The No. 1 leader put on his glasses and spoke to Li Yi again, his tone obviously became more cordial, and he said with a smile: "Li Yi, how did you complete your work in South Africa this time?" ”

When Li Yi heard the chief's title, he saved the word comrade, and unconsciously shortened the distance between him and the chief.

"Chief, our work is going well, mainly because the comrades here are very cooperative, so we have done a good job." Li Yi replied with a slight smile.

The No. 1 leader said: "Comrade Xiao Yan reported to me that there are many abducted compatriots here? Are you clear about this? ”

Li Yi thought to himself, here! It seems that Xiao Yan has done a lot of homework, which has attracted the great attention of the chief. Then he said: "Chief, this kind of thing is true, and there are quite a few abducted people!" ”

The No. 1 chief said: "How come I have never heard of such a big thing in China?" ”

Li Yi said: "Chief, since ancient times, it has been a practice for those who are subordinate to report good news but not bad news, and to deceive their superiors and subordinates. In addition, human trafficking is a major event for the abducted family, but when it is put into the world, it is a little insignificant compared to the major matters of the national economy and people's livelihood, and the comrades below will not report this matter to you. What's more, the country's system is already perfect, and all departments of the state have their own duties, and the public security department will take care of the abduction and trafficking of human beings, and these things will not be reported to your level. ”

The No. 1 chief said: "The ancient emperors still knew how to speak widely, and they knew how to listen to it, and modern informatization was so developed, but I still didn't know much about the people!" This is a dereliction of my job. ”

Li Yi said: "Chief, you are too great. ”

A leader who dares to admit his mistakes and shortcomings and who dares to criticize himself will surely become a good head of state who seeks the well-being of the people and the prosperity of the country

The No. 1 leader said, "As you say. The abduction of these people is really a major event related to the happiness of their families for the common people. Comrade Li Yi, do you know anything else about this matter? I'd like to hear about it. ”

Li Yi said: "Chief, it just so happens that I have a friend whose brother was lost in Binhai City a few years ago. She asked me to find someone. Because I was familiar with Comrade Gao Hu of the Binhai City Public Security Bureau, I asked him to look for him, and today, he contacted me. said that the whereabouts of this person were already known, and it happened that he had been abducted and trafficked to work as a coolie in a mining company in South Africa. ”

The No. 1 chief said: "I have heard of such a thing before, which is to abduct and sell some mentally handicapped people to work as coolies in the mines. ”

Li Yi said: "In China, human traffickers can only abduct and sell some mentally handicapped people. Because of normal people, they can't control it at all, and they can't watch it at all. But abroad, even if it is a normal person. Without a passport or visa, without money, without knowing English, even if you flee, you will not be able to return to your country. ”

The number one leader nodded frequently. said: "Makes sense. Since the Coastal Police have received such useful information, have they taken action to rescue them? ”

Li Yi said: "Comrade Gao Hu acted very quickly. Today, I typed the report and personally sent it to the provincial department and reported it to the Ministry of Public Security, and now we have to wait for the reply from the Ministry of Public Security. Such a major transnational rescue work must rely on the coordination of the Ministry of Public Security. ”

The No. 1 chief said: "I am aware of the efficiency of the central ministries and commissions!" Wait for their approval. If you go further, these suffering abducted compatriots. I'm afraid that many of them will not be able to endure hard labor and die! ”

Li Yi said: "Chief, you are really insightful and love the people like a son!" However, for the Ministry of Public Security to carry out cross-border operations, it must seek the assistance of Interpol. Even if our country's police come here, they do not have the power to enforce the law, and they have to rely on the full assistance of Interpol and the local military police. ”

The No. 1 leader said: "I'll call someone to handle this matter!" Without further ado, hurry up and rescue the abducted people in these two days! ”

Li Yi said: "If this can be done, then the people are very lucky!" ”

At this time, the staff led a person in and said, "Report to the chief, Minister Qin is here." ”

The No. 1 chief said to Minister Qin: "Comrade Qin Kaiming, you wait first, I have a few words with Comrade Li Yi, and after I finish speaking, I will talk to you about the purchase of gold mines." ”

When Li Yi heard this, he asked, "Chief, you said you want to buy gold mines?" ”

Chief No. 1 said, "Well, that's the case. ”

Li Yi saw that the chief was secretive, and was afraid of causing him to misunderstand, thinking that he was gossiping and inquiring, so he said: "Is the gold mine to be acquired the one where the nephew of the president of this country is the director?" ”

The No. 1 leader was slightly surprised and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Qin Kaiming also said: "This matter is very confidential, when the South African government talked to us, no outsiders knew about it. ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "Chief, you don't have to be nervous, it is impossible for me to probe the secrets of state negotiations." I heard it from a friend. ”

Qin Kaiming said: "Chief, no wonder there are competitors who come to grab it!" It turns out that this news has been spread a long time ago! ”

The No. 1 leader said: "This gold mine is of great strategic importance to our country, no matter how many people I am fighting with us, you must take it down!" ”

Qin Kaiming said: "There is a company that has a lot of capital, and the price is very high, and it looks like it is determined to win." ”

The No. 1 leader said, "What price did they offer?" ”

Qin Kaiming said: "It is said that there are 100 million meters of gold!" ”

When Li Yi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself, isn't this the price offered by Tong Fatzi?

This boy fat man actually competed with the country for mining!

"Chief, the friend I know, he is in the mining business in South Africa, and he is interested in buying that gold mine! The last time I heard him say that he had inspected this gold mine, it was worth 100 million meters of gold, could it be that the competitor you are talking about is my friend? Li Yi smiled.

The number one leader said, "Oh? Your friend, so powerful? As soon as he opened his mouth, it was 100 million rice gold, this is not an ordinary big deal! ”

Qin Kaiming said: "In that case, can you talk to your friends and give up the competition for this mining industry?" This gold mine, our domestic state-owned Minmetals Group, will buy it. ”

This is really a gesture for Li Yi, as long as he talks to the scouts, most of them will be successful, so he responded: "This is not a big problem, I can talk to him." He is a very patriotic businessman, although he has developed abroad, but a red heart is towards the motherland. My words still have some influence on him, and I believe he can listen to them. ”

The No. 1 leader waved his hand slightly and said, "Since Li Yi's friend is a patriotic businessman, I think we should take a step back and give up that mine to this patriotic businessman!" ”

Qin Kaiming said: "Chief, this issue, we have discussed it more than once before, and the conclusion is to buy this mine, and now give it up so easily?" ”

Li Yi said: "Chief, I can tell him that this is really not a problem, he doesn't buy this mine, and he can do other business." ”

The No. 1 chief said: "I understand that those overseas Chinese who seek development in foreign countries, their entrepreneurial experience is very difficult, like your friend, can do such a big business, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person!" This mine, although important for our country, is dispensable after all. However, for a businessman, it can mean everything. The kingdom does not compete with the people for food, so let it be given to him! ”

Qin Kaiming said unwillingly: "Chief, this is really a good mine, the gold reserves are very considerable, which is of great significance to enhance my country's gold strategic deployment!" ”

The No. 1 leader said: "Comrade Li Yi's friend is also patriotic!" I believe that if we are in need at home, he will also help us! This mine, in the hands of the state, is not much different from that in the hands of patriotic overseas Chinese. However, this mine is more strategic in the hands of businessmen than in the hands of state-owned enterprises! ”

After pondering for a while, Li Yi understood the meaning of the chief's words, and said, "Chief, I understand. When I go back, I'll convince that friend of mine to take that gold mine down! Please rest assured that his loyalty to the motherland and the people will never change. ”

The No. 1 leader nodded slightly, appreciating Li Yi's ability to understand.

That Qin Kaiming obviously hadn't reacted yet, but he didn't dare to say anything more about the objections, so he only said: "Everything depends on the leader's will." ”

Li Yi said: "My friend is also interested in acquiring a iron and stone mining company, which I think is also a strategic investment for the country. I would advise that friend to try to sell the mined minerals to China at a low price. ”

Chief No. 1 said, "I'm very interested in that friend of yours right now!" Hehe, this person not only has the ability, but also has a great vision, and what is even more rare is that he has a patriotic heart! ”

Li Yi took the opportunity to say: "My friend also has a lot of respect for you, the chief, and when you came to South Africa, he also came to welcome him!" ”

The No. 1 leader said: "Comrade Li Yi, you go back and contact Xiao Yan, arrange a time, and I will meet your friend." ”

Li Yi said: "Haode." As long as it is convenient for the chief, you can call him over at any time. ”

The No. 1 chief said: "That can't be too casual, well, let me see, the banquet in the past few days is full, just tomorrow morning, I'll invite that friend of yours to have breakfast and chat." ”

Li Yixi said: "Then on behalf of my friend, I thank the chief!" ”

"Well, go ahead, I still have to coordinate the matter just now, the matter of rescuing my compatriots, it is urgent! Comrade Qin Kaiming, you can also go down. Chief One said.

Li Yi and Qin Kaiming took their leave.

It was not the first time Qin Kaiming had seen Li Yi, and after he came out, he smiled and said, "Comrade Li Yi, come sit with me?" ”

Li Yi said: "Minister Qin, I still have something to do, I'll visit you another day." ”

Qin Kaiming also said politely, shook hands with Li Yi, and went back separately.
