It was not too late, so Xu Xin did not call to disturb others immediately.

It was not until the next morning when he called Zhou Shuqing.

According to the habits of these big bosses, leaving phone calls to others is basically the secretary's phone number.

However, after the previous football match, Zhou Shuqing knew Xu Xin's specific identity and seemed to admire Xu Xin very much, so she left her phone number for Xu Xin.

There are not many calls to dial his cell phone directly.

When the phone was answered, Zhou Shuqing said bluntly: "Xu Xin, I heard from Secretary He that you met yesterday."

"Yes, I chatted with Secretary He for a while yesterday."

"I'm inspecting the work at the football club. Do you have time to visit the club?"

"Okay," Xu Xin was thinking about meeting Zhou Shuqing, but he didn't expect that the other party was so understanding and offered an invitation to him, "When will you have time?"

"You come here now. Come here from Xingfu City. I will be here today in just over an hour."

"See you!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin told his father to use a car and drove directly to the provincial capital.

Hongchen Football Club currently does not have its own venue. In the previous years, the Huachao competitions were rented in the provincial capital.

The club is headquartered in the suburbs of the northern part of the provincial capital, with complete training facilities.

Xu Xin drove into the club smoothly. Under the guidance of a special person, he came to the gym next to the training ground and met Zhou Shuqing.

Zhou Shuqing was lifting iron and sweating profusely.

No wonder he is in his forties or fifties and has strong muscles, which cannot be separated from his passion for fitness.

"I'm so sorry for letting you run so far to meet me."

Zhou Shuqing took the towel handed over by someone else, wiped the sweat from her face, and showed an apology to Xu Xin.

"Why don't you meet in the office building of your group headquarters?" Xu Xin seemed to be asking recklessly, but in fact he did it on purpose.

Is this questioning his position within the group?

Zhou Shuqing threw the towel aside and said without hesitation: "At the group headquarters, I am a thorn in the eyes of many people."

I sat down in the rest area and the green training ground was outside the window.

It was the end of November, all competitions entered the offseason, the players were already on holiday, and the training ground was empty.

After Zhou Shuqing replenished a little moisture, he went straight to the topic and said: "What is Zhao Sheng's relationship with you?"

"He is my uncle." Xu Xin took his eyes away from the window.

"You are here today to solve the problem for Zhao Sheng?"

"I don't have that much energy." Xu Xin's mind was very clear.

Zhou Shuqing wiped the sweat beads from her forehead and pondered: "Zhao Sheng found Secretary He through our group engineer Hu Jixing, and Secretary He found me here.

Equipment leasing is indeed part of the work that our group is studying.

My opinion is to agree that Zhao Sheng’s company cooperates with our group and also greet the group management.”

"Here, I have to say thank you to you for my uncle." Xu Xin said sincerely.

"Things haven't been done, there's no need to thank you."

Zhou Shuqing seemed to open up the matter and said, "Hu Jixing used to be the director of our group's technical department. He has been taken down in recent years because many people think that Hu Jixing is my person.

By the way, there are often the same argument within our group, and there are two factions, one faction led by me, and the other faction led by my elder brother Zhou Shushan."

"My uncle's equipment rental matter was ultimately rejected by Zhou Shushan?"

"Yes."

Zhou Shuqing's fingers crossed and said slowly: "This matter is not simply a matter of cooperation, but involves some struggles in the group's management.

Zhou Shushan did this not to target Zhao Sheng, but to me.

He hopes that I will resign as chairman as soon as possible.”

This is a family matter within other people's group.

Xu Xin shook his shoulders for a moment and didn't say anything.

"I also hope Zhou Shushan will leave the group as soon as possible."

Zhou Shuqing looked at Xu Xin and asked, "Do you know which company was finally signing the equipment rental with the group?"

"Hmm?" Xu Xin was waiting for the other party to continue the words.

"Wangcai Equipment Company, the legal person is an elderly man from a remote mountain village, and the actual controller is Zhou Shushan's wife. In fact, the so-called Wangcai Equipment Company is just a bag company. The one who ultimately provides the equipment may be Zhao Sheng or another second bag company."

"Yes." Xu Xin didn't know why the other party said this matter in such a detailed detail.

"It's not just about equipment leasing, but also about the outsourcing projects every year, as well as the companies that cooperate with the group, are basically closely related to Zhou Shushan's family.

Just talk about a business you are familiar with, mineral exploration technology, and the exploration technology costs invested in mercury mines every year are tens of millions!"

When Zhou Shuqing talked about the struggle within the group, she was not as passionate as an angry young man, and she was very calm, as if she was talking about other people's stories.

Just yesterday, Xu Xin just learned something that Zhou Shushan’s son Zhou Runzhe is the deputy general manager of Hongchen Group.

If Zhou Shuqing's words just now were not adulterated, then it can be said that Zhou Shushan and his family will join forces to make the Hongchen Group.

I guess Zhou Shuqing is not yet old enough to take a nap by the fire and gossip and talk. After saying such a long speech, he will definitely make some references.

Seeing Xu Xin's thoughtful eyes, Zhou Shuqing did not hide his final thoughts, "I want to regain control of the group."

"You look down on me. I can't help with this matter at all." Xu Xin even felt that he was still a layman in corporate management, let alone these intrigue struggles.

"I need an explanation, or a fuse, that can clarify the conflicts and positions of both sides, and then quickly and directly resolve the matter."

Zhou Shuqing obviously had a plan, and in his plan, he arranged a role similar to cannon fodder for Xu Xin. "Our Hongchen Group's business is mainly mercury mines, and mineral resources are consumables. As time goes by, the resources are fewer and fewer, and one day it will be exhausted.

In recent years, under the leadership of Zhou Shushan, the group has increased its efforts to exploit mercury mineral resources, but its profits have declined year by year.

Not only do I have any objections, but other shareholders are already complaining.

On the board of directors, I think I am the one who wins the hearts of the people.”

Xu Xin was thinking about the other person's words.

Many things are beyond his understanding, and it is even difficult to distinguish the authenticity of each sentence.

He did not think that Zhou Shuqing must be at the height of morality or justice.

Different interests will lead to conflicts.

Everyone stands from their own perspective and is the one who masters the truth.

Seeing Xu Xin silent, Zhou Shuqing picked up the water bottle and took a sip of water. After a long time of silence, he slowly spoke: "I used to be the general manager of the group and was responsible for the group's operations. Later... do you know why my power was lost?"

Xu Xin was actually not very interested in the other party’s deeds.

Zhou Shuqing turned her head and looked at the surrounding scenery. Her movements and expressions had already explained everything.

"I spent 500 million to buy this football club and emptied the group's capital flow. I originally planned to take this as an opportunity to vigorously develop the mountain spring water business. My idea is that our mountain spring water has already set up sales channels around. As long as we rely on the hot topic of football, we will definitely be able to completely open up the national market and raise a money tree!"

Zhou Shuqing said, smiling bitterly at Xu Xin, "Every step requires a lot of money to increase publicity, upgrade production lines, open up channels, etc.

The board of directors believed that I was using group funds to satisfy my hobbies, so it rejected the subsequent investment and cut off my plans.

Football clubs are really just football clubs, and they have really become my hobby."

After saying so much, Xu Xin still didn't quite understand what the other party wanted to do.

These words will not be said to him for no reason.

"I can understand your situation."

Xu Xin raised his eyes and said, "I came here today, actually I want to consult you about my uncle's equipment rental. Is there still a possibility of cooperation with your group?"

"What I just said to you is talking about Zhao Sheng with you."

"Hmm?" Xu Xin was full of question marks.

“I need to seize the right to speak in order to make a decision.”

Zhou Shuqing saw Xu Xin’s eyes were confused and said, “I have found several famous exploration technology units in the province, but they seem to be unwilling to cooperate with our group. In some aspects, our group’s reputation has become less good.”

Many exploration technology companies already know that it is difficult to get the final payment when cooperating with Hongchen Group.

Some of the reasons outside can also guess.

"Do you want us to help you with the exploration work?" Xu Xin understood.

A few days ago, at the headquarters of Fu Phosphorus Group, the other party talked about this topic positively.

"I know what you did in the Yantugou bauxite project. By summarizing old information, you can thoroughly understand the situation of the ore layer and come up with a good deposit map, which is enough to guide the mining operations.

Hu Jixing specifically contacted Qian Mining. After reading the information you made by yourself, he praised you endlessly!

You not only refuted the huge erroneous view of large deposits, but also found out the real situation of the lens-like ore body. Your technical level is incomparable to ordinary geological experts."

Zhou Shuqing brought the topic back to Hongchen Group, "Our Hongchen Group invests in exploration every year, and has a very huge amount of information!
