Nie Zhenbang’s action somewhat moved Liang Ligui. Though Liu Kun didn’t explicitly say it, Liang Ligui was well aware that Nie’s third brother had significant connections in high places.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was willing to humble himself and make a phone call in front of him, regardless of whether the matter would succeed or not. This showed that Nie Zhenbang was open and sincere.

The phone connected after just a couple of rings. Nie Zhenbang promptly picked it up and said, “Hello, please connect me to the leader’s office. This is Nie Zhenbang.”

Soon, Elder Nie’s hearty voice rang out from the phone, “Zhenbang, you’re back? You were gone for more than a month. Not a single update, don’t you think to give a call home, son?”

Elder Nie’s words carried a hint of concern, which touched Nie Zhenbang. In his previous life, he did not have much interaction with his grandfather.

Reflecting now, it seemed normal. In his previous life, being a bastard child was a status his grandfather greatly disliked, and being physically disabled didn’t help. A man of his grandfather’s standing, no matter how much he loved him, would never lower his pride. In this life, Nie Zhenbang’s series of actions helped remove the barrier between him and his grandfather.

Nie Zhenbang replied with a smile, “Grandfather, I’ve been quite busy, with no time to make a call. Fortunately, everything that needed to be handled has been taken care of. I called you as soon as I got back. There’s one more thing I’d like to discuss with you.”

He proceeded to share Deputy Secretary Liang’s situation from Caoyuan

Province. On the other end of the line, Elder Nie fell silent for quite some time.

In all honesty, Elder Nie wasn’t a government official. However, he admitted that Nie Zhenbang’s assumption was correct. After stepping into the core of the reform faction, Elder Nie truly understood the far-sighted vision of the leader.

Since the major disbanding of a million soldiers years ago, Elder Nie understood that the main function of the military now was to maintain domestic stability during this transition period, ensuring the regular rotation of national leadership. Once the incumbent leader’s successor officially took the stage, the military’s role would return to its original position. The principle and ideology of our party was that the military should not interfere in politics.

Hearing Nie Zhenbang recognizing this situation made Elder Nie very pleased. Among the Nie family’s second generation, his eldest son Nie Guodong was average, and his youngest son Nie Guowei was barely passable. In the third generation, Jialiang’s abilities weren’t bad, but his prospects were limited. Due to his relationship with the Nie family, he could only expect to reach the level of a deputy national leader at most. And then there was Nie Jiamin, who was clearly suited for the military.

Surprisingly, this originally superfluous third grandson, who once made Elder

Nie feel mortified, accomplished a lot more than he expected. After a moment of reflection, Elder Nie said, “Zhenbang, let this young Liang come to Jingcheng in person tomorrow. It so happens, I’ve invited Old Huang to have dinner at my house tomorrow.”

At this point, Nie Zhenbang understood Elder Nie’s intentions. Old Huang was likely Nie Jiamin’s maternal grandfather, Deputy Prime Minister Huang. It seemed that the matter around Deputy Secretary Liang had been resolved.

After hanging up, Nie Zhenbang looked over at an expectant Liang Ligui and smiled, “Ligui, it’s done. You should have your father head to Jingcheng tomorrow. A phone call should suffice.”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, the tension in Liang Ligui’s heart eased. The path had been paved for him; whether it would come to fruition depended on how well his father performed in the meeting tomorrow.

Liang Ligui stood up and said, “Third Brother, I will remember this favor. In the future, if you need anything, just say the word.”

After staying in Caoyuan Province for one night, Nie Zhenbang and Liu Kun caught a direct flight to Jingcheng City the next day.

Jingcheng City Airport

At the moment, a crowd of young people gathered within the parking apron, around several brand new BMW 750i cars. This BMW model, coded as E32, was BMW Company’s newest product for the year.

A 5.0L V12 engine. It can give the car a strong power of three hundred horsepower. Three black BMW 750s were parked side by side, with a Ferrari and a Porsche behind them. This kind of fleet immediately attracted the attention of passersby. But once they saw all the plates were uniform military plates, everyone took a quick glance and then moved away.

Every person in Jingcheng knew very well that these people weren’t ones to cross.

At this moment, Yang Anbang was standing at the front, and Xiao Yali was next to him. Their relationship had become clear, to the point where their elders had even met for the first time. It was expected that by the end of the year, their relationship would be officially solidified.

Li Hua and Zhang Xu were waiting nearby.

As the plane landed, Nie Zhenbang and Liu Kun just walked out of the gangway. Looking at the scene below, Liu Kun exclaimed, “Oh man, Third

Brother, are these our people in Jingcheng? It seems like they’re welcoming Nixon. These arrangements seem too excessive. They all look like nouveau riche. I think the gas cars in Jarno are better.”

Looking at these cars and listening to Liu Kun talking about gas cars, Nie Zhenbang’s eyes lit up at this moment. Cars were a man’s favorite thing. In his previous life, Nie Zhenbang didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of driving. However, this did not prevent Nie Zhenbang from appreciating and studying cars.

From his memory, Audi didn’t enter Huaxia until later. Around this time, he guessed that FAWwas still in talks with Chrysler.

This was a good opportunity. If he could snatch Audi from FAW, Nie Zhenbang believed that he could make a great profit from it, at least, not worse than FAWs 50-50 stake.

At this moment, Yang Anbang felt especially moved. Before Nie Zhenbang went to the Soviet Union, he had some doubts and even advised Nie Zhenbang. But when the national central bank converted Nie Zhenbang’s 20 million US dollars into 744-4 million yuan according to the current exchange rate and deposited it into the Wal-Mart Supermarket’s corporate account, he was surprised.

Moreover, what was even more surprising was the news Yang Anbang got from his grandfather, indicating that this was only the beginning and there were more assets being processed in the Soviet Union.

At this moment, Yang Anbang felt shocked, and even considered pulling Nie Zhenbang fully into business. From Yang Anbang’s perspective, it would be a pity for Nie Zhenbang not to go into business.

As Nie Zhenbang walked down the plane and headed this way, Yang Anbang waved his hand. Everyone shouted, “Third Brother, welcome back victorious.” At this time, Zhang Xu had also come over. Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Zhang Xu now had less of a competitive feel. After a mutual embrace, both men felt a sense of camaraderie.

“Third Brother, I admit, compared to you, I’m not as good. I was planning to go to the military unit before. Knowing that you would come back today, I deliberately postponed it by one day. I’m leaving. Our competition isn’t over. Don’t worry, I, Zhang Xu, won’t admit defeat so easily.” Zhang Xu left, appearing very confident.

Looking at Zhang Xu’s retreating figure, Nie Zhenbang also sighed. He’s really a young talent. Zhang Xu was indeed a friend worth having.

Shaking his head, Nie Zhenbang adjusted his mood and teasingly hugged Yang Anbang’s neck, and whispered, “Brother-in-law, development is going well, isn’t it? Now, I have a new business. I am wondering if you’re interested?”

Yang Anbang was somewhat speechless. This kid always had something up his sleeve, and his comments were always full of traps. When he asked about development, Yang Anbang wasn’t sure if he was asking about the supermarket or about his relationship with Xiao Yali. Yang Anbang avoided the topic, but he was quite curious about the business proposition, “What business? Regardless of whether I’m interested or not, I’ll join you if you’re doing it.”

Nie Zhenbang laughed, “Second Brother, this time it’s not about supermarkets. This time, I plan to establish a car company, to deal with real industries. Do you know Audi? I heard that Audi seems to be very interested in FAW.. How about we snatch this business deal together?”
