Chapter 739 Watertight
The result of the supermarket being smashed soon came out. It was caused by four drunk vagrants. Hu Dashan personally went to the police station to take a look at the four vagrants, and read the interrogation records and various evidence.
"Did they really do it?" Yang Dongxu frowned and looked at Hu Dashan in a teahouse by the West Lake, with Miao Shan sitting next to him.
"From the evidence investigated by the police, it is indeed these four." Hu Dashan nodded with a somewhat unpleasant look.
The police did not fool around with this matter. From arresting suspects to collecting evidence, to sudden and separate in-depth questioning, the whole case can be said to be an ironclad case, because it was these four people who smashed the supermarket.
That night, the four people gathered together to drink. Because they drank too much and became drunk, they violently broke the door of the supermarket and went in to smash it. After smashing it, they were not satisfied and moved to the supermarket warehouse behind to smash it and then left.
So the four people confessed and admitted that they did it, so the police investigation of this matter can only stop here. Even though everyone knows that these four people may have been instructed by someone.
But the four people insisted that they did it. Without evidence, you can't ask the police to arrest people just based on suspicion, right? Even if you can arrest the other party as a suspect based on suspicion, then what? How can you prosecute and continue the process without evidence?
"What is the result of your investigation?" Yang Dongxu looked at Miao Shan.
"It is indeed four rogues. The place where they drank that night and several witnesses found on the way to the supermarket are indeed them. These four people are local people in Hangzhou. They have no jobs and usually make a living by stealing and extortion.
That night, they just helped someone collect a sum of money and took some money, so they drank a lot of wine in a nightclub, and then wandered all the way to the door of the supermarket, broke into the door and smashed it." Miao Shan said.
"Nothing else?" Yang Dongxu frowned.
"Nothing else has been found yet. The only person who is involved with these four people is the loan shark boss, but this kind of person is very slippery. When the police were collecting evidence to arrest these four suspects, they seemed to have gotten some news and ran away." Miao Shan shook his head.
"They cleaned up very well." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but sneered.
To be honest, he really didn't expect this kind of investigation result at the beginning. The case was handled impartially and everything was based on evidence, but the Millennium Supermarket suffered a loss.
"What about now?" Hu Dashan opened his mouth.
"Have you finished calculating the losses of the supermarket?"
"2.13 million, plus the losses from the supermarket's later renovation and closure, a total of 3.06 million." Hu Dashan said.
"Let's make the losses higher and start at at least 5 million. Since they are determined not to give up, even if they can't be sentenced to death, let them stay for life." Yang Dongxu bit his back teeth. Being so cunning but unable to fight back undoubtedly made him very depressed.
So after he finished speaking, he glanced at Miao Shan.
Miao Shan paused for a moment and then nodded: "I'll arrange it!"
Since other evidence cannot be found, the only clues are these four people. Even if Yang Dongxu is sentenced, he will not let these four people live in peace. He wants to tell these people that it is not so easy to get the money. He doesn't believe that these four people will never speak up after at least ten years in prison and being dealt with in prison.
Things are not progressing now. He is also very depressed, but he doesn't mind waiting for a while. The fox will always show its tail. He deserves the loss of millions of dollars. If you want to play, then play well.
"Who is the local partner of Carrefour?" Yang Dongxu took a sip of tea and asked smoothly.
"The leader's family is usually very low-key and not very ostentatious. I haven't heard that he has made enemies with anyone. There was no conflict with us before, and there was no trace of the other party's action in this matter."
"Then check this Zhu Baicheng and get him." Yang Dongxu snorted coldly.
"His roots are in Guangdong, and we don't have many people there. And it is said that his wife's family is very powerful in the local area. If you want to check, it will be difficult to do it for a while." Miao Shan said.
"Then you guys watch out for Hangzhou first and I'll ask someone to check the south."
"Should I do something to test the pressure?" Miao Shan asked.
"The later stage of the logistics center construction is suspended, and the early stage decoration is delivered for use first, and the construction center is placed in Nanling. The logistics center, which is ranked second, is promoted to the first place, and Hangzhou is delayed." Yang Dongxu said after a pause.
Millennium Supermarket's investment in Zhejiang Province obviously cannot be stopped. If it stops, it will be equivalent to giving up the market to its competitors. So the pressure test can only be done from the logistics center.
"How long will it take?"
"Just keep delaying. After the completion of the first phase of the project, it will serve as a transit station for three to four years. Even if it is not enough, we can divert traffic to Nanling after the construction of the Nanling Logistics Base is completed.
In short, when the mastermind behind this matter is found out, or when Carrefour is driven out of Zhejiang Province, we can discuss the construction of the second and third phases. We will transfer construction machinery and funds to Nanling tomorrow."
"In the future, in addition to supplying materials to the entire Zhejiang Province, logistics from other places will no longer go to Zhoushan Port, but will go directly from the Magic City Port to Nanling, and then send the goods to the whole country. It just so happens that there is also a waterway on the Yangtze River there, which can not only solve the problem of insufficient land transportation but also save freight."
Since he decided to test the pressure in this regard, Yang Dongxu obviously did not intend to drag his feet. Not only did he stop the construction of the logistics center, but he also planned to transfer the port goods to other ports.
Although Zhoushan Port would not suffer any major losses due to the lack of a merchant like him, the tax revenue in Zhejiang Province has actually lost a lot of money.
And currently, nearly one-fifth of the logistics from Zhoushan to Ningbo and then to Hangzhou is controlled by Miaoshan Dafeng Logistics. Dafeng Logistics suddenly locked the flow of goods, and no one can replace it in a short time.
Of course, Yang Dongxu did not intend to make the logistics lock-up angry, otherwise it would be made physical even if it was obviously reasonable, and it would go against the government agencies and even affect people's lives. Anyone with a brain knows that this thing cannot be done.
This lock-up means that things that can be transported or not will be chosen not to be transported, and no more logistics business will be added. Things that can be transported should be transported as little as possible to reduce the number of vehicles, and the main transportation capacity will be gradually transferred to Nanling.
In fact, Yang Dongxu had planned to shift the focus of Dafeng Logistics to Nanling after the construction of Hangzhou Logistics Center was completed.
Because the water transport of Nanling is too attractive compared to Hangzhou, there is no place more suitable than it along the Yangtze River network. This is an inevitable step for Dafeng Logistics to dominate the country.
And this step was put after Hangzhou because the current logistics and transportation are barely enough. Since a pit has been occupied in advance, it is OK to build it accordingly, and there is no need to waste too many resources in advance.
Hangzhou built in advance because he was afraid that Lao Ma would grow too fast and occupy this pit first, so he decided to complete the construction of Hangzhou in advance to establish a land base for the future national rapid logistics. With the opening of the highway, it is obviously much slower to go by water, so it will not cause too much waste to arrange this earlier.
Now the first phase of the project at this point has been completed, and it is barely enough to occupy this pit. Then the rest will be tilted towards Nanling with the influence of this incident.
He attaches great importance to the incident of the Millennium Supermarket being beaten up, after all, it is the first chain supermarket in the country and an international retail giant. As a leader, he had to pay attention to the competition between the two companies in Hangzhou.
But although he paid attention, he had no intention of taking sides. He was impartial in any matter concerning the two companies. Because Hangzhou needed foreign investment, but Millennium Supermarket had invested a lot in the whole Zhejiang Province.
If he took sides, Hangzhou might be happy to get more investment from Carrefour, but the province would let him eat the first place, not to mention that Millennium Supermarket was not so easy to mess with.
From the time he opened the first supermarket in Hangzhou, he recruited employees with the families of soldiers and sacrificed police officers in mind, and maintained a good cooperative relationship with the military and the police. If he wanted to attract more foreign investment, the people below would not be willing to do so.
No matter how good Carrefour is, no matter how foreign capital it is, have you taken care of the families of soldiers and sacrificed police officers? Have you paid me a salary? If not, what are you talking about? At this time, you can't say that the people below are realistic, because this is life.
What Cheng Wensong didn't expect was that he was impartial and at the same time he saw that there couldn't be too many mistakes in this matter. As a result, there were still mistakes, and it was a big incident. Millennium Supermarket was directly smashed, and the direct and indirect losses reached 6.2 million, not to mention the impact on the reputation of Millennium Supermarket.
Although Cheng Wensong's direct loss was full of water, there were still direct losses of two to three million. This is also a big case, after all, the direct losses are in the millions.
So he urged the police to strictly handle the case and make it a solid case that no one can find fault with and give the parties a satisfactory explanation.
As a result, the case was handled in accordance with his instructions and with sufficient evidence. No matter from the procedure or from the entire process of the case investigation, Millennium Supermarket could not find any fault.
But this is undoubtedly a huge problem. Anyone who is not a fool knows that this matter is not a simple case of a few idle people getting drunk and acting crazy, but the evidence can only progress to this point and he can't do anything.
Therefore, he thought about whether he should find time to sit down with the person in charge of Millennium Supermarket to express the city government's concern and attitude towards this matter, and at the same time give some tax exemptions and interest-free loans as compensation.
But what he didn't expect was that Millennium Supermarket was still stable at present, and Dafeng Logistics jumped out first.
