Section 84: Hole

Even though You Lianxiang reacted quickly enough, she immediately reported this suspicion to Qi Yuhong, which immediately attracted Qi Yuhong's high attention and asked the Municipal Public Security Bureau to intervene in secretly. The investigation result shocked the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Government. The 20 million CCB deposited its account in advance had already been left, and the training funds and deposits collected by the workers were only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. The 25 million CCB was immediately suspended on the way to transfer the money.

The so-called Hong Kong businessman had already disappeared with his financial manager, leaving only the ignorant general manager and a group of so-called management recruiting in China.

The case immediately caused a huge uproar in Ningling. The 20 million yuan loan of CCB was mortgaged with 500 acres of land. The land payment of Hong Kong merchants did not pay the penalties. However, in order to show support and sincerity, the city illegally required the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau to apply for a land certificate for the other party in advance. The attached factory on the land was built by Ningling Second Construction Department. It has not been completed yet, let alone pay the project payment. The training fee and deposit paid by more than 1,000 workers became an explosive package, which could blow the development zone management committee to pieces at any time.

Qi Yuhong really didn't know what to do, and felt that it was so difficult to be the secretary of the municipal party committee. But he could encounter these many broken things, and the holes were made bigger than each other!

"Old Zhou, tell me, what's going on? Didn't you and Mei Yinghua lead the team to Guangdong and Hong Kong to visit each other's companies? Didn't you report back and say that the other party is strong and worth billions of dollars?"

Qi Yuhong no longer wants to hide his anger and anger in his heart. These borers! When they go out, they are made by the coastal and Hong Kong flower world, and they don’t know what their surname is. Now, they can make a huge hole in Ning Ling at once, with a total of nearly 22 million! That has to be counted on the city’s finance department, and they are wasted without even having a single shot!

Yan Limin sat in a tight position, but he sneered in his heart. There was no doubt that Zhou Chunxiu was in trouble this time, and 22 million was wasted. Although the Provincial Public Security Department had already reported to the Ministry of Public Security to ask Interpol for help in the investigation, the other party was undoubtedly a veteran. After a trip to the inspection, he took a group of idiots to other people's factories and office buildings for a walk. He was always in Hong Kong for the rest of the time. Now, he was put on a condom by others, and not to mention the 22 million. What was even more embarrassing is where the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government faced him?

A large group of government officials were played around by a group of scammers, and the gongs and drums were ringing and welcoming the scammers to Ningling to prostitute and gambling. Ningyuan still owed a lot of bills, which was enough to demonstrate the ability, quality and level of Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government cadres.

"Secretary Qi, Mei Yinghua and I have also Director Liao, Chairman Bai and others went to inspect. The specific contact was Mei Yinghua contacting the Hong Kong side. I just led a team in name, and the routes were negotiated by Mei Yinghua and Hong Kong. We just followed and went to Dongguan and Hong Kong. We introduced that this is the factory building of Hong Kong side here. For details..." Zhou Chunxiu's face turned pale, but at this time she looked pale, her hair seemed a little scattered, and she was no longer ordinary meticulous.

"Okay, Lao Zhou, you and Mei Yinghua should recall the detailed experiences of your inspection, especially their activities in China, that is, Guangdong, to see who they contacted, if there are any valuable clues to provide, and cooperate with the Provincial Public Security Department to assist in solving this case."

Qi Yuhong didn't talk nonsense to this guy anymore. He had different opinions when this guy was changed to the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, but he didn't know what the province thought about it. In the end, he was determined to be the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee. In Qi Yuhong's opinion, this guy was at most a deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee to do some writing materials, and even being the secretary-general of the municipal party committee was not qualified to be the secretary-general of the municipal party committee.

"Lao Yan, is there any news from the provincial department?"

"No, it's still fast. ICBC's 25 million account was almost a step into the other party's account. That would be a tragic one. It's a blessing in disgrace." Yan Limin shook his head, "These guys are very cunning. They both came out of his close friends and the financial manager. All the others were hired by him in the domestic talent market. They didn't know the inside story at all. On the surface, they were also dedicated to doing business. Now the money in his account has been transferred to a Hong Kong account, and then transferred to some financial companies and then left the country. It would be difficult to truly recover the money." Yan Limin shook his head.

Everyone here was scared. The 25 million ICBC loan was guaranteed by the Development Zone Management Committee. If it was cheated, the Management Committee would not have an independent finance, which means that the city finance had to fill the hole. The total amount was more than 40 million skeletons, which was equivalent to one-eighth of the city's annual fiscal revenue, which was really a life-threatening person!

Qi Yuhong was also scared. If You Lianxiang hadn't reported it in time, all of them would have been kept in the dark and would have daydreams of investing tens of millions in the second phase.

"Lao Yan, have the workers and the construction site comforted me?" Qi Yuhong frowned.

"The management committee and the municipal bureau have both taken over, and the workers' training fees and deposits are refunding. However, the Second Construction Department is in a big trouble. The factory has been repaired for several months and is about to be completed. Who will pay? These building materials are also on credit. The problems that may be brought by this chain reaction may also need to be considered." Yan Limin pondered for a moment and said: "In addition, the market is spreading so much now. I am afraid that the city should also consider what measures to take to clarify the facts and avoid rumors becoming more outrageous. Now it is said that the city has been cheated of hundreds of millions of dollars and the city finance is about to go bankrupt. All kinds of statements are very shocking. The municipal party committee may need to take some measures to cheer up and eliminate these adverse effects."

Mayor Mai Jiahui went to the Provincial Party School for training a month ago. The province felt that the special training on accelerating development was effective, so he opened another department-level cadre training class, requiring a rotation training for the full-time department-level cadres across the province. Mai Jiahui was also the first batch to participate. The work in this city was arranged by Qi Yuhong, and Jin Yongjian temporarily presided over the work of the municipal government.

"Lao Jin, you can find a way to stabilize the Second Construction Department and those material suppliers. In addition, all the workers' fundraising will be refunded. The city's finance will be paid first. This is related to the overall stability." Qi Yuhong gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Yan, you urge the Provincial Public Security Department to do your best to help solve the case and recover the money. This loss is a loss for Ningling. We must recover it to the greatest extent. Well, Minister Mao, during this period, newspapers and TV stations should pay attention to public opinion guidance and broadcast more exciting and positive content, especially more economic development content."

Propaganda Minister Mao Ping also nodded repeatedly.

"Everyone, after their respective departments go back, they must convey their spirits, requiring them not to believe in rumors, and to promote them to the outside world, which means that the matter is still under investigation, and I believe that the political and legal organs will have a clear conclusion." Qi Yuhong was already exhausted when he finished speaking.

When You Lianxiang walked into Qi Yuhong's office, Qi Yuhong was resting in the office. It can be seen that this investment fraud incident had a great blow to Qi Yuhong, especially the loss was so huge, but it became a laughing stock. It can be imagined that the image of Ningling City team in the minds of the leaders of the province, especially the impression of him as the squad leader, would be greatly reduced. During this period, the province would inevitably focus on Ningling.

"Secretary-General, what are you doing in Zhou Chunxiu and Mei Yinghua? They wouldn't even notice such an obvious scam. They went to Hong Kong and Dongguan for a long time. Didn't they learn anything useful?" Qi Yuhong opened his eyes and looked at the distance outside the window for a while before snorting heavily, "I was so funny that I was like a fool. I took it to any company to see it and thought it was someone else's industry. When I arrived in Hong Kong, I didn't know what my surname was. What do you think about us cadres all day long?"

"Secretary Qi, Lao Zhou and Mei Yinghua are responsible for negligence and missed supervision, but there are also some objective reasons. First, these international scammers are indeed quite professional and have a complete range of props. It can be said that they have been planning for a long time. Second, Lao Zhou had not had much contact with economic work before, and was probably not very specialized in this aspect, and lacked the necessary vigilance. Third, our city was a little rash in this matter. At the beginning, the economic department in charge of this aspect did not conduct in-depth and meticulous investigations and research on the qualifications and basic situation of this Hong Kong businessman, which caused this kind of thing."

You Lianxiang commented very objectively, especially the last point that Qi Yuhong was very satisfied. The municipal government was leading the operation of this project in the early stage. Although the municipal party committee also paid great attention, it was not directly involved. It just happened that Mai Jiahui was not there during this period.

"Oh, it seems that our cadres have to choke a lot of water when they learn to swim in the market economy tide. But this time the saliva is too big." Qi Yuhong sighed a little, as if he remembered something again: "By the way, Secretary-General, I haven't had time to ask you, why do you suddenly feel that there is something wrong with this?"

You Lianxiang had known that Qi Yuhong's fineness would definitely think of this problem, so she was prepared: "Gaoyang Gao of the Municipal Procuratorate was promoted to deputy secretary of the Party Group. He invited me and Zhao Guodong. During the meal, I accidentally mentioned that the investment scale of this project in the city was the largest. Zhao Guodong said that the toy industry had high requirements for transportation and logistics, especially in exports, and paid special attention to transportation issues. He felt that Hong Kong merchants invested so much here and it was not easy to recover costs. I was a little suspicious at that time. Later, when talking about the issue of delayed payment of land funds and financing loans, Zhao Guodong and Gaoyang felt that there were probably some problems in this, so I reported to you."

Qi Yuhong felt relieved when he heard You Lianxiang's words. How could You Lianxiang have such a keen insight into this project that made him puzzled.

Zhao Guodong and Gao Yang, one from the public security department, and the other from the procuratorate, were naturally more sensitive to this aspect. Gao Yang, Zhao Guodong and You Lianxiang both came from Andu, and the relationship between the three has always been good. Qi Yuhong also knew that Gao Yang was the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Municipal Procuratorate, and You Lianxiang also helped in it. You Lianxiang also specifically talked about this with Qi Yuhong.

"If our cadres can maintain more vigilance in economic work, this kind of thing can be avoided to a great extent." Qi Yuhong also sighed, "It is almost fatal to our Ningling image. Not only in the eyes of the people, our government cadres are a group of people who are bored and a bunch of people, but also plummet in the eyes of provincial leaders."

You Lianxiang also felt that Qi Yuhong's luck was really bad. There were many problems, especially after Ningling, which was previously hyped up, the number one foreign capital took over the project after the establishment of Ningling City, and even wrote a big book in Anyuan Daily. Now it has become a scam. The fool in the scam is Ningling City. The people laughed and scolded. Now the leaders are very concerned about public opinion. It is hard to say whether the leaders in the province have any opinions on Ningling.

"Secretary Qi, I think it's not possible to keep doing this. I still have to think of some ways to reverse the current unfavorable image of the city." You Lianxiang suggested.

"Oh, do you have any good ideas?" Qi Yuhong looked slightly.

"Isn't the Chinese medicinal materials base in Caoji about to be completed? A ceremony can be held. In addition, the project of the Qilin Temple - Hulunshan Tourism Scenic Area in Hualin is also completed and officially open to the public. This can be regarded as the largest investment introduced by our Ningling, and it is an investment in the tourism industry, which is also very obvious to the local economy. Therefore, you can consider asking provincial leaders to attend the completion opening ceremony. I heard from Xiao Zhao that the investor intends to hold a considerable cultural evening party to create momentum for the tourist attractions, and is preparing to invite some famous literary and artistic stars from both China and Hong Kong and Taiwan to help. If this matter can be finalized, the city will promote it appropriately, and it may divert the attention of the people."

"Oh?" Qi Yuhong was also happy and was worried about this problem. The people of Ningling have been talking about this topic for the past few days, and they are quite tempting to find the bottom line, waiting for the results of the investigation. It is not a solution to continue like this. The best way is to find a more eye-catching topic to attract the attention of the people. If the time is delayed a little longer, the sensitivity of the people will gradually decrease, and the pressure in the city can also be alleviated. "Are you saying that Zhejiang Xinghan Company is interested in this activity?"

"Well, it seems that Xinghan Company has this meaning, but this tourism development company has multiple investments. Xinghan Company also needs to consider the ideas of several other investors, especially the ideas of Canglang Group." You Lianxiang nodded, "This matter has not been confirmed yet, but I think our city can come forward to help promote it. But I am worried that if this performance is to be held, whether it is placed in Ningling or Hualin. If it is placed in Hualin, it will not make much sense to the city. If it is placed in Ningling, I am worried that Xinghan Company will not agree, and the Hualin County Party Committee and County Government may have opinions."
