Chapter 925: Still Short of Money
Let’s talk about Zhong Yi later.
I stayed at the construction site of Zhaobaoshan Fortress for a long time, and did not leave until the afternoon to return to the city.
When Zhong Yi returned to the city again, he found that the streets of Lao San District had become empty again, and all the refugees who had been sleeping in the streets or set up tents on the streets were gone.
Of course, these refugees did not leave Yinjiang, but moved to the diwali area in Yinxi.
Now, after the three old areas of Haishu, Jiangbei and Jiangdong, Yinjiang City has added Yinjiang New District and Diwo District. Of course, Diwo District is not the official title, but it has been opened by the people.
Less than five minutes after I returned to the office and sat down, the sound of footsteps sounded outside.
Then, the figure of the Finance Director Chen Jiming hurried in, and he complained to Zhong Yi as soon as he came in.
"Mayor, I can't be the director of finance anymore!" Chen Jiming shouted with a bitter face, "I can't be the director of finance!"
"What's wrong with this? You, the Finance Director, are not good?" Zhong Yi said in surprise, "Why can't you be a good person?"
"The expenses are too big, and the expenses are too big!" Chen Jiming said in pain, "My mayor, do you know how much our city's fiscal expenditure last month?"
Zhong Yi slapped his forehead and said ashamed: "I really didn't pay attention to this."
"I knew you couldn't remember it." Chen Jiming shook his head and said, "Let me tell you, our city's fiscal expenditure last month was 52 million yuan, of which the general affairs expenditure was about 22 million yuan. The construction of Zhaobaoshan and Jinjishan Fortress cost more than 25 million yuan, and the construction of Zhangjia Construction Company was paid more than 5 million yuan."
Zhong Yi was dumbfounded after hearing this. He originally thought that after confiscating the Chen family, Qiu family and more than a dozen grain merchants, the city's finances could be relaxed for several months, but he never expected that he would be in just one month!
Chen Jiming also said: "It's a pity that Lao Cao sent gold, silver and jewelry worth more than 50 million yesterday. Otherwise, our city's finance would have to open the skylight from this month!"
Zhong Yi frowned and said, "How come there are so many?"
"Isn't it just such a big expense?" Chen Jiming calculated one by one, "Zhangjia Construction Company's project payment has been owed tens of millions. If it is owed, your father-in-law will probably go bankrupt and liquidate it! Only five million is only a small part of the project payment, and the big one has not paid yet."
Zhong Yi nodded gently, he knew this.
It was originally agreed that the Zhang family of the Zhang family needed to advance funds for the project in Yinjiang New District, but even if the advance funds were advanced, the municipal government could not pay any money. At present, the three-way and one-level project in Yinjiang New District has been fully launched. Zhangjia Construction Company has to invest tens of millions of dollars in the entire project every day. If the municipal finance department does not pay the money, it is really impossible to withstand it.
At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "If you don't talk about the fortress, why are there so much more general expenses?"
Zhong Yi clearly remembers that when he first arrived in Yinjiang, his monthly general affairs expenses were only more than 500,000 yuan!
Why did the monthly general affairs expenditure surge to more than 22 million yuan in less than half a year?
"Does the general affairs expenses be high? Actually, it's not much!" Chen Jiming clapped his hands, "Mayor, don't think about it. When you first came to Yinjiang, how many people were in the police station? Less than 500 people! But now? The Yinjiang Police Corps has surged to more than 5,000 people, a full tenfold increase!"
Zhong Yi frowned and said, "Even if it increases ten times, each person will pay for 40 yuan per month, and 5,000 people will only be only 200,000 yuan?"
"My mayor, this is just a salary expense." Chen Jiming said with a wry smile, "After recruiting so many policemen, you have to buy them outfits, right? Everyone always needs two winter clothes, right? There are so many police officers, you can't let them stay on the street, you have to build a house for them to guard. How much does it cost to build a house?"
"After this tinkering, more than two million will go out."
Zhong Yi said: "That's only two million, and there are still two million?"
"Just about to tell you." Chen Jiming clapped his hands, "Mayor, can the operation of this health school be temporarily suspended? The expenses are too large! With our current fiscal revenue, we really can't stand it!"
When Zhong Yi heard this, he patted his forehead hard, how could he forget this?
That's right. Starting a school is never easy, and health schools are even more difficult.
What's more, the health school that Zhong Yi wanted to run was a health school in name, but in fact it was completely built according to the specifications of a military medical university! That's why there is such a huge investment!
Not to mention anything else, the investment in medical devices is an astronomical figure!
There are also the salaries of lecturers and professors. The salaries of young lecturers are fine, but only 1200 yuan is dealt with. However, the salaries of medical professors at home and abroad, especially the two students sent by Professor Flory and Professor Dunn, are really not low, each person costs 500 pounds per month!
Five hundred pounds, that is a total of six thousand fiat coins!
Zhong Yi said at the moment: "Old Chen, I understand, but the preparations for the health school must not be stopped. Not only can it not be stopped, but it also needs to speed up the progress. It is best to complete the enrollment work next month!"
"Ah?" Chen Jiming said bitterly, "We need to speed up? We will complete the enrollment next month? This is the case, and the students in this health school are responsible for food and accommodation. This is another big expense. Mayor, I really can't do this job."
"Old Chen, don't worry, you don't have to worry about money." Zhong Yi said, "I will raise money as soon as possible."
Chen Jiming had no doubt about Zhong Yi's ability to raise money. Since he came to Yinjiang, how much has it made in just three months? Chen Jinmu and the gangsters' income was the same, the income from the search of the Chen family and the grain merchants was the same, and they made a lot of money in reselling grain.
These three transactions combined will have to go up by 100 million!
However, Mayor Zhong Da really spends money!
I made more than one billion yuan, but I spent all my money in less than three months, and I still owed a lot of debts!
Chen Jiming said at the moment: "Mayor, then you must promise me that you will give me at least 50 million by the fifteenth of next month!"
"Fifty million, right?" Zhong Yi patted his chest and said, "Old Chen, don't worry, I will guarantee that I will send 50 million to your office before March 15th!"
Chen Jiming said, "Mayor, this is what you said."
"I said!" Chen Yi sighed, "A real man will never go back on his word!"
"That's good, mayor, then I'll go back and get busy." Chen Jiming's intention was fulfilled and he immediately left hurriedly.
Chapter completed!
