Excellent little farmer

But I don’t know how the province considered it, and finally decided that he would be the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee. In Huo Chonghao’s view, this guy is at most a deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee. He can do some writing work, and even He is not qualified to be the secretary-general of the municipal party committee.

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

"No, it came quickly. ICBC's 25 million was just one step away from being credited to the other party's account. That would be tragic. What a blessing among misfortunes."

Guo Qihu shook his head and sighed: "These guys are very cunning. Except for his two personal staff and the financial manager, all the others were hired by him in the domestic talent market. They don't know the inside story at all. On the surface, they are all thinking the same thing." To act like a businessman.

Now, the money in his account was deposited into an account in Hong Kong, and then dispersed. Then it was transferred to some financial companies and then left the country. It may be difficult to actually recover the money. "After saying that, Guo Qihu shook his head again and again.

Everyone here was frightened for a while. The 25 million ICBC loan was guaranteed by the Development Zone Management Committee. If they were cheated, the management committee did not have independent finance, which meant that the municipal finance would have to fill this The total cost of the holes is more than 40 million, which is equivalent to one-eighth of the city's annual fiscal revenue. It can really kill people!

Huo Chonghao was also frightened. If Tang Yanlin hadn't reported it in time, everyone would still be in the dark and daydream about investing tens of millions in the second phase.

After pondering for a long time, Huo Chonghao frowned and asked, "Lao Guo, have you calmed down the workers and the construction site?"

"Both the management committee and the municipal bureau have taken over, and the workers' training fees and deposits are being refunded. However, the second construction is causing a lot of trouble. This factory has been under construction for several months and is almost completed. Who will pay for this? Building materials are also provided on credit, and the municipal party committee may also need to consider the problems this chain reaction may cause."

Guo Qihu pondered for a while and then said: "In addition, there is a lot of rumors in the market now. I'm afraid the city should also consider what measures to take to clarify the facts and prevent the rumors from getting too far. Now it is said outside that the city has been defrauded of hundreds of millions. , the city’s finances are about to go bankrupt, and the various claims are very appalling, and the municipal committee may need to take some measures to cheer up and eliminate these negative effects.”

Mayor Hu Shengda went to the Provincial Party Committee Party School for training a month ago. The province felt that the special training on accelerating development was effective, so it opened another training class for department-level cadres and required that all department-level cadres in the province undergo a rotation training. Hu Shengda was also the first Huo Chonghao is making unified arrangements for the city's work, and Bao Qingjiang is temporarily in charge of the city government's work.

"Lao Bao, you find a way to stabilize the second construction and the material suppliers. In addition, all the workers' funds raised will be returned, and the city's finance will take care of it first. This is a matter of overall stability."

Huo Chonghao gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Lao Guo, please urge the Provincial Public Security Department to do its best to help solve the case and recover the money. This loss is too debilitating for us at Huai'an, and we must recover it to the maximum extent possible. Well! Minister Lu, during this period, newspapers and TV stations should pay attention to the direction of public opinion and broadcast more exciting and positive content, especially more content on economic development."

Propaganda Minister Lu Rongping also nodded repeatedly.

"Everyone, each of you is in charge of the departments you are responsible for. When you return home, you must convey your spirit and ask them not to believe or spread rumors. At the same time, you must use a unified tone when publicizing to the outside world. Just say that the matter is still under investigation. I believe that the political and legal authorities will make a clear decision. Conclusion." When Huo Chonghao finished speaking, his fatigue was already evident.

When Tang Yanlin walked into Huo Chonghao's office, Huo Chonghao was relaxing in the office. It could be seen that this investment fraud incident had a huge impact on Huo Chonghao, especially because the loss was so huge, but he became a laughing stock.

It is conceivable that in the minds of the provincial leaders, the image of the Huai'an City team, especially his image as the squad leader, will be greatly reduced again. During this period of time, the Huai'an matter will inevitably be brought up in meetings in the province.

"Secretary-General, what on earth do you think Yi Chunxiu and Mei Yinghua are doing? How could they not notice such an obvious scam? They have been to Hong Kong and Dongguan for a long time, haven't they learned something useful? s things?"

Huo Chonghao opened his eyes and looked at the distance outside the window for a while, then he snorted heavily and said: "I was teased around like a fool, and I took it to any company to look at it. I thought it was someone else's." If you have an industry, you won’t know your last name when you get to Hong Kong. What on earth are we cadres thinking in our heads all day long?”

"Secretary Huo, Lao Yi and Mei Yinghua are responsible for their negligence, but there are also some objective reasons. First, these international scammers are indeed very professional and have all kinds of props. It can be said that they have been planning for a long time; secondly, Lao Yi has not had much contact with economic work before, and I am afraid that he is not very specialized in this aspect, and he lacks the necessary vigilance;

Third, our city has been a little rash on this matter. When the economic department of the city government was responsible for this, it did not conduct an in-depth and detailed investigation and study of the qualifications and basic situation of this Hong Kong businessman, which led to this kind of situation. matter. "

Tang Yanlin commented very objectively, especially the last point, which made Huo Chonghao very satisfied. In the early stage of this project, the municipal government was taking the lead in operating it. Although the municipal party committee was also very concerned, it did not directly intervene after all. It just happened to be during this period. Hu Shengda is just not here.

"Alas! It seems that our cadres have to choke on a lot of water if they want to learn to swim in the tide of market economy. It's just that the water this time is really too heavy."

Huo Chonghao sighed, as if he was remembering something again and said: "By the way, Secretary-General, I haven't had time to ask you yet, why do you suddenly feel that there is a problem here?"

Tang Yanlin had also known for a long time that Huo Chonghao would definitely think of this issue because of his sophistication, so she was already prepared and said: "Du Li of the Municipal Procuratorate was promoted to deputy secretary of the party group, and he invited me and Ye Qingquan to a treat.

During the dinner, I accidentally mentioned that this project has the largest investment scale in the city. Ye Qingquan said that the toy industry has very high requirements for transportation and logistics, especially for external exports. It pays special attention to transportation issues. I feel that Hong Kong businessmen are here. It is difficult to recover the cost of such a huge investment, so I was a little suspicious at the time. Later, when the issue of delayed land payment and financing loans came up, Du Li and I felt that there might be some problems, so I reported it to you. "

Huo Chonghao was relieved when Tang Yanlin said this. He was puzzled as to how Tang Yanlin had such a keen insight into this project.

Ye Qingquan and Du Li, one is a master of economics and the other is a master of the procuratorate, so they are naturally sensitive to this aspect.

Although Du Li, Ye Qingquan and Tang Yanlin were not from the same place, they all came from Yuzhou. The three of them had always had a good relationship. Huo Chonghao also knew that Du Li was the deputy secretary of the party group of the Municipal Procuratorate, and Tang Yanlin was among them. Tang Yanlin also specifically talked to Huo Chonghao about this.

"If our cadres can be more vigilant in their economic work, we can avoid this kind of thing from happening to a large extent."

Huo Chonghao sighed and said: "Such a big thing has happened, which is almost fatal to our image in Huai'an. Now in the minds of the people, our government cadres are just a bunch of losers and losers. In the minds of the provincial leaders, the same is true." It plummeted."

Tang Yanlin also felt that Huo Chonghao was really unlucky. Things happened one after another, especially the Huai'an project, which was the first foreign-invested project since the city was founded, and was even written about in the "Jiangzhou Daily". .

But now, it has turned out to be a scam. The fools in the scam are the leaders of Huai'an City. The masses laughed and cursed, but now the leaders are very concerned about public opinion. With such a huge contrast, it is difficult to say whether the leaders in the province will It will have opinions on the people of Huai'an.

"Secretary Huo, I think it won't work to keep doing this. We still have to think of some ways to reverse the current unfavorable image in the city." Tang Yanlin suggested.

"Well! Do you have any good ideas?" Huo Chonghao nodded slightly.

"Isn't the Chinese herbal medicine base over at Caoji almost completed? A ceremony can be held. In addition, the first phase of the Penglai Temple and Zhuanshan tourist attractions over at the mausoleum is also about to be completed and officially opened to the public. This can be regarded as It is the largest investment we have introduced in Huai'an, and it is an investment in the tourism industry. It has also significantly boosted the local economy.

Therefore, you can consider inviting some provincial leaders to attend the completion and opening ceremony. I heard from Xiaoye that the investors are planning to hold a large-scale artistic evening to build momentum for the tourist attraction, and are planning to invite some famous domestic, Hong Kong and Taiwan literary stars to come. To help out, if this matter can be finalized and the city promotes it properly, it may be able to divert the public's attention. "

"Oh?"

Huo Chonghao was also overjoyed. He had been troubled by this issue. The people of Huai'an had been talking about this topic for the past few days, and they seemed to want to get to the bottom of it. They were all waiting for the results of the investigation to continue like this. That’s not the answer either.
