Feng Yuxing was at the gate of the compound. After talking to the members of the Chunjiang County team for a few words, he asked them to return to their respective posts. He then went to the office of Zhu Hao, the county party secretary, to chat with Zhu Hao and Wang Mingquan.

In Zhu Hao's office, Zhu Hao and Wang Ming both expressed their gratitude to Feng Yuxing. After all, without Feng Yuxing, the new mayor, to protect them, they would now be sitting on the bench.

"Mayor! We are truly connected. Whenever I have trouble, you appear to save me and clean up the mess for me. You are truly my savior!"

Zhu Hao said with a sigh.

"There's no need to express my gratitude. I just want to know one thing: why is Deputy Mayor Yi Jiarong targeting you two so much? He seems determined not to give up until he gets you both taken down!"

Feng Yuxing said in confusion.

After hearing what Feng Yuxing said, Zhu Hao looked at Wang Mingquan with a wry smile and said, "Comrade Mingquan, you should talk to the mayor!"

Feng Yuxing took out cigarettes and gave them to the two people, lit one himself, and looked at Wang Mingquan.

County Magistrate Wang Mingquan also had a miserable look on his face. He took a sip of tea, lit a cigarette, and slowly introduced the situation in Chunjiang County:

Before being transferred to Zhouxi City as deputy mayor, Yi Guyong served in Chunjiang County for eight years, during which he was promoted from county magistrate to county party secretary.

During this process, Yi Gurong demonstrated outstanding leadership and profound insight into economic development.

During his tenure, Chunjiang County achieved remarkable results in many economic indicators;

In particular, the figures shown in the annual GDP report demonstrate the strong growth of the county's economy and the government's successful efforts in promoting regional economic prosperity.

Of course, this is an illusion.

Because he made the county government owe 4 billion in debt, some of which belonged to banks and some to various group companies. The Chunjiang County Government had to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall!

Chunjiang County's tax revenue is still good, but it cannot withstand the more than 4 billion yuan of "pre-consumption".

This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that once the municipal government allocates funds to Chunjiang County, such as special funds for repairing water conservancy projects, supporting farmers in townships and other livelihood projects;

This is not the most serious problem.

What is most speechless is that once the municipal government allocates special funds to Chunjiang County, especially those for repairing water conservancy projects and supporting rural agricultural development;

However, after these funds were in place, some people designated the Chunjiang County Government to carry out some government projects, and they began to plan and designate those government projects for us.

Some people will talk about widening the streets, as if that is the only way to make them look grand; or they will demand rebuilding the theater, claiming that this will improve its quality and make it look more grand;

Or perhaps they want to add modern facilities to sports fields, as if this is what a modern city needs. All these reasons are engineering projects they impose on us.

Let Chunjiang County change the use of special funds.

Just build it, it will increase some economic indicators anyway, but problems arise after construction begins;

If the amount of money received is 200 million, then the project will be 400 million, and it will be built by designated companies. In this way, not only will the old debt not be repaid, but new debt will be accumulated.

Wang Mingquan and Zhu Hao decided that this wasn't going to work, so they stopped listening to someone else's instructions and followed their own ideas. However, this meant the city council had little funding to allocate.

Chunjiang County can only do what it can according to its tax revenue, but old debts still need to be repaid, and the preferential policies for attracting investment cannot keep up;

We are also unable to help some businesses that are suddenly in trouble, and debtors come to collect debts every day.

Therefore, these poor days are getting worse day by day, and economic targets cannot be achieved. This gives people an excuse.

"Which companies does Comrade Gu Rong usually designate to contract for some special funds in Chunjiang County?" Feng Yuxing asked casually.

"Usually there are two companies, Zhouxi Mingjian and Yuanyuan Greening. Both companies have branches in Chunjiang!" Wang Mingquan blurted out without thinking at all.

"Sure enough, it's these two companies again, supplying building materials. No doubt, it must be Fengyun Building Materials!" Feng Yuxing thought to himself.

"Are the companies that owe money these two companies?" Feng Yuxing looked at Wang Mingquan and said with a smile.

"Mayor, you guessed it! You're absolutely right. Of the four billion yuan owed by the Chunjiang County government, ninety percent is owed by these two companies!"

Wang Mingquan said awkwardly.

"How long did it take you to pay it back, and how much do you owe now?" Feng Yuxing asked indifferently.

“There are still more than three years left, and there are still nearly 2 billion yuan, which are basically the debts of these two companies;

Just yesterday, they went to the county government and started making a scene, demanding we pay them back for their project money as soon as possible. They said if we didn't pay them back within a week, they would go to the county government, Zhouxi City, and even the provincial government with banners demanding they pay us back!

When Wang Mingquan said this, his tone was awkward and a little sad.

"According to the most conservative estimate, the Chunjiang County government owes 4 billion in debt. Therefore, the construction of Chunjiang County will cost at least 8 billion. Is this correct?"

Feng and Xing smiled.

"Your county's annual GDP is only 15 billion yuan, and its fiscal revenue is only 1 billion yuan at most. It's really difficult for you!"

"Mayor, you're absolutely right. Some debts are repaid with grants. However, those grants are given directly to those two companies, not through the county treasury account!"

Wang Mingquan told the truth.

"So, the bidding in Chunjiang County can only go through the process. Is the cost fair and reasonable?" Feng Yuhang spoke casually, but this was what he was most concerned about.

"Mayor, we in Chunjiang County can't even decide on the bidding process. Tell me, can we decide on the cost?"

Zhu Hao interrupted and said with an awkward smile.

"How about this! For the money you currently owe these two companies, have them come directly to me at the Zhouxi Municipal Government. I'll take the job for you. You'll handle the rest of the project debts on your own!"

Feng Yuxing smiled and said,

"If they want to put up banners at the city hall, don't stop them. If necessary, even 'encourage' them to go!"

Although Zhu Hao and Wang Mingquan found Feng Yuxing's move incredible, they were still happy.

After all, with Mayor Feng Yuxing to protect them, maybe the city government will directly pay off their debts, and they will feel relieved.

"Mayor, that's great! It's not pleasant to have people come to your house every day to collect debts. Besides, they're all at the god-level, so it's hard to deal with them!"

Zhu Hao said happily.

He didn't know what Feng and Xing were doing, and he couldn't control it now, but he knew that the only way was to actively cooperate.
