Peak of Power: Red Bureaucracy 2

Special-grade fighter pilot Feng Yuxing encountered an accident during a mission to drive away enemies, forcing this 'aerial warrior' to transfer to local government work.

During a touri...

Chapter 475: 4 Billion

This will be an action that tests the mayor's wisdom and determination, and it may also become a landmark case that will be used as a reference for other similar situations.

The saying "the dignity of the law shall not be violated" was fully reflected in this fair ruling.

In other words, do you dare to wield a broadsword and strike down these two leading companies in Zhouxi City, whose background is so powerful that it is intimidating, and deal with them severely?

This is a focus, a "trump card" point that everyone is waiting for.

Generally speaking, even the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee is not so anticipated. Unexpectedly, the Standing Committee of the Zhouxi Municipal Party Committee is so worth looking forward to.

The next day, at 9 a.m., the much-anticipated Zhouxi Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting was held on time.

Huan Tongmin has no other special abilities, but his ability to pass the buck has reached another level, the pinnacle.

He looked at the Standing Committee members, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said slowly:

"Comrades, good morning! This is the first Standing Committee meeting of our Municipal Party Committee after the New Year. I wish you all to become stronger and better every year!

This Standing Committee meeting was convened at the request of Mayor Feng Yuxing, and the mayor also said that this Standing Committee meeting had to be held;

The municipal government must deal with the two companies, Yuanyuan Green and Zhouximing Construction, in a timely manner and must not let the people down;

Because the people are very much looking forward to the audit results of these two companies, and they must be given an explanation.

Although this is a matter for the municipal government, Mayor Feng Yuxing feels that the matter is of great importance;

Oh, this, this... This requires fairness, transparency, discussion, and a feasible solution!

Comrade Yuxing is not only the mayor, he is also the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and has the power to make suggestions;

Or they could force a Standing Committee meeting to discuss it. I thought about it and it made sense, so I agreed!"

The words of the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin are full of strangeness. On the left, there is a mayor's style and behavior requirements, and on the right, there is a mayor's style and behavior saying this;

The main point is that this matter has nothing to do with him, and it was Mayor Feng Yuxing who forced him to convene this Standing Committee meeting.

Once a person starts to act like a rogue, he is invincible.

Huan Tongmin is now not only blaming others, but also acting like a hooligan and a scoundrel.

Feng Yuxing saw Huan Tongmin's behavior, but he didn't mind. After all, his goal was not the result of the extraordinary committee.

The convening of the Standing Committee was just a way for him to create momentum and spread the word.

Just because he doesn't mind doesn't mean others don't mind.

At this moment, everyone focused their attention on Mayor Feng Yuxing, and their gazes seemed to have a special meaning.

A thought welled up in their minds: "When did this mayor and the municipal party secretary stop being so particular about trivial matters and become harmonious?"

You know, when Feng Yuxing took office, he and the municipal party secretary Huan Tongmin were extremely incompatible.

Huan Tongmin ignored everyone's different opinions and continued to move forward with his pace of presiding over the Standing Committee.

He continued:

"Next, please invite Comrade Cheng Yi to give a report on the audit of Yuanyuan Greening and Zhouxi Construction!"

After completing this opening, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea leisurely.

According to his operation of shifting the blame, he basically has nothing to do with the rest;

At most, when no one stood up to discuss, he would call out names one by one, and finally, he would push for a vote and announce the adjournment of the meeting.

Executive Vice Mayor Cheng Yi looked up and said:

"Secretary, Mayor, and everyone, I will now, on behalf of the two audit teams, present a report on the audits of Zhouxi Ming Construction and Yuanyuan Greening..."

"...these two companies used bid rigging and intimidation to deter bidders, allowing their bids, which were two to three times higher than those of their competitors, to win all the bids, in order to siphon off government project funds.

In just five years, the total amount of funds siphoned off reached 2 billion yuan. . . .

"...This is only based on the inflated construction costs. Furthermore, during the construction process, they also cut corners, causing the government immeasurable losses, which can be measured in monetary terms.

In addition, there is the loss of government credit, and some are harshly withholding project workers’ wages;

For some smaller material suppliers, they even resorted to force and extortion, that is, they simply refused to pay for the materials.

Their tactics include delaying and refusing to deliver, and some resort to violence to expel and intimidate those who are demanding payment for materials. . . ”

"...if we add to that the hidden behind-the-scenes shoddy work and exploitation of the rights of construction workers;

and unethical practices such as fraudulent tactics against material suppliers, estimated in actual amounts;

The two companies’ illegal revenue could reach a staggering 4 billion RMB. . . . ”

"Behind such a huge figure is the loss of the hard work of countless workers and the hard-earned money of material suppliers. This not only damages their interests, but also seriously undermines the credibility of the entire construction industry..."

"Fengyun Building Materials Company was involved in tax evasion, estimated to be over 200 million..."

Fengyun Building Materials Company was audited jointly by Cheng Yi, who was later asked by Mayor Feng Yuxing to do the audit.

Executive Vice Mayor Cheng Yi reported the relevant situation in detail to all members of the conference room with a serious expression.

When he finally finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence, as if a heavy pressure condensed in the air.

Everyone's eyes widened, stunned; it was as if they were hit by a sudden and huge piece of information.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely quiet.

The Standing Committee members were well aware that the problems of these three companies had existed for a long time, but they had never received the attention they deserved, but they had not imagined they were so serious.

They originally thought that even the secretary, the previous mayor, and Deputy Mayor Yi Gurong seemed to be indifferent to such situations, and they really believed that in their eyes, these problems were just trivial matters.

Or perhaps they were saying things implicitly and implicitly, saying they were not allowed to investigate. The key point was that Deputy Governor Ling Butong had also hinted that these three companies could not be investigated, so they only knew it in their hearts.

But what no one expected was that the amount of money involved was so large and the scope was so wide.

However, Cheng Yi's report made everyone realize that perhaps some things were far beyond their understanding. No wonder Mayor Feng Yuxing attached so much importance to it and insisted on convening a Standing Committee meeting to discuss it.

Huan Tongmin looked at the scene, coughed twice, and said:

"This is a serious issue. Let's discuss it! Should we penalize these three companies? What kind of penalties should we impose? How severe should they be?"

After he finished speaking, he began to study the molecular structure of tea.

Huan Tongmin's words, aside from being able to advance the Standing Committee, were nothing more than nonsense. At this moment, he was still arguing about whether to impose punishment, earning everyone's contempt.
