Chapter 296 Haibei Storm (7)
Minister Lin of the United Front Work Department had previously approached him, hoping he could help connect Haizhou Province's enterprises with Mithril International Minerals. Mithril International would set up one or more shell companies as intermediaries, and Haizhou would naturally need to establish a superficially private enterprise as a recipient.
Otherwise, a company established in the name of the Haizhou government would inevitably attract the attention of the United States.
This company would then resell the minerals it had received to local businesses, a business that was guaranteed to make a profit. They didn't even need to manage the details; they just needed to put their name on the business and receive a steady stream of dividends every year.
As for how many years it can be obtained, it depends on the development of the international situation.

The next day, Jiang Ningyue was discussing the final news to be broadcast on the live broadcast of "Questioning Haizhou" with the program team, editors and reporters.
Qing Feng called and said, "We've found evidence against Ning Ping'an. Are you coming over now?"
"Okay, wait for me."
Jiang Ningyue stood up and looked at Director Chen and said, "Director Chen, please preside over this meeting. I have something to do at the Provincial Party Committee."
"Okay." Director Chen nodded.
Jiang Ningyue hurried downstairs and drove to the coffee shop.
In the storage room on the second floor of the coffee shop, Qing Feng took out another external hard drive. "This contains the information I found about Ning Ping'an. Ning Ping'an is quite interesting. He is well-known to everyone, yet he is very well-hidden."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Ningyue asked curiously.
"This guy usually pretends to be very honest and often rides a bicycle to and from get off work. He also has a program on Haibei City Traffic Radio, which he appears on almost every month to listen to the public's concerns and help solve traffic problems."
Qing Feng introduced, "But secretly, this person is Mr. Ning from Haibei City. From what I've discovered, Ning Ping'an has embezzled at least 1 billion yuan. He also has at least a dozen mistresses, half of whom are in the public security system, and the other half are university students. In Haibei City, all business related to the public security system has been contracted out to companies actually controlled by him and his family. Of course, he's an extremely skilled anti-detection person. The legal representatives of these companies appear to have no connection to him."
"According to my investigation, his relatives and lovers control over 70 companies. And there are over 40 companies that have close ties with him."
"At the same time, he used the pretext of cracking down on organized crime to threaten and extort bribes from several local companies, even taking the opportunity to demand equity. He also had conflicts of interest with several large lending companies in Haibei City. Simply put, he acted as a protective umbrella for criminal gangs."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, inserted the hard drive into the laptop, and listened to Qingfeng's narration while flipping through it.
Qing Feng is indeed a professional agent. This hard drive contains not only accurate documents and information, but also photos of Ning Ping'an entering and leaving high-end places and luxurious villas.
"One more thing."
Qing Feng said, "Some of the documents in here were provided by a man named 'Guo Qing,' who is the legal representative of three of Ning Ping'an's companies. If the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection wants to find a breakthrough, they can start with this man. He also provided a number of names and information."
Jiang Ningyue was puzzled. "Why is this guy willing to reveal these things?"
"I don't know about that."
Qing Feng smiled and said, "But I heard that this Master Ning is quite a gangster. He beats and scolds his subordinates at will and doesn't give them face at all. Maybe this is one of the reasons."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, "Okay, I'm leaving."
Carrying a laptop and a solid-state drive, Jiang Ningyue drove to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. When she arrived at the Organization Department, Qiao Jin, Wang Song, and Cheng Xu were already in the conference room.
Jiang Ningyue looked at Qiao Jin and asked, "Did you bring the solid-state drive?"
"I brought it."
Qiao Jin handed Jiang Ningyue a solid-state drive. Jiang Ningyue copied the data and said, "Sister Qiao, go report this to Secretary Ding. I'll report this to Minister Chunyan."
"OK."
The two of them split up, and Jiang Ningyue arrived at Li Chunyan's office. After waiting for about ten minutes for someone to come out, Jiang Ningyue pushed the door open and went in. Li Chunyan was on the phone again.
Li Chunyan hung up the phone after a few words, looked at Jiang Ningyue and said with a smile: "It must be something bad since you came."
"Yes." Jiang Ningyue smiled, "It's about the illegal and disciplinary violations of Ning Ping'an, the deputy mayor of Haibei City and the director of the Public Security Bureau."
Jiang Ningyue took out her notebook. Li Chunyan looked at the information and documents on it and took out her phone. "Secretary Heping, do you have a minute now? I'd like to report to you about the corruption allegations against officials in Haibei City that we received during our interviews for the "Questioning Government" program. Okay, let's go over there now."
Li Chunyan stood up, and Jiang Ningyue quickly picked up her laptop and followed. "Sister, don't you think it's inappropriate for us to go to Secretary Heping every few days to report problems?"
"You know that too." Li Chunyan smiled and looked at Jiang Ningyue. "But it doesn't matter. After all, your column was chosen by Secretary Heping. It makes sense to report any findings to him immediately. By the way, how about Secretary Ding?"
"I asked Qiao Jin to report to him."
"Oh." Li Chunyan nodded, "That's fine."
The two of them arrived at the door of Zhao Heping's office. Zhao Heping hadn't answered yet. After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhao Heping finally came in. Entering Zhao Heping's office, Jiang Ningyue skillfully took out her laptop and flipped through the various evidence on it.
Ning Ping'an is the deputy mayor of Haibei City. As a provincial official, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection can naturally arrest people personally.
"Haibei City has some serious problems."
Zhao Heping said slowly, "We just exposed Song Jin, and now we've dug up Ning Ping'an. Both of them have been local officials for many years, even more than ten years."
Li Chunyan laughed and said, "Ning Ping'an is indeed very deceptive. I heard about him a long time ago, and he has a good reputation within the Haizhou Public Security System. I didn't expect him to be so bold."
"Don't judge a book by its cover."
Zhao Heping commented and looked at Jiang Ningyue, "Xiao Jiang, have you shown this document to Secretary Ding of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?"
Jiang Ningyue quickly replied, "I sent it to Secretary Ding."
"Um."
Zhao Heping nodded and turned to look at Li Chunyan, "Minister Chunyan, let's hold a small meeting this afternoon to fully discuss this issue."
"Okay." Li Chunyan naturally had no objection.
The so-called small meeting is a meeting composed of the five-member Standing Committee: the provincial party secretary, the provincial governor, the provincial party deputy secretary, the provincial disciplinary inspection commission secretary, and the provincial party committee organization department minister.
The handling of a deputy mayor and public security bureau chief in Haibei City alone wouldn't warrant a small meeting of the provincial party committee standing committee. The signal revealed by this small meeting might be that Haibei Municipal Party Committee Secretary Tu Zheng's position is unstable.
With so many corrupt team members, how can Tu Zheng, as the top leader, be honest and upright?
Isn't this unlikely?
Moreover, it's not just corruption; corruption has caused even more problems. Could it be that even the top leader was unaware of this?
If you know about it, you are in cahoots with it.
If you are not aware, it means you lack ability.
In this case, Tu Zheng cannot escape blame, regardless of whether he knew it or not.
If Tu Zhengdu was transferred away, it would mean that Cai Hanwen would lose all his influence in Haibei City.
Therefore, it is unknown whether Cai Hanwen will do his best to protect Tu Zheng.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Jiang Ningyue.
