Chapter 387: Angry at Chen Yanshi
"No one is above the law!"
Qi Tongwei glanced at everyone and said in a loud voice: "Since Wang Wenge and Zheng Xipo have violated the law, they must accept legal sanctions. There is absolutely no room for negotiation!"
The scene fell into a brief silence, with only Qi Tongwei's firm and powerful voice echoing in the air.
After a while, someone broke the silence and said, "Leader, let's put aside the matter of Wang Wenge and Zheng Xipo for now and talk about the Dafeng Factory."
Only Zheng Xipo's son is still concerned about this matter. Apart from him, other shareholders do not care whether the two people go to jail. They just want to know whether their demands can be met.
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed to turn the topic back to Dafeng Factory.
He cleared his throat and continued, “Back to Dafeng Factory, I will continue to answer your next two questions.
You mentioned that you hope the Guangming District Government can grant you a piece of industrial land so that you can restart the production operations of the Dafeng Factory.
What I want to ask is whether this land is purchased free of charge or at market price.”
“Of course it’s free, where do the workers get the money to buy industrial land?
The government allocated land to them, which was also a disguised way to solve employment problems and increase tax revenues. "Chen Yanshi answered for the workers on the side.
When these words came out, the reporters nearby looked at each other in bewilderment.
There is such a good thing. Can I also gather a group of people to ask the government for land?
Qi Tongwei glanced at Chen Yanshi several times. He really didn't know what he was thinking. Was he really ignorant or just pretending to be ignorant?
"Free of charge? I can answer your question right now. This is absolutely impossible.
In principle, Dafeng Factory is an enterprise. If an enterprise goes bankrupt due to poor management, bankruptcy procedures should be initiated in accordance with the Enterprise Law.
If you want to start over, the government will certainly support you.
We can give you some preferential policies in terms of taxation and policies, but it is absolutely impossible for the government to provide industrial land for free. First of all, it is not acceptable to me!"
Qi Tongwei turned his gaze to Chen Yanshi and said, "Comrade Chen Yanshi, you were the executive deputy chief prosecutor of Handong Province before you retired. Logically, you shouldn't be so ignorant.
The land in Guangming District belongs to the state or collective ownership. No one has the right to grant the land to other people for free use without authorization. Otherwise, it will cause the loss of state-owned assets and collude with outsiders to embezzle state-owned assets.
Furthermore, the 400,000 people in Guangming District would not agree.
Today, Dafeng Factory went bankrupt and applied for free industrial land from the government. Tomorrow, Zhang San and Li Si can also use this as an excuse to apply for free land from Guangming District. I really don't understand what your logic is.
Dafeng Factory went bankrupt, and the interests of you shareholders have been damaged, so you want to pass the losses on to the government.
If all companies follow your example, the government might as well do nothing and just clean up the mess for the companies every day.
There is no such thing in the world!
If you really don't want the Dafeng Factory to become history, you can seek a bank loan or financing from an investment company, and then apply to Guangming District to purchase industrial land at market prices.
For free, this is absolutely impossible!
Do you have any doubts about this issue? "
"I thought these were workers, but they turned out to be shareholders," a reporter whispered.
"I heard that the Dafeng Factory was auctioned off by the court for 6.4 million yuan because of its unpaid debts." Another reporter followed up.
"So these people are very rich?" said a young reporter.
"In short, they are richer than us. This group of people are from the state-owned enterprises back then. After the restructuring, they obtained company shares and are all bosses." The reporter now saw clearly that he had been deceived this time.
"The bank won't lend us money, and investment companies won't invest in us. We can only turn to the government. Isn't the government there to serve the people?" a shareholder said loudly.
“You are changing the concept. If everyone has the same idea as you, then we should just do nothing and let the government serve us directly.
I think I have answered this question very clearly. I will answer it one last time.
Providing you with industrial land for free? Don’t even think about it. It’s impossible!
If you want to obtain industrial land, there is only one way to go, and that is to buy it with your own money." Qi Tongwei said firmly.
He is not Sha Ruijin. For the sake of his uncle, he gave away state-owned assets and finally dismissed Sun Liancheng who played by the rules. It was really ridiculous.
After saying this, Qi Tongwei looked at the group of people in front of him with a firm gaze, not giving them any chance to refute.
Then he continued, “Let’s go back to the first question.
The court had already given its verdict the day before yesterday regarding the loan contract signed by Cai Chenggong.
As the company's controlling shareholder and legal representative, Cai Chenggong borrowed money on behalf of the company, and all the borrowed funds were invested in the company's operations and development.
Therefore, this loan is undoubtedly the debt borne by Dafengchang Group.
As shareholders of the company, everyone here is naturally also a joint debtor.
If you are dissatisfied with the court's judgment or are unwilling to accept it, you can file an appeal with the Supreme People's Court.
Although I am the provincial party secretary, I have no right to interfere in the operation of the judiciary.
I personally have no power to interfere with the court’s decision.”
"You are protecting each other as officials and colluding with businessmen. We don't accept this. Why should we repay Cai Chenggong's loan?" someone said excitedly.
"Did you distribute the money that Cai Chenggong earned as dividends?" asked Secretary Liu Zhaojun.
"Of course we do. We are shareholders. Isn't it normal to distribute dividends?" the man replied.
“So you guys recognize the dividends but not the loans.
There is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business. You and Cai Chenggong are doing business together. You share the profits and you also share the losses.
I think this is understandable, right? Why do you keep causing troubles? Who is backing you up?" Liu Zhaojun asked.
"How can you talk like that, young man? What do you mean by having someone backing you up? Besides, Cai Chenggong is a profiteer. Why should the workers pay back his loans?" Chen Yanshi retorted.
"Old man, you are wrong to say that.
When dividing the money, he didn't call him a profiteer, and took every penny he deserved, but when it came time to pay it back, he denied it, so he became a profiteer?" A reporter nearby couldn't stand it anymore.
Qi Tongwei glanced at everyone and made his final summary speech, saying, "Regarding the questions raised by the shareholders of Dafeng Factory today, I will give one last answer.
It is impossible to release Wang Wenge and Zheng Xipo or for the government to allocate industrial land for free.
I will not comment on whether you, the shareholders, should repay the loan that Cai Chenggong took out for Dafeng Factory.
If you think the judgment of the Handong High People's Court is unfair, you can appeal to the Supreme People's Court. Everything is subject to the law."
Qi Tongwei took a breath and continued, "You marched in the streets today, paralyzing public transportation, which to a certain extent constitutes disturbing public order.
Considering that this is the first time, I will not deal with it, but there will definitely not be a next time.
You can reasonably express your demands, but you must not do so at the expense of disrupting the public order of your workplace or society. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can resolve it through the law.”
After saying that, Qi Tongwei announced the end of the reception and the security department sent these people back.
After that, Qi Tongwei walked towards Chen Yanshi and whispered to him: "Comrade Chen Yanshi, I hope you cherish your identity as a party member, strictly abide by the law, and do not break the law knowingly.
Don’t let that day bring about the expulsion from the party, that would be ugly.”
Chen Yanshi looked at Qi Tongwei who was leaving, his face changing from gloomy to happy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
