Chapter 457 Chen Yanshi Arrives
Since Du became the director of the Public Security Department of Handong Province, the efforts to crack down on gangs and eliminate evil have increased dramatically. It is no longer the perfunctory approach of the Hou Liangping era.
In addition, the current police chiefs of Jinghai, Luteng, Lincheng, Jingzhou, Luzhou and other cities were all promoted by Qi Tongwei himself, and each of them is wholeheartedly committed to cracking down on organized crime.
Driven by the demonstration of these five cities, other cities have also gradually increased their efforts to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil. For a time, the atmosphere of cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil was extremely strong in Handong.
One by one, the evil forces were eradicated, including the protective umbrellas behind them.
The primary impact of this round of actions is the significant improvement in social security and business environment.
Take Jingzhou as an example. Investors who had fled due to the anti-corruption campaign initially came back one after another after seeing that Qi Tongwei would not deliberately expand the scope of the crackdown and that the social environment in Handong had improved significantly.
Take Guangming Peak as an example. The progress is very fast, with changes every day.
As the commander-in-chief of Guangming Peak, Sun Liancheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, deputy mayor, and secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee, has been keeping an eye on the progress of the project throughout the entire process because of his career success.
This day was like any other. After Sun Liancheng finished processing the documents at hand, he stretched his stiff body.
Just as he was about to ask his secretary Xiao Zhao to notify the driver to go to the Guangming Peak project site for inspection, there was a gentle knock on the office door.
"Come in!" Sun Liancheng replied casually.
The door slowly opened, and the person who walked in was actually an old acquaintance - Chen Yanshi, followed by Zheng Xipo.
Seeing the two of them, Sun Liancheng couldn't help but frown. He really didn't want to see Chen Yanshi.
This old gentleman is used to giving people a lecture, as if he is the only honest official and all the others are corrupt. It would be fine if he was truly honest, but he does things under the pretext of taking advantage of the public.
However, Sun Liancheng had been an official for many years after all, and he did not show any dissatisfaction with Chen Yanshi from the outside. On the contrary, he said enthusiastically: "Hey, Mr. Chen, why are you two here? Please take a seat, please take a seat!"
As he said this, he asked his secretary to pour tea for the two of them.
"Mr. Chen, what is the matter that brought you to see me today?" Sun Liancheng began to speculate on the other party's intention.
Chen Yanshi picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, moistened his throat, then put the cup down, looked at Sun Liancheng and said straight to the point: "Deputy Mayor Sun, the reason I came here this time is still about the Dafeng Factory."
Upon hearing this, Sun Liancheng could not help but frown slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked: "Dafeng Factory? Wasn't that matter already dealt with?
For this reason, hundreds of corrupt officials from Handong were imprisoned, including Liu Manyu from Shanshui Group, and even Deputy Secretary Qian and Director Hou. Don’t you still have any doubts about the outcome of the case?"
Chen Yanshi shook his head, sighed, and explained: "Deputy Mayor Sun, this matter was ultimately caused by Cai Chenggong, what does it have to do with the workers?
But because of his actions, everyone suffered huge losses.
Nowadays, Dafeng Factory has gone bankrupt and many workers have lost their jobs.
So they were thinking about forming a new partnership to build a new wind power plant, so they wanted the government to approve a piece of land for them. The area doesn’t need to be too large, about 20 mu of industrial land would be enough.”
Looking at Chen Yanshi's expression, it seems that the government should set aside 20 acres of industrial land for the new Dafeng factory.
Sun Liancheng really wanted to dig open Chen Yanshi's head to see how this weird idea came about. Zheng Xipo and others were just private individuals, so why did they ask for 20 acres of industrial land?
"Mr. Chen, do you know how much an acre of land costs in our city?" Sun Liancheng asked back.
"Then I don't know." Chen Yanshi said lightly.
"The price of one mu of land in our city is 600 million yuan, and the price of 1.2 mu is million yuan. What right do I have to grant them mu of industrial land?
If I did so, wouldn't I be watching the loss of state-owned assets? This is a crime. As an old prosecutor, you don't even understand this, right? "Sun Liancheng's face was full of anger, and his words were full of strong dissatisfaction and doubt.
However, Chen Yanshi seemed to turn a blind eye to Sun Liancheng's anger and responded calmly: "Don't we still have relevant policies?
I have learned that some industrial land only costs a few hundred thousand yuan, and within three years after the purchase, the financial department will return the full amount of the land price paid to the buyer.
Zheng Xipo and his group are now laid-off workers who are re-employed. Why can't we be flexible and just do it in one step, skipping the financial return step, and solve the problem, right?" His tone seemed to be understated, as if all this was a matter of course.
When Sun Liancheng heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Chen Yanshi for several seconds, his eyes revealing undisguised sarcasm.
Then, he sneered and retorted: "Those companies that can enjoy preferential policies are genuine high-tech enterprises!
They have strong innovation and technical strength, which can effectively fill certain blank areas in my country's market. It is for this reason that the government will give them special treatment of exempting land payment in order to promote national scientific and technological progress.
But what kind of high-tech industry is Dafeng Factory? Why can it enjoy the government's preferential land policy?"
"Xiao Sun, you..."
Chen Yanshi wanted to take advantage of his seniority, but Sun Liancheng interrupted him and said, "Mr. Chen, I can give you a clear answer now. It is impossible for me to grant the Dafeng Factory these 20 mu of industrial land.
If they really want to reopen the Dafeng Factory, they should directly apply to the land department and pay the land fee. It is impossible to get the government land for free without paying a penny. I cannot watch the loss of state-owned assets.
It’s getting late, and I have things to do, so I won’t keep you here any longer.”
"Deputy Mayor Sun, we don't have the money to buy land. Please think of a solution for us." Zheng Xipo had just been released from prison, and it was he who found Chen Yanshi this time.
“If you don’t have enough cash on hand, you can go to the bank and apply for a loan.
If the bank believes that you are not eligible to borrow such a large amount of money after evaluation, then you can consider renting a factory outside!
I just don't believe that Norda can't find a suitable factory in Handong for you?" Sun Liancheng said expressionlessly.
Zheng Xipo, who was standing nearby, thought to himself, "It is true that you can rent land outside, but the problem is that it costs a lot of money.
If we can successfully acquire 20 acres of industrial land, even if the New Dafeng Factory unfortunately closes down in the future, as long as we hold this piece of land, we can still make a lot of money. "
Of course, he couldn't say this openly, nor could he tell Chen Yanshi.
Before the two could speak, Sun Liancheng continued, "Here, I emphasize again, if you want to get something for nothing and take away the government's 20 acres of industrial land for free, don't even think about it, it's impossible.
Not to mention me, even if Secretary Qi himself took action, it would be impossible!
Therefore, you two should go to the bank to consult about relevant loan matters, or just rent a factory directly.
It's a sheer waste of time to keep pestering me like this. It doesn't make any practical sense at all.
I'm sorry, I have other important matters to deal with today, so I can't continue to entertain you two." After saying this, Sun Liancheng issued an order to expel the guests without hesitation, indicating that he was no longer willing to entangle with them.
In the previous life, relying on Sha Ruijin's power, Zheng Xipo and others obtained 20 acres of industrial land.
In this life, there is no Sha Ruijin. Without him, who ignored the law and forcibly gave Zheng Xipo and others 20 acres of industrial land for the reopening of the New Dafeng Factory, it would be a daydream for Zheng Xipo and others to get the industrial land for free.
"Xiao Zheng, if Sun Liancheng doesn't care, let's go find Li Dakang. If Li Dakang still doesn't care, we'll go find Qi Tongwei." Chen Yanshi felt that Sun Liancheng was ungrateful and didn't give him face, so he prepared to go find Li Dakang.
