Fang Zhicheng said: "Lack of money is not a terrible thing. What is terrible is that even if you have money, it is difficult to solve the problem."

Shao Qingbo understood, knowing that Fang Zhicheng had made up his mind, and there must be someone behind the scenes directing him, but he and Fang Zhicheng were in a honeymoon period, so Fang Zhicheng would not doubt him. Although Cao Yao's situation was complicated now, the faction was still very clear. Apart from himself, there were probably not many people who wanted to dig a hole for Fang Zhicheng.

Now that they have formed an alliance, Shao Qingbo knows his current position and what he should do, and said, "I'll contact them now."

Seeing Fang Zhicheng finish the call, Cao Jianyuan reported with an embarrassed look: "Mayor Fang, we have arranged for someone to negotiate. The other party is very tough. If you don't give them pensions, they will not allow the demolition work to start. You also know how heavy the task is now. Even an hour's delay may delay the construction period."

The person standing next to Cao Jianyuan should be the community party committee secretary. He couldn't get a word in and looked very unhappy. He originally thought that the demolition and reconstruction of the old city should be a lucrative job, but he didn't expect it to cause so much trouble. If he didn't handle it properly, he would lose his job.

"Mayor Fang, do you want me to call for some support from Commander Chen?" Tu Chuanbin asked in a deep voice. He is now the person in charge of the old city reconstruction project and the acting mayor of Beigang District. He had just taken office and encountered such a thing not long ago, and he was a little helpless.

Compared with the army, the officialdom is more complicated. Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a war, why should we transfer people? The people on the other side are the common people, our parents who provide us with food and clothing."

Fang Zhicheng and Wang Guoyue said that they were determined not to withdraw the public security personnel. There was a reason for this. They were worried that someone was manipulating the situation behind the scenes. Once the police withdrew, chaos would easily occur. However, calling for military support would cross the line and could easily cause an uproar if hyped up by someone with ulterior motives. Fang Zhicheng knew that someone was waiting for him to make a mistake.

When Tu Chuanbin saw a hint of sarcasm in Cao Jianyuan's eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously, and he was furious.

Fang Zhicheng coughed and said, "Old Tu, you must ensure a safe distance between the retired employees and the demolition team. There will be a turning point soon."

Seeing Fang Zhicheng's confident words, Cao Jianyuan did not dare to agree in his heart. Judging from today's momentum, it would be difficult to end it in a short time. As time went on, the news would spread. Once the blockade was lifted, it would quickly spread through various channels. By then, the Caoyao Old Town Project would become a laughing stock, and Tu Chuanbin, as the project leader, would probably be in big trouble.

Although Cao Jianyuan is the district party secretary, he is not the person in charge of the project after all, so he can clear himself of any responsibility.

Fang Zhicheng stood in the distance and waited for a while. Three or five people squeezed in from the crowd. Cao Jianyuan squinted and saw that the municipal government's secretary general Tu Daofeng was coming with some people. The weather was hot and Tu Daofeng was sweating profusely. His short-sleeved shirt was wet in large areas.

"Mayor Fang, I've invited Mr. Cai here." Tu Daofeng wiped his sweat and pointed at someone behind him.

Fang Zhicheng walked over, smiled and shook hands with Cai Xingpei, saying, "Hello, Mr. Cai, we meet again."

Cai Xingpei smiled awkwardly and said, "I apologize for any offense I caused you last time!"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "Someone deliberately set up a trap that time, and we were all involved. Now that the truth is out, let it disappear."

Cai Xingpei's forehead was covered with sweat. This time he met Fang Zhicheng differently from the last time. His change of mentality made him feel half a head shorter. During this period, Cai Xingpei had been worried that he would be harassed in the old city project because he had offended Fang Zhicheng.

Cai Xingpei said with emotion: "Mayor Fang is really open-minded. Secretary-General Tu has already made it clear to me on the road. I am willing to bear the pensions of these retired employees!"

Cao Jianyuan showed surprise in his eyes and reminded: "The total amount is about 50 million!"

Cai Xingpei glanced at Fang Zhicheng secretly, thinking to himself, if he could get the old city project with 50 million, what would that matter

Cai Xingpei recently learned about Fang Zhicheng and knew that he was a third-generation red cadre. Such people have a large family behind them and are not short of money. What matters most is reputation and political achievements.

Fang Zhicheng frowned, looking embarrassed, and said, "Director Cai, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to bear this expense."

Cai Xingpei said with great interest: "This money can be viewed as a temporary loan from us to Caoyao Heavy Industry Group."

"Borrow?" Cao Jianyuan's expression became more complicated. Cai Xingpei had no relationship with Caoyao Heavy Industry Group, so why should he borrow money? In fact, to put it bluntly, Cai Xingpei just wanted to give away the 50 million for free.

Fang Zhicheng and Tu Chuanbin said, "District Chief Tu, what do you think?"

Tu Chuanbin nodded and said, "That's fine too! According to the demolition budget, if the Caoyao Group dormitory on Caogongxiang Road is demolished, Caoyao Heavy Industry Group will be given about 200 million yuan. Of this money, 100 million yuan will be used as compensation for the residents of the family building, and 100 million yuan will be used as income for Caoyao Heavy Industry Group. If Mr. Cai is willing to pay 50 million yuan first, then 50 million yuan of the 100 million yuan can be transferred to Mr. Cai by the government at that time."

Cai Xingpei quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't worry!" As if he regarded money as dirt!

Fang Zhicheng's expression remained solemn as he said, "This might be a solution!"

Tu Daofeng smiled and said, "There is no time to lose! Director Cai, when will your money arrive?"

Cai Xingpei was slightly startled, then laughed and said, "I'll arrange for someone to get the money now!"

Fang Zhicheng looked at Cai Xingpei's flattering face and sighed in his heart. Cai Xingpei's transformation was too great. At the same time, this was the magic of power. If you were just a small civil servant in the municipal government, Cai Xingpei would not only not pay attention to you, but would even ridicule you in various ways. But you are the mayor who is in charge of resources, and Cai Xingpei not only bows and scrapes to you, but even begs you to accept his 50 million.

It's not that the city's finances can't come up with 50 million yuan, but that the money can't be spent because the reasons are not sufficient. Cai Xingpei took the initiative to bear the 50 million yuan transfer bridge, which can solve this problem.

Cai Xingpei also had a lot of hardship in his heart. He became the unlucky receiver. No one's money comes from the wind, but he has invested a lot of effort in the Caoyao Old Town Reconstruction Project. If it fails, it may lead to his bankruptcy. Fifty million yuan for public relations is also acceptable. After all, billions of his assets are invested in this project.

Cai Xingpei was so bold, on the one hand because he had confidence in Cao Yao's old town project, and on the other hand he felt that he had a good relationship with the government. It was just because of someone's design that he almost offended the city leaders in charge of the project.

If he could get the two plots of land for the old city project and plan them successfully, the profit margin would be over 50%, so Cai Xingpei chose to take the risk.

About half an hour later, a black commercial vehicle arrived at the scene. Cai Xingpei smiled and said, "The money has arrived."

Fang Zhicheng waved at Hua Qingwen and gave him a few instructions. Hua Qingwen nodded and said, "I'll arrange it right away!"

Under the arrangement of the staff, a long table was set up, and then cash boxes were taken out from the car one after another, opened and spread on the table. Tu Chuanbin took the megaphone and said loudly: "Everyone come over now to collect the money, just show your personal ID card!"

A large amount of banknotes were piled in front of them, and the retirees were stunned. The scene of nearly a thousand people suddenly fell silent. Fang Zhicheng took the microphone from Tu Chuanbin and said, "I am Fang Zhicheng, the deputy mayor in charge of the renovation of the old city project. I believe that some people did not come to the site. Here I make a promise that within the next week, retirees who did not come to the site can also go to Caoyao Heavy Industry Group to collect their previously stored pensions. Now, please collect your pensions in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the staff."

Cao Jianyuan looked at the chaotic and orderly scene, which, under the coordination of the public security police, turned into a long queue. The original scene of the accident instantly became a scene for receiving welfare.

Everyone's face was filled with surprise. Some white-haired old men holding brand new banknotes couldn't help but laugh out loud like ten-year-old naughty boys.

Cao Jianyuan felt unhappy.

Chapter 0982 Wang Guoyue Seeks Peace for the Time Being

"Have the people in the old city dispersed now?" Wang Guoyue saw Chen Zhen walking into the office with a good look on his face, put down the pen in his hand, and asked slowly. If the situation over there was still tense, Chen Zhen might not be able to be so calm now.
