Although the real estate project in Yuhu Ecological Zone has not been decided by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the news that the top two leaders have reached a consensus has spread. Some businessmen have seen the benefits and started to make plans in advance, hoping to seize the opportunity before the policy is issued. Once the policy is issued, the value of the land in Yuhu Ecological Zone will increase exponentially, and no one can ignore the benefits.
Song Wendi showed an unhappy look on his face and sighed, "The relationship between Yinzhou officials and businessmen is indeed as rumored, too close. This is not a good sign."
The relationship between officials and businessmen has always been criticized by the masses. In Yinzhou, the relationship between officials and businessmen is particularly serious. There are even powerful businessmen who are called ministers of civil organizations and can control the promotion of officials. This is enough to show that the relationship between businessmen and officials is too close.
Dealing with the relationship between officials and businessmen was also one of the key issues that Song Wendi had to solve when he first took office. If we want to create a fair, just and open economic system, officials should treat businessmen equally and not play the friendship card.
Fang Zhicheng reminded softly: "From the news from the Land and Resources Bureau, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for too long. The leaders of the Municipal Party Committee have already warned them, and it's not going to be easy for them to handle it."
Song Wendi nodded and whispered, "When you have time, go to the Land and Resources Bureau and convey my ideas to you."
Fang Zhicheng quickly agreed, secretly thinking that Song Wendi was determined this time to resolutely put an end to land loss in the Yuhu Ecological Zone.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhicheng rushed to the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau.
Officials of the same rank have different positions because they control financial power, legal power, and appointment power. The Finance Bureau and the Taxation Bureau are directly linked to the government's tax control, so they have the most say among all government departments.
As for the law enforcement bureaus such as the Land and Resources Bureau, Construction Bureau, Industry and Commerce Administration Bureau, Health Bureau, Drug Administration, Price Bureau, Technical Supervision Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau, and Safety Supervision Bureau, they are in charge of the approval of core public resources such as land, urban construction, business licenses, medicine, environmental protection, and safety law enforcement, and are therefore in the second echelon of the political structure.
The Civil Affairs Bureau, Water Conservancy Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Education Bureau, Forestry Bureau, and Meteorological Bureau are relatively weak, but they rely on the abundant support funds from the state and are in the third echelon because they can decide the flow of this considerable amount of funds. Because he is the secretary of the municipal party secretary and represents the municipal party secretary, Zhang Chaoyang, director of the Bureau of Land and Resources, personally receives him. When Fang Zhicheng entered Zhang Chaoyang's office, his face slightly stern, because although the decoration inside is ordinary, some items placed everywhere moved him, especially the half-meter-high white marble horse on the desk. Although he didn't know whether it was an antique, he could tell from a quick glance that it was worth a lot of money.
While brewing Kung Fu tea, Zhang Chaoyang narrowed his eyes and smiled at Fang Zhicheng: "Secretary Fang, everyone knows the purpose of your coming here this time. As I told you on the phone, the Land and Resources Bureau can no longer bear the pressure. Some people above are saying hello, and some people below are making trouble. Two days ago, Yuhu Ecological Zone organized dozens of people and strongly demanded that the application for the sale of land in Yuhu Town be approved. I am in a difficult situation now, and I hope Secretary Song can forgive me."
As soon as Zhang Chaoyang met him, he threw out a difficult question, which undoubtedly made it difficult for Fang Zhicheng to respond. Fang Zhicheng smiled and said slowly: "Secretary Song, let me bring you a message, 'There is no Bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing at all, so where can dust gather!'"
Zhang Chaoyang chewed on the meaning of the ancient poem with a solemn look in his eyes.
Originally there was nothing? He wondered if Song Wendi was hinting at him that the Yuhu Ecological Zone real estate project might just be a cover? Or perhaps Song Wendi was threatening the businessmen who were ready to make a move. If they made too much noise, Song Wendi might cancel the Yuhu Ecological Zone real estate project plan, leaving them with nothing.
The plan has not been officially issued yet and is still subject to change. Without the support of policy documents, the Yuhu Ecological Zone will remain a barren land and pose great risks.
Zhang Chaoyang nodded silently, drank a cup of tea, and sighed softly: "I know how to answer them."
Chapter 0054: Fighting and Gains and Losses
Fang Zhicheng sat in the office of the director of the Land and Resources Bureau for half an hour, drank three cups of tea, and then stood up to say goodbye and leave. Zhang Chaoyang walked him to the stairs, and then instructed a deputy director to personally take him downstairs.
The reason why Zhang Chaoyang was so enthusiastic about Fang Zhicheng was because of Song Wendi. As the leader of a powerful department, he naturally knew the direction of the Yinzhou officialdom. Although Zhang Chaoyang had stood in the Xia Xiang camp before, a new emperor chooses new ministers. If Song Wendi's east wind can overwhelm Xia Xiang's west wind, he will not stubbornly stick to Xia Xiang. Song Wendi's relationship is in the provincial party committee, and Secretary Li Siyuan attaches great importance to it. If he can hold Song Wendi's thigh, his future will undoubtedly be broader.
Zhang Chaoyang is a cunning speculator who has been able to thrive over the years thanks to his sharp vision.
As soon as he walked into the office, the landline phone rang. Zhang Chaoyang glanced at the number, frowned slightly, and thought to himself that Shi Dong was following him too closely.
As soon as Fang Zhicheng left the office building, his phone call came in. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but it made Zhang Chaoyang feel slightly dissatisfied. He felt like he was being monitored.
"Lao Zhang, are you free to have dinner together tonight?" Shi Dong's voice was very thin and a little harsh.
"Mr. Shi, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhang Chaoyang asked knowingly.
Shi Dong and Yin Xiong recently founded a real estate investment company to acquire land from the government. Within a few days, Shi Dong made dozens of calls to Zhang Chaoyang, urging him to purchase some land in the Yuhu Ecological Zone. However, due to Song Wendi's instructions, Zhang Chaoyang never gave him a positive response.
"It's okay. Can't we have dinner? Lao Zhang, when did you become so distant?" Shi Dong said with a smile, "I have prepared a special program for you tonight. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Everyone in the circle knows that Zhang Chaoyang, director of the Land and Resources Bureau, particularly likes to chat with people. Of course, the person he is chatting with must be a young and beautiful woman. It would be even better if she has academic qualifications, such as a college student or a master's student.
"I haven't been in good spirits recently and I have to go back and have a good rest at night, so I won't be able to accompany Mr. Shi. I hope you can understand." Now is a special stage. Zhang Chaoyang is considering how to get closer to Song Wendi, so naturally he has to keep a distance from Xia Xiang's faction.
Shi Dong was slightly startled, frowned, and realized that Zhang Chaoyang had changed here, and asked tentatively: "Did you get any news?"
"We have known each other for such a long time and have a good personal relationship, so there is no need to hide it from Mr. Shi. Just now, the secretary of the municipal party committee came to me and conveyed the decree that the land in Yuhu Ecological Zone will not be put up for bidding for the time being, and the nature of the land has not been adjusted for the time being. So I suggest that Mr. Shi should wait and make a decision after the situation becomes clear."
"The real estate project in Yuhu Ecological Zone is still a castle in the air..." Zhang Chaoyang lowered his voice when he said the last sentence, sounding extremely mysterious.
Shi Dong said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhang, now we are trying to seize the last minute. Once the policy is announced, the price will be totally different. If we make less money, your share will not be much by then."
Zhang Chaoyang frowned slightly, thinking that Shi Dong's tone was threatening. He relied on Jin Feng's power to speak to him so arrogantly. However, Zhang Chaoyang was very generous and did not bother with Shi Dong. He said calmly: "Mr. Shi, are you sure that the document will be issued? If it is not issued, won't you lose money at that time?"
Shi Dong said softly, "How can we take the decision made by the senior leaders lightly?"
Zhang Chaoyang sighed, "Secretary Song just said, 'Real estate investors who are anxious to purchase land now should not believe rumors, the Yuhu Ecological Zone real estate project is still in the air.' Mr. Shi, you are the first person to know this."
"Did Song Wendi say that?" Shi Dong asked doubtfully, feeling that the matter was not simple.
Zhang Chaoyang smiled bitterly and said, "Can I still lie to you?"
"Well, I'll go and ask around." After Shi Dong hung up the phone, he immediately called Jin Feng.
After listening to Shi Dong's explanation of the whole story, Jin Feng asked in a deep voice, "Did Zhang Chaoyang really say that?"
Shi Dong was puzzled and said, "I don't understand Song Wendi's intention. Song Wendi undoubtedly wants to make the Yuhu Ecological Zone real estate project a key municipal project. If the land is hyped up now, wouldn't it be a good start? Why does he want to stop us from purchasing the land at a low price in advance?"
Jin Feng pondered for a long time and sighed softly, "Song Wendi thinks more deeply than most people. He hopes to bring in a well-known domestic investor. If we take off a layer of profit first, there will undoubtedly be certain risks in bringing in a big investor."
Shi Dong sighed and said, "What should we do? Doesn't this mean that we can't eat this piece of fat meat?"
Jin Feng tapped his fingers on the table twice and whispered, "Song Wendi has a veto power in the Standing Committee. Since he wants to create a fair environment, we must follow his wishes. Otherwise, Song Wendi may really veto the original plan. We are definitely not the only ones who are greedy for the profits of this project. There will definitely be people who are desperate and want to bite Song Wendi."
Shi Dong pondered Jin Feng's intention and asked in confusion, "So everything should be put on hold?"
