"Since we can't buy land before the policy is issued, let's prepare first and complete all other procedures. We can get the land after the policy is officially announced. Although the cost is a little higher, the profit should not be underestimated." Jin Feng snorted and said, "Of course, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We can use a borrowed knife to kill someone. Contact those local investors with backgrounds and spread the news that 'Song Wendi doesn't want local companies to get the land in Yuhu'..."
Shi Dong showed a look of understanding and said with a strange smile: "Won't that make many people jealous?"
Jin Feng said softly, "Tianhen Real Estate and Wuyue Real Estate are the two companies that have invested the most. Song Wendi is undoubtedly their biggest enemy. You might as well spread this news. The phone of the municipal party secretary's office is probably going to be blown up."
Those two real estate investment companies are very powerful and have deep backgrounds. If they learned of this news, they would naturally put pressure on Song Wendi.
Shi Dong snapped his fingers and laughed shrilly: "Brother Feng, I'll do it now."
Fang Zhicheng returned to the office and reported the situation of the Land and Resources Bureau to Song Wendi. Song Wendi looked solemn and sighed, "From now on, all calls to me must go through you. Anyone who wants to use connections to purchase land in the Yuhu Ecological Zone before the document is issued will be blocked."
Fang Zhicheng could hear the determination in Song Wendi's tone. He asked worriedly, "What if the provincial leaders say hello?"
Song Wendi laughed dumbly and said, "Once you decide to do something, you should not be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. I also want to know who wants to extend their hands to Yinzhou."
As Song Wendi expected, Fang Zhicheng received many calls in the following days. Most of these people were cadres at or above the department level, and had some connection with Song Wendi. Their purpose was clear: to lobby for some real estate investors in Yinzhou City. Fang Zhicheng patiently wrote down the contact information and reported to Song Wendi every morning.
At 3:30 p.m. on Friday, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was held in the conference room of Building No. 1. Except for the political commissar of the military sub-district who took leave, all other members of the Standing Committee participated in the meeting.
After everyone was seated, Song Wendi asked Fang Zhicheng to distribute a document to everyone present, and said with a smile: "First, please take a quick look at the document in your hand. This is a list of companies, which records the names of 25 real estate investment companies. Where did the list come from? You may as well make a bold guess!"
The members of the Standing Committee began to whisper to each other, but no one spoke loudly because they didn't know what Song Wendi was up to.
Song Wendi took a sip of tea from the porcelain cup, and said lightly, "These companies are potential investors in our Yuhu Ecological Zone real estate project. In the past week, they have been looking for various ways to hope that I can approve a piece of land. They have all kinds of means, and even a deputy ministerial leader from Qiongjin has personally asked about it, which really makes me ecstatic and frightened. I am happy that the Yuhu Ecological Zone real estate project has not been officially filed, but it has attracted widespread attention from the society; I am frightened that so many people want to find me to open a backdoor. If I give in, it means a large amount of funds will be lost. Comrades, what do you think I should do?"
Everyone was shocked. No one expected Song Wendi to speak so openly about the hidden rules behind the scenes. If there is a municipal project, companies will use their connections and official background to seek maximum profits. This is a well-known but secret thing. Why did Song Wendi poke holes in the wound
Xia Xiang put down the pen in his hand, his face solemn, and said: "This cannot be blamed on the enterprises. Businessmen value profit, which is their nature. I think the government should relax the policy and ensure the interests of local developers. If we wait until the document is officially issued and then open it to the whole country for bidding, local real estate investment companies will inevitably lack strength in the face of large real estate investment companies and will be eliminated. This is not in line with our purpose of cultivating local enterprises."
Song Wendi didn't say much, just drank his tea silently, glancing at Jin Guoding, suggesting that he should speak.
Jin Guoding cleared his throat and said, "Mayor Xia's words make sense. Local enterprises should naturally be protected. Foreign investors coming to Yinzhou may encounter the risk of acclimatization, which is not conducive to regional stability. However, Secretary Song has considered the issue carefully. If the land is sold to local enterprises in advance, then the profits earned by foreign enterprises will undoubtedly be reduced, which will reduce the attractiveness of the project."
Jin Guoding continued to take the middle road, while others were divided into two camps. One supported Song Wendi's view that the floodgates should not be opened to local enterprises in advance, otherwise it would be unfair. The other supported Xia Xiang's view that local enterprises should be protected and that they should be given a share of the pie before the project was publicly announced for bidding.
Xia Xiang looked solemn. He realized why Song Wendi had provoked a debate at the Standing Committee meeting. The reason was simple. Through this incident, he wanted to send a signal to all members of the Standing Committee that he had successfully extended his hand into the government's economic work.
Fang Zhicheng sat against the wall, holding his phone tightly, waiting for a text message. Suddenly, his phone vibrated several times, and he opened it, his expression softened, and then he moved lightly to Song Wendi's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening to this, Song Wendi nodded, then stretched out his hand and pressed in the air, and the conference room suddenly became quiet. Song Wendi said softly: "The real estate project plan of Yuhu Ecological Zone has just been reviewed by the province, and the application to change the residential land demolished in the early stage of Yuhu Ecological Zone to commercial use has been approved. Now I suggest a vote by raising hands. Those who think that local real estate investors need to purchase land before the official issuance of the policy document, please raise your hands!"
As soon as these words were spoken, no one responded. The province had just approved the project plan, which meant that a series of policy documents were imperative to promote real estate projects in the Yuhu Ecological Zone.
If the document had not been officially issued, people might have tried to negotiate with the Bureau of Land and Resources to allocate a batch of land quotas for local investors to purchase at low prices. But now that the province has passed the plan, if it still agrees to allow local investors to purchase land at low prices, wouldn’t that mean supporting the sale of land resources at a low price
Who is willing to take the risk
Song Wendi was too cunning. He calculated the time perfectly and sent the request document to the Provincial Party Committee at the same time as the Standing Committee was convened, deliberately creating a time difference. If Xia Xiang had known in advance that the province had already approved the request plan, he would never have opposed Song Wendi at the Standing Committee meeting.
Fang Zhicheng saw clearly that Song Wendi had deliberately set a trap to make Xia Xiang suffer a great loss. Otherwise, how could Song Wendi become the winner of this battle in a fair and just manner
Of course, there are gains and losses.
This victory still had a negative impact on Song Wendi. After all, it blocked the interests of many people and made him a person who was too different. This was the loss.
Chapter 0055: A Dinner for an Answer
Song Wendi once again demonstrated his excellent strategy, and he used the art of truth and falsehood in an exquisite way. He first spread the word that the real estate project in Yuhu Ecological Zone would not be given to local enterprises, which made the stakeholders jump up and down, revealing his true colors. Then he pointed out the interests at the Standing Committee meeting, and from the perspective of justice, he shut these people up, which undoubtedly gave a loud slap to the forces behind the scenes who were trying to control the real estate project in Yuhu Ecological Zone.
The collusion between officials and businessmen in Yinzhou has a long history. Song Wendi wanted to tell those forces not to get their hands on the Yuhu Ecological Zone project, otherwise he would not hesitate to accuse them of selling land resources at a low price.
After the Standing Committee meeting, Qiu Hengde and Deng Fangyuan discussed important matters in the office of the municipal party secretary. With the consensus reached on the real estate project in Yuhu Ecological Zone, Song Wendi has already built his own circle of power, and the foundation is solid. Qiu Hengde, Deng Fangyuan, and Zeng Ru have become the core force supporting the Song faction.
Fang Zhicheng brought in two cups of tea and heard Song Wendi discussing the party's work style with the two men. He then walked out carefully, as if he had not heard anything. The three of them were discussing very intensely. Qiu Hengde and Deng Fangyuan both believed that it was too hasty to carry out the rectification work now, which would most likely lead to a counterattack from Cheng Bin.
Just because the Quan'an Gang hasn't been making much noise recently doesn't mean it's willing to swallow its anger.
Song Wendi looks elegant, but he is actually a tough guy. He believes that there are many chronic diseases in Yinzhou officialdom, which will only become more serious if they are not eradicated in time.
Back in the outer room, Fang Zhicheng took a sip of tea and looked at the calendar. He suddenly remembered that he had to go to Qiongjin to attend a classmate's wedding on the weekend. He thought about saying hello to Song Wendi. The secretary's work is very flexible. Even on weekends, the phone cannot be turned off. You have to respond to various changes at any time. If Song Wendi has something important to tell you when you leave Yinzhou for two days, and you can't be there in time, this is a taboo for the leader.
Qiu Hengde and Deng Fangyuan walked out of the inner room with serious expressions. Qiu Hengde greeted Deng Fangyuan, and Deng Fangyuan left first.
Fang Zhicheng knew that Qiu Hengde wanted to talk to him privately about something, so he quickly pulled a chair and asked Qiu Hengde to sit down. He smiled and asked, "Minister Qiu, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Qiu Hengde smiled slightly and said calmly, "Xie Fang will have her birthday next month. She asked me that you must attend, so I specifically told you to do so."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and asked, "Sister Fang, does she have anything she particularly likes?"
Qiu Hengde was slightly startled and asked doubtfully: "You want to give her a gift?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "You invited me, I can't just come empty-handed and eat for free!"
Qiu Hengde patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder twice and said with a smile: "You don't need to bring anything. It's just a small family dinner. There are no other guests except you, so there's no need to be polite."
After sending Qiu Hengde away, Fang Zhicheng suddenly decided to call Xie Yuxin. Although Qiu Hengde told him not to prepare a gift, it didn't mean that he didn't need to prepare anything. Xie Fang might not care whether Fang Zhicheng brought anything or not, but women like surprises. If Fang Zhicheng could bring something she liked, Xie Fang would naturally like him better.
In official circles, taking the wife route is also a commonly used shortcut.
