Xu Zheng immediately denied: "No. We conduct a private investigation of a company that came to invest. If it spreads out, it will affect our reputation. Others will think that we are using government power to deal with private enterprises and reduce our investment environment. commented".
Li Tao said: "I don't think it will be a hindrance to a private investigation. This is also normal. After all, this company does behave weirdly."
Xu Zheng said: "We formally signed a contract with someone, and now we turn our heads and say that they are acting weird. This cannot be explained. Lao Li, let me see you go and see if you can let Hongtu The group needs less compensation."
Seeing Xu Zheng's insistence, Li Tao couldn't sing a drama with him anymore, so he said, "Okay, I will ask again."
Xu Zheng said: "Then you go quickly."
Li Tao went to find Qian Bing. Xu Zheng looked at Li Tao’s leaving back thoughtfully. In fact, he did not tell Li Tao the real reason for his refusal to investigate Qian Bing. If he did not investigate Qian Bing, he would only make compensation. If the secrecy work is done properly, the public may be concealed from the business dealings between the two countries. As the government, it is just a mistake, and it is much lighter to hold accountable. And if you really go to investigate and investigate problems, it will be a social sensational criminal case, which is a hot spot of interest to the media nowadays. When the time comes, reporters who dig insider are afraid that there will be a flood of people. Then the focus of public opinion will be completely focused. In my own body, at that time there was a possibility of losing office and dismissing from office. Therefore, Xu Zheng would not agree to investigate Qian Bing anyway.
Qian Bing watched Li Tao come back again, and his hanging heart was relieved. Although he was very strong in front of Li Tao last time, in fact he had no real hole cards to rely on. He is even more afraid that Li Tao, these government officials, will become angry and use official means to investigate him. Others don't know, but he himself knows what his origin is. If he misses the stuff, he will be jailed.
Qian Bing had already packed up his belongings, and prepared to run away if he saw that the wind was wrong, or the Haichuan Municipal Government did not respond to his asking price of 50 million yuan. Therefore, during the period of Li Tao's departure, Qian Bing's heart was also very tormented. He didn't know what kind of reaction the Haichuan Municipal Government would make, so his nerves were strained to the extreme.
Qian Bing looked at Li Tao and laughed, and said sarcastically, "Deputy Mayor Li, do you want to come here again to tell me that you want me to take me to court?"
Qian Bing’s look like a villain made Li Tao tickled with hatred. He couldn’t wait to let the relevant authorities catch this guy right away, but Xu Zheng insisted on not investigating Qian Bing, so Li Tao didn’t do that. He has to discuss with Qian Bing to see if he can lower the asking price of Qian Bing.
Li Tao smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Qian is really good at joking. If we are going to court Hongtu Group, how can I come to you again?"
Qian Bing laughed and said, "I see Deputy Mayor Li leaving with angrily, but he has that kind of posture. Okay, since you have no plans to go to court with me, then you come here this time. Any instructions?"
Li Tao said: "I have reported your request to Mayor Xu. Mayor Xu believes that Hongtu Group may indeed have some economic losses, but he is considering giving you a certain amount of economic compensation."
Qian Bing was very happy, and said to his heart: Now you can knock the Haichuan Municipal Government a lot of money. Now this society is good. As long as you are willing to use your brain, you can get a lot of money out of thin air.
Qian Bing smiled and said, "That's right. Mayor Xu is indeed the mayor. He knows that to abide by economic laws, you will naturally need to compensate us for breach of contract. When are you going to pay me 50 million? "
Qian Bing looked at Li Tao, thinking quickly in his mind whether to stick to 50 million or lower the price appropriately? He was afraid of leaving the Haichuan City Government to run away. At that time, the Haichuan City Government might have been driven to a dead end. In that case, Xu Zheng might fight him to die. The so-called bachelor’s ninety-nine does not play plus one, let’s leave a little room for the Haichuan City Government. Besides: "Money is money when you get it, and money is empty if you don't get it."
Qian Bing thought about it and said, "Then how much is Mayor Xu going to compensate?"
Li Tao didn't want to give a penny in his heart, but because Qian Bing had already called a number of 50 million, Li Tao could no longer offer too low a price. He said: "Our Haichuan city government will pay at most 10 million, you see. how is it?"
Ten million is already very satisfied with Qian Bing, but he felt that the oil and water of the Haichuan Municipal Government had not been drained, so he sneered and said, "Just kidding, you guys can bargain too much, right? Ten million. Half of my loss is not enough. You don’t have any sincerity. I tell you that you don’t even have to talk about it if you don’t have 30 million."
Qian Bing offered a price of 30 million yuan again, and Li Tao understood that there was room for bargaining. He said, "No, 30 million yuan will not be accepted by the municipal government. Mr. Qian, you can say a price that everyone can accept. ."
Qian Bing hesitated, he still wanted to reach an agreement with the Haichuan Municipal Government as soon as possible, so that he could get the money and escape soon, so he said: "Twenty-five million yuan, it can't be lower."
Li Tao said: "Twenty million, if you accept this price, I will go back and report to Mayor Xu."
Qian Bing was so happy that he could get 20 million out of thin air. How could he not accept it? But there was a very embarrassed expression on his face, saying: "Well, 20 million is 20 million. I hope you will fulfill your promise as soon as possible."
Li Tao went back and made a report with Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng thought it was acceptable to drop to 20 million, so he asked Li Tao to communicate with Jinshi Real Estate Group and asked them to add another 20 million to the land agreement transfer price to compensate Hongtu. At the same time, the municipal government promised to give Jinshi Group certain reductions and discounts in future taxes and fees to compensate 20 million yuan.
Jinshi Real Estate Group is really optimistic about this plot, and also wants to use this to bring them closer to the Haichuan Municipal Government, so they readily agreed.
Xu Zheng once again submitted the matter to the executive meeting of the municipal government for discussion. He was very upset about it in his heart, so a collective decision of the municipal government was needed to endorse his behavior. He talked about Hongtu Group's willingness to withdraw only after compensation. He talked about Jinshi Real Estate Group's willingness to bear 20 million in compensation and agreed to increase the original agreement price by 20 million. However, Xu Zheng did not mention the conditions for tax reduction and exemption he promised to Jinshi Real Estate Group. It seems that Jinshi Real Estate Group indirectly compensated Hongtu Group, and the Haichuan Municipal Government did not increase any losses due to this.
After speaking, Xu Zheng looked at the people present and said, "Do you have different opinions on this?"
Jinda couldn't bear it anymore. Originally, he felt that it was a mistake not to hold Hongtu Group accountable, but because the investigation would not help solve the problem, he temporarily tolerated this plan. However, he did not expect Hongtu Group to make an inch of progress and dare to ask the city government for 20 million compensation. He could no longer suppress the indignation in his heart, and ignored Guo Kui’s teachings. He directly spoke and said: "Mayor Xu, I don’t agree with what compensation should be given to Hongtu Group. Why do they want our city government to compensate them? Is the loss they caused us not enough?"
Jinda really jumped out to oppose it. Xu Zheng was prepared for this. He said: "Comrade Jinda, anyway, Hongtu Group has an agreement to cooperate with us. Compensation for them is also in accordance with market standards. Method. I know you can’t accept this plan emotionally, and honestly I can’t. But now it’s a market economy, and our city government can only act in accordance with economic laws and regulations.”
Jinda said: “According to economic regulations does not mean accepting blackmail from a rogue company like Hongtu Group. I don’t think we can agree to do so. I suggest investigating Hongtu Group. Their company’s practices show that they have no To fulfill the strength of the cooperation agreement, we should investigate the losses they caused to the city instead of giving them 20 million."
Xu Zheng said: "Comrade Jinda, I understand your feelings, but further entanglement will not help solve the problem. Now the Jinshi Group is eager to take over, and they are also willing to bear the 20 million economic compensation costs. This is not a problem. Is it a happy ending? What are you against?"
Jinda said: "But didn't this allow the Hongtu Group's conspiracy to succeed? This is not fair at all. If this situation is known to the general public, I don't know how to scold us cadres."
Xu Zheng felt that he had given Jinda enough respect. It was because he himself felt that this matter was not glorious enough, so he felt that Jinda should be given the necessary opportunity to express his opinions. At this moment, he already felt that it was almost the case, and said: "Well, do other comrades have different opinions?"
The other deputy mayors did not disagree. Xu Zheng said: "Now only Comrade Jinda opposes this. The municipal government executive meeting passed and agreed to give Hongtu Group 20 million in compensation."
As soon as the executive meeting was over, Jinda left the meeting room angrily, went directly to the municipal party committee, found Zhang Lin, and said, "Secretary Zhang, you can no longer condone Mayor Xu Zheng. You must come forward with this question. To stop it."
Zhang Lin looked at Jinda with a smile and said, "Comrade Jinda, what are you talking about?"
Jinda said: "Mayor Xu Zheng has just passed at the municipal government's executive meeting and is ready to compensate Hongtu Group for the loss of 20 million from the termination of the contract?"
Zhang Lin was also surprised and asked, "Why? Hongtu Group has been shutting down there all the time. Why should it compensate them so much? How is this loss calculated?"
Jinda said: "It's because Hongtu Group has lowered its requirements, starting with an additional 50 million. The reason is very simple. If you want to terminate the contract, you will have to bear the penalty."
