Xiang Nan then found other construction companies and inquired about the details of outstanding project payments. After summarizing the details, he made a phone call to the province.
After receiving the call, the province did not dare to neglect and immediately sent people down to investigate. The bad debt that had been covered up for two years finally came to light.
The total debt of Minning Town is 98.56 million, which is much more than Ma Defu had previously estimated. There are not only project debts and bank loans, but also reception debts, medical debts, and so on.
For example, the bill signed at Helan Restaurant alone in the town exceeded 150,000 yuan, which completely destroyed a prosperous hotel; the medical expenses owed to civil servants were not reimbursed, and the total amount exceeded 3.65 million yuan...
In addition, there are many problems such as misappropriation of public funds, corruption, nepotism, and false bid rigging.
Therefore, the secretary and the mayor must be taken to the province for more in-depth investigation.
However, as soon as they left, the people they owed money to stopped working and immediately surrounded the car.
"They signed all these IOUs. Once they leave, what will happen to these IOUs on their hands? Who will acknowledge them and who will be responsible?"
"You can leave if you want. I'll pay off the outstanding wine money in the store. There are a total of twelve boxes of Maotai, thirty-two boxes of Wuliangye, and forty-five boxes of Xifeng."
"He received 30,000 yuan from Er last year to let Er'er go to work in the town. Now that he's gone, what will happen to Er's son?"
The people complained one after another.
"Look what you've done!" The members of the investigation team glared at the secretary and the mayor. Both of them also looked frightened and embarrassed.
…
After patient persuasion by the investigation team, the people finally made way for the secretary and mayor to go to the county to be investigated and explain the problem. What awaits them will be severe punishment under party discipline and state law.
But even though they left, Minning Town was still in a mess.
The huge debt of nearly 100 million yuan, the confusion of jurisdiction, the quarrel between Haiji County and Ning'an County... Minning Town, which was originally a popular place, suddenly turned into a mud pit that everyone could not avoid.
No one dares to take this hot potato. Because if you take it, there will be a steady stream of troubles.
How to repay huge debts, how to clarify jurisdiction, and how to restore public sentiment... these are all quite difficult.
In the past, when I went to Minning Town, I could get gold plating. Going to Minning Town now is to clear mines. If you are not careful, you will be blown to pieces.
Therefore, everyone hides and no one dares to take care of it.
At the critical moment, Deputy County Magistrate Zhang Shucheng stepped forward and volunteered to take over this important task.
"I used to be the director of the Yuquanying Immigration Village Office, and that place was built brick by brick. Now it has a problem, and I can't just sit back and do nothing." Zhang Shucheng said, "Besides, where is it? He’s also a bit popular, and it’s easier for people to trust him.”
In the end, the organization agreed to Zhang Shucheng's suggestion and sent him to the town to take charge of the work.
…
After Zhang Shucheng arrived, he first promoted Defu to acting mayor, and then worked with him to solve the huge debt of Minning Town.
"The first thing is to clarify the debts of all parties, and then consider raising funds to repay the debts." Zhang Shucheng discussed with Defu.
Defu is very supportive.
Immediately, several major creditors were invited to the town. Xiang Nan also followed.
As a result, the town also owed money to the Fuhua Group. In the past few years, he has been engaged in hospitality in the town and bought a lot of wine and fruit vinegar from Fuhua Group, which totaled more than 500,000 yuan, so as a creditor, he was qualified to collect debts.
Secondly, he knew that Zhang Shucheng was a good official, and it was not easy to take office this time and solve the debt problem of Minning Town. He was worried that something might happen at the meeting, so he came over to help hold the battle together.
Sure enough, as soon as the symposium began, those creditors started to fire, complaining about the losses caused to them by the town's default. Some agitated people even cursed incessantly, even uttering the Three-Character Sutra.
After hearing this, Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu looked embarrassed even though they knew they were not scolding them.
"That's enough. We're here to understand the situation and solve the problem. We're not here to scold you. If you like scolding, go find a place where no one is around and don't dirty everyone's ears here." Xiang Nan scolded coldly. road.
One sentence immediately stunned those people.
Xiang Nan is the richest man in Minning Town. What he said was often more effective than the town's.
…
Zhang Shucheng glanced at Xiang Nan gratefully and said, "We are here to discuss and solve the problem today. Let's talk about the problem first."
At this moment, people began to report the situation honestly.
Both Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu memorized it carefully and found that there were quite a few problems.
"Secretary Zhang, you have to help us make the decision." An Yongshou said, "We can't delay the money any longer. If we delay it any longer, I won't even be able to pay the workers' wages. By then, they won't have the money to take it. If you file a lawsuit with the province, you won’t blame me.”
Hearing what he said, Zhang Shucheng frowned.
The incident in Minning Town had alarmed the higher authorities, and he came down specifically to put out the fire. But if there is still a group incident, it will be troublesome.
"What the hell!" Xiang Nan yelled loudly, "Is Secretary Zhang the kind of person who doesn't do things? Yuquanying was a Gobi Desert back then. If he hadn't been involved in diaozhuang immigration, you would still be farming in Kushui Village now. Why? Not grateful at all.
Secretary Zhang, I will make the decision on behalf of my brother. The town is not in a hurry to pay back the money from Yongshou Construction. You give priority to other companies and other creditors. "
"Brother, our company..." Upon hearing this, An Yongshou became anxious and begged quickly.
"Shut up. I'll help you fill the holes in your company first." Xiang Nan glared at him and said, "Secretary Zhang is a good person. Mayor Ma has been working hard these years, and we can see it.
They are not the ones in debt, they are also taking the blame for others. We can ask for debt, but we must not distinguish right from wrong and hurt the hearts of good people. We must believe in Secretary Zhang and Mayor Ma and their determination to solve the problem.
Let's not cause any more trouble for them. Otherwise, if they are transferred away, a new group of people will be replaced at that time. Will they still be so dedicated and serve the people like this? "
After hearing what he said, the other creditors nodded.
Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu are really very good officials. They had come to collect debts many times before. The secretary and mayor did not even dare to show their faces. They only found a few staff members and sent them away.
Now Secretary Zhang and Mayor Ma can sit down and listen to their reports, which is much better than them. If they are removed and the previous batch of incompetent ones are to be repaid, then it will be impossible to get their money back.
So now everyone expressed their support for Secretary Zhang and Mayor Ma.
When Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu met, they couldn't help but be grateful to Xiang Nan for speaking up.
If he hadn't come to calm down the situation today, it would have taken a long time to argue.
