In that era, when doing government projects, it was indeed routine practice for the construction party to advance the project payment.
As long as the government's reputation is good, all banks will recognize acceptance bills for government project funds, and the construction company will not be afraid of not getting the money in the end.
But Guo Yang didn't want to do this. On the one hand, this was Li Wenbo's squeeze on him. Even to maintain his dignity, he had to fight back! On the other hand, this project was actually run by him. With no money in the early stage, he was worried that Fang Yongan would do something wrong!
Once the quality of the project is not good, it will be too dangerous!
So after Li Wenbo finished speaking, Guo Yang immediately retorted: "Mayor Li, I think this is not a matter of convention, but a matter of the spirit of the contract! Yongan Water Conservancy Company is not our local enterprise in southern Liaoning. Strictly speaking, it They are considered foreign companies that we have introduced! If the Liaonan Municipal Government blatantly violates the spirit of the contract when we first start our cooperation, it will definitely have a great impact on our government image!"
Li Wenbo said: "I understand what Secretary Guo means, but we have to go through the relevant audit process. If Yongan Water Conservancy Company has any objections, I can personally talk to their boss after the Municipal Standing Committee makes a formal decision. Let’s talk!”
"Mayor Li, this is not a matter of understanding or not, let alone who to talk to! You suddenly changed your mind and are so irresponsible to the people of Xiushan County! If municipal funds are not allocated in time, water conservancy projects will be delayed. , the flood season is coming, who can bear this responsibility? You have to know that the safety of people's lives and property is priceless!" Guo Yang said sternly.
Li Wenbo's face also darkened: "Secretary Guo, if you think this matter is a heavy responsibility, then I need to have a serious talk with the person in charge of Yong'an Water Conservancy Company! The project has not started yet, and there is enough time. If they don't If appropriate, we can also hold another tender and invite companies that can do it, and I think it’s too late!”
"You..." Guo Yang was so angry at Li Wenbo.
For a long time, because Li Wenbo held the real power, every time he held a meeting, he could dominate Guo Yang in terms of momentum and voice. What he did as a secretary was really frustrating.
Guo Yang knew that he would not be able to get any advantage at this Standing Committee meeting, so he could only take a deep breath and said: "I still reserve my opinion! He also suggested that before the Standing Committee makes a decision, a special person can be sent to contact Yongan Water Conservancy Company first. Communicate! After all, this is a major event related to hundreds of thousands of people in Xiushan County and the fight against poverty in Xiushan County!"
At Guo Yang's insistence, the vote on this issue was postponed.
The reason why he was so persistent was because Guo Yang wanted to communicate with Fang Yongan first!
He has made up his mind that he doesn't want any money. If Fang Yongan can accept the suspended payment while ensuring the quality of the project, then the project can continue. If not, then the project may as well not be done at all!
…
That night, Guo Yang called Fang Yongan to a private club alone and specifically told him not to notify Zhang Wenwen.
Since going to Yangshan, Zhang Wenwen's attitude has become more and more arrogant. Not only did she yell at her uncle, she even forced Guo Yang several times, asking him to quickly find a way to get her father Zhang Zhengting out!
Now Guo Yang has a headache when he sees Zhang Wenwen. He is more concerned with public affairs than private affairs, and he can't offend this niece! It’s so annoying just thinking about it!
Fang Yongan noticed that something was wrong with Guo Yang and asked tentatively: "Old Guo, what's wrong?"
Guo Yang's face darkened slightly. Because Fang Yongan was often with Zhang Wenwen, his current attitude seemed a bit arrogant. He no longer even used "Secretary Guo" and honorifics, and actually called himself "Lao Guo"!
Guo Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Today's municipal government meeting, Li Wenbo proposed to postpone the payment of your first phase of the project! This move caught me off guard, so I want to ask you what you mean!"
“Delay the down payment?!”
Fang Yong'an glared and said: "Old Guo! You don't do things like this! I know it's normal for the government to default on project payments! But that's also the mid-term or final payment. How can you not pay the down payment? Without money, how can I start the project? Ah! No, no, I can't do this!"
Fang Yong'an originally thought that after what he said, Guo Yang would be anxious, or at least help think of a solution.
Unexpectedly, Guo Yang actually nodded and said, "That's what I mean too! Let's not do this project!"
"What?"
Fang Yongan was stunned and looked at Guo Yang in disbelief. It took him a while to come back to his senses!
"Lao Guo... Oh no! Secretary Guo! You misunderstood! I didn't mean that! It's hard for us to make the budget so big. If we say we don't do it, we won't do it. Then, it won't be easier for others. Well!" Fang Yongan said with a grin.
If you think you are useful, just call him Secretary Guo. If you think you are good enough, just call him Lao Guo?
Guo Yang snorted coldly in his heart and said calmly: "Yong'an! I'm thinking about you too! I know that your company has been in a recession recently and your funds are limited! I don't want you to take risks! Li Wenbo was here before He lost a game to me when it came to raising the budget. Next, he will definitely find an opportunity to toss us! I have no real power now, so I can’t withstand his tossing like this!"
"Is there no other way?" Fang Yongan asked with a frown.
Guo Yang shook his head: "I have tried my best. If I hadn't held on today, you would have been notified and advanced the funds on your own by now! Moreover, I judge that Li Wenbo will still ask for the quality of the project after you finish the project. Talking about trouble and causing trouble for you again and again! Alas, it’s a pity to give up, but it’s better than getting into trouble!”
On the surface, Guo Yang cares about Fang Yongan, but in fact he uses Li Wenbo to intimidate Fang Yongan, who must control the quality of the project.
Fang Yongan fell into deep thought, and after a moment he hesitated and said: "Otherwise, I ask Zhang Wenwen to ask Young Master Yang about this matter? After all, Young Master Yang's interests are also involved here. Maybe he can think of a solution for us?"
Yangshan?
Guo Yang smiled and said nothing. In fact, this was what he expected.
Yang Shan has expressed dissatisfaction with Li Wenbo before, but he has never personally dealt with Li Wenbo! If we can take this opportunity to involve Yang Shan, then the benefits to Guo Yang will be great!
"Old Fang! You go ahead and make arrangements! Remember, no matter what the situation, you can't show timidity in front of Young Master Yang! Do you understand?" Guo Yang reminded.
Fang Yong'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, Secretary Guo! Even if I am so poor that I only have my underpants, it is absolutely impossible for me to make Mr. Yang think that I lack strength!"
…
At this time, Yang Shan was in Fengtian, drinking tea with Liu Fusheng.
"Why did Brother Goat come to Fengtian?" Liu Fusheng picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea soup, and asked with a smile.
Yang Shan chuckled: "I heard, Brother Sheng, you showed your prowess in Fengtian City Bureau and became a recognized detective in Fengliao Province. I have to come over to congratulate you, both emotionally and rationally! In addition, I am also a prostitute in Fengtian." I have two female college students. They are very pure, like budding flowers. Haha, in order to let them bloom as soon as possible, I must water them frequently and loosen the soil!"
This guy really just needs grass!
Liu Fusheng secretly rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Goat is so interested! In fact, I was also about to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Yang Shan asked.
Liu Fusheng smiled lightly and said, "Zhang Wenwen should call you today or tomorrow. I need to tell you about this situation."
Yang Shan shook his head and smiled: "Impossible. I just told her two days ago not to call me recently! When I pick up girls, I am always very focused. She knows my rules..."
Jingle Bell!
Before he could finish his words, his cell phone rang!
The person calling was none other than Zhang Wenwen!
