Chapter 271: Lack of Regulation
In the office, Lin Chendui drank tea silently, and on the side seat of the sofa, Su Changzhi excitedly raised a few thin pages of paper in his hand and said with a smile: "Secretary Lin, this Wang Gang has been shuanggui because of economic and style issues, and at the same time, there are seven or eight county bureau-level cadres who have been implicated, among which the situation of the Transportation Bureau is particularly serious, and the senior leaders have almost been wiped out, and that Wang Hua has also been officially arrested by the public security organs because of a number of problems,"
Lin Chenwan was not surprised by such a result, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Gang, the deputy county magistrate in charge of transportation, had used the power in his hands for personal gain in the past few years, and accepted all kinds of bribes of up to 10 million yuanIn less than three days, the entire case was revealed to the world, which made many cadres feel guilty and tremble.
The most fundamental reason why the case went so smoothly was that the city party committee and government had a high degree of unanimity, and both Yang Weiguo and Qiao Ruihua made stern remarks on different occasions, that is, rectifying the party's style and fighting corruption and advocating clean government is an arduous and long-term task, but if any clues of corruption of officials and cadres are discovered, they will investigate to the end and will not be soft.
Many people are speculating that Wang Gang hit the muzzle of the gun this time, in addition to the fact that he has a son who is not angry, it is also related to the fact that he is a figure of local forces, Yang Weiguo and Qiao Ruihua have made it clear that they want to join forces to suppress local forces, and they just use him to kill chickens and monkeys.
According to the principle of avoidance of the appointment and dismissal of officials, locals are not allowed to hold important positions in the local area, but Wuxi is relatively different, although the first and second leaders are not held by locals, but other deputy positions are filled by locals abound, Wang Gang is one of them, and the deputy mayor Chen Yahui, who was in charge of investment promotion, women's federation and education as mentioned earlier, these local cadres are accustomed to Yang Weiguo and Qiao Ruihua, who are strong foreign leaders with great backgrounds. Yang Weiguo and Qiao Ruihua, the first and second in command, have to retreat and be cautious, if they want to expand their own power and enhance their right to speak, it is indispensable to fight against local forces.
It's just that in the past, when suppressing the local forces, there would be more or less gentle and drizzle, and it was rare to be as thunderous as this, lest the suppression be too strong and let the local forces fall under the command of the other party, then the gains outweigh the losses.
The newspapers, magazines and television were full of relevant positive reports, which also showed that Wuxi attached great importance to the anti-corruption work, which was a major victory, but what Lin Chenwei was thinking about was Zhou Qiang's escape.
Zhou Qiang did not alarm anyone when he escaped, and it was not until the third day that everyone realized that it was wrong.
Although Zhou Qiang is indeed a simple person after being removed from his post and rarely shows up, his lover Liang Wenli is very addicted to cards, and usually goes to play two games of mahjong a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and sometimes even one in the evening, but she has not been seen for several days, the phone cannot be reached, and no one answers when she knocks on the door, so some people are suspicious.
At first, I didn't expect it to be a roll of money to escape, but worried about whether there would be any accidents, two years ago there was a shocking homicide case in Wuxi, the whole family of five was killed at home, until the corpse stinked before anyone noticed, and Zhou Qiang has offended many people in the factory over the years, many people have released words to make him look good, who can say clearly, no one jumps off the wall in a hurry, and takes risks.
But after the police broke into the door, they did not find the body, but found a mess in one place, all kinds of clothes were thrown everywhere, many things were not collected, it seemed that they were in a hurry, and they felt a little strange, so they reported it layer by layer, and when Lin Chenwan received the news and judged that Zhou Qiang was likely to escape, it was too late.
Things came very suddenly, especially after Zhou Qiang's minions learned the news that Zhou Qiang had escaped, they were immediately confused, panicked all day long, and wanted to run but couldn't run: After Lu Mingqiang received Lin Chendui's instructions as soon as possible, he sent a large number of personnel to strictly control their whereabouts to prevent them from escaping.
Under the pressure of many times, Liang Wenli, who was so worried that he almost didn't close his eyes for two days, went to Lin Chenwan to confess everything, hoping to make meritorious service and be punished lightly, and according to his confession, over the years, the small group headed by Zhou Qiang has grabbed a total of 270 million yuan from the Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant through various methods such as false accounting and raising the purchase price of raw materials, of which 80% was put into Zhou Qiang's pocket and transferred abroad through the underground bank.
At the same time, Liang Wenli also explained the whole process of Zhou Qiang's attempt to buy the murder, which made Su Changzhi who was present change his complexion, but Lin Chenwei didn't care much about this, what he cared about was: How to catch Zhou Qiang and recover such a huge economic loss, 270 million, which can be evenly distributed to every steel plant employee, can have more than 20,000.
After learning the news of Zhou Qiang's absconding, Lin Chenwan was repentant, and he had long known that Zhou Qiang had a problem, but first, he was forced to have no strong evidence, and secondly, at the critical time of the restructuring of Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant, he didn't want to cause more trouble, otherwise Zhou Qiang should have been controlled a long time ago.
Strictly speaking, the current regulatory mechanism in China is very problematic, either involving multiple departments passing the buck to each other, or there is supervision without supervision, and supervision is in vain, and often the problems will not surface until the people involved in the case have absconded with a large number of money.
Although Wang Gang's affairs are bad, they are trivial compared to Zhou Qiang, and they are not worth mentioning, but under the cover of the halo of Wang Gang's case, Zhou Qiang's escape is not so eye-catching, and even under the instructions of relevant personnel and departments, the news is like a stone thrown into the water, just a trivial ripple.
Taking a few pages in Su Changzhi's hand and flipping through them casually, they were all about Wang Gang's case, Lin Chen put them aside in a hurry, and asked, "Is there no news of Zhou Qiang?"
Hearing the mention of Zhou Qiang, the smile on Su Changzhi's face also faded a lot, "I have found out the underground channels for them to launder money out of the country, but it is not certain whether it is Canada or New Zealand yet, but Zhou Qiang's son Zhou Xianmin is studying in Australia, I believe that as long as you keep an eye on him, you will be able to find out Zhou Qiang sooner or later,"
Lin Chenwan shook his head, according to his estimates, Zhou Qiang most likely fled to Canada, Canada has not signed an extradition treaty with China, therefore, it is the first choice for many corrupt officials to flee abroad, Lai Xingchang, the main culprit of the Guangsha extraordinarily large smuggling case that shocked China and foreign countries, also fled to this place, and so far the country has no way to take him, if Zhou Qiang also fled to this place, it is really not easy to get him back.
"Don't worry too much, it's a big deal to find a few people to tie him back when the time comes," Su Changzhi said with a big grin, in his opinion, as long as he finds someone, he is afraid that he will not be able to get him back.
Lin Chenwan was not so optimistic as him, but he didn't mention the topic again, but asked, "What about the factory, everything is going well,"
As soon as he learned that Zhou Qiang had absconded, Lin Chenwei arranged for the establishment of a joint investigation team composed of public security, auditing, finance and other departments, led by Su Changzhi, and stationed in the Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant to comprehensively guide and arrange the work and rectify and investigate the whole plant.
"It's going well, it's all going well, and the municipal party committee and municipal government are also very supportive, but this time, it's making people panic, and everyone is afraid that it will affect the restructuring process of the steel plant," Su Changzhi said a little depressed, watching Lin Chendui do things, as soon as he gets right, how can it be his turn, it is so difficult to make some achievements, everyone is the same son, why is the gap so big.
"Well, the more this time, the more we must let the workers maintain confidence," Lin Chenwan rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice: "When you have time, you can organize some worker activities or training, etc., the factory is suspended, but you can't let the workers be idle, the more idle they are, the more panicked they are, but it is easy to have accidents,"
Su Changzhi nodded slightly, Lin Chendui's point of view coincided with his.
The mobile phone on the coffee table sounded a pleasant bird cry, it was a text message, and Lin Chenwan frowned slightly after looking at it.
Su Changzhi couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and asked, "What's going on again?"
Lin Chenwei said: "It's nothing, Mr. He of Hong Kong Guoxing Group is going to come to Wuxi tomorrow and plans to invest 1.7 billion yuan to build the largest glass factory in Asia in the high-tech zone,"
"This is a good thing," Su Changzhi suddenly became excited, 17 billion, that is not a small amount, although it is not as good as the tens of billions of steel city project, it is also a large-scale project, after coming to Wuxi to serve as the deputy director of the management committee, he also ran around, wanting to pull some projects, not to let Lin Chenwan specialize in the front, but let him say that he broke his mouth, but with little effect, the largest is only a few hundred million, but there is not a single billion project, how did he get to Lin Chendui here, but others rushed to the door.
But then, he couldn't help but wonder again: "Hong Kong Guoxing Group, isn't it the same company that was ready to cooperate with us to develop the Steel City project last time, but finally changed its mind?"
"Yes, it's this company, saying that it is guilty and wants to make up for it through this project," Lin Chenwan waved his hand and said, "I think tomorrow I will be arranged by you, I still have something to do,"
It's not that he deliberately set up a score, but something really happened, he received a call from Wei Tong in the morning, saying that he would go to Wuxi with some other business celebrities in the capital tomorrow to inspect the market and look for business opportunities, and jokingly called it a 10 billion delegation, because the net worth of these people has exceeded 10 billion, Lin Chenwan naturally did not dare to slack off, and was ready to let Tang Ning accompany him to receive it.
Su Changzhi muttered: "Okay, I'll explain the matter of the steel plant and go to the airport tomorrow to pick up the airport," but he was thinking in his heart: can Guoxing Group change its mind and reconsider the steel city project,
