On the morning of the second day, the Standing Committee of the Baining County Party Committee convened again.
This meeting of the County Party Committee Standing Committee was held based on the proposal of County Magistrate Su Zhiwei.
Su Zhiwei communicated with Han Renqiang in person last night about the underground casino in Lijiacun. Han Renqiang expressed opposition on the spot. In the past, Su Zhiwei might have chosen to compromise for the sake of the overall stability of Baining County, but this time, Su Zhiwei was very firm and would definitely
To capture the underground casino in Lijiacun.
Han Renqiang did not expect that Su Zhiwei would be so tough this time, so he said directly and coldly: "In that case, let's hold a standing committee meeting tomorrow. We still have to listen to more voices."
Su Zhiwei was uncompromising: "Okay, then we will convene a standing committee meeting tomorrow morning to resolve this matter."
The atmosphere between the two was tense for a moment, but neither one had any intention of backing down.
And that very night, the two of them communicated with some members of the county committee's standing committee, hoping to gain support from the other party.
The Standing Committee was formally convened, and Han Renqiang chaired the meeting. Han Renqiang asked Su Zhiwei to briefly explain the underground casino in Lijiacun. After Su Zhiwei explained all Liu Haotian's views one by one, he said in a deep voice: "Comrades, Lijiacun's
The underground casino is getting bigger and bigger, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger. It has become a cancer on the ground of the Economic Development Zone Management Committee. Comrade Liu Haotian hates it deeply and is determined to eradicate this underground casino completely. I have this
Very supportive."
After Su Zhiwei finished speaking, Cui Zhengze stood up again and said in a serious tone: "County Magistrate Su, you and I have some disagreements.
First of all, we have to admit that the existence of underground casinos in Lijia Village is indeed illegal, but I don't agree with how much harm it has caused to our Baining County.
Moreover, these underground casinos opened in Lijiacun were opened in the name of a wood processing factory and paid millions in taxes to our county every year. This fully shows that the people of Lijiacun are not ignorant.
And all of us know that casinos are something that if they were not opened here in Lijiacun, they would definitely be opened in other places. Although this is not a rigid need, it just caters to the needs of many people.
Especially now, we ordinary people are living a better life and have spare money in our hands, so we need entertainment and consumption. Although it is illegal to open underground casinos, it solves the employment problem of the villagers in Lijiacun to a certain extent.
Moreover, Lijiacun did not live alone. They did make money by opening underground casinos, but we can't be jealous, because they also pay taxes. Millions of taxes are paid every year, isn't it just to seek peace? Moreover,
Since the underground casino in Lijia Village was opened, no major incidents have occurred. People will not take action and officials will not investigate. This is an unspoken rule."
Just when Cui Zhengze said this, Liu Haotian slammed the table, stood up, pointed at the tip of Cui Zhengze's nose across the oval conference table, and said with grief and anger: "Cui Zhengze, you old guy, you still
It's shameless. You keep saying that people don't hold officials accountable, but let me ask you, do you know Wang Cuizhu and do you know her husband?
Don't tell me that you don't know her. Many documents in our Baining County, including on the Internet, have recorded the fact that you personally introduced Wang Cuizhu and her husband as an investor to our Baining County.
Cui Zhengze, don’t you know how Wang Cuizhu’s husband died? Didn’t Wang Cuizhu give you feedback over and over again that her husband fell into the trap set by the gambling syndicates in Lijiacun and ended up in trouble?
A matter of losing everything?
Didn't Wang Cuizhu ask you again and again to intervene in this matter?
How did you, old man, do it? You didn't even give a shit! Those are the investors you personally brought in!
Now, Wang Cuizhu’s husband is dead, and Wang Cuizhu is struggling to raise her two children, but is constantly being called for debts by the Lijiacun Gambling Group. Not only do you not care, but you turn a blind eye, especially now, our Economic Development Zone Management Committee plans to
We started to rectify the gambling syndicate in Lijiacun, but you put in good words for them and vowed to say that the people will not punish the officials and they will not be punished. How thick-skinned is this old face of yours? Are you staring at me?
Are your eyes telling lies? Didn’t Wang Cuizhu report it?
He reported it to you, the executive deputy county magistrate, but you turned a blind eye and even tried to suppress the matter. Is this considered dereliction of duty?"
Liu Haotian was so angry at what Cui Zhengze said just now that he even called out the old man. Liu Haotian really didn't expect that Cui Zhengze could be so shameless.
Therefore, he no longer held back, and directly stood up and pointed at the tip of Cui Zhengze's nose to challenge him.
This is the real Liu Haotian! There is no sand in his eyes.
Cui Zhengze looked at Liu Haotian coldly and said: "Liu Haotian, do you know the true situation of the matter? Don't just listen to others' random nagging. Let me tell you, things are far more complicated than you think."
Liu Haotian sneered and said: "No matter how complicated it is, how complicated can it be?
Cui Zhengze, do you know that Wang Cuizhu and her two children have been kidnapped by people from the Lijiacun Gambling Group and taken to Lijiacun. As the director of the Economic Development Zone Management Committee, I personally took two deputy directors to Lijiacun to ask for their help.
However, the village chief of Lijia Village directly ignored the village committee and did not cooperate with our work at all. So, may I ask Comrade Cui Zhengze, where is the dignity of our economic development zone management committee?
Excuse me, what is the relationship between Dabao and the gambling syndicate in Lijia Village?
Excuse me, as the executive deputy county magistrate of Baining County and in charge of the Public Security Bureau, when faced with a woman and two children being kidnapped by a gambling syndicate, what should you do?
If, as you just said, you keep saying that your home improvement gambling group paid taxes in the name of a lumber factory, then I would like to ask, since you know the actual situation but ignore it, does this count for you?
Does dereliction of duty count as omission?"
Liu Haotian asked several questions in succession, leaving Cui Zhengze speechless.
At this time, Yang Hongda, director of the County Party Committee Office, raised his head and said: "Secretary Liu, don't be excited, and be patient. Regarding the underground casino in Lijiacun, we should look at it in two. From a negative perspective,
The existence of underground casinos does have certain factors of instability, and it is indeed illegal. There is no problem with this.
But, Comrade Liu Haotian, do you know how many people there are in Lijia Village? 1,600 people. 80% of them are members of the Li clan. This is a huge clan and a very united clan. If we really
If we want to forcibly attack the underground casino in Lijiacun, we will most likely confront the Li clan directly. Will it cause social unrest, will it trigger mass incidents, and once such an incident occurs, who will bear the consequences?
.Can you, Liu Haotian, afford it?
Do you think the county committee doesn’t know about this? I can tell you clearly that the county committee has known about this for a long time. The reason why it has not taken action is because our GDP level in Baining County is already ranked third in the city, and we are now in
During the period of rapid economic development, we need to focus all our energy on economic development and construction. Although the underground casino in Lijiacun is like ringworm on the skin, it is indeed uncomfortable to have it, but it does not affect the survival and development of the whole person.
development, not to mention that they are still making a considerable contribution to the finance of our Baining County?
Since the United States can tolerate the existence of casinos like Las Vegas, why can't we open a small opening appropriately and let Lijiacun make its own characteristics? Although this kind of characteristics may indeed have some legal problems, but that is
Based on the premise that they evaded taxes, now that Lijiacun pays taxes honestly, why do we have to beat them to death with a stick?"
After hearing this, Liu Haotian couldn't help laughing: "Who else holds this view? Could you please stand up? If you are a man, please stand up and let me, Liu Haotian, take a look. I really want to take a look. Our Baining County still has
How many people like Cui Zhengze and Yang Hongda can confuse black and white?"
Speaking of this, Liu Haotian pointed at Cui Zhengze and Yang Hongda and said: "You are really thick-skinned to a certain extent. You are completely confusing right and wrong. You can blatantly say something that violates laws and disciplines."
Where is your party spirit and where are your principles? Is this how you serve the people?
Haven't you seen or heard that the investors Cui Zhengze personally attracted fell into the trap set by the Lijiacun Gambling Group and ended up going bankrupt? Don't you know that Wang Cuizhu brought two children and a suicide note,
Did he commit suicide by taking poison at the door of our Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee?
Haven't you seen the huge crisis hidden behind this matter?
You keep saying that you are not moving against the Lijiacun Gambling Group for the sake of the overall stability of Baining County, but do you know how many incidents similar to Wang Cuizhu's family have happened?
Perhaps their incidents are isolated incidents, or they may not be able to form an effective organization to express their dissatisfaction. However, as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee of Baining County, there are cancers like the Lijiacun Gambling Group on the ground in Baining County.
existence, you can actually sit there and openly talk about the contributions they have made to our Baiyinxian. You two, my admiration for you is like a torrential river, continuous, and like the Yellow River overflowing, which can be out of control.
You two, I really want to pick up my leather shoes and slap you two hard in the mouth!
This is what I, Liu Haotian, really think at this moment!"
