Hearing Cao Kunpeng's question, Mr. Zhang said with respect on his face: "Director Cao, the guests here are top investors from the United States, Europe and Japan. They are distinguished guests from our province.
, Secretary Du specifically instructed us to do a good job in receiving these guests, because the province attaches great importance to these guests."
Cao Kunpeng frowned when he heard this.
He could finally see that the reason why Mr. Zhang was so unscrupulous and did not put Cao Kunpeng in his eyes was because his action was probably authorized by Du Mingzhe.
At least it has something to do with Du Mingzhe. Coupled with the huge reputation of being a guest from the province, he will not take himself seriously at all.
Anger was rising in Cao Kunpeng's heart, but he also knew that with his status, there was probably no way he could make Mr. Zhang open his eyes.
Cao Kunpeng was full of anxiety, because he had already reported it very clearly to Liu Haotian, and repeatedly expressed to Liu Haotian that there would be no surprises at this cruise symposium.
But now, something unexpected happened at the critical moment when the cruise symposium was about to be held. The cruise symposium could not be held. The consequences were very serious.
Because in half an hour, the elites in the business world will probably arrive.
Even now, Cao Kunpeng has seen that at least four business elites are standing on the dock and looking towards him.
It was obvious that the negotiation between him and Zhang Lintao had been noticed by everyone, and he had even become a joke in the eyes of these elite businessmen.
Cao Kunpeng was full of disgust and hatred for Zhang Lintao.
Just when Cao Kunpeng was at his wits' end, he heard a voice that he wanted to hear but didn't want to hear: "Old Cao, what happened?"
This familiar voice made Cao Kunpeng shivered smartly. He turned around and found that his immediate boss, the mayor of Xilin City, Liu Haotian, was standing behind him.
Cao Kunpeng was suddenly so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but the situation was now beyond his control. Cao Kunpeng could only stand in front of Liu Haotian with an apologetic and embarrassed look on his face, and said with some shame: "Mayor Liu, I'm sorry, you
I didn't do the things I was told well..."
Later, Cao Kunpeng reported the situation at the scene to Liu Haotian.
Liu Haotian listened very carefully, then slowly raised his head, his eyes fell on Zhang Lintao's face: "Mr. Zhang, right?"
Zhang Lintao smiled and nodded: "Hello, Mayor Liu, I am Zhang Lintao."
Liu Haotian smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with what Director Cao just said, right?"
Zhang Lintao nodded: "No problem, Mayor Liu. All mistakes this time belong to our Xilin City Cruise Company. We are willing to double the amount paid by the city government office."
At this moment, there were five more people behind Liu Haotian. These five people were all business elites from all walks of life. They were all here to participate in this cruise symposium.
Originally, when they saw Liu Haotian coming, they wanted to come over and say hello to Liu Haotian first, but they didn't expect this to happen.
Everyone's eyes fell on Liu Haotian's face.
Some people feel a little more disdain for Liu Haotian, and even think that it is impossible for Liu Haotian to reverse the situation at hand. Some people want to see how Liu Haotian will deal with this matter.
Liu Haotian stared at Zhang Lintao and said word by word: "Mr. Zhang, let me ask you one last question. Can the Qingyun cruise ship reserved by our Donglin City Government Office be handed over to us before the agreed time?
.”
Zhang Lintao could tell that Liu Haotian was giving him an ultimatum. Zhang Yuntao knew that Liu Haotian was the mayor of Xilin City, but his backer was Du Mingzhe, the Party Secretary of Xilin City.
He has chosen a side.
Therefore, facing Liu Haotian's ultimatum, Zhang Lintao did not have any fear, but said with a smile: "Mayor Liu, I have just said that our Xilin City Cruise Company has signed an agreement with distinguished investors from foreign countries.
According to the relevant cruise ship rental agreement, all cruise ships are dispatched and used by them. We have no way to hand over the cruise ships to you anymore.
We are willing to pay you double the compensation as stipulated in the contract."
After listening, Liu Haotian nodded gently: "Okay, I understand what you mean."
After saying that, Liu Haotian took out his mobile phone and started playing with it.
The atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward at this time.
Everyone could see that Liu Haotian seemed to be at odds with Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang didn't take Liu Haotian seriously at all. After Liu Haotian said another ultimatum, he didn't seem to show any sign, but suddenly played
When he picked up his cell phone, what did he want to do?
Everyone was very puzzled, even Cao Kunpeng was full of doubts.
However, Liu Haotian did not pay attention to the eyes of the people around him, but continued to fiddle with his mobile phone. After more than 5 minutes, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Liu Haotian's mouth, and then he looked directly at Cao Kunpeng and said: "Director Cao
, who will manage our cruise ship on the Xilin River?"
Although Cao Kunpeng didn't understand why Liu Haotian had this question, he still replied: "It should be under the management of the Water Conservancy Bureau. And as far as I know, our Xilin River cruise ship operation project is determined by the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau through bidding.
"
Liu Haotian nodded slightly: "It seems that Director Cao's memory is pretty good. I checked just now and found that the operating authority for the Xilin River cruise ship is indeed made public by our Xilin Water Conservancy Bureau through the bidding for the application rights.
Competitively recruited.
The time was 6 years ago! And the contract was signed for 5 years!
In other words, now, the operation contract between Xilin City Cruise Company and our Xilin City Water Conservancy Bureau has long expired, and the city has expressly stipulated that such large-scale public projects must be determined through bidding.
On the Internet, I did not see any relevant content about the second phase of bidding for this project.
In other words, the current operations of Xilin City Cruise Company are illegal operations."
Speaking of this, Liu Haotian looked directly at Cao Kunpeng and said: "Director Cao, please immediately notify all surrounding civilian cruise ships. From now on, all civilian cruise ships can officially start operations.
Of course, in the future, all cruise ships on the Xilin River will adopt the industrial and commercial registration mechanism. All companies and individuals that already own cruise ships can go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register and go to the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau to register for cruise ship operation qualifications.
However, all cruise ships must adopt a route registration system, and the travel time of all cruise ships must strictly follow the prescribed routes to prevent collisions and other unsafe incidents."
Zhang Lintao immediately looked at Liu Haotian with anger and said: "Mayor Liu, you can't do this, because according to the agreement we signed with Xilin City, our Xilin City Cruise Company has priority in acquiring the entire Xilin and all
Qualification for cruise ship operating rights. If you cancel our qualification, you are breaking the law and we can appeal to the province."
Liu Haotian nodded gently: "Mr. Zhang, you are right, your company does have the right to obtain operating rights first under the same circumstances.
But now, I can tell you clearly that the Xilin River is the work of all the people in Xilin City, and it is not the river of the Xilin City Water Conservancy Bureau.
The Xining Water Conservancy Bureau cannot make profits by taking the people's things and ultimately use them as a source of funds for their department to issue internal benefits.
They are even less qualified to let the people of Xilin City act according to the face of the operating company, especially those who privately operate cruise ships. Not only do they have to pay protection fees to your Xilin City Cruise Ship Company to obtain operating qualifications, but their operating routes also depend on you.
You should act with your face in mind, and your interests should be the main priority. You eat meat, and the common people can only drink some soup.
Before I served as the mayor of Xilin City, I was not qualified to intervene in this situation. But now, since I am the mayor of Xilin City, I can clearly tell you here that from now on, all cruise ships on the Xilin River will
The operation will no longer be determined by the Xilin Water Conservancy Bureau through bidding to determine a certain cruise company to obtain this operating qualification.
This kind of behavior is taking advantage of the people and is not in line with the original intention of serving the people.
In fact, this behavior is similar to our Xilin City Traffic and Transportation Management Department. They manage the operation of thousands of taxis in our Xilin City. They have restricted the number of taxis. Originally this was a good policy.
However, because they have limited the number of taxis, this has led to a high level of taxi operation. To qualify for this operation, you have to earn at least hundreds of thousands.
In sharp contrast, they have managed the operation of online car-hailing very poorly. Although Xilin City strictly limits the number of taxis to 7,000, the number of online-hailing cars is as high as 25,000 or even
30,000 vehicles.
However, online ride-hailing platforms do not require any operating license.
The most serious problem is that our transportation management department in Xilin City strictly regulates taxis, but it supervises and ignores online taxis. There are so many online taxis operating without licenses.
Regarding this situation, our Xilin City has not come up with effective methods to manage it. From this perspective, the Xilin City Transportation Management Department has serious dereliction of duty."
Having said this, Liu Haotian turned to Cao Kunpeng and said: "Director Cao, remember to remind me tomorrow morning that all leaders at the deputy section level and above of the transportation management department should be notified to attend the enlarged meeting at the city hall, and at the same time let the deputy mayor in charge
The president and all online ride-hailing platforms will participate in this meeting. The online ride-hailing platforms must send someone at the general manager level to attend, otherwise they will be responsible for the consequences.”
After finishing speaking, Liu Haotian looked at Zhang Lintao: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I was a little off topic just now, but I believe you should already understand what I mean, since the contract between your company and Xilin Water Conservancy Bureau has expired
Okay, so now, your Xilin City Cruise Company is actually operating illegally, and has been operating illegally for as long as a year. This kind of behavior is very bad in nature.
I will ask the Water Conservancy Bureau to provide an explanation to the city government. If they cannot provide an explanation, I believe the leadership of the Water Conservancy Bureau needs to be replaced."
