"Please come in." Peng Yuanzheng's familiar and steady baritone voice came from inside.
Guo Weiquan pushed the door open and entered.
Li Mingran sat on the sofa and laughed: "Come on, Lao Guo, I was telling County Magistrate Peng that I would treat him to dinner tonight and congratulate Magistrate Peng. His wife gave birth to a pair of twins. This is a great event.
Must celebrate!”
Guo Weiquan also smiled: "There must be a celebration. I will also participate in the evening. I will ask Sister Yan later and let's congratulate County Magistrate Peng together!"
Peng Yuanzheng laughed loudly: "It's okay for everyone to get together and have a meal. Forget about celebrating or something. Okay, let's not talk about this first, let's talk about work first!"
Peng Yuanzheng turned to look at Guo Weiquan and motioned for him to sit down first.
Guo Weiquan did not sit down immediately, but grabbed a cigarette from Peng Yuanzheng's desk, took out one and lit it, then took a deep breath, sat down and said: "County Magistrate Peng, everything is normal here, except for the recent project.
In this area, Secretary Han asked Dong Yong to intervene, and there was a small problem."
Peng Yuanzheng said oh, and suddenly interjected: "Lao Guo, does the new material base project occupy more land than planned? Our plan is to build 200 acres of land, but I went to see it in the afternoon
, it doesn’t feel right.”
Peng Yuanzheng took the initiative to pierce this layer of paper because he knew that it would be difficult for Guo Weiquan to say something. In this case, it was better to clarify it himself.
Guo Weiquan raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Yes, County Magistrate Peng, I was just about to report this to you. Now that you are back. Just in time!"
"The project plan, including the cooperation agreement between us and Jiangnan Company, allocates 200 acres of land, but Dong Yong did not discuss it with me and agreed to Jiangnan Company without any formalities, allocating an additional 50 acres of land.
Go out. I don’t agree. Dong Yong slaps Secretary Han
banner. I went to Han Ji and said that the project plan can be fine-tuned at any time. Since the company has a demand for this land, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the entire project, an appropriate opening can be made. As for the procedures, they can be made later. Now, Dong Yong is in charge of running the project.
Procedures for another 50 acres of land.”
Peng Yuanzheng's face darkened.
Of course, the project plan is not fixed, and it is reasonable to make fine adjustments as the situation changes - even expanding the project land is not impossible, but when setting the construction land, Peng Yuanzheng also solicited the opinions of Jiangnan Company
, fully considering the mid- to long-term development space of this project.
The reason why the upper limit of 200 acres of land is defined is because there needs to be a buffer zone between construction sites and production areas and basic farmland, otherwise it will easily cause pollution to farmland. This is also a matter of policy regulation.
According to Peng Yuanzheng’s understanding of Han Wei, this matter was basically the result of Dong Yong, an outsider in the construction of the project, who thought he was right and made the decision without authorization - except that Dong Yong is currently controlled by Han Wei and is a pawn placed in the county government team.
, Han Wei must certainly support Dong Yong’s work.
In fact, if you speculate with a villain's heart, you will definitely come up with an infuriating result: Dong Yong must have accepted benefits from the company. Only then did he break the rules.
Of course, Peng Yuanzheng would not say these words.
He had been thinking calmly, while Guo Weiquan and Li Mingran waited silently for his final decision.
After a while, Peng Yuanzheng looked up at Guo Weiquan and said solemnly: "Old Guo, who is in charge of this project at Jiangnan Company?"
"Geng Bing, the son of Geng Xiuyan, the boss of Jiangnan Company, also serves as the general manager of Xin'an New Materials Company." Guo Weiquan said softly.
"How is this guy?"
"It's okay, just a little slippery."
"Contact Geng Bing immediately. Ask him to come to the county government and have a formal talk with him. Tell him the county government's clear attitude: the construction of the project must be carried out in accordance with the agreement and project planning plan signed by Jiangnan Company and the county government, and the land must be occupied.
It must be controlled within 200 acres, and the 50 acres they illegally enclosed must be withdrawn immediately!"
Peng Yuanzheng waved his hand solemnly.
Guo Weiquan hesitated, "Isn't this too direct?"
"Just talk to them like this. This is a principle, you can't open this hole." Peng Yuanzheng smiled coldly, "If there is a problem, let him come to me!"
…
Guo Weiquan immediately called Geng Bing. Geng Bing knocked on the door casually and entered Guo Weiquan's office. Not long after, the clerk of the county office outside heard the noise coming from Guo Weiquan's office.
Huo Guangming frowned and emerged from the office, glanced at it, and waved his hand, signaling to the clerks who were sneaking around in the corridor listening to the excitement to go back and get back to their places, so as not to offend the county leaders.
"County Magistrate Guo, what you are doing is so unkind. We are not occupying land randomly, but your county has agreed to it. Without the signature of County Magistrate Dong, how dare we occupy land randomly? Besides, this land belongs to your county.
It was brought here!"
Geng Bing waved his arms angrily, "You want us to withdraw now, how can we withdraw? You are the people's government, how can you go back on your word?"
Guo Weiquan remained calm and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Geng, your application has not been approved by the county government. Such a major land use matter cannot be approved without the consent of the main leaders of the county government and the review of the county magistrate's office meeting. As for you
It is said that it was signed by County Magistrate Dong, but I can tell you clearly that Magistrate Dong is neither the main leader of the county government nor the leader in charge, and his signature does not have administrative effect."
Geng Bing's face turned red, but he hesitated slightly.
Generally speaking, it is rare for a deputy county magistrate to publicly say that the signature of another deputy magistrate is not valid. This is probably not a metaphor for personal conflicts, but represents a change in the power structure.
At this point, Geng Bing suddenly realized an important point: Could it be that Peng Yuanzheng, the young county magistrate of a neighboring county who was said to be very powerful, had returned?
When Geng Bing negotiated cooperation with neighboring counties on behalf of Jiangnan Company, it was Guo Weiquan who came forward, followed by Dong Yong. As for the county magistrate Peng Yuanzheng, he had never met him. He only heard about it from the county people after he came to the county.
Some "anecdotes" and "legendary stories" about Peng Yuanzheng.
"County Magistrate Guo, I don't care which of your magistrates signs it. Anyway, I have Magistrate Dong's instructions in my hand. Magistrate Dong is now helping us run the land procedures. Isn't this true?" Geng Bing asked lightly.
, "If it doesn't work, I'll find your County Magistrate Peng!"
Guo Weiquan immediately followed suit: "Mr. Geng, go ahead. County Magistrate Peng is in the office and he also wants to talk to you."
Geng Bing was startled, then frowned.
Geng Bing turned around and left Guo Weiquan's office, but on the way, he turned around and entered Dong Yong's office. Dong Yong had actually received the news that Peng Yuanzheng had returned to the county, but he never expected that Peng Yuanzheng would move so quickly.
——The buttocks started to move even before they were warmed up by sitting.
Listening to Geng Bing's complaint, Dong Yong smiled coldly: "Mr. Geng, don't worry about anything. I signed and agreed to your application for land expansion - who said my signature is not easy to use? Who said I am not the leader in charge?
?The project I am arresting you for was decided by the county committee, not me personally!"
"With Secretary Han nodding his head, no one can deny this matter."
Dong Yong's words were "a sure shot", but Geng Bing was still a little uneasy after hearing this. Somehow, he always felt that Dong Yong was unreliable. Even the so-called Han Wei behind Dong Yong was not sure whether he was reliable or not.
Reliable.
"Oh, if that's the case, then I'll go talk to your County Magistrate Peng. Really, if there's no such thing, Guo Weiquan suddenly came to me and ordered us to retreat. I was so angry." Geng Bing muttered.
, turned around and left.
Looking at Geng Bing's leaving figure, Dong Yong's face darkened. He hesitated for a moment, picked up the phone and called Han Wei's office, but no one answered.
Dong Yong became a little restless. He waited for a while and continued to call, but no one answered. He gritted his teeth and called Han Wei's office in the city, but still no one answered.
Dong Yong walked around the office distractedly. He was worried that Peng Yuanzheng would take action, but he was only the deputy county magistrate and was unable to resist the pressure of the top county leaders. He could only rely on Han Wei to check and balance.
…
Geng Bing knocked on the door and entered Peng Yuanzheng's office. After entering, he looked at Peng Yuanzheng carefully and was secretly surprised to see that Peng Yuanzheng was so young.
"Mr. Geng, please take a seat." Peng Yuanzheng stood up with a smile to let the guests go. No matter what, Jiangnan Company is an investor in major projects in the county, a guest and a collaborator.
Geng Bing smiled and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate Peng. Magistrate Peng, I am a straightforward person, so I won't be polite. I have something to ask Magistrate Peng for your advice."
Peng Yuanzheng also smiled: "Mr. Geng, please tell me, you are an important investment partner of the county. If you have requests, the county will try its best to satisfy you. Of course, it must be reasonable, legal and in line with policy requirements."
Geng Bing was not polite, and directly told him about occupying 50 more acres of land. His voice was a little angry, but it was mostly a pretense. As he spoke, he quietly observed Peng Yuanzheng's expression, and saw that he was very angry.
He was calm and composed, but inexplicably felt a little vigilant in his heart.
"Mr. Geng, first let me explain: I asked County Magistrate Guo to come to talk to you. To be honest, judging from the design scale of your project, 200 acres of land is enough. This extra 50 acres does not comply with the policy.
According to regulations, we must withdraw - Mr. Geng, you must understand our difficulties. Industrial projects will produce corresponding pollution. If they are too close to basic farmland, we cannot explain to the farmers."
"This is a principle. We cannot give in." Peng Yuanzheng's voice was firm and powerful.
"County Magistrate Dong..." Before Geng Bing could finish his words, he was immediately interrupted by Peng Yuanzheng: "Dong Yong did not ask for my opinion and did not go to the county magistrate's office meeting for collective discussion. He made the decision without authorization, which is not in compliance with organizational procedures.
This is a very irresponsible behavior. The county government will correct his behavior immediately and give your company an explanation."
Geng Bing opened his mouth and was about to retort, but heard Peng Yuanzheng say again: "I can make you a promise here. If your project requires land in the future, the county government will give priority to approval!"
