Liu Qingyu glanced at Zhang Zhigang coldly, and then continued: "Okay, since Comrade Zhang Zhigang agrees with my point of view, then I want to ask you, like ours in Lanshan City, how to directly and crudely transfer the water plant to If it is sold to a foreign company at a premium, who will benefit in the end? We might as well analyze it. On the surface, the total assets of the Lanshan City Waterworks are only about 50 million. This is what the Lanshan City hired at the time. It was evaluated by professional appraisers. In the end, Lanshan City sold it for more than 200 million. On the surface, it seemed to be a 4 times premium. Lanshan City made a profit.
But is it really profitable? Apart from anything else, in my opinion, the land for the four water plants alone can be bought for more than 200 million. To be honest, if If I were a visionary commercial real estate developer, then if I were to spend 1.2 billion to buy the land of these four water plants, I would be willing to buy it, because if I were to develop it, then the land of these four water plants would be The profit that can be generated definitely exceeds 3 billion yuan. This is just a conservative estimate. If you take it lightly, it is easy to earn 50 to 6 billion yuan. However, Lanshan City uses the so-called premium as a gimmick. I just couldn't figure it out and even thought it was a bit ridiculous to sell it for 200 million yuan. Is there any essential difference between this approach and deceiving others?"
"Of course there is a difference." Zhang Zhigang replied again without hesitation: "Mayor Liu, the reason why Lanshan City did not take the land factor into account when selling the water plant was to avoid increasing the number of people in Lanshan City. Burden, because the higher the price the water plant sells, the higher the cost will ultimately be passed on to the people, and the people will ultimately have to pay the bill."
Zhang Zhigang expressed an idea that on the surface sounded to be dedicated to the people.
Liu Qingyu couldn't help but sneered: "Comrade Zhang Zhigang, if it is what you said, can our Lanshan City Government sell all market-oriented public utilities to foreigners or domestic companies at ultra-low prices?" At that time, companies will only need a simple and crude reason to avoid increasing the burden on the people. Do you think your explanation is tenable? Don’t forget, our Lanshan City Waterworks sells It only holds 70% of the shares, and the American Weili Water Company has 51% of the controlling rights. When they resell it in the future, do you think they will consider that Lanshan City gave away the land for free? Is it for them? They only need to sell it and get billions of net profits. This does not include the profits they have earned in the high-profit industry of the water plant itself over the years.
I was very confused whether Lanshan City was really thinking about the people when it did this, and whether it was really worried that the people would be overburdened. Even if they had this idea at the time, what was the final result? People in Lanshan City still have to increase their water bills by a minimum of 30 cents per ton every year. Moreover, according to the contract signed between Lanshan City and Weili Water Industry, the price increase formula signed in the contract is not based on the 30 cents per ton per year. This kind of increase is calculated based on the local living standards and price levels and many other factors. I just checked the water company's prices for this year today. Compared with last year, the increase is not just 30 cents, but 30 cents. 8 cents, and if calculated according to the price company, the tap water price in Lanshan City will probably increase by about 50 cents next year. Moreover, according to the contract signed between Lanshan City and Weiye Company, Lanshan City has no qualifications to control it. Supervise the price increase of Weili Water Industry.
In other words, the Lanshan City Waterworks has completely escaped the supervision of the Lanshan City Municipal Government and has completely become the private property of the American company. In other words, in more serious terms, even if the American company goes to this place every day Some chronic genetic agents are added to tap water, and the Lanshan City Government has no temper to take advantage of it without any evidence."
When Liu Qingyu said this, Chu Guocai's face had become quite ugly, and Zhang Zhigang's momentum had weakened a lot. He could no longer refute Liu Qingyu, because what Liu Qingyu said It has indeed happened.
Liu Qingyu glanced coldly at Zhang Zhigang, who was sweating on his forehead, and then said: "Secretary Chu, we might as well take a look at the contract signed between Lanshan City and Weili Water Industry."
With that said, Liu Qingyu took out a copy of the contract and handed it to Chu Guocai. After Chu Guocai read it, Liu Qingyu said: "Secretary Chu, I believe you should have seen it. Although Lanshan The city sold the water plant to the American Weili Water Company. However, the contract clearly stated that the American Weili Water Company was not responsible for maintaining the water supply network system. It only did one thing, that is, it only needed The water price can be adjusted at any time based on commodity prices and income levels. He does not care how the entire Lanshan City such a large water network is maintained and renovated. According to the contract, this most expensive piece of business is to be handled by our Lanshan City Municipal Government. Made.
Of course, if our Lanshan City Municipal Government asks Weili Water Industry to do it, people will say that all the costs of network renovation will be reflected in the water price. By then, the water price in Lanshan City will not only increase by a few cents. It’s simple, but it will be repeated two or three times. By that time, the people will inevitably be excited. Who will be under the greatest pressure then is our municipal government. Therefore, if the current contract is implemented in accordance with the current contract, our Lanshan City Municipal Government will The government can only swallow its anger like a little daughter-in-law, doing all the dirty work and hard work, while what is it doing in American companies? They are only responsible for making money."
Having said this, Liu Qingyu suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "Secretary Chu, I am now the mayor of Lanshan City. Whoever is willing to execute this contract will execute it. I, Liu Qingyu, will not execute it. So, What's the difference between the contract and the fucking Shimonoseki Treaty? It's impossible for me, Liu Qingyu, to recognize this contract."
Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu's mood became even more intense. He looked at Chu Guocai and said, "Secretary Chu, I really want to find out the person in charge of signing this contract with the American company and slap him hard. He is a big talker. I want to ask him if he knows whether there are hostile Western forces at present. If he clearly knows that hostile Western forces exist and still wants to hand over the decision-making power of the life and death of the Chinese nation to the West, what on earth is he doing? For what consideration, for whom, who must put the Chinese nation to death in order to feel safe for future generations? Is there any difference between their behavior and Qin Hui's?"
Secretary Chu was silent after listening to Liu Qingyu's hoarse roar.
He can understand the raging anger deep in Liu Qingyu's heart at this moment, because at this moment, he, the secretary of the provincial party committee, who will not easily cause trouble for anything, is also burning raging deep in his heart. .
Although some things Liu Qingyu said were a bit exaggerated, and even a bit unfounded, he had to admit that although Liu Qingyu's concerns were too long-term, they were definitely targeted. After all, tap water in the United States and France is now The industry will never tolerate foreign intervention, and the tap water in the United States is managed by the military.
Chu Guocai is the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and the issues he has to consider are much further than Liu Qingyu. If Liu Qingyu’s fierce statement at this moment is looking at the problem from the perspective of the new mayor of Lanshan City, then When Chu Guocai considers the problem, he must consider it from the perspective of the provincial party committee secretary, because he knows very well that no matter what the reason is, since Lanshan City has signed a relevant contract with the American Weiye Group, then there are When it comes to contract issues, as a local government, we must abide by the spirit of the contract. Otherwise, with the usual arrogance and caution of American companies, they will definitely sue Lanshan City and even Jixiang Province all over the world. By then, it will still be embarrassing. Arashiyama City and Jixiang Province.
Although angry and unwilling, Chu Guocai had to consider the whole matter comprehensively, so he did not speak for the time being, but continued to listen to Liu Qingyu's speech.
Liu Qingyu saw Chu Guocai's silence. He didn't know what Chu Guocai was thinking at this moment. However, after his fierce roar just now, the anger in his heart subsided a little, and he immediately spoke out He said sadly: "Secretary Chu, do you know that I still have a huge worry about our tap water in Lanshan City, and that is the safety of tap water quality. Judging from the conclusive evidence I have so far, Lan has After the Shanshi Waterworks was acquired by the American Weili Company, the quality of the tap water has not improved significantly. You must know that in the United States, tap water is directly drinkable, and large American companies can detect certain data required for water quality. As many as 480 times a month, which is equivalent to testing the same data at least 16 times a day. If it is less than this number, it may be considered a violation. And according to the report of the US Environmental Protection Agency, 94% of the tap water provided by companies is Meets safe drinking standards.”
Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu's voice became even more sad: "Secretary Chu, when you say this, I feel my heart hurts. Our Lanshan City Water Plant is also directly managed by a large American company. Logically speaking, The same company, the same management model, the tap water managed should have the same standards, but our tap water in Lanshan City simply cannot meet the standards for direct drinking like the United States."
Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu's voice was filled with tears every word.
