In the conference room, everyone from the Investigation Division 1 and Investigation Division 2 took turns reporting to Liu Qingyu a series of recent investigation and interrogation results.
The first person to report was Lu Pengyu, deputy director of the Second Investigation Division.
Lu Pengyu said with a bit of excitement in his tone: "Liu Jian, after our interrogation of Guo Chengming, he just confessed the latest clues. According to his reflection, the reason why he was able to receive so many reports of corrupt officials in Tiandu Province
The project of laundering and transferring stolen money is inseparable from Hou Yuqiang's introduction. Many of his clients have attended dinner parties organized by Hou Yuqiang.
Although Hou Yuqiang would not say anything related to money laundering and other matters at the dinner, everyone is smart. Since Hou Yuqiang introduced Guo Chengming to everyone, everyone knows that Guo Chengming obviously has a good relationship with Hou Yuqiang, plus Guo Chengming
This person was good at communication, a good person, and generous with his actions. Therefore, many people gradually became friends with him.
Moreover, Guo Chengming also confessed that although Hou Yuqiang did not directly ask him to help with money laundering, according to his location, Hou Yuqiang had other channels for money laundering, and Hou Yuqiang's method of making money was also very unique. And the one where he could detect the clues was Tiandu City
The construction of skyscrapers.”
"The construction of skyscrapers?" Liu Qingyu asked back.
Lu Pengyu nodded: "Yes, it is the tallest building in Tiandu City - Tiandu Bowang Building! This building starts with the name of Tiandu City and is named after the investor of the building, Bowang Investment Group.
This skyscraper is 518 meters high. It is not only the tallest building in our Tiandu Province, but also the absolute top tallest building in the entire western region. According to Guo Chengming, he believes that Hou Yuqiang is likely to have serious corruption in this project.
Behavior. However, this is also his one-sided statement, and we are still verifying the specific information."
When Liu Qingyu heard this, his face suddenly became serious: "So far, has there been any obvious progress in the clues about the Tiandu Bowang Building?"
Lu Pengyu nodded: "Although we only conducted a preliminary investigation, we found that the main investor of Tiandu Bowang Building is Tiandu Province Bowang Investment Management Group, which is a state-owned investment management group, and in Tiandu Bowang
The total planned investment of the Wang Tower project is US$10.8 billion, of which US$6 billion will come from guaranteed loan financing provided by the Tiandu government, and the other US$4.8 billion will come from government guaranteed financing from Tiandu Province and Bowang Group’s own funds.
, It can be said that so far, almost all the funds for the entire Bowang Tower project have come from the government or financing guarantees provided by the government. However, such a huge project has already invested billions of dollars from its launch the year before last to now.
However, now, this project has been temporarily suspended. This means that once this project cannot continue, all the billions of financing invested in the early stage will be lost."
"What? Billions of dollars? All losses?" Hearing this number, Liu Qingyu could no longer calm down. If it were several billions of yuan, Liu Qingyu would be shocked, but he would not be so uneasy.
But now, what Lu Pengyu mentioned is billions of dollars. Even based on a ratio of one to six, that is more than 20 billion yuan! This is all the hard-earned money of the people.
Liu Qingyu said with a gloomy face: "So far, has the Tiandu City Government or Bowang Group given a specific explanation for this matter? Has anyone been held accountable for this matter?"
Lu Pengyu shook his head: "There has been no movement yet, and all parties are still delaying."
Liu Qingyu's face suddenly became full of anger. He slammed the table and said angrily: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense! A project worth tens of billions of yuan was stopped as soon as it was said to be stopped. No one was held accountable or asked about it.
This is really unreasonable. This is simply unacceptable. Didn't this project planning go through multiple evaluations and verifications? Don't they know whether the project will be profitable even if it is actually completed? Is anyone willing to rent or buy? They
Even if this project is actually completed after spending more than 10 billion US dollars, apart from creating a landmark building, will it have any practical effect? Can it bring real benefits to the Tiandu City Government or the people?"
There was silence in the venue. Everyone shook their heads vigorously.
The people present are all elites on the anti-corruption front. In recent times, under the leadership of Liu Qingyu, everyone's vision has become very broad. They can see very clearly that the so-called No. 1 in Tiandu Province
Whether it is a high-rise building or the tallest building in China, under the current economic situation and today's social background, it has lost its gimmick role, and its driving role in the economy of high-rise buildings has been completely weakened. In this case
, the construction of such skyscrapers often results in losses. Shi Yuzhu, the founder of Melatonin at that time, has already demonstrated this with bloody lessons.
However, today, there are still some local leaders in various places who are keen on the false reputation of the tallest building. It would be fine if these high-rise buildings were constructed by enterprises. After all, if the enterprises raise their own funds and operate them, at least the other party will weigh in on various aspects and will
Actively consider market factors. Even if it loses money, it is the company itself that loses money.
However, if this kind of project is operated or planned by local government, then its original purpose has to be pondered. Will this be a political achievement project? After such a project is built, how do you carry out market-oriented operations?
As a local government, what is your main responsibility? Is it to operate such a high-rise project? Are you professional enough?
Even the most ordinary person can understand the many problems that exist here. However, neither Liu Qingyu nor anyone else expected that such a slap on the forehead would happen right in front of them.
This is a skyscraper project worth more than 10 billion US dollars. Doesn’t Wang Honghao, the municipal Party committee secretary, know about such a large project? What role did he play in it? What role did Mayor Hou Yuqiang play?
For a moment, everyone was deep in thought.
After a while, Liu Qingyu raised his head and looked at Wang Jian and said, "Okay, Wang Jian, please tell us about the situation in Wuping City."
Subsequently, Wang Jian began to report again. Judging from what Wang Jian reported, many clues have been found in Wuping City, and these clues all point to Hou Yuqiang's secretary Huang Zilin. Huang Zilin used his identity during Hou Yuqiang's political career.
, taking advantage of his position, he often does things for others and collects bribes from them.
However, judging from the investigation by Wang Jian and the others, although Huang Zilin handled the matter, many things could not have been accomplished simply by relying on Huang Zilin's status as secretary. If Hou Yuqiang did not nod, Huang Zilin would not have been able to accomplish it. But in all cases
Hou Yuqiang did not leave any clues in the matters that Huang Zilin handled.
This is also the main reason why the investigation team has stayed in Wuping City during this period and has not returned. Their investigation can no longer go in-depth after reaching Huang Zilin. Although Huang Zilin has been arrested, so far, Huang Zilin
Although he explained a lot of questions, he stated that he did not know all the information about Hou Yuqiang. He was like a loyal minister full of foolish and loyal thoughts, full of loyalty to Hou Yuqiang. He was determined not to betray Hou Yuqiang in the slightest, even if he appeared.
During the Guo Chengming incident, he remained loyal to Hou Yuqiang, which made the investigation of the Investigation Division extremely difficult.
After listening to the reports from the other directors of the Investigation Division One and Investigation Division Two, Liu Qingyu's face became extremely solemn.
After listening to this report, Liu Qingyu realized that the current situation of Hou Yuqiang's case can be described as mixed. The good news is that there are clues, but the bad news is that it is very difficult to conduct an in-depth investigation, especially the Bowang Building.
This project involves more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, involving the Tiandu Municipal Government and even the Tiandu Provincial Government’s State-owned Assets Department. If you want to truly conduct an in-depth investigation, you don’t have to think about the difficulties that may be encountered in the future, and they will definitely be numerous.
Subsequently, Liu Qingyu made arrangements for these two matters, and also reminded the Investigation Division One and Investigation Division Two that they must truly realize the difficulty of the work at this stage. He also pointed out that as anti-corruption personnel, they must be firm and unswerving.
We must faithfully implement the party's principles and policies, not be afraid of difficulties, and resolutely carry out anti-corruption work to the end.
Naturally, everyone in the two departments listened to Liu Qingyu's arrangements and reminders.
After the meeting, when he returned to the office, Liu Qingyu immediately fell into deep thinking.
After thinking for more than half an hour, Liu Qingyu woke up from his meditation, turned on his computer, logged into the Internet, and started Baidu for information related to Tiandu Bowang Building.
Through this information on Baidu, Liu Qingyu had a better understanding of the entire project.
The Bowang Building project was put forward by an American architectural design company in the spring of last year, and it gave a pretty good prospect planning and evaluation. This opinion and evaluation report caused the Tiandu City Government to
Attached great importance to it and personally met with the person in charge of the American construction company. Less than a month after the two sides had some friendly negotiations, Tiandu City began to set up an expert team to evaluate and demonstrate the entire Bowang Building project. After more than a month of
After the evaluation and demonstration procedures, the final evaluation report was approved by the province, and the entire Bowang Building project was officially approved.
Originally, at the beginning of the project, the original plan was to introduce market funds to market the entire project. At that time, several companies were indeed very interested in the project, but after some contacts, these companies all withdrew.
Later, the Tiandu City Government directly decided that since your marketing company did not participate, Tiandu Bowang Investment Group would have full authority to operate the matter. Liu Qingyu would not be able to tell Baidu about the follow-up matters.
Liu Qingyu judged from a lot of information that what happened later was all deleted because of sensitivity or other factors. Liu Qingyu suddenly became curious, since it is such a public project, why should these online discussions about this project be deleted?
What about related posts? Who is afraid? What are they afraid of?
