It was almost noon after Qiao Liang and Zhao Jiejie finished talking about work. They had lunch together in the county courtyard canteen, and then they went back to rest.
Two days passed unknowingly. On this day, the opening ceremony of the centenary celebration of County No. 1 Middle School was held as scheduled. Many well-known alumni from County No. 1 Middle School made a special trip back to participate in the centenary celebration of their alma mater, including many High-ranking officials, especially the one who holds the deputy position in a certain department in the capital.
In the city, Luo Fei and Mayor Guo Xing'an also came to Songbei specially to attend the opening ceremony of the 100th anniversary of No. 1 Middle School.
The city's first and second leaders are here, and Qiao Liang, Miao Peilong and other key leaders of Songbei County will undoubtedly accompany them.
On this day, Songbei County No. 1 Middle School was full of stars. Even Qiao Liang, as the county magistrate of Songbei County, could only sit in the second row on the stage because there were too many heavyweights. Not qualified to sit in the front row.
The lively opening ceremony celebration was over, followed by a series of school celebration activities. Many alumni stayed to participate. However, the deputy director of a certain department who came here specially had a tight schedule and hurriedly visited after attending the opening ceremony. After a while at school, he immediately returned to the capital. As the deputy minister returned, all the city leaders also left. Mayor Guo Xing'an didn't even stay for lunch and returned to the city immediately because Guo Xing'an still had Other work arrangements.
On the contrary, Luo Fei stayed.
The reason why Luo Fei stayed was because for the next day, Luo Fei's schedule was in Songbei, and he would conduct a day's inspection in Songbei.
Luo Fei inspected Liujie Township in Songbei County. This is the first town in Songbei County to achieve overall poverty alleviation and the town has reached a moderately prosperous level. At the province's poverty alleviation work commendation conference earlier this year, Liujie Township was regarded as a poverty-stricken town. The model of getting rich was named and praised by the province at the conference, and was awarded the plaque of 'Model Township for Eradicating Poverty and Getting Rich'. He was the only township in Jiangzhou City to receive this honor. Therefore, everyone in the city also highly recognized it. Luo Fei's schedule this time included attending the opening ceremony of the county's No. 1 Middle School and a special trip to Liujie Township for inspection.
The reason why Liujie Township has achieved such good results is that the township has adapted measures to local conditions and combined with the actual conditions of Liujie Township to develop a characteristic Chinese herbal medicine planting industry, which has helped the entire township get rid of poverty and become rich.
When Luo Fei inspected, he naturally had to affirm the work of the county. As the top leader of Songbei County, Miao Peilong was highlighted by Luo Fei for praise. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Luo Fei was trying to build momentum for Miao Peilong. As for Qiao Liang, Luo Fei didn't mention a word.
This whole day, Miao Peilong could be said to be in the limelight, because in his speech, Luo Fei specifically mentioned that Liuzhen Township achieved poverty alleviation and prosperity when Miao Peilong was in charge of Songbei County. All of this is inseparable from the people in the county. The correct leadership of The project is also extremely rare because it is a foreign-funded project, and even the city attaches great importance to it.
Listening to Luo Fei's affirmation and praise of Miao Peilong from beginning to end, Qiao Liang, who had accompanied the inspection from beginning to end, had been very calm and did not show any special emotions. Qiao Liang knew very well that Luo Fei If you already hate him, how can you praise him? If you don't criticize yourself in public, it would be a blessing.
Luo Fei stayed one night in Songbei County and returned to the city the next morning.
It wasn't until Luo Fei left that Qiao Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because he and Luo Fei were not dealing with each other, Qiao Liang was actually very uncomfortable when he was with Luo Fei, but he had to keep smiling.
In the morning, Luo Fei was sent away, and Qiao Liang was in the office dealing with yesterday's backlog of documents. At almost 11 o'clock, secretary Fu Minghai came in and reported to Qiao Liang, "County Magistrate Qiao, those few documents you asked me to stare at... Being a foreign businessman seems a bit abnormal."
"Really? What's abnormal?" Qiao Liang's eyes lit up and he stopped what he was doing. It turned out that although Qiao Liang couldn't find anything unusual about the foreign businessmen from the information he checked from Fu Minghai a few days ago, Qiao Liang was still worried and asked Fu Minghai to continue to pay attention to every move of those foreign businessmen.
"Today I found out the latest situation from the industrial and commercial department. The Suzutian Investment Company registered by a foreign investor has just withdrawn 50 million of its registered capital," Fu Minghai said.
"What?" Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this, and said subconsciously, "Is this a withdrawal of registered capital?"
"It shouldn't count." Fu Minghai shook his head, "I checked the situation and found that the registered capital they took away was nominally used for the company's daily operations and does not count as the withdrawal of registered capital."
"But why do I feel weird?" Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows.
"It's a bit strange." Fu Minghai nodded and said, "There is another situation. The piece of land they obtained from the county is currently going through the mortgage loan procedures, and they need to borrow 500 million from the bank."
"Loan 500 million?" Qiao Liang was shocked again. Damn it, this International Automobile City project has not seen much movement yet. They are taking away the registered capital and using the cheap land given to them by the county. Banks lend huge amounts of money, which seems wrong no matter how you look at it.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qiao Liang hurriedly asked, "Has the bank approved it?"
"It's not that fast. Bank loans also have to go through the process, let alone a loan worth hundreds of millions. But as far as I know, this loan should be approved in the end. After all, this international automobile city project has been listed as a city. For key projects at the county level, with the endorsement of our county and the land as collateral, the bank will most likely approve it," Fu Minghai said.
When Qiao Liang heard this, he frowned. After thinking for a moment, Qiao Liang stood up and said, "Xiao Fu, let's go to the project site to have a look."
Qiao Liang left as soon as he could, and headed to the International Automobile City project site with Fu Minghai in a light car.
Because this project has only been signed not long ago, the project site is still a piece of grass, but it has been surrounded by fences, and the fences are decorated with very beautifully produced promotional pictures of the International Automobile City project.
There are already machines at work inside the construction site. Several excavators are excavating the foundation, and rumbling sounds can be heard.
Looking at the situation at the construction site, Qiao Liang looked serious and didn't know what he was thinking.
This piece of land is actually in a good location. If it were auctioned as residential land, it would fetch a lot of money. However, in order to introduce this so-called International Automobile City project, the county half-sold and half-gifted this quite high-quality land. The price was very cheap. Of course, the nature of the land was industrial land.
After a long while, Qiao Liang said, "Xiao Fu, do you think this international automobile city project is reliable?"
"This..." Fu Minghai hesitated for a moment and did not dare to answer, because this project involves Miao Peilong. It is a large project introduced by Miao Peilong himself, and yesterday the city's top leader Luo Fei was inspecting Songbei County. , also mentioned this project and praised it. If there were problems with the project, it would probably cause an uproar later.
"Why, you dare not say it?" Qiao Liang turned to look at Fu Minghai.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I don't know what to say at the moment." Fu Minghai scratched his head, "Based on what I've found so far, I think it's a bit strange, but to say there is a problem with this project, I think the evidence is not enough. not enough."
Qiao Liang didn't say anything. Fu Minghai's words were correct, and the reason why he was so suspicious was because he heard those so-called foreign businessmen speaking fluent Chinese on the mountain that day. Their accents were from Lingnan, which was not like them at all. Foreigners, that's why Qiao Liang questioned the identities of those foreign businessmen. When he started to feel suspicious, anything a little bit wrong would undoubtedly amplify Qiao Liang's suspicion. This is actually a kind of psychological inertia of people.
"Xiao Fu, if you say that this International Automobile City project turns out to be a well-designed scheme by a fraud gang, won't we in Songbei County become a joke?" Qiao Liang said quietly.
"This... this should be impossible." Fu Minghai was startled. This was the first time he heard from Qiao Liang that this was a fraud project, and he was really frightened.
"It can't be the best, just be afraid of the worst." Qiao Liang looked solemn and said, "Xiao Fu, when you go back later, you should contact the bank immediately so that they can't approve the loan no matter what. Said it was what I meant."
"Okay." Fu Minghai nodded after hearing this.
Qiao Liang and Fu Minghai watched the construction site for a while, and then returned to the county compound. After returning to the office, the more Qiao Liang thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. He felt that it was necessary to communicate with Miao Peilong again, and then reported to Miao Peilong's office. After making a phone call, Qiao Liang came to Miao Peilong's office.
Qiao Liang didn't say what the matter was on the phone, so after Qiao Liang came over, Miao Peilong looked at Qiao Liang lukewarmly and said calmly, "County Magistrate Qiao, what's the matter?"
"Secretary Miao, I still want to talk to you about the International Automobile City project," Qiao Liang said.
"What happened to the car city project?" Miao Peilong stared at Qiao Liang with his eyes wide open.
"I still think there is something wrong with those foreign businessmen." Qiao Liang looked at Miao Peilong calmly.
When Miao Peilong heard this, he thought to himself. Sure enough, Qiao Liang was still doubting this. If you want to see it faster, search the Weixin Information Industry heavy number "Tianxia Yiyike 2" and remove the "δΈ€" in the middle of the four words. ". The anger in Miao Peilong's heart suddenly surged. He called Qiao Liang by his name and said angrily, "Qiao Liang, you're done, aren't you?"
"Secretary Miao, what I say is well-founded and not targeted in any way." Qiao Liang frowned.
"Okay, then tell me what basis you have, not to mention that you heard those foreign businessmen speaking Chinese again." Miao Peilong sneered.
Seeing Miao Peilong's reaction, Qiao Liang frowned. Miao Peilong was very prejudiced against him, and communication between the two was really difficult.
