After a while, Xiao Sui's brother called me and said, "Mayor Feng, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about this."
I felt strange secretly and couldn't help but ask him: "I should be the one thanking you. What are you sorry for?"
He said: "No. Mayor Feng, here's the thing. Director Ruan called me today. She said she wanted to use the car, so I told her about sending your mother and children to the cemetery.
. I guess she knew that you were very busy, so she asked your mother to answer the phone. I don’t know what they said afterwards. Anyway, it was Director Ruan who knew that your mother was going back to her hometown tomorrow, so she asked me
She also wanted to take her children to play there for a few days. I asked Director Shang for instructions and Director Shang agreed. Later, Director Ruan told me not to tell you about this for the time being. She said
She will tell you herself. That’s all.”
I didn't expect it to be like this, but I thanked him anyway. Then I immediately called Ruan Jie.
Ruan Jie immediately laughed, "You still know?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "How can I not know about my own mother's affairs? Ruan Jie, thank you, but why are you going to my hometown? It's quite hard to take a long-distance car, and you have a child with you."
She smiled and said: "I don't have anything to do anyway. It's boring to stay in this city with my children all day. I heard that your mother was going to take her children back to her hometown, so I wanted to go. You are so busy, I
Wouldn't you feel more at ease if you go with the old man?"
I felt that this was very inappropriate, "Ruan Jie, this..."
She immediately said softly: "Don't think so much, okay? You have helped me so many times, can't I help you in return this time? Don't worry, I have no other intentions. Besides, the two children are here
It won’t be easy for them to feel uncomfortable if we ride in the car together, right?”
Now that she has said this, what else can I say? I said: "Thank you, Ruan Jie. I can't help it. There are things scheduled every day during the Spring Festival. It's okay, I have you and my mother together."
, I feel more at ease.”
She said: "Why are you so polite? Have I ever been polite in front of you?"
I smiled and said, "Well, I will basically be free when you come back. I will treat you to dinner then."
She immediately laughed and said, "Okay, I accept this."
I was completely relieved about this matter until now. Later I thought about it and planned to call Shanglongxing to express my gratitude, but I felt it was unnecessary. That would make me look too trivial. I'll see you then.
Just express your gratitude to her.
But now my heart was completely relaxed, and I immediately remembered a big thing at work. I suddenly remembered something that the old comrades told me when I went to attend the opening ceremony of the gateball game today.
When I came here, I immediately felt that this matter could not be ignored, let alone ignored.
I looked at the time and first called Secretary Rong, "Secretary Rong, I'm sorry to bother you at this time."
She smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, it's important, right? I know you wouldn't call me at this time if there was no big deal."
I said: "I think it is a big matter, and I am very worried that this matter will soon turn into a social problem."
She immediately said in a serious voice, "Oh? Tell me, what is it?"
So I briefly reported to her about the fund-raising company and what I heard today. Finally, I said: "Secretary Rong, I have heard about this matter before, but at the time I thought it was
Corporate behavior, and this kind of thing has happened in other places, and there seems to be no big problem. But from what I learned today, there seems to be a problem with the capital chain of this company. Think about this matter carefully.
In fact, it is very simple. They absorb funds through high interest, but the funds they absorb need to be repaid with interest. If this company does not have any high-return investments, it is easy for the capital chain to break. If
If that's really the case, then many of our citizens will lose all their money. For ordinary citizens, that's fine, but for us laid-off workers, it will be even worse. Their money is all bought out by seniority.
Money, once this money is gone, how will they live in the future? Wouldn’t society be in turmoil as a result?”
She said: "Mayor Feng, I understand your concerns. In fact, I am also very worried about this matter. I also consulted my husband about this. But he thinks it is best for us not to deal with this matter, just as you said
In that case, this situation exists in many places across the country, and at least there has been no problem so far. But once we step in to take care of it, a run will easily occur, which will be fatal to the company."
I suddenly felt that what she said seemed reasonable. After thinking about it, I said: "There are no problems in other places. I think there may be two situations. One is that the funds absorbed by others have a good return on investment; the other is that the funds absorbed by others have a good return on investment."
Funds are getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, but if it is the latter situation, it will collapse sooner or later, because after all, the interest on funds is a very large number. If there is no high return as support, the capital chain will break.
It has become a matter of time. The situation we have here now is... Oh, no, what I learned is that the possible situation is that this company can no longer afford to pay interest, so I think this matter is a bit dangerous. Rong
Secretary, I'm thinking to myself, if we have already foreseen the risks and dangers, but we don't investigate and intervene in advance, it would be a dereliction of duty."
She pondered for a moment and then asked me: "Mayor Feng, what do you want to do?"
I said: "I think we should get involved in investigating the matter in advance, and take action as soon as we find any problems. In this way, if something really goes wrong, we can minimize the losses. Secretary Rong, like
Once something like this really goes wrong, our government can only step in to take care of it and come out to punish those businesses. It’s not like this has never happened before. In the first half of last year, an incident occurred at a private coal mine in Sanshui City.
A gas explosion killed more than 20 people and injured more than 20 people. As a result, the coal mine owner ran away without a trace. The government went to check the funds in his account and found that they had been transferred long ago. Isn’t it because the government spent money to deal with the aftermath? So,
My idea is very simple, that is, we cannot wait until something really happens before we take action, otherwise it may be too late."
She said: "However, this is a normal business practice after all. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to intervene for no reason? What if there is a run and the company asks us to compensate for the losses?"
I said: "Shouldn't this method be legal? To be precise, it should be an illegal fund-raising, right? Since it is illegal fund-raising, why can't we come forward to take care of it?"
She said: "Nowadays, sometimes it's hard to define what's legal or illegal. Since other places are doing this, it doesn't make sense if we don't allow it."
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Well, since this is your opinion, I won't say more. But I will definitely observe this matter closely."
She said: "That's okay."
After our call ended, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly: Am I a little nervous?
Then I went to lie on the bed and read a book, but not long after, Secretary Rong called me. She said to me: "Mayor Feng, I thought about it just now, and I think your worries seem to be reasonable.
Do you think this is okay? First send someone to investigate the situation of this company secretly. If anything goes wrong, we will take immediate measures."
I said: "This is okay, but once we really find out there is a problem, it may be too late."
She asked me: "Mayor Feng, what do you mean?"
I said: "The bank must cooperate with us. That is to say, once we find out that there is a problem with the company's funds, we must immediately know where the funds have been transferred. Only then can we take truly effective measures. These people
They are not idiots. If something really goes wrong, they will definitely transfer the last funds before the collapse. Otherwise, it will be meaningless for them to engage in such financing."
She said: "Well, let the public security department investigate the matter secretly. Only they can get help from the bank. Our municipal party committee can't do it, and neither can your government. And if something goes wrong in the future, we will
There is still room for shirk of responsibility. What do you think?"
I think she was very considerate, and the so-called shirk of responsibility she said did not mean shirk of responsibility in the true sense, but allowed us, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, room to ease conflicts. I said: "I agree with your opinion.
."
She said: "Well, let Mayor Wu talk to the person in charge of the Municipal Public Security Bureau about this matter. You'd better not come forward, otherwise there will be no room for relaxation."
I said: "Okay, that's it."
Indeed, as a lesbian, she is really careful in considering issues, and I also think her man's opinion may be involved. After all, her man is a businessman and knows how to avoid risks.
Next, I called Mayor Wu and told him the opinions I had just discussed with Secretary Rong. After hearing this, he said, "Will such a situation happen?"
I said: "Isn't this just in case? It is precisely because of this that special confidentiality is needed. The matter must be investigated secretly. The purpose is to recover losses as much as possible in the event of an adverse situation.
"
He said: "Okay, I'll do it."
I am still very confident in him. As long as he agrees to do something, he will definitely carry it out seriously and satisfactorily.
I don’t know why, but I haven’t slept well that night. I keep dreaming. The dreams are full of scenes of laid-off workers crying and crying. (To be continued)
