This time, Huang Jianchao was really scared. He didn't expect that Li Tianyi was so courageous and dared to arrest Augustine, Yasnipal and others. Seven or eight people were arrested at once, which was terrible.
Not a small number.
And these are all foreigners, and China has had a bad habit of worshiping foreigners since the Qing Dynasty. The most realistic example is that a certain shared bicycle is in trouble, and all users are in the distress of having to queue for a long time to get their deposits back.
, when an ordinary shared bicycle user pretends to be a foreigner and communicates with the shared bicycle customer service in English, the shared bicycle will refund the other party's deposit as soon as possible. This is the most typical behavior of worshiping foreigners.
After Huang Jianchao returned to his office, his face was a little livid. He took out his mobile phone and made a call to report the situation to the other party. After hearing this, the other party's face became a little solemn and he said in a deep voice: "I understand.
"
Just as Sun Jiandong brought these foreigners into the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Li Tianyi received a call from Guo Yongjie, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
Guo Yongjie frowned and said: "Li Tianyi, I heard that you just ordered the arrest of several foreign businessmen, and they came to our Ningkang City to discuss cooperation. Is this happening?"
Li Tianyi nodded slightly and said, "Secretary Guo, this is indeed the case."
Guo Yongjie looked a little ugly and said: "Mayor Li, you have gone too far in this matter. Just now, I received a call from the leader of the provincial party committee, asking us to explain this matter."
Li Tianyi smiled slightly and said: "Mayor Li, please rest assured that I will explain this matter to the leaders of the provincial party committee. And I assure you that we in Ningkang City did not do anything wrong in this incident."
Guo Yongjie said with a solemn expression: "Mayor Li, please don't take this matter lightly. I just heard from the leaders of the provincial party committee that this matter seems to have affected the foreign affairs departments of Australia and Canada. They have already reported the incident through these departments.
"Although I haven't made a clear position yet, I estimate that if this incident is not handled well, it will most likely cause diplomatic disputes. I hope you will consider it carefully."
Li Tianyi said in a deep voice: "Secretary Guo, please rest assured that I am willing to take full responsibility for this incident."
Guo Yongjie nodded: "Comrade Li Tianyi, I still say what I said, you must act with caution in everything and don't act on impulse."
After hanging up the phone, Guo Yongjie began to pace back and forth in the office. He did not expect that Li Tianyi would act so strongly and decisively in this incident. Although the call he just received was just a news report, and
He did not express any attitude of the provincial party committee, but the matter had indeed attracted the attention of the provincial party committee, which forced him to treat it with caution. However, Li Tianyi's attitude made him a little disappointed. Li Tianyi was not aware of this incident at all.
How much political risk may it cause.
In the office of Tianning Provincial Party Committee Secretary Meng Qingzhe, Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General Xu Bingkun was reporting to Meng Qingzhe about the arrest of foreign partners in Ningkang City.
After Xu Bingkun narrated the entire incident, he said in a deep voice: "Secretary Meng, this incident is extremely bad in nature and has extremely far-reaching impact. Li Tianyi is simply digging his own grave. By doing this, he will not only affect our Tianning Province, but also Canada and Australia."
The original economic cooperation between the two countries will even affect the normal economic exchanges between me and these two countries in the future, especially since our Tianning Province has three cities that are sister cities to Australia and Canada. If this
If this incident continues to escalate, the other party will not only cancel exchanges between sister cities, but will also most likely put pressure on us through diplomatic means.
The most important thing is that the illegal detention of foreign partners is very immoral and abnormal. It is a very inferior operation method and will not do any good to our Tinian Province.
Judging from the current situation, Ningkang City has also reported the general situation on this matter, but they have no intention of repenting, and Li Tianyi insists on his approach."
Meng Qingzhe frowned and asked, "Old Xu, do you have any suggestions?"
Xu Bingkun said: "Secretary Meng, this incident has been highly hyped on the Internet. You can see it as long as you turn on the Internet. However, I think that the hype of this incident will not do any good to our Tianning Province. On the contrary,
It is easy for us to fall into passivity. We must convene the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee to discuss this matter as soon as possible and resolve the matter as soon as possible."
Meng Qingzhe pondered for a moment and said: "Well, you immediately call Ningkang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Guo Yongjie and Mayor Li Tianyi and ask them to rush to the provincial capital as quickly as possible to attend the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to discuss this matter.
We need to hear their explanations in person before making a final decision."
Xu Bingkun nodded quickly and immediately went out to call Li Tianyi and Guo Yongjie.
When calling Li Tianyi, Xu Bingkun's attitude was very clear, that is, business was business, and he just informed Li Tianyi to go to the provincial capital for a meeting to discuss the matter. However, when Xu Bingkun called Guo Yongjie, Xu Bingkun said in a heavy tone: "Old Guo
Yeah, I am from Ningkang City. I am very clear about the attitude of the provincial party committee leaders on this matter, especially Secretary Meng. He attaches great importance to this matter and asked me directly to inform you to attend this provincial party committee standing committee meeting.
"Secretary Meng doesn't want this matter to get too big. You must convince Comrade Li Tianyi to take the overall situation into consideration and stop acting willfully. We in Ningkang City cannot afford such trouble."
Guo Yongjie nodded quickly and said: "Secretary-General, please rest assured that I will work hard to do Comrade Li Tianyi's work."
After hanging up the phone, Guo Yongjie immediately ordered his subordinates to buy two high-speed rail tickets to Tianfeng City, the provincial capital. He and Li Tianyi took the high-speed rail in the same city and rushed to Tianfeng City immediately.
The two people were seated next to each other. There were relatively few people in their car, and there were no people around them.
Guo Yongjie looked at Li Tianyi and asked: "Li Tianyi, the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee attach great importance to the arrest of Augustin and other foreign businessmen in Ningkang City. This time they specially asked us to attend the meeting of the Provincial Party Committee to explain the matter.
Do you think you should ask the Municipal Public Security Bureau to release these people first and calm down the whole situation?"
Li Tianyi looked at Guo Yongjie with a solemn expression and said: "Secretary Guo, to be honest, I don't want to arrest those foreigners, but now we in Ningkang City are facing a very serious problem, that is, if we want to develop the economy, we need to
A large amount of funds, especially in order to get our highway planning approved by the Provincial Department of Communications, Comrade Guo Tianming, director of the Provincial Department of Communications, and I have signed relevant agreements. I must raise 50 million within a month.
With 100 million yuan in highway development funds, the pressure is very high.
If we follow normal operations, we simply won't be able to raise so much money.
But now, I've found a way to raise the money."
Guo Yongjie looked at Li Tianyi, his eyes full of doubts.
Li Tianyi explained: "Secretary Guo, you should be aware of this huge investment of our Ningkang Mining Group in Australia, right?"
Guo Yongjie nodded and said: "I also know something about this matter. It is a project operated by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."
Li Tianyi said: "Secretary Guo, I can now be completely sure that this project is likely to be a packaged project, and some people from our Ningkang State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Mining Group are likely to collude, especially Augustine and others.
Foreigners colluded with each other to transfer huge amounts of state-owned funds generated by mining groups abroad. This matter involved a serious loss of state-owned assets.
And this time these foreigners came to our Ningkang City to negotiate, their purpose is to continue to grab huge profits from our mining group, and for these foreigners, they hardly have to pay any cost, and we Ningkang
The huge amount of money invested by Kangshi Mining Group and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission became their absolute profit when it was recorded in their books. The cost they paid was negligible.
The reason why I want to arrest these foreigners is to recover this money. As long as we have this huge amount of funds, we can not only solve the funding shortage problem of the highway planning plan, but also solve the problem of our Ningkang City
There is a serious shortage of fiscal revenue.”
Speaking of this, Li Tianyi's eyes flashed with anger and said: "Secretary Guo, it's not that our Ningkang City's fiscal revenue is really low, but that some of us have diverted huge amounts of money that should have gone into fiscal revenue.
, transferred abroad through so-called investment, and became the meat they wantonly carve up. These people are simply audacious.
I am almost certain that our Ningkang City State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, especially the mining group, in the history of their foreign investment, more than 90% of the failed investment projects involved collusion with foreign capital to carve up state-owned assets.
.
And these people always operate these things under the so-called "going out" sign, and the excuse they give for failure is always that since they want to go out, they have to pay some tuition fees. This excuse sounds good, but in fact
, are all despicable means to deceive us, the municipal party committee leaders, and ordinary people in Ningkang City."
When Guo Yongjie heard this, his expression became serious and he said: "Li Tianyi, are you a little too extreme to say this, and you have no evidence."
Li Tianyi shook his head and said: "Secretary Guo, please rest assured that I will produce relevant evidence, and the evidence is being collected now. As long as these people are caught, it will become easier for us to collect evidence. So.
, I ask you to support my views at today’s Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting. Only in this way can we, Ningkang City, take a critical step in transformation and development and raise enough funds."
Guo Yongjie did not express his position immediately, but fell into silence. Li Tianyi said no more and closed his eyes to rest.
At this moment, Guo Yongjie's cell phone vibrated and it was a call.
Guo Yongjie glanced at Li Tianyi next to him, stood up and walked out of the carriage, went to the bathroom, closed the door, and then answered the phone.
When he came back from the phone call, he glanced at Li Tianyi, who had his eyes closed to rest, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
