Liu Donglai nodded repeatedly. The matter had been revealed and he could not say anything more if the other party could help.
"By the way, just now Liu Lang said that your city wants each factory to buy its own materials. Who came up with the idea? Is it just nonsense? Doesn't this put the responsibility on the factories? I think this mayor is not qualified."
The supplies are all subject to unified provincial and municipal quotas, and factories are not allowed to use cash to buy them. Xiao Nanguang disagrees with the mayor's idea.
"Mr. Xiao, we also went to the supply and sales office of the North Railway Station yesterday and asked the staff. They said the same thing, but we met a person who said he could sell us steel, but the price was too high. Our bearing factory
Can't bear it."
Liu Donglai smoothly told what happened yesterday.
Liu Lang shook his head slightly after hearing this. He didn't say anything about this just now, because it would be useless. There were too many people's interests involved, not to mention Xiao Nanguang couldn't control it, and even Mr. Deng couldn't do anything about it, but
His father didn't understand this, he just regarded it as a simple matter.
"What? Can one person sell you steel? Impossible. Provincial quotas are determined by the government. They will be directly allocated to various provinces and cities. They will not go through a certain person. That person must be a liar."
Xiao Nanguang didn't believe it.
"He also took out the quota document from the Provincial Department of Supply and Marketing, and it was stamped with a big red seal. It should not be fake. If the price is right, we will pay for it, but the second-grade round steel the bearing factory needs costs 700 yuan.
One ton is far higher than the city’s price of 300 yuan per ton, and we can’t afford it!”
Now that he had spoken out, Liu Donglai also told the other party everything he had encountered.
"What? There is such a thing?"
Xiao Nanguang frowned. He couldn't tell whether this matter was what Liu Donglai said, but if it was what he said, this matter would be extraordinary. The country is cracking down hard now, and one of the crimes is speculation.
According to what Liu Donglai said, this person committed the crime of speculation, and he also committed the crime of speculation, which was the most important means of production in the country. It was much more serious than those small businessmen and hawkers.
"Xiao Sun, do you know about this kind of thing?"
Xiao Nanguang glanced at the secretary next to him and asked.
"I've never heard of this..."
Xiao Sun shook his head. After all, Zhengxie is not a government. It does not manage many things and does not participate in general economic activities.
"No, this matter is a big deal. I have to ask clearly. If such a thing really happens, it must be reported to Hu Weiguo and the others immediately."
Xiao Nanguang stood up and decided to call someone in the government to ask for details.
"Grandpa Xiao, there's nothing you can do about this matter even if you ask clearly!"
Liu Lang suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Liu Lang, what do you mean?"
Xiao Nanguang and others were stunned. What else could this kid know about national affairs?
"Grandpa Xiao, I have read some articles in the newspaper before. Our country started to implement a dual-track price system in 1978. There is one set price for the plan and another set for the unplanned price. There is a huge difference between the two prices. At that time, I thought
I was thinking, if I get the materials at the planned price and buy them on the market, wouldn’t I be able to make a lot of money? Just yesterday, the person my dad and the others met actually realized my original idea.
.”
Xiao Nanguang is a high-ranking official. He has been selfless throughout his life. He will not tolerate anything that violates the law and harms the interests of the country. He strictly practices the code of conduct of the older generation of proletarians.
As a deputy provincial official, he actually made a trip to Fucheng for a little child. It can be seen that he is thirsty for talents, and behind this move is also his concern and concern for the future of the country.
I hope that for such a person, Liu Lang will never let him fall into a deep crisis. Even if Liu Lang does this and exposes some things that are inappropriate for his age, he will try his best to stop it.
Because even though Xiao Nanguang is a deputy provincial official, once he is really determined to intervene in this matter, his opponents will absolutely crush him mercilessly, and he will not have any power to fight back.
Resigning from office and going home, more importantly... it's hard to say. The outcome depends entirely on his own determination.
Liu Lang was not an exaggerator. As a reborn person, he knew very well who Xiao Nanguang was facing. They themselves had strong official backgrounds, and some were even officials themselves or their family members. These people used the tools in their hands to
If rights are exchanged for benefits, if it is one or two, it will naturally be insignificant, but
The key is that they are a group of people, a group of forces united by various departments, in which everyone benefits. With the combined strength of these people, they can obtain almost any material, exchanging rights for benefits. More than ten years later,
A nationally renowned economic expert calls this approach rent-seeking.
Even more than thirty years later, rights and rent-seeking are still a top concern of national law, but they have still not been completely resolved.
It is conceivable that even after more than thirty years, the country has not completely solved this problem, let alone now. It can be said that the so-called "official corruption" is essentially a legal issue, a problem caused by imperfect laws.
The inevitable product is still a huge monster. Can a little Xiao Nanguang solve it?
Besides, this "rights and rent-seeking" has also completed the primitive accumulation for many companies, many of which have become well-known enterprises in the country twenty or thirty years later. This can be regarded as one of the feasts of rights and interests.
The only place that can be praised.
Of course, Liu Lang could not express these deep-seated reasons, and could only use the imperfection of the dual-track price system as an excuse.
It is true that Xiao Nanguang has an upright character, but he is definitely not a rude person because he was able to reach the position of deputy provincial level in the officialdom. Even in the era of great leaders, officials did not dare to corrupt, but the heads of Qingshan Zishan and others
It was still vivid in his mind, especially in the past few years after the reform and opening up, he had heard more or less about the illegal behavior of certain officials, and he knew very well that these people were just using the power in their hands to exchange for their own interests.
Isn't it enough that a person can hold provincial or even national quota documents? In other words, does Xiao Nanguang have this ability?
Xiao Nanguang was sitting on the sofa, frowning and silent. Dong Changshan was sitting aside smoking a cigarette and not saying anything. He couldn't get involved in this matter.
After a long time, Xiao Nanguang looked at Liu Lang.
"Liu Lang, where did you know this?"
"Grandpa Xiao, all the knowledge I have is from what I read in newspapers."
What else could Liu Lang say? You can’t really say that you saw it more than twenty years later.
"Scattered information in newspapers can allow you to find such a big loophole. Haha, it seems that there are really huge problems in this dual-track price system."
