Director Du turned the topic to the main topic, and Yu Qingyang also began to report on his purpose today.
"Director Du, the village chief of Lujia Village came to me yesterday and asked when the compensation would be paid out!
Many villagers who signed the contract are very anxious about when the money will be paid!"
"Well, I guess I have to wait until all the relocation work is completed and a total number is calculated before I can apply for funds from the bureau party committee!"
"That's how I explained it to Village Chief Lu!
However, the anxious mood of the common people can also be understood!
Almost every family in the villages around Qingshui Lake has two or three acres of land in the lake area, and it costs two to three hundred yuan. For rural families whose per capita annual income is less than one thousand yuan, it is still a considerable amount of income!
Du Bureau, this is what I think, if we can complete the relocation of a village, allocating money to one village can greatly promote the relocation progress!"
Director Du requested that the relocation be completed within half a month. In fact, he knew in his heart that the relocation work was not that simple.
Just to put pressure on the township.
There is a way to be found from above, from within, from within, and from below.
If the entire relocation work could be completed within a month, he would be very satisfied.
Yu Qingyang has been working on the construction site for twenty years and is very aware of these things. Therefore, his advice to Director Du is also based on promoting the progress of relocation.
"What you said makes sense." Director Du nodded, "In the last on-site meeting, I said that the compensation will be paid from your construction unit. You can negotiate with the Provincial Water Management Bureau and the municipal construction company.
See if they can advance this part of the funds first?
I can also give them a call if necessary!"
Director Du, this is not an excuse.
It is very common for construction companies to advance funds on behalf of owners.
For a project worth hundreds of millions, an advance payment of one million or two million is not too much.
What's more, Director Du also promised that he could call the two winning bidders to discuss the matter.
However, the real purpose of Yu Qingyang's trip was not this.
The real purpose is to get money.
I was wondering if I could ask for a prepayment.
The financial system in 2000 was not so rigorous. When and how much to allocate funds all depended on the wishes of the leaders.
Unlike later generations, every allocation must be accompanied by a contract, and the payment can only be made after meeting the payment terms stipulated in the contract.
Especially for projects allocated by the central government like this, no leader dares to violate the contract and give you funds in advance, and if the leader dares to sign, it will be stuck when it comes to the finance department, because all fiscal funds are subject to the supervision of the local finance bureau.
But now, the state lacks necessary supervision over the disbursement of funds. It is normal for the money to be misappropriated when it arrives, let alone if it is paid in advance.
Payment can be made in advance as long as the main leaders sign and agree.
“Bureau Du, because our project is a safe and civilized demonstration site, the initial investment is relatively large. I estimate that the provincial water and municipal construction companies are also under greater financial pressure!
And I personally just spent millions to buy a bulldozer, and the financial pressure is also very high!
These construction machinery are all oil-drinking tigers, and the amount of diesel they burn every day is not small!" Yu Qingyang slowly organized his voice, "Du Bureau, do you think the headquarters can allocate part of the project funds in advance?"
Director Du pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "Advance payment? Xiao Yu, I really can't guarantee this to you. You also know that I cannot have the final say for such a large payment of funds. It must be signed by the director.
That’s it!
In this way, I will try my best to help you fight for it, but I can’t guarantee how much it will be!”
Although early payment is inconsistent with the contract, since Yu Qingyang is the municipal Party committee secretary, there is no need to worry about Yu Qingyang absconding with the money, so early payment is not out of the question.
But Director Du wasn't sure how big Yu Qingyang's appetite was.
"Let Director Du worry about it! In fact, it is enough to pay the compensation, and then just have a start-up fund!" Yu Qingyang thanked him hurriedly.
Although Director Du did not give a clear answer, his lack of direct rejection meant he agreed.
Next, Yu Qingyang mentioned the use of dynamic compaction to Director Du.
"Xiao Yu, what do you think? If we change the original design and use dynamic compaction to save a lot of time, how much will the cost increase?"
"Director Du, if you switch to forced compaction, the cost will not increase, but it will save money!"
"Can the quality be guaranteed? Have you communicated with the designer about this?"
"Du Ju, there is absolutely no problem with the quality, and the compaction after force compaction can definitely meet our design requirements.
I have also communicated this with the designer. Since he has never been exposed to the dynamic compaction construction technology, he decided to go back and learn more about it!"
"Well! It can save money, speed up progress, and ensure quality. I definitely support it!
You continue to communicate with the designer and let him make changes to the construction process from a design perspective!"
As the commander-in-chief of the headquarters, the three points that Director Du is most concerned about are: funding, quality, and progress.
The Qingshui Lake dredging and capacity expansion project is a fund jointly raised by the central, provincial and municipal finances.
But in fact, only the central and provincial funds were in place, while the city's funds were simply transferred to the special fund account and then withdrawn.
Therefore, the funding issue ranks first in Director Du's mind.
He really didn't have the extra funds to make engineering changes.
He would rather extend the construction period than increase funds.
Now the plan proposed by Yu Qingyang can not only increase the progress, save money, but also ensure quality. Of course he agrees with both hands.
"Okay Du Ju, I will continue to communicate with the designer. If there is any news, I will report to you!"
"Yes!" Director Du nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Yu Qingyang knew it was time to leave, so he quickly stood up and said, "Du Bureau, I will go back first and report to you if I have anything else!"
"Okay, you go back first! If you have any difficulties, call me! I will try my best to help you get the project funds!" Director Du got up and walked Yu Qingyang to the door of the office.
"Sorry for the trouble, Director Du! Please stay!" Yu Qingyang thanked him again and left the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau.
After seeing off Yu Qingyang, Director Du returned to the office, sat behind his desk and drank tea for a while before picking up the phone, "Director, do you have time now? I have something to report to you!"
"Haha! I have time, Director Du, come here!" came an old and rich voice from the microphone. It was the director of the Mudan City Water Conservancy Bureau.
Director Du came to the director's office soon.
"Director, Xiaoyu, the construction worker of the Qingshui Lake expansion project, came to me just now and asked a few questions!
The main problem is about the advance payment of funds. They have already advanced several million in advance, and they will have to advance several million more in the future!
The financial pressure was very high, so he applied to me to see if I could allocate part of the project funds in advance!"
"Xiao Yu? Is that the Xiao Yu that Secretary Lin mentioned?" The director of the department is indeed a veteran cadre and leader, and he directly grasps the key points of the problem.
