After coming to Xiangcheng for more than a week, Zhou Qiyao finally found a place that satisfied him with the help of Yan Xintang. This is a place called Majia Village, next to the Masin River with a small flow. The terrain here is open, not far from the village.
The Yingbin Avenue in Xiangcheng City was built only two years ago. The transportation is very convenient, and the government does not need to build any national highways to coordinate it.
Looking at the eighty-nine thousand square meters of land in front of him, Zhou Qiyao smiled at Yan Xintang beside him and said: "Secretary Yan, this place is very good. The terrain is flat and open, and the transportation is convenient. However, this land still has a lot of farmland.
What should farmers do?”
Yan Xintang laughed and said: "That's nothing, just give them compensation. Anyway, there are still a lot of wasteland near Lizhi Mountain in Maxin Village. They can still open up wasteland for farming. Besides, Mr. Zhou, you are building here
Another advantage of the factory is that it is right next to the Masin River. Those of you who use the remaining water can directly discharge it, saving even the cost of sewage discharge."
"Huh? Are you afraid of doing this? Will the Quality Supervision and Water Conservancy Bureau object?" Zhou Qiyao said.
"What are you afraid of? Mr. Zhou, this is not a heavy industry with serious pollution. It's just an ordinary light industry. It won't have much impact. Besides, the Masin River can flow, and it's not a pool of stagnant water. The sewage will
It will be washed away quickly. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, no one will say anything to you as long as Yan is here." Yan Xintang patted his chest, looking confident.
The two looked at each other and laughed tacitly. Yan Xintang laughed especially happily. He had mentioned Zhou Qiyao's investment in building a toy production base in Xiangcheng City at the Municipal Standing Committee meeting. Unexpectedly, Situ Li and Xiao Yu
But they expressed a very tacit understanding that this matter needs to be carefully considered and that all factors should be taken into consideration before making a decision.
Although he did not object directly, Yan Xintang knew that Situ Li and Xiao Yu had shelved Zhou Qiyao's investment in Xiangcheng. Naturally, he did not know that Zhou Hao had given Situ Li a detailed analysis of the prospects of Zhou Qiyao's toy production base, so he only
He thought this was Situ Li and Xiao Yu deliberately suppressing him.
In anger, Yan Xintang bypassed Situ Li and Xiao Yu and went directly to his backer in the provincial party committee. After his backer knew that Zhou Qiyao wanted to invest 500 million in Xiangcheng, he told Yan Xintang that as long as he could guarantee this
If the investment was actually in place rather than a blank check, he helped Yan Xintang suppress Situ Li and Xiao Yu to ensure that Zhou Qiyao's investment went smoothly.
With the support from the province, Yan Xintang was much more confident, so he helped Zhou Qiyao search all over Xiangcheng to find a place to build a factory that satisfied him, and even used high-pressure methods regardless of the wishes of the villagers in Maxin Village.
They forcibly expropriated agricultural land without paying any attention to the pollution Zhou Qiyao's factory would cause to the Ma-Xin River.
"Mr. Zhou, now that this place has been selected, I would like to confirm when will your first phase of investment be received? When will we sign the contract?" Yan Xintang was also afraid that Zhou Qiyao would regret it temporarily. What he had done
Everything was in vain, so I wanted to sign a contract with him as soon as possible and truly take this political achievement into my own hands.
"The contract can be dealt with at any time. We are just waiting for your city government to send the official documents." Zhou Qiyao chuckled. Suddenly he heard his mobile phone ringing, so he took it out to answer it. His face immediately changed, and then he became angry.
He said to Yan Xintang: "Secretary Yan, what does your municipal government mean by this?"
"Huh? Mr. Zhou, what did you say?" Yan Xintang was confused by Zhou Qiyao's sudden anger.
Zhou Qiyao said coldly: "Don't you know, your city's Public Security Bureau took my grandson back?"
"What!" Yan Xintang exclaimed, and the look of surprise on his face immediately turned into anger, because the Public Security Bureau was in the hands of Situ Li. The reason why Zhou Zhiyi was suddenly arrested by the Public Security Bureau this time was clearly Situ Li's fault.
Come on, Yan Xintang thought to himself that Situ Li must have directed such a play because he wanted to destroy his cooperation with Zhou Qiyao.
He said sternly: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will go back immediately to investigate this matter. I must severely punish those miscreants in the public security system and give an explanation to Mr. Zhou and Lingsun."
"I'll go back with you. I don't know how those people will treat my grandson. I've heard a lot about your mainland police's handling style." Zhou Qiyao said with a straight face.
So, the two of them rushed back to the city and went straight to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
As soon as he arrived at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Yan Xintang shouted angrily at the other side: "Call your director out, arrest the relatives of Hong Kong investors indiscriminately, and undermine the government's investment promotion process. This is all!"
"Hey! Who is so bold and dares to sabotage our government's investment promotion process? This is outrageous and must be punished severely." Situ Li walked out from the facade with a dark voice, followed by the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and
Several deputies.
Seeing that Situ Li was actually here at the city bureau, Yan Xintang's expression changed, and he didn't care to break up with Situ Li. He gritted his teeth and said: "Mayor Situ, what do you want to do by arresting the relatives of our investors without reason? Are you really serious?
Don’t you see me pulling back my investment to contribute to Xiangcheng’s economic development? Are you really the kind of villain who doesn’t like other people’s good deeds?”
Situ Li sneered in his heart. This Yan Xintang didn't know how to be an official. He actually broke up with himself, the mayor, in front of so many grassroots personnel. He said: "Secretary Yan, you can't say such nonsense.
I act impartially. The relative of the investor you mentioned was arrested by the city bureau on suspicion of intentional homicide and traffic accident. All of this was done in accordance with legal procedures and there was no violation of discipline.
place."
Zhou Qiyao, who was also present, changed his expression and said: "Intentional homicide? How could Zhiyi be guilty of intentional homicide? You are unjustly accusing a good person!"
Situ Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Qiyao, and said with a smile: "Zhou Qiyao, Mr. Zhou, right? Hehe, whether you have wronged a good person or not has to be decided by the law. But, judging from the evidence currently available to the city bureau,
The possibility of your grandson being wrongly accused is very low."
"Situ Li, don't bully others too much!" Yan Xintang stared at Situ Li. He didn't know the whole story yet, he just thought that Situ Li was deliberately going against him.
Situ Li shrugged and said nothing, looking businesslike. Yan Xintang gritted his teeth, turned around and walked away.
Zhou Qiyao took a deep look at Situ Li and said, "Mayor Situ, you are so majestic. I have seen it today." After saying that, he left. He knew that he would never see Zhou Zhiyi now, so he had to go back and discuss it further.
Seeing the two people leaving one after another, Situ Li sneered secretly. But he soon stopped laughing, because two hours later, he received a call from the executive vice governor. The vice governor said to
Situ Li said that Hong Kong businessmen who come to invest must be treated with caution and provide appropriate preferential policies to prevent Hong Kong businessmen from being disappointed with the investment environment in the province.
According to his intention, he wanted to treat Zhou Zhiyi's case as an ordinary traffic accident. As the party responsible for the accident, Zhou Zhiyi could also give reasonable compensation to the family of the deceased. However, if the crime of intentional homicide was to be used to implicate Zhou Zhiyi
, it was too much. In the end, he also told Situ Li to handle this matter well so as not to affect investors' confidence in Hong Kong or even the province, and not to damage the harmonious relationship between Hong Kong people and the mainland.
Although the deputy governor had a calm tone and spoke to Situ Li in a completely consultative tone, Situ Li, who has been immersed in official circles for many years, understood that this was already an extremely severe criticism. It affected investors' attitude toward Hong Kong.
The investment confidence of the city and even the province is, on a deeper level, accusing Situ Li of undermining the economic construction of the province and damaging the relationship between Hong Kong and China.
Situ Li didn't dare to wear this big hat, so he immediately called Zhou Hao.
At that time, Zhou Hao, who was having dinner with Li Ruolan, laughed and said after receiving a call from Situ Li: "That deputy governor has such great official authority. Want to turn Zhou Zhiyi's matter into an ordinary traffic accident?
Hum hum hum… I wonder if Yan Xintang is his illegitimate son, who dares to take over anything? Let’s see how he turns this incident into an ordinary traffic accident.”
"Xiao Hao, the other party is an official at the provincial and ministerial level. How about you... how about you say hello to General Zhao and ask him..."
Before Situ Li finished speaking, Zhou Hao smiled pointedly and said: "Uncle Situ, you are looking down on me too much. Such a trivial matter does not need to alarm the power of the Zhao family."
Situ Li was shocked when he heard the words, and heard the faint dissatisfaction in Zhou Hao's tone. At the same time, he was surprised that Zhou Hao's words involved the game between provincial and ministerial level officials, and Zhou Hao actually thought that "such a trivial matter" was not worth mentioning.
"Uncle Situ, just go ahead and do it. Just remember four words - handle it impartially, and I will take care of the rest." Zhou Hao hung up the phone after saying this.
Li Ruolan, who was picking up food for herself next to her, said: "Is there any backer behind Zhou Zhiyi? Xiaohao, you must help that little boy's family, and you can't let that little boy be unjust!"
"Don't worry, Sister Lan." Zhou Hao squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I just want to see if the deputy governor really dares to take this matter into his own hands."
The next day, many unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared in the city of Hong Kong. They inquired about the details of yesterday's accident. They also found the parents of the little boy who died in the car accident and conducted a detailed investigation.
