Chapter 971 Entering the Provincial Party Committee Office
Secretary Lu nodded with worry on his face, thought for a moment, and asked Secretary Li: "Which counties and cities are currently hardest hit by illegal fund-raising in our province? Have the Discipline Inspection Commission and the public security department taken any preventive measures? What are the local party and government leaders?" What is your attitude?"
Secretary Li replied: "Currently, the hardest hit areas for illegal fund-raising in our province are Zinan City in City Z, which is the county-level city where Mr. Zhang lives; the other is Huangye County in City T. In addition, Xiaoye's Xinlang County, my hometown, is also a hardest-hit area. These counties and cities with serious illegal fund-raising phenomena have a common characteristic. They are all resource-based cities. In these places, many people rely on coal mining, antimony mining, and lead mining. A nouveau riche who made a fortune overnight in a zinc mine.
“As the prices of coal, antimony products and lead-zinc ore have continued to fall in recent years, these nouveau riche have begun to bring large sums of money with them and want to change careers. However, due to their own limitations, they have no other way to change careers and have no choice but to There are two ways to go: either open an investment company and make money by raising money and lending money; or you can just don’t think about anything and directly invest your surplus funds in some big investment companies to earn high interest, and, in In these resource-rich counties and cities, the people are relatively wealthy, and most of them have some spare money. Therefore, they all invest their money in investment companies and earn high interest rates that are several times higher than those in banks.
“Because there are so many people involved in illegal fund-raising in these counties and cities, cracking down on investment companies is likely to trigger social unrest. Therefore, the leaders of these counties and cities that have suffered serious disasters are now using a cover-up approach to deal with the problem. Illegal fund-raising activities turned a blind eye, and some leaders even secretly helped large investment companies obtain bank loans, hoping to help them tide over the difficulties, at least not to cause large-scale turmoil during their tenure. .
"Our Discipline Inspection Commission has no way to deal with this phenomenon for the time being. We can only arrange people to investigate secretly and understand some situations. We cannot take any action for the time being because the crackdown on illegal fund-raising is mainly a matter for the public security organs. We, the Discipline Inspection Commission, can only Investigate and punish party members and leading cadres suspected of illegal fund-raising or dereliction of duty, so I still have no solution now,"
Secretary Lu showed an angry look in his eyes and said: "On the issue of prohibiting illegal fund-raising, the provincial party committee has issued several documents one after another, but the following have been violating it openly and secretly. They dare not and are unwilling to deal with this kind of thing that can easily cause social unrest. Illegal activities will be cracked down on. I think that if this powder keg is not eliminated before August next year, our Tianjiang Provincial Committee will definitely face an extremely severe situation in the future, and it may even affect the convening of the Party Congress. By then, How do we explain to the central government and how do we explain to the people of the province?"
Secretary Li thought for a while and said: "Secretary Lu, I have an idea: the provincial party committee has now issued a document requiring those counties and cities where illegal fund-raising occurs to take action within six months to resolutely crack down on and ban all types of illegal fund-raising." Investment companies that illegally raised funds, and these investment companies must return the funds raised to investors. After half a year, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Public Security Department, and the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office sent several inspection teams to those illegal Counties and municipalities with serious fund-raising disasters will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the local implementation of the provincial party committee's decisions. If any local rectification is not in place and illegal fund-raising still exists, the local leaders will be subject to party and government disciplinary sanctions. In serious cases, They can be held legally responsible. I think only in this way can we dispel the chance mentality of those local party and government leaders who want to get away with it and make them pay great attention to this issue."
After listening to Li Runji's proposal, Secretary Lu frowned, thought for a while, nodded and said: "Comrade Runji, your method is very good. I feel that if the provincial party committee does not increase supervision and send people to keep an eye on At the bottom, some comrades below are very unconscious, and they will follow the rules and follow the policy, which is a very headache. On the issue of illegal fund-raising, if we don’t send a few capable inspection teams to supervise It is really difficult to fundamentally solve this huge social problem that is very dangerous and terrible."
When Ye Ming heard Secretary Li mentioning the Inspection Office of the Provincial Party Committee, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart: After graduating from the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, the most likely possibility would be to work in the Inspection Office of the Provincial Party Committee first. If he could participate in the inspection operations against illegal fund-raising, It is a good way to give full play to your abilities and see results quickly.
So, he half-joked and half-seriously said to Secretary Li: "Secretary Li, if I can successfully enter the Provincial Party Committee Office, I will probably work in the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office. By then, if a joint inspection team is to be established, I want to go down to inspect places where illegal fund-raising is serious. I want to take the initiative to join the inspection team. I am a young person and should go down there more often. Besides, I have been working at the grassroots level and I understand Regarding the inside stories and methods of some investment companies and illegal fund-raising, if I join the inspection team, I should have certain advantages. When the time comes, please ask Secretary Li to approve my request, haha,"
When Secretary Lu heard Ye Ming take the initiative to say that he wanted to join the inspection team that cracked down on illegal fund-raising, he was also moved in his heart: It is indeed a good idea to let Ye Ming join a joint inspection team. In this way, he can both Go to the local area and get to know more officials, and you can also achieve results in the inspection team, which will lay a good foundation for him to get an exceptional promotion in the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office in the future.
So, without waiting for Secretary Li's answer, Secretary Lu said first: "Comrade Runji, I think Xiaoye's enthusiasm for volunteering to join the war is good. We should encourage it. Let's do this. When the time comes, let Comrade Runji personally order your generals." Transferred to the joint inspection team,"
Secretary Lu now wanted his son to make great achievements, so he spoke for him and approved him to join the future joint inspection team. However, he never expected at this time: Ye Ming would later participate in the joint effort to combat illegal fund-raising. During the investigation, he would encounter such great risks, and even almost lose his life. If he could foresee this, he would never let his son take that kind of risk...
After having that meal with Ye Ming at Secretary Lu's house, Xiao Jin became more attentive and caring about Ye Ming's study and life. When Ye Ming graduated, not only did his academic performance rank among the best in the class, but he also almost All the teachers and class committee members who rated him gave him a high score of more than 90 points, allowing him to successfully enter the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office in March of the following year, and Xiao Jin himself , was also promoted to deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee at the end of that year.
