The director of the municipal bureau, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation and economic investigation, and Zhang Yang, the captain of the serious crime team, stood in front of him.
Zhou Liang asked them to sit down and opened the case report to read.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and his face became heavier.
Half an hour later, Zhou Liang asked, "Are you sure?"
The two directors looked at Zhang Yang, and the director said, "Zhang Yang, you come and report."
Zhang Yang stood up immediately.
"Sit and talk." Zhou Liang knew Zhang Yang and was able to recover more than 40 million US dollars that was defrauded of the German equipment imported from the Xihai Sugar Factory a few years ago. The captain of the serious crime team played an important role and was therefore rated as
A second-level hero in the public security system.
Zhang Yang did not hesitate, sat down and reported, "It is certain. The Mingzhu Chaosheng Trading Company controlled by Changshan started collaborating with foreign companies to do the business of smuggling electrical appliances three years ago. They did not invest any money and relied entirely on getting through.
The relationship allowed overseas electrical appliances to be brought ashore and huge profits were made from them.”
"This time they organized a large amount of frozen pork with foreign companies and planned to enter the Nangang area through normal customs clearance and smuggling ashore. Their cost is only one-third of local pork. We suspect it is problematic pork."
"If this batch of frozen pork enters the mainland on a large scale, it will not only seriously threaten the health of the people, but also seriously impact the price of local pork. After investigation, we analyzed that this is an unfair competition method of smashing the market and rebuilding it. Simple.
To put it bluntly, it is to seize the market with extremely low prices, or even to seize the market at the risk of bearing a certain loss. After monopolizing the market, you will have the pricing power, and then you can raise the price."
"We haven't found any foreign companies that Changshan is cooperating with, but it is certain that they have strong financial support and are promoting this plan through capital operations."
Zhang Yang's report ends here.
Zhou Liang pondered, judging from Zhang Yang's report, once this plan is realized, the stomachs of the people in the Nangang area will be in the hands of foreigners, and the pig breeding industry in the area will be abolished.
This is a big deal!
If he was not aware of the importance of pork two years ago, now with the advancement of the Baojun Automobile production base battle, he can no longer see the importance of pork and pork prices in the macro economy. As a mayor, he
It's just unqualified.
Yao Yuan once discussed the pork issue with him, and he spoke very comprehensively and thoroughly. Yao Yuan's conclusion was simple and crude: Grain production is related to national stability, and grain prices are related to social stability; pork production reflects living standards, and pork prices reflect the macroeconomics.
The Nangang area has a population of more than seven million. As the mayor who is determined to bring the people's lives in Nangang area to a higher level during his term of office, Zhou Liang has put a lot of effort into studying Yao Yuan's conclusion, and he feels very deeply.
Zhou Liang fell into deep thought again. After a long time, he said, "Smash the market and build it again. Is this what you have concluded?"
"Reporting to the mayor, it was the economic experts from Southern Industrial who provided help," Zhang Yang said.
Zhou Liang was relieved. Except for Yao Yuan's group, there were not many people in China who had this ability. Such talents were basically national-level think tanks.
The director asked for instructions, "Mayor Zhou, if we want to continue the investigation, we cannot rely on the public security department alone. We need to conduct a joint investigation with customs, border defense and other units. This requires your coordination."
Zhou Liang did not hesitate and said, "Set up a joint task force. I will coordinate with the customs, border defense and other departments, and let the industry and commerce and market departments send personnel to participate to get to the bottom of it!"
"Yes!" The director was very excited. It was another big case. "So, who will take the lead?"
Zhou Liang thought about it and said, "Each one has his or her own emphasis. The Changshan case involves corruption in some departments. You have to work with the disciplinary inspection department to find these people for me."
Zhang Yang couldn't help but said, "Mayor Zhou, the joint task force should be led by us. The customs and border defense rarely handle cases, and this case also involves criminal crimes, so they can't handle it."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Zhou Liang didn't finish his sentence.
Customs and border defense are vertical management units. The customs director and border defense detachment leader are at the same administrative level as Zhou Liang. Zhou Liang cannot decide and must coordinate.
Zhang Yang and others left. Zhou Liang picked up the phone and wanted to call Yao Yuan. He was about to dial the number, but he hesitated and put the phone on the phone for a while before giving up the idea.
Yao Yuan definitely knew about it and was involved in the bidding incident, but Yao Yuan didn't come over and didn't even call.
Zhou Liang also roughly understood that because of his status, Yao Yuan was the owner of a private enterprise after all, and it was inappropriate no matter how he looked at it, he was too involved in government administrative affairs.
In fact, his guess was right. Yao Yuan was afraid of his own influence. Once he came forward, judging from the current situation, no matter how reluctant the city government was, it would 100% follow his opinions because he was Nangang
The economic backbone of the region.
Yao Yuan just doesn't want to be that kind of person, so he has always been cautious and controlled his influence very carefully.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Liang even thought that this might be Yao Yuan testing the city government's ability to maintain the market environment. If he didn't do something well or couldn't do it, he would inevitably lose points in front of Yao Yuan. This is
One of the reasons why Zhou Liang dared to make a decision and get to the bottom of it.
If you want to conduct a thorough investigation, you cannot ignore Mingzhu City. It is the headquarters of the Changshan gang, and key evidence may even appear in Mingzhu City.
As a municipality with the same weight as Guangdong Province, the political status of Mingzhu City is actually higher than that of Guangdong Province. This is not something that the mayor of Zhouliang District, a prefecture-level city, can coordinate.
After weighing it up, Zhou Liang picked up the case report and put it in his briefcase. He asked his secretary to immediately book a flight at 1pm and go to the province to report to Vice Governor Zhang and ask the province to come forward to coordinate with Mingzhu City.
Yao Yuan was surprised by how quickly Zhou Liang acted. It was precisely because of Zhou Liang's decisiveness that he caught the Changshan gang off guard.
The province held a meeting and decided to form a joint task force under the leadership of the provincial department. All relevant personnel in the Nangang area were transferred to the joint task force of the province and department, uniting multiple departments, and an invisible war to defend pork quietly began.
closed the curtain.
In order to cooperate with the investigation of the joint task force, Nanfang Industrial did not cancel the supply contracts of eight food companies including Hai Chaosheng Food, but continued to fulfill them, thereby attracting the Changshan gang and paralyzing their opponents.
Of course Yao Yuan is not idle, but his attention has been focused abroad. The overseas branch of the concierge department has been secretly investigating all recent pork trade activities related to China and following the clues.
