Chapter 519 Official Oilman Tian Fengyi
Wang Rucheng returned to the car and explained what had happened.
He Anxia and Qi Tongwei were stunned.
I've heard of people blocking roads to demand wages, but I've never heard of the mayor taking the lead in doing so. It's truly a rare story.
Qi Tongwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and grasped the crux of the matter, "Minister Wang, even if Hangang really owes money, we can't do anything about it."
Although Hangang is located in Beishan City, it is a national vice-ministerial unit, and the chairman's rank is higher than theirs. Moreover, Hangang is responsible for its own profits and losses, which is not something they can interfere with at all.
Wang Rucheng told the truth, "Actually...it's not just Hangang. Many companies in Beishan City are in debt. But compared to Hangang, the amount owed by other companies is just a drop in the bucket."
Well, I really encountered creditors right after taking office.
Wang Rucheng added, "This Tian Fengyi is actually a political gangster and a corrupt official. He's been a traitor to several of Beishan City's top and second-in-command officials. We're not alone. I suggest we meet him and pretend to agree to his demands first, and then we can get through this hurdle."
Qi Tongwei and He Anxia exchanged a glance, and He Anxia nodded slightly. "Since he's the creditor, then let's meet him."
He Anxia was about to stand up when Qi Tongwei pushed him back to his seat. "Anxia, please stay. Since he's the mayor of Wenshan City, I, the mayor, will reason with him. King versus king, general versus general."
He Anxia nodded and said, "Okay." He then instructed, "Tongwei, we should talk to this political gangster if we can. If we can't convince him, we should just go home."
When Wang Rucheng heard this, he became anxious. These two were not the kind of people who would suffer a loss.
If these two really go back home, this political gangster doesn’t know whether he will suffer or not, but he will definitely not end up well.
Qi Tongwei nodded and got out of the car, followed closely by Wang Rucheng.
As soon as he got off the car, Qi Tongwei used a skill at Tian Fengyi.
"【Check】
[Purple] Tian Fengyi, Status: Opposition
Sign-in probability: 0
Background: Yu Huabei, current member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection
Oh, no wonder, I have something to rely on.
The Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has such great power!
Qi Tongwei tugged at his clothes and walked forward, "Hello, Mayor Tian."
Tian Fengyi was stunned. Why did a young man come down?
"Where's your leader?"
Wang Rucheng hurriedly introduced: "Feng Yi, this is the new mayor of Beishan City, Mayor Qi Tongwei."
Tian Fengyi was immediately shocked.
mayor?
How old is this guy? Is he thirty?
Tian Fengyi suddenly felt that he had miscalculated. How much power does it take for such a young man to become the mayor?
Province? Ministry? Central government?
Tian Fengyi suppressed his uneasiness and said with a smile, "Hello, Mayor Qi."
Qi Tongwei was in no mood for politeness. When dealing with political hooligans, momentum was crucial. Unleashing his [Aura], Qi Tongwei spoke without a trace of politeness. Pointing at the workers blocking the road, he said, "I'd like to be well, but some people don't want me to be well on the first day. Mayor Tian, isn't your welcome ceremony a bit unconventional?"
In Tian Fengyi's eyes, Qi Tongwei's behavior showed that he had a strong background.
He felt like he had hit a wall.
In the past, when those people took office, they were tough but they knew their limits. As soon as they heard his name, they would be polite to him.
The reason is very simple. He owes money and he has the support of his old boss.
Tian Fengyi laughed and said, "Mayor Qi, I'm in a difficult situation too. This worker is doing this to protect his legitimate interests. It's a helpless move. As a parent official, I feel guilty..."
Qi Tongwei interrupted directly, "Okay, Mayor Tian, don't play tricks like this in front of me. Regarding the debt owed by the companies under Beishan City, I can't answer you now. I need to understand the situation first and verify it.
I'm giving you two options now. One is to get out of the way and give us some time. If we really owe you money, our Beishan City will definitely not default on it.
Second, I'm going home now. It's up to you, Mayor Tian, to explain to the Provincial Party Committee!
Tian Fengyi was absolutely certain that this person came with a big background.
Tian Fengyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course." He then turned to the secretary and said, "Hurry up and ask the workers to get out of the way. Mayor Qi has already agreed to pay them their wages, and they will be paid as soon as possible."
The secretary immediately raised his voice and passed the message down. When the workers heard it, they cheered.
Qi Tongwei frowned, said nothing, turned around and got into the car with an expressionless face.
Wang Rucheng knew that Tian Fengyi had offended the new mayor badly this time. He pointed at Tian Fengyi and said, "You! Do you know that Secretary Pei specially invited this new mayor from Handong? If Secretary Pei finds out, you'll be in trouble."
Tian Fengyi was stunned and wanted to ask what was going on, but Wang Rucheng had already waved his hand and got into the car.
The bus started again, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Seeing He Anxia, Qi Tongwei's face darkened. He didn't dare to keep Wang Rucheng secret any longer and told him everything in detail.
Beishan City has a long history of debt arrears.
It was fine before Tian Fengyi came to power, but since he took office three years ago, he has started to collect debts, and from time to time he goes to the provincial capital to complain that Beishan City is dragging down the economy of Wenshan City.
The leaders of Beishan City have lost all face as a result of this incident.
It’s not that the previous top leaders of the Party and government didn’t want to deal with this problem, but faced with enterprises that have been making losses year after year, the city cannot provide money. Even if it can, it will not provide it. The predecessor owes money, so why should they fill the hole? If they take it, they will be left with nothing.
So I just practiced Tai Chi with Tian Fengyi.
It turns out that Tian Fengyi is not a simple person either. He did something even more drastic. He directly implemented a "blockade sanction". Not only did he not repair the damaged land, but he also charged a fee if a truck delivered steel, regardless of whether your unit owed money or not.
The leaders of Beishan City couldn't do anything about him and could only accept it. At least the payment was changed from full payment to installment payment, which reduced the pressure.
It can be said that Tian Fengyi also has to bear some responsibility for the fact that previous party and government officials did not last long.
But if you ask me if there is anything wrong with him, I really can't say.
Tian Fengyi's slogans were all about collecting debts for the workers, which was justified. He also shouted: If an official does not serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Moreover, he did not take a penny of the money he got back, but gave it all away.
In this way, the contradiction of Wenshan City's underdevelopment was diverted. Many people gave Tian Fengyi a thumbs up and really believed that the reason why Wenshan City had not developed was because it was dragged down by Beishan City.
In fact, everyone knows that Tian Fengyi is a corrupt official.
Yes, he is not greedy, but if you ask him, he has not accomplished anything great or accomplished anything big, no.
Wenshan City's economy has remained stagnant in recent years.
But this person does have a good reputation.
Not only did the people praise him, but the cadres in Wenshan City also agreed with him.
Why? Because everyone benefited from him.
For example, other municipal leading cadres in a bureau may have at most one director and three deputy directors. However, in Wenshan City after Tian Fengyi took office, a bureau can have six or seven deputy directors, or even as many as ninety.
He was given so many free official hats as a favor, and no one could find any fault with it.
