Chapter 159 concludes the corruption case.
Regarding the idea of contracting a section of the river for sand mining, Qi Tongwei said that the township would consider it after some time.
Because if more people start mining river sand, it will affect Zhichao Company's profits and create many conflicts.
Currently, only Zhichao Company is mining river sand on the Biyun River, occupying the best location.
Zhichao Company must recoup its initial investment and make a profit.
The road construction and pond digging projects alone amounted to nearly a million dollars, while the land reclamation project behind them was even larger, amounting to two or three million dollars.
Only after Zhichao Company has recouped its initial investment will Qi Tongwei lift the restrictions and allow more people to participate in the sand mining of Biyun River.
Of course, at present, it is unrealistic for Zhichao Company to make back its losses by relying on river sand.
River sand doesn't sell much right now; most of it is just dredged up and piled up.
However, with the development of Biyun Township and Yunmeng County, the demand for river sand will increase significantly.
At that time, Zhichao Company will be able to sell sand in large quantities.
Therefore, we need to get Zhichao Company to accumulate more sand.
The main problem is that Zhichao Company is still manually dredging sand; excavators haven't started digging yet.
Once the excavators start digging, the speed of river sand extraction will greatly increase.
As for those who came to collect debts, Qi Tongwei only had two words for them—no money.
The township can't even guarantee the salaries of cadres, teachers, and medical staff, let alone pay off debts.
Qi Tongwei felt there was a lot of shady dealing involved in the 500 million yuan debt owed by the previous government, and that it needed to be thoroughly investigated.
Because the money was spent in a murky way, many projects were just for show, and there wasn't even a decent unfinished project.
An unfinished project can still be continued, since it's mostly completed.
The project undertaken by the previous Biyun Township government was basically just a gate.
It's comparable to a certain residential complex built by a real estate company in later generations.
The residential complex built by that real estate company has sold out all the houses, but there's only one main gate.
The project isn't even finished, so why should we be asking for debts?
"It's time to investigate; those companies are selling at prices that are too low!"
And those projects, they invested so much money, but we can't see anything at all—it's all a complete scam!
Chen Xinghua agreed to investigate the former township-owned enterprises to clarify the issue of the loss of state-owned assets involved.
This is also a further investigation into the previous systemic corruption incident in Biyun Township.
Furthermore, those projects undertaken by the previous government, with an investment of five million, have yielded absolutely no results, which is highly unreasonable.
With an investment of five million, if construction had been carried out, Biyun Township would not be in its current state.
It should be noted that five million is a significant investment in a county town, which can greatly improve the town's development.
"I'll make arrangements as soon as I get back!"
Previously, the aim was to stabilize the situation. Now that the situation has stabilized, it's time to conduct a thorough investigation into the systemic corruption.
Back in Biyun Township, Qi Tongwei had Zhang Feiyang summon him to his office.
"Township head, you wanted to see me?"
Upon receiving the notification, Zhang Feiyang rushed over immediately. During this period, he had been busy overseeing family planning work.
Because of previous corruption incidents, the village's family planning work was paralyzed for a long time.
Although work resumed later, a lot of work had fallen behind and many things needed to be dealt with.
"In the past two or three months, in order to appease everyone and restore the work of many departments, the township has not continued to conduct in-depth investigations into the corruption incident."
Now that the impact of the corruption incident has diminished and no longer affects the normal work of the township, it's time to wrap things up.
As instructed by the Party Secretary, the township plans to continue investigating areas where problems still exist in order to thoroughly resolve the previous corruption cases.
Qi Tongwei said that the township should conduct a thorough investigation into the previous corruption cases and bring them to a close.
"Yes, Mayor! I'll arrange for the Discipline Inspection Commission to conduct an investigation immediately!"
In fact, Zhang Feiyang had already arranged for the discipline inspection commission officials to continue the investigation.
Whether it's those unfinished projects or the sale of the restored township-owned enterprises, there are significant problems.
The people arrested last time were only government employees; those who contracted projects and bought township-owned enterprises were not arrested.
Seeing that no one in the township or county was making any other moves, these people started dancing again.
Arresting them would give the county some closure.
However, it is not easy to find evidence if you conduct a large-scale investigation and make arrests.
He secretly arranged for people to investigate and has already gathered evidence. Now, he is just waiting for the township to give the order.
Since becoming deputy secretary and secretary of the discipline inspection commission, Zhang Feiyang has wanted to achieve some results within his scope of work.
Family planning work is rarely successful, and given the special circumstances in Biyun Township, this year's family planning work is bound to be at the bottom.
The only thing we can do is to achieve something with the disciplinary committee.
"Secretary Feiyang, we need to investigate two main issues: the loss of state-owned assets and engineering problems!"
Especially regarding engineering issues, an investment of several million dollars has yielded little progress over such a long period, which is highly unusual.
Qi Tongwei emphasized the key point: investigate these two issues, and you'll definitely find a lot of problems.
"Yes, Mayor!"
Zhang Feiyang also investigated the two points Qi Tongwei mentioned, which made it easy to make a breakthrough.
Within a few days, Zhang Feiyang had investigated the matter thoroughly, and Qi Tongwei instructed the police station to assist the township discipline inspection commission in arresting the individuals.
Soon, the owners of the former township enterprises and the owners of the projects contracted by the previous government were all arrested.
After the interrogation, the township discipline inspection commission handed the person over to the county discipline inspection commission, since this person was involved in the previous corruption case, and through them they could investigate more of those people's problems.
The more problems you uncover, the easier it is to explain to your superiors, and the more achievements you will have.
Qi Tongwei gave Chen Xinghua a detailed report of the results and asked him to report to the county.
Qi Tongwei did not make the decision on his own, but instead asked Chen Xinghua to convene a Party committee meeting to discuss these township-owned enterprises and projects invested in by the previous government.
Qi Tongwei could have discussed it with Chen Xinghua and decided what to do directly.
But Qi Tongwei didn't want to cause trouble for himself, because it would be a problem if Liang Lu caught him red-handed.
"Now that everyone knows what happened, let's discuss what to do next regarding these companies and projects."
After Zhang Feiyang reported the investigation results and the handling of the relevant personnel, Chen Xinghua asked everyone to study the arrangements for these enterprises and projects.
"I think these companies should be put back up for auction!"
These projects should continue to receive investment and construction!
Fu Ruiqi was the first to speak, saying that these companies had previously sold for too low a price, and that a re-auction could potentially fetch a reasonable price.
In this way, the village will have money and can continue to carry out those projects.
The original contractor was arrested, so he arranged for someone else to take over the contract.
"I agree with Committee Member Fu's opinion!"
This way, we can recover our losses, avoid the burden of the large enterprise, and simultaneously contribute to the development of the township!
Weng Suyi followed suit, sharing the same opinion as Fu Ruiqi.
The village is short of money, and this is a good opportunity to make some.
Those projects cannot be abandoned; they are their achievements.
