pinnacle of power

In the meeting room, people from the First Investigation Division and the Second Investigation Division took turns reporting to Liu Qingyu the results of a series of recent investigations and interrogations.

The first to report was Lu Pengyu, deputy director of the Second Investigation Division.

Lu Pengyu said with a bit of excitement in his tone: "Liu Jian, after our interrogation of Guo Chengming, he just confessed the latest clue information. According to his reflection, the reason why he was able to receive so many corrupt officials in Tiandu Province The project of money laundering and transfer of stolen money is inseparable from Hou Yuqiang's introduction. Many of his clients have participated in the dinner organized by Hou Yuqiang.

Although Hou Yuqiang would not say any information related to money laundering and other matters at the dinner, everyone is a smart person. Since Hou Yuqiang introduced Guo Chengming to everyone, everyone knows that Guo Chengming has a good relationship with Hou Yuqiang. This person is good at communication, good at being a person, and generous in his actions. Therefore, many people gradually became friends with him.

Moreover, Guo Chengming also explained that although Hou Yuqiang did not directly ask him to help him launder money, according to his location, Hou Yuqiang has other channels for money laundering, and Hou Yuqiang's method of making money is also very unique.And what he could detect was the construction of skyscrapers in Tiandu. "

"The construction of skyscrapers?" Liu Qingyu asked back.

Lu Pengyu nodded: "That's right, it is Tiandu Bowang Building, the tallest building in Tiandu City! This building starts with the name of Tiandu City and is suffixed with Bowang Investment Group, the investor of the building. This skyscraper is 518 meters high. It is not only the tallest building in Tiandu Province, but also the tallest building in the entire western region. According to Guo Chengming, he believes that Hou Yuqiang is likely to have serious corruption in this project But this is also his one-sided statement, and we are still verifying the specific information."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyu's face suddenly became serious: "So far, has there been any obvious progress on the clues about the Bowang Mansion in Tiandu?"

Lu Pengyu nodded: "Although we only conducted a preliminary investigation, we found that the main investor of Tiandu Bowang Building is Tiandu Provincial Bowang Investment Management Group, which is a state-owned investment management group. The total planned investment of this project of Wang Building is US$108 billion, of which US$60 billion comes from guaranteed loan financing provided by the Tiandu City Government, and the other US$48 billion comes from government-guaranteed financing from Tiandu Province and Bowang Group’s own funds. , it can be said that so far, almost all of the project funds for the entire Bowang Tower come from the government or the financing guarantee provided by the government. However, such a huge project has invested billions of dollars since it was launched the year before last. However, now, this project has been temporarily suspended. That is to say, once this project cannot continue, the billions of financing invested in the early stage will all be lost.”

"What? Billions of dollars? All losses?" Hearing this figure, Liu Qingyu could no longer calm down.If it was several billion RMB, although Liu Qingyu would be shocked, he would not be so uneasy, but now, Lu Pengyu mentioned billions of dollars, even if it is based on a ratio of one to six, it is more than 200 [-] million yuan!This is the hard-earned money of the people.

Liu Qingyu said with a gloomy face: "Up to now, has the Tiandu municipal government or the Bowang Group given a specific explanation for this matter, and has anyone held accountable for this matter?"

Lu Pengyu shook his head: "There is no movement yet, and the parties are still delaying."

The anger on Liu Qingyu's face suddenly became stronger, and he slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense! A project of tens of billions of RMB stopped as soon as it was said to stop, and no one held accountable, no one asked, It’s really unreasonable, it’s simply unreasonable. Didn’t this project plan go through multiple evaluations and demonstrations before? Don’t they know, even if you really build it, will the project be profitable? Is there anyone willing to rent or buy it? They Even if the project is actually completed at a cost of more than 100 billion US dollars, besides creating a landmark building, will it have any practical effect? ​​Can it bring real benefits to the Tiandu city government or the people?"

There was silence in the hall.Everyone shook their heads vigorously.

The people in the arena are all elites on the anti-corruption front. Recently, under the leadership of Liu Qingyu, everyone's horizons have become very broad. They can see very clearly that the so-called Tiandu province first Whether it is a high-rise building or the tallest building in China, under the current economic situation and the current social background, it has lost its role as a gimmick, and the leading role played by its high-rise economy has been completely weakened. , the construction of this kind of skyscrapers is often at a loss.On this point, Shi Yuzhu, the founder of Melatonin, has already made a demonstration with blood lessons.

However, today, there are still some local leaders in various places who are keen on the false name of the tallest building.If these high-rise buildings are constructed by enterprises, it will be fine. After all, enterprises will raise funds and operate themselves. At least the other party will weigh various aspects and actively consider market factors. Even if they lose money, it is the enterprise's own loss.

However, if this kind of project is operated or planned by the local government, then its original purpose has to be pondered.Will this be a performance project?After such a project is completed, how do you carry out market-oriented operation?As a local government, what are your main responsibilities?Is it to operate such a high-rise project?Are you professional enough?

Even the most ordinary person can understand the many problems that exist here. However, neither Liu Qingyu nor the others thought that such a brain-slapping incident would happen in front of their own eyes.

This is a skyscraper project of more than 100 billion US dollars. Doesn't Wang Honghao, who is the secretary of the municipal party committee, know about such a large project?What role did he play in it?What role did Hou Yuqiang, the mayor, play?

For a moment, everyone was lost in thought.

After a while, Liu Qingyu raised his head to look at Wang Jian and said, "Okay, Wang Jian, tell me about the situation in Wuping City."

Subsequently, Wang Jian began to report again.Judging from the situation reported by Wang Jian, Wuping City has also found many clues. These clues all point to Hou Yuqiang's secretary Huang Zilin. , and receive bribes from it.

However, judging from Wang Jian's investigation, although Huang Zilin did the work, many things could not be done if Huang Zilin's secretary was alone. If Hou Yuqiang didn't nod, Huang Zilin couldn't do it at all.However, in all the things that Huang Zilin handled, Hou Yuqiang did not leave the slightest hint.

This is also the main reason why the investigation group has stayed in Wuping City during this period of time and has not returned.Their investigation reached the step of Huang Zilin, and they could no longer go deeper.Although Huang Zilin has been arrested now, although Huang Zilin has also confessed many problems so far, he expresses that he does not know all the information about Hou Yuqiang. He is like a loyal minister full of foolish and loyal thoughts. full of loyalty.He resolutely refused to betray Hou Yuqiang in the slightest. Even if the Guo Chengming incident occurred, he remained loyal to Hou Yuqiang, which brought great difficulty to the investigation of the investigation department.

After listening to the reports from the other directors of the First Investigation Division and the Second Investigation Division, Liu Qingyu's face became extremely solemn.

After listening to this report, Liu Qingyu realized that in the case of Hou Yuqiang, the current situation can be described as mixed.The joy is that there are already clues, but the worry is that it is very difficult to investigate in depth.In particular, the Bowang Building project involved more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, involving the Tiandu Municipal Government and even the Tiandu Provincial Government's state-owned assets department. If you want to really in-depth investigation, you don't need to think about the difficulties you may encounter in the future. No less.

Later, Liu Qingyu made arrangements for these two matters. At the same time, he also reminded the First Investigation Division and the Second Investigation Division that they must truly realize the arduousness of the work at this stage. At the same time, he also pointed out that as anti-corruption personnel, they must be steadfast We will firmly implement the party's principles and policies, and resolutely carry out the anti-corruption work to the end without fear of difficulties.

For Liu Qingyu's deployment and reminder, the people in the two divisions naturally listened to it.

After the meeting, when he returned to the office, Liu Qingyu immediately fell into deep thinking.

After thinking for more than half an hour, Liu Qingyu woke up from his contemplation, turned on the computer, logged on to the Internet, and started Baidu and Tiandu Bowang Building related information.

Through the information on Baidu, Liu Qingyu has a better understanding of the whole project.

The Bowang Building project was put forward by an American architectural design company in the spring of the previous year, and gave a pretty good prospect plan and assessment. This opinion and assessment report aroused the attention of the Tiandu Municipal Government. He attached great importance to it and personally interviewed the person in charge of this American construction company. Less than a month after the friendly talks between the two parties, Tiandu began to set up an expert group to evaluate and demonstrate the entire Bowang Building project. After more than a month After evaluation and demonstration procedures, the final evaluation report was approved in the province, and the entire Bowang Building project was officially approved.

Originally, at the beginning of the project, the original plan was to introduce market funds to carry out market-oriented operation of the entire project. At that time, several companies were indeed very interested in this project, but after some contacts, all of these companies withdrew.

Later, the Tiandu city government directly made a decision. Since your market company will not participate, the Tiandu Bowang Investment Group will have full authority to operate this matter.For the follow-up matter, Liu Qingyu couldn't come out of Baidu.

Judging from a lot of information Liu Qingyu, I don't know whether it was because of sensitivity or some other factors, but all the posts were deleted.Liu Qingyu suddenly became curious, since such a public project, why did you delete these related posts on the Internet discussing this project?Who is it that is afraid?What are they afraid of?
