Lu Yiwei took his time to introduce the country's policies, as well as Nanyang's current situation and future prospects. Ding Changhua was quite satisfied and said, "Your train of thought is very good. Everyone wants a piece of the pie from the development of the Western Region. Zhiyuan has also told me about the future development of Nanyang County. If he is still in Nanyang, he will definitely be involved in urban development. But this is not a small amount. Can you give me a few days to think about it? "
Lu Yiwei knew that Ding Changhua was speaking in a bureaucratic tone, so he said, "Chairman Ding, I know you are busy, so I will also share my thoughts. I will not borrow money from you for nothing. I have already thought about it. I will take back the land and leave the development to you. What do you think? "
Ding Changhua was a businessman, so he smiled and said, "Since I will develop it, why don't I buy back the cannery myself?"
Lu Yiwei felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he patiently said, "Chairman Ding, I also want to make some money from this to subsidize my orchard."
"Okay, I understand what you mean. I will still say the same thing. This is not a small amount. I will give you an answer later, okay?" Ding Changhua felt that Lu Yiwei was a middleman, so he directly extinguished the raging fire that Lu Yiwei had ignited.
Ding Changhua asked him to leave, and Lu Yiwei hit a wall. He regretted coming to find trouble. After saying goodbye to Ding Changhua, he returned to Nanyang County angrily.
Private matters aside, official matters still had to be done. Lu Yiwei returned to Shuyang Coal Mine and began to look for evidence according to the guidance of the Procuratorate's President.
That night, he specially invited a few of his workmates to dinner. After three rounds of drinking, Lu Yiwei threw out a topic, "Brother, I heard that everyone in the purchasing department here is very rich?"
In the beginning, the workmates were still afraid that Lu Yiwei was a leader, but as they drank, they completely forgot about it. They patted Lu Yiwei's shoulder and called him their brother. "He's not just rich. He's so rich that he's overflowing with oil. Let me put it this way. Little Six from the purchasing department has only been working at Shuyang Coal Mine for less than five years. All these years, he had bought two houses in the provincial capital, arranged for his wife to work in the county's women's federation, drove a 500,000 yuan car, and smoked Zhonghua cigarettes. He was just an ordinary person, and he was already so rich. Think about what other people were like. They must be richer than him. Tsk tsk! Even if I worked hard for a whole year, I could only earn less than ten thousand. But he could probably earn more than a hundred thousand just by moving his mouth. People can't be compared with each other. "
Hearing these specific examples, Lu Yiwei quickly asked, "Then how does this Xiao Liuzi earn money?"
"You don't even know this? To think that you are a cadre. " The workmate showed a disdainful expression and said, "Let me put it this way. Last year, the mine imported a shearer from Germany, and it cost tens of millions. That was the price they offered. Later, a friend of mine who is in this line said that the price of that machine is at most 6 million yuan. Good lord! They took more than 4 million yuan in one go. Don't you think they are heartless? These maggots will destroy the coal mine sooner or later! "
Hearing this shocking figure, Lu Yiwei leaned forward and said, "Doesn't the mine know about this? Does no one care? "
"Do you think they don't know? Everyone knows. They just don't want to talk about it. "The workmate continued," Do you think anyone can go to the purchasing department if they want to? Dream on! That Xiao Liuzi I mentioned is the brother-in-law of the Bureau of Land and Resources. Who dares to touch him? Even Tao Anguo has to suck up to him. "
Lu Yiwei was not surprised to hear that there was such a relationship. He said jokingly, "If someone wants to investigate him and asks you to report him, would you dare to do it?"
"No, no, no! I don't have the guts! " The workmate quickly waved his hand and said, "My family has elderly and children to take care of. They are counting on my salary to support them. Even if I want to, I don't have the guts."
Lu Yiwei changed the topic and asked, "Do you support the restructuring of the coal mine?"
The workmate took a sip of wine and said, "How should I put it? I have been working in this coal mine for almost 20 years, and I have feelings for it. Although it is hard and tiring, and I earn less, at least I have food to eat. If the company is restructured and becomes a private company, people at my age will definitely be sent away. I won't even have a bowl to eat. Who can I go to to reason with? So, I don't support the restructuring of the company. I know you are here for the restructuring, and I will be honest with you. If you take this path, there will be a lot of conflicts. I hope you will consider it carefully. "
Lu Yiwei was not angry and said, "If we convert your years of service into shares, and the company pays you a pension, are you willing?"
The workmate fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said, "It depends on how much you can give me."
Lu Yiwei thought for a while and said, "Brother, let me give you an example. Let's say you have 10 years of working experience. If you convert it to 100 shares, if the company's performance is good, you can earn more than 10,000 RMB in a year without working. This is just an example. Maybe it will be more. Are you willing to do it?"
"If this is the case, of course, I am willing." The workmate replied honestly.
At night, Lu Yiwei reported his conversation with the workmate to Bai Yuxin. Bai Yuxin was still unmoved, and the scar at the corner of her eyes twitched. She placed the cup on the coffee table and said, "What you said is similar to what I know, and I have a richer story. Do you want to hear it?"
"Ok."
Bai Yuxin said, "Xiao Liuzi is just a small staff, and the Chief of the Purchasing Department, Ma Linhu, is a big fish. From what I know, Ma Linhu has at least 10 million RMB! This amount is equivalent to 10% of the County's revenue. Do you think Nanyang has no money? All the money is in the pockets of these people. Not only that, but what's even more ridiculous about Ma Linhu is that someone reported that he has four women outside, and two of them have already given birth to his children. It's simply outrageous. "
Lu Yiwei was shocked and asked, "Mayor Bai, Tao Anguo doesn't know about this?"
"How can he not know?" Bai Yuxin said in a serious tone, "The reason why Tao Anguo supports the restructuring of the enterprises is because he is afraid that one day, his crimes will be exposed, and he will be consigned to eternal damnation. He can use the restructuring as a pretext to wash away his sins. Also, do you know who Ma Linhu is? "
Lu Yiwei muttered this name and suddenly said, "Is he brothers with Ma Linhui from Erbao Coal Mine?"
Bai Yuxin nodded. "Yes, Ma Linhu is Ma Linhui's cousin. Ma Linhu worked at Shuyang Coal Mine in his early years, and Ma Linhui returned to the village after he was fired due to financial problems. Ma Linhu looked down on this cousin, and the two of them were not close. Later on, after Ma Linhui became the tyrant of Shiwan Village, he went to Ma Linhu to borrow money, wanting to take back the management rights of the Two Treasures Coal Mine. Not only did Ma Linhu refuse, he even scolded Ma Linhu for doing nothing, saying that he was a man who was never satisfied. Ma Linhui was furious, and when he returned home, he kidnapped Ma Linhu's son. That night, Ma Linhu took 200 thousand yuan and gave it to this cousin, which was the first pot of gold for Ma Linhui's career.
"With Ma Linhu's 200 thousand yuan, Ma Linhui quickly took back the coal mine from Pan Chengjun's hands. As the industry gradually grew, and Ma Linhui took the path to the top, Ma Linhu began to curry favor with Ma Linhui, and the two of them colluded. Of course, Tao Anguo knew about it, but he couldn't afford to offend the representative, Ma Linhui, so he could only turn a blind eye. "
He didn't expect Bai Yuxin to be so detailed in these few days, and Lu Yiwei exclaimed, "Mayor Bai, can we think of it this way? If we take down Ma Linhu, we can open a gap and find out some of Ma Linhui's crimes?"
"Yes." Bai Yuxin nodded. "You can think of it this way."
Nanyang County is a small city, and relationships are intertwined. Who would have thought that there would be such a harvest from the restructuring of Shuyang Coal Mine. Lu Yiwei stood up and said, "This matter should not be delayed. Mayor Bai, please get the County Audit Office to audit the purchasing department's finances."
Bai Yuxin said, "I have already told County Zhang about this matter. I think the audit department will be here in two days."
As expected. Two days later, the County Audit Office's Deputy Director led a team to Shuyang Coal Mine and began to audit the past three years' finances. After more than a week of auditing, the results were shocking. The financial income and expenditure were completely in line with each other, and Bai Yuxin had no place to hide his face.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Bai Yuxin repeated over and over again to check her actions.
Lu Yiwei was also surprised. How can there be no problems! He remembered that his workmate mentioned the shearer that night, and he asked to check the accounts again. This small action was indeed suspicious. There was no record of Germany's imported shearer.
There were only two possibilities. One was that the workmate lied and purposely tarnished the purchasing department's reputation. The other was that the purchasing department embezzled tens of millions of the shearer's funds. However, Lu Yiwei believed the latter.
With this major discovery, Lu Yiwei found out through a lot of investigation that an imported shearer was indeed purchased last year. But because the coal seam was shallow and there was no professional technician who knew how to operate it, it was returned. But no one knew where it was returned to.
This was a very important clue. After getting Bai Yuxin's consent, Lu Yiwei and Tao Anguo had a discussion about this matter.
When Tao Anguo heard Lu Yiwei mention the shearer, he panicked and sweated profusely. After all, he was a leader, so he had a better mentality. He adjusted his emotions and said, "Director Lu, what you said is true. Because of our mistake, we bought an impractical big guy, and we returned it later."
