After a while, Li Rui thought that this was not a trivial matter, and it might create a big case. After all, the scope involved was too large. Han Shui's company alone had developed many residential buildings in the city, and there were several other big families and dozens of small and medium-sized real estate development companies. All the real estate developers together had developed almost 90% of the residential buildings in the city. Except for Han Shui, the other real estate developers probably didn't have any good products, and they would take advantage of this loophole to make money. If this case was exposed, Han Shui would be brought to justice, but it would also cause a stir in the city.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little scared. If it really caused a huge disturbance in the city, it was likely to lead to a mass incident, which would affect the boss's administration and the reputation of Qingyang. In this case, was it necessary to report this to the boss? But on second thought, it didn't matter. He and the boss were only targeting Han Shui, and it wouldn't affect other developers, so he didn't have to worry too much.
The next day was Saturday. Qingman could still rest at home, but Li Rui was picked up by Lao Zhou early in the morning as usual. The two went to pick up the boss, Song Chaoyang, and went to the Municipal Party Committee to work overtime. Song Chaoyang was very competent as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. On weekends, he almost never used the holidays to go out to eat, drink, and have fun. Except for the private affairs that he had to do, most of the time he went to work overtime.
After receiving Song Chaoyang, Li Rui didn't hesitate to tell him about Wang Youcai's experience last night.
After listening, Song Chaoyang thought about it and said, "As far as I know, most buyers will encounter this situation when they take the key to the house. They have to pay for the extra area. Only a small number of buyers encounter the opposite situation. That is, the area of the house is smaller than the contract area, and they will get the money back from the developer. In other words, this problem is universal, and most buyers will accept it, even if they have no choice. This has become a widely accepted existence, which is a reasonable reality. Now, the situation you're talking about is to expose this matter from the root, overturn reality, and expose the bloody scars that most buyers have bought with money. What do you think will happen? "
Li Rui nodded and said, "I have also considered this point. If it is not handled properly, it will cause a shock to the whole city, which will lead to endless incidents and chaos that threaten the government's governance and social stability."
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "It's good that you know this. Real estate is the foundation of people's lives. Shaking real estate is tantamount to shaking the foundation of people. Therefore, this matter must be handled carefully. It must be limited to a controllable range, and it must not be investigated and exposed in the name of what you said. "
Li Rui retorted, "Now, it's not us who want to shake the property. It's the black-hearted businessmen like Han Shui who are taking advantage of the property to rob the people of their hard-earned money."
Song Chaoyang waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this first. This morning, you should find a professional surveying unit and personnel to measure the area of your Uncle Wang's house. See if the area increased by that much, then judge whether the developer has cheated the buyers or not. Once it is a fraud, it means that there is collusion between the developer and the Housing Management Bureau. We need to dig deeper into this point and then convict Han Shui. We can't use the increased area of the house as an excuse, otherwise, it will wake up countless people who have paid for it. If they make a fuss, haha, there will be no peace in the city. "
Li Rui agreed and immediately took out his mobile phone. He called his father, Li Jianmin, and asked him for Wang Youcai's contact information.
After arriving at the Municipal Party Committee, Li Rui got Wang Youcai's mobile phone number and immediately dialed it.
After the phone was connected, Li Rui first introduced himself, and then told Wang Youcai that he was willing to help him confirm whether the new area of the house in Nanzhu Garden was correct. Wang Youcai was very happy and thanked him greatly on the phone. Li Rui politely asked him which unit the surveying team hired by Huasheng Real Estate Development Company came from. Wang Youcai told him that it was the Surveying Department of the Northern District Housing Management Bureau.
As soon as Li Rui heard this, he knew that if he were to look for a surveying and mapping unit, he definitely couldn't look for the Housing Management Bureau in the Northern District of the City. He told Wang Youcai to prepare a person from his family. When he contacted the surveying and mapping unit, they would meet up and go to the house in Nanzhu Garden for field measurement.
Wang Youcai said that he would let his wife do it because he and his son both had to go to work.
Li Rui felt very strange and asked, "Uncle Wang, I heard from my father that in your family, only your son and daughter-in-law work to earn money. Didn't you retire long ago?"
Wang Youcai said angrily, "This new house suddenly has an extra 100,000 yuan. How can I stay here and only spend money and not earn money? Xiao Rui, tell me, I'm sixty years old, and I still have to get up early and work late to earn money. Is there any justice in this …? "
Li Rui sighed and hung up the phone. He took out the municipal department's phone book and turned to the page of the Municipal Housing Management Bureau. He stared at the surveying and mapping office under the Municipal Housing Management Bureau for a long time. Today was Saturday. The surveying and mapping office was definitely not open, and he had to complete the surveying and mapping task, so he could only repeat the old trick. He called the Housing Management Bureau and asked him to find a few surveyors for his use. However, in order to prevent the surveying and mapping from leaking out, he couldn't tell the truth.
Thinking of this, he turned back to the Housing Management Bureau's entry page and dialed the phone number.
"… Thank you so much, Director Liu. Because of my personal affairs, I have to trouble Director Liu on the weekend. I'm so sorry. I'll invite you to dinner later. Hehe, goodbye …"
As the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he had a lot of privileges. Even if he didn't know the other party, the other party had to greet him with a smile when he called. Sometimes, Li Rui would have an illusion that he had become the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Fortunately, it was just an illusion, and he didn't become arrogant because of it.
When Li Rui called Director Liu of the Municipal Housing Management Bureau, he only said that he had a relative who wanted to measure the house. Therefore, he asked Director Liu to find two surveyors. He didn't say whether the house was a new house or an old one. He also didn't say which neighborhood the house belonged to. The reason why he was so careful was because he was afraid that Director Liu had already colluded with Han Shui. If Director Liu figured out the truth and told Han Shui, it would be difficult for him to continue. Fortunately, Director Liu knew how to conduct himself. He didn't ask any unnecessary questions. He just listened to Li Rui's request and readily agreed.
The two agreed that the surveyors would wait at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee. Li Rui would meet them downstairs and then go to the relative's house to measure the size of the house.
While waiting for the surveyors, Li Rui received a text message from Yuan Jingjing. "Are you coming today?"
Li Rui suddenly remembered that he still had a date with her to celebrate her transfer to the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau. This date had been postponed from Monday to the weekend. Today, he couldn't postpone it anymore. Since he was going to survey Wang Youcai's new house today, it wasn't a problem to take some time out. He replied, "I'll be there at noon."
Yuan Jingjing replied with a sad emoji. He didn't know what it meant. Li Rui didn't ask much. Anyway, he would know when he saw her at noon.
At 9 am, the two surveyors arrived at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee. Li Rui received the call and drove straight to Nanzhu Garden to pick them up. Before that, Li Rui had contacted Wang Youcai and asked him to tell his wife to wait at the entrance of Nanzhu Garden in advance. Once his people arrived, they could start measuring.
On the way, Li Rui carefully asked the two surveyors, "Teachers, under normal circumstances, is there any discrepancy between the area measured by the district level surveying and mapping unit and the area measured by the municipal level surveying and mapping unit?"
The older of the two surveyors replied, "The measurement methods and calculation methods of the municipal level and the district level are the same. The measuring equipment used is also the same. In theory, there shouldn't be any discrepancy. Even if there is a discrepancy, it won't be too big."
Li Rui was shocked. If that was the case, then the Surveying and Mapping Department of the Northern District Housing Bureau couldn't cheat in the measurement methods and measuring equipment. They could only cheat in the calculation methods. But wasn't that equivalent to cheating in public? It would be easily exposed. Did they have the guts to do that? After hesitating for a while, he explained, "One of my uncles bought a new house. When he received the key, he was suddenly told that the house area was 9.6 square meters more than the contracted area. If he had to pay for the extra 10 square meters, it would be fine. But what's more disgusting is that the increase in area also caused a change in the deed tax. The deed tax suddenly doubled. My uncle couldn't accept this, so he found me and asked me to help find a professional surveyor to measure and see if there was really that much extra square meters. It would be best if we could avoid the change in the deed tax …"
When the two surveying and mapping engineers heard this, they both smiled bitterly and helplessly. The older engineer said, "Director Li, I have to say something unpleasant. You think too much. If that house has been surveyed by the surveying and mapping unit of the Housing Management Bureau, then we can only use the area measured by that unit. The area measured by other surveying and mapping units won't be considered, and it's meaningless. Why is that? Because the neighborhood where that house is located is under the jurisdiction of the Housing Bureau. All the data is determined by the Housing Bureau. Even if we measure it again and really find the problem, it's useless. It means that they are the official statement, and we are the civilian statement. Of course, the official statement has the final say. "
