Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 223: Dismantling the Nail House Group

Several elderly people were crying and begging for pity in the street office. They now knew that they would not be able to live in the sea sand houses on the tidal flats for much longer, and the purpose of their visit this time was to ask for more money.

"Leader, we don't want to live in a sea sand house. Our house is on the mudflats and gets damp when the tide comes in. If we put some food in the house, it will sprout.

Now the pillars at the door can be crushed by hand. I really don’t dare to live here anymore.

Whatever money the government can give, just consider it as a token of pity for us old guys.

The houses on the hillside are so old, but they can be brought up to the standard of those in the city, so we should also add a little bit.”

Qi Tongwei told Li Wei from the beginning to the end that the maximum compensation would be 100 yuan per square meter, according to the compensation for illegal construction. However, after Li Wei discussed with the relevant departments and the heads of Xiaqiao Street, he squeezed out another 150 yuan per square meter.

The total compensation is equivalent to 250 yuan per square meter. According to them, those who actively cooperate with the relocation can get 250 yuan, while those who are passively demolished can only get 100 yuan per square meter, or even nothing.

After two hours of bargaining, the three elderly people finally signed the agreement and received a subsidy of 250 yuan per square meter. This made them feel that they had gotten a better deal than others. In fact, they did not lose out, as the construction cost of sea sand houses is lower than that of normal houses.

In addition, the land on the tidal flat was acquired for free, so they claimed that the construction cost was four to five hundred yuan per square meter, but in fact they only spent about two hundred yuan per square meter. Several elderly people took the cash and went back happily to ask their children for help in moving.

This news was a stab in the back for the nail household group headed by Li Laoer. The morale among them suddenly became unstable. Some residents felt unsafe in the first place, so they kept their houses and only let the elderly live in them, resisting forced demolition when necessary.

The elderly also have their own circle of friends. Two of the eleven houses have now been taken away by the government. Excavators arrived within two days. The demolition team members of the Urban Management Bureau who were present first helped the elderly move the last bit of luggage into the car, then set up a cordon and began to demolish the house.

When it comes to specific work, Qi Tongwei won't ask too many questions at his level. At this time, his work focus is on the investment company.

The investment company was established according to his plan, and the city sent a lot of people, but Qi Tongwei didn't care. The general manager was Jin Xinkai and he was the deputy general manager. Anyone who disobeyed would be kicked out. I believe no one dared to object.

"Ye Biao, ask the young people in the office to hang up the banner and have the hostesses stand up at the door. The mayor will be here in person for today's unveiling ceremony.

Have you prepared for the reception? Have you contacted the municipal government office? How long will it take for the mayor to arrive?"

The subordinates have also gotten used to Qi Tongwei's rapid-fire manner of asking several questions in a row. It is not easy to be his subordinate. The cadres with poor reaction speed will stumble and fail to get to the point.

"The scene has been arranged. I invited the district government's team to plan the event. The etiquette ladies are part-time employees hired by Dongou University. They all look good and are from the history department. Their contact information and other information are in this book."

After hearing what happened later, Qi Tongwei felt something was wrong and picked up the notebook and hit Ye Biao on the head.

"She's pimping for me. She even has contact information. Who cares about that? Learn something good. What's so great about female college students' history? What stupid official would fall for such an obvious trap?"

Ye Biao was not angry even after being taught a lesson. He grew up abroad and had a cheerful personality. Sometimes he would take the initiative to joke with his superiors and his jokes were on point, easing the atmosphere. Other cadres in the district government office did not dare to say a word in front of Qi Tongwei. They just kept talking and doing what they were doing. It might also be because Ye Biao and Qi Tongwei had experienced the embarrassing journey in Jinyang together and had a closer relationship.

"I've contacted the municipal office. The mayor will be here in an hour. Do you want to confirm the route?"

Qi Tongwei looked at the route table made by Ye Biao and called Lu Qiang over. He was also busy and dizzy, with sweat all over his forehead.

“Lu Qiang, send two capable young cadres to contact the companies that the mayor is going to visit to find out whether the construction sites have taken dust prevention measures and whether the safety helmets are ready.

Has this factory implemented basic safety production standards? The mayor is trying to scare them and ask them to clean up the workshop. If he is not satisfied, he will suspend production and rectify the situation.

The rest of the people will set up this place first. When the people from the TV station and newspaper come, they will also have to arrange a reception and look at the photos they took.

Prepare the envelopes for the media's red envelopes. 500 for ordinary staff and 1,000 for the interview anchor. Don't be stingy. Also make arrangements for dinner in the evening."

Just as Qi Tongwei had made the arrangements, the city government office called and said that the mayor would arrive in fifteen minutes and was already in the car.

Qi Tongwei hurriedly called all the employees of the investment company and the heads of several functional departments to stand downstairs to greet them.

As for why District Chief Jin Xinkai was not here today, it was of course because he went to Beijing for a meeting. His duty was to liaise with the upper level on policies, and Qi Tongwei was in charge of the specific matters.

Since the mayor specifically requested to attend the investment company's listing ceremony, Qi Tongwei arranged for other deputies of the district party committee and government to perform their respective duties and did not ask everyone to put down their work and attend.

In the past, some local governments in Handong Province would drop all their work if a superior leader came over, and the entire team would go to receive him, lining up and smiling. In fact, this was totally unnecessary.

The purpose of the superior leaders' inspection is to supervise the work and correct the work style. It is putting the cart before the horse to regard reception as all other work.

However, despite such a bold arrangement, Qi Tongwei still reported the situation to the mayor in person and received strong praise from Mayor Chen Guangwei. Otherwise, other deputies might have had reservations, wondering why the mayor didn't let us in when he came to inspect. This is an attempt to exclude us.

However, after obtaining the mayor's approval, other deputies also honestly performed their duties and worked in their own positions. The reception here was mainly handled by Qi Tongwei.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lu Qiang came jogging over from the side.

"The convoy is here and has reached the intersection."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei immediately stood up straight and subconsciously straightened his collar.

The Coaster bus soon stopped in front of Qi Tongwei, and a group of people came to the door of the bus to greet them.

Mayor Chen Guangwei came down first and shook hands with Qi Tongwei with a smile.

"Chief Qi, it seems that you have listened to my instructions. You are really the only member of the team present here."

When the officials nearby heard this, they felt nervous. Was the mayor happy or was he giving him a warning?

Qi Tongwei had a clear idea in his mind and confirmed that this step was correct.
