Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 218 Asking the City for Money

Li Wei spent much more time thinking about this matter than Qi Tongwei, so he had thought about which departments to convene early on, and may have communicated with their heads in advance. However, he did not dare to implement it because he did not obtain Qi Tongwei's approval or a complete report.

As for reporting directly to Jin Xinkai, he was a little hesitant, because in Jin Xinkai's eyes he was a person promoted by Qi Tongwei. If he skipped his direct superior and reported to him without authorization, he was afraid that he would think too much and even leave a bad impression.

Furthermore, Qi Tongwei was only on a business trip for three days in total. The incident happened yesterday afternoon, and Qi Tongwei returned today. Naturally, he had to wait for Qi Tongwei to come back and report to him.

Now that he had Qi Tongwei's approval, Li Wei could naturally start working without any worries.

"Comrades, in accordance with the guidance of our superiors and the instructions of General Manager Qi, we are holding an action to rectify overloaded vehicles.

Comrades from the municipal department and the Transport Management Bureau reported on the situation of overweight vehicles damaging the roads.

The Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau should report the damage to residential buildings caused by over-limit vehicles. "

The heads of several departments spoke one after another. They had actually known about this situation for a long time and had even compiled data and reports early on. However, in order to speed up the construction period of the high-tech zone, their superiors had repeatedly urged the construction units to turn a blind eye to these illegal activities, and they had no way to directly carry out vigorous rectification.

However, now that the district leaders have made their intentions clear, naturally everyone will take revenge. Originally, all these dump truck companies were supplying them, and they could earn a lot by imposing fines and earning a lot by catching a truck. If they don't stop them now, it would naturally harm their interests.

The municipal departments and the Transport Management Bureau have long been complaining about this. The money they are responsible for road maintenance and infrastructure every year is based on projects and has limits.

Originally, these dump trucks were not overloaded, so they could slowly make money according to the annual project reports, and most importantly, the people would not report this to their superiors.

At present, dump trucks frequently damage roads and infrastructure. Not only has the pace of their reported projects been disrupted, but the people also go to the market every few days to report the situation, which has also disrupted their plans to make money, no, their work plans.

As for why the Land and Resources Bureau came here, it was because the fill soil transported by the dump trucks was either dug from the mountains or from the high-tech zone, and they had to be buried somewhere.

The transport management and traffic police brigade are responsible for stopping vehicles, and they are concerned with where the soil comes from and where it goes.

Originally, the Environmental Protection Bureau would have been involved in the future, but in the 1990s, the responsibilities of the Environmental Protection Bureau were not very clear, and its law enforcement authority was vague, so it seldom did this kind of thing.

The intentions of several departments are very clear. They have wanted to take charge of it for a long time, but they were under pressure from their superiors. Now that their superiors' opinions have changed, they naturally have to double their efforts.

The meeting went smoothly. Within twenty minutes after the meeting ended, the powerful bosses of the construction companies in the High-tech Zone received the news. Some of them quickly issued notices, but some companies did not take it seriously. Perhaps they felt that they had strong backgrounds and the most important issue was profit.

A dump truck has four wheels at the front and eight wheels at the back. If it only transports 20 tons of load, it can only make about 20 to 30 percent of the profit on that trip. Labor and fuel prices are not expensive these days.

But if the overload reaches 80 or 90 tons, plus the vehicle's own weight is more than 100 tons, then the profit will increase several times, and the cost will also be reduced a lot, and the labor and fuel prices are only calculated for one trip.

There are people who do business that will get them killed, but no one does business that will make them lose money. Besides, it’s just a meeting of the district government, who can be scared? In broad daylight, dump trucks are still speeding in and out of the Jiangbei New District blatantly.

But this is also normal. All functional departments and Li Wei think it is normal. People are not obedient creatures. People can learn things once, but they will never learn words no matter how hard you try. That's the truth.

The next day, Qi Tongwei started to deal with various relatively urgent matters as soon as he got to work. Of course, the most important thing on hand was the investment promotion in the high-tech zone and the work of the investment company.

"Lu Qiang, come here."

When Lu Qiang heard his boss calling him, he knew which part of the work the boss was most concerned about, and hurriedly urged Ye Biao who was still printing documents.

"Brother Biao, hurry up, the boss is urging us, he will definitely ask about the Northeast workers and the procedures for the investment company.

Progress chart!

I'll go in first, and you can finish it and bring it in right away."

Ye Biao was also in a hurry, with a piece of whole wheat bread in his mouth. This was a habit he developed while living abroad. If he was not in a hurry to go to work, he would eat the local special breakfast. If he was in a hurry to go to work, he would take two slices of dry bread and forcefully swallow them with boiling water.

"I'm coming."

Finally, before Lu Qiang pushed the door open, the report, which was still hot and smelled of ink, was stuffed into his hands.

Qi Tongwei took the report and asked why it was still hot, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a small problem.

"The provincial and municipal approvals have been completed, and the specifications have been determined. The next issue is the money. The money will definitely take a while, and the allocation of funds requires procedures."

"Lu Qiang, do you remember the phone number of Liu Hao, the deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau?"

Of course Lu Qiang didn't remember, but there was a phone book, a small notebook. Lu Qiang quickly turned to the page of the Municipal Finance Bureau and pointed it out to his boss.

Qi Tongwei waved his hand and asked him to go out, then picked up the red phone on the table and dialed.

Speaking of Liu Hao, he is a wonderful person. In fact, it was Mayor Chen who introduced him to Qi Tongwei, asking him to communicate more with Liu Hao if he has any problems.

Qi Tongwei also learned about this cadre from the side. He is the deputy director of the Finance Bureau, at the division level, and the former director of the Audit Bureau.

This is very intriguing. The director of the Audit Bureau was actually transferred to the Finance Bureau as deputy director. This is not a routine transfer, and judging by his age, it is not the pace of promotion. It seems that he is avoiding disaster.

After all, the Audit Bureau's responsibility is to settle accounts for projects and for others, so sooner or later they will come after you, and offending others is inevitable.

Mayor Chen also mentioned that Liu Hao speaks very impolitely. Unlike other officials who make people feel warm and at ease, his words are very sharp and hurtful, even to people he doesn't know. He asked Qi Tongwei not to be too surprised.

"Hello, Director Liu, I'm Qi Tongwei from Jiangbei New District."

The other party obviously had never heard of Qi Tongwei, the prominent figure in Dongou City, and replied directly.

"I haven't heard of it. Just tell me the truth."

Qi Tongwei was suddenly embarrassed. He thought his name was comparable to Gao Yuliang, the provincial party committee member in his previous life, but he didn't expect that the other person didn't know anything about it. Forget it, forget it, he wouldn't bother with him.

"It's like this, when will the first phase of funding for our Jiangbei New District High-Tech Investment Company arrive?"

At this time, the other side paused obviously.

"Oh, today is Thursday, so let's do it next Tuesday. We won't have the money to transfer on Friday. Bring the details here on Monday. If you have the approval, it should arrive on Tuesday."
