Chapter 223: A Helpless Move
What surprised Qin Ruhai and others was that on the day of the celebration, many leaders in the county and city were absent for some reason, and the scene was suddenly cold, but fortunately, Zhang Danian and Qi Zhengkui arrived in a hurry, so they didn't make too much of a joke and barely finished the agenda. But everyone knows that the sudden absence of more than a dozen big leaders is probably not so accidental, and they all guess what went wrong, but they just can't guess it.
As soon as the ceremony ended, many people from the city and county environmental protection inspection teams came to the scene, and they walked into the ravine without asking, which made Qin Ruhai confused at all, and quickly called a group of people to follow.
But the men refused to pay attention to him, and walked on their own, their faces becoming more gloomy and cold.
There was no way, Qin Ruhai hurriedly dialed the mobile phone number of the director of the county environmental protection bureau, but every time he called, he was rejected once, and in the end he even turned off the phone.
Qin Ruhai dialed the mobile phones of several department leaders in a row, but they were all secretive, and no one dared to tell him the truth.
In the end, a deputy director of the county environmental protection bureau informed the truth.
It turned out that last night the province dispatched an environmental protection inspection team to hold a special meeting on environmental protection overnight, Dong Xiangjie and Lin Yaohui and many leaders of departments involved were called to the city for a meeting, saying that someone reported that the Longwolf Scenic Area illegally occupied the area of returning farmland to forest, and a large number of construction waste was buried in the ground, which seriously damaged the local ecological environment.
Hearing this, Qin Ruhai was immediately paralyzed by fright, almost fainting.
The landfill of a large number of construction waste does exist, which many people do not know, because the cost of transportation is too high, so they have made a temporary disposal, and they are all buried secretly at night, holding a certain fluke mentality.
The land for construction has been approved by the planning and land department, and there should be no problem.
It's just that the EIA has taken advantage of loopholes, which is also the reason why Qin Ruhai overreacted too much in fright.
The good celebration was disrupted and failed by the environmental inspection team, and all the efforts made before were in vain, and Qin Ruhai and others had a bad premonition, that is, the next project would be stopped by the county, but this is still light, if it is more serious, it may deal with people, and if it is not good, there is a danger of being imprisoned again.
Their speculations came true three days later.
The province gave clear instructions that this matter must be strictly investigated and thoroughly investigated, and that no matter who should be removed from office and who should be handed over, it must be dealt with strictly, severely, and quickly.
Last time, the environmental inspection team seemed to know the inside story, didn't ask, and found the construction waste landfill very accurately, which made Qin Ruhai and others quickly suspect Li Tianfu and Jia Chunhua, but they thought that they had never been to the village, let alone the scene, so they should not know so detailed and specific, and on the cusp, they had to scatter in several places to inquire about the latest news.
Now that Dong Xiangjie and Lin Yaohui and other relevant leaders have been controlled by the investigation and accountability team, few people know the inside story, and they are on the cusp of the storm, so no one dares to reveal the slightest bit of information to Qin Ruhai and them.
Qin Ruhai and his group lost their direction like flies that turned around, helplessly waiting for one bad news after another.
Dong Xiangjie and Lin Yaohui were both suspended for further investigation, and leaders of other relevant departments and units were also dismissed for lax audit control. Zhang Danian and Qi Zhengkui also disappeared at the same time, and even their families did not know the news.
It's getting worse.
Li Zhi was also called by the investigation team to talk, and he has not shown up for several days.
When the court summons reached Qin Ruhai, everyone felt that the sky was about to fall.
Seeing that Dong Xiangjie and Lin Yaohui were both suspended for investigation, and the only legal person in the scenic spot was also summoned by the court, the lending bank immediately filed an additional lawsuit to demand that the county government fulfill its guarantee responsibilities, and also requested that the scenic spot be taken over immediately, so as to avoid the difficulty of recovering more than 60 million yuan in principal and interest.
Xu Qing and others went to the provincial capital to find several well-known lawyers at a high price to jointly defend Qin Ruhai and the scenic spot.
The facts are clear. The landfill of construction waste does exist, and the evidence is conclusive, but fortunately it has not had a substantial impact, which has become one of the directions that the lawyer team is competing to defend. From the point of view of planning, land use, environmental assessment, project establishment, bidding, construction, acceptance and other links, each step has the official approval documents of the relevant units of the city and county, which is not at fault for Qin Ruhai and Longwolf Scenic Area, which is also another important direction of the lawyer's team's defense. In addition, the scenic spot has just opened, has not yet entered the formal operation stage, how to benefit, loan repayment ability, credit risk, and so on are to be further observed and judged, should not be easily taken to bankruptcy liquidation, on the one hand, waste of manpower, material and financial resources, on the other hand, can not find a third party to eliminate the environmental impact, this has also become an important clue for the lawyer team to attack the bank in advance default collection.
After several court debates, the verdict was finally reached, although it was not a conclusion that Qin Ruhai and others were willing to see and accept, but in the perspective of the lawyer team, this may be the best and most satisfactory result.
A fine of 5 million was imposed on the Dragon Wolf Scenic Area, which was handed over to the environmental protection compensation risk fund account of the County Finance Bureau within one month, and Qin Ruhai was instructed to cooperate with relevant construction companies to clean up construction waste and eliminate the impact on the environment within one month from the date of the judgment, and it could only be terminated after the joint acceptance of the city and county environmental protection departments. The three construction companies were also sentenced to high fines, designated as the contractor of the clean-up of construction waste, and cooperated with the Longwolf Scenic Area to jointly do a good job in environmental restoration projects.
But Dong Xiangjie and Lin Yaohui and others are not as lucky as Qin Ruhai, those who were dismissed from their posts, and those who were demoted and transferred, all of them were subjected to disciplinary actions of varying severity, and they were not in the current position.
Zhang Danian and Qi Zhengkui were not only removed from their current positions, but also sentenced to three and five years in prison, the most unfortunate of all. Li Zhi was given a serious warning and ordered to resign from his post as a village cadre, and was temporarily replaced by a town cadre to carry out the work in the village.
When the verdict came out, Qin Ruhai immediately understood why he was able to escape punishment with his whole body, on the one hand, the professional quality of the lawyer team was excellent, and he quickly found a key breakthrough, which stumped a large number of people. On the other hand, Dong Xiangjie and others took the initiative to bear the fault, and the construction company did not let go, so he was not implicated more.
Qin Ruhai and others' money was invested in the scenic spot, and a group of people scraped together to raise more than 100,000 yuan, which is a drop in the bucket for a high fine of five million yuan.
Qin Ruhai and the others disagreed, but they didn't scold him anymore, and let him go.
When there was only one day before the deadline, Li Tianfu came to the door again and said that he could give up any management position in the scenic spot, as long as he was willing to accept his investment request, he would be at his own risk, as long as the scenic spot was not closed for a day, he would not withdraw his capital for a day, which was regarded as atonement for his previous behavior.
In fact, Qin Ruhai and the others have reached the point of desperation. From the day after the judgment came into effect, they began to rectify the situation while looking for investment partners, but because of this turmoil, everyone who asked was looked down upon, and not only did they not negotiate a cooperative business for most of the month, but also received many requests from previous partners to withdraw their investment. According to the judgment, if the fine is not paid within the time limit, the scenic spot will be evaluated and auctioned in accordance with the bank's proposed plan, and the insufficient part of the loan principal and interest will be repaid in advance, and a bad credit record will be generated.
In view of such a difficult situation, Qin Ruhai and others made up their minds and gave Li Tianfu an official reply that night, agreeing that he would invest in the Dragon Wolf Scenic Area.
Li Tianfu seems to have already agreed that they would agree, and he had already consolidated a number of deposits into one place in advance, and transferred them the next day according to the special financial account provided by Liu Ping, and the amount was the amount they had agreed in advance, five million.
After paying the fine, Qin Ruhai and the others were relieved, but what they were worried about soon came.
Although the scenic spot has been open for more than two months, but so far has not received a tourist, the ticket is not too high, the service facilities are readily available, the staff are also back to work, all of them are in high spirits and smiling faces, but they still can't get rid of the negative impact suffered before, no one cares, and the door is full of birds.
Jin Dawei and Li Changjian are also very anxious, in order to support Qin Ruhai's ideas, they have occupied almost all the working capital, and now they are trapped, and their building materials factories and brick factories are facing difficulties in capital turnover, but it is not good to tell Qin Ruhai, so they have to raise funds everywhere, but because of the turmoil, they hit a wall everywhere, and no one dares to borrow.
Qin Ruhai is more anxious than anyone else, the bank has already come to investigate and urge several times, and also threatened to reconsider the profitability and repayment ability of the scenic spot, if there is no change in the short term, it will file a lawsuit to recover the loan in advance.
As a last resort, Qin Ruhai tried to contact Su Xiaoman and Geng Qiuyan, but fortunately, both of them were in Donghua Tianchuang Tourism Investment Company, although the location was not so prominent, but at least two old friends were contacted, which was a big surprise and surprise for Qin Ruhai.
Although the accidental fire and the sudden death of Yang Guanglin completely announced the death and miscarriage of the development project of Dachiwan Scenic Area, Su Xiaoman and Geng Qiuyan were also punished by the two companies, but Tianchuang's high-level investigation found that Su Xiaoman had no subjective fault, everything was an objective accident, so he was punished lightly and demoted Su Xiaoman from the assistant to the president to the department manager。
They received Qin Ruhai's warm invitation, reported to the company's vice president in charge, and hurriedly arranged the itinerary to rush over to meet.
