Two days passed, and Chu Tianqi had an in-depth understanding of the cost of highway materials. The overall situation is consistent with what Cheng Hailong said, and most of Cheng Hailong's information originally came from the following counties and cities. It was only through these phone calls that I learned a little more about the specific situation of the relevant places.

Several people who received the call from Mayor Chu expressed deep concern about this phenomenon and a certain amount of helplessness, but their attitudes towards the collection of protection fees were the same: it must be resolutely cracked down.

While expressing frustration and support for the crackdown, a number of solutions were proposed, while also listing negative factors. Some of the contents were the first time Chu Tianqi had heard of them, and they had not been considered before, which also showed the necessity of careful understanding.

For these two things, Chu Tianqi now has a more mature idea, especially the plan to implement a crackdown on protection fees. We must ban this kind of behavior, which is not commercial in nature and is purely cunning and plundering.

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door, and Li Ziteng entered the house.

Coming to the table, Li Ziteng said, "Director Sun is here." ”

Chu Tianqi said, "Let him in." ”

"Okay. Li Ziteng replied and walked out of the house.

Soon, Sun Tingwu came, went straight to the table, and saluted: "Hello mayor!"

Chu Tianqi smiled and stretched out his hand to signal: "Sit." ”

Sun Tingwu turned around and went to the sofa, sat on it with his upper body straight, his legs together, his hands down, and he had a very military demeanor.

"Director Sun, there is such a thing as asking you to come over. Chu Tianqi got straight to the point, "Have you heard about Shizi's collection of protection fees?"

Sun Tingwu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I don't know, please make it clear to the mayor." ”

"In the investigation, the transportation system found that the price of stones used in highway construction in various places was too high, and the stones that should have been about 30 yuan a party were sold for 44, 5, or even higher. And this inflated price is not the extra profit of the stone quarry, but is taken away by some so-called intermediaries, otherwise the price would not be so outrageously high. The price is 50% higher all of a sudden, which directly affects the total cost of the entire material cost, and also affects the proportion of the enterprise to the cost, which in turn has an adverse impact on the quality of the project.

The transportation highway project, which is the public infrastructure of the whole society, is an important way for residents to travel and transport materials, and is also an important means of national defense and war preparedness. And this so-called intermediary is actually a group composed of some idle people in society, who actually stretch out their hands to ask for money without reason, which is the standard trick and robbery. They not only infringe on the interests of stone merchants and construction enterprises, but also infringe on the interests of every citizen, and even infringe on the interests of the state. The government and public security organs have the responsibility and obligation to crack down on such acts, and they must also crack down on them. What are the plans and specific thoughts of Sun Ju?" Speaking of this, Chu Tianqi stopped.

"That's right. After pondering for a while, Sun Tingwu replied, "Mayor, it's impossible to say that I haven't heard of this kind of thing, but I don't know much about it, and I didn't expect it to be so serious. And for a long time, no reports have been received in this regard, and the following bureaus have not reported, so the city bureau has not taken action. ”

Chu Tianqi nodded and expressed his understanding: "Judging from the reports I have received now, the stone merchants have acquiesced in this phenomenon, and the psychology of 'spending money to buy peace' has also fueled the arrogance of these personnel. Of course, the extra costs are completely grafted onto the construction company, and there is no substantial monetary loss. Subject to such prices around them, construction companies also acquiesced in this inequality and swallowed this bitter fruit.

Of course, in this process, the slackness of the traffic supervision department also dragged this matter down. The inaction of the relevant county and city governments and public security departments has also led to the existence of this kind of thing, and slowly formed a seemingly reasonable status quo. In short, there are deficiencies in all aspects, which makes this unreasonable thing an ordinary phenomenon. Now that none of this is pursued, it is important not to allow irrational phenomena to continue.

Now the transportation department has realized that the cost of materials will not only affect the profits of construction companies, but also affect the quality of the entire highway and the safety of infrastructure. Cracking down on this kind of behavior is not only in the interests of the transportation system, but also in the interests of society as a whole, but this requires the public security organs to take action. ”

"Mayor, cracking down on illegal crimes and maintaining social tranquility and stability is the sacred duty and mission of the public security organs. If such a phenomenon occurs in Dingye City, the public security organs must resolutely crack down on it, and we cannot shirk our responsibility. Sun Tingwu was resolute.

Chu Tianqi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." ”

Sun Tingwu's tone immediately changed: "It's just that this matter involves the following counties and cities, and it needs to be implemented by the public security organs in these jurisdictions, and the transportation system also needs to provide specific materials and data, and the municipal bureau also needs to have more information." Please give the mayor some preparation time so that he can really crack down on this kind of behavior effectively and efficiently, completely eliminate its impact on traffic engineering, and remove the cancer for the society. ”

"Yes. Chu Tianqi agreed, "It is necessary to be reasonable, well-founded and responsible, and the blow must be steady, accurate, and ruthless." ”

Sun Tingwu said again: "Mayor, I plan to do this. These stone factories are located in the following towns and villages, and the police station has management responsibilities for them, and the county-level bureau also has management obligations. The county-level bureau has an unshirkable responsibility for this kind of behavior in the jurisdiction, and it is convenient for them to carry out this kind of behavior. The municipal bureau is mainly responsible for the overall supervision of this matter, supervising and promoting the entire action.

What I want is that the city bureau should organize a meeting of its subordinate bureaus as soon as possible to convey the city's intentions, mobilize and deploy them, and make strict requirements. All localities may adopt targeted measures according to specific conditions, and can combine forcible attacks with outwitting, and strive to adapt measures to local conditions, time conditions, and events, so as to avoid leaving loopholes and deficiencies across the board. ”

Chu Tianqi thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Yes." However, when the city bureau conveys the city's intentions, it must be resolute and clear. The most fundamental point is that this phenomenon must no longer exist, nor can it mutate, and any impact on the price of stone must be completely eliminated. When making requirements for the next bureau, there must also be a total time requirement, which cannot be delayed for a long time. In addition, there must be no act of escrow by fines, and the disguised collection of protection money by the police must be put an end to. ”

"Understood, Mayor, rest assured. Sun Tingwu replied very simply.

……

At more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the multi-functional conference room of the Dingye Public Security Bureau, the video and video conference was being held.

Members of the leading group of the municipal bureau, heads of municipal departments, and all personnel of municipal organs were at the main venue.

On the large screen of the conference room, the picture of the venue of the subordinate cities and counties is clear at a glance, and the main screen is the screen of the main venue.

Sun Tingwu, director of the Dingye City Public Security Bureau, is speaking: "Within the scope of Dingye City, under the noses of our county bureaus, there is even a phenomenon of collecting protection fees, and it has existed for a certain period of time. This is a shame for you, and a shame for the entire Dingye public security system. Are you ashamed? I'm ashamed anyway.

All the stone yards are under the custody of the police station under their jurisdiction, have you not found out? Why have you not found out, have you really not found out? Are you negligent and slack, or do you turn a blind eye? Do you fail to fulfill your duties, or do you deliberately turn a blind eye? If you do not find out, then your work ability is not up to standard, and if you deliberately ignore it, then there is a problem with moral integrity. What's the problem? That's lice on the monk's head - obviously.

If such problems are not reported in a timely manner, what do the directors and deputy directors of these police stations do? What do the leaders of the county bureau do? What do the supervision departments do? Don't say you don't know, I don't believe it, and don't take me for a fool. I know all of them, don't you know? Are you all stupid?"

Sun Tingwu's voice was thick and loud, resounding throughout the conference room through the pickup system, and spread throughout the branch venues.

The people at the scene not only felt the harshness of the director's words, but also felt the solemn and dignified atmosphere, and they all sat upright, not daring to do anything unstandardized.

Although the people in the branch venue did not attend the scene in person, the image of the director enlarged on the screen was more severe, the director's fingers were like batons, and the director's shaking fists were like hammers. The "batons" and "hammers" are close in front of you, as if they are at the door of your head at any time, and it is more like pointing at yourself all the time, and the sense of fear is especially great.

Moreover, the branch venue is not only the leaders of the bureau, not only the personnel of the bureau, but also the directors and deputy directors and instructors of all the police stations, and the heads of all the team rooms. The "you" or "you" in the mouth of the director of the bureau include many people and departments at the scene, how dare these people not listen carefully? If they are named by Director Sun, if they are criticized in public by the director of the city bureau, then there will be no way to mix up in the public security system of Dingye City, at least under the rule of Director Sun, they will not want to make a name for themselves. How dare people not pay attention to it?

Coldly glanced at the various pictures, and then glanced at the people at the scene, feeling the fear of the people, Sun Tingwu's tone softened a little: "Such a common thing, such a concentrated thing, we didn't even find it, and we actually asked the city leaders to ask in person, I really blushed." You should have a hot face, right?

Shame and courage, know the lack and forge ahead. The facts are here, and things have existed for more than a day, and it is useless to complain about the sky, and it is not okay to regret the prevarication. What we have to do now, and what we can do, is to face reality, have the courage to correct mistakes, wash away the shame with practical actions, and prove ourselves with the right practices. This action and practice is not difficult, and that is to persist in cracking down on the collection of protection money. The city bureau demanded that the city, county, and district bureaus under its jurisdiction should immediately take action, find out the situation in their jurisdictions, formulate strict plans, and carry out specific crackdown actions. One 、......"

The main and branch venues immediately sounded the sound of "bang, bang, bang", and people flipped through their notebooks, held pens, and recorded the instructions of the leaders of the municipal bureau.
