Of course, Song Lei did this with good intentions, since Duan Yu was his confidant and favorite general brought from Nanyun Province, of course he wanted to help Duan Yu stand on the platform and personally send Duan Yu to take office, the following cadres should know what to do, be careful, and if you want to add some blockage to Duan Yu, a foreigner, you have to weigh it, offending Duan Yu, the newcomer secretary of the municipal party committee, is not terrible, but offending Song Lei, the new governor, is not fun.

Duan Yu thought for a while, scratched his head and said: "Governor Song, I have an idea, I want to understand the situation in Huesr City as early as possible, so I want to go to Esir City tomorrow as an ordinary person to take a walk, you also know, when I really take office, I may not be able to understand many real situations, and when the matter is dealt with on your side, I will meet with you and officially take office."

Song Lei was stunned for a moment, then tapped his finger at Duan Yu and laughed: "Little slippery head, you want to make a private visit to Weifu, it's okay, the current cadres have a lot of routines to deal with their superiors, and it's really not easy to understand the real situation."

Speaking of this, Song Lei put away his smile and said: "But I must seriously remind you that you must pay attention to your own safety, the folk customs here are very strong, and it also involves the problems of ethnic minorities, so no matter how bad the phenomenon and how serious the problem you see, don't be impulsive, just keep it in mind, and it's not too late to slowly rectify it after you officially take office!"

Duan Yu was overjoyed, he thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince Song Lei, after all, if he had an accident, Song Lei would have to bear a lot of responsibility, which also showed that Song Lei was indeed a very enlightened leader, and hurriedly said: "Governor Song, don't worry, I will definitely keep in mind your advice, and I will never cause trouble for you!"

The next day, Duan Yu took Liu Hansheng to Huosir City by bus, and the distance from Hushao City, the provincial capital, to Huosr City is not far, it is more than 200 kilometers, and the whole journey is high-speed, and it takes more than two hours to arrive.

Sitting on the speeding bus, Duan Yu's heart has already flown to Huosir City, before coming he specially searched for information about Huosir City on the Internet, Huosir City can now be said to be very famous in the country, it was once known as "the richest city in the mainland of China", GDP was once among the best in the country, and once shouted the grand slogan of catching up with Hong Kong within five years.

If only from the speed of development, Huosir City can indeed be said to have created a miracle in China, in just a few years from a poor area in Mombasai Province to the richest city in the interior of China, the reason why Huosir City can develop so rapidly is of course there is a reason, with the rapid development of China's economy, the demand for energy has increased sharply. In the 87,000 square kilometers of land in the city, 48% of which is desert, and 70% of the strata are buried with coal mines. The proven reserves are more than 167.6 billion tons, and the estimated reserves are nearly 1,000 billion tons, accounting for about 1/6 of the country's total reserves. There are also 750.4 billion cubic meters of natural gas, accounting for about 31.8% of the country's total proven reserves.

As a result, Huosir quickly became the first city in China to produce more than 200 million tons of coal, and coal created one myth after another for the city to get rich. This myth of getting rich has attracted gold diggers from all over the country, pouring huge amounts of money into the two most important industries: coal mining and real estate development, while also giving rise to a frenzy of private lending.

However, with the transformation of China's economic structure, the slowdown in economic growth, and the reduction of coal prices, these myths of getting rich have burst like a beautiful soap bubble in the sun, and it has also turned the city of Hoosir from a paradise for gold diggers into a place of broken dreams.

What really made Huosir "famous" was a report from the American magazine "Time", "Huosir: A Modern Ghost City", "Huosir: China's Largest Ghost City", and Huosir City was also interpreted as a sample of "the best display of China's real estate bubble".

Whether it is "the richest city in mainland China" or "the best display of China's real estate bubble", this is just a label for Huosir City from the outside world, which makes Duan Yu more curious and looking forward to this city that he is about to enter.

Duan Yu's first impression of Huosr City is still very good, high-rise buildings, neat streets, elevated interchanges are staggered, very modern urban atmosphere, and the luxury cars running on the road and parked on the side of the road make Duan Yu have the most intuitive impression of this once known as "the richest city in the Chinese mainland", Duan Yu paid a little attention to it, like Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Maybach, a top world famous car that is rarely seen elsewhere, has just passed by several cars, as for Cayenne with more than one million yuan, Luxury cars such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Land Rover can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Someone once said that if you want to know a city as quickly as possible, you should ask the taxi driver, because they are the most well-informed and the group that knows their city best, so Duan Yu walked a little way, roughly browsed the cityscape of Huosir City, and after having a general impression of the city, he beckoned to stop a taxi.

"Boss, where are you going?" The taxi driver who drove the car was a middle-aged man, who should be a local, with the unique bold temperament of a Mongolian man, and asked Duan Yu with a smile.

This question stopped Duan Yu, he had only learned a little about the situation in Huosir City on the Internet before, but he didn't know anything about the specific place name, scratched his head and said: "Just go around, it's my first time here, and I'm not familiar with this place."

"Oh, you're traveling from out of town, I'll tell you, you're here for the right trip, we have a lot of fun places in Huesr City!" The taxi driver became more enthusiastic and talked to Duan Yu about the interesting attractions nearby.

Duan Yu didn't explain, and listened to the introduction of the taxi driver with relish, which is a good phenomenon, at least it shows that the citizens of this city have a sense of belonging to the city and are willing to be volunteer propagandists for the city.

Of course, what Duan Yu is most concerned about now is not what interesting attractions there are in Hoosir City, as long as he wants these materials in the future, the tourism bureau can sort out a lot of them at any time, Duan Yu is most concerned about the livelihood of Huosir City, so he began to slowly divert the topic and ask about the income of taxi drivers.

"In the past, there were many foreign bosses who came to us, and people were also bold, and they didn't need to change if they threw a 100-yuan bill directly into a taxi, and sometimes they met a high-roller boss chartered a car, and they gave one or two thousand a day, and the money was easy to earn, and they could earn a million yuan casually a month, but now it's not good, many foreign bosses have run away, and they can barely earn three or four thousand to support their families," the taxi driver sighed.

"No, I don't think there are a lot of luxury cars on the road," Duan Yu asked with some confusion.

"Cut, those are all empty shelves, maybe you owe a lot of money outside! You want to buy a luxury car, I'll take you to our second-hand car market here, a hundred thousand luxury cars, seven or eight percent new, you can drive away for two or three hundred thousand, now many bosses are in a hurry to cash out!" the taxi driver pouted.

"Is it such an exaggeration?" Duan Yu was also taken aback.

"Alas, it's all the underground money bank that harms people, I'm afraid there are few people who haven't borrowed money from the underground money bank in Huesr City, and the interest rate is high, but now many underground money bank owners have run away, making us miserable, I was also blinded by the money, and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the underground bank, and now it's all in the water, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come out and open a taxi" The taxi driver shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Duan Yu was more and more surprised, although he had already learned in advance that the problem of private lending in Huosir City was very serious, but he did not expect that it would be so serious, even ordinary citizens were involved, then this problem was very tricky, because if it was not handled well, it was likely to cause large-scale mass incidents.

At this time, the taxi driver suddenly became vigilant, glanced at Duan Yu suspiciously, and said, "What the hell are you doing?

"Then what do you think I'm doing?" Duan Yu smiled.

"I think you look like a reporter! The bad thing in Huosr City is bad for you GRD reporters! Last time, I pulled a bearded foreigner, and I also like to ask questions like you, I thought he was here to travel, and I told him everything, but this GRD is good, go back and write nonsense, saying that our Huosr City is a 'ghost town', and the reputation of our Huosr City will be ruined, I won't pull you, you get out of the car!" The taxi driver became more and more angry the more he talked, stopped the car on the side of the road, and said angrily to Duan Yu unceremoniously.

Duan Yu didn't expect this taxi driver to react so much, this is really a fire prevention and anti-theft reporter, it seems that the propaganda and reporting of Huosir City still needs correct guidance, first of all, let Huosir City come out of the shadow of negative reports.

"Master, you misunderstood, I'm really not a reporter, reporters will bring cameras, voice recorders or something when they come out, you see I didn't bring anything" Duan Yu patted his trouser pockets empty-handedly, proving his innocence.

The taxi looked Duan Yu up and down, and then restarted the car in disbelief, sighed and said: "Brother, don't be surprised, those reporters are really too fucked, our Kangbala New Town is not very popular, but it is not so exaggerated, why did it become a 'ghost town'?"
