Chapter 399: A blow to some people's heads

On the night of Fang Mingyuan's arrival in Kang'an City, it rained heavily in Kang'an City, which effectively alleviated the high temperature and drought in Kang'an City since the beginning of summer, and the temperature dropped by six degrees.

However, the heads of various departments of the Kang'an Municipal Government did not feel happy because of the arrival of this heavy rain. It seems that it is almost August, but the financial funds for July have not yet been fully allocated to various departments. Even if public funds can be temporarily posted first, but the salaries of employees in this department can not also be posted first, right? In that case, the people below won't turn the sky upside down?

So early in the morning, someone came to Shi Wensheng's office and waited. And as time went on, more and more people gathered!

"Isn't this Director Hou? You're here early! ”

"Director Lu, it's not too late for you to come!"

"Hey, isn't this Director Gou!" ……

They are all people in the system, they can look up and not look down, and for a while, Shi Wensheng's office was full of people. Anyway, everyone knows that Deputy Mayor Shi has always been on time if he has nothing important. Now the secretary has not yet appeared, and the deputy mayor has naturally not come yet.

"Director Lu, what is this going to report to Mayor Shi?" Hou Dejian, director of the Education Bureau, patted Lu Fang, director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, on the shoulder with a smile and said.

"What else can it be, of course, to urgently apply for a fund from Mayor Shi." Lu Fang said with a bitter face.

"Urgently apply for a fund? What's going on with the Cultural Relics Bureau? Hou Dejian asked in surprise, "Didn't our bureau take a large sum of money from Mayor Shi in one go last month, which is enough for us to open a few months' salary!" ”

"The salary is no problem, but the work is carried out, and the salary of the employees alone is not enough!" Lu Fang sighed and said, "Our Kang'an City, although it is poor, but there are a lot of cultural relics and monuments on the ground, these are all treasures left by the ancestors, this looks like it is about to enter the rainy season, these cultural relics and monuments have to be maintained, right?" It takes money. The tombs in the underground need to be protected, right? Someone robbed the tomb with a heart, which also requires money. This rain, it is difficult to ensure that the ancient tomb will be exposed somewhere, or which ancient tomb needs to be excavated rescuely, which also needs money! If you don't apply for a sum of money from Mayor Shi first, in case of Lou Zi, I Lu Fang can't carry it even on my eight shoulders! ”

Lu Fang's words are very true, don't look at the underdevelopment of Kang'an City today, but in history, the Kang'an City area is also a battleground for soldiers. Whether it is the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasty, the Tang and Song dynasties, the historical relics can be all over the territory, there are more than 600 ancient ruins, ancient cave temples, cliff carvings and modern cultural relics. There are more than 40 ancient tombs found. As for how many historical treasures remain underground, no one knows.

Therefore, during the rainy season, the people at the Cultural Relics Bureau are always busy. According to the past practice, in three out of five years, there will be new tombs in Kang'an City due to rain, or new tombs will appear, or existing tombs will need to be excavated urgently.

Since Kang'an City's financial revenue has always been stretched, the Cultural Relics Bureau, the Qingshui Yamen, originally did not receive much financial allocation. And after Shi Wensheng took office, the city's finances were even more rotten! Lu Fang took this application report, and he really didn't have any bottom in his heart.

"Director Hou, this school is on vacation, and everyone is a lot more relaxed now. Hey, it's better to have this education department, there are three months of vacation in a year. Lu Fang said with envy. Compared with the Education Bureau, although it is not a powerful department, but compared with the Cultural Relics Bureau, it is heaven and earth!

"Hey, what's good? If the vacation is over, the salaries of these faculty and staff will not be paid! Not a penny is missing! Hou Dejian sighed and said, "But don't give it in full now in my hand, even half of it is not enough!" No, I can only come to the mayor of time! ”

"Hey, Director Gou, shouldn't you also apply for funds?" Hou Dejian turned his head and said, "The Food and Drug Administration shouldn't be able to, right?" ”

Gou Ping smiled bitterly and spread out his hands and said, "Director Hou, what do you mean that our Food and Drug Administration should not be?" Our Food and Drug Administration, not the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, let alone the police department, is that there are some fine income, which is also a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough at all! Mayor Shi, a while ago, we have repeatedly asked us to strengthen the supervision and management of food and drugs circulating in the market, and prevent black-hearted food and fake drugs from entering the market and entering the homes of citizens. ”

Hou Dejian and Lu Fang secretly changed their eyes, although they nodded again and again, they secretly crooked their mouths in their hearts! Gou Ping's words are a bit unfortunate, the city's finances are tight, and Shi Wensheng repeatedly ordered to prohibit eating and drinking public funds, and prohibiting the squandering of public funds! Most of these other departments have to be more or less restrained, but the Food and Drug Administration is a little bit of a disobedience, and it is a little hidden to eat and drink. But this kind of thing has always been hidden from the top, Shi Wensheng doesn't necessarily know, but Hou Dejian and they do.

It's just that this Gou Ping is the person of Chen Dong, the head of the municipal organization, Chen Dong has a big backer in the provincial party committee and provincial government, and he was only transferred from a neighboring city at the beginning of the year, and he has nothing to do with the Tangyin County case, so naturally he is not worried about being cleaned, so he naturally has no due respect for Shi Wensheng. And he has been making trouble for Shi Wensheng intentionally or unintentionally. And Shi Wensheng didn't have a good way to take him for a while.

While they were talking, several leaders of various departments in the city came to the door with application reports.

Hou Dejian and Lu Fang secretly smacked their tongues in their hearts, so many reports on applying for funds, one by one, the total amount must be quite amazing. Shi Wensheng's endless city finances are probably not much left. The four major banks are now reluctant to take additional loans, so what can Shi Wensheng do in the next nearly half a year? Without the financial power of the deputy mayor, this power has undoubtedly shrunk greatly. This will definitely be a blow to the prestige of Shi Wensheng, who will take over as mayor in the future!

Although Hou Dejian and Lu Fang have the intention to sell well to Shi Wensheng, they really have no money in their hands now, even if they want to not apply for the time being, it is impossible!

"Huh? It's all time, why hasn't the mayor arrived yet? Secretary Ye didn't come either? Gou Ping looked at his watch and said in surprise, "Mayor Shi has always been punctual." ”

Everyone looked at their watches, and sure enough, as Gou Pingsuo, it was time.

For a while, everyone was talking, this is a rare thing, as far as they know, Wen Sheng didn't seem to have arranged anything this morning?

"Mayor Shi, don't you know that everyone is looking forward to him here, so you just dodge? Hey, it's not easy for the mayor to be there, and it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! Gou Ping lowered his voice and smiled. It's just that although his voice was lowered, there were still a few people present who could hear it clearly.

Hou Dejian and Lu Fang glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw a little surprise, this Gou Ping, is too bold! In front of Shi Wensheng's office, he said something like this!

At this time, the two of them noticed that many of the people who came here to apply for funds this morning are still close to Shi Wensheng. I can't help but feel a pang in my heart, this Gou Ping is a word!

At this time, the deputy secretary general of the municipal government hurried over and said: "Everyone, everyone, you don't have to wait here, the mayor will not be here this morning!" ”

"Why didn't you come? Didn't Mayor Shi have no arrangements this morning? Gou Ping asked loudly.

"Yes, yes, didn't Mayor Shi have no arrangements this morning? We can't open the pot in the bureau, so we are waiting for the mayor to allocate funds. Someone chimed in.

"Gu Yucheng, president of the Northwest Branch of China Construction Bank, came, Mayor Shi went to receive the VIPs, and even Mayor Luo went! There will definitely be no time left this morning! If you want to meet Mayor Shi, let's make another appointment! The deputy secretary general of the municipal government spread his hands and said, "Mayor Shi specially called me to inform them. If you can't even wait for half a day, then you can only go to the scene to find Mayor Shi! ”

These positions on the scene were immediately speechless, Nima, even if he had already stood in Shi Wensheng's team, this one's words were too straightforward, Luo Ankang and Shi Wensheng received Gu Yucheng, and ran there to apply for funds from Shi Wensheng, isn't this a slap in the face? Not only hit Shi Wensheng's face, but also Luo Ankang's face, but also the face of the entire Kang'an City!

Gu Yucheng is that, the general person in charge of the entire Northwest China Construction Bank, just to meet the leaders of the Qinxi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, it is just to say hello in advance, as long as the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government are not so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, otherwise no one will be so faceless! If anyone goes here, how to clean up Luo Ankang and Shi Wensheng if they don't come back, the provincial party committee and the provincial government will have to clean up well. The rules in officialdom are not something that anyone is qualified to challenge!

"Let's go, Lao Lu!" Hou Dejian said with a smile, "Since Mayor Shi is so busy, let's not make trouble here!" No matter how tight the money is, it's not bad these days, is it? Governor Gu is here, that's great! ”

Lu Fang stood up knowingly, followed Hou Dejian and walked out: "Yes, the mayor's old friend is here, let's report to the mayor in a few days." ”

The two of them walked away, and then the people at the door of the office walked out one after another.

Gou Ping's face changed slightly, but he could only secretly stomp his feet and walk out of the crowd.

Gu Yucheng's arrival set off a storm in the officialdom of Kang'an City and various banks! After all, as the top person in charge of the northwest region of China Construction Bank, one of the most powerful contenders for the post of president of China Construction Bank in the future, and a rising financial star in the domestic financial industry in recent years, Gu Yucheng's every move, word and deed has attracted the attention of many people in the financial system.

The officialdom of Kang'an City went up and down, like a pond smashed into by a boulder, stirring up a thousand waves! It is no secret in Kang'an officialdom that Kang'an City's finances are tight, and it is also known that the four major banks are reluctant to continue to lend to the Kang'an municipal government because of the excessive amount of loans owed by Kang'an City to the four major banks. Moreover, there is that well-informed person, and there is even news that Gu Yucheng's career can have a close relationship with the Fang family, and he can sit in the position of the head of the northwest region of the Construction Bank, and can become a strong contender for the future president of the Construction Bank, which is inextricably linked with the Fang family. Until now, the vast majority of the capital turnover of the industries under the name of the Fang family is still through the China Construction Bank, and for this alone, the annual profit obtained by the Construction Bank is an extremely considerable amount.

And at this time, Gu Yucheng suddenly appeared in Kang'an City silently, and the meaning of this is naturally self-evident!

As some people expected, on the day Gu Yucheng "arrived" in Kang'an City, news came from the municipal government that the Kang'an Branch of China Construction Bank had agreed to make additional loans to the Kang'an Municipal Government, and the maximum loan amount was 500 million yuan! The maximum period is not more than five years, but the interest is calculated according to the interest rate of policy loans, which is half lower than that of commercial loans!

This news shocked the officialdom in Kang'an City, and their hearts almost stopped! 500 million yuan, which is equivalent to the GDP of Kang'an City for more than half a year! Don't make such a big sum of money, it is millions of yuan, in the past, the Kang'an Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government wanted to borrow from the bank, and it would take a lot of effort! Sometimes, I even have to ask the leaders of the province to say hello. What's more, the loan period is still so long, and the interest rate is so favorable!

At the same time, another news came, which shook the financial system of Kang'an City three times! Shi Wensheng actually borrowed 100 million yuan from China Construction Bank on the spot, of which more than 64 million yuan was transferred to the other three major banks, writing off the arrears of Kang'an City in the three major banks over the years! From then on, the creditor of the Kang'an Municipal Government was only the Kang'an Branch of China Construction Bank!

This news immediately made the heads of the other three major banks in Kang'an City anxious!

You know, now that the economy is in a recession, if the money in the hands of the bank can't be loaned out, and the money in the hands is in the hands, then it will also have to pay interest! The state-owned enterprises are generally losing money, and the banks of private enterprises are unwilling to lend, and the government, although it is always in arrears, but after all, the money is assured, and it is impossible for the government to go bankrupt and not repay the debts.

If the Kang'an Municipal Government no longer lends money to the three major banks, it will be a big deal!

For a time, the financial system of Kang'an City, even the financial system of Qinxi Province, and even the headquarters of the four major banks were in chaos because of this news.

Gu Yucheng rushed back to Fengyuan in the evening of the same day. After Shi Wensheng sent him away, he secretly came to the hotel where Fang Mingyuan was staying.

"Mingyuan, Governor Gu will be fine, right?" Shi Wensheng said with some concern. Although the loan of 500 million yuan, as well as the act of paying off the loan to the three major banks on the spot, had been discussed as early as the night when Fang Mingyuan and them arrived in Kang'an City, but now, Shi Wensheng still has some ups and downs in his heart. After all, by doing so, it is undoubtedly offending the other three major lines!

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry!" Gu Yucheng was reprimanded a few words at most on the surface, but in essence, he would not have anything, and the leaders of the head office of the Construction Bank would definitely appreciate him more! ”

Shi Wensheng didn't know that the reason why Gu Yucheng dared to do this was because of Fang Mingyuan's intervention. Fang Mingyuan deposited $100 million in deposits at the Hong Kong branch of China Construction Bank for a period of three years, and promised that if the Kang'an municipal government failed to repay the loan, the bank would withhold the corresponding amount from the money. In this way, even if CCB immediately lent all 500 million yuan to Kang'an City, it would not have to worry about losing money in the end.

In this way, it not only sold the Fang family's favor, but also expanded the influence of CCB in the financial market of Kang'an City! Moreover, CCB's accounts have an additional $100 million in foreign exchange deposits, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone, benefiting others and benefiting others.

Of course, this agreement will not be made public by CCB, in fact, this is also because the Fang family is not good at directly transferring funds to Shi Wensheng, and is worried that it will attract the attention of some people in the province and the bad results, so they can only save the country in this way, and let the money pass through the hands of CCB and transfer to Shi Wensheng's hands to solve his urgent needs!

As for repaying all the remaining loans of more than 60 million yuan to the three major banks on the spot, it is just a blow to the three major banks, and it does not mean that the Kang'an Municipal Government will not borrow from them in the future. After all, the four major banks are all state-owned banks, and a bowl of water should be roughly flat, which is too much, and those should attract the attention of the province. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses.

But if you don't scare them, Shi Wen's work after his birthday may still be constrained by their funds.

"That's great!" Shi Wensheng breathed a sigh of relief, although Fang Mingyuan didn't have a reason, but Shi Wensheng was full of confidence in his nephew, since he was fine, then Shi Wensheng was not worried at all. With such a huge sum of money, Shi Wensheng felt as if a layer of shackles had been removed from his body, and he suddenly relaxed.

"Mingyuan, what are the next arrangements?" Shi Wensheng said. With this loan of 500 million yuan, I believe that the doubts in the city and province will disappear for a while, and he can also plan the future development direction of Kang'an City. Although there is Fang Mingyuan's guaranteed investment, Shi Wensheng doesn't want to wait, he, who is a brother-in-law, also has to give full play to his subjective initiative!

"Into the mountains!"
