The person who wants to get the Dawan River dam project the most is undoubtedly Qian Baocai, the contractor of Zhangjia Village, Dahewan Township, he is the contractor who built the dam at Dahewan three years ago, he was a bricklayer, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, he pulled up a civil engineering team in his hometown to work in the city, although he experienced a lot of ups and downs, but also earned some small money, the important thing is to let him learn how to get what he wants.

Three years ago, after Qian Baocai heard that his hometown Dahewan Township was going to build a dam, he took out all the bank deposits and hurried back to Dahewan Township, he and the township chief Song Zhigang are not only fellow villagers, but also a little related, after smashing Song Zhigang 100,000 yuan, Song Zhigang did not consider whether his engineering team has water conservancy construction qualifications, so he contracted the project to him.

The total project cost of the three-year Dahewan Dam is 400,000 yuan, if Qian Baocai does it according to the requirements of the project, except for the money for gifts and running relations, he can't make any money at all, he can't look at his own losses, so he cut corners in the construction of the dam, the reinforced concrete dam core, there is not even a steel bar at all, they are filled with straw and straw, mixed with cheap low-grade cement and sand and gravel soil, and then a fill, the design standard of the dam is replaced by such an inferior tofu slag project.

Qian Baocai is a little clever, in his mind to come to a section of the dam does not need reinforced concrete irrigation at all, the dams on both sides of the Hui River are thousands of kilometers, aren't they all piled up with soil, even if it is some large turning bays of the river, it is just a surface with stones to prevent the river from washing, and there has been no problem for so many years, so he dares to be so unscrupulous. However, he put a lot of effort into the appearance of the dam and was able to pass it in one go.

What Qian Baocai never expected was that last year's flood washed away the Dahewan Dam, and after he learned that the dam had collapsed, he was immediately scared into a cold sweat, and immediately went to the bank to withdraw all his deposits, and fled to the south with the money to hide.

Hiding in the south for more than a month, after seeing that there was no movement, Qian Baocai had the courage to call a relative in Zhangjia Village, knocked on the side, and finally understood that his crime was not exposed, at that time, the flood control and rescue headquarters in order to rush to plug the gap, transferred a number of large machinery and trucks, and kept filling the breach day and night, after the flood receded, rebuilt the gabion, leveled the dam and withdrew from the scene.

Qian Baocai secretly said that he was lucky, and his heart was put in his stomach, and after many inquiries to confirm that this was the case, he returned to Huihe from the south, and when he came back, he also specially gave Song Zhigang some native products from the south, and the topic was not separated from the dam collapse incident.

After the Spring Festival, Qian Baocai took his good friends to Hainan to play, and did not return to Huihe until yesterday, and when he came back, he heard the news that the city was going to rebuild the Dahewan Dam, and he was shocked at that time! Rebuilding the dam means digging up and rebuilding the original dam, and if the dam is excavated, then all the truth will be revealed, and he still can't escape the punishment of the law! The only way is to contract the project himself, and this time build it according to the standard, so that all the original crimes can be erased, so he brought 100,000 yuan in cash and found Song Zhigang again.

Song Zhigang was sitting in the living room watching TV after dinner at night, and when he saw Qian Baocai coming, he let him in, and Qian Baocai saw that Song Zhigang's wife was also there, and nodded at Song Zhigang and said with a smile: "Township Chief Song, I went to Hainan after the year, and I only came back yesterday and brought you some Hainan specialties, dried abalone!" As soon as I came back, I was in a hurry to send it to you. As he spoke, he placed a box of dried abalone on the tea table.

When Song Zhigang saw that Qian Baocai, who hadn't even come to see him during the Spring Festival, came at this time, he had almost guessed his intention in his heart, and he knew very well that people like him were unprofitable and could not afford to be early. After being polite, Song Zhigang gave his wife a look, and his wife immediately understood what he meant, and after making a cup of tea for Qian Baocai, he went back to the bedroom under the pretext of being sleepy.

Qian Baocai saw Song Zhigang's wife enter the bedroom and close the door, so he smiled at Song Zhigang and said: "Township Chief Song, I heard that the Dahewan Dam will be rebuilt this year, and it is said that the total cost of the project has reached 550,000 yuan. ”

As soon as Song Zhigang heard that Qian Baocai really came for the dam project, he shook his head and said: "Old Qian, now is not as good as the beginning, the township party committee has set four strict standards for the contracting of the dam project, the first is that the contractor must have the qualification for the construction of national water conservancy projects at the second level and above, not to mention the other three, and your miscellaneous company does not have this one, so I can't help you this time!" ”

Qian Baocai saw that Song Zhigang refused with a mouthful, thinking that it was the reason why he didn't take out the money, so he hurriedly put the black bag he brought on the tea table and opened it, so that Song Zhigang saw the bundles of 100 yuan bills inside and said: "Look, Township Chief Song, here is 100,000 yuan, as long as you nod your head, it will be yours!" ”

Song Zhigang glanced at the neatly stacked hundred-yuan banknotes inside, then pushed the bag aside with his hand, and said helplessly: "Old money, it's not a matter of money, this time it's really not good, I must abide by the resolution of the party committee!" In fact, how could Song Zhigang not be tempted when he saw so much money, but now in the township, he can't say anything at all, so he can only endure the pain and cut his love. At the same time, he didn't want Qian Baocai to know the fact that he had no right to speak in the township, so he had to push the resolution of the party committee.

When Qian Baocai saw that Song Zhigang didn't want it, he thought that he didn't want to give too little money, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, he had to get this project, which was related to his future fate, and gritted his teeth and said: "Township Chief Song, I only have so much money in my hand now, you take it first, and I will give you 50,000 yuan when the project money comes down. ”

Song Zhigang saw that Qian Baocai understood what he meant, so he patiently said: "Brother Qian, didn't I tell you, this is not a problem of money at all, let's be honest with you, the leading cadres in the township were adjusted a few years ago, and several people who originally supported me were transferred, and the secretary of the township party committee was replaced by Qin Zihe, and the right to contract the project this time is in his hands, and I don't count it at all!" ”

Qian Baocai's heart was cold when he heard this, Song Zhigang said it to this point, then he really didn't say it, he didn't have any acquaintances in the city, the last time he contracted the project was Song Zhigang, if Song Zhigang didn't work, he really couldn't do it, but if he couldn't contract this project, he would die, thought for a while and said: "Township Chief Song, don't you have an old leader in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, you ask him to help talk to that Qin Zihe, I don't believe he doesn't even give face to the city leader!" ”

Even the idea of his old leader has been hit, Song Zhigang can't help but be a little bored with Qian Baocai, the old leader just warned himself, this kind of thing can't go to the old leader at all, he now understands that even if the old leader comes forward in person, Qin Zihe may not be able to sell his face, if it causes the dissatisfaction of the old leader, he will lose even more than he gains.

Thinking of this, Song Zhigang said: "This Qin Zihe is determined to contract the project in accordance with the four standards set by the party committee, a few days ago the deputy mayor in charge of water conservancy Wang Hongyuan personally called him for his brother-in-law to ask for the project, he gave it back, unless you can move the secretary of the municipal party committee and Mayor Peng, otherwise it won't work at all, I can't do anything, I think you have to find another way!" ”

Qian Baocai was anxious when he heard it, from the conversation, he could feel that Song Zhigang was not not not helping him, but he was really powerless, although he was unlucky to not get this project, but Song Zhigang couldn't get rid of the relationship, he repeatedly weighed in his heart whether to explain this problem to Song Zhigang, and made it clear that he could tie Song Zhigang and himself together, but he had no effect at all now, and it was useless to tie them together. Things have not yet reached the end of the mountain, it is better not to take that step, besides, you really can't contract this project, you can also buy yourself a certain amount of time, calmly leave!

Qian Baocai's brain turned quickly, and after pleading with Song Zhigang again, he saw that he really had no choice, so he asked him about Qin Zihe's situation, he had decided to take the money directly to smash Qin Zihe, 100,000 if it didn't work, 150,000 if it didn't work, 200,000 if it didn't work, money was the last word, he didn't believe that there were people who didn't like money!

Qian Baocai asked a lot about Qin Zihe's situation, but he didn't ask about Qin Zihe's economic situation, in his mind, a twenty-four or five-year party secretary, has just been in power for a long time, the power in his hands has not yet been used, there are only a few salaries a month, there must be no money in his hands, as long as he is willing to spend money, I don't believe him will not agree.

However, Qian Baocai thought that he had made sufficient preparations, but when he went to Qin Zihe, he still hit a nose, saying that Qin Zihe welcomed the contracted project, but the premise was that the four standards must be met, otherwise there was no need to talk, and when he took out an unimpeded huge amount of money to bribe, Qin Zihe turned his face on the spot and pointed to the money and asked him to take it immediately, otherwise he would send the money to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. He had no choice but to take the money and leave. Until the crime, he didn't understand why this young man didn't like money!
