Secretary Lu nodded with a worried face, thought for a moment, and then asked Secretary Li: "Which counties and cities are the hardest hit areas of illegal fund-raising in our province now, what preventive measures do the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the public security department have, and what is the attitude of the local party and government leaders?" ”

Secretary Li replied: "Now the hardest hit area of illegal fundraising in our province is Zinan City in Z City, which is the county-level city in Elder Zhang's hometown; The other is Huangzhi County in T City, in addition, Xiaoye's hometown Xinleng County is also a hard-hit area, these counties and cities with serious illegal fund-raising have a common feature, they are all resource-based cities, in these places, there are many nouveau riche who rely on digging coal, digging antimony mines, and digging lead-zinc mines to get rich overnight.

"In recent years, when the prices of coal, antimony products and lead-zinc ore have continued to fall, these nouveau riche began to want to change careers with large sums of money, but due to their own limitations, they have no other way to change careers, so they have to take two paths: either they will open an investment company, and while raising funds, they will lend money to make money; Either they simply don't want to do anything, and directly invest their surplus funds in some large investment companies to earn high interest, and moreover, in these resource-rich counties and cities, the common people are also relatively wealthy, and most of them have a little surplus money in their hands, so they have also invested their own money in investment companies to earn high interest rates several times higher than those of banks.

"Because of the large number of people involved in illegal fund-raising in these counties and cities, if the investment companies are cracked down, it is likely to cause social unrest, so the leaders of these counties and cities that are seriously affected by the disaster are now adopting the method of covering the lid and turning a blind eye to the illegal fund-raising activities, and some leaders even secretly help those large investment companies to take loans from banks, hoping to help them tide over the difficulties, at least not to break out large-scale turmoil during their tenure.

"Our Discipline Inspection Commission has nothing to do about this phenomenon for the time being, and now we can only arrange for people to go down to secretly investigate and understand, grasp some information, and we cannot take any action for the time being, because cracking down on illegal fund-raising is mainly a matter for the public security organs, and our Discipline Inspection Commission can only investigate and deal with the problem of party-member leading cadres suspected of illegal fund-raising or dereliction of duty, so I am also suffering from no good solution now."

Secretary Lu's eyes showed an angry look, and said: "On the issue of prohibiting illegal fundraising, the provincial party committee has issued several documents one after another, but the following has been in violation, and I dare not and are unwilling to crack down on this illegal behavior that is very easy to cause social turmoil. How to explain to the people of the province. ”

Secretary Li thought for a while and said: "Secretary Lu, I have an idea: the provincial party committee has now issued another document, requiring those counties and districts that have illegal fund-raising phenomena to take action within half a year to resolutely crack down on and ban all kinds of investment companies suspected of illegal fund-raising, and must these investment companies return the money raised to investors. We should carry out a comprehensive inspection of the implementation of the decisions of the provincial party committee in the localities, and if the rectification and reform in any place is not in place, and there is still the phenomenon of illegal fund-raising, the local leaders will be punished by party and government discipline, and if they are serious, they can be investigated for legal responsibility. ”

After listening to Li Runji's proposal, Secretary Lu frowned and thought about it, nodded and said: "Comrade Runji, your method is very good, I feel: If the provincial party committee does not increase the intensity of supervision and does not send people to keep an eye on the below, some comrades below will be very unconscious, and they will disobey the policy and have countermeasures, which is a very headache. ”

Ye Ming heard Secretary Li mention the Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office, and his heart couldn't help but move: after graduating from the Provincial Party School, the biggest possibility is to be assigned to the Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office first, if he can participate in the supervision and inspection of cracking down on illegal fundraising, it is a good way to give full play to his ability and be able to see the results quickly.

So, he said to Secretary Li half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Secretary Li, if I can successfully enter the work of the Provincial Party Committee, it is likely to be working in the Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office, when the time comes, if you want to set up a joint inspection team to go down to the place where the phenomenon of illegal fund-raising is serious to supervise, I want to take the initiative to invite Ying, participate in the inspection team, I am a young man, I should go down more to run, moreover, I have been working at the grassroots level, and I also know the inside story and means of some investment companies and illegal fund-raising, if I participate in the supervision team, There should be a certain advantage, when the time comes, please Secretary Li approve my request, hehe. ”

When Secretary Lu heard Ye Ming take the initiative to say that he wanted to participate in the inspection team to crack down on illegal fundraising, his heart was also moved: letting Ye Ming participate in a joint inspection team is indeed a good way, so that he can not only go to the local area to get acquainted with more officials, but also make achievements in the inspection team, so as to provide him with a good foundation for the future in the Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office.

So, without waiting for Secretary Li to answer, Secretary Lu preemptively said: "Comrade Runji, I think Xiao Ye's enthusiasm for taking the initiative to invite Ying to participate in the war is good, we should encourage it, so let Comrade Runji personally order the generals and transfer you to the joint inspection team." ”

Secretary Lu is now full of wanting his son to make a contribution, so he helped him speak and approved him to participate in the joint inspection team in the future, but he didn't expect at this time that Ye Ming would encounter such a big risk in the joint investigation against illegal fundraising in the future, and even almost lost his life......

Since having that meal with Ye Ming at Secretary Lu's house, Xiao Jin has been more attentive and caring for Ye Ming's study and life, so that when Ye Ming graduated, not only his academic performance was among the best in the class, but also almost all the teachers and class committee members who gave him evaluation scores gave him a high score of more than 90 points, so that he successfully entered the work of the Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office in March of the following year, and Xiao Jin himself was also promoted to the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee at the end of that year.
