Chapter 297: Raising the price of water

Previously, the report on Zhao Ming's embezzlement of state-owned assets was suppressed, and Pan Baoshan also roughly understood the reasons and knew one of them.

Now, Pan Baoshan decided to make the movement a little bigger.

Or through Wang Sankui to find Bian Deyi, and then find Bian Deguang, provide him with a summary of Zhao Ming's embezzlement, and give him a certain amount of activity funds, and ask him to find the employees of the original city tourism company and its subsidiaries to sign and draw again.

Of the 500 employees, Pan Baoshan asked for 500 employees to press their fingerprints, and then arranged for someone to escort Bian Deguang and nine other employee representatives, a total of 10 people, to Shuanglin and send them to the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau for real-name reporting.

Pan Baoshan felt that it would be a heavy accusation of blood and tears, which was enough to attract attention.

That's right, the person in charge of the reception of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau was completely shocked when they saw this material and the long list of handprints. Although this was a report and exposure at a higher level, it was still accepted, and reported to the leadership according to the procedure, and was directly listed as a supervised case and remanded to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Songyang Procuratorate for investigation.

When this good news came, Pan Baoshan was with Deng Rumei. The nine-storey dining and lodging building of the Sunshine Mineral Spring Leisure Club has been topped out, and they are discussing the decoration of the dining and lodging building.

Inspired by the provincial second move, Pan Baoshan asked Deng Rumei to choose some of the so-called good rooms and install surveillance covertly. Deng Rumei understood what Pan Baoshan meant, and said yes, and the next step is to apply to become a designated consumption place for the municipal government.

This is not difficult, the guild hall was a state-owned enterprise before the restructuring, and it has basic advantages. And even if you don't have that advantage, you can operate it completely if you are poor and white. Pan Baoshan planned to immediately go to the director of the logistics center of the municipal government to negotiate and put the guild hall on the list of designated hotels for government reception.

Before the buttocks moved, Pan Baoshan learned the news that the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau was going to supervise Zhao Ming's case, and he couldn't help but feel excited, he believed that this time Zhao Ming had no possibility of escaping, even Yan Jingbiao couldn't save it.

However, there is also a possibility, Zhao Ming is trying to protect himself.

There is indeed this possibility, the case returned to the city, Zhao Ming got the news, he felt that this time the matter was by no means ordinary, and immediately convened an emergency meeting of seven people.

Zhao Ming said that this time is definitely a very severe test, everyone must form a group to survive collectively, otherwise they can only perish one after another. He analyzed the situation and said that there was no direct and convincing evidence on the books, and that those were not worried, but afraid of the collapse of the internal organization.

"If it is really investigated, after the case-handling personnel have no clue, it is very likely that they will take the method of breaking it one by one." Zhao Ming looked very nervous, and the cigarette he lit didn't smoke for a long time, and a large piece of cigarette ash fell silently on the table.

After Zhao Ming realized it, he blew it violently, and in an instant, there were really some signs of ashes, and everyone trembled in their hearts.

"As I said earlier, the case-handling personnel may use the method of breaking them one by one." Zhao Ming was a little embarrassed, so he simply extinguished the small half of the cigarette in the ashtray and said, "It's just to keep an eye on one or a few of us, create all kinds of pressure to disintegrate, and finally open the gap." ”

Everyone was nervous, no one spoke.

"In order to ensure that the overall situation is not dispersed, there must be a certain spirit of sacrifice, if a person has a problem, we must resist it, and we must bear it." If others don't say it, Zhao Ming can't help but say it, it's him who makes the idea, "Of course, it's not for nothing, there is compensation." Now it is the decision of our shareholders' meeting, to set up another account of 10 million as a compensation fund, whoever has a problem, as long as it can bear it, and stabilize our overall situation, we will compensate to whose wife and children. ”

took out 10 million, Zhao Ming made up his mind, and he did not hesitate to cut the meat in order to stabilize his position. Indeed, this played a certain role, and the other six shareholders all felt that even if they planted it themselves, it was worth it to grit their teeth and admit it.

However, this is the last step, Zhao Ming will not be easy to comply, if there is any other way, he still has to find a relationship, or find Shi Baihai, Zhao Ming asked if he could think of another way, let Yan Jingbiao suppress the situation a little.

It was useless, Shi Baihai shook his head without hesitation, because Yan Jingbiao had already given instructions.

After receiving the instructions from the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Municipal Procuratorate thought about it and felt that it was still necessary to report to the city to see the overall situation, so he sent a report to Yan Jingbiao. Yan Jingbiao saw that the problem was serious, and he would not be confused because of this matter, so he waved his pen and wrote four words: Check to the end.

This time Zhao Ming was really panicked, but he was not desperate, he was sure that the loopholes in the financial procedures had been filled, and the offensive and defensive alliance was unbreakable, so there should be no problem.

Zhao Ming's calculation was correct to a certain extent, and the case-handling personnel really couldn't find any direct problems for a while. However, the person handling the case knew that it was definitely not the truth.

In this regard, Pan Baoshan was also quite anxious, and he pondered how to think of a way to cooperate secretly.

Before he could come up with a solution, another troublesome thing came out again, Yan Jingbiao was struggling to engage in urban construction finances, and he actually had to scrape oil on the heads of the people and raise the price of water.

Yan Jingbiao convened the Standing Committee and threw out the topic of "discussion" when he came up, raising the price of water from the current one and a half cents per ton to nine per ton.

Pan Baoshan suspected that he had heard it wrong, and suddenly mentioned seven cents and five cents? He looked at Xu Guangfang.

Xu Guangfang was also stunned, and he asked how much it had been improved. Yan Jingbiao was very crisp and said a piece of nine.

"I disagree!" Xu Guangfang objected very simply, "The amplitude is too large, and the psychological tolerance of the people must be considered." ”

"This time it is a unified national price adjustment, and it must be adjusted everywhere, and the range is very large." Yan Jingbiao said, "We in Songyang do need to improve significantly according to actual needs. ”

"What is the actual demand to be so high?" Xu Guangfang didn't buy it, "This is an unpopular thing to kill chickens and take eggs, and it is easy to cause social emotional instability." ”

"Whether the social mood is stable or not, that's a later story, and we need to do work to appease them, so I'll talk about the demand for price increases first." Yan Jingbiao was obviously fully prepared, he did not directly refute Xu Guangfang, but talked about the reason, "First of all, the water price in our Songyang has always been low compared with the surrounding cities, which has also led to the loss of the city water company year after year. Judging from the statistical statements of the past three years, the losses were very serious, from more than 60 million the year before last year, to more than 100 million last year, and to more than 190 million this year. At such an increasing rate, can the finances be able to bear it? Secondly, in terms of water quality, the water quality of tap water in Songyang still needs to be improved, and at least five more items should be tested, and the cost will also rise. In addition, the continuous expansion of the water supply network requires a huge investment in facility costs, which also requires a certain amount of investment. ”

"The last two reasons are actually covered by the first reason." Xu Guangfang spoke very politely, "The loss of the water company is the actual situation, and the price increase is indeed needed, but the magnitude cannot be so large." After careful analysis, an average family will spend about 20 yuan more on living expenses a month. Twenty yuan may not be much, but I still say that, let's not talk about the economic affordability of the people, at least we must consider the psychological affordability first. ”

"What do you think would happen if the work of the government was done according to the wishes of the masses?" Yan Jingbiao asked.

"Harmony." Xu Guang said angrily.

"Harmony?" Yan Jingbiao tilted his head and said heavily: "I think it's harmony but not harmony, then it's messy!" ”

"What's the mess?" Xu Guang said, "The sharp price increase is obviously cutting the flesh of the common people, which is called chaos!" ”

"Where did you get the saying about cutting meat?" Yan Jingbiao said, "Take it from the people and give it to the people, in the final analysis, if the water price is raised so that the water company does not lose money, the finance will spend less, and it will be able to support urban construction a little more." If the urban construction is done well, isn't it the common people who have benefited? ”

"Can the common people understand what you say?" Xu Guang said, "Can you be calm? ”

"Work, work." Yan Jingbiao showed generosity, seemed to be very stable, and said indifferently: "We must build momentum through the media, and then pass round after round of price hearings, and finally let the price bureau make a final decision." Moreover, this time the increase is not only for residents' domestic water, but also for commercial, industrial and special water, and the magnitude is even greater. ”

Xu Guangfang stopped talking, and he had nothing to say, some were just annoyed.

After the meeting, Xu Guangfang called Pan Baoshan to the office and complained, saying that Songyang now uses nearly 300,000 tons of water a day, almost 100 million tons a year, and according to the average of the comprehensive price increase of various water uses, the water company's loss hole can almost be filled. That is to say, as soon as the water price is raised this time, the financial situation will be more than 100 million, and then it will be squandered on urban construction, and then part of it will fall into personal pockets in disguise.

"I guess that's just the beginning." Pan Baoshan did not speak at the meeting, but he saw Yan Jingbiao's movements very clearly, "The next step may be to raise electricity prices." ”

"That's right." Xu Guang said, "This is the pain of the people." ”

"That won't work." Pan Baoshan said, "Some things can only be accepted against the grain." ”

"Let's take it one step at a time." Xu Guangfang said, "The price increase can't be stopped." ”

That's right, the will of the leader cannot be easily reversed, and the action is fast and powerful. Soon, newspapers, radio and television stations began to create an atmosphere, continuous reporting and discussion, and interaction with readers, in short, to build momentum, but also to give the people a way to vent.

The common people scolded, Yan Jingbiao didn't care about it, but was very proud, he laughed softly, said scold, and paid for it after scolding. Of course, Yan Jingbiao said this to himself behind closed doors, on the surface he was worried, saying that it was difficult to carry out the work, the pressure was high, and it was not easy to do something practical.

In fact, Pan Baoshan's attention in this matter is not high, and what he has been concerned about recently is only Zhao Ming's case. Through Peng Zilai, I learned that the case-handling personnel of the Municipal Anti-Corruption Bureau were really at a loss, and they had already resorted to the method of breaking them one by one, but the results were not great.

Fortunately, the efforts of the Municipal Anti-Corruption Bureau have not given up, because there are strict Jingbiao's instructions, and they also have to strive to give an explanation to the provincial bureau, so the case-handling personnel are very attentive. After screening, they chose Zhang Kang, who was not very qualitative, as the only ultimate goal, and felt that it was more likely to open a gap from him.
