Ye Ming knew that Fu Lei was very shrewd and very capable, and he was more at ease with his position as acting county magistrate, so whenever it came to government decision-making, even if Fu Lei took the initiative to report to him, he would not easily express his position, at most he would say "I know", and then let Fu Lei do it, and rarely interfered in the specific affairs of the government.

However, when Fu Lei reported the list of companies participating in the bidding for the mining rights of the Jigongling lead-zinc mine, Ye Ming had a little more mind and decided to take a good look - because he knew very well that although Wei Jiehe, Zhang Jiankun and others had fallen, and Ding Tiansheng's interest group had lost two core generals, because the interests involved in this lead-zinc mine were too great, they would definitely not give up and would definitely come to fight for mining rights again at all costs.

Ye Ming estimates that they are very likely to take advantage of the opportunity of this public auction of mining rights to find an agent of their interests to bid for mining rights, so they must carefully review the background and information of these companies that have signed up for bidding, and once they find that some enterprises may be related to Ding Tiansheng and his interest group, they must resolutely cancel their qualifications to participate in the bidding and nip the disaster in the bud......

Therefore, when Fu Lei showed him the list of companies that had signed up to participate in the bidding for mining rights, he uncharacteristically began to review the basic information of each enterprise one by one, wondering whether these companies might have a relationship with Ding Tiansheng or Wei Jiehe. However, after reviewing it for nearly an hour, there was no problem at all in the information.

So, he put the information back into the file bag, but did not return it to Fu Lei, who had been sitting opposite the desk and waiting, tilted his head and thought carefully for a while, and suddenly asked: "Comrade Fu Lei, among the five enterprises that signed up to bid for mining rights, are there any cases where the superior leaders greet you?" If so, which ones? Who is the leader who greets you? ”

His tone of these words was relatively peaceful, but while asking, he stared at Fu Lei with a sharp and perceptive gaze, so that the latter did not dare to look at him, and lowered his head slightly with a little weakness, avoiding his knife-like cold gaze, hesitated for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Secretary Ye, since you asked this question, then I will report to you frankly: the night before yesterday, County Magistrate Zhong suddenly asked me to dinner, saying that two friends from the provincial capital wanted to meet with me and discuss something, and asked me to pay attention to confidentiality." I made an appointment to the hotel designated by County Magistrate Zhong, and sure enough, two people from the provincial capital were waiting for me in the box with County Magistrate Zhong.

"At that time, County Magistrate Zhong introduced me that the younger man's surname was Yao, the son of Yao Gaofeng, the current deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, and everyone called him 'Yao Gongzi'; another person in his 40s was a native of Min'an, and County Magistrate Zhong asked me to call him 'Commander Hong', a well-known entrepreneur. Subsequently, the county magistrate Zhong told me the purpose of Yao Gongzi's visit to Beishan, saying that there was a mining enterprise called 'Honghua Mining Company', and that the chairman Gong Pengju was a distant relative of Yao Gaofeng, and Yao Gongzi called him 'Uncle Cousin'. This company is very strong, especially good at mining lead-zinc ore and copper ore under complex geological and hydrological conditions, the mining technology is not advanced, and it pays special attention to environmental protection issues. Yao Gongzi and Commander Hong came to me this time just to ask me to help and assist their company in obtaining the mining rights of the Jigongling lead-zinc mine——"

Ye Ming asked coldly, "They asked you for help, what benefits did they promise to give you?" As far as I know, this Yao Gongzi and Commander Hong are very generous, and they shouldn't come to you empty-handed to discuss help! ”

Fu Lei looked at Ye Ming in surprise and asked, "Secretary Ye, do you know Yao Gongzi and Commander Hong?" ”

Ye Ming nodded and said, "I've been in contact with them, they're not good goods anyway, you must be vigilant." ”

Fu Lei nodded thoughtfully and said: "Secretary Ye, since you know them, then I don't need to hide it: they did promise to give me benefits, and also provided me with two options: one is to give me a little share of 'Honghua Mining Company' and give me dividends according to shares every year, and the other is to directly give me five million cash." They also said that in order to show the company's sincerity, they could first give me an advance payment of one million yuan, which can be said to be a deposit, on the condition that I must say hello to the county land bureau and other personnel involved in the auction work, and provide the company with some valuable information to ensure the success of Honghua Mining Company's bidding. ”

Ye Ming immediately asked, "Did you promise them?" Confiscation of the one million advances? ”

Fu Lei was displeased and said: "Secretary Ye, do you think I am such a brainless and unprincipled person?" Besides, if I take their money, or accept their shares, will I report it to you? ”

Ye Ming showed a smile on his face, nodded and said, "This is the best." In this way, you leave the information of Honghua Mining Company here, and I will take a good look at it and do some research work. In addition, if Yao Gongzi and Commander Hong come to you again to negotiate and want to send you money, you don't shirk, meet with them first, but call me before meeting, and I will arrange someone to deal with it. ”

Fu Lei guessed that Ye Ming wanted to arrest someone, and asked a little hesitantly: "Secretary Ye, is it appropriate to do this?" After all, Yao Gongzi is the son of Deputy Director Yao of the Provincial People's Congress, his father used to be the executive vice governor and has a relatively deep background, if he arrests his son in this way, will he cause trouble? ”

Ye Ming smiled contemptuously and said: "This Yao Gongzi relied on his father's residual prestige, working as a broker everywhere to make black money, last time Yu Heguang County Magistrate was almost killed by him, and now he wants to bribe you again, I must beat him, let him suffer a little and remember a little longer." Don't worry, if he sends you money this time, you refuse on the spot, and then the people from the procuratorate will rush in and arrest him and Commander Hong. At most, they are charged with attempted bribery, and they will not be sentenced to prison, but they will only teach them a lesson. ”

Fu Lei suddenly thought of a question, couldn't help but shudder, looked at Ye Ming a little suspiciously, hesitated for a long time before trying to ask: "Secretary Ye, I see that Yao Gongzi and Commander Hong seem to have a very close relationship with County Magistrate Zhong, what if they are arrested, Pan bites and says that County Magistrate Zhong accepted their money?" ”

Ye Ming sneered and said, "Then what else can I do?" Do what you want! How? You don't believe in County Magistrate Zhong's character and ability to resist corruption? I believe that County Magistrate Zhong is a principled person and will not be easily knocked down by sugar-coated shells! ”

Speaking of this, he warned Fu Lei with a semantic pun: "Comrade Fu Lei, I believe that you are a good comrade who stresses principles, abides by the bottom line, and has integrity, and should understand the principle of confidentiality. What I am telling you today is on the premise of trusting you very much, and I hope you don't spread it, let alone reveal my thoughts to the parties concerned. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Fu Lei wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, nodded again and again, and said, "I understand, I understand!" Secretary Ye, don't worry, if I don't even have such a principle, then how can I mix in the officialdom? I will definitely keep it confidential, and I will definitely cooperate with your actions, and I will definitely keep it secret! ”
