Wu Minggao heard Ouyang Xi say that he had evidence of Yuda Company cutting corners, his eyes lit up, and he said a little urgently: "Xiao Ou, wait a minute, you can bring me the evidence, I want to take a closer look at it." The head of the quality supervision station surnamed Liu, you also have to tell him to collect all the evidence as much as possible, and bring it to me tomorrow morning. ”

After Ouyang Xi agreed, Wu Minggao raised his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: "In this bidding of Min'an Avenue Construction Company, in addition to Mida Company, how many qualified construction companies have signed up to participate in the bidding?" ”

Originally, according to the deployment arrangement of the provincial government, every prefecture and city in Tianjiang Province should build a landmark traffic avenue, and the name of the road is "XX Avenue", for example, this landmark road in Min'an City is called "Min'an Avenue", and Huaixi City is called "Huaixi Avenue". Moreover, the construction of this iconic avenue in every city and state must start before next year's party congress and be completed and opened to traffic within two years. Because of the huge investment in this new main road, it has attracted many construction companies to participate in the bidding, and the most promising one is MiTA......

Ouyang Xi is the deputy commander of the Min'an Avenue Construction Project Headquarters, so he naturally knows the number of enterprises participating in the bidding, and replied very neatly: "There are many construction companies participating in the bidding of Min'an Avenue, and in addition to Yuda Company, there are also eight construction companies that have also signed up for bidding. ”

"Then do you estimate: among the other eight companies, how many companies may engage in bid-rigging and collusion with MiTA?"

Ouyang Xi tilted his head and meditated for a moment, then replied: "According to my understanding of these companies, there are about five companies that will be bought or threatened by Yuda Company and become accomplices of the latter's bid-rigging and collusion, and the other three companies are all from the province, and they are all determined to win this project, so they should not be bought by Yuda Company, and they will not be afraid of their threats." ”

Wu Minggao nodded, and asked again: "According to what you know about Xie Benyu and Ouyang Qian, if they want to win in the bidding, what illegal means will they take?" ”

"They should take the following measures: first, they will use bribery or threats against other companies involved in the bidding to force them to withdraw from the competition or help MiTAC to rig bids and collude; Secondly, if the threat is not successful, and there are still companies to compete with them, Xie Benyu will arrange for Ouyang Qian to come forward, find Vice Mayor Zhang or Secretary Wei, and ask them to come forward to do the work of the CEOs of those enterprises in a subtle way, let them give up the competition, and promise to arrange other construction projects for those companies that have made concessions; If this still fails to persuade those companies to withdraw, Xie Benyu and Ouyang Qian will bribe the leaders and staff in charge of the bidding work to secretly obtain the information about the bottom bid, so that the probability of their success in the bid will reach more than 90%. ”

Wu Minggao asked coldly: "Xiao Ou, tell me the truth: have you ever accepted a bribe from MiTA?" ”

Ouyang Xi was stunned for a moment, and replied categorically: "Mayor Wu, I haven't received a penny from Yuda Company, but occasionally I have not been in the same way as Vice Mayor Zhang, and I have accompanied him to attend the dinner organized by Xie Benyu and Ouyang Qian. ”

Wu Minggao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good." To tell you the truth: Xie Benyu wanted to send me money several times before, and the amount was not small each time, but I resolutely refused. I've always adhered to one principle: it's okay to help someone, but never take a penny from them. For example, MiTA, every time they took a project from the city government, they asked me to take care of it, and they also asked someone to greet me. Although I did not hinder them from obtaining the project, I never accepted a penny from them, did not want a pack of cigarettes from them, and never attended their dinners. Now it seems that you and I are following the same strategy, and we kind of think of a piece. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Xi returned to the unit to collect some evidence about Yuda's alleged cutting corners in highway construction, rushed to Wu Minggao's office before leaving work, and handed over the evidence to him.

At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Wu Minggao secretly instructed his driver to pick up the stationmaster surnamed Liu at the quality supervision station of the Municipal Transportation Bureau. In order to avoid leaking the news, Wu Minggao instructed the driver to take Stationmaster Liu to a hotel near the city government and opened a room to wait. He himself rushed to the hotel room at about half past nine, talked with Stationmaster Liu for two hours, and before leaving, told him to pay attention to confidentiality and pay attention to his own safety, and then quietly left the hotel with the report letter and evidence materials provided by Stationmaster Liu......

A few days later, when the Min'an Avenue Construction Project Headquarters was preparing to conduct a qualification review of the enterprises participating in the bidding, Wu Minggao suddenly called Deputy Mayor Zhang Yichi, who served as the executive deputy commander, to his office, first let him read the real-name report letter and evidence materials of the stationmaster Liu of the Quality Supervision Station, and then said to him very seriously: "Comrade Yichi, according to the situation reflected in this report letter, Yuda Company has no qualifications to participate in the highway construction at all, therefore, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Min'an Avenue Construction Project Headquarters, Solemnly made a suggestion to the headquarters: Yuda Company should be excluded from the qualification examination and not allowed to participate in the bidding for the construction project of Min'an Avenue. I would like you to convey my opinion to the other members of the Engineering Command and try to unify my views before the qualification review meeting. ”

Zhang Yichi looked at Wu Minggao with his mouth open, and was stunned for a long time before he said: "Mayor Wu, this stationmaster surnamed Liu has reported to Mida Company many times, after our investigation, most of the content of his report is not true, and many of the evidence provided is obtained by using his stationmaster authority to tamper with data, which is not enough to prove that Mida Company has serious violations of laws and regulations." If MiTAC's bidding qualification is cancelled based on such a report letter alone, I am afraid that it will not be reasonable! ”

Wu Minggao pointed to the thick stack of materials with a little annoyance, and shouted: "Why do you say that the evidence provided by the comrade surnamed Liu was obtained by falsifying the data?" Just now, I carefully read his report letter, and carefully reviewed the evidence he provided, it can be said that the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive and sufficient. Min'an Avenue is a people's livelihood project, a century-old plan, related to the face and image of the entire Min'an City, and those enterprises that have cut corners and cheated must not be allowed to participate in the construction of the project. If you still have any questions, tomorrow we will take this report letter and evidence materials to the headquarters meeting for discussion, and ask other members of the command to judge the authenticity of these evidence materials. ”

Zhang Yichi saw that Wu Minggao was angry, and he already had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to argue anymore, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, I will carry out your order, and I will go to convey the spirit of your instructions to the other members of the command later." ”

After Zhang Yichi left the office in a daze, Wu Minggao sat on the office chair, his eyes kept staring at the red confidential phone on the desk, waiting for Wei Jiehe to call.

Sure enough, about an hour later, the red phone suddenly chirped, and at a glance, the caller ID was the landline in Wei Jiehe's office.

The corners of Wu Minggao's mouth skimmed a sneer in his chest, and he reached out and picked up the landline microphone......
