Secretary Lu nodded with a worried face, thought for a while, and asked Secretary Li: "What are the hardest hit areas of illegal fundraising in our province now?" What precautions do the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the public security department have? 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 characteristic, that is, they are all resource-based cities. In these places, there are many nouveau riche who rely on digging coal, antimony mines, and 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 have begun to want to change careers with large sums of money. However, 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 lend money to make money while raising funds; Or simply don't think about anything, and directly invest your surplus funds in some large investment companies to earn high interest. Moreover, in these resource-rich counties and cities, the common people are also relatively wealthy, and most of them have a little money in their hands. As a result, they have also invested their money in investment companies and earned high interest rates several times higher than those of banks.

"Because of the large number of people involved in illegal fundraising in these counties and cities, if investment companies are cracked down, it is likely to cause social unrest. Therefore, 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 illegal fund-raising activities, and some leaders have even secretly helped those large investment companies to take loans from banks, hoping to help them tide over the difficulties, or at least not to break out into large-scale turmoil during their term of office.

"Our Commission for Discipline Inspection 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 and grasp some information, and we cannot take any action for the time being. This is because cracking down on illegal fund-raising is mainly a matter for the public security organs. Our discipline inspection commission can only investigate and deal with the problem of party members and leading cadres suspected of illegal fund-raising or dereliction of duty. So, I'm also suffering now! ”

Secretary Lu showed an angry look in his eyes and said: "On the issue of prohibiting illegal fundraising, the provincial party committee has issued several documents one after another, but the following have been in violation of the law, and they dare not and are unwilling to crack down on this illegal behavior that is very easy to cause social turmoil." In my opinion, if this powder keg is not eliminated before August next year, our Tianjiang Provincial Party Committee will certainly face an extremely grim situation in the future, and it may even affect the convening of the party congress. At that time, how will we explain to the central government? 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." Half a year later, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Public Security Department, and the Provincial Party Committee's Supervision Office dispatched several inspection teams to the counties and municipalities where the disaster of illegal fund-raising was more serious to carry out a comprehensive inspection of the local implementation of the provincial party committee's decision. If rectification and reform are not in place in any locality, and there is still the phenomenon of illegal fund-raising, the local leaders will be punished with party and government discipline. If it is serious, they can be held legally responsible. I think that only in this way can we dispel the luck mentality of those local party and government leaders who want to get away with the tricks and make them attach great importance to this issue. ”

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 that if the provincial party committee does not intensify supervision and inspection, and does not always send people to keep an eye on the lower levels, some comrades below will be very unconscious, and they will go against the good and the bad, and they will engage in the same set of policies and countermeasures, which is a very headache. On the issue of illegal fund-raising, it is indeed very difficult to fundamentally solve this very dangerous and terrifying huge social problem if we do not send a few capable inspection teams to supervise it. ”

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 work in the Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office first. If you can participate in the supervision of the crackdown on illegal fundraising, it is a good way to give full play to your abilities and 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 Office, it is likely that I will work in the Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office." When the time comes, if a joint inspection team is to be set up to go down to a place where the phenomenon of illegal fund-raising is serious, I would like to take the initiative to invite Ying to join the inspection team. I'm a young man, so I should go down there and run more. Moreover, I have been working at the grassroots level, and I also know the inside story and methods of some investment companies and illegal fundraising. If I participate in the inspection team, I should have 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 combat illegal fundraising, his heart was also moved: it is indeed a good way to let Ye Ming participate in a joint inspection team. In this way, he can not only go to the local area to get acquainted with more officials, but also make achievements in the inspection team, which will lay a good foundation for him to obtain an exceptional promotion in the provincial party committee's inspection office in the future.

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, and we should encourage it." In this way, when the time comes, let Comrade Runji personally order you to transfer you to the joint inspection team. ”

Secretary Lu is now full of hope that his son will make contributions, so he helped him speak and approved him to participate in the joint inspection team in the future. However, he didn't expect at this time that Ye Ming would encounter such a big risk when he participated in the joint investigation against illegal fundraising, and even almost lost his life. If he could have foreseen this, he would never have let his son take that risk......

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 was his academic performance among the best in the class, but 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 second year. And Xiao Jin himself was also promoted to deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee at the end of that year.
