June 26, 1998, 9 o'clock, Binh Duong Hotel

Seeing off Liu Huabo, Ma Wanli and other leaders of the provincial party committee in front of the Pingyang Hotel, Gao Changhe was about to discuss the matter of the flat rolling mill with Jiang Chaolin, but Sun Yadong dragged Gao Changhe back, saying that he had something to report. When Gao Changhe was hesitating, Jiang Chaolin spoke first: "Comrade Changhe, then you can talk first, I'll wait for you in the office." After that, he got into car No. 0001 and left, without even looking at Gao Changhe again.

Gao Changhe was a little unhappy, and as soon as Jiang Chaolin's car started, he said to Sun Yadong: "What must be reported now?" I have a lot to do today, and I want to hand over to Comrade Chaolin specifically, and I want to take time to go to the flat rolling mill. If you want to report, be concise and to the point......"

Sun Yadong said: "What I want to talk about is the flat rolling mill and the problem of corruption. Secretary Gao, I wanted to report to you last night, but before I got to the point, you were called away by Comrade Hua Bo. I couldn't wait for you, so I went to see Comrade Ma Wanli, and by the way, I talked to Secretary Ma about the relevant information I had already mastered......"

Gao Changhe was stunned for a moment, and became more and more unhappy: "Comrade Yadong, what kind of trouble are you doing?" I have just arrived, the specific handover has not been completed, and our new team has not met once, what do you report to Secretary Ma? What's there to report?! ”

Sun Yadong wanted to say something, looked at the people coming and going in front of him, stopped again, pushed Gao Changhe, and said: "Secretary Gao, let's talk in a room, I won't take up much of your precious time, half an hour at most." ”

As soon as he sat down in the room, Sun Yadong became emotional: "Secretary Gao, don't get me wrong, I'm doing this completely for the sake of your work!" You are right, the new leadership has not yet met, and what I can say can only be my personal opinion, not on your behalf or on behalf of the new municipal party committee. Besides, it's not the first time that I've reported the problem of Pingyang to the relevant departments of the province, and even Jiang Chaolin and Wen Chunming can't say that I was carrying out a surprise attack, right? Before looking for Secretary Ma, I seriously considered it and felt that it was appropriate for both public and private affairs. I can't give up my principles, and I have to support your brother's work in private, even if it's a little infamous for you......"

Gao Changhe waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I understand your feelings, but brother, you must know that the handover of the team is always the most sensitive time, and it is also the time when there are the most contradictions. There is something wrong with the unity of the original team of you and Pingyang, so you must pay special attention to unity. ”

Sun Yadong's face couldn't hold back: "Secretary Gao, then may I ask: Should this unity be principled?" Do you want to talk about right and wrong? The flat rolling mill obviously threw 1.2 billion yuan into the water, and there are a lot of problems, why can't it be investigated? Is this normal? By the way, yesterday the Xinhua News Agency reporter went to the flat rolling mill, and I heard that it was to verify an internal reference draft, and no one who wanted to cover up the problem of the flat rolling mill could not cover it. ”

Gao Changhe said suspiciously: "How do you know so clearly about the flat rolling mill?" Even the Xinhua News Agency wants to send internal references? Comrade Yadong, please tell me the truth, who wrote the Xinhua News Agency's internal reference article? Did you know? ”

Sun Yadong thought for a while, looked at Gao Changhe and asked, "Secretary Gao, then let me ask you first, are you still not the Gao Changhe in the past?" Has the status changed, and the people have also changed? Do you still have the courage to stand up for your principles? ”

Gao Changhe didn't answer, patted Sun Yadong's shoulder, and sighed: "Don't be so serious, Yadong, you say, what's going on in the flat rolling mill, what kind of hard materials do you have." ”

Sun Yadong said confidently: "Let's talk about three facts: First, one-third of the earliest steel rolling equipment imported from abroad was unqualified, and the international claims lawsuit was fought for more than five years, and it was not concluded until last year, and the direct economic loss was more than 40 million yuan. How did so much substandard equipment come in? 2. According to our latest survey, in the ten years since the launch of this project, there have been more than 673,000 gifts and reimbursements, who have they given to? 3. The 4.32 million yuan raised by the workers also made them pay for their tuition, but there is no explanation so far, and it has caused a very bad impact. Just in response to these three facts, you Gao Changhe said, should you check it carefully? But when Jiang Chaolin was in office, he resolutely disagreed with the investigation, saying that it had a big impact, the problem was complicated, and if it was not done well, Pingyang would be very passive. He also said that judging from the situation of several audits, there is not much discrepancy, that is, there are some violations of discipline. 670,000 was sent out, is it just a violation of discipline? Did the giver take the benefit? Did you really give it away, or did you put it in your pocket? ”

Gao Changhedao: "So, you sent an internal reference to Xinhua News Agency behind Jiang Chaolin and the Municipal Party Committee, right?" ”

Sun Yadong nodded and confessed: "Yes, this kind of thing can't be covered!" ”

Gao Changhe said: "You are also violating discipline, and you make a clear statement: I am against it!" ”

Sun Yadong was stunned, looking at Gao Changhe in a daze.

Gao Changhe sank his face: "I don't know much about the situation of the equipment inspection at the beginning, and I can't answer you now, but about the question of 670,000 gifts in ten years, I think it is also caused by specific conditions." None of us live in a vacuum, and the phenomenon of gift-giving exists objectively. During the New Year's holidays, where do you not give gifts to the superior departments and related units? I sent it when I was in the provincial capital. 670,000 in ten years, is it much? Maybe it's too much, maybe it's not much, the average is less than 70,000 a year, so many related units want to sprinkle perfume, and it's a matter if you can't sprinkle it in one place, isn't it? ”

Sun Yadong said very politely: "Yes, Chinese characteristics, that's why there is a mess like a flat rolling mill that can only give gifts and not roll steel, and there are so many corrupt and incompetent people, so our people have to continue to pay tuition!" It is precisely because of this that discipline inspection commissions at all levels must be set up, and the sword of anti-corruption must be hung high! ”

Gao Changhe waved his hand: "Okay, Yadong, let's say this first, I still have to talk to Comrade Jiang Chaolin about work." Finally, if you really support my work, I hope you can put the overall situation of cooperation and work first, eliminate misunderstandings with Comrade Chaolin and Comrade Chunming, and take the lead in doing a good job of unity and ......."

Sun Yadong said coldly: "Unity has a premise and principles, not harmony. ”

Gao Changhe really couldn't imagine that this old friend in front of him would be so stubborn and incomprehensible, so he took out the majesty of the secretary of the municipal party committee and said without concession: "Comrade Yadong, of course the unity I am talking about is principled, but the problem is that our understanding of principles may be somewhat different at present. Now let me make it clear that you should not ask too much about the problem of the flat rolling mill, I will personally investigate and deal with it, and if you think that I have violated the principle, you can report it to the provincial party committee and even the central government, which is your legitimate right. However, there is one point I would like to declare first: In the future, I must seriously deal with anyone who violates organizational discipline and blames the press for internal affairs behind my back and the city party committee. I think that's it. ”

As soon as Gao Changhe's words fell, Sun Yadong shook his hand and left.
