Chapter 142: A Matter of Principle
Xu Jianmin's previous unit was a large provincial state-owned enterprise, and he worked as the deputy director of the administrative department of that enterprise for nearly ten years, and often dealt with the local government and the people around the enterprise, not to mention that it was also a large unit with nearly 20,000 employees, and was completely vulnerable in front of the local government and the surrounding residents.
As the saying goes, you can't afford to hide if you can't afford to provoke it, but as far as the enterprise is concerned, the local government and the surrounding people can't afford to provoke it, and no one can move such a big enterprise overnight! Besides, even if you want to move away, where do you move? Therefore, when it comes to everything involving the local government and the surrounding people, the enterprises all think they are unlucky, and obediently take the money to settle down.
Lao Xu used to work in a state-owned enterprise, and all his property was owned by the whole people, and he was taken advantage of by the local government and the surrounding people. However, Changda Group Company is a private enterprise, and its property is completely owned by individuals, and Guan Yuntian can donate 2 million at a time to help poor towns and villages build roads, but no one has the right to occupy a penny of Changda Group for free. This is a matter of principle, and there must be no precedent, otherwise if the opening is opened, it will be out of control and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xu Jianmin's timely reminder made Guan Yuntian alert, is it possible that the functional departments deliberately make the price too high in order to take care of the local villagers in the process of contracting and pricing mountain land or existing forests?
In order to avoid this situation, Guan Yuntian asked Lao Xu: "As far as you know, in addition to the relevant functional departments, is there a third-party organization in the society that specializes in this kind of price assessment?"
"Yes, this kind of assessment agency is generally in a relatively large city such as a provincial capital, and the county town has not yet seen it. ”
"Mr. Xu, you should hurry up and contact such an organization and invite them to come here to do some field visits and make an assessment on relevant matters. ”
"I can hurry up and implement this, but there are two problems, first, this kind of third-party assessment is charged, in addition, the third-party assessment agency has high qualifications, professionally speaking, it should be more authoritative, but this kind of agency is not an administrative department after all, for the township level local government and villagers in mountainous and hilly areas, the assessment made by the third-party agency is not as authoritative as the conclusion given by the government functional department, do you believe it?" Lao Xu further reminded.
"On the one hand, invite a third-party organization, naturally to pay an assessment fee, this money must be spent, and it is worth spending, think about it, if someone makes Changda Group a big wrongdoer, not to mention a lot, even if the contract fee per mu of mountain land is 50 yuan more, tens of thousands of acres of mountainous land, how much more money do you have to take out every year?
Xu Jianmin nodded yes, "If a small amount adds up, this account will be scary." ”
Guan Yuntian continued: "Just now you mentioned a practical problem, the third-party agency is not a government department after all, the township and villagers would rather believe the conclusion issued by the county-level functional department, rather than the assessment of the third-party agency, with my understanding of those people, it is entirely possible that this situation exists, but even if it costs a little money, the third-party assessment must be done, otherwise, the county-level functional department really wants to give an unreasonable contract price, what do we refute?"
"Mr. Guan is really thoughtful!" Lao Xu paused, admiring the young man from the bottom of his heart, "Township level government departments and villagers can not believe in the assessment of third-party institutions, but county-level functional departments generally do not doubt the authority of third-party institutions, if the relevant departments deliberately give outrageous contract prices in order to take care of the interests of the grassroots and villagers, we can come up with the evaluation results of the third-party institutions and argue with them!" After all, the professionalism of third-party institutions is not possessed by county-level functional departments, and they should be afraid of authoritative assessment conclusions. ”
"Therefore, if you pay an additional assessment fee, you should also invite a third-party agency to do the assessment. If nothing else, even if it's just to get a basis, it's worth it. "Guan Yuntian said.
Two or three days later, Lao Xu found an appraisal firm called "Yonglian" in the provincial capital through a friend, and he faxed the situation to the other party, and invited the other party to send business personnel to the site to check on the spot.
After negotiating the appraisal fee with Yonglian Appraisal Firm, the other party sent three appraisers to Changda Group the next day, and Xu Jianmin accompanied the appraisers to the mountainous and hilly areas for a field trip.
About ten days later, Yonglian Appraisal Office sent an appraisal report of more than 100 pages to Xu Jianmin by express mail, and he flipped through it slightly and immediately sent it to Guan Yuntian's office.
"Is the result so fast?" Guan Yuntian flipped through the assessment report, "I immediately contacted County Magistrate Liu and asked him to greet the relevant departments, so that the functional departments could start working as soon as possible to see what difference the price they gave and the third-party assessment conclusions." ”
Guan Yuntian called Deputy County Magistrate Liu and asked him to help with the assessment of mountain contracting and the valuation of existing forests.
Deputy county magistrate Liu knew that the contracting and appraisal of mountainous and hilly areas was under the jurisdiction of the Land and Resources Bureau, and that the price of existing forests should be the responsibility of the Forestry Bureau, so he first telephoned the Land Bureau and explained the matter of assessing the contracted price of mountainous land, and then informed the Forestry Bureau so that they could assess the price of those trees in the northern mountainous areas.
There is a land assessment office under the Land Bureau, and after the deputy director in charge of the land bureau arranges for it, the staff of the assessment office usually have to go to the mountainous areas to check on them, which is their normal work, and no one pays extra for them.
During the on-site inspection by the staff of the assessment office, they may have talked with the villagers working in the mountains, and they knew that the purpose of the assessment of the mountains was to contract out, and it was contracted to the famous Changda Group!
If it is not Changda Group, but some other unit, the staff of the assessment office of the Land Bureau may not think much about it, but the contractor is Changda Group, then it is different, on the one hand is the largest private enterprise in the city, on the other hand is the poor mountain villagers, a heroic spirit of robbing the rich and helping the poor in the hearts of several appraisers spontaneously arises, why not make the mountain price a little higher? Let the villagers in the poor mountainous areas get more benefits, this is not for them to send love? For the Changda Group, which contributes more than 3 billion taxes every year, it is nothing to give a little more to the villagers.
With such a starting point, the staff of the assessment office of the Land Bureau began to work, they spent half a month, came up with the land value assessment report of the mountains and hills, and the deputy director in charge of the assessment affairs informed the deputy county magistrate Liu of the situation, after getting the notice, in the afternoon of the same day, Xu Jianmin, the executive deputy head of the preparatory group of the agriculture-related project of Changda Group, went to the Land Bureau to pay a few hundred yuan of work cost, and successfully received the assessment report.
After he brought it back to the unit to read it, he compared it with the report issued by the Yonglian appraisal firm in the provincial capital, and found that the appraisal price of the mountains and hills was at least 30% higher!
Lao Xu took the two reports and came to Guan Yuntian's office, "The assessment report of the County Land Bureau has come out, Mr. Guan, please take a look." ”
Guan Yuntian hastily flipped through it, "Have you seen it, is there any big difference?"
"Compared with the conclusion of Yonglian Appraisal Office, the appraisal price of the county land bureau is at least 30% higher!"
"Oh, it seems that what we expected in advance has really happened! I don't understand why this is happening? Why don't you evaluate it lower?" Guan Yuntian was puzzled.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is a kind of psychology of robbing the rich and helping the poor, or saying that the Changda Group really sees it as Tang monk meat, and I feel a loss if I don't take a bite. Old Xu said.
"Can we recognize the results of their assessment?" asked Guan Yuntian.
"There is such a big discrepancy with a third-party organization, of course it can't be recognized! Mr. Guan, I think this situation should let Deputy County Magistrate Liu know that Changda Group doesn't want to take advantage of anyone, but it can't suffer this kind of dumb loss!"
On matters of principle, Guan Yuntian has never been ambiguous, and he immediately called Deputy County Magistrate Liu and asked to meet with him.
"I'll have a meeting in a moment, why don't you come to my office in the afternoon?" ”
At half past three in the afternoon, Guan Yuntian arrived at the county government building, and after inquiring, he found the office of deputy county magistrate Liu on the fourth floor.
"County Magistrate Liu, there is something I want to inform you about. Guan Yuntian said when he entered the house.
"Oh, please sit down, and tell me what you want. Deputy County Magistrate Liu came over and sat down with Guan Yuntian.
"That's right, the assessment report of the Land Bureau came out, but we previously commissioned a professional assessment agency in the provincial capital to do an assessment, and the assessment results of the Land Bureau are far from the conclusions of the third-party agency. ”
"How much worse?"
"The Land Bureau's assessment results are at least 30 percent higher than those of the third-party professional organization!" Guan Yuntian handed the two reports to Deputy County Magistrate Liu.
"Is it so bad? How did you do it?" Deputy County Magistrate Liu also felt incredible, he looked through the two assessment reports and compared some data with each other.
"County Magistrate Liu, I think there are some problems here, is it a human factor?"
"Mr. Guan, what do you want to say?"
"For example, someone deliberately makes Changda Group suffer losses, and this situation is prone to occur when enterprises deal with individuals. ”
"Are you saying that someone deliberately raised the price of mountains and hills to make Changda Group take more contracting fees?"
"How else to explain the 30 percent increase?"
"There is such a possibility, but what is the purpose of the appraisers in doing this? No matter how high they assess the price of the mountains and hills, they will not get a penny for themselves!" Deputy County Magistrate Liu was puzzled.
"There is a kind of person in society who seems to have the heroic spirit of robbing the rich and helping the poor, but in fact it is a kind of psychology that fears that the world will not be chaotic. ”
Deputy County Magistrate Liu nodded, "Among the assessors of the Land Bureau, once someone knows that the contractor is Changda Group, it is entirely possible to do so deliberately. Since you have the assessment results of a third-party professional organization, you can take the assessment report directly to the assessment office of the Land Bureau and ask them to give a reasonable explanation. ”
"We can go directly to the Land Bureau to ask the reason, but after all, it was you who gave them the assessment task in the first place, I think it is more appropriate for you to come forward, if we go directly, I am afraid that they will be embarrassed. ”
"Well, I'll ask them. Deputy County Magistrate Liu grabbed the phone and dialed a string of numbers in front of Guan Yuntian.
"Hey, Deputy Director Tian of the Land Bureau, can you take the time to come to me?"
After about ten minutes, a person pushed the door in, and asked directly without saying hello: "County Magistrate Liu, what is the matter with me?"
