In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

"Easy Learning, where are you now?"

Just because Chen Luo wasn't interested in listening didn't mean others weren't; Tian Guofu listened intently!

"Secretary Dakang, I'm at the district party committee and district government."

"Yi Xuexi, Secretary Sha just inquired at the Standing Committee meeting that the shareholding dispute between Dafeng Factory and Shanshui Group must be resolved as soon as possible, and absolutely cannot affect the Guangmingfeng project! I'm asking you now, can your Guangming District Committee and District Government resolve this within a week!"

"A week?"

Yi Xuexi paused for a moment.

"Secretary Dakang, it's like this, there are still some unresolved issues with Dafeng Factory and Shanshui Group..."

"The problem? The problem is that I prepared the whole meal of the Bright Peak project, and now two tables of troublesome guests have arrived!"

I don't care about the process, I only care about the result!

After saying that, Li Dakang hung up the phone, leaving Yi Xuexi staring blankly at the phone and sighing.

Just then, Chen Hai knocked on the door.

dong dong dong...

"Secretary Yi!"

"District Chief Chen, please come in."

Pushing open the door, Chen Hai looked at Yi Xuexi's worried face and said directly, "Secretary Yi, the matter of Dafeng Factory and Shanshui Group can't be delayed any longer. If there's no solution within half a month, I'm afraid..."

Yi Xuexi shook his head upon hearing this.

"Secretary Dakang just called again to bring up this matter, demanding that we resolve it within a week!"

"One week!"

"Secretary Sha personally intervened at the Standing Committee meeting..."

One sentence was enough to shut Chen Hai up.

"This is insane! The workers at Dafeng Factory want resettlement funds, land, or shares, but Shanshui Group is resolutely refusing to budge."

The key issue is that our district's finances don't have any money at all..."

Chen Hai scratched his head, unable to think of any other solution.

"Who says otherwise? If only the district finances had more money." Yi Xuexi sighed, and suddenly, both of them had a flash of inspiration!

Looking at each other, Chen Hai and Yi Xuexi said simultaneously, "Money!"

"Secretary Yi, only our district's finances can provide the funds to get through this difficult time. Once the Guangmingfeng project's payments come in, won't the problem be easily solved?"

"But where will the money come from?"

Yi Xuexi tapped his fingertips on the table.

Without a second thought, Chen Hai said, "Borrow it! Use the district committee and district government's name to get low-interest loans from banks. Isn't that what many local governments do?"

Yi Xuexi pondered. He didn't really want to take out a loan, as it was somewhat risky, but unfortunately, he had no other options at the moment.

"borrow!"

In the end, Yi Xuexi gritted his teeth and made this decision.

At 5 p.m. that day, Yi Xuexi and Chen Hai met with the president of Jingzhou City Bank and borrowed 100 million yuan by mortgaging the investment of the Guangming District Committee and District Government in the Guangming Peak project!

With money, Yi Xuexi and Chen Hai were full of energy.

The next morning, Chen Hai called Zheng Xipo to his office.

"Comrade Zheng Xipo, the Guangming District Committee and District Government are currently paying close attention to the resettlement of our workers."

According to laws and regulations, our district committee and government cannot force Shanshui Group to return the shares to Dafeng Factory. Furthermore, Secretary Dakang clearly stated that changing the land use designation requires paying additional fees, and there's no news on that yet. Dafeng Factory should stop worrying about it.

Just as Zheng Xipo was about to retort, Chen Hai took over and said, "Comrade Zheng Xipo, although the Shanshui Group cannot return the shares to Dafeng Factory, our district committee and government can provide appropriate compensation for the land issue of Dafeng Factory."

Land allocation cannot be granted for free.

Our district committee and government are willing to provide Dafeng Factory with an interest-free loan, which is essentially the land rent. After Dafeng Factory is rebuilt and becomes profitable, it can repay a portion of the principal each year.

This is the greatest sincerity our district committee and government have shown. If we still can't agree to this, then Comrade Zheng Xipo can sue us if he wants; it will only mean he'll drag me and Secretary Yi out of Guangming District as well.

This was the truth. Neither of them had engaged in corruption. Even if they were disciplined, at worst they would be reassigned to a sinecure due to poor work performance. Zheng Xipo knew he couldn't press them any further, so he simply said, "Secretary Yi, District Chief Chen, you are both upright officials. Could you please provide some more interest-free loans so we can rebuild the factory?"

Chen Hai and Yi Xuexi exchanged a glance.

"Ten million will be provided as an interest-free loan for the land, and thirty million will be provided as a loan for the reconstruction of Dafeng Factory, totaling forty million. Comrade Zheng Xipo, will Dafeng Factory be satisfied now?"

"What about the 45 million yuan in resettlement funds?"

When Zheng Xipo mentioned the resettlement funds, Yi Xuexi's lips curled into a slightly unpleasant expression, but he still patiently said, "I will ask Secretary Dakang about the 45 million. In short, we won't let you workers suffer any losses."

"That's good, that's good!"

Zheng Xipo's face beamed with an incredibly bright smile. Sure enough, hard work always pays off!

After Zheng Xipo left, Yi Xuexi picked up the phone on the table and called Li Dakang.

"Hey, Secretary Dakang!"

"City Party Committee," Li Dakang said coldly.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Secretary Dakang, could the city provide some financial assistance for the resettlement of workers from Dafeng Factory?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang sneered.

"Vice Mayor Yi didn't say that at the conference a while ago. Now you want money? I'm sorry, the city's finances aren't sufficient either. We can only provide 20 million. The districts will have to figure out the rest themselves. Is that alright?"

Li Dakang was just saying it out of anger, intending to disgust Yi Xuexi, since the Guangmingfeng project couldn't be delayed. Unfortunately, the clever Yi Xuexi didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words.

"Secretary Dakang, twenty million is fine too!"

The rest will be covered by our district's finances!

"?????????"

Li Dakang was dumbfounded. The district had money? He had been the municipal party secretary for several years, how could he not know the financial situation of each district and county in Jingzhou?

"Vice Mayor Yi, are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, then I'll have the municipal finance department allocate funds to your district. It should arrive before 9 a.m. tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, Secretary Dakang!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Dakang felt something was off. The confidence in Yi Xuexi's tone was completely different from a few days ago. But as strange as it was, Li Dakang didn't delve into it. Who cared where the money in Guangming District came from!

Meanwhile, in the conference room of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

This was also an enlarged meeting of the municipal party committee.

The conference was chaired by Chen Luo.

"Comrades, as you all know, I went to Beijing a couple of days ago."

I can tell you all very clearly that Luzhou is about to experience a qualitative leap in development, and your work will become very busy, but!

However, everyone's hearts were in their throats, pounding wildly.

"However, for the major projects that are coming up soon, I don't care who you are or what your connections are. From bidding to construction, if anyone dares to profit from it or does any shoddy work, I will investigate and punish them. I don't care who your backers are; even if they are provincial or ministerial level officials, I will not let them off lightly!"
