Rebirth of Corrupt Officials - Chapter 58

Li Dakai was very angry, but he couldn’t express his anger, not even to Jiang Xiaochuan! Once the anger was suppressed, the face became much uglier when doing things.

When Jiang Xiaochuan came out of the Municipal Party Committee Office, he saw Sun He, the secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, coming out with a lot of things. Jiang Xiaochuan hurriedly dodged to avoid it, but there was a smile on his lips.

Li Dakai was great, but sometimes the rules were oppressive.

A person could never make everyone satisfied with them, and Jiang Xiaochuan couldn’t be friends with everyone. Li Dakai, for example, was obviously not someone Jiang Xiaochuan could be friends with.

So, he simply stated his position.

The route Jiang Xiaochuan wanted to take was different from Li Dakai’s.

Jiang Xiaochuan had already reported the issue of old city renovation to Li Dakai very seriously. He had just focused on the leak of the old city renovation plan. Jiang Xiaochuan told Li Dakai clearly that Huaxin Group and Lisson Group had cooperated to establish a listed company.

It was absolutely abnormal to want to buy a piece of land with considerable potential at a low price during the land auction in the past few days: First, this land would obviously be included in the development zone soon, even if it was to be sold. It wouldn’t be this time; secondly, people from Huaxin and Lisson obviously became interested in this land because they knew about the old city reconstruction plan; thirdly, foreign companies like Lisson Group purchased land through joint investment and cooperation with Huaxin, taking advantage of a loophole in the law. Once found out, these two companies would be severely punished.

After saying all these three things, Li Dakai could only hold back even if he wanted to say good things about Lisson Group and Huaxin Group. It was not that he did not want to defend the matter, but that Jiang Xiaochuan was too reasonable. What could he do? Interceding with Lesson and Huaxin Groups under such circumstances was tantamount to exposing oneself – with an upper-level leader like Li Dakai, who would dare to reveal the strictly confidential old city renovation plan? Or send the message directly to Huaxin and Lisson Groups. Most people didn’t have the guts.

Jiang Xiaochuan was still trying to find out who leaked the secret, but when he was discussing work with Li Dakai that day, he suddenly came up with a guess and deliberately tested Li Dakai, telling him about the problems of Lisson Group and Huaxin Group. Li Dakai hesitated, not daring to make a decision in a strong tone like before. This was a sign of a guilty conscience.

If Jiang Xiaochuan had handled this matter coldly, the land would eventually have been auctioned off, and the price must have been extremely low. However, after knowing that Li Dakai was closely related to this, Jiang Xiaochuan directly changed his mind and suggested that Li Dakai finalize the old city renovation plan. When the time came, they would hold an auction for land transfer, so that the government’s interests could be maximized.

The renovation plan for the old city was still under preparation and had not been announced to the public. Once it was announced, the price of land in the old city would definitely rise, and then the abandoned land would be able to bring greater benefits to the government.

Therefore, when Jiang Xiaochuan said that he would postpone the land transfer, Li Dakai could not find a reason to refute – Jiang Xiaochuan was also a member of the Standing Committee and deputy secretary. Did Li Dakai want to quarrel with him?

Jiang Xiaochuan played this trick very beautifully.

The most terrifying thing in the world was not a conspiracy, but being string along with no way out.

.

Jiang Xiaochuan left the municipal party committee, got into an official car, and went to inspect state-owned enterprises according to his scheduled itinerary.

The first stop was Rongyuan Heavy Industries.

Rongyuan Heavy Industry was the oldest heavy factory in Chengzhou. It mainly produced heavy machine tools and production machinery and equipment. It stood to reason with the city’s economic construction work was in full swing, the situation of Rongyuan Heavy Industry should have been very prosperous. However, because its own technical equipment couldn’t be updated due to timely problems, Rongyuan Heavy Industry lost a good development opportunity. And because the internal management system was loose, corruption and abuse of power occurred frequently. The management of the entire Rongyuan Heavy Industry was quite chaotic, with unclear authority. When problems arose, they blamed each other. The government had sent many management talents to try to solve the problem. They even specially introduced a group of talents who studied the management of outstanding foreign companies. However, Rongyuan Heavy Industry was still stuck in a difficult situation and was almost determined to plunge into the abyss.

As soon as he arrived at Rongyuan Heavy Industry, Dai Xu came out to receive him. Although Dai Xu and Jiang Xiaochuan were at the same level in terms of party organization relationship, Jiang Xiaochuan was still the mayor and had much more power than Dai Xu.

Dai Xu didn’t expect that Jiang Xiaochuan would come suddenly, and secretly scolded the people below for their careless behavior and not telling him such important news. After hurriedly greeting Jiang Xiaochuan and taking him to visit around, he returned to the office and called a certain government insider to scold them, and then went to Li Dakai to complain.

Li Dakai had just suffered from Jiang Xiaochuan’s strong will, but he still couldn’t vent it out. He was also very angry. Hearing Dai Xu’s full of resentment, he said fiercely: “You hate this person, do you think I don’t?! Jiang Xiaochuan, this person is not in the same position as me but he just didn’t want to listen to me. I should not have listened to Qu Zhendong’s chatter and asked that man to join the Standing Committee! Now, stop talking about this. I know how to deal with it. Now clamp your tail tightly and don’t let anyone catch you. I’ve got the handle. Now that he’s in power, you have to calm down, otherwise he’s determined to destroy your state-owned enterprise. If that really happen, I can’t help you!” After scolding, Li Dakai sneered and hung up.

After getting off the phone, he called Sun He and said, “Both Huaxin and Lisson are applying for loans. Please tell them Rong Group is blocking.”

Li Dakai didn’t want to believe he could lose. He was a top leader in Chengzhou City who had been an official for so many years and had rich fighting experience, he would not be defeated by a young kid! How could Jiang Xiaochuan, the younger generation, still wanted to put pressure on him?

‘Don’t even think about it!’
