Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1075 Restructuring Hansteel

Once the plan was finalized, and after consulting with Qijiashan and receiving their approval, the restructuring team moved into Hansteel in a grand procession.

This time, no one stopped them; all that was happening was the uneasy rumor circulating among the employees of Hansteel.

Rumor: Xia Guanglei, the Party Secretary of Beishan City, is going to make changes to the personnel system to help Ma Da and the Beishan City Party Committee regain face.

Seemingly to confirm this rumor, Mada made decisions about the future of several cadres on the third day after he arrived.

Three went to the Municipal Political Consultative Conference, two went to the Municipal People's Congress, and five or six were assigned to the Municipal Writers Association, the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, or the Municipal Federation of Social Sciences.

In Ma Da's words, as a leading cadre, one cannot always do rough work; one must also cultivate one's character from time to time and be a civilized person.

Whether it's civilized or not, I don't know.

However, it's clear to anyone with eyes that these people were the ones who most vehemently urged him to leave last time.

……

Meanwhile, Qi Tongwei was also busy on the government team side, and immediately rearranged the work of the municipal government.

The industrial sector issue was directly handed over to Vice Mayor Jiang Hua.

Executive Vice Mayor Xu Lian was assigned to oversee the asset restructuring of Hansteel.

Xu Lian had no complaints whatsoever. Everyone in Beishan's officialdom knew how much of a political achievement the restructuring of Han Steel had made.

Moreover, Qi Tongwei had privately promised him that as long as Beishan could be successfully promoted, he would strongly recommend him to be transferred to another city as mayor, thus achieving the rank of director-general in one step.

With such a great opportunity looming ahead, Xu Lian's enthusiasm was practically off the charts.

But just a few days later, Xu Lian stormed into Qi Tongwei's office in a rage.

"Mayor, a huge problem has occurred!"

Qi Tongwei looked up, the cigarette between his fingers pausing for a moment: "What's the panic? The sky isn't going to fall."

"It's about that 2 billion yuan reform fund!" Xu Lian slammed a stack of documents on the table, trembling with anger. "Damn it, Xia Guanglei, we clearly agreed on 2 billion yuan for the reform fund, but I never expected there to be so much going on behind the scenes!"

Aside from the 500 million yuan allocated by the central and provincial governments, the remaining 1.5 billion yuan... was all loans from the provincial bank! And the interest rates were outrageously high!

"What? Holy crap..."

Qi Tongwei's face darkened instantly, his fingers tightened around the cigarette, his knuckles turned white, and he almost cursed aloud on the spot.

so close!

Fortunately, he didn't impulsively take on the role of commander-in-chief, otherwise he would have had to fill the 1 billion yuan hole!

Where will this money come from? In the end, it's just undermining Beishan City's finances.

Although Hansteel's restructuring was spearheaded by Beishan, in terms of level and affiliation, it will ultimately be transferred to the provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Even if it generates tax revenue in the future, 80% of it will go to the province. So, considering all this, isn't his 1.5 billion yuan just like throwing good money after bad—gone forever?

Moreover, who knows how many more traps like this are hidden behind this?

Fortunately, Xia Guanglei is now in the position of commander-in-chief. This mess should naturally be attributed to Xia Guanglei.

Qi Tongwei told Xu Lian to go ahead with his work, while he took the document and went straight to Xia Guanglei to ask if he knew about the matter.

Xia Guanglei naturally wouldn't back down, feigning surprise, "Isn't the Provincial Party Committee trying to trap us? Are they treating us like stepchildren?"

Qi Tongwei gave him a deep look; he didn't believe that the municipal party secretary was truly unaware of the situation.

This loan may indeed have been approved by the provincial party committee, but the provincial party committee definitely spoke with Xia Guanglei about it.

Xia Guanglei concealed the truth from beginning to end, clearly intending to dig a pit for him to fall into.

He understood everything perfectly, but showed no sign of it on his face.

Qi Tongwei also pretended to be stupid and shouted:

"Two billion was already a tight budget, and then there was a 1.5 billion loan mixed in with it!"

Can we use this money? And if we do, will Hansteel acknowledge the debt?

If Hansteel denies it, who will the bank turn to for repayment? We can't leave Beishan with a messy account!

No, we can't let ourselves suffer such a huge loss. Comrade Guanglei, let's head to the provincial capital now and ask Secretary Pei what happened.

After saying that, he pretended to leave.

Xia Guanglei dared not let Qi Tongwei go to Pei Yihong, and quickly stopped him, "Hey! Comrade Tongwei, there's no need to make such a big deal out of this."

It's just a loan of 1.5 billion yuan. Secretary Pei is busy with many things, so it's understandable that he might have forgotten to mention it.

Here's the arrangement: you can take this 1.5 billion and spend it as you like. I'll handle the repayment; I won't touch a single penny of Beishan City's finances.

"I wouldn't dare use it." Qi Tongwei waved his hands repeatedly, his attitude very firm. "The money is still in the account, it can be withdrawn or withdrawn, everything is negotiable."

Once the money is spent, what if the provincial party committee turns its back on it and leaves the whole mess to Beishan? Where can we go to seek justice?

"Comrade Guanglei, you must resolve this matter. If you can't, I think the restructuring work will be completely stalled."

Having said that, Xia Guanglei had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, I'll resolve this issue completely within three days, alright?"
