Chapter 25 besieged town

Cleaning up and rectifying the Foundation used to be a gossip, and the gossip flew around, and finally became an official official news a month later. Monday, at 9:00 a.m., is a routine office meeting as usual.Su Ming came out of Zhao Yongsheng's office and happened to meet Hou Weidong in the aisle. He said with a serious face, "The county is going to hold an emergency meeting. I'm afraid the foundation will be in big trouble this time." "Are you really going to ban the foundation? A while ago, County Magistrate Ma came out to refute the rumors!" Su Ming shook his head and said, "You have never been in charge of the foundation, so you don't know the inside story of it. The management of the foundation is chaotic, and there are quite a lot of bad and bad debts. I don't know how many problems will arise in this clean-up!"

Back in the office, Hou Weidong hurriedly called his second sister and said, "Second sister, I have received accurate information and the foundation will be cleaned up immediately. Yiyang County will have a meeting this morning. How much money you have borrowed from the foundation, you must be mentally prepared. " Hou Xiaoying said sleepily, "In this world, Yang Bailao is the uncle. I have a legal loan and it hasn't expired yet. Why should I pay it back?" Hou Weidong said urgently: "This time, the foundation is completely cleaned up. It is different from usual. If there is no skin, how can the hair be attached?"

Hou Xiaoying just got up and said, "So serious? Now that the business has just started, the working capital has been tight. If you have to pay back the foundation's money, the business will be impossible. I will go to your brother-in-law to discuss it." Banning the foundation is a big storm for the people of Yiyang County.Since it is a storm, there are usually omens.The gossip circulating in the dark, as well as the sudden outbreak of the run, are the harbingers before the storm.It's just that any omen is not regarded as an omen before the disaster comes. Only a few people with a keen sense of smell can see that it is an omen.Hou Weidong had seen the chaotic loan methods of the foundation, and after hearing the rumors, he firmly believed that the foundation would be banned in the short term, so he considered the safety issue after the storm came, and even had a plan to gain benefits in the storm.

In the afternoon, when Zhao Yongsheng, Su Ming, Zhong Ruihua and a strange man got out of the car with gloomy faces, Hou Weidong was very relieved: "My plan is correct, otherwise the new Jinggong Group will definitely face great difficulties, and it will also be difficult for the new Jinggong Group." I don’t know how the second sister and second brother-in-law will deal with this storm!” Ten minutes later, a party-government joint meeting was held in the small conference room. "Today the county party committee officially conveyed the documents of Lingxi Province, and the rural foundations will be fully rectified. From today onwards, the county will send a settlement team, and all account books will be sealed in place, and the settlement team will conduct audit and verification work."

"This is Wu Ming, the head of the settlement team." The Big Dipper on Zhao Yongsheng's face completely lost its former expression, and he said, "Mayor Su will explain the specific work first, and finally, Comrade Wu Ming will emphasize it." Wu Ming didn't talk much, just said: "I work in the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, and I am very familiar with the comrades present. This time, I will be the leader of the settlement team of Qinglin Town. Please cooperate with me in my work." In order to grasp the power of the foundation, Zhao Yongsheng fought indomitably with his three partners. When he finally fully grasped the soap bubble, the soap bubble burst unexpectedly.Real life is often much more bizarre than fiction, but because it is submerged in countless trivial things, people can't see the strangeness.

Hou Weidong is in charge of the Social Affairs Office and the Comprehensive Management Office, and has never been involved with the Foundation.Of course, he used to borrow money from the foundation, but he only had a relationship with the foundation as a user, not as a leader.Therefore, in this storm, he is more of a bystander mentality, which is also the mentality that a deputy should have for other leaders in charge of work.The focus of the deputy is to plant one-third of an acre of land well, and it is best to shut up about other leaders. Su Ming's deputy was in charge of the foundation. After he became the mayor, although the actual power was controlled by Zhao Yongsheng, all the signatures were still in his name, so he felt very uneasy.There will always be people who fall in previous sports, and he does not want to be subject to unwarranted disasters.

"This clean-up work is a unified arrangement in Lingxi Province. The province's principles for the disposal of non-performing assets of cooperative foundations are as follows: cooperative foundations whose assets are greater than liabilities after writing off bad debts actually formed will be merged into rural credit cooperatives as a whole; If the quality is poor, the poor quality assets will be stripped out, and then the local government will inject funds into the rural credit cooperatives, or transfer the effective assets of the rural cooperative foundation and the equivalent share capital to the rural credit cooperatives; Those that are too bad will be liquidated and closed, and the local government will assume all the debts and promise to pay the members in installments with interest.”

Zhao Yongsheng interrupted Su Ming, saying: "Which type is our Qinglin Town Foundation? The quality is poor or the quality is good. We must unify our thinking as soon as possible at the meeting today on how to proceed next." After Zhao Yongsheng finished speaking, Su Ming continued: "My town hasn't conducted an inventory and clean-up, I can't say, but according to my understanding of the Qinglin Town Foundation, after divesting part of the assets, the Qinglin Town Foundation should be able to merge into the Qinglin Town Foundation. credit union." After Su Ming finished conveying the spirit of the meeting, Zhao Yongsheng said: "Leader Wu is invited to make an important speech, everyone is welcome."

Wu Ming said: "Secretary Zhao is serious. There is no important speech. I can only follow the gourd. I will talk about two principles. One is not to cause large-scale mass incidents. It is the responsibility to guard the soil, and the responsibility will eventually be implemented by the party and government in Qinglin Town. A group of people, the second is to organize carefully and complete the rectification work. There is a lot of specific work to clean up and rectify. According to the requirements of the county party committee and the county government, I will live in Qinglin Town, and cooperate with relevant comrades such as the Agricultural Bureau and the Credit Union. The cleanup is done."

Finally, Zhao Yongsheng will assign the task. "Mayor Su presided over the overall clean-up and rectification work. The first step is to find out the assets of the Qinglin Town Foundation. Our goal is to merge the Qinglin Town Foundation into the credit union; the second step is to consider how to collect loans. "Zhong Ruihua assisted Su Ming in the clean-up work, so you put down all your work and enter the foundation to find out the situation. "Hou Weidong, as the leader in charge of comprehensive management, your task is to maintain social order and prevent possible mass incidents. The stability work is entrusted to you, and you have to take full responsibility for things that happen."

Hou Weidong knew that it would be a matter of time before he was transferred out of Qinglin Town, but now that he has not left, he must take responsibility, saying: "I will make a prevention and control plan to maintain social stability." But he said in his heart: "You After shitting, you still want me to be a shit wiper, what is the logic of God!" Since Hou Weidong "jumped the ticket" to become the deputy mayor, he has a flexible mind and a lot of ideas. He has managed the work in an orderly manner, especially the funeral reform work, which is quite appreciated by the county.In Zhao Yongsheng's subconscious mind, Hou Weidong's work is actually very reassuring. Zhao Yongsheng looked at Liu Kun, who was sitting upright, and said, "Secretary Liu, a town meeting will be held this afternoon, and the heads of the township enterprises, the second-level government team and below, the heads of all stations, and especially the police stations must be there. All the staff of the Agricultural Economic Station, as well as the village party secretary, director and clerk, conveyed the spirit of this morning's meeting." After arranging the big and small things, Zhao Yongsheng asked again: "Mayor Su, what else do you have to add?" Su Ming was playing with a pen in his hand, with a serious expression on his face.When he was the deputy mayor, he was in charge of the foundation. At that time, Zhao Yongsheng and Qin Feiyue were fighting for power. His power in charge was very small, and important matters had to be decided by the two main leaders.To put this sentence in another way, Su Ming didn't get much benefit from the foundation's business, so it was considered clean. Because it is clean, it is calm. "At present, the accounts of the foundation have not been cleared, so I can't say much, just a little bit. Mayor Zhong, you have to worry about checking the affairs of the foundation, and you have to cooperate with the inventory team sent by the county. Report to Secretary Zhao in time. This matter will be responsible to tens of thousands of depositors in Shangqinglin, so you must be cautious." These words made Zhao Yongsheng feel very harsh, and thought: "What is a major matter, why should you report to me immediately, this Su Ming clearly has something in his words!" As soon as the news of rectifying the Foundation came out, it immediately caused great panic.In front of the gate of the Qinglin Town Foundation, men and women, old and young, all held the certificates of deposit issued by the foundation and demanded that the certificates of deposit in their hands be turned into cash.But after the county government issued a notice, the foundation was left with a few bitter faces guarding the front, and naturally there was no money in it. Hou Weidong accepted the task of maintaining law and order. Although he knew it was hard work, he couldn't shirk his responsibility.He led Fu Jiang from the comprehensive management office, Zhou Qiang from the police station, and others. The task in the crowd was to maintain order and prevent the crowd from going too far. Zhong Ruihua was the deputy mayor in charge, and he and Bai Chuncheng also stood in the store, arguing with more than a dozen resident representatives.He originally explained patiently, but in the face of growing doubts, he unknowingly changed the explanation into arguing.But the foundation couldn't afford the money, and he couldn't convince the crowd even if he was a genius debater. What's more, his articulateness was so-so, but he was scolded very quickly, and his face was covered in sweat. On the contrary, Zhou Jing, the young secretary of the Youth League Committee, was sharp-tongued and used his quarrel skills to get mixed up with the masses and not fall behind. "This is our hard-earned money. Return my hard-earned money. The government must be honest and not cheat people out of their money." An emaciated teacher waved the certificate of deposit in his hand emotionally.He has taught ideological and political courses on the podium for a long time, read newspapers more than others, and knows a thing or two about the country's major policies.Driven by him, the crowd began to clamor. The voices of the crowd were very neat, so Zhou Jing had to shut up. Hou Weidong could only stand aside and stare. He also secretly sympathized with these depositors, thinking: "If you can't get out the hard-earned money, what does it matter if you yell twice? As long as you don't smash, loot and burn, it has nothing to do with me." Emotions can affect each other. With the roar, the crowd demonstrating at the gate of the foundation became more and more noisy, and some people threw things in their hands towards the foundation.Bai Chuncheng's previously neat hair has begun to be disheveled, and his face is covered with sweat.He ran to Hou Weidong and said anxiously: "These people are going to besiege the town government. That teacher danced the most fiercely. He said he would go to Yiyang County to appeal. If he couldn't get the money, he would go to Shazhou, Ling West, even the State Department went to petition." Hou Weidong watched the crowd gradually move towards the government, and said: "These people can't get money, they must be making trouble. We can only maintain order temporarily, and we have to rely on money to solve the problem." With a bitter face, Bai Chuncheng ran to Zhong Ruihua's side again. Zhou Qiang, a policeman from the police station, held the attitude of having nothing to do with himself, stood beside Hou Weidong with his hands clasped, and said, "Those assholes from the foundation didn't expect to be here today. I asked them for a loan last year, and it's not bad. , Now it’s retribution, this time the investigation of the foundation will definitely have someone going into the classroom.” Seeing that the crowd had turned to the town government, Hou Weidong said to Fang Jiang and Zhou Qiang, "We can't let these people go upstairs and block the stairs. We can only let them elect representatives to the big conference room on the bottom floor." The foundation was less than 100 meters away from the government. Hou Weidong took Fu Jiang, Zhou Qiang, and the staff of the party and government office, and quickly ran from the foundation to the town government compound, standing in a row, blocking the stairs. Countless certificates of deposit reached Hou Weidong's nose, countless saliva flew on his face, and the noise was like galloping horses, turning the government compound into a vegetable market, which was very lively. The skinny teacher Xin Min stood at the front and said, "We want to see Zhao Yongsheng and Su Ming, and ask them to explain to us, and the town government will stamp the letter of commitment." He raised his arms and shouted, and the crowd responded. Hou Weidong said: "Mr. Xin, you can choose a few representatives to come in. You can't solve any problems by shouting." Xin Min said in a high voice, "It's not that we want to make trouble. I have been teaching and educating people for more than 20 years, and I have saved more than 20,000 yuan by saving money. This is our hard-earned money. I don't want interest. Give me back the gold." "This is not a matter of the Qinglin Town family. The provincial government has uniformly arranged the clean-up and rectification work. I hope you can understand." Xin Min countered: "I also hope you can understand me, a poor teacher." Hou Weidong knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he said, "Mr. Xin, you can find some representatives to go to the bottom floor, and making a fuss like this won't solve any problems." Xin Mindao: "We can choose representatives, but Secretary Zhao must come to talk in person." The town government compound was full of commotion, and the pressure in front of the foundation was relieved.Zhong Ruihua and Bai Chuncheng hurried back to the store to drink water and rest.Their buttocks were not hot, Zhao Yongsheng called and said, "Zhong Zhen and Station Master Bai came to the government together, and explained to the masses in the conference room on the ground floor." The representatives entered the conference room on the ground floor, and the crowd gathered in twos and threes in the government compound, waiting for the final news. It is a high-level decision to rectify the foundation. Where does Qinglin Township have the power to make a decision? The representatives were invited to the meeting room, and the documents from Shazhou City and Yiyang County were just read out.Zhao Yongsheng repeatedly assured: "The settlement team will check the accounts of the foundation, and then gradually start to pay. You have to trust the government, the government will never lie to you." Xin Min interjected, "The county magistrate Ma Youcai just made a speech and repeatedly assured that the foundation belongs to the government. Why did it close the foundation after more than ten days? The current government cannot be trusted." Zhao Yongsheng's face darkened, and he said: "Xin Min, you are a national teacher, why do you take the lead in making trouble? You have no awareness at all! How can you teach students with your behavior?" He secretly said: "When the situation subsides, we must put this Xin The poll goes to the most remote villages." Under Zhao Yongsheng's majestic gaze, Xin Min felt a little guilty, but when he thought that the 20,000 yuan had become waste paper, he became angry again and made a scene in the conference room. The representatives left the conference room on the ground floor. The answers they brought out obviously did not satisfy the masses, and they started to make trouble again.Zhao Yongsheng returned to the office, called the police station, and said, "Qin Suo, you'd better come here in person. If something happens to the government, it's hard for you to explain it." Because of the urgency of the matter, Zhao Yongsheng didn't smile when he spoke. serious. Qin Gang didn't take the matter of the foundation seriously, because his family had tens of thousands of dollars in the foundation.He dawdled for a while, and when Zhao Yongsheng called the second time, he brought Wang Yibing and Lao Huang to the government compound. The confrontation between the two sides lasted until 5 pm, and the crowd gradually dispersed. However, there were also a few persistent people who firmly guarded the government compound. After night fell, these stubborn cashiers had to leave the compound. They invited each other to come to the government tomorrow to "work". In the evening, Zhao Yongsheng called another meeting. He lost his temper at the meeting: "Anyone who is paid for food will go to make trouble tomorrow. The leaders of all units will come to me and explain clearly. If they don't understand clearly, they will all be suspended." The principal of Yiyang Middle School was scolded. He has more than 30,000 in the foundation, and his wife cried all night in the house. He is already in great pain.At this time, Zhao Yongsheng pointed at the tip of his nose and scolded him. He was angry and anxious, and suddenly had a stroke at night. Fortunately, the doctor on duty in the health center was still there, so there was no major trouble. On the second day, quite a few people gathered at the gate of the foundation and outside the government compound.Seeing Hou Weidong approaching, people who knew him greeted him and said, "Hou Zhen, when will the town's money be cashed?" Hou Weidong persuaded: "Trust the government, and you will definitely not suffer. The county has not yet come up with a specific plan. Wait patiently at home. It is meaningless to hang around here." Hou Weidong was soon surrounded by the crowd, and he asked the government to pay back the money at first, and some people became emotional and began to curse.There were ordinary people from Shangqinglin in the crowd, and they began to speak up for Hou Weidong: "Mayor Hou has never been in charge of the foundation, so please stop swearing at others." After all, there was no fight, everyone stayed in the government compound for a long time, and when it was time to eat, many people just had a meal outside.Although the affairs of the foundation made people feel angry and uneasy, there was always food to eat. The small restaurant business in Qinglin Town is extremely booming, but unexpectedly made a small fortune. The Yao Dou Hua restaurant was full, most of them gathered in the government compound in the morning.When Hou Weidong, Yan Lili, Zhou Jing and others came in, some people squinted at them, and many people from Shangqinglin greeted them warmly. After Hou Weidong, Yan Lili and others sat down, he greeted several people in Shangqinglin: "Dasha, Erwa, I haven't seen you for a long time." Dasha is a villager in Wangri Village. He used to work in the Fen Gang Quarry. Later, he felt that the distance was too far, so he went to work in the Zeng Xiangang Quarry.He looks quite thick, and his face is like a big fool in a Hong Kong movie, so people in Shangqinglin call him a big fool.Most of the money he earned in the quarry in the past two years has been stored in the foundation. After the Shangqinglin Town Foundation closed, he guarded the Qinglin Town Government. Hearing Hou Weidong's greeting, he, Erwa and others came to Hou Weidong's table with bowls.After a while, the white bean curd, the golden yellow steamed pork, and the reddish white roasted white came up, and the female boss cut some braised pork outside. Hou Weidong shouted: "Take two bottles of Yiyanghong." Opening the bottle, he filled a row of thick porcelain bowls. Zhou Jing looked at the rough porcelain bowl in front of her, her eyes widened, and she said, "Hou Zhen, I don't drink alcohol. If I drink a little, I will be allergic." There are many reasons why women don't drink alcohol, one of which is allergies.It's not clear about allergies, so it's a good reason. Hou Weidong drinks a lot, but he never persuades women to drink.He brought the rough porcelain bowl over and said, "Dasha, drink an extra bowl." He also praised Zhou Jing by the way, "Zhou Jing is very eloquent, and she is very elegant at the gate of the foundation today." Dasha took a big gulp of Yiyanghong, and his face turned red like Guan Gong.He said to Hou Weidong: "Crazy brother, I believe what you say, tell me, can I get the money from the foundation?" This matter is not easy to answer, Hou Weidong said sincerely: "The county government has no specific policy on this matter, so I can't talk nonsense. It's just that according to my analysis, the foundation involves thousands of ordinary people. As long as there are deposit certificates, the money will sooner or later I can get it, but it will take a while." Dasha had always admired Hou Weidong. Hearing this, he felt a lot more relaxed. Holding a thick bowl, he began to toast the town officials. Hou Weidong said to Erwa: "After dinner, you guys go back to the mountain. In this situation, it doesn't make much sense to surround the gate of the town government. To work in the quarry for a day, there are more than 30 yuan. It’s real. The village cadres will know about the following things.” At this time, several unknown villagers gathered around and asked about the foundation.Hou Weidong still told the original words, he didn't have much prestige in Xiaqinglin, the same words, Dasha and others believed them in their hearts, but these unfamiliar people always felt that they were perfunctory. After the group of villagers left with hope or disappointment, Hou Weidong took a few mouthfuls of food seriously. After eating, Yan Daoli followed Hou Weidong to the town government compound.The crowd in the yard gradually increased, and the people from the Comprehensive Management Office were still standing at the door. Seeing that the people from the Party and Government Office had returned, they changed shifts and went out for dinner.After more than a day of explanations and confrontation, the antagonism between the cadres and the villagers is not as strong as it was at first.Fu Jiang moved a stool and sat at the door, chatting with the villagers sitting beside him. Yan Lili pulled Hou Weidong to the office and said, "The bridge in Hongba Village is about to be repaired." Hou Weidong nodded and said, "I know about this. Do you have other things to ask me for? We had an agreement before. I only need to repair the bridge, and don't bother me with the messy things in the village." Yan Lili's expression was a little embarrassing, and he said: "The bridge has been repaired, but the road can't be repaired." Looking at Hou Weidong's puzzled expression, he said, "The road on the other side of the river was supposed to raise funds, and most of the villagers agreed. But the foundation collapsed, and the villagers began to argue, including some presidents, who said they would use the foundation's certificate of deposit as collateral. Road construction is a major event, can the government give special consideration to cashing in part of it?" Hou Weidong said: "You are a village cadre, and I won't lie to you. In this critical period, it is impossible to make large-scale payments." Yan Lili rolled his eyes slightly, took a stack of deposit receipts from his arms, and said: "These are the deposit receipts I received. They want to use these deposit receipts to offset the fundraising for road construction, agricultural tax, and withdrawal. Most of them have deposit receipts. All the villagers have let go of the word that this year they will use this certificate of deposit to offset various payments. You are the leader of Hongba Village, and you can handle it according to your discretion. "Deposit certificates are also money. I think we can consider using deposit certificates to offset agricultural taxes. The money of ordinary people is hard-earned money. Every penny is dug out of the soil and saved from mouth. Some are for children to study, Some are for old age and disease prevention, some are for marrying a wife, just paste a piece of paper on the wall, and the money will be gone. Not to mention ordinary people, even the village cadres can’t figure it out.” Not acting, but visceral anger. Hou Weidong knew how to deal with Yan Dao, and he said calmly, "What Secretary Yan said is true, but I have never managed the foundation, and I am not clear about the past and I am not responsible for the past. Now that the county's policy has not come out, what can I do?" any idea?" Yan Lili changed his expression again, and said affectionately: "Let's discuss a business. Here is a certificate of deposit worth more than 40,000 yuan. I will sell it to you, and the interest will count as your profit." In the past, in order to attract savings, the interest of the foundation was much higher than that of the bank in the same period.Hou Weidong turned the pages and said, "Secretary Yan, you are very cunning, you are passing on the risk." Yan Lili laughed and said: "Just now Hou Zhen said that the foundation involves tens of thousands of ordinary people. As long as there is a deposit certificate, the money will be refunded sooner or later. I agree with this. Hou Zhen bought the deposit certificate and there is no risk at all. , This is a business that is sure to make money. You make money and help the village solve practical problems.” "Tch, even if the government has to pay deposits in the future, do you think the interest rate will still be so high? If you take inflation into account, it's good if I don't lose money. What's the point of making money?" After listening to Hou Weidong's truth, Yan Lili said, "I'll make a bold decision. I will give you a 10% discount on each certificate of deposit, so that you can make a profit." Hou Weidong took the deposit receipts and read them again. Most of these deposit certificates were small deposit certificates, most of which were only two or three thousand. Hou Weidong knew the names of several people, and they were all thorns in the village. After reading the certificate of deposit, Hou Weidong didn't talk about the money, but brought up the old topic again, saying: "Secretary Yan, last time you told me that the Hongba Bridge was built, and I don't have to worry about the affairs of the village. Now that the bridge has been repaired, what happened? coming?" Yan Lili scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "If the foundation hadn't been rectified suddenly, I definitely wouldn't let you worry about the agricultural tax and the coordination of withdrawal and retention. This time is special." The Tiaoshichang in Hongba Village just settled a sum of money, more than 50,000 yuan.Hou Weidong thought in his heart: "This money is easy to come by. It is a good thing to take it from Hongba Village and use it in Hongba Village." Also to whet his appetite. "More than 40,000 yuan is a huge amount. I can't make the decision by myself. I have to go back and ask the head of the house." Yan Lili could understand the words in his words, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart, saying: "My brother and sister are from a big place, they will definitely agree, I am waiting for your good news." "Others say that Secretary Yan is a dog's dick with vegetable oil - treacherous and slippery. I didn't believe it before, but now I finally understand. How about it, I will give you an accurate answer tomorrow." Yan Lili heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard Hou Weidong speak vulgar words, and said, "Everyone in Shangqinglin says you are a lunatic, let me correct you, you are a good lunatic. After this matter is settled, Hong Don't worry about the matter of Ba Village, I will never make trouble for you." The two chatted casually in the office, and Yan Daoli went out happily. Standing in the office, Hou Weidong looked at the situation below, only to see one or two women standing in front of Yan Daoli after he left the door and said a few words.After Yan Lili walked for a while, more than 20 people left the compound one after another. Although Hou Weidong couldn't recognize the names of a few of them, he knew they were from Hongba Village. "Damn it, this Yan Dao is playing hard and soft." Hou Weidong cursed with a smile.Through this incident, his favor for Yan Dali suddenly rose. No matter what his method was, at least he was still sincerely doing practical things for the people in the village.
