Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 859: Troubled Chen Hua

One afternoon in late May, in Zhongzhou City, Zhongjiang Province, the weather was cloudy with light rain.

Chen Hua, Party Secretary and Director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department of Zhongjiang Province, was sitting in the main seat in the conference room on the third floor of Building No. 2 of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department, checking from time to time to see if his subordinates had arrived.

Some leaders have strong control over their subordinates. Their subordinates will definitely arrive at the meeting room before them, and no one dares to offend them, such as Qi Tongwei. This is based on the leader's skills, ability, background, prestige and other factors.

But there are also leaders whom their subordinates do not respect or even dislike. There are various reasons for this, such as being unfair in their work, being selfish, only paying attention to superiors and not to the facts, fawning on superiors and bullying subordinates, or having average ability and skills in doing things, so capable subordinates will naturally look down on them.

There is another very important reason, that is, if the leader is not clean and his subordinates find out, the boss's mystery will naturally disappear. Even if he wants to scold or punish his subordinates, they will just twist their lips and roll their eyes.

"Director, just take care of yourself and your own business projects. Why are you giving me orders? At worst, we can just break up. I don't want a future like this anymore.

I will report you to the Discipline Inspection Commission every day."

Once these words were spoken, the leader could no longer back down and could only appease his subordinates, and Chen Hua was one of them.

Your subordinates can tell at a glance that you are not clean, and they will just treat what you say as nonsense.

Honesty leads to clarity, and integrity leads to authority. This is the experience summed up over thousands of years in the officialdom.

If any subordinate dares to challenge Qi Tongwei, he will be slapped in the face in minutes. This is the confidence that Qi Tongwei has because of his clean background. Before appointing him as the deputy secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the management repeatedly checked Qi Tongwei several times, and his entire work experience was reviewed.

Otherwise, if the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission is caught investigating others, the central government will be embarrassed.

Chen Hua, however, is a negative example. It can be seen from this meeting that he, as the top department director, has arrived a long time ago, but the deputies are still hesitating. It is obvious that they look down on him. It is because he has a dirty bottom, and people can see it at a glance.

Chen Hua was feeling a little upset at this time. He took office as the director two years ago, and then used his power to prepare a plan to get rich. The specific operation was that he first helped a real estate developer to acquire hundreds of acres of farmland at a low price, which was 30,000 yuan per acre.

Then he made some operations and the land use nature of the farmland was changed to residential and commercial land. The normal land transfer fee was one million yuan per acre. He then developed real estate projects, shopping mall complexes and other profitable projects.

The regulations state that developers must have sufficient capital of their own before they can obtain loans for development, but this developer certainly does not have that, as it is a shell company run by Chen Hua’s younger brother, and even the several million yuan used to acquire the land was a private loan from the entrepreneur.

Then Chen Hua forced other entrepreneurs to guarantee the loan and raised the so-called own funds. Then Chen Hua found an old classmate in the bank and loaned money to his brother's shell company again, using the residential and commercial land in his hands as collateral.

Then he found a construction company that was willing to advance the money to lay the foundation. Chen Hua also went to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department to approve various clauses for the vacant land where the foundation had just been laid.

At this point, the vacant land has been beautifully planned, a beautiful sales office has been built, and houses have started to be sold. After a series of house-selling routines, most of the houses have now been sold.

At this point, Chen Hua's family was very happy because they had made a fortune and could then slowly build a house. Anyway, they were selling pre-sale houses, which would be sold in 2011 and delivered in 2014. Although a lot of workers who wanted to buy houses came to take a look at the vacant land from time to time, it did not affect their mood.

The biggest problem is that a few months ago, Chen Hua’s brother suddenly revealed that he had lost more than 100 million yuan overseas, and the casino came to Zhongzhou to collect the debt.

Now they can only take money from the company account to pay off the debt, but after deducting their profits, the amount left for the builder will be a little short.

What should I do?

Chen Hua was rubbing his temples, thinking about how to appease the construction contractors, because they had also received news that the general manager of the developer had lost more than 100 million yuan overseas, and they were panicking that they could not pay.

At this time, Chen Hua's deputy, Deputy Director Xin Hui, came over. He was an expert and had also received the news. He was planning to give the leader some advice and help solve the problem.

“Boss, I heard about that.

The contractor was heard making a scene.”

Chen Hua didn't open his eyes, but was still squeezing and pressing the Jingming acupoint and doing eye exercises.

"Yeah, how did you know?"

Xin would smile flatteringly.

"Boss, I have a friend who works for that state-owned construction company, and he told me."

This even made Chen Hua even more angry. If it wasn't a state-owned construction company, would he, Chen Hua, care?

Individual contractors dared to come and question whether they could get paid, which meant they didn't want to contract any projects in Zhongjiang Province.

Chen Hua didn't say anything and started rubbing his temples.

Xin Hui obviously didn't want to make his boss angry, so he didn't keep the secret.

"Boss, I have a plan that can solve the contractor's problem without having to pay any extra money."

Chen Hua's development project seems to be quite big and profitable, but he is making money out of nothing. He obtained all the funds for the projects by relying on his power, coercion and inducement. This money also has a cost.

It has to be distributed to the bank's internal staff and interest has to be given to personal friends. Money is not that easy to handle.

It was calculated that after deducting these extra costs, there would still be several hundred million in profit, so the family divided the money early on and only kept the money for the builder.

How could he not be angry when his useless brother embezzled the money? If he really couldn't get the money, the state-owned construction company would not let it go, as they had powerful backgrounds.

Chen Hua was worrying about how to take out the money from his share to pay the builder, but the money was already in his pocket. His son had bought a luxury house and a luxury car abroad, so it was not easy to get it back.

"Oh? Tell me."

"Boss, I looked at your building plan, and the floor area ratio is not high.

There is still room to maneuver.”

This woke Chen Hua up and he realized immediately that the house had only been built to the foundation and it would be fine if a few floors were added. He could even reduce the greening and add one or two buildings. There would be no problem at all.

There is no need to add projects or re-tender. All you need to do is let those workers squeeze in a little bit. What's the problem with that? What's the point of having so much green space? It only attracts mosquitoes. It would be more lively if more people lived there.
