Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 792 Elegant Bribery

After reading the report, Qi Tongwei could only pull out a Hero brand pen from the pen holder, sign his name on the form in a flamboyant manner, and add a few words: Please allocate funds quickly.

Li Hainiao put away the application report with satisfaction and started talking about the food system case again.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, I personally think that we must first decisively arrest the senior officials of the Grain Bureau and bring them in for questioning one by one, and then issue an order to have the provincial discipline inspection commissions across the country launch a province-wide special grain rectification campaign.

The tasks can be broken down into each prefecture-level city, which has several advantages.

The most obvious thing is that the local party committee and government will bear the case handling costs, and we can also apply for special funds from the State Council based on our own approximate cost estimates.

If a province is active in handling the case, we will give it a reward of several million yuan.”

Qi Tongwei was amused by him. He was obviously a cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission and even held a high position as the director, but all he talked about was money, just like a businessman.

"You kid, why do you speak so money-mindedly? If you don't wear this work badge, people will think you work in the Finance Bureau."

Li Hainiao actually answered this question.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, to be honest, when I was young, I worked in the Finance Bureau. Later, I went to the Audit Office, but because of my outstanding performance in coordinating cases, I was transferred to the Discipline Inspection Commission."

“Hahahaha, that’s really a good thing.

Then, I will show you a place where you can make money, and you can ask your supervisory office to send a team there."

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei pulled out a piece of paper from the table, on which was written the name of a calligraphy and painting shop near the East Fourth Ring Road.

Comrades who have bribed in the capital know that what people accept over there are elegant bribes. What are elegant bribes? They include calligraphy and painting, antiques, and even rare stones.

Some of the antique calligraphy and paintings are genuine and valuable. After the officials received them, they could reduce the trouble of storing cash. When they wanted to flee, they could just roll up the calligraphy and paintings, take two chicken-glazed cups, and go abroad directly.

Some antique paintings and calligraphy are used purely as financial tools. People just take a piece of scrap paper, put their own marks on it, and then put it in an antique shop, asking bribers to come and buy it with a large sum of money.

After receiving the money, the antique shop will pay taxes as usual and then transfer the money to an account designated by officials, either domestically or abroad, and in cash.

These antique shop owners who engage in erotic bribery are generally brokers in the capital. In the capital, there are more brokers than normal business people, and there are also many scammers. Some provincial and ministerial leaders have been deceived by these scammers.

Brokers can do anything. For example, if you are the deputy mayor of Guangming District, Jingzhou City, and you want to develop a project in Guangming District, and then go to ministries and commissions to negotiate policies and subsidies, you are definitely unfamiliar with the place, so this is when you can use a broker.

The brokers will set up a table of private dishes in those high-end courtyard houses and specially invite officials from the ministries and commissions in charge. The expenses will have to be borne by you, the deputy district mayor who wants to be promoted, but you can charge it to the operating expenses of the Beijing Office.

If a bribe is needed, then go to the broker's antique shop and spend the money.

In short, there are many things that reliable brokers can do. Whether you want to be an official in Beijing, or go to wealthy provinces, or get promoted where you are, as long as the money is in place, they can find a way.

But reliable brokers are a minority, and there are more political scammers of various kinds.

When Li Hainiao saw the address on the note, he understood it instantly.

“Leader, is this where they receive gifts from the food system?”

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"It also came from reports from the public. The public reported that they went to buy designated antiques and paintings, but they were actually worthless, but the deal was not done and the money was not returned."

This is the point where bribery and corruption are most likely to cause conflicts. It is natural to take money to do things, but there are always some people who do things in an unethical way. If things cannot be done, the fees should be returned to others, and they will not say anything. However, when things fail to be done, they still shamelessly take all the money and act like scoundrels.

This will easily lead the briber to turn against you and report the bribe. Comrades, if you have the opportunity to become a department director, you must remember to return the money if you cannot get the job done.

After seeing Li Hainiao off, Qi Tongwei took out the letter of complaint from his pocket and threw it into the drawer. The purpose of this letter was to remind Hu Haiou and give him face. If any problems occurred in his department again during the investigation, Qi Tongwei would send him to the CPPCC for retirement without hesitation.

As a senior cadre, Qi Tongwei's responsibilities are very different from those of the lower-level cadres. To handle a case, he only needs to issue instructions and specify which supervisory office will handle it. The supervisory office will designate a person in charge, and there will be clear procedures for how to handle it and what the process is.

Qi Tongwei's duties as deputy secretary are to assist the top leader in presiding over all work, such as participating in the formulation of anti-corruption policies, intra-party supervision systems and major case handling decisions at the Standing Committee and plenary meetings of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Qi Tongwei also has specific division of labor. The departments he is in charge of include the Second and Third Supervision Offices. These two supervision offices are mainly responsible for supervising ministries and large state-owned enterprises. If there is a case to be handled, Qi Tongwei can designate two departments to work together, just like what happened just now.

Then Qi Tongwei's specific division of labor includes internal supervision and special supervision (such as special operations such as cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil), as well as the common responsibilities of all senior cadres of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, which is to supervise all party organizations on behalf of the center. Let's put it this way, Qi Tongwei can shout and take decisive action when he sees injustice on the road within the country. If any village committee does things unfairly, Qi Tongwei can also take care of it. If any Handong Provincial Party Committee does things unfairly, Qi Tongwei can also take action, even if he is not in charge of supervision.

At this time, Qi Tongwei was notified to attend the secretary's office meeting. Qi Tongwei tidied his hair obediently and put on a handsome executive jacket, which his wife bought in Wangfujing a few days ago. It was a little expensive, more than 8,000 yuan. Qi Tongwei felt that he might have been ripped off. The rent in Wangfujing is expensive, and things are expensive too.

"What a handsome guy, let's have a meeting."

Qi Tongwei grabbed his bag and walked out of the office. As soon as he went out, he handed the briefcase to Lu Qiang and headed to the meeting room in a casual manner.

Both leaders had arrived, and several other deputies, except those who were on business trips in other provinces, had also arrived. When Qi Tongwei saw them, he didn't say hello too much, just smiled and nodded.

This department has special responsibilities, and the deputies within it do not need to be as harmonious with each other as in local departments. On the contrary, if the deputies have too good a relationship, leaders will become uneasy. What are you doing? Are you planning to collude privately?

To be able to reach this position is the result of careful selection. Qi Tongwei alone has heard from the boss that there were eleven candidates for the position under him, including Sha Ruijin, the current deputy secretary of Handong Province.
