Chapter 739: The Attack of Yi Xuexue
As soon as the new mayor of Luzhou, Yi Xuexue, took office, he had a conflict with Li Dakang, the secretary of the municipal party committee and also a member of the provincial standing committee. He refused to give in at all, which was nothing like an ordinary top leader who was half a level higher than him and who would suppress other deputies. The reason was very simple. Yi Xuexue completely overturned Li Dakang's urban planning for the renovation of many old urban areas in Luzhou City, and there was another point, a real estate project by Crescent Lake.
At this moment they are arguing with each other at the secretary's office meeting.
"Secretary Li, our Luzhou City is a famous garden city. Relying on these gardens and Crescent Lake for transformation and protecting the ecological environment is the right choice.
Forcibly developing such a villa project next to Crescent Lake, and also building such a food city, will cause a lot of pollution to Crescent Lake. "
Yi Xuexi seemed very tough, but surprisingly, Li Dakang didn't want to face him. At this time, Li Dakang seemed to lack momentum.
On the one hand, he suffered a serious setback because of the Luzhou Cross-sea Bridge incident. Although he promptly joined the new provincial governor Liu Dexu and kept his current position, he was also severely criticized by his superiors, including for his family affairs. His wife Ouyang Jing was also stripped of her identity as the credit director of Jingzhou City Bank. Now she is just an ordinary credit manager in a subordinate branch. Such managers earn at least 800 in a bank, and the clients they face are just ordinary residents.
In addition, Yi Xuexue has a special identity. Li Dakang always felt guilty towards Yi Xuexue because he took the blame for him and was demoted more than ten years ago. Naturally, he lacked confidence when speaking.
"Mayor Yi, the land transfer fee for the lakeside villa project will directly make up for the city's fiscal deficit. This project has reached the bidding stage."
Li Dakang subconsciously did not dare to say anything too harsh. Yi Xuexi had a very good relationship with Governor Liu, which was something that was well known to all the cadres in the province. If the matter got out of hand, Governor Liu might take sides.
But he still has to fight for it. This project belongs to the Zhao family and their family has invested a lot of money in it. If it is rejected like this, Li Dakang will probably be hated to death by the Zhao family. He has been with the Zhao family for decades. If he lets the Zhao family project go to waste and he, as the top leader, does nothing, how will other cadres look at him in the future? Everyone will say that he is an ungrateful person.
Yi Xuexi still refused to give in. He was ruthless when it came to work.
"The central government has repeatedly warned against building real estate projects in major water source protection areas. Everyone knows how big a fuss the Chang'an Qinling project was.
If we forcefully approve such a project for the rich and powerful, will the result be like the Changan project, where it will be demolished and stripped of its title?
Secretary Li, can you give us this guarantee? "
Yi Xuexue was almost about to bang the table as he pressed closer to Li Dakang.
To give you some background, the commercial real estate part of this villa project, namely Yueya Lake Luzhou Food City, was developed by Zhao Lichun’s two children.
Their operating methods in this life have become much more standardized. They did not build a super-large-scale food city directly facing the Crescent Lake. Instead, they converted most of the area into villa areas. Once completed, they can be converted into private clubs at any time.
Li Dakang was also helpless. One of the conditions for transferring him to Luzhou to take over as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee was to approve this villa complex. The former mayor didn't dare to say a word in front of him, the secretary who was half a level higher than him.
As a result, Liu Dexu transferred Yi Xuexi, who saw at a glance that this powerful project was useless and incompatible with the overall development of Luzhou.
"Then let's put it aside for now and discuss it later."
Li Dakang plans to talk to Yi Xuexue alone later.
Yi Xuexi had made up his mind, because before he came, Liu Dexu listened to Qi Tongwei's advice and insisted on improving the overall environmental protection of Crescent Lake. In addition, the incident of the villa complex in Qinling Mountains in Chang'an had caused a big uproar. The top leaders issued instructions several times and impeached several leaders of Chang'an. Even those who had retired for many years were pulled out and sentenced to several years in prison.
Liu Dexu is convinced that the higher-ups will launch an environmental storm in some key areas. The past policy of prioritizing the economy and putting other things aside has begun to shift.
Another important signal strengthened Liu Dexu's determination.
Yi Xuexi came to Li Dakang's office.
The two are exchanging views.
"Old Yi, what on earth are you thinking?"
Li Dakang still felt a little unsure, not knowing whether Yi Xuexi's opinion was his own or Governor Liu's.
“Li Dakang, we are old acquaintances too.
I'm not lying to you. The authorities are already preparing to issue a document regarding what happened in the neighboring province to the west of Crescent Lake last week.
We need to comprehensively manage Crescent Lake.”
This sentence was like thunder, and Li Dakang stood up immediately.
"How is that possible? The four cities surrounding Crescent Lake have a high degree of industrialization, involving at least thousands of companies. Our city has nearly a thousand companies. Do we have to regulate all the textile companies?"
Another shock that Li Dakang did not express was that Yi Xuexi, a bureau-level cadre, actually received the news before him, a member of the provincial party committee standing committee. It seemed that times had really changed.
"Secretary Li, don't underestimate the central government's determination. The algal bloom incident in the neighboring province directly caused two water quality deteriorations and water supply crises. The higher-ups have already started studying this."
Li Dakang no longer cares about the Zhao family's villa complex project. No matter how powerful the Zhao family is, Zhao Lichun has been transferred away and the situation in Handong Province has changed.
What he is worried about now is whether the overall management of Crescent Lake will cause Luzhou's economy to slow down and affect his future.
Yi Xuexi walked up to Li Dakang and saw that he was still surprised.
"Dakang, we have known each other for so many years, and I have never had any selfish motives about these things, you know that.
The province will issue a document and take major action soon. If we don’t put the emergency brakes on and stop the Zhao family’s powerful projects at this time, we will be making a mistake.
Do you still want to stay on the Zhao family's broken boat forever?"
Li Dakang raised his head and looked at Yi Xuexue's face without saying anything. In fact, he had been convinced. It was just a villa project and he could stop it. However, he had to get enough information in time for the renovation of Crescent Lake.
"Well, you decide on the city government's affairs. I won't interfere too much. I'm going to Jingzhou tomorrow. You take charge of Luzhou's affairs."
The next morning, Liu Dexu received Li Dakang at the provincial government.
“Governor, is the matter of the Crescent Lake governance true?
We have nearly a thousand companies in Luzhou around Yueya Lake. Please give us a clear explanation of what the regulations should be. "
No one has taken environmental protection seriously over the past decade. Although the higher authorities have begun to pay attention to it, not much action has been taken. If nearly a thousand enterprises around Luzhou Crescent Lake are really sacrificed for environmental protection, will it send out a signal?
