Chapter 907: Fabricated a Competitor!

After Guo Yi left.

Xing Zhijun came to the office.

A document was placed before Tang Ye.

"According to your request, I have investigated the source of the coal gangue. It is called Pengyue Energy Group, a fairly large coal enterprise in Yanzhou. However, this enterprise is very far from Jinshan Village. If one considers it from the perspective of saving money, there is absolutely no need to transport coal gangue to Heiniu Village."

Tang Ye said: "Deliberately dumping coal gangue to cause pollution can make No. 32 Plot become worthless."

Xing Zhijun suddenly realized: "In this way, it would be possible to buy this plot of land at a lower price."

Tang Ye said in a deep voice: "I have roughly guessed who the person behind this is."

Xing Zhijun looked surprised: "Who is it?"

Tang Ye said: "Haibin of Jinjun Company. He has always wanted to use information asymmetry to take down No. 32 Plot at a low price."

Xing Zhijun was full of confusion: "What benefit does it have for him if No. 32 Plot is polluted?"

Tang Ye said in a deep voice: "If the Heiniu Mountain Scenic Area can be approved by the province, there will be a large amount of capital and resources invested in this project later on. If he takes down No. 32 Plot at a low cost now, once the scenic area is approved, the rate of return could multiply several times over. As for the so-called pollution, he knows where the cause lies; after getting the land, he can then carry out pollution reduction and treatment, which won't cost much!"

Xing Zhijun suddenly realized: "To seek profit, he actually uses such a sinister trick. That dog Haibin is truly disgusting. What should we do now?"

Tang Ye said: "Keep an eye on Haibin. Wait for the right opportunity."

A flash of sternness crossed Xing Zhijun's eyes.

During the time he had spent with Tang Ye, he had regained his sense of belonging to the police profession:

"Alright, I will arrange for people to investigate Jinjun Company later."

Tang Ye reminded him: "Haibin's identity is not simple; you must pay attention to your methods when investigating him."

Xing Zhijun gave a bitter smile: "The outside world says he is a relative of Provincial Governor Hai..."

Tang Ye nodded slightly: "That's right, he is the nephew of Provincial Governor Hai. What? Are you afraid?"

Xing Zhijun said truthfully: "A little."

Tang Ye patted his shoulder: "I have looked into Provincial Governor Hai; he is a cadre who is strict with himself. He might not necessarily be aware of the things his nephew has done."

Xing Zhijun gritted his back teeth and hardened his heart: "Secretary Tang, I won't drop the ball. We are working for the common people, and we have a clear conscience!"

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that his decision to support Xing Zhijun in serving as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and entering the County Party Committee Standing Committee had indeed not been a misjudgment.

Xing Zhijun was indeed someone who could give him full support at critical moments.

Although there were many petty people in officialdom, Tang Ye was glad that there was no lack of like-minded people around him.

After sending off Xing Zhijun.

Tang Ye received a call from Chen Qing.

"Secretary Tang, there is a matter I would like to discuss with you."

Tang Ye knew what was going on in his heart.

Chen Qing was looking for him, most likely because of No. 32 Plot.

At the previous Standing Committee meeting, he had always clearly opposed the sale of this plot of land.

Actually.

Secretary Ou was still inclined to sell the land.

After all, it was unknown when the planning for the Heiniu Mountain Scenic Area would be approved.

Even if it were approved, it would take several years to build.

Many administrators wanted to see tangible results during their tenure.

Those who truly had the awareness of "the predecessors plant the trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade" were few and far between.

"Alright, I'll wait for you in the office."

A few minutes later, Chen Qing walked into the office with a serious expression.

Tang Ye poured a cup of tea for Chen Qing.

Chen Qing took the teacup; the tea had been steeped in advance, and the leaves were still fully unfurled. A look of helplessness appeared in his eyes: "Secretary Tang, regarding the No. 32 Plot of Heiniu Mountain, there is a situation I must report to you!"

Tang Ye remained calm: "What's wrong? Has some serious problem occurred?"

Chen Qing took out a document and handed it to Tang Ye: "This is the environmental monitoring report sent by the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau today. No. 32 Plot has actually been found to have serious environmental pollution, caused by the local government tacitly allowing an enterprise to dump industrial waste."

Tang Ye feigned ignorance and slammed the desk.

"The leadership team of Jinshan Township is too muddled! Heiniu Mountain is currently at a critical juncture of applying for a provincial-level scenic area. If this news is exposed, I'm afraid it will affect the approval results."

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, then probed, "Haibin has always wanted to invite you to a meal. Although Heiniu Mountain now has the problem of failing the environmental assessment, he is still very interested in No. 32 Plot. If he can take down this plot of land and treat it in time, this storm can be easily resolved."

Tang Ye was silent for a few seconds: "County Magistrate Chen, I always feel that there is a problem here."

Chen Qing looked surprised: "What do you mean?"

Tang Ye analyzed: "Since he knows this land is polluted, why does Jinjun Company still insist on taking it? Is this land that attractive? Or is it that he has already confirmed that the Heiniu Mountain Scenic Area Project will definitely be approved, which is why he is placing such a big bet?"

Chen Qing frowned: "Secretary Tang, your suspicion is not unreasonable, but we have no other choice at the moment."

Tang Ye reminded him: "County Magistrate Chen, the reason for the pollution of No. 32 Plot is more complicated than imagined. I suggest you remain calm and rational and do not get too deeply involved."

Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat: "Thank you for your reminder; I will keep an eye on it."

"In addition, it is not just Jinjun that is interested in No. 32 Plot. The Zhao Group has also expressed sincerity. Although this land is polluted and the environmental assessment report has problems, I believe the Zhao Group will not give up its investment plans because of this."

Tang Ye said sorry to Zhao Hui in his heart.

Zhao Hui had been pushed out by him at this time.

Zhao Hui was indeed interested in the Heiniu Mountain Scenic Area.

However, his target was not No. 32 Plot.

Tang Ye had fabricated a competitor out of thin air for Haibin.

Haibin would definitely feel the pressure.

Once a person is under pressure, it is easy to make mistakes!

……

Chen Qing returned to his office.

Although Tang Ye did not say it explicitly, he had clearly seen that the No. 32 Plot being contaminated by coal gangue was very likely a trap secretly set by Haibin.

Chen Qing's heart was very conflicted at this moment.

Haibin was not someone to be trifled with; getting too close to him could easily bring unpredictable trouble.

However, Haibin's uncle was the Executive Vice Governor.

If he could climb this connection, his official career would have an extra layer of security.

The landline on the desk rang.

Chen Qing answered the phone.

Haibin's voice came from the other end.

"County Magistrate Chen, what about the No. 32 Plot?"

"President Hai, I just communicated with Tang Ye, and he still hasn't budged! Moreover, you now have an additional competitor."

"Oh? Who?" Haibin was quite surprised, not expecting anyone to dare snatch something from him.

"The Zhao Group is very interested in Heiniu Mountain. A few days ago, Tang Ye took Zhao Hui to Heiniu Mountain!" Chen Qing reminded him.

"Hmph, Zhao Hui is nothing. Don't worry, I will make him withdraw obediently!"

Haibin said with a disdainful tone.

There was one more sentence he did not say out loud.

This guy Tang Ye also had no eyes, repeatedly blocking his path.

He had had enough!

He had to show the one surnamed Tang some color!
