Chapter 3309

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Zhao, their problems are quite serious. Using illegal means to manipulate the real estate market, illegally profiting over 100 million, and having over 10,000 victims has caused considerable social influence. If they are not severely punished, it is not enough to reverse such a bad social influence."

Zhao Yichen frowned and said, "Is it really that serious?"

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Zhao, the real situation will only be more serious than what I said. If we don't punish them, they may do worse things in the future, and things may develop in an uncontrollable direction."

Zhao Yichen didn't think that these real estate development companies would do anything bad. In his view, housing prices rising by a few hundred yuan per square meter was not a big deal. Didn't this increase the city's GDP?

Zhao Yichen said, "Let's do this. If they do have illegal operations, let them return the illegal profits, and then strictly supervise them in the future so that they don't have illegal operations. Just punish the others symbolically, okay?"

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Zhao, I know you are also doing this for my own good. However, this matter is really too serious to be unpunished. Let's do this. You push the responsibility to me and say that you have already told me, but I don't listen to you, and I am acting arbitrarily."

Seeing Su Xinghui's attitude was very firm, Zhao Yichen was helpless. He certainly didn't want to make the relationship with Su Xinghui bad. This might still be a way.

Although it sounded a bit shameful for a municipal party secretary and a member of the provincial party committee to say that a deputy mayor didn't listen to him, Su Xinghui was not an ordinary deputy mayor. If he were an ordinary deputy mayor, why would those provincial leaders find him, Zhao Yichen? They didn't talk to Su Xinghui directly? They were just afraid to talk to Su Xinghui, so they entrusted Zhao Yichen's favor.

Besides, Zhao Yichen himself was now a member of the provincial party committee, and his status was not more than those provincial leaders, and he didn't necessarily have to sell their face. Moreover, Zhao Yichen himself had no interest relationship with these real estate development companies, so why get involved too deeply in this matter?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yichen said, "There is no need for this. I will tell them that the behavior of these real estate development companies is too bad and has aroused public anger, so it is not easy to let them go easily."

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Zhao, thank you for your understanding!"

Coming out of Zhao Yichen's office and returning to his office, Su Xinghui pondered. It seems that the forces behind those real estate development companies couldn't sit still. Zhao Yichen was just a beginning. Presumably, there would be people pleading for mercy later.

But this was also normal. This punishment was not a small matter and was enough to cause heavy losses to these companies' projects in Baozhou City. Not everyone was willing to bear such losses.

The nature of these people was greedy, and their nature was to seek profit. Otherwise, why would they take risks and operate in violation of regulations to drive up housing prices? The greedier the person, the stingier they were. They were unwilling to bear such losses for a penny.

If they had a choice, they would rather give this money to the leaders than hand it over to the government. Giving it to the leaders at least gained a favor. What was the benefit of handing it over to the government?

Therefore, Zhao Yichen finding him today, Su Xinghui was not surprised. It would be strange if those people didn't find someone to plead for mercy. However, Su Xinghui had made up his mind. This time, no matter who wanted to find him to plead for mercy, he would not give face. He must curb the housing prices.

Su Xinghui called Liu Zhaoyun and asked him to come to his office. Liu Zhaoyun didn't dare to neglect and soon came to Su Xinghui's office.

Su Xinghui asked with a straight face: "Comrade Liu Zhaoyun, I asked you to conduct an in-depth investigation into the abnormal fluctuations in housing prices. What is the result now?"

Liu Zhaoyun knew that the bosses of those real estate development companies had all returned to the parent company to bring reinforcements, but he didn't know how the situation had progressed. Hearing Su Xinghui ask about this, he secretly complained in his heart, but he still had to answer.

"Mayor Su, I asked people to investigate again. The situation reflected in the investigation report you gave me is basically true."

Su Xinghui said, "Since it is true, when are you going to punish them?"

Liu Zhaoyun said, "Didn't you go down to the county these few days? I thought I would report the investigation results to you after you came back. After you approved it, we would prepare to issue a fine."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Okay, then you go and draft the specific punishment clauses. You must punish according to the law, and be fast, to warn others!"

Liu Zhaoyun certainly couldn't withstand the huge pressure Su Xinghui gave him. He nodded repeatedly and went out submissively. After going out, he immediately called Boss Pan again and told him about this matter. He said: "You have to speed up your actions, otherwise, my fine will have to be issued."

Boss Pan immediately fed back this matter to Jin Fuqiang, and Jin Fuqiang's information was naturally fed back to Tang Wenyu immediately.

At the same time, in several places across the country, there were people worrying about this matter.

That night, in a city in the west of the lake, in the home of Standing Deputy Mayor Tian Xiaopeng, his younger brother Tian Xiaotao and the general manager of Daye Real Estate Development Company, Cui Wenbin, sat opposite him. The atmosphere at the scene was a bit dull. Tian Xiaopeng's brows were tightly locked, Tian Xiaotao's face was full of anger, and only Cui Wenbin's face was as usual. He picked up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

Suddenly, Tian Xiaotao slapped the coffee table in front of him heavily and said: "This Su Xinghui, who does he think he is? He says punish, so he punishes?"

Cui Wenbin put down the teacup, spread his hands and said: "Sorry, Xiaotao, it is true that he can punish if he says so."

Tian Xiaotao said: "Brother Cui, I said at the beginning not to go to his place to develop real estate, but you didn't listen. Now it has become like this. What do you say we should do?"

Tian Xiaopeng said to Tian Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, you are not allowed to speak like this."

Tian Xiaotao was speechless. He really had nothing to say. Since Cui Wenbin served as the general manager of Daye Real Estate Development Company in the past few years, he had made countless decisions, and there were almost no wrong decisions. Daye Real Estate Development Company continued to grow and develop in his hands.

Thinking back then, Tian Xiaotao only had a pitiful few million in funds, but now Daye Real Estate Development Company was already a big company with a market value of over one billion. Cui Wenbin's management ability and capital operation ability were amazing.

Although this was related to Tian Xiaopeng's power, Cui Wenbin's ability was decisive. Although Tian Xiaotao was ignorant, he could see this. Therefore, he had always respected Cui Wenbin. Tian Xiaopeng said a word to him, and he stopped talking immediately.

Tian Xiaotao picked up the teacup angrily and took a sip, but the water in the teacup was still a bit hot. He was scalded, which almost made him drop the teacup, but he immediately remembered that this was in Tian Xiaopeng's house, so he endured his temper and slammed the teacup on the coffee table heavily.

They certainly also received feedback from the person in charge of the Baozhou branch, saying that the Baozhou Municipal Government was about to issue a huge fine to their company, and the loss might reach tens of millions.

Such a huge loss made Tian Xiaotao feel distressed. Although he now had a net worth of hundreds of millions, the loss of tens of millions still made him feel unbearable. Tian Xiaopeng was also a bit surprised to hear this huge number.
