Chapter 3317

Within a few days after Su Xinghui returned to Baozhou, he received many phone calls. Many people wanted to ask him to give them some face. Among these people were provincial leaders, as well as his colleagues and leaders from when he was at the Planning Commission. In short, they all felt that they should have some face in front of Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui did indeed give them face; he spoke to them in a gentle and soft manner, with a very good tone. But when it came to substantive issues, he just said one thing: he was punishing these real estate development companies according to the country's relevant regulations.

In the end, these leaders always hung up the phone unhappily. Su Xinghui knew that he had offended quite a few people this time, but no matter how many people he offended, he could not give up halfway this time.

Su Xinghui also roughly understood Cui Wenbin's routine. This routine was deep enough, and Cui Wenbin had thoroughly understood his personality before setting up such a routine. In a sense, this also belonged to an open conspiracy.

Su Xinghui attached even more importance to Cui Wenbin. This person could not be underestimated; he was indeed a very smart person. Moreover, his intelligence was not just some petty cleverness; he also had great wisdom.

If such a person did good, he should be able to become a talent useful to society. Unfortunately, he followed the Tian brothers and acted as a tiger's accomplice, which made Su Xinghui sigh.

Cui Wenbin's routine was indeed deep, but even if Su Xinghui knew it was his routine, he would still do the same. If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui didn't sell face to anyone. He urged Liu Zhaoyun to issue the fine. This time, the fine involved seven or eight well-known domestic real estate development companies, ordering these companies to pay a total of several hundred million in illegal gains and fines.

This huge fine was like a stone causing a thousand ripples, setting off a shocking wave in Baozhou, which then spread layer by layer, leaving countless people stunned.

Su Xinghui actually dared to defy the world and issue the fine? Did he know how many people he would offend by doing this?

However, a few phone calls supporting Su Xinghui also came in. Lu Zhenghong and Ke Zhifang both said he did well, and there was one phone call that Su Xinghui felt a bit surprised by—the call from Premier Nan.

Although Premier Nan had stepped down, he had always been very concerned about Su Xinghui and had always been very concerned about housing prices. Premier Nan understood the greed of those vested interest groups better than anyone. He had always been very worried that after he stepped down, those people would not have his suppression, and housing prices would skyrocket.

His worry was not unreasonable. Now housing prices were indeed rising sharply. And in the midst of this rising sound, Premier Nan heard about Su Xinghui issuing fines to these real estate development companies that were driving up housing prices, which made his spirit lift. He immediately called to express his support for Su Xinghui.

Premier Nan didn't just support Su Xinghui verbally. Although he had stepped down, his status was still extraordinary. Even current leaders sometimes had to consult his opinion. And the old subordinates he had promoted were spread all over the country, which added up to a force that could not be underestimated.

Among these old subordinates, there were naturally those who shared the same political philosophy as Premier Nan. Premier Nan supported Su Xinghui, so they would naturally support Su Xinghui as well. This was a substantive support for Su Xinghui.

The phone call from Premier Nan was not long, just a few sentences. But the encouragement this call gave Su Xinghui was very great, making him even more determined in his resolution.

Once Su Xinghui's fine was issued, major media outlets across the country, including online media, reported it. The stock prices of the companies related to these real estate development companies fell in response, and their projects in Baozhou were also stopped, waiting for them to fulfill the punishment before they could continue construction.

Jin Fuqiang stayed in Baozhou for a few days, jumping up and down, wanting to save the situation, but in the end, he didn't get his wish. When he saw that fine at the Baozhou branch of the Fuqiang Real Estate Development Company, his face turned livid, and he was speechless for a long time.

Even when Wu Weihong saw he was in a bad mood and took the initiative to hug him from behind, using a woman's tenderness to comfort him, it couldn't make him feel even a little bit of joy. This matter gave Jin Fuqiang a very bad feeling.

Although Jin Fuqiang was the richest man in Hujiang, over the past two years, he had spread his business too thin, and his capital chain often felt stretched, relying entirely on bank loans to support it.

And in terms of financial securities, he was not doing too well now because the recent Chinese stock market was not doing too well, and his capital chain was tight, so he couldn't make any big moves. Therefore, he only looked glamorous on the surface, but in fact, his foundation was a bit hollow.

He couldn't help but think of Wu Weihong's advice to him, telling him not to spread his business too thin and to be down-to-earth. But at that time, he was ambitious, thinking that nothing could stump him. He not only wanted to be the richest man in Hujiang, but he also wanted to be the richest man in the country and even the world.

Thus, at that time, his Fuqiang Real Estate Development Company blossomed everywhere in the country. Anyway, with his background, it was easy for him to get loans. But even if he could get loans, real estate development projects required a portion of his own funds, especially the money to buy land, which couldn't be borrowed. He had to buy the land first before he could use it as collateral.

The funds used in one place might not be large, but adding them all up in so many places was not a small number. By the end of last year and the beginning of this year, his capital chain had already had some problems. But relying on his background, he was still able to support it. At worst, he would just handle the banks and tell them not to urge the Fuqiang Company to repay loans.

Now housing prices were rising. At this time, selling off those developed properties and even pre-sale properties to clear inventory would mean he had passed the difficulty.

But who knew he would encounter such a thing in Baozhou? This matter was simply a fatal blow to him.

Jin Fuqiang could naturally think of the chain reaction that followed. It wasn't just about his stock price falling. With the Baozhou housing price manipulation case being reported by the media like this, housing prices across the country would definitely fall in response. And those who wanted to buy houses would naturally be more cautious. Even some people who were not in a hurry to buy houses would wait and see, comparing three different options.
