Chapter 1967 False Data

The previous words were all preparation. Tang Shaoying meant to explain his own and the provincial party committee and government's support for the construction of roads and railways in Chaojiang area, and to tell everyone that all his decisions were based on facts.

Now, Tang Shaoying finally spoke out his true thoughts.

Liu Fusheng frowned slightly, and Xie Zhenqi and some members of the provincial party committee standing committee also looked surprised.

Before Liu Fusheng could speak, Xie Zhenqi asked, "Deputy Secretary Tang, can't the provincial funds even support the construction of two roads?"

Tang Shaoying smiled slightly. He had already studied all the methods prepared by Liu Fusheng.

So we certainly cannot bring up the funding issue. Doesn't that mean we are moving the conversation to the topic of public-private partnership?

Tang Shaoying said: "Funding is not the biggest problem. The main problem is that the project was rushed and it is easy to break the provincial plan."

Xie Zhenqi asked in confusion: "Secretary Liu has taken all aspects of the situation into consideration, is this still hasty?"

Tang Shaoying said: "The two roads from Jiyang to Jiangtou cross three municipal administrative districts, and there are many areas that need to be coordinated. First, the demolition of factories, mines and residential houses requires constant communication and resolution. Secondly, the coordination of the three municipal governments also requires repeated consultations. Finally, there is the issue of ownership of the highway and railway... There are so many issues, and none of them can be sloppy. It would be irresponsible to rush into it."

After a pause, Tang Shaoying said with a cheerful face: "Secretary Liu, in principle, I and most of the provincial party committee members agree with the road construction plan. It is only a matter of time before this is implemented. I hope you can wait patiently."

What Tang Shaoying said made a lot of sense. Although the three cities in Chaojiang were all under the jurisdiction of Chaojiang City, Jiangtou City and Jiyang City were also prefecture-level cities in terms of administrative level. The railways and highways that run through the three cities naturally cannot be completely managed by one city.

The final allocation of responsibilities and powers still needs to be decided by the province. Therefore, since it concerns the decision of the provincial party committee and government, it needs to be discussed and studied in depth. It is reasonable to postpone approval of construction.

Xie Zhenqi and the provincial party committee standing committee members who supported him all turned serious.

They didn't expect that Tang Shaoying would delay the construction of the two roads from an administrative perspective. After all, before the meeting, Tang Shaoying talked about issues of money and people, but now he has completely changed direction, which makes everything they have prepared completely useless.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Since road construction requires provincial approval, the relevant departments and leaders must study it carefully. I wonder how long it will take to study this matter?"

Tang Shaoying hesitated and said, "We need to judge the specific time based on the actual situation. After all, although this kind of thing is not difficult, it is very trivial. I can guarantee that there will be results within this year."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "If we want to develop the economy in Chaojiang City, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until next year. If the two roads from Jiyang to Jiangtou are not completed as soon as possible, we will face great losses in Chaojiang City."

As he spoke, Liu Fusheng took out another document and distributed it to all members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

"This document records all the large companies I have contacted during this period that have agreed to move into Jiyang City. There are also some companies that have decided to invest in Jiangtou City. After they move in, what they need most is the highway and railway from Jiyang to Jiangtou. If there is no road, their goods cannot be transported, including the goods at the port, all of which will be affected."

Liu Fusheng said with emotion: "Building roads is something I promised when I was attracting investment. Without this prerequisite, it would be difficult for me to get any investment... This document records the specific investment amounts of these companies. I think even Pengcheng, Zhucheng, and even Yangcheng can't afford to lose such a large-scale investment, right?"

All members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee have seen the information provided by Liu Fusheng.

The information shows that the scale of enterprises and investments attracted by Liu Fusheng is truly astonishing. Such a large amount requires special attention even in a first-tier city like Yangcheng.

While everyone was thinking, Liu Fusheng said, "There is one more thing that I forgot to report to the leaders."

"Some time ago, various ministries and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other departments visited the three cities of Chaojiang for an investigation and research. Yesterday, the relevant departments in Yanjing called me specifically and asked about the planning and construction of roads and railways. I also faxed the information I had to Yanjing."

When these words were spoken, many members of the provincial party committee standing committee gasped.

What Liu Fusheng did was equivalent to blowing the whole matter up. He told Yanjing that I have already obtained so much investment and made a complete plan. If the investment and plan are not approved by the province because of the road construction and cannot be implemented, then the responsibility lies entirely with the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of East Guangdong Province. It has nothing to do with the three cities of Chaojiang.

Everyone looked at Tang Shaoying, whose expression looked a little ugly.

Because he was the one who took the lead in denying, or in other words, wanted to delay the road construction plan. If Yanjing holds people accountable, Tang Shaoying will be the first to bear the brunt.

Tang Shaoying thought for a moment and said, "The materials provided by Secretary Liu are very important. I think all the members of the Standing Committee need to take a closer look. Why don't we take a 15-minute break to finish reading the materials before continuing the meeting."

A temporary recess?

This situation is not common, especially since Tang Shaoying took the initiative to propose a recess.

Tang Shaoying has always shown himself to be smart, capable, wise and decisive in Guangdong Province.

At this time, he proposed to adjourn the meeting, which was obviously because Liu Fusheng's material had hit his soft spot.

During the recess, Xie Zhenqi walked up to Liu Fusheng and said, "You are amazing. You have attracted so much investment without making any noise. I saw Tang Shaoying's face change."

Liu Fusheng smiled bitterly and said, "Me too, I had no choice but to do it."

Xie Zhenqi was surprised and said, "You were able to raise so much money out of necessity. Are you being modest or bragging?"

Liu Fusheng looked around and suddenly nodded and said, "I am indeed bragging."

Xie Zhenqi was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Liu Fusheng said: "The list of companies and the amount I submitted just now were all bragging."

"What did you say?" Xie Zhenqi's eyes widened in surprise. "Secretary Liu, this is the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee. You actually came here with fake data to make a fuss? If this gets out, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I understand. The most direct consequence is that the road construction project will be completely ruined. Then my reputation will also be greatly affected. I will not be able to develop in East Guangdong Province."

Xie Zhenqi said: "If that's the case, how dare you fake it?"

Liu Fusheng sighed, "This is my raise."

"What do you mean?" Xie Zhenqi didn't quite understand.

Liu Fusheng said: "The military order that Secretary Tang and I signed is a bet, and this information is me adding to the bet. If I win, I can get everything I want. If I lose, it will be the outcome you just described."

Xie Zhenqi frowned and asked, "Do you think Tang Shaoying will believe the data you provide?"
