Chapter 1993: The Financial Autumn Wind of the City

When Xie Zhiguo asked Qin Feng this, he was actually asking whether Qin Feng was showing him the report for official or personal matters. As for personal matters, it was naturally because the report was written by Xie Simin, so Qin Feng wanted to show Xie Zhiguo how mature Xie Simin was now.

If it is submitted in the name of the county party committee, then it will be a completely impartial matter.

"Tell me what you think about this report first." Xie Zhiguo leaned back in his chair and asked Qin Feng with a smile.

These two people actually played psychological tactics.

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at Xie Zhiguo, and then both of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Go ahead, let's talk about business first." Xie Zhiguo said to Qin Feng after laughing, then picked up the tea and started drinking.

"I agree with the report and believe that these projects are necessary. After comprehensive research, we believe that the construction of these projects can indeed attract tourists to a certain extent, thereby promoting the development of our tourism industry in Yi'an. Of course, we have no way to judge the issue of increasing online exposure proposed in the report."

"But even so, we believe that the investment in this project is feasible and necessary. This is not my personal opinion, but the collective opinion of our Yian team after discussion." Qin Feng reported seriously.

"Since you Yian have already made the decision, why did you show me this report? It seems that this matter does not require the approval of the Municipal Party Committee?" Xie Zhiguo asked.

"We have no money." Qin Feng was very honest and directly stated the reason why he came to find Xie Zhiguo. He did not hide anything and even used the bluntest words.

"You are quite direct. I knew that it was no good when you showed me this report so late at night. Fifty million... Tell me, how do you want the city to pay you this money?" Xie Zhiguo asked.

Of course, there needs to be a reason for the city to pay, and it is not a small amount.

"There are two plans. The first plan is to allocate a special fund to Yi'an in the name of supporting Yi'an's development of the tourism industry, but this plan is more difficult to implement."

"The second plan is to change the first Yian County Tourism Development Conference that Yian is planning to the first Xiquan City Tourism Development Conference. The organizer will be changed from Yian County to Xiquan City. Everything else remains unchanged, only the nominal organizer will change. In this way, the city can apply for a special fund for hosting the Tourism Development Conference to build projects for the Tourism Development Conference." Qin Feng expressed his opinion.

"You have a really smart brain. If you are second to none in Xiquan City when it comes to attacking the city's finances, no one dares to claim to be first." Xie Zhiguo smiled.

"I have no choice. If I have money in my pocket, who would want to beg others for help unless it is absolutely necessary?" Qin Feng laughed.

"Your idea is very good. Putting aside my identity as Xie Simin's father, I also think that the ideas in this report are bold and novel, and more in line with the current era. Although I don't quite understand some of the logic, this is the Internet age, and it is also the age of young people. I believe in the judgment of you young people."

"However, your idea of ​​asking the city's finance department to help you pay for these projects is likely to fail." Xie Zhiguo added.

"Why?" Qin Feng was stunned.

"Qin Feng, you know the reason better than me. You have to know that you are the deputy mayor, and the deputy mayor in charge of this area. If you want to pass, you must first pass your own test."

"Let me ask you three questions. First, does the city's finances have any spare money? Second, how much of the special tourism construction funds given this year are left? Third, will the municipal government agree with your report?" Xie Zhiguo asked Qin Feng three questions in a row.

"I know there are problems on these three points, so I came to you." Qin Feng looked like a rogue.

"You are trying to blackmail me, right? But I'm telling you, I can't do this either."

This time Qin Feng didn't ask Xie Zhiguo why, he knew Xie Zhiguo would explain it to him.

"The municipal party committee can indeed intervene in this matter. Your second idea is also feasible. Let the municipal party committee propaganda department and the municipal government hold the first tourism development conference. This way, the finance department can naturally allocate funds for this matter."

"But you also need to know that this matter requires the cooperation of the municipal government. The municipal party committee can force this matter through, but if the municipal government does not cooperate, there will be constant trouble in the implementation process. At that time, whether the first tourism development conference can still be held in Yi'an County, whether these funds will be used in Yi'an County, and whether these projects can be approved for construction are all problems."

"If it was before, this wouldn't be a big problem. Even if the municipal government didn't cooperate, they wouldn't dare to go too far. But now is a special period. Your plan cannot be implemented at this time unless I take the initiative to compromise." Xie Zhiguo also made his words very clear.

Right now the director of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism is being investigated and the shantytown reconstruction project has been shelved. The fight between Xie Zhiguo and Liu Xiaoping is at its peak. If Qin Feng were to bring this up at this time, Liu Xiaoping would definitely not agree. If Liu Xiaoping disagrees, this matter will certainly not go smoothly during implementation.

If Xie Zhiguo wants Liu Xiaoping to cooperate, he must take the initiative to compromise. However, the political price of asking Xie Zhiguo to compromise for such a matter is too high, and it is definitely not worth it.

Having said that, Qin Feng also knew that it was basically impossible to take advantage of the city's finances, so the matter had to be dropped.

"Secretary Xie, I heard that the Municipal Party Committee had a disagreement on the candidate for the director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau. Liu Xiaoping firmly disagreed with Chen Liming taking over." Qin Feng asked Xie Zhiguo tentatively.

"What else do you know?" Xie Zhiguo asked with a smile.

"I also heard that although the situation in the shantytown has calmed down, the entire demolition project has been temporarily shelved. At the same time, there seems to be an undercurrent in the shantytown recently?" Qin Feng continued.

"You are very clear about every move of the Municipal Party Committee." Xie Zhiguo did not say anything.

"Secretary Xie, is Liu Xiaoping using the shantytown reconstruction project to blackmail you into compromising on the Culture and Tourism Bureau?"

"Liu Xiaoping is playing his cards openly. He is flexing his muscles to me. This is not a blackmail but a threat," Xie Zhiguo said calmly.

"What's your opinion?" Qin Feng asked.

Xie Zhiguo leaned back in his chair, took off his glasses again, and asked Qin Feng: "What do you think of this? What do you think I should do?"

"We must not compromise. Once we compromise, the prestige of the municipal party committee will be completely lost, and future work will be even more difficult to carry out."

"Of course, I say this from the perspective of you and the Municipal Party Committee, not because I am in charge of cultural and tourism work." Qin Feng explained.

"This is not the most important issue now. The key issue is how to solve the issue of shantytown reconstruction. This is a powder keg. It cannot be calmed down by just leaving it there. It may be ignited again at any time." Xie Zhiguo asked in return.
