Chapter 2558 The Money Was Transferred Away

According to the original plan, the project funds for the swimming pool should have been allocated a few days ago, but Hu Haihui found an excuse to delay it. Yesterday, Qin Feng signed his name with a stroke of his pen, and the money was directly transferred to the Pingshun City irrigation project, and the transfer was very fast.

The final signing authority for the allocation of such funds must be in the hands of the mayor, but in the past, Shao Hongli was in charge of finance and auditing. According to the procedure, Shao Hongli's signature is required before Qin Feng signs. But now that Qin Feng is personally in charge of financial work, the link of Shao Hongli's signature is directly cancelled. In other words, Shao Hongli not only cannot intervene in the fact that the money has been transferred, he doesn't even know about it.

All the funds for the swimming pool project have been transferred away. According to the financial situation of Shazhou City, it is impossible to have other funds to fill the funding gap of this project. That is to say, the swimming pool project that has already started construction will either have to be suspended or the contractor will have to advance the funds to complete it and then slowly repay it when the government finances have money later.

But anyone who has worked on government projects knows that the chances of getting the money are slim.

More importantly, part of the project has already started construction. A distant cousin of Shao Hongli, as the general contractor of the project, has already paid a lot of preparation costs.

Qin Feng did not stop the project, but directly transferred the money away. This move was extremely cruel.

Qin Feng knew that the Liujiacun case seemed to have nothing to do with Shao Hongli on the surface, but in fact Shao Hongli and Ding Wenbo must have played a crucial role in it. Qin Feng targeted Shao Hongli and Ding Wenbo because of the Liujiacun case, and he must make these two people pay a price.

160 million yuan was taken from the swimming pool project, and the remaining 40 million yuan was also withdrawn from several projects that had a direct interest relationship with Shao Hongli and Ding Wenbo.

Qin Feng's actions on the entire urban construction system were not only to review engineering projects and withdraw funds from some projects, but he also directly stopped two projects that were already ready to be launched and one that had already been launched but had just started construction for various reasons.

Everyone could see that Qin Feng was going to completely reshuffle the entire sandbar's construction system, and the conflict was directed directly at Shao Hongli and Ding Wenbo.

Of course, Qin Feng did not touch the projects in Nanshan New District, even though two of the projects were directly related to Shao Hongli. Qin Feng knew that Nanshan New District was the weak spot of Jiang Longjun and he could not touch it.

At this stage, he does not have the ability to challenge Jiang Longjun directly, especially when he has completely offended the Lixin Group.

……

"Why hasn't the funding for the swimming pool been approved yet? What on earth is your Finance Bureau doing? Is this your work efficiency? How long has this matter been delayed?" Shao Hongli was sitting in his office making a phone call, and sitting in his office was his wife's third-generation cousin.

This cousin had been contracting construction sites outside. In fact, he was just a small contractor. He was neither doing well nor badly and could barely make a living.

Later, after learning of Shao Hongli's identity, he tried every means to become a relative of Shao Hongli's wife, and then got in touch with Shao Hongli through Shao Hongli's wife.

This person has no other talents, but he is eloquent, knows how to flatter, and has a good grasp of the ways of the world, which is more to Shao Hongli's liking. After a few interactions, he became familiar with Shao Hongli.

After becoming familiar with Shao Hongli, Shao Hongli would occasionally say hello to him, and this cousin would immediately get some good jobs from several large project general contractors, and the money he earned was more than he had earned in the previous ten years combined.

This cousin was a smart man. He gave all the money he earned from the two construction sites introduced to him by Shao Hongli to Shao Hongli, which once again won Shao Hongli's favor. In addition, at this time Shao Hongli happened to join the team with the support of Lixin Group and became the executive vice mayor, and his ambition soared.

So, Shao Hongli began to have some ideas, and the "sensible" cousin became his favorite person.

After that, the cousin immediately opened an engineering construction company. Shao Hongli personally figured out the qualifications and other issues. Then, this company, which had only been established for a few days, began to frequently win bids for government projects. Later, this company became a specialized general contracting company, responsible for winning projects from the government and subcontracting them to others, earning considerable profits from it without having to do anything.

Seventy percent of the money earned by this company went directly into Shao Hongli's pocket. This cousin was actually Shao Hongli's accountant.

Today, the cousin came to Shao Hongli's office early in the morning. Usually, he rarely came to the office to see Shao Hongli because he wanted to avoid suspicion, but today he didn't care about that.

Their company won the bid for the swimming pool project, which was then subcontracted to someone else. Now that the project has started construction, he needs to pay the subcontracting company the first phase of the project according to the contract. Similarly, he also needs to ask the owner for the first phase of the project payment.

The money from the owner unit had not arrived yet. Even if he brought out Shao Hongli's card, the owner unit still did not allocate the funds. The reason was that the project funds that the Finance Bureau had promised to arrive some time ago had not yet arrived.

The cousin had no choice but to use his connections to go to the Finance Bureau to inquire about the news. It turned out that the other party told him that the money had been directly transferred to other projects, and now there was not a penny in the Finance Bureau's account.

My cousin was shocked. He had been dealing with the government for so many years and knew what the government was like. If you were out of money, they really wouldn't give you a penny, even if you jumped off a building.

You know, the total cost of the company he subcontracted, including the early preparations, on-site entry, and the earthwork work that has already begun, is already a huge sum. If there is no money in the treasury, then this project will most likely fail, and the money invested by the subcontracting company will definitely be wasted.

Others lost so much money, would they not trouble him as the general contractor? So he hurried to Shao Hongli's office early in the morning to inquire about this matter.

After hearing what his cousin said, Shao Hongli didn't take it seriously at all. In his opinion, this was simply impossible.

The swimming pool project was a large project that had already completed all the procedures, and the funds were earmarked for specific purposes. Would the Finance Bureau dare to misappropriate them? Besides, everyone knew that this project was Shao Hongli's "own" project, so who would be so blind as to dare to take his money?

Although he did not take it seriously, Shao Hongli still personally called a deputy director of the Finance Bureau and asked him why the funds for the swimming pool had not been allocated yet. In his capacity as the executive vice mayor, he ordered the other party to transfer the money immediately.
