Chapter 320: Confrontation at the Board of Directors
Chu Yang did see this letter of complaint. It was Director Li who showed it to Chu Yang.
The content of the letter is about Fan Zhesi from Buhai City.
The general meaning is that he was the one who had the final say, embezzled public funds, colluded with the construction team, and used his position to subcontract the project to them. The Buhai City Company has actually lost more than 1 billion yuan.
The report also mentioned that Fan Zhesi installed "white" meters for his relatives and friends. The so-called "white" meters are free meters, which means that no electricity bills need to be paid. The electricity bills will be directly included in the company's line losses.
This situation actually existed in every city in the early years.
Leaders generally have a "white" meter, which means that when they become leaders, they do not have to pay electricity bills. This is also an invisible benefit. After all, electricity tigers are still a feared existence. However, human greed is greedy, and some people took advantage of this loophole at that time.
Hang this electric meter in a stone factory or a chemical plant.
Anyway, they just squeezed the company's assets to the maximum extent. In those years, the company lost tens of millions every year, and the line loss rate reached an alarming level. Later, after 2006, when Mr. Li came to power, the company cancelled the "white" watch benefit and ended the "white" watch benefit.
However, today's leaders dare not use the "white" meter privately, but they will use their authority to get one for some relatives and friends. The average household electricity consumption of a few hundred degrees a month is insignificant for a county or a city, and no one will care.
Some people below also turned a blind eye.
At the end of the letter, many people to whom Fan Zhesi gave gifts were listed. Most of the people who accepted bribes were leaders of provincial companies, among whom Director Liu received them the most. Quite a few board directors were also involved. It also said that Fan Zhesi's death was not an accident, but that someone forced him to death.
It was said in a very clear and concise manner. To be honest, Chu Yang was greatly shocked after reading it, and he firmly believed that the person who wrote the letter must be someone close to Fan Zhesi, otherwise he would not know so many details. So what was his purpose?
After Chu Yang finished reading, Director Li asked Chu Yang with a smile: "Do you believe what the letter says?"
Chu Yang looked at Director Li and smiled. He couldn't figure out Director Li's attitude, so he said, "It's hard to say. If it's true, I hope it's false. Of course, if it's false, then there 's nothing to say."
After hearing Chu Yang's answer, Director Li laughed and said, "Chu Yang, you are getting better and better at being a secretary, and your speaking skills are getting better and better. If I am sold out by you one day, I will help you count the money."
Chu Yang was a little embarrassed and said, "Boss Li, how can I sell you out? You are my leader. If you tell me to go west, I dare not go east."
Director Li sighed, "I do believe it's true, but the person is dead, what else can we say? If we really want to forcefully investigate, I'm afraid it will hurt the feelings of some old comrades."
"Then what are you going to do, Director Li?" Chu Yang originally thought that Director Li would make a big fuss about this letter of complaint.
But Mr. Li said calmly, "Destroy it."
Chu Yang was stunned, then understood.
This sentence represents Mr. Li’s attitude.
Or maybe there is no solid evidence.
However, this letter was received by more than one person. In fact, several directors received it, and many people were ready to take action.
In the afternoon, after Director Li held an organizational life meeting, he also held an impromptu meeting of directors and cadres. Chu Yang was again pulled in to be a recorder, but this time Chu Yang was very smart. He directly turned on the recording on his mobile phone and was not very scared.
When Chu Yang and Director Li arrived at the conference room, Director Liu (in charge of the main network), Director Fan (in charge of the distribution network), Director Sun (in charge of safety), Director Xin (in charge of culture, politics and logistics), Director Bai (in charge of work style and discipline), and Director Zhao, also known as the great expert Zhao (chief technical engineer), had already arrived.
They were chatting silently.
Of course, Director Lan and Director Gao didn't come. Director Lan is a sick old man. He spends 300 out of the 356 days in a year in the hospital. He usually doesn't come back unless it's the company's centenary celebration.
There is also Director Gao Xiaoyan, the only woman on the board of directors and also the chairperson of the labor union. She went down to do comfort work today.
Chu Yang knew a few of these directors.
For example, Mr. Zhao, Chief Engineer, who is also the company's greatest expert, nodded when he saw Chu Yang. The two had met before, and he admired Chu Yang quite a bit.
For example, Mr. Sun. In order to get his position as the top leader, Mr. Xie once took Chu Yang to travel thousands of miles at night just to see him. Damn, Mr. Xie, you still owe me 50,000 yuan, I almost forgot.
Seeing Director Li come in, everyone was very polite and stopped talking. Zhang Shuyu quickly turned on the projector and adjusted the microphone. My younger sister also served tea to the leaders one by one.
As soon as Director Li sat down and took a sip of water, he immediately said without further ado, "We asked everyone to come here today to discuss the candidate for the position of General Manager of Buhai City. Minister Wang, please tell us the basic situation."
It turned out that this was the topic of today's meeting, but Chu Yang really didn't know.
Director Wang of the Human Resources Department immediately stood up and said, "Director Li, according to your instructions, I have conducted a survey of the company's qualified personnel and initially selected three candidates. One is Hu Renhu from Huapei City, another is Hong Liangsheng, the director of the Party and Mass Department of the provincial company, and the last one is Bai Yan, the deputy general manager of Baisong City."
When Chu Yang heard these names, he didn't recognize any of them. They were all cold people, so he didn't care who came up. Before Minister Wang announced the three names, Chu Yang was observing Director Liu's expression.
It seemed that after hearing these three names, he smiled secretly, as if he felt very disdainful.
Director Li did not express his opinion, but said to everyone: "What do you think? Let's discuss it."
Several directors looked at each other, but none of them spoke. Suddenly, there was silence.
Seeing that no one was talking, Director Li called on him directly: "Director Liu, please speak up and give me your opinion."
Director Liu then spoke up: "I originally had no objection, but since Director Li asked me, I'll tell you something. I don't think any of these three candidates are bad. Hu Renhu from Huapei City has messed up his own business. Hong Liangsheng has always been involved in party and government work. If he is asked to take over a municipal company all of a sudden, I'm afraid he will end up with nothing. Finally, Bai Yan, as everyone knows, has a very bad temper. Director Li even dared to scold you last time. Do you still want to use him?"
Director Li said: "I don't mind being scolded, and everyone should stop mentioning it. Director Liu thinks they are all suitable, so who do you think is suitable?" Chu Yang finally understood something. It seems that these three people are Director Li's people, and Director Liu does not agree.
Director Liu made a suggestion: "I think Fan Deli, the deputy general manager of Buhai City, can do it. After all, he is a local and has been doing management work for a long time. He is familiar with the situation and can easily grasp the situation."
Director Fan seconded the proposal: "What Director Liu said does make some sense."
Mr. Sun: "Vanderly and Fan Zhesi seem to be cousins. I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I don't know if you have received a letter of complaint, but I have received one, saying that Fan Zhesi has done a lot of things."
The conference room seemed to have become quieter; you could hear a pin drop.
Director Li looked at Chief Engineer Zhao and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Zhao?"
Mr. Zhao: "Whatever, I don't care."
Mr. Li frowned.
Director Xin seized the opportunity to express his opinion: "Buhai City is an important industrial base in our province, and the electricity consumption is very large. I think we must send an experienced comrade to take charge. I suggest reconsidering the candidate."
Mr. Li didn't know if he had expected such a situation, but he still said calmly: "In this case, let's put this position aside for the time being and make a decision after careful consideration."
After the meeting, Mr. Li returned to his office and drank two large glasses of water.
If the top leader cannot handle the appointment of a cadre, that’s a bit of a problem.
I don’t know if Chu Yang is worrying too much.
Always feel on the board.
Director Li was not tough enough. Although he cleverly nominated three candidates who were all his own people, they were immediately split up by Director Liu.
