Chapter 241 Sha Ruijin's Confusion
Grandpa Ni quickly received feedback from Zhao Lichun.
All of the Ni family's properties in Handong were successfully pledged.
Upon learning of this, Mr. Ni immediately informed Sha Ruijin.
They demanded that Sha Ruijin cooperate with the investigation team and that there was no need to protect the Ni family's businesses.
If they request a eviction, then all evictions will be carried out.
Sha Ruijin didn't quite understand at first.
They believed that Grandpa Ni's lack of resistance was a sign of submission to Xia Qing.
Left with no other choice, Mr. Ni had to reveal some of the inside story.
As Sha Ruijin listened, he felt increasingly uneasy.
This action looks so much like an eco-resort project.
It wasn't until Sha Ruijin heard Grandpa Ni's description that he realized what was going on.
Old Master Ni wanted to apply the same strategy that the Zhao family had used on the eco-resort project to the Ni family's businesses in Handong.
The target is Xia Qing, who plans to clear out the Ni family's businesses and replace them with the Xia family's businesses.
If this plan succeeds, companies with debts will be unable to exit due to debt disputes, and newly introduced companies will be unable to enter for a long time.
Based on past experience, in the end, companies planning to move in will demand compensation and give up their plans to move in, or they will look for other locations.
However, available sites are extremely scarce and it is basically impossible to change them, so giving up is the most common reason.
The old businesses, burdened by debt, were unable to operate normally and were turned into abandoned sites with no one to work.
The employees lost their jobs and became petitioners seeking their rights everywhere.
At that time, through public opinion, these abandoned companies and their laid-off employees will be portrayed as victims who were oppressed by powerful figures and had no other choice.
The criticism was directed at Xia Qing and the Xia family.
This will undoubtedly be a significant blow to Xia Qing's political reputation!
Furthermore, Mr. Ni made some improvements to this plan.
There is absolutely no possibility that Xia Qing could retaliate by claiming the pledge was invalid.
Mr. Ni was very satisfied with this plan.
But Sha Ruijin fell into deep thought.
He learned from his previous experience that when new and old companies or projects are replaced, strapping a few debt time bombs to the old one is the most effective way to strike the newcomer.
Grandpa Ni's plan could indeed disgust Xia Qing to a great extent and make her fall into public condemnation.
The Xia family's move to establish operations will also be postponed indefinitely.
However, this raises a problem.
The Ni family's businesses, already burdened with time bombs, will also be affected by the debt crisis.
In Handong, there will be several, or even a dozen, more "unmanned buildings" that cannot be demolished or put into production.
This is equivalent to the government approving land that has turned into a dead zone.
It can no longer be used unless the debt is paid off.
For Handong Province, known for its economy and where land is extremely valuable.
It will be entirely detrimental and offer no benefit whatsoever.
These industries, burdened by debt, will disappear from the market forever.
Those employees will be forced to lay off, becoming a source of instability in society!
Such methods could indeed cause Xia Qing harm for a time.
However, the damage to Handong Province was far beyond what one or two terms of officials could handle.
The lingering effects will last for decades!
As a member of the Ni family, Sha Ruijin wholeheartedly supports Old Master Ni's plan.
But as the provincial party secretary of Handong Province, he is the official in charge of the lives of millions of people.
He wouldn't do something so heartless.
He couldn't understand how the highly respected Mr. Ni, who came from the discipline inspection front, could lose his rational judgment in this matter and be blinded by resentment instead.
After careful consideration, Sha Ruijin offered some suggestions on Mr. Ni's plan.
The more Mr. Ni listened, the more dissatisfied he became.
Sha Ruijin wanted to reject the offer?
What gives you the right?!
Old Master Ni sneered:
"Sha Ruijin, do you think you can refuse?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin was struck dumb.
Yes.
No matter how you explain it or analyze the pros and cons.
With just one sentence, Mr. Ni could negate all his efforts.
Just like the Ni family, who could negate their position as provincial party secretary with just one sentence.
After a long silence, Sha Ruijin's tone was devoid of emotion:
"I understand, I will do it according to plan."
"dad."
Grandpa Ni nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Very good. Recognize your position. You are first and foremost the son-in-law of the Ni family, and secondly the provincial party secretary of Handong... Don't forget that."
"Yes," Sha Ruijin answered readily.
After hanging up the phone, Sha Ruijin stared at his desk for a long time.
Suddenly, he grabbed the teacup and raised it high!
then.
Put it down gently.
At the moment when anger reached its highest point with his arm.
A sudden moment of clarity brought Sha Ruijin back to his composure.
He looked at the teacup that had almost shattered, then looked out the window at the sparrows flying freely in the early spring sunshine.
A strange, vague, and unprecedented emotion surged from the depths of his heart, reaching his throat, causing him to tremble all over and gasp for breath.
He seemed to gradually grasp that elusive answer.
Sha Ruijin walked to the window.
This is the office of the top official in Handong Province, so the view is naturally excellent.
Looking out, the skyscrapers and beautiful scenery of Jingzhou City are all within sight.
Seeing all this, Sha Ruijin secretly made up his mind.
……
Just a few days later.
On behalf of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee, Sha Ruijin met with Liang Yuan, the head of the investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and also the deputy secretary of the CCDI.
Sha Ruijin sincerely thanked the investigation team for their work, deeply reflected on the accounting book incident, and expressed his stance on the company's liquidation.
All enterprises associated with leading cadres must be unconditionally eliminated.
However, considering that Handong's cadre team has already undergone a major reshuffle after the accounting scandal, holding relevant leaders accountable at this time would be a significant blow to Handong's political environment and institutional operations.
Therefore, Sha Ruijin requested Liang Yuan to investigate only the company and not to pursue the leaders and cadres.
Liang Yuan naturally understood and readily agreed.
Firstly, Sha Ruijin's words are indeed reasonable. If ordinary cadres are arrested and then leading cadres are arrested, the operation of the institutions in Handong will likely be paralyzed.
Secondly, there's no need to go to such extremes. This trip to Handong has been incredibly fruitful and fruitful.
For Liang Yuan, there was really no need to offend everyone in Handong.
After the two sides exchanged views.
Companies listed for elimination began to complete handover and exit procedures and moved out of Handong according to the agreed schedule.
Sha Ruijin also found Xia Qing after that.
Xia Qing was put in full charge of the process of new businesses moving in after the old businesses were cleared out.
Xia Qing was instructed to carefully select the companies that would be most beneficial to the economic development of Handong.
We aim to complete the establishment and entry of new enterprises in the first half of this year, put them into production in the second half of the year, bring the annual economic indicators back on track by the end of the year, and achieve growth in indicators next year.
Xia Qing readily agreed.
Back in her office, Xia Qing made a phone call:
"Is now a convenient time for the quarterly check-up?"
