Xu Yi told the story of how his hotel declared food waste recycling, but ended up building a house after a long detour. Qin Guodong frowned after hearing this, "The Peng of that company is the Peng of Dapeng spreading its wings, and Asia is the Asia of Asia, right." "Yeah." Xu Yi nodded. Qin Guodong nodded, picked up his tea cup and took a sip. He pondered for a while and figured out the key, and then he said: "Don't worry about this, it won't do you any harm. I roughly know what's going on." It's over." Hearing what Qin Guodong said, Xu Yi guessed that he understood what was going on, and he felt relieved, but he had to know the meaning, so he asked: "How do you say it?" "The company Pengya has been established for many years. It was established around the time of large-scale infrastructure construction in the provincial capital." "Then what is special about this company?" How many companies are there in the provincial capital? Xu Yi doesn't know, but there must be more than 1,800 companies. If Qin Guodong can remember this company, then this company is either a leader in the industry or something big has happened, or the boss has some relationship with Qin Guodong. ¡°After all, Qin Guodong runs a law firm, which is very different from the construction industry, so he should not have much interaction with Peng Ya. Then this may be an intersection outside of business. Seeing that Qin Guodong's expression was still smiling and there was no change, Xu Yi felt that the latter might be more likely. "This matter has to start seven or eight years ago. At that time, not long after my firm was established, I took over a case related to them and asked someone to investigate this company." "You still remember after all these years, Then there must be something wrong with this company" Hearing what Qin Guodong said, Xu Yi felt that he was still the same. But since we still need to investigate, there must be no friendship. After all, things like acquaintance only exist in stories. "What do you think?" "Is there someone in Pengya company?" Xu Yi thought for a while and said hesitantly. Qin Guodong nodded, "There is nothing visible about this company on the surface, and the legal representative is just a professional manager with an ordinary background. But many companies are like this, with two sets of teams overtly and covertly. The information on the surface is just to deceive others. , there is actually another group of people who control this company. " "Then why would they take on such a job? Wouldn't it be more profitable to do some big projects? " "These days, if you can take over urban street reconstruction, Landscaping How many companies in these businesses really rely on bidding? In fact, the bidding of these projects is just a formality, just for show, like this kitchen renovation. The same is true for projects. Pengya can undertake such a job not because they are more professional or have a good reputation in the industry." After Xu Yi heard this, the previously vague answer became clear, "How did that come about? "I think you have guessed it." Qin Guodong glanced at Xu Yi and continued with a smile: "Companies that can receive such business basically have backgrounds and backing. The same is true for Pengya. But most people don't know, and those who know are just pretending to be confused. After all, those who have the ability are trying to find ways to benefit themselves. If they stab each other, no one's butt will be clean, and both sides will lose in the end. " As he spoke, Qin Guodong also shook his head, "When it comes to big projects, Peng Ya also thinks about it, but there are more people staring at such fat people, and those behind them who are not so capable will naturally not be able to do it. . Being able to get such a job with no risk and guaranteed to get paid will make Pengya's bosses very comfortable. " "In order to avoid trouble in our country, I don't want to gain that false reputation. This firm does not accept criminal cases. At first, I thought it was just a contract dispute and I didn't take it seriously until I found out the details of Peng Ya. It is said that this business of a law firm is more likely to offend people. If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you might get slapped whenever you walk." "Then you still dare to pick it up" Qin Guodong shook his head, "At that time, the people behind Peng Ya were just little shrimps. , I can¡¯t afford to offend you. If I were to do it now, I might not be willing to take this case. After all, I don¡¯t make much money, and it¡¯s easy to offend respectable people. Even if I can afford to offend him, it¡¯s not cost-effective. Tell me what happened back then." Seeing that there was still time, Qin Guodong also had a clue, and Xu Yi listened to the story. When you open your door to do business, you are likely to meet anyone. There is no harm in gaining more exposure. Maybe you will have something you can learn from in the future. "That year, the provincial capital was striving to become a national civilized city, and all districts in the province were also striving to become provincial-level civilized districts. Although the provincial capital was not as heavily renovated as it is now, there were many in each district.Projects such as road improvement and greening. At that time, it was not like now. The provincial capital was still an old industrial city, with many factories in various districts. The fight to create a civilized district involved the environmental beautification projects of many factories, so companies like Pengya also made a lot of money in those years. " "The factory where the dispute occurred was also contracted by Pengya. The contract content was to rebuild the roads and walls in the factory area. " Xu Yi was a little surprised when he heard this, "Such a project is not difficult, right? Why would there be disputes? " "It is indeed not difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, there may be some surprises. The work was completed in just a few days, but it rained for several days in less than half a month, and several sections of the newly repaired wall fell down. Later investigation revealed that Pengya, in order to meet the construction deadline, built the upper wall before the foundation of the wall was completely solidified. This damaged the foundation and it may not have been able to survive for a few days even if it didn't rain. " "Fortunately, it was at the back of the factory, and it fell at night, so no one was injured. The factory boss also vaguely knew that Pengya had a backstage, so he didn't say anything. He only asked Pengya to rebuild the collapsed wall to ensure that such problems would not occur in the future, and then they were willing to pay the balance. " "Then Pengya didn't rework it, right? "After all, if the work is really reworked, it probably won't be to the point of a lawsuit. "Yeah, Pengya is busy with other orders and refuses to build the wall for them. He also said that they passed the inspection and the wall was The problem had nothing to do with me, but I asked the factory to pay the project payment as scheduled. " "The two parties were unhappy. The factory was not safe without a wall. The factory simply found another construction unit to repair the wall, and then checked the hidden dangers left by Pengya in the construction, and used the terms of the contract to deduct I paid the final payment to Pengya. " Xu Yi was also a little speechless, but thinking about it, it was normal. "I guess Pengya didn't agree? " "Yes, but they didn't say anything. They simply ignored me and were busy with other jobs they got. " "Then why did it get to the point of filing a lawsuit? " "After breaking up with Pengya, this factory has stirred up a hornet's nest. Every three days, either industrial and commercial tax or fire and sanitation inspections are coming. If there is a slight problem, a notice of suspension of business and rectification is issued. Even because of this, they have received several inspections. Neither contract could be completed as scheduled, and instead they were compensated a lot of liquidated damages. " "This is really dark. Even if there is nothing wrong, someone will come to check every day, this business will not be able to continue. " "No, the boss also guessed that Peng Ya was causing trouble inside. After all, except for road hardening and wall renovation, nothing else has been touched in the factory. Why did everything that was qualified at the beginning suddenly have problems with everything? In anger, he simply shut down the factory and prepared to make a big deal out of it. At that time, there was no Internet problem, so he just came to me and planned to sue Pengya for breach of contract and jointly and severally compensate for a series of losses. " Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh. This kind of collusion between government and businessmen is indeed not something that such a small factory can resist. "What happened next? " "In the end, the lawsuit was settled. "Qin Guodong shook his head, "The court issued a subpoena to Pengya, and someone asked someone to find the victim, saying that Pengya had compensated for the loss, and also guaranteed that no one would go to check if there was anything wrong. Later, the settlement was settled out of court. . " "Pengya doesn't have a backing, so why is he willing to reconcile?" " "Actually, Pengya was founded by the nephew of Director Xie of the Provincial Urban Construction Department and several relatives of other department leaders. There was a change of office that year, and a lawsuit might affect these leaders, so Pengya didn't dare to cause trouble in the city. , otherwise this matter may not have any results. Xu Yi was a little curious, "Didn't you say that family members of leading cadres are prohibited from doing business?" " Qin Guodong shook his head, "These regulations came later, and they are only a few years old. Moreover, this leading cadre refers to high-ranking officials. At that time, those people were just little shrimps and were not included in this regulation. " "Later on, documents were issued prohibiting family members of cadres from doing business, and little by little, those little shrimps at that time became part of the restriction of this regulation. Although Pengya's company has more standardized behaviors, competition in the construction industry is fierce and operating costs are still high, so it has not developed much. So most of the people have withdrawn their shares, and the remaining few have also changed their shares from open to dark, and continued to operate with a new set of people. At least now no one who doesn't know the details can find anything wrong with them. " "Then what do you think about my matter? I have no clue. " "I have met Director Xie several times, and I think he is an acquaintance, but this happened after the case. At that time, he was the deputy director of the urban construction bureau of the district along the river. He had enough experience and seniority, but he had no connections, so it was difficult to think further. During the renovation of the university town, the urban construction bureau in that area had several shuangguis arrested due to demolition disputes, so he was transferred there.Appointed acting director. " "Then he didn't give you any trouble because of Peng Ya? "How could it be possible? Not to mention the public security, procuratorate, and law, I know a few people in the province and city. Besides, with Brother Zheng¡¯s relationship, there¡¯s no way he would bother me with such trivial matters. " "This man is also a good person. In the past, the chief of the government also found ways to build good relations with surrounding villages and towns. This was much better than his predecessor. But having said that, if Brother Zheng hadn't disrupted the situation, maybe his predecessor's political performance would have been better than his. " "In recent years, the economy has been in charge, and most of the colleges and universities in the provincial capital have been relocated to the university town. This person has also done his part well. So the past few years have been smooth sailing, and I have become the deputy director. " "Brother Zheng also helped him a lot when it came to his transfer. They had a pretty good relationship. Last time Brother Zheng came back, we had dinner together. If you look at it this way, you should be doing this for Brother Zheng's sake. However, Brother Zheng is not in the country. I think he may have something to do and cannot find Brother Zheng. This is because he is preparing to save the country. " Qin Guodong was not completely sure, but he still told Xu Yi what he knew. Xu Yi was relieved. At least he knew who he was in love with, and he didn't have to worry so much. "Brother Qin, look at me. Should we find some time to treat Director Xie to a meal or something? "
