I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

"Oh?" Yang Wen thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"

"So, is there anything else you'd like to say? I'm here on behalf of the group to understand the actual situation, and I'd really like to hear the truth," Yang Wen added.

Sun Tianlei is a shrewd person to have risen to the position of boss.

After hearing Yang Wen's words, he naturally understood what he meant.

It means to be bold and speak your mind, to say whatever you know.

With that thought in mind, he naturally had no more worries!

"Actually, what you said before about bidding not going to Haidong City is indeed the truth circulating locally. Our bidding market is really very bad! In recent years, almost every bid over 50 million yuan has been maliciously monopolized and rigged by bid rigging."

“Moreover, it’s said that the person who controls this market is a man named Gu Yaolong! It’s said that he has a lot of power. Before he monopolized this market, he was from a black background and he was very domineering. Many bosses have been forced by him to not dare to do business here. Especially those bosses from other places are in a worse situation. Many bosses from other places that I know are now afraid to do business here,” Sun Tianlei said.

"We business people don't have very high profit margins to begin with, and we have to advance payments, so our cash flow is already tight. If we buy projects from certain people, we have to give them millions or tens of millions of yuan. After paying them these intermediary fees, we only earn a meager living. Sometimes, if we exceed the budget, we don't even make a profit, and we might even lose money!"

“This kind of business environment has made it difficult for many people to do business!” “What we businessmen want is a fair environment… They are just profiting from both sides…” Sun Tianlei said indignantly.

"Since a few years ago, I've only been able to take on small projects. Big projects... sigh, I don't dare touch them..."

“Some out-of-town bosses even thought they had bought big projects and were willing to pay the brokerage fee, but as the project progressed, they realized they had been scammed and eventually ran away… They are just exploiting out-of-town bosses, taking advantage of them, and one wave of out-of-town bosses comes and another wave comes…”

Yang Wen listened and took notes.

"Boss, is your team going to launch a thorough investigation?" After saying that, Sun Tianlei looked at Yang Wen expectantly.

To be honest, as long as Gu Yaolong is not eliminated, he will remain an intractable cancer on the entire bidding market!

"It's not convenient to disclose that right now, but the information you provided today is very important. Don't worry, we won't let any bad guys get away with it," Yang Wen said with a smile.

After leaving Sun Tianlei's company, Yang Wen went on to the next one.

The companies he visited to gather information were all rigorously selected.

This was to avoid encountering those clandestine companies owned by Gu Yaolong.

If we ask these kinds of questions, wouldn't we be exposing ourselves prematurely?

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

In a small meeting room.

One by one, the colleagues who were sent out to collect information began to report the information they had gathered.

“One of my bosses has changed careers. He used to be in engineering, but now he’s in the catering business. I heard that he offended Gu Yaolong eight years ago and was threatened and beaten up by him, but nothing came of it. This boss said that Gu Yaolong has a lot of influence behind him and can handle many things…” My colleague Xiao Zhou reported.

"My side..."

As each colleague reported the situation, Peng Weizhong's expression gradually became serious.

After everyone had finished speaking, he slowly said, "It seems that the claim that the bidding process failed to reach Haidong City was not unfounded!"

"Based on the information we've gathered so far, this is most likely true!"

Whether it's from those anonymous letters, the few people who made real-name reports before, the general public, or now from the bosses who failed to win bids a few years ago, the situation is roughly the same.

This proves that there is indeed a problem!

"Xiao Yang, come with me."

"it is good!"

Soon, Yang Wen followed Peng Weizhong to Lü Yuantao's office.

They saw the two of them come in.

"Any news?" Lu Yuantao asked, looking at the two of them.

Since Peng Weizhong's team had hardly been responsible for verifying any other cases in the past week, the two of them must have made some new progress.

"There's new information."

"After our investigation..." Peng Weizhong then recounted the whole story.

"The only thing we don't know right now is how exactly they rigged the bids, who was working with them on the inside, and who Gu Yaolong's backer is!"

"It seems there's no smoke without fire!" Lu Yuantao narrowed his eyes, his face darkening.

This egregious manipulation of the bidding market is utterly despicable and has had a tremendous impact on local bidding processes and the economy!

"Xiao Peng, what suggestions do you have?" Lu Yuantao asked Peng Weizhong.

"This case regarding the failure to secure a bid in Haidong City can be investigated," Peng Weizhong stated his opinion.

"Yes, the amount of information we've gathered so far is enormous, and it's basically confirmed that there's definitely a problem, so we can indeed open a case." Lu Yuantao nodded slightly.

Moreover, he had a feeling that the person behind the scenes who could interfere in so many large-scale bidding processes must be someone of considerable influence!

"Alright then, you two can go back and get busy. Oh, and you can start your new mission now," Lü Yuantao added.

"Yes!"

After Yang Wen and his companion left, Lü Yuantao took the documents to discuss them with the group leader, deputy group leader, and the inspection commissioners.

on the way back.

"Brother, is this case most likely going to be transferred to the investigation team now?" Yang Wen asked.

"I think it's highly likely. We have all the preliminary information we need, and the accusations are quite clear. Although we don't have evidence yet, with so much information and allegations, it's almost certain that we'll have to investigate!"

"It depends on whether our inspection team's investigation group is tasked with investigating, or whether an investigation team is dispatched from above," Peng Weizhong said.

"That's true." Yang Wen nodded slightly.

really.

Peng Weizhong received the news the next day.

The case was indeed transferred to the investigation team for further investigation.

In other words, what happened afterward was no longer relevant to Yang Wen and his team. Over the next few days, Yang Wen and his group embarked on a new initial nuclear mission.

Whether the investigation team can uncover evidence against Gu Yaolong and his backers is not something Yang Wen needs to worry about.

After all, he can't just say outright who it is, right?
