Chapter 424 The Troublemaker

I really don't understand my son's suggestion. Since Fan Wubing has invested so much money in the reservoir, why is he unwilling to continue investing in dredging the river and restoring the local water conservancy project?

"I have to save some face for the government, right?" Fan Wubing replied.

Fan Heng was speechless after hearing this.

In fact, what Fan Wubing said makes sense. It is the so-called art of keeping a low profile. When to come forward and when to retreat, the reason lies in it.

Although Fan Wubing invested a huge amount of money in building river embankments and reservoirs before, in terms of its influence, it seems to be limited to one city and one place after all. The water conservancy project of dredging the whole province, although the investment is not large, has a wide impact. If Fan Wubing still pays for it, it will be a bit of a guest taking over the host.

Therefore, Fan Wubing woke up his father and told him that some money cannot be saved. When the government should pay, it must be implemented resolutely and thoroughly. If there is any credit in the future, it will be because of the good leadership of Acting Governor Fan and his foresight. The whole province worked together to promote the water conservancy project in Jiangnan Province.

In this way, even if the family wants to set up a model at that time, it will be justified. It can't be said that all the projects were spent on Fan Wubing's money, right? That would be too shameful.

"This kind of thing, ah, I understand--" Fan Heng shook his head, indicating that he accepted Fan Wubing's suggestion.

In fact, the country has invested a lot in water conservancy projects, but there have been no major floods in recent years, so after the funds arrived at the local level, there is really not much that can be used for this purpose. Either they were misappropriated or embezzled, just like the levee in Jiangnan Province, which cost a lot of money and was built with shoddy materials.

However, Fan Heng also thought of something happier, and said to Fan Wubing, "There is a good thing I forgot to tell you. The 20 billion yuan that they lost has now been recovered through various channels, and about 14 billion yuan has been included in the finances of Jiangnan Province. For the time being, I don't have to worry about having no money to spend."

This is indeed a good thing. Originally, Fan Wubing thought that even if the money was recovered, it would not be credited to the account of Jiangnan Province. Seeing this result now, it shows that the central leaders are very appreciative of Fan Heng's work. Although Fan Heng's words are sometimes a bit radical, after all, the work achievements are here. Everyone is not a fool. They see it very clearly. Therefore, once the money is recovered, it will be immediately credited to the account of Jiangnan Province. It is a reward for Fan Heng to come to Jiangnan Province to take over this mess in the midst of many crises and the momentum of development.

However, Fan Wubing estimated that the possibility of getting back the remaining 4 billion yuan is very small. First, it is not easy to recover it. Second, when the central government also needs money, the funding gap of Jiangnan Province has been filled.

Moreover, there was still a lot of surplus, so the central government naturally withheld the money and made other arrangements.

But no matter what, it was enough to recover 16 billion yuan. It was already expected, and the provincial government could not complain any more. Otherwise, it would be a bit out of touch with the times.

Fan Wubing was most concerned about the Bailushan Reservoir. The large investment was one reason. Another reason was that he wanted to run the water park well. He was not at ease to leave it to others. Although he invited several professional designers, he had to make his own decisions on the general direction, and he also had to consider and modify the plans they proposed. Some designs that did not conform to national conditions and had low commercial value were quickly eliminated.

Although the Jiangnan area is relatively wealthy, there are no new profit growth points in tourist places except for some famous mountains and rivers that have been opened.

Hengdian Film and Television City, which Fan Wubing invested in and built before, is one of the emerging tourist attractions. But the main purpose of everyone coming to Hengdian is to watch people filming. If they are lucky. You can take photos with the stars you admire. If you are a little luckier, maybe a crew needs extras. You can also show your face. By the way, you can earn some travel expenses.

Therefore, after the construction of Hengdian Film and Television City, crews from all over the country moved in to shoot, and the income was very good. Fan Wubing was inspired by this and became more determined to build a water park in Bailu Mountain. He also considered building a set of retro water fortresses here, which can be used for filming movies and TV shows, or hosting some water entertainment programs.

However, the construction of Bailu Mountain Reservoir was not smooth sailing. Just when Fan Wubing was discussing matters with his father, news came from the reservoir engineering command that the project had stopped.

"Why stop?" Fan Wubing was a little stunned.

"When digging the ground, antiques were dug up. The cultural relics department said that they would conduct archaeological excavations and could not destroy the site, so the progress of the project stopped." Chen Sizhe, a representative of Fan's Investment Group who was in charge of the engineering command, reported to Fan Wubing on the phone.

Cultural relics department?

I thought, this is a bit troublesome, it seems I have to go to the site.

"Let me ask what's going on?" Fan Heng patted his son's shoulder, signaling him to be patient.

Fan Heng's secretary Song Qing immediately called the Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau to inquire about the matter, saying that Acting Governor Fan was highly concerned about it and emphasized the province's support for recent water conservancy projects.

However, the attitude of the Provincial Cultural Relics Administration was also quite firm. They believed that economic development was important and water conservancy was also an obligation, but the national cultural relics policy could not be neglected. After all, many cultural relics could never be restored once they were damaged.

After listening to Song Qing's retelling, Fan Heng was also a little hesitant. In principle, what she said was not wrong. As the head of a province, he could not favor one over the other.

"I'd better go there myself and take a look at the situation." Fan Wubing didn't want to let his father down, so he said to him.

Fan Heng nodded and agreed to this matter.

The Bailushan Reservoir was also dozens of kilometers away from Changping. It was actually upstream of Changping. The choice of building it at this location was naturally to consider that once a flood peak passed through, it could be intercepted upstream of Changping and reduce the burden on the Changping river embankment as much as possible.

Fan Wubing brought some people and rushed to the scene in an hour.

Sure enough, people at the engineering command center were talking about it, and the entire project was stopped.

;When Sizhe saw Fan Wubing and others coming, he immediately ran over and greeted them.

"Why did the project stop? Where are the unearthed cultural relics?" Fan Wubing felt a little strange.

Even if cultural relics were unearthed, there would be limitations. Such a large construction site would not have stopped all work, right?

Several people came out of the crowd, one of whom was the deputy director of the Cultural Relics Bureau. He greeted Fan Wubing and said, "Experts said that this is a cultural relic protection area. Before large-scale excavation, construction cannot be carried out. We have no way."

These people in the Cultural Relics Bureau knew Fan Wubing, so their attitudes were very polite and there was no arrogance at all.

Fan Wubing asked suspiciously, "Isn't it an expert from the province? Why didn't the provincial government get notified?"

"An expert from Beijing happened to be doing cultural relic research nearby, and he ran into him." The deputy director said to Fan Wubing a little embarrassedly.

Oh, no wonder the provincial bureau didn't have any temper at all, it turned out to be an expert from Beijing.

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "Can you take me to the site?"

"Of course." The deputy director nodded immediately in response.

The group walked towards the place where the cultural relics had been excavated, and found that it had been surrounded by a cordon. The staff of the Cultural Relics Bureau were busy under the guidance of several experts, taking out the pots and jars dug out from the ground, and then using a brush to clean the loose soil on them.

Fan Wubing walked closer and took a look, and knew that this place was not an important cultural relic concentration area.

Generally, there are only a few types of valuable cultural relics, such as large tombs, ancient human activity sites, and ancient monuments with ancient cultural research value, but this pit here is obviously full of worthless goods such as pots and jars. At first glance, it is the site of a local ceramic workshop.

According to the records here in Jiangnan Province, there are no more famous porcelain kilns or other similar places here, so it can be determined that these things should have been buried casually by the early villagers in the area.

In fact, a hundred or so ancient coins were found in a jar, ranging from the Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It is a relatively valuable discovery. Apart from that, there is no other value in digging.

I really don’t know what these experts are doing occupying this place?

An expert was watching the staff carrying plates out there with his hands behind his back, and told them to be careful. After seeing Fan Wubing and others coming, he walked over and asked unhappily, "Director Wu, why did you let people in casually? Didn’t you say that the scene should be kept quiet?"

The deputy director surnamed Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Professor Hu, this is the investor. They want to come and see the situation. It’s not easy for us to stop them."

Fan Wubing looked at Professor Hu seriously and felt that this guy seemed a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him. He couldn’t help but feel a little inexplicable.

You know, people who can have some impressions of him are news figures, and there are not many people in the cultural relics industry. Who is this Professor Hu?

No matter who he is, just because of these broken jars and broken pots, he delayed his work schedule, which is enough to prove that he is here to disrupt the situation.

The second update today is sent to
