Chapter 95: Special demolition team

Views:

Quanzhou Pharmaceutical Factory is located in the old town of N City. It was a well-known large factory in N City a few decades ago.

When the pharmaceutical factory was at its most glorious, Quanzhou Pharmaceutical Factory had an annual output value of tens of billions of yuan, and the pharmaceutical factory's employee benefits were also the best. It was the first to build a spacious and tall dormitory building in n city, becoming the earliest community in n city. .

It is a pity that the leaders of the pharmaceutical factory were dazzled by the victory and blindly expanded the output value, which brought the pharmaceutical factory to a dead end and became insolvent.

All the pharmaceutical equipment was dismantled to pay debts, and the factory area was abandoned. What used to be a good pharmaceutical factory turned into a deserted and dilapidated urban village. It can be said that it has plummeted.

Fortunately, the real estate development boom has been booming in recent years. Since the location of the pharmaceutical factory is close to the city center, it has also been included in the scope of demolition and housing construction. The Tang Group bid for the auction on the condition that it assumes the historical debts of the pharmaceutical factory and resettles its employees. Arrived at this prime location.

The next step is of course demolition and resettlement, but that's where the problem lies. The Tang Group's compensation standard is too low, and there are also some problems with building new houses. For this reason, the residents of the pharmaceutical factory have collectively made trouble several times.

Without attracting anyone's attention, Nie Cai quietly arrived at the dormitory area of Quanzhou Pharmaceutical Factory.

A dilapidated earth-yellow brick house stands at the gate of the community, with the words "Quanzhou Community Urban Village Renovation Headquarters" written on it. However, it must be because of the weekend that the headquarters is not open.

Behind this brick building are three old-fashioned dormitory buildings. These three dormitory buildings have about eight floors. The khaki exterior walls are old and cracked, and it can be seen that they are old.

Nie Cai quietly took out the camera and took a few shots from the outside. Then he placed the camera in the dimensional storage space and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"Hello, hello, I am a reporter for the "8pm News" column of City N TV station. I am currently in the dormitory area of the pharmaceutical factory..."

Before he finished speaking, an old and hoarse voice on the other end of the phone said in surprise: "Great, finally some media dares to report here!"

After Nie Cai chatted for a few words on the phone, the man immediately asked Nie Cai to wait where he was, saying that he was looking for him.

Not long after, a white-haired old man appeared in front of Nie Cai. This old man looked to be about seventy years old. He was wearing a melon skin hat, his face was pale, and he walked with a weak pace.

"My surname is Huang, and I am an old employee of a pharmaceutical factory. Finally someone from the media is here. I thought they were all bribed by the Tang Group!"

When the old man met, his face was full of excitement, and his face seemed to be quite rosy.

"Uncle Huang, if you report the problem, we as the news media will definitely come and take a look."

Uncle Huang's words were a little rude, but Nie Cai didn't care. Instead, he politely extended his hand to the old man, wanting to shake his hand.

Unexpectedly, the latter shrank his hand and said with some embarrassment: "Reporter Nie, I forgot to tell you that I am also an AIDS patient. I was infected by a razor blade while shaving the year before last... Alas, people are so unlucky that there is nothing they can do about it."

After hearing what Uncle Huang said, Nie Cai suddenly understood.

No wonder Uncle Huang desperately called the media and was not afraid of the threats from AIDS patients. It turned out that he himself was an AIDS patient.

"It's okay, Uncle Huang. AIDS is preventable and controllable. It's not scary. It won't spread as long as there is no contact with body fluids. Don't be afraid that I will dislike you."

Nie Cai smiled, without any strange look, but shook hands gently, and then said: "Uncle Huang, can you tell us what is going on?"

Uncle Huang looked a little surprised. Since he got AIDS, his neighbors and friends have changed their attitudes towards him, even his own relatives.

Unexpectedly, this reporter named Nie could actually shake hands with him and said that AIDS was preventable, controllable and not scary, which immediately changed his attitude and softened his tone a lot.

"Reporter Nie, don't mind if I was a little excited before. It's really because this incident is so irritating. For this matter, the residents of our community wrote a joint letter and contacted the government, the police, and various agencies. The provincial media, but when those people heard that they were AIDS patients, they didn’t dare to come forward at all.”

Finally, some media came to report this matter. As soon as they met, Uncle Huang complained bitterly to Nie Cai: "Unexpectedly, the last person to report it was our N City TV station. Back then, I loved watching "News at 8pm" the most. Every night at eight o'clock, I watch it with my wife who has already gone there. I really miss that time... "

The old man chattered nonchalantly, saying a lot of words, and seemed to be feeling a little emotional.

Nie Cai was filming with a camera. Seeing that the old man was getting further and further away, he quickly brought the topic back: "Uncle Huang, let's introduce what is going on?"

"Okay, old man, I've lived for half my life, and I've almost lived enough. I'm ready to find a wife, but I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing before I died! Listen to me..."

Uncle Huang took Nie Cai into the community, pointed to a huge pit next to the buildings in the community, and said angrily: "Look, this is the foundation dug by the real estate developer. Is there anyone who digs the foundation like this?" It hit the bottom of the building in our community. There is no support underneath. If it collapses, wouldn’t our building have to collapse? This is obviously trying to force us to leave!"

"The community we live in now has a certificate of property rights. This location is in the school district of a key primary school. You said that it would be fine if the Tang Group built a house for us properly, but what they gave us was a black-hearted house. No Without a land certificate, what will happen to the children going to school in the future, and how can we move?”

Uncle Huang took Nie Cai around the community while talking, and Nie Cai finally had a general understanding of the matter.

It turns out that the location of Quanzhou Community is right in the city center, which is considered to be in the school district of N City's No. 1 Experimental Primary School. This elementary school is the best elementary school in the entire n city. In order to attend this elementary school, many people have to buy a house in the school district even though they are struggling. The housing prices nearby have always been very high.

In fact, this Quanzhou community is very dilapidated, and transportation is inconvenient. The only advantage is the advantage of housing in this school district. Except for old people like Uncle Huang who are a little nostalgic, most people are actually willing to move out. .

But if the residents of Quanzhou Community move to a new building but cannot go to the No. 1 Experimental Primary School in City N because they don’t have a real estate certificate, it will be more of a loss than a gain.

No matter how hard it is, you can’t give up on your children, no matter how poor you are, you can’t give up on education. This is what most parents in the world think.

Uncle Huang told Nie Cai that in the first half of this year, because the demolition progress was lagging behind, after digging holes, setting off firecrackers, spray painting and other methods failed, Tang Group Company actually came up with another damaging trick.

I don’t know where they went to hire more than a dozen AIDS patients, and they moved into the community with great fanfare. They kept dogs in the community every day, which made people in the community panic.

This special demolition team immediately had an effect. There were thirty or forty households that originally refused to move. Now they were frightened by them, and most of them were scared out. Only a dozen households stayed to fight to the end, and Uncle Huang was one of them. one.

With that said, Uncle Huang led Nie Cai into the corridor of the community dormitory building and said with emotion: "To be honest, if they can solve the problem of housing in the school district for us, we will be willing even if the replacement compensation ratio is smaller, but back then Who is willing to move out if the building procedures are incomplete? My grandson is almost old enough to go to elementary school, and he is just waiting to go to an experimental elementary school!"

The replacement ratio and compensation amount can be negotiated, but if you are not even qualified for school district housing, how many people will be willing to negotiate

For the sake of their children, even if they are squeezed into such a small old house, they must go to the best school. How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!

He pointed to the row of houses on the first floor and said helplessly: "This is it. The Tang Group found a dozen AIDS patients from nowhere and forced them to live here. They called themselves the AIDS Demolition Team. We wanted to drive them away before. , but after they showed their AIDS certificate, no one dared to enter the corridor on the first floor of this unit."

Nie Cai followed his finger and indeed saw a row of houses with half-closed doorways in the dim corridor. Inside the corridor, the words "AIDS Demolition Team" were spray-painted in red everywhere, which looked shocking.

At the door of a house at the end, there is even a large-character plaque with the words "AIDS Demolition Project Office", which looks very eye-catching.

"Uncle Huang, I heard someone is coming?"

The resident on the second floor opened the door and asked Uncle Huang from the stairs.

"Yes, it's a reporter from City N's "8pm News". Everyone, come out and report the problem quickly!"

Uncle Huang nodded quickly and said.

When they heard that a reporter was coming, the residents in the dormitory building of the community all walked out of the door with a loud bang. Seven or eight residents stood on the stairs and began to complain one by one with one glance at each other.

"Someone is here to help the disadvantaged groups like us!"

"Yeah, I thought I just had to swallow my anger and sign the agreement. There are still good people in this world who are not afraid of power!"

"That's right, comrade reporter, you have to report this matter to us and give us justice!"

It seemed that someone was talking outside, and only a creaking sound was heard. In one of the houses, a skinny middle-aged man holding a dog stuck his head out and glanced at Nie Cai and Uncle Huang.

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and bared his teeth at Nie Cai: "Why are you making such a fuss? Move out quickly. We'll live here anyway. If you're not afraid of getting infected, just stay!"

After saying that, he tied the dog leash to the door, and then slammed the door shut, causing all the dust in the corridor to fall down.

Sensing the aura of the stranger, the ferocious-looking black wolfdog barked wildly, saliva dripping down, showing a threatening look.

"These are the people who raise dogs and disturb the people. They use big hammers to bang on the door of my house in the middle of the night. They have driven out most of the residents in the community and were forced to sign a relocation agreement!"

Uncle Huang said angrily and tilted his body. Fortunately, Nie Cai had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him, otherwise he would have fallen down on the spot.

No one noticed that in the crowd, a young man with a phone in his hand quietly dodged and dialed...

"Hey, is this the Tang Group's office? There's something going on at the Quanzhou construction site!"
