Baolong Mining Company, in Yang Decheng’s office.
Su Tianbei held Lao Yang down with hatred and punched him on the head more than a dozen times, causing blood to flow from the latter's nose.
At the door, the security personnel and company management who had just rushed in originally wanted to step forward to separate the fight, but when they saw Lu Feng holding a gun and looking at them with murderous eyes, they became timid.
It is one thing if the gun did not fire, but it is another thing if the gun fired. No one can tell for sure whether Lu Feng can fire a third shot.
Lu Feng glanced at everyone, sat down on the sofa with a relaxed posture, frowned and said: "I have nothing to say to you bastards, and even if I say it, you can't make the decision. So, you call the upper level and say that Tongji Association and Changqing Company are here to demand compensation. If you don't give it, we will kill you."
The management leader standing at the door was relieved upon hearing this and replied fiercely: "Just wait!"
…
Five minutes later.
At the Baolong Group headquarters, the beautiful vice president Zhang Taotao stood up and said to the secretary, "Notify Mr. Miao, who is in charge of the mining industry, and Mr. Yang, who is in charge of the development department. Let's have a meeting in the small conference room. There is a problem at the mining company."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang!"
After saying that, Zhang Taotao picked up her slim-fit suit jacket and quickly left the office.
After a while, Zhang Taotao walked into the small meeting room next to the president's office with a cup of coffee in her hand.
In the small conference room, Miao Ziwei, vice president of Baolong Group, and the manager of the development department, had already taken their seats with seven or eight senior executives.
Let me briefly introduce Miao Ziwei. He is the half brother of the president of Baolong Group. He is 29 years old this year. After graduating from a university in District 1, he joined his brother's company. After three years of training at the grassroots level and one year of experience in management, he was eventually promoted to the position of vice president and currently owns a certain amount of shares in Baolong Group.
Apart from Zhang Taotao, Miao Ziwei should be the youngest shareholder of the board of directors of Baolong Group and the vice president of the group. However, some people say that Miao Ziwei is holding shares on behalf of others because his father has a huge network of connections in District 1, so the shareholders of the group will approve this.
Miao Ziwei also looks very handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has a bit of Chinese-European descent, so judging from his appearance alone, he is definitely a young, promising, tall, rich and handsome man.
After Zhang Taotao entered the conference room, she found a random seat and sat down. She didn't exchange pleasantries with the crowd, but got straight to the point: "The mining company had some conflicts with its subordinate cooperative union over compensation issues, and I heard that guns were used. The decision makers from the mining industry are here, so let's talk about this briefly."
"Yes, I heard about it too. Lao Yang's deputy called me." Miao Ziwei frowned and replied, "Personally, I think there's nothing to talk about. Shooting and injuring people, we just need to report it to the police and go through the legal procedures."
Zhang Taotao paused and said, "It's fine to go through the legal process, but how do we handle the compensation? I've also learned about the mining company's situation. The people in the legal department said that the insurance company won't pay the compensation. We can only resolve the dispute through a lawsuit, but the chances of winning are actually very small because the insurance policy is indeed not within the effective date. In this case, the compensation issue may have to be borne by our company itself."
Miao Ziwei took a sip of coffee and said, "The mining company is all about cash flow, and the capital chain is very tight. If we take out more than 100 million yuan for compensation, the group will have to inject capital into the mining industry again, which will cause a series of chain reactions. My idea is to pay less first, take 10 or 20 million yuan first, send the workers away, and relieve the pressure from the municipal government. We can delay the remaining money for a while."
"The payment is slow, what if the workers sue?" Zhang Taotao communicated directly with the other party, without saying a word of nonsense from beginning to end: "We also have to consider the factor of the union. They will definitely not tolerate us dragging it out for too long, otherwise this would not happen today."
Miao Ziwei smiled when he heard this: "Suing is the most ideal result! I wish they would sue us."
The manager of the development department nearby also agreed with a smile, "Suing is a good idea. The mining company will respond in the first round, and the general group will respond in the second round. It will take at least two to three years to go through the two rounds. By then, the financial pressure on our mining industry will definitely be relieved, and we will pay according to the verdict. In this way, we don't have to pay the 10 or 20 million yuan in advance compensation now, which saves money, haha! Just think of it this way, if you borrow more than 100 million yuan from the bank, how much interest will you have to pay in three years?! Apart from the cost of losing the case and the late payment fee, we have almost no additional loss."
"This will have an impact on the company's image." Zhang Taotao reminded.
"The negative impact cannot be solved at present. No matter how you explain it, a mining accident has happened, it is a stain on the company. Compared with this, the late arrival of compensation and the lawsuit are nothing." Miao Ziwei spread his hands and replied: "Besides, we are not saying that we will not pay compensation. The main thing is that there is a three-party dispute in this matter. The insurance company does not recognize it, so we have to appeal, right? Didn't we pay a part of the insurance premium before the workers joined the company? I didn't say that I would ignore the workers, right? From a neutral point of view, we are also victims and the loss party."
Zhang Taotao fell silent after hearing this.
"Also, I am disgusted by what the Tongji Association and Changqing Company did." Miao Ziwei frowned. "It was less than two days after the mine accident, and they followed us around and demanded money. If we didn't give them money, they would shoot and kill people. Damn, if this isn't a gangster organization, what is it?! I tell you, Mr. Zhang, the more you indulge this kind of organization, the more ignorant they become! Just based on the fact that they shot and injured people in the mining company, I will not give them the compensation so easily. Let the family members of the workers go to their headquarters to make trouble, and I will crush them to death."
Zhang Taotao frowned slightly and said bluntly: "Nine hundred and eighty thousand yuan per person is indeed a bit too much, because that is the maximum amount of insurance compensation, which is a theoretical figure, but we can discuss with the cooperative unions below and renegotiate the amount of compensation. If they are willing to take less, then pay it as soon as possible to restore the company's image. I think it is still quite cost-effective. Of course, their shooting and injuring people is absolutely intolerable, and I also agree with the official..."
"I really don't have any money, Mr. Zhang!" Miao Ziwei shook his head: "The mining area will have to be shut down for at least a few months, right? The losses are increasing and decreasing, and the capital chain of the mining industry has exceeded the red line. If we take out another 100 million, this hole will not be filled."
Zhang Taotao said no more, because she had seen that Miao Ziwei didn't want to touch the mining company's money. And Yang Decheng was also his man. Tongji Association and Changqing Company did this, which indirectly angered Miao Ziwei.
After the two sides finished their discussion, Zhang Taotao stopped trying to persuade them. She just stood up and said, "Then let's do as you think."
"Okay." Miao Ziwei also stood up: "Mr. Zhang, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"Haha, forget it. I haven't dealt with the matter with Lao Pang yet." Zhang Taotao smiled, turned and left.
Miao Ziwei stood in the small conference room, turned around and said to the development manager: "Report the case and hold them criminally responsible."

On the road back to Longcheng, Su Tianyu shouted to Dabai: "The rain has stopped, we can go now, we can go now!"
