In the afternoon, Su Tianyu squeezed out some time to go back to the Zhanan Coast Guard. After the civil service exam, a large number of new police officers have joined the force. The Coast Guard held a special oath-taking ceremony and a welcome ceremony. Gou Liuzi couldn't ask for leave this time and had to be there.
The oath-taking ceremony lasted for three or four hours and ended at around five in the evening. When the second half of the welcome ceremony began, Su Tianyu signed in and saw that there was nothing else to do. The rest was just socializing, so he did not stay to drink, but found an opportunity to slip away.
At 6:30 in the evening, Su Tianyu went to the Longcheng Police Department Hospital and met Wei Xiangzuo, who had been released on medical parole. The two talked for about half an hour.
"That's settled then. We'll call to discuss later." Su Tianyu sat on the chair and said to Wei Xiangzuo, "I have a dinner party later."
"Yes." Wei Xiangzuo nodded: "You should get out as soon as possible. It's worse than being in a kiln. It's too boring. My butt is sore from lying there."
"Okay, I'll say hello to Li Yuan later."
"that's all."
After saying that, Su Tianyu walked away, went downstairs and called Yu Mingyuan: "What did you say?"
"A deputy director of the security department of Baolong Group invited us to dinner," Yu Mingyuan frowned and said, "Why don't we go together?"
Su Tianyu paused and said, "Okay, let's meet and talk."
The two ended the call, Yu Mingyuan sent an address to Su Tianyu, and the latter drove there alone.
…
At around 7:40 in the evening, Yu Mingyuan, Su Tiannan and Su Tianyu met at a hotel in Longcheng Shengli District.
After the three of them met up, they walked towards the hotel lobby together. On the way, Yu Mingyuan quietly introduced the person they were going to meet: "The person you are going to meet is called Xu Jinbo. He is the deputy director of the security department of Baolong Group. He is not from the mining industry. He is probably in his forties. I heard that he also ran a private armed force in the war zone. Later, he followed his big brother and joined Baolong Group. He is mainly responsible for the security issues of the group's subordinate industries."
Su Tianyu understood immediately and replied bluntly: "It is to escort Baolong Group's business outside the district?"
"Yes." Yu Mingyuan nodded and replied: "Outside the district, they are very powerful. Some of the gray industries and pharmaceutical industries of Baolong Group are connected to warlords and regional armed forces. They can open up relationships in various regions, which is enough to show the ability of this group of people."
"I understand." Su Tianyu nodded.
While chatting, the three of them took the elevator to the 6th floor and entered the restaurant box where Xu Jinbo and others were.
"Hey, Xiao Yu, right?" A sturdy middle-aged man with a shaved head and a mountaineering suit stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand. "I called Lao Wen, and he said you were very busy. I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to meet you today! Haha, I hope I didn't delay your work?"
The middle-aged man called Wen Zhanbo "Old Wen", which shows that this person has a lot of energy in Longcheng. Of course, it is also possible that he deliberately promoted himself and chose such a name.
But objectively speaking, the security department of Baolong Group does have some weight. Because the current situation is not like peacetime, as the industry grows, many troubles will naturally come to the door.
For example, if Baolong Mining spotted minerals in a certain area of South Africa and obtained a mining license, would they be able to successfully organize workers to dig and mine
That's definitely impossible. There's a chaotic war going on over there. There are a series of powerful elements including ethnic armed forces, special tribes, and gang-related organizations. If they see such a piece of fat meat approaching, how can they feel balanced if they don't take advantage of it
At this time, the group's security department needs to come forward to mediate and settle the matter, so not everyone can do this job. First of all, they need to have a wide network of contacts, secondly, they must have their own armed forces outside the area, and they must also be smart and able to handle difficult incidents.
From the perspective of Baolong Group, today's dinner was considered to be giving enough face to Tongji Association. After all, the deputy minister showed up.
Inside the box, everyone exchanged a few words of greeting and then took their seats.
When Xu Jinbo saw the food and wine on the table, he immediately raised a glass and said, "I have diabetes and can't drink much. Let's just have a small symbolic drink."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Xu for the hospitality." Yu Mingyuan raised his glass.
Xu Jinbo said it was just a symbolic drink, and he was not being polite. He just brought the cup to his lips and took a sip, then smiled and said to Yu Mingyuan: "Brother Yu, I want to see you today because of something."
"Yes, you said!" Yu Mingyuan put down the half-drunk glass of white wine and nodded expressionlessly.
Xu Jinbo sighed and said, "Alas, a mine disaster has happened. No one wants to see this. It is understandable that everyone is angry. After all, the people who were hurt are your people."
Yu Mingyuan did not respond to this question.
"I heard from Lao Yang that you guys went to the mining company and started a fight." Xu Jinbo continued, "Brother, let's talk about this in private. This is a bit too much."
When Su Tiannan heard this, he frowned slightly.
"But since it has happened, there is no point in talking about it now." Xu Jinbo looked at Yu Mingyuan and added: "Let's focus on solving the problem."
"Mr. Xu, our demand is very simple. Someone died, so we need compensation," Yu Mingyuan replied.
"I agree with this statement, but how much compensation should be paid and how it should be paid are still open to discussion." Xu Jinbo whispered, "It's not easy for any company to come up with 100 million in cash at once!"
"So what do you mean?"
"We need to lower the compensation amount." Xu Jinbo's expression turned serious when he said this: "You are also involved in the union and the company. You should know better than anyone that the theoretical maximum insurance compensation is different from the actual situation. Even if the insurance policy is effective, the insurance company may not really compensate you 980,000 yuan?! The level of the mine accident, whether there are any mistakes in the individual operation, and whether the miners who died fully complied with the safety operation requirements of the mine, all of these need to be verified!"
After a long silence, Yu Mingyuan asked bluntly: "Then how much compensation should I pay?"
"I think 350,000 is a reasonable number." Xu Jinbo looked directly at Yu Mingyuan and replied, "If we can negotiate this amount, I can apply to the higher-ups to transfer the full amount of compensation to your association's account within a month."
…
Zhanan District, Tufang Street slum.
Two cars stopped, and a retired deputy district chief who was very prestigious in the district, accompanied by several men in suits, walked into the home of a miner who had died in the accident.
