Xu Jinbo picked up the red wine glass, took a sip and said, "If something happens, we have to settle it. So many people died, and you don't want to pay a penny. That's impossible. Spend the money to avoid disaster."
"Alas, Lao Pang's accident has really frightened me." Yang Decheng was too lazy to talk about compensation. He just turned around and asked him, "Have you found out anything? Do you know who kidnapped him?"
"We haven't found out yet." Xu Jinbo shook his head: "Xiao Hu has left the area, and we are investigating."
Having said this, the two fell silent.
"Oh, by the way. I promised the Tongji Association that if they can settle the matter with the workers, you will pay them another two million and give them a red envelope to make them look decent." Xu Jinbo reminded.
"They shot and injured someone in my company, and I'm giving them a red envelope? Dream on!" Yang Decheng frowned and replied, "I won't give a penny to the association."
"Haha." Xu Jinbo smiled and said, "Please don't create problems for me, okay? If you are so tough, then go and talk to them. I just don't want to get involved in this matter."
Hearing this, Yang Decheng raised his glass in an upset tone: "400,000 per person, that should settle the matter, right?"
"almost."
"Okay, I understand."
"Come, have a sip." Xu Jinbo picked up the glass and said, "Oh, it's only two million. If you don't have to support two little stars, won't you save everything?"
…
That evening.
Su Tianyu and Su Tiannan met with Lu Feng's brother Ermao in the car. After talking for two or three hours, they went their separate ways.
On the second day, at around nine o'clock in the morning, the Tongji Association's management held a meeting at Yu's Villa.
Su Tianyu sat on the sofa and intervened, saying, "The amount of compensation that Baolong Mining is willing to bear is very different from our psychological expectations. Since we can't reach an agreement on this matter, we have to make a fuss."
Everyone nodded.
Su Tianyu turned his head and looked at Zhou Tonghui who came back with him. Dabai said, "You two should contact the media and go to the homes of the deceased workers to interview them this afternoon. Record their living environment and poverty level truthfully. If we want to do this, we must push the mining accident further into the public eye and arouse public opinion."
"Okay!" Zhou Tonghui nodded.
Su Tianyu turned his head and looked at Su Tiannan again: "Public opinion guidance is only part of the effort. To truly influence the final result, we still need our own strength. After lunch, you go find Ermao and lead others to launch a counterattack according to last night's plan."
"Okay!" Su Tiannan nodded.
After Su Tianyu briefly explained his thoughts, he glanced at his watch and said, "I have to report to the Coast Guard today, and Brother Yuan has to go to the Environmental Sanitation Administration to look for old connections to prevent Baolong Company from starting from here and causing trouble for us later. So everyone, please take your positions and call us anytime if you have anything to say."
Everyone stood up. Su Tianyu stretched out his hand and said concisely: "Our ultimate goal is to help the workers get compensation this time, but we have a deeper appeal. That is to take this opportunity to let Tongji Association enter the public eye and accumulate word of mouth. This fight will not produce results within a few days, but we must be united. In the end, no matter whether Changqing Company can hold on or not, we must fight to the end!"
"Dry!"
"Go damn it!"
“…!”
After shouting like crazy, they left.
…
Around 1:30 pm.
In the office compound of the Zhanan branch of Changqing Company, a half-broken truck came to a standstill. A group of men in black clothes and cloth shoes pulled out knives, guns, sticks and clubs from the truck bed.
"Hurry up! If they don't obey, we'll start fighting. We'll even kill the ants that are working in the mine area..."
"Get him and it's over!"
“…!”
A group of rough men, holding knives, guns, sticks and clubs, looked very imposing.
Ma Ermao, the leader of Lu Feng's men, came out of the main building and yelled, "What are you doing?"
"Aren't we going to attack Baolong Mining?" the man leading the team replied.
Ermao went up and slapped him: "What the hell! We are a legal association, a legal company. We should be polite and courteous in our work. We should express our demands reasonably and not act recklessly."
"Oh!" The man touched his bald head.
"You can't bring any of these things. No one can carry weapons on their person." Ermao shouted to the people in the yard: "Our purpose must be to help the miners who died in the accident to get compensation. This is a collective action of the union. Everyone should be civilized and polite. Don't make noise when entering the site, and collect all the garbage when leaving the site!"
Everyone looked at Ermao in bewilderment: "Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to deal with Yang Decheng? Why did you change your mind today?"
"The brains of the Tongji Society are back. He organized this thing." Ermao yawned and said, "Just listen to him. He is always mean when it comes to this kind of thing. Brother Feng also talked to the police station and said that this guy is really good at disgusting people..."
"That bastard from Zhannan?!"
"How can you talk like that? We are teammates now, you have to call him Officer Su!"
"I called Officer Su a few times. He stabbed me in the head twice last time!" The young man said indignantly: "Okay, I'll do what you say!"
…
In a commercial vehicle in the Tufang Street slums.
Zhou Tonghui sat in the passenger seat and said to a man in a suit and tie, "They are not pretending to be poor, they are really poor, and every household is in great difficulty..."
"I know. We can take the job for three hundred thousand." The man in a suit replied with a smile.
Zhou Tonghui blinked his eyes and said, "We just need to record their living conditions truthfully. In addition, I require that it must be fermented on various media platforms within three hours."
"No problem, three hundred thousand," the man in a suit nodded and said, "You can pay a deposit of sixty thousand first."
"Okay." Zhou Tonghui responded and called Kong Zhenghui directly: "Transfer the money!"
At around 3:00 p.m., seven or eight online media reporters entered the slum with equipment and interviewed the families of the five miners who died.
…
In the evening, half past four.
More than a hundred people gathered at the Baolong Group headquarters. Su Tiannan waved his hand and shouted, "Don't make noise, don't hit people, don't argue with them, wait for them to make the first move."
"clear!"
Everyone nodded.
Five minutes later, Jiushu's youngest daughter, holding her father's posthumous photo, walked into the group hall with more than a hundred people.
At the same time, Xu Jinbo, who was attending a banquet at a hotel, received a call: "Impossible! I have already talked to the people from Tongji Club, and they promised to go back and discuss it with the workers' families!"
Coders Association.
Gu Baishun sat on the chair and asked in surprise: "The Tongji Club is really making a fuss?!"
"Yes. More than a hundred people went to the Baolong Group headquarters, more than a hundred people went to the mining company, and sixty to seventy people went to the mining area." A middle-aged man smiled and replied, "They are really going to fight with Baolong!"
