At around five o'clock in the evening, Xu Jinbo drove to the group and told the security department over the phone: "Don't have any friction with the other party. Whether they hold banners or shout slogans, we should ignore them and just maintain order on the scene."
"There are so many of them that they have blocked the hall..."
"Remember this, even if he shits in your mouth, you can't do anything, let alone any extreme behavior." Xu Jinbo gritted his teeth and said, "Once you do something, it's all over."
"Okay, I understand, Mr. Xu!"
"that's all."
After that, Xu Jinbo called the chief of the Shengli District Police Department in the car: "Hello, Heming!"
"Ah, go ahead."
"Have you received the report?" Xu Jinbo asked.
"Yes, yes."
"Oh, we need you to ask for help in this matter. There are more than a hundred people from these two associations, and we can't handle it." Xu Jinbo said softly.
"The Police Department has already sent someone over." The other director replied.
"Okay, okay, sorry for the trouble!"
After that, the two ended the call. Xu Jinbo cursed with a gloomy face: "Fuck, you're trying to play dirty tricks on me!"
…
Baolong Group Headquarters.
Zhang Taotao, the group's vice president, was called out of the small conference room. She had her hair tied up and asked with a beautiful face, "What's wrong?"
"Tongji Association and Changqing Company called over more than a hundred people and blocked the lobby downstairs." A senior executive whispered, "They are trying to make a big fuss."
Zhang Taotao frowned slightly: "Let the Security Department find social connections to solve it!"
"Xu Jinbo has returned, but it's unlikely that he can reach an agreement. He listened to Mr. Miao and is only prepared to give the other party a maximum compensation of 400,000 yuan." The executive whispered, "This obviously does not meet the psychological expectations of the association."
Zhang Taotao thought carefully for a long time and said, "This is a decision made by President Miao. It is not easy for us to comment. Let them handle it themselves."
"Would you like to give the president...?"
"I'm going to tell the president. Isn't that just snitching and creating conflict?" Zhang Taotao chuckled and replied, "I don't know how many people in the group wanted to make this call. I won't take credit for it."
"Too."
"Work as normal, don't pay attention to it." Zhang Taotao said, turned around and left.
…
downstairs.
The security members of Baolong Group have lined up to block the entrances to each corridor to ensure the normal operation of the work area.
Inside the hall, people from the two major associations in Zhanan District did not make a scene or roll around, but just held up a dozen large banners and shouted for compensation.
Su Tiannan stood in the corner with an expressionless face, holding the intercom and asked: "Has the police department's car come out?"
"Here they are. There are more than a dozen cars."
"I still say the same thing. Don't panic when the police officers come, but don't make a fuss either. I will take care of everything." Su Tiannan replied.
"clear!"
The two ended the call, and Su Tiannan walked over to Ermao and asked softly, "What is the attitude of the new president of your Changqing Labor Union?"
“Brother Feng talked to him on the phone. At first, the president didn’t want us to make a fuss together, but Brother Feng put him in the position of the spiritual leader of the union… He was a little embarrassed.” Ermao chuckled and replied: “The workers are always right, so the president can only support it. This is politically correct!”
Su Tiannan nodded: "Your brother Feng has thoroughly understood Buddhism."
"The one I admire the most is my brother Feng. Whenever something happens, he goes to jail, and when the matter is over, he comes out just in time. That's right!" Ermao also expressed his admiration.
…
upstairs.
After Zhang Taotao finished a meeting with her senior executives, she returned to her office with a cup of coffee.
"Mr. Zhang, there are signs that public opinion is growing about the mining accident." The secretary came over and said softly.
"Yeah?"
"Yes, take a look at the news." The secretary put his laptop on the desk.
Zhang Taotao bent down and sat down, picked up a piece of dessert on the table, and ate while browsing the news.
Seven or eight online media platforms were all pushing news about the latest news on the mining accident.
"The bodies of the miners who died in the accident are still warm, but their families have no way to appeal!"
"Why was the compensation of 980,000 yuan reduced to 350,000 yuan?"
"The living conditions of the miners' families: where is the warmth of humanity after the disaster?"
“…!”
A series of news pushes quickly caused a small-scale fermentation on the online media platform.
Zhang Taotao frowned as she stared at the computer screen, and whispered to her secretary, "This copy is very targeted! It doesn't mention our Baolong Group much, but it portrays us as profiteering."
"Mr. Zhang, you said Yang Decheng...?!"
"Mr. Miao has the final say on the mining side. He will have a way to deal with the public opinion." Zhang Taotao replied calmly and closed her notebook directly: "Yu Mingyuan, Su Tianyu... these two people are really smart."
…
In the urban area.
Miao Ziwei sat in the car and sneered, "They really are shameless! They are playing with the capital to control public opinion. They don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
"Look here...?"
"The more they make trouble, the less I will pay them." Miao Ziwei immediately replied: "Notify the group's public relations department to quickly reduce public opinion. If necessary, you can notify the regulator. Before 12 o'clock tonight, I want to see the backlash of public opinion."
"clear!"
…
One hour later.
All online media platforms that reprinted news about the mining disaster suddenly fell silent and deleted posts. The speed of the cleanup was astonishing. In some search engines, even the word "mining disaster" was blocked.
Another half hour.
The public relations department of Baolong Group quickly compiled the information about the shooting of mining security personnel in Lufeng, and completed a video interview with the security chief in a very short time.
Late at night, the press release of Baolong Group directly reached more than 60 percent of Longcheng City’s self-media, official media, online media and other platforms.
《Explosion! Big reversal! When Baolong Mining was negotiating compensation with Tongji Association and Changqing Company, Lu Feng, the manager of Changqing Company's branch, actually shot and injured people, crippling innocent security personnel》
"The security guard has been hospitalized and the Lufeng case is under trial!"
"Changqing Company and Tongji Association have been repeatedly suspected of participating in illegal and disorderly activities. Are they trade union organizations or H-related gangs?!"
With the help of capital, public opinion reversed almost instantly. No one mentioned the incident in which Lu Feng was held at gunpoint. They only said that he snatched the gun and injured an innocent security guard.
Miao Ziwei got out of the car at the back door of Baolong Group, and walked quickly while watching the news on his phone: "More than a hundred people is an illegal gathering. Let the Shengli District Police Department quickly identify who is the leader of the riot. I'll detain dozens of people in a row. Let's see who dares to make trouble again!"
…
Inside the Kiwanis Club headquarters.
Zhou Tonghui looked at Su Tianyu and said, "Baolong Group is covering up the issue too quickly. Should I find some friends in District 1 to spread the news?"
Su Tianyu waved his hand: "It's useless. External news will definitely not enter Longcheng, and doing so will affect the image of the municipal government. We can't be stupid enough to offend everyone."
"What should we do then?"
"Don't panic," Su Tianyu said softly, "This is just the beginning."
