Zhadao Prison, Ward A, in the washroom on the sixth floor.
Su Tiannan stood in the corner with his head buzzing and a little frightened. He couldn't understand the ridicule of the white and black criminals, nor did he understand what they meant.
Wherever Su Tiannan looked, all he saw were prisoners who were at least half a head taller and stronger than himself. They had playful expressions and no kindness in their eyes.
Su Tiannan huddled in the corner, his anger and fear growing even worse. He was like a tiger cub falling into a pack of lions, looking around, feeling lonely and helpless.
"Hey! Brother, I need you to wash my hands!" The black suspect patted Su Tiannan's head with his big palm and said jokingly in English that the other party couldn't understand at all: "I see, you have a pair of gentle hands!"
“Bang!”
Su Tiannan knocked the other person's arm away, raised his head and looked at the tall criminal, then turned around and was about to leave.
"Oh, look at him, he's as skinny as a monkey, and he actually dared to ignore my orders! He humiliated me, brothers!" The black man grabbed Su Tiannan's collar by the back of his neck: "We need to tell him the rules here!"
It was not known whether Miao Ziwei had greeted the people here and the prisoners were intentionally targeting Su Tiannan, or whether the prisoners here were simply bullying the newcomers. In any case, the eldest brother was dragged by six people and entered the bathing area in a miserable state.
The plastic bathtub fell to the ground, and the towels, toothbrush holder and other items inside were scattered all over the floor, but the toothbrush handle was missing.
"Oooooh!"
The crowd watching the fun all followed to the bathing area and blocked the entrance!
Five seconds later.
A scream was heard from the bathroom.
Half a minute later, screams one after another spread throughout the washroom.
…
Half a month passed in a flash.
The outspoken faction represented by Baolong Group and Huihong Pharmaceutical, and the outspoken faction represented by Li Mingsheng, finally completed the final negotiations under the table.
Let’s first talk about the issue of the division of mining assets. At the beginning, Zhang Taotao proposed the condition that Baolong Group would own 60% of the shares of the mineral and donate the remaining 40% to the Longcheng Municipal Government free of charge, so that both parties could jointly develop this resource.
But as soon as this condition was proposed, it was rejected by Li Mingsheng's team. They used the mining accident as an excuse to say that Baolong Mining's brand had been completely ruined, and its image among the people and public opinion was very bad, so it would be impossible for it to be approved to operate.
In this round of negotiations, Li Mingsheng's team did not mention how much bargaining chips they wanted, but just kept magnifying Baolong's dark history.
In this case, Zhang Taotao is not a fool. After two rounds of bargaining, the two sides finally decided on the cutting result.
1. Baolong Group holds 40% of the mining company's shares. 2. Longcheng municipal units hold 20% of the shares. The annual dividends generated by these 20% of shares are directly managed by the Municipal Finance Bureau and invested in people's livelihood reconstruction. The funds are used for specific purposes and no one is allowed to touch them. 3. The remaining 40% of the shares were finally acquired by an institution called Hanhua Financial Company for one million yuan.
For mining companies, this one million is just a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning at all.
Therefore, this acquisition price is obviously symbolic and is the result of Baolong Group's compromise.
This Hanhua Financial Company was established eight years ago, but has never had any actual business. It does not even have an office space. It is just an empty shell. However, during the negotiations between the two parties, it received three waves of funds, with a total amount of up to 150 million.
Is Hanhua Financial Company a private fund set up by Li Mingsheng
In fact, it was not the case. He originally wanted to use all the dividends from the 60% equity to improve the people's livelihood in Longcheng, but Ouyang Zhen came from District 1 and directly took 40% away, saying that the upper management was preparing to inject capital into Hanhua Group, thereby indirectly controlling and supervising the direction of Longcheng's important mining resources.
When Li Mingsheng heard this request, he was so angry that he had a big quarrel with Ouyang Zhen, but in the end he was no match for Ouyang Zhen.
Ouyang Zhen only said one sentence to Li Mingsheng: "Do you understand why the higher-ups put you here? It's not for bargaining! The Supervision Commission is in charge, the Mining Group is in charge, and Island No. 7 is in charge. The higher-ups are supporting you, so shouldn't you give something in return?"
Li Mingsheng was speechless for a long time, and finally said only one sentence: "Okay, I admit it. What's the situation, just say it!"
At this point, the issue of mining assets was completely resolved. Li Mingsheng's team appeared to have won completely, but the real big profits were all taken away by the Chinese bosses at the top of the party.
The second negotiation was about the ownership of personnel appointment rights in important departments of Longcheng and the conflicts arising from Island No. 7.
The two sides went back and forth many times and finally reached a consensus.
To sum it up simply, the appointment of department-level cadres and deputy-department-level cadres in some judicial departments in Longcheng can be discussed and decided by municipal units.
In other words, Li Mingsheng can directly decide the heads of the district police stations, the coast guard station, and a series of other judicial departments, and whoever he appoints will do the job.
However, the appointment of leaders at the actual department level cannot be decided by the municipal units themselves. They must meet with the regulatory committee for discussion and consultation. In the event of differences of opinion, the result can be determined by voting.
This result seems absurd. If a mayor cannot even appoint the leader of the department under his nose, isn't he just a puppet
In fact, this is not the case, because in the past, the main cadres of each district department and municipal bureau in Longcheng almost all had to get the approval of the Supervisory Committee, and the result of this game has far exceeded Lao Li's expectations. This is equivalent to cutting off half of the power of the Supervisory Committee in one fell swoop, and he can also slowly infiltrate the personnel of various units.
In addition, the result of resolving the conflict on Island No. 7 is also very simple. Three or five years later, if the mining group is successfully listed, its revenue is stable, and there are no major conflicts between the two parties, then Li Mingsheng's team will return the terminal data and promise not to disclose the matter, and the other party must also return Su Tiannan.
As for Karl, he was not included in the negotiations. Because of his high position, he was placed under house arrest in Longcheng as a bargaining chip. He would not be sentenced and no one would criticize him.
As for Wang Zhen, he will be executed after trial!
…
The sixth day of negotiations ended.
Tongji Association held the second expansion meeting. In this expansion meeting, the association absorbed Fei Guangtou's group and some social backbones, such as Hou Guoyu, Captain Fang Zheng of the Coast Guard, Director Cheng, Mayor's Secretary Li Yuan and others...
At this meeting, the number of registered members of Tongji Club expanded to more than 8,000, and many people with certain social status joined. Even Wen Xiaorou, An Qiqi, Wawa and others officially joined the club.
At this point, the association has slowly broken through from a purely grassroots organization to the upper levels!
The meeting is over.
More than a hundred people appeared in front of the gate of the Tongji Society. Yu Mingyuan sat in the center, and on the left and right sides sat Su Tianyu, Kong Zhenghui, Zhou Tonghui, Su Tianbei, Bai Hongbo, Fei Guangtou, Hou Guoyu, Lao Hei, and dozens of backbone members of the society.
The photographer walked to the front, waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone gather together!"
In the crowd, Kong Zhenghui endured for a long time, then suddenly turned to Su Tianbei and said, "When are you free to have a drink?!"
Su Tianbei glanced at him and said, "After I finish this, I'll go to your house to see the old man!"
“Haha, okay!”
The two of them straightened their heads and smiled.
“Crack!”
The photographer pressed the shutter button.
…
Three months later.
Inside Zhadao Prison, Zhang Taotao stood in the dark visiting room, hugging her shoulders and waiting quietly.
After a long time, the sound of an iron chain rubbing against the ground was heard, and a young man appeared behind the glass window after shouting a report in unfluent English.
Zhang Taotao looked up at the young man and was suddenly stunned.
Su Tiannan had a shiny shaved head, with seven or eight finger-long scars of varying sizes on his scalp. There was a sutured wound more than ten centimeters long from the center of his chin to the back of his neck.
Zhang Taotao didn't know why he became like this.
Su Tiannan picked up the phone, and the little finger and ring finger of his right hand were completely broken: "Long time no see!"
His voice was steady and his eyes were extremely calm, so calm that they were completely different from when he was outside.
…
In Longcheng, a newly planned mining area, Gu Baishun, wearing worn-out clothes, was directing a team of more than 300 miners to build sheds.
Gu Baishun was active and dedicated in the incident on Island No. 7, so Lao Li gave him a sweet treat and let him participate in mining development. Although it was only a very small job, this was also the beginning of Gu Baishun's journey!
