That night, Kong Zhenghui, Liu Laoer, and Bai Hongbo sat at the Su's house until after 11 o'clock in the evening. After discussing all the follow-up matters, they left together.
The next morning, all the workers from Su, Liu, Bai and Kong went on strike. The streets were not cleaned in the early morning, and the garbage was not collected at night according to regulations. The sanitation system of the entire Zhannan District was almost paralyzed. Except for the people from Changqing Company and several small companies who were still working, more than 65% of the workers were "on holiday."
The sanitation system was only down for one day, which did not attract the public's attention, let alone the internal fighting of the dirty gangs. But for the management committee responsible for this matter, this was a major event that could not be ignored, so the management committee cadres in charge of Zhannan District held an emergency meeting early in the morning.
Let’s not talk about the infighting and verbal battles among the upper echelons, and just talk about how much the four families of Su, Liu, Bai and Kong paid in planning this strike.
First of all, the wage issue during the workers' strike must be resolved by the company, and the workers who take the lead in inciting the strike must also get their own benefits, so distributing money is inevitable.
Secondly, the strike is a double-edged sword, because once you do it, you will not only be confronting the Changqing Company, but also the police department, the upper management, and even the district government. Because the four companies incited workers to make trouble and create mass incidents, it means causing great trouble to the upper management, so the four companies have also increased their risks. In other words, if the strike does not produce a positive result, a series of hidden dangers in the future will be fatal.
To put it simply, when the Su, Liu, Bai and Kong families were unable to get out of the predicament, they chose to go all in, and the person who pushed this matter was Su Tianyu, who had just arrived in Longcheng.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, the core members of the four families of Su, Liu, Bai and Kong took the lead and went to the headquarters of the Environmental Sanitation Management Committee of Zhannan District, where 300 to 400 people sat in protest. The slogan was that Changqing Company was engaging in illegal monopoly and leaving no way for grassroots workers to survive.
In this way, the four companies put Changqing Company on the fire, because this is not a place with a stable political situation and a healthy political structure. The political and social environment of Longcheng is extremely complex and deformed. More than 20 years ago, when the end of the world was not completely over, there were nine major living areas in the world, and the Chinese, because of their strong infrastructure capabilities, were the first to adapt to the end of the world environment, so they occupied the three major living areas of the Asian Alliance.
After people gradually adapted to the disaster, even more terrible man-made disasters came. Many people with outstanding abilities and ambitions took advantage of the coming of the end of the world to rise up, integrate resources, control the political system, and become contemporary warlords who control huge resources.
Where there is division, there is naturally unification. After decades of development, the three major Chinese regions were the first to complete unification. The defeated warlord political parties had connections with overseas forces and attempted to make a comeback, so when they fled to the overseas region, they took with them millions of troops, military families, elites, and civilians. These people went into exile overseas and gradually settled down under the political system of the first region of the European Union, thus forming the current Dragon City, which is mainly populated by overseas Chinese.
When Dragon City was first built, the government of EU Zone 1 wanted to manage it directly, but after several years of exploration, they found that they could not effectively manage these overseas Chinese. Because these people have a low sense of belonging to the government of Zone 1, and some policies will be criticized for discrimination, division, human rights and other issues before they are implemented, and all of them will be discussed openly, which is very troublesome.
The results were not satisfactory, so the first zone of the European Union made a wise choice to let overseas Chinese manage overseas Chinese. Therefore, the current political system of Longcheng is that the Chinese hold the core power, but they are under the supervision of the first zone government. In other words, I don't care how you do it normally, but when something big happens, you still have to get the approval of the top leaders of the first zone government.
This is convenient and effective. Facts have proved that Longcheng has developed rapidly in recent years. Many Chinese from all over the world have moved here, thinking that there is gold everywhere and opportunities to make a name for themselves. However, in this political environment, most overseas Chinese civil servants also feel that they are working for foreigners, so corruption is rampant, public security is chaotic, violent organizations are growing, and various political parties are also trying to seize power. The current situation is very similar to a port city in the 1950s and 1960s that has not yet returned home.
Therefore, as long as this internal fighting incident does not ferment on a large scale, the upper management and government departments will not bother to intervene. However, if it creates a large-scale mass incident and is noticed by the upper-level regulatory authorities, there will still be some trouble.
This is why Changqing Company was also very uncomfortable when the four companies went on strike. If it was a stable era, whoever dared to take the lead in this matter would definitely be in trouble. But now the power distribution in Longcheng is very complicated, and there are many factions within the management committee. Once the matter gets out of hand, how will it be resolved
…
One o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Hongze, the boss of Changqing Company, took his luxury car to a high-end apartment in Longkou District. In a 400-square-meter mansion, he met Zheng Fuan, the head of the Environmental Sanitation Management Committee and Zhanan District.
In the restaurant, Zheng Fuan ate a lunch of mainly green vegetables and said softly, "Old Li, a strike for one day is fine, and it's fine for a week, but if there is no end time, then there will be problems."
Li Hongze crossed his legs and frowned as he said, "The four families are making a scene together, which is indeed a bit noisy."
"I just came up and something happened in Zhannan. This is easy to cause gossip." Zheng Fuan drank rice porridge and said, "I have two suggestions for you: First, if you can't suppress this matter, then let the leaders of the four families go and take a long-term view of this matter; second, if you have a quick and effective way, then solve the problem as soon as possible."
"The plates are all ready. It will cost us a lot to set up the game, so let's give it a try." Li Hongze replied.
"Then deal with it as soon as possible." Zheng Fuan nodded.
Half an hour later, Li Hongze left Zheng Fuan's home and returned to his company.
In the conference room, a dozen men in suits with unfriendly faces were talking to each other.
"What do you think?" Li Hongze asked while smoking.
Lu Feng, who was on IV drip, replied simply, "Strike, huh? Then I'll beat up whoever takes the lead. I don't believe that these three or four thousand workers are willing to risk their lives for these four families. If I cripple a few or make a few lie down, I'll see who dares to shout?!"
"The Police Department and the Police Division's request is that they can make a fuss, but they cannot be made to feel uncomfortable." Li Hongze hit the nail on the head.
"Don't worry, there won't be any tails left." Lu Feng replied calmly.
…
Zhanan District, Su Family Compound.
Since Su Tianyu returned to Longcheng, he has been involved in family affairs and has hardly had a rest. Fortunately, he has seen the internal strife of sanitation workers in Zhannan District from the perspective of an observer, and he does not think it is that complicated. If we do not consider that Su Tiannan is more righteous and calm, and that the Su family cares about their reputation, then if the style of doing things is a little more ruthless and cold, perhaps the Su family has already gotten out of the predicament.
Of course, these are just Su Tianyu's personal thoughts. He just returned to Longcheng, and his plan is not for the family, so there are some things he won't say, and his style of doing things will not be completely in accordance with his own wishes.
In the evening, Su Miaomiao, the third sister who loved her brother, prepared a table of delicious food to welcome Su Tianyu. Dozens of people in the family gathered together to eat and chat, full of a warm atmosphere.
In fact, even if Su Tianyu didn't come back, the Su family would still eat like this. There were many people and many children, and the whole family gathered together, which was joyful to watch. But today, thanks to Su Tianyu, everyone could eat something good.
"Xiao Yu, your family is here to welcome you today." Su Tiannan held up his wine glass and said with a smile, "It just so happens that you have graduated. No matter what you do in the future, brothers of our generation must stick together and help each other to do things."
"Of course I have to." Su Tianyu replied with a smile in his hometown dialect.
Sitting on the main seat, Second Aunt looked at Su Tianyu and said softly, "Our Su family has always been united. Your previous generation all went to the battlefield together. As the old saying goes, even if your bones are broken, your tendons are still connected. No matter how long you have been away from home, when you come back, you are home. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, Second Mother!" Su Tianyu bared his teeth and replied, "I'll toast you too. Don't worry about Second Uncle. We will do everything right."
Second Aunt was also very generous: "I'm not worried about him. This job is inherently risky. If he is shot, I will bury him; if he is sentenced to life imprisonment, I will wait for him."
"Second Aunt is indeed a heroine!" Su Tianyu listened to Second Aunt's words with awe.
The previous generation of the Su family had lived through a very turbulent era, so they had very good mental qualities and were able to handle anything.
After Su Tianyu toasted his second aunt with a glass of wine, he turned around and saw Su Miaomiao, wearing a short skirt and black stockings. She was carrying dishes and walked over. She said, "Here, this is the carp I made for you. I know you like it, so I ran to four markets to buy it."
Su Tianyu smiled and replied: "Third sister, you are really good at tearing socks. When you find a brother-in-law next time, you must choose one with strong hands."
"You're making fun of me. I'll beat you to death!" Su Miaomiao pulled her brother's ear.
Su Tiannan is older than the brothers, while Tianyu, Tianbei, Su Miaomiao and others are of similar age and they hung out together every day when they were young.
While the family was chatting, the intellectual Bai Hongbo came in with his two younger brothers. He held the flip phone, a symbol of his status, in his left hand, walked in with a splayed step, and a bandage on his head: "Haha, where are you eating?"
"Haha, Brother Bai is here!" Su Tiannan stood up: "Let's have a meal together as a family, come and sit down."
"I'll come over to talk about the next thing." Bai Hongbo turned his head and saw Su Miaomiao wearing a black silk short skirt. His eyes lit up immediately: "Miaomiao, your socks are so beautiful!"
Su Miaomiao and Bai Hongbo already knew each other. She was annoyed by this pretentious person and immediately pouted her lips and said, "Brother Bai, the white ribbon on your head is quite unique."
"Damn it, I get angry just talking about this." Bai Hongbo cursed, "I'm going to kill Lu Feng sooner or later! If I can't kill him, I'll go to the nursing home and kill his mother. I'm going to kill her anyway."
"Everything has been laid bare, so don't be angry." Su Tiannan politely invited Bai Hongbo to sit down, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhan, go get Brother Bai a set of bowls and chopsticks."
Bai Hongbo turned his head to look at Su Tianyu, and unconsciously touched the wound on his head: "Xiao Su, Xiao Su, you are not a decent boy! With this knife, you directly tied up all three of us. When Lu Feng chased you in the yard, you ran in front of me, and you even ran out of your shadow. You are really mean! I just want to ask, how did Brother Bai offend you... "
…
In a villa in Longkou District, Longcheng, a handsome middle-aged man in a white shirt was sitting on a chair and reading a book.
"There's a strike in Zhanan District." A man on the sofa said softly.
"Let's wait and see. If anyone from those four companies comes to see me in the next few days, there's no need to receive them. Just turn them down." The middle-aged man replied indifferently.
Downstairs, two young and beautiful girls walked into the villa lobby. One of them was the owner of the red car, the big-eyed beauty.
