Chapter 1291 Planning Blueprint
Secretary Wang led Tan Zongming and the others directly towards the new site of the steel plant in the suburbs. A Toyota Coaster, two Mercedes-Benzes, and a police car leading the way—the lineup was undeniably impressive!
"The original plan for this new site was 300 mu, but our mayor later added another 150 mu, so a total of 450 mu of land was allocated to the steel plant," Secretary Wang said with a smile.
"Hehe, Secretary Wang, with this area increased, Changwu City must have some new plans, right?" Ye Jinyan asked curiously.
"That's certainly true. Our city hopes that you can take on more responsibility than before, such as the placement of temporary workers!" Secretary Wang said with a smile.
“If the temporary workers at the steel mill want to be put back on the job, they must pass an assessment. We can’t keep idle people around. And most importantly, we absolutely cannot accept the original administrative staff of the steel mill. This is something your city needs to arrange yourself!” Abao said with a serious expression.
This is a consensus among everyone. The fact that the No. 1 Steel Company of the province has fallen to its current state is almost entirely due to the actions of these cadres, if not the primary responsibility. Therefore, Tan Zongming and his team had already reached an agreement that workers could be selected based on merit, but no cadres could be hired.
Seeing that everyone seemed to agree, Secretary Wang knew that they must have already discussed this matter, so he didn't press the issue further.
Soon, the group arrived at the new steel plant under construction in the suburbs.
The area has been transformed into a massive construction site. The foundation is complete, and the transportation infrastructure is in place. Now, factory buildings are under construction.
Tan Zongming and the others were very satisfied with the busy workers.
“Secretary Wang, your government has done a great job. We agree with your point of view in principle. Now there’s just one more thing: how long until our steel plant’s factory buildings are completed?” Xu Banxia asked.
"According to our estimates, the entire steel plant will be operational in about twenty days, which will absolutely not delay your business!" Secretary Wang said with a smile as he stood in front of the planning map.
“That’s good, then we can rest assured!” Ye Jinyan said.
"Secretary Wang, when will the demolition work in the old city area begin? After all, a lot of equipment there has already been moved to the new factory," Abao asked.
"We've already started the relocation mobilization work, and we've also been communicating with the Changwu Municipal Government to open up several new bus routes for the steel plant here, ensuring the employees' travel needs are met," Secretary Wang said.
The group spent the entire afternoon inspecting the construction site, learning in detail about all the information and supporting facilities.
After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, Secretary Wang originally wanted to invite the senior executives to dinner on behalf of the government, but Tan Zongming and the others refused. They had to return to Shanghai. Lin Di'en was a very busy person, so how could he possibly have time to stay here for so long?
That evening, the group also had to pay their respects to Shen Weicheng, the ninth son of the Zhao family.
"Director Shen, we'll have to trouble you with things at the steel plant. As you know, we're all quite busy. We're planning to hire a professional manager, but there are a few things we'll need your help with," Tan Zongming said to Wei Cheng with a smile, holding his wine glass.
"President Tan, President Bao, you are both partners recognized by my family. It is my duty to take care of our own people. Moreover, the reason why my grandfather sent me to Zhongjiang Province is to protect your businesses. You can all rest assured," Wei Cheng replied with a smile.
While Wei Cheng and Tan Zongming were having dinner, in the old steel mill residential area, less than a kilometer away from the hotel where they were eating.
"Brother Li, are you really planning to go against the demolition office? According to current standards, I consulted them before, and they haven't treated us unfairly at all," a young man said.
“Xiao Wang, you don’t understand. We’re all temporary workers. It’s uncertain whether we’ll be able to find a place in the new factory. If things don’t go well, our houses will be our future security! Now that we finally have a chance, why shouldn’t we ask for more?” The man called Brother Li looked at the expectant eyes around him and said with a smile.
“Brother Li, we know that’s the truth, but now they’re giving me the demolition compensation according to the regulations. Should we keep making trouble? What if they arrest us and put us in jail? Who will take responsibility for that?” another worker said with a worried expression.
"Don't worry about that. I've already spoken with the big shots in the city, and they'll have the media follow up. Our operation will be filmed by reporters the whole time! I don't believe they'd dare to attack us in broad daylight!" Brother Li said smugly.
"Brother Li, I heard that these people were invited by provincial leaders with great difficulty to solve the employment problem of thousands of people in the steel plant. How could such a group of people dare to interfere?" Someone did not believe the big shots that Brother Li mentioned, so they retorted.
"Zhu Guoqing! Don't boost others' morale and diminish our own! We're just asking the new boss for our rights. We're not stealing or robbing; we just want our protection! We're not afraid of any big shots, let alone those big shots who are only after political achievements!" Brother Li said.
Seeing the several glances exchanged, Brother Li couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He was indeed a temporary worker at the steel mill, but at the same time, he was also a subordinate of the Zhao family.
Zhao Xiaosheng asked him to find some minor problems with the demolition work to create some conditions for his entry into the site.
As the biggest local tyrant, Zhao Xiaosheng couldn't let such a lucrative opportunity slip through his fingers.
Although he knew that the steel plant project was a key project approved by the province, he did not want to give up and still hoped to gain some benefits from it through other means.
So he instructed this young man called Brother Li to incite everyone to make a scene over the demolition compensation issue. Maybe making a scene would get those Shanghai bosses to make concessions?
The demolition compensation for these 3,000 households amounts to tens of millions of yuan. If I could participate, it would be a huge business worth millions or even tens of millions of yuan!
Compared to what they put in, the return on success was far too high, making the Zhao family willing to take the risk.
In the end, Brother Li only found ten people willing to take action, two of whom were shills he had hired! But Brother Li decided to make a scene anyway, believing that if he succeeded, he could use the guise of helping others solve problems to make money!
Once I succeed, I won't let anyone else participate unless they give me a kickback!
