Chapter Twenty-Eight: When Things Go Wrong, There Must Be Demons
Ma Youcai gave Huang Lier a face-to-face order, and the two of them made a plan and went to work according to the division of labor.
The words are divided into two ends.
After two battles, Huang Li and Guo Huai were temporarily "driven away", and Yang Ming also temporarily got a chance to breathe, it was time to investigate the truth about the murder of his sister's family.
So early this morning, Yang Ming came to the office to deal with the daily work documents briefly, and then set off to the police station across the road to investigate the situation.
As a result, as soon as Yang Ming walked to the door of the office, he collided with the oncoming Xiao Zhang.
"Uncle Yang, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to report to you. Xiao Zhang grabbed Yang Ming, who was about to go out, and shook the information in his hand.
Yang Ming took the information in Xiao Zhang's hand and took a look, it turned out to be the first compensation agreement signed with Sato Chemical.
Yang Ming didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Zhang in, "Say, what's the matter?"
"Uncle Yang, I am a law major, and I have been curious about the former Sato Chemical's request to re-sign the compensation agreement these days. Xiao Zhang explained.
"So today I revisited the original compensation agreement from the perspective of a legal professional, and found that there are indeed many illegal aspects of this agreement. ”
"Oh, is it? Tell me quickly, why is it illegal?" Yang Ming was frightened into a cold sweat when he heard this, and quickly asked.
"Uncle Yang, look. Xiao Zhang opened the compensation agreement and pointed to some of the terms on it.
"First, at that time, this compensation agreement was signed at the scene of the mass incident, and the matter was urgent at that time, but only set a general compensation amount of 60 million yuan, and there was no detailed damage assessment data, nor did it indicate the specific compensation content. ”
"According to the relevant laws and regulations of China, a compensation agreement that does not detail the damage assessment data and specific compensation content shall be deemed invalid, and the compensation party shall have the right to refuse the performance of the agreement. ”
"Second, this agreement was signed at the scene of a mass incident, when Junichiro Sato was seriously injured before agreeing to sign it, so this agreement itself has a mandatory nature, and it is not a true expression of the free will of both parties. ”
Therefore, this agreement violates the most basic criteria for signing the agreement, and can be regarded as an invalid agreement, and the indemnifying party has the right to refuse the performance of the agreement. ”
"Based on the above two points, from a legal point of view, the legitimacy of that agreement is simply untenable, and if Sato Chemical files a lawsuit on this matter, the villagers of Qingfeng Town will most likely lose. ”
"So a few days ago, Sato Chemical sent a lawyer to re-sign the compensation agreement, which is not completely unreasonable, but in the new compensation agreement, Sato Chemical deliberately lowered the damage assessment data and compensation amount, exposing their profiteer nature. ”
"In the same way, if the compensation agreement is not re-signed, Sato Chemical will always have a good reason to refuse to provide compensation, and it will be the villagers of Qingfeng Town who will suffer at that time!"
Hearing this, Yang Ming was even more shocked into a cold sweat.
You know, because of pollution, the villagers in Qingfeng Town have no harvest this year, and they are waiting to get the compensation money to buy rice for the pot!
Therefore, re-signing a legal, reasonable, convincing, and operable compensation agreement has become a top priority for Yang Ming at present!
There was no way, Yang Ming had to put aside the investigation of the murder of his sister's family for the time being, and focus on re-signing a new compensation agreement first!
However, for Sato Chemical, the biggest suspect in the murder of his sister's family, Yang Ming did not want to put down his body and took the initiative to negotiate with Junichiro Sato and others.
Just when Yang Ming was in a dilemma and did not know how to restart the negotiation of the compensation agreement, his office welcomed an uninvited guest--- the vice president of legal affairs of Sato Chemical.
As soon as the legal vice president came in, he actively identified himself, took the initiative to apologize for deliberately lowering the amount of compensation in the compensation agreement the day before yesterday, and proposed to restart the negotiation of the compensation agreement.
In addition, the vice president of legal affairs promised that as long as the amount of damage was accurately determined and a new compensation agreement was signed, Sato Chemical would immediately compensate and would not be in arrears.
Sato Chemical's sudden positive attitude shocked Yang Ming, what is the situation, could it be that the conscience of the Oriental people has found out?
However, since Sato Chemical took the initiative to throw an olive branch, Yang Ming, who was worried about this matter, had no reason not to get off the donkey.
Therefore, Yang Ming began to act as the mayor of the town, and asked the party and government office of the town government to notify the village party secretaries and village heads to hold a meeting at the town government to restart the compensation negotiations, and invited the vice president of legal affairs of Sato Chemical to attend.
The conference went very smoothly and the principle of compensation for damages was quickly established.
Then Yang Ming personally took the deputy general counsel of Sato Chemical and the village party secretary and village head to the field, inspecting and measuring the damage to the farmland inch by inch.
For the next two days, Yang Ming and the others spent the next two days wading through the sewage in the field with a ruler.
Every morning they went to work in the fields at dawn, drank cold water when they were thirsty, nibbled on cold steamed buns when they were hungry, sat on the ground and rested for a while when they were tired, and then worked again until it was dark and could not be seen.
After two days, everyone was tired and dizzy, exhausted, and even Yang Ming, who was in the best body on weekdays, was a little unbearable.
After all the damage to the land was measured, Yang Ming lost a lot of weight.
Yang Ming suffered for the villagers, the villagers saw it in their eyes and remembered it, if there was no Yang Ming, everyone who had no harvest would probably have to drink the northwest wind!
So in the hearts of the villagers, Yang Ming has become the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva!
Two days later, the final results of the pollution assessment were available.
The Sato Chemical sewage incident polluted a total of 3,239.14 acres of cultivated land and 275.89 acres of orchards in the town.
The cultivated land was not harvested, and most of the fruit trees were dead, sick, and even if a few fruit trees occasionally bore fruit, they were inedible because they had absorbed poisonous water.
After bargaining between Yang Ming and Sato Chemical, the two parties finally determined that due to the serious pollution of the land, it would take an extremely long time to control the pollution.
Therefore, Sato Chemical needs to compensate farmers in Qingfeng Town for 20 years of arable land income and orchard income, totaling more than 6,400 yuan.
Among them, 2 million yuan was paid in advance for the purchase of autumn grain to ensure that the villagers needed for the winter, and the balance was in place within half a year in batches.
However, 64 million yuan is only part of the compensation agreement, in addition to crop compensation, Sato Chemical is also responsible for two parts of compensation.
First, Sato Chemical is responsible for providing funds to improve the soil planting environment, purify the water source, and ensure that the green water and green mountains of Qingfeng Town are returned as soon as possible!
As for the total investment in this part of the compensation, it depends on the specific ways and methods of soil improvement, but the minimum shall not be less than 5 million yuan per year, and the continuous improvement shall be carried out for at least 10 years.
The second is the funeral compensation for the deceased in the Sato Chemical explosion accident in the early stage, because the explosion accident has not yet been investigated, and the specific number of casualties has not been determined, and the compensation will be paid after the investigation is clear.
However, the compensation agreement stipulates that Sato Chemical's funeral compensation for the deceased in the accident must be carried out in accordance with the highest national standards!
The new compensation agreement consists of three parts: crop compensation, soil improvement and funeral compensation for the deceased.
Roughly calculated, the overall amount of compensation has exceeded 100 million, more than double the original total amount of compensation.
Yang Ming thought that Sato Chemical would immediately turn his face and deny people after seeing this sky-high amount of compensation, and he had already thought of a countermeasure.
What Yang Ming never expected was that the representative of Sato Chemical had no objection to the compensation and happily agreed to the amount and method of compensation.
And as soon as the two parties signed the compensation agreement, Sato Chemical paid the first 2 million yuan to the town's financial account.
The unusually smooth progress of the damage assessment and compensation made Yang Ming feel a little uneasy, because the matter went too smoothly, and the smooth progress made Yang Ming feel incredible.
As the saying goes, "when things go wrong, there must be demons", he never thought that the Oriental people would be so happy, and always felt that there must be some moth in it!
However, Yang Ming's fears soon became a reality.
After Sato Chemical's initial 2 million yuan came, Yang Ming couldn't wait to raise money to buy grain and distribute it to the villagers for the winter, but this time Yang Ming hit a nail in the town finance office.
This morning, after Yang Ming received the news that the advance compensation had arrived, he asked Xiao Zhang to go to the finance office to discuss the purchase of grain.
As a result, Xiao Zhang returned not long after he went and told Yang Ming that Zhang Benshan, the director of the Finance Institute, refused to cooperate with the payment of compensation.
Yang Ming was anxious when he heard this, he knew that Zhang Benshan, the director of finance, was Huang Li's confidant, but this money was the life-saving money of the people in Qingfeng Town, and the masses were waiting for this money to buy food and put it in the pot!
But Zhang Benshan insisted on refusing to take out the money, how could this work, this was joking with the food and clothing of the masses, Yang Ming was the first to disagree!
To be honest, for Comrade Zhang Benshan, the God of Wealth, Yang Ming is really heartbroken.
Previously, Guo Huai led people to break into Yang Ming's office and smashed all the office furniture, and there was no decent office furniture available in the warehouse of the town party committee at that time.
Yang Ming called that Zhang Benshan and asked him to help approve some money and buy a cheap desk and chair to deal with it temporarily.
As a result, Zhang Benshan was stunned with a sentence of "no money", so he pouted Yang Ming, the executive deputy mayor, and let Yang Ming eat the closed door.
There was no way, Yang Ming had to ask Xiao Zhang to go to the warehouse to find a few tables and chairs with broken arms and short legs, and asked the carpenter in the town to knock and repair them, and then moved into the office.
So now the office furniture in Yang Ming's office is a pile of tattered goods, and there are traces of tattered repair and bundling everywhere, which is simply shabby!
However, for the issue of desks and chairs, Yang Ming was too lazy to bother with Zhang Benshan, because Yang Ming has always been indifferent to personal gains and losses.
However, this time it is different, this time Zhang Benshan threatens the vital interests of the people in Qingfeng Town, Yang Ming must not just forget it!
Yang Ming called Zhang Benshan aggressively and asked him to come to his office immediately.
Yang Ming also made up his mind, if Zhang Benshan didn't say the reason today, Yang Ming would definitely not be able to spare him, and he would recommend to the town party committee to remove Zhang Benshan from the post of director of finance!
