Although He Jiaguo made full mental preparations, he still didn't expect that the closure of the garden would cause such a big turmoil.

The issued "Xiajiang City People's ** Order" does not mention the closure of the whole park, but only clarifies the suspension and closure of 12 seriously polluting enterprises mainly electroplating enterprises, and the workers in the park are in trouble. On the day the order was issued, nearly 3,000 workers from five enterprises, including Xingguang Plating Company and Jingliang International Company, suddenly launched the so-called "factory protection and job protection" activities, vowing not to evacuate the park and defend and fight for their labor rights. There are also people with ulterior motives who have played the banner of Zhong Mingren, claiming to defend the great achievements of Secretary Zhong's reform and opening up.

After investigation and understanding, He Jiaguo found that the problem was rather complicated: for a period of time, there have been rumors of the closure of the park, many major polluters in the park have been prepared for a long time, the withdrawal of funds is very serious, and many enterprises have not even paid the basic wages of workers. The most typical is the Sino-foreign joint venture Jingliang International Company, which has been in arrears of employees' wages for nearly a year, with a total amount of nearly 10 million yuan. Workers can't get their hard-earned money, so they are naturally reluctant to leave the factory, which in fact causes a confrontation with ** Ling. The bright Taiwanese boss publicly told the employees that all the money he earned was fined, and now he wants to close the factory, and he can only find a salary if he wants it. There are also some enterprises that originally had very good benefits, with an average monthly income of thousands of yuan for employees, but now they have an order, such a good job is gone, and they only pay 120 yuan a month for laid-off living expenses.

It was only then that He Jiaguo understood another reason why Li Dongfang was cautious: The closure of the international industrial park is indeed not a trivial matter, and when a decision is related to the vital economic interests of thousands of households, the decision-maker must have a sincere fear and caution of walking on thin ice. This time, Li Dongfang should be said to be careful enough, from the small meeting of the conference to the retreat, to the field investigation of one enterprise after another, almost everything is well-founded, and he has seized the opportunity of this serious pollution, and the time to deal with it cannot be said to be unripe. In order to properly handle the aftermath of the 12 closed enterprises, more than 20 ministries, commissions, and bureaus, from environmental protection and public security to the Planning Commission and the Economic Commission, were dispatched at the same time to perform their respective duties. Despite such financial difficulties in Xiajiang, Xiajiang still used 35 million yuan to maintain the social security system to ensure that the first batch of about 9,000 laid-off workers would receive 120 yuan of basic living expenses per month on time. To this end, Li Dongfang personally took command and set up a leading group, with himself as the leader and three deputy leaders, one is Mayor Qian Fanxing, the other is Wang Xinmin, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, and the other is He Jiaguo.

With the clear attitude and severe criticism of the big boss Zhong Mingren, Qian Fanxing's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, and his enthusiasm is so high that he can't even care about Times Avenue for a while, as long as it is the meeting of the International Industrial Park, no matter how busy he is, he will rush to participate, and his attitude in handling things is more decisive than Li Dongfang. Hearing that the workers of Xingguang Plating Company and Jingliang International Company were fighting against the ** order and engaging in "factory protection and post protection", Qian Fanxing decided that it was a crowd to make trouble, and asked Wang Xinmin to send public security personnel over to maintain order in the park and detain the employees who led the trouble. Wang Xinmin asked Li Dongfang for his opinion, but Li Dongfang disagreed, and repeatedly warned Qian Fanxing and the comrades of the leading group: Don't be in a hurry, take your time.

At the meeting of the leading group, Li Dongfang confidently made an important speech that decided the tone and set the policy.

Li Dongfang said: "At such a time, our minds must remain calm and sober at all times, and we must never intensify contradictions. It is not a skill to intensify contradictions, and it is not an achievement to arrest people - the public security and armed police are all in our hands, and it is not easy to arrest people? That's not what we're for! The goal we want to achieve is to resolve and resolve contradictions on the premise of maintaining social stability. There should be a specific analysis of these 12 polluting enterprises, these enterprises have three components: First, our own state-owned enterprises, such as the Star Optoelectronics Plating Company and other five, cadres are appointed by us, it should be said that it is relatively simple, and it is easier to do, mainly to do a good job in the work of party members and cadres, let them show their party spirit, and make it clear to them: all those who participate in various forms of confrontation with the ** order will be organized and dealt with. Second, Sino-foreign joint ventures, represented by Jingliang International, a total of four, the situation is somewhat complicated, individual foreign bosses are still very bad, arrears of employee wages exist to varying degrees, for this part of the enterprise, to rely on the law to solve the problem, we now have a relatively sound legal system, there is the "Environmental Protection Law", there is the "Joint Venture Law", there is the "Labor Law". If you violate any law, you can tell some profiteers that the era of non-compliance with the law in Xiajiang City has passed, and the arrears of employees must be paid off, and Xiajiang City has no obligation to repay the debts on their behalf! Third, there are three foreign-funded enterprises, two of which are relatively large, like the international rowing company. With regard to these three enterprises, we must pay special attention to the policies, absolutely not give them the impression of driving away foreign capital, give more publicity to our latest preferential policies for attracting foreign investment, and welcome them to bring high-tech products from the 90s to the international science and technology park in the future. Tell them that there is only one earth, and that it will not do them any good to continue to pollute. ”

Speaking of the workers who occupied the factory, Li Dongfang said: "Comrades, we also have to put ourselves in their shoes and think about it, a good job is gone all of a sudden, and the employment situation in Xiajiang is so grim, it is normal for them to be unable to figure it out for a while, especially the workers of Jingliang International Company, they have not even received their hard-earned money for a year, how can they not be angry?!" Therefore, I hope that comrades will carry out this arduous work with understanding and tolerance, and hope that there will be no accidents, no one will be hurt, and no one will be arrested! Of course, it is good to be able to solve the problem quickly, but if you can't solve the problem quickly, you can do the work while waiting, as long as these twelve enterprises stop production and stop polluting, it is our victory in itself. Isn't that a bit weak? We may be a little weak, we may lose some face, but, comrades, what are we afraid of being weak in front of our own people? What are you afraid of losing some face? Our heavy-handed attack on the 12 polluting enterprises this time is itself for the fundamental and long-term interests of the people, and there is no need to be so tense! ”

Qian Fanxing was finally able to put himself in the right position, he didn't insist on his opinions as before, and immediately changed his position and agreed.

Towards the end of the meeting, Zhao Qigong made a phone call and asked Li Dongfang about the situation of the workers occupying the factory. Li Dongfang calmly and objectively introduced the situation. Zhao Qigong said that it is necessary to deal with this matter coldly and to understand the emotions of the workers' comrades. It must be clear in our hearts that the main responsibility for the current passive situation is us, not the workers' comrades, who are also the victims of our mistakes in decision-making and our long-standing failure to abide by the law and the lax enforcement of the law. The first step is to stop production. The behavior of the workers occupying the factory will not last long, and it is necessary to give priority to persuasion, propaganda, and education, and must not form conflicts and cause bloodshed. Li Dongfang immediately reported that he also thought the same way, and now he has unified his thinking on this basis with all the comrades of the leading group. Zhao Qigong also said that after the International Environment Day, at his suggestion, Bian Chang, a famous photographer of the Provincial Photography Association, made an album of photographic pictures of the pollution of the Xiajiang River, which was very convincing; He Rose, a famous singer in Xichuan, also wrote several pop songs based on the theme of Xiajiang beauty, which can organize them and help with some propaganda work. Li Dongfang agreed.

After the meeting was dismissed, Li Dongfang stopped He Jiaguo, told Zhao Qigong about his suggestion, and asked He Jiawei to find Bian Chang and He Rose as soon as possible, and mobilize them to follow the car radio to participate in the propaganda and education work for the workers who occupied the factory.

He Jiaguo immediately reminded: "Chief, don't be confused! These two are celebrities in Old Man Zhao's salon, and they have long been instructed by Zhao Qigong to protect the environment! What will the big boss think when he finds out? Aren't you looking for something to do? ”

Li Dongfang patted He Jiaguo's shoulder and smiled: "Jiaguo, the big boss calls you a dog, your relationship is so deep, but according to me, you still don't know much about the big boss, the big boss is the big boss, his mind and realm are much higher than ours, your worries are completely superfluous!" You know what? The big boss is preparing to hold an enlarged meeting of the provincial party committee to do self-criticism, and maybe it will be expanded to you! ”

He Jiaguo was stunned for a moment, and also smiled: "-This kind of meeting is estimated to be unable to expand to me, I'll wait to hear your chief's message!" ”

Li Dongfang sighed again: "Jiaguo, objectively speaking, your former father-in-law does have a policy level and leadership level, much better than our Mayor Qian - as long as it does not involve his personal political interests, he can always play some beautiful good balls." ”

He Jiaguo snorted and said disapprerovingly: "I don't think there may be no political interests in this!" Isn't it a nice situation for workers to occupy the factory for a long time, forming a stalemate, and our car radio station is broadcasting in the park every day? Isn't it figuratively promoting the failures of the big bosses? I may not know the big boss, but I still know more about this old man Zhao, after all, I have been his son-in-law! The second investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee is coming over again, can he find some political balance? ”

Li Dongfang did not comment on He Jiaguo's analysis, and only said: "Jiaguo, no one wants to see the stalemate situation, you should do more work for me in a down-to-earth manner, and communicate with me at any time on important situations, and let me emphasize: Our principle is that we would rather seek stability slowly." ”

He Jiaguo also wants to seek stability, but the reality is not subject to his will. On the morning of the next day, when a meeting of party members and cadres above the middle level of five state-owned enterprises was held, trouble came: the most eye-catching Xingguang Plating Company only had an office director surnamed Huang, and none of the party committee secretaries, chief and deputy general managers arrived. When I asked Director Huang, I learned that Zheng Yanji, secretary of the party committee and chairman of the board, and Liu Xusheng, general manager, were all detained by the workers of the occupied factory on the company's administrative building, and the phone upstairs was also cut off, and they couldn't make a phone call.

The director Huang of Starlight Company looked very embarrassed, his straight suit was full of dust, and the seams of his pants were torn, with a bitter face, smacking his mouth, and said helplessly: "Mayor He, there is really no way, there is really no way!" The workers were very emotional, and I finally managed to sneak out by jumping out of the window and then climbing the wall! Our Secretary Zheng and Mr. Liu said that they have asked you and the Municipal Party Committee for leave, and I am responsible for bringing them back to convey the spirit of your instructions to the Municipal Party Committee! ”

He Jiaguo was very angry, this is too lawless, not only occupied the factory, but also took the party secretary Zheng Yanji and the boss Liu Xusheng as hostages, in case someone hurt these two business leaders, wouldn't it be a big trouble? I immediately made a phone call to Wang Xinmin, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, and told him about the new situation. Wang Xinmin was also anxious when he heard this, saying that he would arrange it immediately and send some people to rescue Zheng Yanji and Liu Xusheng. He Jiaguo was worried about the conflict between the public security and armed police and the workers, so he threw down his phone and wanted to go to the park.

Director Huang stopped: "Mayor He, you'd better not go, the workers hate you now, and they all say that you made it to close the garden!" ”

He Jiaguo pushed Director Huang away: "Yes, I made it up, so please comrade workers have something to say to me!" ”

Director Huang still stopped: "Mayor He, you take the public security officers up, this is ...... This misunderstanding is even greater......"

He Jiaguo pushed Director Huang away again: "There's no misunderstanding, we just rescued Lao Zheng and Lao Liu!" ”

Director Huang saw that he couldn't stop him, so he had to squeeze into He Jiaguo's car and follow He Jiaguo together.

When the car drove all the way to the International Industrial Park, Director Huang hadn't told the truth, and He Jiaguo didn't realize what was famous in it. It wasn't until He Jiaguo and hundreds of public security armed police comrades entered the park and approached the gate of the production area of Xingguang Plating Company, forming a tense confrontation that was about to erupt, that Director Huang was afraid and shouted at the workers blocking the gate, asking the workers not to misunderstand, saying that ** did not mean to arrest people, but just to pick up Secretary Zheng and Mr. Liu to go to the city ** for a meeting. Only then did the workers agree that He Jiaguo had brought a few public security officers into the production area.

At this time, He Jiaguo already knew it in his heart, and it was estimated that there was a famous hall in it.

Sure enough, it's famous! When I arrived at the administrative building of the production area, I saw that Zheng Yanji, the party secretary who was said to have been detained, and Liu Xusheng, the general manager, were playing cards with the two vice presidents there, and the faces of the four people were covered with notes. No one cut off the phone in the office, they deliberately unplugged it themselves. The two met with He Jiaguo and several public security officers around He Jiaguo, but they didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and explained that it was a joke.

The He family was furious, slapping the table and yelling and scolding: "Are you kidding? You don't want to close the factory, but you are secretly inciting workers to make trouble! For his own selfish interests, he didn't listen to the greetings, regardless of the overall situation, and almost caused a bloody conflict! You fucking bastards! If there is a bloody conflict today, you will all have to go to prison and eat in prison......"

After going back, He Jiaguo immediately reported to Li Dongfang, suggesting that Zheng Yanji and Liu Xusheng be expelled from the party!

Li Dongfang thought about it, didn't agree, and instructed: First send a circular in the name of the leading group, and talk about the next step in the organization and handling of these two comrades, and now keep an eye on them - the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, let them do their work, and tell them: If the workers of Xingguang Company make any trouble, the municipal party committee and the city will ask them, and I am afraid it is not just a matter of expulsion from the party!
