Chapter 353: Wave after Wave
At this time, Rong Shaochen was in a hotel in Yang City, hundreds of kilometers west of Lancheng, pursed his lips and looked at the fire that was particularly conspicuous in the night in the distance.
The place that is bubbling with fire is the most prosperous pedestrian commercial street in Yang City, and there is a row of shops owned by Rongsheng Group.
The night before, the merchants who rented shops on the street had a fierce conflict with the person in charge of Rongsheng Group in the city because of the rent, and the merchants were seriously injured and five were slightly injured in the chaos. The angry merchants immediately rallied together and besieged the office.
Afraid that the situation would deteriorate further, Rong Shaochen wanted to send Ji Zeyan to deal with this matter, but he didn't want to because Jing Xiaotian was in a bad state, Ji Zeyan didn't dare to go away, and the stakes were very high, so he didn't worry about others, so he rushed to Yang City in person.
After a day of coordination, things have almost eased up. In the evening, Rong Shaochen and Wu Ming had a simple meal, and then hurriedly went to the hotel with the merchant representative to further negotiate the compensation. I didn't want to talk about it halfway, a merchant representative received a phone call saying that the store was on fire, and then two other merchant representatives also received a call saying that the store was on fire, and everyone looked at Rong Shaochen angrily, accusing him of deliberate revenge.
Rong Shaochen was deeply surprised and was about to go to the scene of the fire, but was stopped by Wu Ming, saying that he would go to the scene to see the situation first, let Rong Shaochen wait here, and then leave with the representatives of the merchants.
Knowing that Wu Ming was worried about his safety, Rong Shaochen didn't stop him, but he couldn't sit still, so he quickly came to the room on the nineteenth floor of the hotel where he was staying, opened the curtains, and looked in the direction of the commercial street.
Since the construction of the commercial street in Yangshi, Rongsheng Group has the ownership of this row of shops, and then subleases them to the merchants, and agrees with the merchants: the merchants pay the annual rent of the next year in the autumn of each year, and the annual rent of the next year will increase by 5% on the basis of the annual rent of the previous year. In the past few years, the merchants have been very conscious of paying the rent, until a few days ago, some merchants thought that the overpayment of 5% was unreasonable, instigated other merchants to refuse to pay the next year's rent, and even insulted the people sent by Rongsheng to coordinate, clearly deliberately provoking trouble.
Rong Shaochen was suspicious: Who is secretly doing evil? If it's just to force Rongsheng to give up this five percent of the profit, why burn the store?
Seeing that the fire was spreading more and more by the wind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and he was very irritated for a while.
A pack of cigarettes was smoked, but Wu Ming didn't have any good news, Rong Shaochen finally couldn't help it, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Wu Ming, only to find that the mobile phone didn't know when it would automatically turn off, and he burst into a foul mouth, he pulled out the charger to charge the mobile phone.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and Wu Ming's voice sounded at the same time: "Boss, it's me." ”
Rong Shaochen immediately went to open the door and asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Wu Ming wiped his sweat and replied: "The fire in the south of the shop has been extinguished, and the fire in the north has also been controlled. ”
"Are there any casualties?"
"There are no casualties, but the economic losses should be not small, and it is impossible to count them for the time being."
"What do outsiders say?"
Wu Ming said in a sullen voice: "Many people think the same as the previous merchant representatives, thinking that Rongsheng is deliberately retaliating. ”
Rong Shaochen sneered: "Rong Sheng is so brainless in their eyes? ”
"It's not that Rongsheng doesn't have brains, it's that they don't have brains." Wu Ming looked worried, "Boss, you leave Yang City first, I'll stay and deal with these things." ”
Rong Shaochen snorted: "I want to see who is manipulating behind it." ”
Wu Ming refused: "People are in the dark, we are in the light, you have also seen the barbaric behavior of those merchants, I am afraid that they will come ...... now"
"Do they dare to eat me?"
"Boss......" Before Wu Ming finished speaking, the mobile phone rang, and when he saw that it was Yang Yuan's phone, he answered it suspiciously, "Yang Yuan? ”
"Is the boss by your side?"
"Here, you wait," hearing the anxiety in Yang Yuan's voice, Wu Ming hurriedly handed the phone to Rong Shaochen, "Boss, Yang Yuan is looking for you." ”
Rong Shaochen took the phone and replied casually: "Huh? ”
"Boss, something happened to Madame!"
Rong Shaochen's face changed suddenly: "What's wrong with the little bowl?" ”
"Madame was involved in a murder case and is now being sent to a detention center."
"What?! What's going on?! ”
Wu Ming also realized that the situation was not good, and pricked up his ears to listen with a nervous face.
Rong Shaochen listened to a few words, hung up the phone in a hurry, pulled his mobile phone that was still charging and put it into his pocket, and instructed Wu Ming: "Go back to Lancheng immediately." ”
"Yes." Wu Ming didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly helped Rong Shaochen take his coat and briefcase, and then quickly followed his footsteps and walked out.
The two came to the hall on the first floor, Wu Ming quickly went to check out, just when he was checking out, he heard a noise outside, and when he turned around and saw the angry crowd, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly rushed to Rong Shaochen to protect him, while explaining to everyone: "If you have something to say, you have something to say." ”
"Burn our shop to ashes and want to leave?" The first to speak was Yao Manyun, one of the merchant representatives.
"That's it!"
"Lose money!"
"Don't lose money, don't leave!"
The merchants behind have responded.
Rong Shaochen pushed Wu Ming away and ordered in a low voice, "You go and drive over." ”
Where can Wu Ming rest assured that Rong Shaochen is here alone? Nervous: "Then you ......"
"Go for a drive!"
Seeing that Rong Shaochen frowned, Wu Ming didn't dare to say more, and warned everyone, "Don't mess around, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat", and then walked quickly to the elevator.
Rong Shaochen ignored the crowd and turned around and walked towards the gate of the hotel.
"Rong Shao, we haven't finished talking about things yet, you can't go!" Yao Manyun and a group of people quickly followed, blocking Rong Shaochen's way.
"Get out of the way." Rong Shaochen's face was gloomy.
"Rong Shao, it wasn't us who stopped you," although Yao Manyun didn't let him go, his tone was quite kind, "We are the people affected by the disaster, you, as the initiator of the matter, have to give us some explanation, right?" ”
The glasses behind Yao Manyun echoed: "Yes, yes, our store is gone." ”
"Your shop?" Rong Shaochen smiled coldly, "Which one is your shop?" ”
The glasses were speechless for a while, and Yao Manyun immediately explained with a dry smile: "Rong Shao, the store is yours good, but the goods in the store are ours, you can burn your store, but the things in the store are ......"
Rong Shaochen immediately interrupted him: "If you say something without evidence, it's called slander, do you want me to tell you what kind of legal responsibility you have to bear for slander?" ”
"This ......" Yao Manyun seemed to be very unconvinced, "This is not going to the water in the morning, not going to the water in the evening, but after we had a conflict with Rongsheng, who wants to retaliate, isn't it obvious?" ”
"That's it. If it's just one store, we should think it's a coincidence, but at the same time, there are several shops that are walking the water, and the ones who are walking the water are all the shops of the merchant representatives who negotiate with you, which seems to be unreasonable. ”
After the glasses were finished, the tall and thin man beside him followed closely with Ying He and said: "I said that it was they who offended you, not us, you can take revenge on them, why do you want to set fire to us innocent small merchants?" We can't afford to lose that! ”
"yes, you're too immoral to do that, aren't you?"
Rong Shaochen glanced at these few people who repeatedly spoke out for fear that the world would not be chaotic, but he didn't have a seizure, but said lightly: "Didn't you call the police?" It is not too late for the police to find out the cause of the fire accident and tell me this. If it is really a matter of Rongsheng insiders, Rongsheng will be responsible for it to the end. ”
Yao Manyun said helplessly: "Since there is a deliberate arson, it will definitely not be so easy to reveal the flaws, maybe all the evidence will be destroyed earlier." ”
The glasses answered: "Or maybe you can spend some money to buy the police to destroy the criminal evidence, and you don't have to bear any legal responsibility." At that time, you can still get a large amount of compensation from the insurance company for the burned down store, which is still a pain for us small merchants who have not invested in insurance. ”
Rong Shaochen glanced at his glasses again, didn't make a sound, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Wu Ming's car happened to stop at the gate, so he immediately ignored these people and walked out quickly.
The glasses immediately shouted in the back: "Hey! You can't go! You haven't given us an account yet. ”
"Yes, you can't go!"
A group of people quickly caught up, and when they saw that Rong Shaochen had gotten into the car, they immediately surrounded the car. Rong Shaochen ignored them and asked Wu Ming for a mobile phone to call Xiaofei.
Wu Ming, who was in front, saw that everyone was not allowed to leave, so he had to shake down the glass and explain: "We have an urgent matter to go back to Lancheng now, please get out of the way, and tomorrow we will send a lawyer to talk to you about the compensation negotiation that has not been discussed before." ”
The glasses immediately asked, "What about the damage caused by the store fire tonight?" ”
Wu Mingying said: "This has nothing to do with us, when the police determine the cause of the accident, you can go to the relevant person to claim compensation, or wait for the insurance company to determine the damage." ”
Glasses and several merchants said in unison: "Our small store doesn't have insurance." ”
Wu Ming expressed helplessness: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with us." ”
"How does it have nothing to do with you? If it weren't for your ......"
"Hey! Splash dirty water and accuse you of false accusations! ”
"Don't mess with them, drive." Rong Shaochen told Wu Ming while talking on the phone.
"Yes." Wu Ming responded, and then rushed outside to persuade, "Get out of the way, we really have something." ”
Everyone refused, and the glasses said: "Even if it wasn't the fire you sent someone to set the fire, it was your fault." If you had agreed to give up 5/100 of the rental profit earlier, we wouldn't have come out to negotiate tonight, we would have been in the store and we wouldn't have set fire to the bad guys. It's your fault. ”
Wu Ming couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this: "You can ...... what you say."
"Drive!" Rong Shaochen interrupted coldly.
Wu Ming was a little embarrassed: "But they are in the way!" ”
Rong Shaochen was furious for a while: "Then hit and kill a few to open the way." ”
"Yes." Wu Ming hurriedly started the car and rushed outside, "We are really in a hurry, you have to stop getting out of the way, don't blame the car for not being long-sighted." ”
Seeing that everyone didn't get out of the way, he had to grit his teeth and slam on the accelerator and hit the crowd straight away......
