The prepaid rent is not refundable, and the liquidated damages stipulated in the contract are not taken into account, and the leaders of the engine factory simply treat Du Chengdong and others as puppets at their mercy.

When Du Chengdong and Xin Xudong reported the attitude of the factory to Geng Wenyang, he just smiled contemptuously and said: "If you want to do things without taking money, do you really think that we are easy to bully?" ”

He pondered for a while before saying, "Lao Du, have you figured out the reason why the factory wants us to quit the lease?" ”

"All I know is hearsay." Du Chengdong said: "It is said that there is a small day to invest in the construction of enterprises in our city, and we have taken a fancy to the engine factory staff club and are ready to build a large shopping mall here." It's like a foreign mall on TV, what is it called...... Warehouse mall! ”

"Oh!" Geng Wenyang suddenly understood that the so-called warehouse-style shopping mall was the prototype of the later large supermarkets. However, it is only 1990 now, how could a small day choose Baicheng to build a large-scale supermarket project like Baicheng in a third-tier city? Aren't you afraid that you will lose all your money if you don't adapt to the water and soil?

Du Chengdong continued to explain: "It is said that this project was contacted by a leader in the city, so the factory attached great importance to it, and the leaders were afraid that if they did not do a good job, it would affect the black yarn hat on their heads. ”

I see! Geng Wenyang suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said to them: "Today is less than a week away from next Monday, I think if the city urges us tightly, the factory may take measures against us." ”

"You two ......," he instructed, "at least half of the staff should be on duty at night to prevent a surprise attack in the factory." Xu Wenjie will lead the team to cooperate with you, and hand over the matter to him to deal with. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." The two of them nodded.

Geng Wenyang originally thought that the other party would forcibly return the lease under heavy pressure to drive them away, but unexpectedly, they adopted a more shrewd trick and put them in a dilemma without much effort.

On January 4, the day of the Laba Festival, the engine factory suddenly cut off water and electricity to Wendong Zhaoyang Entertainment Plaza, forcing it to stop business.

Du Chengdong and Xin Xudong came to the door again in a hurry, and when they saw Geng Wenyang, they complained: "Old Geng, there is no electricity and no water, and the factory wants to trap us alive!" ”

"Don't rush." Geng Wenyang said unhurriedly: "Since you want to play with others, you have to calm down." How can you do it if you can't hold your breath? ”

"Where can I hold my breath?" Du Chengdong complained bitterly: "We will lose more than 3,000 yuan if we take a day off." Now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I'm afraid there will be more losses! ”

"You don't call it a loss, it should be called a decrease in turnover." Geng Wenyang said: "Although we have the legal advantage in this matter, the initiative is in the hands of the other party, because this is other people's territory, and people have the final say." ”

"So we can't rush!" He sighed and said, "Lao Du, it seems that it is impossible for the entertainment plaza to open for business again." What we can do now is to compensate as much as possible from the factory, and then find a suitable place to open a new entertainment plaza. ”

"So we can't be in a hurry, let alone messy." Geng Wenyang sneered: "Don't they want us to go?" If we don't leave, we will consume them to the end, and if we don't give enough compensation, we just won't leave, and we will kill them in a hurry. ”

Two days later, Dong Yannian came to talk again on behalf of the factory. It's just that the factory wants to be an iron rooster that doesn't pull out a dime, and the entertainment plaza is not willing to suffer in vain, so naturally they can't talk about it together.

After the negotiation was fruitless, Dong Yannian said sadly: "Xiao Dong, your arms can't twist your thighs." Can you, a small self-employed person, stand up to an engine factory with thousands of people? You'll regret it in the future. ”

After Du Chengdong relayed Dong Yannian's words to Geng Wenyang as they were, he pondered: "Old Du, it seems that the factory is about to take action against us. You hurry up and inquire about it, try to find out the details of the other party, and we will find a way to deal with it. ”

After receiving the instructions, Du Chengdong immediately asked his relatives and friends to go all out to find out the news, and finally got accurate information that night: Tomorrow is Sunday, and the engine factory has concentrated more than 100 young workers in the security department and various workshops, and is ready to forcibly surrender their leases at 9 o'clock in the morning.

"It's finally time to come!" Geng Wenyang arranged: "Tomorrow I will personally be on the scene to command. You let the female employees go home first, and the male employees stay. Of course, this is all voluntary, and those who don't want to stay will never be forced, but they will not be hired again in the future. ”

"Good! I'll arrange it! ”

When the first rays of dawn on Sunday hit the earth, Geng Wenyang rode the big golden deer to Wendong Zhaoyang Entertainment Plaza. In addition to the 30-member joint defense team led by Xu Wenjie, there are more than 50 male and female employees in the entertainment square.

Geng Wenyang wondered: "Lao Du, didn't I let all the female employees go home?" Why is there still here? ”

Du Chengdong explained: "I told them to go home, but some female employees insisted on staying, saying that they would defend their work with us. ”

Geng Wenyang saw that the employees were quietly discussing and looking at him with all their eyes, and he knew that he had to say two encouraging words in order to arouse everyone's emotions.

He immediately came to the employees gathered in the hall and greeted everyone: "Brothers and sisters, I am Chairman Geng Wenyang. Now, let me tell you a few words. ”

More than 80 people flocked to his side, and Geng Wenyang said in a loud voice: "Every employee present today will receive a special subsidy of 100 yuan per person. ”

He turned around and ordered: "General Manager Du, let people take the money and send it now!" ”

Du Chengdong agreed, took a pile of 100 yuan bills handed by Xin Fang, and sent them to the employees one by one.

Geng Wenyang added: "The female employees are given an extra 20 per person to reward their dedication to taking the initiative to participate. ”

More than a dozen female employees at the scene couldn't help but cheer excitedly. Geng Wenyang took the opportunity to say: "This is just a subsidy, and after today's action is over, another bonus will be given to each person according to their performance." At least two hundred per person, there is no cap! ”

As soon as the words fell, more than 80 employees present excitedly cheered together!

Geng Wenyang continued: "What we are defending this time is not only the entertainment square, but also our own job opportunities. ”

He paused and continued: "Now is a society governed by the rule of law, and everything must be done according to the law. We have a three-year lease contract with the factory, and this year's rent has already been paid, so there is nothing wrong with us legally. ”

"But today......" he said with a grim face, "In order to keep the black yarn hat on their own heads, the leaders of the engine factory have to force us to close our doors and shut down our business by bullying the small." You say, "Can we say yes?" ”

"Can't!"

"Just do it with them!"

"It's pretty good!"

The employees were agitated and shouted in response.

Geng Wenyang saw that everyone's morale was available, and said to Du Chengdong: "General Manager Du, according to the plan we discussed, let's start acting!" ”

"Yes! Mr. Geng! Du Chengdong agreed, and hurriedly commanded his staff to start arranging.

Geng Wenyang turned around and looked out the window, and there were already sparse young workers of the engine factory gathered outside in groups of three or five.

"The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, take this opportunity today to teach the big men in the factory a good lesson!"
