Chapter 47: The Struggle at the Bottom

The news of problems with the Zheng family's industrial-grade 3D printer production line and artificial intelligence spread in a small area.

At the same time, the government-backed bonds issued by Cheung Chau City also fell below the issue price, and many businessmen who had rushed to buy them stopped buying bonds one after another, choosing to wait and see for the situation to become clearer.

There are tens of thousands of laid-off employees of Zhongzhou Industrial Group, and behind each employee is a family.

Once because of the wave of unemployment caused by Alpha Intelligence, Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. relied on agricultural cabins to solve a part of the unemployed population, but with the continuous suppression of Zheng Changfeng after he came to power, this part of the business has also completely contracted, and the overseas market has almost stagnated because of lengthy approval documents, coupled with the efficiency growth brought by artificial intelligence, and the jobs in Changzhou City have been close to saturation.

As a coastal city, Cheung Chau has a predominantly foreign population structure, and these people do not have much sense of belonging to the city, but just hope to find a job to earn a living here.

Tens of thousands of laid-off workers from Zhongzhou Industrial Group poured into the human resources market, and the number of jobs that were already scarce was immediately stretched.

Employment is a major concern for a city, and if a large number of workers do not have the means to earn a living, families will fall apart, and now that the graduation season is approaching, Cheung Chau City is expected to have 200,000 fresh graduates pouring into the human resources market.

The contradictions in Cheung Chau City's society have become acute again.

Li Baiqiang is a skilled worker in the production line of the steel branch of Zhongzhou Industrial Group, and once served as the technical supervisor of the workshop in the steel division of Zhongzhou Industrial Group, which is the lowest management position, that is, the name is better than that of ordinary workers, in addition to the supervisor subsidy of 900 yuan per month, he is actually the same as ordinary workers, with a salary of about 8000 a month.

Li Baiqiang's wife is a worker in the textile workshop, the salary is lower than Li Baiqiang, 5000 wages per month, the couple has three children, the eldest son is a freshman at Changzhou University, the second daughter is in the key middle school of Changzhou City, and the younger daughter is still in primary school.

The couple bought a 100-square-meter house in the suburbs of Cheung Chau City a few years ago, and they need to repay the mortgage of 4,890 yuan every month.

Before Zhongzhou Industrial Group went bankrupt, the two relied on a monthly salary of 13,900 yuan, and after deducting various expenses, there was basically no remaining money to save.

After the bankruptcy of Zhongzhou Industrial Group, this already poor family also faced bankruptcy.

The husband and wife squatted at the door of Zhongzhou Industrial Group every day, waiting to receive unemployment benefits, and this was the eighth day they had been waiting.

If there are hundreds of thousands of laid-off pensions, then the impact of layoffs on every family can be alleviated to a large extent, and everyone is still waiting with anticrative expectations at first.

However, as the bonds issued by Cheung Chau fell below the issue price, some middle-level managers with more knowledge began to panic.

These people understand the relationship between the bonds issued and the laid-off pension, and if the bonds cannot be issued, then there is no such thing as a laid-off pension.

Nowadays, it is difficult to find jobs in steel smelting or textile technology in Cheung Chau.

Cheung Chau is the first city to carry out a new batch of printing production line operations, except for Cheung Chau Industrial Group, which is difficult to solve the problem of laid-off workers, most of the steel or textile enterprises have introduced industrial-grade 3D printer printing production lines.

Without exception, these production lines do not require much manual operation and can be produced efficiently.

Li Baiqiang and his wife have interviewed more than a dozen iron and steel companies in the past eight days, and all of these companies are not recruiting for technical positions without exception, and laid-off pensions have become their only hope.

Facing the same situation as Li Baiqiang and his wife, there are countless workers standing at the door of Zhongzhou Industrial Group.

Even though the rain was pouring, these people still insisted on guarding the door of Zhongzhou Industrial Group, but they were afraid of missing the distribution of laid-off pensions.

"There are no laid-off pensions! There will be no laid-off pensions! "A middle-aged man with glasses cried bitterly in the rain, and the screen of the mobile phone that fell to the ground flickered on and off because of the water seepage.

"Director Tang, what's wrong?" Li Baiqiang hurriedly went over to help the middle-aged man who was crying in the rainstorm.

The middle-aged man's name is Tang Qianyu, who was the former director in charge of the steel division and the textile division, and is the direct leader of Li Baiqiang and his wife.

Tang Yuqian just washed the rain on his face, saw the faces of the people who supported him clearly, and shouted angrily: "Ah Qiang, there is no laid-off pension!" There will be no more laid-off pensions, my mom is finished. ”

Li Baiqiang knew the situation of Tang Yuqian's family, Tang Yuqian's mother was admitted to the First Hospital because of cerebral infarction a month ago, and she had spent four or five hundred thousand yuan before and after, and now she is still waiting for money to save her life for surgery.

"How... How so? Didn't they inform them that they would send the money as soon as possible? Li Baiqiang said with a pale face.

Ten days later, he will have to pay off the mortgage, and his second and youngest daughters will have to pay tuition soon, and without this laid-off pension, their lives will not be able to continue.

"The bonds issued are delisted! It's been delisted! Even if the pension is issued, my mother will not be in time! Tang Yuqian wailed.

"Bonds? What is the relationship between bond delisting and pensions? For Li Baiqiang, a skilled worker with little education, the word bond is a little unfamiliar.

When several people around heard Tang Yuqian's words, they immediately shouted in shock: "What? Bonds delisted? ”

Tang Yuqian looked at the Zhongzhou Industrial Group with the iron door locked, and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, picked up a steel bar on the construction site next to the road, rushed to the iron door and knocked on it.

Without money, Tang Yu couldn't help his mother who was lying in the hospital, he was a single-parent family, and his mother pulled him up with hard work.

The solid steel bars slammed against the iron gates with a deafening sound.

The anger of the crowd had been building up for too long, and once a flame ignited the anger, it exploded like dynamite.

Li Baiqiang looked at Tang Yuqian angrily smashing Zhongzhou Industrial Group, his eyes turned red in an instant, without a source of income, the mortgage will be overdue, the children will not be able to go to school, and there will be no way to continue life!

His wife was still hesitating, Li Baiqiang couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up a steel pipe and rushed up.

The rioters grew more and more, and the iron gate soon became unable to withstand the angry crowd, and the entire wall of the gate was smashed with hammers on the construction ground.

The crowd stormed the building of Zhongzhou Industrial Group, and the swaggering people who once stood above their heads were long gone, leaving only a few external accountants still on the list of fixed assets.

The external accountant was pressed to the ground by the crowd and explained in a panic for a long time, but he didn't say a word clearly.

There were people in the crowd who knew about accounting accounts, picked up the account book of Zhongzhou Industrial Group and looked at it carefully, and soon saw the problem.

The assets of Zhongzhou Industrial Group have all been transferred one after another, and today's group company has almost no assets that can be used to repay those huge debts except for a building and a small number of fixed assets.

"Look, let's see where they've moved their assets?" Many people in the crowd urged.

The huge Zhongzhou Industrial Group, it is still very fast to find a few people who understand finance, and a few employees who were born in accounting quickly flipped through the group's accounts, and soon found clues from a large number of payment vouchers.

"It's Zheng Meiyan! Liu Qinghe's wife, he transferred all the assets of the group to his wife's name! ”

The crowd that got the object of debt collection immediately became agitated.

There are unjust debtors and owners, and they want to find Zheng Meiyan to get the pension back.

"Let's go, go to the central square, go to the central square to make trouble, don't let Zheng Meiyan spit out the money, we will definitely not give up."

The mighty crowd came out of the Zhongzhou Industrial Group and went straight to the central square.

In Zheng Changfeng's office, Zheng Meiyan pleaded with Zheng Changfeng with a pale face: "Uncle, you must save me." ”

"Save you? How can I save it? Even if the old man comes today, he may not be able to save you! ”

"How many times have I told you, don't go to the public account! Don't go to the public account! The property allocated by the family is enough for you to spend, why are you still so greedy? How much did Zhongzhou Industrial Group fill the deficit before, and you still dare to ask Liu Qinghe for money, you are dying by yourself! ”

Zheng Changfeng slapped the table in the locked office and scolded.

Zheng Meiyan, who knew that he was wrong, didn't say a word, just wiped his tears.

Rubbing his temples irritably, Zheng Changfeng said helplessly: "I gave the laid-off pension of the workers of Zhongzhou Industrial Group, and I will find the working committee to reconcile and reconcile." ”

"What? Do you want me to get a laid-off pension? No way! Zheng Meiyan patted the table and stood up, and refuted sharply.

"Then you will go in and squat for ten or twenty years!" Zheng Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.

Looking at Zheng Changfeng, who was furious, Zheng Meiyan turned his face aside, and said unwillingly: "30 billion is not a small number, you give me a week." ”

"One day! I'll just give you one day, and before you get off work this afternoon, you will transfer 30 billion to the account of Zhongzhou Industrial Group. Zheng Changfeng said in an unquestionable tone.

Without waiting for Zheng Meiyan to refute, Zheng Changfeng continued: "The laid-off workers have already rushed here, if you think you can withstand these people with one stick per person, then I didn't say it!" ”

"I think you know how much you have fished on Zhongzhou Industrial Group behind the old man's back over the years, when this matter is over, you will go to Melbourne, don't come back, I will go back to help you over there."

Zheng Meiyan's face was a little hesitant, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "Okay, Zheng Changfeng, this time I admit it, 30 billion will call in the afternoon, but don't expect me to be grateful to you, I am helping you clean up the hole of the failed bond issuance, you had better be able to keep me in front of the old man." ”

"Otherwise, I'll send a photo of your foster lover to Lei Liqi."

Lei Liqi is Zheng Changfeng's wife and the biggest backer behind Zheng Changfeng, because she is Lei Tianxing's sister.

Watching Zheng Meiyan slam the door and come out, Zheng Changfeng let out a long sigh of relief and suppressed all the anger in his heart.

After tidying up his shirt slightly, carefully smoothing out the folds on his shirt in front of the mirror, and confirming that he was properly dressed, Zheng Changfeng showed an amiable smile in front of the mirror.

Smiling in the mirror for a minute, Zheng Changfeng took a deep breath, took a black umbrella and went out.

In the heavy rain, the laid-off workers are rushing here...
