042 Friends
Wen Lei drove the car and slowly walked out of the park.
"That person just now is Zheng Kuo, the young master of Fuhong Steel Mill, I heard that he is very willful, who let Boss Zheng only have a son like him."
Fang Zheng smiled but did not speak.
He had personally seen Zheng Kuo's willfulness, thought about it and asked:
"How many assets does Fuhong Steel Mill have?"
"How can this be explained?" Wen Lei shook her head:
"Not to mention anything else, the land that belongs to Fuhong alone can be worth billions, and after so many years of accumulation, it must be tens of billions."
"Such a big industry can even go out of business." Fang Zheng shook his head:
"Unbelievable."
Enterprises with assets of more than 10 billion yuan are often the pillars of a local economy, and there are only two or three in Daqu City at present.
One of them is also a real estate company with a background in urban investment.
"There's nothing strange about it." Wen Lei said:
"Fuhong Steel Mill is not a private enterprise, but a public enterprise, the leadership lacks business awareness, there is nothing to say when it had a monopoly position in Qushi before, and it is now backward in technology and does not know how to make progress, and it has been unable to make ends meet in the early years."
"Coupled with the bloated structure, the company's poor operating efficiency, and the corruption reported one after another, it has long been no star enterprise in the city."
"It's become a liability!"
"Look!"
She lowered the window and gestured outside:
"Protesting workers."
Fang Zheng looked sideways and saw a group of people gathered in front of a factory gate, shouting something.
There were several banners in the crowd.
"Selling public assets cheaply deserves death!"
"Zhang Yongfeng accepted bribes and made false accounts, he should go to jail!"
"The resettlement compensation agreement cannot be implemented, and the forced eviction of workers is lawless!"
“……”
The text on the banner was not neat, but it was full of the simple anger of the workers, and a group of people shouted angrily, but they were stopped outside by the security guards.
"Zhang Yongfeng, you have the ability to come out!"
"Twenty years of service, why only give ten years of severance pay, and it has to be in arrears in advance, and it will not be given after signing a severance agreement!"
"Get out!"
A figure in the crowd made Fang Zheng's eyes move slightly:
"Stop the car."
"What's wrong?" Wen Lei stepped on the brakes and turned her head to look:
"It's complicated, don't get into it on the spur of the moment."
"It's not." Fang Zheng shook his head:
"There's a friend in there, I'll go down and take a look."
"You go back first."
"That's good." Wen Lei nodded:
"Don't forget to ask if anyone is interested in Fugui Porcelain Factory, the price can be negotiated again, and I can apply for the company's commission after the negotiation."
"Don't worry." Founder got off the car and waved his hand:
"I can't forget it!"
Seeing Wen Lei move away, he walked slowly towards the crowd and patted him lightly on the familiar shoulder:
"Dapeng, why did you come here?"
"Founder!"
Dapeng, who was originally red-faced and red-eared, waving his arms and roaring, turned around when he heard the sound, and couldn't help but be happy when he saw Fang Zheng, and then stretched out his hand and pointed:
"My third uncle and second uncle are both employees of Longgang Factory, and they have been working hard in the factory for half their lives, and it is definitely not okay to be manipulated like this."
"What's going on?" Fang Zheng looked up, his brows furrowed slightly:
"Placement fee?"
"There is a part of the reason for the placement fee." Roc nodded:
"According to the rules, severance pay is paid according to the number of years of service multiplied by the monthly salary, but Zhang Yongfeng discounted the number of years of service."
"Some are seven percent off, some are six percent off, and some are even only five percent off, which means that after 20 years of work, only ten years of severance pay will be given."
The wages of the employees of the Longgang Iron and Steel Factory are about five or six thousand.
According to 5,000, the severance pay for 20 years is 5,000 times 20,000, that is, 100,000, and if it is ten years, it will only be 50,000, which is less than half who can afford it.
50,000 yuan is naturally nothing for a rich person, and Zheng Gongzi has more than that.
But for ordinary workers, 50,000 yuan is already a busy harvest for a year.
Moreover, the workers in the factory have not been paid wages for more than half a year, and the severance pay given this time is not even as much as the arrears of wages.
Other than that
Longgang Iron and Steel Plant has more than 800 employees, so if you convert it, you can save tens of millions of severance pay alone, and the benefits are not small.
"Rush!"
At this time, someone shouted:
"The surname Zhang is inside, I saw his car go in, let's rush in to find him face to face and ask clearly, I don't believe that there is no heavenly reason in this world."
"Yes!"
"Rush in!"
"Boom ......"
There was a commotion in the field, crowding towards the gate, and several security guards at the gate were sweating on their foreheads and staggering by the crowd.
"What are you doing?"
A person came out of the factory and yelled when he saw this:
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"Old Wu!"
He pointed to the big man who took the lead in the crowd and said:
"Believe it or not, I'll call the Public Security Department now, gather a crowd to make trouble, and as the one who takes the lead, it will be light for you to be imprisoned for three or five years."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Wu subconsciously took a step back, and the actions of the others also became hesitant.
They are all honest people, and when they hear about arresting people, they subconsciously feel fear in their hearts.
"Manager Tian."
Lao Wu straightened his neck and said loudly:
"We've been dragging our surname for more than ten days, we can't keep dragging it like this, we have to give a solution."
"Didn't I already tell you something?" Manager Tian frowned:
"What else do you want?"
"Severance pay is discounted, and some are even discounted by 5%, and the money has to be owed in advance, and there is no certainty about when it will be paid." Lao Wu was angry:
"That's what you say?"
"yes!"
"It's so unreasonable!"
"We have been fighting for the factory for most of our lives, and when we are old, we will be kicked out when we are no longer needed."
"Why?"
"We're not convinced!"
The crowd was in an uproar again, and anger was ignited, and gradually rushed forward again.
Seeing this, Manager Tian's complexion changed, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and he subconsciously took a step back, stabilized himself and said:
"Don't worry, money is indispensable."
"But you also know the current situation of Longgang, I can't make ends meet, and even I haven't received my salary for several months."
"Now that someone is willing to take over, it's good for you and for me, but the amount involved is too large, so we have to slow down."
"Fart!" Someone in the crowd yelled:
"The company is restructuring, you are still the manager of Longgang, I heard that the salary has more than doubled, and we are going to be laid off."
"And there are so many things in Longgang Factory, and the land alone is worth a lot of money, and more than 200 million yuan will be sold, who will believe it if you say that you are not tired?"
"Not bad!"
"That's it!"
"Nonsense." Manager Tian's face changed greatly, as if he had been debunked and angry:
"Who told you these things, and you believe the rumors with empty mouths and white teeth? Let me tell you, if anyone dares to break into the factory gate today, they will wait to go to jail! ”
"Old Wu!"
"Especially you, you give me a good memory!"
The so-called turned around and disappeared into the luxurious office building in the blink of an eye.
"What now?"
"Do you want to keep making trouble?"
"When exactly are they going to give money?"
“……”
The crowd whispered, although they were still resentful, but they were threatened by Manager Tian, and it was obvious that there was no end to the impulse at the beginning.
"Uncle Wu."
One man squeezed into the crowd with a microphone in hand:
"Is it true that Longgang is cheap? Your severance pay is really discounted, and you can apply for legal aid if so. ”
"Cheap?" Lao Wu hummed lightly:
"It's good that you don't post the money, I don't know how to make the account of the surname Zhang, there are so many debts in a company as big as Longgang."
"The arrears were offset by the existing assets, and only more than 200 million were sold."
"Old Wu, you don't have to say a word." One person speaks:
"This is also hearsay, I don't know if it's true, if it spreads, the surname Zhang won't let you go."
Again:
"Severance pay is indeed discounted, as for applying for legal aid......
"This matter was facilitated by the district, and Councilor Zhao also showed up, if it is too big at that time, the other party may not give it directly, and we can't do anything about it."
"yes."
There was a sigh from the crowd:
"Ordinary people, what do you compare with others?"
"Isn't that bullying?" The reporter with the microphone in his hand looked resentful:
"You can't just leave it at that."
"Old history." Dapeng squeezed over:
"When did you come back?"
"Roc!" Shi Xin turned around, his eyes lit up:
"Monk, you're here too."
"All the time." Roc shrugs:
"Let's go, it's rare to get together, go have a drink."
"Okay."
Shi Xin nodded:
"Drink some."

Shi Xin, Dapeng, and Fang Zheng are friends and classmates from the same high school, but they are not in the same class.
Unlike Dapeng, who did not succeed in his studies, he transferred to Fangzheng in art school, and Shi Xin had excellent grades in high school and was admitted to a prestigious university.
I studied journalism.
Now he is an official reporter for a newspaper.
I came back this time to understand the restructuring of Fuhong Steel Plant, do a follow-up report, and happened to meet the two in Longgang.
"There will be a few classmates later, most of them know each other, and it will be lively."
Shi Xin rubbed his hands:
"I haven't been back for several years, and my classmates asked me to come to the party and was embarrassed not to come, so the three of us will get together alone when we have time."
"It's still your big face." Dapeng thumbs up:
"I just graduated and became a Beijing citizen, I haven't gotten married yet, and my family situation is good, so many of the people waiting for me should be female classmates, right?"
"Hey...... hey" Shi Xin scratched his head:
"There are a few female classmates."
"I'll just say it." Roc grinned.
Fang Zheng on the side raised his eyebrows:
"Is this a goal?"
Without a goal, according to Shi Xin's personality, he would definitely not invite so many people to gather.
"Yes."
Shi Xin nodded:
"Dapeng, do you remember Zhao Xiuxiu on Front Street?"
"Zhao Xiuxiu." Dapeng's expression changed:
"You like her?"
"What's wrong?" Dapeng's expression made Shi Xin a little nervous:
"I didn't hear she's married."
"It's not a question of getting married or not." Dapeng waved his hand, sighed and said:
"Zhao Xiuxiu's father was addicted to gambling, and he owed more than one million outside, and he was interrupted by a debtor some time ago."
"Her mom doesn't know where she went."
"In short......"
"Now their family must be a mess, although Zhao Xiuxiu looks good, but I advise you not to wade into this troubled water."
"......" Shi Xin's face sank, and he sighed for a long time:
"Let's take a look first."
"I ...... I liked her when I was in school, and I was embarrassed to say at the time, but now I have the courage to ...... This way. ”
"Hey!"
He shook his head and opened a bottle of beer and poured it straight into his stomach.
Not long after, the classmates who had made an appointment came one after another.
I haven't seen him for many years, and the once young people have become mature, and their words and demeanors have lost the enthusiasm of their youth.
As Dapeng said, most of the girls came.
Shi Xin is handsome, has money in his family, and is still from Beijing, so he is indeed a good spouse.
"I heard that it's hard to add Beijing nationality." Xu Yuting, a former sports girl and now a strong man in the workplace, asked curiously:
"How did you get in?"
"Good luck." Shi Xin smiled:
"It just so happened that the company had two places, and the people in front of me jumped to the self-media, so I took advantage of it in a daze."
"You're in luck."
"yes!"
"That's Beijing."
“……”
Several people praised again and again, but Shi Xin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly stood up:
"Zhao Xiuxiu, you're here."
"Shi Xin."
Zhao Xiuxiu was wearing a pink dress, her long hair was gently pulled behind her back, her fair and bright wrists were all exposed, and her delicate facial features were like porcelain.
After arriving, he greeted a few people with a smile.
Fang Zheng was stunned.
It's not because Zhao Xiuxiu is good-looking, although she is really good-looking, and she has a good figure, with long legs, thin waist, and big breasts.
Mainly......
Earlier today, he met Zhao Xiuxiu.
On that luxury business car, the woman who sorted out Zheng Kuo's clothes.
"Sit!"
Shi Xin beckoned:
"Sit down."
Xu Yuting's eyes rolled, she got up and pulled Zhao Xiuxiu to sit down, and touched the watch on her wrist:
"This is the starry sky of the Blancpain family?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get down without hundreds of thousands, Xiuxiu, you are a real person who doesn't show up, a single watch is worth more than all my belongings."
"Hundreds of thousands?" Zhao Xiuxiu looked surprised:
"Is it so expensive?"
"Of course." Xu Yuting rolled her eyes:
"You don't know? Or did the guy who bought you something not tell you? ”
"I ......" Zhao Xiuxiu's cheeks were slightly red:
"He didn't tell me, he just said it was a small gift."
"A small gift of hundreds of thousands." Xu Yuting's cheeks were distorted, and she couldn't tell whether it was jealousy or something else, and said slowly:
"Sent by my boyfriend?"
"Hmm."
Zhao Xiuxiu nodded slightly.
"You're in good luck." Xu Yuting sighed:
"When will I find a boyfriend who gives hundreds of thousands of watches as a small gift."
"Don't even think about it." Someone laughed and said:
"Don't look at Xiuxiu's pitiful appearance, don't say that men like it, even if a girl sees it, she can't help but be moved."
"Hee-hee-hee......"
The women burst into laughter.
Shi Xin's expression was a little stiff.
"Xiuxiu."
Xu Yuting said:
"Can you let your boyfriend come over, let us also see which rich boy brother can charm us Xiuxiu."
"This ......" Zhao Xiuxiu pinched the corner of her clothes and hesitated:
"He's busy."
"No matter how busy you are, don't you even have time to spend with your girlfriend?" Xu Yuting raised her eyebrows:
"You give it a call."
"yes, we'd like to see it too."
"Rich Boy ......"
"That'...... All right. Several women persuaded one after another, but Zhao Xiuxiu couldn't refuse, so she could only pick up her mobile phone from her bag and dial it.
After thinking about it, he got up and went outside the door.
"Cut!"
Seeing her walk away, a female classmate's face suddenly changed, and she said coldly:
"Zhao Xiuxiu has climbed to a high branch, and some time ago, the family couldn't open the pot, so how long did it take to bring hundreds of thousands of watches."
"yes!"
Manned Interface:
"Her father owes millions of gambling debts, all of which have been repaid by that person, and hundreds of thousands of watches and millions of debts can be solved casually."
"Hey ......"
"I heard that Zhao Xiuxiu is taken to a high-end club every day, it's amazing, it's amazing!"
"It can't be a junior, right?"
"Who knows?"
"Maybe that old fellow is seventy or eighty years old."
Several women whispered, and Xu Yuting, who was enthusiastic just now, also changed her attitude greatly, although the male classmate didn't say anything, his expression became extremely strange.
Shi Xin had a cold face and kept drinking.
"I'm sorry."
Zhao Xiuxiu pushed the door in and nodded to everyone to apologize:
"My boyfriend probably won't be able to come."
"It doesn't matter." Founder toast:
"It's rare to get together, let's drink ours, just chat, talk about our hearts, I don't know when we'll see you again in the future."
"Yes!"
Dapeng nodded heavily and shifted the topic away from Zhao Xiuxiu:
"Let's drink, cheers!"
At the same time, he gave Shi Xin a look on the side.
"Cheers."
Shi Xinqiang smiled and raised his glass.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, there are already a few people who are drunk, their faces are flushed, and their speech has become upside down and verbose.
"Let's go!"
Dapeng burped:
"It's almost time, let's go back."
"What's the hurry?" Xu Yuting rolled her eyes:
"Where is this? Find a KTV to continue the second show. ”
"Yes!"
"I know that the environment is good, and the boss is still my friend, so let's go there."
"Good!"
Several people raised their hands in agreement.
"Xiuxiu."
At this time, a cold voice sounded:
"Gone."
"Zheng Kuo, you're here." Zhao Xiuxiu got up when she heard the sound, her face was even more flushed, and she walked to the man and pulled him to the wine table:
"They're all my friends and want to meet you."
"Ladies and gentlemen."
"That's when my boyfriend Zheng Kuo."
When introducing Zheng Kuo, Zhao Xiuxiu subconsciously straightened her body, looked proud, and her face was full of happiness.
She's not stupid.
I also know that some people are muttering something about her behind her back.
But it doesn't matter.
The boyfriend is good enough for himself, and that's enough, let those people blush.
"Zheng Gongzi."
"So young!"
"Zheng Shao......"
Seeing Zheng Kuo's appearance clearly, under the pressure of the other party's rich and compelling aura, several people couldn't help but bow slightly and raise their glasses.
"Zheng Kuo."
Zhao Xiuxiu shook Zheng Kuo's arm:
"Have a drink."
"......" Zheng Kuo frowned, his face was full of displeasure, he glanced at Zhao Xiuxiu, and then opened the bottle of wine with some reluctance, and turned around skillfully:
"Xiuxiu's friend is my friend, I'll do it first......"
"Huh?"
When his gaze fell on Fang Zheng, Zheng Kuo's expression froze, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, and there was a familiar pain in his chest.
"Why are you here?"
"Zheng Shao." Fang Zheng got up and raised his glass to signal:
"What a coincidence."
"Cheers?"
"......" Zheng Kuo squinted, his eyes flashed before he nodded:
"It's done!"
As he spoke, he drank it with his head held high, and after putting down the wine glass, he pulled Xiuxiu and left without saying a word, without the slightest intention of greeting others.
"Hey!"
Zhao Xiuxiu was stumbled by him, and hurriedly looked back to a few people:
"I'm sorry, I'll go first."
It wasn't until the backs of the two disappeared that everyone came back to their senses.
"It seems that Xiuxiu has really climbed the high branches." Someone sighed with emotion.
"Not necessarily!" A woman pouted:
"Looking at the situation just now, that man didn't respect her at all, maybe he was just playing, and after two days, he was afraid that he would throw it away when he got tired of playing."
"You love me, it has nothing to do with us, I don't know who will be the pick-up man."
"Hee-hee-hee......"
A few people muttered quietly, and there was a sarcasm in their words.
Everyone in the world loves money, but it does not prevent them from looking down on some people who cling to wealth, especially in exchange for their own appearance, which is even more despised, but it is not necessarily not jealous.
The way of the world......
The value of laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes is also very popular.
Of course, some people were curious and asked how they knew that Zheng Shao, and they were casually perfunctory by him.
Glancing at Shi Xin, who was ugly, Fang Zheng lowered his head and turned on his phone.
The sword god of the martial arts hobby group smiled and just @ him.
There is news about Fishing Toad, and you should be able to start it in the next few days.
