Jiang Cheng had never thought that a dignified state-owned enterprise would actually be like some heartless private enterprise, actually owing the hard-earned money of this group of old employees.
After Jing Long finished his words, some of the old employees standing outside also said that they hadn't received the money either. They also asked Jiang Cheng, "Didn't you say that the money should have been paid half a month ago? Why hasn't the money been paid yet?"
The more the old employees talked, the more excited they became. Some of them even questioned Jiang Cheng's words. Did the government give the money to Jiang Cheng and let him pay it on their behalf?
Hearing this, the old employees all agreed. In the world they knew, the government and businessmen often colluded with each other. Jiang Cheng had spent money to buy this winery that was about to close down. It was reasonable to say that after receiving such a large sum of money, the government wouldn't delay the payment for the salaries of more than 100 old employees.
There were still more than 100 old employees who were still working here. Almost all of them had salaries of 20,000 to 30,000 RMB that they hadn't received yet. If one person was 20,000 to 30,000 RMB, 100 of them would be 2 to 3 million RMB. The government had just received more than 100 million RMB, so they wouldn't be short of 2 to 3 million RMB.
Therefore, the old employees couldn't help guessing that the government might have already given the money to Jiang Cheng and asked Jiang Cheng to transfer it to them.
After hearing this, even Tian Jinglong was shaken. He and Jiang Zhiguo were from the same village. According to seniority, Jiang Zhiguo was called uncle, and Jiang Cheng was called brother. It was because they were from the same village that Tian Jinglong was familiar with the customs of the Jiang family. Therefore, Tian Jinglong dared to complain to Jiang Cheng.
For the sake of tens of thousands of RMB, Jing Long even used his dignity as a man and knelt in front of Jiang Cheng, hoping that he could help.
As soon as Jiang Cheng saw that the situation was a bit messy, he hurriedly stood up and said to everyone, "Fellow workers, please calm down, calm down. I know many of you here, and you all know me. We're all from the same village. Don't you know who I, Jiang Cheng, am? Who do you think your father is?
We are all neighbors, so I basically know what kind of difficulties each family has. To be honest, after listening to Brother Tian's words, I was very angry, very angry, because when I signed the agreement, in order to let you get the wages that the old factory owes you, I specially added a clause to the agreement. That is, after I pay the government, the government should pay all the wages and medical expenses that are owed to you within seven days. It was clearly written in black and white on the paper, and it was very clear.
It's been a month, but I didn't expect that they still haven't paid the money to you. I admit that I didn't follow up on this point. It's my fault. I should keep an eye on them, supervise them, and ask them to hand over your hard-earned money to you. Here, I promise you, please give me three days. Within three days, I will definitely help you get the money back! "
Jiang Cheng also threw caution to the wind. He clearly knew that the old winery was in a bad economic situation, so he deliberately added this clause to the agreement. When the two sides negotiated, the winery and the deputy mayor in charge of industry didn't say anything. They generously agreed to Jiang Cheng's request and confidently patted their chests, saying, "This is the hard-earned money of the workers. How can we default on it? In the past, the factory was in a bad economic situation, so we had no choice but to pay the minimum living allowance first. The medical insurance and the remaining wages were always delayed. Now President Jiang has the courage and the courage to spend a huge sum of money to buy the old factory. This is also a support for the government. Therefore, as long as President Jiang's money arrives, we will definitely pay the workers' wages and medical insurance immediately!"
Jiang Cheng saw that the two leaders spoke so powerfully, so he believed in their words. He thought that after receiving his remittance, they would pay off the workers' money.
But he didn't expect that the truth would be like this. Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly overflowed with anger. He suppressed the anger in his heart and first persuaded the group of old employees to go to lunch. He immediately took out his cell phone and dialed the phone number of Mayor Wang Huasheng, who was in charge of the Finance Bureau, because Jiang Cheng's remittance was remitted to the account given by the Finance Bureau.
The phone was quickly connected, but it wasn't Wang Huasheng who answered the phone, but his secretary, Yu Xiaobai. Jiang Cheng didn't tell Secretary Yu about the matter. He just told him that he had a very important matter to look for Mayor Wang and hoped that Secretary Yu could pass it on.
Secretary Yu looked at his watch and found that it was already lunchtime. He euphemistically told Jiang Cheng that Mayor Wang was having lunch with a few important people, so it was not convenient for him to answer the phone now. If there was anything, he could call again after four o 'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Cheng made an 'oh' sound to indicate that he understood. After all, leaders were like this. Every day, if it wasn't a meal, it was still a meal. They only cared about eating all day long. But it didn't matter if they just ate and didn't work.
However, according to Jiang Cheng's understanding of Wang Huasheng, he was still very competent as a mayor. He was worried about the people's livelihood and the economy every day. Now, he didn't even have time to eat with his daughter, Wang Xue. In this regard, Wang Xue also complained to Jiang Cheng a few words, saying that since her dad was promoted, he had forgotten about his family.
However, their family was also a team of strange people. One was the mayor, and the other was a criminal police officer. Both father and daughter were workaholics. They worked overtime all day long, and they rarely met each other.
Jiang Cheng hung up the phone. His mood was very gloomy. The government's actions made him very uncomfortable. They had clearly promised to do something, but they broke their promise. This was really not a good thing. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. This saying in the ancient teachings was not wrong.
Jiang Cheng hung up the phone and picked up Qin Qin's M3 from the parking lot. He drove the customer, Zhang Zicheng, straight to the high-speed rail station. Originally, Jiang Cheng didn't need to personally send Zhang Zicheng, a middle-priced sales manager. However, the winery didn't have enough funds, and the car team hadn't been established yet. Most of the cars were driven out by the salesmen to run the orders. Therefore, as the boss, Jiang Cheng had to personally send the customer to the high-speed rail.
In the car, Zhang Zicheng asked Jiang Cheng, "President Jiang, why did you think of adding such an agreement to the acquisition contract? You have to know that the previous salary of these old employees has nothing to do with you! Even if the old factory owes them wages, you shouldn't be the one to ask for it for them. They should be the ones to do it themselves. Why did you do this? "
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment. He didn't answer Zhang Zicheng directly. Instead, he changed his way of answering Zhang Zicheng's question.
He said, "President Zhang, I don't know if you've ever tried it when you were a kid. A family of three, in a snowy weather, huddled in a house that didn't even have tiles. This house doesn't get any sunlight all year round. The windows aren't ventilated and can't be opened because there are piles of garbage outside the windows. As soon as the windows are opened, the smell from the garbage will fill the whole house."
Zhang Zicheng didn't understand. He continued to ask Jiang Cheng, "What does this have to do with the promise you made to the workers today?"
Jiang Cheng said firmly, "Of course it has something to do with it. In our village, every family is like this. We are a group of people living at the bottom of the shantytown. We don't get attention from society, we don't have street welfare, and we can't afford to go to expensive kindergarten. If we want to go to school, we can't even bear to take the bus. We can only walk to school because it costs one yuan to take the bus. When we first went to school, we only had three to five yuan for lunch a day. If we take the bus, it means that we are likely to go hungry at noon!
As for those old employees just now, they are all from the same village as me. They are all my elders. I, Jiang Cheng, have a good life. I can still afford a salary in this life. But what about them? Their lives aren't as good as mine!
It's said on the Internet that the rich can do whatever they want. If they don't have money, they resign themselves to fate. Maybe they don't have any hope for their lives and destiny, but their hope is on the next generation, on their children. Why do they work hard every day to make money? It's all for their children and grandchildren. They don't want to be poor like them!
Tens of thousands of yuan may not be a lot of money for us. It's not even enough for a meal for some local tycoons. But for them, it's a middle-aged father with white hair. It's the hard-earned money of a year or even several years in their hometown.
I'm not doing this for anything. I just want to do what a person with a conscience would do. I want to be a capitalist with a conscience! "
Jiang Cheng's words were very serious. It made Zhang Zicheng, who was born in a well-off family, look at him in a new light. He originally thought that Jiang Cheng also relied on his parents' power to have such a large capital to open a winery. But through what he said just now, he understood that Jiang Cheng was a person with real ability!
After listening to these words, Zhang Zicheng's impression of Jiang Cheng suddenly changed.
Jiang Cheng sent Zhang Zicheng to the high-speed train. Before boarding the train, Jiang Cheng promised that the rest of the money would be settled within half a month. Zhang Zicheng was completely convinced by Jiang Cheng. He comforted Zhang Zicheng by saying that if the funds were tight, it didn't matter if the payment was delayed. Zhang Zicheng could wait until he got his funds back. As for the company, he could talk to them.
