After a short pause, Chen Xing picked up the phone immediately. From the serial number of the internal line, Chen Xing already knew who was calling. It was the internal line of Zhou Zhiming's office!
When Chen Xing picked up the phone and was still thinking about how to deal with Zhou Zhiming, he heard a scolding. Comrade Chen Xing, what on earth is your Jiang City Municipal Government trying to do? Are you deliberately embarrassing the provincial army?
Zhou Zhiming's tone was a little harsh. On the other end of the phone, Chen Xing was dumbfounded. What is he talking about?
Governor Zhou, I'm sorry. I don't understand what you mean. After a short daze, Chen Xing quickly adjusted his thoughts.
The workers of Jiangqi have blocked the gate of the Provincial government. Is your Jiang City Municipal Government so incompetent? Zhou Zhiming questioned him on the phone.
Governor Zhou, our city doesn't know about this situation for the time being. Don't worry. We will bring them back immediately and solve the problem properly. Chen Xing said in a low voice.
They didn't talk on the phone for long, just a few words. After hanging up Zhou Zhiming's call, Chen Xing's face darkened slightly. Chen Xing preferred to regard Zhou Zhiming's call as a warning to him regarding Jiang Qi's attitude. Otherwise, why would Zhou Zhiming call him personally to question him in such a situation?
What happened to the workers of Jiangqi? Kong Zhengliang and Liu Changtao looked at Chen Xing with concern. They only knew one thing about the phone call. Except that they knew it was from Zhou Zhiming, they didn't hear Zhou Zhiming's words clearly.
The workers of Jiangqi have gone to the Provincial government. Zhengliang, I'll leave this matter to you. Contact the management of Jiangqi immediately and bring the workers back. Chen Xing glanced at Kong Zhengliang and ordered. Kong Zhengliang was the most suitable person to handle this matter because he was in charge of the state assets.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Kong Zhengliang didn't refuse. He knew that it was an urgent matter. Without any delay, he stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go over first."
After Kong Zhengliang left, only Chen Xing and Liu Changtao were left in the office. Liu Changtao looked at Chen Xing and asked. Why did a worker of Jiangqi suddenly go to the Provincial government? Did someone purposely instigate him?
Hmm? Chen Xing was stunned. Liu Changtao's words made Chen Xing think of another possibility. He hadn't thought about it before, but now he couldn't help but suspect that it was Jianshe Chen's doing.
Chen Jianshe had come to me to ask for funds, but not only had I rejected him, but I had also said that I would discuss canceling Jiang Qi's funds in the city. Did he hate me because of this? Chen Xing raised his eyebrows.
Oh, you said something like this to Jianshe Chen? Surprise flashed in Liu Changtao's eyes. That's possible. Chen Jianshe is a typical bureaucratic capitalist. His flattery skills are first-rate, but his ability to do business is third-rate. If you ask me, he has to bear at least half of the responsibility for Jiang Qi's current predicament.
Hehe, if he hears your evaluation of Jianshe Chen, then you have successfully attracted hatred. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
So be it. I don't like him anyway. But I won't be bothered if he has more dealings with Comrade Zhengliang. Liu Changtao curled his lips.
Chen Xing heard Liu Changtao's words and didn't say anything more. The city was in a passive position now, especially when he didn't agree to give Jiang Qi more funds. Chen Xing had reason to believe that Jianshe Chen had deliberately made trouble to force him to agree to give Jiang Qi more funds.
After chatting with Liu Changtao for a while, Liu Changtao went back first. On the other side, Kong Zhengliang and the management of Jiangqi had successfully brought the workers back. Chen Xing had specially told Kong Zhengliang to do the ideological work of the workers, and not to take too forceful measures. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and nothing uncontrollable happened.
The workers' request was actually very simple, which was to pay the wages in arrears. However, there was no reply from the factory, so the workers could only find a way by themselves. As for whether the workers were deliberately instructed to go to the provincial government, there was no way to know.
In the evening, Chen Xing, who stayed behind to work overtime, had a simple dinner in his office. Seeing the sky getting dark, Chen Xing called Yu Zhiyuan. Yu, let's go to Jiangqi.
Going to Jiangqi at this time? Mayor, should we inform the staff of Jiangqi? Yu Zhiyuan looked at the time. It was almost seven o 'clock, and the staff of Jiangqi's company should have gotten off work long ago.
No, let's just go for a walk. Chen Xing waved his hand.
Yu Zhiyuan understood Chen Xing's meaning. Chen Xing was going to Jiangqi for a private visit!
There was no doubt that Chen Xing had his own considerations for choosing such a time to go to Jiangqi. Yu Zhiyuan didn't stay idle. He asked Miao Yuanliang to prepare the car. When they went downstairs, Miao Yuanliang had already driven the car over and was waiting for them.
It was six or seven o 'clock, which was also the peak time of the urban traffic. After leaving the Municipal Government, the car drove slowly. After driving for more than 20 minutes, it finally arrived at Jiangqi.
After getting off the car, Chen Xing and the other two walked into Jiangqi. The gate of the factory was open, and workers came in and out from time to time. If some workers hadn't gone to the Provincial government to petition during the day, no one could see anything unusual about Jiangqi. In the security room at the gate, two security guards were sitting and chatting. The workers who came in and out from time to time were also talking and laughing occasionally. Only from the faces of some workers who were in a hurry and looked worried, people could feel that Jiangqi, a large state-owned enterprise, was facing an uncertain future.
Chen Xing had been here once before, and many workers could recognize him. However, because it was night time this time, the workers who passed by from time to time did not notice him. Moreover, not everyone knew Chen Xing. Although there were many workers who participated in the workers' riot last time, not all of them were involved.
Walking on the pebbled path inside the factory, Jiangqi was a state-owned enterprise that was built in the middle of the eighties. It rose in the nineties, but it started to decline at the beginning of the new century. Everywhere in the factory, one could see its profound history. However, from another perspective, it also reflected its backward side.
Jiangqi's factory area was vast. At first glance, you could see dozens of old-fashioned workers' dormitories. They were built during the glorious era of Jiangqi. Now, many of the dormitories were empty. During the glorious era, Jiangqi had tens of thousands of workers. But now, the number of workers had shrunk by more than ten times. Some of them were laid off, and some of them knew that they had no hope of staying here, so they left early to find other jobs.
Jiangqi relied on the production of parts from some big automobile factories to survive. Every year, they couldn't make ends meet. Some people said that Jiangqi's most valuable asset was their land. I think it makes sense. Yu Zhiyuan walked next to Chen Xing and said in a low voice.
The one who said that was either a real estate developer or someone related to a real estate developer. Chen Xing smiled faintly.
Maybe. Yu Zhiyuan scratched his head and smiled. His uncle was also a real estate developer. Since Chen Xing wasn't interested in developing the real estate industry, Yu Zhiyuan wouldn't be stupid enough to talk about this topic.
The three of them walked around the factory. The huge factory area wasn't really prosperous. After all, it used to be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people. Now, it only had a few thousand people. No matter what, it couldn't be lively.
Soon, the three of them walked to an open-air square in the factory. There were many people dancing in the square, and the music was also playing loudly. It was a joyous scene.
