It turned out that the villagers of Dongshui Village received the results today after the free medical check-up organized by the city. Three new cancer cases were found, 31 people had severe respiratory diseases, and more than 150 people had excessive levels of heavy metals and chemical substances in their bodies. When the news got out, Dongshui Village was in an uproar again. The villagers organized themselves and went to the Taifu Chemical Factory to demand an explanation and compensation. Who knew that after the Taifu Chemical Factory was shut down by the district, the boss and the factory director saw that the situation was not good. One ran back to Taiwan, and the other ran away to hide. Now, no one in the factory could take responsibility, let alone satisfy the villagers' demands.
When the villagers heard that the boss and the factory director had run away, they were agitated. They rushed into the factory and smashed everything in sight, saying that they wanted to destroy the entire factory. Some of them even went to the Subdistrict Office to make a fuss and ask the government to arrest the boss and the factory director. The situation was very tense. The Donghe Subdistrict Office did not dare to take responsibility and immediately contacted the District Government for help. The District Government did not have anyone in charge now, so they called the District Committee. When the District Committee Secretary, Tang Haoran, heard about it, he immediately rushed to the Donghe Subdistrict Office to comfort the villagers. However, the villagers of Dongshui Village did not believe the words of the district. Tang Haoran tried his best to persuade them, but to no avail. He had no choice but to ask the Municipal Party Committee for help.
When Du Minsheng finally received the news, he knew that the situation was urgent and had to be resolved immediately. Otherwise, the Taifu Chemical Factory and the Donghe Subdistrict Office would be in danger. Therefore, he decided to set off immediately to the two locations to persuade the villagers to go home. He considered that Li Rui was familiar with the situation in Dongshui Village and knew some of the village leaders and villagers. He might be able to help. Therefore, he called him before he set off and asked him if he was in the city. Naturally, he called him to listen to his instructions.
In the end, this delayed Li Rui's treasure hunt. However, Li Rui also knew what was important and what was not. He knew what was important and what was not. Therefore, he did not feel disgusted. He only lamented that the villagers of Dongshui Village lived a difficult life.
When Li Rui arrived at the Municipal Party Committee's compound, he saw Du Minsheng's car parked in the square in front of the building. He was ready to leave. He quickly ran forward, opened the car door, and got in. There were already three people in the car: the driver, Du Minsheng, and the secretary, Feng Jun.
When Du Minsheng saw him, he hurriedly ordered the driver to start the car. The Audi A6 slowly drove out of the Municipal Party Committee compound, merged into the main road, and accelerated in the direction of Dongshui Village.
On the way, Du Minsheng asked, "Xiao Rui, do you have a good solution?"
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Today's conflict is mainly about the compensation. However, Boss Tai Fu has already returned to Taiwan, so he definitely can't be caught immediately. This means that the villagers of Dongshui Village won't be able to get the compensation immediately. Thus, this problem can't be easily solved. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to solve this through emotional or administrative means. At this time, the Northern District Government will have to take the blame and take out some real money as compensation for the time being. We will first distribute some of the money to the sick villagers to solve today's problem. "
Feng Jun, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned around and looked at him with admiration. He thought to himself that the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary was really amazing. He immediately grasped the crux of the problem and came up with a very feasible solution. Before this, all he could think of was to persuade the villagers of Dongshui Village with his boss and use the name of a city leader to influence them. Now that he thought about it, he was still too naive. He was far inferior to the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
Du Minsheng nodded in agreement. He said, "Good idea. The Northern District Government doesn't have to take out too much money. Give each of the cancer patients 5,000 yuan as compensation. As for the other patients, if they are seriously ill, they will be given 1,000 yuan, and if they are not seriously ill, they will be given 500 yuan. I believe this should be enough to temporarily calm the situation."
Li Rui added, "At the same time, the major hospitals in the city will receive three new cancer patients and organize treatment for the other patients. With these two approaches, I believe this problem can be temporarily solved. Of course, we still have to catch the owner of the Taiwan Hospital. Don't pay attention to the factory director. The factory director is just a salaried worker. The real person who pays is the boss. If we can't catch him, then it's easy to deal with. We can just sell the chemical factory and use the proceeds to treat the villagers. "
Du Minsheng was very satisfied. He nodded and said, "Xiao Rui, thank goodness I caught you and you gave me these two good ideas. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of them." Li Rui said modestly, "Secretary General, it's not that you didn't think of them. You just don't understand the situation in Dongshui Village. Actually, these two ideas don't require much skill." Du Minsheng smiled and said, "Let's go and solve this first. After this matter is settled, you can call the Secretary and explain." Li Rui said, "Okay, I'll remember it."
The car sped and soon arrived at the entrance of the Dongshui Subdistrict Office. Sitting in the car, they could see a large group of people gathered downstairs. The group was divided into two groups. One group was dressed as villagers and should be the villagers of Dongshui Village. The other group was dressed as leaders. There were 20 to 30 of them. They were all dressed in suits and leather shoes and were trying to persuade the villagers. There were seven to eight policemen standing around the crowd. They were trying to maintain order on the street and prevent passers-by from stopping to watch. Of course, they were also afraid that someone with ulterior motives would take a picture of this scene and post it on the Internet to create rumors.
When Du Minsheng saw this scene, he did not wait for Feng Jun to open the car door. He opened the car door and walked out. Li Rui and Feng Jun hurriedly followed him.
The Secretary of the Northern District Committee, Tang Haoran, was standing in front of the group of district leaders. He was still trying to persuade the villagers to go home. When he saw an Audi A6 with a serial number stop, he immediately realized that it was the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, Du Minsheng. He hurriedly led the district team members to welcome him.
Tang Haoran was very smart. This time, when he came to the Dongshui Subdistrict Office to solve the problem, he did not forget to call his team members who were at home. He asked them to persuade the villagers of Dongshui Village together. This would not only increase the efficiency, but also prevent the focus from being on him. It could be considered a transfer of risk.
When Du Minsheng saw Tang Haoran coming forward, he stopped and asked, "How is the situation?"
Tang Haoran sighed bitterly. "It's not working at all. We have 11 team members in our district, and seven of them are here. Everyone is trying their best to persuade them, but it's still not working. The villagers are so angry that they won't listen to us. Some are shouting, some are crying, and some are lying on the ground pretending to be dead. Some are even threatening to go to the Municipal Party Committee to make a scene in front of the Municipal Government … It's a complete mess. I have to say that the quality of the villagers is really low … "
Du Minsheng asked expressionlessly, "How did you persuade them?"
Tang Haoran smiled bitterly. "I told them that the government will definitely stand up for them. They will definitely arrest the owner and director of the chemical factory and make the factory pay compensation for their treatment. But they can't make a scene now. They have to go back to the village and wait for news …"
When Li Rui heard this, he thought to himself. Things have already come to this point, and you still want to fool the villagers with empty words like before. How can you solve the problem? The villagers don't see any sincerity from you, so why would they believe you? You think that the villagers are low quality? If you're high quality, then we'll let you suffer from environmental pollution for five years. We'll tell you when you get cancer. Go home and wait for news. The government will stand up for you. Do you agree?
Du Minsheng turned his head and looked at Li Rui beside him. He felt lucky that he asked him to come on this trip. Otherwise, he would have to be like Secretary Tang in front of him. He would have to make empty promises to the villagers of Dongshui Village and then use his name as a city leader to influence them. As for whether he could influence them or not, it all depended on luck. He sighed in his heart and said, "Call all the team members here and form a circle. I have something to say."
Tang Haoran hurriedly obeyed. He turned around and called the team members who had already gathered in front of him. Everyone gathered in a circle and listened to Du Minsheng, the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, lecture them.
Du Minsheng looked around at the team members and finally fixed his gaze on Tang Haoran's face. "Empty words can't resolve the conflict at hand. You have to take action and change the hearts of the villagers of Dongshui Village through your actions. Secretary Tang, I request that you immediately convene a meeting of the district committee to discuss the issue of compensation. My suggestion is that before we capture Boss Tai Fu, the northern district government will compensate the villagers with a certain amount of compensation. It doesn't have to be a lot, but it must show the villagers the sincerity of the district committee. Furthermore, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government will also allow the hospitals in the city to treat the villagers with cancer as soon as possible. We have to work on both sides and try to resolve the current situation as soon as possible. We can't delay any longer. "
Tang Haoran nodded his head. "Yes, yes. We understand. We'll discuss it immediately." He then turned to the Deputy Mayor of the district committee, Zhu Xinnian. "Mayor Zhu, you're now in charge of the district committee. How much money do you think the district committee can fork out? Also, how much compensation should we give to each villager?"
Everyone, including Du Minsheng, looked at Zhu Xinnian. They wanted to see what he had to say.
Zhu Xinnian's expression was unnatural when he was stared at by Du Minsheng. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty and looked at Tang Haoran. "The district committee can … can fork out a lot of money. I just don't know … how much should we give?"
Tang Haoran looked at the other team members and asked. "How much do you think should we give?"
The team members looked at each other. No one spoke. It seemed that no one wanted to stand out at this crucial moment. After all, if they said or did something wrong, it could lead to serious political consequences. But if they didn't say anything, at least they wouldn't have to bear any consequences.
