Chapter 366 Yongyang Lighting seeks votes
The typo was later corrected] When I thought about getting rich, I was unpredictable and unhurried, with a face full of joy:
"The Supervisory Office investigates and asks your boss to come out!"
Only then did Scarface clearly see the black uniform under the collar of the unpredictable windbreaker. He originally thought that the young man was going to stand up for the striking workers, so he fired without any scruples.
After all, after receiving the order from above, the stalemate broke up after a period of time. If any workers showed up, they could be killed without mercy.
At this time, I couldn't get off the stage.
If we give in, but in front of hundreds of workers behind us, the originally stalemate situation may get out of control, and it may really be unstoppable.
Hard talk won't work! This young man is from the Supervision Bureau, and it will be even more troublesome if he offends the authorities.
The thugs hired by the factory will not be stupid, without any discernment, and they are not likely to offend others by making decisions for the boss. It is impossible for a brainless idiot to get a job as a thug. Most bosses are smooth in dealing with things.
If you say this without thinking, it is essentially whether the "job" can withstand the "bloody" will, unless the scar is not worried about his own job, or is a relative of the factory owner.
Dao Scar was a man who had seen the wind and waves. He felt annoyed that he had caused trouble, but he also responded quickly. He put his arm around Mu Zhi's shoulders and turned around with Mu Zhi.
With his back to the workers behind him, there was no need to worry about being seen. Scar then smiled with a smile on his face:
"Brother, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"Don't be angry with brother. It will be over in a while. Brother will buy you a drink to make amends."
They are all human beings! They are all a piece of society's flesh. Unexpectedly, he secretly laughed, but his face did not change at all, and he said coldly:
"I don't dare. I'm afraid there's a gun in the wine."
I just want to have a drink and let it go. There's no way to expose this matter! You don't seem to be a relative of the factory owner, you are so quick to give up!
It is unpredictable that this kind of person will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit. He will figure out the guy holding his shoulder in a few words.
And what he said just now, he naturally held on to this shot, and Scarface naturally understood.
It's nothing more than a cunning plunder by officials.
Cursing his luck secretly, Scar pursed his lips:
"Brother, who are you looking for in our factory? The boss is inside!"
This guy is such a wonderful guy, he almost laughed out loud.
He knew that he had to hold on to this matter and sold the boss directly, thinking that the boss would "pay the bill".
Isn't it just about losing money? Everyone knows in their hearts that Scar doesn't want to pay for it himself.
He has scars on his face, a fierce appearance, and a gun on his waist. But he is just a coward who relies on the power of a fox to survive.
He is also a migrant worker who has been ravaged by society.
It doesn't matter if it's unpredictable. Maybe the factory owner can solve the problem and get a little more compensation.
Are you a social veteran? You know how to benefit.
Unpredictable easily followed Scar's footsteps, walked through the corridor of the management room one after another, and directly met the boss of "Yongyang Lighting".
A middle-aged man in his forties, a European, introduced himself as Malm Ron.
Putting down the shooting incident for the time being, Mo Zhi sat on the sofa and explained his purpose.
The middle-aged boss was obviously relieved and asked Scar to call the foreman in charge of recruiting workers and said with a smile:
"What's going on outside makes you laugh. These lowly wage earners are causing trouble. It's really a headache."
Mo Zhi smiled and nodded. Just one glance at the middle-aged boss's expression and he understood why he relaxed.
He probably mistakenly thought that he was going to participate in this strike as an official.
Without intervention from above, the strike would be nothing more than a riot, but if the boss takes action, it will be difficult for the boss.
He doesn't want to pay workers' wages at all!
"Why didn't you stop work?" Mo Zhi asked casually, as if he had a clear mind.
"Of course we can't stop working!"
The boss personally poured a cup of black tea for Mo Chou and placed it in front of Mo Chou:
"We, Yongyang Lighting, are responsible for the city hall's order work and need to deliver 200,000 light bulbs before the Changsheng Festival."
Lightbulb? Suddenly something moved in his heart and he asked:
"Is it an electric light to replace the oil lantern?"
The boss smiled brightly and nodded repeatedly:
"Mr. Mo knows about this, haha, yes, it's this order."
"This year's Longevity Festival is coming to the province, and the city hall is worried that it will cause fires like in previous years. The official paid for it and ordered 200,000 light bulbs, which were then distributed to hot spring citizens for free."
"This is the business that our Yongyang Lighting took over, so we worked on it until yesterday before delivering the goods."
I discussed this matter with Ding's father, and Andre also said that it was a waste for the federal government to spend this money. It turned out that the lamps were made by this factory.
Before Mo Zhi could speak, Scarface had already walked in with the foreman.
After hearing Mo Zhi's name, the foreman showed a look of reminiscence on his face and quickly punched his fists with both hands:
"Yes, Liang Ai, I remember this Liang Ai!"
"He is our temporary worker, this guy I recruited myself."
After checking, Ai Liang was indeed working here. Mo Zhi nodded:
"Tell me more!"
"This guy is a very bad bastard. He has a good skin for nothing, but he is not good at work and is always lazy!" After hearing the unpredictable inquiry, the foreman complained endlessly:
"I'm very impressed by him! This guy only worked for two days in total. He was very inattentive and couldn't keep up with the output of the female workers."
"I originally planned to drive him away, but he stopped coming on the third day. It's okay not to be a garbage worker like this."
How dare you talk about firing the agent of the "Shadow" organization? That must be at least a semi-spiritual level, and Mo Zhi smiled bitterly.
It seems that Ai Liang did come to this factory to work for two days, but what was his purpose of doing this?
It's puzzling
Could it be that you think it's not normal to stay in a hotel all the time, and you're worried that it will attract other people's attention, so you come to work to cover it up?
No, it can't be that simple. If you want to behave normally, Ai Liang obviously has many better choices.
Mo Zhi was suspicious, and after asking the foreman a few more questions, he found no other noteworthy clues.
The foreman could only be asked to leave.
After finishing the business, Mo Zhi took a sip of tea, looked at the scar next to him, and said to the factory owner:
"Your men are very vicious. Without saying a word, they just came up and shot me."
"Fortunately, I'm pretty good at hiding quickly!"
Scarface looked at the factory owner awkwardly.
In just one sentence, the factory owner already understood what Mo Zhi meant. He glared at Scar angrily and smiled at Mo Zhi:
"It's our fault for frightening Mr. Mo."
After saying that, he reached out and took out a brown paper bag from the drawer, stood up and walked to Mo Zhi:
"It's just a small thing to calm Mr. Mo's shock."
Yes, very good! Mobi was surprised by the other party's cooperation. He glanced at the thickness of the kraft paper and found that it should be about ten gold dollars.
This is usually an integer, which is ten gold dollars.
"As expected of someone who takes orders from the city hall, Mr. Ron's business is booming."
Unpredictable complimented indifferently, reached out to take the paper bag, and stuffed it into his windbreaker pocket:
"This matter is over."
After a pause, Unpredictable chuckled.
"If there's anything else Boss Ron wants me to do, you can just tell me."
The other party paid for "Scar" without hesitation, and actively "contributed" ten gold dollars, which showed that it was not just a matter of Scar's threat. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he suddenly understood that the other party had other things.
Purpose.
The components of these ten gold dollars are probably not only "mundane expenses", but also part of "relationship expenses". Unexpectedly, I don't think that when I meet the other party for the first time, I have the honor to make the other party willing to spend money to take care of it. After all,
, I am just an inspector.
Therefore, the other party must be asking for something! Also, since this is the first time they meet, it is probably not an excessive request.
As an official, you naturally need to be more flexible in your mind, and Mu Zhi has no problem in this regard.
Boss Ron laughed a few times when he heard this and said:
"Mr. Mo is a smart man and cheerful!"
"I don't have any requirements, I just hope you don't bring up what's going on here."
Mobi looked at the smile lines in the corners of Boss Ron's eyes and immediately understood what he was worried about:
"Don't worry, Boss Ron, I won't make you feel uncomfortable."
After finishing speaking, Mo Zhi smiled and added: "Factories that can take orders from the city hall also have connections behind them."
"Hahaha" Malm Roan laughed:
"Mr. Mo is indeed an official."
"I got to know Mr. Mo today, so I might as well make a friend and take care of him in the future."
Unpredictable smiled and nodded, paused, then frowned and said:
"However, I am still very confused about this, Mr. Ron."
"Your father-in-law is actually able to take orders from the city hall. You must not be short of working capital such as workers' wages, right?"
"If you are willing to make friends with me, why can't you calm down and let these workers disperse?"
"You need to know!" Unpredictable's face turned solemn:
"The number one person in Shouyang Province is in Hot Spring City. If something happens, no one can save Yongyang Lighting."
That's right, Boss Ron is still afraid that the strike will become a big issue and the authorities will get involved. Moreover, if a conflict occurs during the provincial inspection, the image of the matter will only be infinitely magnified, and it will not be able to end in the end.
But since you are worried about this, why should you delay the payment of wages? It is obvious that you can earn a lot of money from government orders. Also, since you are willing to spend ten gold dollars to "befriend" a grassroots inspector like Mo Zhi, he must be
Lord, you are not short of money.
Hearing this, Malm Ron took a deep look at Mo Zhi, hesitated for a long time, and then sighed:
"I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Mo! Our company, Yongyang Lighting, will declare bankruptcy after the Changsheng Festival and the federal government will bid for it."
"Although I have made a lot of money from the orders from the city hall, as you know, it is difficult to get money from the government. There are various reasons for arrears. I am afraid that the payment may not be able to be settled next year."
Looking at Malm's distressed expression, I can't help but feel the same way. It seems that many companies were dragged into bankruptcy by federal debt in the past life.
After thinking for a while, Mo Zhi asked:
"Don't your factory have a federal background?"
After hearing this, Malm sighed heavily again:
"Our factory has a stake in a big shot. Unfortunately, this big shot passed away a few days ago."
Unexpectedly, his heart moved, and his mouth opened in surprise.
Does this matter seem to have something to do with you?
It seems that the big shot in Hot Springs City who left a few days ago was Sheriff Maeve Foresta, right?
This factory belongs to Maeve Foresta?!
Seeing Mu Zhi was a little surprised, but Malm thought that as a member of the officialdom, he had already guessed who it was, and explained:
"That's right, it's the Chief of Public Security, Mr. Mev Foresta. He is the boss behind this factory and owns 61% of the shares of the factory company."
"It is precisely because of his relationship that Yongyang Lighting was able to get the order from the city hall."
"It's a pity that he left suddenly a few days ago. This is our factory. You know, as the factory director, I am just a more senior worker."
Unpredictable suddenly understood the whole story.
This factory is the "private property" of Maeve Foresta. This is not surprising. Many federal officials have capital and industry. This is a common phenomenon in Rodinia.
Although it had won the official order from the city hall, with the death of Maeve Foresta, the factory had lost its backer and it became extremely difficult to get the money from the city hall.
No, I'm afraid it's not just that. Boss Ron said that this factory will be auctioned, which means that the power of the city council will be reshuffled, and this factory is naturally one of the "cards".
The way of playing cards is to see who will buy the bottom after the factory goes bankrupt and auctions.
"There is indeed a little money on the books, which is enough to pay workers' wages."
Boss Ron said to Mo Zhi:
"But if all the working capital is sent out, the books will not look good. You know the auction audit thing!"
Having said this, Ron smiled bitterly, with a hint of ruthlessness on his face:
"They are nothing more than a group of working maggots. If we don't pay them wages, they will only be causing trouble for a while. What else can we do?"
"There are plenty of workers. As long as I can continue to work for the new boss after the auction next year, and as long as work can start, I can recruit a large number of new workers."
Um~~~A typical capitalist position, but you are obviously just a high-level worker, do you really think of yourself as the master? Mo Zhi sneered in his heart, but there was still no flaw on his face, and he was half a meter thick with shame.
:
"Mr. Ron is really good at business and knows how to reduce costs. I admire him."
"Mr. Mo, thank you." Ron naturally couldn't see through the professional pretense of "Inner Nightmare" level.
"Don't worry about my side! Even if someone brings this matter to the Supervision Office, I will stop it." Seeing that the time was almost up, Mo Chou stood up and left, not forgetting to explain in the end:
"However, it's best not to make the matter a big deal. As far as God is concerned, no one can save Yongyang Lighting."
Unpredictably walked out without any psychological pressure.
Malm Ron, who sent the guests back to the office, showed disdain and muttered:
"The moths on these Iron Gods are disgusting!"
Unpredictable went out and once again passed through the group of workers gathered outside the factory management room.
Most of them were in ragged clothes and looked tired. They must have been fighting against the gray-clad thugs all day long.
Most of their faces are full of hunger, they can't even get their meager salary, and their eyes are full of confusion about the future.
Behind each of them, there may be a family with a wife and children to support.
As Unpredictable walked through the middle of them, the initial expectations for this young man who dared to "come forward" dissipated and were replaced by the same numbness.
I'm not the savior, so why are you looking at me? Mo Zhi was silent in his heart and walked straight out of the factory.
Seeing Zong Baiyi still waiting in the corner behind the hotel, Mobi signaled him to wait a moment, then turned and entered the Sophia Hotel.
I borrowed a public phone and called the Transportation Department directly. As an inspector, I contacted Ding's father who was accompanying the provincial inspection team.
"Deputy Speaker Ding, I am Xiao Mo."
Unexpectedly, he held up the microphone and laughed softly:
"Deputy Speaker Ding, I have something to report to you as soon as possible. The workers at Yongyang Lighting in the Southern District are on strike. Someone has fired a gun and almost hit me just now."
"No, no, no, I have the responsibilities of the Supervisory Office. I am not trying to get an explanation for myself. I just feel that this matter is going to break out, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to end."
"Ouyang Province is in our Hot Spring City. This may affect the image of our Hot Spring City."
"After thinking about this matter for a long time, I have to report it to you first. You have been working hard to establish a trade union, isn't it just to protect the rights of workers?"
"I'm afraid I'll have to take action from you."
After hanging up the phone, I felt relieved.
Ding’s father is definitely going to take action! After all, it’s during the provincial inspection period, so don’t cause any trouble.
And based on Ding’s father’s consistent stance, he should find a way to get these workers paid.
Although this is equivalent to defrauding Malm Ron of ten gold dollars in relationship fees, it is unpredictable and has no psychological burden.
My title is the nightmare of the heart, and my obsession is "fraud"!
What happened to defrauding you of money?
You are the one who was lied to!
Besides, they didn’t lie to Malm Ron. This matter was not reported to the Inspectorate, but directly reported to the Deputy Speaker of Hot Spring City.
Uh-huh, I'm not lying to you.
Get on the bus and go straight back to the Supervision Office with Zongchen.
Zong Baiyi has already reported the matter and notified Captain Vera.
Seeing the unpredictable silence, Zong Baiyi asked:
"Is there anything gained from going to the factory? Are there any clues about Ai Liang?"
Mobi shook his head: "I just made sure that he did go to that factory to work for two days."
"In this case, it would be even more confusing."
"Why would Ai Liang go to Yongyang Lighting when he has nothing to do? I really can't figure it out."
Zongchen frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "I think it should be related to the conspiracy of the Changsheng Festival."
"Moreover, Ai Liang went to work in person, which shows that this matter probably cannot be replaced by others, which is a key part."
Unpredictable was reminded by Zong Baiyi, and suddenly he felt as if he had caught something vaguely, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Various clues are intertwined with each other, and there seems to be some strange connection, but it is impossible to see the whole picture from the part.
It seems that it needs to be sorted out.
Mozhi nodded and said, "Let's go back to the Supervision Office first."
"I'm going to find Red Fang now."
