Six hundred and ninetieth chapters behind the scenes
At eight o'clock in the morning, Ye Fan followed Tang Ruoxue to the Bauhinia 100 real estate project.
This is Tang Ruoxue's largest real estate project, involving office buildings, plazas and residences. It is also one of Longdu's future landmarks.
The building is 500 meters high and has a total of 100 floors. When completed, it will be the second tallest building in Longdu. Its importance is second only to Ruoxue Baiyao.
After the death of Ruoxue Baiyao, it has become the most important project of Ruoxue Group next year, involving as much as 10 billion in funds.
So after hearing Gao Jing's report that something had happened to it, Tang Ruoxue immediately rushed there in a hurry.
"Two thousand workers suddenly collectively demanded that their salaries be paid in advance and that next month's salary be paid in advance for the Spring Festival."
"The salary is not much, and the overtime pay is about 20,000 per person. It will be paid out on the fifth day of next month as planned."
"There are still two weeks before the 5th, but they are shouting that they need to get the money in these two days, and they also need to get next month's salary."
"If we don't satisfy them, they will go on strike and stop working, and they will occupy the place and prevent others from entering or exiting."
"In fact, money doesn't matter, but I can't accept this attitude."
"And if next month's salary is advanced to them, at least 1,800 of the 2,000 people will not show up after the Spring Festival."
On the way forward, Tang Ruoxue informed Ye Fan of the matter in a flurry of words, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Ye Fan also nodded subconsciously. For today's factories and construction sites, manpower is always a headache.
The hard work in this industry has not only greatly increased workers' wages, but also destined them to become in-demand workers.
No one can guarantee that if they receive an extra month's salary in advance, they will be snatched away by other construction sites after the Spring Festival.
"There is another problem. The third-party accounting team we hired showed that the construction company was owed about 2,000 yuan after the accounting."
"This amount is consistent with the workers' salaries, but the four contractors said that our calculation was wrong and that we owe them 60 million for the project."
"Lawyers Gao Jing and Qin went to try to reason with them, but they refused to listen and insisted that we owed 60 million yuan."
"He also said that if the payment is not settled for one day, work will not start for one day."
In the advancing Lamborghini, Tang Ruoxue turned the steering wheel and informed Ye Fan of the situation reported by Gao Jing.
"This is the contractor's fault."
Ye Fan took over the topic: "Not only did he persuade the workers to threaten Ruoxue Group, he also wanted the lion to bite a piece of meat."
Although he didn't understand these construction matters, he could still see the problem at a glance.
"The leader is Miao Bohu, a contractor we worked with during the Tang Xifeng period, and was involved in more than a dozen projects."
Tang Ruoxue told Ye Fan another situation: "But he is also a thorn in the side, with a rough style and extreme methods."
"In order to save costs and meet construction deadlines, his construction team has accidents several times a year, but he is able to suppress them every time."
"During the holidays, he doesn't respect our Party A, and wants Party A to give him a personal bonus, otherwise he will let the workers drag their feet."
"I didn't want to use him at one time, but I was worried that he would cause trouble secretly, and the amount involved was only a few million, so I continued to cooperate with him."
Tang Ruoxue stepped lightly on the accelerator with her right foot: "I didn't expect him to stab me at this moment."
The corner of Ye Fan's mouth curled up: "We have been working together for many years and yet we are doing this. It is obvious that someone is instigating us behind the scenes."
"There must be a black hand behind it."
Tang Ruoxue stared at the traffic in front and turned the steering wheel skillfully:
"Because the project manager who has been following up on the project suddenly encountered a car accident last night and was admitted to the intensive care unit. He probably won't wake up for ten and a half days."
"If he doesn't wake up, he won't be able to check many details, and he won't be able to confront the contractor team."
"Now is the Spring Festival. If the matter is not calmed down quickly, the Labor Bureau will intervene."
"In fact, they also called Gao Jing just now. The matter must be properly resolved today, otherwise an investigation team will be sent in."
"You know, the arrears of wages to migrant workers has always been the most sensitive and important matter for the government, and it is also the material that the media likes to make a big fuss about."
"Once the official gets involved, the project will be a lot of trouble. Not only will the deposit need to be increased, but the settlement date will be advanced, disrupting the group's capital budget."
"The media will also magnify any mistakes to attract attention."
Tang Ruoxue's eyes flashed: "As a result, it will be difficult to complete the project normally next year."
"The manager was hit and the contractor team caused trouble. What a coincidence."
Ye Fan sat up slightly: "There is no doubt that this is a stumbling block set by Miao Jinge for you."
Tang Ruoxue was stunned: "It's possible."
She also thought that Miao Bohu seemed to be from Miaocheng too.
"These matters can be big or small. If we use Tang Sect's energy, we can probably resolve them easily."
Ye Fan suddenly smiled: "Why not let the Tang Sect put pressure on the Labor Bureau?"
"It's not like you don't know. My position as head of the house is just a transitional one."
A touch of self-mockery appeared on Tang Ruoxue's pretty face:
"Once the Thirteen Branches are stabilized and on the right track, I, the puppet, may be replaced at any time."
"The Tang Sect is waiting for me to make mistakes or do things poorly. How can they help me put pressure on the authorities?"
"The reason why I can still control thirteen branches now is because I hold the Yunding Mountain in my hand and the Tang Sect has not found a suitable candidate to replace me."
"But that day is probably not far away..."
"Tang Xifeng's grandson Tang Hailong is about to return from graduation..."
There was a hint of sadness in her tone. Is there anything in the world that is more depressing than making wedding clothes for others?
And you still have to work hard.
"Just change it!"
Ye Fan reached out and shook the woman's hand: "I wish they would replace you, so that you don't have to work so hard."
"Besides, you are Ye Tang Ruoxue now, and I am not the wimp I used to be. If you no longer hang out in the Tang Clan, I can support you."
"No, you should just resign and start your own business. I have nothing, but now I have more money and more industries."
"If it doesn't work, you can focus on the Yundingshan project."
Ye Fan's palms were extremely warm, giving Tang Ruoxue great warmth.
Tang Ruoxue's pretty face was a little touched. She could tell that Mark was not joking, and then she smiled softly:
"Wait until I get through this ordeal..."
She was indeed moved and wanted to jump out and work hard on her own, but she was worried about the Tang Sect's revenge on Ye Fan, so she could only suppress this idea temporarily.
Then, she changed the topic: "By the way, you give my mother the two billion, and I will find an opportunity to get it back for you another day."
"We are together and we don't need the two billion."
Her eyes were clear: "I can make the decision for myself."
"It's okay, just let her hold it."
Ye Fan smiled playfully: "That's a bride price. Once you give it, you can't take it back. And if you take it, she will object to us being together."
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind. After a while, Lin Qiuling would spit out the two billion to him, so he didn't need Tang Ruoxue to get it...
Tang Ruoxue wanted to say something more, but Ye Fan changed the subject:
"Give me the names of the contractors and all the project information."
"I don't believe it. I can't find out anything about them."
Ye Fan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Cai Lingzhi...
