I thought about it and then said to him: "Call Li Wenwu over to me right away. I think his persuasion from outside will have no effect."
Li Wenwu came soon, and I immediately asked him: "What's going on? Didn't you say there was no problem last time? Why did everyone suddenly come to the city hall?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "Who knows? I also heard the news suddenly. The people in the factory union didn't know anything about it beforehand. Mayor Feng, what should I do now? Those people didn't listen to the greeting at all and said they had to see me.
you."
I said: "Okay. But they can't all come in at the same time. It will be difficult to control the situation if they all come in. You let them choose 20 representatives to come in, and we sit down and talk slowly."
Then I asked the Secretary-General of the General Office to arrange the meeting room immediately, "The tea is ready, be polite to them."
He asked me: "Mayor Feng, what other leaders will be needed to go with you to talk to them?"
I thought for a while and said, "Just me and Mayor Wu. Huh? Why isn't Mayor Wu here today?"
He said: "Mayor Wu is having a meeting in the industrial park today. I will call him right away."
I nodded, "At that time, there will be no police on duty in the city government, and there will be no need for security guards. Mayor Wu and I will just go and talk to them. You can go too and take notes of our conversation."
My idea is very simple, that is, I don’t want those laid-off workers to be hostile to us. I believe there must be a reason for this, but no matter what the reason is, it can only be done with mutual trust.
Sit down and have a good conversation. I always believe that these laid-off workers should be reasonable. Even if they are unreasonable, it is just the result of no one's instigation for a while. Therefore, it is even more important for everyone to sit down and have a good conversation as equals.
Li Wenwu came back after a while. He smiled bitterly and said to me apologetically: "Mayor Feng, they have to see you immediately, otherwise they will not agree to anything. Now they are laid off, and the new company is Japanese."
Holding, they are not afraid of me as the Chinese legal representative at all. I am not willing to conflict with them, otherwise the future work will be more difficult."
His words made me immediately understand his situation, and I also agreed with his approach in my heart. Then I stood up and said, "Let's go out. They want to see me, the acting mayor, and I have no reason to refuse."
Then he and I were about to go out together, but my cell phone suddenly rang. When I saw it was Yu Yong, I answered it immediately. I said, "If it's not urgent, I'll call you later. Now."
I'm in a hurry."
But he immediately asked me: "Mayor Feng, are there many laid-off workers who have come to the city government?"
I immediately understood that he knew that this matter must be related to the call made by the Secretary-General of the General Office to Mayor Wu. Mayor Wu was having a meeting over there, and of course he had to stop the meeting immediately after receiving the call.
But at this moment, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart: He must have made this call to me for a purpose, and of course it would be beneficial to me. I immediately said: "Yes, I am going to deal with this matter."
What do you want to tell me?"
He immediately said to me: "Mayor Feng, Mayor Wu just said that there is an emergency at the city government and immediately ended our meeting. I immediately asked what happened, and then suddenly remembered something
Things come up."
I immediately criticized him and said, "When are you talking about the important thing? You are still talking so much."
He immediately said: "Mayor Feng, it's like this. A large part of the commercial houses we pre-sold this time were bought by people in the factory. I think this may be because they used the money bought out by their own years of service.
, so now I start to worry about my future life.”
I understood something immediately, but his news didn't seem to have much effect on me now, because the main purpose of these people coming to make trouble is for money. And I don't believe that all the people who come here are for this reason. After all, it's not
All laid-off workers have that kind of economic acumen. I said, "I understand."
Immediately, he and Li Wenwu walked out of my office.
He was looking at me, and I smiled at him, "Let's settle the matter here first and then talk about it. You will have a lot of troubles in the future. But you have to pay attention to the emotions of these people at any time in the future. If there are any problems,
Solve it in time. If we come to the city government frequently like this, can we do anything else?"
He hurriedly said: "Mayor Feng, I'm sorry."
I ignored him and walked directly outside the government building.
There are many people in the lobby below the city government building, all of whom are employees of the building. There are police on duty outside the building, and no outsiders are allowed in. These people in the lobby are here to watch the excitement.
When I arrived in the hall, they all greeted me warmly. My face was cold, and then I glanced at these people and said, "What's so good about this? You don't do anything in your own office."
, what’s the fuss coming here to see?!”
They immediately dispersed in embarrassment. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart.
Chinese people are famous for being spectators. There are descriptions in literary works, and they can be seen everywhere in real life. Even on the execution ground, people "spectate".
When I was a child, I remember that every day after liberation, on the day when prisoners were executed, I would always see the execution vehicles carrying the prisoners going around the city. The main streets were crowded with people watching on both sides. At that time, the execution vehicles were not cars, but modified three-wheelers.
The prisoners hung signs on their chests, put "marks" on their backs, and were accompanied by armed personnel in front and behind. Forget it, there was a group of people following the team, and this group of people would continue to follow them until they reached the execution ground where the police arrived.
Set up a defensive line and stand close together, waiting for the sound of the gunshot to arrive.
At that time, there was an "unspoken rule" on the execution ground: you must clap your hands immediately when a gunshot is fired. If you don't clap, it is said that the "soul" of the condemned criminal will crawl into you. So, you only hear the gunshot.
Thunderous applause followed, and the crowd broke through the defense line like crazy, screaming and sprinting forward. They rushed to a stop less than one or two meters away from the executed prisoner, and watched at close range. They passed by.
The three steps of watching on the street, following and chasing and sprinting 100 meters on the spot, the whole process of "watching the fun" in the execution ground comes to an end.
When I was a child, I heard an old man tell a story he heard. When the Japanese invaders occupied my hometown, they killed a group of people at one time, fired a round of machine gun fire and then drove away. The pseudo-policemen who were left to clean up the scene found that there were still people suffering in the pool of blood.
Groaning, if this situation was discovered by the Chinese who were watching at the time, the Japanese would definitely attract the Japs to re-shoot if they were called. The old man said that at this time, the "conscience police" alertly picked up some blood with a bamboo pole and waved it around, fearing that the onlookers would be stained with blood.
The body had to disperse, thus saving the man's life. The policeman finally had a conscience, but the onlookers were numb. (To be continued)
