After thinking for a while, he said: "Mayor Feng, have you ever thought about it? Secretary Rong is a female cadre, and her chances of promotion are greater than those of male cadres. Maybe she will be promoted before she has served for only one term.
Otherwise, why is she only studying cadre issues now and putting aside cultural issues?"
I immediately laughed because I found that his thoughts were also messed up. I said: "Okay. Let's not analyze it. Let's just do our own thing well. From now on, we must support her work more. Still.
That sentence: Supporting her is achieving ourselves."
In fact, we were just chatting together in private. Unless Secretary Rong told us such a problem in person, we would definitely not know her true intentions. However, after this discussion between the two of us, I feel that we are generally on the same page.
There is no problem with the direction. After all, Mayor Wu and I are both people who have experienced a lot of things. Especially him, he is a veteran in the officialdom. His analysis should have certain truth and foresight.
On this day, after I came out of the meeting, I asked the secretary-general of the municipal government office to call the family members of the deceased and the developer to my office. I also called the chairman of the municipal labor union. I wanted to solve the problem at once.
Yes, because I think for this kind of thing, in the final analysis, it is still an issue of compensation.
Human life is the most precious, and each of us has only one life. For me, respect for life is indeed the first priority in my heart. But in our country, life is often
When it is measured by money. Especially when a person's life disappears, it is easier to use money to measure it, because we are all realistic and know in our hearts that once life is lost, it will never come back, so we can only use it to measure it.
Money to measure.
In fact, it is not difficult to handle such a matter. As for the reason why Mayor Wu did not handle it, I also asked him. He told me that the family of the deceased asked for too high a price, but the developer was unwilling to make concessions. As a businessman,
They value money more and even have a disdain for the weak.
Mayor Wu is only the executive deputy mayor, and he is relatively calm in doing things. There are certain words and things that he cannot insist on. I feel that I am different from him, because in my heart, I sympathize with the weak. Money
It is more important to the weak, although sometimes they will be open-mouthed, but this further illustrates the importance of money to them. As for developers, they will not be hurt by losing so much money. So, now
The question is: how can developers be persuaded to spend more money.
Of course, this is not an easy thing. The money is in their hands and they have paid all the taxes they should pay. We cannot force them.
As soon as the family members of the deceased came in, they cried loudly, "Mayor Feng, you have to make the decision for us! They say you are the Great Master Qingtian, how can we live if you don't make the decision for us..."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I still said to them softly: "Please be quiet. I called everyone here today just to handle this matter. In the final analysis, the developer and the deceased are in an employment relationship. Now your
Relatives have unfortunately passed away from this world. This is something that neither you nor the developers want to see. What you have lost is your loved ones, and what the developers have lost are good workers. This is a huge loss.
However, the matter has come out. Now we should all calm down and temporarily restrain our inner sorrow. Let us negotiate together and handle the matter well under the premise that both parties can accept it. Don't you think so?"
The family members of the deceased immediately stopped crying, and I continued: "You may all know that I used to be a doctor. Many of you may think that doctors are already numb to life. In fact, this view is wrong.
of.
Precisely because I used to be a doctor and have seen so many illnesses, life and death, I respect life more in my heart. I think that in this world, nothing is more important than our lives, because life is important to each of us.
Personally speaking, it is only once, the only time. For the deceased, they will know nothing after they die, but they have left countless pain to us living people, especially the relatives of the deceased.
Therefore, I hope that you, the developer, will also understand the feelings of the relatives of the deceased and try your best to meet the requirements of the relatives of the deceased."
The developer said: "Mayor Feng, we agree with what you said, but we also have difficulties. First, their demands are too high. Second, if we pay compensation according to their demands,
What should we do if something like this happens again in the future? Then wouldn’t we have no choice but to go bankrupt? Third, we are making compensation entirely in accordance with the Labor Law, so our compensation also has a legal basis.”
The developer's words were plausible and seemed to make sense. I smiled faintly and then asked: "Now, how much compensation does the family of the deceased want?"
The family members of the deceased were about to speak, but I immediately stopped them with gestures. I was looking at the developer, hoping he would answer my question.
Of course the developers understand what I mean, otherwise their business would not be so big. It can be said that most Chinese businessmen can be regarded as half-officials. They are very familiar with the officialdom. In addition to observing words and expressions,
In addition, he also understands the rules of officialdom relatively well.
Someone once told a joke that many businessmen in our country immigrated to the United States after making money, but they soon returned to the country to do business. Why? Because they discovered after they went abroad that they
After arriving abroad, you can’t do business at all, and you won’t be able to do business at all!
Why?
Because they found that the methods and methods they used to do business in China did not work at all when they went abroad, and instead became illegal. For example, paying bribes, treating guests to dinner, etc., these methods had no effect on their business.
No, so I had no choice but to return to my country and do my old job.
When the developers saw me looking at them, one of them said: "According to the Labor Law, we can only pay up to 150,000 yuan to the families of each deceased person. Last time Mayor Wu did our job, we promised to pay each family member
Two hundred thousand yuan to the family of the deceased is already our maximum compensation.
Mayor Feng, you also know our situation very well. We are also in a difficult situation. Nowadays, we purchase land, buildings, as well as preliminary design, planning, advertising, etc., and the investment is quite large. In addition, our company
I have never evaded taxes. Mayor Feng knows all this. Mayor Feng, you are right just now. I think we should all understand each other and respect life. Because of this, we are willing to pay more appropriately to the relatives of the deceased.
Partial compensation.
However, their demands are too high, even asking for 500,000 yuan. We absolutely cannot agree to such conditions."
At this time, the family members of the deceased began to cry again. One of them said angrily: "A life is lost like that. A life of 500,000 yuan is too expensive!"
The developer was also very angry, "I didn't kill them, it was an accident. Things have already happened, and this is not what we want to see! Could it be that we pushed him down the stairs?"
I patted the table lightly, and my tone became a little harsh, "Don't say any more! What are you talking about like this? Now I am here to help you solve this matter, what's the use of you arguing like this?"
They stopped talking, and I softened my tone again, "Listen to me now. Please express your condolences to the family of the deceased and don't get excited."
Immediately, I thought about it and said to the secretary-general and the union chairman: "You should take the family members of the deceased to the conference room to have a rest, and I will have a good talk with the developer."
The secretary-general and the union chairman took them out. I stood up from my seat, walked two steps, turned around and said to the developer: "I agree with what you just said. However, you should also admit that you are responsible for this matter."
Is there anything that was done well?
First, why don’t you buy insurance for your workers? Second, are your safety measures in place? No, right? If your safety measures were in place, this kind of thing would not happen. Third, just now
You say, you can't open such a hole. If you open such a hole, it will be difficult for you to deal with it in the future. Haha! Why do I think you mean that this kind of thing will happen again in the future? That's why you don't dare to open such a hole!
Is that so?"
The developer hurriedly said: "Mayor Feng, we are not saying that we have no responsibility at all. It is precisely because we have responsibility that we will pay compensation."
I shook my head and said: "Because your safety measures were not in place, two fresh lives died like this. And this situation may happen again in the future. Is life so light in your eyes?"
?"
The developer hurriedly said: "Mayor Feng, you can't say that. Now that the matter has come out, we will definitely improve our safety measures in the future, but you also know that safety accidents like this are inevitable, and any developer will
We cannot guarantee that our projects will not have such a thing. We can only try our best to improve it in the future. Mayor Feng, the insurance thing you mentioned is indeed our mistake. We will definitely improve this area in the future. In this case
Our pressure will be reduced a lot.”
I laughed "haha" and said: "That's your business, I just remind you. But I don't agree with you saying that you can't make such an opening, because the occurrence of this situation itself is a small probability event. Since the matter has already
Once it comes out, you should face it. They are the weak and you are the strong, so you should compensate them more appropriately. To be honest, this is more meaningful and practical than any charity you do. Don’t you think so?
"
The developer suddenly became anxious, "Mayor Feng, it is unheard of for one person to pay half a million yuan. Mayor Feng, you are the mayor here, and we all respect you. You are different from officials in other places.
You are all thinking about the common people and us investors, and you are not greedy and have never made any demands on us. But we really can't obey your orders in this matter. It's not just that we ourselves can't make this opening, if
If we really do that, how will other companies in our industry deal with such things in the future? We will be the target of public criticism."
I laughed, "What do you mean? I am the only one in Shangjiang City who is not corrupt, but all the other officials are corrupt? Or were the officials in those places corrupt when you were doing development in other places? Or, you
Would you rather spend millions of dollars to bribe officials, but are unwilling to use it to compensate the families of dead workers?”
The developer hurriedly said: "No, no! Mayor Feng, we didn't mean that..."
I waved my hands to them and said: "I didn't say that's what you meant. People are dead, but you still do this and that. When you gamble, how come you don't feel bad when you lose tens or millions in one night? Hehe, some people
I didn’t want to say much at first, you just have to figure it out.”
They were stunned for a moment, and after a while they whispered: "Mayor Feng, we will do it according to your opinion."
I nodded and said to them pleasantly: "That's right. No matter you are a businessman or an ordinary person, you must know how to be grateful. Don't you think so?"
They kept saying "yes".
I said: "The last sentence just now means I didn't say anything. I know that you are all good, law-abiding citizens."
They continued to say "yes". I laughed "haha" and sent them out of my office. (To be continued)
