The collapse of steel rolling mills is a historical trend, because industrial upgrading and elimination of backward production capacity must be carried out.

In Yi Feng's previous impression, the bankruptcy of the steel rolling mill was inexplicably closed down like many old factories such as paper mills, leather factories, steel mills, etc. across the country, and there was no more news, just like the same village heard the news that the convenience store in the next village was closed.

Just know the result, that's all.

But when he grew up, when he thought about everything that happened to his father carefully, he found that behind the bankruptcy of the factory was the family livelihood that many employees could not maintain, which was the pain and sadness of the family.

In order not to repeat the same mistakes, he worked hard to make money and worked hard to improve his family conditions so that his parents would not feel pain in the laid-off.

However, all this seemed to happen even more intensely than expected. Even the deputy factory director Gu Xingzhong was blocked by the employees and could not get out of the factory.

There must be a big problem!

Yi Feng pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Xixi, don't be anxious first. I'll wait to find you, and then we will take a plane back to Guangshi first."

Under Yi Feng's comfort, Gu Muxi finally calmed down a lot and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the door!"

After hanging up the phone, Yi Feng went to say goodbye to Ma Yun and others first.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I have some urgent matters at home. I can't eat the afternoon dinner. I will have to rush back to Guangshi later." Yi Feng said solemnly to Ma Yun.

When Ma Yun heard his tone was wrong, he knew that something was really wrong, but he didn't try to keep it. He said with concern. "Okay, Mr. Yi will deal with it first. If you need help, you can call me."

Yi Feng smiled and nodded, "You are welcome, see you next day."

"There must be a chance." Ma Yun said with a smile.

...

In the afternoon, Yi Feng and Gu Muxi rushed back to the hotel suite and packed their luggage.

"Xi Xi, what's going on? Why did Uncle Gu suddenly get stuck in the factory and can't get out? Is there any danger?" Yi Feng asked.

Gu Muxi quickly packed his luggage and said worriedly: "I don't know the specific situation. I heard from my mother that it was because of the negotiation between the factory and Shanghai Steel. Now the employees are in a hurry and ask the head of the negotiation team, the factory director Liu Jianqi, to come out to explain. Although my father is not the one who made the decision, he is also in the negotiation team and is also blocked in the factory!"

Yi Feng thought for a moment and analyzed: "It must be because of the negotiation conditions that offend employees, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a fuss."

"Forget it, it's useless for us to just guess here now. Let's go back and see it!"

"I hope people are fine!"

...

On the other hand, in front of the office building of the Guangshi Steel Rolling Factory, nearly a thousand employees surrounded the office building and pulled more than a dozen banners, and the crowd was in full swing.

"Get out of Liu Chang!"

"Yes! Get out! Give us an explanation!"

"Damn it, shameless Lao Liu, betray our interests for his own hat?!"

"Get out!"

"Get out quickly!"

The door of the office building was closed, and the employees did not break in, but they were blocked at the door and did not escape. They asked the factory director Liu Jianqi to come out and give an explanation.

But Liu Jianqi never showed his face since the noon, and his avoidance attitude made the employees even more angry, and he vowed that Liu Jianqi would let anyone leave if he didn't come out to talk.

This is why the situation is now.

On the third floor of the office building, a group of senior executives in the factory were in a mess. Some called the police and some called home to ask for the funeral, but they were afraid that if they were rushing in by an angry crowd and throwing them down from the building.

Gu Xingzhong's face turned pale and he looked at Liu Jianqi very annoyed.

"Liu Chang, you said something, what should you do if you talk about this?"

Liu Jianqi listened to the sound of tsunami downstairs, his hands were trembling, "What can I do? I advise them to calm down and not listen at all. You won't really want me to go down and talk to them, right?"

"Who knows what those people will do?"

"If something happens, will you be responsible?"

Gu Xingzhong was annoyed when he saw his greed for life and fear of death, but after all, he was still the immediate boss, so he didn't dare to force Liu Jianqi to go out and calm the anger of thousands of employees.

He slapped the table angrily and shouted: "Liuchang, I agree to Shanghai Steel to acquire the factory, but I must stick to my conditions. Shanghai Steel has already reduced the purchase price so low, from 300 million at the beginning to 160 million at the moment, which has been nearly half of it. We have made a very big concession!"

"They are not willing to bear the severance of employees. How can there be any good things in the world?"

"This money is enough to fill the factory's debt, but what about the workers? What should they do? What should the families behind them do?"

"What should you do after you let them lay off?!"

"If Shanghai Steel doesn't pay this money, the purchase price will be at least 200 million yuan, and we will pay this money!"

Gu Xingzhong has feelings for the factory. He also knows that bankruptcy and reorganization are the best outcome for the factory. If it is replaced by other factories, there will be no one who will go bankrupt and close the company. It will either turn into a messy bad debt or let the local area wipe its butt.

But no matter which method is followed, the person who serves as the factory director will basically have no room for promotion.

He and Liu Jianqi, a number of factory executives, supported the factory's acquisition by Shanghai Steel, which was also the only way out for the steel rolling mill.

But Shanghai Steel obviously knows this, constantly negotiating and price reduction, requiring steel rolling mills to make more concessions, and they demand less responsibility.

The negotiations have come to an end, and the acquisition amount and plan have been roughly finalized, but there are differences on who should pay for the employee severance expenses.

Shanghai Steel promised to acquire the rolling mill for 160 million yuan, but did not promise to be responsible for the employees' severance costs. Their reason was that this matter was an internal affairs of the rolling mill and it must be handled before it could enter the acquisition process.

But the rolling mill now has no money to pay such a large sum, and it is less than 20 to 30 million severance payments?

Gu Xingzhong thought they would disband the factory and dismiss the employees after acquiring the factory. The money should be paid by Shanghai Steel, because the purchase price is already very low, and that money can only fill the factory's debts, and there is no remaining money to pay severance fees.

But the negotiators of Shanghai Steel simply disagreed, and the negotiations that were about to end were immediately deadlocked.

Later, in order to continue the negotiations, Liu Jianqi proposed a new plan during the internal discussion, continued to make concessions and suppressed the severance payment to less than three million. He wanted to report the money to the city and ask the city to help solve it.

In this way, the negotiations can proceed smoothly and the acquisition process will be immediately entered, but only the interests of employees are damaged and they receive very little severance payment.

Liu Jianqi brought this plan to internal discussion. Gu Xingzhong was the first to disagree and stood up to clearly object. However, for some reason, the internal discussions of the negotiation team spread out and suddenly reached the ears of the employees, which made thousands of employees angry.

That's why there is such a tense situation in front of you, nearly a thousand employees surrounded the office building and the crowd was in a turbulent situation.

Liu Jianqi retorted with a pale face: "Old Gu, wake up, do you think the group of foxes in Shanghai Gang will pay the money?"
