This fire caused big news that shocked the entire southeastern province, and also caused Li Jin to lose nearly 47 million yuan.
"Mr. Li, Director Su, in this fire, the equipment and materials we burned and the facilities that had to be rebuilt are about 40 million yuan in total, and the remaining 7 million yuan is some invisible losses, such as the labor required to rebuild and re-acquire equipment.
Lost work pay.”
"In addition, although no one died in this fire, 16 people were seriously injured, five of whom were disabled for life, and three were severely burned and disabled, and could only spend their entire lives in hospital beds."
"After relevant compensation and deduction of insurance, we still need to bear about 6 million yuan. This 6 million yuan does not include other people with minor injuries. The total cost is currently estimated to be 11 million yuan."
Late at night, in the office of Jinqing Real Estate, Li Jin and Su Dongsheng listened to Tang Shunli's report with serious faces.
Li Jin originally planned not to alarm Su Dongsheng, but after such a big thing happened, he had to be informed of the situation in time, otherwise greater losses would be caused if other mistakes occurred.
"That means the entire economic loss is around 60 million." Li Jin said calmly.
Tang Shunli said awkwardly: "These are all direct losses. Indirect losses still need to be calculated. We will not be able to continue construction for at least a week. The hidden expenses such as lost time, site costs, etc. involved are at least 3,000."
Ten thousand up and down."
Snap.
Su Dongsheng lit a cigarette and slammed the lighter on his desk.
Tang Shunli shivered and did not dare to raise his head to look at Su Dongsheng's gloomy face.
Li Jin turned to Tang Shunli and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. There is still a lot of follow-up work to be done tomorrow. You should go back first."
Tang Shunli, as if he had been granted amnesty, hurriedly said goodbye and left the office.
As soon as Tang Shunli left, Li Jin and Su Dongsheng were left in the office.
"Ajin, there is something wrong with this fire." Su Dongsheng exhaled a puff of smoke and said.
Li Jin leaned on the sofa, raised his hand to rub his temples, and murmured: "There is indeed a problem, because it is such a coincidence. It is so coincidental that it cannot be explained by the word accident."
"A loss of 100 million, haha, good trick, a fire caused us a loss of 100 million."
Su Dongsheng's eyes were full of anger, and he said: "Since I debuted, I have never suffered such a big loss. Those who are playing dirty tricks are really powerful... Ah Jin, do you have any clues?"
Li Jin shook his head and said: "There is no evidence yet. The other party did it very cleanly, and a big fire burned almost all the evidence that should be there and shouldn't be."
"In this way, you try your best to find the person behind the scenes. As for the handling of the scene and the aftermath, I will handle it." Su Dongsheng said.
Li Jin nodded and said: "This is best."
Because it was already dark, Li Jin and Su Dongsheng did not delay for too long, and soon went back to rest.
The next day, as soon as Li Jing got up, he saw Liu Jun coming to look for him.
"Brother Jin, someone is looking for you." Liu Jun said.
Li Jin frowned and said: "I will be very busy during this period, so I will refuse appointments with ordinary people."
"It's Li Dongliang."
"Li Dongliang?"
Li Jin suddenly raised his head and said calmly, "Ask him to come to the back garden."
In the back garden, under the leadership of Liu Jun, a haggard-looking Li Dongliang came to Li Jin.
"Cousin."
Li Dongliang said in a hoarse voice.
Li Jin pointed to the chair opposite and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days. How come I've spent so much money on you this year?"
Li Dongliang stood and did not sit down, but said to Li Jin: "Cousin, is there a fire at the Nanlinjiang construction site?"
It is impossible to hide such a big thing.
Although the annual holiday has not completely passed, the news media will not stop reporting on this matter.
Therefore, the huge fire that broke out at the Nanlinjiang construction site has now become an uproar throughout the Southeast Province.
It became the first major event in Southeast Province in 2001.
"Indeed, accidents are always inevitable." Li Jin said lightly.
Li Dongliang looked confused and whispered: "Cousin, did you lose a lot in this fire?"
"It's not a lot, 100 million." Li Jin's tone was as calm as if he was talking about 100 yuan.
"Why, you seem to be very concerned about this matter?"
Hearing Li Jin's words, Li Dongliang trembled, raised his head and looked at Li Jin deeply. Suddenly, he bent his knees, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said to Li Jin with a cry: "Cousin, please
Forgive me!"
Narrowing his eyes, he looked at Li Dongliang who was kneeling in front of him. Li Jin didn't move or help him. He just said lightly: "Is there anything you've done to me that I need to forgive you for?"
Li Dongliang seemed to have made great determination, gritting his teeth and said: "I set that fire!"
Li Jin didn't speak, but looked at Li Dongliang steadily.
Under Li Jin's gaze, Li Dongliang felt as if he had been thrown into a pit of mercury. The extremely dense mercury around him squeezed out the last trace of air, making it impossible for him to even breathe.
I don’t know how much time passed, but when Li Dongliang’s forehead was covered with sweat and he could hardly breathe, Li Jin finally spoke and broke the silence.
"Dongliang, do you know what your biggest shortcoming is?"
Li Dongliang raised his head when he heard this and looked at Li Jin doubtfully.
Li Jin smiled and continued: "You can't lie."
"Therefore, I was sure from the beginning that you were not a qualified businessman. I was even prepared that you would suffer big losses, and I also planned to pay for the losses you suffered."
"But I didn't expect that after we cooperated, the person you lied to for the first time would be me."
"It's a pity that I don't intend to pay for this lie."
Li Dongliang trembled all over, looked at Li Jin in disbelief, and said: "Cousin, you..."
Li Jin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said calmly: "The person who set the fire was Li Tianci, right?"
Li Dongliang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face turned pale.
"And you came out to take the blame for him to prevent me from pursuing him? In fact, you can hide it and pretend that you don't know anything. After all, he did it very cleanly. I want to find his head.
It’s really not an easy thing.”
Li Jin said this and smiled, "Of course, this was before you came as the scapegoat. Now, I already know that he did it."
Li Dongliang shook his head subconsciously and said: "No, I did all this and it has nothing to do with him..."
"Li Dongliang!"
Li Jin shouted loudly and knocked the teacup heavily on the stone table. The tea spilled out of the teacup and soaked it all over.
"In my opinion, those spoiled people are not hopeless. As long as they have experienced setbacks, they can always understand that not everyone in the world is their father and have the obligation to help them."
"But the really heinous crimes are those who knew he was causing great trouble and yet blindly shielded him in the name of protecting him. These people really deserve to die!"
