A sharp-eyed official exclaimed, "It's Mayor Duan! It's Mayor Duan!...", "It's really Duan Zetao! Mayor Duan is here!", Although I don't know what Duan Zetao is here? Although most of the officials present usually don't have much confrontation with Duan Zetao, Duan Zetao's appearance at this time undoubtedly made them at a loss and they saw a glimmer of hope, with a hint of joy and respect in their voices, as if they had found their backbone. At this moment, Duan Zetao was their savior!
Even Jiang Kai, who has always disliked Duan Zetao, felt that Duan Zetao looked much more pleasing at this time, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hoping that this young man who can always create miracles can create miracles again and turn the tide down!
Liu Junren looked at Duan Zetao with admiration. Duan Zetao's aura of thousands of people was so admirable that he was overwhelmed by his spirit. At the same time, he was worried about Duan Zetao. After all, the situation on the scene is so complicated. If Duan Zetao is not on the scene, he will not be held accountable in the future. But now that Duan Zetao has stepped into this muddy water, if he cannot control the situation, he will become the biggest scapegoat for this time and may be punished.
Nie Yiqian's eyes were shining brightly. Although she was a scheming and even vicious woman, as long as she was a woman, she had dreams of marrying a prince charming. Which woman didn't like heroes? At this moment, Duan Zetao was the prince charming in her heart. She secretly decided that she must conquer Duan Zetao and let him fall under her pomegranate skirt.
Zhu Changsheng's face was uncertain. He felt that the conspiracy he had painstakingly arranged would make Duan Zetao's reputation, allowing Duan Zetao to gain a foothold in Hongxing City, and the balance of their game would also tilt towards Duan Zetao.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Duan Zetao. Duan Zetao walked to the gate calmly and shouted to the fully guarded armed police inside: "I am Duan Zetao, Mayor of Hongxing, please open the gate..."
The armed police inside looked at each other, wondering if they should obey Duan Zetao's orders. After all, if these tens of thousands of workers rush in, the result would be unimaginable. Seeing that they did not move, Duan Zetao continued to emphasize and said seriously: "These are the people outside, not our enemies. The door of the government is always open to the people! Please open the door immediately, and I will be responsible for all the consequences!"
The armed police looked at each other, and finally opened the electric iron gate according to Duan Zetao's order. First, they were deeply impressed by Duan Zetao's courage, and second, they also knew that if the workers really wanted to rush in, the iron gate would not be able to stop it.
The officials looking out by the floor-to-ceiling glass windows screamed when they saw the electric door open, "What do he want to do?! Stop him quickly! He must be crazy!" Zhu Changsheng said in shock and angrily.
Jiang Kai glanced at Zhu Changsheng unhappily, waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it, Comrade Zetao must have a reason for doing this..." Jiang Kai knew that things can only be treated alive at this point. Although he had a lot of opinions about Duan Zetao, he did not deny that this young man was indeed very capable and could always create miracles. He could only pin his hopes on Duan Zetao.
Because Duan Zetao's appearance was so cool, the workers' attention was attracted by him. Duan Zetao took the initiative to ask the armed police to open the door and puzzled them. He didn't know what Duan Zetao was selling in the gourd. Moreover, the series of policies introduced by Zetao for laid-off workers during this period also won the favor of the workers, so the workers surprisingly did not squeeze in, but just looked at him quietly.
Duan Zetao nodded to the armed police guarding the gate and said, "Go and bring me a chair and an electric speaker..." After the armed police brought the chair and an electric speaker, Duan Zetao jumped onto the chair, picked up the electric speaker and shouted loudly: "Comrades, I am Duan Zetao, mayor of Hongxing City. Can you be quiet for a while? Listen to my words..."
Xie Guinong and others who had been around Duan Zetao to protect him immediately waved hands to the crowd to calm down. Many of the workers standing in front had negotiated with Duan Zetao at the Red Star Factory. Duan Zetao's previous promise to solve the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor in the extremely poor households and retired employees, so the workers' representatives also sent messages to the back to calm down. After a while, miraculously, the entire scene became silent. The workers quietly looked up at Duan Zetao. There was only Duan Zetao's powerful voice at the scene: "For decades, all the workers and cadres of our Red Star Factory have done their best to build the Red Star Factory and even the entire Red Star City, and have made indelible contributions. This account must be recorded in the development history of the Republic! The party will not forget, the government will not forget, and history will not forget!..."
"The Red Star Factory is like a big ship. Everyone is a crew member of this ship. Due to the unprecedented wind and some mechanical failures, there was a mistake in management and command during a certain period. Now this 'super ship' with 100,000 crew members can no longer carry so many crew members..."
"There are only two ways to go before everyone. One is that no one can get off the boat and sank with the boat tragically. The other way out is that the extra crew members quickly get off the boat, first keep the big boat from sinking, and wait until the boat is repaired and installed on a new machine, so that they can sail across the five continents and four oceans. Then, according to needs and possibilities, they will be invited to board the boat again. Even if some people cannot get on board in the end, the Party and the government will never abandon it. They must also have a proper guarantee for their basic life and find a new way out for them..."
"The right to choose is in everyone's hands. If you choose the former, the government will immediately terminate the negotiations and maintain the status quo. If you choose the latter, please understand and cooperate with our work. Go back first and think about what you can do for the Red Star Factory. I promise you that we will never engage in secret operations. The final result of the negotiation will be announced to everyone. The final decision-making power is in everyone's hands. If you are not satisfied with the negotiation results, the negotiation results will be invalid!... Now is the most difficult period for the Red Star Factory. We are all sitting on the same boat, and we should work together to overcome this difficulty together!..."
Everyone was moved by Duan Zetao's affectionate and reasonable speech. The scene was silent at first, and then there was thunderous applause. The workers were also reasonable. Duan Zetao's open and honest speech won their respect and support. Xie Guinong and others also followed in the work, and the workers slowly dispersed.
Xiang Shaobo kept standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked at everything outside the window calmly. Seeing the workers slowly leaving under Duan Zetao's persuasion, his eyes flashed, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself: "It seems that this is a very powerful and respectable opponent..."
Then he turned to Liang Yongsheng beside him and whispered: "Yongsheng, it seems that our intelligence collection work needs to be strengthened. We have ignored such an extraordinary person. You can investigate the information of Mayor Duan. The more detailed the better. He is likely to be the main opponent we will face in the next negotiation..."
Seeing that the workers had dispersed, Jiang Kai and others breathed a sigh of relief and walked out quickly to meet Duan Zetao, "Comrade Zetao, thank you for your hard work today, otherwise it would be unimaginable..." Jiang Kai held Duan Zetao's hand tightly and shook it. These words were indeed from the heart.
Duan Zetao quickly said humbly: "Governor Jiang, you have been too rewarded. I just did what I should do. If you weren't in charge, I wouldn't feel assured..." Although he knew that Duan Zetao was polite, Jiang Kai felt very comfortable when he heard it. It seemed that Duan Zetao was not so ignorant of the world, and his impression of Duan Zetao had changed greatly.
** was considered to be resolved, but the negotiations with Sanshan Heavy Industry did not make any progress. This time, Xiang Shaobo realized the embarrassment faced by the Hongxing Municipal Government, and added weight to their negotiations. Naturally, he refused to give in. Jiang Kai did not dare to take the risk of being scolded by the workers as a corrupt official who sold state-owned assets. He agreed to the conditions proposed by Xiang Shaobo. The negotiations fell into a deadlock again. After several days of negotiations, there was no progress. Later, Xiang Shaobo simply refused to attend and entrusted Liang Yongsheng to be responsible for the negotiations. He was elusive and investigated the inside information about the Hongxing Factory.
Zhu Changsheng's previous conspiracy was destroyed by Duan Zetao. Seeing this, he was secretly happy. He gave Jiang a bad idea, "Governor Jiang, that Xiang Shaobo is too ignorant. Who do he think he is?! You negotiated with him as the governor, but he didn't attend in person. It was obvious that he didn't take you seriously. I think we are going to change our strategy..."
"Oh! Comrade Changsheng has any good solutions, let's talk about it..." Jiang Kai raised his eyebrows, and at this time he was at a loss. He heard Zhu Changsheng say that he had a solution, and he quickly asked.
Zhu Changsheng came to Jiang Kai and whispered: "As the saying goes, you can compare all the goods without losing money. The reason why Xiang Shaobo is so arrogant is simply seeing that we are only talking to him. I think we should invite more powerful companies to negotiate with us. Even if we are just doing things, it can create pressure on Xiang Shaobo, which means that we don't have to hang ourselves on his tree. Maybe he will reduce his value by himself, and he may not beg us in turn..."
Jiang Kai thought about it and felt that Zhu Changsheng’s words were reasonable, so he pointed out: “Secretary Zhu, you have a good idea, so I will leave this to you for handling the matters that contact other companies…”
Zhu Changsheng quickly contacted several companies and entered Hongxing City. These companies actually had no strength or intention to cooperate with Hongxing Heavy Industry. Zhu Changsheng did this just to squeeze into Shaobo, and also lay the foundation for his next step of proposing a cooperation plan with Huanyu Group.
Of course, Zhu Changsheng's tricks could not be hidden from the shrewd Xiang Shaobo. He decided to retreat to advance, pretended to be very angry, pointed at Jiang Kai and others who were distrustful, and immediately announced that he would terminate the negotiations and prepare to go home...
