After hanging up the phone. Lin Chenwan couldn't help but glance up.

Wide and atmospheric factory door. It's very modern. On the gatehouse, "Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant" has several huge gold paint characters. It is said that Chairman Guo, the country's top leader, personally wrote the inscription when he inspected the steel plant. It's not about how swaggering and majestic. But it also has a bit of extraordinary charm.

Closed doors, deserted factories, and towering chimneys that don't smoke. But it suddenly gives people a sense of decay and depression. It's hard to imagine the grand scene that was in full swing and full of traffic.

In the guard's room next to the gate. There is only one uncle with red sleeves. He glanced at Lin Chenwan through the glittering glass window. But he didn't pay attention. Maybe for him. As long as you don't enter the factory. It has nothing to do with him.

Although since he took office. It was the first time I came to Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. But all kinds of relevant data and information about the steel plant came to mind.

Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. I moved from the city four years ago. The reason for the relocation at that time. On the one hand, there is excessive pollution in urban areas. The surrounding masses have great opinions. Then there is the high-tech zone that has just been established. There are no units that can be used to support the scene. The government issued an order. It was relocated with the Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. There are also seven or eight municipal enterprises such as the Second Chemical Plant, Zinc Smelter, and Xiaguang Food Factory. In exchange. Not only are the relocation costs fully covered by the government. The land used for enterprises is also allocated by the government free of charge.

Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant covers an area of about 800 acres. It is the largest steel plant in western China. If only talk about capacity. It is enough to rank among the top ten domestic iron and steel enterprises. can be due to backward equipment. Low technology. Production costs remain high. The market share is decreasing year by year. Until now. Even many of the local steel needs in Wuxi. None of the products produced by the Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant are used. The dire situation is evident.

And these two years. With the recession of the international and domestic economic situation. Steel prices continue to be sluggish. The situation at the Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant is even worse. And the huge number of workers and retired workers. It is also an extremely heavy burden on steel mills. In order to solve the problem of Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. The Wuxi Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have thought of a lot of ways over the years. But it has never been able to solve the root cause of the problem. From the beginning of Lin Chendu's tenure. Yang Weiguo talked to him about this issue more than once.

Although Lin Chendui was entangled in various affairs. I have never been to the steel mill in person. I've always been mindful of this. Otherwise. It will not actively contact Guoxing Group. Think of all sorts of ways. It is hoped that the transformation of the steel plant can be completed as soon as possible.

But. There always seems to be some people who are restless. Find a way to get something out.

After a circle aimlessly. Lin Chenwan was about to go to the family area to have a look. Then. But a man with a roe deer head came up. Small eyes flashed with cunning. Grinning with a mouthful of big yellow teeth. Hippie smiley. He pretended to mysteriously lower his voice and asked, "Are you a media reporter?" ”

"What." Lin Chendui was stunned.

Big Yellow Fang smiled and said, "Don't lie to me. You've been around here for a long time. I've been keeping an eye on you. What do you want to know. Maybe I can help you. ”

Lin Chendu's brain turned. "What can you do for me?" ”

"That's a lot." Maybe it's because they feel like they're in business. Big Yellow Tooth raised his eyebrows. He said excitedly, "If you don't believe it, I'll inquire." I'm Ah Kun in the steel mill. That's notoriously well-informed. All kinds of official faces. Grapevine. Reliable. Unreliable news. There's nothing I don't know. Guaranteed to give you first-hand insider information. Out of the limelight. ”

"So what's in it for you." Lin Chendui asked with interest.

Big Yellow Fang scratched his head. Hehe smiled and said, "What's good or not." It hurts so much to say. If you think what I'm saying is valuable. Just throw me a little money. I'm not greedy. Over time, you'll get to know who I am. ”

"That's fine. Let's find a place to sit and talk. Lin Chenwan thought for a moment. Just said. As the saying goes, cats have cat paths. Rats have rat paths. Even if Big Yellow Fang is a liar. Maybe you can hear something different from him.

"Huh. There is a beef noodle restaurant nearby. It tastes pretty good. Let's sit down. Big Yellow Tooth said urgently. Look at his stance. It's like a nursery for beef noodles.

Lin Chenwan nodded noncommittally. Big Yellow Fang excitedly led the way in front. Along the way, he also talked to Lin Chendui from time to time. Anyway, the tone is quite big. It's like a steel mill thing. There was nothing he didn't know.

Iron and steel plant family area. It is not far from the factory. It's just over a 10-minute walk. It can be compared with the desertion of the factory. It's a lot more lively here. Bustling. There are also a lot of stalls on the roadside. Sell everything. There is also a seller of pirated song discs. I got a stereo. Put the song loud. You can hear it from afar.

Lin Chenwan looked at it casually. Everything is dominated by that kind of cheap goods. Even a pair of slippers. The list price is only two dollars. Of course, the quality and workmanship are also unsatisfactory. Maybe it's because of the steel mill workers who live here. Most of them have limited spending power. Expensive things are naturally unwanted. To do business, we must also find the right positioning and market.

Big Yellow Fang seems to be quite famous here. Along the way, people greeted him from time to time. Make a few innocuous jokes. And the beef noodle restaurant he was talking about. It's in the middle of nowhere. The paving is not large. The décor is also very basic. But the pick-up is very clean. Maybe it's too much of a meal. It's deserted inside. No one ate.

A plainly dressed girl was sitting bored at the door. Holding his cheeks in a daze. Tall and slender. Eyebrows are clear. It's also more attractive. It's just that the skin is a little rough. Presumably because of the fact that there are more ways to live. As soon as she saw Big Yellow Fang. Immediately he stood up. Dissatisfied, he said, "Brother." Where did you go? Didn't come to help. I'm alone. I'm too busy. Immediately, I saw Lin Chendui behind Big Yellow Tooth. I couldn't help but be stunned. The sound also stopped abruptly.

"Busy, busy. There was no business all day long. Just have you watching. Big Yellow Tooth pouted. Said impatiently: "You don't see me as a guest here." Why don't you make a cup of tea? After that, he nodded and said to Lin Chendui, "Come." Come. You may be seated. I don't have any good tea here. You will be more than you will be. This woman. Long hair and short knowledge. Don't be like her. ”

The girl seemed a little curious. glanced at Lin Chendui a few times. I really don't understand. What kind of person is he? How did you get involved with my brother who doesn't do his job all day? Until Big Yellow Fang scolded her again: "What are you doing in a daze." Hurry up. She reluctantly stepped aside to make tea.

"Say it. You know something. Lin Chenwan asked lightly. There was no one else in the noodle shop. It's also good for conversation.

"Hey, hey. It depends on what you want to know. Bhubarb grinned. He rubbed his hands together. said: "You must always have a direction. I just know what to tell you. ”

Lin Chenwan took out his wallet from his pocket. Ten hundred-dollar bills were found from inside and slapped on the table. Said to Big Yellow Fang, "So be it. I ask you to answer. You know what you know. If you don't know, tell me you don't know. As long as the answer satisfies me. The money on the table is yours. ”

Big Yellow Fang's eyes widened. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. I used to work in the factory. Tired and tired. It's only five or six hundred dollars a month. And you may not be able to get it all. But now. Just answer the question. can make such a large amount of money. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice. I really didn't look away just now. If not a news media reporter. Who will be fed and hold on. Spend money to ask about something about the factory.

And these things. He knows. Almost everyone in the factory knows about it. He didn't know. I can't make it up.

Then. The girl came over with a cup of tea. But when I saw the money on the table. I couldn't help but scream in shock. But then he covered his mouth again. There was a look of astonishment on his face. looked at Lin Chendu. He looked at his brother again. I really can't figure out what's going on.

"Go, go, go. It's okay to stay and go. Don't get in the way of us getting down to business. Big Yellow Fang took the cup from the girl's hand. Impatiently pushed her aside. Then he diligently placed the teacup in front of Lin Chendu. smiled and said, "Don't worry." I promise to know everything. There is no end to the words. You'll definitely be satisfied. "Say it. His eyes reluctantly glanced at the money on the table. Only then did he sit down next to Lin Chendui again. Stared at him. It seemed to be looking forward to his question.

Of course he wanted it too. The other party spends so much. The question of wanting to know is definitely very sensitive. There is also a lot at stake. Say it from your own mouth. It's definitely going to take the risk. But if not. How can I have the opportunity to earn money? This year. Nothing is more important than holding the money in your hands. As for the impact it will have on the factory. It's all about him.

Lin Chendui took a sip of water without hurry. I also took the opportunity to sort out my thoughts. What do you want to know? Try to stay close to the point. Take a sip of tea and drink it. I almost didn't throw it up. The tea is not too hot. But it's hard to describe what it's like. Bitter. Bitter and astringent. There's even some rancid smell that can't be described. Lin Chendui is really hard to imagine. What kind of tea can be so difficult to drink.

But he didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Instead, he resisted the uncomfortable energy of turning over the river and the sea. Swallow the tea slowly. And then with his extraordinary endurance and willpower. Calm your mind. Asked casually: "What do the people in the factory think of this shutdown?" ”

Big Yellow Fang had imagined a number of sharp questions that Lin Chenwan might ask. But I didn't expect it. The first question is as simple as that. He smiled and said, "How else can you see it." No work left. Almost one-sided scolding, of course. Let's be honest, though. I just thought it was good to stop. You can't get paid for it anyway. Who the wants to work like a dog. ”

Lin Chenwan nodded. Then he asked, "Do you know that?" Why should a good government shut down steel plants? ”

"Who knows which nerves of those officials have risen." Big Yellow Fang pouted and said, "I've heard it." It was said that the government was going to sell the steel mill to another company. The shutdown was prepared for this. I don't know if it's true. Actually. It doesn't matter if he sells it or not. As long as we are workers, we have a job to do. There is money to take. What does it matter who is the boss. It's better than being half-dead now. ”

In fact, you don't need to ask Lin Chendui to know. Except for those old workers who have a deep affection for the factory. Many young workers are concerned about whether they have a job or not. There is no money to take. And I don't care whether the factory is public or private. As long as their rights and interests are properly protected. They don't have much resistance here.

And Lin Chenwei did not think that he would complete the transformation of the Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant by selling state-owned assets at a low price. It is necessary to introduce foreign capital. However, it cannot be based on the premise of harming the interests of Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. The two sides are on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. Achieve a win-win situation. Of course. Who holds. This is not a big issue in principle. If the high-tech zone has the ability. Holding can also be good. Otherwise, Guoxing Group Holdings is not unacceptable. But there is one precondition. That is, the interests of employees cannot be sacrificed. All things being equal. Priority must be given to the existing personnel of the steel plant.

The girl sat on the side. widened his eyes and looked at Lin Chenwan and his brother asking and answering. She really couldn't figure it out. Which one are they singing? It's not a big secret. Do you need to be so serious?

But. It was the first time she had seen her brother so serious. And the demeanor of that man. There is also a charm that is difficult to describe in words. I couldn't help but be a little crazy for a while.

"Before the production was discontinued. Has the factory publicized the relevant policies to you? ”

"What is the relevant policy?" Big Yellow Tooth is confused. said: "I don't say that there is any policy. It was discontinued so suddenly. Everyone was terrified. But someone said it. It is said that living expenses will be paid during the shutdown period. I don't know if it's true. ”

"There is no official document issued by the factory." Lin Chendu's brows couldn't help frowning. Then he smiled again. Isn't that to be expected? If it is really publicized and explained. How can the resistance of the workers be so great? It seems that someone is deliberately trying to put up obstacles. I don't want the restructuring to be successful. Or succeed in your own hands.

"Nope." Big Yellow Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Even if there is, we haven't seen it." Let's be honest. Before discontinuation. The operating rate of the factory is less than 30%. Many workers who have nothing to do. Just like us. Got his own way out. You just came all the way. All who see it. Almost all of them are factory workers. No way. Everybody has to eat. All have to survive. ”
