Chapter 3 3. Arresting a person is to make others no longer worry

When Du Linxiang hid in the suite of the Daye Hotel and bargained with Lu Youshun on the phone, the situation in the factory had reversed! After Mr. Xue and his party returned to the factory area, they immediately notified all the workers of the negotiations.But when Section Chief Xue proposed to let Tao Xuefeng go out for treatment first, he met with fierce opposition from some workers. Someone yelled loudly: "If you don't agree to all of our conditions, you don't want to let Tao go out." Someone else asked: "Today we beat Tao Xuefeng half to death, what should I do if he settles accounts after autumn?"

Most of the old state-owned enterprises have a problem, the personnel relations inside are intricate, and there are many small gangs and cliques.The incident happened suddenly today, and everyone came together out of hatred for Tao Xuefeng.Once Tao Xuefeng was sure that he would leave, this short and loose alliance would immediately disintegrate. From time to time, someone in the crowd yelled: "You are talking about a traitorous treaty, and you cannot represent the opinions of the majority of workers." Several gray-haired old masters came up to the stage and declared that expulsion of Tao Xuefeng was only the first step. Get rid of the Weitong Group and restore the metallurgical plant's status as a state-owned enterprise.

Zhuang Zhiqi persuaded from the side: "What era is this? Why are you still clinging to the status of a state-owned enterprise? It has been five years since the factory was restructured, and your goal is simply impossible to achieve." The old master was trembling with anger, and cursed angrily: "You know nothing! The surname Zhuang, you have the face to say this? Our good factory was brought down by you." Perhaps Zhuang Zhiqi's popularity in the factory is not good on weekdays, the master made a accusation, and people in the audience immediately echoed, Zhuang Zhiqi blushed, and didn't even have a chance to refute.

Chief Xue stood on the stage again and said, "Today we are really thinking about the interests of everyone. Tao was beaten to half his life, and we have to vent our anger. There is no need to punish him to death." On such an occasion, no one has the authority to speak out.Whoever has more radical ideas and who dares to speak harsh words will win applause and support.Any rational voice can only be lost in the roar of workers. At this moment, someone yelled from the audience: "Du Linxiang just promised to make someone surnamed Xue the deputy general manager. He has already betrayed everyone, and he came back to be a traitor."

As soon as the conversation in the hotel was over, Du Linxiang asked someone to go to the square to release a message, saying that Section Chief Xue agreed to be the vice president, and then came back to work as a worker.This kind of indistinguishable news is quite lethal.In addition, there were many factions in the metallurgical plant, and those workers who had a feud with Chief Xue were immediately incited. Section Chief Xue was also furious: "Fuck you, when did I agree to be the vice president? Today I am negotiating with Du Linxiang from the standpoint of everyone. Some bastards ruined my good intentions like this!"

On stage and off stage, they shouted at each other.The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly tense, like a pile of dry firewood was on fire.At this time, a grumpy worker picked up a brick from the ground and threw it straight onto the stage.Chief Xue couldn't dodge in time, blood flowed profusely from his forehead. Chief Xue, as the chief of the security department, naturally has a group of hard-core brothers by his side.Someone saw who threw the brick with sharp eyes, and immediately waved a wooden stick to drive him off the stage, wanting to avenge the section chief.The conflicts accumulated in the factory for many years broke out. Some workers even divided into two groups and fought in the square. They kept yelling and calling each other traitors.

The police waiting outside naturally saw this scene.Tang Jian, who has been in command in the meeting room of Daye Hotel, is an experienced old security guard.He thinks that the scene is chaotic now, which is an excellent time to forcibly clear the scene.Opportunities are fleeting, and there should be no hesitation.He picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and issued an order for immediate action. Then, the scene that Du Linxiang saw in the window appeared.The riot police divided into several groups and rushed in.After a whole day of confrontation, coupled with the infighting that had just occurred, the workers were obviously exhausted, and the clearing operation lasted ten minutes before it was declared over.The workers in the square were dispersed, and Tao Xuefeng, who had been trapped in the encirclement for nearly ten hours, was also carried out on a stretcher.

Du Linxiang, who was sitting in the hotel suite, let out a long sigh of relief.He couldn't help taking out a cigarette and lighting it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Du Linxiang hasn't laughed for several days since he learned the sad news of his father's death. Half an hour later, Gao Mingyong walked in and reported in detail the situation in the factory area and the process of the police clearing the site.Du Linxiang patted Gao Mingyong's shoulder quite excitedly: "I asked you to release the news that Section Chief Xue was bribed by us, and only wanted to divide and disintegrate them as much as possible. Whatever step you can go is whatever step you can take. I really didn't expect that , They will actually fight. This is God's will!"

Du Linxiang got up and looked down at the messy square, he couldn't help but secretly delighted.The workers were dispersed, and the gathering was considered to be quelled.At the beginning, he only agreed to the first two conditions of the workers. As for the last condition, the initiative to agree or not is now in his own hands.The point is that the preferential policies from the government have been issued in black and white.After today's tossing, maybe I can make a net profit. Rejoicing, Du Linxiang was thinking about his father's funeral.He took out his mobile phone and called Du Linyang, the fifth younger brother who stayed in his hometown, to inquire about today's situation.Du Linyang said that everything was fine in his hometown. The Du family set up water seats, and everyone in the village ate from noon to night.For those villagers who contributed to their father's funeral, the Du family also prepared red envelopes, and they would come to thank them one by one tomorrow morning.

Du Linxiang nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time told the fifth younger brother: "Some elders, although they did not contribute much to the funeral, they must not be forgotten. Prepare a few more red envelopes, and go to visit tomorrow by the way." Then, Du Linxiang called his son Du Tingyu again: "Dad has a lot of things to do here, and I can't make it back. You represent me, and follow a few uncles and uncles to visit the folks in the village tomorrow." After everything was settled, Du Linxiang walked out of the Daye Hotel and got into his Mercedes-Benz.Last night I stayed up all night for my father to keep his filial piety, and today I have been busy all day.When he got home, he couldn't wait to throw his tired body on the two-meter-wide bed and fell asleep soundly.

At three o'clock in the morning, Du Linxiang, who was sound asleep, was awakened by the ringing of the phone.The caller ID is An Youqi.Du Linxiang was startled, what happened again?After answering the phone, An Youqi said hurriedly, "I'm rushing from home to the hospital. The news just came that Tao Xuefeng died!" Du Linxiang opened his sleepy eyes, and all sleepiness disappeared for a moment. In just one day, Tao Xuefeng received three violent beatings.In the morning, when he inspected the factory area, he had a conflict with a drunk security guard. He was pressed down on the ground by the security guard and slapped heavily, and the people around him did not forget to punch his head.After finally escaping back to the office, a group of ferocious workers rushed in again, punching and kicking without explanation.In the afternoon, the workers dragged him out of the office and pushed him into the square for a demonstration, dancing with bricks and sticks.No matter how strong Tao Xuefeng was, he couldn't bear to be ravaged like this. The most pitiful thing is that the dying Tao Xuefeng was trapped in the factory without any effective treatment.After nine o'clock in the evening, the police rushed in, and Tao Xuefeng, who was carried into the ambulance, could barely speak at that time.But after arriving at the hospital, the injury deteriorated rapidly, and eventually he died. When Du Linxiang arrived at the hospital, the corridor was full of people.Seeing Du Linxiang, Tao Xuefeng's wife knelt down and cried loudly, "Third Brother, you have to make the decision for us!" Today's Weitong Group is already a big enterprise in Hezhou.The new employees of the company all respectfully call Du Linxiang "Mr. Du", and those who can call Du Linxiang "Third Brother" are all veteran entrepreneurs of the year.Tao Xuefeng defected to Du Linxiang ten years ago, working all the way from an ordinary construction worker to a company executive. Du Linxiang couldn't stop crying.After all, Tao Xuefeng is his brother who has followed him for ten years!People just leave?He supported Tao Xuefeng's wife, and comforted him with kind words.Du Linxiang knew that Tao Xuefeng had a son who was in high school, so he asked, "Why didn't your son come, does he know about it?" Tao Xuefeng's wife nodded: "We were there just now. Now I will go out with him, Uncle Lin." Uncle Lin is naturally Lin Zhengliang.At this time, what are they going out for?Du Linxiang called the people around him to ask questions, only to find out that the sons of Lin Zhengliang and Tao Xuefeng led a group of brothers straight to the metallurgical plant.Before leaving, Lin Zhengliang said: "We can't find those who kicked black legs, first go and catch that drunk security guard." Upon hearing this, Du Linxiang shivered in fright.My darling, enough things have happened today, Lin Zhengliang must not make any further troubles.He grabbed the phone and called Lin Zhengliang: "Where are you?" Lin Zhengliang's tone was full of grief and indignation: "I have brought dozens of brothers with me, and I am going to the gate of the metallurgical plant soon." Du Linxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.As long as Lin Zhengliang and the others haven't made a move, it's still too late to stop them.He said firmly: "Come right back! Now is not the time to fight for power." "Third Brother, the lunatic has been with us for ten years. He can't just die like this." Lin Zhengliang growled on the phone. The situation was urgent, and Du Linxiang's tone became more firm: "If you still recognize me as the third brother, come back immediately." Lin Zhengliang almost squeezed out two words between his teeth: "Okay." Putting down the phone, Du Linxiang was still worried.He didn't care that it was early in the morning, so he called Tang Jian, the director of the Public Security Bureau, to wake him up.Du Linxiang reported the news of Tao Xuefeng's death. In order to prevent accidents, he begged Director Tang to send more police forces near the metallurgical plant. Du Linxiang noticed that after these few phone calls, Tao Xuefeng's wife's eyes on him had changed from anticipation to indifference and complaint.There was also a faint pain in his heart.Alas, for the sake of the overall situation, I can only endure with a knife on my head.I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of what the people around me think of me as the third brother! The sky has turned white.Du Linxiang, who had been waiting in the hospital overnight, rushed back to the company with An Youqi, Gao Mingyong and others.Too many things happened in one day, Du Linxiang decided to hold an emergency meeting in the morning to discuss countermeasures.Only Lin Zhengliang asked for leave. He said that he would send the lunatic to the funeral home himself. Du Linxiang knew that Lin Zhengliang usually had the deepest relationship with Tao Xuefeng.Lin Zhengliang also felt resentful about Du Linxiang forcing his horse to withdraw from the metallurgical plant last night.Du Linxiang didn't care about these things, but just asked Lin Zhengliang to represent the company and properly arrange Tao Xuefeng's funeral. Corporate executives were called into conference rooms early on.Du Linxiang glanced around, and then said a little tiredly: "Everyone knows what happened yesterday. Let me talk about your thoughts, how to deal with the aftermath?" "Mr. Du, I think the most urgent task is not to consider the aftermath, but how to ensure that no new incidents will occur again." Gao Mingyong said. "What else can happen?" Du Linxiang asked.The workers had already been dispersed, and Tao Xuefeng had also left. It seemed that all the disasters that should have happened had come. Gao Mingyong said: "Last night, many brothers in the company who had a good relationship with Brother Tao were very emotional and threatened to take revenge. In the end, you suppressed this fire. But have we thought about the metallurgical plant?" The situation here? How would they react when they heard that Tao Xuefeng had died? The workers had been dispersed last night. If Tao had only suffered minor injuries, the matter would have passed. It is precisely because Tao died that the workers would feel fear. , and even twisted together again because of fear of retaliation." Gao Mingyong was right. When the workers learned that Tao Xuefeng was dead, they would definitely feel in danger.Early this morning, although the matter of Lin Zhengliang taking people to seek revenge was stopped, rumors must have spread.What will the workers think, and will there be another fierce conflict with Weitong because of self-protection? Du Linxiang asked anxiously: "Then what shall we do?" Gao Mingyong said: "We should immediately send people to the factory to communicate with the workers, to show that Witton will never settle accounts after the fall, and to appease the workers' emotions." Du Linxiang nodded and said, "That makes sense! Who to send?" When Du Linxiang asked such a question, no one spoke to him. Even Gao Mingyong, who was talking eloquently just now, was staring at his notebook dully at the moment.Everyone is really scared!Tao Xuefeng was killed only yesterday, God knows what will happen today.Besides, according to Gao Mingyong, the current metallurgical plant is simply a pile of firewood, and it may be ignited again at any time. "They're all a bunch of idiots!" Du Linxiang was a little annoyed, "Usually they brag and chat, and each one is better than the other. When it comes to a critical moment, they are all useless things. Forget it, I didn't expect you at first. I will go there myself!" Despite being scolded bloody, many executives breathed a sigh of relief.No matter who goes, I don't have to go anyway! Du Linxiang was about to get up, but An Youqi stopped him: "It's not suitable for you to go, I'll go!" Everyone stared at An Youqi in surprise.In the metallurgical plant, the men are afraid to avoid it, but you, a woman, want to go to the meeting alone? An Youqi smiled and said: "Du is always the top leader. If he goes and the talks fail, there will be no room for change. Besides, I am a woman, but I am safe. I will not have more than a thousand workers to beat up a woman." Seniors, right?" Du Linxiang looked at An Youqi gratefully.The woman next to him is really a heroine like Liang Hongyu.He said with concern: "I will send ten security guards to follow you." An Youqi shook her head: "Those people are amazing, we all learned yesterday. If something happens, even a hundred security guards won't work." Du Linxiang thought that what An Youqi said was reasonable, so he didn't insist anymore.He took a sip of his tea, then remembered another matter, and said, "Contact the Public Security Bureau, and ask them to arrest that security guard who beat Tao Xuefeng while drunk." Some people below are puzzled, isn't it meant to stabilize workers' emotions and ease conflicts?Why are you in a hurry to arrest people? Du Linxiang frowned tightly: "Tao Xuefeng's life must be held accountable both logically and legally. There were at least a hundred or so people who beat Tao Xuefeng yesterday. Strictly speaking, they are all murderers, and they are all worried that they will be punished." Liquidate. The security guard was the first to do it, and arresting him is equivalent to telling everyone that you don't have to worry, and the security guard will bear the responsibility." An Youqi also nodded in agreement: "This is a good way to handle it. If no one comes forward to take responsibility, more people will be frightened." After An Youqi left for the metallurgical plant, Du Linxiang received a call from Lu Youshun.When Lu Youshun received the news of Tao Xuefeng's death, he was very worried that the situation would deteriorate again.Lu Youshun explained two points on the phone: quickly send someone to the metallurgical plant to stabilize the mood of the workers; in addition, arrest the security guard who was the first to do it, and told the workers that no one else will be affected if the treatment ends here. Du Linxiang agreed to everything, and he couldn't help but feel complacent. I have actually thought of everything you can think of, Mayor Lu, and even ordered people to do it.After going through so many ups and downs, my old Du finally made some progress. At noon, An Youqi called and said that due to timely communication, the situation in the factory had basically stabilized.Du Linxiang was very relieved, and repeatedly told An Youqi to pay attention to safety. In the afternoon, Du Linxiang rushed to the funeral home again.Tao Xuefeng is a subordinate who has followed him for many years, regardless of the credit, at least hard work is indispensable, Du Linxiang must go to accompany Tao Xuefeng on this last journey.In just a few days, Du Linxiang attended two funerals. Hearing the mourning in the mourning hall, his mood was very gloomy. At the funeral home, Du Linxiang received a call from Beijing. The caller claimed to be a reporter from a weekly magazine. He saw a post on the Internet saying that the general manager of a subsidiary company sent by the Wisdom Group was beaten to death by workers. Learn about the situation. This damn net post!In the online society, everything is hard to hide.Du Linxiang immediately explained on the phone: "The incident has been properly resolved. It was just a few people who were emotionally excited and did not know the severity of the action. I am now attending the funeral of the deceased in the funeral home. The company will do a good job of comforting the family of the deceased. The metallurgical plant , We have also dispatched specialized personnel, and the workers’ emotions are very stable.” In just one afternoon, Du Linxiang received nearly ten calls, all of which were from various reporters looking for information.Every time, he would respond politely to the other party, saying that the incident had been properly handled.At night, Du Linxiang couldn't bear the disturbance, so he simply shut down the phone.At the same time, he asked Gao Mingyong to contact the post deletion company in Beijing to delete the online posts about this matter.Through several previous cooperations, Du Linxiang is quite confident in the business capabilities of the delete post company. He believes that this time, the guys from the delete post company will still do a good job. When Du Linxiang woke up early the next morning and opened the webpage, he found that everything was unexpected! The homepages of several major portal websites are full of news about Tao Xuefeng's death, and there are also a large number of comments and comments from netizens.The news headline of one website was actually "Chairman of Wisdom Group Says Tao Xuefeng's Death Was Accidental Injury".After seeing the news, Tang Jian, director of the Hezhou Public Security Bureau, called and asked, "The investigation by the Public Security Bureau is still ongoing. How can you say that Tao Xuefeng's death was an accidental injury?" Du Linxiang was very wronged: "I never said that at all." Later, Du Linxiang read the news carefully, and the reporter developed and interpreted the theory of accidental injury based on what he said, "It's just a few people who are emotionally excited for a while, and they don't know the severity of the shot."Moreover, the word "accidental injury" was prominently placed in the title. "Damn, isn't this a scam?" Du Linxiang scolded fiercely. Subsequent follow-up reports have also been launched.A reporter went to the funeral home and interviewed Tao Xuefeng's wife.Tao's wife was filled with grief and indignation, and shouted in front of the reporter, "I want all the murderers to pay with blood, and none of them will be spared."The workers at the metallurgical plant became nervous again when they saw the report, and they asked An Youqi: "Didn't you just deal with the drunken security guard? What does 'want all murderers to pay with their blood'?" Some reporters said in their manuscripts that the restructuring of the Hezhou Metallurgical Plant was a cheap sale of state-owned assets, and even alluded to the fact that Du Linxiang trampled on the rights and interests of workers through collusion between the government and businessmen.Du Linxiang was even more furious when he saw these reports: "Even if the state-owned assets were sold at a low price, it was a good thing that Gu Weimin did five years ago. What does it have to do with me, Du? I bought the factory from Gu Weimin." Over the years of starting a business, several negative news articles about Wistron have appeared in the newspapers, which is no surprise to Du Linxiang.However, Du Linxiang has never experienced such a large-scale, high-density, and even several-day follow-up report.He always patiently explained to reporters who called for interviews, but no matter what he said, the final reports were unexpected.
