Chapter 18 Panshi's Mass Incident

Fan Heng rushed back to the hotel in a hurry, briefly explained the situation to Zhang Mei and Fan Wubing, and then the four of them packed up their things. Not long after, Director Huo Yanan from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee rushed over and brought A car, a secretary. Seeing Fan Heng driving a Mercedes-Benz, he couldn't help being a little surprised, but he didn't say much.

"Perhaps because Fan Heng is relatively powerful, he was able to be promoted to the central government by the cadres of the enterprise, and finally he was directly transferred to Panshi to become the mayor of a prefecture-level city." Huo Yanan immediately showed more respect for Fan Heng when he thought about it. .

Fan Heng seemed a little worried, a mass incident happened, it was a very serious matter, and now he didn't know how far it happened? Generally speaking, Chinese people are more persuasive. Now that such a big incident has happened, there may be two problems. One is that someone is fueling the flames, and the other is that the situation of the glass factory in Panshi City is more than what is mentioned in the materials reported in the newspaper. Even more embarrassing.

Fan Wubing was driving the car, seeing his father's gloomy face, he comforted him, "Father, there is no need to be so nervous. It's just an ordinary incident caused by unpaid wages. In the end, you just need money to calm things down and settle things down." Yes, this matter is said to be difficult because no one is willing to take on this responsibility, don't worry, I will tell Wang Laoer to hurry back, prepare two sacks of cash first, and discuss the root of the problem after the matter is calmed down."

"Then how can it be?" Fan Heng suddenly felt very inappropriate, "Personal money is actually required to solve the government's affairs? This matter is also said, so it won't make people laugh? And in principle, this Basically smearing the face of the government."

Fan Heng's words naturally have their own considerations. What happened to the glass factory in Panshi City already disgraced the city government. If he came up with a big loan to deal with the aftermath, his colleagues and superiors How do you see yourself?

Government versus private borrowing? This has happened before. In ancient times, the emperor borrowed money from private individuals. When Yuan Shikai became emperor in modern times, he also borrowed money from foreign bank syndicates, but it is different now! How could such a shameful thing happen to us?

Fan Wubing's views are naturally superior. He has seen too many similar things before he was reborn. It is not uncommon for the government to borrow money from private individuals. The problem is that you have to take out something that can be exchanged at an equivalent value or that is higher than the value of the funds provided by others as an exchange or mortgage. Otherwise, no one is a fool, how could it be possible to lend money to the government?

A mayor can't hold office for a few years, and sometimes the city's economy cannot be completely reversed during his term of office, so the possibility of repaying the money during his term of office is not very great. Once the mayor changes, it is difficult to say that the arrears up.

"For this matter, the first thing is to calm down. No matter what method you use." Fan Wubing thought for a while and then analyzed, "Since the three giants in the province have unanimously asked you to go back and solve the problem, it is natural Let's see what your methods are, Dad. Hehe, the airborne cadres from the capital will always have a way to solve such a small trouble by themselves, right?"

Fan Heng smiled wryly,

What a little trouble! This is a big problem that can only be appeased by spending real money! There are thousands of employees in the Panshi Glass Factory, and the wages of so many people have not come out for several months. It is not easy to solve it all at once. It is obviously bad luck that I encountered such a big trouble before I took office, or the current Panshi is a mess that no one wants to go to!

Could it be that the giants in the province want to give themselves a blow to the guy who suddenly broke the political balance in the province?

They shouldn't be so irresponsible, Fan Heng shook his head, and simply didn't think about it further.

After they actually arrived at the Rock, they realized that the problem was far more serious than they had imagined.

Because here, more than one life has been lost.

The situation is much more serious than what was reported in the report. The Panshi Glass Factory stopped paying wages half a year ago. The workers in the factory have been on vacation all the time, and those who have some means have left. Those who can go to the south to work, or go out to do some small business by themselves, or do some wholesale business, sell cloth, shoes and hats, and earn some money. is a bit.

But after all, there are still people who can't do this. The wages of the workers are not high, and the wealth accumulated over the past ten years can't stand the toss, and many people are sitting on nothing. Even signed a lot of foreign debt.

"I remember when I left Panshi, the business of the glass factory was still very good!" Fan Heng felt very sad about this situation.

Before Fan Wubing went abroad, he handed over the business of equipping humidifiers with high-grade glass parts to Panshi City Glass Factory. Although the profits gradually declined later, the market for this business was huge. The orders that glass factories can receive will not be small. How come you don't even get your salary?

"I won't be able to explain this matter for a while." Yang Tianhe, secretary-general of the city government who received Fan Heng and the others, looked helpless. He seemed hesitant to speak, obviously there was something unspeakable lingering in it.

Seeing this, Fan Heng didn't bother to ask him any more, and ordered him to lead the way directly to the scene.

I didn't see it until I got to the scene. There were really too many people gathered together. No wonder the province was alarmed. It is said that the higher authorities also asked about this matter.

Panshi has always been a transportation hub. A major railway artery running north-south passes through the city center, dividing Panshi City into east and west parts. Generally speaking, the old city is to the west of the railway, and the large factories built in the past are basically located in the west of the road, while The east of the railway has been gradually developed in recent years, including government offices and some emerging land-run enterprises, most of which have been built to the east of the road.

And the place where the workers of the glass factory in Panshi City made trouble was not on the west side of the road, nor on the east side of the road, but on the railway.

After the persuasion of the city staff, the workers and their families have already been torn off the railway, and they rolled up their bedding and sat on the open space beside the road, waiting for an explanation from the city. the masses.

Hearing that the new mayor, Comrade Fan Heng, had arrived at the scene, Liu Dejiang rushed over immediately. After exchanging a few simple greetings, he said with relief, "Great! Finally, Mayor Fan is here. Persuading them, the words are almost worn out! Now I have a backbone!"

Hearing these words, Fan Heng seemed to be shirking responsibility, but when he saw the big bubbles on Liu Dejiang's mouth, he immediately understood that this person had done his best.

After all, thousands of people gathered here, and if something went wrong, it would become even more unmanageable.

For two days in a row, Liu Dejiang insisted on staying at the scene, and mobilized many cadres to persuade him, and ordered the canteen in the city to bring a lot of steamed buns, pickles, boiled water and so on overnight. Something went wrong.

"We have no solution, but we can't allow the situation to deteriorate further, so we have to persuade them to maintain the status quo. It is relatively difficult to get them to withdraw." Liu Dejiang briefly introduced the situation here, and then said.

"What is the fuse? How did it happen?" Fan Heng was more concerned about the whole cause of the matter.

Liu Dejiang sighed, glanced at the propaganda officer beside him, pushed and said, "Come and tell Mayor Fan, I'll go over there to blow some air."

After Liu Dejiang left, the propaganda officer began to explain the whole story to Fan Heng and others.

It turns out that this incident started with the collective suicide of a family in the Panshi Glass Factory.

The family consisted of four members, both of whom were employees of the glass factory. The daughter had just graduated from high school and did not go to university, and the son was only in the third year of junior high school. It was also a time when studies were tight.

Because the glass factory has not received wages for more than half a year, life at home has become increasingly tense. My daughter felt that staying at home was too stressful, so she left a letter and went to work in the south. As a result, some relatives came back from there not long after. I brought back news that my daughter couldn't find a suitable job and "went into the sea".

Hearing this news at home was very exciting. It had been a hiatus for two days, but now the man became cruel and bought all the valuable things that could be found in the house, and then the three of them had a good time. After one meal, rat poison was put in the meal.

"When the neighbors find out, it will stink." The propaganda officer also choked up when he said this, his eyes were red.

They are all from the folks in the village. No one feels bad when something like this happens.

After hearing this, Fan Heng couldn't stand it anymore, "How much money can the city use?"

A middle-aged man in his forties came out from the crowd around him. He was Jin Daoming, the finance director of Panshi City. He was thin and had a bad complexion. money."

In the past two years, the profits of several enterprises in Panshi City have not been very good, and the fiscal revenue has naturally declined greatly, especially the construction of Ludong District, which also took up a large part of the funds. The situation is serious, and the finances are indeed very tight. In other words, if some money is squeezed out today and given to the workers in the glass factory, then workers from other units may come to lie on the track tomorrow.

After Fan Heng heard this answer, he didn't react too much, which was expected.

But so many cadres around looked at Fan Heng eagerly, hoping that the mayor of the Central Airborne, the former deputy director of the Pingyuan Factory, and the person who had led the Pingyuan Factory to glory, could come up with a solution.

"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!" Fan Heng had no choice but to shift his gaze to his son Fan Wubing.
