Chapter 1747: Chapter 1747

This matter, Song Guanchao must keep in his hands, it must be handled by him, and only by him.

He knows too well these people in the city, once handed over to others, it will most likely follow Lin He’s plan.

Song Guanchao exhausts his efforts, offends so many people, for what?

Isn’t it to ensure that the citizens affected by pollution receive compensation, to fundamentally resolve the pollution issue?

Having passed the first eighty levels and getting stuck at the last one, Song Guanchao absolutely cannot tolerate it.

But to handle such matters, raw force alone is not enough.

Lin He has put forward a plan, you can oppose it, but you must also have a corresponding solution.

So back in the office, Song Guanchao looked up Cai Zixiang’s number.

"Brother Song, it’s been a while since we’ve been in touch." Cai Zixiang’s tone was gentle and warm.

"Brother Cai, I have something to consult you about."

Song Guanchao felt quite awkward, the relationships around him, he usually never relies on them, but when he does, it’s always for a crucial matter.

"If you can’t solve it, it seems to be a big problem, tell me about it."

"Our city’s chemical park has a batch of enterprises due to pollution discharge issues..."

He tried not to miss any detail, speaking for a full quarter of an hour.

Cai Zixiang said, "There are many solutions, depending on your specific demands."

Song Guanchao said, "First, the citizens affected by the pollution must receive compensation. Second, the employees laid off due to shutdowns and mergers must get compensated. Third..."

Listening to him itemize them one by one, Cai Zixiang smiled and said, "If it were on Hong Kong Island, you wouldn’t need to mention these. But in the mainland, it is indeed difficult. If you follow your demands, there are several hurdles to overcome."

"Shutdowns and mergers imply the enterprise is facing operational issues, creditors will most likely demand immediate repayment. Among the creditors, banks are the main ones, and by law, money must first compensate banks."

"You need to get the enterprise’s debt profit statement first, though it’s not very significant, the debt will definitely exceed the profit. The money in the enterprise’s own account, even when emptied, is not enough for compensation. This requires dismantling and selling the enterprise, no one will take over departments with high debt ratios. Conversely, quality assets will be in demand, you need to package both so that they take over."

"For a normal enterprise, the money obtained from dismantling and selling in this way is certainly enough to compensate laid-off employees and affected citizens."

Song Guanchao listened very attentively, Cai Zixiang continued, "Additionally, you can have a good talk with the enterprise’s senior management..."

"There’s nothing to talk about."

"Don’t rush, listen to me first." Cai Zixiang said, "The essence of shutdowns and mergers is that you can win over part, divide part, then discard part."

What does it mean?

Song Guanchao patiently listened to him continue: "Pick a few large-scale companies, promise them that post-merger, they can continue in their original positions. Thus, they will cooperate with your work. The 22 enterprises will be split from one solid block into several."

"Find relevant professionals to create a merger model to decide which companies need complete bankruptcy liquidation. But even in bankruptcy, you still need to talk to their senior management and promise them a place. Usually, at such a time, they won’t directly refuse, it depends on how you negotiate. Remember, never talk to the shareholders."

"Talk to the senior managers without letting shareholders know."

Song Guanchao excels at breaking chaos, not proficient in these intricacies, but he is quick-witted, and what Cai Zixiang explained was straightforward and easy to understand, he already knew what to do.

"I got it, thank you, Brother Cai."

They caught up for a while, and Song Guanchao called Zhou Xingjian over, asking him to go to the park to get those enterprises’ profit and debt sheets.

Then opened the computer and started typing on the keyboard.

Soon formed an exceptionally feasible plan.

All that was left was to wait.

Wait for next week’s Wu Qiangwei to bring the matter over and let himself take charge, then he can contact those enterprises and have a serious talk.

However, things did not follow his steps.

On Monday, Wu Qiangwei went to the City Committee.

In a small meeting room, according to the group meeting standard, there were a total of five standing committee members.

Zhou Zheng brought out Lin He’s plan, which was immediately opposed by Wu Qiangwei, who raised several apparent issues, making Zhou Zheng a bit stuck.

"Ahem." Wang Jinming coughed, trying to mediate: "Mr. Lin’s plan still has flaws, these issues indeed cannot be avoided. If by any chance the press finds out and reports it, Jiangzhou will again draw the leadership’s attention."

Wang Jinming was speaking in favor of Wu Qiangwei but used the press as a pretext to express his concern.

The main reason is that Chang Hai had previously intimidated them during the meeting with reporters, so Wang Jinming’s words did not seem abrupt.

He blew on his teacup and said, "It’s not worth it."

Zhou Zheng and the others fell silent.

Wang Jinming’s concerns indeed warranted attention, this was a realistic possibility.

"The Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee’s investigation will end this week, vindicating Director Song."

"This matter will be handed over to Director Song."

Wu Qiangwei didn’t lay the groundwork, directly appointing him.

She was too assertive, and coupled with Wang Jinming’s reminder, the others could not find words to retort.

Wu Qiangwei glanced over them, saw them silent, and slowly got up: "I’ll be heading back first."

This matter, thus settled.

After she left, Wang Jinming sighed lightly: "Mr. Lin’s plan, the risk is too high."

Zhou Zheng nodded, thinking about Chang Hai’s threatening words during the meeting.

Chang Hai’s goal was achieved, but it set a bad precedent.

After the meeting, back in the office, Zhou Zheng called Lin He.

"Alright, I understand." Lin He’s reaction was indifferent, no anger detected.

"Wu Qiangwei, Song Guanchao..." Lin He recited their names.

He anticipated things wouldn’t be smooth, and indeed it got stuck on these two.

Since so, he wouldn’t be courteous.

He picked up the phone: "Chairman Qian, I will need you to make a trip to the Fuli Hotel..."

...

...

Wu Qiangwei was in high spirits, in this small meeting, among five people, besides Wang Jinming, the other three were on the same side.

But in the end, she still achieved her objective.

She didn’t want the relationship with Zhou Zheng to be too tense, but now it’s not a matter of her wanting or not, it’s very difficult for both parties to coexist peacefully.

Reaching this delicate balance as it is, has not been easy.

There are some matters Wu Qiangwei can compromise on but not this one.

As the car just drove into the City Committee’s parking lot, her phone rang, it was Ji Wei calling.

It seemed the investigation on Song Guanchao was concluded.

"Hello, Mr. Ji."

"Mayor Wu, there is a matter I must inform you of." Ji Wei’s voice sounded slightly solemn.

"What is it?"

"I just received a report on Director Song, and it may require holding him for investigation."
