They got into a fight.
Lin Zhenhua originally wanted to stay in Fenghua for a few days before going to Qingyang. This trip to Yuefeng, he was also exhausted, and needed to rest at home for a few days.
But little did he know, Lin Zhenhua only slept for one night at home, and the next morning, accountant Bi Min came to find him in a hurry.
"Manager Lin, something big has happened!" Bi Min shouted loudly while knocking on the door. The door of the Hanhua Factory residential building was made of ordinary pine wood board, with extremely poor sound insulation. Bi Min's shout was almost heard by the entire unit, and Lin Zhenhua was directly awakened from his dream by her.
"What's going on, Bimin? Is it a fire or an earthquake?" Lin Zhenhua asked, wearing a quilted jacket on his upper body and holding up his pants with his lower body, as he opened the door to ask Bimin.
Bi Min glanced at Lin Zhenhua's hands, which were tying his belt, and her face turned slightly red. She averted her eyes and said, "No, they got into a fight, and the person was taken away by the police station."
"Who started a fight? Was anyone hurt?" Lin Zhenhua was frightened by Bi Min's nonsensical words.
It wasn't easy, but Bimeng finally got the story straightened out. It turned out that it wasn't this side that started fighting, but rather the Qingyang Bicycle Factory's side. The two parties involved were Cao Wenchang from Hanhua Industrial Company and Shen Guoshen from Qingyang Bicycle Factory, also known as that guy they called "Shen family's second-rate son".
This matter was reported by Peng Shaozhe from Yangzhong through a long-distance call, perhaps due to the high cost of the long-distance call, Peng Shaozhe was vague on the phone and only said that the local police station had intervened and the situation was under control.
"Why are you fighting? Has anyone been hurt? What is the attitude of the factory leader from the other side? Have our people been comforted?" Lin Zhenhua bombarded him with a string of questions.
"Peng Kechang didn't make it clear." Bi Min said with a hint of grievance, the Peng Kechang she was referring to was Peng Shaozhe, who was the head of the General Affairs Department in the company.
Lin Zhenhua was furious: "You answered the phone, why didn't you ask clearly."
"It's a long-distance call, it's quite expensive."
"Damn it!" Lin Zhenhua wanted to hit the wall, "Bimin, Bimin, how many times have I told you? Enterprise management is not a trivial matter of passing the days. When we should save money, we must save; when we should spend money, we must spend. We are currently cooperating with Qingzi, and any small problem may lead to trouble in our cooperation, with losses calculated in thousands or tens of thousands. Tell me, which is more expensive, phone bills or investments of several thousand or tens of thousands?"
"Manager Lin, I know I was wrong." Bi Min lowered her head, tears swirling in her eyes. She wasn't entirely heartbroken because of Lin Zhenhua's scolding, but mainly because she felt that she might have made a huge mistake, resulting in the company losing tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan. Oh my god, tens or hundreds of thousands, this is equivalent to several months' salary!
"Uh, never mind, it's not your fault, that Peng Shaozhe is just too despicable." Lin Zhenhua had also calmed down by now and felt that scolding Bi Mian was somewhat inappropriate, so he hurriedly apologized.
"I'll go call Peng Kezhang again." Bi Min decided to turn her merits into demerits.
"Never mind, I'll go by myself."
Brushing his teeth and washing his face at an extremely fast speed, Lin Zhenhua grabbed his backpack and ran out. Bi Min followed behind him, constantly calling out to him: "Manager Lin, Manager Lin."
"It's okay, you follow behind me, I'll go first."
"No, it's just your button is fastened wrong."
"I knew it, I deliberately scored wrong... It's so cool!"
Lin Zhenhua ran all the way to the main machine room and said to the operator, "Quickly connect me to Qingyang Bicycle Factory's general department and have them contact Peng Shaozhe."
After a while, Peng Shaozhe called back from Tao's side. Lin Zhenhua's first sentence was: "Shaozhe, tell me the details of what happened. Don't worry about the phone bill, got it?"
"Got it."
"Tell me what's going on. First, tell me if anyone is hurt."
Peng Shaozhe said: "Not many people were injured, Cao Wenchang's hand was cut with a knife, but not seriously. Shen Guoshen's arm was twisted by Sun Shibao and it has been corrected after going to the hospital."
"Which Sun Master?"
"Master Sun Changyuan."
Lin Zhenhua was so angry that he almost bumped his head on the ground: "My god!" You're fighting, just fight, why bring Grandpa along? Is Master Sun's hand used to twist people's arms? How is this matter being handled now?"
"The police station has arrived and taken Shen Guoshen away, our people are fine."
Lin Zhenhua didn't feel relieved at all, thinking that if the police station only detained Shen Guoshen and let the other party involved in the fight go, it would be obvious that they were biased. Under normal circumstances, when two parties are fighting, the police station will definitely detain both sides and then distinguish between right and wrong afterwards.
"Shao Zhe, tell me what happened and who was in the wrong."
Peng Shaozhe then told Lin Zhenhua the whole story, and Lin Zhenhua's heart felt a little more at ease. It was clear that they were in the right, while the Shen family's second son was in the wrong.
The cause of the matter was on top of those several houses built by Han Hua Factory.
Han Hua Industrial Company intends to rent the factory of Shi Zi for producing electric fans. Although most workers are from existing staff in Shi Zi, Han Hua also needs to send some management personnel and team leaders for various positions, so they need to provide housing for these people.
The poem cannot spare a house, Ye Qingyang agreed that Hanhua Industrial Company can encircle a small piece of land in Taizi's production area and build several houses as dormitories. In the future, when the contract for renting the factory is fulfilled, these houses will be given to Taizi free of charge. Hanhua Industrial had already sold thousands of electric fans in the early stage and had tens of millions of yuan in profits, so building a few houses was not difficult at all.
The workers were versatile and bought some bricks, tiles and cement on their own. They quickly built more than a dozen houses, only lacking the painting of the doors and the installation of glass for the windows.
This matter was originally not a problem, but unexpectedly, as soon as the house on the side of Hanhua Industrial Company was built, some workers from Qingzi began to make trouble, saying that this house was built on Qingzi's land and should be occupied by Qingzi's workers. It's no wonder they don't talk about reason, it's just that the housing conditions for these workers' families are too tense.
Shen Guoshen was an extremely housing-deprived worker, a bachelor who lived in the factory's dormitory with three other people. He had a girlfriend in his hometown, although they were not yet at the stage of getting married, but he still felt that he should first get a marital home, while the factory could not solve his housing problem no matter what.
In this case, his eyes also fell on the several houses built by Hanhua Industrial, and he decided to take action first. On a dark and windy night, he asked several young workers to help him move his bed and trunk into an unfinished dormitory. In order to create a fait accompli, he even borrowed a stove, pots, bowls, washbasin rack and other things from someone and stuffed them in, and hung a lock on the door to show that it was occupied.
They were hammering away at the door, nailing locks on it, and startled the Hanhua Company workers who were sleeping in other unfinished houses. Everyone thought they had been robbed and rushed out to take a look. Shi Guojun and Cao Wenqiang ran ahead of everyone else and found that Shen Guoshen and his men had already occupied the house, which made Shi and Cao very angry.
These two are both from educated youth farms and are experts at seizing benefits, who would have thought that after being bandits for half their lives, someone would still be able to get the better of them.
After a quarrel, Cao Wenqiang took action. He didn't hit anyone, but instead picked up Shen Guoshen's belongings from the house and threw them directly into the wilderness. At that time, it had just rained lightly, and there was still some water on the ground. It is unknown whether Cao Wenqiang did it intentionally or unintentionally, but in any case, Shen Guoshen's bedding happened to be thrown into a small puddle, getting soaked through.
Shen Guoshen was also furious, picked up a iron rod and hit Cao Wenchang, who used his hand to block the blow and got a cut on his hand. Cao Wenchang was enraged, yelling loudly and wanting to fight Shen Guoshen to the death.
At this time, Sun Changyuan, who was in charge of arranging the production line, also rushed over. His temper was even more violent than that of Shi and Cao. Without saying a word, he single-handedly took the iron rod from Shen Guoshen's hand, and with his other hand, he twisted Shen Guoshen's arm out of shape. The rest of the young workers from Qingzi Factory who had come to help saw Old Sun gripping both ends of the thumb-thick iron rod with both hands, and with a burst of strength, he bent the iron rod into a U-shape.
These young people have never seen such a formation before. When they saw the workers of Hanhua Industrial Company gathering around, they knew that good men don't know the principle of losing in front of their eyes, so they retreated a few steps, just scolding and daring not to try to use force again.
At this time, the factory leaders and the police station personnel rushed to the scene upon hearing the news. Some curious workers also gathered around, discussing the incident in hushed tones. Ye Qingyang ordered that the injured be sent to the hospital for treatment first, then consulted with Peng Shaozhe, suggesting that both sides calm down and wait for a clear investigation before taking further action.
The police station was not so easy to talk to, and they immediately found a few people to ask questions. After roughly understanding the cause and effect of the matter, they went directly to the hospital and took Shen Guoshen, who had just been treated for his arm injury, into custody. As for the reason, it was determined that he had occupied state property and beaten workers protecting state property.
The police station was able to react so quickly, and just as Lin Zhenhua had guessed, there was also the face of Han Tao involved. The one handling this matter was Deputy Director Fei Xiaorong, who privately told Peng Shaozhe: "Director Han has entrusted us with this, whoever gives you trouble is giving him trouble. Don't worry, if anyone from our side dares to cause trouble, our police station will back you up."
Lin Zhenhua asked about the situation and instructed Peng Shaozhe: "Shaozhe, you take care of our workers and don't let them clash with Qingzi's side again. Also, tell Ye Changzhang that I'll be right over to handle this matter..."
"Alright..."
"Also,..., you tell Director Qiu that no matter who is right or wrong, our side, Hanhua Industrial, has responsibility in this matter and we will definitely give an explanation to the Taizi side."
"Xiao Hua, is this really necessary? It's clear that they were in the wrong from the start..."
"That's all you need to say," Lin Zhenhua said. "No matter what the situation is, everything will be handled after I get there, got it?"
"Alright, I'll wait for you to come over." Peng Shaozhe replied.
