Seeing him pause, Sun Liancheng spoke up to help explain.
Although he had some issues with Ding Yi Zhen, they represented Guangming District in the meeting, so they had to maintain a facade of unity.
"Secretary Li, there are a total of over 1,300 employees at the Dafeng Factory. After the resettlement fees are in place, we can solve the problem for over 800 of them, leaving less than 500 shareholder employees!"
"But now there's a problem. These shareholder employees don't recognize the contract that was authorized to Cai Chenggong, which was then used as collateral for the Shanshui Group. So even if the resettlement fees are paid out, they might still try to get their own rights back!"
Li Da Kang glanced at Sun Liancheng before continuing, "This matter of the 500 people is easy to handle! If there are problems with the equity, we'll go through legal procedures. Those who need to be sued will be sued, and we'll handle it swiftly and strictly. President Wang, this is your court's responsibility!"
A man who looked to be in his fifties quickly replied, "Secretary Li, rest assured, we will definitely cooperate fully with this work. We'll prioritize this, and I will personally oversee it!"
"Good. Everyone needs to take this seriously. I also want to remind you, all the funds must be in place within a week. Whoever has problems, whoever steps down!"
"Meeting adjourned!"
After the meeting ended, everyone left in groups of two or three.
Although Sun Liancheng was not young, his physique was good, making him look only in his thirties. He walked with a vigorous stride.
Ding Yi Zhen jogged a few steps and finally caught up to him.
"District Chief Sun, Brother Sun, why are you walking so fast? I still wanted to talk to you about something!"
Sun Liancheng said, "Secretary Ding, this doesn't involve me, does it? You and the District Finance department can handle the money. What can I do?"
"Well... hmm, District Chief Sun, you have extensive experience in civil affairs and are also the deputy commander of the Guangming Peak project. I think you should send a working group to the Dafeng Factory to stabilize their emotions. The matter can be resolved quickly, wouldn't you agree?"
Sun Liancheng smiled, "No problem! I can handle this tomorrow. I'll ensure that they won't leave the factory to cause chaos for a week, nor will they go to the provincial committee or provincial government to appeal. Is that alright?"
"Hahaha, I knew you, Brother Sun, would be reliable in crucial times!"
"Secretary Ding, you're being too kind. It's my duty! Well, if you have nothing else, I'll head back!"
"Alright, alright, go ahead and return. I have some things to report."
Ding Yi Zhen watched Sun Liancheng walk away before his face became cloudy and uncertain.
Things had developed to this point. If they weren't careful, they might expose their corruption.
Although they believed they had been discreet, who knows if anyone could find out?
For example, Sun Liancheng. He knew the details of the Dafeng Factory's data, so wouldn't he know about other things?
So, he used the excuse of reporting work and went to a secluded corner to report to Qi Tong Wei and the others.
It was not convenient to discuss details over the phone, so they took advantage of the night and went to the Shanshui Villa to discuss their counterstrategies.
"...That's the situation! At present, the workers at the Dafeng Factory have discovered that the mortgage procedure is problematic and have decided to resist. President Chen, you must do your work well!"
As soon as Ding Yi Zhen finished speaking, Chen Qing Quan panicked because the initial procedures did have loopholes.
If no one investigated it, everything would be fine.
But if they investigated thoroughly, they would be exposed in a flash!
Seeing his reaction, Qi Tong Wei asked, "Is there something that might go wrong?"
Chen Qing Quan glanced at Gao Xiao Qin and said, "It's the authorization procedure for the employee stock ownership plan. It's a forgery, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny!"
Qi Tong Wei immediately understood that they had not done their job properly and were now about to be exposed.
If Chen Qing Quan was exposed, others might be in trouble too!
After thinking for a while, he said, "Can we cover this up?"
Chen Qing Quan said with a mournful expression, "Unless all the files and electronic records are gone!"
Qi Tong Wei nodded, "Alright, I'll arrange it. Just cooperate."
"Yes, Commissioner Qi!"
Qi Tong Wei said fiercely, "It's not just the court that's a problem now, but also Cai Chenggong! Cai Chenggong has been arrested in Beijing and will be escorted back to Jingzhou in two days. Can we guarantee that he won't speak?"
Now even Ding Yi Zhen was anxious. He said quickly, "Commissioner Qi, this matter must be controlled. We can't let him talk randomly!"
Qi Tong Wei nodded, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and am thinking of ways. But this matter ultimately stems from that Sun Liancheng from your Guangming District. What do you think we should do?"
Ding Yi Zhen persuaded, "Commissioner Qi, Sun Liancheng isn't an ordinary person. He's the younger brother of the Feiyang Group chairman! And the Feiyang Group has Zhou Shan He, the Secretary of the Hu Xi Provincial Committee, as a backer. We can't use force."
"I know, but his existence poses a serious threat to us. We must take him down!"
Chen Qing Quan said, "In that case, why bother? Let's find an excuse to report him, take him down first, and then what can he do after we solve the Dafeng Factory issue?"
Qi Tong Wei nodded, "Alright, let Xiao Gang Yu investigate him... don't expect to find anything. It's enough to keep him away for a while."
Ding Yi Zhen echoed, "I'll put in some effort in the city and the district, cooperate with you, and at least get his work suspended!"
Qi Tong Wei said, "There's also the issue of Cai Chenggong. Mayor Ding, what do you think we should do?"
Ding Yi Zhen said with a bit of fear, "I think we should ask Commissioner Qi to control him for now and not hand him over to the city bureau. Otherwise, Zhao Dong Lai might not be cooperative."
Qi Tong Wei thought for a moment and said, "Alright! I'll find someone to intercept Qi Tong Wei, and we'll hold him for a while. During this time, Mayor Ding, you and Ms. Gao will solve the Dafeng Factory problem. Don't leave any loose ends!"
"That's great! Commissioner Qi, I'll follow your instructions!"
"It's not my instructions, it's about us uniting closely and overcoming difficulties together."
"Yes, yes, we must work together and make our business bigger and stronger!"
Gao Xiao Qin suddenly said, "We can remove that clever Sun Liancheng, but what about the shareholder workers at the Dafeng Factory?"
Ding Yi Zhen also frowned and said, "Yes, the city committee has organized funds to pay the resettlement fees, but what if those workers still don't accept it?"
Qi Tong Wei said, "Actually, this matter is easy to handle, but also not so easy!"
Chen Qing Quan quickly asked in a servile manner, "Commissioner Qi, do you have a plan?"
Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to make the decision.
