He looked around, found a foreman among the workers, and asked, "Your boss ran away, so how have you managed to survive all this time?"
The leader said, "That bastard ran away, why should we care about him? We'll just take all the machinery and materials from the construction site and sell them to pay off our debts! That old bastard owes us all two whole months' wages!"
"Yes, yes! We'll take all the machinery and materials from this project and sell them to pay off the debt!"
Lei Tingjun turned around and glanced at the construction site across the street.
He knew about this project; it was a commercial and residential development built by a Fujian businessman who won a bid for land in the development zone from the government.
Now, he doesn't have enough money to support the next phase of the project. Some buildings haven't even started construction yet; some have only just begun laying the foundations, and some are only half-built and haven't even been poured yet.
Surrounding this development zone are several state-owned factories in Pingdong City.
They're all light industry factories: textile mills, toy factories, and some sock factories, yarn factories, and so on.
Because there are many factories of all sizes, there are also many workers in this area. Therefore, although this area is located in the western district of Pingdong City, it has been designated by the municipal government as a key location for the development of the new district.
Lei Tingjun looked at the project that had been forced to be abandoned and suddenly fell into deep thought.
He turned to the leader of the workers and said, “Selling equipment can only solve the immediate problem, but it won’t solve the long-term problem. This project can’t continue like this. First, calm everyone down and make sure they don’t act impulsively. I’ll go ask around about this matter; perhaps there’s still a chance for a turnaround.”
Among the workers, someone asked, "Who are you? Why are you so arrogant!"
The leader shouted, "This is Brother Lei, the head of the Thunder Army's transport team. He's also the brick transporter for our project. He was also harmed by that Fujian bastard."
Turning to Lei Tingjun, the leader said, "With Brother Lei standing up for us, we believe we can definitely resolve this!"
A stir immediately arose among the workers. The name Lei Tingjun, while not exactly a household name, was certainly familiar to many.
Those who have heard about the previous conflict between the three building materials transportation teams know that a very powerful boss named Lei has come to Pingdong City, and even the two veteran transportation teams don't dare to mess with him.
At that moment, everyone looked at Lei Tingjun with a mixture of awe and anticipation.
We hope he can bring about a turning point in the situation.
Lei Tingjun nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Have you checked the Fujian boss's finance office? Did he take the approval documents and tender documents for this project with him?"
"That bastard is ruthless; he took all the important documents with him."
“We originally intended to use government documents to sue him, but he took everything with him.”
Lei Tingjun frowned and said, "Okay, I understand the situation. I will go to the municipal government tomorrow. Don't cause trouble for now. We'll talk when I get back."
After leaving the West City development project, A-Qiang asked Lei Tingjun, "Brother Lei, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"
Lei Tingjun lit another cigarette and put it in his mouth. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "It's both a crisis and an opportunity. Just because the Fujianese abandoned this project doesn't mean we can't take it over and continue it."
Ah Qiang stared in shock, his eyes wide: "Brother Lei, you mean you want to take over this abandoned project and continue it?"
Lei Tingjun's eyes were deep and dark. "Yes, only in this way can we minimize the losses and turn the tide."
Lei Tingjun's decisiveness and boldness were demonstrated in those few short minutes.
