The Citibank assessment team arrived faster than expected.
Arrange for Director Liu and finance staff to receive and assist.
Xing Baohua had just arrived at the office and hadn't even had a sip of water when Director Xue knocked on the door and came in.
"Factory Manager, there's something going on at the power plant construction site that needs reporting," Director Xue said, standing in front of Xing Baohua.
"What's wrong?" Xing Baohua asked, holding a teacup.
"When the construction company from the provincial capital was preparing the foundation, they encountered a group of hooligans who blocked the truck hauling earth and wouldn't let them transport it," Director Xue said.
"Didn't you report it?" Xing Baohua asked.
"They reported it, looked at the situation, and left. They said it was a civil dispute, and they couldn't handle it. They said if we insisted on getting a result, we should go to court," Director Xue continued his report.
"Old Xue, sit down first and tell me in detail what exactly happened!" Xing Baohua took a sip of water while Director Xue sat down.
As Director Xue slowly recounted how the provincial construction company entered the power plant and began clearing the site, it was clear that...
Leveling the ground is the first step. The excavated soil on the surface needs to be cleared and leveled, and a place needs to be found to transport it away. This excavated soil will be used again when digging trenches to fill the foundation later.
But who would have thought that a group of hooligans would come these past two days? We still haven't found out exactly where they came from.
Some people pretend to set up stalls around the area, and when they see a truck hauling soil, they push their carts filled with corn kernels in front of the truck. Some of the trucks don't brake in time and crash into them.
He asked for a thousand yuan right off the bat.
The driver is incompetent! Saying they're trying to extort money is suicidal.
Just as they were about to take action, a dozen or twenty people suddenly surrounded them, shouting that they would dismantle the car if they didn't pay compensation.
The construction company was alerted, and after finding out what was going on, they realized they had encountered a local bully.
He offered them cigarettes first, then said he'd invite their boss to sit down for a drink and get to know him that evening.
People who work away from home year-round inevitably have to deal with local bullies.
But this time, it was like touching an iron plate.
They wouldn't listen to either soft or hard tactics; they simply wouldn't allow the earthwork to be transported.
Left with no other option, the police were called. After arriving and assessing the situation, they settled the matter as a civil dispute.
I don't know how the responsibility is divided.
There's no need to complain about this; it's clearly targeted.
Moreover, all the connections with superiors and subordinates have been taken care of, so no one can get help from you.
Later, those hooligans put forward a condition: they had to contract the earthwork, and apart from the materials in the plan, everything else had to be theirs.
In other words, sand, cement, and red bricks.
It's not that contracting these materials is unacceptable; as long as it's not too outrageous, it doesn't matter whose materials you buy from.
If we hire these scoundrels, they might be able to help us sort things out if anything happens.
What's infuriating is that payment must be made in cash for each delivery.
Who could stand this? Nowhere else would they do this?
The client originally asked the construction company to advance the funds to start construction, and now they want to settle the accounts? No construction company could do that, no matter what.
Report it to Party A and let them handle it! They can't handle it.
"Do you know where those hooligans came from?" Xing Baohua asked.
Director Xue also shook his head.
Xing Baohua picked up the phone and called Liu Yunliang, the head of the security department, asking him to come over.
This person has traveled with Xing Baohua and seen the world.
A little while later, Liu Yunliang knocked on the door and came in. He saw that Director Xue was also there and nodded and greeted him.
Xing Baohua also asked this person to sit down and asked Director Xue to recount the events again.
Subsequently, Xing Baohua instructed him to send people to investigate where these hooligans came from and why they dared to cause trouble in the High-tech Zone.
Liu Yunliang said he would give Xing Baohua a result as soon as possible, and then got up and left.
Xing Baohua also asked Director Xue to keep an eye on this matter and report to him whenever possible.
Liu Yunliang returned to the security department, gathered a few people, and drove off to handle the matter personally.
After all, it was a matter personally instructed by the factory director, so we not only had to take it seriously, but also had to do it efficiently.
Upon arriving at the power plant, I indeed saw a group of idle people gathered together, or rather, they were setting up stalls while maintaining social distancing.

There were more than a dozen fake stalls, some selling rice stuffing, but most were small carts filled with garbage such as dirt and half-bricks.
Some people squatted on the ground with their hands tucked in, while others tilted their heads to look inside the power plant site.
Liu Yunliang had the car pulled over and got out with his men.
"Hey! What's going on with you guys?" Liu Yunliang asked the person closest to him from the bottom of his seat.
At this moment, a person wearing a coat came out from behind, and the cotton stuffing on the sleeves was showing.
"What you do is none of my business," the man replied.
“Of course it’s my responsibility. I’m from the security department of the electronics factory. The power plant belongs to the electronics factory. Do you think it’s under my jurisdiction?” Liu Yunliang said.
“We didn’t even go into the factory! Besides, where is the power plant? Has it been built yet? We’re just strolling around on the street, setting up a small stall. Does that bother you?” The young man retorted to Liu Yunliang with a domineering attitude.
Liu Yunliang smiled slightly and said, "You've got guts." Then he turned to the driver beside him and said, "Go back and bring the militia company here."
"From now on, the power plant is designated as an important unit, and all unemployed individuals are prohibited from loitering here!" Liu Yunliang shouted.
"Stop talking nonsense! This is the middle of nowhere, how could it be an important unit? We're not idle people, we're self-employed!"
"Is he a recent release or one who slipped through the net two years ago?" he said, lifting his shirt to reveal his medals.
