Chapter 153 Forced to Resign
Although he was satisfied, Roton immediately called Pirando and conveyed Columbia's purpose.
After listening to this, Pirandu pondered for a moment and said, "Their conditions are indeed very good, but there is no rush. We have to wait until the two sides fight out a result."
"Yes, I think so too," said Roton.
"As for keeping it secret?" Pirando was silent.
"Chief, this is not necessary. I think it would be better if Freese knew about it," said Roton.
Although Columbia wanted Rotun to keep it a secret, Rotun would definitely act from the perspective of his own interests.
"Yes, letting Freese know can make the fight between the two sides more intense." Pirando laughed, "But we can't let Freese and the others know about this matter so directly. Besides, they asked you for help and asked you to keep it a secret. It would be bad to betray them all of a sudden."
"Chief, I don't care about that." Rawdon said with a smile.
"It's not a matter of whether you care or not. I'll handle this matter. I'll decide whether to disclose this to Freese depending on the negotiation situation. This is a good reason to lower the price." Pirando said, "But even if I disclose it, it won't be immediately. After a while, even if Freese and the others know about it, Pradhan and the others can't blame you. After all, after a long time, they may have leaked the news themselves."
"Thank you, Chief." Luoton thanked.
He knew that Pirando had thought about him.
Of course, if it is really necessary during the negotiation process, Pirando will definitely reveal the matter to Freese immediately to put pressure on them.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, time is on Pirando and his team's side, so they are not in a hurry.
If you want to talk, then talk. Let's just drag it out like this.
After all, the income from the coal mine is in Mabon. If the deal fails, Freese and his team won’t get a penny.
The coal mines were very profitable. When Rajiti was in control, the annual profit could reach tens of billions of rupees.
You know, even according to the previous dividends, Fries and his team could get dividends of more than 10 billion rupees.
Freese certainly doesn't have that much alone, and he has to share it with others, but he alone has an income of at least several hundred million per year.
In the long run, this can be a continuous source of wealth.
So the ones who are anxious are Freese and his team, because every day of delay means a huge loss.
It was precisely because the coal mine was so profitable that Lagiti originally got much more than Friis, so how could he give up so easily? So he kept struggling and resisting, such as providing various military weapons and so on.
It was not until Rajiti lost his position as Minister of Finance and lost his power as a minister that he gave up this idea. Otherwise, he would definitely fight his opponent to the end.
"Roden, in a while, a group of us will go to Carbon to negotiate with them," Pirandu said, "When the time comes, you will go too."
"With Pradhan?" Rawdon asked.
"No, it's still the Freese group. They're negotiating back and forth. They're not afraid of delays." Pirando said with a smile, "You go with them. Take a few police officers with you to nominally be responsible for security. If possible, you can have real contact with Pradhan's people in private."
"I see." said Rawdon.
"I will remember all your contributions," Pirando said, "and I won't let you down by the end of the year."
"Chief, this is what I should do." Roton said immediately.
He knew that the achievement Pirando was talking about was not one made by the police, but one made in the coal mine.
In other words, when the coal mine distributes dividends to itself, it will probably increase the amount.
Of course he had no objection to this. Who would complain about having too much money?
And he knew very well that as long as Pirando was still in this position, he would always have these benefits.
In addition, as your status and position improve, the dividends will continue to increase.
"What? Wes wants to prepare for the Bundesliga exam?" Rowton received a call from Lisa.
After hearing her words, Luo Dun was a little surprised that it was her brother who was preparing for the civil service examination in Mabang this year.
"Yes, he has changed a lot since the last incident. I think the national exam will be held at the end of the year, and there is still a lot of time. If he has any questions, I think you can guide him." Lisa said, "Of course, without affecting your preparation for the exam."
"The fact that he has this ambition shows that he is quite ambitious. Don't worry, I can give him some guidance on reviewing and preparation," said Roton with a smile.
This guy Wes is actually not stupid, he just learned bad things from following Raj and his gang.
Raj's family fell, and he was taught a lesson at the police station.
Also because of himself, Weiss turned over a new leaf.
Although Luoton himself had not experienced the national exam, Dai Wu had.
At that time, Dai Wu passed the exam and became a member of the court system.
Moreover, it had only been a few years since Dai Wu took the exam, so his experience in preparing for the exam was very worthy of reference.
As for the rest, I am now preparing for the national civil service examination, so I can certainly give Weiss some advice.
After all, the state exam is much easier than the national exam.
A lot of content in the state examination is based on the state itself, such as humanities, geography, customs and habits, etc., and the scope will be much smaller.
Luoton called his parents again, and they told him that they would return to their hometown in about a month.
Luoton reminded them to be careful.
There is not much else to say.
His parents will definitely bring back some special products from Mumbai. After all, Mumbai is a big city, and the things here must be high-end and rare when brought to the rural areas of Kupang.
Ten days after Roden and Fiya last spoke, a damning report on the new Maharashtra Chief Minister, Ashok Chavan, was broadcast on All India Television.
It was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, which threw the Malaysian government into chaos.
Not only Mabang, but people all over the country saw it at once.
This was a major event involving hundreds of billions of rupees, and immediately countless people began to pay attention.
All politicians, whether from Ashok's side or the opposition, have their own thoughts.
The Congress Party wants to put out the fire, and of course there are also people who want Ashok to be in trouble. If Ashok is in trouble, then the rest of them will have the opportunity to replace him and become the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
Even if some people cannot reach the position of Chief Minister, with the change of Chief Minister, many positions above will move around, so they may be able to move up a level.
Every step forward represents a huge increase in power. Who wouldn't be jealous?
This kind of struggle is everywhere, and the competition within the Congress Party is equally fierce. Who wouldn't want such a prominent position as Chief Minister?
It’s just that Ashok had won before.
But it doesn’t mean that other failed competitors are weak.
If the competition within the Congress Party is considered obscure, then the movements of the opposition parties are more direct and they are ready to attack.
How could such a good opportunity be missed? Luo Dun naturally paid attention to the news. After the All India Television broadcast it, many other media also began to report on it.
In particular, the media controlled by the People's Party and the opposition are at full fire.
This puts the Congress Party in a very passive position.
Ashok accepted media interviews at the first opportunity, saying that these were all false and that the accusations were slanders against him by his political opponents. He spoke with tears in his eyes and said that his acting skills were really first-rate and it would be a waste for him not to be an actor.
However, these politicians are shameless and even more exaggerated than actors. Many things they do are obviously false, but they still act them out and tell them to you.
But this interview was soon refuted. As other media got involved, more evidence was revealed, making Ashok's previous denial a joke.
Some people started marching, demanding Ashok's resignation and investigation.
This matter is no longer a simple corruption issue, but has risen to the level of a struggle between political parties.
Since the country just had a general election, everyone is very sensitive about this matter.
Especially since the ruling party is the Congress, everyone's eyes are on how Prime Minister Manmohan Singh handles this matter.
Ashok is not just a chief minister, he is also a member of their Congress party.
Is Manmohan trying to protect or shield his shortcomings?
Or give up?
"Something's wrong." Roton felt a little worried.
Various media reported the incident in full swing, but the All India Television, which was the first to report the news, basically did not report much in the following period.
Normally, such news reports would have follow-up. Even if not, they would have to be replayed for several days at least.
But after this news was reported that day, it disappeared without a trace.
"Director, are you okay?" Roton called Fia and asked.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The other party did not speak immediately and remained silent for a while.
This made Luoton feel depressed. As expected, the situation was not good.
"Has this report caused you a lot of trouble?" Rawdon asked again.
"I'm going to quit in two days," said Fia.
For a moment, Roden couldn't hear the emotion in Fia's tone, it was very calm.
But this calmness is a bit too much, which is abnormal.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Rawdon apologized.
They all knew that reporting this matter was fraught with risks.
Even someone with a background like Fia cannot bear the consequences and is now forced to resign.
"It has nothing to do with you." Feiya smiled, "Anyway, I don't regret it. Just resign. The news has already been reported. There are so many news media reporting on it now. It's impossible for the government to control all the media."
After all, many of these media are controlled by opposing political parties. They will resist some of the government's controls and appear more radical.
After listening to Fia's narration, Roton understood how Fia reported the story.
She did not report the matter to her superiors, but instead used her authority to force the news into the day's report, which made the TV station's leaders unaware of it.
By the time the news was reported, it was already too late.
But Fia also committed a big taboo.
She has a background, and generally speaking, no matter what she does, her superiors won't do anything to her.
But this time the federal central government was furious, and even the prime minister was very dissatisfied with the TV station.
This forced the leadership of All India Television to take disciplinary measures.
So, it was impossible for Fiya to stay at All India Television any longer.
A few days later, Rawdon got the news that Fia had resigned.
The reason given by the TV station was that Fia had violated regulations during her tenure, which had a very bad impact on the TV station, so she resigned.
Anything like illegal operation is just an excuse made by the TV station.
This news was not widely spread, after all, it was an internal matter of the TV station.
Moreover, although Fia is a director, she is not a real senior executive of the TV station, so generally no one would pay attention to her resignation.
Because everyone's attention is now on the Ashok case, few people know about Fia, the whistleblower of the incident.
They only know that this was revealed by All India Television.
This made Luoton very dissatisfied, and he couldn't just let it go.
Fia was forced to resign so quietly, there must be an explanation.
He thought about it and found Lisa's mother, Livana.
Roden felt that he had to take a great deal of responsibility for Fia's forced resignation.
Although Fia said it was nothing, Roton still felt uncomfortable.
So he had to do something.
After Roton told Livana about his plan, Livana immediately contacted some people from the People's Party.
No matter how you look at it, she is now the chairperson of the Civilian Party and is considered an ally of the People's Party.
No matter how small an ally is, it is still an ally.
As a big party like the People's Party, it still shows an attitude of providing various support and help to its small party allies.
And this time, it is not to help the Civilian Party. For their People's Party, that is the biggest benefit.
Soon, the People's Party's media began reporting that Fia had been forced to resign.
In the report, Fia's entire resume during this period was presented to everyone.
For example, the news about Harag Township in Pune District, coal mines and so on, these were big news.
They were all revealed under Fia's responsibility.
Especially Ashok's corrupt behavior in the 'Adarsh Housing Project', it was Fiya who withstood the pressure from the TV station's leaders and risked her life to break the news.
Such a person can be called a heroine, the bravest person in the news media industry. She dares to speak out for justice and is truly not afraid of power.
With these reports coming out, Fiya Mishra's name will soon be known to people across the country.
They learned about such a heroine who was not afraid of power.
The media of these opposition parties not only targeted the Congress Party, but also directed their fire directly at the All India Television.
They cursed All India Television as a running dog of the government, saying that it had lost its independence as a news media and the quality of speaking for the people fairly and impartially.
Now it has become a mouthpiece for the corrupt government, suppressing all just voices.
Forcing an upright heroine like Fiya to resign is a disgrace to All India Television and the national news media.
Many news media have publicly expressed their desire to invite Fiya Mishra to be the leader of their TV stations or newspapers.
Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, such media reports have added fuel to the fire of this incident.
Now the All India Television and the government have been put on the fire and it is very uncomfortable to be roasted.
As I said, the government can control some state-owned media news, but it is difficult for them to control the opposition media.
After all, the Congress Party no longer has the absolute control it once had.
They are no longer the only dominant party. Although they still have the most seats among single parties, the seats are not enough to form a government alone. They can only join forces with other parties to become the ruling party, and compromises must be made in many cases.
