Chapter 332 Still dares to ask for compensation? Huo Siteng makes an example of him!
The piercing alarm blared through the night.
The flashing police lights seemed to turn the night sky red and blue.
As soon as Huo Siteng, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, stopped his car, several officials rushed forward.
Although everyone walked quickly, there was no rushing or chaos.
They quickly approached Huo Siteng, following a strict order of rank.
At this moment, power has become tangible.
However, Huo Siteng did not enjoy it at all.
After getting out of the car, his face darkened, and he glanced at everyone.
Finally, his gaze fell upon Tao Jinchu, the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.
Have all the residents been evacuated?
Tao Jinchu quickly replied, "Most of them have already been evacuated and relocated. However, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I have also arranged for police to conduct a house-by-house search of the surrounding buildings to ensure that no one is missed."
"In addition, I have arranged for Guangming District to dispatch several small fire trucks, which are ready to spray water on Wang Wenge's furniture factory at any time, so that he will never have the opportunity to ignite the wood and paint and create a large fire."
Hearing Tao Jinchu say this, Huo Siteng felt much more at ease.
This urban village is not only characterized by its winding and narrow roads and densely packed, chaotic houses, but also by its large number of local residents and migrant workers and business people.
If Wang Wenge really set fire to the furniture factory, there wouldn't be enough time for effective rescue. It could easily spread like wildfire, turning the entire urban village into a sea of flames.
If that's the case, the casualties will be devastating.
Let alone whether Huo Siteng can keep his official position.
Even Zhao Lichun, the top official of Handong Province, will likely be held accountable.
That's why.
On his way there, Huo Siteng received a call from Zhao Lichun, the secretary of the Party branch.
He was instructed to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
With most of the people evacuated and relocated, a major accident with serious casualties is unlikely, so Huo Siteng is naturally less panicked.
As soon as I relaxed, I was hit by a nauseating stench.
Using the headlights as a guide, I turned my head to look to the side.
Black, foul-smelling water was flowing through the stinking ditch, which was full of garbage.
It's still winter, and there's not much rain.
It's hard to imagine that during the rainy summer, the water level would rise so dramatically.
How much garbage will be mixed in with the sewage and washed everywhere?
Interestingly...
Not far away, there is a row of hair salons and massage parlors that have turned off their lights and closed.
It's just that I had something to do today; otherwise, countless women would be dressed provocatively to solicit customers.
His sharp gaze swept over the heads of the district and township/subdistrict offices.
They all lowered their heads in shame, too ashamed to meet Huo Siteng's gaze.
Enduring the stench, Huo Siteng, accompanied by Tao Jinchu, arrived at a five-story building built by local residents not far away.
Climbing the narrow staircase to the rooftop, one can have a clear view of the furniture factory's courtyard.
Therefore, the sniper team had already been deployed here in advance.
After taking the binoculars, Huo Siteng observed them carefully.
Because of the fiberglass shingle roof, it was impossible to see what was actually inside the furniture factory, and it was unknown whether there were indeed large quantities of wood and paint buckets piled up there.
However, in the open courtyard, Wang Wenge parked a truck diagonally at the gate, blocking the only passage in and out of the furniture factory.
In the center of the courtyard was a large tin paint bucket, inside which wood was burning, emitting flames and occasionally sparks flying...
"Huo Shuji, that short man in blue overalls, white work gloves, and holding a torch is Wang Wenge."
"This man was originally a member of the security team at Dafeng Factory. After Dafeng Factory went bankrupt and was liquidated, he hired people and bought equipment to open this furniture factory through the introduction of a relative."
"The furniture factory was already operating without a license and was suspected of illegally discharging sewage and had no fire safety measures. We asked them to relocate a month ago, but they showed no signs of stopping production."
"Today we gave them an ultimatum, demanding they move out within 24 hours, but he incited more than a dozen small business owners to refuse to move unless they receive compensation."
"compensate?"
Huo Siteng turned to look at Tao Jinchu.
"Damn it! They actually have the nerve to ask for compensation?"
"Did no one tell them that operating without a license would result in a fine of more than 10,000 yuan, and that if the business volume exceeded 50,000 yuan, the fine would be more than five times but less than fifteen times the amount?"
"Didn't anyone tell them that the administrative penalties for illegally discharging sewage without obtaining a sewage discharge permit are starting at 100,000 yuan, and in serious cases, it can even lead to criminal charges?"
"Moreover, with such a chaotic production process, they certainly won't prepare fire-fighting facilities and equipment in order to save money, and it's even more impossible to pass the fire safety inspection. According to the law and regulations, they will be fined tens of thousands of yuan."
"As for the issues of not paying social security and tax evasion, that goes without saying. Small workshops and factories like these don't even have business licenses, so it's impossible for them to pay social security and taxes!"
"With so many illegal and irregular activities, not only have they not been severely punished according to the law, but they have also been given ample time to move out. They are still not satisfied and want compensation. Who gave them the courage?"
"If we follow their logic, then should we compensate those who clean up and shut down illegal enterprises, dismiss bad apples among public officials, and vacate those who have encroached on state-owned resources this year?"
“They’ve violated laws and regulations and harmed society, yet they haven’t been seriously punished and are secretly pleased with themselves. They even have the nerve to ask for compensation. If everyone is this shameless, how can we possibly complete the deepening reforms in Jingzhou?”
After angrily cursing, Huo Siteng turned around and looked at the group of people standing to his side and behind him.
"Feng Shengcai!!"
That shout.
This immediately made Feng Shengcai, the deputy mayor of Jingzhou and secretary of the Guangming District, feel a chill run down his spine.
He quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Huo Shuji, please give your instructions."
Huo Siteng was about to curse.
But then he thought of Feng Shengcai as one of his own.
When Dafeng Factory went bankrupt and was liquidated, Kong Zhiyong's Jingzhou Hongli Real Estate Company was able to successfully bid for the land and even demolish the last few workers' dormitories by blasting this morning...
Behind all of this, Feng Shengcai's help and efforts were indispensable; otherwise, the project would not have progressed so smoothly.
Even though he was the top leader of the Bright District, he was far too weak and incompetent.
If he had been diligent and hardworking enough, how could this large urban village have remained a haven of filth and corruption for so long?
But after all, they are our own people who have made contributions!
So even though the words of abuse were on the tip of his tongue, Huo Siteng swallowed them back.
Which township does this place belong to?
"Guangmingfeng Town".
"Where is the town's leadership team?"
“I asked them to do the persuasion work.”
"So who's trying to persuade Wang Wenge now?"
"Jin Fugui, and Cheng Du, the director of our Guangming District Public Security Bureau."
Upon hearing Cheng Du's name, Huo Siteng couldn't help but frown slightly.
The previous campaign to transform the work style at the grassroots level demonstrated a remarkable level of effectiveness in this regard.
If he hadn't been so impartial, his precious son wouldn't have ended up in jail for the little mistake he made while drunk.
of course.
The reason why Cheng Du dared to be so tough was obviously because he had someone backing him up.
As for who it is...
Huo Siteng glanced at Tao Jinchu subconsciously.
He had known for a long time that Tao Jinchu was a man of Zhao Lichun, the provincial party secretary.
It is said that back then, Zhao Lichun led his men to travel all over the cities, counties and towns of Handong in order to abolish the agricultural tax.
In those years, travel was difficult and inconvenient, and encounters with highway robbers were common, and Zhao Lichun and his group were no exception.
At that time, Tao Jinchu was just a low-ranking police officer. He was not only not qualified to carry a gun, but it was very likely that he would only ever become a small station chief.
As fate would have it, he stumbled upon Zhao Lichun and his group who were being robbed. Although he didn't know Zhao Lichun's identity, he still bravely rushed forward.
This surge naturally led to a meteoric rise in his career.
As Zhao Lichun rose to the top position in Handong, Tao Jinchu also rose rapidly to become the director of the Public Security Bureau of Jingzhou City, the provincial capital of Handong.
It was precisely because they knew that Tao Jinchu was Zhao Lichun's man, and that Zhao Lichun was the source of the change in work style in Handong Province.
So when his son got into trouble, Huo Siteng never even considered asking Tao Jinchu for leniency. Instead, he sought help from Sun Haiping, who was then the deputy director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.
who knows……
This Sun Haiping is no pushover either.
Sun Haiping, who rose through the ranks from the grassroots, was once a renowned crime-solving expert in Handong Province and was highly regarded by Liang Qunfeng, the former secretary of the political and legal affairs department of Handong Province.
After Liang Qunfeng's death, Sun Haiping naturally lost his backer, so Huo Siteng hinted to Sun Haiping to upgrade his son's case and have the municipal bureau handle it.
He almost explicitly stated that Tao Jinchu was Zhao Lichun's man and would soon be promoted to the provincial department, at which time he would definitely support Sun Haiping's promotion to bureau chief.
As a result, Sun Haiping was like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard.
He adhered to his principles and did not comply.
Instead, they strongly supported the Guangming District Branch and followed the clues to investigate to the end.
She caused her beloved son to be convicted of multiple crimes and imprisoned.
In a fit of anger, Huo Siteng devised a plan to transfer Sun Haiping to the position of Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Jingzhou City.
This seemingly normal lateral transfer actually greatly weakened Sun Haiping's power.
As for Tao Jinchu in front of us...
Huo Siteng knew that Cheng Du could be transferred from Luzhou to Jingzhou and would soon become the director of the Guangming District Branch.
It was clearly not because Tao Jinchu appreciated Cheng Du, nor could it be because Zhao Lichun had paid attention to this insignificant person.
It is highly likely that Zhao Ruilong or Zhao Xiaohui from the Zhao family are using their father's power to install and promote their own people.
Wang Wenge, a former employee of Dafeng Factory, is now causing trouble in Guangming District.
As the district branch chief, Cheng Du should indeed be at the forefront.
With the Zhao family backing them up, Cheng Du and Tao Jinchu were indeed decisive and efficient.
It hasn't been long since the incident occurred.
A large number of police, medical and fire personnel were quickly mobilized for emergency evacuation and control.
Even snipers have been deployed.
It's estimated that Wang Wenge will really refuse to comply tonight and will insist on setting the fire.
Du Cheng really knew how to ask for permission to fire, and Tao Jinchu really dared to order the killing.
To protect the lives and property of tens of thousands of people, it is perfectly reasonable to take down a lawless and unscrupulous businessman!
Picking up his binoculars, Huo Siteng continued to observe the situation inside and outside the furniture factory.
How are the negotiations going?
"After being persuaded, all the other small business owners agreed to move out, but Wang Wenge still insisted on 500,000 yuan in compensation!"
"Five hundred thousand? He's really asking for an exorbitant amount! I'm being lenient by not fining him five hundred thousand!"
Huo Siteng put down his binoculars and glanced at his watch.
"Tell Cheng Du immediately and have him pass on the message to Wang Wenge."
"The Jingzhou Municipal Government will not provide any compensation to a small business like his that violates laws and regulations!"
