Chapter 42 Chen Yanshi's Fierce Attack
Xia Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.
interesting.
Chen Yanshi, that old fellow, has never mentioned the issue of liquid terms.
Now, let's bring it up.
It's meant to be used as a trump card!
Seeing that Xia Qing remained silent, Chen Yanshi felt even more certain that his plan was working.
As the former executive deputy chief prosecutor, although he had a strong desire for official position, he was never careless about policies and regulations.
He noticed the issue of the invalidity of the liquidation clause early on.
However, the purpose of keeping things hidden is to wait for the crucial moment and then unleash a decisive move to defeat the enemy.
As long as this issue is not let go, the pledge of shares to Shanshui Group will be invalid, and Shanshui Group will be unable to dismantle Dafeng Factory.
At this point, what should Shanshui Group do if it wants to proceed with the Guangming Peak project according to the contract?
spend money!
Spend more money on mediation.
Even if the compensation cannot be based on a value of one billion, it is still far beyond forty-five million.
Now, let's see how Xia Qing responds.
Thinking of this, Chen Yanshi said with even more pride:
"Minister Xia, tell me, is the provision that clauses regarding the invalidity of liquid drugs written into the law?"
Xia Qing answered without hesitation:
"That is indeed true."
"In that case, the equity pledge resulting from Dafeng Factory's inability to repay the bridge loan to Shanshui Group is invalid." Chen Yanshi said smugly, hands on his hips and head held high.
"The equity can only be auctioned off by the court, and the proceeds will be used to repay the debt. Furthermore, I want to emphasize that the portion of the bridge loan that constitutes usury is not protected by law, so only the principal owed to Shanshui Group needs to be repaid, which is 50 million!"
Chen Yanshi's clear and logical words caused a stir in the meeting room!
The workers spontaneously gave Chen Yanshi a thumbs up.
Sun Liancheng gasped, not expecting Chen Yanshi to suddenly launch an attack at this moment.
At this rate, when will the Dafeng Factory be demolished? When will the Guangmingfeng project be implemented?
The other officials from Guangming District also discussed the matter, feeling that it was not easy to handle.
Although Gao Xiaoqin still sat upright and elegantly, her constant fiddling with her earrings betrayed her inner panic.
The original intention of having Chen Qingquan make a quick judgment through simplified procedures was to avoid the issue of the invalidity of the forfeiture clause and to handle the matter discreetly.
Gao Xiaoqin was well aware of the loopholes in it.
Now that Chen Yanshi has brought this matter to the forefront, he is giving the Shanshui Group a warning.
This problem is beyond negotiation; if we were to force it, it would likely cost a huge amount of money.
This is a bit tricky.
Gao Xiaoqin looked at Xia Qing.
To everyone's surprise, Xia Qing remained completely unaffected and continued to handle the situation with ease.
Gao Xiaoqin couldn't help but be curious.
What other tricks does this organization minister have up his sleeve?
After Chen Yanshi finished speaking, Xia Qing said:
"Mr. Chen, no matter what objections you raise, the court's judgment from back then has already taken effect, and multiple reviews have yielded reasonable results. Raising the issue of the forfeiture clause now is simply unsolvable."
"That has nothing to do with the workers. If there are irregularities in the judgment, then it cannot be accepted." Chen Yanshi said with an air of "what can you do about it?"
Xia Qing sneered:
"In that case, everything will have to start from scratch."
Chen Yanshi naturally knew that he couldn't start from scratch.
This is, after all, a key project of the province, and I am a retired senior official from the province.
It's because of a few words I said here that I ruined a provincial project.
Sha Ruijin and his group wished they could eat themselves alive.
All I wanted was a good reputation.
On matters of principle, there can be no slightest deviation.
It's best to stop when you've reached a certain point.
Moreover, the objective has been achieved. Since the issue of liquidated damages has been brought to the forefront, the Shanshui Group does not dare to be too forceful.
The initiative is now in Dafeng Factory's hands!
Chen Yanshi was extremely pleased with himself, but feigned magnanimity and said earnestly:
"That being said, I, the old man, know that the Guangmingfeng project is of paramount importance. Therefore, we can accept the original judgment and leave the equity to its owners! Our workers are all very understanding and righteous!"
Xia Qing was certain that the old man wasn't being kind, so she deliberately asked:
"What are the conditions?"
Chen Yanshi clicked his tongue, thinking that Xia Qingzhen was really shrewd, and then said:
"Just compensate the workers based on the equity's value of one billion yuan."
As soon as Chen Yanshi said this, the workers present immediately burst into a gasp.
So that's what Old Chen was after!
At first, the workers were afraid to start from scratch. If they did, not only would the factory go out of business, but they would also lose their livelihood and their compensation.
This is certainly not what the workers want to see.
Little did anyone know, Chen Yanshi's purpose in saying all this was to fight for greater benefits for the workers!
What a visionary and good cadre who always thinks of the people!
The workers burst into applause, and Chen Yanshi, immersed in the applause, felt extremely pleased.
Now, his reputation as a good cadre who serves the people can be truly confirmed!
Chen Yanshi was overjoyed, his gaze never leaving Xia Qing and the others on the stage, his face beaming with pride.
Looking at the embarrassed expressions on the faces of Sun Liancheng, Gao Xiaoqin, and the other cadres, Chen Yanshi felt even more smug.
Ginger is still old and spicy.
You young people should learn more from the veteran cadres!
Xia Qing said calmly:
"If we really go by equity, Tsai Cheng-cheng has 600 million, while the employees only have 400 million."
Chen Yanshi was taken aback, then flew into a rage.
Xia Qing is already at her wit's end, yet she's still being stubborn!
Chen Yanshi felt that this was just like playing chess with retired old men on a regular basis.
The opponent was clearly checkmated, but still struggled desperately.
Ignorant! Foolish!
"Four hundred million it is! That's more than forty-five million, isn't it? What do you think, Mr. Gao?"
Enraged, Chen Yanshi roared.
Gao Xiaoqin frowned slightly.
How could they possibly invest 400 million yuan in resettlement fees?
Will there be any money needed for subsequent demolition, construction, and other expenses?
Are you not going to do business anymore?
However, Gao Xiaoqin could not directly refute Chen Yanshi, because the issue of liquidated damages clauses was indeed the Achilles' heel of the equity issue.
She was afraid that Chen Yanshi would actually flip the table, and then everyone would be in trouble.
So Gao Xiaoqin could only vent her anger on Sun Liancheng, while giving a pointed, cold snort:
"District Chief Sun, when we signed the contract with your Guangming District, it didn't mention a resettlement fee of 400 million yuan! If that's really the case, I'll announce on the spot that Shanshui Group is withdrawing from the Guangming Peak project and will no longer participate in any investments in your district!"
"I, this..." Sun Liancheng was embarrassed by Gao Xiaoqin's words, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Seeing this, Chen Yanshi became even more smug.
Unexpectedly, the other side started fighting amongst themselves!
Things are much easier now!
He could almost see four hundred million beckoning to him!
At this moment, Xia Qing remained calm and composed.
He toyed with the fountain pen in his hand, exuding an air of complete control.
Chen Yanshi thought to himself, "This kid is still putting on airs."
Watch me shut down your escape route.
This can be considered revenge for Xia Qing's public rebuke of him last time!
Thinking of this, Chen Yanshi said sarcastically:
"Minister Xia, the Dafeng Factory issue is so complicated. You're just the organization minister; you shouldn't get involved. Why don't you focus on your cadre work?"
