Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Workers, shareholders.

Xia Qing pondered a way to break the deadlock.

He slowly walked back to his office, still thinking about it along the way.

We were met with a thunderstorm.

Lei Yu excitedly said to Xia Qing:

"Congratulations, Minister! Your new cadre evaluation method has been implemented in six provinces, and the feedback has been excellent!"

As Lei Yu spoke, he opened the newly acquired "Organizational Work Communications" and showed two pages to Xia Qing, exclaiming in surprise:

"Especially your suggestion of conducting multiple assessments in segments is highly practical!"

Xia Qing smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Suddenly, something occurred to me.

Segmented!

Yes, when you encounter complex problems, you can solve them in stages.

The same goes for Dafeng Factory.

Xia Qing's mind suddenly clicked, and he excitedly grasped Lei Yu's hand, saying:

"Thank you, thank you!"

After saying that, he quickened his pace and ran back to his office.

Lei Yu was left standing there, stunned.

I only praised the minister a couple of times, why is there such a big reaction?

Xia Qing returned to her office and closed the door.

Next, I called the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and other departments.

I learned about it very quickly.

Dafeng Factory has undergone restructuring from a state-owned enterprise to employee stock ownership, and this continues to this day.

Currently, Dafeng Factory has 1365 employees and 165 shareholders.

Cai Chenggong holds 60% of the shares, while 165 other shareholders hold 40%.

Upon receiving this result, Xia Qing's brows gradually relaxed.

That makes things easier.

The remaining 1200 people are not shareholders.

In other words, they are just ordinary employees, and the equity pledge of Dafeng Factory has nothing to do with them.

The Shanshui Group wants the land for the Dafeng Factory, and that's none of their business.

As long as the resettlement fee is paid according to the standard, that's sufficient.

Xia Qing obtained the list of shareholders and workers, and then called Gao Xiaoqin.

Soon, Gao Xiaoqin arrived at Xia Qing's office.

Gao Xiaoqin was also somewhat puzzled by Xia Qing's sudden summons.

However, due to Minister Xia's extraordinary methods, and Qi Tongwei's special instructions,

Gao Xiaoqin obediently came over.

Upon meeting, Xia Qing immediately handed Gao Xiaoqin a list for her to review.

Gao Xiaoqin was initially surprised, but upon closer inspection, she understood Xia Qing's plan more clearly.

Xia Qing said directly:

"These 1200 people are workers at Dafeng Factory, not shareholders. Go back and calculate how much resettlement compensation is needed to accommodate them, and make sure it is paid in full according to policy. The day after tomorrow at 9 a.m., bring the relevant data and plan to Dafeng Factory to participate in a new round of symposium."

"In addition, you need to keep in touch with Guangming District regarding worker training and re-employment, and see how they are arranging it."

Gao Xiaoqin was taken aback; it was exactly what she had thought.

She knew that Xia Qing's approach was correct.

Ordinary workers wouldn't think of getting involved in the equity dispute of Dafeng Factory.

Or rather, they don't even have the right to get involved.

For them, as long as the resettlement fee is paid in time, plus some policy support, they are happy to take the money and leave Dafeng Factory.

This led to a dispute between Shanshui Group and its shareholders.

However, Xia Qing solved a major social problem and can gain considerable social recognition.

Even the Shanshui Group, which paid the resettlement fees, gained a positive corporate image as a result.

It can be described as a win-win situation.

Having thought all this through, Gao Xiaoqin readily gave her assurance:

"Please rest assured, Minister Xia, I will arrive on time the day after tomorrow, and I will bring sufficient funds."

Xia Qing said with satisfaction:

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Gao."

After Gao Xiaoqin left, Xia Qing also leaned back in her chair.

The next round of symposium the day after tomorrow is going to be quite a show!

……

The appointed day arrived quickly.

Xia Qing led Sun Liancheng and other relevant personnel to the symposium venue at Dafeng Factory.

As soon as Xia Qing entered, she sensed a different atmosphere.

Chen Yanshi sat at the very front of the workers, ready for anything.

The shareholders, led by Zheng Xipo, glared angrily.

The expressions of the other workers who were able to attend were also quite subtle.

His expression softened only when he saw the five bureau chiefs from the Guangming District.

Xia Qing ignored all of that and, after sitting down, got straight to the point:

"Thank you all for being willing to hold this new round of discussions with us. Today, I have specially invited Mr. Gao from Shanshui Group to attend, so that we can communicate more directly."

After speaking, Gao Xiaoqin walked in leisurely from outside, nodded to Xia Qing, and sat down next to Xia Qing.

But the workers' reactions changed from the moment Gao Xiaoqin entered.

They all glared angrily.

It seems that Gao Xiaoqin is a man-eating demon.

Chen Yanshi, sitting at the very front, was even more disdainful, not even glancing at Gao Xiaoqin.

Xia Qing gave Sun Liancheng a wink, and the latter immediately spoke up:

"Gentlemen, I want to ask again, has your attitude changed? Is 45 million in resettlement compensation acceptable?"

Before the workers could speak.

Zheng Xipo immediately took the lead and shouted:

"Forty-five million? Are you trying to fob us off like beggars? Our shares are worth a billion! Either pay us according to the current market price, or give our shares back to us!"

As soon as Zheng Xipo finished speaking, several others followed suit and roared together.

Xia Qing reviewed the shareholder information and discovered that the people who followed Zheng Xipo into battle were exactly the same as the shareholders in the photo.

It seems that these shareholders are at the forefront.

Xia Qingqing cleared her throat and frowned as she said:

"Chairman Zheng, we must act in accordance with laws and regulations. The equity pledge made back then is protected by law; how can we just return it as we please? As for compensation based on a value of one billion, that's utter nonsense. Compensation should be based on the value of the pledge; there's no reason to arbitrarily raise the price."

Zheng Xipo also did his homework and said:

"Minister Xia, when you communicated with us before, you said everything was negotiable. Why did you change your mind at today's meeting?"

"It's negotiable, of course, based on Party discipline and national laws. Everything is negotiable." Xia Qing smiled, then suddenly changed the subject, her tone sharp:

"If you were going to break the law, you wouldn't dare take that much money, right, Chairman Zheng?"

Zheng Xipo was momentarily speechless, but still managed to find a direction to attack:

"Cai Chenggong mortgaged the shares without the approval of the shareholders' meeting, which is illegal!"

"Oh? The shareholders' meeting didn't approve it?" Xia Qing was prepared and was just waiting for someone to bring this up, so she waved to Gao Xiaoqin.

Gao Xiaoqin understood immediately and handed over a document with both hands. Xia Qing took it, waved it at the workers below, and said with a mischievous smile:

"This is the share pledge document that Cai Chenggong signed back then. But I see a few other names on it. It looks like Zheng, west, and Po? Chairman Zheng, what's going on here?"

Zheng Xipo turned pale with fright, and the other workers all looked at him, their faces full of disbelief.

"It's fake! You all forged it together!"

How could Zheng Xipo possibly admit it? He immediately turned the tables and accused Zheng of the crime.

Little did Xia Qing know, this was exactly what he had anticipated.

Xia Qing then produced another document from a police forensic report and said:

"This is the appraisal result from the Public Security Bureau, proving that this material is genuine, the signature is within the specified period, and there are no traces of forgery or alteration."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xipo collapsed into his seat.

The other workers anxiously questioned Zheng Xipo why he had to sign the document.

Zheng Xipo could only weakly say:

"Cai Chenggong said that as long as the shareholders' meeting signs off, and his coal mine investment makes money, he will give us a share of the profits..."

The workers' expressions shifted from shock to disappointment, and then to anger!

"Zheng Xipo, you damned bastard!"

"What's the point of your shareholders' meeting?!"

"You bastard, so you're one of those ruthless bastards too!"

The workers started cursing at each other, and Zheng Xipo could only weep bitterly.

He thought that since the signature from back then could not be found, he could get away with it.

Unexpectedly, the Shanshui Group was actually unearthed.

It's written in black and white, there's no denying it.

Both Cai Chenggong himself and the shareholders' meeting approved the plan for him to pledge his shares.

We're all accomplices!

Xia Qing remained silent, observing the situation before her, and then said:

Therefore, the share pledge was signed by the shareholders' meeting and is valid.

Just then, Chen Yanshi slowly spoke:

"The pledge is valid, but that doesn't mean the court's judgment is valid. Minister Xia, you've deliberately avoided a crucial issue."

Xia Qing narrowed her eyes slightly and said:

"I would like to hear the details."

Chen Yanshi said smugly:

"Based on the provision that forfeiture clauses are invalid, Dafeng Factory was unable to repay its debts, so the court awarded the pledged shares to Shanshui Group. This judgment itself is illegal!"

"If the money cannot be repaid, the only option is to auction off the shares to repay the debt, rather than directly using the shares to offset the debt."

"This matter is the Achilles' heel of the Shanshui Group!"
