The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium

"Fuck, this, this, this... why does it look like it wants to mess with me? Who is this god?"

Chapter 19: Being the "Big One" and Doing the "Second One"

In the 90s, the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems were in a state of disarray. There were many police officers who protected the underworld, but there were also many police officers who fought against the underworld. There were still many people who chose not to go along with the corrupt, but to perform their duties conscientiously and resist the evil forces.

However, as a police officer, choosing to fight against evil forces is a more difficult path (quite ironic). Not only do the police officers have to bear huge pressure and life-threatening situations, but their relatives and friends will also be threatened and intimidated by evil forces. And these police officers who fight against evil forces also frankly said: "I have the ability to fight crime, but I don't have the ability to protect my wife and children. I just want to be with my family if something happens to them."

It can be said that if the protection problem of anti-gang police officers is not solved, those gang members and "protectors" who have managed to escape legal punishment will definitely fight back. By then, not only will the individual's political life be over, the police career will come to an end, and they may also lose their own lives and the lives of their families. This is the biggest psychological burden for many anti-gang police officers at present.

Many times, in order to protect their families, the wives, children and elders of these anti-crime police officers have to leave their homes, which undoubtedly makes many ordinary people pessimistic and disappointed.

"Isn't this a cat being chased by a mouse?"

Therefore, in the 90s, "not believing in the law, not abiding by the law, and not seeking the law" was the mentality of many ordinary people. When their rights were violated, they either swallowed their anger or fought violence with violence. This is why everyone applauded when they learned that the henchmen of "Second Brother" died on the street, because they believed that this was the most correct and appropriate way to eliminate violence and protect the good..........

The death of some henchmen will certainly give the second brother a headache, and the shrinking of the industry will limit his lavish spending, but these will only damage the foundation, not his life. Just like the second brother is hiding in the bath city now, he not only has a large number of bodyguards to protect him, but also many police friends to protect him. The bath city is no longer accepting customers, so everyone here knows each other, and it is difficult to sneak in quietly, unless the other party directly attacks the building...

But that's crazy...

But when the second brother knew that he was being targeted by the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, he was already a little panicked. The second brother, who had reached his current status, had left the ranks of pure fighting and killing (although he still liked the fighting and killing lifestyle), and his main business was "human relations and worldly affairs", and the fact that the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau wanted to attack him was a "life-threatening" signal.

As a last resort, the second brother could only call the eldest brother for help......

..............

In the spacious office, the mayor, whose shirts, ties, suits, belts and leather shoes are all world-famous brands, is sitting behind a large mahogany desk. He taps his fingers lightly on the smooth surface of the desk and asks the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau:

"Can this person's case be established? You must pay attention to the impact when handling a case. He is a representative of the Municipal People's Congress and an outstanding entrepreneur..."

"I guarantee with this police uniform that this case has irrefutable evidence."

The mayor was speechless for a moment because of the city public security bureau chief's unyielding attitude to handle the case, and the meeting between the two sides ended unhappily. Since then, the public security bureau chief has not had a good day. The mayor publicly said that he was undermining the political stability of the city and "kicking away the party committee to make revolution." Resistance from the procuratorate and the court system also followed, and even the public security department was constrained. If it weren't for the fact that the city public security bureau chief had the opportunity to go to Beijing to report on his work many times, I'm afraid he would have been pulled down long ago.

As expected, some people took action against the family of the Public Security Bureau chief. Defamation and threats were everywhere. The chief's family had no choice but to move several times, and the chief's license plate number had to be adjusted at any time......

But these difficulties could not defeat him, and he did not focus too much on self-protection. If he really wanted to protect himself, he would not have needed to target the "Second Brother" who was well-known in both the black and white worlds, and even had to take on the "Big Brother" in an unfavorable situation... The director was most confused at the moment:

"Who is secretly trying to undermine the power of 'Second Brother'......"

Well, although the Universal Group is 99% suspected, as long as there is no solid evidence, it can only be suspected, not confirmed. As the director of the Public Security Bureau, he can basically confirm that all this is done by the Universal Group. He does not agree with the use of serial assassinations to eliminate violence. He is also very worried about a company that uses violence in private entering China;

On the other hand, judging from the results, the other party's behavior was helpful to their fight against crime. Under the guise of "investigating serial kidnappings and assassinations", the public security department was able to conduct an in-depth investigation into the evil forces headed by "Second Brother". When the forces of "Second Brother" were in panic, they seized the opportunity to tear open a gap and arrested a large number of people involved in the case. These usually stubborn gang members are now eager to go to jail, because they are afraid of being thrown out and then being "greeted" in the middle of the night.

In this way, the interrogation process went very smoothly, and the director got more and more "hard evidence", getting closer and closer to taking down "Second Brother". However, taking down "Second Brother" was only the first step. The next step was to use this as a breakthrough to take down "Big Brother". Compared with taking down a small figure like "Second Brother", the fight to take down "Big Brother" was more cruel and fierce...........

.....................

The director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is ready to take down the second brother legally, and the players are ready to physically wipe out the second brother and all the evil forces like the second brother. As the ancients once said: "There are thieves in the country, and the streets are full of refugees. The government's orders cannot be carried out"; "Therefore, those who govern the country must eliminate thieves." Even if the Universal Group considers it for the purpose of making money, it should also clean up the intricate evil forces and purify its own "business environment"...

Speaking of doing business, as the negotiations entered the final stage, Huanyu Group formally signed an agreement to establish a joint venture with 1500 million US dollars. This state-owned enterprise, which has won the "National Best-selling Domestic Brand Product-Golden Bridge Award" issued by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and other 4 ministries for four consecutive years, is not only well-known in the domestic market, but also exported to more than 7 countries and regions such as Europe and Southeast Asia. Most of its shares and dominance have fallen into the hands of Huanyu Group. Its fate is no longer to disappear in the long river of history, nor will it fall into the hands of the original management who "jumped from state-owned enterprise leaders to private enterprise executives." More than 40 laid-off workers saw the hope of getting a job, and 2000 families rekindled their hope for life.

Although this number of 2000 people is just a drop in the ocean in the impending wave of layoffs.

But it is a small victory at the beginning. What players gain is not just a state-owned enterprise, but a small society around the state-owned enterprise. In this society, players will have the opportunity to practice various possibilities. Such practice and construction will also be one of the main contents of the game for players in the future, and its role is no less than fighting and killing.

As the ancients once said, "When the people are prosperous, there will be no thieves; when thieves stop, there will be peace." Players who like FPS and RPG games can use physical means to eliminate evil forces; if they operate properly in this "simulation business" game, they can make the workers prosperous, eliminate the soil for the growth of evil forces, and breed new hope on this soil.

Chapter 20 Driving without proper regulations brings tears to loved ones

The second brother carefully hid in his "base camp". He had brushed shoulders with "death" several times.

One day, the second brother came to the balcony of the tallest building of the bath city to bask in the sun and get some fresh air as usual. He was about to put his hand on a certain section of the railing as usual, but suddenly, his sixth sense told him not to put the center of gravity of his body on the railing. He just put his hand on it tentatively, and as a result, the entire section of the railing fell down. If the second brother put the center of gravity of his body on it as before, he would definitely fall from the tallest building this time and would definitely die.

One day, the second brother, who was feeling very uncomfortable in the bathing city, was going to call some brothers to sing with him. According to the usual habit, the first one to sing would undoubtedly be the second brother, but that day the second brother suddenly had to pee urgently, so he asked another brother to sing first. As a result, the moment the brother touched the microphone, he suddenly twitched. It turned out that he was electrocuted to death by a leakage of electricity...

The series of accidents made the second brother realize that this was definitely not a pure accident. It was a madman from the Universal Group who had sneaked into the bath city. If he had not been extremely cautious in his daily life and had not been accompanied by several bodyguards even when going to the toilet, he would have died at the hands of the other party long ago.

At the same time, things in the officialdom were not peaceful. The new director of the city's public security bureau was determined to arrest him, even though the mayor had repeatedly put pressure on him, and the city procuratorate and the court had tried every means to stop him. Now, the second brother was trapped in the bathing city and couldn't get out. His group was in a panic. To make matters worse, when he was having dinner today, the second brother learned a piece of news from his friend in the public security department that the new director of the city's public security bureau actually cooperated with the police from another place to "rescue" one of his four kings, the "king" who had disappeared before and had the most black material about him, and now he didn't know where he was being interrogated...

"No, no, I can't stay in this bathing city anymore, I have to leave..."

an hour ago.

In the winter in the northeast, the sun sets very early. When we had dinner, night had already fallen. There were a few sparse stars in the sky, and occasionally a few clouds floated by, blocking the brightness of the moon. The street lights emitted a dim light, making the ground blurry. In a corner of the parking lot of the bath city, a figure slowly walked out of the shadows. The man was wrapped up tightly and wore a black peaked cap on his head. The brim of the hat was pulled down so low that it almost covered his face. The collar of the dark coat was turned up to cover most of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes.

The man walked out of the shadows and cautiously approached a black car parked in the corner. The man looked around and made sure that no one noticed him. Then he half-crouched down, took out tools from the small toolbox he carried with him, then bent down completely, lay under the car, and began to carefully look for the location of the brake pipe.

After finishing the work skillfully, the man stood up and looked around again to make sure no one noticed him. Then he closed the toolbox, pulled the collar of his coat, wrapped himself tighter, and walked away quickly, disappearing into the night as if he had never appeared.

After a while, three people hurried out of the bathing city. They were the second brother and his wife and his exclusive driver. They carried a few suitcases and got into the black car in a panic. A few seconds later, the car started the engine and left the bathing city. They thought they left secretly, but they didn't know that less than half a minute after they left the parking lot, two more cars started nearby and quietly followed them.

"Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best strategy," the second brother sighed in the car, "This new Public Security Bureau chief is determined to get rid of me. We absolutely cannot just sit there and wait for death. Let's get out of here first. Moving a tree will save a life..."

"Then let's go to Guangzhou?" asked the driver.

"What a joke! The other party must think so too. The checkpoints to the south will definitely get the news and stop us. The risk is too great on this road. Even if we reach Guangzhou, there may be cross-provincial pursuits. So we are going to Russia this time! Wife, bring our passports."

"I have them all with me. I always have them ready, but I never thought I would need them one day..."

"Don't be afraid, this is only temporary. Our network of contacts is still there. When the damn new director is overthrown, we will come back in glory!"

The car drove north and out of the city. The sparse trees on the roadside rustled in the breeze, and occasionally the sound of insects broke the silence of the night. The black car was speeding on this winding road, and the headlights drew two bright beams in the darkness. The second brother didn't know when the other party would order the police along the way to set up checkpoints to intercept, so he could only race against time, the faster the better.

The driver was concentrating on the road conditions ahead and was not paying much attention to the situation behind the car, but the second brother noticed it. He observed through the rearview mirror that there were two cars following closely behind his car, keeping a distance from him.

"Lao Liu, something is wrong," the second brother said to the driver with a hint of uneasiness in his voice, "There are two cars following us from behind, I'm worried they are..."

After hearing this, driver Lao Liu immediately became alert. He also glanced at the rearview mirror several times. With his many years of experience as a driver, he basically determined that the other party was following him on purpose.

"Second brother, hold on tight." Old Liu said in a deep voice, then stepped on the accelerator, and the black car rushed out like an arrow. The trees on both sides of the road quickly retreated, and the atmosphere in the car became tense and depressing. The second brother's eyes were always fixed on the rearview mirror, observing the every move of the two cars. The two cars obviously also accelerated, following closely behind them, and one of them was quickly closing the distance with his black car, as if it was going to overtake.

"They are closing the distance!" The second brother's voice was trembling. It was the first time for him to be so panicked. Even after he took out a pistol from under the car and loaded it with bullets, he was still very scared. The driver, Lao Liu, took a deep breath, held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and tried to stay calm. He also comforted the second brother and said, "Don't worry, second brother, there is a dangerous road ahead. I am familiar with it. I will find a way to get rid of them."

Then, Lao Liu turned the steering wheel sharply, and the black car drew an arc on the road and quickly turned into a fork road. This fork road was obviously not a common road, the road surface was bumpy and the car body was constantly shaking. However, Lao Liu was a skilled driver, he controlled the steering wheel steadily, trying to reduce the impact of the bumps on the car. Driving on the fork road was undoubtedly more difficult, but Lao Liu performed with ease. He kept changing routes, trying to get rid of the followers behind him through the complex road conditions. However, the two cars were obviously not to be outdone, and followed them closely without letting up.

"It seems that they will not give up until they achieve their goal." The second brother said gritting his teeth.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely get you out of danger." Old Liu responded in a deep voice, and he stepped harder and increased the speed of the car again. However, fate played a joke on the old driver Master Liu at this moment. He suddenly felt something strange with the brakes. His face changed, and he whispered, "Brother, there seems to be something wrong with the brakes!"

................

"Fuck, the driver on the other side is really skilled. He has been racing against us players who have focused all their skills on driving for such a long time, but he hasn't flipped over yet. I'm telling you, brother who sneaked into the parking lot, you didn't make a mistake in the target of your sabotage, did you..."

"No way! Just chase him! At the speed he's going, the brakes won't work. You're forcing him to slow down, and he'll have an accident sooner or later!"

"Bam—!"

"Wow, what you say is true, the other party bumped into you!"

The front half of the black car was compressed into a ball, and the back half was also smashed into a pile of parts by the violent collision. When the driver slowly stopped the car, got out and walked to the front of the black car, he saw three people covered in blood in the car.

"Check to see if he's still breathing. If he's still breathing, help him get out of this!"

A player walked forward, checked the injuries of the three people one by one, and then said: "They are dead..."

"OK, let's take a picture. Maybe in the future, our second brother will have the opportunity to appear on a traffic safety program and use his own miserable experience to tell the consequences of speeding... This is really true. If you drive unsafely, your family will shed tears."

Chapter 21: A “Deindustrialized” State-Owned Factory

4568 words

"What? Someone died?"

"Yes, Chief. The initial judgment is that the road conditions were too bad at night and the car was driving too fast, which led to the accident. It is unclear why the driver drove too fast on such a road... Now, the whole car is deformed and the people inside are dead."

There was a silence on the other end of the phone, and then the director said, "Although the person is dead, the evidence is not lost with him. You, Team 2, will protect the accident scene and see if you can find any valuable evidence. Team 1, the plan remains unchanged, rush into the bathing city and take everyone under control!"

Another "accident". According to the clues collected by the chief himself, the only clue that can be called a clue is that someone saw the second brother's black car leaving the city with two cars behind it. No one could see the license plate clearly at night, and even if they could see it clearly, it might be fake. As an old policeman, the chief himself imagined a scene of "Fast and Furious" on a suburban highway, just like in American blockbusters, and the second brother's driver was obviously not as skilled as others, and overturned during the speed chase.........

However, this can only be regarded as a reasonable inference at best. The public security department could not find any evidence of the "murder" of the Universal Group, and without evidence, there is naturally no way to convict. However, not only the police, but most locals believe that "Second Brother and his henchmen are all dead" and these things must have been done by the Universal Group. It is simply to establish prestige in the local area, and not to bear the consequences. It is really arrogant!

"My second brother is dead. The next step is to take down my eldest brother. After my eldest brother is taken down, I have to talk to the people of the Universal Group. The future society will eventually move towards the rule of law. We can't do whatever we want now..." Although the director himself has some good feelings for the Universal Group, which has helped him by chance, he still doesn't want the local security to rely on a group of "Liangshan heroes". It is a great irony for him as the director of the Public Security Bureau. As a member of the system, the director himself does not appreciate this kind of "chaos and kindness". He still prefers the "order and kindness" brought by the system.

However, this thought lasted less than half a minute, and the director smiled and comforted himself: "Why should I think so much now? The big brother has not been arrested yet. Who knows whether I will send the big brother to the police station or the big brother will lose his official hat... If it is the latter, I really have no right to talk about the Universal Group. By the way, it seems that tomorrow is the first day of the joint venture factory's official opening..."

...............

The sun shines in through the newly painted windows, illuminating the entire auditorium. The air inside the auditorium is still filled with a faint smell of paint. Banners with white characters on a red background are hung on the walls. The seats in the auditorium are completely occupied. Those laid-off workers are wearing their old blue work clothes, their faces full of longing and curiosity.

A year or two ago, they all stood here and were announced to be laid off by the leaders. Many workers still remember that the head of the factory said to everyone at that time: "We must reduce the burden on the enterprise, and we also hope that everyone can think about the country. 'If I don't get laid off, who will?' It's not shameful to be laid off. As long as our comrades are not lazy, they can continue to contribute to the country..." The workers quickly became excited, and they shouted in unison to the leader on the podium: "You are laid off! You are laid off!" Some people rushed to the front of the stage and tried to smash the leader's mouth with a punch, and then pushed and shoved with the personnel who maintained order. During the shove, the workers waved their fists and shouted: "I will not be laid off!"

But the fist did not change the fact that everyone was laid off. If it weren't for the arrival of Universal Group, the workers present would either have to survive in misery or take the "big adventure" of going south to work.

Now, in the places where they were announced to be laid off, the workers have the opportunity to return to work.

There was a brand new microphone on the stage in front of the auditorium. Behind the stage stood a vigorous middle-aged man, who was the protagonist of today's event and a familiar figure to many workers present, the new chairman of the joint venture factory, Chen Gong.

(Liang Ruikun: "Why not me? I am also the manager of our multinational company!")

(Players: "Brother, your game character's face is a bit too creepy... If you have a chance, you should go to Europe and the United States to open a new company that provides security services...")

(Chen Gong: "If I become the chairman, will it feel like I was appointed by someone else...")

(Players: "After voting in our chat group, it has been decided that you will be the chairman of the new company!")

The game character operated by Chen Gong looked around the auditorium, then tapped the microphone gently, and the sound spread throughout the room through the loudspeaker. The workers gradually quieted down, and all their eyes were focused on Chen Gong. Chen Gong cleared his throat and began his speech.

"Hello, colleagues! Today is the day our joint venture is established, and it is also the day when all of us start anew!"

There was warm applause from the audience, smiles appeared on the workers' faces, and some of them nodded unconsciously.

The game character operated by Chen Gong continued to paint a "blueprint" in front of everyone, saying that our joint venture factory will introduce the most advanced technology in the world, and we will do our best to protect everyone's employment and protect the workers' eight-hour work system. The company will also assume its own social responsibility and provide workers with housing, medical care, and education. "

There was another burst of warm applause from the audience.

The chairman on the podium paused for a moment, then changed the subject and said that future joint ventures must eliminate factors that are not in line with the development of the times. Things like 'son inheriting father's business' style of succession, 'makeshift' quality management, nepotism, overstaffing, bureaucracy and formalism will all be eliminated, and those bad apples that spoil the whole pot of broth will definitely be kicked out.

When Chen Gong read this, the workers in the audience remembered that the people of Universal Group were not just good guys. If they really touched their bottom line, they would not show any mercy. The workers did not think further. They just had to work hard in the future and not cheat. This was actually a kind of protection for honest people.

The ones who were really on pins and needles were the managers of the original factory. Seeing Chen Gong's intention to make drastic reforms, the first thing that came to their mind was: "A new emperor appoints new officials. People like us should stand aside..."

...............

Chen Gong originally thought that the factory he took over as the new chairman was just an enterprise with aging equipment, chaotic management, and sluggish market. The productivity of the state-owned enterprise itself was still very good. As long as he reorganized it and brought in new production lines, the enterprise could be revitalized. But after Chen Gong learned a little about the specific situation of the enterprise, he was surprised to find that this was actually a state-owned enterprise that was gradually moving towards "de-industrialization."

“So, there are so many pressure cookers of our brand on the market, but they are all…”

"Those are all outsourced to other factories..."

As the company's own brand of pressure cookers were very popular in the market at the time, the factory's production capacity could not keep up. The leadership of the former state-owned enterprise was greedy for short-term benefits. In a short period of time, they set up more than a dozen "joint ventures" across the country by transferring the right to use the brand. Most of these "joint ventures" were individual or private enterprises. As long as they paid a trademark usage fee, they could have their products labeled with the state-owned enterprise's brand. The leaders of the state-owned enterprises were also happy to make easy money this way.

However, most of these "joint ventures" had poor management and poor product quality. If the inferior products they produced were allowed to enter the market, it would undoubtedly damage the brand of their own state-owned enterprises. However, the leaders of state-owned enterprises at that time did not care about the brand effect or the quality of the products. As long as they could receive a large amount of trademark royalties in the short term and the pressure cookers could be sold, it would be fine.

In addition to the "joint venture factories", there are also "outsourced factories" that produce parts for state-owned enterprises. These factories refer to various processing factories that provide spare parts for the state-owned enterprises. Since state-owned enterprises have the right to operate independently, the leaders of state-owned enterprises can independently choose materials and spare parts. Therefore, the leaders of state-owned enterprises have entrusted a considerable part of the production of spare parts to these "outsourced factories".

According to a worker, "At that time, the products were in short supply and the factory could not produce enough. In addition, the cost of parts produced by those 'outsourced factories' was lower than that of the factory's own production, so the factory bought a large amount of their goods. I was a quality inspector at the time. Generally, when people from the 'outsourced factories' came to deliver goods, everyone knew it well. Even if there were problems, they would not say much, and they could get some benefits. I had just been transferred to this position and did not know the ins and outs of it. There was a batch of goods that could not be accepted. At that time, the workshop director called me over and said that he already knew about this batch of goods and I didn't need to worry about it. I was young and stupid at that time, so I reported the matter to the factory leaders. As you can imagine, the goods were still accepted, and I was transferred a year later."

The existence of "outsourced factories" not only affects product quality, but also leads to a large number of corruption phenomena such as "taking kickbacks" within the factory leadership. Even the relatives of many leaders run such factories outside the factory.

Another laid-off worker mentioned this. "The former factory director supported his youngest son to embezzle public funds to build a personal parts store, which sold exclusively to our factory. The leader's son relied on his father's power to buy all the parts in the factory. The quality of the parts he bought was low and the price was high, which was more than ten times or even dozens of times higher than the market price. The whole factory had to buy parts from him. The factory would not reimburse parts purchased from other places.

"Fuck it, clean up the house, we must clean up the house!"

In response to this chaotic situation, after taking office, Chairman Chen Gong decided to immediately cut the Gordian knot. Chen Gong immediately convened the first employee representative meeting, at which he proposed the idea of ​​"severing ties" with those outsourced factories and joint ventures, strictly controlling the quality of their own products, and taking back the right to use their own company's trademarks. They would never allow outsourced factories to destroy their own reputation.

"But, Chairman, the joint venture factory can still provide more than 1000 million RMB in trademark royalties every year, which is also a considerable income for the factory every year. Our factory has not even started to make money, but our source of income has been cut off. Shouldn't we be more cautious about this..." said a former management leader of the factory.

"You bought the future of our factory with 1000 million RMB per year? How short-sighted!" Chen Gong slammed the table and said, "For decades, thousands of workers have worked hard to create our company's brand. Everyone knows how difficult it is to create a brand that has been famous at home and abroad for many years. This hard-earned brand is absolutely precious."

Then, Chen Gong said at the meeting: "If the purpose is to make quick money in the short term, why would we come here to acquire a state-owned enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy? What we value is the golden signboard of this enterprise over the years. This golden signboard is the iron rice bowl that we all share. The previous practice of setting up joint ventures allowed counterfeit goods with our factory name to flood the market, causing quality problems and safety accidents that threaten human lives, making customers lose trust in our brand. This is destroying the iron rice bowl in our hands. As the chairman, I am the first one to disagree, and I believe that everyone will never agree to it!"

Chen Gong's words at the workers' congress were very strong, his words were fierce, his attitude was clear, and the chairman's words were supported by most of the employees. Compared with the previous factory boss's one-man show, when making decisions, the new chairman did not close the door and discuss with the management only, but let all the workers' representatives participate. As the chairman, Chen Gong persuaded these workers' representatives one by one through meetings.

The chairman said to them: "What's there to worry about if we temporarily cut off the annual 1000 million? The group will first inject capital to help solve the problem of insufficient funds in the early stage. Our company does not need to support shareholders who just sit back and take money. Short-term profits are not a big deal for us. What we care about is always the long-term survival of the company and that the company will not go bankrupt in the future. This is not only my personal matter, but also closely related to you all..."

The social security system in China in the 90s was difficult to describe. The fact that state-owned enterprises had been “running social services” for a long time in the past was also related to this. It was precisely because the social security provided by the government was insufficient that enterprises had to bear part of the social security responsibility. Today, the social security provided by the government is still insufficient, but it is impatient to let many state-owned enterprises abandon the “social burden” and go into battle lightly. The cost of this is naturally borne by the workers. Before the level of social security provided by the government catches up, it will take some time for “labor pain”.

Compared with the current social security provided by the government, the workers are very clear that the security provided by Universal Group is real. Chen Gong said to the employee representatives, "Only if the enterprise survives in the long run can the social security of housing, medical care, education, retirement and other social security of the employees exist. In a sense, everyone is bound together with the fate of the enterprise. As the saying goes, 'If the enterprise is strong, I will win easily, but if the enterprise goes bankrupt, I will be finished.'"

Therefore, the employee representatives almost unanimously supported the new chairman to cut off the connection with the "external factories and joint venture factories", which surprised some vested interests and the management of the original enterprise who were originally prepared to interfere. At first, they were prepared to use their usual method of deceiving their superiors and concealing the truth to disrupt the new chairman's decision. However, the chairman did not make decisions on his own as he did in the past. Instead, he held a worker representative meeting and made decisions without the support of the original management. This decision was undoubtedly supported by the vast majority of workers.

"What is this? The top leader is directly contacting the grassroots employees and sidelining us leaders?"

At the same time, Chairman Chen Gong is waiting for a group of new players to arrive. According to the mission description of "The First Step of the Long March", the players have now completed part of the mission, so the "Universe Group" that issued the mission also decided to fulfill part of the mission rewards first, including more player quotas. Chen Gong's plan is to find an opportunity to kick out the "insect" leaders in the factory one by one after more new players arrive. If these people who rely on their seniority to give orders are not driven out of the leadership position, the new atmosphere of the enterprise will never be established.
