Chapter 2806 provides a solution.

Having received the answer from Qin Feng, Sun Yuanwei naturally knew what to do. However, some things couldn't be said too explicitly, so he cooperated by saying, "Okay, I'll personally go see President Xiao of Huayang in the next couple of days. We need his help right now."

“Mayor Yuanwei, since Huayang is interested in making a big splash in our Shazhou, and their company is quite powerful, I think if they have the capability, we might as well entrust the sports center and several other projects to them.”

“My opinion is that anyone who jumps out this time to fight against the government and stop construction, along with Shao Hongli, Yang Zhijie and others, should be dealt with in the same way you just mentioned for the sewage pipeline renovation project. Those who don’t listen should be cleared out, the project should be taken back in accordance with the law, and they should be held legally responsible.”

"After clearing the site, immediately arrange for a new company to take over and continue construction. The project cannot be stopped," Qin Feng said after taking a sip of tea.

Sun Yuanwei looked at Qin Feng with a surprised expression.

“Mayor, I have to refute you,” Sun Yuanwei said.

Only Sun Yuanwei would dare to say such a thing to Qin Feng; no one else would dare to say it to him.

"Please speak," Qin Feng said, not angry.

"What you're doing is too risky and too radical; it could easily lead to big problems," Sun Yuanwei directly commented on Qin Feng's decision.

"The total cost of the sewage pipeline renovation project is 1.2 billion yuan. I have calculated that if Huayang Group takes over, it will need to start construction immediately according to our requirements, settle the outstanding project payments, and ensure the project's cash flow for at least two to three months. This would require at least 80 to 100 million yuan in funding, and this is just a conservative estimate."

"Moreover, this money is not what is called assets; it is real cash. There are not many companies on the market that can come up with so much money at once, and the most important thing is that they can come up with so much money in a short period of time."

"Secondly, it's the same problem as before. Whether it's the sewage pipe renovation project or other projects like the sports center, these projects that are taken over a second time all have one thing in common: they don't make money, and the probability of losing money is high. They also cause a lot of trouble. If the government doesn't increase the budget, almost no company will be willing to take them on."

"Our current situation is that we must take over the project and continue construction in a short period of time. On the one hand, the project cannot be stopped, and on the other hand, we must ensure that these migrant workers have work and money so that they will not be incited to cause trouble."

"If we were to add budgets to these projects, firstly, our finances are already in a difficult situation, and we simply don't have any extra funds. Secondly, even if we could squeeze out funds from other places, the process would take a long time, and if Shao Hongli and others obstruct it, it would take even longer. We simply cannot allow the projects to be suspended for such a long time."

"So this is a deadlock, which means that no company is willing to take it over. During this period, I have tried to contact many companies, but as soon as they heard that it was a second-hand project and that they would have to go against Lixin Group, no company was willing to come."

"Huayang Group may be an exception, thanks to the mayor's personal charisma. But Huayang Group is lucky if they can get a sewage pipeline renovation project; they can't possibly come up with more funds to take on other projects, nor are they willing to take on any more."

“Mayor, if we cannot be sure that a company is willing to take over immediately, we must not clear these projects. Doing so will only further escalate the conflict and put us in a passive position.”

"My opinion is that this action should only target the sewage pipeline renovation project, because this project is very urgent. Other projects are relatively less urgent. Since we don't have the capacity to take them on, we should find a way to work around those projects."

"My suggestion is to arrange for people to work with the migrant workers, to stop them from causing trouble, and to educate them on the law and reason with them. That's how we do community outreach."

"On the other hand, we've arranged for the Public Security Bureau to put pressure on these active organizers, because their actions are premeditated and organized, so the process will be very dangerous. Therefore, we'll try to avoid using force and focus on appeasement and persuasion..."

Sun Yuanwei explained his plans in detail, and these plans were basically based on his experience as a leader and his many years of grassroots work.

As Sun Yuanwei said, the main approach to dealing with such mass incidents is to appease the public, emphasize the importance of building a united front, do a good job of ideological work among the masses, reach a consensus, and solve the problems.

Qin Feng respected Sun Yuanwei and always valued the advice he gave, because Sun Yuanwei was one of the best in Shazhou City in terms of ability and experience, and he was also an upright person.

Take Sun Yuanwei's suggestions, for example. They are the best way to deal with the current situation. Moreover, Sun Yuanwei's explanations are well-organized, which shows that he has seriously considered this issue.

"Mayor Yuanwei, what you just said makes a lot of sense and points out the crux of the problem. I did indeed overlook some aspects." Qin Feng said sincerely.

"But I still want to explain why I insist on doing this, and I hope Mayor Yuanwei can point out any mistakes I've made." Qin Feng said, lighting a cigarette for Sun Yuanwei himself.

Qin Feng had the biggest smoking habit among them. Sun Yuanwei was a heavy smoker in his early years, which was a common problem for working people. Later, as he got older, he began to pay attention to his health and control the frequency of his smoking.

But today, because he was thinking about things, he kept smoking one cigarette after another until the whole office was stuffy and he couldn't keep his eyes open. Chen Guohua had no choice but to get up and go to the side to open all the windows in Qin Feng's office.

"When doing mass work, especially when it involves mass incidents, it is essential to strike a balance and never escalate conflicts. This is certain, and I have full confidence in Mayor Yuanwei's experience and wisdom."

"But Mayor Yuanwei, this is not a simple conflict among the masses, nor is it a mass incident in the general sense. This matter is fundamentally different from the Liujia Village incident last time."

"As you just said, this is a premeditated, organized, and purposeful group crime, not a general group petition."

"Because there are forces behind it organizing, planning, and promoting it, I don't think we can solve it using the same methods we use to deal with general mass incidents. To put it bluntly, with Shao Hongli and Lixin Group behind us, unless we can give these migrant workers tangible benefits, ideological work alone will not solve the problem."

"As far as I know, they have agreed to give each of the migrant workers who followed them in causing trouble five thousand yuan for travel expenses," Qin Feng said slowly.
