Chapter 2844 Where did Huayang Group come from?

"Mr. Yang, it might be impossible to split the people into two groups as originally planned tomorrow," Ding Haiyang said, somewhat troubled.

"Why?" Yang Zhijie frowned.

"We probably won't be able to gather that many people."

Hearing this, Yang Zhijie frowned even more deeply and looked coldly at Ding Haiyang.

"The news that just came in is that the municipal government has begun to forcibly remove the current construction companies. The action is very forceful and resolute. Anyone who obstructs or refuses to cooperate has been arrested and taken to the police station," Ding Haiyang said after sitting down.

"Oh? So tough? That's a good thing. Instead of trying to downplay the situation, they're escalating the conflict, which is more advantageous for us. Fine, let them arrest people and then dismiss them. Let's see what happens to these projects after that, and who will build them." Yang Zhijie laughed.

“Someone has already started construction, and they’ve already started working on it,” Ding Haiyang said.

"Who is it? Who dares?" Yang Zhijie didn't believe it.

"Huayang Group".

"Huayang Group? Where did that come from? I've never heard of it before."

"This is the first time I've heard of it either. It's not a company from Shazhou, nor is it from Gansu or Liangzhou. I just had someone do a rough investigation, and the company is from Jiangnan Province," Ding Haiyang said.

"Jiangnan Province? From the same place as Qin Feng?" Yang Zhijie immediately grasped the key point.

"Yes, they come from the same place, but it's unclear whether there's any connection between them. This will require time to investigate."

"What's the point of investigating? This is obviously Qin Feng's hired help. Otherwise, who would dare to come to Shazhou to oppose me? Would they be crazy? Besides, who would be stupid enough to take on a second-hand project that's clearly not going to make money?"

"You just said you're taking over five projects simultaneously?" Yang Zhijie asked.

“Yes, the news I’ve received is that Huayang Group has taken over all five projects at the same time. Their people have already moved into the project offices for these five projects. I’ve also asked around, and the government has already signed agreements with Huayang Group for these five projects.” Ding Haiyang nodded.

"Taking on five projects at the same time? Does this company have that capability?" Yang Zhijie still didn't believe it.

"This... is not clear yet. I just received the news myself. It will take time to conduct a detailed investigation of this company." Ding Haiyang said with some difficulty.

"Then tell me now, when did this company come to Shazhou? And when did it sign the agreement with the government? Don't tell me that this bullshit Huayang Group only came to Shazhou today, right? Such a big company, such a big matter, why didn't you notice or pay attention to it before?" Yang Zhijie pointed at Ding Haiyang's nose and questioned him.

“This was a mistake on my part. We have been monitoring Qin Feng’s every move during this period. We know where he goes and who he meets every day, but we have not seen him have any contact with Huayang Group. Otherwise, we would have known about the existence of Huayang Group long ago.”

"On the other hand, we haven't received any news about such a large company entering Shazhou. Logically speaking, we couldn't possibly not know that a company capable of taking on five large projects in one go has come to Shazhou..." Ding Haiyang was still explaining when Yang Zhijie interrupted him.

"Alright, alright, what's the use of saying all this now? Go find a way to find out more about this Huayang Group, the more detailed the better. I want to see what kind of background this Huayang Group has, how much power it has, that it dares to come to Shazhou to oppose me." Yang Zhijie said through gritted teeth.

"Leaving aside the Huayang Group issue, tell me clearly why you can't gather so many migrant workers?" Yang Zhijie continued to ask.

"After Huayang Group entered several projects, they convened a meeting with all the contractors and promised to continue signing agreements with them to allow them to continue construction, with everything based on the original unit price, or even higher. They also promised to advance the money owed from previous projects within three days, on the condition that all construction teams guarantee to resume normal construction by tomorrow, and that not a single migrant worker will be missing."

"At the same time, a condition was added: each contractor must manage the migrant workers under their command. If even one migrant worker joins in causing trouble, not only will the contractor not pay the wages owed to them by the construction company, but they will also not be allowed to continue working on the project."

"President Yang, this move is extremely ruthless. It's incredibly damaging to these migrant workers. We only managed to get them to join us in causing trouble by threatening them with money and by paying them. But the amount of money we paid is negligible compared to the conditions offered by Huayang Group."

"In addition, the police station, community and Huayang Group are still doing ideological work among the migrant workers. Many migrant workers have even voluntarily confessed that our people threatened them and paid them to cause trouble."

"General Manager Yang, I can basically conclude that not many migrant workers will be willing to continue causing trouble with us tomorrow. Therefore, the original plan of having two groups, one to cause trouble at the municipal party committee and government, and the other to secretly go to the province to provide cover, is probably difficult to implement," Ding Haiyang said.

Yang Zhijie's face turned ugly. He paced back and forth in the room, smoking a cigarette. Finally, he pointed at Ding Haiyang with a cigarette between his fingers and said, "I don't care what the situation is now, and I don't care how difficult it is for you. You must send him to the province to cause trouble. And you must also make sure to kill two people in the province according to the plan. At the same time, you must create a public opinion storm for me."

"You should know that the person in the province is waiting. We must do as he asks, otherwise the old man won't be able to explain himself to the province, and I won't be able to explain myself to the old man either. We must do whatever it takes!" Yang Zhijie shouted.

"I understand all of that, but... there are indeed difficulties. Public opinion shouldn't be a problem; we've already started taking action, and I estimate that by tonight the whole internet will be buzzing about it, reaching its peak tomorrow."

"But it's definitely not possible to split into two groups and act at the same time tomorrow. We can only cancel the plan to cause trouble at the municipal party committee and government, and gather all the migrant workers who can be persuaded to go with us to cause trouble into one group and set off for the province as originally planned."

"However, without the cover of causing trouble at the municipal party committee and government, such a large group heading to the province is very likely to be noticed by Qin Feng and his group. Once they notice, they will definitely take action, and then it will be difficult for us to leave Shazhou smoothly. This is the only point of concern." Ding Haiyang was still quite cautious.

"Are you stupid? Don't you understand that we should go to the provincial capital in batches? How would they find out? Don't forget, Shazhou is my territory. The Yang family is in charge here, not Qin Feng." Yang Zhijie said, somewhat agitated.

"And once you've built up public opinion, will they still have the mind to pay attention to this matter tomorrow? So you must launch a public opinion offensive, the bigger the better. Don't worry about the money; as long as you kill Qin Feng, any amount of money is worth it," Yang Zhijie concluded.
