Chapter 931: Chapter 887: Demolition Obstructed Chapter 931: Chapter 887: Demolition Obstructed Friction?
Nie Zhenbang’s mind stirred, the relocation meeting had been about to commence when it was suddenly canceled, and moreover, there were rumors of friction having occurred. This was highly abnormal.
Huaxia Group, in terms of ranking, was a ministerial-level body and indeed, its nature wasn’t purely that of a state-owned enterprise. The nature of Huaxia Group should be considered a hybrid of party-government system and enterprise.
In terms of management, it leaned towards the party and government departments, and Nie Zhenbang himself held multiple positions and had a say in both the Xibei Military Region and the Ganzhou Provincial Party Committee. In terms of operations, however, it tended more towards being an enterprise, after all, the main purpose of Huaxia Group was re
Following the procession of cars into the village, he quickly estimated that vehicles from various departments in Ganzhou City, including public security, firefighting, urban management, and others, made up the majority of the more than a hundred cars present. Add to that the ambulances waiting on the side, ready to respond at any moment, there were about a dozen. It seemed like Huang Dayong of Ganzhou City was prepared for conflict.
With a sigh, he moved forward and then saw the cars of the top ranks of the Ganlan City Committee, from number one all the way to number ten, signifying that ten of the eleven standing committee members of Ganzhou were present. The one absent was likely out of town.
As he entered the village, he found the open spaces, the trees, and the surrounding walls were all filled with people; the Ganzhou City Public Security Bureau had already set up a police cordon.
In the center of the crowds, hundreds of uniformed law enforcement officers stood watchfully opposed to the villagers. In the midst of the crowd, Huang Dayong, a standing committee member and secretary of the Ganlan City Committee, and Mayor Yang Qifeng stood at the center.
At that moment, Huang Dayong was holding a portable megaphone, speaking to the villagers, “Folks, let’s all calm down, no need to be impetuous. This time, we did not come to force demolitions, and I, Huang Dayong, assure you of that with my integrity and the official cap on my head.”
Nie Zhenbang didn’t have much interaction with the people of Ganzhou, but he was quite satisfied with Huang Dayong’s speech. At least from what he could see, Huang Dayong seemed to be no confused official.
Yet among the crowd, someone shouted, “Not a forced demolition? Then what are all these cars and people here for? Don’t treat us like fools. If you want us to believe you, it’s possible, but send a couple of people to the village to negotiate with us.”
The moment the words were out, Yang Qifeng called out loudly, “Fellow villagers, brothers and sisters farmers, let’s be calm. Do you realize that by doing this, you are openly defying the government, which is illegal, and carries legal responsibility?”
Upon hearing this, the villagers got agitated once more, and someone in the crowd yelled back, “What’s there to be scared of? They’re just trying to scare us. The law doesn’t punish the masses; I don’t believe the government can arrest us all.”
“Idiot,” Nie Zhenbang muttered under his breath, annoyed. The groundwork laid by Huang Dayong was wasted by Yang Qifeng’s outburst. It was clear that the situation Huang Dayong had managed to control started to unravel after Yang Qifeng had spoken.
Huang Dayong glanced at Yang Qifeng with a look of someone who does more harm than good. At this moment, Huang Dayong hesitated, considering the risks if they couldn’t control the situation and something went awry.
While Huang Dayong was hesitation, Nie Zhenbang stood outside the cordon, raising his arm high, and called out, “Alright, I’ll go in with you to talk, but I have one condition.” (
