Chapter 290 Fired
He took out his cell phone and contacted a Beggar Gang disciple and agreed on a meeting place. Zhang Ailun also left the apartment community with Molina, drove to a traffic light intersection, and stopped on the side of the road.
Not long after, I saw a Beggar Clan disciple driving a van over. He got out of the van and came over to say hello, "Boss, is this the person we need to escort?"
Zhang Allen nodded. "Send him to the mountain camp. Hand him over to Dr. Jerry. Remember to make the old man behave himself and give him a serious diagnosis and treatment! Make sure he doesn't make any mistakes, otherwise I'll chop him up and make fertilizer."
"Ok."
He got off the car and pulled the Beggar Gang disciples aside. He informed them about Molina's abnormal behavior. They expressed their understanding and promised to send the people there safely.
After arranging everything, Zhang Ailun watched the other party and the Beggar Gang disciples get into the van, waved goodbye and left, and then he got back into the car.
He took out his phone and took a look. He found that his supervisor Lei Ke had also sent him a latest message after work.
Lei Ke: Boss, would you like to come over and discuss the compensation issue with the Blue Company?
Zhang Ailun: Have they paid the compensation for mental damage?
Lei Ke: The money has not been in arrears, it has already been received, 200,000 US dollars for each of the 15 employees, a total of 3 million US dollars in subsidies. In addition, they also have to pay us additional compensation for the loss of our venue, as well as the huge amount of money that we were ordered to pay to the victims' families in the previous lawsuit.
Zhang Ailun: Did they all give it to me?
Lei Ke: Of course they didn’t have money to give us, because the court reiterated the case against the owner and board of directors of Weilan Company, collected new evidence, and involved many new old cases. The police went to find the witnesses and evidence and the parties involved overnight and charged them. Because the situation was so bad, they sentenced him to at least 1500 years in prison. The court also refused the sky-high bail. After he went in, he basically couldn’t get out. Weilan Company collapsed overnight.
Zhang Ailun: How much money can they give?
Lei Ke: In addition to the $300 million they have already paid, they only have $2400 million in cash on the project, and that's even after they owed some employees their monthly salaries. If it weren't for the court watching and enforcing the compensation, even the head of the finance department would have planned to run away.
Lei Ke: Last night, someone couldn't stand the pressure. When the police came to check the financial expenditures of previous years, he wanted to resign and run away, but he was caught by the police in time and taken back to the police station for interrogation. As a result, he got some old cases out of him. The other party took the initiative to admit that the company had bribed the police, and those police officers are now also under investigation by the Southern Branch.
Lei Ke: The most ridiculous thing is that they also have an accountant and a driver of the Azure truck who took the blame. They were sentenced to 20 years in prison by the court for murder a few years ago. They are still in a private prison. During this period, their sentences were commuted several times for good behavior. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be released in June this year. But now it’s good. After collecting evidence and clues, the court found that they seemed to have not explained something clearly, so they were taken back for interrogation and re-sentenced, and each of them was given an additional 15 years in prison. They refused to reduce their sentences and pay bail again. This time they really have to serve the full 15 years!
Zhang Ailun: …
It seems that Dave's power and influence are greater than he imagined. How can this be considered helping the other party? Why does Boss Wei Lan deserve his help?
It's literally killing me.
He directly pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, destroying the other person's life for the rest of his life, and also solved several wrongful murders.
Is this the power of a 1500-year sentence?
How many people have to go in?
It seems that not only the police officers in the North Branch are busy, but the police officers in the South Branch are also running errands.
After all, the police will definitely take inventory of their assets and confiscate all gray income. After all, they can't make a wasted trip.
Lei Ke: In order not to affect the daily lives of ordinary employees, the police also granted temporary leave to ordinary staff. However, without the staff from the financial department, the efficiency has dropped a lot. Now, the office is basically done by accountants appointed by the court. The court will also rule that the Blue Company will be permanently banned from commercial transactions and its finances and assets will be confiscated.
Lei Ke: But there is no money in the account of Wei Lan Company, so they have no way to compensate us. Now the court is considering it and wants to discuss with us to transfer Wei Lan Company’s three factories and sites to us as compensation, as well as the 48 ordinary grassroots employees who have signed labor contracts with Wei Lan Company.
Zhang Ailun: What is the value of those three factories? They handed over the people and equipment to me, so do you still want me to pay them the overdue wages?
Lei Ke: The court has already applied to the relevant Los Angeles authorities for this incident. The local union and the foundation of the public welfare organization have issued a subsidy of 600-800 US dollars to each person. If we take over the three venues, we don’t need to subsidize their wages. We only need to pay them according to their working hours. But I haven’t visited the venues yet, but according to the evaluation of the court, the equipment construction value of each venue is about 700 million US dollars.
Zhang Ailun: Even if the three venues were used as collateral for the debt, it would only be $2100 million, plus the $2400 million in compensation, which would only be $4500 million. So the remaining $5460 million would not be paid?
Lei Ke: If the court lifts the transaction restrictions and auctions off the Blue Company, there may be a new owner who will compensate us with the money.
Isn't this the same as the chief leader?
They are all waiting for the next buyer.
It’s just that the leader is absolutely sure that he can defeat the Blue Company, otherwise he would not easily invest in purchasing the Parker Company.
Although Parker suffered heavy losses, with shareholders fleeing and company assets sold off, the company still had at least three sites, and it only owed the bank $20 million in debt, and no one was imprisoned.
Weilan Company was different. The boss, accountant, and a bunch of other people were all taken in. Even the final site assets and employees had to be packed up and given away. It was a real shell company.
Allen Zhang: How long do we have to wait? Who would buy a shell company?
Lei Ke: Weilan Company has very good qualifications, and many of its certificates are also very creditworthy. It is also a long-established metal energy company. If someone who wants to start a business values those things, they can buy it, rent an office building, recruit good employees, and open for business directly. In order to auction the company, the court will definitely lift some restrictions, and may also issue regulations to cancel all sanctions and restrictions after the transfer, and even provide some tax relief benefits.
Zhang Ailun: OK, then I understand.
Lei Ke: Boss, you can come to the building of Wei Lan Company now. We will go to visit the site facilities later. We also need to explain everything clearly to the new employees to avoid labor disputes.
Allen Zhang: Okay.
After putting away his phone, the chief drove to the office building of Azure Company according to the navigation location sent by Lei Ke.
After arriving at the building, I parked the car on the side of the road, entered the building and took the elevator straight to the 16th floor.
When I arrived here, I saw that the office floor of the Blue Company had been emptied. The legal and accounting personnel sent by the court were handling follow-up work here. There were also police officers guarding outside the door, and the supervisor Lei Ke was also talking to them.
After turning around and seeing the leader coming, he greeted him enthusiastically.
Zhang Ailun nodded in response and entered the office floor. Looking at the court accountant who was counting the accounts and the door with a temporary seal, he also asked: "When are we going to the venue?"
"Boss, we'll wait for you to come over and then we'll go to inspect the site together." Lei Ke said.
"Mr. Jin, we can go over now. To ensure your safety, we will also ask two police officers from the Southern Branch to accompany you throughout the journey." The court accountant said enthusiastically.
"Police officers? Do we still need police officers? Are we going to run into any risks?" Zhang Ailun said in surprise.
"There are quite a few black people among the ordinary employees of Azure Company." The court accountant said tactfully: "Azure Company is a diversified company that emphasizes political correctness. In addition to the majority of black employees, there are also many Indians, Mexicans, and Brazilians."
Brazilian? If you don't go to Florida to do performance art, what are you doing in Los Angeles?
Working in a factory? That's just burying talent.
"Man, I'm not a racist. Black people are human beings too." The chief immediately expressed his opinion.
"You're right, but when they heard that their wages were gone, they were making a fuss and looking for trouble with the person who caused it," said the accountant.
"Why is this happening? Are they trying to cause trouble for me?" Zhang Ailun was a little confused. "I don't know who started this rumor, but some people privately said that it was our Parker Company that lost their salary. If we didn't sue the Azure Company and the Azure boss didn't go to jail, they would definitely not lose more than a month's salary and only get a few hundred dollars in subsidies." Lei Ke said, "They also said they don't want to work at our Parker Company and want to talk to you."
"What the hell, what's wrong with them? We at Parker are the victims, okay?" Zhang Ailun was dumbfounded after hearing this.
"If they don't want to work, they can just leave. I didn't kidnap him."
What are those people’s values?
Good people, do good people deserve to be pointed at guns?
I was thinking about finding a reason to fire all those black guys when I got back!
If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who are willing to do it.
You recruit black people to help you work, no wonder your Blue Company's business is not big. They are slacking off, making trouble, marching, and Black Lives Matter. They are all professionals.
Working is just a temporary helplessness, and the free shopping activities after get off work are their destiny.
The Beggars' Sect's temple is small and cannot accommodate these great gods.
Of course, if they were hardworking and capable black people like David, the leader would be happy to recruit them. But it was obvious that they were not.
"Let's go, let me see who is causing trouble. According to the latest rules and regulations issued by our Parker Company, I have the right to unilaterally terminate the employment contracts of those who disrespect the boss or even insult and attempt to harm the boss. I think your court should have no objection, right? After all, this is the trouble you caused me."
Zhang Ailun looked at the legal staff. In order to save their jobs and prevent dozens of black people from causing trouble on the streets, they actually came up with the trick of paying for the place and sending their employees away. They really didn't care about their dignity.
You took my money, but you didn't do anything good for me! The chief leader immediately wanted to report the situation to their leader.
The legal staff were also a little nervous, but they could only smile and say some nice words.
The group left the office building. Zhang Ailun handed the car keys to Lei Ke, asking him to drive. He sat in the back seat and drove off the street with the legal staff.
The police officer assigned from the Southern Branch drove a Ford police car, honking the horn to clear the way. The road was smooth and the chief leader was able to experience the privilege.
It took me some time to get to the blue factory in the suburbs to work. Coincidentally, it was not far from Parker's site and could be reached in less than ten minutes by car.
"If they really do something abnormal and want to engage in violence and conflict, please allow me to use my authority for self-defense. My employees are next door, and they are not as reasonable as I am." Zhang Ailun reminded the legal staff in advance.
"Mr. Jin, it's best not to have any conflicts. We will help you resolve the dispute. Now is a sensitive period. If it were usual, you wouldn't have to care about the behavior of these employees. You could always choose to lay them off if you're not satisfied. But in the next few days, the FBI will come to Los Angeles to conduct an investigation, so all industries need to be cautious."
The plan cannot keep up with the changes, and the legal staff are helpless. They don’t want to bring trouble upon themselves, so at least they have to pretend.
Many mainstream media have already focused their attention on Los Angeles. People in other states don’t care what you think. Those media are eager to discredit you and will make a fuss about any movement!
This is not conducive to the development of Los Angeles.
After all, it is the City of Angels and the second most prosperous city. Any filth and dirt must be wiped clean and spotless.
Zhang Ailun also expressed his understanding.
"It's the United States after all. Every state has its own problems, but how can they understand the troubles of the mayor of Los Angeles who earns over $200,000 a year?"
On the surface it's two hundred thousand dollars, but who knows how much more can be taken away secretly.
Who made Los Angeles’ economy so awesome?
Drove to the scene.
Zhang Ailun saw a group of black employees holding signs through the window, including South Americans and Indians. After seeing the Rolls-Royce Cullinan approaching the site and parking, they all gathered around. The black leader held up a sign and shouted loudly: "Parker Company! Give me back my hard-earned money!!"
"Pay back the money!!"
"You should be hung from a street lamp!!"
This familiar scene made the chief leader and Lei Ke in the car look at each other in bewilderment.
"Damn it! I'm such a generous, helpful and conscientious entrepreneur, but they actually want to hang me on a street lamp? Is there any justice in this? Is there any law in this?" The chief cursed.
Looking at the black woman holding a sign, with dreadlocks and a loud voice, Zhang Ailun pointed at her and said, "Her! What's her name?"
"Reddy." Lei Ke said as he flipped through the employee list.
"Hey, Reddy, you're fucking fired!!" Zhang Ailun rolled down the car window and shouted, raising his middle finger and showing no mercy to the other party.
"..."
The legal staff were all numb.
No, didn't we just agree not to make a big noise? Why did you change your attitude in an instant?
How are you going to ask them to explain this?
Chief Leader: Difficult? Then don’t do it!
After these words were spoken, many black people were stimulated and became angry, and they wanted to rush forward directly.
The police officer got out of the car and immediately maintained law and order at the scene. He took out his pistol, the light weapons he carried in the car, and the shotgun in the car, loaded the bullets into the chamber with two clicks, and shouted loudly: "Back off! Don't come any closer!!"
This is when their role comes into play.
