Chapter 798: Reverse Operation, Our Own Allies Can

Su Yang smiled and said, "You have come from afar, so you must be sincere; we are also sitting here today with full sincerity. Therefore, I will try my best to protect your interests, at least let you earn money in Lieshan Xian over the next few years."

"First, the equipment and facilities of the Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery are worth 80 million, and you must pay me the full amount. Why do I say it's worth 80 million? Because it also includes our ten‑year veteran workers, whose value far exceeds 20 million, so I am giving you a discount."

"Second, the Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery occupies hundreds of mu; we originally charged 1,000 yuan per mu per year. But our government team considered your sincerity."

"That's right—your sincere arrival is why we can give you a discount, so the rent is 500 yuan per mu per year. In other words, the annual rent is 5 million, and we will ignore the remaining small change."

"Third, none of the over a thousand workers may be dismissed, and their wages must be increased by another 20% on top of the existing salary package. I am considering this for you; when the owner or management changes, employees inevitably feel resistance and become slack."

"To get the factory back on track quickly, we must improve their welfare. Moreover, before you arrived, before the previous management changed, the original plan was to raise everyone's salary by 50%; you are essentially getting a bargain."

"Fourth, tax matters—there is nothing to negotiate. We attract investment so that enterprises can pay taxes. Not to mention a three‑year tax exemption; three years is not possible."

"Fifth and most critical point: you pay 80 million and also pay three years' rent in one lump sum, which is 110 million. But you will only hold 45% of the winery's shares; the remaining 55% belongs to Lieshan Xian County Party Committee and County Government."

"Regarding this, I will give you a special explanation; there are two reasons."

"First, the Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery is originally a state‑owned enterprise. I'm sure you have dealt with many domestic companies, especially ones like ours that were once famous state enterprises; if we transferred all inventory to you, that would be embezzlement and resale of state assets."

"If that were the case, the four of us here would probably have to sing the iron‑cell tears later."

"The second reason is to nip problems in the bud; we cannot let the painful lessons of history repeat. Previously, after a company grew strong on its own, it acted duplicitously toward our government, even countered our County Party Committee and County Government, relying on its status as a major taxpayer and the various honors of its executives, representatives, etc., to do evil in the county."

"I think this is not only our concern; even the Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government, and even the Provincial Party Committee will closely monitor."

"Of course, all operational autonomy will be given to you. But on the other hand, with rights come responsibilities; any adverse effects or consequences must be borne by you."

"What I have just said is the transfer plan drafted after a collective decision by the County Party Committee and County Government. The three CEOs can deliberate on the spot; if there are issues, you can handle them internally."

Su Yang's words fell, and the room fell into dead silence. This time, it was even more excessive than Tian Xiaofei's earlier pretentiousness.

Not only Tian Xiaofei, Teng Huayuan, and Niu Aiguo felt their ears were malfunctioning, but Chen Bo, Zhou Yanru, and the third person also felt their brains had suddenly gone stupid.

Especially Chen Bo, after a brief shock, lightly kicked Su Yang's foot from under the table, meaning: Are you crazy?

This surpasses the conditions Tian Xiaofei proposed! Even the party holding the initiative wouldn't dare propose this. Just now they said "them," now you are even more outrageous than Huang Shiren!

Zhou Yanru's eyes widened; he has always thought Su Yang was a steady type who shouldn't jeopardize the livelihoods of the Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery's thousands of workers just to prove a point or argue.

If Su Yang hadn't kept his composure, they would suspect he was being controlled by some malicious secret technique. If this got out, the Lieshan Xian County Party Committee and County Government leadership would become famous.

Hou Junlai cleared his throat awkwardly, turned his head hard to the other side, thinking: Never say I know you later; I chose to stand with you because you truly care for the Common People and want to contribute to Lieshan Xian's development, not because I want to cooperate with you while you babble nonsense.

The room remained silent for more than three minutes; Chen Bo tried several times to smooth things over for Su Yang, but now it's not the same as the opening.

Su Yang is the number‑one figure in their County Party Committee and County Government leadership team; if someone now steps up to smooth things for Su Yang, that would be denying what Su Yang just said.

But Su Yang has already made it clear to those present that this is a collective decision of the County Party Committee and County Government, which is essentially a direct slap to Su Yang's face, making him lose face and also embarrassing everyone.

If they don't help to smooth it over, Su Yang would end up punching himself in the face, which would be even more painful.

For a moment, even the quick‑tongued, clever she was at a loss; even he thought that if it still didn't work, at the final signing they could lie that they received a call from Municipal Party Committee leaders saying they must personally oversee, and that seemed the only way.

However, Su Yang was very certain and repeated again: "Three CEOs, was I not clear enough just now? Do you need me to repeat? By the way, it's my fault; the things I just said were already in written form, but I forgot to bring them in my haste. I will have someone send them over for you to review; every clause is written clearly."

After Su Yang finished, he clapped his hands toward the conference room door, and Shi Haoyun came in with several documents, handing each person a copy.

Chen Bo and the other two were completely stunned: "County Magistrate Su is really serious now? And they were together at noon; when was this prepared? Did they finish it last night?"

But these black‑on‑white papers had already been printed; there was no turning back. Could County Magistrate Su think he has some unique personal charisma? Now they can only think that.

Tian Xiaofei and the other two were already in shock and anger; they had even prepared vulgar curses, but when they saw the black‑on‑white papers…

Whether Tian Xiaofei, Teng Huayuan, or Niu Aiguo, they were like struck by lightning, frozen, staring at Su Yang with mouths open, unable to utter a single word, not even an insult.

Su Yang touched his chin and asked, "I have already explained very clearly just now; is there still anything you don't understand?"

At this moment, Tian Xiaofei finally erupted again: "County Magistrate Su, you are overstepping! Is this your attitude toward cooperation? This is pure exploitation, plunder, and oppression! You might as well block the road and rob!"
