The boss of the apocalypse travels back to the 1970s with space

Hearing Wei Lai's words, Xia Meng kept smiling and said,

"Well... Mr. Wang came to see Mr. Wei, it must be because of business matters, business matters... Maybe this is your business secret, Mr. Wei, I can't ask about it."

Wei Lai laughed out loud, "Governor Xia, you're joking. You're one of us!"

"Don't!" Xia Meng kept smiling, but her words did not give any face at all.

"I am me, Mr. Wei is Mr. Wei, we are two people!"

After hearing what Xia Meng said, Wei Lai's mouth twitched, and he admitted his mistake with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, Governor Xia is right. I overstepped my bounds."

Wei Lai, "Governor Xia..., I don't want to complain to you, but..., you also know how bad the current business environment is. It is not easy for us to run the company now. Of course..."

"I know the workers are working very hard, but we can't hold on any longer. Governor Xia, please help us!"

Xia Meng just wanted to laugh...

Look at the soft carpets, luxurious dresses, rich dishes, beautiful music, and mellow wine...

Which one can ordinary people enjoy nowadays?

The disaster victims are working hard just to have a full meal, but what about these people?

He used to be a life of luxury, and even in the end of the world, he still did not change his bad habits...

Are you still playing the victim?

Do you feel that your life is not as good as before, so you feel wronged?

They never look down at ordinary people to see how they live.

Few of them have empathy. They just want to live a carefree life. As for ordinary people, they are nothing more than cattle and horses, nothing more than the lower class, nothing more than objects of arrogance that they cannot see and do not want to see.

Why would they care about how ordinary people live.

"This is not right," Xia Meng said bluntly.

"Although the world is a bit chaotic right now, due to the shortage of various materials, the products produced by Wei's company should not have trouble selling. The government alone has purchased a lot, right?"

Wei Lai sighed, looked at Xia Meng and said,

"Governor Xia, you don't know that although the sales of our company's products are not a problem, the price of raw materials has increased dramatically!"

"The earthquake destroyed many roads, which affected transportation. Both transportation costs and procurement costs increased significantly."

This is indeed a problem, and Wei Lai is not talking nonsense.

Xia Meng pondered for a moment and said,

"The government will find a way to deal with this, but the workers' welfare cannot be reduced!"

Wei Lai's old face immediately fell, and he looked at Xia Meng helplessly.

"We all know that Governor Xia loves the people like his own children, but you can't just ignore our lives, right?"

Xia Meng frowned, "What do you mean by loving the people like one's own children? We are supposed to serve the people."

"Besides, you are in trouble. Are you more troubled than ordinary people?"

"Oh, Governor Xia," Wei Lai said helplessly, "You can't just think about the common people, right? Besides, we are not common people."

Haha, when have you ever considered yourselves ordinary people?

Xia Meng, "I know about the increase in costs. I will hold a meeting and propose appropriate tax reductions, but the workers' welfare must be guaranteed!"

The smile on Wei Lai's face had disappeared. He looked straight at Xia Meng and said in a very firm tone,

"Governor Xia, I know you mean well, but if you insist on doing this, my company will probably go bankrupt soon."

At this time, the music ended, Xia Meng let go of her hand, and Wei Lai took a step back, looking at Xia Meng quietly, waiting for Xia Meng's answer.

Xia Meng pursed her lips.

"I came here today to resolve this matter. In this case, let's talk freely. Let's go to the meeting room!"

Wei Lai thought about it and said, "Okay!"

So, Wei Lai first asked his assistant to take Xia Meng to the spacious conference room, and he himself invited some business friends and bosses to the conference room for a meeting.

Those who stayed behind continued to eat, drink and have fun.

Xia Meng waited in the spacious conference room for a while, and then Wei Lai came with his people.

There were more than twenty people in total. When they came to the conference room and saw Xia Meng, they greeted Xia Meng first, and then found a seat and sat down.

After everyone sat down, Xia Meng glanced at everyone's faces before slowly saying,

"Everyone can speak freely, say whatever you want, I will listen!"

Although not many people died in Tangzhou in this earthquake, the death toll from natural disasters has been increasing every year in recent years. In addition to this earthquake, chaos occurred in various places and victims were everywhere. The power of Governor Xia Meng has become even greater invisibly.

In addition, Xia Meng's business in Tangzhou in recent years has made many people admire her. After all, Xia Meng is really not greedy! And she really does it when she has something to do!

When Wei Lai heard Xia Meng's words, he subconsciously glanced at the other colleagues sitting beside him, and then took the initiative to speak,

"Since Governor Xia has said so, I won't hide anything anymore. I'll just say whatever I want to say."

Xia Meng nodded, "Okay!"

Wei Lai, "I told Governor Xia before that due to the earthquake, many roads were destroyed, many raw material areas were in chaos, and there were many disaster victims, which led to insufficient supply of raw materials and soaring prices. So we can only increase product prices and cut employee benefits."

"Governor Xia, we have no choice but to do this."

After hearing what Wei Lai said, the others nodded in agreement.

"Governor Xia," someone stood up after Wei Lai stopped talking and looked at Xia Meng and said,

"It's not that we don't sympathize with the workers, it's just that... we are powerless!"

"Yes, Governor Xia, there is nothing we can do!"

Everyone has spoken out, saying they want to cut workers' benefits and wages, and extend working hours, but of course there will be no overtime pay for overtime work.

Xia Meng waited for everyone to finish speaking before she spoke,

"I understand everyone's difficulties and I will find ways to solve them, but I will not compromise on workers' welfare, wages, and working hours."

Everyone looked unhappy when they saw Xia Meng was so stubborn.

Wei Lai narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Meng.

"If Governor Xia doesn't give in, our company really won't be able to continue operating."

Xia Meng, "As for the problem of rising raw material prices, the government will subsidize everyone."

When they heard that there would be official subsidies, everyone's faces looked much better.

This is not unacceptable.

Wei Lai, "Governor Xia, how long can Tangzhou's finances last?"

Xia Meng, "Now that I've said it, I can solve this problem. President Wei just needs to do his job well!"

Wei Lai saw that Xia Meng refused to compromise, and his eyes darkened.

"Governor Xia, when President Wang came to see me, he said that you threatened him with the safety of the industrial zone. Is this true?"

After hearing Wei Lai's words, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Meng again.

Xia Meng faced everyone's gaze calmly and said with a smile,

"How can that be a threat? It's the truth!"

"Now everyone knows that order is in chaos. In order to maintain order, we need to send special people to patrol. The official team is expanding. Doesn't it cost money?"

"You all have difficulties, don't the authorities have difficulties?"

"If you can guarantee the welfare of the workers and allow them to work with peace of mind, then the government can pay for this expenditure."

“But if you exploit the workers and seek high profits for yourselves, then the workers will become a destabilizing factor. When the workers start to rebel, do we have to help you suppress them?”

"We serve the people and the interests of the majority. If you cause dissatisfaction among the workers and cause the relatively stable Tangzhou to become chaotic, then... do you think you can stay out of it?"

"Now there are disaster victims everywhere, and many other places are in chaos. If Tangzhou is also in chaos, where are you going to go then?"

"Going abroad?"

Xia Meng snorted and laughed, "Do you need me to help you recall the tragic situation abroad?"

"It's not easy for us to maintain the current stability! This requires the efforts of everyone!"

"You can indeed get high profits by exploiting the workers, but if chaos breaks out, the money will become waste paper and useless! What do you want to do with all that money? What can you do? Burn paper for yourself?"

"I just want to ask you, if chaos breaks out, where can you go?"

"Of course, some people have planes and can go to the capital, but if other places are in chaos, how long can the order in the capital be maintained? Don't you make plans for the future?"

"You don't have any offspring? Or do you think the future environment will be even worse and you plan to live one day at a time?"

Xia Meng's words were tantamount to pointing at these people's noses and scolding them, "Short-sighted," which made these big bosses very uncomfortable. Their faces felt hot, as if they had been slapped twice.

"Governor Xia, this is... serious, isn't it?" Wei Lai forced a smile.

Xia Meng raised her eyebrows and looked at Wei Lai, "Why, do you want to say that I am exaggerating?"

Wei Lai didn't dare to confront Xia Meng openly, so he immediately said,

"Of course not, it's just... I also have contact with friends from other places, how can it be as... messy as you say?"

"If you think I'm threatening you," Xia Meng stared at Wei Lai with a half-smile in her eyes,

"Then you don't have to believe it. You can even move the company out of Tangzhou!"

Wei Lai's face changed and he said nothing.

But Wei Lai quietly glanced at a CEO sitting not far away. His company was relatively small, but Wei Lai had always cooperated with them. They relied on Wei Lai for their meals. After receiving the message from Wei Lai, the man immediately stood up and said,

"Governor Xia, are you going to kick us out?"

Xia Meng turned her head and squinted her eyes to look at the man, her tone somewhat contemptuous.

"What you said... is really hurtful!"

"I am clearly planning for you all, for everyone's long-term benefit, how could you misunderstand me?"

"Tangzhou's development today is inseparable from everyone's strong support, especially Tangzhou's business, which has developed so well in just a few years and provided a large number of jobs for the people. It is inseparable from your hard work, but..."

Xia Meng's tone became more serious. "Your company has expanded a lot in the past few years, right? What did you rely on?"

"Bang!" Xia Meng slapped the table with a loud noise. The sudden noise frightened several bosses so much that their bodies trembled and their eyes immediately became clearer.

Everyone stared at Xia Meng with wide eyes.

Xia Meng scanned the entire room before continuing,

"It depends on official support! It depends on the stability of Tangzhou's order! It depends on the hard work of the workers!"

"You have made a lot of money in the past few years, right?"

"Let me ask you, if the world becomes chaotic, how will you spend all that money? Will you farm the land yourself? Or will you go to work?"

"I think it's hard for you to live a normal life. There are robbers and disaster victims everywhere. If you carry supplies with you, where do you think you can go?"
