Chapter 338 Becoming a Defendant
One morning half a month later, at about nine o'clock, a Mercedes-Benz G500 drove into the construction site of Changda Real Estate Company in the south of the city. Preparations were being made here for the start of construction. The car stopped in front of a simple work shed, and from the car
A middle-aged man in his fifties came down, with an above-average build, wearing a Mark & Levis casual suit and brand-name casual shoes. He walked into the work shed without waiting for anyone inside to ask him,
The visitor first asked: "Which of you is in charge here?"
There were a lot of things to clean up on the construction site, so Lao Xue asked Daguang and Erqiang to come over and help take care of them for a while. Faced with the questions from the visitors, several people present did not answer, and Erqiang asked back: "Excuse me, where are you?"
Who are you looking for?"
"I'm from out of town and stopped by to take a look." The visitor did not give his name.
"Excuse me, what's the matter with you?"
"I would like to ask, have all the graves that were in this land been moved?"
"This... has been moved away." Erqiang thought to himself, could this person be looking for his ancestral grave?
"How was it moved? What procedures were passed? Does anyone know?" The visitor asked a series of questions.
"It seems that notices were made in advance. For the graves that were claimed, each family would be compensated for moving the graves in accordance with the policy. For the unowned graves, the project party funded the purchase of a place and moved them to a hillside outside." Erqiang explained.
.
"This is not an appropriate way to deal with it! You just made a notice in the media in Huayuan City, how will those people in other places know about this?"
Obviously, this person came here just to look for his ancestral grave. He was not satisfied with the explanation given by the second strongman, and he had a look of displeasure on his face.
"If you want to find fault with this matter, you have to ask the senior leaders. We all work in detail and do everything according to the instructions above."
The visitor felt that what he said was reasonable, and he could not solve any problem by chatting here with a bunch of workers for a long time. He wanted to find an explanation from the manager.
As soon as the Mercedes-Benz G500 left, Daguang said to the second strongman: "He will look for whoever he likes, just ignore him."
At about ten o'clock, this Mercedes-Benz G500 drove into the courtyard of Changda Real Estate Company's Huayuan City office. The car stopped in front of the building. The middle-aged man who got out of the car climbed a few steps and pushed the door into the lobby on the first floor.
He walked straight to the security guard sitting at the "Visitor Registration Office" table and asked, "Who is the person in charge here?"
"Who are you? Who are you looking for? Please register here first," the security guard said.
"I'm from out of town and passed by here to have a look."
"Sir, what can I do for you?" the security guard continued to ask politely.
"Let me ask, have all the graves on the land your company acquired in Chengnan Village been moved?"
"Well..., I'm just a security guard. I don't know these things. You should ask our leader."
"Look, as soon as I entered the door, I asked who was in charge here. You can tell me this time, right?"
"We have many leaders here, which one are you looking for?"
"Of course it's the big leader who has the final say!"
"That's Mr. Xue, please wait a moment, I'll call his office."
After the security report, the visitor went up to the second floor and arrived at the door of Executive Vice President Lao Xue's office. He reached out and knocked on the door a few times, "Please come in!"
The door opened, and Lao Xue looked up at the person coming: "Excuse me, are you...?"
"Are you Mr. Xue? I'm from out of town, my name is Yang Wenjian, Mu Yiyang, culture is the key to health." The visitor introduced himself, took out a business card, and handed it over with both hands.
Lao Xue took the business card
After looking at it, he said, "Oh, Manager Yang, welcome! Please take a seat." After saying that, he stood up and shook hands with the visitor.
After sitting down on a single sofa, Yang Wenjian asked: “Mr.
Lao Xue put a cup of freshly brewed tea on the coffee table in front of Yang Wenjian, "We just finished cleaning up the ground, and there are still some preparations to be done. The construction won't officially start until the spring of next year. Manager Yang is here today, what's the matter?"
"As he said that, Lao Xue pulled up a chair and sat opposite Lao Yang.
"That's right, Mr. Xue, my hometown is from Chengnan Village. Doesn't your company want to engage in real estate development on the land in the south of the city?"
"Yes, what happened to that piece of land? Does it include your family's land?"
"No, no, no, I don't care about that land. Our hometown did have land in the village, but that was all many years ago. Twenty years ago, my eldest brother and his family went to other provinces, and we haven't farmed since.
In the 1990s, when the village adjusted the land, we handed over all the contracted land." Yang Wenjian said.
"Oh, what does Manager Yang mean by asking about that land...?" Lao Xue looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"Because that land contains my family's ancestral graves. In the early 1980s, my grandparents passed away one after another, so they were buried in the land we just contracted."
"Is your contracted land exactly on the land purchased by our company?" Lao Xue had a premonition that something was about to happen.
"It's true. In the 1990s, although the family's contracted land was handed over, the ancestral graves remained in place."
"Manager Yang, when it comes to this matter, we really take this matter very seriously. After Changda Real Estate Company completed the land procedures, for the sake of caution, we made a notice in the local media, and the land acquisition department also followed the policies and regulations of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Each family concerned was given a considerable amount of compensation for moving their graves. In the end, our Changda Real Estate Company did not dispose of the graves that were indeed unclaimed. Instead, we spent money to find places outside and collect them.
They moved out. In this sense, our company should have done everything possible." Lao Xue, who has many years of administrative work experience, explained everything clearly.
"Mr. Xue, if you make an announcement in the local media, we can't see it in other places!"
"This..." Lao Xue choked at the other party's words, "Manager Yang, it is impossible for Changda Real Estate to make a notice in the national media for such a small thing! There is no one in your family in the village.
What about those relatives and friends, they didn’t even notify you?"
"We are just two brothers. After my eldest brother Yang Wenqiang established a foothold in another place, I followed him there. After another five or six years, we took over the two families and their parents. Maybe no one among relatives or friends cared about this matter.
I passed by Huayuan City on a business trip this time, and I went back to the village for a trip yesterday, and I didn’t find out until I heard someone talk about it." Yang Wenjian said.
"Look at what happened. We have always taken this matter very seriously, and we definitely didn't mean to be disrespectful to anyone." Xue Jianqing also felt very sorry.
"Now that it's like this, I have nothing to say, but I think your company's handling of this matter is still a bit sloppy and inappropriate."
After all, someone's ancestral grave was dug up. Lao Xue understood Yang Wenjian's mood at this time. Although he did not agree with Yang Wenjian's statement at all, he did not refute it and just let the other party vent his anger.
"But Manager Yang, we really didn't do it on purpose. It's not surprising if you don't know. I hope you can understand." Lao Xue said.
"Farewell!" Yang Wenjian stood up and walked away without even saying goodbye to Xue Jianqing, with obvious anger on his face.
Out of understanding the other person’s mood
The reason is that Xue Jianqing didn't pay attention to Yang Wenjian's rude behavior. He smiled awkwardly, looked at the other party's back, and shook his head.
About a week later, Xue Jianqing was handling official business in the office. The staff in the communication room sent him an email. He saw that the sender was the local People's Court. He quickly opened it and saw that it was a court summons. It turned out that Chang
Da Real Estate Company was sued in court, and the court required its legal representative to go to court to respond.
Since the legal representative of Changda Real Estate Company was Guan Yuntian, Lao Xue did not dare to delay for a moment, and he immediately reported the situation to Guan Yuntian.
Because Changda Group has a permanent legal advisor, Guan Yuntian did not panic at all after he learned about the situation. He grabbed the phone in front of him and said, "Lawyer Zhao? Hello! I need your help with something now. Changda Real Estate
The company has just been sued in court. Send someone to the Xincheng District Court of Huayuan City to learn about the case. Then go to our office in Huayuan City to find Mr. Xue and get the court summons back."
After lawyer Zhao went to the court to inquire, he learned that the plaintiffs were brothers Yang Wenqiang and Yang Wenjian, and the defendant was of course Changda Real Estate Company. There was only one content in the lawsuit, that is, the defendant moved the plaintiff's ancestral graves without the plaintiff's consent. The content of the complaint:
The plaintiff was awarded one million yuan in moral consolation, and advertisements were placed in major media in Huayuan City for a week to apologize to the plaintiff. Finally, it specified the location and exact location of the plaintiff's ancestral graves.
Unknowingly, Changda Real Estate Company became the defendant!
It turned out that after Yang Wenjian came out of Lao Xue's office, he returned to the hotel where he was staying and immediately called his elder brother Yang Wenqiang to tell him that the company that occupied the land had moved his family's ancestral graves without permission.
After Yang Wenqiang learned about this incident, he was very angry and immediately decided to sue Changda Real Estate Company. Therefore, Yang Wenjian found a law firm in Huayuan City that day, paid the agency fees and litigation fees in advance, and entrusted the law firm with full authority.
handle this matter.
Except for the fact that Changda Property Company was the plaintiff three years ago when it sued some property owners for defaulting on property fees and had a lawsuit with others, the entire Changda Group has never had to go to court with anyone over the years, and this is the first time that it has been a defendant.
When encountering such a thing, Lao Xue expressed self-blame, thinking that he did not handle the matter well.
Guan Yuntian knew the reason, and said with relief: "It has nothing to do with you at all. It's obvious that this is another person who came to look for trouble. You don't need to blame yourself, and don't worry. First find out who the other person is."
"The specific situation is still unclear. From the limited conversation with the other party, we only know that the two brothers were from Chengnan Village more than 20 years ago. It is said that the family later moved to another place."
"You ask our lawyer to investigate the other party's background first." Guan Yuntian was unhurried and very calm about this.
After some investigation, Lawyer Zhao and his assistant learned that the eldest son of the Yang family, Yang Wenqiang, had briefly served in the military in the late 1970s. After demobilization, in the mid-1980s, he broke the opponent's arm in a fight.
He escaped and was wanted by the public security organs. He abandoned his wife and children and ran out of the province to join a comrade with whom he had a good relationship. He first worked there to make ends meet. After more than a year, he discovered business opportunities and started a small business.
After three or four years of hard work, the business has reached a certain scale.
In that fight, the other party was not seriously injured. It was just a minor criminal case. After the prosecution period, no one would pursue it anymore. Seeing that his business was getting bigger and bigger, Yang Wenqiang called his hometown and asked his brother
Yang Wenjian went to help him. The brothers may have been lucky. They were catching up with the golden period of entrepreneurship in the early 1990s. In just two or three years, their business was quite large.
Subsequently, the Yang brothers bought houses locally and brought all their families and parents over. Since then, they have basically cut off contact with their hometown. According to insiders, the brothers now have about five or six assets.
