Chapter 46 The Difficult Road
This morning, several masters went out together to cut down tree obstacles.
This is one of .
Clear the tree obstacles, otherwise it will affect the line tripping. Each time the line trips, the station will deduct 500 yuan.
This regulation is also awesome.
Chu Yang usually didn't do this kind of rough work, so he was able to flirt with Sister Lian in the station, you teasing me, I teasing you, and they were having a lot of fun. Director Yin came back and asked Chu Yang to go out with him. Seeing his anxious look, Chu Yang knew that there must be some kind of dispute again.
"Just pay him 500, let him rob it."
"I dare to think that these unruly people don't have a penny."
"Just wait, I'll be there soon."
On the way, Director Yin was smoking, swearing on the phone and driving at the same time. He was doing three things at once. The road was a mountainous one and he almost flew off the cliff several times when he turned back. Chu Yang was really scared and could only pray for his life.
I don't know how they are still alive, and as a subordinate you can't say anything about him. This is why Chu Yang doesn't like to work with the director, his driving is too exciting.
Of course, another reason was that the director did not allow him to go up to the building, and Chu Yang was still brooding over this matter.
"Chu Yang, these poor mountain people are really difficult to deal with. Go there and record their faces. When they pretend to be dead, we can have an explanation."
So this is what the director meant by bringing me along.
"Director, what's going on?" Chu Yang asked curiously. He had seen the director being very versatile, eating and drinking everywhere, and being familiar with the sewers of widows in the surrounding villages. Was there anything or anyone he couldn't handle?
It turned out that due to the repeated tripping of the 10kV Yungan line, the old master strengthened patrols. In the morning, he found that the branches in several places were too close to the line and did not meet the power supply safety standards.
Just when they were about to cut down three Huanghuali trees, a man named Xu Laosan appeared out of nowhere and said that the trees were his and refused to let them be cut down, charging five hundred yuan for each one.
In fact, any discerning person can see that this rosewood tree is wild and has nothing to do with his family. It just grows near his fish pond. However, when he saw that it was profitable, he insisted that it was planted in his family. It is outrageous.
Of course, even if it is planted by his family, according to the Electricity Compensation Law: For non-economic trees: 20 yuan per tree with a diameter of less than 5 cm; 30 yuan per tree with a diameter of 6 to 10 cm; 50 yuan per tree with a diameter of 11 to 20 cm; 80 yuan per tree with a diameter of more than 21 to 30 cm; 100 yuan per tree with a diameter of more than 31 cm;
The master craftsman also measured the radius of the trees, which was at most about 12 centimeters, so the maximum compensation was 50 yuan per tree. However, Xu Laosan felt that the compensation was too little and refused to pay, so the two sides came to a stalemate.
The old master then reported to the director. In the company, it is correct and necessary to report to the leader when you are in doubt. This is a very good way to shirk responsibility and pass the buck. It is an essential skill.
After Chu Yang followed Yin Suo out of the car, he saw a large fish pond at a glance. There were three pear trees next to it. The height of the trees was almost approaching our power lines, and they had to be cut down.
Two masters from the institute picked up machetes and stood on one side. Opposite them were three people, an uncle, an aunt, and a child. Each of them hugged a tree, just like a hen protecting her chicks.
He refused to move at all and looked ready for battle. It was like a man on the tree was standing still. But he even called the child to do so. Isn't that a bit too bad?
It seems that the term "troublemaker" is not an exaggeration, although Chu Yang is also a farmer.
"Yin Suo, you decide what to do. The Xu family is determined not to let us cut them down. If we do, they will fight you to the death."
Master Zhang was very upset and came to complain to Yin. He had already communicated with Yin, but the other party just ignored him.
The director pursed his lips, walked to the front with a nonchalant look, and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Xu Laosan, do you know what you are doing? Your tree has already threatened the safety of power supply. According to the rules, it must be cut down."
"Captain Yin, I didn't say you can't cut it down. Once the compensation is paid, I will let you cut it down immediately." Xu Laosan sniffed.
"Is this tree yours? I see it is wild. Why should I give you money?" the director replied.
"What do you mean wild? This is the fish pond I contracted. I planted this tree to provide shade for my fish pond. Director Yin, you have to be responsible for what you say." Xu Laosan looked like a rogue and refused to give in.
Providing shade for the fish is a good reason.
"Xu Laosan, even if it's yours, according to our company's regulations, you can only be compensated 50 yuan for a tree of this size. How dare you ask for 500?" Director Yin replied.
Xu Laosan was dissatisfied: "Why? When the Dahe , the mango trees in Xu Haiqiao's house were 300 yuan each. My tree is taller than theirs, why is it 50 yuan? You are bullying us honest people. I know you are familiar with Xu Haiqiao's wife."
The director blushed a little and retorted: "Others are fruit trees, and their nature is the same as yours."
"500 per tree, otherwise there is no room for negotiation." Xu Laosan answered firmly, with a tone that did not allow for negotiation.
Director Yin waved his hand: "500 is impossible. Your offer does not comply with company regulations. You will not get a penny."
Xu Laosan snorted coldly: "Then don't chop. If you have the guts, chop us." This meant he was determined to fight to the death.
"I'm going to find your village chief to see why you are so arrogant."
The director was so angry with him that he threatened to go find the village chief.
"It's no use looking for the mayor. This is my tree, he has no right to control it." Xu Laosan sat on the ground, ignoring his gaze.
Chu Yang had actually been observing, wondering whether or not to step forward.
Now that I'm tied to the power supply station, there's no point in hiding my abilities.
So he immediately stopped the director and said loudly, "Director, if he doesn't want to cut it down, then forget it. Anyway, when the line is blocked by the trees and the power outage occurs, it will only affect him. Why should we rush?"
The director understood something when he heard it, and said with a grin, "Yes, Xu Laosan, I am here to warn you again. It was you who didn't let us cut down the tree. If the line trips, your whole village will be without electricity. Don't ask us to fix it, just fix it yourself."
Xu Laosan was a little panicked: "Don't try to accuse me, I didn't say that. You power company shouldn't bully people. You want to cut down trees without paying. You are robbing."
Chu Yang stepped forward again and said, "Xu Lao San, are you sure you planted all these trees?"
"Of course, I dug this sapling myself."
Chu Yang nodded: "Very good, I have recorded the video. Xu Laosan, you must keep your word. According to our Electricity Law, it is strictly forbidden to plant such high-pole plants under high-voltage lines. You have planted Huanghuali trees in this place, which has seriously violated our "Electricity Law" and "Electricity Facilities Protection Regulations" and other laws and regulations. Our power supply company has the right to cut down your trees without any compensation. If you insist on obstructing it, then when the trees you planted damage the power equipment, we can hold you accountable for the relevant legal responsibilities, and you will have to compensate us for our losses. It's up to you to decide."
Chu Yang had dealt with similar disputes in his previous life and was very familiar with such electricity laws, so he said this in a very domineering and confident manner, which immediately shocked Xu Lao San.
"You~ No, what did you say? I didn't plant it. The tree grew on its own..."
"It grew on its own, as you said. So it's none of your business if we cut it down. Xu Laosan, what do you want to do?" The director immediately seized his loophole.
"It grows next to my fish pond, so it belongs to me too."
Xu Laosan was also in a dilemma.
Chu Yang's tone softened at this time: "Xu Lao San, we are not bullying you. We can do it for you according to the initial standard of 50 per tree. If you want more, we can't do it. You can do it yourself. If it doesn't work, we will leave."
In fact, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't agree, because they can just come back after dark, cut it secretly and be done with it, and then leave. Even if he goes to the company to make a scene, it will be useless because he is not in the right at all.
Moreover, Chu Yang knew that he didn't have the courage to do so. As for giving him 50, it was because Chu Yang felt that the company was not short of money and it was not easy for others either.
Xu Laosan thought for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, 50 is 50, let's go, it's really unlucky." Finally, he saw that he couldn't get much advantage, and might even have to take responsibility, so he took his wife and children and left.
"Chu Yang, that's right. People who have received education are indeed different from us rough folks. They even know the law. What you said made me stunned. This Xu Lao San must be stupid." Several old masters praised him happily.
But the director came over and complained: "Chu Yang, you shouldn't have agreed to give him 50 yuan. You should not have given him a penny. He is not in the right at all. It will be very troublesome to go back and handle the reimbursement process. You will have to find several leaders to sign and stamp it."
Yes, we need to find Mr. Xie to get reimbursed, and it will cost several hundred yuan. The director was very reluctant to do such a thing. Chu Yang didn't know what was wrong with him. It might be because the director blocked his way last time. He was very unhappy and retorted: "Director, if we are a little troublesome, we can satisfy the people. Why not do it? Besides, the compensation of 50 yuan per tree is also in line with the company's standards."
Director Yin didn't expect Chu Yang to choke him, and frowned: "Chu Yang's thinking is not good, the position has not changed. We are a power supply company, not a charity. We don't have much money, but every time we go to the leader, what do the leaders think of us?"
Chu Yang disagreed and replied: "But we are a power company with a sense of social responsibility. We are a responsible company that puts the people first. I think it is right to fight for some benefits for the people in a reasonable and compliant manner. The leaders will understand."
The director had a cold expression and seemed uncomfortable. He didn't say anything and got into the car and went back.
Chu Yang knew that he was on a difficult road.
