Liu Chan didn't want to blow things up since it wouldn't do him any good and could even land him in jail. Thus, to resolve the matter with minimal cost, he used both soft and hard tactics on Ye Qingping.
In fact, the wages for tens of thousands of people only added up to nearly ten million, which wasn't much for him. However, his company was on the brink of bankruptcy, so why should he pay the salaries of those workers? This was Liu Chan's selfish and despicable thought.
Liu Chan had fallen into a gambling addiction, harming others and himself, not to mention becoming extremely ruthless.
Currently, he didn't have much cash flow left, not enough to pay wages. The expenses for bribery and hiring Wu Dahai were considerable. Next, he planned to start selling off the factory's equipment and land.
