The family members looked at the compensation amount on the agreement and immediately voiced their objections.
"Only 680,000 for a life?"
"I can't agree to this kind of agreement."
The family members threw the agreement on the table.
Song Guanchao patiently said, "This figure wasn't decided arbitrarily; it's the result of extensive calculations to arrive at this compensation amount."
"I didn't start by offering you two or three hundred thousand and then bargain up to 680,000 because that's pointless."
"The district government sat down with you all to discuss this in order to resolve the matter."
"Also, as I've mentioned, if everything were handled strictly according to the law, you wouldn't receive any compensation at all."
Song Guanchao's meaning was clear: increasing the amount was impossible.
However, they still felt it was too little, and for a moment, the negotiations reached a stalemate.
