In 1998, spring in the birch forest seemed to come later than usual. Hua Steel Factory recently made big news. Hong Kong businessman Lu Wenzhong, who had negotiated a steel business of 800,000 yuan with Director Song, was actually a fake Hong Kong businessman.
But others have now withdrawn their money and ran away. As for the steel, they naturally don't have it. If it continues, Hua Steel Factory is likely to face a situation where it has no raw materials and cannot start operations.
This suddenly made the already shaky Huagang Factory become even more panicked and dangerous.
Song Yukun also became the target of beatings in the factory. After all, he advocated this business. Many people even suspected that there was something fishy in it. Was it because Song Yukun had benefited from the fake Hong Kong businessman that he helped him? Come to Kenghua Steel Factory together.
If this is confirmed, it would be a serious crime of embezzling state-owned assets. After receiving the report, Song Yukun was quickly taken away by the review team sent by his superiors for investigation. However, Hua Steel Factory suddenly became leaderless and production stagnated. Firstly, there was no raw materials, and secondly, no one was interested in working.
At first, everyone thought that they should not be laid off, but now they should quickly lay off their jobs and find new jobs. Everyone knows that Hua Steel Factory is a broken ship now. If you don't jump out of the ship now, wait until it sinks completely before jumping out?
Only a handful of people, including Wang Xiang, remained unmoved. However, Wang Xiang actually can't hold on for much longer. His son Wang Yang is now in school, and his wife Luo Meisu is sick and has no job. He has to support the family by himself. If he only relies on his savings, it will be stretched at this rate.
And just a week before Labor Day, he finally got a piece of rare good news.
"Mr. Li is back!"
"Which Mr. Li?"
"Isn't it the same Mr. Li who talked to Factory Director Song before and said he wanted to invest money to help the steel factory restructure?"
"It's a Hong Kong businessman again, and it's also fake, right?"
"I said both of them were false before, but now at least this one dares to come back, so it shouldn't be false."
"Then Hua Steel Factory can be saved, isn't it?"
"It's hard to say. In this situation, are people still willing to invest?"
"Yes, and everyone said he was a liar before. If he hears about these rumors, if he gets angry and doesn't want to invest, what will you do?" Wang Xiang couldn't help being pleasantly surprised after hearing the discussion. He walked in and asked, "Mr. Li is really back?!"
"He really came back. I heard that he brought a large amount of steel, and there were also investors from Hong Kong Island who came to inspect..."
"I knew it, I knew it..." Wang Xiang was so excited that he couldn't help himself. In the past three or four months, he had quarreled with countless people over Li Yong's matter.
He was firmly on Li Yong's side and felt that he would definitely not lie. But others said that he was a liar just like Lu Wenzhong. Wang Xiang could not convince them and could only remain stubborn.
Fortunately, because of this matter, he actually coincided with his son Wang Yang. Wang Yang also believed that Li Yong was not fake. At most, he was delayed because of something.
Unknowingly, the two father and son reached a consensus on one thing for the first time because of an outsider, and their relationship became much closer.
Not long after, this rumor became a reality, and Gong Biao, who had left with Li Yong before, appeared.
Although Gong Biao has only been away for three or four months now, his whole temperament seems to have changed greatly, not only because of his well-matched suits and leather shoes, but also because of his confidence.
After he came back, he immediately contacted the leadership of the factory, and then came forward to give reassurance to the remaining workers in the steel plant, saying that he was helping Li Yong in the front line, and when the raw materials would be shipped later, Li Yong would also bring them Come with money and people.
He wanted to discuss specific cooperation matters with people in the factory first, and finalize the overall framework before arriving there.
It turned out that this was just a freshman college student who was said to be talkative and weak at work. And for various reasons, many old people in the factory didn't think highly of him.
But now Gong Biao feels like he has settled down and looks much more reliable. Wang Xiang naturally saw an opportunity, grabbed Gong Biao, and asked him about Li Yong.
Gong Biao recognized Wang Xiang and thought of Li Yong's previous instructions. It happened that he also needed an opportunity to understand the situation of Hua Steel Factory from the side as soon as possible. After all, he and Li Yong had been away from Hua Lin for a quarter. There is almost no connection here, and the situation here is dark.
Especially here at Huagang Factory, according to Li Yong's calculations, there should be a problem. Gong Biao didn't know why Li Yong was so sure, but he definitely wanted to find out first.
So I told Wang Xiang what Li Yong could tell me, and then asked about what happened at the Hua Steel Factory recently, and then I heard about Lu Wenzhong taking the money and running away.
"How do you say that?" Gong Biao was a little surprised. After hearing what Wang Xiang said, he had nothing to say. Wang Xiang snorted in hindsight: "So, Mr. Li is more reliable. That Lu Wenzhong, I didn't think he was a good person when I looked at him before..." After all, this is actually a lie!
Gong Biao secretly cursed in his heart. He did not expect that the two Hong Kong businessmen in Hualin turned out to be fake.
He followed Li Yong south to Hong Kong Island. When he got there, he naturally knew Li Yong's true identity and why he asked Director Song to arrange an identity for him in the factory, because he himself was a gangster at all. Not from Hong Kong Island.
But even so, Li Yong finally spent more than two months on Hong Kong Island to almost complete the customs clearance, and got the money and connections he needed, which in turn confirmed his identity as a Hong Kong businessman.
Compared with Lu Wenzhong who just ran away after defrauding the money, Li Yong still has a conscience. If he doesn't make money there, he will leave it alone. Instead, he plans to come back to invest, and even brings his friends over there to invest together.
Even if Gong Biao, who had watched the whole process, calmed down and thought about it now, he still found it a bit unbelievable. As for the fact that he had deceived people, now that he thought about it, he felt that it was irrelevant.
He is not such a pedantic person. Isn't there a saying, a black cat or a white cat, the one that catches mice is a good cat. It doesn't matter whether he is a real Hong Kong businessman or a fake Hong Kong businessman. He can bring changes to Hua Steel Factory and can effectively It would be enough if he lived up to the big words he had said before.
Take Factory Director Song as an example. He was the real factory director, but what did he do? Misappropriation of state-owned assets, extramarital affairs, corruption and bribery... It seems that there is nothing bad in this position that he would not dare to do. There is nothing he has done, so this time he was arrested and investigated, and he will definitely be raped in the end. Should he be sentenced to this? It's hard to say, it depends on whether Lu Wenzhong has been caught, because some things still need his testimony to clarify.
"Hey, you haven't found a place to live yet, right? Why don't you stay at my place for the next two days?" Wang Xiang felt happy knowing that Li Yong was coming back and that the steel plant seemed to be saved.
He just wanted someone to share this joy with him, and Gong Biao was undoubtedly the most suitable person.
Gong Biao thought for a while and nodded. In fact, before he came back, he made a special trip back to his home in Shenyang to have a look. After all, he couldn't go back for the Chinese New Year this time, and he felt a little sorry for his family.
When his parents saw him driving back, they almost thought he had done something illegal. Knowing that he was with a Hong Kong businessman, they were still suspicious.
It seems that only if he handles the affairs at the Hua Steel Factory well and truly accomplishes something will he be able to make them look at him in a new light.
