After seeing Yoko off, Zhang Tianhao got into A-Ring's car and drove towards the machinery factory not far from his factory.

Compared with the machinery factory, the situation of other factories is similar. Almost all of them are in a semi-bankrupt state. After all, the Japanese did not develop them at all after taking over.

The car soon arrived at the gate of the machinery factory.

Looking up at the somewhat dilapidated gate of the machinery factory, I saw grass growing in many places inside the gate. It was obvious that there were not many people here to clean it up.

When he arrived at the door, he saw an old man in his fifties standing up and stopping Zhang Tianhao directly.

"Excuse me, this is a machinery factory. What can I do for you?"

After stopping the car, he walked to A-Ring's window and asked loudly.

"This is the boss of this factory. The machinery factory has been taken over by our boss. Open the door!"

A-Ring looked at the old man guarding the door and said seriously.

"Oh, it's the boss. Sorry, sorry. I'll open the door."

The old man was also stunned when he heard this, and he apologized repeatedly, while trotting to the gate and pushing the big iron gate open with force. His movements were much faster than before.

“Ask where the manager is!”

"Yes!"

A-Ring responded, then drove to the old man and asked him a few questions in a low voice.

"What? You are the manager here, why are you guarding the gate there?"

"Yes, our factory has stopped production for more than two years. I have been watching the gate here. After all, it is not easy to find a job. I have no choice. Besides, our factory has no orders, and it is impossible to support myself."

"What's your surname?"

"My surname is Wang, and my given name is An."

"It's Mr. Wang An. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. Today I have notified the managers of the seven factories to hold a meeting here to solve the problems of several factories. After all, if they don't start work, the seven factories will be directly abandoned, which is a pity."

"Director, please come in, please come in. The others haven't arrived yet. According to your notice, the meeting will start at 2pm. It's only 12:40 now. It will probably take at least 50 minutes for others to arrive."

As Wang An spoke, he led Zhang Tianhao to the office not far away.

Although the office was not far away, no one in the entire factory cleaned it up, resulting in a lot of grass in front of the office building that grew as high as the calves, and some even grew as high as the waist.

"By the way, Mr. Wang, I want to ask, what are the conditions of the other seven factories?"

"The situation of the other seven factories is not optimistic either. Only three of them can still operate, but orders are sporadic and it is difficult to even have a full meal. The other three factories were all closed three months ago."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Isn't this just a mess for me?"

When Zhang Tianhao heard this, he was stunned and immediately gave a bitter smile.

"What do the three factories do?"

"One is a sundry goods factory, mainly making some mops, brooms and the like, and the other is a cloth weaving factory, but the skills are not good enough, so they can only make some coarse cloth and sell it in the countryside to earn a living."

"As for the last one, it's a farm tool factory. They make farm tools, knives, pots and the like. After all, these are what we need for life. Although it hasn't closed down, it's pretty much the same. Alas!"

"I see!"

Inside the office, which is also the manager's office, it is obvious that it is cleaned frequently. After all, this is where Wang An works.

Zhang Tianhao sat there, watching A-Ring pour him a glass of water, then looked at Wang An.

He never thought that Qi Teng would give him seven factories. It was really beyond his expectation.

"Wang An, wait a moment, I'll make a call first."

Having said that, he picked up the phone and made a call.

"Hello, please transfer to the office of Colonel Qi Teng of the Military Police!"

After he finished speaking, he started waiting there. After all, the transfer would take some time.

About half a minute later, he heard a familiar voice on the phone. "Hello, this is Qi Teng, what's up?"

"Uncle, it's me, Jingping!"

"Oh, Jingping, what's the matter?"

When Qi Teng heard it was him, he was also stunned and asked directly.

"Uncle, I want to ask you, you gave me seven factories, four of which have closed down, and three are half-dead. How can I give you profit? You think too highly of me!"

"Oh, four factories have closed down, and three are half dead. This shouldn't be the case. Didn't the news here say that these seven factories are fine?"

Qi Teng on the other end of the phone was also stunned, and immediately started talking seriously.

"Uncle, do you think I would lie to you? I am standing at the entrance of this machinery factory. The grass inside is half a person tall. Many of the machinery in the machinery factory are gone, and some are only left with a few machines that are not very useful. Tell me, what is the use of this factory? Isn't this a waste of time?"

"Impossible! The city government promised me everything. How is it possible that the grass is now half a person's height? Wait there, I'll be there right away!"

"All right!"

Zhang Tianhao hung up the phone directly, while Qi Teng Haoji sat there and slowly began to think.

After all, he was not familiar with the conditions of these factories, so he first handed it over to the city government as an agent, and now he has taken it back and is preparing to hand it over to Jingping Jiichiro.

But the problem is that the factory was closed and there was nothing he could do.

"Could it be someone from the city government who stole all the machinery in the factory and sold it? Or maybe they robbed it?"

He couldn't help but frown. After all, this matter was really beyond his expectations.

Then he picked up the phone and called the Economic Committee's office.

"Hello, Director Ming, this is Qi Teng."

"It's Colonel Qi Teng, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this, are you free now, to go somewhere with me?"

"Since the colonel has invited me, I am naturally free. What do you think?"

"Shanghai Lidong Machinery Factory!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away. I'll be waiting for you at the Lidong Machinery Factory!"

When Mingzhi heard this, he still kept a faint smile on his face and hung up the phone.

Then he immediately looked at his secretary Zhou Wei outside the door and shouted loudly: "Xiao Zhou, go call Director Fang over."

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhou immediately walked towards the planning department's office.

Soon, Fang Chongshan came directly to Mingzhi's office with a hint of confusion on his face.

"By the way, Director Ming, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Hehe, Director Fang, how are the factories that the military police originally gave you now?"

"Didn't they hand it back to the Military Police a few days ago? What happened?"

"It has been returned. Colonel Qi Teng called me just now and asked me to accompany him to the Lidong Machinery Factory to take a look. It is obvious that he wants someone to take over these factories. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

"What? Colonel Qi Teng is concerned about this matter. How is it possible?"

Fang Chongshan was also stunned and couldn't help but look at Mingzhi, not quite understanding the meaning.

"Haha, Consultant Jing Ping came to our Economic Committee for a purpose. The first is to help us with the recovery of Shanghai's economy. The second is to manage the seven factories and provide funds for the work of the gendarmerie. Now the seven factories are about to close down. Do you think this is a small matter?"

Mingzhi glared at him, and then his tone was full of threats.

"Ah, how could this be?" (End of this chapter)
