Save the Bachelor of Heaven

No matter what you are afraid of, by the second half of 1999, many of Hua Steel's production workshops, such as the coking workshop, blast furnace workshop, desulfurization workshop, and even the locomotive depot, were shut down.

The reason for the shutdown is that the factory has no money to purchase raw materials. The ore and coal needed for steelmaking were no longer affordable, and workers had no work to do and had to stop work.

Wang Xiang works in the locomotive maintenance section. Now that the factory is shut down, there is no need to haul goods. He is now idle at home.

However, others are restless and still go to the factory every day to dismantle train parts for maintenance and cleaning, fearing that if the machine head is not moved for a long time, the parts will be embroidered to death.

Xiang Nan knew that he still couldn't bear to part with this train that had been running for most of his life. So even if the factory was not working and he could no longer pay wages, he would still maintain it voluntarily.

"Dad~" Xiang Nan made a special trip to the locomotive depot to find Wang Xiang.

I saw him sitting in the room, carefully wiping the sludge on the parts and polishing them until they were shiny.

"Why are you here?" Wang Xiang asked in surprise when he saw his son.

"I'm here to find you." Xiang Nan said, "I just received the news that the factory will definitely close down. The equipment will be sold to private iron factories, and the land will be sold to real estate developers..."

He wasn't just talking nonsense. As the mouthpiece of the factory, the factory newspaper is quite well-informed.

Huagang's geographical location is very advantageous, and Hualin City is built around it. Therefore, its land has great potential and has been chosen by real estate developers early on.

If Xiang Nan didn't have a better way to make money, if he wanted to engage in real estate, he would also have the idea of ​​​​Hua Steel Land.

"Prodigal boy!" When Wang Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but throw the rag in his hand to the ground.

Huagang was founded in 1948. It was his father's generation who started from scratch and built such a large factory.

Nowadays, it is sold as soon as it is said to be sold, which is really infuriating.

"Dad, don't be sad. It doesn't matter if the factory is gone. Don't you still have me?" Xiang Nan advised, "You raised me for the first twenty years, and it's my turn to raise you for the next twenty years."

"Good son." Wang Xiang was very moved when his son said this.

Although the factory collapsed, he lost a spiritual pillar. But fortunately, he still has a precious son. His precious son is promising, which gives him hope for the rest of his life.

…

In October, Huagang began to divert laid-off workers.

Xiang Nan and his son were not included in the first batch of layoffs, which he had expected.

Given Song Yukun's immense courage, he didn't dare to make any plans of his own. Not only did Xiang Nan not lose his job, he was promoted to factory office clerk.

It turned out that the entire department of the factory newspaper had been laid off. Nowadays, the factory seems to be unable to survive, and the factory newspaper, which has always been used to praise the company's virtues, naturally has no use.

Therefore, the entire factory newspaper was abolished, but Song Yukun was afraid that Xiang Nan would cause trouble, so he transferred him to work in the factory office.

But Xiang Nan has no interest in factory management at all.

When he was working at the factory, his work was extremely leisurely. He only worked half a day a week and was responsible for distributing newspapers. For the rest of the time, he can come or not. No one will count his attendance anyway.

So he can go stock trading, write, and go to an Internet cafe to take care of business.

But it's different when I enter the factory office. I have to stay in the office every day, delivering greetings and recording documents. It's like a chore. I'm not as carefree as before.

What's even more unfortunate is that soon after the first wave of layoffs, Song Yukun was reported by employees as suspected of corruption and bribery, and for enriching his own pockets, and was taken away for investigation by relevant departments.

It turns out that the story of Song Yukun and other middle and senior leaders enriching themselves and stealing from others is actually not news in the factory. It's just that everyone adheres to the principle of "more trouble is worse than less trouble", and they are also afraid of retaliation from Song Yukun and others, so no one goes to trouble them.

But now, many employees have been laid off and their jobs have been destroyed by Song Yukun. They are not afraid of retaliation, so they have reported to the relevant departments.

Song Yukun was taken away for investigation, and the crime was soon revealed.

After all, his tricks of rat-stealing and dog-stealing would not work well with other supervisory agencies.

Then a new factory director came to Huagang to take charge of daily work.

The so-called emperor and his ministers. Xiang Nan was nominally Song Yukun's nephew, so naturally he was not popular with the new factory director, so he took the initiative to resign.

In fact, the reason why he joined Huagang in the first place was to reassure Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu.

At that time, Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu were worried about his future and asked him to either enter the factory or take the exam, so he was not allowed to choose to enter the factory.

Now his career outside is even more prosperous. Not to mention how prosperous the business of Dream Internet Cafe is now, even his writing career is also very profitable.

Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu no longer worry about his career.

So continuing to stay in Huagang would do no good to him at all. On the contrary, leaving means that the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly.

…

Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu did not strongly oppose their son's resignation.

They had already seen that Huagang was hanging on by a thread. Even if Song Yukun and other leaders were arrested, the arrival of a new factory director would not have much effect.

Huagang owes hundreds of millions in loans from banks, and there is still a lot of unsold steel piled in the warehouse. In such a situation, even if the Da Luo Immortal comes, there will be nothing to do. Sooner or later, it will have to close its doors.

Even if they are not laid off for the time being, it probably won't last long.

Since there will be such a day sooner or later, it is better to resign voluntarily. Anyway, with his son's ability, he doesn't have to worry about not making money.

"Son, what are you going to do next?" Wang Xiang asked curiously.

"Dad, actually I opened a shop with my friends outside." Xiang Nan smiled, "I was afraid that you would be worried, so I never said anything."

"Open a store?! What kind of store are you opening?" Wang Xiang asked doubtfully.

"Internet cafe." Xiang Nan explained.

"What is an Internet cafe? Raising a bastard? How much money can you make from that thing?" Wang Xiang asked in confusion.

"Dad, it's not a bastard, it's an Internet cafe, a network on the Internet." Xiang Nan explained, "It means surfing the Internet, chatting, and playing games on the computer."

"Is it making money?" Wang Xiang still didn't understand, but what he cared about was profit.

"Earn, at least one hundred thousand a month." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

"A hundred thousand?!" Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu were stunned.

The couple worked hard for most of their lives to save a fortune of 100,000 yuan. In order to treat Luo Meisu, he almost spent all his money. Unexpectedly, their son made over 100,000 yuan a month.

"Son, is your bastard shop really that profitable?" Wang Xiang said in surprise.

Xiang Nan nodded.

In fact, Internet cafes still make a small amount of money. What he really makes big money from is the stock market. Now after half a year of speculation, he has accumulated a net worth of five million.

I dare not call him the richest man in Hualin, but it is definitely not an exaggeration to be from a small wealthy family.

Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu were very pleased to see their son was so promising.
