On the video call, you can clearly see the smile of the factory manager.

It was the first time Thomas had sat in his office. It wasn't hot, but he only now realized that his back was soaking wet.

He never even dreamed that this matter would pass like this. Well, although he is still in a nervous mood, he is actually quite happy when he thinks of his grandfather's joyful smile and the dark and smelly faces of a group of relatives. Just as his relatives basically didn't like him, Thomas didn't like that bunch of relatives either. Well, this kind of thing can't be helped. The old man also bears a large part of the responsibility. In fact, if the old man had divided the inheritance of property from the beginning and publicized it, it is estimated that there would be much harmony within the family. But at present, the old man feels that the time is still early, and he is reluctant to express his position, and it is not surprising that he has developed to such a stage.

As mentioned earlier, facts speak louder than anything. Or to put it another way, the bunch of Arabic numerals on the bank account number that can be dispatched at any time is the most convincing, enough to overcome all doubts. The company does make that much money. In that case, then it's all over. A company that can make money is a good company, and a manager who can bring profits is a good manager. This is simple and understandable, but no one can refute the logic.

Chinese have always judged heroes by success or failure, but in fact, foreigners are the same. After all, people who pay attention to the process and do not pay attention to the result are in the minority. If the company loses money or does not operate well, Thomas leaves the company and runs to Kunlun Mountain to shoot Tibetan antelopes, then it is called frivolous, irresponsible, prodigal, and wasted money. On the contrary, as now, the company's performance is very beautiful, and Thomas went to Kunlun Mountain to shoot Tibetan antelopes called bold innovation, courage to delegate power, give full play to the subjective initiative of his subordinates, and do not increase psychological pressure on everyone - in short, it is called the demeanor of a general, and it is not informal.

In the face of the real Arabic numerals on the bank account number, all accusations are paper tigers that can be pierced with a finger.

Mr. Gao was still wearing the same outfit that Thomas had seen last time - in fact, he looked the same as the last time. Even the smile on his face remained the same.

"So ......" Thomas was a little excited, in fact he was so excited that he almost couldn't speak. "Director Gao, thanks to you. ”

As for why Director Gao can make so much money by doing futures, does this still need to be asked? People with supernatural abilities can definitely be rich as long as they want to be rich. And it is obvious that Director Gao's superpower is not to charge into battle, kill and kill, but to collect intelligence in the rear and make overall arrangements.

Director Gao smiled slightly. "Thomas, it's nothing, I should say I want to thank you for your trust. ”

If you change someone, it is estimated that you will not be able to completely delegate power to him like this nervous foreign devil. Of course, you could also say that it's all because of Thomas's life, at least so far, so far. He has never suffered a real setback, so he doesn't have a strong first feeling about things like sinister people's hearts, and it's easy to be fooled. Of course, this time it was precisely because of this that he benefited the most this time. Otherwise...... How could a person in charge with a normal mind and the most basic sense of risk give money to his subordinates to speculate in futures?

"Ha......" Thomas was a little embarrassed. "Well, I'd like to ask about the specific ......."

"Actually, the company's business is not doing well right now. Director Gao replied directly, and there seemed to be no intention to hide it. "At the beginning, I wanted to export high-quality special steel, but now there is no possibility of exporting it at all. The domestic market directly digested all the production capacity. ”

Thomas said he was confused. He may have heard about the causes and consequences of the company's establishment, but it had long since been thrown into the Mariana Trench. He actually wanted to ask another question now.

"So what is going on now is some unprofitable business," Mr. Gao said. "If you want to make a lot of money in the short term, the only option is stocks, futures, or whatever. ”

"Why make a lot of money in a short period of time?" Thomas asked stupidly.

"Because I need money now. Director Gao replied seemingly casually. "Don't talk about that, Thomas, you don't like people coming to investigate twice in three days, right?"

"Of course......"

"So let's come up with a dividend strategy. Director Gao said. "With a steady stream of money in your grandfather's hands, this kind of thing shouldn't happen a second time. ”

"Can I pay dividends now?"

"Why not?" asked Director Gao. "By the way, the matter of the research center needs you to pay more attention. ”

Thomas immediately put the company and the like aside for the time being. The research center is the focus of his future concern. This is an important act of pushing technology from another world backwards, not a meaningless thing like a vulgar and boring company making money, but a great move to try to change the whole world. You know, retinal projection technology is not the whole story, but just the beginning. There is no doubt that for the mysterious superpower group, they have more technological products from alien planets in their hands.

Although he has decided to hide the truth, he can't be cooler to stand in the shadows and secretly push the whole world to change from behind.

It's getting late.

Ren Jian left the steel mill exhausted. It was a real pain to deal with such an examination, especially when he was such a hands-off shopkeeper. Those things in the accounts, he was completely blind. In other words, he has never cared since Director Gao took over. Anyway, all he has to do is a rubber stamp, as long as it is something that Director Gao takes, he can sign a "consent" or add another seal. No need to use your brain.

Fortunately, the phone of the factory director Gao has been in touch, so he can cope with the inspection.

This inspection was very sudden, and as mentioned earlier, those professional auditors were just fine, and the group of second-hand goods who knew nothing but threatened from time to time were really in trouble.

However, Director Gao is worthy of being an elite member of the international smuggling syndicate, and obviously has a comprehensive understanding of China's various systems. At least there's no problem on the books (which is remarkable in itself). Although Ren Jian's eyes are black, he can get an answer immediately with just a phone call. Not only that, but on several occasions they found excuses, and those troublemakers who were justified and choked could not answer.

However, it was all over. No matter what the purpose of this group of people came to check, at least they couldn't find anything, so they could only leave in disgrace.

Although it was actually just a past inspection, when he finally cleaned up and left, Ren Jian had a sense of relief that he had won the battle. At this time, he realized that the production line had become quiet.

As mentioned earlier, although the factory has only resumed one production line at present, the production line is very busy, and it starts 24 hours a day in three shifts. But today, probably because of the bad things about this inspection, all the work was stopped.

Tonight's factory area is dark and quiet, completely devoid of the usual noise and lights. No, maybe it's really distracted by the inspection, and there aren't even security guards there.

Although it was seen from a distance, Ren Jian could see that it was pitch black on the side of the security booth. In the entire factory area, there is only a lone street lamp illuminating at the moment. Of course, the same is true for the office area. Ren Jian doesn't look like a big boss, but he is the last one to leave.

But these things don't matter. Anyway, now all the affairs of the steel plant are entrusted to Director Gao - since Director Gao thinks that he can take a day off tonight, then it is better to take a day off. Anyway, everything is supported by smuggling syndicates, isn't it?

Of course, there is still a little doubt, at least Ren Jian knows that smelting metal seems to be unable to stop - let's put it this way, once the blast furnace stops, it is not a simple matter of pressing the power button to restart the computer. This comes at a huge cost. However, it is said that this blast furnace production line uses advanced foreign technology - it is indeed advanced enough, so advanced that Ren Jian can't understand it. To say that those high-end equipment controlled by fully automatic electronic systems in foreign countries can smelt high-quality steel, it is normal and in line with people's general cognition. But at present, this production line, which is almost entirely manual operation, can produce products that are completely inferior to others...... Ren Jian said that he really didn't understand. Of course, it was normal for him to know that he didn't understand, after all, he didn't study steel.

Maybe this production line is special and the design is advanced enough. It may just be easy to turn off and easy to restart. As for the reason, hey, advanced technology from foreign countries.

Ren Jian got into the car and turned all these distractions into something about the precious metals trade. He had already sold a large part of Lu Wu's last harvest, but there were still many more. He's going to have to figure out how to sell it for as high a price as possible.

After he left, the entire steel plant fell into dead silence. A lone street lamp apparently doesn't illuminate anything.

No one saw a figure emerge from the darkness at some point, standing on the edge of the streetlight.

It was a bipedal creature, but its figure was quite different from that of a human. The whole body shape is different, no less than the difference between a silverback gorilla and a human. Even if this figure is half-hidden in the darkness at the moment, the head of this figure still looks a bit like a locust.
