It was the back of a man sitting in an office chair. It was a thin figure wearing a light gray suit, short gray hair, and a thin body. However, after the screen brightness has stabilized (which is a problem with older projectors, it takes a few seconds for the brightness to stabilize), the figure turns around, or should I say turn the swivel chair under him in a half-circle.

Now you can see that this is an East Asian man in a formal suit, wearing a suit on the upper body, a white shirt inside, and a striped tie (but you can't see what to wear on the lower body, I think it should be the same suit pants and black leather shoes). From the background, I don't know where he is, but I think it must be somewhere far away.

The man looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, and he was more of a scholar than a businessman. Because he is full of the elegant and calm temperament of a scholar. He has a high nose, short hair (gray hair is barely visible on the front, and gray hair can only be seen when he is on the back just now), and his black eyes are calm and focused. The upper and lower lips are firmly and forcefully closed together. His hands were folded into fists with his fingers crossed, lined in front of his chin, facing the monitor.

"My surname is Gao, and my name is Gao, and some people call me Lao Gao, and some people call me other names, but," the stranger seemed to look around before speaking. "You should call me Director Gao. He said in a calm and unhurried manner. "According to your entrustment and my personal consent, I am now the director of the steel plant in W City. ”

It should be noted that although the factory was transferred, it was changed from a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise. But the name of the factory has not changed - although it was thought of changing the name at one point, the specific operation has not yet been carried out. Changing the name is not such a simple thing, which means that a lot of registered certificates have to be changed, and of course, the seal or something has to be changed, which is quite troublesome.

If it is the name "master", it is estimated that some people will immediately feel that something is wrong. However, "Gao" itself is a common surname in China, and I dare not say that it is the first in the world, but it can be seen everywhere. The pronunciation of the word "hand" is the same as "keeping". It's not common to have a "hand" in the name, but there is a "guard" all over the street. Almost everyone subconsciously felt that this person's name should be called "Takamori". The name is a very normal Chinese name and does not come as strange.

"First of all, let me tell you that I am really not in the country right now. The master replied. "And it won't come to China for the foreseeable future. ”

There was a buzz in the conference room, and almost everyone was surprised. Some people are angry, such a foreigner (obviously he is an overseas Chinese) to become the factory director? The factory director does not just stay in a distant place and control it remotely, but has to solve the real problems of the factory. How can such an important position be given to this person with a high surname? It is better to give it to me! However, there are also some people who secretly rejoice. The director of the factory can't sit in charge, which means that there are more opportunities to fish in troubled waters, right?

The master paused for a moment before speaking. "But, don't look at me abroad, managing this factory is not a problem. ”

The buzz was louder. Not to mention anything else, what should a factory director do if he is not in China? Not to mention anything else, many things need to be signed and sealed by the factory director? Do you go to a foreign country to sign it? And the seal is not kept in the hands of the factory director, but in whose hands? In addition, sometimes the factory director will definitely come forward, what should I do when the time comes?

"Don't misunderstand, the factory is not state-owned now, and the legal representative is Mr. Ren. Gao Changzi said. "Everything is signed by him. I am only responsible for the day-to-day management work. Of course, Mr. Ren said that he trusts me in all aspects, and everything I do represents him. So sign directly to Mr. Ren to sign, daily management things, I will contact you by phone, and you can hold a meeting through this video conference when you have a meeting. ”

Everyone understood at once, that is to say, Ren Jian, the de facto boss, is willing to be a humanoid rubber stamp, and all the specific power is handed over to this Gao factory director. Although Director Gao has no legal identity, his decision is equal to Ren Jian's decision, and what he promised can be sent to Ren Jian for signature and seal. It sounds ridiculous, Ren Jian is stupid. But, after all, in the final analysis, Ren Jian is the boss of the law, and he can regret it at any time.

"It's ridiculous," someone said excitedly. "Now the factory is easy to recover, this is to bring down the factory!"

"It's Sun Hai, Deputy Manager Sun, right?" replied with a slight smile from Director Gao. "Don't worry, I'll just do a good job of the factory. Only the purchase of inferior concentrate powder at a low price and the consumption of kickbacks and other behaviors will bring the factory down. ”

Ren Jian looked at this Deputy Manager Sun with a suspicious face. As soon as the master's words came out, Sun Hai's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything.

"This approach ......" Another person on the side stood up, but before he could open his mouth and not even finish a word, Director Gao directly interrupted him. "Minister Zhao, I am directly responsible for contacting the team leaders in terms of production. Because I don't think I'm there, I can't get the relationship between a valve and a thermometer or something wrong. It will not replace anything that is not damaged at all. You have two options, leave, or change the guard. ”

This Minister Zhao was speechless for a long time, dumbfounded.

If Director Gao wants to be powerful, then he undoubtedly did it this time. The rest of the people were silent. Of course, it can also be said that everyone is holding back their strength - they can't stop it in front of them, and that's okay. This can't be helped, everyone is the boss anyway, theoretically it is said that whoever is promoted can be promoted, and whoever is said to get out of the way can let whoever get out. But, hehe, the phrase "Come to Japan" is not something that is said casually.

Not to mention the fact that there are many people who are secretly happy in their stomachs -- doesn't this mean that there are more loopholes to exploit? A boss who can only be a rubber stamp, and a factory director who does not come to the scene at all, is simply a sieve full of leaky eyes! If you lose the money of the state collective, you may still feel a little guilty, and if you lose the money of these capitalists and speculators, it is estimated that there will be no psychological burden on individuals.

Of course, they may also overlook a small thing: the corners of the capitalists are far less easy to dig than the state.

What follows is a long and lengthy discussion. But to be honest, most of the attention is no longer on the speech of this senior factory director, but on thinking about his own future. Even the most critical person, that is, Ren Jian himself, although he listened from beginning to end, he was also absent-minded.

Now Lu Wu, that kid should be tailoring with Amber, right? I really don't know if that kid will be okay tomorrow?

The more Ren Jian thought about it, the more he felt a little unreliable. In particular, from the very beginning, he noticed that Lu Wu's attitude was not very enthusiastic. Of course, this attitude is understandable: after all, Lu Wu is close to the thigh of the international smuggling group, so he probably feels that this kind of cooperation is dispensable. It can even be further said that Amber is not short of money anyway, so Lu Wuda can eat soft rice for the rest of his life.

Not to mention Lu Wu, Ren Jian also felt for a while before that since he couldn't get off the black ship, then in fact, this kind of cooperation with foreign investment funds was dispensable. Naturally, it is a great thing to gain, the icing on the cake, but there is no special heartache in losing it. But after thinking about it in the hospital bed, I felt that things couldn't be thought of like this.

Because in the final analysis, no matter how powerful a smuggling syndicate is, it is only a smuggling syndicate. can't go on stage, can't play, can't put it on the surface. This kind of thing is definitely not welcomed by the government - it is already a good result to not be hit. However, if it is a foreign group that the government is very keen to pull over, then the situation is completely different.

It can be seen from the lively holding of a party here in W City, inviting all the people who seem to have some value to come over, and the government is desperately hoping to keep the investment here in W City. For officials, it must be a great achievement after completion. For the local enterprises in W City, if they can become partners, then there is no doubt that the government will definitely give the green light. Those troubles such as taxation, fire safety, and environmental protection will not come to the door casually - no matter who you are, if you want to find trouble, you have to weigh it in advance.

This is very beneficial for a businessman, especially one who is in collusion with a smuggling syndicate.

In short, the value of this matter is not only the benefits of cooperation, but also the effective risk reduction, which is still of great significance to Ren Jian.

As an amber superpower, I don't know if I will notice it...... But with Ren Jian's understanding of Lu Wu, he guessed that Lu Wu would not be able to see this point nine times out of the blue. Lu Wu was originally sharp in some aspects, but also sluggish in some aspects (of course, most people in this world are like this). He probably didn't see what it meant to them.

Looks like he's going to have to make a trip. Ren Jian felt his finger - fortunately, it was just a finger and did not affect walking.

……

On the high-resolution photo, there is a horrific corpse.

Of course, this is just an instinctive reaction of human beings to hurt the death of a rabbit and a fox. Any living being, if it had been carefully burned by the fire, would look pretty much the same—all the clothes and hair that could be burned on the surface of the entire body were burned, and all that was left was charred, charred flesh.

Of course, if the temperature is a little higher and lasts a little longer, it will become what we commonly call "ashes".

"I can't tell the difference at all,......," one said softly. "Is it all like that?"

His hand flipped through one photograph after another—a stack of not very thick, but rather a decent number of photographs, or prints of photographic paper. After all, digital camera technology has been very mature in these years, and ordinary people's eyesight can hardly distinguish between "printed photos" and "washed photos". Not to mention ordinary people, it is difficult for experts. That's why traditional cameras are disappearing from everyday life.

Although there are no details, impressions alone can guide the more than 20 photographs in total, each of which means a deceased person. And because of the flames, it is impossible to determine the specific identity of the deceased - in fact, even now, only part of it can be determined, and it is only the name that is known, and the specific corpse is not known.

That fire was really bad.

Since ancient times, flames have been an effective means of covering up crimes, and they still do today. For example, if a person is killed with a knife first, and then set on fire, it is difficult to determine the true cause of death of the deceased, even if Bao Gong is reincarnated, and it is impossible to deduce whether it seems to be a deliberate murder or just an accidental fire.

However, there are some crimes that cannot be covered up. No amount of flame can open a human skull, break ribs, or cut necks. Not to mention the fact that a large number of weapons were found at the scene - a fire that is the size of a human dwelling, but it can't melt a firearm of steel.

The hand holding the photo put it down in disappointment, and handed it to a secretary who had been standing respectfully next to him. "I didn't expect Lao Jin to be like this...... It's gone. He said in a feeble tone. "What about the others?"

"Well, the police have already classified it as an underworld vendetta......" the secretary further said. "But...... No clues can be found available right now. The case is said to have been reported to the central government, but it did not cause much shock...... It is speculated that in the end, it is likely that the municipal police will be in charge of handling the ...... If you can't find a clue, it will become an unsolved case. ”

"Lao Jin is actually a very righteous person, but it's a pity that he has little reading, no culture, and can't do good business, so he can only mix it up like he is now. The owner of the hand picked up the photo again. Unfortunately, it has been burned for too long, and it is impossible to find a trace of an old friend's characteristics from these corpses. "But...... What do you think," he asked his secretary. "Is the murderer one person or many?"
