The annual Spring Festival is finally here, and the brothers of the Zhao family, who have not returned home for several months, can finally return to the factory, and the scene of a lively reunion of the family is also rare.

Liu Cheng was finally accepted by the Zhao family and became the quasi-son-in-law of the Zhao family, which made Zhao Lingshan even more grateful to her eldest brother, if there was no full support from Zhao Guodong, she didn't know if she would be able to have such a happy ending with Liu Cheng.

The joy of family joy diluted the haze of the textile mill's economic decline, the situation in the factory Zhao Guodong has also heard, the last two or three months of 93 years in the factory situation is worse, almost all workers have felt the huge pressure, to the three shifts have stopped, changed to two shifts, some auxiliary workshops are in a semi-shutdown state.

Several factory leaders are running around like ants on a hot pot, bank loans are due, and they have repeatedly come to the door to force debts, if they do not repay the due loans, it is impossible to re-lend, and financially they have already demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, but this is useless.

The things sold are either hopeless to collect or return a large number of various groceries, which makes the sales department of the factory miserable, if it is not sold, the production of things will only be backlogged in the warehouse.

Wave after wave of people who went out to collect money in addition to consuming one business trip after another are almost nothing, although the city's leaders have repeatedly come forward to help coordinate, but the bank's attitude is also very resolute, do not pay off the old debts, the new money does not let go, especially for the textile mill such a clear loss of development potential of the enterprise.

Zhao Lingshan has been transferred to the laboratory, and although the work is easy, she also feels the pressure brought by the recession of the enterprise. In the past, the sisters in the workshop muttered almost every day why the warehouse in the factory was pressed more and more, and the leader's face became more and more ugly, but the bonus was to repeatedly listen to the footsteps and not see anyone coming down.

Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan, who rushed back from Andu, took a taxi home, although the neighbors knew that the two brothers of the Zhao family were doing big business outside, but when they saw two young men with extraordinary style getting off the taxi, they still didn't recognize the two brothers of the Zhao family for a while, and they didn't react until they entered the gate of the Zhao family.

Zhao Guodong, who was sitting at the table, carefully observed the changes of everyone.

Although the father became more and more silent, the joy in the corners of his eyes could not be concealed, although the tone and attitude of Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan during the banquet were very different from the last Spring Festival, and even some of them exceeded the rules of the family, but as a father, he could see the current scenery of his two sons who could only be unemployed at home, and the joy in his heart was enough to dispel all dissatisfaction.

Zhao Deshan's bullish spirit will only be restrained when facing Zhao Guodong, especially when he is facing the eldest sister and Liu Cheng, there is an indescribable taste of contempt, this kid is still that arrogant and stubborn, and his opinion of Liu Cheng has not changed much.

Zhao Changchuan is much more subtle and introverted, although he still respects his father as always, but it can be seen that it is just a kind of etiquette, the hard work of the shopping mall for more than a year has made him reborn, and the self-confidence in his bones makes him dare to fight with reason even in the face of Zhao Guodong.

The mother is still like that, except for occasionally glaring at Zhao Deshan, who is a little excessive, she really can't find a better way to suppress her sons.

Liu Cheng also remained calm, and the first time he participated in a formal gathering of the Zhao family, it was undoubtedly announced that he could be regarded as one of the members of the Zhao family.

He tried his best to maintain the necessary calmness and reserve, but Zhao Guodong could see that he was very interested in everything that Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan had experienced, even if Zhao Deshan sometimes spoke disrespectfully, he didn't think he was angry, but Zhao Changchuan respected Liu Cheng, and the two could communicate from time to time, which was a good phenomenon.

Zhao Lingshan was a little nervous, especially worried about Zhao Deshan's arrogance and unreasonableness, but fortunately, Zhao Guodong sat in the banquet, and Zhao Deshan did not dare to be too presumptuous even if he was presumptuous.

The economic foundation will show its decisive role at any time and place, after investing in the operation of the Canglang Water Mineral Water Project, Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan's status has obviously surpassed that of their parents, although the investment in the mineral water project is still Xu Xiuqin's absolute majority shareholder, but no one cares about this.

"The spinning workshop has canceled the operation class and changed it to the Changbai class, and I heard that the weaving workshop will follow suit when it turns over the year." Zhao Lingshan couldn't interject all the time, and it was easy to wait for the opportunity to say a word.

"It's inevitable." Zhao Guodong, who was immersed in eating vegetables, said lightly and fell on the banquet like thunder.

"Gordon, what did you say?" Zhao Fuwang was taken aback, he hadn't spoken much, but he heard his eldest son's words very clearly.

"I mean, this trend is inevitable, and it's going to get more and more obvious, and the mills have reached a dead end, and it's only a matter of time before they close their doors." Zhao Guodong's face was flat, as if he was evaluating a matter that had nothing to do with him.

"Impossible! How could a political axe allow such a large factory to shut down? What about the workers? Zhao Fuwang rarely saw a sharp roar.

"It's not the political axe that wants the factory to stop production, but the market forces the factory to stop production! The market does not accept the things produced in the factory, because there are better and cheaper goods for the market to choose from, it's as simple as that. Zhao Guodong picked up a chopstick tamales and stuffed it into his mouth, and said casually.

"Marketplace?" Zhao Fuwang asked blankly.

"Dad, now is not a planned economy, the political axe will not do everything, whether your products can be sold, depends on the cost and quality of your enterprise and whether it meets the needs of the market, and our textile factory has fallen behind no matter which one, this year's factory is struggling to maintain all rely on bank support, and once the bank feels that our factory is not able to repay the previous loan, then they will not throw money in anyway." Zhao Guodong put down his chopsticks, "Do you think our factory can still sustain itself under this situation?" ”

"So what do we do?" A touch of uneasiness appeared on Zhao Fuwang's face, "What about the factory?" You can't just wait every day, right? ”

"Of course it can't be, although the factory will stagnate, but the problems of the workers believe that the political axe will be considered, and there are various ways, depending on how the political axe is considered, but one thing is for sure, our factory should not be able to support it for long." Zhao Guodong said categorically.

Zhao Guodong's words made the atmosphere in the banquet heavy all of a sudden, and Zhao Changchuan opened the atmosphere: "Dad, Mom, what are you worried about?" With us, even if the factory collapses, we live the same, and we don't rely on the factory. ”

"Yes, Dad, Mom, you are all this age, or you will rest at home, too lazy to work tiringly, you can't earn a few dollars a month, why bother?" Zhao Deshan also said in a loud voice: "Our brothers can afford to raise you, or if you think the factory is not good, you can buy a house in Jiangkou or Andu and move to the city to live." ”

"Get out!" Zhao Fuwang was rarely furious, his sharply undulating chest and red cheeks showed the change in his inner mood, "You get out of here!" ”

"The third child!" Zhao Guodong stopped Zhao Deshan, who wanted to say more.

"What's wrong with you? Tokuyama didn't say anything, it's not for your good! Xu Xiuqin also blamed her husband for being uneasy, in her opinion, Zhao Deshan's words were not wrong, but these words made Zhao Fuwang, who had been working in the factory since the establishment of the factory, indeed greatly stimulated.

"Dad, Deshan can't speak, but he is also good for you, the factory really can't turn that is also a historical reason, it has nothing to do with you, so many people in our Zhao family say that you are still worried that you can't afford to eat? Deshan also hopes that you can have a good environment for the rest of your life, and you have worked hard for the factory for decades, and it is enough to have a clear conscience, which is not something we can reverse. ”

Zhao Guodong's words calmed Zhao Fuwang's mood a little, but some lonely and unwilling looks showed that he still didn't give up: "Guodong, what you said is true?" Will the factory really not be able to move? ”

"Really, at most this year, I can survive for a year, and that must be regarded as the ability of those people in the factory." Zhao Guodong shook his head, "The state-owned textile enterprise has completed its historical mission, and it is inevitable to withdraw from the stage." ”

Old Zhao Tou finally couldn't eat anymore, so he dropped his chopsticks and went back to his bedroom, and the meal was completely ruined by Zhao Guodong's words, which made Zhao Guodong also a little remorseful, and his casual words could also cause such a storm, but it is understandable to think about his father's feelings.

"Guodong, don't take it to heart, your dad knows his temper, I'll persuade him in a while and let him want to open some."

Although Xu Xiuqin is also a little worried about the fate of the textile factory, but now several sons are working outside, especially Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan are both working outside under the arrangement of the eldest son, although I don't know what they are talking about what they are doing and where the money comes from, but she is very relieved about Zhao Guodong.

There are only a few juniors left in the living room, Zhao Yunhai is going to take the college entrance examination in July, and he is all about studying, although the conversation of several brothers makes him interested, but he also knows that his current task is to be admitted to a prestigious university and lay a good foundation for finding a good job in the future.

Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan originally wanted to discuss the matter with Zhao Guodong in Pennsylvania, but Zhao Lingshan and Liu Cheng were present, and the two were reluctant to say deeply, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little delicate all of a sudden.

Zhao Guodong also noticed that Zhao Lingshan and Liu Cheng were unnatural, it was obvious that the two younger brothers had not yet included Zhao Lingshan and Liu Cheng in the scope of the Zhao family, the daughter who married out, and the water that was spilled, this concept was still deeply rooted in the minds of the two younger brothers, but Zhao Guodong didn't care too much about this.
