"Is this the Anjuke Steelworks?"

Raising his head, Zao Wou-Ki stared at the steel jungle towering in front of him before he felt the power of steel.

Several towers reach into the sky, and those thick water vapors condense into clouds and gather around the towers; And in the spacious factory, there were bursts of rumbling sounds, and even the ground shook because of this; Dozens of trucks crisscross the ground on steel rails, transporting materials from one plant to another.

And the rutted road on the ground can also clearly feel how many goods were sold all over the country in its glory days.

It's a pity that at this time, the parking lot is full of birds chirping, silent and deserted, and it looks like a desert.

To be honest, Zao Wou-Ki didn't expect that in just ten years, the once glorious steel mill in front of him would decay to such an extent?

Du Yuan's expression was gloomy, and he said: "That's right, it is the second steelmaking plant in the country that used to be. It's just that it's dying! ”

"Dead? What does this say? ”

"You know what? Now it's operating at a loss. For every ton of steel produced, we lose $0.07. And in order to maintain its operation, we need to invest more than 5 million yuan a month to barely maintain it. ”

"If you're losing money, why don't you stop production?"

"No way. If we don't produce, we won't have income, but if we continue to produce, we'll lose money. If we don't find a new profit point, maybe we will only have to go bankrupt and reorganize. Du Yuan let out a long sigh, his eyes fell on the steel frames that had begun to decay, and became sad.

"Is that so?"

Zao Wou-Ki then understood why his mother and sister appeared in the bidding meeting, even at the expense of hue.

It's just that even if the bid is obtained, with the current economic situation, I am afraid that even the funds for construction and research will not be able to be fully raised.

At this time, several loosely dressed and drunken idlers appeared here in the distance.

Although the weather was already autumn, they took off their suits and hung them on their hands, and they didn't take the cold wind as a thing, and walked out of the steel mill step by step, and cursed such vicious words as "**", "waste", "shameless" and so on as they walked, and their faces were red and red, obviously drunk.

"Sure enough, this steel plant is completely abandoned."

Zao Wou-Ki shook his head, understanding his mother's helplessness.

People are the spirit of a factory.

If even the workers gave up their jobs and indulged in alcoholism, swearing, and decadence, one can imagine what would become of this factory.

At this moment, they also noticed the two people who appeared here, and their faces immediately showed surprise, and they immediately rushed over and surrounded Du Yuan in the center, roaring loudly with a hideous face, completely forgetting about Zhao Wouji, who was frowning next to him.

"Hey, give me my salary."

"It's been six months, can't you be a little cooler?"

"If you don't pay your salary, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite."

“……”

At this moment, when they saw the person in charge of the entire steel plant appear here, they naturally opened their mouths and scolded, and even became more and more angry, and there were faint signs of action.

"I'm sorry, but there is no money in the company at the moment. Can you give a little time? ”

Du Yuan smiled reluctantly, wanting to let the few people in front of her be a little more lenient, but the man in front of her was annoyed, and he actually raised his hand and hit her, and she quickly closed her eyes with the big palm of the fan.

It's just that Zao Wou-Ki grabbed the other party's hand with a horizontal bar, and then grabbed a ball of ice water from the side, slapped it on the other party's head, and poured cold water on the other party.

Of course, because the whole process was so fast, no one noticed his movements.

"Now, can you calm down and tell me what happened?"

Clapping his hands, Zao Wou-Ki said with a smile and staring at a few people.

The first person was lying on the ground, and when he raised his head, he saw the young man standing in front of him, and he immediately became annoyed because he was splashed with cold water, and immediately got up and shouted at the top of his throat: "Who are you kid?" How dare you pour cold water on me? Believe it or not, I'm going to stuff you into the furnace? ”

As if to strengthen his courage, he also grabbed a steel bar that fell to the ground next to him in his hand, looking murderous.

"Does that matter? More importantly, don't you think bullying women and children is a despicable thing? ”

Zao Wou-Ki shook his head, and suddenly lowered his head to stare at the person in front of him.

The man in front of him was about forty years old, his hands were covered with scars such as burns, cuts, and of course, thick calluses from years of touching machinery, and there were a few abrasions at the corners of his eyes, and even a few bruises on his body.

Obviously, there is a very ordinary skilled worker in front of him.

This person was also stiff, although he didn't dare to move because of Zao Wouji's might, he still stiffened his neck and shouted, "So what? It is only natural to repay the debt. This-woman is in arrears for half a year's salary, why should I ask her for money? ”

Although he changed his mouth because of the evil aura that Zao Wou-Ki accidentally revealed, the momentum in his mouth still did not stop, reprimanding Du Yuan.

Zao Wou-Ki was puzzled, but also understood that the complexity was not something he could understand, and immediately looked at his mother. Du Yuan also smiled bitterly, leaned down gently, and apologized: "Cheng Guodong, I also know your suffering, but there is really no money in the company, so can you delay it for a while?" ”

"Drag?"

Hearing this word, Cheng Guodong's whole body exploded like gunpowder, and he shouted: "Then will my daughter's illness continue to drag on like this?" If she doesn't continue chemotherapy for her albinism, then I will send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. ”

As he spoke, several cloudy tears fell from his rough skin and dripped to the ground.

Obviously, if he hadn't been forced to look like this by his work and family, how could he have shown this embarrassment? He even had to rely on alcohol to anesthetize his nerves and break free from the cruel world for a while.

"I also understand Cheng Xin's illness, but the company's current situation really doesn't have the slightest fund."

Faced with Cheng Gong's almost crazy appearance, Du Yuan only had sour feelings in addition to continuing to smile bitterly.

Although the company still has a steel mill worth billions in name, there is no money on the books, and in order to raise wages, she even mortgaged her villa and famous car, and even pawned all the rings and jewelry on her body, and even the clothes on her body were rented from friends.

At this time, another person poured all the beer in his hand into his stomach, burped and shouted: "In this case, we might as well sell the steel mill, so as not to worry about you here." ”

"Sold?" Cheng Guodong gave the other party a slap with a snap, and after waking him up, he roared: "Xiao Liu, you are saying this, be careful that I turn my face." ”

With a "snap", the beer bottle shattered on the ground, and Xiao Liu blushed and smiled: "So what? You can't just be stuck on this. Master! ”

Cheng Guodong was annoyed, took the steel bar in his hand and slapped the other party's calf, and scolded: "You know that I am your master, so don't mention this matter again." ”

"So what? To be honest, this factory is already dead, and we can't be trapped here. Xiao Liu hurriedly jumped away, avoiding the steel bars from Cheng Guodong, and shouted unwillingly while hiding: "To be honest, Ripu Enterprise has been fired from 10,000 monthly salaries, if it weren't for you, I would have run to apply for a job." ”

"I see, didn't I expect the situation in your company to be so bad?"

Zao Wou-Ki listened to the words of several people on the side, and also had a general understanding of the specific situation.

Seeing his son's slightly furrowed brows, Du Yuan immediately stepped forward to persuade him, for fear that he would be angry because these people offended him: "That's right. But don't blame them, after all, they also think about their own families. To be honest, if it weren't for my lack of ability, maybe the factory in front of me would not have fallen to this extent. ”

"Don't worry, I don't have that much energy."

Zao Wou-Ki nodded, and suddenly turned his head to stare at the group of people walking in the distance.

There were about 100 people in this group, all dressed in colorful clothes, and holding hard percussion devices such as bricks, steel pipes, crowbars, and baseball bats, all of them walked towards the steel mill with such momentum that several passers-by were afraid to hide to the side, not daring to block in the middle of the road.

"Damn, how is he?"

Du Yuan's face tightened, her fingers couldn't help but twist together, and her voice trembled.

"Who is he?"

"Yue Sheng, the head of the local community. It's a loan shark. I used to ask him to borrow from a loan shark, so I had some holidays. Unexpectedly, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and even he came. Du Yuan laughed miserably, and then grabbed his son's arm tightly before he was a little relieved.

After all, her son was born in the army, even if he was just a small school officer, but what he represented behind it was not something that ordinary people could cause trouble.

Zhao Wuji also understood this, and naturally stood in front of his mother, staring at Yue Sheng who came over with a stern face.
