Although he is ready to go to the field for research, before that, he must understand some information, otherwise even if he knows some production-related technology, he will definitely be blinded in the past.

As the object of the investigation, Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory will naturally not leave Chang Haonan and his party to dry, and must send someone to accompany and introduce.

But if they all follow the guidance of the other party, then it is not a research, but a trip.

Therefore, that night, Chang Haonan, who lived in the guest house, still asked Huai Guomo for some relevant materials about Jiang Chong.

To his surprise, the materials sent from the reference room were only about less than 30 centimeters.

"Is that all?"

Chang Haonan received it, looked at it over and over again, and confirmed it to the two information clerks.

Although it has only been since the 90s, it still seems a little too thin for a factory with thousands of employees.

"Yes, all the files you want from 1991 to the present related to production and operation are here."

One of them nodded, handed him a folder and a pen, and motioned to sign it, indicating that the materials had been received.

Chang Haonan, who wrote down his name, wanted to ask something more, but the other two were just ordinary clerks in charge of the files, so I am afraid they couldn't ask why.

Fortunately, this question didn't bother him for long.

The date of establishment will be clearly marked on the cover of the file.

Most of it was an extremely dense period from late 1996 to early 1997.

This is true for the earliest 1991 one.

Obviously, this is because Jiang Zhong is in the process of transforming from a local state-owned enterprise in Jiangcheng City to a subsidiary of the Ordnance Industry System, so only part of the files have been sent to the Science and Technology Commission for preservation, and more should still be in Jiangcheng locally.

As for why this is the case......

Chang Haonan opened the first file on top.

Then, he was directly stunned.

"Damn, this asset-liability situation...... Seriously? ”

According to the situation in the file, this Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory is a hot potato for the Ordnance Industry Corporation!

Due to years of losses, the total liabilities of the factory have even reached nearly 500 million yuan, and the net assets of the enterprise are less than one-fifth of this figure!

More than 400 million big holes!

You must know that after 1993, in principle, enterprises will no longer be bailed out in the form of direct financial allocations, so if Jiang Chong is really completely transferred to the side of the Ordnance Industry Corporation, then the latter will have to eat this huge debt.

Even if the arms industry has been living a fairly prosperous life by relying on arms exports in recent years, there is absolutely no way to easily fill such a big hole.

Of course, the net assets of this enterprise are not counted in the land.

However, at present, the real estate industry, especially the real estate industry in the central region, has not yet been speculated, and the value of land use rights has developed from 1995, when the concept of land use rights has just emerged, that is, the houses that originally belonged to enterprises are rented out to open shopping malls and restaurants.

Constrained by the environmental characteristics of large state-owned enterprises, even if these commercial establishments are opened, the main consumers are the employees of the enterprises, but under the wave of layoffs, these people have no spending power, so even if they are included, the situation is not much better at all.

Because of this, the Ordnance Industry Corporation hesitated about this matter, and the change of ownership was stuck.

As a result, Jiang Chong's name has been written on the enterprise directory of the Science and Technology Commission, but in fact, the other party has not really been included in the management.

In this chaotic era, it's not particularly outrageous.

It's just that for Chang Haonan, who wants to hand over the heavy-duty die forging press to Jiang Zhong, it is definitely not good news.

When Chang Haonan closed the last file, that is, the 1996 file, the moon was already hanging high outside the window.

"You don't really want me to save this business......

He rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen on both sides, and couldn't help but think of a certain TV series he had seen a few times before he was reborn.

Chang Haonan knew that he was neither engaged in office struggles nor commercial operations, so he quickly threw this idea to the back of his mind.

"I can only go over there and look at it again, and there is something to be owed 500 million in this era......"

Chang Haonan yawned and looked at the calendar next to him.

July 6th.

The day before the college entrance examination.

Even though it was a little late, he thought about it for a moment and decided to give his family a call.

According to Chang Haonan's own experience, it is unlikely that he would go to bed so early the night before the college entrance examination.

It was Chang Jiayao who answered the phone.

Perhaps because of nervousness, her voice was a little different than usual.

Although I have passed the physical examination and the political examination, if I want to complete the admission, I still have to exceed the main line in the cultural course exam.

And in terms of her previous mock test results, although they all meet the requirements, they are not particularly safe.

On the phone, Chang Jiayao told a lot of stories about the brothers and sisters when they were children, to be honest, Chang Haonan couldn't remember most of the details, but he still chatted for a while.

Until Zhou Li's voice sounded in the background, asking Chang Jiayao to rest.

Even if you can't sleep, lie down and don't get too excited.

"Why is Jia Yao like an old lady today, and she has been talking to me about the past......"

Chang Haonan, who was finally relieved, complained to Zhou Li, who had just picked up the phone.

It's not easy to remember what happened to him more than forty years ago.

The latter sighed softly:

"Alas...... Xiaonan, do you still remember that Jia Yao had a classmate named Lin Yanping when she was in junior high school? ”

"Uh...... I don't remember. ”

Just kidding, Chang Haonan can't even remember his junior high school classmates.

"I have a good relationship with Jia Yao, and a girl who often comes to our house to play, is very tall and beautiful."

As soon as Zhou Li said this, Chang Haonan finally remembered a little, but he couldn't match the person with the name.

"I guess that's a little impressive...... What's wrong? ”

He was a little worried that Zhou Li was going to introduce him to a girlfriend again.

It's just that this time it's obviously a mistake.

"Her family conditions are average, she didn't continue to go to school after graduating from junior high school, and went to work in our local brewery, but she was laid off and unemployed last month, because of her short working years, and she didn't get too much subsidies...... I jumped into the river, but fortunately, a young man from your father's unit passed by when he got off work and rescued people......"

It's a tragedy indeed.

Chang Haonan had never heard of this in his previous life.

However, similar situations are not uncommon in this era.

But there was one thing in Zhou Li's description that made him a little concerned.

"Mom, I remember that the brewery seems to be doing well, why did it suddenly start to be laid off?"

The reason why Chang Haonan said this is because when he was on a business trip to Shengjing last year, he could often see this beer in the store.

For a county-level brewery, being able to sell its products to a provincial capital can definitely be regarded as a thriving business.

"I don't know ...... this."

Although gossip spreads quickly in a place like the school, it is still relatively closed in nature, not to mention that Zhou Li, as a teacher, doesn't care much about this kind of thing.

"If you really want to know, you can wait for my father to come back from the city bureau and ask him, he especially likes to drink loose beer from that factory."

Since his mother can't say one, two, three, Chang Haonan didn't continue to dwell on this matter:

"Okay, then mom, you should rest early, and you have to accompany Jia Yao to the exam tomorrow......"
