Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

After finishing his work, Zhang Bingkun did not stay for long.

Since he said that he would find out who the two scammers were within five days, he certainly didn't want to go back on his word.

Therefore, we have to hurry up and investigate the relevant people, so we naturally don't have time to chat here.

After Zhang Bingkun left, Zhao Wenhao also packed up his things and prepared to return to Xuanzhou.

The main reason for returning this time was that I was worried that Wei Chunlan would be upset because of this incident. Since the money was already recovered for her, there was no other problem.

At most, I would just give the two of them a few words of advice, asking them to be more careful in the future and not to be fooled easily again.

At noon that day, after lunch, Zhao Wenhao did not stay any longer and rushed back to Xuanzhou with Qian Weibing.

"Mr. Zhao, Vice Governor Zhou's secretary called this morning and asked you to come over when you're free. He wants to discuss something with you."

As soon as I returned to the company office, Lu Han came over. There was a hint of anxiety on his face, and it was obvious that he felt this was an important matter.

"Oh?" Zhao Wenhao frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

He looked at Lu Han and asked casually, "Did Secretary Wang tell me what the matter was?"

Lu Han shook his head and said helplessly, "I asked, but Secretary Wang didn't say anything. It seems that Vice Governor Zhou wants to discuss specific matters with you in person."

Zhao Wenhao nodded to show his understanding.

He thought about it, then looked at the time. It was already past three in the afternoon.

According to the normal schedule, if we rush to the provincial government now, it will be four o'clock.

Moreover, Zhou Xian did not explicitly express the need to meet immediately, so this matter should not be particularly urgent.

"How about this, Lu Han? Call Secretary Wang back in an hour. Tell him I just got back and have some work to do, so I might need to go over tomorrow. See if Governor Zhou has any comments or suggestions. If possible, we can adjust the time."

After hearing this, Lu Han immediately agreed and said she would do it as soon as possible. Then she turned and left the office.

An hour later, Lu Han walked into the office again and reported to Zhao Wenhao, "Mr. Zhao, I have already agreed with Governor Zhou that he will be free after 3 pm tomorrow."

Zhao Wenhao responded succinctly: "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow afternoon."

He didn't ask too much because he didn't know what Zhou Xian wanted to talk to him about.

That night, when Zhao Wenhao returned home, he called Zhao Wenjing to his side and told her the whole incident in detail.

After listening to Zhao Wenhao's narration, Zhao Wenjing expressed her full agreement with this approach.

As long as everyone can feel at ease, it is worth spending some money to avoid disaster.

The next afternoon, Zhao Wenhao drove to the provincial government.

When he arrived at the provincial government building, Zhao Wenhao saw Wang Qicheng standing at the door to greet him, and hurriedly got out of the car to greet him.

"Director Wang, you are so kind. You even came downstairs to pick me up. I feel so honored!"

Wang Qicheng humbly replied, "No, no, Mr. Zhao is one of the most well-known entrepreneurs in our province. I am honored to serve you."

Zhao Wenhao and Secretary Wang are quite familiar with each other. Every time he comes to the provincial government to report his work to Zhou Xian, he will chat with Wang Qicheng for a few words.

This time was no exception. As soon as the two met, Zhao Wenhao asked, "Secretary Wang, do you know why Governor Zhou asked me to come here today?"

Wang Qicheng gestured for him to come in and replied with a smile, "Governor Zhou is waiting upstairs!"

Then he took Zhao Wenhao to the elevator.

Before entering the elevator, Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but ask again, "Director Wang, can you give me some information? I can be mentally prepared."

Wang Qicheng looked back around and found that there was no one around. Then he lowered his voice and said, "It seems to be related to the Provincial TV Factory, but I don't know the details."

"The Provincial Television Factory? The one that's about to go bankrupt?"

Zhao Wenhao felt a chill in his heart. He could roughly guess why Zhou Xian wanted to see him.

According to the information Zhao Wenhao learned, the Provincial Television Factory was established in the late 20s.

At that time, the factory introduced two advanced production lines from abroad, and the Shanfeng brand televisions produced were very popular, and it could even be said that the supply could not meet the demand.

It’s just that the country was short of supplies at that time, and basically all the televisions produced were hard to come by.

So for a TV manufacturer, this is nothing surprising.

However, as time went by, their technical capabilities failed to keep up, and their investment in research and development was very small.

Coupled with the squeeze from other brands, Shanfeng TV Factory gradually lost all its advantages.

By the 90s, the TV factory was no longer able to make ends meet and was facing huge losses.

You should know that at its peak, the annual output value of this TV factory was as high as 5000 million yuan, and it had a workforce of thousands of people.

But now, even the wages of formal workers are beginning to be delayed.

As for issues such as pensions and medical reimbursements for retired workers, no one pays attention to or deals with them.

In the past year alone, factory workers have rioted three times.

They even organized a large group of more than 400 people to go to the provincial government for a sit-in demonstration, demanding a reasonable explanation.

The provincial television factory itself is a provincially-managed unit, so naturally it would go to the provincial government.

Zhao Wenhao hasn't paid much attention to the news in this regard recently, but he suspects that the factory must be unable to pay wages again and has made trouble with the provincial government.

After all, it was an indisputable fact that the TV factory had been operating at a low level for years, with workers' wages often being in arrears. As the person in charge, Executive Vice Governor Zhou Xian naturally had no choice but to take responsibility.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Xian called him over this time because he must be hoping that Hengyuan Electronics can help solve some difficulties.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenhao frowned slightly. He was not sure to what extent Zhou Xian wanted him to help.

Or how to help!

Although Hengyuan Electronics is currently performing well, if it rashly agrees to Zhou Xian's request to help the TV factory, it will inevitably affect the company's development plans.

Moreover, Zhao Wenhao did not understand the problems of the TV factory and did not know how to start.

So, he felt very difficult when faced with this problem.

At this moment, Wang Qicheng, who was standing by, noticed the worry on Zhao Wenhao's face, nudged him gently, and pointed at the elevator, saying, "Let's go. Don't be in a daze. We can't keep Governor Zhou waiting for too long."

Zhao Wenhao came to his senses after being reminded by Wang Qicheng. He nodded quickly and followed him into the elevator.

Since he was already here, if the request was not excessive, he would certainly be willing to accept the favor.

You have to know that Zhou Xian is the executive vice governor and is likely to advance further in the future. Zhao Wenhao is not someone who would easily owe a favor like this.

Of course, he wouldn't joke about his own business if it was too difficult. He still had some sense of propriety.
