After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 637: 534, The Beauty Left Behind in Jiangcheng (Requesting Monthly Tickets) Chapter 637: 534, The Beauty Left Behind in Jiangcheng (Requesting Monthly Tickets) Yang Hao did not have a good impression of Kang Zhichao, and it was not just from this meeting alone.@@novelbin@@

When he and Li Manshu, who was still his wife at the time, had come to visit Old Master Kang, Kang Zhichao, his uncle, had displayed a very opportunistic behavior.

When Yang Hao had opened several chain hotpot restaurants, Kang Zhichao had been very pleasant.

However, after Yang Hao’s hotpot restaurants went bankrupt, Kang Zhichao was the one who mocked him coldly in the family chat group.

This time, coming to celebrate Old Master Kang’s birthday, Kang Zhichao had seemed very enthusiastic, but made several self-serving decisions under the guise of small schemes, aiming only to gain personal advantages.

It was only after it was confirmed that Yang Hao would indeed acquire Xiangyang Steel Plant that Kang Zhichao decisively decided to cling to Yang Hao by offering all kinds of solicitous gestures.

His opportunistic attitude made Yang Hao quite contemptuous.

Moreover, there was more to dislike about Kang Zhichao.

After it was confirmed that Yang Hao would acquire Xiangyang Steel Plant, Kang Zhichao’s behavior of “riding on the tiger’s skin” was extremely distasteful to Yang Hao.

It was not hard to imagine that if Kang Zhichao were to assume a high-level leadership role in the factory, his arrogance would know no bounds.

Naturally, Yang Hao had no intention of promoting such a person.

Letting him continue to linger in the factory was only out of consideration for Li Manni.

Manager’s office.

Zheng Dongshan’s belongings had already been moved out, and Zhang Fengshou had not yet had the chance to move his in, making the spacious office seem rather empty.

However, there were tea sets available.

After all, Zhang Fengshou’s wife owned a tea room, making him quite proficient in the tea-brewing process.

He courteously poured tea for Yang Hao, and then the two of them took seats on the sofa in the reception area.

“Mr.

Zhang, let’s cut to the chase, feel free to bring up any further ideas you have or areas where you need my support.”

“As I’ve mentioned before, just go ahead and tackle the problems, and let me know if you encounter any insurmountable obstacles.”

Yang Hao took a sip of tea, reaffirming his supportive stance toward Zhang Fengshou.

“Mr.

Yang, the internal restructuring of the factory should be mostly complete in about a month.

However, the most crucial issue is still the sustainable development in the future.

Although our factory’s continuous losses are greatly related to the common malaises of large state-owned enterprises, the undeniable truth is that our technology and production lines are outdated.”

“I’d like to introduce four advanced production lines…”

“Well, if not possible, even two would suffice for now.”

Zhang Fengshou seemed to think that introducing four production lines at once might be too costly, so he revised the number from four to two.

“How much would four production lines cost?”

Yang Hao set down his teacup, and while he asked, he activated the “Listening to Heartbeats” skill directly on Zhang Fengshou.

Although the System rated Zhang Fengshou highly, caution was always necessary, and Yang Hao wanted to see what Zhang Fengshou was really thinking—whether he might harbor any intentions of abusing his power.

“It might be around one billion or so.”

Zhang Fengshou was well-researched and had done his calculations; introducing four production lines altogether would certainly cost at least 950 million.

Zhang Fengshou: A billion should be enough; if I mention 950 million, and it turns out not to suffice, that would just lead to troublesome additional investments.

Zhang Fengshou: Mr.

Yang asking directly about the price of four production lines, he really does seem indomitable financially; just not sure how he’ll react when he hears the price.

After hearing Zhang Fengshou’s inner thoughts, Yang Hao found it somewhat amusing because although Zhang Fengshou was not a man of many words, he certainly thought a lot.

But from what he thought, it could be assessed that his estimate of one billion was quite accurate; there were no intentions of personal enrichment.

“Mr.

Yang, it’s like this, if we directly go with four production lines, the factory’s finances might not look good in the short term, but from a long-term perspective, the benefits clearly outweigh the disadvantages.

Once the four production lines are operational, workers in the factories and workshops that are shutting down won’t have to resign, and our production efficiency and product quality could immediately soar to top domestic levels…”

Zhang Fengshou, of course, hoped to get all four production lines up and running at once.

Seeing that Yang Hao had not immediately reacted, he promptly began listing the benefits of launching four lines.

Yang Hao listened quietly and did not immediately respond.

With the support of the System, he certainly wasn’t lacking that billion, but he didn’t want to give Zhang Fengshou the impression that he was a “fool with too much money”; money could be spent, but should not be frivolously thrown away.

While the two were discussing the implementation of the production lines…

Kang Zhichao returned to the logistics department.

Since he hadn’t received any promises from Yang Hao, Kang Zhichao was feeling somewhat disheartened.

As he walked into the logistics office, his eyes were downcast, unwilling to make eye contact with anyone.

However, over the past few days, the employees in the logistics department had grown accustomed to looking up to this big boss’s uncle.

When he walked into the office, the employees in the public office area immediately stood up from their seats.

“Director Kang, good day.”

“Director Kang, would you like me to get you some lunch later?”

“Director Kang, my cousin brought some local specialties from home for you to try…”

Currently, everyone in the logistics department wanted to foster a good relationship with Kang Zhichao.

In their view, as long as they had a good relationship with Kang Zhichao, they could avoid layoffs, as he undoubtedly had influence being the big boss’s uncle.

As a result, Kang Zhichao’s status in the logistics department was even higher than that of Sun Hai.

In the past few days, faced with everyone’s solicitous attitudes, Kang Zhichao was pleased to accept them, but now he felt inexplicably anxious.

After all, the anticipated promotion had not materialized, and Yang Hao hadn’t given him any substantial promises.

Therefore, Kang Zhichao merely responded superficially with a few words before he entered his own office.
