Chapter 606: The Song Jiang Bus Factory Reformation

“Although everyone understood this truth now, no one had raised it at the time, including your father. I didn’t think about any reforms and innovations at the time…” Yang Dahai said regretfully, “At the time, the factory was so high in demand. The buses were short in supply. Who would have thought it would come to this?”

“Dad, there’s no right or wrong here. You don’t have to blame yourself too much.” Yang Ming comforted him. “The system and economic development at that time were all the same. So were all the other factories. However, what do you think about reforming the factory now? Can it reverse the current situation?”

“Yes, absolutely!” Yang Dahai nodded heavily. “Factory Manager Feng had contacted several automobile companies who can entrust us to produce some of these parts, but we have to pay for the production line capital ourselves first… ”

“Okay, let me think about it.” Yang Ming muttered to himself and told him.

“Big Ming, what do you mean by thinking about it? Do you want to contribute to the factory?” Yang Dahai said, “Don’t act impulsively. Although your dad doesn’t want the factory to close down, it isn’t something that can be solved by your little bit of money! I know about the production line capital. It won’t work without thirty million!”

” Hehe .” Yang Ming smiled. “Of course, I know. Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t be so impulsive.”

Yang Ming now had the net worth of nearly $400 million USD. It was a trivial matter to invest in a bus factory. However, Yang Ming had to conduct a thorough investigation of the bus factory before that.

If there was potential, then it was not a problem to invest in it. The money would be useless to keep anyway. He might as well make the money work to make more money. It could also make his father happy.

Yang Ming could also understand his Dad’s mood at the moment. From the time he worked at the Song Jiang Bus Factory, half of his life had been devoted to the Song Jiang Bus Factory. He had already developed a deep relations.h.i.+p with the factory. If the factory was closed, he certainly wouldn’t feel really good about it.

Now, his son, Yang Ming, had the capability and opportunity to save the fate of the factory. Even though the opportunity was really small, Yang Dahai was still looking forward to it. However, his logic told him that his son’s money belonged to Liu Weishan. It shouldn’t be used for him in a bad investment.

After tapping his father’s shoulder, Yang Ming returned to his room and called Hou Zhenhan directly.

“Big Hou, this is Yang Ming,” said Yang Ming.

“Brother Yang, what’s the matter?” Hou Zhenhan responded briefly and directly every time. Yang Ming liked this exact brief and neat tone. Although he could also call Bao Sanli, Bao Sanli would spend a long time chatting with him which would waste a lot of time talking.

“Help me investigate Feng Wanjiang, the director of the Song Jiang Bus Factory and gauge this person’s character.” Yang Ming commanded and said, “Then investigate what he has been doing recently. Report back to me.”

“Understood, Brother Yang. Anything else?” replied Hou Zhenhan.

“No, that’s about it.” Yang Ming hung up after he finished speaking.

Right after he hung up with Hou Zhenhan, another phone call came in. However, Yang Ming’s pupil suddenly shrank after he glanced at the caller ID. The phone call was actually made by Fang Tian! The number was from Fang Tian’s home!

“Yang Ming?” After picking up the phone, he heard Fang Tian’s voice.

“Old Man Fang, you’re back?” Yang Ming said with some surprise.

” En , I just came back.” Fang Tian said faintly, “I just saw you taking Little Sister Lin home. I wanted to stop you but who knew that you walked so fast? You disappeared after you went into the car!”

“Sweat… then you could have called me!” Yang Ming sweated.

“Forget it. It’s the same talking on the phone.” Fang Tian said faintly, “Prepare yourself. Go abroad with me on the 4th day of the Chinese New Year. Do you have any problems?”

“What? Go abroad?” Yang Ming really suspected that his ears had a problem. “Old man, did I hear it wrong? You want to take me abroad?”

“Yes, I want to train you. I took up a mission for you.” Fang Tian said, “If you have no problems, just prepare.”

“But… I don’t seem to have a pa.s.sport yet, right?” asked Yang Ming.

“We are going to kill people. Do you want to leave something on the arrival record?” Fang Tian said.

“Stowing away?” asked Yang Ming.

“Yes, via the sea.” Fang Tian said.

“How many days?” asked Yang Ming.

“It’s about ten days.” Fang Tian smiled. “It mainly depends on your skill.”

“Noted. Understood.” Yang Ming felt that his breathing got a little faster when he heard that Fang Tian would actually take him out for a mission! In other words, I am really progressing forward in the career of an a.s.sa.s.sin!

Going to a foreign country to a.s.sa.s.sinate someone? It’s exciting to even think about it. However, Yang Ming’s heart wasn’t very evil after all, so he asked, “Who am I killing?”

“A drug dealer.” Fang Tian said, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you kill any innocent people.”

Only then did Yang Ming hang up the phone in relief. If you told him to kill an innocent person, he really couldn’t do it.

However, it would be hard to explain to his parents about this period in which he would disappear for a while, so he could only lie and explain that he was going to settle some company errand.

Hou Zhenhan’s efficiency in working was fast, but this was also because of his current status. He called a few people in Song Jiang City who had a close relations.h.i.+p with Feng Wanjiang and then was able to understand Feng Wanjiang’s situation directly.

Although these people had a good relations.h.i.+p with Feng Wanjiang, in the face of Hou Zhenhan’s inquiry, who dared to hide anything? So they said everything directly. Who knew whether or not Hou Zhenhan had a grudge against Feng Wanjiang?

The other party was the underworld boss. Who dared to offend him? These people also honestly evaluated Feng Wanjiang’s character.

However, these were still on the surface. Hou Zhenhan actually found a colleague of Feng Wanjiang’s son, Feng Chuan, in a short time and inquired about Feng Chuan’s situation, too.

“Brother Yang, this Feng Wanjiang is a very honest person. People who knew him said that he is serious in his work. Moreover, in this period of time, he is in contact with several foreign automobile groups. It seems like they are talking about a business. It is just that he has insufficient funding and he has discussed the issue of financing with many people. Many of these people knew that if there were no huge capital injection, it wouldn’t work. So, they are all waiting to see.” Hou Zhenhan said, “However, Feng Wanjiang’s son, Feng Chuan, is quite interesting.”

” Oh ? What’s that about?” Yang Ming suddenly became interested.

“Feng Chuan was once drunk in his unit and complained to several of his colleagues in the same department. He said that his father’s head had gone wrong. Not only did he not know how to earn money but he also took his savings to pay his workers! He and his mom were so angry that they wanted to separate from him!” Hou Zhenhan reported.

“Really?” Yang Ming was stunned. Is this Feng Wanjiang really what his father had said?

“Probably true, because his colleagues had seen that Feng Chuan usually is very conscientious with his money. Unlike a typical child from an executive’s family, it seems that Feng Wanjiang isn’t giving him an allowance,” said Hou Zhenhan.

“I got it. Big Hou, you did a good job.” Yang Ming nodded.

“Brother Yang, you’re being too polite. This is what I should do.” Hou Zhenhan said, “Right, Brother Yang. Are you interested in the Song Jiang Bus Factory?”

” Hehe , you saw through it?” Yang Ming didn’t intend to hide it, because he didn’t need to hide these matters from Hou Zhenhan.

“Not me, but an underling of mine saw through it.” Hou Zhenhan said, “This kid is very smart, a good talent for being a business executive. I’m going to promote him as the marketing executive of the company.”

” Oh ?” Yang Ming’s heart moved. This kid isn’t simple. He actually saw my intention from his own investigation. So, Yang Ming said, “How’s this kid’s character?”

“Good character, a brother in the underworld. He climbed up from the bottom. He knows the rules very well.” Hou Zhenhan said quickly, “Brother Yang if you intend to appoint him for anything, you can rest a.s.sured about it!”

” Hehe , we said that he is clever, and yet I don’t think you’re lacking much either. I haven’t said much yet, and you also saw my intentions!” Yang Ming suddenly smiled.

“Brother Yang’s overcomplimenting…” Hou Zhenhan smiled.

“Okay, you help me to train this kid more. If it’s possible, I will have a good position for him.” Yang Ming said.

“Don’t worry, Brother Yang.” Hou Zhenhan nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming took a sigh of relief. Feng Wanjiang was a problem for himself. He had been in the Song Jiang Bus Factory for more than twenty years, so he had a good network. Even if Yang Ming invested in the bus factory, he couldn’t completely remove Feng Wanjiang’s position. Yang Ming would still need him in many areas! If Feng Wanjiang’s intention isn’t right, then his own capital injection was likely to be ruined.

Although Yang Ming can elect his father as the factory manager, first of all, his father’s experience wasn’t enough, and secondly, those foreign-funded car groups were connected to Feng Wanjiang. It would be impossible not to have him!

Therefore, Yang Ming called Hou Zhenhan to investigate Feng Wanjiang’s character. If this person was really an upright and plainspoken person who contributed relentlessly to the bus factory, then Yang Ming would be relieved.
