The second thing that happened was that the city’s garment factory was about to be auctioned off to private individuals as a bankrupt state-owned enterprise.

Because the city’s garment factories have suffered losses for many years, especially last year and this year, the losses were very serious. However, Factory Director Jiang still spent a lot of money to purchase advanced foreign equipment, causing a huge deficit. Not only that, but the garment factory couldn’t receive any orders because the price offered by the factory was too high, and no customer was willing to do business with the garment factory.

Under such circumstances, the government can only plan to auction the garment factories to private individuals just like last year when it auctioned the first batch of bankrupt state-owned enterprises.

Hearing this, Lin Shen was a little confused and said:”The garment factory doesn’t even have orders, why can’t it lower some prices?”

Zhang E ate a piece of fried fish from Lin Shen’s plate and said,”Who knows? Factory Director Jiang is unwilling to lower the price! You don’t know, there are no orders in our factory, but Director Jiang still expands the factory, buys new equipment, and buys cars… In the month when we were laid off, Director Jiang still bought He bought a car and our workers even made up a limerick to scold him.”

“What limerick? Lin Shen asked

“The workers worked hard and earned hundreds of thousands, so they could buy a turtle shell and sit on their back like a bastard.”Zhang E laughed.

Lin Shen suddenly realized.

This Factory Director Jiang is probably deliberately trying to bring down the garment factory.

In the last life, Lin Shen had seen many similar reports. Some managers of state-owned enterprises, in the later stages of the reform of state-owned enterprises, , began to desperately toss the companies they managed, with the goal of bankrupting the companies, and then entering the auction process, and then these managers would spend their own money to buy the companies and turn them into their own private property.

Shai is the forefront of reform. I can’t believe that someone has already done this.

In two years’ time, this trend will spread across the country, and various state-owned enterprises will become private enterprises in this way, including state-owned steel plants with assets of hundreds of millions.

, you can go to great lengths to build it, and then bribe the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to estimate a low price, and then you can buy it at an extremely low price.

After acquiring the steel plant, you will find a way to immigrate and become a distinguished foreigner or even state-owned.

A hospital like this, which is supposed to never be short of customers, can also destroy the hospital by buying imported high-priced equipment and expanding it, and then make the hospital his own.

Now Lin Shen listened to Director Jiang’s advice. The operation feels the same as that used by managers of state-owned enterprises that Lin Shen has seen to bring down companies.

“Any idea when the auction will be held? Lin Shen asked

“I’m not sure about this, just the recent period.”Zhang E ate another pan-fried bun from Lin Shen.

While talking, Zhang E had already eaten all the pan-fried buns on Lin Shen’s plate.

Lin Shen glanced at Zhang E’s dirty look and said:”What are you doing now after you left the garment factory?”

“I? I’ll just collect junk from the streets.”Zhang E said

“Collecting rags? Lin Shen said.

Collecting rags is a good profession now, because since the Dragon Kingdom finally affirmed the market economy last year, the prices of various means of production have skyrocketed. Since last year, the prices of various scrap copper and scrap iron have increased fourfold. Five times. Among them, the village chief of Huaxi Village has a keen sense of smell. He made three times the profit by hoarding steel and reselling it last year.

Nowadays, the price of scraps is also rising, and many people have made a lot of money by collecting scraps.

However, Lin Shen was quite surprised that Zhang E, a chubby girl, was collecting scraps on the street, because scrap collectors nowadays are also about grabbing territory, and fights often occur. It seems normal for the two groups to fight over some scraps. It was not easy for Zhang E either.

Lin Shen pushed several fried buns in front of Zhang E.

“Thank you Mr. Lin.”Zhang E said happily

“What’s wrong with Yueyao now? What you just said…what is she doing now? Lin Shen asked.

Zhang E quickly put down the chopsticks and said,”Yue Yao will wash and mend clothes for others.” Yueyao is different from me. I can quarrel with men. Yueyao’s family are intellectuals. How can they do such a thing like me? The last time I went to her home to find her, she was washing clothes for HD Lao employees. Her hands were soaked in the water and turned white. I really feel sorry for Yueyao. The weather will get cold in a few days. What will she do?”

Lin Shen couldn’t help but tighten his heart.

“Mr. Lin. Do you know why I said bad words to you last time I saw you, but my attitude toward you this time is completely different from before?”Zhang E said.

Lin Shen shook his head.

“Because I know that you may be really good to Yueyao. I asked someone about the necklace you gave Yueyao last time, and it cost 400,000 Hong Kong dollars! As for you, you disappeared after giving it away. You didn’t have the same dirty thoughts as other people who gave Yueyao things. So I think you are a good person.”Zhang E said

“Thank you for the compliment.”Lin Shen had a black streak on his head.

“After Yueyao and I were laid off, I couldn’t help but tell Yueyao, I said you should sell the necklace that person gave you, it can solve all your worries. I told her that I asked someone to find out that your necklace is worth a lot of money. But that silly girl just won’t sell it. She treats the necklace you gave her as a treasure and keeps it in her mother’s trousseau box. Do you think Yueyao is stupid or not?”Zhang E said.

Lin Shen didn’t know how to answer.

“Mr. Lin, I hope you go and meet Yueyao. If possible, help her.”Zhang E said.

Lin Shen nodded.

Zhang E found an accounting notebook from his pocket, then tore off a page and wrote an address.

“This is where Yueyao works.”Zhang E stuffed the paper to Lin Shen.

Zhang E stuffed the last fried bun into his mouth and said,”Mr. Lin, I’m full. Thank you for the treat. Did you forget to bring money this time?”

“The bill has been paid. Lin Shen smiled and said

“Then I’m leaving, I still have to go home.”Zhang E said

“Okay, I’ve finished eating too. Let’s go together.” Lin Shen and Zhang E walked out of the shop.

A tricycle full of scraps stopped at the door of the shop. Zhang E got on the tricycle and said,”Master Lin, this is my career. It’s not bad.” You can earn one or twenty a day!”

“It’s pretty good. Lin Shen said

“I’m leaving.”Zhang E said.

Then, Zhang E stared hard at the bicycle and rode away with a creaking sound.
