"Of course!"
"Then sir, please co in quickly, please hurry." The old man was very anxious for the future of his patron. As soon as he heard Ye Hao's confirmation, he couldn't help but invite Ye Hao into the noodle shop.
"Please!"
The old man led Ye Hao into the noodle shop with agile steps, where a middle-aged man sat, looking very forlorn. The predicant and debts of his family left him at a loss, along with a daughter who's been in a daze every day recently.
His wife was even taken away by soone, he tried reporting it to the police, but feared she would be killed for ransom.
Faced with such a fate, the middle-aged man lanted every day about the injustice of the heavens. He tried daily to find a job that wouldn't squander his education, but his enemies seed afraid of his coback. As soon as he found a job, soone would imdiately threaten the company.
His enterprise had been closed for half a year, and he had found no less than twenty jobs, which had decent salaries considering his current situation.
But these jobs, once he applied didn't last a day. Before he could start, the company urgently dismissed him, as if giving alms, they casually handed the middle-aged man a few dozen bucks for transportation costs.
"Sir, sir, today a distinguished guest has arrived, sir..." The old woman hurriedly ran in front of the middle-aged man, excitedly shouting.
The middle-aged man looked at the old man with confusion, finally asking after a long while, "What distinguished guest?"
"Sir, take a look at who it is that has arrived? He's indeed the new owner of our Dragon and Phoenix Castle, if I'm not mistaken, he should be called Ye Hao, right sir?" The old man turned to look at Ye Hao and asked.
"Yes, old gentleman." Ye Hao nodded at the old man, then looked at the middle-aged man and greeted him: "Hello."
"Hello, you must be the new owner of Dragon and Phoenix Castle, Mr. Ye?" The middle-aged man said: "I'm Zhang Peitang, currently unemployed."
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I heard you owned a private enterprise in the past? Could you tell in which industry you achieved high prestige?" Ye Hao directly asked about Zhang Peitang's previous field of expertise instead of making polite remarks.
"There was no prestige about it, since the company went bankrupt, lost everything, covered in debt..." Zhang Peitang shook his head and sighed.
"Oh? What led Mr. Zhang to such large debts?"
"I was duped by treacherous people, couldn't resist the temptation! Or why would I, Zhang Peitang, be reduced to sleeping on the streets, sotis full, sotis hungry, leaving my wife and children unsettled?" Zhang Peitang recalled his past, speaking with deep regret.
"Oh? May I ask which field you led in?"
"Heavy industry, in the past my company was called Zhang's Heavy Industry. But once my enterprise collapsed, there hasn't been any Zhang's Heavy Industry in the northeast, only Tong's Heavy Industry remains dominating." Zhang Peitang reflected.
"Tong's Heavy Industry?" Ye Hao mused aloud, wondering why this heavy industry sounded familiar.
"Yes, Tong's Heavy Industry in the northeast. I hate them! Those treacherous villains, I hate myself even more for succumbing to others' temptation, believing others' words, it was money that gave a sense of superiority, blinding to my own negligence." Zhang Peitang grew more and more angry the more he thought about it, his emotions very unstable.
"So it's this heavy industry." Ye Hao realized now which family this Tong's Heavy Industry belonged to.
Wasn't this the family of Tong Dawei, with whom he had had so conflicts? Later, it seed he even sent assassins after him, but the assassin eventually escaped, otherwise Ye Hao would have a reason to act against Tong's Heavy Industry now.
Although Tong's Heavy Industry is capable, no capability can match financial strength and power. With the current strength of the noble house, they could completely overwhelm Tong's Heavy Industry for a long ti.
For instance, they could replicate any heavy industry developnt, mass produce it, and flood the market, at prices lower than Tong's Heavy Industry. By then, Tong's Heavy Industry would be like grasshoppers on a hot pan, jumping helplessly.
But without concrete evidence against Tong Dawei, Ye Hao could only shelve these matters for now. Besides, he had no interest in dealing with such matters presently, especially since the situation in Shanghai was dire, requiring him to handle those issues first.
"Mr. Ye, have you heard of this Tong's Heavy Industry? If Mr. Ye doesn't want to get involved with this Tong's Heavy Industry, please feel free to leave!" Zhang Peitang thought Ye Hao feared Tong's Heavy Industry and felt there wasn't anything to discuss with Ye Hao, hence asked him to leave.
"Afraid? Haha, not at all, just had a minor issue with soone from that family, it's not a big deal." Ye Hao smiled.
"May I ask what Mr. Ye wants to discuss with ?" Zhang Peitang asked.
"I'm just curious what kind of person you are, whether you're talented or ordinary. If you're talented, I can offer you a platform and opportunity for developnt." Ye Hao smiled.
"Really?" Zhang Peitang's eyes lit up. Although he had lost his company and his team, he still had his intellect, and he felt if given a platform, he could make a coback.
"Haha, no rush. Let ask you first, if I offer you managent of an enterprise combining heavy and light industry, how much ti would you need to familiarize yourself with operations? How long until you can achieve profitability for ?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.
"Familiarization won't take long, the key is what categories your heavy industry includes and what your light industry involves."
"Shipbuilding, automotive, precision machine tool manufacturing, aircraft construction, building construction, real estate developnt—as long as you have profitable ideas, I can give you developntal opportunities. But it depends on whether you have the ability. I'll now provide you an address, you can write a detailed proposal and then visit Peng City's Datian District noble house headquarters to find a young man nad Qin Xiweng, let him evaluate you. Rember, you can include any heavy and light industry ideas you can think of in it. If he approves you, then you'll have a chance for revival. If you fail, it shows your ideas are immature and not worthy of the noble house's consideration to recruit you." Ye Hao smilingly wrote down an address and Qin Xiweng's phone number on a note, then handed it to Zhang Peitang.
With excitent, Zhang Peitang accepted the address and phone number Ye Hao handed over. At that mont, he felt as if he had returned to twenty years ago, the scenario when he first entered the factory to work, how similar it was to now?
Except now, entering the factory not as an employee, but as a senior manager. Provided he could pass the assessnt.
"Haha, here's one hundred thousand, Mr. Zhang, settle this old gentleman, then hurry to Peng City!" Ye Hao smiled as he handed one hundred thousand to Zhang Peitang.
After taking care of this, Ye Hao left without lingering for long.
After all, the won in his family were waiting for him. If he stayed away too long upon just returning ho, he'd surely be complained about by them all. (To be continued.
