Chapter 2762

Zhou Andong left Xishan and returned to the woolen mill. As for what Old Liu would do, he had a rough idea in his mind. Even if Old Liu wanted to implement the film rating system, it would likely be difficult, with considerable resistance.

However, the separation of production and broadcasting would definitely not be a problem, as it benefits both parties. Especially the internal separation system at TV stations, which is a perfect combination of money and power.

Therefore, the separation of production and broadcasting will not only face no resistance but will be actively promoted, with corresponding cooperation. After all, in his previous life he had already experienced it, and the separation of production and broadcasting is a very successful model.

When Zhou Andong's car arrived at the gate, the gatekeeper Old Chen rushed out of the guardhouse as if stepping on a fire wheel, quickly opened the gate, and then stood straight-backed at one side.

Zhou Andong sat in the car, and seeing Old Chen standing straight there reminded him of Old Zhao, and he couldn't help but chuckle. He rolled down the window and said to Chen Xinggui.

"Old Chen, I heard you twisted your waist a few days ago. Is it better? If not, I'll give you a few days off to rest properly."

Chen Xinggui didn't expect that the factory director would know about this small matter of his and even care so much, touching him to the point of nearly tearing up. He straightened his waist and spoke loudly.

"Thank you, Director, for your concern. My waist has already healed."

Zhou Andong nodded and said gently: "Old Chen, you're an old-timer at our woolen mill. If you have any problems you can't solve, just report to the factory. As long as it's reasonable and compliant, the factory will definitely resolve it for you."

Chen Xinggui's eyes welled up; the factory director treated him too well, and in this life he could only dedicate himself to the director to repay the kindness of being noticed.

"Director...... thank you...... thank you......"

Chen Xinggui was so moved he didn't know what to say, just repeatedly saying thank you.

"Your waist injury definitely isn't fully healed yet. Hurry back to the guardhouse to rest." Zhou Andong rolled up the window, couldn't help but smile, and thought Old Chen's flattery skills paled compared to Old Zhao's. If Old Zhao were here today, his butt would be swollen from all the ass-kissing.

Wang Wentian parked his car below the factory office building, and Deng Minhui, the acting head of the Security Department, came out of the office building with a smile on his face, saw Zhou Andong, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Director!"

Seeing Deng Minhui's smiling face, Zhou Andong said with a smile: "What's got you so happy? Are you going to take a daughter-in-law?"

"My son is only fourteen, so taking a daughter-in-law is still far off." Deng Minhui's smile grew brighter: "The relatives of those hooligans detained in Warehouse No. 2 have come to pay the fines."

"Looks like the people behind those hooligans can't sit still anymore." Zhou Andong nodded: "Have those hooligans confessed who ordered them to cause trouble at the woolen mill?"

"They have!" Deng Minhui said: "Liang Shaohong, Deputy Director of the Municipal Industry Work Committee."

Zhou Andong narrowed his eyes: "This woman is definitely on the same rope as Shi Guoqiang and the others, and there's surely someone else behind her. Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun have been double-checked, and Liang Shaohong definitely can't escape.

As for whether the higher-ups will dig deeper and pull out everyone tied to that rope, that's for them to consider, not our concern. You personally oversee the fine collection, and this month everyone in the Security Department will get an extra two hundred yuan bonus, all coming from these fines."

"Thank you, Director!" Deng Minhui was overjoyed, stood at attention, and then saluted.

Zhou Andong then asked: "How's the recovery of the embezzled funds going?"

Deng Minhui immediately replied: "Because of the wanted notice, over thirty families have voluntarily returned the stolen money and requested the cancellation of the wanted notice, which I agreed to. This morning I was at home and received fourteen people, also returning money and requesting the cancellation of the wanted notice, and I agreed as well."

"You've done well. Wanting them isn't really about arresting them, but about applying pressure so they voluntarily return the money." Zhou Andong patted Deng Minhui on the shoulder: "After the woolen mill's reform, your acting position can be removed."

Hearing this, Deng Minhui was as if injected with chicken blood, stomped his feet with a slap, and saluted again: "Director, within half a month I will definitely recover all the embezzled funds."

Zhou Andong laughed: "If you can recover everything within half a month, I'll give you a major merit. If you can't recover it, it doesn't matter, but the merit definitely won't be there."

Deng Minhui said confidently: "Guaranteed to complete the task."

"Go!" Zhou Andong ordered: "Record the identity information of those hooligans properly. Next time they dare to cause trouble at the woolen mill, it won't be so easy for them."

"Yes!" Deng Minhui responded, turned, and walked away.

Zhou Andong also entered the factory office building, went up to the third floor, and hadn't even reached the office door yet when Tang Wenjuan came out of her own office, as if she knew he was coming.

"Director!" Tang Wenjuan said: "A Mr. Ye from Wencheng wants to see you."

As Tang Wenjuan's words fell, a thin, somewhat disheveled-haired middle-aged man in ordinary clothes walked out of her office.

"Zhou Dong!" This middle-aged man hurriedly extended his hand upon seeing Zhou Andong, respectfully saying: "Hello, I'm Ye Wen Gui, general manager of Ye Feng Electric Vehicles."

Zhou Andong didn't expect that the father of electric vehicles would come to Jingcheng to find him. However, Ye Wen Gui had no money in hand, and if he didn't want to sell his company and technology patents to Fatty Waiguo, he could only try his luck with him.

It's not that only he could come up with money, but at this time domestically no one would be interested in electric vehicles, no one would think they have any prospects, and spending money researching electric vehicles would be like throwing money into the water.

So many people scold Ye Wen Gui as a fool, abandoning a good business to research electric vehicles, squandering his family fortune. Under these circumstances, it's naturally impossible to attract investment.

"So it's Ye General Manager, I've long heard of you." Zhou Andong was very polite as he shook hands with Ye Wen Gui, smiling and saying: "Come on, let's talk in my office."

Tang Wenjuan pushed open the office door, stepped aside to let Zhou Andong and Ye Wen Gui in, then poured two cups of tea for them and silently withdrew.

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette, offered one to Ye Wen Gui, lit one for himself, and got straight to the point: "Ye General Manager, you've come all this way to Jingcheng to find me—there must be something important. You speak."

Ye Wen Gui was stunned; he didn't expect Zhou Andong to be so direct, and since that's the case, he naturally wouldn't beat around the bush. He opened his briefcase and pulled out a thick stack of documents.

"Zhou Dong, please look at this first."

Zhou Andong took them, and these documents turned out to be test data and patent rights for electric vehicles.

Ye Wen Gui felt very uneasy in his heart; over the past six months or so, he had approached many people for investment. No matter who saw him, they were polite, but in the end they would politely refuse. As for the materials he brought out, the other party wouldn't even look at them.

Now, seeing Zhou Andong examining them so carefully, his confidence couldn't help but increase, and his eyes lit up.

"Zhou Dong, with the growing global attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, electric vehicles will face unprecedented development opportunities, with very broad prospects......"
