Hao Jianshe's heart was burning with passion.

He not only thought about it, but also about what would happen once this matter was accomplished.

The Red Flag Brigade made money and became wealthy.

You can make money and become wealthy in Baishi Commune.

This is his achievement; his superiors have seen it, and he has completed the tasks assigned to him very well.

Then he's not far from getting a promotion.

More importantly, this matter can bring benefits to the county and the entire city.

This could be a way to create a specialty product sector.

Unlike sugar production, which requires grain and is in short supply, large-scale construction projects may not be supported by the authorities.

The biggest gap is in raw materials.

Do you really think the city's sugar factories are unwilling to expand their production capacity?

There's no way to expand it.

There's only so much sugarcane available each year; the city takes it all.

At this moment, Zhou Zhigang was already in a state of panic.

Zhou Zhigang knew that his sugar factory probably wouldn't achieve much success.

Zhou Zhigang learned of this outcome from Zhou Hongcai after the sugar factory opened that day.

At the time, Zhou Hongcai was reluctant to talk about it and stammered. He was scolded by Zhou Zhigang before he slowly told the story.

"In the process of sugar making, a catalyst called malt is needed. This can only be made from barley and wheat seeds."

What?

Zhou Zhigang knew far more than Zhou Hongcai; wheat was only grown in a small part of the entire Guangdong province, and barley was not grown at all.

In Guangdong province, we only have flour transported from the north, but it's no longer wheat.

In the past, it might have been okay; some could be transported from the north.

But since last year, the whole country has been experiencing drought.

This year's drought is even more severe; people in the north have started eating grass roots.

Even he couldn't get much wheat from the north.

We can still find a way to get sweet potatoes. Although the local area is arid, it is probably near the sea, so the situation is not too bad, at least we can still get some.

A commune could easily squeeze out some sweet potatoes to make sugar.

He couldn't get his hands on wheat, which could be used as a catalyst.

"Can't we do without this?"

Zhou Zhigang asked in a deep voice, as if he understood why Hao Jianshe was not flustered at all.

"It turns out he knew all along that the sugar factory wouldn't last long."

Sugar factories have this inherent weakness, so they certainly cannot produce sugar on a large scale.

Zhou Zhigang even thought to himself, "No wonder I heard some rumors before that Hao Jianshe said this sugar factory couldn't last long. Did he already know the reason?"

Zhou Zhigang even recalled that Hao Jianshe had mentioned this matter to Mayor Chu before.

However, he was not among the people who went with Hao Jianshe at that time.

Therefore, he did not know the specifics.

Now, Zhou Zhigang is also in a precarious position, and it's unclear how this matter will be handled in the future.

Zhou Zhigang is now sober, and Hao Jianshe did not immediately launch an attack.

However, this matter still needs to be resolved eventually, Zhou Zhigang heard the sound coming from Hao Jianshe's office not far away.

That was Hao Jianshe's hearty laughter.

He had seen it when Gu Yunyang came before.

"I wonder what good news Gu Yunyang brought to Hao Jianshe this time, that he knows it so loudly."

Even Zhou Zhigang was envious, while Hao Jianshe had initially been completely suppressed by him.

He didn't know when it started, but his opponent broke free from the cage and began to fight him head-on, and they were evenly matched.

If the sugar factory scandal comes to light, those who followed him will also be held accountable.

But what happens after that?
