Zhou Bin was praised so much by everyone that he felt a little embarrassed.

He actually didn't think much about it at the time. It was purely instinctive. He couldn't just watch someone fall into the lake and do nothing.

But in everyone's eyes, this is a huge favor.

Zhou Bin was a little curious at this time, so he asked, "I haven't asked where you are from yet?"

A woman in her fifties answered, "We are all from Qincheng."

"Oh, you are from Qincheng. Are you all here for tourism?" Zhou Bin continued to ask.

A man with a dark red face said, "Yes, this trip is probably the only one in my life."

After saying this, everyone sighed softly, and then no one spoke anymore.

Zhou Bin looked at everyone's dejected expressions and asked, "What's wrong with you? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Because of these people's strange behavior before, Zhou Bin felt that they must have encountered something.

At this time, the uncle he rescued spoke up: "Alas, I am sorry to everyone!"

As he said this, he looked at everyone with an apologetic look on his face, seeming a little guilty.

An old man with glasses and gray hair said, "Director Wang, this is not your fault. It's all our bad luck."

"That's right, Director, you can't keep doing this. None of us blames you." said a man in his forties.

Director Wang kept sighing, "Alas! I didn't take good care of everyone and let everyone suffer. I feel so bad!"

The fifty-year-old lady tried to comfort him: "Director, please don't think like that. You scared us. If anything happens to you, we will all feel so guilty."

Everyone was trying to persuade him, but Director Wang just kept sighing.

Zhou Bin probably understood that these people should all be from the same factory, but their factory might have encountered problems, so the factory director was upset.

So Zhou Bin asked cautiously: "Uncle, which factory are you from?"

Director Wang said with a worried look on his face: "We are from the Qincheng Automobile Factory..."

When Zhou Bin heard this, he remembered that these people were from Qincheng Automobile Factory!

He remembered that he had passed by the factory and was surprised at that time. The whole factory was dilapidated and pitch black, and looked like a pile of junk.

At that time, he also asked whether this factory had closed down a long time ago.

The key point is, he has never heard anyone say what cars this factory has produced in recent years.

Unexpectedly, he would actually run into someone from this factory today. It was really a bit surprising.

Director Wang looked at Zhou Bin in silence and smiled bitterly: "Haven't you heard of it? Our factory has been shut down for several years."

Zhou Bin shook his head and said, "I've heard of it. I even passed by your door, but at that time I thought the factory had...closed down a long time ago."

Director Wang said helplessly: "You're right. It's indeed going to go bankrupt soon. Alas!"

The others also looked sad and lowered their heads.

Zhou Bin couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, you are the factory manager? Why did you close down?"

It would have been better if Zhou Bin hadn't said anything. But when he did, Director Wang's eyes turned red: "It's all my fault that I'm incompetent and can't make money. I have to watch the factory fail."

No one else said anything. Everyone knew that the factory director was not to blame for this. It was all because he was born at the wrong time.

Zhou Bin continued to ask: "Uncle, can you tell me what is going on in your factory?"

Director Wang looked at Zhou Bin with a little surprise. He didn't understand why a village chief would be interested in their factory.

However, he always wanted to talk to someone about the depression that was suppressed in his heart, so Director Wang immediately opened up.

It turns out that their Qincheng Automobile Factory was also a prominent family and a subsidiary of a large weapons group.

At that time, due to some reasons, they had to transform into the civilian market.

Later, by chance, they acquired the qualifications and technology to produce cars.

However, since these technologies are all outdated foreign technologies, their products have no competitive advantages at all.

In order to survive in the market, they have also fought hard.

They produced a two-box car of their own development, called Fulair.

As soon as it was launched, it became popular all over the country, with sales reaching 20,000 units per year at its peak.

However, the good times did not last long. Competitors launched new models one after another, and their models were obviously no longer viable.

But they had already exhausted all the funds in the factory in order to develop this product.

We are simply unable to develop and manufacture new products even though we have the will.

In order to sell as many products as possible, they repeatedly lowered the price of the vehicle, and finally the car only cost 17,000 yuan.

By continuously lowering prices, their sales increased again, but the consequences became increasingly apparent.

That is, not only do their products fail to generate profits, but they even lose a lot of money for every car sold.

They persisted like this for a year, but the factory finally couldn't hold on because it couldn't pay everyone's wages.

In the end, there was no choice but to stop production, and everyone's livelihood fell into trouble.

In recent years, many people have been forced to make a living on their own, and gradually, only the old people like them are left in the factory.

They have dedicated their youth to the factory since they entered society, and now they are watching the factory go bankrupt day by day. Everyone feels very heavy.

Director Wang took over the factory at the most difficult time, and he tried his best to save the factory.
