Song Yan needed to quickly read the next letter.

The next letter was just to let them know I was safe; I didn't say anything else.

Song Yan called Cheng Youfu, who knew more about the situation in the brigade.

Cheng Youfu said that because everyone was blindly raising pigs, pork couldn't be sold. They had to lower prices to sell it, but the market was already saturated, and even at very low prices, they still couldn't sell it.

Pig farming wasn't limited to their commune; the entire Hu County was experiencing overproduction, but there was no market for it.

He received a letter from home informing him of this matter.

He also raises eight fat pigs in his own household.

When Chang Xiaohu learned about this, he also wanted to help his fellow villagers.

He immediately invested in building a large cold storage facility in Hu County.

Because we received support from all sides when building the cold storage, the process was very fast.

There are currently tens of tons of pork frozen in the cold storage.

"What does he plan to do with all that frozen pork he's buying?" Song Yan asked.

Cheng Youfu paused noticeably. "We've developed a unique flavored sausage recipe."

As for what the remaining plans are, Brother Tiger hasn't said yet.

Song Yan asked again, but didn't get anything he wanted to know.

This doesn't seem right.

Xiao Hu couldn't possibly stockpile that much frozen pork, and he had no specific plans.

Is it really just for sausages?

Based on his usual habits, he would definitely tell her about this.

Pan Lanlan manages two food factories in Kyoto, while Du Yu and Chang Xiaohu went to Shenzhen, where they are in charge of the clothing business.

Song Yan called Pengcheng's office, and Du Yu answered the phone.

She said Chang Xiaohu went to Kyoto, and Song Yan asked her about the frozen pork.

As a result, Du Yu knew nothing when asked.

They are now in the final stages of building two high-rise buildings in Kyoto, a project that has been underway for two years.

We aim to complete the renovations and put the house in use by the end of the year.

Therefore, large sums of money have always been invested.

Therefore, they are not very well-off in terms of funds.

In the clothing industry, they applied for a brand but didn't own a factory, always relying on OEM manufacturing. They simply lacked the funds to build their own.

Investing in building cold storage facilities and purchasing frozen pork—both of these generate revenue.

At this point, would Du Yu, as one of the shareholders, be unaware of where the funds were going?

Song Yan called back to the headquarters of Kyoto Jiaren Group, and the person who answered the phone was Chang Xiaohu's eye-catching secretary, Xia.

"Hello, Mr. Song. Chairman Chang is not here."

Song Yan: "Do you know where he went? Tell him to call me back as soon as he gets back!"

"Chairman Chang...I'm afraid he won't be back this morning!" Secretary Xia said hesitantly.

"What is Chairman Chang busy with?"

"Chairman Chang is certainly busy with the group's affairs."

As for the details, Mr. Song, I cannot say more without Chairman Chang's permission!

"The chairman also told me not to say anything carelessly," Secretary Xia said.

"So, Chairman Chang instructed you not to say it?" Song Yan sensed a hint of sarcasm in Secretary Xia's words.

Both Du Yu and Cheng Youfu simply said they didn't know.

Secretary Xia's first sentence was very professional and official.

But what did she mean by her last sentence?

Secretary Xia wanted her to know, but didn't dare to say it directly.

Her words were meant to entice Song Yan to get to the bottom of things.

If she doesn't want to say anything at all, you can just make up some excuse and say you don't know.

She said I shouldn't say anything carelessly.

"Mr. Song, have you misunderstood something?"

As Chairman Chang's secretary, I cannot reveal anything about his whereabouts to anyone, let alone business matters, unless Chairman Chang himself gives permission..."

Song Yan slammed the phone down.

They're just spouting official jargon at themselves!

After dealing with his patients, Song Yan had a car to take him to the military base. He decided to visit Shen Qian and then return to Kyoto.

Song Yan definitely needs to find out the details.

After seeing Song Yan off, Shen Qian called Chang Xiaohu, who was there this time.

Shen Qian, naturally, didn't beat around the bush and went straight to asking Chang Xiaohu what had happened.

Chang Xiaohu never expected that his second brother would be alarmed.

"Second brother, there's a food called ham sausage on the market right now, and it's selling very well."

The main ingredient is pork.

I established a cold storage facility in Hu County and purchased a large quantity of pork..."

"So, it means the machinery can't be delivered for sure, and the deposit won't be refunded?"

"yes……"

"Are they scammers? They ran off with the deposit?"

"No, their company is doing quite well in Shenzhen!"

"When did you learn to speak haltingly? The problem is right here. Do you think leaving half of your sentence unsaid will solve the problem?"

Your second sister-in-law has now returned to Kyoto!

"What exactly are you trying to hide? Can you even keep it a secret?" Shen Qian was a little angry that Chang Xiaohu was still so hesitant to speak at a time like this.

"Aihui Group is a company invested by Xu's Enterprises, and their headquarters are located overseas."

They could bring a large amount of Hong Kong dollars and foreign exchange. Knowing my relationship with Brother Ge, their chairman directly reported to the Pengcheng Municipal Government that the machines ordered from me could not be delivered.

The excuse given was that there were problems during transportation, which delayed the delivery to the production line.

Their attitude was excellent, and they placed themselves in a very humble position. It was as if something truly unexpected had happened.

Brother Ge is disgusting too!

They were afraid that their company's import and export trade would be harassed by customs, and that the Pengcheng government would have to back them up!

"What exactly are they trying to do?" Shen Qian asked.

"Because the heir of the Xu family business wants to become an apprentice of either his second sister-in-law or Master Han in Kyoto."

If I can make this happen, the mechanical issues can be resolved.

They even promised to invest in us.

So I kept this a secret from my second sister-in-law.

Even without this 2 million, Jiaren Group wouldn't be unable to operate.

They can't monopolize the production line either. I can't buy it for now, but I can think of other ways.

Even if it's never available again, our food factory can produce other pork products.

It's just a batch of pork.

I can use other processing methods to expand into other product channels.

Whether it's the Aihui Group in Hong Kong or the Xu family enterprises abroad, they are listed companies worth billions, and they think it would be an easy thing to crush our small group.

They felt they had the 2 million yuan in their hands, and they knew I had also invested a lot of money in cold storage and frozen pork.

For a small business like ours, this amount of money is a serious financial blow and will definitely hold us hostage!

Now I understand what my second sister-in-law meant by "capital crushing".

I had a conflict with their group, and the Shenzhen government certainly won't side with me.

Our business is too small compared to theirs.

I don't want to put my second sister-in-law in a difficult position regarding this matter..."
