Around noon, Li Lin and Su Huiyang rushed to the city government.

Qian Lingyun, Yang Wanquan and other city government leaders were waiting downstairs to greet them.

Su Huiyang didn't have any close friendship with the Pingyang city leaders. He greeted everyone with a smile, said a few brief polite words, and then got straight to the point.

"Mayor Qian, thank you for the Pingyang Municipal Government's trust in our Textile Association. I will do my best to reorganize the Pingyang Cotton Mill, but we need to investigate and discuss the specific steps. Let's go to the cotton mill and take a look now."

Su Huiyang seemed a little impatient, and it was unclear whether he was truly interested or just wanted to go through the motions as quickly as possible.

Qian Lingyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go with you after lunch. Let's go upstairs first. I'll have someone briefly introduce the situation of the cotton mill to you, President Su."

Su Huiyang smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's listen to the introduction first and go in the afternoon..."

He looked back at Li Lin behind him, smiled, and followed Qian Lingyun up to the government building.

Li Lin followed closely behind. Yang Wanquan stopped him, patted him on the shoulder twice, and praised him with a smile, "Well done. You must have put a lot of effort into inviting President Su back, right?"

He was very curious about what method Li Lin used to invite Su Huiyang to Pingyang so easily.

Li Lin smiled and said, "It took a little while, but overall it went smoothly. Chairman Su is a very nice person. When he heard that Pingyang Cotton Mill needed his help for restructuring, he came with me without saying a word."

"Oh? Is it that simple?" Yang Wanquan was surprised. If it was really that simple, he should have done it himself and let Qian Lingyun see his abilities.

"It's that simple." Li Lin smiled, followed Qian Lingyun's steps, and walked straight to the meeting room upstairs.

After lunch, Su Huiyang took a brief rest in the city hotel, and then the municipal government sent a car to pick him up to take him to the cotton mill.

Li Lin and Zhang Mingchen also went with him. Wei Minmin from Group 2, arranged by Yang Wanquan, also took several team members to participate in the observation.

Pingyang Cotton Mill is located two kilometers east of the city center.

Twenty years ago, Pingyang City’s economic development revolved around these large factories.

At that time, it was also the happiest time in the lives of the factory workers.

As long as you say you are an employee of a cotton mill when you go out, people will look at you with respect. After all, at that time, it was a stable job that everyone envied.

But this company, which was so shining in that era, has now gone bankrupt, and the employees' jobs have been destroyed.

In order to welcome the arrival of Su Huiyang and others, a red carpet was laid at the factory gate, and a large banner was hung - "Welcome President Su of the Textile Association and his party to the cotton spinning mill for inspection and guidance."

The factory building style of the last century and the bright red carpet look out of place together. The sparsely populated factory area and the atmosphere of desolation and decay make people feel depressed and deserted...

The door of the production workshop was open, and the red carpet on the ground was laid all the way to the rows of idle textile machines.

The staff canteen, where people used to queue up, was closed, with only a row of rusty taps at the door for employees to wash dishes still dripping...

Factory Director Xie Fuyun, wearing a yellowed white shirt from washing, led several logistics personnel who stayed behind in the factory and stood respectfully at the door of the workshop waiting for the inspection of a group of leaders.

They seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, yet seemed to feel very unfamiliar and at a loss as to what to do.

Qian Lingyun, Su Huiyang and others listened to Director Xie's explanation of how the cotton mill went from glory to decline, while they checked with serious expressions to see if the production equipment was still operating normally.

Along the way, Su Huiyang had a relaxed smile on his face. He listened casually to the factory director's explanation and watched everything nonchalantly.

The men he brought with him left the team, took out notebooks and measuring tools, and made detailed records of the equipment and facilities in the factory.

After a long time, Director Xie's passionate and emotional explanation came to an end.

Qian Lingyun smiled and looked at Su Huiyang, saying, "President Su, based on your experience, what do you think of the current situation of the cotton mill? Do you have any ideas or suggestions for future restructuring?"

Su Huiyang smiled, nodded slowly and said, "To be honest, Pingyang Cotton Mill is the most backward factory I have ever seen. If you want to resume production, I am afraid you will need to invest a huge amount of money! Moreover, it is hard to say whether it can generate benefits after resuming production and how long it will take to generate benefits. In short, the value of the investment is very low and the probability of success is very small."

Upon hearing this, Qian Lingyun's expression became serious.

Given Su Huiyang's status and position in the textile industry, he would definitely not speak nonsense, which shows how difficult it is to reorganize the cotton mill.

He sighed helplessly and said, "President Su is very insightful and hits the nail on the head! Can you help our Pingyang Cotton Mill think of a solution from the perspective of the Textile Association? After all, there are more than 2,000 employees waiting to eat this bowl of rice..."

Su Huiyang nodded and suddenly asked Qian Lingyun a question, "Mayor Qian, is your municipal government really determined to promote the listing of Pingyang Cotton Mill?"

Sure enough! The listing of the company is more attractive to Su Huiyang! He can't wait to get a definite answer.

Qian Lingyun nodded seriously and said to Su Huiyang in a mysterious tone, "As the mayor, I can tell you responsibly that the municipal government does have this plan, but all of this must be based on the successful reorganization of the cotton mill!"

"This plan is still in the confidentiality stage. Once it is leaked, it may cause unnecessary trouble. Since President Su already knows about it, please keep it confidential and never tell anyone else."
