Revisiting the old place is not what it used to be.

Grandpa and father have always been adhering to the traditional brewing process. They choose non-genetically modified Northeast soybeans every year, and they also specially contract a large black land, in order to bring the gifts of nature and health to people.

The traditional process is relatively cumbersome. Workers first put the cleaned and soaked soybeans into a pot to cook, then add seed koji after cooling, and then mix them manually, then put them into a large bamboo plaque to allow the water to fully evaporate, and finally put them in a warm and humid cultivation. Fermentation management for several days.

During the period, a special master will turn over the koji several times every day according to the fermentation of the koji, and then put the fermented soybeans into a large pottery vat, pour in salt water with a specific salinity, cover the mouth of the vat with a big bamboo hat, and put it The brewing is carried out on the open-air drying field. At the same time, the masters have to lift and cover each bamboo hat according to the weather conditions of the day, and stir the miso to make it fully fermented.

Under the nourishment of the sun and rain, soybeans are slowly decomposed day after day in the natural environment to produce new chemical reactions. In this way, it takes more than half a year to produce soy sauce with perfect appearance, unique flavor and rich amino acids.

As the cost of workers and time is getting higher and higher, and there are fewer and fewer young people who are willing to learn and inherit traditional crafts, and the rapid development of the market has promoted the increasing innovation of industrial technology, resulting in the retention of traditional crafts There are very few left in the industry.

The company has always been in a non-profit state in the field of traditional soy sauce. The traditional disadvantages are that the brewing time is longer and the profit return cycle is longer. However, Gu Zicheng has always insisted on retaining this technology, because it is not only for him The memory of my father is a kind of inheritance and dedication to the 5000-year history and civilization of China.

After Secretary Meng took Gu Hongzhe to visit the old factory area, he came to the modern industrial factory area next to him. As soon as he entered the factory area, it made people's eyes shine. The fully automated management gave people a sense of intelligence and efficiency; the huge steel drum, connected The unique oil tanks and intricate industrial pipeline network re-present the traditional craftsmanship in a modern way.Although the manufacturing method is basically the same, the profit margin has been greatly increased in terms of saving personnel costs and increasing the scale of efficiency.

These equipments in the new factory were imported from abroad by his father Gu Zicheng in the 90s. At that time, the purpose was only to support the industries in the traditional factory area. However, with the changes of the times and the rapid development of China’s economy, modern industrial technology has already changed the course of human beings over time. , and also changed the assets of the Gu family. At that time, the Gu family squeezed into the ranks of tens of millions of net worth almost overnight, but now it has already surpassed this figure.

When the two returned to the office building from the factory, Zeng Weiguo had already been waiting in Gu Hongzhe's office for a long time, and he had already finished a cup of tea.

"Uncle Zeng, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Gu Hongzhe stood at the door and greeted Zeng Weiguo impatiently. The Uncle Zeng in front of him seemed to be the same as 20 years ago, except for his gray hair and old face, there was more in his eyes. He expressed wisdom and loyalty; his suit fit his body snugly, and his straight back made him feel completely different from the feeling he met that day.

"It's okay, Hongzhe, after visiting the company, how do you feel now?" Zeng Weiguo asked this question with a smile on his face, but Gu Hongzhe didn't answer right away, but thought for a while, then he closed the office door, There were only him and Zeng Weiguo in the room.

"Uncle Zeng, to tell you the truth, I came to the company and visited the factory when I was a child. The structure of the factory in the past is completely different from the present, but this is not the point. I found some other problems."

"What's the question?" Zeng Weiguo looked at Gu Hongzhe with deep eyes and asked.

Gu Hongzhe looked at Zeng Weiguo seriously and said: "I found that the company's employees don't care about the company. When I shuttled in the office, no one dared to look up, even if it was a glance, but none of them seemed to care about the company. As with any change, I just felt an unnatural silence and unspeakable terror behind me."

After hearing about it, Zeng Wei put down the teacup in his hand, approached the window, looked at the factory area outside the shutters and whispered, "That's right, you observe carefully, this is the biggest problem of the company right now."

Gu Hongzhe continued to ask: "Uncle Zeng, why did it become like this? My dad just got sick not long ago, why did he lose his heart so quickly?"

Zeng Weiguo turned around and said: "Hongzhe, I suggest you have a private chat with the managers of each department first, and investigate what changes Jiang Wenjie has made to the company in the past month. Proceed, just now I asked the HR manager for a list of the employee organization structure. I still know a few people in it, and they are all old acquaintances, and their personalities are still trustworthy. You can start with these few people. After finishing speaking, Zeng Weiguo handed over a list of employees on the table to Gu Hongzhe, and saw that each page was marked and noted next to the names.

"Thank you, Uncle Zeng. By the way, the office assigned to you by personnel affairs is in the one next to me. It has been cleaned up. It will be more convenient for me to find you or you to find me in the future." Gu Hongzhe considered that Zeng Weiguo was only a few years old after all. The octogenarians don't want the other party to be too tired, so they can only be considerate of the other party in terms of saving energy.

"I've been shown the personnel affairs earlier, you're so thoughtful, in fact, I don't need to sit alone in an office, just find a vacant seat outside."

"That can't be done. My dad has specially taken care of him. He must arrange everything for you in the company."

"Thank you. Your dad is still the same. He is a very serious and persistent person. Although he is sometimes too persistent, he is indeed a born entrepreneur with the unique temperament of an entrepreneur. It is precisely because of this The company will be what it is today if it is persistent.”

After the two finished chatting in the office, Zeng Weiguo went to the factory to find colleagues he had known before, while Gu Hongzhe started with the employee list in his hand and started a one-on-one interview with them.

After two weeks, Gu Hongzhe basically had a clear understanding of the company's general operating conditions and customers' conditions. He found out that Jiang Wenjie had been working every two days since he took office. Or it will take a few days to ask his subordinate Zhang Zhongwei to submit the payment process. The payee is the same customer, named Youyou Trading Co., Ltd. Although there is not much information from the account and the receipt, Gu Hongzhe has investigated it online. With the background of this company, I feel that this is a shell company. At present, nearly 2000 million cash has been paid to this company. In order not to startle the snake, Gu Hongzhe decided not to conduct internal audits for the time being. He just notified the financial supervisor and financial manager. , to control the cash flow payment of this customer, and if there is still payment, he must sign it himself.

Jiang Wenjie had a feeling for Gu Hongzhe's secret operations, but the two of them didn't pierce the window paper on the surface. Gu Hongzhe originally wanted to take Jiang Wenjie away a little bit, and then let him retire early and go home for the elderly. He was going to deal with the rest of the mess Uncle Zeng made a big effort to clean it up together, but God failed to fulfill his wishes. Gu Hongzhe never thought that God would not favor him, but would instead help someone like Jiang Wenjie.

In the early morning, in Area B of the outdoor fermentation area of ​​the new factory, the sun shines on a cold corpse on the ground, as if the body is still alive.

"Don't take pictures, don't take pictures, you are not allowed to post on Moments and Weibo! Anyone who posts it will not come to work the next day! Do you hear me!" The security manager pushed and stopped the employees who came to see the excitement to take pictures , yelling loudly at them.

After the police arrived, they sealed off the area B and cordoned off the area. Investigators collected evidence and took pictures at the scene. The forensic doctor squatted on the ground and made a general inspection of the body. The one who died around 10 o'clock did not show any scars or bruises on the body, and the preliminary cause of death was determined to be a fall from a height."

Everyone around looked up at the huge steel drum beside them, and the surrounding area above the steel drum was covered with aisles, intricately intertwined.

"The corpse is Fang Jianming, a worker from the new factory. He has been working in the factory for about half a year. He is usually responsible for the inspection of fermentation barrels." Officer Xiaotao was reporting the information he had just collected on the deceased to his boss, Lin Qingqi.

"Who is the person in charge here?" Lin Qingqi glanced at the faces around her, and she fixed her eyes on Gu Hongzhe in the crowd. Gu Hongzhe walked forward and said, "Mr. Police, hello, I am The person in charge here, this is my business card."

Lin Qingqi took a look at the business card in the other party's hand, and read the other party's name softly: "Gu Hongzhe".

Immediately afterwards, he looked up at the other party and said, "Mr. Gu, please ask your staff to pull out yesterday's surveillance video for us to have a look, thank you."

The police retrieved the surveillance cameras from Gu Hongzhe, but found that all the surveillance data from last night had disappeared. The security manager frantically clicked the mouse in his hand, sweating profusely. Gu Hongzhe stood aside and looked at the computer and hurriedly asked: "Manager Yang, Check to see if there is any backup data, who was on the night shift last night?"

The thin man with trembling legs raised his hand and replied, "I was on duty last night. Manager Yang and I, but we didn't find any problems."

"You didn't find out how this corpse appeared on the ground? Are you two blind or did you kill this man!" Lin Qingqi asked beside him.

I saw that the thin man was trembling all over when he heard it, and he didn't dare to look up at anyone
