A few days later, something happened to the Zhao family.
However, it was not the big event that Jiang Zhihao knew about, but a fire broke out in one of his toy factories. Although there were no fatalities, five or six people were injured. Moreover, the toy factory burned two adjacent warehouses before it was extinguished by the fire brigade.
The loss exceeded 30 million!
Just after the old man died, he lost so much money, and the law enforcement authorities found out that the toy factory had poor management, especially in the fire protection facilities. There were many weak points.
Therefore, a work stoppage and rectification notice was issued directly.
The apparent loss is 30 million, but if one month of rectification is included, the loss may be more than 50 million.
Everyone in the Zhao family was so angry that they slapped their thighs, scolded the factory director and safety officer, and threatened to sue them for damages.
The factory director and safety officer are also very innocent. It’s not like they haven’t mentioned the need for equipment to eliminate static electricity, but the Zhao family thinks it’s unnecessary. If there is a fire, just put it out in time. What’s the big deal? Burn a few toys.
Is it worth buying the equipment?
Now that something has happened, it is shameless to look for someone to be the scapegoat!
Without the old man, Zhao Jishi and several other key figures could only discuss on their own how to recover the losses. The most important thing was that the factory could not really start operating again after a month.
According to their thinking, they would naturally discuss it with the superior department. If they couldn't squeeze in some benefits, they could see if they could shorten the time limit for shutdown and rectification.
This incident cast a shadow over Zhao Jiren's head. The incident happened just a few days ago. It seems that Mr. Jiang still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
But when he told others about this idea, he was laughed at by Zhao Jiren and others.
It's only 50 million. Although it's a bit heartbreaking to lose it, the Zhao family can't afford to lose this money. Compared to the entire family, this small amount of money cannot bring any disaster to the Zhao family.
If you really believe that man named Jiang and give him 20 million for free, if there is a fire here, can he put it out faster than the fire brigade?
Isn’t this ridiculous!
Zhao Jiren was so ridiculed by them that he had nothing to say and could only give up.
However, just after the incident at the factory, another big event happened in the Zhao family.
This incident made Zhao Jiren really unable to sit still.
His son Zhao Yubo has been engaged in foreign trade exports, mainly ceramic and metal handicrafts. This kind of thing is not popular in China, but it is still very popular abroad. After all, it has regional characteristics.
I don't know whether it was because of the old man's death or because the fire in the toy factory caused huge losses to the family, but Zhao Yubo inexplicably got involved in a smuggling line of cultural relics.
Those people told him that this kind of smuggling was very common and there was nothing to worry about.
Zhao Yubo took a desperate risk and mixed several valuable bronzes with his own handicrafts in order to smuggle them out.
When it arrived at the customs, it was detained.
After several pieces of bronze were inspected, Zhao Yubo, as the person in charge of the export, was arrested on the spot.
Smuggling bronzes is a serious crime, and even ten or eight years in prison is a light sentence.
As soon as the news came back to the Zhao family, Zhao Jiren jumped up from his chair.
The Zhao family is quite united. After other people learned about this incident, they all came over to discuss what should be done.
Their idea was very simple. They wanted to find a way to get Zhao Yubo out first. If that didn't work, they would find someone to give him a lighter sentence. The Zhao family has such a wide network of contacts, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
