With the coverage of the electric power network, biogas equipment has been gradually eliminated in cities and towns, which is an inevitable trend in history.
After all, compared with biogas power generation, using electricity from the power network is more convenient, faster, and much safer.
Besides, it is already the winter of 1982.
There is only less than five years left in our memory to achieve the ambitious goal of electrifying every village.
When that time comes, the market for biogas equipment will be further compressed.
From this perspective, the market for biogas equipment is indeed cold.
But Cao Weidong still had doubts in his heart.
Because Zhenhua Energy Plant has two main projects.
One is biogas equipment.
The second is petroleum energy.
Even if the shipment volume of biogas equipment drops sharply, with the petroleum energy and several gas stations owned by Zhenhua Energy Plant, it should not go bankrupt.
After all, the vigorous development of the domestic automobile manufacturing industry has also boosted the supply of oil, and it is more than enough to rely on oil energy to support factory workers.
With this thought in his mind, Cao Weidong began to make insidious inquiries.
Unfortunately, the police comrades also know very little about these things.
Cao Weidong was a little disappointed.
But at this time, the police comrade provided some useful information.
"It seems that some historical issues at the Zhenhua Energy Plant have not been resolved. Many workers are gathering there, and there is also the living area of the Zhenhua Energy Plant next to the factory. You can go and have a look, maybe you can find your friends."
Cao Weidong said happily.
"I wonder where?"
"It's not far from here. If you walk, it only takes twenty minutes. I'll show you the way."
The police comrades enthusiastically showed Cao Weidong the way.
Cao Weidong wrote it down carefully.
After thanking him, he restarted the car and drove in the direction pointed by the police comrade.
It takes twenty minutes to walk and ten minutes to drive.
After driving through two streets, he could already faintly see the abandoned factory standing in the city.
Not long after, Cao Weidong came to the factory.
A thin wall that has collapsed in many places is the boundary between this factory and the surrounding residential areas.
Looking in through the gap in the wall, you can see a deserted square, wild grass growing in disorder, and large machinery covered with dust.
Cao Weidong recognized at a glance that these mechanical equipment were used to produce biogas digesters and biogas generator components.
No matter how important these machines were once, now they are just a pile of scrap metal.
"Things are different and people are different."
Cao Weidong sighed in his heart.
There is a wasteland surrounding the factory, and cars cannot drive on it.
Cao Weidong parked his car and walked along the factory wall towards the factory gate.
He planned to find someone to find out the location of the living quarters of Zhenhua Energy Plant.
As soon as I walked a certain distance forward, I heard a loud noise in the distance.
Cao Weidong subconsciously walked in the direction of the sound
Are these people the former employees of Zhenhua Energy Plant?
He walked over, mingled with the crowd, and listened to their conversation.
After listening to a few words, he confirmed his guess.
These are workers at Zhenhua Energy Plant.
However, at this time, the Zhenhua Energy Factory had closed down, and the factory leaders had also changed their jobs. Therefore, these laid-off employees proposed that they want to sell off the production equipment in the factory to offset their debts.
It's just that some leading cadres of Zhenhua Energy Plant have not left after all.
They stood in front of the factory and used their bodies to block the aggressive workers.
Even if there is a gap in the fence, if you want to move large equipment, you still need to go through the gate.
Someone shouted loudly.
"Comrades, please calm down. The difficulties we encounter are temporary and the problems will be solved."
But what responded to him was an even more intense sound.
"The factories have closed down, what are you going to do to solve the problem?"
"Director Zhang, we respect you, but you can't solve the problem, so get out of the way."
"That is, you have already retired, why are you here to get involved and let the man named Li come out? Everyone was doing well, but he was the one who caused this end."
"Director Li was transferred a long time ago. I heard that he was transferred to a hardware factory in a nearby county as the director. It's really unlucky. This kind of person should..."
"...."
Cao Weidong frowned.
Looking inward along the gaps in the crowd, he was suddenly stunned.
Several familiar figures blocked the factory gate.
The one who stands at the front.
"Zhang Wencheng, Ding Qiunan..."
Cao Weidong read out their names silently.
His eyes swept over the two of them.
Time has not left any trace on Ding Qiunan. This forty-one-year-old woman still maintains the appearance of a thirty-year-old woman.
Compared with Ding Qiunan, Zhang Wencheng looks much older, with gray hair on his temples and wrinkles between his eyebrows. Although he is only in his forties, he looks as if he is in his fifties or sixties.
Behind them are some familiar figures.
Cao Weidong could no longer pronounce their names, but he knew that these were the cadres he promoted back then.
Standing in front of all employees, Zhang Wencheng never backed down.
"Comrades, I know your demands. I will negotiate with the leaders. You believe me."
Ding Qiunan also echoed.
"Everyone, please go back first. There will be a solution. Please give us time."
"Old factory director, Dean Ding, please leave. This matter has nothing to do with you and you have nothing to do with it."
Everyone was noisy and the scene was extremely chaotic.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"The police are here, everyone is leaving, leaving."
"Hurry up, leave quickly!"
"It's gone! It's gone!"
These words seem to have mysterious magic power.
Many people who were watching the excitement dispersed immediately.
Like a domino being toppled, some less determined employees followed suit and walked out.
They are afraid of getting into trouble.
Of course, there were also many people who stood still and did not move.
We normally come to the factory leaders to solve problems, so why should we disperse?
But seeing more and more people and workers leaving, some of these people began to feel guilty and ran out.
Of course, there are still some employees who are unwilling to just leave.
But the momentum lost, and it was difficult for the remaining people to achieve anything. They were sent away by Zhang Wencheng and others in a few words.
After all, Zhang Wencheng is the previous old factory director, and Ding Qiunan is also the director of the health center. They are both highly respected in the hearts of ordinary employees. Even if they have resentment in their hearts, they still have to buy some face from the old leaders.
Zhang Wencheng and Ding Qiunan, who were blocking the front of the crowd, looked at each other.
They all saw luck in each other's eyes.
"Fortunately, the police comrades are here, otherwise it would be really troublesome this time."
"Yes, they are all good guys. It's a pity that we have such a good factory..."
