According to the analysis diagram provided by the system, the original factory area of Chen Yu only had a few scattered ancient tombs on one side of the corner wall.
Therefore, if relevant departments intervened, his factory area could be perfectly preserved. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Although doing so was somewhat unscrupulous, Chen Yu had already tapped into the Western market, and his factory needed to be expanded.
Moreover, many surrounding factories had already been half-dead due to their own reasons, even without the intervention of relevant departments, they couldn't continue operating.
In a sense, Chen Yu was saving them.
With this in mind, Chen Yu contacted the relevant departments overnight, and it wasn't long before they sent a large number of experts and professionals.
An excited old professor, nearly sixty years old and wearing glasses, grabbed Chen Yu's hand and shook it vigorously.
"Young man, you have such noble awareness! If it were an ordinary person who had come across such a group of ancient tombs, they would probably have dug them up themselves without thinking of notifying the relevant authorities."
Chen Yu just stood there with a smile, as he had only reported the tombs under the ruins of Zhang Baichuan's factory area and had not included the surrounding ones.
However, he still unintentionally mentioned this to the old professor.
Unexpectedly, the old professor became extremely excited and immediately ordered people to explore the nearby factory areas.
Despite their exploratory technology not being as advanced as Chen Yu's system, it was still quite sophisticated, and in no time they had analyzed all the subterranean structures in the area.
The next day, the whole industrial park was in an uproar.
"Have you heard? A large number of ancient tombs have been unearthed beneath our land, what are we going to do? My factory only opened a couple of years ago!"
"Don't mention you, I just built my factory last year, I never expected such an incident to happen, looks like I might be forced to relocate."
"Who would want to take over our factories even if we tried to transfer them now?"
"The archaeological work alone will take at least half a year, who can afford the economic losses in that time?"
…
Almost all of the factory owners had gathered in the industrial park, chattering about what they would do in the future.
Strictly speaking, the current situation was an act of God, and they had no choice but to move or transfer their factories.
The most important thing was that most of these situations were also of social welfare nature, which might require them to pay out of their own pockets for the relocation.
Just as everyone was feeling utterly dejected, Hou Jianchang arrived with a small bag under his arm, all smiles.
"Fellow bosses, what's happening today? It looks like there's a gathering here!"
Everyone was acquainted with Hou Jianchang and quickly came forward to greet him.
"Old Hou, a large ancient burial ground has suddenly appeared underneath this industrial park, and we all don't know what to do, so we're discussing it here."
"Really?" Hou Jianchang feigned surprise, "Well, what's to be done? Have you all figured out a way out?"
"Sigh, our entire fortune is invested in these factories, how are we supposed to deal with this on short notice!"
While Hou Jianchang was chatting with the crowd, an elderly man suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Old Hou, I remember your factory was about to close down before, how come it has suddenly come back to life? Did you meet some sort of master?"
Hou Jianchang chuckled, "What master? I just encountered an angel investor who not only provided funds but also projects, which brought me back from the brink."
"Angel investor!"
The crowd immediately buzzed with excitement and quickly surrounded Hou Jianchang.
These days, angel investors were highly sought after, with substantial funds at their disposal, willing to invest in any promising project.
Some even specialized in acquiring sunset industries, looking for partnerships to transform them.
"Old Hou, we've been friends for many years, and now everyone's in trouble. You must help us out by introducing us to this angel investor, and perhaps we could even offer a small share in our businesses."
Hou Jianchang put on a hesitant expression.
"This is a bit difficult; those types of investors are elusive, hard even for me to meet, not to mention that no one's money comes blowing in the wind. With this incident, I'm afraid they may not be so willing to invest."
"Old Hou! There's always room for negotiation. Please think of a way to introduce us, we can discuss sharing some equity off the record."
The so-called "off-the-record equity" essentially bought goodwill; the person receiving it might not seem to do much on the surface, but without them, business transactions wouldn't even be possible.
Now, these factory heads were all counting on Hou Jianchang, or else they faced the prospect of bankruptcy and liquidation.
"Alright then!" Hou Jianchang seemed to agree with difficulty: "I'll go out on a limb for you brothers then! Let's set it for tonight at eight. As for the place, that's up for you all to arrange."
"No problem!"
At this juncture, the group had few options and quickly agreed.
At two in the afternoon, Chen Yu sat in the kitchen of his shop, fiddling with the seasoning packet in front of him.
This was a new product he had just developed.
Simply put, it was a method to process the finished dishes in a special way and preserve them.
However, there were many factors to consider, such as food safety testing and whether the shelf life was long enough.
It was very difficult to address all these aspects at once; the current preservative technologies on the market could only ensure one aspect.
Chen Yu stood still as if frozen to the spot.
But no one else dared to approach and disturb him, allowing him to think alone.
At the moment, Chen Yu was attempting to combine all the knowledge in his head.
He considered every preservation method, from physical to chemical and even biological techniques.
But all these methods were too traditional, with noticeable flaws, and he was reluctant to settle for any of them.
While he was deep in thought, his phone suddenly chimed with a message.
"Old Chen, everything's set up, tonight at 8 PM, Shèng Business Club!"
Chen Yu's lips curled upward. Before this, he had already arranged with Hou Jianchang and had also given the archaeology team a heads up.
No one knew he was the one who had reported the burial site to the authorities, and he could also use the time to buy up the surrounding factories en masse, merging them into one large compound. Find adventures at m v lem|p-yr
However, after a brief moment of happiness, Chen Yu fell back into contemplation.
Now that the issue with the factory had been resolved, he needed to sort out the food preservation technology and apply for patents.
Moreover, this technology had to obtain international certification, even reaching a global standard.
After all, his future products would be for the entire world, and nothing could go wrong.
