Hearing Nie Zhenbang's analysis and judgment, Wen Baogui felt a sense of apprehension at this moment. He had truly not anticipated that the restructuring of Hongcheng Machinery Factory could give rise to so many issues. From Secretary Nie's analysis, Wen Baogui, assessing with his own experience, was certain that there must be some secret concerning Hongcheng Machinery Factory—a secret that was overlooked by both the Hongjiang Provincial Committee and the factory itself.
Fortunately, the restructuring of Hongcheng Machinery Factory was still in the negotiation phase and had not been finalized. There was still room for recourse. Had the contract been signed, no matter the price, even if Hongjiang Province had gotten the better deal, once the true facts emerged, it wouldn't just make them the laughingstock of the industry; as provincial governor, he too would be criticized, though this matter was being handled by He Yusheng.
