Chapter 521
She's finally here!
Chapter 521 She's finally back!
In Anning County, the top official, his expression shifting between light and dark, smoked a cigarette while gazing out the window at the overcast sky.
Experience told him that a strong wind and blizzard were coming.
The cannery owner said that the hundreds of complaint letters were just the beginning.
Before the inspection team even entered the other factories, the anonymous tip-off mailbox was already overflowing with reports about other sites.
The current situation is that Anning County is like salt being sprinkled into a pot of boiling oil, causing it to explode completely.
"How to do?"
Seemingly sensing the crisis, the factory managers each used their unique abilities.
The phone in the county party committee office has been ringing non-stop for the past two days.
"Xiao Tian, what exactly is the situation in Anning County? I heard that the inspection team's arrival at the first company caused widespread panic. Is that true? Work needs to be carried out, but stability is also important. What about the industrial production in our city? You've created such a commotion, making things very difficult for the city."
After the Spring Festival, when spring should be in full bloom, Anning County was hit by a rare heavy snowfall, turning the world into a vast expanse of white.
As County Magistrate Tian looked at the snowflakes outside the window, his heart felt as cold as the weather.
The office was filled with smoke as the two leaders faced each other, puffing away on cigarettes, with ashtrays at their feet overflowing with cigarette butts.
County Chief Tian stubbed out his cigarette, picked up his teacup and took a big gulp of strong tea, his expression so serious it seemed like he could wring water out of his skin: "You received a call too?"
"Yes, from the city, from the province, from family, from old classmates."
The two of them sighed in unison.
County Chief Tian said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, not everyone is like this. Some former leaders personally called to express their support. Enterprise reform requires this kind of courage."
It is clear that there is not just one voice above.
Things have progressed to this point, there's not much to say, we can only persevere to the end.
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! There will be zero tolerance!"
On March 28, 1994, Anning County issued a resolution to punish the cannery manager and other management personnel.
For a time, it was as if an earthquake had struck Anning County.
Many government staff members did not expect the higher authorities to be so resolute in their attitude and so forceful in their approach to this matter.
The inspection team's actions were more powerful and decisive than ever before.
"To date, a total of eight factory directors and 19 deputy factory-level cadres have turned in 426 million yuan in cash for illicit gains, etc."
When the lid was lifted, the situation was even more serious than everyone had imagined.
Fortunately, the inspection team acted swiftly, apprehending all those involved in the case in one fell swoop. Had they been any later, four or five of them, along with their families, would have been preparing to flee Anning County.
In this day and age, without surveillance cameras or online ID systems, these people can simply disappear somewhere or go abroad, and nobody can find them. County Chief Tian forced a smile and concluded, "It's good. Squeezing out the abscess, scraping the bone to heal the wound—the sooner the better. Isn't that better than waiting until it's unbearable and then the problem explodes?"
In fact, everyone felt extremely frustrated after reaching this point.
Imagine being whipped from behind and dangled like a carrot in front of you, being forced to walk like a donkey. Only those who have experienced it know what that feels like!
After the meeting, the two leaders could no longer contain their anger and swore, their voices suddenly rising in volume.
"This Monkey King caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and ran away for months. What is he trying to do?! Does he think we're Lin Aiguo, cleaning up his messes for him? If this were my daughter, I'd break her legs! I'd call her and tell her to get back here."
County Magistrate Tian picked up the phone on his desk and dialed the number that was firmly etched in his heart.
The call was answered.
Lin Xiaohe's cheerful voice echoed through the office, penetrating the telephone line.
"Reporting to the leaders, our Changhong factory's foreign trade department has successfully opened up a trade route with Russia. We have tons of orders and huge sales volumes; all we're missing is the products. Leaders, please help our company earn lots of foreign exchange!"
The two leaders exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise on each other's faces.
What do you want to sell?
Lin Xiaohe counted on her fingers: "Isn't there a garment factory in Anning County? Let's have them cooperate with farmers to raise ducks and geese on a large scale and produce down jackets. It's still cold over there in Russia, they'll need them. Let's order 10 pieces first!"
One hundred thousand down jackets are enough to get the garment factory running.
Starting construction means there is hope.
"In addition, our Changhong factory's Panshi series color TVs are about to go into production. We urgently need support from other factories in the surrounding area."
County Magistrate Tian suddenly remembered the two patents mentioned by the former director of Changhong Factory and asked in more detail: "The Rock Series Color TV?"
"Yes, our first-generation product promises an ultra-long lifespan CRT and voltage regulator circuit. As you know, the power supply in most households is unstable, which is extremely damaging to color TVs. But our Rock 1.0 perfectly overcomes this problem, promising a 3-hour lifespan and wide voltage adaptability. We plan to focus on the domestic market for this product, with Southeast Asia in the CIS as a secondary market."
Lin Xiaohe confidently stated, "According to our marketing department's estimates, the national sales volume of color TVs will reach more than 96 million units in 2000. If our Changhong factory can capture 3% of the market within two or three years, that's more than 60 units! If we add overseas sales, we can probably sell 100 million units for the whole year."
County Chief Tian was completely bewildered: "Approximately how much profit can be made from one unit?"
“According to other existing color TV manufacturers, the cost is about 1200 to 1500 yuan. But we are different! If Anning County can become a color TV industry center, we can further reduce the cost to below 1000 yuan. We can make at least 200 yuan per TV.”
How much more?
200 yuan?
The annual net profit is over 200 million, right?! That's net profit, not sales revenue!
The two leaders were breathing heavily, their faces flushed and necks thick, when they heard that devilish star still making empty promises.
"The color TV industry is a complete industrial chain. We need precision injection molding plants, professional circuit board assembly plants, packaging material plants, special steel processing plants, chemical material plants..."
There are factory names that perfectly match the state-owned factories in Anning County!
The two leaders were stunned by this unexpected windfall.
No wonder Lin Xiaohe wanted to uncover the truth and kick those people out.
With annual sales of over 10 billion yuan and profits of over 2 million yuan, even they would drive out those parasites to prevent them from dragging the company down!
