Chapter 529 Intertwined Interests
Because of the color TV base project, the leadership of Anning County has almost completely shifted its focus to this project.
To make the work run more smoothly, the county implemented a bi-weekly reporting system, and the standing committee members worked overtime every day.
County Head Tian convenes a key work coordination meeting every week to hear reports from various standing committee members and focus on resolving cross-sectoral issues that require high-level coordination.
Of course, in most cases, Lin Xiaohe raises the issues, and the leadership team is responsible for resolving them.
Despite the sudden increase in workload and the accelerated pace of work, the overall atmosphere in the county was acceptable, and there were no complaints.
Firstly, because Changhong Factory paid its taxes last year, those of them who paid for their own work were finally able to receive a portion of their owed wages.
Another point is that Anning County is developing rapidly, giving everyone hope for the future.
Lin Xiaohe was warmly received as soon as she entered the county committee building.
The secretary personally escorted her into the office, and as they walked, he quietly introduced, "Our Panshi color TVs are selling well, and the city leaders are paying close attention to the color TV base plan."
Lin Xiaohe understood: "Thank you, Brother Ma."
Pushing open the office door, Lin Xiaohe saw County Chief Tian grinning and muttering something under his breath.
Brother Ma thoughtfully closed the door, leaving the two of them alone.
County Chief Tian looked at Lin Xiaohe as if she were his own daughter, and was extremely kind to her.
"What would you like to drink? How about the orange juice from Pang Donglai Supermarket?"
"I'm fine with anything, thank you, boss."
County Chief Tian opened the cabinet, took out a bottle of orange juice with the words "Pang Donglai" printed on it, unscrewed it, and placed it in front of Lin Xiaohe: "This is produced by the food factory in our county on behalf of Pang Donglai. It sells quite well, and girls of all ages like it."
After saying that, he pulled out two packs of cigarettes from the drawer and said without any hesitation, "Take these back to your dad."
Lin Xiaohe almost burst out laughing.
I've always seen subordinates give gifts to their superiors; this is the first time I've ever seen a superior give gifts to their subordinates.
Lin Xiaohe put Hua Zi aside and said in a relaxed manner, "The old man is so bored at home that he smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. These two packs of cigarettes you brought are just in time."
County Chief Tian smiled and said, "People who are used to being busy will find it hard to adjust when they suddenly have free time. I heard you've been very busy lately, so please take care of yourself."
Lin Xiaohe complained, "I can't stop. Sales of Panshi TVs have just started to pick up and haven't reached their peak yet. Next, I need to prepare for the second and third rounds of promotion. After things stabilize in China, I have to go to Russia to explore new markets. The market waits for no one, and time waits for no one. If we don't seize the opportunity, Japanese companies will."
County Magistrate Tian took a small sip of strong tea.
It's good to be young; you have drive and energy.
"Regarding color TVs... in your opinion, can our county afford to support them?"
Lin Xiaohe: "Yes."
County Magistrate Tian hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Outside the window, the trees are lush and green, creating a vibrant scene.
However, the fruit trees are growing so well that people will always want to pick the fruit. "The city's suggestion is that we could subcontract some of our business to other factories in the city. Our lives are getting better, but many factories in the city are still struggling."
Lin Xiaohe wasn't surprised: "What are the city's plans for cooperation?"
Not every top leader or second-in-command can provide Lin Xiaohe with the same level of support as County Chief Tian.
County Chief Tian had a headache: "Mayor Liu of Jinshi City has specially allocated 800 million yuan to help reform our county's state-owned factories. Of course, to ensure the proper use of these funds, the city will definitely send an enterprise reform team down to supervise the process."
Lin Xiaohe pouted: "The baby was starving to death, and now the milk has come in?"
County Chief Tian sighed, "Why are you speaking so bluntly?"
Lin Xiaohe shrugged. What's so hard to understand? Isn't the higher-ups just trying to use this 800 million yuan bait to steal the credit? Maybe they even want to get their hands on the operating rights of the Changhong factory.
Lin Xiaohe resolutely refused: "Changhong Factory is operating very healthily and has plenty of cash flow. Let's leave the 800 million yuan special fund from the city to other struggling companies."
County Chief Tian rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly; he knew it would turn out this way!
"Comrade Lin Xiaohe, you are not only the director of Changhong Factory, but also a section-level cadre in our State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. You must pay attention to organization, discipline, and politics."
Lin Xiaohe, however, painted a rosy picture for County Chief Tian: "As long as our color TV base is completed, if we work hard for a few years, maybe our county can become directly managed by the province! We have so many superiors above us, which will only hinder our progress."
County Magistrate Tian leaned back and gasped.
Lin Xiaohe really dares to dream!
Making a county directly under the provincial government is not an upgrade task that can be automatically triggered by meeting certain conditions. Rather, it is a top-down reform of the administrative division and management system led by the provincial government.
To succeed, one must have the right timing, location, and people working together.
County Chief Tian never dared to dream of such a thing: "Alright, stop trying to fool me. I'll find a way to stop this, but you still have to attend the meeting with the city officials. Besides, the greater the contribution, the greater the influence, you understand?"
As long as the performance is outstanding enough, the province will notice Changhong Factory.
While it's still possible for someone to steal your prize, it's definitely not something that a mere city like Jinshi can take away.
"Thank you for your support, boss. I'm off to work now." Lin Xiaohe stuffed two packs of cigarettes into her bag and swaggered away.
Lin Xiaohe really has something to do.
Jinshi's reaction was entirely within her expectations. But she was confident that the sales of Panshi TVs would absolutely surprise everyone, putting Changhong Factory on the provincial stage!
In response, Lin Xiaohe went to see Uncle Benshan again.
It has to be said that some things in the arts and culture world have their own way of doing things, and you have to find professionals to do them!
"Establish Benshan Media and a Grand Theater?!" When Uncle Benshan saw Lin Xiaohe again, he heard that the other party wanted to invest in him to establish a new company.
Lin Xiaohe: "Yes, I'll personally fund this and partner with you. Going it alone has no future. To expand your career, you need to build your own team. With people and performance venues, you can establish yourself in the arts."
Uncle Benshan was deeply shaken.
He was indeed in a period of uncertainty in his career development. "Blind Date 2" boosted his popularity again, but this did not help him much or his company. On the contrary, it brought him a lot of trouble.
Looking at the young girl in front of him who had achieved fame at a young age and should have been full of vigor, but was instead remarkably mature and composed, Uncle Benshan composed himself and, after a brief consideration, agreed to Lin Xiaohe's proposal.
Lin Xiaohe clapped his hands: "It's a pleasure to cooperate! I'm now placing our first big order with Benshan Media on behalf of Changhong Factory."
"I want you to create a story tailored for Changhong's Panshi color TV, whether it's a skit, an advertisement, or even a TV series! The publicity budget is tentatively set at 50 yuan. There is only one goal: to make our Panshi color TV a part of national memory and collective resonance."
