People from the Central Government
Chapter 535 People from the Central Government
"What? The central command is sending people too?"
Lin Xiaohe's eyes widened, not understanding why Changhong Factory would alarm the central government.
The office of the Anning County Party Committee is bright and clean, bathed in sunlight.
A pothos plant sits on the windowsill, growing vigorously with lush green stems.
County Magistrate Tian's heart pounded like a war drum, the sound deafening, as if it were about to leap out of his chest at any moment.
His face, as if he were drunk, revealed unbelievable excitement under the dappled sunlight.
"It's not official; it's semi-private."
County Chief Tian lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Enterprise reform has entered a critical phase, and there are many conflicting opinions from above. That person... would like to hear more from all sides."
There are geniuses in the world; some people can predict the economic development trend of the next 20 or even 30 years just from reading books.
That person was such a genius, and also one of the core members of the national strategic think tank.
Lin Xiaohe's eyes lit up: "Around when will we arrive?"
County Magistrate Tian's excitement was palpable, but he still tried to suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up: "I don't know. Just keep that in mind. The most important thing right now is to welcome our provincial working group."
"Yes, I understand."
County Magistrate Tian, remembering Japan's exclusive supply agreement, asked worriedly, "Is everything alright with the rainbow tubes?"
"It's alright. We've already stockpiled a large quantity of goods, enough for this year's production. Besides, we have countermeasures in place to prevent the Japan Color TV Association's conspiracy from succeeding."
County Chief Tian nodded in relief.
Lin Xiaohe is the young cadre he has ever met who has the most market economy awareness and the most daring and enterprising spirit.
Since Lin Xiaohe said there was no problem, then there must be no problem.
With the arrival date of the provincial working group in Anning drawing ever closer, a tense atmosphere permeated the entire county.
All government departments are working around the clock, cleaning, preparing materials, rehearsing procedures, and even the mirrors in the government office building have been polished to a shine.
Changhong factory was the first to be affected, with every part on the production line being polished to a brand new shine.
For this reason, Jinshi officials made a special trip to Anning County in advance, specifically requesting Lin Xiaohe to accompany them.
"Changhong Factory has developed rapidly, but its affiliation with Anning County has limited its growth. With the support of the city, the factory can grow bigger and stronger."
Lin Xiaohe listened quietly.
When asked about the city leaders' renewed proposal to upgrade Changhong Factory and place it under the city's jurisdiction, she said she would obey all organizational arrangements.
With Changhong Factory coming into the provincial spotlight, the leaders of Jinzhou City still dared to reach out to Changhong Factory, which can be described as incredibly audacious.
Lin Xiaohe doesn't need to do anything; the provincial government will teach the city leaders a lesson.
Time flew by in the tense and busy atmosphere.
In the last two days, not only Anning County, but also all departments and agencies in Jinshi City were working overtime and entering a state of combat readiness.
The cleaners swept the main road until it was spotless, and used hoses to wash away the years-old grime on the ground.
For some stubborn stains that couldn't be rinsed off, they were scraped off bit by bit with a spatula.
Every report document was checked word by word and sentence by sentence, ensuring that not even a single punctuation mark was used incorrectly.
Countless people had their vacations canceled and were buried in endless preparations.
At the entrance of the state-owned factory in Anning County, brightly colored welcome banners were hung.
It's highly likely that the provincial working group won't visit every factory.
However, these welcoming activities are necessary.
Students drawn from primary and secondary schools across the county, dressed in brand-new school uniforms, wearing red scarves, and holding flowers, lined up to practice.
Their faces beamed with smiles, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning; their eyes sparkled, and their voices were clear and energetic. To present a positive and lively image, they had suspended classes for a week to rehearse.
The route to welcome the working group was meticulously planned. Traffic police had already set up checkpoints at various intersections to ensure the working group's unimpeded passage.
Of all the roads, the one least affected was the dedicated shipping lane of the Changhong factory.
The potholes that had been created by heavy trucks on the road were all filled in within a week.
The trucks were also scrubbed clean, and the truck drivers were all wearing brand-new work clothes and looking very energetic.
Anning County, which had been waiting in full force, finally welcomed the provincial working group.
At Anning County Railway Station, almost the entire county and city leadership team was out, standing in a row on the platform, waiting quietly.
A drum troupe and students lined up to welcome the train, while television cameramen waited breathlessly at a pre-arranged location for the train to arrive.
Lin Xiaohe stood in the second row, wearing a neat short-sleeved suit that fit her perfectly, with chunky-heeled black leather shoes, and her back was straight.
Standing there, he was like a flag waving in the wind, a stark contrast to the veteran cadres around him, whose minds were steeped in the power of authority.
The train rattled along, and after a final whistle, it finally came into view.
"coming!"
The provincial working group traveled in a special soft-seat carriage, which was attached to the back of the regular train.
After the train came to a complete stop, the members of the provincial working group disembarked.
Leading the group was Wang Wei, a high-ranking official whom Lin Xiaohe had met before, followed by the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department and others.
What followed unfolded smoothly and methodically, just as if it had been pre-arranged.
Lin Xiaohe noticed that about ten people quietly emerged from the carriage in front of the provincial working group's special carriage.
They surrounded an elderly man with gray hair, discreetly bypassing the welcoming crowd.
Wang Wei, the deputy senior official who had been under the camera's lens, caught a glimpse of the old man out of the corner of his eye. His pupils contracted briefly before returning to normal.
Lin Xiaohe understood.
That old man must be someone from the central government.
Lin Xiaohe followed the crowd and walked out of the train.
……
In the county party committee auditorium, various units reported their work to the provincial working group.
County Head Tian's speech mainly focused on macro-level aspects such as cadre team building, anti-corruption efforts in enterprises, the appointment system, and the unification of thinking among state-owned enterprise cadres. He briefly introduced the progress and achievements of Anning County's work.
The top leader focused his speech on economic data.
"According to the latest national economic accounting system standards from the National Bureau of Statistics, the GDP of Anning County is expected to reach 23.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 89.6%, of which the color TV and related industries contributed about 13 percentage points to industrial growth."
When this data came out, everyone in the conference room was stunned.
The popularity of PanShi TVs has only lasted for less than six months, and its strong momentum will continue. The next six months will be the real opportunity for them to take off.
To what extent will this figure grow next year?
The top leader, brimming with confidence, declared: "The Panshi TV production base is projected to generate 6.5 million yuan in output value this year, producing 55 TVs. This will drive the extension of the upstream and downstream industrial chains, with supporting enterprises achieving a combined annual output value exceeding 1 million yuan..."
Panshi TVs are receiving so many orders that they're overwhelmed, and they've received numerous advance payments.
These advance payments were then used by Lin Xiaohe to power the supporting factories and get them up and running. Through this process, the money was channeled around in a loop, revitalizing the state-owned factories and economy of Anning County!
My darlings, Happy Year of the Horse!
We're about to rise up!
