My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 183: The old tricks are still useful
After eating the pancake on top, Weidong was asked to give the mutton soup steamed bun on the bottom.

Breaking the bubble, he said, "Let me first tell you about the possible benefits, so that if something goes wrong later, you won't say that you were dazzled by my bubbles and forgot the risks."

The only single-seater is the driver's seat, but it's uncomfortable to sit sideways because of the steering wheel.

Weidong gestured on the steering wheel, "I didn't brag in Shangzhou, but you should know I've already put a sanitary napkin ad on Zhuan'ertai. What does that mean? It means I'm capable of selling my products nationwide. Otherwise, why would I spend so much money and find ways to advertise on Zhuan'ertai every day? Because I've already got Feiyan sanitary napkins, Ax cameras, and Triumph film listed in the National Supply and Marketing Cooperatives."

Some people still understood the significance of this and immediately applauded: "It's remarkable that all 136 grassroots cooperatives of the Shangzhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative can be fully stocked, not to mention the national headquarters!"

The others must have been shocked.

Rang Weidong nodded. "There are 30,000 to 40,000 points nationwide. My people will be responsible for distributing the products to the provincial level. Currently, I can only reach about 10 provinces. I will strive to reach 20 provinces by the end of this year. My production capacity is about 300,000 bags per day, and I will increase it by 20,000 to 30,000 bags per day."

He swiped his hand across the steering wheel. "Similarly, we're selling about 20,000 X-ray cameras per week, and they're basically sold out as soon as they're delivered to the sales force. Triumph film is a product of the First Film Factory under the Chemical Industry Department, and we're aiming for sales of over 10 million rolls per year."

Everyone was a little stunned. We are just Shangzhou, an inconspicuous prefecture-level city in the country. The saying that we are the third city after Rongdu and Jiangzhou is just a self-flattering claim.

How could we be so lucky to see such a national-level big shot, who is so young, in front of us!
Rang Weidong didn't hesitate to speak his mind. He pulled the Type 77 rifle from his waist and placed it in front of the windshield. "Old Ding checked my gun license. I'm the deputy director of sales at the Xishan Factory, which produces cameras. I'm legally allowed to carry a gun while on business trips... Just four days ago, I was in the capital of northern Hebei Province, inspecting the model representative of the nation's first contracted state-owned factory. At night, I was surrounded by robbers while visiting a guesthouse. They killed three people and seriously injured another. One of my comrades is still recovering from his injuries."

This violent guy pretended to be simple and wild, even Ding Haifeng was stunned, damn, you didn’t even tell me that you killed three people?

Weidong then tightened his purse strings. "I'm saying all this to tell you I have the money to support this reform demonstration zone, and I'm also ruthless enough to deal with those who are tampering with it. Don't play tricks on me. You can choose not to participate, but you can't hinder or cause trouble... I'll reveal one more piece of information, no, two pieces of information. I bought the Feiyan sanitary napkin factory for 1.2 million yuan, and the person who inscribed the brand name was this person..."

He casually wrote a single word on the windshield next to him, and everyone stood in awe, not daring to say a word.

Then he continued: "Triumph Film was selected for the photography exhibition in Sunshine Daily. You can go and see who wrote the inscription yourself, but these are not the most important things. Next, I will invest in a TV series for the brother of this leader who sacrificed his life. I will even invite him to film in Shangzhou..."

As he spoke, he wrote out his name again, and everyone was ready to kneel down.

Even if they are given more opportunities, they will not dare to have any other thoughts.

Directly stated: "Weidong, you decide what to do, we will fully support you!"

"Yes, Weidong, we have been in the Reform Committee for half a year. Even if I haven't been involved in every aspect of the work, I have supported it silently. Now you should give us clear arrangements on how to do it!"

Alas, Jin Zhuoqun was right. The support from the old leaders and the economic foundation of huge daily sales were not as deterrent as these two inscriptions.

Shen Lao San was not wrong. This routine that has existed since ancient times has been useful for thousands of years.

Weidong didn't need to waste words: "Since the leadership has entrusted the Beijiaochang area to us to transform it, we must set a benchmark, set an example, an outstanding and advanced model that the whole province, even the whole country, can look up to. So, who will be this model benchmark, who will be this prominent figure? It may be on the national stage, or it may end up in jail! Who will do it?"

Everyone was quiet.

Damn, this is like ice and fire.

The corners of Ding Haifeng's mouth twitched.

Let Weidong speak first: "I can see that some people are wondering why you don't do this job. It's simple. I'm the one who really does the work. This time I went to the Jibei Paper Mill. The director has hundreds of people visiting every day to learn from him, and there are media reporters from all over the country who come to interview him every day. He has to give reform reports for several hours every day. How can I do anything? I went around the country to raise money and brought it back to Shangzhou to build Beijiaochang. So someone must represent Shangzhou and Beijiaochang to face all the scenes."

The reason why white gloves can be described as so refreshing and refined is that people didn't have this concept at that time.

Not many people can think of puppets.

He added, "Don't worry, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to escape. No one here who doesn't quit will be able to escape, because you don't know how bold the city leaders are. I hope to build a city with Pengzhen in the south, Shangzhou in the west, and Jiaochang in the north."

As a result, this statement did not have much response, because no one present realized what Pengzhen, the small fishing village, would become in the future.

But after giving everyone some time to recover, a person from the court and a person from the taxation department spoke up almost at the same time: "I can come." "Can I do it?"

You can probably hear the difference from the tone of voice.

Those who were able to join this task force were neither too rare nor too valuable.

After all, catching reformers and economic criminals does not require high technical skills and is more politically sensitive.

Just like Ding Haifeng, who graduated from the police academy and had worked at the grassroots level for several years, he had the ability but no achievements, so he came here in disguise to monitor people and later led the team to arrest them.

Later in life, he was somewhat influenced by this mission, and he always kept You Qili's hat on his head.

But for someone without much background, being able to participate was a blessing at the time; otherwise, it would have taken him many years to become deputy director. Therefore, these people were all young and energetic, but they didn't have many connections.

The most interesting thing is that Weidong must have known this tax official, but he only remembered that he was promoted to a section chief about ten years later, and then his career stagnated until retirement because of an extramarital affair.

So he thought about it and decided, "Old Tian will be the principal, and Jiang Yong, you will be the deputy. From now on, it will be called Beijiaochang Industrial Park, director or deputy director. There won't be any specific administrative levels. But if you must stay in the establishment, then tell me clearly. You will receive the salary according to the establishment. If you can eventually be promoted to a high-ranking official, that's your choice. The salary will be a small bonus at most, which won't be a big deal. You will get a higher salary if you are not in the establishment. Do you understand the difference?"

To the old security guard, he didn't know what the hemp spinning factory could do, but these details were very clear to him.

If you want to be an official, don't leave any evidence of you taking bribes. If you want to make money, don't use the title of an official as an excuse: "This position will definitely involve a lot of money. Whether you can resist it, overtly or covertly, depends on you."

The other people must be super confused. What the hell, you two just opened your mouth and immediately the principal and deputy positions appeared.

One guy quickly lost his mind, probably because of this scene.

Actually, anyone could do it.

Jiang Yong was indeed more delicate and slick. "I understand. Regarding the salary arrangement... let's take a look first and then decide. What exactly should we do?"

Old Tian glanced at his deputy and adjusted his expression to reflect the same question.

Others are more focused.

Let Weidong use the steering wheel as a map. There were no satellite maps in those days, and this kind of prefecture-level city did not sell urban maps because there were basically no outsiders coming here.

"This is the road, leading out of the city. The busiest and most noisy area, and the one that most affects the appearance of the area, is the open space where people go to market. It's not even big enough for a basketball court, but so many people are crowding the streets, impacting traffic and spreading mud and dust everywhere."

Ding Haifeng also wanted to show off, although he knew he had another identity and connections: "There are also many things like stealing and pickingpocketing."

Wei Dong nodded in satisfaction. "So we'll follow this open space and dig a piece of dirt from the cliff to expand the area. Then we'll build a wall around it and build houses. We'll build a circle like this. There's a long cement platform in the middle of the open space, which will be a free market. We'll look around and see if anyone comes to rent it as a storefront. From now on, anyone who comes to the market to do business must go inside, or Old Ding will drive them away!"

In fact, at this time, Weidong began to feel the control over the game.

Holy shit, it really is just a matter of swiping the mouse and the place changes just as I wished. The county governor and the mayor didn't even want to do it, or at least they didn't have the budget.

But wealthy businessmen do not have this power.

So cool.

Ding Haifeng just then said: "Yes! Let the director."

The other people looked at him again, and looked at Weidong's reaction of smiling and nodding with satisfaction. The duo just now began to reflect on whether their attitude was not good enough.

Someone immediately started to speak up: "Director, that's a great idea! It shouldn't cost much, but it'll instantly give the place a brand new look. And then, should we clean up the road? I can contact the Transportation Bureau and get the sanitation trucks to come over for a thorough cleanup."

Rang Weidong also praised him: "Old Xing, this is a good move. How about you be in charge of coordinating the government agencies from now on, and be considered the vice president of our Beijiaochang Urban Development Co., Ltd. In fact, we all get salaries from this company, and we will all have some shares. I don't want you to invest money, and I want to give some to the city. Because building the market is just a cleanup job, the next step is to build factories and buildings, all of which will definitely be very valuable."

Everyone's expressions changed.

Weidong had already prepared all those things beforehand: sanitary napkins at one yuan a pack, hundreds of thousands of packs a day!

If the profits could really flow back and gather in such a small place as he said, it would be easy.

There is no need to take out loans or raise funds, and no one needs to worry about wages or income. Things can be done naturally.

The fact that they didn't rush to speak immediately showed that they had some experience in the system, but their expressions were all full of encouragement and expectation, and they applauded together.

Let Weidong slide to the other side: "I only said it was dangerous now. I hope you will remember it clearly and remind each other. First of all, this is a risky exploration of the system. If there is any problem and it is labeled as a capitalist restoration and the economy is in command, your path to a political career will be completely blocked. You may even end up in jail like Old You, because this is similar to what he did."

Ding Haifeng chimed in silently, "Yeah, I understand. If our current situation fails, will they also confess to conspiring and holding meetings to disrupt the economic order, just like You Qili and the others?"

Some people were so scared that they quit on the spot.

Of course, everyone present knew that he was an idiot.
