Village chief, your township enterprise sells laser cannons?

After arranging the positions for the two deputy managers, Lin Man's gaze swept over the group of people present:

"The next five minutes are for open discussion. After that, I will assign specific tasks!"

"Everyone is welcome to voice their opinions, but let me make it clear first: you can offer opinions, but you can't just offer them; you also need to propose solutions!"

"If you only offer opinions without providing solutions, then I can only ignore your so-called opinions and treat you as someone who's just arguing for the sake of arguing!"

Upon hearing these restrictions, several people who were about to speak caught their breath, and the words stuck in their throats.

But in the end, someone still stood up and said, "Why are all the appointments made by people you, Lin Man, acquaintances?"

"If I remember correctly, the regulations issued 25 years ago stipulated that relatives should be given priority when appointing these positions."

The sudden sound made Lin Man turn his head and look over. After seeing the other person's face clearly, he immediately closed his eyes, and the person's information appeared in his mind at the same time.

Lin Yongguang, 54 years old, is the youngest son of the third branch of the fifth clan, and also the crown prince of the third branch of the fifth clan.

He's neither good at literature nor martial arts; he's learned six out of seven things, but one remains a mystery.

He's a typical short-sighted person, and also an alcoholic. His favorite thing to do is argue with others, no matter the reason.

Moreover, he knew exactly which way the gates of government offices at all levels faced, even better than the government staff.

Because they would report it whenever they had nothing to do.

It is said that when his second uncle, Lin Yaozu, was the village chief, he liked to go to Lin Yaozu's house to ask for a poverty-stricken household quota.

If you can't get it, report it to the city authorities.

Hearing this, Lin Man pointed at Lin Yaohai beside him: "Uncle Yaohai, aren't you going to call him 'Uncle'?"

"This is a prince from your third great-grandfather's family. Your third great-grandfather is your own third uncle, so you should call him Imperial Uncle!"

Knowing that Lin Man was joking and also embarrassing Lin Yongguang, Lin Yaohai recalled the scenes he had seen on television, slowly walked up to Lin Yongguang, raised his hands to lift a non-existent robe in front of him, and then knelt down on both knees: "Royal Uncle!"

His kneeling immediately put Lin Yongguang in the center of the crowd, where he was the center of attention. Lin Yongguang's face twitched, and he raised his hand to speak, but Lin Yongqiang beat him to it, grabbing his cane and striking down with it.

"You talk too much, but you can't do it!"

"Get out!"

Lin Yongqiang struck Lin Yongguang repeatedly with his cane, driving him out the door. The old men nearby closed the door behind him, leaving Lin Yongguang shouting outside.

At Lin Yongguang's call, Lin Yongqiang returned to Lin Man's presence:

"Xiaoman, you can continue!"

Lin Man nodded, drew everyone's attention to the laser defense system, pressed his hand against the massive device, and loudly addressed the crowd:

"For the next week, Uncle Yaokai will lead everyone to learn the manufacturing process of this part."

"Then I'll go out and look for some orders in the next few days to keep the two factories running. I'll also order some parts and see if I can find a customer along the way."

"Once the parts arrive, we'll begin assembly and manufacturing."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. We don't aim to complete everything in one go; we only strive for progress each time!"

"As long as we make progress, we can earn money!"

"Next, let Uncle Yaokai and Uncle Yaohai tell everyone."

Lin Man stepped back, pushing Lin Yaokai and Lin Yaohai forward at the same time.

Pushed forward, Lin Yaohai then pushed Lin Yaokai forward another step.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Lin Yaokai coughed twice and said in a high-pitched voice, "I won't say any more nonsense, everyone's tired of hearing it."

"I'm just reminding everyone that if these two factories go out of business, everyone will have to pack their bags and go work in the factories."

"At that time, everyone will need to work 12 hours a day in the factory. If you work 12 hours, you can get a high salary of 6 to 8000."

"As for how much the agent will take from you, I have no idea!"

"After the agent takes their cut, you still have to pay rent and utilities. That 1.5 yuan electricity bill, and the air conditioner with its energy efficiency rating of 5—anyone who uses it knows what I mean!"

After saying those two sentences, Lin Yaokai stepped back behind Lin Man, leaving the scene to the others.

His words prompted those present to analyze the pros and cons.

Earning 4000 yuan in the village and earning 4000 yuan in the city are two different things.

Earning 4000 yuan in the village, with food, drink, and even basic necessities provided by their own land, the cost of living is very low.

However, if you earn 4000 in the city, it's fine if you find a job yourself, but if you go through an agency, you need to go through the agency first, and then you still have to pay rent and utilities.

After calculating the costs, there's not much money left, so I can only work overtime like crazy or deliver food.

Work is for living, but if you work just for the sake of working...

That would be really inhumane!

而且，6-8000不是6000到8000，是TNND的6块到8000块！

After analyzing the pros and cons, everyone present turned their gazes to Lin Man, offering their support with their eyes.

After waiting a few more minutes and receiving no objections, Lin Man patted the laser defense system beside his feet and said to Lin Yaokai:

"Lin Yaokai, I'm entrusting this sample to you. It can't afford any mistakes!"

Hearing his full name suddenly come from Lin Man's mouth, Lin Yaokai understood the meaning behind Lin Man's words and nodded, "I understand!"

These three words made Lin Man understand that Lin Yaokai knew what he meant. He nodded, patted Lin Yaokai on the shoulder, greeted the people around him, pushed through the crowd, and walked out of the electronics factory gate.

After standing at the gate of the electronics factory for a while, Lin Man took out his phone, found the number of Chen Zhenhai, the secretary of Linhai Town, in his contacts, and dialed the number.

After two rings, Chen Zhenhai's voice came through the phone:

"Lin Man? I was just looking for you. I just received a call from the Discipline Inspection Commission. They said someone in your village reported that you, the village party secretary, have been abusing your power and oppressing the people since you arrived!"

"Lin Yongguang, right?"

"Tell me what's going on?"

"The management of the electronics factory and metal processing plant in the village was almost completely purged because of Lin Yaozu. I reappointed two deputy managers to get things back on track, but he accused me of nepotism."

Chen Zhenhai on the other end of the phone had nothing to say, only the scratching sound of a pen writing could be heard, as if he was recording the matter.

Once the rustling stopped, Lin Man revealed the purpose of his call:

"Secretary Chen, I need to ask for two days off. I need to find some orders for the two factories in the village to keep them running and get people moving."

"About how long!"

"It could take two or three days at best, or a week at worst!"

"Then I'll grant you a week's leave, but you need to make arrangements in the village before you leave."

"Where's the accountant I requested?"

"You can hire them yourselves, and then register them with the town government."

"I was just thinking that it would be safer to send someone from higher up."

"There's no one in the town who can send someone, and even if there were, they wouldn't dare touch your village. Heaven knows how many hidden problems you have. There are no openings in the city either, so just post a job ad on the provincial talent website. I'll approve your leave. Go there quickly and come back quickly. I'll help you explain this complaint. You must keep your people in check and make sure they don't cause any trouble."
