Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1120 IOUs

Xiaowei's mother said, "That's still better than you, you silly girl. It's better to be more shrewd; no one can fool you then."

Uncle Wang asked, "When are we going to report?"

Xiao Wei said, "Just say it's within the deadline, and let us arrange it ourselves."

Uncle Wang said, "Then hurry up and go. They've already taken care of things. If you keep dragging your feet, it'll make you look like you're all high and mighty. Just go to work honestly, be down-to-earth, do your job well, get along well with your colleagues, don't meddle in other people's business, and don't gossip or spread rumors. Understand? Just do your own job well."

Xiao Wei said, "Actually, there are some positions in the city, but she doesn't want to go. I feel that the higher you go, the more complicated and difficult it becomes. Anyway, it's up to you. Our family doesn't care if you become a big leader or anything like that; a peaceful and stable life is just fine."

Chen Xiao said, "What if Uncle Wang went to the provincial capital in the future, and then Xiao Hong went to the provincial capital too? Wouldn't that be pretty awesome?"

Chen Hui laughed and said, "Why don't you just say they'll both be on the Standing Committee? That would be even more impressive. Is that even possible? Once Xiao Hong gets promoted to the department level, she'll probably have to be transferred. Either way, one of them will have to be transferred. It's impossible for the father and son to both be high-ranking officials and still be together."

Beibei asked cautiously, "Mommy, now that you're an official and working, how long will it take you to come home?"

Xiao Hong said, "You have to come back every day! Where else am I supposed to go? Don't I have to come back to eat, sleep, and spank you?"

Beibei instinctively covered her bottom with her little hands: "My bottom is too small, it's hard to hit. Hit Daddy instead."

Xiao Wei said, "You just sold me out like that?"

The little girl became happy and stood up to see what Xiao Hui was doing.

Xiaowei's father sighed and said, "Our family is doing alright for now. From the eldest to the youngest, everything is arranged. The future depends on how you all develop."

Xiao Wei's mother pursed her lips: "There's still a landmine. If Zhang Fu can really settle down in the future, then things will truly be alright."

Chen Hui said, "Isn't Zhang Fu doing pretty well now? He goes to work every day and does a good job."

Xiaowei's mother said, "Whether we're close or not, we're family. I just want him to be happy."

Xiaohong asked, "September is coming soon, will Beibei start kindergarten?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's go, let's go to the government-run kindergarten first. We probably won't be able to catch up this year. It will open next spring."

Xiaowei's mother said, "We should hurry up and fix up our own garden. We can't really feel at ease leaving it outside."

……

On the 15th, Xiao Hong went to the government affairs office to report for duty and officially became a state cadre.

At our sister company, Zhang Shi's printing plant is now operational and in use. The instant noodle factory is completed but not yet in production; we are currently conducting final equipment adjustments and employee training.

The only facility still under construction in the entire park is the transit warehouse, where various equipment is being installed. The transit warehouse has a lot of equipment, and most of it needs to be custom-made, so there's no way to delay it. However, all the personnel for the warehouse are already in place.

Warehouse personnel throughout the province are in place, and the military convoy has been coordinated.

Currently, only three city commercial plazas are still under construction, and the distribution network throughout eastern Liaoning is basically complete.

In Heping Shenshui Bay, the brewery will start production at the end of the year, and all the workers have been recruited and all departments have been set up.

The three residential communities designed for Shenshui Bay are still under construction: one staff community, one villa community, and one commercial housing community.

The renovation of the park and old buildings are proceeding simultaneously, and the planned activity center, kindergarten, gas station, and commercial street are all progressing steadily.

Construction on the Taishan Road and Xingshun Street plots is also proceeding at full speed, with the goal of completing the shopping mall and underground parking lot before winter.

The Public Security Bureau residential area will be ready for handover next year, in the fall of 95.

Zhongjie Shopping Mall was originally scheduled to open on October 1st. However, after Manager Zhang and his team visited Yansha, some adjustments and modifications were made, and the opening date has now been postponed by two months to December 1st.

Outside the province.

The shopping mall and hotel in Xidu have been operating for a year, and overall the results are encouraging. The cake shops, restaurants, and food factories are also developing smoothly in all aspects.

Construction has already begun in Jibei City, Yanbian Prefecture, and Baicheng, with plans to open gradually in the fall of 95. Of course, the approach will be to open as construction progresses, using portions of the buildings as they are constructed.

The process was slower in Longjiang. We originally planned to repair and use it simultaneously, but it turned out to be impractical.

Unlike Xidu and Fengtian, the construction area there is too large, with different functional zones. Forcing the mall to open would only cause chaos in all aspects, so they can only wait until it is completed. As a result, other cities in Heilongjiang Province have not yet started construction.

Now that the Party Secretary of Longjiang is an old acquaintance, coordination in many aspects is much easier, and there's no need to rush.

In Beijing, the construction teams have been coordinated and several project command centers have been established and are in operation. Here, we only need to handle logistics and finances, so there's not much to worry about.

Xiao Wei seemed to suddenly have some free time.

This is exactly the issue that Director Liu and Xiao Wei discussed back then: the boss should be idle.

If the boss is free, it means your company is well-managed and operating smoothly. The boss doesn't need to worry about everything and is able to focus on bigger and more distant issues, plan the company's future direction, and consider specific management and operational problems.

In business management, a boss only needs to do a few things well: manage finances effectively; put the right people in the right positions and delegate authority; cultivate a positive team culture and build team cohesion; and maintain effective oversight and monitoring.

In 94, the government began to vigorously promote the development of civil servants, and successively introduced a number of management measures for public officials, making strict regulations and management measures on various aspects such as the use of official vehicles, public funds for meals, issuing IOUs, drinking and dining during working hours, and various reception work.

This includes civil servants, employees of public institutions, and employees of state-owned enterprises.

State-owned enterprises underwent a legal person system reform at the factory level, with entertainment expenses and the right to use public property being centralized. All subordinate units and mines were required to report their entertainment expenses and the use of public property in accordance with actual expenses, with limits and levels, which led to widespread distress in the catering and gift market in 94.

A large number of IOUs cannot be settled.

The Liaodong region is most affected, as there are too many state-owned enterprises, factories, and mines there.

What was originally a good policy and a refinement of the management system ultimately fell on the shoulders of ordinary people. By the end of the year, countless restaurants had closed down, the gift industry entered a period of decline, and countless families were plunged into abject poverty overnight, their entire fortunes reduced to piles of IOUs. Meanwhile, those who had issued IOUs remained completely unaffected.

In Longcheng, the Jubinge Restaurant closed down. Liu Huasheng and Li Xingping sublet the restaurant at a low price. Although the two of them were not in a situation where they could not get back the IOUs and debts, under the general circumstances, persisting was just a futile struggle and meaningless.
