Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...
But the furniture from the sawmill is so expensive. For example, a large wardrobe costs at least 30 yuan more than if you hired someone to make it.
Therefore, few people are willing to buy furniture from sawmills unless they have no other choice.
This means that furniture tickets are almost worthless and no one would want them even if they were given away for free.
He didn't even go to pick up Li Xu when he got married.
For furniture from sawmills, it is not the bills but the price that restricts people's consumption.
Now that the timber mill is willing to lower its prices, it has indeed attracted the interest of many people, but Li Xu is not among them.
He felt that Lao Yang, the carpenter who made the recliner and spinning top for him, had very good craftsmanship and his price was fair.
Thinking of this, Li Xu asked, "Do you plan to buy furniture from the lumber mill, or have someone build it?"
"Find someone to build it."
"Buy the lumber mill."
"I don't care about this matter. The child who gets this apartment will make his own decision and pay for it."
...
Hearing the different answers from everyone, Li Xu continued, "If you want to find someone to build it but don't know a good carpenter, you can tell me and I can introduce you to one."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After transporting the bricks, Li Xu and others went to transport cement and steel bars. They were considered to have finished today's work only after all of them were transported.
When I got back to the office, I had missed the meal time, but fortunately I had prepared and brought some food with me.
Everyone got in their cars to eat. Liu Gang got in Li Xu's car and asked while eating, "Was it you who came up with the idea of making money at the fertilizer plant?"
There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Li Xu agreed readily.
After receiving the confirmation, Liu Gang quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, then chuckled, "I knew it was you, kid. I have good news for you. The county leaders said that if this thing can be successful, your elder sister will be promoted in a few years."
"Is this good news?" Li Xu curled his lips. "Based on my eldest sister's education, even if she does nothing, she will be promoted in a few years. If she succeeds, it will only bring forward the time of promotion by one or two years."
"You're quite clever in other matters, but you're quite dumb when it comes to this. I've told you countless times that in officialdom, one step at a time is crucial. Why can't you remember?
Even if it's only one year earlier, it can save her several years of time. Most importantly, this can become her asset for promotion and allow her to smoothly become the top leader."
Who doesn’t want the leaders above to have ideas, abilities, and care about the people below them?
As long as Li Mei can get this done, coupled with her university degree and the support of the interest groups behind her, it would be a natural thing for her to become the county's top leader.
Li Xu certainly understood this matter, but there was still a problem, which was Liu Wen’s age.
When Liu Wen retired, Li Xu guessed that Li Mei would have moved to a higher platform...
So for Li Mei, whether the county can promote her is not so important. What is important is to get this thing done and let everyone see her ability.
Li Xu couldn't say too much and could only change the subject. "Uncle Liu, let's not talk about whether my sister will be promoted or not. Let's talk about what to do with those factory directors who don't like her. It's really worrying to have a group of people like this who could trip her up at any time."
"Don't worry, the county will replace a large number of factory managers this year, especially those who submitted unreliable applications. No one will be able to escape."
"Ah?" Li Xu exclaimed, "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't withdraw them?"
"I just said we won't withdraw now, but I didn't say we won't withdraw in the future."
"Where's the replacement?"
"The county leaders have already started looking. They don't expect the successor to be very capable, as long as he's not stupid."
Li Xu's mouth twitched. Wow, this standard is really amazing.
"From what you're saying, this isn't Uncle Liu's decision alone?"
"Yes, the various foolish applications submitted by those factory directors made my brother and other leaders suddenly realize that these people have been mentally worn down by years of stable living. They have become extremely stupid and have lost even the most basic self-awareness." Liu Gang explained.
"A policy issued by the county government could easily affect millions of people, not to mention our county is so special. So every time my brother and his team, before implementing a policy or after receiving an order from above, they would repeatedly study it to find out the pros and cons and how to solve the drawbacks.
The factory directors of each unit are equivalent to substitutes for the county leaders, and they all have the potential to enter the decision-making level. They are so stupid now that no one is confident in handing Tang County over to them. Therefore, my eldest brother and other leaders have decided to quickly clean up these people while it is still easy to deal with them, so as to prevent them from harming Tang County in the future.
After listening to this, Li Xu grinned widely and praised sincerely, "The leader is wise."
As long as you are not stupid, it will be difficult to go against Li Mei. This is indeed good news.
"The county leaders are not here, so your praise is useless."
"It's no exaggeration. Just tell Uncle Liu what you're saying. By the way, Uncle Liu, when you go back tonight, ask Uncle Liu if the county has much spare funds and whether the county leaders are willing to invest."
Liu Gang was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
“Invest money and accumulate technology.”
"Can you give me some details?"
“It’s a waste to just let those industrial subject teachers in the countryside teach others. I think we can invest some money in them and let them research technology.
The external environment is very stable now, and the industry will gradually recover. Once it recovers to its peak, or even further, technology will be very important. As long as these teachers can develop technology that is ahead of their peers, our Tang County will be able to seize the initiative and make a lot of money. Do you understand now?"
