After the village chief left, Jiang Huashu thought for a moment and then returned directly to his original workplace. He first called the county where the factory was located and spoke with the county magistrate. Then, under the pretext of inspecting the county's declared export products, he made an appointment to visit the next day.
The county magistrate hung up the phone, still incredibly happy. He felt like good things had been happening one after another recently. First, a factory had purchased a significant amount of land in a village under their jurisdiction, which not only increased the county's tax revenue but also boosted the incomes of the surrounding residents. Now, the Ministry of Foreign Trade had called, announcing that the head of the export department would be visiting tomorrow for an inspection. This proved that their county's products were exportable.
The county magistrate felt that if he could do a good job in exporting products, his job position would be able to move up a level.
Because of Jiang Huashu's profession, few outsiders knew that he was the real owner of the factory. Now the Jiang family has built factories in several cities, but the legal representative is always Fifth Grandpa, which is the result of a family discussion.
After Jiang Huashu's "inspection" of import and export products, the village chief was successfully replaced half a month later.
The new village chief was a very tactful person. He started by broadcasting the benefits of the factory three times a day over the village loudspeaker, saying things like, "It's glorious to be a worker," "You can earn money working in the factory," and "It's easier for children to find a partner after working in the factory." The villagers thought these words were so true. Why hadn't the previous village chief said the same thing? Not only did he incite them to riot, he also took them there every day. What would happen if the factory director got angry and didn't want the children in the village?
The locals were very honest these days. They were so anxious that they couldn't eat or sleep because of the possibility that their children's work would be delayed due to their disturbance. Finally, they all decided to talk to the new village chief and go to the factory to apologize to the director.
The new village chief is the younger generation of the original village chief. Because the village chief has many brothers, he used to be the one who had the final say in the village. Even if others had ideas and the village chief disagreed, there was nothing he could do.
After the new village chief knew everyone's idea, he did not stop them. He thought it was a good idea and took everyone to the factory to "apologize" (go through the process).
The apology process was very pleasant. Three days later, the village posted a job recruitment notice. Not only did everyone sign up enthusiastically, but even the security guard position had seven or eight old men competing for it.
The former village chief Jiang Huashu would not let him go either.
After investigation, it was found that the village chief not only embezzled the money allocated by the higher authorities, but also relied on his status as an "official" to oppress the people. After investigation and evidence collection, the village chief received the appropriate punishment.
This incident was quite a sensation in the 1980s. At that time, corruption was rare, and most people were loyal to the Party. This incident attracted the attention of higher authorities, and soon after, a nationwide wave of self-examination swept across all towns and villages, with comprehensive inspections being carried out. Not a single village was left out, and surprisingly, a few small corrupt officials were uncovered.
A month later, the qualified workers officially took up their posts and the electrical appliance factory opened with great fanfare.
The people invited to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening ceremony were not some big leaders, but villagers from several nearby villages, all of whom were elders with a certain status in the village.
The factory's publicity department was full of talented people, too. They'd invited a troupe from a nearby village to perform. The old men playing the suona had their cheeks painted red with red paper, looking incredibly festive. Some elementary school students also brought flowers to the villagers.
