Secretary Chen couldn't help but smile and nodded when he heard this.
Su Yu glanced around and saw that Li Chunhua and Su Dayong were not there. She said to Secretary Chen, "Secretary Chen, what do you think about Donglin Village and our village borrowing oxen?"
Secretary Chen naturally understood what was meant. He looked at the other commune leaders beside him with a serious expression, "What do you think?"
The women's director said, "Donglin Village's Li Dahai is using this as an excuse for revenge. He's treating Xiaohe Village this way because of personal grudges. This shows a problem with his ideological awareness. I think Donglin Village should be revoked from this year's commune rankings and its title as an advanced and proactive model village."
"Yes, not only that, Li Dahai also needs ideological education. How can we do things this way? If our commune allows this to continue, and other brigades in the commune follow suit, what will we do?"
Another commune leader spoke up. After hearing the commune leaders speak up, Secretary Chen said to Su Yu, "Comrade Su Yu, what do you think?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "Secretary Chen, I have no objection to the commune leaders' handling of the matter. By the way, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you, Secretary Chen."
Hearing Su Yu say this, Secretary Chen and others immediately became interested.
Secretary Chen: "What's going on? You're so mysterious."
Gu Feiyue and Wang Yue were also confused about what relationship Su Yu wanted to sell. Su Yu smiled and said, "I work as a technician at the steel mill in the city. Recently, I have been guiding some technical research work. I have thought about it. In order to stimulate the economic development of the rural commune and improve the living standards of the villagers in our Sidaohe Commune, I want to apply to the steel mill to build a branch factory in the countryside to specialize in the research and production of steel products."
Hearing Su Yu say this, Secretary Chen and others were immediately stunned. Wow, this is no small job.
Secretary Chen recovered, his eyes filled with surprise and anticipation. He clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Comrade Su Yu, your idea is truly remarkable! Building a branch factory? If this succeeds, our Sidaohe Commune will usher in great development! Not only will the villagers have stable jobs, but their incomes will also increase significantly. Their lives will soon be elevated to a higher level."
The women's director was also excited. She took Su Yu's hand and said, "Su Yu, you are really a great contributor to our commune! If this steel plant branch is built, the girls and boys in our commune will no longer have to go to the city. They can do skilled work at home and take care of the elderly and children at home. This is a great thing that kills two birds with one stone!"
Another commune leader nodded repeatedly and added, "But building a factory is no small matter. Land planning, personnel recruitment, equipment imports, and coordination with the steel mills in the city—every aspect must be carefully considered. But if we succeed, our commune will be truly different in the future. We might even become a model for neighboring communes to emulate!"
Gu Feiyue and Wang Yue also didn't expect that Su Yu actually wanted to build a steel plant branch in the rural commune.
Is this idea too exaggerated?
"Su Yu, this might be a bit difficult, right?" Gu Feiyue said. He believed in Su Yu, but he was not sure if Su Yu could convince the leaders of the steel plant to build a branch in the countryside.
Su Yu didn't care and said confidently, "Recently at the steel plant, I've been in charge of technical guidance, specializing in researching the latest CNC lathes and a plastic electric fan. After entering the city, I've considered it comprehensively and found that the tractor we're driving now has some problems. The engine is not working well, so after entering the city, I plan to develop an improved engine.
I have ideas not only for these engines, but also for industrial products and daily necessities. With these technologies, I am confident that the leaders of the steel plant can establish a branch factory in the rural commune."
Hearing Su Yu's confident answer, Secretary Chen and the others were dumbfounded. It felt like a fairy tale. Was it so exaggerated?
Secretary Chen came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and said in a voice with a hint of disbelief: "Comrade Su Yu, if this...if this really works, it will be incredible! Any of these technologies you mentioned would be a powerful weapon that can change the face of our commune.
But developing a new engine is no easy task. Funding, equipment, materials—everything is a challenge. Where do you plan to start?"
The director of the women's department also came to her senses, her eyes full of worry. "Yes, Su Yu, we know you have the ability, but this is too difficult. What if the technology can't be developed by then, and the steel mill is unwilling to build a branch factory? What will we do then?"
Another commune leader pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly, "Master Su, I think your idea, while bold, is feasible. However, before we act, we need to make a detailed plan, taking into account all possible problems. For example, the commune can help you coordinate some of the support you need for developing new technologies, but for other resources, you'll still have to communicate with the steel mill."
Su Yu was also a little amused and helpless. She waved her hands and said, "The resources here at the commune are limited, so the commune doesn't need to pay for this. As for the construction of the factory, there will be special designers to take charge. In addition, there will be professional personnel to provide technical guidance and other things. These things will be handled step by step.
Our Sidaohe Commune can also set up a technical training class to allow members who are capable and willing to learn technology to attend the class, and we can also arrange for some teachers to come and provide guidance."
Su Yu's ideas were quite bold. After he finished speaking, Secretary Chen and the others looked at each other in surprise. They couldn't help but admire Su Yu in their hearts.
Secretary Chen calmed himself down and said, "Okay, since you are sure, then this is no problem."
"How about this? From now on, you'll be the liaison between our commune and the steel plant in the city. As for your salary, I'll offer you 60 yuan a month, based on your level 13 technician salary, which is slightly higher. How about that?"
Sidaohe Commune was actually very poor, but in order to keep Su Yu, Secretary Chen was willing to give half of his salary, as well as the salaries of other commune leaders, to Su Yu.
Su Yu naturally knew all this.
She shook her head. How could she not know that Secretary Chen and his men didn't actually have much money? "Secretary Chen, let's talk about the salary later. As for the position of commune liaison officer, I'll take it. Just give me a certificate later."
Secretary Chen and others looked at Su Yu and were immediately filled with admiration. These days, comrades like Su Yu with a spirit of selfless dedication are the most admirable.
Not only is he good at repairing tractors, but he also has an extraordinary ideological awareness.
