Chapter 188

Burn yourself

In the afternoon, the mining area government.

Leaders and members of the inspection team arrived one after another, and by three o'clock, everyone was present.

Deng Dongya said, "This time we came here to focus on two places, one is Hongyan and the other is the Wumai mining area. Because Wumai is far away, we came to Wumai first. To be honest, before coming here, the Wumai in the letters of the two female classmates and what I saw in reality were quite different.

In short, in my opinion, Umay has not yet reached the stage where it can truly become an economic carrier, so, unfortunately, we may have to continue to Hongyan. Unless, Chen Lina, you have something to convince me, now, start your statement. "

"Do you think our transportation is not developed enough?" Chen Lina, who was sitting opposite him, asked back.

Deng Dongya shook his head, "It's not because of the traffic problem."

There are two express train lines and countless highways. Umayyad has very developed transportation because of the oil.

"In your frontier, a worker gets 20 yuan a month in frontier subsidies, but in Hongyan, a female worker only gets 35 yuan a month.

In terms of labor, our Hongyan factory will greatly reduce production costs, and reducing costs means generating profits." Ma Xiaofang said.

Deng Dongya also said, "Labor costs are indeed a very important aspect that we consider."

Chen Lina laughed and said, "A pound of meat costs one yuan. A female worker in Hongyan can only afford 35 pounds of meat with a monthly salary. How can you talk about supporting a family and raising children?

As the saying goes, when you are poor, you will think of change. Now we are setting up enterprises because everyone has been too poor, so we want to find ways to make everyone rich. If you learn from the old society and hire a group of long-term workers for free, wouldn’t the profit be higher? But let me ask you, the landlords in the old society made so much money, why didn’t they survive to this day? Why did they all become stupid? "

Then, she added, "The monthly wages of workers in our woolen textile factory in the mining area are 20 yuan higher than those in Hongyan. Female textile workers can get 55 yuan a month, but have you seen us go bankrupt? No. Your Ermao factory is asking the government for subsidies and funds, but we made more than 100,000 yuan last year. You can't deny this, right? Who said that if the labor cost is high, the factory will not make money? Let me ask you, "

District Chief Hu and Secretary A had been worried about the salary issue for a long time. Now when they looked at each other, they realized that what Chen Lina said was absolutely right. Although they didn't know the reason, they still refuted it unreasonably.

"The radiation area of ​​your mining area is not wide enough, which is also a big problem. It is not like Hongyan which can radiate almost all the surrounding provinces. Also, Hongyan has a very large military district. The clothing supplied to the military district alone is enough to support a clothing factory." Deng Dongya then said.

Chen Lina laughed again, "Who said that we only produce clothes to supply military regions and enterprises and institutions?"

"What can never be dispelled is women's love of beauty. It is the same whether in the city or in the countryside. The uniforms in the military area are only one aspect. Why don't you take a look at the many cities and rural areas, and the many women and children in the inland areas?

They all want to wear clothes, and what they want is beautiful clothes that are fashionable and generous. Otherwise, why is a meter of Quequeliang more expensive than meat, and why do people fight to the point of bleeding in order to grab Quequeliang? Because what they want is beauty and prettiness, and what we can create is prettiness. "

After a pause, she said, "Anna, laborer, please operate it."

Anna closed all the windows and drew up the curtains.

There was a projector in the corner, operated by a worker. The sound was audible, and everyone's eyes were focused on the screen hanging on the wall.

Projections appeared on the screen, one after another, all black and white photos.

The photo shows two women and a group of children, all of whom are standing in a very empty place.

These are all black and white photos, shot on film and then presented in a cinematic way.

Chen Lina stood up, walked to the front of the screen, pointed at the magnified image of herself on the screen and said, "Look at this shirt. If it were a color photo, you would find that it has a white background and red flowers. Does it look like the one that Harumiao wore in Spring Sprouts?"

"Spring Seedlings" is a very good movie that has been showing in theaters recently. In the movie, Tian Chunmiao wears a floral shirt and blue pants, exactly like what Chen Lina is wearing in the photo.

But obviously, the one Chen Lina is wearing is narrower and tighter, making her look more energetic.

Turning over another piece of clothing, it was still a shirt and narrow pants, but the color had changed, and there were slight floral decorations at the waist of the shirt, while the pants were also cut shorter, making her look capable and neat.

This set looks even more beautiful than the previous one.

Women all love beauty, and movies are the trend of their love of beauty. All of Chen Lina’s clothes are tailored according to the heroines in the movies.

Deng Dongya nodded after seeing it. "Not bad, Lina. It seems that your mining area has more than just fabrics. Do designers have them too?"

Chen Lina laughed again. "For half a year, our Secretary Deng was so focused on his studies that he didn't even know what Hu Suxue was studying. Today, I'm officially telling you that she is a top student in the Art Design Department of Beijing University of Technology. These clothes were all designed by her."

The leaders present looked at each other and all shook their heads and laughed.

Chen Lina asked the worker to stop the screening, and the picture froze on a few children.

Erdan was wearing a pair of pants made of denim, also known as jeans. This type of denim is a bit expensive.

But the cut-out trousers look very fashionable to the children, just like the American kids in the movies.

The younger sister was wearing a little skirt, while Sandan was wearing a plaid shirt, white sneakers, and black pants.

There were also several older children, some with their hands in their pockets or just standing there. Among them was a handsome boy who could truly be described as handsome with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. With his hands in his pockets, he raised his head high, lowered his eyebrows and looked forward. His two deep eyes were particularly bright.

Deng Dongya turned around to look at the worker in the corner who looked exactly like him, and realized that this should also be his eldest son.

As expected, Chen Lina said, "We can't find models from other places right now, so we'll just have the whole family take the photos together and let the children take the photos. My children and Hu Su's children are ugly, so you can just look at them together."

"Xiao Chen, I have a question now." At this time, Secretary Ah spoke.

Clearing his throat, he said, "Why don't they design clothes for us men? Does that mean we are not worthy of wearing clothes from Shanghai Garment Factory?"

"Secretary, it is said that in difficult conditions, men's clothing can be ignored, because men have the lowest status in the family. Do you think we need to produce clothes for people with the lowest status?"

Chen Lina was just joking, but Secretary Ah thought about it and nodded seriously, "You're right. I haven't bought new clothes in four years. The last time I bought underwear was four years ago."

"He hasn't changed his underwear for four years. What has Secretary Ah's underwear become now?" Hu Su asked Chen Lina quietly.

Chen Lina was about to die of laughter. "It's probably just a rag, it's probably just hanging on the butt, nothing more."

The two of them were looking at Secretary Ah and laughing, but Secretary Ah had no idea what they were laughing at.

The officers present were basically all men. They looked at each other, as if there was nothing to be ashamed of. They looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Leader, are we going to Hongyan next?" Ma Xiaofang asked as she saw that Deng Dongya seemed to be convinced by Chen Lina.

Deng Dongya originally planned to hold a meeting today, go through the motions, and then head directly to Hongyan.

But Chen Lina's new proposition convinced her almost instantly.

"I would like to ask you one more thing, Comrade Chen Lina, is your plan for your mining area limited to this clothing factory?" Deng Dongya asked again.

When we talk about the industry of a region, it is a whole. It cannot develop with just one clothing factory.

Chen Lina said, "Of course not. We have unique mineral resources. With heavy industry as a carrier, we can produce plastics, cultural office supplies, and it interacts with the clothing industry and home textile industry. In the future, Umay will be the largest production and commercial area in the entire north. Therefore, we are only missing a clothing factory to boost the local economy of Umay."

People like Deng Dongya can be truly persuaded, and when it comes to making decisions, they are of course extremely decisive.

He turned around and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao Ma, your plan is very beautifully written, but obviously, Secretary Chen's speech is more forward-looking. I also think that the branch factory opened by our Shanghai Garment Factory should not only produce uniforms, but should bring the beauty of clothing to various cities."

"So, I won't go to Hongyan. We will locate the northern branch of Shanghai Garment Factory in Wumayi Mining Area." Deng Dongya slammed the table, making the final decision.

It can be said that Chen Lina's speech not only convinced Deng Dongya, but more importantly, she convinced Secretary A and District Chief Hu, who had always been not very confident in the development of the mining area.

As if after being praised by others, they discovered that they still have some shining points, these two took the lead and started to applaud first.

Immediately afterwards, everyone present stood up one after another, especially those from the Shanghai delegation, who were truly convinced by Chen Lina's speech.

Chen Lina stood in front of the big screen with a proud look on her face.

Ma Xiaofang and the Hongyan Ermao Farm she represented were left out in the cold.

Everyone walked over and shook hands with Chen Lina and Hu Su.

They, however, had to go back home.

"Leader, let's have dinner together tonight. We don't have to go to the hotel. I heard that your stomach is not very good. How about I cook for you myself tonight and make you a bowl of noodles?" Hu Xuanang promoted his fried noodles to Deng Dongya at the right time.

Deng Dongya said, "We have finished discussing official business. I have some personal matters to attend to. Let's wait for next time for District Chief Hu's fried noodles. I know fried noodles are not tasty without chili peppers, but I cannot eat spicy food because of my stomach problems. I will treat you to a meal when we return to Shanghai."

After leaving the district government, Deng Dongya asked Chen Lina, "Is it inconvenient for you to visit your home? For example, would your laborers think that I have ulterior motives?"

"We are an old couple with four children at home. We are no longer as fickle as you, Deng Dongya, and we won't be suspicious of each other." Chen Lina said with a smile.

"It's really great for a couple to be able to reach this level." Deng Dongya said with emotion.

Mutual trust and support are indescribably good.

Chen Lina is still busy driving to pick up the children.

Didn’t the laborer give Chen Lina’s instructions and hurry to sell the vegetables?

Chen Lina arrived at the middle school gate first and saw Erdan memorizing words from a distance.

Well, he has been studying for eight years, and he has only studied hard for a few days recently. He greeted his uncle when he got on the bus, and then buried his head in memorizing words. But in the eyes of Deng Dongya, it was really shocking. "Your son actually takes the initiative to study?"

"Isn't studying a child's responsibility?" Chen Lina was also surprised.

At the entrance of the elementary school, Sandan had just come out, twisting a four-layer Rubik's Cube in his hands.

This was sent to him by Edward, and it is much more difficult to complete than the second level.

Whenever Sandan has time, he will play with the Rubik's Cube.

When Deng Dongya looked at this again, he felt a different kind of emotion.

That’s it, and there’s no good little sister yet.

"Lina, in fact, in addition to the clothing factory business, I have another very big business opportunity. This business opportunity can at least make Wumayi rich ten years earlier than other places. I can give it to you, but I think you can agree to a very selfish request of mine." Deng Dongya said.

Chen Lina asked, "What request?"

"It won't take too long for you to take care of my child, just two years at most."

…

"A child who is extremely difficult to discipline." Deng Dongya said again.

…

But Ma Xiaofang, who was still unwilling to give up, ran to the armed forces again.

It’s right in front of the big yard of Grandpa Bai’s house.

She was lobbying Leng Qi. "You are good at making trouble, aren't you? I have people with me, so I don't need you to show up. You just need to fight for one eye and turn a blind eye. All it takes is one terrorist incident to make the Shanghai delegation reconsider. If you help me win, I will guarantee you a promotion, okay?"

Leng Qi looked at Ma Xiaofang without saying a word.

"If you don't agree, I will let you stay in the mining area forever and die here." Ma Xiaofang was desperate.

"Okay, sure, no problem, I'll help you. Where are you staying tonight, going back to Hongyan, or staying in the guesthouse for another night?" Leng Qi still had his usual playful smile on his face.

Ma Xiaofang said, "I'm in the guesthouse, waiting for your news."

"Then take your time, and remember to go to bed early at night, don't sleep too late." Leng Qi had just finished speaking when he turned around and saw Anna, who had just got off work, standing behind him.

"Get lost," she said.

Leng Qi said bluntly, "Anna, when did you come back? Why didn't you say hello before you came back?"

"Because if I had said hello, I wouldn't have discovered that you and that stinky woman were still in cahoots. Leng Qi, you are a dog, and you will never change your nature of eating shit."

Anna said this and walked away.

Leng Qi was playing with fire this time and ended up getting burned.

But he didn't have time to coax Anna at the moment, so he called Staff Officer Feng from the Armed Forces Department and gave him some instructions, asking him to keep an eye on the people from the Hongyan Expedition.

Didn't he promise Ma Xiaofang to let them go? Well, Staff Officer Feng will bring people from the armed forces to keep an eye on them tonight. As long as those members of Ma Xiaofang's inspection team dare to carry out terrorist activities, they will be thrown into prison along with Ma Xiaofang.

But how come Anna heard such a good thing?

Leng Qi is simply like that, he can't wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

When she got home, Anna was lying on the bed and her sister was sitting on the bed playing with a doll.

Leng Qi didn't dare to get on the bed, so he sat on the edge of the bed.

"Dad." My sister said it so sweetly.

"Um?"

"I'm sorry," she said.

Leng Qi lay next to Anna, and his sister lay between them.

My sister was lying in the middle, looking at her father with red eyes, and then seeing that her mother didn't turn around, she was anxious.

So he got up, turned over to Anna's side, and started to twist her. "Turn around, Mom, turn around."

"No, Mommy hates that guy."

"It's not annoying, we all love dad." Now Nie Weixing has a lot of words in his mouth.

“No.”

"Love, love." Weixing couldn't lift Anna over, so he held her head tightly, trying to turn her over.

Anna saw how cute her sister was, and thought about her own son who was already more than six months old. She was so angry that she met such a confused man who was thinking about doing bad things all day long. She was crying when Leng Qi suddenly turned over and kissed her.

Well, one kissed here and the other kissed there, and both Wei Xing and Leng Qi said sorry.

"I can't tell you that I've changed. I admit that I used to do a lot of evil things, but please trust me for once tonight. If anyone from the Hongyan expedition dares to move, I will definitely arrest them all, including Ma Xiaofang. Anna, satellite mother, please trust me for once, okay?"
