Jiang Wanyue was arranged to stand next to Secretary Liu.
No one thought that her identity was inappropriate, everyone applauded enthusiastically with smiles on their faces.
As the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended, the scene was filled with the sound of enthusiastic firecrackers.
In addition to the people from the Red Flag Commune, the secretaries of other communes were also present. Each of those secretaries had a unhappy look on their faces and felt jealous.
Secretary Liu smiled and said, "Hongqi Commune has developed rapidly in the past two years and is ahead of us. They have crossed the river by feeling the stones and have found a successful plan. The secretaries of other communes should take Hongqi Commune as an example and learn from them. As long as you have a plan to provide electricity, I will definitely put aside my old face and go to the city to help you apply for 70,000 or 80,000 yuan in project funds!"
The secretaries: "..."
It is said that the electricity supply to Xiaojing Brigade cost more than 500,000 yuan. Even if the county and the city are willing to pay part of it, he would still have to pay more than 400,000 yuan!
They have lived to this age and have never seen how much 10,000 yuan is, let alone more than 400,000 yuan. It is simply an astronomical figure!
Looking back to two years ago, Hongqi Commune was always ranked last in all aspects every year. In the blink of an eye, it left them far behind, and they had no idea how to catch up.
They were envious, jealous and hateful, but there was nothing they could do but watch.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the commune canteen arranged lunch for all the leading cadres, and Jiang Wanyue also had a meal here.
During the meal, Secretary Liu said earnestly, "Director Jiang, you are a capable person. In just over a year, you have developed the Red Flag Commune of Xiaojing Brigade to this level. Let's be bold and say that your Xiaojing Brigade should be ranked among the top ten villages in the country. Others have developed well because of government investment and support, but your Xiaojing Brigade has completely blazed a trail on its own. I say so much because I want you to help other communes in our county so that we can develop and progress together."
As soon as these words were spoken, the cadres from other communes sitting nearby pricked up their ears.
A few shameless people, such as Secretary Huang of Qinglong Commune, came over and said with a smile: "Director Jiang, do you still remember me? I am Old Huang."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and nodded: "Qinglong Commune is very famous in our Lianhu County, of course I remember it."
When she went to the county to receive an award on Women's Day last year, Secretary Huang looked down on her. How could she forget that? However, she was not the kind of person who held grudges and would not embarrass others over such a small matter.
Secretary Huang came over very familiarly and said, "According to Director Jiang's opinion, what kind of factory can we open in Qinglong Commune?"
Jiang Wanyue thought for a moment and said, "As I recall, the largest factory in Qinglong Commune was the iron nail factory."
Secretary Huang nodded.
The nail factory had been established for more than ten years and had made a lot of money for the commune. In the past, no matter where he went to attend a meeting, he would always brag about how great their nail factory was in his words and deeds.
But since seeing the development momentum of the two factories in Xiaojing Brigade, he no longer dared to say anything.
I have been developing my business for more than ten years, but my monthly profit is only a few thousand yuan, while others have only been established for more than a year and can already pay for electricity. I can't compare.
"Innovation and technology are actually the most critical factors," Jiang Wanyue said truthfully. "Nail production does not require much technical expertise. As long as the funds are in place, every commune can open a nail factory. That's why your efficiency has not improved. However, nail production is needed by all walks of life, so the factory will not starve."
Secretary Huang agreed: "Because our factory was established earlier, the benefits are slightly better, but that's all."
"Let me tell Secretary Huang a story," Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "More than a year ago, Xiaojing Brigade had not yet opened a factory. At that time, our diesel engine broke down, and it cost 300 yuan to repair it in the provincial government. The whole village tried every way to raise the money, but couldn't. In the end, we had to sell fish to raise the money..."
Secretary Huang had certainly heard of this matter, but he didn't know the specific details.
"...In short, we struggled for a long time and consulted many people, and finally we found out that the diesel engine was not broken, but a screw was missing." Jiang Wanyue continued, "It was just a screw, and we couldn't buy it. In the end, we used our connections to remove a few from the scrap machines in the machinery factory... Screws, like nails, are inconspicuous, but they play a vital role. Nails can be found everywhere, and there are no specific requirements for size and model. Screws are different. They have relatively high technical content and come in various styles, models and sizes... Some products on the market that require high firmness are fixed with screws. It can be said that the market potential for screws is greater, and the unit price will be higher."
Secretary Huang said in disbelief: "Director Jiang, how long did it take you to come up with this idea?"
Jiang Wanyue said embarrassedly: "I just thought about it casually just now."
Secretary Huang: “…”
No wonder he is successful, look at his brain, it works so fast.
He humbly asked, "But there is no one in our factory who can make screws."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Secretary Huang can go to the provincial screw factory for help. Our country is a large collective. I believe the technicians at the screw factory will provide all-round guidance."
Just like in the beginning, when she went to the provincial fishery to seek technical help, the staff there directly gave her the technical manual on fish farming and let her copy whatever she wanted.
The superiority of the national system was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Director Huang was very excited: "Thank you so much Director Jiang for your advice..."
Before he could finish his words, he was pushed aside by the secretary of Jinqiu Commune.
The secretary looked at Jiang Wanyue with a smile and said, "Director Jiang, my niece married into your Xiaojing Brigade. So, we are a family. In the past, your Hongqi Commune was the last, and our Jinqiu Commune was the second to last. Now, we are firmly in the last place. I would like to ask Director Jiang for some advice."
Jiang Wanyue was quite unfamiliar with the Jinqiu Commune, so she asked, "Speaking of your commune, what do you think best represents the Jinqiu Commune, Secretary Zhou?"
Secretary Zhou scratched his head and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
It was the county party secretary, Secretary Liu, who could no longer bear it and said, "Speaking of Jinqiu Commune, the thing that impressed me the most was probably your noodle factory."
Secretary Zhou was embarrassed: "There are only seven or eight people in the noodle factory, and they only make three or four hundred yuan a month, which is really not worth mentioning."
"The noodles from your commune taste very good," said Secretary Liu. "They taste better than the noodles produced by the provincial capital's food factory. That's the truth."
Secretary Zhou was delighted when he was praised: "Of course, our commune has a good geographical location, on the sunny side of the mountain, the wheat grows well, the noodles are chewier, and the taste is naturally better."
