When Mai Laosan obtained the business license issued by the government, it was like having an imperial sword.

Mai Xiangbei was finally relieved, at least it meant that this was allowed by the government.

It was two months later when Mai Sui returned from the capital.

After all, it takes time to assemble and debug high-tech machine tools, not to mention that Mai Sui also has to "do private work".

Mai Sui directly asked the army’s trucks to help transport the assembly line equipment from the airport to Lianhua Village.

There are so many equipments in a complete assembly line that it took a total of seven trucks to load them all.

When the villagers of Lianhua Village saw so many military trucks entering the village, they all ran to watch the fun.

"Mai Lao San, why are you making such a big fuss? What are you planning to do?"

Mai Xiangbei directed the workers to move the equipment off the truck, while Mai Laosan was bragging to the villagers nearby.

"What else can I do? I am responding to the country's call to expand production!

Look at this machine, it's so new and shiny, do you know what it is for?"

"It just produces sewing machines, what else could it be?"

Mai Lao San clicked his tongue twice and said exaggeratedly, "I can tell from the looks of it that you have never seen the world. This is not a company that produces sewing machines, but a company that produces televisions!

From now on, our Lotus Factory will have its own television, called Lotus brand television!

If anyone in the village wants to buy a TV, don’t rush to the supply and marketing cooperative. Buy it from me and you can get a discount! "

So far, there is not a single television in Lotus Village.

Because unlike a sewing machine, a television is not a necessity but a consumer product.

A sewing machine can at least be used to make clothes, saving labor costs, but a TV is purely for entertainment.

It is not easy to save money in the countryside. Every penny must be spent wisely, so naturally you won’t buy a TV.

But because of this, if someone bought a TV, it would definitely be a big event that would shock the whole village, and people would feel proud when they told others about it.

So, someone immediately asked Mai Laosan how much he planned to sell one unit for.

Mai Laosan paused. He was just talking big and hadn't actually thought about the pricing issue yet.

Seeing this, Song Hewei immediately stepped forward to help: "You are all from the same village, so you are naturally different from outsiders, so you must have the best discount.

The machines and equipment have just arrived, and it will take some time before the official mass production begins, so please stay tuned.”

After that, Song Hewei turned to Mai Lao San and said, "Director, Mai Sui is over there. Please go over to discuss something."

Look, Song Hewei said this so beautifully, and even used "you" when addressing Mai Lao San, as if he were a big leader.

But Mai Lao San just falls for it.

No wonder Song Hewei is becoming more and more important. Her ability is one reason, and her sweet talk is another.

After all, who doesn’t like to hear compliments?

Mai Laosan's secretary, Chen Jiushan, was a native of the countryside and had never paid attention to this aspect before.

But he is a smart man and is very good at observing people's words and expressions.

When he saw Song Hewei like this, he immediately took it to heart and tried to do better than her next time!

................

Mai Laosan is very successful here. Some people are happy for him, while others are jealous of his success.

For example, there are people like him like Wang Ergou and Sun He in the village who are street urchins.

Originally, everyone was a parasite from their family. Why did Mai Laosan suddenly become rich while they could only continue to live a life of idleness and wait for death?

They are hated by their family members every day, and their parents always say:

"Look at Mai Lao San, he is already successful now, he was not as good as you in the beginning, look at you now!

How could I raise a loser like you! I should have just thrown you into a dung bucket and drowned you!"

He even wouldn't let me touch his wife at night, and would always pick a fight with her.

After experiencing so many things like this, Wang Ergou and others couldn't help feeling dissatisfied, thinking that it was all Mai Laosan's fault.

So, he wanted to cause some trouble for Mai Lao San.

Even though they wouldn't get any substantial benefits from doing so, they would be happy just to see Mai Lao San in trouble.

Mai Laosan's act of openly selling televisions to villagers gave them a hint of weakness, and they felt they had finally caught Mai Laosan.

So, they reported Mai Laosan, accusing him of abusing his power and selling public property for personal gain.

They were so smart that they didn't report to the commune but went directly to the county revolutionary committee.

Because Mai Xiangdong had a good relationship with the commune secretary, they were afraid of being exposed.

The county revolutionary committee is certainly aware of the above policies. In fact, they are currently in the process of reform.

Mai Laosan's actions were neither against regulations nor against laws, so the Revolutionary Committee naturally would not interfere and directly drove away Wang Ergou, Sun He and others.

Didn't even bother to explain.

But Wang Ergou praised Mai Laosan to the skies, saying that their family had plenty of meat and fish every day, that they threw away every egg they ate, and that the money in the family was carried in sacks.

Zhao Zhongshen, a temporary worker in the Revolutionary Committee, heard it and kept it in mind.

After Wang Ergou left, he immediately found an excuse, left work early, and chased after him.

"Comrade, please wait a minute. The problem you just reported is indeed a bit serious. Our captain specially sent me to understand the specific situation from you."

What Zhao Zhongshen thought was that the villagers in the village below must not know the policy from above.

Because their Revolutionary Committee had only recently received the document.

Therefore, he can take advantage of this information gap to make some money.

If the other party is really as rich as Wang Ergou said, then he can at least get a few hundred dollars.

For a temporary worker who only earns 28 yuan a month, a few hundred yuan is definitely a huge sum of money.

Moreover, Zhao Zhongshen has done this kind of thing many times before, so he has experience!

Wang Ergou didn’t think too much about it, he just wanted to see Mai Laosan get into trouble.

Therefore, he answered whatever Zhao Zhongshen asked, and it can be said that he told everything he knew!

As a member of the Revolutionary Committee, Zhao Zhongshen naturally knew how well the Lotus brand sewing machines sold on the black market and in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

When he heard that the other party was the director of the Lotus Factory, Zhao Zhongshen immediately realized that his opportunity to make a fortune had come.

This time, it might not be something that can be resolved with just a few hundred dollars. He had to make the other party bleed heavily!

At least not less than one thousand!

In order to avoid any further complications, Zhao Zhongshen immediately decided to go to Lianhua Village with Wang Ergou and others.

Although Wang Ergou couldn't stand Mai Laosan's arrogance, he still had to live in the village.

Therefore, he did not want others to know that he was the one who reported it, and he repeatedly asked Zhao Zhongshen to keep it confidential.

Zhao Zhongshen agreed verbally, but as soon as he came in front of Mai Laosan, he directly betrayed Wang Ergou and the others.

"You are Mai Xiangxi, right? I'm from the Revolutionary Committee. We received reports from the enthusiastic people Wang Ergou and Sun He, and now we are sealing up your factory!"
