I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 569 Oh, a promotion!

5:30 PM is the time when government offices close for the day.

The sky was overcast, and large snowflakes fell one after another, covering the solemn red brick building of the provincial government compound with a snow-white coat.

No one noticed the several streaks of colorful light flashing through the clouds.

A red Xiali car discreetly drove into the compound and parked in the parking lot.

Lin Xiaohe found her way to the provincial secretariat office with ease.

Old Gao warmly opened the door to greet us: "Old Tian is worried about you. He calls me every half hour, as if this place is some kind of dragon's den or tiger's lair."

Lin Xiaohe followed him into the office, her eyes glancing at the meeting attendees on the table.

Oh ho, the entire provincial leadership team is up there.

Lin Xiaohe pointed to the document and asked directly, "Uncle Gao, is it inappropriate for me to attend this meeting?"

Old Gao raised an eyebrow. Calling someone "uncle" on their first meeting? This Factory Director Lin is quite adept at climbing the social ladder.

He glanced at the doorway and lowered his voice: "This time we're serious. We need to make good use of people who can fight tough battles."

When Lin Xiaohe asked again, Lao Gao started dodging the question, constantly pouring tea for Lin Xiaohe.

After Lin Xiaohe finished drinking three cups of tea, the phone on the table finally rang.

Old Gao breathed a sigh of relief: "Go ahead, both leaders are in their offices."

Lin Xiaohe stood up and followed Lao Gao eastward until they reached the end of the road, where the top leader's office was located.

Along the way, Lin Xiaohe was not nervous at all. Instead, she had time to think about why the top leader's office was at the end of the corridor.

Besides the need for quiet and security, there may be another consideration. In the traditional architectural culture of the East, the main hall or main room is often located at the end of the central axis, which is the most prestigious position.

Sure enough, the air here is filled with the scent of order and power.

The first impression upon entering is its size.

This office is at least five times the size of County Magistrate Tian's office.

The first thing you see is an open space covered with carpet, with floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelves on both sides.

Further inside is the reception area, where two leaders are sitting on a black leather sofa, both looking over at each other.

"sit."

"Hello, leaders."

Before setting off, County Chief Tian gave Lin Xiaohe a lot of tips on how to handle meetings with leaders.

For example, if your boss asks you to sit down, never plop down completely, and definitely don't lean back in the chair. The correct posture is to sit with half of your buttocks on the edge of the sofa, back straight, and eyes focused and attentive.

Lin Xiaohe remembered these small workplace details in her mind, but not in her body, and still found the most comfortable position to sit down.

Such a relaxed demeanor surprised both leaders slightly.

Fortunately, the tone of the conversation wasn't serious to begin with; the deputy senior official spoke in a friendly manner, as if chatting casually: "How are the sales of LCD TVs? Is Panasonic still giving you trouble?"

Lin Xiaohe: "When you reach the summit, you'll see all the mountains below. Changhong is now the undisputed number one in the Eastern color TV market. We're already being lenient by not causing trouble for Panasonic; how dare they cause us trouble?"

"That's impressive. You've pulled off a remarkable comeback. What are Changhong's plans next?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaohe became serious: "LCD flat panels have a wide range of applications, including color TVs, mobile phones, computers, and many other things."

The senior leader raised an eyebrow: "I remember you once mentioned a PHS (Personal Handyphone System) project? What? You don't want to make PHS, but want to make mobile phones?" The essence of PHS is landline, while mobile phones are mobile communications, which are completely opposite technological paths.

Lin Xiaohe smiled and said, "Mobile phones aren't so easy to develop. As you know, our Changhong factory either doesn't do it at all, or if we do it, we do it to the best of our ability! Last year, Motorola launched the 'big brick' phone, which used a monochrome LCD screen and was priced at 12,000 yuan. With the network access fee, the final price was about 20,000 yuan."

That small screen can display a few words. Compared to the old mobile phones, the biggest change is that it lets the person answering the phone know who is calling.

With such limited technology, Motorola still dares to claim to be number one in the world.

To avoid further questioning from the leaders, Lin Xiaohe quickly added, "Our research institute has established a dedicated mobile phone R&D department and a PHS (Personal Handyphone System) R&D team. Before the mobile phones are released, we'll make a good profit using PHS for two or three years."

So don't ask, the answer is that it's already under development.

Actually, Lin Xiaohe has a lot of technical skills, but the problem is that the network can't keep up!

The major players in the telecommunications sector are still engaged in a fierce battle. With the current level of mobile network and Ethernet deployment, the significant advantage of Changhong's LCD screens compared to Motorola's is simply not apparent.

The two leaders listened, completely stunned.

"Can your Changhong factory handle the workload?"

Foldable sauna tubs, Rock 1.0, Rock 2.0—the production line must be smoking from exhaustion!
Lin Xiaohe shrugged: "We're too busy. We're planning to build a few more factories, aren't we?"

"Ahem, ahem." The leader implied, "Rebuilding a factory is such a hassle. You have to choose a site, get approvals, and build the factory. It's a huge waste of time. I think your idea of ​​large factories helping small factories is a good one. Some small parts that don't involve patented technology can be outsourced to other factories."

Lin Xiaohe nodded: "We already put out the tender for this part of the parts a long time ago."

I understand, that's why many factories in Anning County have taken off.

Last year, Anning County's GDP was quite impressive.

The top leader said, "If we can't hand over the core technologies, we can simply merge more factories. We strongly support this."

Lin Xiaohe suddenly realized that this was the reason why the leaders had asked her to join the group!

This is not a difficult matter.

Changhong Factory is like an old farmer with a large wheat field to harvest. One person can't finish the job, so they definitely need to increase manpower: "At most, four factories. Any more than that, and it will drag down Changhong Factory."

The two leaders' eyes lit up instantly. They had originally only intended to give him two factories: "Lin Xiaohe is indeed a good comrade. He is responsible, has a sense of duty, and has a promising future."

Lin Xiaohe...

It was a mistake; the price was set too high.

Lin Xiaohe quickly added, "We have to choose the factory ourselves."

The leaders were very easy to talk to: "Of course, you're the best at running a business and doing marketing, so of course we'll listen to you."

For a moment, the two leaders smiled warmly, appearing kind and approachable.

In return, after patiently listening to Lin Xiaohe's plan for the PHS phone service, the senior leader expressed his willingness to communicate with the telecommunications company: "It's probably impossible to reach an agreement nationwide, but it should be fine within our province. Or, we could choose a city to conduct a pilot program first."

Lin Xiaohe was extremely grateful.

Once the telecom companies see how profitable the pilot program is, they won't need to worry about expanding it nationwide; the telecom companies will handle it all themselves.

Feeling that she had completed her mission of meeting him, Lin Xiaohe, being very perceptive, said goodbye.

Just as I was about to open the office door, a calm voice from the senior leader suddenly came from behind me: "The organization plans to transfer you to the provincial capital to serve as district head. The Organization Department will be talking to you soon, so be prepared."

Um? ! !
Lin Xiaohe turned around abruptly, looking at the two leaders in disbelief.

Seriously? Such important news, and you're only announcing it now?!
The two leaders' gazes wandered, not their fault, but Lin Xiaohe's fault for being so talkative that they almost forgot the main purpose of the conversation.
