Zhang Wen's name

Zhang Wen and his group entered the fireworks park and found it to be very lively.

"Comrade Defa, it seems that this fireworks base has been revitalized."

Wang Defa looked nervous after hearing this, knowing that Zhang Wen was trying to put him in a bad light.

"We have to thank Governor Zhang for this. Without your strong support, our industrial park would definitely still be the same as before."

"This is still your own problem. I heard that the person who designed the fireworks this time was the former chief engineer of Liuyang, right?"

"I'm not entirely clear on this issue either; Secretary Li has been handling this matter."

Zhang Wen nodded after hearing this.

"Comrade Da Niu, can you tell me how you came up with the idea of ​​building a fireworks base back then?"

Li Dani broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this; it was a very difficult question to answer.

"Governor Zhang, it's like this. We noticed that Handong didn't have a dedicated fireworks industrial park before. After some discussion, we decided to build a large one."

"I don't know what happened, but not many people bought them, and eventually those factories moved away. I reflect on this problem; it's all due to my poor leadership that caused the government investment to fail."

Looking at this elderly comrade who was almost 60 years old, Zhang Wen did not blame him.

"Comrade Da Niu, I'll give you a major demerit for this. Although this is not the result you wanted, you have to admit your mistakes and accept the punishment."

"Remember, next time you invest, start with a small-scale pilot project. Don't blindly embark on such a large project. Government money doesn't grow on trees. Also, all of you who supported this project this time, get a minor demerit."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; the matter was finally over.

"Comrade Da Niu, why are there still so many empty factory buildings? Is it because no one is moving in, or is there some other reason?"

"Governor Zhang, it's like this, our industrial park is basically rented out now, but they haven't brought the equipment over yet."

Zhang Wen nodded after hearing this.

"You must treat all investing companies fairly and without discrimination. Also, you must pay close attention to production safety."

"Okay, Governor Zhang, we now arrange for staff to inspect the workshop every day. This is to prevent such incidents from happening again."

"Very good, we must do a good job in prevention to ensure the safety of people's lives and property."

10 minute later.

Zhang Wen and his colleagues arrived at Dingfeng Fireworks Co., Ltd.

Zhang Wen felt that this company was different from other companies.

"Comrade Da Niu, this company seems different from others. Their workshops are much more standardized than others. Also, their goods and raw materials are kept at a great distance. This work style is very similar to that of state-owned farms."

"Governor Zhang, the boss of this company is the chief designer of our fireworks display. He used to be the chief engineer of a state-owned factory."

Zhang Wen was very interested after hearing this. He had initially thought it was just a designer, but it turned out to be the boss of a company. It seemed he should get to know him better.

"Comrade Da Niu, where is he now?"

"Governor Zhang, he went out of town the day before yesterday. He said he'll be back soon."

"Let's go inside and take a look. I want to see what their employees' working environment is like."

As soon as Zhang Wen entered the workshop, he saw a group of employees working very diligently.

The employees were a little nervous when they saw a group of managers come in.

This was Zhang Wen's first time visiting a fireworks manufacturing workshop, and he was quite curious. He never imagined that fireworks were made this way.

Suddenly he saw many disabled people in the workshop, and he was very shocked.

"Comrade Da Niu, why does this factory employ so many disabled workers?"

"It's like this, there used to be a mine here, and many people worked there when they were young. The working hours are still the same, and many people have slight disabilities in their hands and feet."

Zhang Wen sighed. In the past, without machines, many things relied on manual labor, so over time he naturally developed some disabilities.

"How are their wages? They can't be much less, can they?"

"Don't worry about that. Li Xiaodong is a very good person. I looked at their payslips, and their salaries are about 30 less than those of regular employees."

"Why are their wages so low? I see this is all manual labor. The wages are far too low. You should talk to their boss; we can give them a tax reduction, but the employees' wages cannot be reduced."

"Okay, Governor Zhang, I'll inform him in a bit."

Just as Zhang Wen and others were inspecting the workshop, Li Xiaodong rushed back.

When Li Daniu saw Li Xiaodong return, he immediately introduced him to Zhang Wen.

"Governor Zhang, this is Li Xiaodong, he is the boss of this company."

"Governor Zhang, my name is Li Xiaodong. Welcome to visit my company."

Zhang Wen was quite surprised to see that Li Xiaodong was so young.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to be so young."

"Governor Zhang, I'm 41 this year, not exactly young, but I do look young."

This time it was Zhang Wen's turn to be surprised; Li Xiaodong looked to be at most around 30 years old.

"Li Xiaodong, I heard you were the designer of this fireworks display. Your design was excellent and made our Handong a great place to shine. I'm definitely going to give you a big gift."

"Shanghai will be ordering around 3000 million worth of fireworks for the Spring Festival, and I'll entrust the production to you."

Li Xiaodong was overjoyed upon hearing this; Governor Zhang was indeed the God of Wealth of Handong!

"Thank you for your trust, Governor Zhang."

"Don't thank me too soon. I also have my requests. I've seen so many disabled employees, and I've heard that their wages are only about 60% of those of normal employees. I'd like to ask that if you restore their wages to normal, we can offer you a certain amount of tax exemption support."

Li Xiaodong immediately agreed after hearing this. He said that he hadn't been able to do it before, but now that he was, it wouldn't hurt to get a raise.

"Okay, Governor Zhang. I'll announce it shortly."

"It's almost lunchtime, so we'll just grab a bite at your cafeteria today."

Li Xiaodong was a little nervous after hearing this. The food in their cafeteria was only so-so, consisting of three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a soup. He himself also ate in the cafeteria.

Perhaps noticing Li Xiaodong's slight nervousness, Zhang Wen offered words of comfort.

"Boss Li, don't worry, we'll eat whatever the employees eat. I just came to see what level your employee meals are at."

Li Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that although the food was so-so, the dishes were quite tasty, and the meat was from the market early in the morning.

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

Staff canteen.

Zhang Wen and the others entered the canteen. Zhang Wen was very satisfied to see that the canteen was clean and tidy. Regardless of how the food tasted, the environment was still quite good.

After checking out the cafeteria, Zhang Wen and the others went to the food serving window. The food today was pretty good; the meat dishes included braised pork, braised chicken pieces, and braised fish pieces, while the vegetable dish was just stir-fried bok choy.

"Boss Li, your food is pretty good. Do you have these dishes all the time?"

"Governor Zhang, our company has a standard menu, which is basically three meat dishes and one vegetable dish. In any case, these three meat dishes are rotated almost every day."

"That's right, only when workers are well-fed can they have more energy at work."

"Governor Zhang, you're absolutely right. That's what I think too. We can't really save much money on food, and besides, I eat here every day myself."

"Boss Li, I have high hopes for you. As long as you stay true to your original aspirations, the Handong government will definitely support conscientious enterprises like yours."

Li Xiaodong was overjoyed upon hearing this, never expecting that Governor Zhang thought so highly of him.

"Governor Zhang, I am also a Party member. I will definitely stay true to my original aspiration and work hard."

"Everyone must be hungry. Let's try the staff meals here and see how they taste."

Two hours later.

Zhang Wen led the group to inspect several other factories. Seeing no major problems, he gave a few words of advice and prepared to return. Overall, the inspection was quite fruitful.
