Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"No, Lao Cao, don't talk nonsense!"

Director Cao rolled her eyes, giving him a "you're kidding me" look. "Director Hao, stop pretending. Do you think I don't know?"

"What do you know?"

"Guess what I know?"

"Guess what I know?"

"I guess you know what I know?"

"I bet you didn't know!"

Director Qi and Chen Zaiguang, who were walking ahead, were amused by the conversation between the two. Director Qi laughed and said, "Alright, you two, stop guessing and talking. Are you coming or not? If you're not coming, Comrade Zaiguang and I are leaving!"

"Director Hao, at least give me five!"

"No!"

"Three!"

"No!"

"two!"

"We'll see!"

"Don't let it happen then!"

"..."

Chen Zaiguang led the three bureau chiefs on a tour of the industrial park. They first looked at the dormitory building, then the canteen, and then they went to look at the factory buildings. The various rooms and warehouses inside were equipped with water and electricity. They were just waiting for the production line to arrive, for the installation workers to debug it, and for the power plant in Linhe to transmit the electricity over, so that production could officially begin.

Two months have passed since Chen Dong applied for the company license and decided to start the business. Chen Dong has also been in America for nearly a month and a half. After Chen Dong left, the power plant project in Linhe was under construction day and night.

All steel bars, cement, sand, and gravel were prioritized for supply to the Linhe Power Plant project. Not only did engineers from the municipal power bureau arrive, but engineers from the province also took a train overnight to come over. Ostensibly, they came to learn from advanced foreign thermal power generation projects, but in reality, they also helped the Linhe Power Plant project solve many problems.

Five days before the power generation equipment docked, Chen Dong contacted Tuocheng via telegram and other means. After the equipment docked, not only did people from the Tuocheng Municipal Party Committee come, but even the Vice Governor of the province personally greeted them at the Tuo Port, which shows the importance the Provincial Party Committee attached to the Linhe Power Plant project.

Vice Governor Zhao highly praised Guangdong Company's selfless donation at Tuogang Wharf, commending it for setting a good example for local development. He also personally praised the members of the Nanshan County Party Committee and affirmed the work of the Nanshan County Party Committee led by Secretary Lin Deying.

Led by four Ford Vios police cars from Nanshan County and two Vios police cars from Tuocheng City Bureau, five imported tractor-trailers urgently dispatched from Huadu Port, carrying power generation equipment, drove through the urban area of ​​Tuocheng City, with police lights and sirens blaring all the way.

Over the past few months, residents of Tuocheng have seen the impressive presence of the VicRoyal police cars on the streets. When they saw a total of six of them, they were curious as to why there were so many VicRoyal police cars.

It was only after someone from Nanshan County cleared things up for them that they realized that even the two vehicles belonging to the Municipal Public Security Bureau had been seized from the Nanshan County Public Security Bureau.

Nanshan County is getting richer and richer; it's already rivaling supermarket districts!

The main reason is that these Ford Vision police cars are too impressive. Their large bodies and Chinese police livery give them a sense of authority.

Vice Governor Zhao rode in Chen Zaiguang's car and followed the convoy to Nanshan County. After the equipment was safely delivered to Linhe Power Plant, Vice Governor Zhao, accompanied by Chen Zaiguang and introduced by Lin Deying, the secretary of the Nanshan County Party Committee, visited Nanshan County People's Hospital.

Because of the equipment donated by Chen Dong, not only doctors from Tuocheng Central Hospital came to "learn," but even the Provincial People's Hospital sent several medical staff to come for a short exchange and learning session.

In those days, China was truly lacking in all kinds of good equipment, whether for industry or medicine!

Even the Shanghai state-owned medical factory called, hoping that Nanshan County People's Hospital would be generous enough to donate some equipment to them for scientific research, but Guo Kun, the president of Nanshan County People's Hospital, politely declined.

The reason given was that the equipment was in short supply and had already been put into clinical use, so it was inconvenient to borrow it to avoid delaying the treatment of other patients.

Jiping Commune, especially Lianzhai Village, has now become the pride of the Tuocheng Municipal Party Committee. It is not only changing every day, but also successfully solving its own power shortage while developing itself, and even transmitting the surplus power to Zhaoyang County.

Chen Dong had seen the road construction drawings provided by the urban construction bureaus of Zhaoyang and Nanshan counties. The Nanzhao Highway would be constructed along the route, and an underground power grid would be laid to transmit the excess power from the Linhe Power Plant to the communes and brigades along the way.

As long as the road can be paved, power can be connected, which will not only facilitate the travel of villagers along the way, but also make their lives more convenient.

Of course, Hongping Village, the mountain village abandoned by Chen Dong, would not enjoy such treatment. Not only would it not receive road repairs and electricity, but it also failed to receive the job quotas promised by Guangdong Company to be allocated to various communes and brigades in Zhaoyang County.

Not only did Chen Dong firmly state that Hongping Village could not be given even half a job quota, but Cao Qiulie, the secretary of Mengyu Commune, would also try to obstruct the process. He was worried about what he could do to make things difficult for Hua Zhenhong and Hongping Village.

When Hong Quan, the secretary of the Zhaoyang County Party Committee, called him, he said that Guangdong Company had given three slots to the communes and brigades along the Nanzhao Highway, as long as the brigades had their land expropriated by the Nanzhao Highway.

After hearing the news, it spread throughout the entire Mengyu Commune. It is impossible to know exactly who spoke first, but the news quickly reached the ears of the villagers in Menggang Village at the foot of Hongping Village.

When the villagers of Menggang Village learned of this news, they were so angry that they cursed and swore at the people of Hongping Village, which was located on the mountainside, for being greedy and harming others, including their Menggang Village.

According to the original blueprints for the Nanzhao Highway, the highway was originally planned to be built from Hongping Village, taking advantage of the terraced fields, and then go down to Menggang Village, which would also benefit Menggang Village.

However, the disturbance caused by Hongping Village forced the Nanzhao Highway to be rerouted, with an elevated road built from the valley next to the mountain, bypassing Hongping and also bypassing Menggang Village.

Now news has come from the commune that Guangdong Company in Lianzhai will offer three job openings to villages along its route. It goes without saying how scarce job openings are these days, especially in rural areas. Unless it's a replacement job, state-owned factories generally don't recruit people from rural areas.

People these days still view jobs with the mindset of having a secure job. The people of Hongping Village caused Menggang Village to lose three "secure jobs," so it would be strange if they didn't curse them.

However, once the other villages along the Nanzhao Highway get electricity, Menggang Village and Hongping Village will likely become enemies for generations!

Hongping Village has single-handedly pulled Menggang Village off the fast track of development!
