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

On the phone, Hong Quan could only reply apologetically, "Secretary Deying, please don't be anxious. I know this request is indeed a bit excessive!"

"You should first talk to Mr. Chen and see what he says. If it really doesn't work, if three thousand isn't enough, then ask Mr. Chen to lower the price a bit. We can't leave this road unrepaired, right?"

"Old Hong! Tell me, how did you become the Party Secretary of Zhaoyang County? Back then, in front of Secretary Zhou, you made all sorts of promises, saying you'd contract out the entire road construction project. Is this how you actually do it?"

"This is just the beginning, and your Zhaoyang County commune has already produced such a mess," Lin Deying said, utterly speechless. "There's still so much to go; won't something else go wrong?"

Hong Quan immediately assured him, "Secretary Deying, don't worry, absolutely not. It's just that the terrain in Hongping Village is a bit rugged, and we do need to use the terraced fields of Hongping Village to lower the slope. Otherwise, why would I be here telling you all this!"

Lin Deying smiled and shook his head, saying, "Alright, I'll ask Mr. Chen for you. But let me make this clear first, this is a bit too outrageous. I doubt Mr. Chen will agree to it."

"Whether you agree or not, the road still needs to be repaired. Why don't you ask first?"

After the two hung up the phone, Lin Deying was so angry that he cursed, "What kind of nonsense is this? Three thousand a mu? How dare you even mention that!"

In Lianzhai Village, the dirt road at the village entrance has been divided into two sides. In order not to affect the passage of other vehicles, people and livestock, the people of Lianzhai Village decided to repair one side first, and then repair the other half after the cement on that side dries.

This mud-brick house by the roadside has been used to store cement and steel bars brought in by trucks from the county town. The village militiamen are on guard day and night with guns.

Since Chen Dong officially started the construction project, the entire Lianzhai Village has been under construction. Originally, there was only one road in and out of Lianzhai Village, and the road was not wide, only wide enough for one car to pass through.

To facilitate vehicle access to the industrial park in the future, the Lianzhai Village collective unanimously decided that, with funding from Guangdong Company, a new two-way lane would be built along the irrigation ditch at the western end of the village, leading to the main road, for vehicles entering and exiting the industrial park.

At the same time, the original narrow roads in Lianzhai Village were widened and built into cement roads, and streetlights and other facilities were installed. All of this was funded by Guangdong Company.

The villagers of Lianzhai Village naturally gave their full support. Improving their living and access conditions was beneficial to them, especially since they didn't have to pay a penny and would receive subsidies and double work points. Naturally, they were all smiles.

The road construction workers from Lianzhai Village and Shangzhai Village were pushing wheelbarrows, pouring cement mortar from the mixer onto the road surface where steel reinforcement cages had been laid. The deputy director from the county construction bureau, wearing a straw hat and rubber boots, shouted, ignoring the cement mortar all over the ground, "Push it out quickly, spread it evenly, and use a steel shovel to tamp it down!"

The roar of the diesel generator not far away forced the deputy director to shout even louder, "The cement is too dry! Add more water to the mixer, don't add cement! It's free!"

The people in Lianzhai Village were all participating in road construction for the first time. They didn't know anything and could only listen to the deputy director's instructions and do whatever he told them to do.

A car came rolling in dust from the other side of the dirt road. Director Feng Yuanshen of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, carrying a message from County Party Secretary Lin Deying, arrived at Lianzhai to find Chen Dong and discuss the land requisition issue in Hongping Village, Mengyu Commune, Zhaoyang County.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, Director Feng Yuanshen had to get out of the car and walk through the muddy ground into the village, as the only road leading into Lianzhai Village was also under repair.

In Lianzhai Village, Feng Yuanshen met Chen Dong, who was discussing matters with the Chu-Tian alliance. Chen Dong was looking at a map and asking Dai Weiguo, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, about the site selection for the thermal power plant, looking for a suitable location.

When Feng Yuanshen came in, Chen Dongzheng and Dai Weiguo were discussing whether to build the power plant on the upper or lower section of the river. Dai Weiguo thought it should be on the upper section. "Considering the cooling water circulation problem of the power plant in the future, I think it is better to be on the upper section. In addition, the road to and from the park has been built in Lianzhai, which will make it convenient to transport coal and slag in the future."

Chen Zaiguang and Tian Chulian, who were listening in, nodded in agreement. Chen Dong chose to trust Dai Weiguo, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, and nodded, saying, "Okay, then we'll do it your way, Director Dai. I'll have them send over the specific equipment parameters as soon as possible. Director Dai, you need to provide the drawings as soon as possible."

"Okay, as long as you provide the equipment parameters, Mr. Chen, our Urban Construction Bureau will work day and night to produce the blueprints for you." Of all the construction projects of Guangdong Company, Dai Weiguo values ​​this thermal power plant project the most.

Being able to participate in the design of the Guangdong Thermal Power Plant and its subsequent construction was a valuable practical experience for the Nanshan County Urban Construction Bureau, and a rare and significant event for them.

As for the subsequent issues such as the installation and commissioning of the power plant equipment purchased by Chen Dong, the Tuocheng Power Bureau and the Nanshan County Power Bureau will send personnel to learn and participate throughout the process.

These days, opportunities to participate in such advanced foreign power generation equipment are rare, so Zhou Haimin, the Party Secretary of Tuocheng City, naturally attaches great importance to it. This power plant of Guangdong Company can help Tuocheng City's power system cultivate a lot of power industry professionals.

This has provided many valuable and feasible experiences and lessons for the subsequent power development of Tuocheng City. Even the provincial power grid has clearly expressed its hope that after the establishment of Guangdong Power Plant, researchers from the provincial power grid can come to Lianzhai to participate in learning and explore a path for China's own power generation equipment.

Chen Dong naturally had no objections. As long as those who came to learn didn't mess around with the equipment and just stopped it from running, it wasn't a big deal for them to just watch and learn from the sidelines.

"Mr. Chen, are you busy?" Feng Yuanshen saw that the group was so engrossed in their conversation that they hadn't noticed him coming in, so he had to ask with a smile.

"Director Feng is here, please have a seat. We were talking about something and didn't notice you coming in," Chen Dong said, making room for Feng Yuanshen to sit on the bench.

"Director Feng, is there something you need?"

"There is indeed something," Feng Yuanshen glanced at the people present, "It's about the land acquisition for road construction in Zhaoyang County."

"What is it, Director Feng?" Chen Dong said with a smile as he offered a cigarette to Feng Yuanshen.

"The villagers of Hongping Village in Mengyu Commune, Zhaoyang County, have some concerns about the compensation of 700 yuan per mu for land expropriation. Secretary Lin asked me to come and talk to you, Mr. Chen, to see if we can raise this issue appropriately!"

"How much?"
