Iron Bull Legend

"Old Chen, I think our province should still lend a helping hand during this New Year's goods fair in Yangcheng. We can use our provincial connections to extend invitations to neighboring provincial capitals to see if they are interested in joining in. After all, the neighboring provinces also have many good products. If they can enrich the lives of the people of Yangcheng, it will be our responsibility." Governor Yan Song added.

"I'm afraid that our reception work is not good enough. If something goes wrong, it will be embarrassing." Secretary Chen Dakai still has his own little idea, which is to let these domestic and foreign businessmen consider investment in the province in a targeted manner first.

"Secretary Chen, this is what I think. Our New Year's Market this year is just a test run because we have no experience. Only when a large number of people come can our shortcomings be exposed. If we want to develop the economy, we can't do it alone. I also want to hold a few bigger events after the New Year through this event."

"Okay." Secretary Chen Dakai just said "Okay," which was considered an agreement, but he agreed with gritted teeth. His idea of ​​local protection was still very conservative.

This matter was settled, and Secretary Chen Dakai and Governor Yan Song left immediately. After all, these people couldn't have fun with them present. It was mainly because of the invisible pressure from the leaders that these officials couldn't let go. How could they get closer to these domestic and foreign merchants in such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

As long as they put in all their efforts tonight and win over all these second-generation rich people, even a small investment will be enough.

When the two men left, they took the inspection team with them, which meant that the person who was sabotaging behind the scenes had a sword hanging over his head, which was the anger of the two big guys.

In this matter, Tie Niu directly put a big hat on the person who was behind the scenes and making trouble, and accused him of destroying the economic development of the entire province. This hat was both heavy and unbearable. He looked so miserable that Tie Niu could not imagine how miserable he would be.

The banquet continued. Without the pressure from the two big guys and the disruption from the inspection team, everyone was looking for their own friends.

Those domestic and foreign investors became the targets that these local officials wanted to win over, and a fierce battle began. This was what Tie Niu hoped to see. At present, the development of Yangcheng City could not be operated by one or two investors, and more people were needed, especially businessmen with qualifications and huge amounts of capital in the construction field.

This special banquet lasted until after twelve o'clock, when everyone reluctantly parted. Tie Niu had already arranged rooms for these people. After all, they had all been drinking, and even if they brought staff with them, they could not leave so late.

Tie Niu and Wang Ping drove away in their respective cars. When Tie Niu returned to the municipal government office, it was almost one o'clock. At this time, he was no longer sleepy at all.

Sitting at his desk, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write. His ideas flowed like a spring. He linked the entire annual meeting and the fireworks show together, and set up locations for the fireworks show in various places across the city.

And according to the actual situation, the annual meeting will be set up near the station, in a place large enough to accommodate tens of thousands or more people. As long as these places are built, Tie Niu is thinking of the scene of the New Year's goods fair in the north.

This scene is brought here in all aspects, with stalls, sales points, happy and joyful smiling faces, snacks, local specialties, and special New Year items.

Tie Niu was thinking about it, and remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival stage in Ping'an Town. Yes, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival stage. The construction method was really great. The New Year's goods fair was held in that way, which was down-to-earth and could reflect the flavor of the New Year.

The pen moved quickly, leaving strings of words on the snow-white paper. The tip of the pen jumped on the paper and kept moving.

After processing the text, I designed drawings on sheets of white paper, all of which were designed to allow dealers and buyers to be close to each other without causing too much friction due to crowding.

It was not until dawn that Tie Niu put down his pen and rubbed his sore fingers. A crisp crackling sound came from between his knuckles. It was another sleepless night, and only a body like his could endure it.

After running out of the city government compound, Tie Niu still ran slowly on the streets in the early morning as usual, and still greeted and said hello to every early-rising cleaner he met.

The Spring Festival is coming soon. I wonder how these cleaners who live at the bottom of society will spend the Spring Festival. What do they lack? What do they need? What can the government do to help them?

Tie Niu was thinking, and followed a middle-aged woman in her forties, watching the broom in her hand waving continuously.

"Auntie, how are the preparations for the New Year going?" Tie Niu asked softly.

"Alas, no one made much money this year, and the New Year is just like that. We buy a few pounds of meat and seafood, and buy new clothes and socks for the children. We just have to make do with it." The aunt sighed and still expressed what was in her mind.

"Oh, how much does it cost for your family to buy these? Is five hundred yuan enough?" Tie Niu asked.

"That depends on the population of the family. A family of five or six people doesn't need that much, but for a family like ours with more than a dozen people, including the elderly and children, at least 700 or 800 yuan is simply not enough. The elderly in our family are also sick, and the money for medicine alone has dragged our family down."

"Yes, you have elderly parents and young children to take care of. If you spend all the money on them, you and your uncle won't be able to buy new clothes for the New Year. Are you just going to make do with it?" Tie Niu asked tentatively.

"Of course not. We haven't bought new clothes for several years. It makes me sad to talk about it. But our life is much better than before. At least we don't go hungry anymore."

"Auntie, don't families like yours have any savings? I heard that the city's investigation report said that our people still have some savings in their pockets." Tie Niu suddenly remembered the report submitted by the government a few days ago, which talked about the people's savings problem.

"Young man, who told you this? In a dual-income family like ours, my husband works in a food factory, and the basic living expenses he gets are barely enough to buy food for the family. Just think about what I can do with this tiny salary. It's taken us all these years to have enough to eat. Where can I save money? If I really have savings, why don't I buy some necessary household items? Not to mention far away, just look at the cleaners in our team, more than 90 percent of them are the same as my family, and I don't know about the rest," the woman said helplessly.

"Yes, I understand from what you said, Auntie. I heard that clothing merchants have a lot of unsold inventory of clothes. If I give them to you, would you be disgusted?" Tie Niu suddenly remembered what the reform leading group had said about inventory.

"Will it be our turn? That's not very realistic. There isn't enough for the leading cadres. We dare not even think about it. Young man, where are you from? I saw you coming in and out of the municipal government. You are not a cadre of the municipal government, are you?" There was some fear in the woman's eyes.

"Haha, big sister, I'm just a small staff member, don't be afraid, we have said what we want to say, I promise I won't tell anyone."

"You scared me to death. You don't know how cruel the people in the government are. In the past, one of my sisters broke up her family just because she told the truth. We were really scared and dared not speak."

"Auntie, can you tell me what's going on?" Tie Niu suddenly became confused. It was unfair that his family was broken up just because he told the truth.

"Let's not talk about it. We ordinary people dare not talk nonsense. We just have to do our hard and rough work of sweeping the streets. At least we can support our families and send our children to school. If we really say something wrong because of this broken mouth, it will harm the whole family. Alas." The woman sighed.

"Okay, sister, I won't talk to you any more. Don't worry, I'm the same as you. I don't talk too much when I'm working." Tie Niu said this and slowly trotted away.

He was very satisfied with the report when he first saw it. However, he learned the real information from an ordinary employee, which was an average value. Such vague concepts that confuse people were deliberately trying to divert attention. To put it bluntly, they were for the leaders to see.

He couldn't help but feel angry. Some departments should be severely punished. They should no longer use such irresponsible figures to deceive the people and fool the leaders. They should truly serve the people and share their worries.

There are still more than ten days left. During these ten days, we must ensure the purchase and supply of goods for the people before the New Year, and provide condolences and compensation to the people, especially those at the grassroots level.

I was thinking while running, and after one lap I already had a basic idea. This not only solved the basic needs of the people, but also reduced the burden on enterprises, allowing them to have some basic income and improving the lives of the grassroots people.

After a simple breakfast and listening to some discussions of ordinary citizens at the breakfast stall, he returned to the municipal government office and delivered some documents to Wang Ping's desk. Then he sat down and sorted out his thoughts, put them into a document, and sent it to Wang Ping's desk.

At half past seven, Wang Ping arrived in a happy mood. Last night, he was in the limelight, hanging out with a bunch of bigwigs from various cities and counties. This was something he had never dared to imagine in his entire life, so he was even happier today.

"Good morning, Mayor," Wang Ping greeted him and started to clean up Tie Niu's desk. He swept the floor and then came over to ask Tie Niu if he had any instructions.

"Today, you issue a notice to gather all the carpenters below and place them in the city guesthouse first. Here are the design drawings." Tie Niu handed his design to Wang Ping.

"Mayor, is this the stall design for the annual fair? It's so beautiful." Wang Ping praised while looking at the floor plan on the sketch, because he had never seen such a stall design before.

"Haha, stop flattering me. I'll go out now and take a look at the site to see where is the most suitable place to hold our annual meeting." Tie Niu picked up the key with a smile.

"Mayor, the railway station freight yard less than one kilometer away from Yangcheng Station is a very suitable place. It can accommodate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Now, it is vacant. I live there. You might as well go and take a look." Wang Ping suggested.

"Oh, there is no cargo in the yard now?"

"There's nothing, just a lot of wormwood. We can clean it up and move it there. There won't be any problem at all. The big tube house can protect us from wind and rain, and we can also set up stalls outside. When the weather is good, the inside and outside can be combined. If it rains, who would be in the mood to go shopping?"

"You are right. With a large cylinder room, there is a place for carpenters to process these things. Your suggestion is good. I will go over and take a look." Tie Niu smiled happily.

"Mayor, wait a moment. I'm going to call my classmate who works in railway logistics. I'll ask him to pick you up and take you with me when you get there. It will be more convenient," Wang Ping said as he picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the number directly. The call was quickly made.
