Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

Minister Yu: "They are all children of old comrades, and some of my former subordinates. Don't you think they have a bright future? They also want to have a good future. But don't worry, I don't know their abilities, but I can guarantee their human nature. There will be absolutely no problem."

Li Gang nodded: Li Gang really doesn't care about ability or anything like that. What Li Gang cares about is character. Minister Yu really got Li Gang's thoughts right on this point.

"Well, then, give me their information and I'll take a look. If it's really as you said, I'll make arrangements for them, but the level will definitely not be very high. You must tell them this."

Minister Yu was overjoyed. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Here are their information." He took out a stack of papers from his bag and put them on the table. It seemed that everything was ready.

Minister Yu left with satisfaction. Our old comrade Yu was satisfied. The factory directors followed the example of old Yu and came to Li Gang to send people. Li Gang just accepted the list they sent and did not promise to make any arrangements. He just said he would consider it. They were already very satisfied.

Li Gang called over Yuan Jun, Xiao Liuzi, and Yu Zhen. These three guys are now following Li Gang.

"Do you three have any ideas? Do you want to go down and become a minor official, or continue to follow me?"

The three of them are not stupid. Going down there and being a small official there is nothing to be gained from. How long have they been with Li Gang? He is already a secretary at the department level. If they stay here longer, they will definitely get more benefits than they do now.

The three of them said in unison that they were afraid to continue following Li Gang.

Li Gang "Well, then, Xiao Liu, you go and form a driver team. The leading cadres in the town will all be equipped with cars in the future. I have already asked people to purchase the cars. They are all new 212 Jeeps. This will be the standard for department-level cadres in the future. These drivers and others will be under your management. Are you qualified for this position?"

Xiao Liuzi: "Secretary, I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will prepare it later."

Li Gang nodded. He had brought up Xiao Liuzi himself. Although he still had some flaws in some areas, he still had to give him the opportunity to be independent and couldn't rely on him for everything.

"Yuan Jun, you can be my secretary first! And you can also be the director of the office. Your rank should be that of a section chief!"

Yuan Jun: Fuck, I am a section chief now, and also the office director. Yuan Jun knows that this director is specifically for the secretary, so he has a lot of power. Yuan Jun plans to go home and show off to his father, and Zhong Yuemin, my buddy is already a section chief, and you, Zhong Yuemin, are still wandering around all day long.

Li Gang: "Yu Zhen, you can drive for me exclusively, are you willing?"

Yu Zhen immediately replied, "Yes, of course I am willing, but my skills are still..."

"That's not a big deal. Just practice more if you have nothing to do. I'll give you a month. Come drive after a month. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, Secretary, don't worry, I will be proficient in one month."

The most important people for a leader are his driver and secretary, who are close to the leader. Li Gang also had the opportunity to blackmail these two people.

All things are difficult at the beginning. I am the secretary and mayor of the town, and I don't even have a deputy position. There are very few people around me who can be used. It is impossible to do everything. So many positions have been occupied by me, so I must give a share. However, important positions still need people of my own.

Li Gang called Lao Qi, the current deputy director of the East District, and extended an olive branch to him. He said that he did not have a police chief, and this chief was at the level of a deputy director. He believed that Lao Qi would definitely agree.

When Lao Qi heard that Li Gang called him, he realized that he wanted him to be the director and asked if he was willing.

How could I refuse this? When such a good thing falls upon me, only a fool would refuse it.

Lao Qi happily agreed to Li Gang's request and said that he would also bring a few of his men with him. Li Gang told him to make his own arrangements. There were three police stations in the town, and the chiefs were at the section level.

Li Gang asked Lao Qi to make his own arrangements. There were many complications involved. Just think about it, he was the director and a section chief, who wouldn't want to go?

There are only a few major departments, and they are not needed to be so comprehensive at present. Xinxing Town is still mainly focused on factory construction, and some departments only play a supporting role. However, there are still a few important departments that must be there, such as,

The Finance Office, Public Security Bureau, Propaganda Department, Deputy Town Mayor, Personnel Bureau, Education Bureau, Construction Bureau, Commerce Bureau, State Taxation Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Urban and Rural Planning Bureau, Health Bureau, and Justice Bureau are so many that Li Gang is overwhelmed.

The Commerce Bureau has already appointed his father-in-law, Lou Zhenhua, the Public Security Bureau is Lao Qi, and the Health Bureau will let Ding Qiunan and Zhou Xiaobai go. Anyway, there are no big hospitals, so a small hospital for common diseases will be enough. I believe these girls can handle it.

Li Gang from the Justice Bureau plans to call Yang Shi from the detention center. He has come into contact with many prisoners and should be familiar with the judicial system. He does not need to look for legal talents. The law is not very sound these days, so Yang Shi should be able to do the job.

Let Huang Sanye be the deputy director of the Construction Bureau, and there will be no arrangement for the director. The relevant buildings in the town do not need the Construction Bureau to contribute much, as these projects have professional teams, and Li Gang also plans to invite a few foreign designers to design them. At present, foreign countries are still better than domestic ones in terms of construction.

The breeding farm and grain planting are the top priorities. Li Gang plans to let Liu Guangtian be the deputy mayor, in charge of farming. The breeding farm will still be handed over to Qin's father. Li Gang is also worried about other people.

Time flies. Stationmaster Wu said that time is like a wild donkey. In the blink of an eye, it was June 1965. After more than a year of construction, Xinxing Town has become very prosperous.

There are many factories, and most of the products are exported, such as instant noodles, rice cookers, canned pork, electric fans, and even the hot pot and electric blanket made by Li Gang are export products.

Not to mention the mountain bikes and walkmans that Li Gang plans to launch this year. Yes, Li Gang has Japanese technicians researching mountain bikes and tape recorders. The results have come out, and the only thing left is the last step of experiment. If it succeeds, Li Gang plans to send people to participate in the cycling race held by Gallic Chicken this year. This is the best way to advertise. The Japanese side has been working overtime to develop it.

The tape recorder is also Li Gang's evil hobby. Through the news from Japan, Li Gang knew that the Netherlands had invented the magnetic tape in 63, so Li Gang asked Japan to grab this technology. In fact, the tape recorder was just Li Gang's preliminary idea. What Li Gang wanted most was a Walkman, but this thing consumed too much energy. With the current technology, the battery cannot be used for too long, so this tape recorder can be regarded as a pioneer!

Li Gang was working in his office in Xinxing Town when Liu Guangtian knocked on the door and came in.

Liu Guangtian is the deputy mayor at the division level. Currently, in Xinxing Town, only Li Gang is at the bureau level. Others, even the mayor, are only at the division level. It is not that Li Gang is stingy and does not want to be promoted, but that the higher-ups do not allow it. They say that it is good enough for you, a secretary, to be at the bureau level. Others can just be at the division level.

In this way, the person with the most power in Xinxing Town is Li Gang, because he has the highest rank.

Liu Guangtian: "Secretary, this year's rice and corn have been planted. Do you want to go and give me some guidance?"

Li Gang handed Liu Guangtian a cigarette and said with a smile, "Guangtian, you are very good. You have matured a lot and know how to be tactful. That's good. You are much better than when you first became the deputy mayor. I won't go there. I am still confident in your work. How about that bad boy in your family? I heard that he is very naughty and likes to cry for no reason. Xiao'e complains to me every day, saying that your wife falls asleep as soon as she gets to work. Do you want to give your happiness a few days off?"

Yes, Sun Xiaoxiao gave Liu Guangtian an eldest son. This kid always likes to make trouble in the middle of the night, making Sun Xiaoxiao lose energy at work all day. Sun Xiaoxiao is now the deputy director of the Finance Institute, and the director is Lou Xiaoe. Of course, Li Gang must keep such an important department in his hands.

Liu Guangtian: "No need to do that during holidays. My mother-in-law has moved here. With my mother-in-law taking care of Xiaoxiao at night, she shouldn't be that tired."

Li Gang: "Well, that's good. You have to do your job well and not neglect your family. Go to Director Lou later. I heard that Director Lou brought back a lot of good things from Hong Kong this time. Go get some for Xiao Xiao and the others to try."

Lou Zhenhua, the director of the Commercial Bureau, has been abroad quite often in the past year or so, to Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and even to Russia. Lou Zhenhua has also found his happiness, which is all kinds of negotiations and bargaining, which have further stimulated Lou Zhenhua's business potential. Lou Zhenhua is also happy to do this. As long as Li Gang says that this product can earn foreign exchange,

Then Lou Zhenhua would definitely start to promote and contact them right away. Currently, 90% of Xinxing Town’s fiscal revenue comes from these factories, and the products of these factories are also promoted by Lou Zhenhua. Of course, these promotion opportunities were all suggestions from Li Gang.

There were things like buy 100 get one free, agency, and lucky draws. For example, for instant noodles, Li Gang even held a lucky draw. It was a small card inside the instant noodles, a Water Margin character card. Each character card could get a bag of instant noodles. If all the characters were collected, ten boxes of instant noodles could be received. Therefore, the production of instant noodles was in short supply.

The rice cooker is even simpler. You can just cook rice on the spot. The rice cooked in the rice cooker is so fragrant that you want to have a bowl of it right away. Of course, the rice cooked in the rice cooker is fragrant. The rice here is specially prepared by Li Gang, and the water for cooking is the special water that Li Gang gave to Lou Zhenhua. Just add a little bit and you'll be fine. Don't you think the rice can be not fragrant?

But those people don’t know, they still think that it is the fragrance of rice cooked in the rice cooker?
