Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

The three children kept calling him "Dad" all day long. Xu Damao had already treated them as his own children, so Li Gang was really worrying too much.

Li Gang: "Okay, you are a deputy director-level cadre after all. Let's talk business. What exactly do you want to talk to me about this time?"

Xu Damao calmed down. Li Gang's appearance just now really frightened Xu Damao. Is this the power of the top leader? It's really scary.

Xu Damao: "I don't mean anything. I was the first one to follow you to build your kingdom. If it were in ancient times, I would be a close and important official. But now even Cao Dali is the director, and I, Xu Damao, who was the first one to follow you, am still standing still. Isn't this letting them surpass me? Not to mention Liu Guangtian, who is already the deputy mayor."

Li Gang "Do you really want to come to my place? What are you going to do with the food factory?"

Xu Damao: "Hey, what can we do with the food factory? Just hand it over to the street. It's not hard to get the supply of canned fruit. As long as we work hard, we can keep it going. But the benefits may not be as good as before."

Li Gang thought about it and it was true. With Xu Damao around, most food factories were doing well. But if Xu Damao left, it would be good enough if the food factories could survive.

"Okay, I don't have a propaganda minister here, if you want to come, you can be the propaganda minister here, and your rank will be raised to a director, okay?"

Xu Damao stood up, opened his mouth wide, and laughed, "It's still Xiaosi, no, it's the secretary. You are loyal enough. You haven't forgotten me, Xu Damao. The Propaganda Department is the Propaganda Department. I used to work in the Propaganda Department at the steel mill. I am quite familiar with it."

Li Gang nodded. "Well, there is no cinema in Xinxing Town yet. You should contact the Construction Bureau and build a cinema first. If your father doesn't despise us and thinks there is no future for us, you can come to the cinema and be the director! He is a suitable candidate."

Xu Damao: "That's great. Don't worry. My dad will definitely agree. What's the point of having a future? Follow the secretary and you will see who has no future."

Li Gang "You, the minister, are also a member of the town's standing committee. With you, there are only seven members of the standing committee. Mayor Hu was appointed by the higher authorities. I don't need to mention Liu Guangtian. You also know Lao Qi from the Public Security Bureau. You can also get to know Yuan Jun, the office director. Director Sun from the Personnel Bureau was introduced by Minister Yu. You can also get in touch with him if you have time."

Xu Damao understood immediately that most of the people here were Li Gang's people, except for Mayor Hu. Xu Damao already knew how to work in the future.

Li Gang: "Tomorrow we will hold an enlarged meeting of the town committee. Meet the heads of various departments. You will also be able to carry out your work in the future. The standing committee members will all have cars. You also know Xiao Liuzi. Just go find him. I will notify you."

Xu Damao suppressed his excitement and left Li Gang's office. He just wanted to go home and show off to Liang Ladi. As long as I, Xu Damao, make a move, I will be right in the right place. We must have a couple of drinks tonight. It would be best if we can have some in the courtyard. Then we can piss off Yan Jiecheng and make him do something weird.

The enlarged meeting was held the next day. Xu Damao also met Lou Xiao'e, who is now the director of the Finance Institute, and his former father-in-law Lou Zhenhua, as well as many people he knew. Xu Damao made the calculations and thought, wow, anyone who had a slight relationship with Li Gang had a position. Following Li Gang meant having a future. He had to follow closely and could not let Liu Guangtian and others surpass him. He was a veteran.

In early September, bicycles became famous in the country of blast furnaces. The reason was that the foreigner sponsored by Lou Zhenhua won the championship with his super performance. Li Gang's speed bicycle became a hit, and orders came in like snowflakes. Although the orders came, Li Gang was at a loss.

Because the bicycle factory was not very large, Li Gang only planned to test the waters first. He did not expect such a big response and so many orders. This caught Li Gang off guard. Fortunately, this was only a letter of intent, not formal, and not a breach of contract.

This is all thanks to Lou Zhenhua's experience in business and his prudent approach, otherwise he would have to pay a huge price just for the penalty for breach of contract.

Li Gang did not dare to delay this matter and reported it to the city immediately. When the city heard that there were so many orders, they attached great importance to it and reported the matter to the second person overnight.

The next afternoon, instructions came from above. First Xinxing Town was to expand the factory immediately and recruit a large number of people. If there were not enough people, they would transfer people from other factories.

We must first ensure the production of bicycles, and all of the foreign exchange must be retained. This is not just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign exchange, this is almost hundreds of millions. That's how much foreign exchange reserves the entire Dragon Country has. Do you think the higher-ups will not pay attention to it?

If this was done by Li Gang, a black-hearted person, Lou Zhenhua initially suggested 350 Chinese Yuan, but Li Gang was very opposed to it, asking for 400 internally and at least double or triple the amount externally.

As soon as they won the championship, these foreigners came to ask for the price. Lou Zhenhua remembered what Li Gang said, that he wanted at least one to two times the price. Lou Zhenhua did not dare to ask for more, fearing that they would run away. So he doubled the price according to what Li Gang said, which was 800 Chinese yuan.

But these foreigners thought it was 800M dollars? They all said the price was very fair, so they increased the order.

Later, Lou Zhenhua found out that he had made a mistake, and he was so happy. Lou Zhenhua ordered 800 Chinese Yuan, but the foreigners thought it was an M knife. Lou Zhenhua was so happy. 800 dollars, converted into Chinese Yuan, is almost 2,000 yuan for a bicycle.

So when the Chinese heard that a bicycle was sold for 800 dollars, and the minimum number must be 3,000, and the maximum number must be 12,000. This is almost 60,000. Do you think the higher authorities will not pay attention to it? This foreign exchange must be retained. Even if other factories stop working, the bicycle factory must be given priority.

Just as the instructions from above came down, the chief of the city came to Li Gang. Li Gang saw that this person was an old revolutionary, so he hurried to receive him.

Peng Zhengzhi: "Let's talk business first. I have transferred some people from the Beijing Bicycle Factory to you. The time is tight and the task is heavy. If you need anything, please let me know now."

Seeing the old revolutionary's vigorous and resolute style, Li Gang also quickly said, "Although they are also from a bicycle factory, the bicycles here are different from ours. They must first undergo training and then use the assembly line operation method. These orders should not delay things."

Peng Zhengzhi: "Well, your idea is good. I think it is feasible. Well, let's do as you say. You don't have to worry about the factory. I will send people to work overtime and it will be completed soon. As for the production equipment, you also have to get it done quickly."

Li Gang: "We have some equipment in Japan. I have sent a telegram to the director of our Commerce Bureau, asking him to ship the equipment over to Japan as soon as possible. This way, we can take multiple measures and there shouldn't be any delays."

Peng Zhengzhi nodded, "Well, you are good at your job. You don't know how happy you were when you found out that you sold so many bicycles."

"I gave instructions on the spot that everything must be given to the bicycle factory. You are the first one to be offered this treatment. You are a good candidate, but you are a little young. Otherwise, I would have brought you here to be my deputy, hahahaha."

By the end of October, the bicycle factory was ready for production. The number of bicycles produced was more than 600 per day, which was enough time for delivery after the New Year. If we were more skilled, we would have no problem producing 1,800 per day.

The bicycle factory, during this period, that was definitely big news. Why was it big news? In order to speed up the progress, the city brought in all the bicycle repairmen. Do you think this is big news? Anyone who knows a little about bicycles has come to the bicycle factory during this period.

At that time, the Chinese were very united. When they heard that they could earn foreign money and that the bicycle factory was short of staff, they signed up very enthusiastically and wanted to do their part. There were no ulterior motives here.

They are not fools. This bicycle factory is a good company. If they can do well, they may become workers in the bicycle factory in the future. They know all the ins and outs here.

But there were also people with ulterior motives. Yan Jiecheng was one of them. He had come into contact with bicycles and repaired them several times. This time, he pretended to be an expert and entered the bicycle factory. The city was also in a hurry to hire people and did not conduct a thorough investigation. In this way, Yan Jiecheng was allowed to get in by deception.

But you know what, although Yan Jiecheng was not good at other things, he was really good at tinkering with bicycles. He quickly learned how to assemble them. Later on, he not only successfully stayed in the bicycle factory, but also became a team leader.

Yan Jiecheng got a job, and it was a good one. Yan Fugui finally felt relieved, so he immediately started to find a wife for Yan Jiecheng.

You know what, a few years ago, he really found a wife for Yan Jiecheng. The girl was from the countryside, very pretty, and had been to school for a few years. Her family was relatively wealthy. She had three older brothers, all of whom were married, and she was the youngest. Yan Fugui used her identity as a teacher and also said that his eldest son worked in a bicycle factory that generated foreign exchange, and was a team leader.

After successfully tricking the girl into getting her, Yan Fugui did not tell her that Yan Jiecheng had been in labor camp. He did not dare to say that. Yan Fugui's plan was to make the matter a fait accompli first. Even if the girl knew about it, it would not matter.

This Yan Fugui is really a scoundrel. He is committing marriage fraud. If the girl's family knew Yan Jiecheng's background, don't forget that he has three brothers. In addition to the Yan family's family tradition and Yan Jiecheng's personality,

The three brothers from my mother's side are going to tear down the Yan family.

Li Gang didn't know that Yan Jiecheng had come to work at the bicycle factory. Even if he knew, Li Gang wouldn't care. He and Yan Jiecheng were not at the same level at all.
