Chapter 59 – Who wants to peel garlic?

Xu Fei understood the intentions of the Development and Reform leaders.

Using projects and achievements, help him get promoted and increase his salary, quickly making him a senior manager at TEP. Then secretly obtain some advanced production equipment that is banned from capitalism in the East Mountain industrial area.

Advanced equipment is easy to handle.

The basic production line that comes with the core of the base can produce simple mechanical devices.

Repair the "military camp module" and consume 100,000 energy to exchange for a level two basic production line, which can produce complex mechanical devices, such as a wind-up toy gun.

Repair the "power plant module" and consume 1 million energy to exchange for a level three basic production line, which can produce simple electrical devices, such as a DC motor and light bulb.

Repair the "tank factory" and consume 10 million energy to exchange for a level four basic production line, which can produce complex electrical devices, such as an AC motor and transistor.

After accumulating enough energy, exchange for two level four basic production lines, keep one for personal use, and assign an engineer to dismantle the other.

Give the Development and Reform leaders as much money as they want, and we will give them a few components.

If they give less money, then things won't go well...

The problem is that it's not easy to handle the position.

Or rather, the Development and Reform leaders caught us off guard with this play.

Now, the two engineers responsible for handling the offshore company have already obtained their passports and visas, and have arrived in Jamaica by plane.

They will later transfer to the Cayman Islands and meet with the personnel of the entrusted company. It will take at most three days to complete the TEP company's related documents.

Then they will submit the foreign investment application to Qinggang, confirming TEP, and relocate TEP (China) to Swamp City. The tin toy factory will then have an investment entity.

And the departments that have become independent will each establish subsidiary companies. With the current scale of the toy factory, it is enough to form a group.

By then...

I can appoint myself as the general manager and have others call me General Xu.

I can also appoint myself as the chairman and have others call me Chairman Xu.

Or even hang the title of CEO and have others call me Chief Executive Officer Xu.

Xu Fei has already planned it out.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

On Monday, all the employees of the factory will call me General Xu.

On Tuesday, all the employees of the factory will call me Chairman Xu.

On Wednesday, all the employees of the factory will call me Factory Director Little Xu.

On Thursday, all the employees of the factory will call me CEO.

On Friday, male employees will call me General Xu, and female employees will call me Chairman Xu...

On Saturday, female employees will call me General Xu...

If anyone calls me the wrong title, they will be fined!

But if the Development and Reform leaders do things this way, I can't have such a high position.

Otherwise, how can I expand the projects?

For example, the toy factory in Large Swamps only has 200 acres of land. With its current scale, we need to apply for more, right?

For example, the coal used by the power plant should have a cheaper supply price, right?

For example, the road to Yellow Mud Hillock is not easy to travel, so we need to fix it, right?

For example, we need to speed up the progress of the highway project that crosses Large Swamps, right?

Once we handle one of these, I can slightly get promoted.

"Report to the leader, good news, I got promoted!"

"Report to the leader, good news, I got promoted again!"

In the future, I must make this statement a catalyst for our emotional communication.

Xu Fei fell silent for a moment and pondered secretly. Then he sighed, "Leader, actually it's quite difficult for me in the foreign enterprise. Those foreigners simply don't trust us."

"I understand!"

"If we can handle the power plant and get compensation... maybe, probably, I should become the director of the thermal power plant, right?"

"That's great!" The Development and Reform leader slapped his thigh. "You work harder and also operate a bit. I will speed up the approval process on my end and strive for you to become the director of the power plant!"

"Is it that important?"

"Of course! Although our power generation technology in China is not bad, we can benefit a lot from more exchanges with overseas power plants. The problem is that TEP is cooperating with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the Supply and Marketing Cooperative doesn't have technical personnel. So, we won't gain much profit from this project. But if you become the director of the power plant, we can secretly arrange for technical personnel to come and learn!"

"I see!" Xu Fei suddenly realized, and couldn't help but draw out a long tone.

The Development and Reform leader didn't notice anything strange and continued in a low voice, holding his shoulder, "Remember, you must operate. Those foreigners are very greedy."

"I understand. To be honest, the sales general manager of the toy factory is my distant nephew. I spent 50,000 yuan to operate that position. In addition... just look at the employees in the factory, how many are from our village? Even that dog is from our village."

"..."

...

It was noon.

The large canteen of the toy factory, which was about to become the Tinplate Catering Company, prepared five large pots of "Green Pepper Chicken with Fried Potato Slices" to entertain the leaders of East Mountain Prefecture and the employees on the day shift.

The street vendors who rented stalls at a high price also brought their own specialty delicacies.

Zhuangmo, Guadang, Jianbing, Xiaolongbao, and Donkey Meat Soup...

A full table, very substantial.

After the leaders had eaten and drunk their fill, they walked around the workshop and expressed their admiration.

At three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Development and Reform leader exchanged a knowing look with Xu Fei and got on a minibus.

This trip to Swamp City has been fruitful and represents a successful conclusion.

Therefore, the three minibusses headed straight to East Mountain Prefecture.

On the way.

The Development and Reform leader pondered the agreement with someone and felt that it was becoming more feasible.

But it still needed to be explained within the department to avoid disrupting the plan.

Thinking about it, he looked around the car.

"Do you know that between Swamp City and the neighboring Jishui City, there is a county called Jinxiang?

Jinxiang County is a good place, nourished by Jishui, the canal, and Nansihu Lake. The land is fertile and full of nutrients.

I don't know when it started, or which old leader took the lead, but Jinxiang County has become famous for growing garlic. It never stops all year round, to the point that the entire county's land is covered with garlic. Every household's yard, roof, courtyard wall, trees, and roadside are all filled with garlic.

Therefore, Jinxiang County is also known as the hometown of garlic."The garlic from Jinxiang County is sold nationwide and even globally.

With such high sales and large production, it occasionally needs to be processed into sugar garlic, garlic paste, garlic sauce...

Someone has to handle it, right?

But every household is busy growing garlic, harvesting garlic sprouts, garlic bulbs, packaging and transporting, they simply can't cope.

What to do?

The county leaders at that time, in a moment of desperation, sought my old leader, that is, the planning department, and specifically applied for a prison.

Back then, the monthly salary was about sixteen or seventeen, and the county gave two for labor reform and reeducation.

Well, don't look at the small amount given, the number of prisoners transferred was not small.

As the scale of the garlic industry grew, the scale of the prison was also expanded again and again, and finally, due to land issues, disputes arose with several surrounding township farms and factories.

Out of necessity, my old leader, oh, at this time it was already the era of reform and opening up, which is our current Development and Reform, specifically changed the location of the prison and opened two more.

Now, there are five prisons around Jinxiang County, including labor reform, reeducation, women's, transition, and heavy sentence prisons. The management staff alone totals three to four thousand people.

And the prisoners inside, they get up at five o'clock every morning, have ten minutes for meals, and then each person takes a fertilizer bag and gathers in the yard.

At this time, the yard is already full of garlic, like small hills.

The prisoners' task is to peel garlic, keep peeling until lunch, then continue in the afternoon, and after dinner, peel until eleven o'clock at night.

How much each person peels each day, and how well they peel, are strictly regulated, otherwise... ah, let's not describe it.

It is said that the recidivism rate of anyone who has been in there is far lower than other prisons in China, which can be called a miracle in the history of prisons.

And the people in the nearby area also use 'peeling garlic' to describe serving a sentence.

The provincial Development and Reform leader finished this story in five minutes and looked around at the people in the car again, "I believe none of you here want to go in and peel garlic, right?"

"......"

I took my computer for repair, and only the outline is left. I read it from the beginning today, sorted out the plot and wrote this chapter. There is another one tonight.
