Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 318 Resignation from the position of district mayor

Chapter 317 Resignation from the position of district mayor

In mid-December 1963, Luo Cheng didn’t know how many days he had been in the industrial zone this year. But he knows that it will always be like this in the future, and there will even be less time.

This time he chose to come back in mid-December to fulfill his promise. Luo Cheng already feels that he is completely unfit to be the district chief, and the superiors are still considering suppressing him for another year or two. He is really too young, and they plan to raise Luo Cheng’s level by another level at the end of next year. Even so, They are also quite young department-level cadres.

However, Luo Cheng came to the provincial and district leaders with a letter of recommendation and asked to promote Du Yongkang, director of the industrial zone, to deputy district chief. Due to his own work reasons, he could not take care of both ends, so he applied to be dismissed from his job as the director of the industrial zone. However, he was still responsible for the export work of the industrial zone, so he took the initiative to transfer and became the deputy secretary of the district committee of the industrial zone.

The level of deputy secretary is in line with Luo Cheng’s current administrative level. As for the industrial zone, after he retires from the position of district director, who will be transferred to this position by the superiors, and even a full secretary will be arranged. Luo Chengdu will not care. This is tantamount to giving the big peach of the industrial zone to the higher authorities, and there is no need for anyone to pick the peach.

If the automobile industry zone continues to develop and reach the scale of a state-owned enterprise, the province may not be able to move this peach. Maybe the positions of district mayor and secretary will have to be arranged by the national character department at that time.

In fact, many people have been staring at the industrial zone. Everyone knows that Luo Cheng is a talented person with abilities and skills. Although he doesn’t do much research and development anymore, when it comes to the most powerful Ru0026D personnel in the industrial zone, he belongs to Luo Cheng. How many times in technological production has Luo Cheng overtaken others in a corner, and the products he developed have either caught up with the international level or surpassed it.

As far as the design of the engine is concerned, many people have to admire Luo Cheng when they see it. Therefore, a person who has skills, abilities and even background, even if he would rather lower his level, cannot easily let Luo Cheng be restricted in the industrial zone simply because his level is not enough.

But everyone knows one thing, this level can be one or even two levels higher. But obviously the person in charge of the highest-level company can be at the B-level level, while Luo Cheng is only a C-level leader. No matter how hard he suppresses him, he can’t suppress him like this. When the time comes, Luo Cheng’s level will be too different and he won’t be able to suppress him anymore.

In the past two years, the industrial zone has stopped large-scale development, a bit like there is guidance from an expert behind it. Because according to domestic demand for vehicles, industrial zones can continue to develop rapidly. But they suppressed it, saying that they wanted to benefit employees, contribute to the country’s debt repayment, and work hard to export.

But everyone thinks that this may be a clear statement, and it only suppresses the rapid expansion of the industrial zone. When Luo Cheng’s age comes up, there will be no obstacle to his advancement in administrative level. For example, at the age of twenty-six, he can directly become deputy T-level, then at the age of twenty-eight, he can become T-level, and when he reaches thirty, he can become the deputy B-level. If you continue like this, there will be no obstacles to becoming a full B-level before the age of thirty-five.

Other people and factories and companies may not be able to do this, but the industrial zone here in Luo Cheng can definitely do this, because although the products of other companies are still in short supply, there is definitely no problem in increasing production and scale, but other companies have restrictions, and Luo Cheng is here. No.

The limitations of many enterprises are region and raw materials. The textile industry seems to have large enterprises in every city, but it has raw material restrictions, and every city has such factories. You simply cannot develop without restrictions. Bicycle factories are better and can be sold to other provinces and even all over the country, but there are still restrictions. It is easy to reach the T-level, but it is difficult to go up, and it will be restricted by steel materials.

In fact, the automobile industry zone in Luocheng is also restricted and consumes a lot of steel. Like other vehicle companies, their production has not increased much in several years. Technology is one aspect, and materials are also another aspect. Glass also needs to be imported.

But why is there no restriction on the industrial zone in Luocheng? Because the products here can be exported and more materials consumed can be purchased overseas, but the country will not use the foreign exchange earned to purchase iron ore. Since domestic mineral resources were being used to repay the Soviet Union’s debts, how could it possibly import iron ore resources again?

Because industrial zones can export large quantities, there are no restrictions on the use of raw materials here. Not only is there no restriction, there is also a rolling mill and a steel plant nearby. Therefore, if the industrial zone is allowed to develop, it is not impossible to become a national-prefixed enterprise.

Now, Luo Cheng actually voluntarily gave up his main position in the industrial zone and only asked for the position of deputy district chief for Du Yongkang. Provincial and district leaders have almost all postponed their work recently, just talking about the industrial zone.

With Du Yongkang’s qualifications, from being a deputy mayor to the current director of the industrial zone, it is already a triple jump. Triple jumps are not very rare among low-level cadres and leaders. For example, some people have made outstanding contributions, but Du Yongkang’s triple jumps are not small, and they are a bit of a free ride.

It’s really too soon to become the deputy district chief again, but Luo Cheng said that he can be the acting deputy district chief first and become a regular next year. With Luo Cheng’s recommendation, Du Yongkang has the capital to be promoted ‘exceptional’.

If Luo Cheng had not proposed to resign as district chief, Du Yongkang’s promotion would have been a topic of discussion on provincial and district personnel transfers. But now no one cares about Du Yongkang’s affairs. Luo Chengdu has handed over the position of district mayor, and if Luo Cheng does not serve as district mayor, the position of secretary will also appear.

A deputy district chief was proposed by Luo Cheng when he handed over his position. There was no need to discuss it at all. If anyone discussed this and had any opinions, and Luo Cheng regretted continuing to be the district chief, I am sure some people would go crazy.

Not only was there no discussion about Du Yongkang’s promotion, but within a week, Du Yongkang’s appointment letter as acting deputy district chief was issued.

When Du Yongkang’s appointment letter came out, Luo Cheng knew that it was not far away that he would become the deputy secretary of the industrial zone. However, before the new district chief came, Luo Cheng still had to take care of his job.

Luo Cheng, in his capacity as district chief, convened a meeting of the senior leadership team in the industrial zone. The content of the meeting was very simple, that is, when he no longer serves as the district mayor, if the new district mayor or secretary has different development ideas and does not develop conservatively, the industrial zone will definitely usher in a new recruitment of workers, but then At this time, the welfare of employees will not be guaranteed every month.

Now there are more than 60,000 employees in the industrial zone. A mouthful of meat for one person, even just one tael, is six thousand kilograms, but now a pig weighs only two hundred and sixty kilograms. After removing the internal organs, bones, etc. from the meat, a weight of 150 kilograms is considered pretty good. In other words, for each worker to eat one mouthful of meat, he would eat forty pigs.

If this continues to develop on a larger scale, the average welfare of employees will inevitably decline. But this has nothing to do with Luo Cheng from now on. From the automobile factory to the large-scale industrial zone today, it can be said that Luo Cheng did not deliberately embarrass anyone. Even the director of the union, Zhou Papi, Luo Cheng just showed some temper at the beginning and went his way in advance, leaving him with no way to go. I won’t have such a petty temper anymore.

Of course, Luo Cheng just no longer holds the position of district mayor. Indeed, he now feels like he is occupying the toilet and does not have time to do anything. He only spends few days in the industry a year. But he still serves as deputy secretary, so if he really encounters something particularly important, it’s okay to speak appropriately.

Therefore, the high-level meeting held by Luo Cheng was mainly to let everyone have an idea. Let District Chief (Deputy) Du announce that he will not serve as District Chief when he goes to Xiangjiang immediately. As for employees’ benefits that may be reduced in the future, it’s enough for everyone to know about it and don’t talk about it below, otherwise chaos may arise below before the new district chief arrives.

Luo Cheng will go to Xiangjiang before the end of the year. Because of the previous drought, Luo Cheng acquired a lot of properties at low prices. Now in Xiangjiang, his assets are developing at an unreasonable speed.

But before going to Xiangjiang, Luo Cheng encountered a happy thing. The district mayor of the industrial zone definitely didn’t decide who would be the mayor so quickly, but that was just a matter of process. The above knew that Luo Cheng also had two younger sisters working in movie theaters owned by the industrial zone, but they were all temporary workers.

Luo Cheng’s younger brother was promoted to full-time through his special cadre status last year and was able to eat commercial grain.

Considering the situation of Luo Cheng’s two sisters, if they work for another year and have Luo Cheng taking care of them, everyone above them knows that becoming a full-time employee is just a matter of ‘let nature take its course’. So the province simply gave him two quotas for his closest relatives. This quota could only be reserved for his parents, brothers and sisters, and his wife and children.

Luo Cheng has no children, and Sissi has a job, so Luo Cheng knows very well what this quota means.

So before Luo Cheng went to Hong Kong again, Xiaoyu and Shishi became official workers. And because when they came to work, they were the first batch of workers. At that time, the repair shop had not become an automobile factory, so they raised chickens, ducks and pigs in the repair shop. He can be considered a veteran employee.

Therefore, once they became regular members, they were no longer responsible for selling and checking tickets. Instead, they took on the role of small ‘leaders’ and were responsible for handling charity screenings. That is to say, it is an office job, but it is not a cadre leader, it is similar to a team leader in a workshop, and the subsidy is two yuan more than that of a regular worker.

Luo Cheng also gave each of them a staff room in the city without any courtesy. Another thing to mention is that Zheng Xue also successfully passed the junior teacher assessment in October this year. I have also become a regular teacher, but the salary of junior teachers is not high. The number of regular workers in the industrial zone is more than 30 yuan at the beginning, while the salary of teachers is only 27.5 yuan.

But Zheng Xue is very satisfied, because after becoming a regular employee, she also has commercial food and can get a house. Now in the courtyard, only Luo Cheng’s cousin Wang Yue is a temporary worker, but there is really nothing we can do about it. Many cadres and leaders have relatives in the countryside. If the cousins ​​in this class can be turned into regular workers so easily, then there is no need to be poor. Relatives.

Although the two younger sisters and Zheng Xue have become full-time employees and have been allocated houses, they cannot receive commercial grain distribution if they don’t have their own houses. This is why many people first start working according to their residence. But after the house was divided, Luo Cheng’s sister and Zheng Xue still wanted to live with everyone, and the wages of Xiao Yu and Shi Shi were now handed over to Qian Qian for safekeeping for them.

As for Zheng Xue, she saved her own money and bought a bicycle. Life is pretty good, but now I miss my old family. They were separated during the famine, and I don’t know how my family is doing. Now that she is officially employed, her employer can issue a certificate and go back to Zhejiang to have a look.

Nowadays, domestic concerns about capitalism are getting tighter. As an educator, Zheng Xue can feel this aspect even more. She went back to Zhejiang City to have a look, but she didn’t dare to reveal her identity. She wanted to go back to her hometown to have a look. If her identity is revealed, she will return to her previous bad situation, and she may even lose her job as a teacher here.

Another year has passed, and there is still no movement in Sissi’s stomach. In fact, Luo Cheng is even more panicked than Sissi. It’s not that I’m eager to have children, but that many time-travel novels in later generations have a mysterious logic.

That’s someone like Luo Cheng, who suddenly went from 2023 to 1960. According to spatial theory, it is impossible for a person in 2023 to have the situation of a child in the 1960s. Because in this case, the son and grandson are older than him, the father.

Luo Cheng had some doubts that this logic might not be true, but his own time travel was different. The world had changed directly for him, and many people he knew had also arrived in this era. For example, Dai Tiande was originally the vice principal of his technical school. According to the theory of the novel, he was not from this era.

Sissi is said to be Dai Tiande’s granddaughter, and she may exist in future generations. Otherwise, there is still an unexplainable point in the theory of the novel, assuming that Sissi is from this era and Luo Cheng is from sixty years later. What is his relationship with Sissi, Rizu?

Although I refuted the conclusion of the novel in my heart, I was really worried about not getting pregnant after two years with Sissi.

But now Luo Cheng has an urgent need to go to Xiangjiang because there are new business opportunities in Xiangjiang. That is, the legitimate businessmen in Xiangjiang want to form a chamber of commerce. The industry that Luo Cheng operates is considered legitimate, and at least the government will not crack down on it. In this case, it will also be good for the stability of the chamber of commerce.

You can’t form a chamber of commerce if something happens to an important member every now and then. And after forming the Chamber of Commerce this time, there is a more important thing to do.

What we need to do has something to do with the currency in Xiangjiang, because the current currency in Xiangjiang has a maximum denomination of ten yuan, and small denominations have a very small denomination, ranging from a few cents. But now Xiangjiang’s economy is not only improving after the drought, but is even taking off. It is inconvenient if the currency is too small.

Therefore, if the Chamber of Commerce can be established normally, some businessmen plan to establish a bank in the form of share investment. Banks here in Hong Kong are almost all privately owned, even the later big banks. However, private banks must be subject to supervision, and you cannot just open a bank and do whatever you want.

Development will be greatly restricted, and when encountering financial risks, losses will also be huge. But now that there is no Internet, banks actually play a small role, and few people choose to open a bank.

But one advantage of a chamber of commerce opening a bank is that it can issue internal currency, such as large denominations, one hundred, five hundred, one thousand. It doesn’t matter if these currencies are not recognized by others outside, as long as members of the chamber of commerce recognize them. At least it will be easier for people like them from the chamber of commerce to do business in the future.

Doing business worth tens of thousands of dollars, but a small stack of money is enough. And until the internal currency circulation is not large, there is no fear of robbery by some gangsters. Because such currency can only be exchanged for normal currency at their bank. The person who robbed them can’t take the money they robbed and go to their bank to exchange it.

Why do we say that the circulation is not large before, because even the internal currency only recognizes money and not people. Although this currency was only issued internally at first, it was inevitable that some businessmen who needed change and were short of money would take this to the bank to change it.

Even when trading, other types of cash are not enough, so I use large amounts to trade in places other than the Chamber of Commerce. But some businessmen know that such currency can indeed be exchanged in some banks, and they will gradually accept small amounts. As a result, it is only a matter of time that the currency issuance increases.

In Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, some large denomination currencies came from this, and they were not official. It is the internal currency of private banks, but as long as someone recognizes your currency, it doesn’t matter whether it is a formal official currency or a privately issued currency.
