Chapter 1277 Chinese New Year
"Come, look here. Yes, look into the distance."

Song Yunping stood on the road, smiling at Wang Yan who was not far away, letting Wang Yan take pictures with his camera.

"Wouldn't this be bad?" She said this after Wang Yan finished taking the photo.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I bought it to keep records. The factory has to keep records, so shouldn't our county keep records too?" Wang Yan said with a smile, "I've taken a lot of photos of the factory employees recently, and they're all very happy. Besides, I'm the deputy factory director, and I'm making a lot of money with everyone. Who would want to make things difficult for me? I don't even have to say anything, the factory employees will come to my door and knock on my door."

Song Yunping nodded in approval: "That's true. I heard about it in Hongwei Town. Now many people are using their connections to get their children to work in textile factories. By the way, I have to thank you for my second aunt's family matters as well."

"You can't thank me for this." Wang Yan waved his hand, "Don't worry, the children of the factory workers all work in the factory, so their families have a share of it."

"You are amazing. You have only been back for such a short time, but you have already led everyone to live a good life." Song Yunping smiled, "I also wrote to Xiaohui about this matter, and he also thinks you have great ideas. He also told me that he went to his textile factory to learn more about it, and said that the leaders there particularly praised your machines. They even paid for it, but the delivery will have to wait until after the New Year."

"As for Anyun No. 1 Textile Factory, I know they ordered 15 units. They are from our province and were one of the first places we went to. It's already early, and the orders are already scheduled until September next year."

"You know everything?"

"I'm in charge of it, how could I not know?" Wang Yan shook his head with a smile, "But at present we are still studying how to modify the production equipment and increase the manpower bit by bit. The production speed is getting faster and faster, and the actual delivery time should be able to be advanced a lot. Let's not talk about this anymore. How are you reviewing?"

"I'm reviewing according to the outline you gave me. Everything else is fine, except my English."

"Then let's not come to the county town next week. I'll go to your house and tell you about it. There's still half a year left, so it's totally in time."

Song Yunping nodded, was silent for a moment, and asked, "It's already the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is just over 20 days away. What are your plans?"

"I'm all alone, and now I finally have a wife, so I'm definitely going to her house."

"Who is your wife? Don't talk nonsense." Song Yunping blushed again. Although she was already used to it, she still couldn't bear such a direct address.

"It's only a matter of time." Wang Yan smiled, picked up the camera and quickly captured it, capturing her shyness.

After chatting for a while, Song Yunping said, "I want to go see Xiaohui after the New Year. He has been gone for a year, and he must only report good news, not bad news. I want to see how he is doing, otherwise my family will be worried."

"Okay, then let's go on the seventh day of the New Year. We'll arrange work at the factory and leave at the beginning of the year. I'll go buy train tickets tomorrow, and then we can take the sleeper and arrive comfortably."

"Then I'll give you the money next week."

"Look at you, you're always talking about money, money, money. Do you have a problem with me and don't want to marry me?"

"I do not……"

"That's it, why are you talking so much? What's mine is yours. I don't spend money except for smoking." Wang Yan said secretly, as if he was talking about something. "And I'm telling you, I've also improved the treatment of the employees in our factory a lot. They must have meat every day, and a meat dish every three days. Then I also opened a special kitchen for the leaders of our factory, and they have meat at noon every day."

"Aren't you abusing your power for personal gain? That's not good..."

"If I eat alone, that's abuse of power for personal gain. I let all the leading cadres eat together, that's taking care of the old comrades. And it's not just us who eat. The factory has a system that those who work well, make great contributions to the factory, and have excellent night school exam results all eat separately.

There are dozens of people every day. So it's not a special meal, right? It's a preferential meal. It can also improve everyone's enthusiasm. The employees in the factory are full of energy now."

"I don't understand factory affairs, and I don't know how to manage people, but you must be careful. If you really encounter someone who takes things too far, you'll get into trouble."

"Don't worry, I know everything." Wang Yan nodded, then said with a smile, "Are you worried about me?"

Song Yunping said nothing and just walked forward.

Wang Yan took another photo of her back, then caught up with her, chatting and laughing as they walked away.

Along the way, many people still greeted him, and now people looked at him with even more respect, because in addition to his ability to beat people and teach them to read, he also had the ability to lead everyone to a good life.

In the past two months, the textile factory has undergone tremendous changes. It is now doing better than the steel factory. All the children of the employees have joined the factory. Every day, a large number of outsiders come to inspect the factory, and leaders from the city and province have come several times.

And all of this was brought by Wang Yan.

Most importantly, they all heard that the textile factory would continue to recruit people in the future. Some of them even heard that their relatives who worked in the textile factory had been recruited by the factory. They were not on the payroll, but enjoyed the treatment of formal employees.

You know, the treatment of textile factory workers is already the best in the county.

So people looked at Wang Yan eagerly, thinking that he might be their leader in the future, and they also wanted Wang Yan to be their leader...

The prominence that Jinling County has shown is, after all, just a corner of the vast China, and its influence only covers Anhui Province and several surrounding provinces. There are many orders, but not to the point of explosion. Its influence in the country is ultimately limited.

At the same time, it also decided to liberate people's minds, develop the economy, and vigorously carry out the construction of the four modernizations.

There is no doubt that, as we all know, this is a world-changing event.

In January, after layers of understanding and communication, it was finally implemented at the county level.

First, the county committee held a meeting to understand and comprehend the spirit, and then held an enlarged meeting to convey the spirit. Then, various leaders held meetings for the areas under their charge, conveyed the spirit, clarified instructions, and assigned tasks.

Wang Yan was at this level. This time, he issued instructions on economic development. As the leaders of the county enterprises, they naturally had to implement them. Especially before the New Year, there were various summary meetings. All these led to Wang Yan having meetings every day during this period.

First, he held a county-wide meeting, then a small meeting organized by the county head, then a meeting organized by the industrial and commercial department, and then a small meeting organized by the industrial and commercial leaders. After he understood the spirit, he went back to the factory to implement it. He first held a meeting for the factory leaders, then a meeting for all employees, and finally a small meeting for the team leaders and small leaders in the factory to convey the clear spirit.

This series of meetings seemed to have nothing to do with the vast majority of the people in the county. Although meetings had also been held for the communes and brigades below, people actually did not understand these things and did not know what to do. Therefore, the safest way was to maintain the status quo.

So at the bottom, there is actually no change. This is a relatively long process that takes a relatively long time.

Wang Yan understands this very well, and understands the people's ideas and the grassroots cadres' ideas. He doesn't have any ideas, he just does his own thing...

After all the meetings, it’s the end of the year.

On this day, the workers in the textile factory were excited because the factory had distributed New Year's goods.

Early in the morning, in the cafeteria, people eat breakfast and take it away. The speed at which people eat has obviously increased.

"Don't rush! Line up! Everyone will get one, based on the number of hair." The person in charge of distributing New Year's goods shouted loudly.

Some people hadn't even eaten yet. They first received a portion of food and then went to get their meal.

The breakfast is better now than before, with white flour steamed buns, but only one per person. There are also two more pickles, although they are still as salty.

The man got his breakfast and returned to where he was sitting. He said unhappily, "Go, don't ruin it. You can just take it yourself. Why do you have to come to me to look for it?"

The man laughed: "There are too many people. I'll go after I finish my meal. What's available?"

"Didn't you read it all?"

"You came back just as I turned it over. I just wanted to see this bag of apples."

"Five catties of rice, three catties of flour, two catties of hairtail, one catty of pork, half a catty of rock sugar, and a bag of apples." "It's a college student who has to be the factory director. Look at him. He's so generous."

Someone at the side interrupted and said, "Do you think it's enough to just call a college student over? Our Director Wang has to be awesome. I've never been subservient to anyone in my life, except our Director. It's only been three months, and our lives have improved so quickly. Which college student can do this?"

Then everyone started praising Director Wang again, happily watching the people lining up to receive New Year's goods...

"Wang Yan, you've been paid too much," the old factory manager said earnestly. "It's not easy to have a little money, you can't spend it like this. You said that your usual salary has been improved quite a lot, and you have three dishes to eat in the morning. You have to know that firewood and rice are expensive, as the head of the household."

Wang Yan ate his meal with big mouthfuls. They didn't have their own breakfast. They all ate together. They only had two white flour buns. There was nothing special about them. Similarly, those who could enjoy two white flour buns were also those outstanding people that Wang Yan and Song Yunping had mentioned before.

He said with a smile: "Old factory director, we have distributed so many things to everyone, and we can sell two machines. But everyone's spirit is different, and their cohesion and enthusiasm when working are also different. We must fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all employees, and we must endure hardships, but we cannot endure hardships all the time.

After all, why do we build socialism? It is to eliminate poverty and to make everyone live a good life. Look at the smiles on everyone's faces, the money is well spent. The more we earn, the better the things we give out, and everyone will have more confidence in our textile factory as a big family. "

"You've already said that they're taking advantage of our slow communication with foreign countries to make money. When foreigners realize what's going on, they'll definitely supply us at a low price. What are we going to do then? Wang Yan, we have 800 people in our factory right now."

"Judgment is judgment, and actual execution is actual execution. How fast do you think they can produce? We have textile factories all over the country, and they can't supply all of them. This is a continuous process, not a direct cutoff of our livelihood. Moreover, I can study the existing machines, and I can lead people to improve and upgrade them. In a few years, foreigners' technology will be inferior to ours."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "What do we have to fear then? Labor costs abroad are higher than ours, and freight is not low either, so we definitely have an advantage. It may not be easy to sell abroad, but just doing business in China is enough for us to be rich forever. So, old factory director, just relax, I know everything. Even if things get worse, how bad can they get? The worst that can happen is that we will just go back to the way we were before.

And now the country wants to develop the economy and is willing to reform. I think we can take some big steps, such as what I told you before, we can directly merge the shoe and clothing factory to expand the business. "

"It sounds good, but where can we sell them? Not everyone in the county can afford ready-made clothes, but we have to support more than 300 people in the shoe and clothing factory."

"Guangdong Province is engaged in exports, so we can send people to investigate first to see how they are doing, and then we can make a decision."

Director Qi frowned and said nothing, lost in thought.

Wang Yan said, "Well, after the New Year, we will call the leaders of the shoe and clothing factory, go to the county and call the county magistrate and the industrial and commercial officials, and we will hold a meeting together to brainstorm and discuss the matter."

"We are following the county magistrate, he will definitely support us. But the shoe and clothing factory will definitely not agree."

"You are wrong, old factory director. It is the leaders of the shoe and clothing factory who don't want to work, not the employees. Now, who in the whole county doesn't want to come to our textile factory?"

"Secretary Gong has some opinions about us..."

"He won't move. He has made contributions to our development and progress. If he wants to sabotage us, he should go. Our county chief has the means. With our momentum, he has conquered many cities and territories in the past few months and has a lot of say."

Wang Yan waved his hand, "It's settled for now, we'll discuss it in detail at the beginning of the year. But I think you're the best person to lead our team. You're an old comrade, experienced, and mature. When the time comes, go over there with the leaders of the garment factory and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. We'll cover the entire trip, so you can eat, drink, and have fun."

"You sent me away, kid. Are you planning to do something bad?" Factory Director Qi looked suspicious and distrustful.

"Am I that kind of person?" Wang Yan shook his head with amusement. "I have to go out after the New Year. I will go to Anyun's place with my partner to see his brother. It will take a week to go there and back."

"Then you go first, and I'll leave when you come back. Anyway, there's no rush. It's not easy for us to be in this situation now. If we both leave and the factory is sabotaged, it will be a loss."

The old factory manager has a strong sense of responsibility and will never let others reap the benefits.

Seeing Wang Yan nod, he smiled and asked, "The New Year is the day after tomorrow, do you have anywhere to go?"

"Why ask? Of course I'm going to my partner's house."

"Let's settle it sooner rather than later. If you're not sure, I'll go over after the New Year."

"Do you still think I'm a child? I've never said anything bad."

"Anyway, you take care of it yourself."

Just like that, the two chatted casually. The employees over there were still very excited, full of hope for the future, and were already talking about what they would release next year...

By the time news of what the textile factory had distributed as New Year goods spread throughout the county like the wind, it was already the end of the year.

This day is New Year’s Eve.

When Wang Yan got up in the morning, he found that it was snowing lightly outside.

He went out for a daily jog, looked at the county town, and even took some photos with his camera. After that, he returned home, washed up, made a simple breakfast, and ate it in a hurry.

After breakfast, he was busy cleaning the house, sweeping the floor, wiping the cabinets and so on. It was after nine o'clock before he packed up the New Year's goods distributed by the factory and loaded them onto his motorcycle.

New Year's gifts are still preferential to the leaders. During this period of time, Wang Yan has already understood many people in the factory. They have some small thoughts, but generally speaking, they are still conscientious and capable of doing things.

The factory is now in a period of extremely rapid explosive growth. When we are struggling, we are still working together. It is not yet the stage of resting on our laurels and waiting for death. It is not yet the stage of destroying the collective and feeling at ease. They are all working hard.

So Wang Yan also treated them well.

In addition to the things given to ordinary employees, more than 40 people who were middle-level leaders and above were given an extra pork elbow, a piece of lard, a chicken, a box of oranges, a box of biscuits, a pack of cigarettes, and two bottles of wine.

Wang Yan couldn’t keep any of it for himself, and couldn’t eat it, so he loaded it all into the car and took it to Old Song’s house.

Song Yunping was sweeping the front door of her house with a broom. When she saw Wang Yan coming on a motorcycle from afar, she placed the broom against the wall and waited for Wang Yan to come over.

"It's snowing, and you're still riding a motorcycle."

"It's safer than a bicycle. A bicycle has two wheels, but this motorcycle has three." Wang Yan smiled and said, "Come on, give me a hand."

As he spoke, he turned off the engine and got out of the car, handed some light items to Song Yunping, and took the remaining pile of things himself.

At this time, Song Yunping's parents also came out.

Song's mother said, "How much have you brought? You took so much. You should be frugal with your money. How can you live well? His father, come and give him a hand."

Wang Yan had no choice but to put down the things he had already taken and share some with the old couple. He said, "These are New Year's goods distributed by the factory. Our factory has been doing well this year and has made a lot of money. The standard of New Year's goods has been raised so that everyone can have a good New Year. I basically don't eat at home, so how can I use these? It's better to take them and eat them quickly to avoid them going bad and wasting good things."

He went into the yard with the three members of the Song family and started busying himself with cooking.

Wang Yan had come here many times. Every Sunday, he would come to pick up Song Yunping to go to the county town and send her back in the evening. He had eaten several meals here before and had a lot of exchanges with Song's father and mother.

Coupled with his excellent communication skills, everyone gets along very naturally, and Song's father and mother already regard him as a potential son-in-law.

Wang Yan was not shy. After packing up, he did not ask the Song family for help. He personally cooked with a big spoon. The aroma alone was enough to amaze the three members of the Song family.

Only then did they realize that Wang Yan not only knew how to cook, but the dishes he made were also delicious...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
