In mid-July, the much-talked-about essay contest came to an end. A total of 48 manuscripts were selected, and "From Practice for Practice" won the first place in the essay. The county revolutionary committee and the propaganda department fulfilled their promises, and all the authors of the selected articles were awarded award certificates and prizes, and all of them were seconded to the propaganda department. Two articles by his brother-in-law Ruan Chenglin were not listed as selected articles because they had already been published in the newspaper, but Yan Yucheng specially approved and seconded Ruan Chenglin to Hongqi Commune as a propaganda officer. This did not cause much criticism. In any case, the articles of the provincial newspaper and the "Baozhou Daily" are there, and it is difficult for others to put them on the table even if they have opinions.

Liu Jincai then took Jiang Youxin, and together with Mr. Zhou, took all the selected articles and went to the provincial capital in person. found Mr. Zhou's old colleague Zhao Liangzhong, who was an editor in the provincial newspaper.

Zhao Liangzhong was very excited when he saw the thick stack of manuscripts, and immediately introduced Liu Jincai to Chang Huaiyi, deputy editor-in-chief. Naturally, Mr. Zhou didn't go with him, after all, he was still wearing a hat. Chang Huaiyi was originally just in the way of Zhao Liangzhong's face, so he entertained. The deputy director from a poor and remote place like Xiangyang County is not in the eyes of the deputy editor-in-chief of the provincial newspaper. But after a brief look at the manuscript brought by Liu Jincai, I was a little moved, calmed down and listened carefully to Liu Jincai's plan, my eyes lit up, and I agreed to publish a series in the provincial newspaper, one in each issue, and the weighty theoretical surname article was marked with "editor's note".

The trip to the provincial capital was very fruitful.

Liu Jincai returned to Xiangyang County and reported to Yan Yucheng. Yan Yucheng was also very excited, and on the same day that the provincial newspapers and periodicals published "From Practice for Practice," a plenary meeting of the county revolutionary committee was held, which was attended by all 47 members of the county revolutionary committee.

The provincial newspaper wants to publish a special column series for Xiangyang County.

This incident gave a great shock and surprise to the members attending the meeting.

Honorable! Xiangyang County has been established for 25 years, and there has never been such a time in history. Not to mention the fifteen prefectures and cities in N Province, the Baozhou area is not conspicuous, even in the seven counties of one city under the jurisdiction of the Baozhou region, Xiangyang County is not top-notch. The land is barren and the people are poor, the products are not abundant, and the total output value of industry and agriculture ranks at the bottom of the bottom three all year round. Other work is also in the same direction, no achievements, don't look at Wang Benqing's majesty in Xiangyang County, when he goes to the area for a meeting, but his duty is tight. Not only is he respectful in front of regional leaders, but he is also modest in front of leading cadres at the same level such as Qing'an County and Weining County in Baozhou City.

There's no way, I can't get decent political achievements, and I can't stiffen my waist.

Yan Yucheng made such a big move as soon as he came up, which made people have to admire. No wonder he dares to go against Wang Benqing, he is really capable. When the deputy directors and members of the county revolutionary committee looked at Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai, they had a lot of awe and admiration.

Naturally, Yan Yucheng convened this plenary meeting not to show off, but to take advantage of the strong support of the provincial newspaper to unify thinking, make unified arrangements, and carry out a unified action of "big propaganda and big discussion" in the whole county.

Liu Jincai, first deputy director of the county revolutionary committee and director of the propaganda department, presided over the meeting. The plan for the unification of action to be taken by the county revolutionary committee was announced.

"Comrade Jincai has already announced the deployment plan of the county revolutionary committee, please express your opinions."

Yan Yucheng held the teacup in both hands and said slowly.

"I'll say a few words."

Yan Yucheng's eyes glanced over, it was Tang Haitian. Unexpectedly, he was the first to take the initiative to speak. Bowed slightly, showing a slight smile.

"Comrades, this is a great joy, a great thing!"

Tang Haitian looked a little excited.

Liu Jincai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Historically, the first deputy director of the county revolutionary committee has been appointed by the region. Only this time, the region did not do this. Yan Yucheng stubbornly listed Liu Jincai as the first, surpassing other deputy directors with old qualifications, in fact, he was suspected of some trespassing. Fortunately, after reporting to the local Revolutionary Committee, it was not rejected, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence. But acquiescence is not the same as formal appointment, the local Revolutionary Committee can turn around at any time and deny it, Liu Jincai, the "number one" after all, is a bit unjustifiable. Especially surpassing Tang Haitian, it made Liu Jincai even more uneasy. It must be known that Wang Benqing is so domineering, and he has never asked Cui Xiuhe to cross Tang Haitian.

“…… Comrades, they all say that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. The political propaganda work is very important, and the provincial newspaper has given us so much support this time, so we should seize this opportunity and fight the tough battle of this 'big propaganda and big discussion' under the correct leadership of Director Yan and Director Liu......

When Tang Haitian spoke, he didn't squint, and he never glanced at Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai. But the words are clear. As the oldest and second-ranked deputy director of the county revolutionary committee, Tang Haitian undoubtedly set the tone for the entire meeting, and also clearly said that he accepted Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai's latest power combination, and will put himself in a correct position in his future work.

Liu Jincai couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Tang Haitian.

The other deputy directors were so clever, seeing that Tang Haitian had officially changed his banner, they naturally spoke one after another to express their full support. In less than two hours, the plenary meeting of the county revolutionary committee was successfully concluded. When everyone walked out of the venue, they were full of red faces, full of confidence, and they were full of energy to do a big job. This is Director Yan's first big move after Director Liu took office, and no one wants to be left behind.

As soon as Yan Yucheng returned to the office, the red confidential phone rang. Usually the people who call this confidential phone are the superiors. Yan Yucheng grabbed the phone before he had time to drink saliva.

"Comrade Yucheng, I'm Long Tiejun......"

"Hello, Director Long. What are the indications? ”

"Hehe, instructions can't be discussed. You're doing a great job this time. Just now, Team Leader Qian Jianjun spoke to me on the phone, and he is also very supportive of this matter, and will report to the leaders of the Central Propaganda Department......"

"Thank you, Director Long. This is all under the correct leadership of you and the Local Revolutionary Committee......"

In fact, before Liu Jincai went to the provincial capital, Yan Yucheng made a special report to Long Tiejun on this matter. As for Qian Jianjun, it was Liu Jincai who called. Such a big move cannot be hidden from the superior leaders to cut first and then play.

After saying a few words of encouragement, Long Tiejun suddenly changed his tone and said, "Comrade Yucheng, have you reported this matter to Comrade Pei Ming in advance?" ”

Yan Yucheng was shocked, but this was negligence.

"I'm sorry, Director Long. I was negligent in this matter and did not report it to Director Pei Ming in time, and I will review it for you......"

Zhou Peiming is the first deputy director of the Local Revolutionary Committee and Wang Benqing's big backer. There really shouldn't be such an oversight.

"The review doesn't have to be, it's not that serious. In the future, we should talk to Comrade Peiming for important work. Comrade Pei Ming has rich experience and is a very high-level leading cadre, so I can point out to you the shortcomings in your work. ”

"Yes, Director Long, you are right in your criticism, we will definitely pay attention to it in the future and report to Director Peiming for instructions."

"Hehe, that's good. Comrade Yucheng, tell Comrade Liu Jincai to do a good ......job."

Yan Yucheng put down the phone, pondered for a while, grabbed the phone and dialed Zhou Peiming.

"Who?"

Zhou Peiming's somewhat gloomy voice came from the phone.

"Hello, Director Zhou, I'm Yan Yucheng."

"Oh, Comrade Yucheng, hello."

Zhou Peiming's voice was still gloomy.

"Director Zhou, I have something to report to you. Our county has held an essay contest on political propaganda work...... Ah, you know that...... Yes, we have received strong support from the provincial newspaper this time, and the provincial newspaper is ready to open a column series for us......"

"Hehe, Comrade Yucheng, this is a good thing, it shows that your political propaganda work in Xiangyang County has been recognized by the provincial newspaper, which is very good......"

Zhou Peiming played an official tone, still lukewarm.

"Director Zhou, originally we were going to report to you in advance, but we were afraid that people would not agree to the provincial report, so we didn't dare to report first......"

"It doesn't matter Comrade Yucheng, the regional division of labor, I am not in charge of propaganda work. You just need to report to Director Long and Director Zhong. ”

Director Zhong refers to Zhong Xuewei, deputy director of the local Revolutionary Committee in charge of propaganda work.

"Yes, yes, you are the main leader of the Local Revolutionary Committee, and it is natural that we should report to you at any time on our work."

was negligent first, and those who were as rebellious as Yan Yucheng had to lower their posture.

"Hehe, Comrade Yucheng is too polite. They are all engaged in revolutionary work, so why do they ...... each other Since this provincial newspaper attaches so much importance to it, you and Comrade Jincai must conscientiously grasp this propaganda work and strive to achieve good and great results! ”

Zhou Peiming's voice changed a little.

"Yes, yes, we will definitely follow Director Zhou's instructions, conscientiously grasp this work, and live up to the expectations of Director Zhou and the Local Revolutionary Committee...... Uh-huh, okay, Director Zhou, goodbye! ”

Putting down the phone, Yan Yucheng exhaled a long breath in his chest, slightly tired.

It seems that there is such a thing as hypocrisy and wrongdoing, and people who don't often do it are quite tired to do it once in a while.

……

The county has rolled out a big move, and basically Liu Jun can't get involved. You can't follow my dad around the communes. Even if Liu Jin has that meaning, Liu Jun is not that interested. The conditions in the countryside are too poor, and Liu Jun is reluctant to accompany his father to bask in the sun during the day and feed mosquitoes at night. However, Jiang Youxin, the "top champion" of this essay, became Liu Jincai's full-time secretary. According to the regulations, cadres at the county and department level are not qualified to be appointed full-time secretaries. But the rules are the rules, and in practice they should be how to do it. It's just not in that name. Generally speaking, except for the secretary of the director of the county revolutionary committee, who is selected by the office, the other deputy directors in charge usually choose the young officers of their own departments to be their secretaries. Liu Jincai is the first deputy director and propaganda minister, and it is normal for the secretary of the office to accompany him.

Jiang Youxin has great admiration for Liu Jincai, a senior senior, and he has the grace of knowing and working very hard. People are young and industrious. is very different from the eldest brother-in-law who was not diligent in his previous life. It's just that now that the status of the two families is very different, it is unknown whether he can become Liu Hua's lover again.

Well, as long as he is Yoo Jinjae's full-time secretary and often comes to the house, Yoo Jun can always find an opportunity to match them.

The business of the "Limin Service Department" is becoming more and more prosperous. assembled three second-hand TVs, and sold them all in less than ten days, each earning a net of 200 yuan, deducting the cost of Liu Jun assembling the one for his own home, and distributing more than 200 yuan in his hand. Fang Wenti originally insisted on sharing it equally with Liu Jun, just as the TV set was filial to "Director Liu". Yoo Jun was reluctant to do such a thing.

The most important thing in a partnership is to keep clear accounts. Everyone is so mixed together without distinguishing from each other, they are close but close, and when they turn their faces when they are facing the scene, they are inexplicably troublesome.

Fang Wenti is also sincere, and he is never sloppy in his accounts. It's about to be confused with Yoo Jun. It's not because it's different after the second brother Liu Zhaomin came.

This matter, since the decision to get Fang Wenti to the county seat, Liu Jun has been thinking about it carefully. Although the traverser has the advantage of foresight, he has no experience in business in his previous life, let alone partnered with others to do business, he is basically a business idiot, and all knowledge about business is indirect. It seems inevitable that this life will involve this area. Therefore, Liu Jun attaches great importance to this small maintenance department. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Fiddling with the business experience of the maintenance department is not a kind of accumulation of experience. If something really goes wrong, such a small scene can be remedied.

What Liu Jun has to do is to use the advantage of foresight to make up for the lack of experience.

"Brother Fang, I think I still need to buy a few more sets of TV cases and other accessories."

Liu Jun said to Fang Wenti.

The number of TVs in Xiangyang County is too small, and waste recycling alone cannot be a big deal. Liu Jun thought about it, and Suo bought the main spare parts to assemble the TV by himself. The structure of a black-and-white TV is relatively simple, and many of the components can be used in common with those of a cassette recorder and radio. Just buy the main components such as the casing, picture tube, and high-voltage package. At that time, the high price of TVs was mainly due to the high cost of raw materials, but the high cost of labor and circulation. Imagine a factory with more retirees than incumbents, and more support staff than front-line workers, how can the manufacturing cost be low? As for the logistics system in 1978, it was almost a blank slate. In the absence of effective overall arrangement, it is natural that the circulation cost is high.

I remember reading in an article in my last life that in the early 90s, a southern coastal city formed a loose consortium in the form of a family workshop to assemble motorcycles, and the production cost was more than 30 percent lower than that of a large state-owned factory of the previous scale.

"Okay, I'll go to the post office to go through the formalities."

Fang Wenti has become more and more accustomed to unconditional support for any decision made by Yoo Jun. Seeing Fang Wenti, who was dragging a stump leg and struggling to walk towards the post office, Liu Jun asked himself in his heart if he was too capitalist? However, Fang Wenti himself must not think so, this kid is now much more energetic than a person with sound limbs.

But things just didn't go as planned.

Fang Wenti soon returned from the post office, his face full of gloom.

"Xiaojun, Shanghai said that we need to send a letter of introduction from the competent unit before we can deliver the goods, and the same is true in Tianjin. Fuck, you can't buy anything with money! ”

Fang Wenti took a sip hatefully.

It turns out that this is the case, blaming myself for being too radical. The so-called "maintenance service department" in a small county town has consumed two sets of TV accessories (two sets each in Shanghai and Tianjin) within half a month, and it is no wonder that people are suspicious of them again.

You have to find a regular unit to attach to.

Yes, attached!

This concept should not actually appear now, and under normal circumstances, it will take a few years.

Liu Jun comforted Fang Wenti: "It's okay, I'll figure it out." ”

Fang Wenti nodded. He believed that Yoo Joon would have a way.

Before I could think about the attachment, another trouble followed.

Someone from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came to the door.;
