Lao Qian said: "County Magistrate, I heard that the county is experiencing financial difficulties this month, and I'm afraid wages will be delayed."

Li Yuanlang felt nervous after hearing this. He knew that Daiding County was in financial difficulty.

But because there was no money to cover such a big matter as salary, Lu Dingfang, the executive deputy county magistrate in charge of finance, did not report to him. This is an interesting thing.

"Who did you listen to?" Li Yuanlang asked with raised eyebrows.

Lao Qian replied: "Everyone spreads it like this, and it has both nose and eyes."

This is not a trivial matter, it concerns the vital interests of thousands of people across the county.

If not handled properly, it can easily cause big troubles.

After all, there are many families who rely solely on wages to survive. Delaying the payment of wages will affect the daily life of the family and bring negative consequences to the work.

Li Yuanlang told Wang Zhongqiu: "Call Deputy County Magistrate Lu and Shang Yonghai from the Finance Bureau and ask them to come to my office immediately."

"Yes, County Magistrate." Wang Zhongqiu took out his work mobile phone and contacted Lu Dingfang first.

At this time, Lu Dingfang was fighting at the mahjong table. His luck was so good today that Xing Dong was so defeated that he dropped his head.

Lu Dingfang knew that Li Yuanlang went to Yunshui City and was having a hard time at work in the afternoon, so he took the initiative to call Xing Dong to chat.

When these two people are together, the topic of conversation can never be separated from Mahjong.

Naturally, my hands all became itchy, so they hit it off and soon sat in front of the mahjong table in Feng Man's private club.

They are still an unbeatable foursome.

Feng Man and his vice president, as well as Xing Dong and Lu Dingfang.

There was nothing to say. According to the old rules, the four of them quickly entered a fighting state.

After Lu Dingfang's first trick, he got out of control and played less than seven rounds, while Xing Dong only made three tricks.

On the other hand, Vice President Feng Man and Vice President Feng Man were all playing tricks. With their dedicated spirit of not messing around even if they had cards, they were able to make Lu Dingfang smile this time.

He glanced at Xing Dong from his previous family, puffed out smoke rings and joked: "Deputy County Xing, do whatever you want, don't be merciful, otherwise you will suffer."

Xing Dong said angrily: "Don't take advantage of me and act like a good boy. Let me tell you, I've already listened to this trick, and it still screams three times. I'm embarrassed even if I don't touch myself."

Lu Dingfang slapped his racquet on the table and said, "I heard it too, but it's a bad call. It's a card. Let me take a look at your cards."

While speaking, Lu Dingfang tilted his body and caught a glimpse of the mahjong tiles in Xing Dong's hand.

This one, Xing Donghu has 258, he is very proud of himself.

After Lu Dingfang read it, he shrugged and said, "What you're doing is cutting me off. I have to touch it myself."

Feng Man and the vice president looked at each other, understood immediately, and adopted a strategy of splitting the cards, playing whatever happened.

Unfortunately, the cards they played were either Wanzi or pancakes, and even the notes were not played correctly. If Xing Dong didn't play tricks, Lu Dingfang naturally couldn't play tricks either.

After drawing two rounds of cards like this, Xing Dong was disappointed every time he looked at it. There were only three cards he wanted, so why couldn't he get one in his hand?

So he kept rubbing his hands on the card table to boost his luck.

Just after he drew another 10,000 card, he threw the card out unluckily and muttered: "Did all the cards go to the back? Why can't I touch it?"

Lu Dingfang chuckled: "You just have dry stools because the toilet board is too thick. Look at me."

As he spoke, Lu Dingfang rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a card and rubbed it, then his smile became even brighter, he slapped it on the table with a "pop" sound, and shouted excitedly: "I touched two cards, it's a card!"

After that, I pushed the cards, and the whole deck of cards was revealed. There was indeed no mistake, and there were two cards.

Xing Dong was so angry that his nose was crooked. Damn it, you wouldn't be such a bully.

I cut off his beard all the time, but in the end, I let Lu Dingfang do it. It was still a card, and another two thousand yuan was exported at once. Is there any justice?

Xing Dong turned over the notes in front of him, threw them directly to Lu Dingfang, and said unconvinced: "Take it and lose it."

"Lao Xing, your attitude is not good. You have to pay money quickly and smile, so that you can increase your luck."

"What attitude do you have? Look at me. There are only a few pictures left for 30,000 yuan. I don't have a smile. I'm just crying."

As soon as Xing Dong said this, Vice President Feng Manchong winked.

The deputy general manager understood what was going on and took out three bundles of large banknotes from his bag and placed them in front of Xing Dong, "Mr. Xing, take these 30,000 yuan first."

Xing Dong touched it as usual and said: "Remember how much I borrowed from you, and I will return it to you later."

"Okay, I'll remember it," the vice president responded with a smile.

Lu Dingfang curled his lips. Xing Dong said he would pay back the money. When did he pay back the money?

Everyone knows it well and doesn't want to expose it.

At this point, Lu Dingfang does better than Xing Dong. He rarely borrows money from Feng Man to play cards. Even if he loses, he doesn't ask for Feng Man's support. At worst, he just loses everything and doesn't play.

When dealing with these businessmen, try to reach out as little as possible.

A businessman seeks profit from his capital, and he will get back from you double the benefit you receive from him.

You are not his father, he will never spend money on you in vain.

Soon, eight rounds of cards were played, and according to the old rules, the four of them had to take a break, drink some tea and eat something, and recuperate before continuing the second half.

But at this moment, Lu Dingfang received a call from Wang Zhongqiu, asking him to rush to the office of Li Yuanlang, the county government immediately. The county magistrate wanted to see him if he had anything to do.

Lu Dingfang frowned and asked, "What does County Magistrate Li want from me?"

"It seems to be about financial issues." Wang Zhongqiu didn't tell much, but gave a general outline.

"Can't we talk about something tomorrow?" Lu Dingfang raised his eyes and looked out the window. It was getting dark and it was almost time to get off work.

Wang Zhongqiu didn't say anything. He was only responsible for informing. As for whether Lu Dingfang would come or not, it was not in his hands and he could not make the decision.

"Okay, tell County Magistrate Li that I am outside, and there is probably another..." Lu Dingfang deliberately prolonged his voice, looked at his watch and said, "It will take another 40 to 50 minutes to get back, County Magistrate Li wants to wait.

If so, just wait.”

After Wang Zhongqiu reported Lu Dingfang's original words to Li Yuanlang, Li Yuanlang snorted: "Ignore him, what did Shang Yonghai say?"

"He'll be here soon. He's probably here soon."

While waiting, Li Yuanlang happened to look at the documents sent to him by Wang Zhongqiu.

Among them is the plan for jointly operating a branch factory between Guang'an Town Government and Yunshui Daqu Distillery. The content is basically the same as what Li Yuanlang said.

The Guang'an Town Government and the winery each hold half of the shares, and approximately 200 workers need to be recruited in the early stage, which is equivalent to creating jobs for 200 people in Guang'an Town.

However, Guang'an Town proposed that they would like to apply for 500,000 yuan from the county finance department as their investment capital.

Li Yuanlang didn't agree with this. Guang'an Town really opened its mouth. A town costs 500,000 yuan. What do you want other towns to think?

If it is given, the county finance itself will have no money, and it is off to a bad start. If this happens, other towns and villages will rush in and ask for money from the county finance. What should we do?

Don't favor one over the other. A bowl of water must be balanced.

If you don't give it, you will be accused of not supporting Guang'an Town's economic development.

Li Yuanlang thought for a while and immediately called Quan Laifeng. He clearly told Quan Laifeng on the phone that they should raise funds by themselves. If they had no money, they could apply for a loan from a credit union.

"Loan?" Quan Laifeng had an accident. He thought Li Yuanlang would agree without hesitation, but he never expected this result.

"Yes, loan." Li Yuanlang's attitude was very firm, "The winery has a good reputation. Guang'an Town, yours, will definitely make a profit from this cooperation. The loan can solve the urgent need, and it is also your motivation."

"But... County Magistrate Li, the county government must give us some support. Five hundred thousand is not enough, but three hundred thousand is fine."

"Secretary Quan, you first need to understand that the county finance is not a cash cow and cannot generate money. I will give you ideas and policies. You don't want to become a giant baby who can't take care of himself. You need the county to help you with everything.

Learn to think independently and learn to be flexible.”

Quan Laifeng tried to figure out the meaning of Li Yuanlang's words. Until Li Yuanlang hung up the phone, he still held up the receiver and pondered.

Li Yuanlang sighed, as long as these old ideas in Daiding County are not eradicated, Daiding County will be just dreaming if it wants to develop in an all-round way.

There was a knock on the door, and Shang Yonghai followed Wang Zhongqiu and walked in with a bow and a nod.

"Sit down, Director Shang." Li Yuanlang pointed to the chair opposite.

Without any courtesy, he went straight to the point and asked: "How big a gap does our county finance have in terms of salary this month?"
