The village chief's surname is Ma, and the village party secretary's surname is Liu. They are both very old, with gray hair and wrinkles on their faces.
Village Chief Ma said: "Along, you are young and promising, knowledgeable and educated. Our village needs talents like you very much to lead everyone to prosperity. Why don't you become the village chief? I will give this position to you."
Party Secretary Liu immediately said: "Along, I will also give you the position of Party Secretary."
Chen Long shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, Village Chief Ma, Secretary Liu, don't be joking. I'm used to being free and loose. I'm not the material to be an official."
Village Chief Ma said: "Along, I'm not kidding you, I'm very serious, I really don't want to be the village chief anymore.
I have been the village chief for more than ten years since I was 42 years old and now I am 56 years old. I am getting old and I really can’t do it anymore.”
Party Secretary Liu continued: "I have been a Party Secretary for more than ten years, but now that I am very old, I no longer want to be a Party Secretary.
To be honest, grassroots work is not easy to do. There are many things to do and the work is complicated, especially family planning and public food. These are simply two big mountains that weigh us down.
That’s not all. The key salary is too low. After working hard for a year, the salary is only 2,000 yuan at best. When spread out on average, it’s more than 100 yuan per month. It’s such a loss. I might as well go to any construction site to move bricks.”
Chen Long nodded and said very understandingly: "Village Chief Ma, Secretary Liu, I understand you very much. Grassroots work is difficult to do, especially in our rural areas. It is even more difficult to do, and the salary is extremely low. The effort is not proportional to the harvest.
.”
"You two have been village officials for so many years and have very rich work experience. Grassroots work also needs talents like you. But if you really don't want to do it anymore, I have a way."
"any solution?"
Village Chief Ma asked quickly.
"You two can step back and assist the young people in the village. The young people are knowledgeable, educated, and enterprising, but have no experience. You can lead them for a few years and use your remaining energy."
Village Chief Ma nodded: "This is also okay.
Lao Liu, what do you think?"
Party Secretary Liu asked: "Aaron, it's okay for us to use our spare energy, but what about the salary?"
"I guarantee that the salary will be more than your original salary, not less.
You originally only had more than 100 per month, but I guarantee that your monthly income will not be less than 300. The extra part is the subsidy given to you by our Qinglong Company."
Secretary Liu was immediately overjoyed: "Really?"
"of course it's true.
You two are the leaders of our village, how dare I lie to you."
Village Chief Ma was very happy: "Aaron, it's settled, let's do it."
Liu Party Secretary continued: "Along, we will report to the leaders of the town next Monday and ask you to shoulder the responsibility of village head and party secretary. The town will definitely agree. From now on, you will be the leader of our village.
Come on, we two old guys are running errands behind you."
Chen Fugui, Lin Shoukang and others were also very happy after hearing this.
Although the village chief and party secretary receive very low salary, they are still the largest officials in the village.
Village officials have the final say on all matters in the village.
The people in the village don't know who the cadres are in the town, district, or city.
But you must know the village cadres.
Many times, village officials can handle things that the cadres above cannot handle.
It can be said that village officials are the treasure of the village.
Chen Long smiled calmly: "Village Chief Ma, Secretary Liu, you have misunderstood. I am not the leader of the village, but someone else."
Everyone was stunned.
Chen Long paid for it, but refused to become a village official.
Isn't this stupid?
Liu Zhishu asked inquiringly: "Along, if you are not the right one, then who is the right one?"
Chen Long pointed to the people around him: "These people around me, they are all qualified, such as Xian'er, Bingwa, and Yongjian, they are all young and educated."
Lin Xianer immediately said: "Aaron, I don't want to be.
I am so busy with work in the company, how can I have time to do things in the village?"
Chen Bing and Lin Yongjian were also a little hesitant.
Chen Long said: "Xian'er, you may not be able to do it, but Bingwa and Yongjian, you two can do it, there is no need to refuse.
When you become a village official, you can lead the whole village on the road to common prosperity, you can also broaden your horizons and greatly exercise your management capabilities."
Chen Bing was puzzled: "Brother, how can I lead the whole village on the road to common prosperity?"
Lin Yongjian was also full of doubts.
Chen Long patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Bingba, believe me, you can do it.
Although our Qinglong Company is a small company now, it will definitely develop rapidly in the next few years.
With the excellent quality of our Qinglong Spring, it will surely spread throughout the province, the country, and eventually the world."
"We need to expand our production capacity a lot, and we will also develop in a diversified way in the future. It will not be limited to the production of mineral water. All of these require a large amount of land, the support of the village, and the support of the people in the village, so you two
Being a village official alone will be beneficial to all of us."
Everyone understood this and nodded.
Liu Zhishu praised: "Along, you are worthy of doing great things. You stand tall and see far. You are much better than ordinary people like us."
Village Chief Ma also praised it non-stop.
Chen Fugui said excitedly: "Bingba, listen to your brother and just do it."
Lin Shoukang said to his son: "Yongjian, do whatever your brother-in-law says. You can't make a mistake."
Chen Bing and Lin Yongjian both happily agreed.
Anyway, from now on, they will be in charge of all the big things in the village, and some small things can be left to others, with no harm at all.
Liu Zhishu said: "Bing Wa, Yong Jian, you two take the time to write an application for joining D, and I will be your introducer. It will be approved in a month.
After joining D, future work will be easier to carry out."
Chen Bing and Lin Yongjian also nodded in agreement.
This matter has basically been decided.
In the afternoon, Chen Long went to town again to visit the company.
Although it has already entered autumn, the company's production is still very busy. One bottled mineral water production line has been reduced and two barreled mineral water production lines have been added, both of which are operating at full capacity.
After looking at the company, Chen Long held a small meeting and made a keynote speech: "Now, our company is developing well, and the quality of our products has been recognized by the market. We will definitely expand production next year. There is no doubt about it."
"However, a major problem faced by the company is that the workshop is too narrow and cannot meet production needs. There is no extra land in the town, so it can only build new ones in the village."
"I plan to acquire 2,000 acres of land in the village and build it in three phases. The first phase will at least meet the needs of the province; the second phase will go nationwide, and the third phase, we will go global."
