Cao Weidong is located in Beihe Province, which has 7 provincial cities, 3 county-level cities, 64 counties, and 915 people's communes.
Past life.
Cao Weidong is always confused.
How are various administrative regions divided?
It wasn't until after traveling through time that I became a cadre that I could understand the differences between administrative units such as municipalities, provincial cities, prefecture-level cities, and county-level cities.
Simply put.
Municipalities have the highest status among all cities.
Then there are provincial-level cities, department-level prefecture-level cities, and then county-level cities.
As for the county-level cities further down, there are ordinary county towns such as Mu County, Wan'an County, and Fuxiang County.
Even though there is only one word difference between county-level city and county-level.
But there is a world of difference between the two.
The work focus of county-level cities is mainly on urban construction and development, while taking into account rural development.
The focus of the county's work is on the people's communes and production brigades.
Focus on promoting work in production, literacy, poverty alleviation and other aspects.
Due to different policy priorities.
Normally.
County-level cities are larger than county towns and their economies are more developed than county towns.
This is specifically reflected in per capita income, as well as urbanization, infrastructure, culture, technology and other fields.
Cao Weidong's target this time is Tongquan City, one of the three largest county-level cities in North Ho Province.
Tongquan City is a very special county-level city in Bei Ha Province.
There are several railway intersections here and it is a very important transportation transfer station between the north and the south.
Because it relies on the railway station.
Tongquan City is very prosperous.
In Tongquan, four or five-story buildings can be seen everywhere.
The streets are wide.
Pedestrians are also coming and going on the street, and bicycles can be seen going back and forth from time to time.
You can even occasionally see someone driving a car whizzing by on the road.
This already has the flavor of Forty-Nine Cities.
Just when Cao Weidong was entering the city, a car was driving slowly, blocking them.
Cao Weidong glanced at it.
It’s the bear’s Volga.
Looking at the license plate, it should be a government vehicle.
The Volga was driving really slowly. Cao Weidong was a little impatient, so he simply increased his speed and went around the Volga.
But he just passed the Volga car not long ago.
The Volga suddenly accelerated from behind and drove straight to the Red Star sedan.
First, several sets of light signals were given, and then it slowly stopped.
Cao Weidong, who was driving, was a little puzzled.
This is...
Make yourself stop?
……
Sitting in this Volga car is the leader in charge of publicity work in Tongquan City, named Tian Youliang.
Tian Youliang had to go to the provincial capital to attend a meeting, so he drove a Volga in the city and has just come back.
At this moment, a car passed by them.
Tian Youliang was shocked.
He took a closer look and was surprised.
Is this a Red Star sedan?
Chen Youliang recognized the car.
Due to work needs, he often reads internal newspapers and is very familiar with various new things in the country.
Naturally, I also know about Red Star sedan.
This is the first purely domestic sedan in China equipped with a domestic V8 engine.
Known as the light of domestic cars.
And it was recognized as a special vehicle for cadres.
Many administrative units have placed orders with Jinghong Automobile Factory, which produces Red Star sedans.
Tongquan City is no exception.
They submitted purchase orders to the Jinghong Automobile factory through their superiors.
However, due to the large order volume of Red Star cars.
So until now.
The car ordered by the city has not yet been delivered.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to drive this outdated Volga when he went out for a meeting.
Tian Youliang's mind was quick and he began to think about it quietly.
"The people who can drive Red Star cars at this time must be the leaders from above. I don't know what they are doing here."
He asked the driver to drive faster and follow him, and then carefully looked at the parking space of the Red Star sedan.
Usually, there is a very small serial number on the butt of a Red Star car.
Just like a person’s household registration book.
Represents the identity of Red Star Car.
Suddenly.
Tian Youliang opened his eyes wide.
He saw a set of numbers that blinded him.
000002!
The meaning behind this group of numbers.
It is the second mass-produced Red Star sedan in the country!
Tian Youliang's breathing suddenly became rapid.
The owner of the first Red Star car was Secretary Huang of the Sijiu City Committee.
Then this is the second Red Star sedan in the country.
Who is its owner?
This moment.
Tian Youliang felt deep curiosity in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and asked the driver to chase him.
.......
Cao Weidong slowly stopped the car.
At this moment, the door of the Volga suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with a solemn face and wearing a cadre uniform walked out.
The middle-aged man walked to the Red Star car.
Knocked on the glass lightly.
A respectful manner.
"Comrade leader, I am Tian Youliang, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee. I don't know who the leader is and what you are doing in Tongquan..."
Inside the Red Star car, Cao Weidong and County Magistrate Ji looked at each other.
He looked at County Magistrate Ji.
"Is this person looking for you?"
County Magistrate Ji was also a little puzzled.
"This... it should be so, but I don't know him either..."
After all, it seems that the only person who can be called a leading comrade here is County Magistrate Ji.
County Magistrate Ji decided to get out of the car and take a look.
He got out of the car.
Walked over and took the initiative to shake hands with Tian Youliang.
"Hello, Comrade Tian Youliang, my name is Ji Xiaoyang, and I am the county magistrate of Wan'an County."
"Oh, it turns out to be Comrade Ji from Wan'an County, hello, hello..."
Tian Youliang responded eagerly, feeling a little unimpressed.
A mere county magistrate is definitely not the owner of this car.
After exchanging a few words, Tian Youliang asked pretending to be nonchalant.
"Mr. Ji, is this car for your county? It's really beautiful."
County Magistrate Ji shook his head.
Pointing to Cao Weidong standing next to him.
"No, this car belongs to this little comrade, he..."
Before County Magistrate Ji finished speaking, he found that Tian Youliang left him and walked to Cao Weidong, and started chatting enthusiastically.
County Magistrate Ji:.......
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He felt offended.
Cao Weidong was also stunned for a moment.
Faced with Tian Youliang's enthusiasm, he could only respond.
"Hello, Comrade Tian Youliang, my name is Cao Weidong, and I am the director of Zhenhua Biogas Plant in Wan'an County."
Tian Youliang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Cao Weidong, it turns out you are Comrade Cao Weidong... I have long admired your name."
This time it was Cao Weidong who was surprised.
"Oh, do you know me?"
"Of course, you are the chief technical advisor of Jinghong Auto Repair Factory, the father of Red Star Cars, and the founder of Zhenhua Biogas Plant. How could I not recognize you?"
The above contents are all information Tian Youliang saw in internal newspapers.
But it can be published in internal newspapers.
The information is absolutely accurate.
After knowing the other party's true identity, Tian Youliang felt like he had a sudden enlightenment.
No wonder.
He is the father of Red Star Car.
I heard that the design theory of the Red Star sedan was proposed by someone else.
For such a person, it seems to be a matter of course to own the second Red Star car in the country.
Tian Youliang was very excited.
I actually felt excited about meeting a big shot.
After pulling Cao Weidong to talk for a long time, he suddenly came to his senses and asked curiously.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, I still don't know what you plan to do when you come to us?"
"Oh, to be honest, we came here this time to discuss a business deal with Comrade Rong Zhenghao from the department store."
Cao Weidong briefly introduced the purpose of his trip.
Tian Youliang smiled.
"Rong Zhenghao, this is the manager in charge of the department store in our city. It turns out you are looking for him."
"I heard that he has been very busy recently. Manufacturers from other counties and cities often come to discuss cooperation. I wonder if you have contacted him in advance?"
Cao Weidong shook his head.
There was just a verbal agreement between Rong Zhenghao and Xu Aiguo.
He did not leave his contact information.
So even if they want to contact them, they have no way to do so.
Tian Youliang frowned.
"If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to see Comrade Rong Zhenghao."
"Why?"
"Because there are many manufacturers who want to discuss cooperation with department stores. Comrade Rong Zhenghao has to meet with many manufacturers every day, and he doesn't know when it will be your turn."
Cao Weidong had a look of embarrassment on his face.
He is very confident in his biogas products.
But if you can’t see anyone, all your preparations are in vain.
Tian Youliang thought for a while and said suddenly.
"How about this, I'll give you a letter of introduction, and you go there with my letter of introduction. Maybe you can meet him."
"It's just that Comrade Rong Zhenghao and I are not in the same system. In fact, I personally don't know how much effect my letter of introduction has."
Cao Weidong was overjoyed.
It's better than nothing.
And this is the deputy director of the Propaganda Department.
It still has some influence.
Cao Weidong said hurriedly.
"Thank you very much."
Tian Youliang said with a smile.
"It's a small thing..."
"By the way, when you go back, don't leave in a hurry. You must come to me and I'll treat you to dinner."
.......
Farewell to the enthusiastic Tian Youliang.
Cao Weidong held the letter of introduction with some emotion.
"Fortunately, we met Director Tian this time and got a letter of introduction as soon as we entered the city. Otherwise, we might not even be able to meet him."
Xu Aiguo laughed and chatted beside him.
"Director, this is a good sign, indicating that our operation will go very smoothly."
Only County Magistrate Ji felt a little sour.
Because until Tian Youliang left, he didn’t say hello to him again.
This made County Magistrate Ji very hurt.
After all, I am the head of a county
Is it just that there is no card?
Ignoring County Magistrate Ji who was sulking alone.
Cao Weidong drives.
Take a few people and continue driving towards the department store.
We arrived at the place quickly.
This is a huge five-story building.
The scale is almost as big as that of the department stores in Forty-Nine City.
In this era, it is already considered a very majestic behemoth.
Under the guidance of comrades from the Security Department, Cao Weidong parked the car in a dedicated parking lot.
What surprised him a little was.
There is actually a car watcher here.
Cao Weidong went over to inquire and then understood what was going on.
The department store in Tongquan City is relatively large, attracting people from other places to come and shop, and some of these people drive cars or trucks.
Since cars are relatively expensive in this era, department stores are afraid that these cars may have problems while passengers are shopping, so they spend money to hire an old man to look after the cars to prevent them from being damaged.
During the conversation, Cao Weidong knew that this old man had been working for a long time.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to the other person, and then lit it himself.
"Old comrade, is Manager Rong here today?"
Cao Weidong asked casually while holding a cigarette.
The old man looking at the car took a look at it with his cigarette.
Oops!
Or China?
He put it under his nose, smelled it, smoked reluctantly, and put the cigarette in his ear happily.
"Here he is, do you want to see him?"
Cao Weidong said.
"Yes, we are here to discuss business with him."
The old man looking at the car shook his head.
"There are too many manufacturers who want to meet our Manager Rong. You need to go to Comrade Xiao Yang first to arrange a place."
Cao Weidong is a little strange.
"Who is Xiao Yang?"
The old man looking at the car said naturally.
"Xiao Yang is the foreman of our department store."
Cao Weidong got some useful information from the old car watcher, then asked about Xiao Yang's location, and led everyone into the department store.
Wait until you enter the department store.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The department store is crowded with people.
And it’s different from the county seat.
People here are much bolder in dressing.
In addition to the most basic three colors of black, blue and gray, there are also several other bright colors.
And there are many styles of clothes.
Some even come with hair accessories and silk scarves.
This is unique in the county.
Cao Weidong fell in love with this place at first sight.
Following the instructions of the old car watcher, they quickly found Xiao Yang.
This lesbian named Xiao Yang is a somewhat skinny middle-aged woman.
After hearing Cao Weidong's purpose, she took out a notebook, turned to the last few pages, and said lazily.
"Name, workplace, and what you plan to discuss, I'll register it for you."
"Manager Rong is busy right now. I don't have time to see you. Just line up first. Remember to come over every day and I will arrange it for you when there are seats."
Xu Aiguo was a little stunned.
Manager Rong’s airs are really big.
If you didn’t know this, you would have thought it was the leader of some country.
He also wanted to say a few words.
As a result, Xiao Yang had a straight face and became impatient.
"Didn't I make it clear? The leader doesn't have time now. You should go back."
Xu Aiguo was disappointed and his face was a little confused.
Cao Weidong and County Magistrate Ji looked at each other.
Then he took out the letter of introduction.
Pass it to Comrade Xiao Yang.
"Comrade, this is a letter of introduction issued to us by our city's Propaganda Department. Can you please be accommodating and let us meet Manager Rong?"
Xiao Yang took the letter doubtfully, read it over, blinked, and suddenly became enthusiastic.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had a letter of introduction? Manager Rong happens to be in the office. You should have time now. I will take you there."
Xu Aiguo was a little confused.
"Then...do we still need to queue up?"
Xiao Yang said with a smile.
"Why are you waiting in line? The letter of introduction you Comrade Arita wrote is from one of our own. We call this a special case."
Cao Weidong sighed in praise.
Look, my brain is so bright, otherwise I can be the foreman?
Under the leadership of Xiao Yang.
Cao Weidong and others successfully met Rong Zhenghao.
Xu Aiguo took the initiative to walk over and say hello.
"Hello, Manager Rong, do you still remember me?"
Rong Zhenghao's face was full of confusion.
"Comrade, who are you? Do we know each other?"
Xu Aiguo is anxious.
"Manager Rong, it's me. I'm Xiao Xu, the salesperson of the biogas plant. We've met in the county before..."
After Xu Aiguo's introduction, Rong Zhenghao finally recalled it.
He just said it casually on a whim, but he didn't expect that Xu Aiguo actually came to his door.
Rong Zhenghao glanced at Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang wisely handed over the letter of introduction.
"The manager is related to Director Tian Youliang."
Rong Zhenghao glanced at the letter of introduction and immediately put a professional smile on his face.
"It turns out that it was Director Tian who introduced us. Then we are all our own people. If you have any questions, just tell us."
Xu Aiguo glanced at Cao Weidong.
Cao Weidong nodded.
He planned to let Xu Aiguo communicate throughout the whole process this time and give him a chance to experience.
Xu Aiguo holds the brochure.
He introduced his own products endlessly.
And he proposed it very implicitly.
I want to get a store in a department store.
Rong Zhenghao was happy when he heard it.
This is a small thing.
He can make the decision himself.
So Rong Zhenghao said with a smile.
"I understand what you mean. Leave this matter to me. There will be no problem. Come over tomorrow and I will arrange for a waiter to show you the store location and sign an agreement."
Things went smoother than I expected.
Xu Aiguo was overjoyed.
The group said goodbye to Rong Zhenghao, walked around the department store, bought some candies and milk powder, and left the department store.
Since we have to go to the department store tomorrow, we gathered together and found a guest house in the city to stay temporarily.
In the evening, Cao Weidong chose a state-owned restaurant with a fairly good environment and treated everyone to a delicious meal.
A night without words.
The next day.
Everyone came to the department store again.
I was just about to sign the agreement and choose a stall.
Rong Zhenghao suddenly changed his tune.
"Comrade Xu Aiguo, I'm very sorry, I can't handle this matter of yours."
This change is too sudden.
Xu Aiguo is a little unbelievable.
He said a few words, but Rong Zhenghao didn't respond at all. He looked businesslike, and the enthusiasm from yesterday was gone.
County Magistrate Ji frowned and said.
"In just one day, the other party has changed so much. There is definitely a reason behind it."
Cao Weidong nodded.
"County Magistrate Ji, don't you have friends in the city? Why don't you ask for help?"
County Magistrate Ji nodded proudly.
This time it was finally time for him to show off his skills.
It's time to show this boy Cao Weidong, he is still hot when he is old.
The next day.
County Magistrate Ji made full preparations, prepared generous gifts, and went out to visit his old friends.
Cao Weidong and others did not go out, but were waiting for news at the guest house.
However, this wait lasted all afternoon.
It was not until evening that County Magistrate Ji returned.
Facing the expectant looks of Cao Weidong and others, County Magistrate Ji blushed and shook his head.
"It's a little strange this time. My old friend said everything else, but he remained surprisingly silent about this matter."
