After eating and drinking, it was already evening. Zou Ping was drunk and limped into the car with the help of the driver.

As a government official, he was no match for Dai Yunfei and other peasant cadres. After a few toasts, he fell on the table.

After more than a year of training, Qi Tongwei's alcohol tolerance has gradually improved. Although he can't say that he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, he can still handle these drinking parties with ease.

After leaving the box, Qi Tongwei did not stay for long. He said hello to Dai Yunfei and went back to the apartment to rest.

The office has changed, but the dormitory has not. Qi Tongwei had a problem in his previous life. He is very particular about his bed. He is used to sleeping on the bed in this apartment. If he suddenly changes the environment, he might suffer from insomnia for several nights.

After Qi Tongwei left, Dai Yunfei called Liu Jiayi and asked him to take Yang Longjiang and Tian Jianguo to the apartment to rest, and asked them to clean their offices overnight.

Liu Jiayi naturally did not dare to neglect it and called Yang Longjiang and the other person to go to the dormitory building.

Wang Lang was also about to leave, but was stopped by Dai Yunfei.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Secretary Dai?"

Dai Yunfei smiled and said, "It's nothing, Lao Wang, you are quite familiar with Secretary Qi, do you know the next work plan of Xinyue?"

Wang Lang waved his hands and said with a smile, "Secretary Dai, how can I guess what Secretary Qi is thinking?"

"But... I think Secretary Qi will make a big move next, but I don't know in which field."

Dai Yunfei quietly rolled his eyes at Wang Lang and said, "What's the difference between saying it and not saying it?"

"Oh, I see. Okay, okay, I get it."

……

The next day, Qi Tongwei came to the office early and started his first day as the Party Secretary.

Previously, he was the deputy secretary of the Party Committee and the political and legal committee member. Although he had ideas about many tasks, he could not interfere.

Now that I'm the top boss, I can finally carry out my grand ambitions.

The first thing Qi Tongwei did when he entered the office was to call Dai Yunfei and the director of the Finance Office.

The director of the Finance Office is Yuan Lin, who is in his thirties and graduated from Handong University of Finance and Economics. More than ten years ago, he was assigned to the County Finance Bureau. Due to his outstanding work ability, he was valued by the then director of the Finance Bureau and was promoted to the section level within a few years.

But the good times did not last long. The director was placed under disciplinary supervision by the county committee for corruption and bribery, and Yuan Lin's political resources were gone. The new director preferred flatterers, so he immediately replaced him as the office director and sent him to the Xinyue Finance Office.

At the beginning, Yuan Lin thought that things change over time and one should not look down on a young man who is poor. As a result, he stayed in Xinyue for thirteen years. It was only after Lin Taiping came that he was promoted from deputy director to director.

Since then, Yuan Lin has been in a slump, gradually lost motivation, and just muddled through his days.

After entering Qi Tongwei's office, Yuan Lin called out "Secretary Qi" in a lukewarm tone, and then turned to Yan'er without saying anything.

Dai Yunfei was the leader in charge of finance. Seeing that Yuan Lin was still in the same state, he quickly scolded him, "Yuan Lin, Secretary Qi wants to ask some questions, you better pay attention!"

Yuan Lin then slowly raised his head and looked at Qi Tongwei, "Oh, Secretary Qi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Qi Tongwei smiled. If he hadn't read Yuan Lin's resume, he would have thought that this guy was very smart.

"Please sit down, Comrade Yuan Lin"

"I came to you because I want to know the financial situation of our town."

Dai Yunfei looked a little unnatural when he heard this. After a while, he slowly said, "Secretary Qi, this... this, the town's finances... are in a difficult situation."

"Oh?"

Qi Tongwei continued to ask, "Old Dai, tell me, what is the difficulty?"

Dai Yunfei has worked in the financial position for many years and is very familiar with Xinyue’s situation. After thinking for a while, he described the general financial predicament.

Due to its locational disadvantage, Xinyue is not favored by investors, so most of the enterprises in the town are invested and established by the town government.

If it is established with government investment, it means it is a state-owned enterprise, and employees of state-owned enterprises do not care much about the concept of efficiency because they receive a fixed salary.

Anyway, whether the company makes money or not, you can still get a salary. If the company makes money, the workload will be heavier. If the company loses money, it will not affect you much and you can even be lazy and slack off. In this comparison, most employees choose the latter.

This has led to large-scale losses in state-owned enterprises, from top to bottom.

The next year, that is, in 1998, state-owned enterprises began to reform and employees began to be laid off on a large scale.

After some investigation, it was found that most of Xinyue's fiscal revenue came from the reserve fund and family planning fines, and even taxes only accounted for a small part. From the perspective of economics, this is a completely deformed economic state.

Xinyue has been spending more than it earns for many years and cannot even afford the financial support. It relies entirely on grants from the county to survive.

No wonder Lin Taiping did nothing. In such an environment, it is good enough to maintain stability.

Qi Tongwei immediately understood that being the leader was indeed not that easy.

Dai Yunfei took a sip of tea and continued, "So, there is a stone quarry in the town, which brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue every year."

"But in recent years, the neighboring Nanmu Town has also started to develop a stone quarry and raised funds to build a cement road. For convenience, truck drivers all go to Nanmu to transport stones and no longer come to Xinyue. Over time, the stone quarry closed down."

"Aren't there a few entrepreneurs from Xinyue? We can let them invest and build a factory."

Dai Yun shook his head and said, "Secretary Qi, you don't know. If you ask them to donate money, they will donate. But if you ask them to come to Xinyue to build a factory, they will say they will not come no matter what."

"In the final analysis, the conditions in Xinyue are too bad, not only in terms of transportation but also in terms of business environment."

Qi Tongwei thought to himself, it seems that this road has to be repaired. If not, Xinyue will really have no chance.

"Old Dai, if Xinyue had a cement road, do you have the confidence to boost Xinyue's economy?"

Dai Yunfei was stunned and didn't understand what was going on for a moment.

Qi Tongwei continued, "I will find a way to raise funds to repair the road from Xinyue to Jinshan. Once the road is repaired, the economy will naturally grow."

Dai Yunfei nodded quickly after hearing this, "That's right, Secretary Qi, I can guarantee that as long as there is a decent road, those entrepreneurs who come to Xinyue will never turn around and leave again."

Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up and he looked at the confused Yuan Lin, "Comrade Yuan Lin, how much money is left in the town?"

"Ah? Oh..."

Yuan Lin was caught off guard by Qi Tongwei's sudden question. After he reacted, he answered hesitantly, "Qi... Secretary Qi, I checked yesterday and the town's available funds are probably only over 100,000 yuan."

The available funds here, of course, refer to the funds that can be used at will after deducting those necessary expenses.

"So little?" Qi Tongwei was a little surprised. After all, this was a town. No matter how poor it was, there should be 500,000 or 600,000 people. But there were only more than 100,000.

"It seems that I can only use my connections..."

Qi Tongwei was thinking that he would have to trouble Liang Qunfeng again.
