Ai Gaofeng laughed and said, "Secretary Guosheng, we have also discussed and studied this issue... The most important point is to abide by the law."

"If you want to set up private factories and small workshops, you can. We have no objection. But you must register and obtain a business license before you can do it. You can't do it secretly. That's not allowed."

This is also the unified "caliber" reached after repeated discussions by Ai Gaofeng, Liu Chuan and Liu Hongyi.

It can be summed up in four words: "act in accordance with the law."

"As long as they're registered, they're under government management. If they operate legally and produce honestly, there won't be any problems. If they operate illegally, they'll be shut down."

Zheng Guosheng was stunned for a moment.

Is that what I mean?

I'm talking about your general direction...

But he couldn't find any reason to refute Ai Gaofeng's words for a moment.

Everything is under control. If something goes wrong, we can stop it at any time.

Secretary Guosheng, what else do you have to worry about?

In the evening, in Suite No. 1 of Chuzhou Hotel, Bian Zhicheng summoned Ai Gaofeng alone.

This is not the old Chuzhou Prefectural Party Committee guesthouse, but a completely newly built Chuzhou Hotel, built according to the standards of a foreign-related hotel. In this era, it can truly be described as magnificent, high-end and classy.

As soon as they met, Bian Zhicheng joked with Ai Gaofeng: "Gao Feng, your Chuzhou Hotel is more luxurious than any other foreign-related hotel in the province."

Ai Gaofeng chuckled and said, "Secretary Zhicheng, haven't we had too many foreign guests in the past two years?"

"I'm thinking that a high-end guesthouse also represents the reputation of our Chuzhou. We don't want those foreigners to look down on us."

"Hahaha, you always have a reason..."

Bian Zhicheng reached out and tapped him, saying with a smile.

"Well, you earn your own money and spend it yourselves, and no one can say anything. Just use the money for the right things."

"Gao Feng, please sit down."

Bian Zhicheng was very polite.

Ai Gaofeng bowed slightly as a greeting and sat down on the single sofa at the side, sitting very comfortably.

In those days, many of the "official practices" that were taken for granted in later generations had not yet been "deeply rooted in the hearts of the people", and the relationship between superiors and subordinates was still more or less equal.

In addition, Bian Zhicheng is about the same age as Ai Gaofeng, and Ai Gaofeng is generous and upright by nature, so he is more relaxed in front of Bian Zhicheng.

"Gao Feng, you and Comrade Chu An have done a great job in Chuzhou over the past two years. Chuzhou has really changed a lot. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that Chuzhou has become like this now."

"Not only are there so many bicycles on the streets, but there are also quite a few motorcycles."

Bian Zhicheng said with some emotion and took the initiative to hand a cigarette to Ai Gaofeng.

Ai Gaofeng hurriedly took it with both hands, leaned over and lit the fire for him, then said, "To be honest with Secretary Zhicheng, I personally think that it's mainly because of the emancipation of thought and the relaxation of policies. As long as the major policy of reform and opening up remains unchanged, within a few years, production will be able to resume across the country, and the people's lives will definitely get better and better."

"Yes, yes... But Comrade Gao Feng, the reform and opening-up policy is only one aspect, albeit a major one. Whether local production can be rapidly ramped up and the people's living standards can be rapidly improved also depends on the leadership's effectiveness."

Ai Gaofeng didn't know how to respond to this, so he could only bow again to express his gratitude for Bian Zhicheng's compliment.

Bian Zhicheng said, "Gao Feng, I have a question for you. I hope you can answer truthfully without hiding anything or holding back."

Ai Gaofeng was slightly startled, not knowing what Bian Zhicheng wanted to ask him, and just looked at him intently.

Bian Zhicheng took two puffs of his cigarette before saying, "Gao Feng, according to your estimate, if the current trend continues, how many years will it take for Chuzhou to surpass Daning?"
