Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"Hongyi, have you decided where to go? Or do you plan to use the time before the New Year to do some further research?"

After dinner, Wei Yinghong helped the housekeeping staff clear the table, while Fang Weijun made tea for Tai Zhengyang and Liu Hongyi. Everyone sat in the small living room and chatted.

Tai Zhengyang is not arrogant, but the cadres in Zhennan are quite convinced of him.

Because he is selfless.

I never abuse public power for personal gain, and I never engage in any crooked practices.

In his more than two years as First Secretary of the Zhennan Provincial Party Committee, he never assigned anyone from his hometown, nor did he reassign any of his former subordinates. Liu Hongyi was probably the only student he specifically asked to be transferred to Zhennan.

Anyone who knows about Liu Hongyi's deeds knows that he is so outstanding that he is a hot commodity wherever he goes.

No one would think that Tai Zhengyang is abusing his power for personal gain and appointing people based on personal connections.

After hearing what Tai Zhengyang said, Fang Weijun and Wei Yinghong were both very surprised and looked at each other.

What? Isn’t Liu Hongyi here to pick up the first secretary of the Provincial Party Committee?

Liu Hongyi bowed slightly and said, "Principal, I've made up my mind. If possible, I'll go to Zhuang'an County."

"Zhuangan?"

"You chose to go to Zhuang'an?"

Obviously, Liu Hongyi's answer was somewhat beyond Tai Zhengyang's expectations.

"You have to know that Zhuang'an is the poorest and most backward county in the entire Ningzhou... Even if you don't choose the urban area, Zhuang'an is too..."

Tai Zhengyang didn't finish his words.

As the first secretary of the provincial party committee, he could not give Zhuang An such a bad evaluation in front of his subordinates. If it were to spread, it would dampen the enthusiasm of Zhuang An’s cadres and masses.

"Principal, Zhuang'an's foundation is indeed a little lacking, but Zhuang'an has bauxite."

Liu Hongyi did not keep the secret and revealed the reason directly.

"And coal and antimony mines."

“Bauxite?”

"Are you planning to use this as a breakthrough point?"

Tai Zhengyang asked with some doubt.

In the early 1980s, the development of non-ferrous metals had not yet been elevated to a very important position in the country, so Tai Zhengyang's doubts about this were understandable.

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Principal, the idea of ​​developing bauxite actually came to me when I was developing disposable rocket launchers. The main reasons that hindered our development of disposable rocket launchers were, first, specialty plastics, and second, aluminum production."

"Aluminum is widely used in various industries, including construction, transportation, packaging, power generation, and even the military. However, our current aluminum production is too low. I checked and found that last year's annual aluminum production was only 39 tons, accounting for only two percentage points of the global total."

“How big is our country?”

"Now that the whole country is carrying out reform and opening up, no matter which industry, it is developing rapidly. Our aluminum production is so low, how can we meet the market demand?"

"I believe that the country will vigorously develop aluminum production in the future."

"The development of the aluminum industry in Zhuang'an and surrounding areas should be done sooner rather than later."

“The sooner we develop, the sooner we will benefit.”

"But do we have the technology to produce electrolytic aluminum?"

Tai Zhengyang was still a little worried.

The industrial foundation of the entire Zhennan is extremely weak, even worse than that of Chuzhou.

"I have!"

Liu Hongyi answered without hesitation, giving Tai Zhengyang a reassurance.

He had already given Aoki Kenichi a heads-up, and Aoki Kenichi had already made certain preparations. Furthermore, with the country's high regard for the nonferrous metals industry, Liu Hongyi was confident of securing funding and policies.

Is the network of relationships he has built in Beidu just for show?

Not to mention the big-name officials like Xin Yuanjia, Xu Wenxin, and Yan Xue, even if he went through the formal official channels, he would have plenty of "powerful backers".

Qi Sen, President of the National Academy of Sciences, Xu Wenxin's father Xu Qidi, Xin Yuanjia, Yan Xue and other old men in the family all had a very good impression of him. Even in front of that person, Liu Hongyi could have a say.
