No one in Chuzhou dared to "steal" anything he designed.

Try someone else?

In an era without patent protection, if you gave your great design ideas to others to produce samples for you and acted as a hands-off boss, and you were not even there, they would steal it in minutes.

Now that he had the samples, the Finance Bureau director told him that Zhuang'an County simply couldn't afford to build the factory.

"Secretary, the county really has no other choice..."

Li Ming was only in his forties and was considered a relatively young and energetic cadre. His thinking was not particularly rigid. After Liu Hongyi had a conversation with him, he was more accepting of him.

Actually, if Liu Hongyi's standards for hiring people are followed completely, there is no cadre in Zhuang'an County that can satisfy him 100%, not even Wei Yinghong!

But given the current situation, Secretary Liu had no choice but to use this group of people for the time being.

"As you know, our county is extremely poor. We live a very tight life every year. We have to rely on funding from higher authorities for our salaries. Our own fiscal revenue is simply not enough."

"The county simply can't come up with the money to build so many factories now."

Li Ming spoke with confidence.

Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

The financial situation of Zhuang'an County is so bad that even if you sell me, the director of the Finance Bureau, you won't get much money in return.

"Old Li, you're the director of the Finance Bureau. You can't just cry poor. Is there really no other solution?"

Liu Hongyi was not in a hurry. He took a puff of his cigarette and looked at him and asked.

Li Ming chuckled and said, "Secretary, if it were someone else, I wouldn't say anything, but you're different... What I mean is, if the county has no money, we can ask the provincial and municipal governments for help..."

When Yuan Hongjie was the county party secretary, Li Ming would never say this.

It's useless to say it.

Among so many districts and counties under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou, Zhuang'an is the least noticeable.

Yuan Hongjie had virtually no say in front of the municipal Party committee leaders and never stood up straight. Asking him to ask the city for money was likely a lost cause.

As for going to the province to get money, that goes without saying.

He actually dared to speak!

It’s strange that the provincial leaders and the Finance Department would pay any attention to him.

But now, hasn't the situation changed?

Liu Hongyi is Tai Zhengyang's relative, and it's said that Fang Zimu, the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, also thinks highly of him. His reputation is much greater than Yuan Hongjie's.

As long as he asks for it, the provincial and municipal governments will definitely give him face and allocate some money.

Liu Hongyi glared at him and criticized: "That's a good idea!"

"Secretary Tai asked me to come to Zhuang'an so that we could become self-reliant and build a model county. We've been asking the provincial and municipal governments for money for everything. Even if the county's economy develops, can that be considered our own achievement?"

It was only because Liu Hongyi approved of Li Ming that he had this attitude towards him.

If he completely looked down on Li Ming, he would actually speak more gently.

I immediately looked for a suitable person to replace him.

Li Ming wasn't embarrassed by the scolding. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Secretary, what should we do? We're so broke, and we don't ask for support from our superiors. What else can we do?"

PS: New Year’s Eve comes every year, and today is New Year’s Eve again. The reunion dinner is especially delicious!

I'm asking everyone to take a few days off. During the Lunar New Year holiday, I'm also taking a break. This book will be updated with one chapter per day. Plus, we still have to update 6000 words a day for "Official World," so I'm just taking a breather. Please understand.

Zhou Baoshan glanced at him and said to Liu Hongyi tentatively, "Secretary, if that's the case, should we look for a bank?"

Liu Hongyi laughed and said to Li Ming, "Old Li, see? The county magistrate is more capable than you."

Li Ming was still not embarrassed and nodded repeatedly.

He is the county magistrate's direct subordinate. It is not shameful to admit that the county magistrate is more capable than himself.
