Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"Currently, their self-heating field food, field cooking vehicles, and engineer shovels have begun to be supplied to frontline troops, and the troops have given them very high praise. To support Zhuang'an in building these factories, Comrade Yu Donghai of the Southern Military Region has granted Zhuang'an one million yuan in one go, which can be considered an advance payment, and the amount will be deducted monthly from the subsequent products."

"According to the current situation, the one million will be repaid by the middle of next year at the latest."

"In other words, Comrade Liu Hongyi didn't spend a penny of local funds, and in just one year, he built three factories and solved the employment problems of 700 to 800 people."

"Old Chief, this is the tremendous power of liberating the mind."

"Before this, who among us could have imagined that running a factory could be done this way? You can actually get something for nothing..."

Chen Keping thought for a moment and said, "Lao Tai, I agree with you. We really need to liberate our minds. Comrade Xiao Liu is taking the initiative to cooperate with the troops in production, and there's no problem with that. After all, they're all one of us!"

"Military-civilian cooperation and joint construction is a good model that deserves careful study and promotion."

"However, a Sino-foreign joint venture for electrolytic aluminum projects involves foreigners. Once foreigners come, will they truly help us build the factory? Do they have any ulterior motives?"

Chen Keping frowned and looked worried.

"Lao Tai, this is what I am most worried about."

"Perhaps you'll take some precautions when building this electrolytic aluminum plant. But I'm worried that once this precedent is set, it will become common for foreigners to come to our country. But no one can guarantee that every local leader will be as firm and thoughtful as you, Old Tai. Will someone take advantage of this opportunity to collude with foreigners and take advantage of our country?"

"I don't think it's impossible!"

“Once this happens on a large scale, how can we save the situation?”

"When the time comes, we'll send out documents to stop it. Will it be able to stop it?"

"Since ancient times, to cut off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents."

"The law cannot punish everyone!"

"So, Lao Tai, this Sino-foreign joint venture for an electrolytic aluminum project isn't just a matter for your Zhennan province. It's a matter of national importance. How can you not consider it carefully?"

"..."

Tai Zhengyang suddenly didn't know what to say.

He really didn't think that far ahead.

He was solely focused on boosting Zhennan's production during his term, completing his final shift, and delivering a satisfactory report to his superiors.

Liu Hongyi suddenly raised his hand.

Chen Keping looked at him, nodded, and said, "Xiao Liu, tell me about it."

"Yes, Chief!"

Liu Hongyi straightened his body and answered loudly.

"I think your consideration is very reasonable and wise. The issue you mentioned is indeed very important and must be taken seriously!"

Everyone's eyes fell on his face, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Wasn't it you who proposed the Sino-foreign joint venture electrolytic aluminum project?

What do you mean by that?

"Commander, I personally believe that reform and opening up are imperative. Opening our doors to the world and welcoming friends from all over the world to invest, do business, and visit is indeed a shortcut to accelerating production and revitalizing the economy."

"For example, the reason why I proposed to the municipal and provincial party committees that this electrolytic aluminum project should be a Sino-foreign joint venture was also based on practical considerations."

"First, our domestic electrolytic aluminum production technology is still not up to standard. Compared with advanced foreign technology, if we do it ourselves, it will cause a lot of waste and serious heavy metal residues, causing considerable environmental pollution and leaving a lot of toxins."

"That's why I wanted to introduce advanced foreign technology to produce electrolytic aluminum."

"Improve efficiency, increase production capacity, and reduce residual pollution."

"Secondly, our finances are extremely tight. Baosteel alone consumes one-third of the nation's fiscal revenue. How much determination did the country put into building Baosteel?"
