A professor's rebirth: I entered Tsinghua University in 1977.

During this period, the Jingjiang Provincial Party Committee had a relatively large team.

The main reason is that there are many levels of job positions.

There are the first secretary, second secretary, executive secretary, secretary, deputy secretary and standing committee members.

Of course, this situation is not unique to Jingjiang Province, but also exists in other provinces across the country.

The debate at the meeting was quite heated.

This situation occurred, on the one hand, because Ai Gaofeng was quite bold and took big steps. Not only did he want to build a factory, he wanted to build several at once.

In addition, we need to build feed factories, pig farms and chicken farms.

If these things were done in other regions, even just one of them would be a big deal.

When he came to Ai Gaofeng, he wanted to eat a big fat man in one bite.

It is natural that Ai Gaofeng is so radical that there are few people who support him and many who oppose him in the province.

The majority of people do not want to take risks.

On the other hand, it is because Bian Zhicheng has not been the first secretary of the Jingjiang Provincial Party Committee for a long time, and he is relatively young, so his prestige in the provincial party committee has not yet been fully established.

Many comrades in the team did not really agree with him.

However, in front of Bian Zhicheng, the opposing comrades were relatively mild in tone, not as intense as their literal opinions.

The meeting lasted for two hours. After all the comrades had expressed their opinions, everyone's eyes were focused on Bian Zhicheng's face.

"I'm basically aware of your opinions, comrades. Now let's get back to the original question: how will we accommodate the educated youth who have returned to the city, as well as the high school graduates who graduated this year?"

Bian Zhicheng knocked on the table lightly and asked in a deep voice.

"It's easy for high school students graduating this year. They can continue to go to the countryside..."

Comrade Zheng Guosheng, the Standing Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, who was the most vehement opponent, immediately responded.

Zheng Guosheng is about sixty years old and is an old party cadre. Among those present, he has the longest experience and is the third in command of the provincial party committee, so his opinions have a great influence on everyone.

Bian Zhicheng shook his head and said, "In a few years, they will come back... Now, many educated youth have indeed sneaked back to the city without a legitimate reason, without the approval of the local brigade or commune. Once they return to the city, they become illegal residents."

"Ai Gaofeng and his team conducted a post-Chinese New Year investigation in Chuzhou. They found over a hundred educated youth who had sneaked back to the city without permission, just from Chuxin County and its suburbs. Over the years, there were over a thousand unemployed youth who had returned to the city but not been assigned jobs, or who had stayed in the city instead of joining the production team."

"These more than a thousand people are more than a thousand destabilizing factors."

"These are all young and strong men and women who stay at home all day long, doing nothing. Over time, they are bound to have mental problems. The concerns of Ai Gaofeng and Chuzhou are not unreasonable."

"There were several serious criminal cases during this Spring Festival. Three people died and many more were injured, both minor and serious. Two lesbians were also raped and gang-raped."

"Comrades, this is just one county, Chuxin. There are nine counties in the Chuzhou area, and similar situations are occurring in other counties as well."

"What about the entire province?"

"Every year that passes, they grow a year older, and their parents grow a year older. They need to work, get married, and start a family. If they don't get married and start a family, they won't be able to settle down, and over time, problems will arise."

"Fighting, petty theft, even being a hooligan and bullying female lesbians..."

"Comrade Ai Gaofeng is right about this. He sees the seriousness of the problem."

"Secretary Bian, this situation is happening all over the country right now. This isn't just a problem in Jingjiang."

Zheng Guosheng said a little unhappily.

Bian Zhicheng's words were equivalent to completely denying his opinion, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Bian Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "Secretary Guosheng, I can't say if this is the case nationwide. But in Jingjiang, since we've discovered this problem, we must find a way to solve it."

"We can't always wait for higher-ups to point out problems and give us solutions."

"You still have to exercise your subjective initiative."

"How to deal with it?"

Zheng Guosheng asked with a serious face.

"Is it really like what Ai Gaofeng said? Building so many factories? And also pig farms and chicken farms? Isn't that a mistake?"

"Secretary Guosheng, you can't generalize this."

Another provincial party secretary interrupted and said with a smile.

He was the secretary in charge of industrial production and one of the few provincial leaders who supported Ai Gaofeng's opinions.

"Comrade Ai Gaofeng made it very clear that these factories are mainly built to earn foreign exchange through exports. Look at the products they want to produce: enamelware, power bank batteries, mopeds, and even pig and chicken farms. These are indeed key products for earning foreign exchange through exports."

"These products are not only welcomed by third world countries, but they are also sold in developed countries."

"Government-run factories, exporting products to earn foreign exchange and contributing to the country, how can that be considered a mistake?"

"We have to complete the pig production targets assigned by the state every year. We can't afford to make mistakes, right?"

"I think Ai Gaofeng is quite creative and bold. If we follow his ideas, we might be able to solve these problems."

Zheng Guosheng sneered, "Hmph, do you think these products will even sell? Will the higher-ups give us that many quotas?"

The Industry Secretary smiled and said, "Secretary Guosheng, why don't we give it a try first? Let them try it out. Don't expand the scale too much all at once. Once the product is ready, we'll try to sell it. If it's popular, we'll expand production and ask the government for more quotas. If it's really not working, then we won't expand production and will maintain the status quo."

"If we only produce a small amount, even if we digest it internally, it won't be a big problem."

"For such a large country, the demand for various products is still quite large."

Seeing that Zheng Guosheng was about to object, Bian Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "I think Comrade Jianguo's suggestion is worth considering. Why not let them give it a try?"

"Just sell everything you produce to the state. With unified purchase and sales, there won't be any problems."

"Comrade Jianguo, keep an eye on them and don't let them get away!"

Industrial Secretary Huang Jianguo hurriedly nodded in agreement.
