Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

On New Year's Eve, the wealthy eat dumplings, meat, and drink fine wine.

No money...

With that sullen, condescending face, he was content with nothing more than a few sarcastic remarks.

Yang Jianguo, with his foresight and limited power, steered the direction of the reform.

This prevented the tragedy of female workers going hungry, unable to support their children, forced to sell their bodies on the streets, and suffering mental anguish.

But this couldn't change the fact that the women from the east were heading south, pouring into the dazzling and decadent "Heaven on Earth."

Making money, making a lot of money, has become everyone's slogan and belief.

This isn't necessarily a bad sign; it's just that they're too poor, terrified of poverty.

The successive disasters and repressions, when suddenly released, naturally result in a wild and out-of-control state.

Therefore, there's nothing wrong with temporarily focusing on money.

If we don't look to money, there will be no future for the mainland and no mainland speed.

The sudden change made Yang Jianguo feel slightly uncomfortable.

He didn't like that 'familiar' environment and was inherently resistant to this change.

But he knew that the tide had turned.

He only needs to do his job well and ensure the continued correctness of the reform.

If the motherland will no longer lack core technologies and scientific intelligence in the future, then his life will not have been in vain.

Upon arriving at the office, Yang Jianguo immediately called his two secretaries, Wu Mei and Han Xi, to his side: "Is the opinion report ready?"

"Boss, everyone still has some concerns. Right now, the local authorities are also racing against time to make money and achieve results."

As you yourself said, basic industrial software requires large investments and has a slow return on investment. Would this place be willing to invest in it?

Yang Jianguo tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Tell them that the funding for basic industrial software over the next five years will not be less than 5 million."

"Hiss~" Wu Mei gasped and covered her mouth with her hand.

5 million? Are you crazy?!

Han Xi, who had been following him around for the past two years, was also startled, but she managed to control her emotions and didn't show it.

Yang Jianguo didn't say anything, but he was very satisfied with her performance.

These past few years of running alongside myself have been worthwhile.

At the same time, I made a firm decision in my heart: it's her.

Yang Jianguo plans to hand over the funding approval authority for basic industrial software to her.

In other words, in the future, any locality that wants money will have to submit its project to her for approval before it can successfully receive funding.

Like Tang Youshui, he was a typical example of someone with low rank but great power.

This position is truly a lucrative one.

If you want to take kickbacks, you can easily make millions.

If you're greedy enough, filling a wall with this stuff over a few years isn't a problem at all.

Therefore, he doesn't really trust ordinary people.

Han Xi is different; firstly, her family background is extraordinary.

I can't say about other things growing up, but at least my material conditions were quite good.

Money held little allure for her.

Furthermore, her family background meant she wasn't afraid to offend people.

With Old Han around, she has nothing to fear about offending people; it should be the other way around, with others afraid of offending her.

Anyone who tries to put on airs, talk about status, or rely on their father's connections with her will be rejected.

Haha~

Thinking of that scene, Yang Jianguo felt sorry for the other person.

Not to mention in the local area, even in the entire city of Beijing, there are few who can rival her.

As for those few princes, they were raised with strict family discipline.

If they dare to do this, Han Xi won't need to tell their parents.

The next day, the person disappeared; they were either sent to the countryside or locked up in solitary confinement.

Before that, he would have to endure a severe beating.

You shameful thing! The country that my comrades and I fought and risked our lives to win back was not for you to lord it over.

Believe it or not, I'll drag you to the shooting range like a little pig and make you eat peanuts.

The older generation, with their noble spirit, truly embodied the word "public servant" in their very bones.

Being an official is not about wielding power, but about taking on responsibility.

Officials are public servants, serving the country and the people, not people who lord it over others.

Anyone who thinks that becoming an official means they can trample on the people, oppress them, act arrogantly, and put on airs is wrong.

Then his term as an official has come to an end.

Therefore, within this small territory, it's truly difficult to find a person with a powerful background who would give Han Xi pause.

After years of observation, Yang Jianguo recognized her work and abilities.

That's why I thought of entrusting this task to her.

"Xiao Han, what do you think?"

Yang Jianguo dismissed Wu Mei and spoke with Han Xi privately.

He acknowledges Han Xi's abilities, but Han Xi also needs to acknowledge her own abilities and have the confidence to take on the job.

How can you do something well if you don't even have confidence in yourself?

Moreover, Yang Jianguo's requirements for her went far beyond simply 'doing a good job'.

We must not only do it well, but also do it exceptionally well.

There will definitely be people in the localities who engage in fraud; you don't even need to think about it to guess that.

Han Xi needs to carefully screen investments to determine which ones are truly worth investing in.

Which ones are just there to fill positions, trying to swindle money, and deceiving their superiors?

"The work is heavy and the task is arduous."

Seeing her troubled expression, Yang Jianguo calmly said, "Go back and think about it for two days, and give me a clear answer after two days."

Chapter 500 The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea to the Capital: A Profound Impression

Han Xi needs time to consider, and other departments also need time to prepare.

However, even before the official announcement was released, people had already been making calls to various places to inquire about the details.

Is there really a subsidy of 5 million? If so, we'll be rolling up our sleeves and getting involved.

Whether it works or not, let's just do it first.

Why?

That's all money. Money equals results. Only with results can you give an accountable!

Why? Tell me why.

After confirming that this was indeed the case, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Scientific Research, the Ministry of Commerce, and several other departments have already officially drafted documents.

The people below went crazy, each displaying their unique abilities.

Those with connections will use them, and those without will simply come to the door and wait for them.

He was fine yesterday, but the next day Yang Jianguo was stopped as soon as he went out.

It wasn't just one; more than a dozen were waiting for him at the door.

"Director Yang, Director Yang, I'm from Harbin. I'd like to talk to you about industrial software."

"Director Yang, we in the south are in line with international standards. We have talent and equipment, but we don't have enough money. Please talk to me first."

"Director Yang, our Chang'an is right next to our old revolutionary base, but we've always been too poor to develop. Shouldn't the higher-ups also consider the old comrades when they have good policies?"

Each has its own reasons, its own advantages, or its own difficulties.

Some people played the victim, others talked about connections and sentiments, and still others tried to build a personal relationship with him to secure a spot privately.

Yang Jianguo ignored them all and said sternly, "Whatever it is, come to the office at work and talk about it. What kind of talk is this?"

"Since everyone is here, I will set aside some time today to listen to your difficulties and competitive situations. Please don't crowd here and disrupt public order."

Seeing Yang Jianguo's unfriendly expression, the crowd awkwardly made way.

Some smart people would just turn around and leave, saying, "Why don't we talk in the office?"

With so many people, I have to go and save myself a seat first.

Seeing someone slip away, others immediately reacted and followed.

Then a group of people rushed out shouting: "Three-wheeled vehicles, taxis, cabs..."

Various attempts were made to steal or intercept vehicles, all in the hope of arriving at the Ministry of Works building one step ahead of the 'opponent'.

"Be careful, everyone." After saying this and seeing that no one paid attention, Yang Jianguo shook his head helplessly, got on the car, and rode away on the pedals.

When he arrived at his workplace, there were already three people queuing up at the entrance, including the two from the south and the one from Bingcheng.

"Boss, they said you told them to wait here, but no one is willing to sit down."

Wu Mei, who was standing guard at the door, was utterly speechless.

What's wrong with these people? Do they really need to work this hard?

As for it, it really is that serious.

This is the time to get started and exert your strength; if you take the first step, you'll be fast at every step.

If you're a step behind, you might never catch up.

Therefore, it's good to have this competitive spirit, and Yang Jianguo quite appreciates it.

But he didn't say anything on the surface, just nodded and went into his office.

"Boss, what would you like to drink today?" Wu Mei asked.

He sometimes drinks tea, sometimes plain water, although the Ministry of Works provides coffee and other beverages.

But Yang Jianguo never touches foreign stuff; his stomach can't handle it.

"Water, bring a few cups here, so that those who come in can also have a drink and rest."

Yang Jianguo didn't even sit down before arranging the meeting to begin.

Putting on airs and acting superior is a complete waste of time.

Now that they're here, let's cut to the chase and lay everything out in the open.

Let's let our strength and facts speak for themselves. Whoever is more sincere, has more advantages, and is better prepared will get the job done.

The first ones to arrive were from the south. Don't let their thin appearance fool you; they were incredibly strong.

Or, could we run first?

"Boss, out of more than 200 companies nationwide, we account for more than 180..."

However, due to various reasons, a large-scale development strategy has not been established. Under pressure from foreign brands, all parties have been forced to engage in price wars, and many companies are on the verge of collapse.

"Our plan is to build a professional R&D park, with land allocated by the local government."

Then, step in and take the lead in facilitating the compatibility and merger of companies with highly overlapping businesses, and conduct in-depth research on the products involved.

"As long as we can support the development of leading enterprises with significant scale, they can compete with foreign companies in the market."

"This not only leaves room for downstream markets to thrive, but also promotes market competition and progress..."
