109: Chapter 109 Development Achievements Showcase

Li Dakang took two steps forward, gripped Party Secretary Bi Youshan's hands tightly, and said in a resonant voice, "Hello, Secretary Bi! Welcome to Guantian Township for your inspection and guidance!"

"Your arrival has warmed the hearts of all the cadres and masses in the township; this is the greatest encouragement for our work!"

Party Secretary Bi Youshan wore a gentle smile, kindly sizing up the young Township Party Committee secretary before him. "Comrade Dakang is truly young and promising! I had long heard that Guantian Township has undergone a major transformation under your leadership, so I came specifically today to see if it's really a case of 'seeing is believing'!"

His words carried a touch of humor, and everyone present chuckled knowingly.

Li Dakang bowed slightly and responded sincerely, "Secretary Bi, you flatter me. We have simply been doing our duty in accordance with the requirements of the County Party Committee and the County Government."

"There are still many shortcomings in our work, and we especially look forward to your valuable advice and guidance, Secretary Bi."

Party Secretary Bi Youshan patted his shoulder approvingly, his eyes filled with appreciation. "Comrade Dakang, you are too modest. Taking the initiative to shoulder the burden and leading the masses to lift themselves out of poverty is the greatest achievement!"

He swept his gaze around and changed the subject, "Alright, let's get down to business. Take me to see your new changes."

"Yes! This way, Secretary Bi! Please follow me, leaders."

Li Dakang turned to lead the way, and the group first arrived at the construction site of the electronic factory project.

Upon entering the site, they were met with a bustling scene of construction: tower cranes stood densely, machines roared, and workers were busy at their respective posts in an orderly manner.

The main factory building, which had already been topped out, stood firmly, its brand-new steel structure dazzling in the sun, exuding a sense of vigorous energy everywhere.

The project manager held the blueprint and explained the construction progress to Party Secretary Bi Youshan in detail: "The first phase of the project is now 80% complete, and equipment installation and debugging will be finished by the end of next month."

"Once the project is fully operational, it will provide 1,200 jobs, and the annual output value is expected to reach 150 million yuan."

Party Secretary Bi Youshan nodded while listening, occasionally interjecting to ask questions when he heard key data.

After hearing the report, he said with satisfaction, "This project was introduced well! It not only solves the employment of the local masses but also fills the gap in our city's electronic manufacturing industry, adding new momentum to the industrial upgrading of Anjiang County and even the entire city."

"Your work is visionary and deserves to be fully recognized!"

Party Secretary Bi Youshan turned to the cadres present and instructed earnestly, "Next, keep an eye on the preparations before the project goes into production. Policy support, factor guarantees, and such matters require the municipal and county levels to work together as one."

"If there are any difficulties, you can report them directly to me."

County Party Secretary Yuan Kai immediately replied, "Please rest assured, Secretary Bi. The county has already set up a project service task force to provide precise assistance with a 'one enterprise, one policy' approach. Green channels have been opened for land approval, water and electricity supply, and other utilities to ensure the project goes into production and yields results on time."

Party Secretary Bi Youshan looked at the construction site with satisfaction, his eyes full of anticipation. "Good! I look forward to seeing the bustling scene of machines running and products being manufactured when I come next time."

After viewing the electronic factory project site, the group hurried to the Zhengjiacun Bean Products Factory.

Li Dakang knew clearly that the opportunity for the Municipal Party Committee secretary to come and provide guidance in person was rare, and he had to properly showcase the development achievements of Guantian Township.

Having spent so many years struggling in the grassroots officialdom in his previous life, Li Dakang understood one principle: in the officialdom, hard work is important, but one must also know how to showcase it.

Just like the aroma of these bean products, if no one knows about it, no matter how strong it is, it won't meet anyone who appreciates it.

If he could let the leader see it with his own eyes, he would not only gain recognition but also secure more support.

The motorcade slowly drove into Zhengjia Village, and from afar, they could smell a faint aroma of beans.

The Zhengjiacun Bean Products Factory was the largest village-run enterprise in the city, and Party Secretary Bi Youshan was no stranger to it. He had tasted the factory's tofu at a municipal agricultural product exhibition before, and the delicate texture and rich bean aroma had left a deep impression on him.

As the motorcade entered the factory area, Factory Director Zheng Hongqi of the Bean Products Factory had already lined up with his team members, waiting.

Village Party Secretary Zheng Yaoxian was also leading the village cadres, waiting nearby.

The air was filled with a strong aroma of beans, and the clean factory area exuded an air of modern management everywhere.

Li Dakang stepped forward and introduced him to Party Secretary Bi Youshan, "Secretary Bi, this is Factory Director Zheng Hongqi of the Bean Products Factory."

Factory Director Zheng Hongqi immediately stepped forward quickly, gripped Party Secretary Bi Youshan's hands tightly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "Hello, Secretary Bi! The workers were overjoyed when they heard you were coming!"

Party Secretary Bi Youshan patted his shoulder kindly, "Factory Director Zheng, you have turned a small workshop into the largest village-run enterprise in the city; this achievement is remarkable! Especially your products—I tasted them in the city and haven't forgotten them."

Factory Director Zheng Hongqi quickly said modestly, "This is all thanks to the government's good policies, and even more so, we must thank Li Dakang for his hard work in helping us. If it weren't for him helping us solve obstacles like funding and sales channels, the factory would never have reached where it is today."

During the subsequent report, Factory Director Zheng Hongqi detailed the process of the Bean Products Factory transforming from a family workshop into a modern enterprise.

He specifically mentioned that under the promotion of Li Dakang, the factory introduced advanced equipment, set strict quality standards, and registered the "Zhengjia Fang" brand. These breakthroughs at critical moments were inseparable from Li Dakang's vision and support.
