1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"What a surprise attack. Did they bribe our guards? They didn't even inform anyone who came in." Chen Tiezhu complained.

"Bribe what? I told him that we were going to conduct a surprise inspection, but he dared to tip him off." Gao Xiaoguang rolled his eyes at him.

"Director Hu came to my door early in the morning and told me what you talked about yesterday. It's a good idea. Let Director Hu take care of it."

"Next, I plan to take care of the small business. I'll send a notice to the lower levels later. Anyone who wants to do such a small business can sign up with the county."

"Then the county will organize the purchase. Taking everyone with me will help them get familiar with what to do. In the future, they can do it themselves. Do you think it's okay?"

"Why not? This is supposed to be a matter of help. It's already very good that the county can help organize it." Chen Tiezhu said.

"After all, many people have never left the county. You want him to take a train to the south and then carry all his things back? He doesn't even know what procedures to go through."

"Hehe, that's great. Invite your little brother over later? I'll treat him to a meal, and we can talk about this matter?" Gao Xiaoguang said happily.

Chen Tiezhu didn't even think about it, and directly picked up the phone on the table and called Zhou Fengxia.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Fengxia." Zhou Fengxia's voice came from the receiver.

"Sister Xia, this is Dandan." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

"Brother Chen, can we not make trouble?" Zhou Fengxia said helplessly.

"Hahaha, let's talk about serious things." Chen Tiezhu laughed.

"Didn't I tell you last time that our county is planning to form a group to go to the south to purchase some small things. See if you have time to come over. Our county magistrate wants to invite you to dinner."

"Brother Chen, what dinner? That's too formal. Once you have determined the departure date, I can arrange the contact person over there." Zhou Fengxia said.

"Okay, that's settled. You have to come over. Even if you don't have dinner, you have to see Dandan." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Brother Chen, it's not that I don't want to go over, but I'm really busy. Now we're starting to tear down the house and rebuild the building. When the time comes, we'll do as you said and make it better." Zhou Fengxia said.

"Just find someone with a solid background to help watch it. Who dares to fool our Mr. Zhou with such a project? I'll make a little man to deal with him later." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Well, can't I go? Please forgive me, old man." Zhou Fengxia said with a smile.

"This is for your own good. Just calling is not enough. Come to see Dandan at least once every two weeks. Otherwise, how can you two be together when you are so far away?" Chen Tiezhu said earnestly.

"The day after tomorrow, I will definitely be there. I have to make some arrangements, right?" Zhou Fengxia surrendered completely.

"Sure, it's a happy decision." After Chen Tiezhu finished speaking, he put down the phone and looked at Gao Xiaoguang, "Come over the day after tomorrow. Don't worry about the factory in the south. It's just a matter of him making a few calls."

"Okay, this is how a person who gets things done is, not dragging his feet at all. You have nothing to do, right? Let's go." Gao Xiaoguang said happily.

"Go? What are you going to do? You don't have to treat me to a meal. I'll arrange for lunch. Let's go eat mutton hotpot." Chen Tiezhu said puzzledly.

"That's still in time. I'll take you to see where the night market is going to be opened. By then, we have to arrange this matter in advance." Gao Xiaoguang said.

"I don't need you to catch me. I'm always worried about you. Dayou, come and take a walk with me. If you have any ideas, please express them." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Okay, the crew really doesn't need me today." Liu Da nodded.

He knew that this was to continue to make himself popular with Gao Xiaoguang. After all, the things he did before were really not well received.

"Let's go to the park. I plan to build one at the east gate of the park." Gao Xiaoguang said.

"Okay, then let's go to the park. To be honest, I haven't been to the parks in our county very often." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"When it comes to parks, I also have a headache. Although there are not many animals, the monthly expenses are also quite high. The ticket money collected is not enough to go anywhere." Gao Xiaoguang said.

"It's the same. Only when the county has money can these places live well." Chen Tiezhu said.

"But I think, since you can't make much money from the tickets anyway, you might as well just cancel the ticket fees. We are poor, but we have to be poor with ambition."

Listening to Chen Tiezhu's words, Liu Dayou kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his mouth.In the state of mindfulness, I regretted taking his car.

"Speak up, kid. What good idea have you come up with?" Gao Xiaoguang became more energetic.

"Like I said, we have to be poor but ambitious. Anyway, we don't make money, so we can do it for free." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Just think about it. Your status in the hearts of the people in our county has risen in an instant. Naturally, more people will stroll in the park."

"What's the use of my status rising? I would rather have no status. The staff of the park, the maintenance of facilities, and the food and drink of animals, aren't they all money?"

"Hehe, tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. This ticket is mud and can't be used to paste the wall." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"It's true that the entrance fee has been cancelled, but can we rent out a certain area in the park to individual businesses? Let them do some small business or something?"

"Whether it's selling water, setting up amusement facilities or something else, as long as it doesn't break the law and make things chaotic, then it's fine."

"Let alone anything else, when you stroll in the park in the hot summer, your throat will be thirsty. Can you have a bottle of iced soda?"

"There are so many people going in to play, how much will soda and ice cream sell for? If you add ice cream, balloons, etc., these things don't cost much, but the sales will definitely be huge."

"Eh? This is a good idea. Not to mention, if you get rid of the entrance fee and start this small business, it may really make up for the park's expenses." Gao Xiaoguang said.

"But in this case, can the park do it itself? It's not difficult to purchase goods, and the park's employees can also be redeployed, right?"

After saying that, he stared at Chen Tiezhu.

Chen Tiezhu didn't say anything, but continued to drive with a smile.

"What's wrong? Is it not working?" Gao Xiaoguang asked with a frown.

"Dayou, explain it to our leader." Chen Tiezhu said cheerfully.

Liu Dayou's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
