Chapter 279 Repaying Favors, Reform Expert Chen Song
Chen Song unscrewed the doorknob lock, pushed the door open, and saw the county magistrate who was writing something inside.

And on the sofa for the reception, there was a man about 45 or [-] years old. This man was wearing glasses and had a refined and thin appearance, but his eyes were very bright, and the moment he saw Chen Song, his eyes lit up.

"Boss Chen is here, please sit down." The county magistrate put down the pen in his hand, stood up quickly, walked to the meeting place, pulled Chen Song in, asked him to sit down, and made him tea.

"Is your brother's matter resolved? Are you okay?" The county magistrate pushed the brewed tea from the table and asked about Chen Song's condition tonight.

"Thanks to the county magistrate's help, the man was chased back in time, and my brother is fine. If the county magistrate hadn't communicated with the neighboring county and city in time today, and placed control on the surrounding roads, my brother might have died this time." Chen Song thanked the county magistrate.

"This is what should be done. We will never condone criminals with such a big vicious incident in our jurisdiction. As long as your brother is fine." The county magistrate also pulled a chair and sat down.

"By the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Comrade Wu Yu. He's a researcher at the National Institute of Economic Development. He was just sent to work in the provincial party committee last year. Our county just needs to reform several state-owned enterprises. Comrade Wu Yu is here."

The county magistrate also refilled tea for Comrade Wu Yu and introduced him to Chen Song.

"Hello, Comrade Wu Yu."

When Chen Song heard that the other party was from the National Institute of Economic Development, his heart was shocked. Regardless of the name in modern times, it is not well-known in later generations, but most of the economic development policies promulgated by the state basically come from this institute. It can be said that it is the think tank of the leaders.

Even this Comrade Wu Yu looks only in his 40s, so he should not be underestimated, he is definitely a big boss.

People can often meet with leaders, and even often express their opinions to internal reference or well-known newspapers. This kind of treatment definitely exceeds that of ordinary officials.

No wonder the county magistrate respects Comrade Wu Yu so much, and when he refills the tea, he still has a hint of flattery, which seems to be asking for something.

"Hello, Comrade Chen Song, I have heard about you for a long time. This time, Comrade County Magistrate invited me to the county, and I also wanted to see if I could meet you and have a chat with you."

Comrade Wu Yu is quite polite, and he doesn't have the character of a literati who is arrogant about his talents.

"You know me?" Chen Song was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this kind of think tank figure who can directly meet the leader would know himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"The founder of Jiajiale Supermarket, the pioneer of the franchise store model, right? Although your franchise store model has already been used in foreign countries, it is not easy to actually implement it in my country, and it is also in line with our national conditions. We have studied your business model in our research institute, and we are full of praise for you. I didn't expect you to be so young. You are so young and promising!"

Wu Yu said a lot of praises to Chen Song, almost killing Chen Songshe.He didn't dare to be praised so much. This business model was not really thought up by himself, but copied by later generations.

"Don't, don't, Comrade Wu Yu, don't say that, I'm just an ordinary person." Chen Song waved his hands quickly, indicating that he was not that powerful.

"Hahaha, Boss Chen, if you are an ordinary person, then there are not many ordinary people in this world." The county magistrate helped out and smiled while stroking his hands.

"By the way, Comrade Wu Yu, shouldn't you be in the capital? Why are you here?" Chen Song asked curiously.

"Some time ago, the higher-ups gave me a project, which was still a national project, and the pressure was quite high. For the first half of last year, several comrades and I traveled all over the country. Now, I was here with you during this time. It just so happened that your county magistrate comrades needed my help, so I came here."

Comrade Wu Yu replied with a smile and waved his hands.

"I thought your job was just in the office, but I didn't expect it to be so hard."

Chen Song really thought so. He thought that this group of theoretical researchers were all in offices, but he didn't expect to travel all over the country to collect stories and learn about people's conditions on the ground.

But think about it this way, if you don't go to the field, how can you formulate a policy that suits the national conditions.

"There is no way. Many things in our country have to be solved, but they are not easy to solve. There are thousands of threads. If you can't grasp the pulse, there will be problems. Once a problem occurs, it may be a big problem. No one can afford the responsibility. We are all walking on thin ice!"

The county magistrate deeply agreed with Comrade Wu Yu's words, and kept nodding while they were speaking.

"Yes! Now is an era of social change. Every aspect is changing. If it remains the same, it will be eliminated by society. Therefore, we must actively seek change, but how to change can be better and better. This is for everyone to discuss together, and this requires your policy research department to take responsibility!"

Hearing what the two said, Chen Song felt a little emotional.

After the policy is promulgated, there will definitely be a long period of pain.

Just like the spring breeze policy, it is definitely good and positive for the general direction of the country.

"I invited Chen Song here this time because I have something important to ask." The county magistrate said with some embarrassment.

"Please tell me." Chen Song stretched out his hand to signal.

"While Comrade Wu Yu was here, I had a chat with Comrade Wu Yu about the issue of educated youth in our hearts and the direction of state-owned enterprise reform last time. Comrade Wu Yu was very interested in this and wanted to talk to you. I just found an opportunity, so I invited you here. I also know that you are a busy person. I don't know when you will go to Yangcheng again, so... I hope you don't feel abrupt."

The county magistrate was a little embarrassed, but looked at Chen Song with burning eyes.

Chen Song understood it, and secretly thought in his heart that it was indeed so.

"I heard that Comrade County Magistrate mentioned the three suggestions you made last time, Comrade Chen Song, on the reform of state-owned factories. After listening to them, I was very inspired. This is very consistent with the direction of many policy researchers of our researcher. I would like to hear your specific thoughts, Comrade Chen Song. I wonder if you can talk about it."

Comrade Wu Yu raised his eyes, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He stared at Chen Song, hoping that Chen Song could explain to him.

"Comrade Wu Yu, I'm just a rough person. Those three suggestions are just random words. If you really want me to talk about it, then I'm not that material at all." Chen Song didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that he was referring to his state-owned enterprise reform plan last time.

At that time, I just threw out three theories for later generations. In fact, it was just a reform policy. The specific implementation must be based on the specific situation of the company.

"Let's talk, just say what comes to mind. Because the reform of state-owned enterprises itself is a hot issue now, there was no mature model before, and there was no reference. It was just crossing the river by feeling the stones and constantly summing up experience."

Comrade Wu Yu looked at Chen Song with encouraging eyes, which made Chen Song very embarrassed.

"I can't help it, so just talk casually." Chen Song drank a cup of tea, ready to fool around.

Comrade Wu Yu was sitting next to him, listening with his ears pricked up, and the county magistrate on the opposite side was also staring at Chen Song intently.

"In our small county town, what everyone thinks about is always the question of survival, or complaining about the low wages, reforms, and development. No one discusses these at all. Most ordinary people don't know what's going on in this country. If you ask anyone on the street, they must have black eyes and can't tell they are ugly."

"I went to Yangcheng at the beginning of this year and went to the special zone. Only in the south, everything there showed me that the country has begun to change, and it is a drastic change. Ordinary people on the road are discussing how to make money and how to make their lives better with their own hands."

"So I think that the most important reform is to reform people's hearts. It is best to let the spring breeze policy blow to thousands of households, so that everyone has this awareness to embrace the new era."

"The so-called reform is not just a change of direction by the upper-level people. We also need the participation of ordinary people. The reform of state-owned enterprises is the same. The leaders of the enterprises slap their heads and say what to do, and then the workers follow the instructions. There is no sense of ownership. We have to change the thinking of the workers, let them seek change themselves, and let them know that after the reform of the enterprise, their lives will be better."

"If you say this, is our enterprise reform still difficult? Comrade Wu Yu, what do you think?"

After Chen Song finished speaking, he immediately took a few sips from his teacup.
