Chapter 71: The Poor but Lively Municipal Broadcasting Station (Part 3)

  The sales problem is the most serious issue facing the municipal motorcycle manufacturing plant. Now it's an era where good wine isn't afraid of being in a deep alley, and the severe contradiction between supply and demand makes manufacturers not worry about selling their products at all. Even if the quality is slightly worse, it doesn't matter. This is also why the municipal motorcycle manufacturing plant's products are so bad but can still barely maintain itself with a portion of financial appropriations. However, now the task given by the city to Lin Hongfei is that he must turn the municipal motorcycle manufacturing plant around from loss to profit, and thus sales problems have become the biggest difficulty.

  Dongfang Xiaoling studied accounting and has no idea about sales, completely unaware of what to do.

  Dongfang Xiaoling didn't know what to do, but for Lin Hongfei, this was simply the best era for businessmen. What could be more welcome for a businessman than seeing a seller's market? However, Dongfang Xiaoling's concern still moved Lin Hongfei deeply, "Don't worry, it'll just take these few days and we'll know soon."

  ————————————————————————

  "Hongfei, just now Wang, the deputy director of the Broadcasting Bureau, called and said that they have an account over there that is not easy to reimburse from their side. He hopes we can take care of it from our side. What do you think we should do?" Dongfang Xiaoling rushed in hastily, somewhat annoyed, and said to Lin Hongfei.

  "Deputy Director Wang of the Radio and Television Bureau?" Lin Hongfei furrowed his brow, what's wrong with the news department that they can't report expenses properly? It's clear that this sum of money from the factory has made many people jealous, and after holding it in for so long, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and wants to come up and take a bite. "What's this guy's background?"

  What is meant by "what's this guy's background" is not asking Dongfang Xiaoling about Deputy Director Wang's background. As Lin Hongfei, a insider in the government, would he be afraid of a deputy director from the Municipal Radio and Television Bureau? What a big joke! What Lin Hongfei fears is that he might mistake the target. If this Deputy Director Wang happens to be someone on Secretary Dongfang's side, things could get complicated. Before deciding what strategy to take, he must first figure out which side this Deputy Director Wang is on.

  Dongfang Xiaoling is a very qualified "think tank", who is very familiar with the situation of big and small leaders in the city. When it comes to this Vice Director Wang, she suddenly shows a face of disgust, "This Vice Director Wang... hmm, I have a classmate who is in our broadcasting bureau, and I heard that this Vice Director Wang has unclear relationships with several female anchors from the municipal TV station, two of whom are already married."

  "It turned out to be this matter." Lin Hongfei suddenly laughed, "Alright, let it go over there, don't bother with him."

  A guy not from Beiguan City, who clearly knows that the mayor of Beiguan City is in charge here at the motorcycle manufacturing plant, actually dares to openly ask the plant for reimbursement of expenses that should belong to their own unit... This guy's guts are a bit too big!

  "Really don't care about him?" Dongfang Xiaoling furrowed her brow upon hearing this, "This isn't quite right, is it? I think we should severely punish that guy instead."

  "Huh? Why?" Lin Hongfei was somewhat puzzled. Before Lin Weiguo went to Shunqiang City to take office, he specifically taught Lin Hongfei some ways of being an official and getting along with others. He told Lin Hongfei that working in a state-owned enterprise and in the military system were different, but working in a state-owned enterprise and mixing with officials was actually the same principle - one must always be kind to people, otherwise someone might stab you in the back. Lin Hongfei also deeply agreed with this.

  With Lin Weiguo's half-baked official level, combined with Lin Hongfei's previous mistakes and being deceived, it can be imagined how Lin Hongfei has been thinking lately. However, Dongfang Xiaoling clearly told him that this kind of thinking is not right!

  Lin Hongfei was very humble, knowing that Dongfang Xiaoling had been influenced by these things in the officialdom since childhood. If it's about business, this girl can't compare to herself, but if it's about experience in officialdom, she can't catch up even if she flatters.

  "This logic is actually very simple, this thing must be someone behind the scenes manipulating it, otherwise, this Vice Director Wang clearly knows that the reform work of the municipal motorcycle factory was promoted by my father in the back, he is just a small deputy department-level cadre who can't even reach our level, how dare he come to us for benefits? It's obviously someone's pawn trying to test your reaction. You let them succeed this time, and next time we don't know how big their appetite will be...". Speaking of this, Dongfang Xiaoling took a deep breath, "And if you back down this time, do you think my father, who has always supported you and stood up for you, will think?"

  "Hiss~~" Lin Hongfei took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that Dongfang Xiaoling's words were quite reasonable. Obviously, the city government had helped the motorcycle factory with a loan of 200 million yuan, but if it was extorted by a small deputy department-level official without any reaction, wouldn't it be seen as weak? What if it was a full department-level official? How would you handle it then? Wouldn't there be endless trouble in the future?

  Lin Hongfei, who was almost a political rookie, only then realized that behind Wang Deputy Director's actions, there was actually such a huge conspiracy hidden.

  Dongfang Xiaoling is the princess of the mayor of Beiguan City, and her workplace, the municipal motorcycle factory, is a regular department-level unit with the same administrative level as the Municipal Radio and Television Bureau. Everyone is at the same level, so the motorcycle factory can simply ignore the summons from the Radio and Television Bureau. If Lin Hongfei was threatened by a small deputy director who couldn't even touch his head, where would Lin Hongfei put his face? From now on, don't even think about taking a step in the city.

  Or to put it more bluntly, where would Secretary Dong's face be placed?

  Although Lin Hongfei is a standard political rookie, there is one thing he is very clear about: in other people's eyes, he is the representative of Secretary Dongfang. His every move to some extent represents Secretary Dongfang's attitude towards the municipal motorcycle factory. If he shows weakness this time, wouldn't it be perceived by everyone that Secretary Dongfang is using this method to give everyone "welfare"?

  This not only goes against the original intention of Dongfang Secretary, but also pushes Laozi into the fire pit!

  Lin Hongfei was suddenly annoyed! Numbskull! Dare to play tricks on me?

  "Is that so..."

  Lin Hongfei nodded heavily, and indeed, family education is just that. These principles, if not explained by Dongfang Xiaoling herself, would have been difficult to understand no matter how much thought was put into it... Having lived for two lifetimes, Lin Hongfei had only just understood this principle. "Xiaoling, inform the Municipal Radio and Television Bureau about this matter and ask them what's going on? How can they not even reimburse their own comrade's expenses?"
