Nineteenth Section Concept of Economic Small Districts

  Ye Zhenran also recognized that the software environment of an economic zone is more important than its hardware environment. After Deputy Director Wu finished speaking, he said: "We are a township-level economic zone, what can we compare with others? The hardware facilities, the scale of the zone, and the maturity of the zone cannot be compared with county-level or municipal-level development zones. We can only work hard on the software environment to make enterprises satisfied with our services, so that they will settle in the zone."

  Second, the positioning of our economic zone should be mainly a registered economy-based zone, with private entrepreneurs as the main target. Our economic zone should become an incubator for small enterprises, helping and supporting their growth, and implementing preferential policies in terms of taxation and services.

  Third, we need to move out of Changsha and set up windows in the urban area of Ji'nan City to expand publicity, establish offices, and provide services to private enterprises in the urban area of Ji'nan City. This way, small and medium-sized enterprises in Ji'nan can settle in our park for tax payment and business handling.

  Ye Ziran elaborated on the positioning, service objects and preferential measures of economic small zones, like a whirlwind blowing into the venue, all personnel were amazed.

  No wonder he became deputy county head at such a young age, it's really impressive.

  Liu San, deputy director of the economic zone, said excitedly: "Ye Chang's instructions are very timely, and the three methods have hit the pulse of our zone. By improving services, setting up offices in the city, and offering tax incentives, once these measures are implemented, our zone will definitely become one of the top economic zones in Changsha County."

  "Three measures, you first discuss the first two, how to improve services? To set up an office in Jiannan, who needs to go? How to implement it? As for tax incentives, the township party committee and government need to discuss and come up with specific rules before implementing them." Ye Zhenran saw that all the people in the community were mobilized and took the opportunity to make a request.

  Shen Rong raised his hand and said, "Ye Chang, Director Liu, I am willing to go to the Jianan office to work and strive to make entrepreneurs in the Jianan urban area choose the Ma Shi Township Economic Zone first."

  "I'd also like to go." The hand raised belonged to a new student who had just been assigned to their class.

  In a warm atmosphere, everyone spoke one after another and made suggestions, making the three measures more specific and concrete.

  "Wu Deputy Director sighed: "Ye Chang, you're really something. As soon as you took office, you changed the spiritual outlook of this small district. I believe this economic district will quickly move up to the next level.""

  Guo Qun, the propaganda committee member of the township party committee who accompanied Deputy Director Wu to the symposium, also nodded frequently, expressing his approval: "Ye Chang is young and promising, he is the future of our town."

  Ye Ziran smiled and said: "Two leaders, don't praise me to death. Let's finish this and have dinner together later. Qin Secretary and Wang Secretary will also be attending."

  After the meeting, looking at the time was almost up, a dozen people from the economic district went to "Wangshan Building" together. On the second floor of the large package room, they sat down in two tables and had just ordered food when Secretary Qin, Deputy Secretary Wang, and Township Party Committee Organization Commissioner Pan Qiu-sheng, and Deputy Township Head Cheng Guang arrived.

  Secretary Qin grasped Deputy Director Wu's hand and apologized repeatedly: "I'm late, it was wrong to keep the county leaders waiting."

  Wu Deputy Director punched Qin Secretary on the shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Old Qin is not being thick-skinned again, here you have the highest official position, deliberately making me feel inferior?"

  They seem to be quite close, judging from their affectionate behavior.

  Secretary Qin smiled and said: "How dare I? Old Wu, Li Xiangzhang is asking for a leave of absence from you, he won't be able to come tonight because something has come up."

  "It's just that I don't have enough face." Deputy Director Wu said nonchalantly, and then shook hands with Vice Secretary Wang and the others one by one.

  Yezhen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, it seems that the discord between Secretary Qin and County Head Li has been known to everyone in the county, otherwise, Deputy Director Wu wouldn't have spoken so lightly on such an occasion.

  "Come on, sit down and have a drink." Secretary Qin invited everyone to take their seats.

  Everyone sat down in a circle, Wu Deputy Director being the county leader naturally took the main seat, with Qin Secretary and Wang Deputy Secretary on either side. Ye Zhenran sat next to Cheng Deputy Township Head. Qin Secretary first raised his cup and said: "Come, let's first thank Director Wu for guiding the economic zone's work in the countryside."

  "Thank you," said Director Wu with a smile all over his face. "Secretary Qin, your team is getting stronger and stronger. Mayor Ye's speech in the community this afternoon was very wonderful, and the methods are also practical. I think Mashixiang Economic Zone will soon be among the best in the county."

  "That's all thanks to Director Wu's guidance and the clear direction of the township party committee. If it weren't for your leaders' help, my work wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Ye Zhenran knew these people were all seasoned officials, and he said this calmly.

  As soon as this was said, the smiles on Secretary Qin and Director Wu's faces blossomed like flowers. Even Wang Jingyu, the deputy secretary of the township party committee, gave him a deep look, with a hint of profound meaning in her eyes.

  After the first cup of wine, the conversation opened up.

  "Director Wu, you're well-informed about county news. Do you have any updates on the 'two Lis'?" asked Organization Committee member Pan Qiu Sheng.

  As time went on, various versions of the "two Lis" rumors emerged. After fleeing to Hejiang Province and killing three people, there had been no accurate news for 20 days. The more this happened, the more severe the panic psychology of the common people became, and all sorts of bizarre legends emerged. For a time, it seemed that traces of the two were discovered everywhere in the country, but the messy information only increased the workload of the public security department. According to the latest reward from the Ministry of Public Security, anyone who accurately provided clues about the "two Lis" would be rewarded with 50,000 yuan, double the previous reward amount, making it the largest reward since the founding of the country.

  "Many places across the country reported finding traces of the two, but after verification, they were all false alarms. No wonder they are special forces, too cunning." Director Wu said.

  "Yes, the more cunning they are, the greater the danger. What's more, those two have been ruthless and have already taken over a dozen lives." Deputy Secretary Wang said with concern.

  "I found that the main harm of 'two Lis' is to disturb people's minds, making the whole nation anxious. However, now that the central government attaches great importance to this case, the public security department will tighten its net, and I estimate that their time for jumping around will not be long." Ye Zhenran said.

  "Stop talking nonsense, Director Wu is your guest, show some respect to Director Wu." Secretary Qin interrupted Ye Zhenran.

  Ye Ziran hastily stood up, raised his cup to Director Wu and said: "It's only right, I toast the county leaders. Director Wu, the secretary has spoken, it was my fault for being slow. In that case, I'll drink two cups in a row to show my apology." After finishing speaking, he downed two cups.

  "Good," said Director Wu with a smile: "Wine reveals one's character, and Xiao Ye has a good character, he has a promising future."

  Another round of clinking cups and lively chatter. Everyone was drinking with great excitement, and the atmosphere gradually became more intense.

  Vice Secretary Wang raised his glass towards Director Wu and said: "You're the leader and I'm the subordinate, you say when to come and go."

  Everyone looked up at Director Wu, waiting to see how he would respond.

  Director Wu narrowed his eyes and his tongue was a bit bigger: "Drink less at night, don't drink too much, so that your wife won't be searching all over the streets."

  In the midst of the noise, Ye Zhen's heart was still thinking about the textile factory. Deputy Director Cheng had always been in charge of industry and must be familiar with Hu Weizhong. When the wine reached halfway, he found an opportunity to ask Deputy Director Cheng: "Director Cheng, I went to the textile factory yesterday to hold a meeting. The textile factory is currently facing many difficulties, and my rectification work is difficult. Do you have any advice?"

  "Yechang, you're a top student at J University, I'm sure you've already got everything figured out." Deputy Director Cheng chuckled.

  "The factory may be small, but the overall quality of its personnel is too low, and it lacks market competitiveness. Since Cheng has been in charge for many years, he must see through this more clearly than I do." Ye Zhenran didn't let him off.

  "Hu Weizhong still has some small ways to go, if the textile mill is to be done well, it must rely on him or move him away." Deputy Director Cheng said a practical word.

  "Hu Changzhang has low prestige among the workers, but seems to have a lot of say in the factory leadership team." Ye Zhenran expressed his inner doubts.

  He is a factory director fully trusted by Li Chang, and naturally has weight in the team. Deputy Director Cheng nodded.

  No wonder.

  In that case, we must do our work more carefully and realistically. It seems that we need to take care of Zhang Liren and Liu Bing. Ye Zhenran thought that in the rectification of the textile factory, he might have a confrontation with Li Xiangzhang.

  After two days of continuous investigation and evidence collection, Zhang Liren brought back first-hand materials.

  Here is the translation:

  The story goes like this: Huang Pu's sister, Huang Ruhua, was raped by Hu Changzhang and returned home to cry to her husband Liu Ahuo. Liu Ahuo went to find Hu Weizhong to settle accounts, but Hu Weizhong brazenly claimed that it was Huang Ruhua who had seduced him, and if the matter were to be exposed, not only would Liu Ahuo's reputation be ruined, but there would also be no good outcome. Liu Ahuo was originally a timid person, and after hearing Hu Changzhang's words, he retreated a bit. With Hu Changzhang's tactics, it was easy to deal with Liu Ahuo, who was satisfied with the promise of being hired as a repair worker at the factory. Huang Ruhua saw that her husband was afraid to speak out and also endured in silence. Later, Huang Pu discovered his sister's abnormal behavior, learned the reason, and immediately became furious. Pu had his own way of solving problems, rushing into the factory and beating Hu Weizhong violently, then waiting for the police station to arrest him before revealing the whole story.

  Liu Bing's investigation process was also relatively smooth. After finding Huang Ruhua, Huang Ruhua cooperated very well and detailed the whole incident, saying that several other female workers in the factory might have had similar experiences. Liu Bing then followed up and found three more female workers in their thirties who admitted to having been sexually harassed by Hu Weizhong multiple times, using intimidation and bribery, and threatening them after succeeding.

  What can be tolerated and what cannot! A small town factory director, actually behaving so outrageously.

  "If the surname is Cao, if the ancient 'palace punishment' were preserved until now, it would be better to let Hu Weizhong taste it first." Ye Zhenran only felt that the nerve endings on his face were stimulated by a sense of justice and jumped restlessly.

  "Drag him in and let him taste the iron fist of people's dictatorship first." Zhang Liren stretched out his hand to gesture, also extremely indignant.

  "Let's report to Secretary Qin first and go together." Ye Zhenran thought for a moment and said to Zhang Liren.

  "Alright, let's report to Secretary Qin first." Zhang Liren agreed with his idea.

  In such cases, the police station can directly file a case and transfer it to the procuratorate after investigation. Considering that Hu Weizhong is the director of the township-run factory, although he is not an official within the system, reporting to the township party committee first is a safe approach.
