This began the formal negotiation process of implementation details. Under the chairmanship of Chen Xiaobing, both parties began to implement specific implementation.
This batch of private bidding projects for "diffusion of production capacity" adopts a "one-on-one" model. That is to say, each project has an enterprise under the Senate for corresponding implementation.
The specific factory site is located in Nansha. Chen Ding and Chen Lin plan to take this opportunity to use the influence of the Australians to squeeze out the annoying Chen Xuan from the center of power in Nansha.
Wu Yijun said that he purchased hundreds of acres of sandy land in Nansha, which can be used to grow cotton. The uncles and nephews of the Chen family also patted their chests and said that Nansha belongs to the Chen family, and there will be no obstacles in growing cotton, opening factories, or building canals.
"Our Chen Lin is still the direct grandson of the eldest son of the clan, and he must be the future clan leader. The choice of the factory location in Nansha is a sure thing."
Lishan didn't know the little Jiujiu in their hearts. He heard their talk and heard that it was in Xiangshan County - the same county where Li Yaoer went to improve silk. He felt that the conditions were suitable and approved the site selection.
The two parties also agreed on a relevant schedule, including a series of details such as worker training, technical guidance for civil construction and the arrival time of relevant infrastructure personnel. Finally, a "Memorandum of Cooperation Agreement for Nansha Cotton Mill" was initialed.
According to this agreement, the cotton textile factory will enter the preparatory stage in March, and then start civil construction and equipment installation, striving to start operation in the autumn of 1637. Specifically, the Chen family's uncle and nephew will complete the preparation of land for infrastructure construction in Nanshan in March.
Chen Ding took the opportunity to propose that he hoped that senior cadres or senior naturalized cadres would be present to help with this matter.
"Leave it to Chen Xiaobing." Li Shan understands what these people are thinking. It is true that the Chen family is very powerful in Nansha, but the family may not be monolithic. It is hard to say whether a young man like Chen Lin will be able to hold his ground when the time comes. Considering the various troubles that occurred in the local area during the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, it is reasonable for them to have such a request. Express your stance immediately.
"...He is your counterpart, you can go through him for all related matters. As for us, we will visit you every now and then."
"Thank you, chief." The uncle and nephew of the Chen family looked at each other, and it was now time to see if Chen Xuan dared to be so arrogant!
"In addition, we have also selected the technical cadres who will assist you here. Since you are here today, you should all meet and get to know each other."
Not long after, four young men and women came in from outside the door. They all wore the same "cadre uniform." One of them is the girl who brought them tea just now.
As soon as the girl came in, she pulled the other girl's sleeve. The two looked at the uncle and nephew of the Chen family, and immediately looked at each other and laughed.
The Chen family's uncle and nephew suddenly realized almost at the same time: Aren't these two girls coming to Gao in the same boat as them?
Because they were all wearing student uniforms at the time, but now they were wearing "cadre uniforms", they didn't even recognize them for a while. Meeting here at this time, the uncle and nephew both remembered the comment of "old pervert" and felt a little embarrassed.
"Let me introduce you." Lishan introduced, not knowing that they had such a past, "These are students studying in a textile school. This year is their last school year, so they will be arranged to intern in your factory." Then he introduced, "These are the future shareholders and general managers of Nansha Textile Factory."
As he spoke, he introduced each of them one by one. Only then did Chen Lin know that one of the two girls was named Li Tang and the other was An Jiu. There is also an older one named He Xiaoyue. The only boy was tall and thick, with a fleshy face. It is quite rare locally.
The three girls majored in textile engineering, while the boys majored in mechanics. The group composed of these four people will be the "resident support group" of the Nansha Textile Factory in the future.
At this time, someone suddenly came over and whispered a few words in Lishan's ear. Li Shan frowned and said, "Is there still such a thing?" After saying that, his eyes fell on Chen Lin's face.
Chen Lin shivered with fright, wondering if the incident of being falsely accused of molesting women had happened again? Could it be that the woman went to the police station?
Li Shan didn't ask anything. After a brief introduction, he called An Jiu out. After a while, he called out Li Tang as well. Even so, Chen Lin still felt uneasy.
After a long time, Li Shan reappeared. He said apologetically: "I've wasted everyone a lot of time. It's getting late. I'll rest here for the night and send you back tomorrow. Zou and I will be there soon. The elders will also host a banquet to entertain several people. If you have any questions, you can feel free to speak freely during the banquet."
This is also the right thing to do, and the visiting group immediately agreed. The waiter here brought them refreshments. A few people walked all afternoon, and their stomachs felt empty, so they immediately started to taste Australian tea.
Chen Lin had just put her mind at ease when Chen Xiaobing came in from outside and said that the chief asked him to come.
"Please me?"
"Yes, please come over. I have something to ask you."
"Okay, I'll come right away." Chen Lin thought to himself that this was something that was inevitable and could not be avoided. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Chen Xiaobing out and into a small room next to him.
An Jiu and Li Tang, whom I saw just now, are also there. Chen Lin was startled. If it was that case, what did it have to do with the two of them?
"Chief..."
Lishan nodded at him, asked him to sit down, and asked:
"The afternoon before yesterday, did you go to a silk shop called Rui Hexiang in Bopu?"
So that’s what happened! Chen Lin thought to himself that there was nothing wrong with this matter, and he immediately said: "There is such a thing. I also bought a ruler there..."
"Later, someone came to this store to cause trouble. Is this happening?"
"Yes, yes." Chen Lin nodded repeatedly.
"Tell me the situation."
Chen Lin immediately told Master Xia that he came to ask for "Wu Niang", that he had an argument with the clerk and then beat him up, and that shopkeeper An called the police.
"...The police asked me if I would be willing to testify, and I said no problem."
"You are quite generous." Li Shan smiled.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. This is because Master Xia is making trouble unreasonably." Chen Lin said.
"So you don't know Shopkeeper An?"
"We met for the first time the day before yesterday, but we had a very interesting chat." Chen Lin suddenly remembered something, "He also gave me a famous card." After that, he went to touch his waist.
"No need, you can trust us." Li Shan was quite satisfied, "He is a good young man!"
Chen Lin was thinking about which one?
"Li Tang," he called one of the girls, "please write down what Comrade Chen Lin just said and ask him to draw a pledge. Send an express mail out early tomorrow morning."
"Good."
He explained to Chen Lin that he had just received a summons from the Magistrate's Court, asking him to go to court tomorrow to testify.
"I think you won't be able to go back tomorrow, so I'll just ask you to give a written testimony and send it over."
It turns out that this is the case. Chen Lin felt relieved and said hurriedly: "Thank you for your understanding, chief."
"Thank you for what I did. Although this case is small, it is none of your business after all. It's amazing that you are willing to testify." Li Shan said and glanced at An Jiu, "You don't want to thank this little brother Chen either?"
"Thank you, Comrade Chen Lin." An Jiu bowed gracefully.
"Huh?" Chen Lin was confused, "Well, what do you want to thank me for..."
Li Tang burst out laughing, and Li Shan also laughed. Li Tang smiled and said, "You are such a silly goose... An Jiu is the daughter of Shopkeeper An."
"Ah, ah..." Chen Lin then realized that their surname was An, "That's it!"
"It's no wonder you didn't think of it. Shopkeeper An rarely tells anyone that his daughter is studying in a textile school." Li Shan restrained his smile and said sternly: "But this time you are too shameful. If you are If someone gets it on the spot, it will be a huge commotion!”
"We didn't get it." Li Tang pouted, "Even if we are caught by them, Chief, you will help us, right? After all, this is a good thing."
Chen Lin already understood within a few moments that Master Xia's visit to investigate was not just based on false talk. The two little ladies in front of me have indeed kidnapped someone else's concubine.
"You can't do this even if it's a good thing. What did you teach in school? You must do things reasonably and legally." Li Shan sighed, "I've already told the police about this, and that's it. Don't mess around anymore!"
"Chief, we are not messing around..." Li Tang was obviously still not convinced, "Fifth Yiniang was tortured so badly. She is controlled by her family and cannot escape. If we don't help her, she will have to die sooner or later..."
"You all think you have become more capable after studying!" Li Shan couldn't help but get angry when he saw that Li Tang was still being stubborn, "It's okay for you to do this, that's because this is Lingao! It's under the rule of the Senate! And you are still students of the Senate! You are still acting so randomly outside, and you don’t even know what happened when you were betrayed!"
Seeing that the leader was angry, the two girls no longer dared to speak and both lowered their heads. Chen Lin was a little embarrassed. He vaguely felt that the relationship between Li Tang and the chief was unusual. It would be somewhat inconvenient to stay by myself any longer. I was just trying to find a reason to get up and say goodbye. Suddenly I heard Li Shan say: "Now that I have saved her, what are we going to do with her?"
"We haven't thought about this either." An Jiu said with some shame, "We just wanted to save her first and then..."
Li Tang said: "I think since she was rescued, the Senate can always give her a good home."
Li Shan smiled helplessly: "You guys are really not using your brains! She is a concubine of a wealthy family in her thirties. She has been a concubine for fifteen or sixteen years. She can't carry it on her shoulders, lift it with her hands, can't do work, and has passed her studies. During the prime time, you can tell her what to do?"
"Arrange for her to get married!" Li Tang said enthusiastically, as if he suddenly discovered something, "I heard that many local cadres and workers don't have wives..."
"Well, that's a good idea." Li Shan smiled bitterly and nodded, not sure if it was considered a compliment.
