Chapter 1107 contains hidden mysteries between the lines.
Old Chen coughed a few times. He hadn't smoked in a long time, and even when he did smoke occasionally, he still choked.
The long-faced man quickly brought over the tea, and the old man took two sips to suppress his cough.
"This heavy machinery factory was established in 42, the second year after the Japanese occupied Fuzhou. The factory was built under the supervision of the Japanese. The owner was Zhong Qingfa, a native of Nanping."
This Mr. Zhong is chubby and always has a smiling face when he talks to people, but we old folks all know that he is ruthless. Anyone who has ever contradicted him has disappeared.
Some people say that Zhong Qingfa sent people to kill him, but no one saw it. Besides, in those years, it was normal for a few people to die. As long as the family was given a little money, the person's death was considered in vain.
When the heavy machinery factory was first established, I worked there as a fitter. At that time, the entire factory only had a little over a hundred people. I never expected that in just three years, the heavy machinery factory would become a large factory with a thousand people.
Some knowledgeable people say that this Boss Zhong has connections with the Japanese. Otherwise, all the other shops had been harassed by the Japanese, but the Japanese wouldn't even glance at the Zhong family's business. No one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
Jin Hai couldn't help but ask.
"Weren't these problems investigated after the founding of the People's Republic of China? Isn't it too obvious?"
Old Chen took a puff of his cigarette and said with a wry smile.
“Leader, our Minnan region is different from other places. Here, out of ten households, eight have family members living across the street. If this were investigated, there would be very few people left in the entire Minnan region. So the government is turning a blind eye.”
Jin Hai nodded silently. It seemed that the central faction's working group had arrived in southern Fujian first, which must have a profound purpose. Considering that the group leader could now interfere in personnel appointments in Fujian, Jin Hai seemed to understand...
Old Chen continued.
"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhong Qingfa immediately became much more restrained. He moved from a small Western-style house to a bungalow, and changed his clothes from Western suits to Zhongshan suits."
Our lives improved significantly after that, until the public-private partnership was established, at which point we workers truly became masters of our own destiny.
Originally, during the general meeting, it was announced that the state would send someone to manage the heavy machinery factory, and Zhong Qingfa would only be responsible for profit sharing. Initially, the leadership was quite good; he was wholeheartedly focused on managing the factory.
One day, a sudden meeting was held at the factory. It turned out that all the leaders had been replaced; Han Shuangming had become the factory director, and Liu Yuhe the party secretary. From then on, the heavy machinery produced by the factory, as well as the steel allocated to the heavy machinery plant by the state, were secretly transported to the docks and sent across the sea.
Da Bao listened intently, his chin resting on his hand. When he saw Old Chen stop, he asked a question.
How did you come to know about these things about the elderly person?
Old Chen stubbed out his cigarette, his face beaming with a smile.
“Boss, we old workers all know about these things, but what can we do about it? We all have families to support, and we just earn a little money each month to make ends meet. The leaders don’t care about these things, so why should we old folks bother with them?”
Da Bao turned to Jin Hai and said.
"Go to the Public Security Bureau right away. I need all of Zhong Qingfa's information, the more detailed the better."
Jin Hai agreed and left with Chen Huaiwen.
Da Bao stood up, walked to the window, and opened it. A damp, cold wind rushed in. Although Da Bao was immune to heat and cold, he had gotten used to the dry climate in the capital and was not used to this damp cold.
Zhong Qingfa is probably just a businessman who curries favor with whoever comes to power. If he really is a spy, even if he has corrupted the current leaders of the heavy machinery factory, the public security department will not let him go.
Located at the ends of the earth, Fujian is far from the capital and the central government. Moreover, it is the front line across the sea, so people outwardly comply with but inwardly defy the central government's documents. Da Bao understood why the boss sent him here to carry out the work. Wasn't it to break through the barriers here?
It seems that Chen Agen and Wang Qiuju's appointments tomorrow won't be easy. Da Bao laughed. It wasn't a normal appointment to begin with, so isn't it better if it's not easy? Let's see who jumps out tomorrow. Whoever jumps out will be suppressed. If no one jumps out, it doesn't matter. Isn't there still the capitalist Zhong Qingfa?
Isn't this "Five Antis" campaign specifically targeting people like him? Perfect timing to take them down together.
He beckoned the long-faced man over, and the long-faced man quickly walked over.
Dabao thought for a moment and said.
"You and Wang Qiuju can go to your new posts as usual tomorrow. The current factory leaders certainly won't hand over power so easily. But it doesn't matter. You must stand up for yourself. You are a cadre personally appointed by the Provincial Organization Department. Even the Mindu City Organization Department can't do anything to you."
Don't be afraid. I'll personally stand up for you tomorrow. But if you're timid and hesitant to take action against those bad elements, I won't agree to it.
The man with the long face was very intelligent, and he quickly asked...
"Sir, if I want to deal with these people, what limit should I go to?"
Da Bao smiled with satisfaction. He patted the long-faced man's shoulder and whispered in his ear.
"I'll give you a piece of advice, and you must remember it: treat your comrades with the warmth of spring, and treat your enemies with the harshness of winter. Tell me, are those who oppose your becoming factory director, those who defy the organization's orders, comrades or enemies?"
The man with the long face said it with absolute certainty.
"I understand, sir. These are all enemies. Tomorrow I will organize all the factory workers to criticize and denounce them, touching their souls with their bodies."
Da Bao laughed heartily and clapped his hands repeatedly. "A smart person! This is definitely an extremely smart person. You don't need to explain things too clearly; he understands immediately."
"It's still the same few demands I told you. You must agree to them and don't implicate innocent people, or you'll be the next one I deal with."
The long-legged man shivered, quickly stood at attention, and said respectfully,
"Don't worry, sir. I will never wrong an innocent person, nor will I let a bad person go unpunished."
Da Bao whispered a few more words of advice in his ear.
"Discuss that appointment list with your father, and finalize it as soon as possible tomorrow morning."
Da Bao ordered someone to send Da Changtui and Old Chen back. He returned to his office, made a phone call, and recounted what he knew about the heavy machinery factory and Zhong Qingfa.
After listening, Minister Xie simply said one sentence impatiently.
"Since we've sent you to southern Fujian, you're in charge of everything. You can do whatever you want, as long as the principles are sound to us, you have no restrictions."
Da Bao cursed under his breath, calling him an old fox. Even the order of his words was full of hidden meanings. He said first, "Do whatever you want," and then he said he had to make a reason. Wasn't this clearly telling him that after taking action, even if there was no reason, he had to create one?
Da Bao swore and hung up the phone, while Minister Xie on the other end smiled like a cunning old fox...
