Chapter 461: Jiangzhou Yugong Group

Deng Changli asked curiously: "How do you solve it?"

"Temporarily confidential!" Zhou Andong got up and left, found Yao Jun, whispered a few words.

Yao Jun greeted Old Kai and Xu Ziwai, and walked quickly to the backstage, found Fang Qiao, asked for a few female comrades, and then a group of people left quickly.

Zhou Andong returned to his seat, Cheng Zhanjun asked: "Really okay?"

"Don't worry, I never do things I'm not sure about."

Deng Changli said with dissatisfaction: "You're still playing tricks on us."

Zhou Andong chuckled, but just wouldn't say, which made these leaders hold their breath. They were all guessing what method could make that group of villagers leave willingly. But thinking about it, thinking until their heads broke, they couldn't figure it out.

At ten o'clock sharp, Fang Qiao put on light makeup, wore a women's suit, took the microphone, and walked onto the stage.

The originally noisy scene became quiet instantly.

"Respected leaders, employee comrades, hello everyone!"

Fang Qiao said: "Today is January 1, 1993, New Year's Day. On this day last year, everyone was also sitting here. But the difference is, last year was watching a performance, and today, it is witnessing history."

"Clap..."

The applause sounded instantly, and it didn't stop for a long while.

"I know everyone is anxious, especially the leaders sitting in the front, so I won't say much more." Fang Qiao smiled slightly, "Below, please invite Secretary Cheng to speak."

Cheng Zhanjun walked onto the stage, took the microphone handed by Fang Qiao, scanned the audience, and said with great emotion.

"One year, only one year, the winery went from death to life, which surprised me and also made me very gratified. What surprised me was the speed of development. What gratified me was that I didn't misread the person..."

Cheng Zhanjun didn't take up too much time either, simply said a few words, and then said excitedly: "I announce, Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor Industry Group is officially established."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The applause sounded enthusiastically, and some young

Fang Qiao took the microphone handed over by Cheng Zhanjun, and only after Cheng Zhanjun stepped off the stage and sat down did she speak.

"Next, we invite Mayor Deng to announce the list of board members!"

Deng Zhangli took the list that had been given to him beforehand, went up to the stage, took the microphone, and said very straightforwardly.

"Zhou Andong, Chairman of Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor Group. Jian Qiu, Vice Chairman and President. Gu Qing, Vice Chairman, Chief Financial Officer, and General Manager of Yuxi Real Estate Company.

Qian Zhen, Vice Chairman and Factory Director of Jiangzhou Liquor Factory. Du Chunlai, Vice Chairman and Minister of the Enterprise Management Department. Gu Bing, Vice Chairman and General Manager of Brave to Explore the World Beer Co., Ltd. Man Hongshan, Vice Chairman, Director of the Technical Department, and Factory Director of Xurishang Beverage Factory!"

Now that the Jiangzhou Liquor Factory is a private enterprise, the list of board members and the appointments for leadership positions in various departments should have been announced by Zhou Andong. But since Cheng Zhanjun and Deng Zhangli both came, he had to give them some face and let them appear on stage.

Therefore, Zhou Andong thought, fine, in the past, the appointments of liquor factory cadres were all decided by you; this time, I will give you one last chance to announce the list of board members and the appointments for leadership of each department.

There are seven board members in total; of course, with the development and listing of the group, the number of board members will certainly increase.

Immediately after, Deng Zhangli announced the list of appointments for various positions in the group, and the people whose names were read by Deng Zhangli were all beaming with joy.

After Deng Zhangli stepped off the stage, it was Zuo Peiming and Dai Hongwei's turn to speak; as for the other leaders, they did not have such an opportunity.

"Finally, we invite Comrade Zhou Andong, Chairman of Jiangzhou Yugong Group, to speak."

Zhou Andong walked onto the stage, took the microphone handed over by Fang Qiao, looked at the sea of people below, and fell silent for a moment. And below, everyone was also waiting very quietly.

Zhou Andong lowered his head, walked back and forth on the stage twice, and then raised his head.

"1992 has been the most extraordinary year for our Jiangzhou Liquor Factory, for me, and for all the employees of the liquor factory.

We fell, bruised and bleeding, but we still gritted our teeth and climbed back up, facing countless questioning gazes, mockery, sneers, and even backstabbing, stumbling our way here.

This year, there were many powerful enemies who wanted to put us to death, but we were not afraid; united as one, we twisted into a single rope and used our powerful strength to defeat these enemies.

This year, with the help of city leaders and friends from all walks of life, we developed and grew, achieved good social and economic benefits, paid huge taxes to the country, and also increased the income of our employees, changing the fate of our lives."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong fell silent again: "From the moment we came into this world in a muddled state, we have all been covered by the sky and supported by the earth, with the sun and moon shining upon us. Below, we inherit the land and water of the country and the upbringing of our parents. Therefore, only by constantly thinking of gratitude and repayment can we be worthy of being the spirits of all things.

We are in the great era of reform and opening up; who else dares to say there is no way to serve the country? In literature, there are teachers who tirelessly preach and resolve doubts; in martial arts, there is our military, whose power reaches across the seas to guard the borders and defend the country.

And what we can do is to use our diligence and wisdom to build the enterprise better. To contribute to the country's economic development, scientific and technological progress, national defense construction, and the improvement of people's livelihoods.

Laozi said: The highest good is like water; great virtue carries all things.

While we develop our economy, we must not forget moral cultivation. We must let the material civilization and spiritual civilization of the people around us advance side by side through our hard work. This will be the management philosophy of our Yugong Group: to repay the country's grace and benefit the people.

Good deeds are endless and cannot be done everywhere, so let us take Yugong Group as the starting point, connecting heart to heart, hand in hand, being kind to others, with Yugong Group as the reliance and integrity as the foundation.

Giving back to society, giving back to the people, being the vanguard and role model for the people of Jiangzhou, being the backbone of the Yugong people—this is the goal that our Yugong Group will strive for tirelessly in the days to come.

Finally, I wish the leaders and comrades present, as well as your families, health and happiness, double blessings of fortune and wisdom, and a Happy New Year's Day!"

Thunderous applause erupted and lasted for a very, very long time.

At the Criminal Police Team, nearly an hour had passed, and there was no movement inside.

Bai Mao gave a wink to another young man, who nodded and shouted loudly.

"Why hasn't there been a reply for so long? Are you trying to freeze us to death?"

"Exactly!" a scrawny young man clamored: "Fellow villagers, it's too cold outside, and it's snowing; let's go to the office building to wait."

"Right, right, right!" Bai Mao began to incite, "Let's go, we're going into the office building. If they don't release the people, we'll stay here tonight."

The older ones really couldn't take it anymore, and hearing the clamor of these few guys, there was a commotion.

The expression of the criminal police officer maintaining order changed, but most of those in front were elderly people, and they didn't dare to use force.

Xing Wenbin saw this from the office, turned around, and ran out, with Zhong An following closely behind.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, they suddenly heard someone shouting outside the gate.

"Jiangzhou Liquor Factory is hiring! Whether you have a city household registration or a rural household registration, you can apply. The quota is limited; if you go late, there will be no chance left."
