Chapter 905: Three More Production Lines Added!

The next day, Tang Ye woke up early. He pulled back the curtains and discovered it was raining outside, so he suspended his plan for morning exercise and did push-ups and sit-ups at home.

By noon, the rain showed no signs of letting up.

This made Tang Ye's heart tighten; he had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Following that, it rained continuously for four days.

This stirred up quite a bit of trouble.

Due to the inadequate construction of the drainage system, severe waterlogging occurred in the urban area of Yan Prefecture City, and the buses on the road practically turned into "assault boats."

According to the weather forecast, the heavy rainfall would continue for several more days. This immediately made the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government nervous; they activated emergency plans at once and instructed all subordinate counties and districts to attach great importance to the situation, striving to minimize the losses caused by the natural disaster and doing everything in their power to safeguard the lives and property of the people.

Dayu County acted swiftly; as early as the day before receiving the notice, it had already established a Flood Control and Disaster Relief Headquarters.

County Party Secretary Ou Xiye served as the General Commander, while County Magistrate Jiang Anbang and Deputy County Party Secretary Tang Ye served as Deputy General Commanders.

The headquarters held an emergency meeting, assigned various tasks to the relevant units, and ensured they were implemented by specific individuals.

Dressed in a raincoat and wearing large leather boots, Tang Ye carried out regional inspections alongside Ou Xiye to check on the implementation of the disaster relief plans.

Walking along the way, although he was relatively satisfied with the current disaster relief work, Tang Ye still could not help but feel a bit emotional:

"Secretary Ou, we still have quite a few shortcomings in urban construction, especially regarding the water supply and drainage systems."

Ou Xiye nodded. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the murky standing water on the road and said with deep feeling: "I heard that in the neighboring counties, not only did waterlogging occur, but the flood levees were directly breached, forcing them to relocate the masses and designate areas for flood discharge. Our Dayu County has done a very good job this time. The decision you proposed earlier to set aside funds to reinforce the flood control facilities was extremely prescient."

Tang Ye responded modestly: "I was just insisting on doing it based on my intuition at the time. Everyone put in a lot of hard work to reinforce the flood control facilities, but looking at it now, these efforts were all worth it!"

Ou Xiye smiled and said: "Secretary Liu just called me to ask about the situation in Dayu County. I felt very confident and told him directly that Dayu County is fine."

Tang Ye laughed: "Secretary Liu has always been very concerned about Dayu County; we certainly cannot hold him back."

Three days later, the rain finally stopped.

The standing water in the county town was basically drained, and people's daily lives returned to normal.

Having experienced this event.

Shen Yuping admired Tang Ye even more.

As early as several months ago, it was Tang Ye who demanded the renewal and repair of all water conservancy facilities in the county.

At that time, Shen Yuping was in charge of water conservancy work. If it hadn't been for Tang Ye's advance deployment and preparation, the losses in Dayu County this time would certainly have been extremely heavy, and it would have been inevitable that countless people would be displaced and countless families would suffer huge property losses.

Liu Mingyuan flipped through the disaster reports from various places and rubbed his throbbing temples.

Although the flood had already receded, the post-disaster reconstruction work still gave him quite a headache.

But when he saw the disaster report for Dayu County, the result surprised him somewhat.

In the past, whenever Dayu County encountered a disaster, it would inevitably reach out to apply for aid funds.

But this time, Dayu County did not make any such request because the local disaster situation was controlled extremely well, and the losses were the smallest among all the counties and districts.

Liu Mingyuan immediately called for his Secretary: "Have you verified the situation in Dayu County?"

The Secretary reported softly: "It has been verified. It is understood that several months ago, Dayu County had already consolidated and repaired all water conservancy facilities in the county. This idea was proposed by Tang Ye, and a sum of money was allocated from the treasury. Dayu County took precautions before it rained!"

Liu Mingyuan nodded slightly and praised: "Tang Ye's ability is not only reflected in investment attraction, but it is also very prominent in administrative management. Using money where it is most needed can reduce a large amount of unnecessary loss; Tang Ye's judgment and execution at the time were both remarkable. During the post-disaster commendation, we must emphasize the experience of Dayu County's advance prevention and let other counties and districts learn from it."

The Secretary nodded slightly: "Understood!"

After the Secretary left, a glimmer of joy appeared in Liu Mingyuan's eyes.

Unknowingly, there were more praises than criticisms for Dayu County!

The former "tail-ender" had already quietly caught up with the team in front.

His expectations for Tang Ye were growing greater and greater.

If Tang Ye could truly successfully transform Dayu County from the inside out during his tenure.

For Liu Mingyuan,

shedding the label of a National-level Poverty-stricken County,

would be a super-convincing political resume!

That afternoon.

Tang Ye received a call from Qiao Wansen.

"President Qiao, do you have any instructions?"

Qiao Wansen's tone carried a hint of joy: "Haha, Secretary Tang, I'm reporting some good news to you! We have secured an important project. Within the next year, the Smokeless Coal Factory must produce at full capacity. Moreover, we plan to increase our investment and add three more production lines!"

Tang Ye was not surprised by this result.

After the Olympic Games ended, the country placed green development and sustainable development at a new height.

The traditional coal industry was facing a major transformation—either optimize or be eliminated!

Many coal bosses had already transformed long ago and entered other industries.

Therefore, the coal industry was about to undergo a reshuffle.

At this time, whoever seized the high ground of technology and whoever could open up the market first would take the lead.

The Dayu County Anthracite Project had previously been considered by others as a model project, empty and superficial.

But now, the market demand had given the Anthracite Project a market space that could not be underestimated.

Economic development could not be separated from energy support, and anthracite had a very high degree of compatibility with green energy.

Anthracite had naturally become a hot commodity in the energy industry.

"Congratulations, President Qiao!"

Qiao Wansen said with emotion: "I really admire your foresight. You were actually able to guess that the country would vigorously promote the anthracite industry, and you even formulated corresponding industry standards and provided industry thresholds."

"Over the past few decades, the coal industry has been developing at high speed, enriching a bunch of coal bosses, but this industry has actually reached a development trough. Since May of this year, the country's policies to rectify the coal industry have been introduced one after another, and many small coal mines will inevitably be eliminated by the market. Many coal bosses have smelled the risks and have withdrawn from the coal industry one after another, and this is precisely the opportunity for anthracite."

Qiao Wansen laughed: "In the future, if you feel there are fields suitable for investment, just tell me; I trust your judgment."

Tang Ye said modestly: "Thank you for your trust, President Qiao. Having judgment alone is not enough; one must also have a keen sense of smell and courage that surpasses ordinary people. President Qiao, your courage and sharpness are not possessed by ordinary people; they are both unique qualities and the key secret to success."

Qiao Wansen joked, "I haven't had a drink today, yet after chatting with you for a while, why do I feel so dizzy..."
