Chapter 467

Zhang Cheng said, "That's right, we've all finished. My dad's schedule for coming home lately hasn't been very regular, so it's not easy to wait for him; we can only have my mom cook for him after he returns."

It was currently the flood season, and although this year's flood peak wasn't too large, as the head of a county, the pressure on Zhang Kaishan's shoulders was unimaginable to ordinary people. He needed to go to the embankments for inspections frequently and also go down to the townships to inspect flood control work; he absolutely could not slack off for a moment.

Zhang Kaishan quickly finished the large bowl of noodles. He threw down his chopsticks and said to Su Xinghui, "Let's go, Xinghui, let's go to my study to talk."

Entering Zhang Kaishan's study, Zhang Kaishan said, "Come, tell me about the situation in Meng Hu Ling during this period."

Su Xinghui said, "These past few days, the mineral water from the Yongfeng Beverage Factory has already started production, with a daily output of several thousand cases. It has already begun to be released into the Jiangcheng market. Because we advertised on Hudong TV, the sales of this mineral water have been quite good."

Zhang Kaishan was very excited to hear this. The Yongfeng Beverage Factory was the first foreign-invested enterprise in Meng Hu Ling Township. Whether it could be run well, on a small scale, related to the poverty alleviation and prosperity of Hujia'ao Village, and on a large scale, it related to whether Meng Hu Ling Township, as a pilot unit for provincial agricultural industrialization reform, could succeed, and consequently, it related to the future of Shangjun County and even the success or failure of people like Lu Zhenghong and Gu Shanmin.

Zhang Kaishan nodded and said, "Hmm, this is a good start."

Su Xinghui said, "A friend of mine from the capital also signed an agency contract with Yongfeng Beverage Factory for the North China region, responsible for sales in that area. This friend of mine is very capable and should be able to help Yongfeng Beverage Factory open up the market in North China very quickly."

Zhang Kaishan nodded repeatedly and asked again, "How is the land acquisition work going for the two new enterprises invested in your township?"

Su Xinghui said, "The land acquisition work is proceeding quite smoothly. We should be able to finish the compensation work this month, and then we can start building the factory facilities."

Zhang Kaishan said, "You must not take land acquisition compensation lightly. You must do a good job with the masses, and it must be meticulous. You cannot let the masses have complaints. The interests of the masses are very important. We do these things originally for the interests of the masses; if we end up harming their interests, that wouldn't be good—that would be doing a bad deed with good intentions."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "You can rest assured. The cadres in the township and villages have a lot of experience in this area now, and I have also sternly told them that they are not allowed to harm the interests of the common people. I have also visited many local people to ask how the cadres' work is being done and if they have any complaints. So far, the vast majority of the people are very satisfied with the work of the cadres."

Zhang Kaishan smiled and said, "Why is it the vast majority? Why aren't all the people satisfied?"
