Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 977 - 646: Where to Work This Year? (3)

Secretary Wang looked stunned and asked reflexively, "Director Ge, how did your vision suddenly get so high, those words just now sounded a bit like a city leader's tone?"

"Although I'm not a city leader, I'm a Linghai person, a Linghai cadre. Linghai is not just the Linghai of Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian, it's also my Ge Weidong's Linghai! I haven't retired yet, why can't I care about the construction of my hometown!"

Old Ge spoke with conviction.

Han Yu couldn't help but laugh, thinking Old Ge, even though he's a full department level cadre retired to the second line, has been dealing with big leaders these days, so his vision, scope, and tolerance have also increased, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's reached department-level or even higher.

Secretary Wang didn't know this, and was just thinking how after just a few days without seeing him, Old Ge's words seemed different when Old Ge's voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

"Old Wang, you're also retired to the second line, not yet retired, you should improve your studies in normal times. For example, in propaganda, you need to keep up with the times and have new ideas."

"You're a senior engineer at the professor level, your level is higher than mine, come up with something new and show me!"

"It's quite simple, for example, the slogans you make are too outdated and old-fashioned."

"Alright, alright, I'm outdated, you're not, what slogan do you suggest."

"I just thought of one, I'll have Zhang Erxiao quickly arrange for someone to do it."

"What slogan did you think of?"

"Where to work this year, China Linghai Development Zone!"

Secretary Wang paused for a moment, and asked with a grimace, "What kind of slogan is that?"

Old Ge laughed, "This is also a promotional slogan, but like what TV commercials say, don't look at the ads, look at the effectiveness. Just think about it, when people see this slogan, will they be curious? Will they find it interesting? Will they wonder where Linghai is, and if working in Linghai can make money?"

"Although it's a bit crude, saying it like this does have some effect."

"That's right, we need to be practical, speak less in official jargon and formalities, and say something useful."

"Will the local leaders be unhappy if we promote like this?"

"How could they be unhappy? People are affected by disaster and need to rebuild their homes, how can they rebuild without money? If we put this slogan out, and then organize some 'boss officers' to recruit on the spot, it means we're not just supporting relief, but also helping with their recovery."

"But does the development zone have so many job positions?"

"There are plenty of job positions!"

Old Ge noticed that Old Wang might have stayed in the countryside too long, his thinking and other aspects are lagging behind, and patiently explained, "Linghai's family planning was implemented early, and is the strictest nationwide, since '76 the one-child rate is above ninety-five percent, which means most of those born after '76 are only children.

Now each family only has one child, every family is investing heavily in education, the smart ones and those willing to learn are going to school, and those who get into college probably won't come back. Those not outstanding in studies are either doing business outside or staying home to learn skills.

You call the manager of your Tianbu Construction Station and you'll know, now you can't see Linghai young men under twenty-five in the engineering team. It's the same with factories in the development zone and other townships, now it's very hard to recruit young people."

Old Ge is truly concerned for the city and the people!

Old Wang put down the walkie-talkie, couldn't resist asking, "Salted Fish, Director Ge... what's happened to Director Ge?"

Han Yu scratched his neck, unable to hold back his laughter, "Director Ge is now a member of the temporary party committee of our emergency rescue assault team, this committee member was appointed by the Guangzhou Military Region and the Yangtze Flood Control Headquarters together, it was announced personally by a lieutenant general deputy commander of the 105th Army."

"Just a few days of not seeing him, and he's become such a big shot!"

"The local party and government leaders also respect him a lot, now he oversees the party, government, and military, and on the military side, he manages the army, navy, and air force, you could say he's enjoying county-level political treatment."
