Chen Dan has been preoccupied with the hotel lately, Chen Tong continues to stay at the steel factory, but goes over to help out after work; Shen Huai is concerned about the situation with the hotel every day, but only in a limited way.

  The steel mill's daily operation, Shen Hua had to keep an eye on it at all times.

  Daily management meetings and walking around the three production lines take up a lot of time, and since operations have just gotten on track, there are many things that Shen Hua doesn't dare to let go of completely, and every day there is also a large pile of documents that need to be signed.

  Although many places are feeling their way across the river, being quite bold in reform experiments on the economic system, most officials are still conservative and timid.

  Shen Huai proposed to rename the town enterprise office as the town asset management office, and its functions would also be adjusted accordingly. After all, this is just a small matter limited to the township. Unexpectedly, the county did not take responsibility and pushed the matter to the city.

  Fortunately, Tan Qiping supported Shen Hua in setting up a trial in Meixi Town. By the end of December, the town's asset management office was officially established, with Shen Hua serving as director and Guo Quan as deputy director.

  Of course, Shen Hua can also be equipped with one or two deputy hands of the same level as Guo Quanping in addition to the clerk.

  The entire town government, capable and relatively ambitious party member cadres, except for He Qing She and Guo Quan, Shen Hua has not found anyone else's performance that can satisfy him.

  Shen Hua is not willing to give up his position to some incompetent and greedy people, so he would rather put more pressure on Guo Quan.

  The company changed its name to Asset Management, which is quite simple; the main work in this period is also to sort out and check the town-owned operational assets that can be attributed to the jurisdiction of the asset management.

  The more thorough this work is done, whether it is to continue to subcontract these town-owned assets for operation or to use other schemes, the more likely it is to formulate a more accurate plan and goal, and substantially increase the non-tax revenue of Meixi Town.

  This work is mainly done by Guo Quan with three clerks who were transferred from the original enterprise, and Shen Huai also puts in considerable effort.

  The town's operating assets are mainly centered on Meixi Steel Plant.

  Even if Meixi Steel Plant has been in a mess for nearly two years, there is still a large plate with total assets of over 100 million and net assets of 400 million.

  Many towns, and even entire counties, have total operating assets that are less than those of Meishan Steel.

  In addition to the steel mill, the town's reception station, cultural station, cinema, supply and marketing cooperative, textile mill, dyeing and weaving factory, blanket factory, machinery repair factory, as well as several supporting enterprises of Meixi Steel Plant, all belong to the town's operating assets, which are basically contracted out.

  The day before New Year's Day in the afternoon, Shen Huai held the steel plant's monthly sales data that had just been released today and rushed to the town.

  He Qing stood in the courtyard talking to a young man. When he saw Shen Hua coming over, he pushed the young man aside and chased after him: "Secretary Shen..."

  Shen Huai stood in front of the stairs, waiting for He Qing to catch up: "Old He, what's going on?"

  "He Mo Lian proposed to take over the supply and marketing society; she probably didn't intercept your person, first told me about this matter." He Qing She said.

  He Ruilian did not play any tricks in the handover at the reception station, and even took the initiative to give up some benefits. He also proposed to delay part of the tail money for several months to settle down, which provided great convenience for Chen Dan to take over smoothly.

  It's said that those who take from others' hands are short-handed, and those who eat from others' mouths are short-tempered. Now, Shen Hua doesn't have any particular dislike for He Yuelian, who once tried to seduce him. It's just that he hasn't heard anyone mention He Yuelian in half a month, so when He Qingshe said that He Yuelian was going to take over the supply and marketing society, Shen Hua found it extremely strange.

  Shen Huai said: "The supply and marketing cooperative's contract is for three or four years, hasn't it expired yet? The previous contracting scheme now seems a bit outdated and chaotic, but we also have to wait until the contract expires; He Yuelian wants to take over the contract, which is impossible."

  "The original contractors were not doing well; He Yuelian was willing to take over, and they were willing to terminate the contract with the town in advance - these are He Yuelian's words, and I didn't investigate the specific situation..." said He Qingshe.

  "That's right, is He Yuelian in the main courtyard? Call Guo Quan up, and we three can listen to He Yuelian express her thoughts first." Shen Huai said.

  The business units of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives were all assigned to the jurisdiction of the Assets Office, but Shen Huai, although not having the mind or energy to socialize with other town leaders, also paid attention to maintaining his relationship with He Qing Society.

  He Qing She didn't know if He Yue Lian was still in the government compound, and saw a young Xiao Chu from the Land Department, telling him to go find someone in the big courtyard. He followed Shen Huai into the office of the Assets Management Office.

  After the asset office was officially hung, Shen Huai also moved his deputy secretary's office down; other deputy town leaders and deputy secretaries, including He Qing She and Du Jian, all have their offices on the second floor or above, only Shen Huai works in the asset management office on the east side of the ground floor of the courtyard.

  He Lian and others were not found, Guo Quanzhen heard the news and rushed back first. Seeing that there was only He Qing She and Shen Huai in the office, he walked over and asked: "I heard that the steel factory really made 200 million this month, is it true or false?"

  "What?" He Qing Society was also startled, "This month won't really have a production value of 200 million, will it?"

  "Deliberately asked Penghai Company to transport 800,000 yuan worth of threaded steel in the morning, barely making up for the sales of 20 million." Shen Hua had fresh sales data in his hand, and Guo Quan didn't ask, he would tell He Qing she anyway.

  He Qing's mouth moved incessantly, wanting to say something, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say that would be good.

  Last month, Shen Hua held a staff meeting at the steel plant and invited He Qing She and others to attend. They saw that the appearance of the steel plant had been greatly improved, but they did not expect it to change so thoroughly.

  Shen Huai took over the Meixi Steel Plant, and in just two and a half months, the monthly output value and corresponding sales volume increased by two and a half times. Not to mention other things, the incremental value-added tax alone will also increase by about two and a half times. In just one month, he exceeded the planned targets for Meixi Town's industrial added value and national taxes.

  He Qing sucked his teeth and said: "This data is reported, even if Du Secretary still wants to stay in Meixi Town to make a show of force, it's probably not embarrassing..."

  He Qing She didn't have the intention to compete with Shen Huan for the party secretary position anyway, previously he knew that Shen Huan's background was not something he could mess with, now looking at Shen Huan's ability to turn Meixi Steel Factory into gold, He Qing She is also thoroughly convinced.

  He Qing She had been thinking about what means Shen Hui would use to drive Du Jian away and grab the position of town party secretary, but he didn't expect it to be so much easier than he imagined - or was it really easy? Maybe it's just a gap in ability, He Qing She thought back to before, and he hadn't expected the steel factory's revival to come so quickly.

  "Has the profit been calculated roughly?" He Qing asked again, unable to help herself.

  Output value and sales volume go up, the increased value-added tax can only be said to have over-fulfilled the national tax target, and the local tax may increase by tens of thousands of yuan in urban and educational surcharges, which is relatively limited; if you want to benefit the town's finances directly, you still need to look at the steel plant's actual profit situation.

  "It'll take a few more days to calculate, but it should be around 30 million yuan." Shen Huai said.

  He Qingci took a deep breath, her heart racing with excitement. Unconsciously, she grabbed Shen Huai's arm and asked: "Is it true that this month's profit is 30 million? After taxes, wouldn't the monthly profit exceed 40 million? And in a year, wouldn't it be over 500 million? Ah... my god..."

  The entire Xiapu County's annual disposable fiscal revenue is just over 100 million. The steel plant alone has an annual profit of over 50 million, which is almost unimaginable.

  It's really hard to imagine that the steel plant would lose so badly before!

  "Next year's profit won't be that high." Shen Hua smiled and said.

  He knew that Du Jian's problems were big, but not as big as He Qing imagined at this time. In order to revitalize the Meixi Steel Plant, he poached Zhao Dong, Xu Wen Dao, Pan Cheng and other management and technical backbones with the most potential in the municipal steel plant. The municipal steel plant is still a large enterprise with more than ten times the number of employees as the Meixi plant, and the accumulated human resources are rich to an extent that ordinary people can hardly imagine. It's just that people like Zhao Dong were not used well in the municipal steel plant.

  "The price of rebar steel may still drop next year, and another steel plant needs to install 'dedusting' and other environmental equipment, which will greatly reduce the expected profit for next year. Currently, the target is set at around 200 million, if we can achieve this goal, it's really a blessing..."

  "Director Shen, Director Shen," He Qing Society pointed at Shen Hua, shaking his head excitedly and laughing, "You're a seasoned veteran, so 200 million is nothing to you. Look at the white hair on either side of my temples, guess why I'm worried?"

  "Why so sad?" Shen Huan asked, noticing that He Qing's temples indeed had more white hair.

  "This year, the town's tax revenue is not ideal. The agricultural tax and land contract fees are less than 70% complete, and we can't take compulsory measures against the farmers," said He Qing. "Calculating it out, we're still short of 4 million yuan in taxes compared to the county's minimum target. To be strict about it, we won't even meet the minimum target. As the town head, I'll be held directly responsible. You think I'm worried? Let me tell you, if the steel factory really makes a profit of 200 million next year, and we take 20% of that as revenue for the town, that's 40 million! How much money can Mei Creek Town allocate in a year? If we have an extra 40 million, I'll be able to do things I never dared to think about before!"

  Shen Hua smiled slightly.

  "Right, I'd like to discuss something with Secretary Shen," said He Qingshe. "This profit should be settled at the end of the year, but now the taxes need to be submitted to the county after New Year's Day. Can the steel factory advance 400,000 yuan so that the town can fill in the land tax quota first?"

  "I think it's better this way," Shen Hui said, "The town will first borrow 400,000 yuan from the credit union under other names to make up for the indicators. By the end of the year, or even next year, we can return the profit to the credit union and settle the accounts...".

  "This method is also feasible. However, we need to make the credit union believe that the steel factory is profitable in order to borrow this money." He Qing said.

  "The steel mill has an account at the credit union, and this month's fund flow situation is clear to the credit union," Shen Hua said. "If the credit union doesn't listen, I'll have the account cancelled another day..."

  He Qing shook his head and smiled, the steel plant's cash flow was enormous, possibly accounting for 60-70% of the town's credit union.

  Once the steel mill's account is withdrawn from the credit union, it means that the business volume of the credit union will be reduced by 60-70%, which also means that the director of the credit union in Meixi Town may be laid off at any time...

  Now Meixi Town Rural Credit Union has to look at the steel plant's face, and Shen Huai's words are more effective than anyone else.

  He Qing She and Guo Quanzheng were excited about the revival of the steel plant, He Yuelian knocked on the door and came in.
