"A car factory?"
Wang Zhihong was stunned again. He recalled what the driver had just said. His truck was produced by the Red Star Group.
"Since when did Lu 'an have such a strong industry? There was a car factory, which meant there was an engine factory? Is Lu 'an's industrial capability that strong?"
Wang Zhihong sucked in a breath of cold air. As the chief editor of a newspaper in the Jiangnan area, he knew all too well what it meant to be able to produce an engine.
If the annual output of steel was the data that reflected the industrial capability, then the ability to produce engines was the embodiment of the technological level.
The production of engines was a delicate job. It had very high requirements for the manufacturing level of the workers. If the technical level was not up to standard, it would be impossible to produce a qualified engine.
However, the truck he was sitting in now, Wang Zhihong thought, had loaded a lot of soil and soil. Its load was much higher than the trucks he had seen in Jiangnan area. Moreover, he could feel that the engine was powerful, which meant that the production technology was up to standard.
The launch technology of the CCKW military truck was not only up to standard. At present, the performance of this military truck was heaven-defying because it was a military truck that was only introduced during World War II. The US military used it until the 1960s before it completely withdrew from the stage.
This ten-wheeled military truck achieved many firsts at that time. For example, the first military truck in the United States to apply hydraulic technology to trucks. The truck body used dump hydraulic technology.
In addition, he also had powerful off-road capabilities. His off-road capabilities on the plains could keep up with the advancement speed of mechanized troops. Many times, he was even modified into an armored personnel carrier by the United States. On rugged roads, the load could reach 2.5 tons.
However, if it was on a flat road, the maximum load could reach four tons.
While Wang Zhihong was still in shock, the truck left the city. After leaving the city, the driver asked Wang Zhihong,""Big brother, where are you going? If you're curious and want to go to the industrial park to take a look, you can get off there when I pass by the southern gate later.
Some time ago, the county head established Red Star Transportation Company and built a temporary passenger transportation center outside the South City. Currently, it was operating the passenger transportation route from Lu 'an County to Red Star Industrial Park.
If you want to enter the industrial park, I don't think it will be easy, but you can look for the guard of the industrial park. If you say you want to buy some goods, the manager of the industrial park should be able to see you!”
Wang Zhihong nodded and didn't say anything else. He was still digesting what the driver had said. Ever since he entered Lu 'an, he had a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't describe it before.
But now he thought about it. The people of Lu 'an, from the innkeeper to the driver, all had a vitality that the people of other places did not have.
That's right! Vitality! The commoners in other places were worried about their livelihood all day long. They did not have any spirit, energy, and vitality. They felt lethargic.
However, everyone here was full of vitality, which made Wang Zhihong very curious about Han Bin. He wanted to know what kind of county magistrate could make the people in the territory full of vitality in just a month.
That kind of longing for the future, that kind of confidence was something he had never seen anywhere else.
On second thought, whether it was the demolition boy at the construction site or the driver now, they all had money to smoke.
One had to know that cigarettes did not seem expensive. The price of a pack of cigarettes was generally between ten cents and thirty cents. Anyway, there were expensive ones and cheap ones.
However, you have to know that this is an era where even eating is an extravagant hope. However, these young men from Lu 'an actually have money to smoke, and they don't look sad at all.
It was obvious that they were not worried about their money. Thinking of this, Wang Zhihong looked at the driver and asked casually,"Little brother, I've seen your cigarettes. Why haven't I seen them before? What brand of cigarettes are these? What price? The taste is not bad. I'll find a place to buy a pack of cigarettes too.”
The driver was not prepared for such a question. He chuckled and said,"These are the cigarettes produced by the Red Star Cigarette Factory. They were only put into production a while ago and are currently being sold in our county. If it was sold outside, it would cost about five cents a pack. It was much cheaper than the cigarettes sold by foreigners, and the taste was not bad.
The internal employees of the Red Star Group have a quota for the supply of cigarettes. Every employee who smokes will be provided with two free cigarettes per month. If they smoke too much, they will have to buy them themselves. However, we buy them ourselves at the internal price. A pack of cigarettes is only one or two cents.”
Wang Zhihong nodded after hearing that. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Han Bin was not the evil person that the newspapers had described, let alone a cruel person.
Even if he was cruel, he was only cruel to those landowners who ate people without spitting out bones. On the contrary, he could clearly feel that Han Bin was very good to both the people and his employees!
The monthly salary was three dollars, including food and accommodation. These three dollars were the net income, and there were no deductions for other expenses.
Even if employees smoked, there was a free quota. If they smoked too much, the employees would pay for it themselves. There was also an internal supply price of one or two cents per pack. What kind of price was that?
Could such a person be the brutal person mentioned in the newspapers? Why should such a good official be dismissed?
Wang Zhihong thought of the defamation of Han Bin by all the major Jiangnan newspapers, especially by his own newspaper. He felt a little guilty. He had a pen in his hand, and he was trying to slander a pro-people official who profited for the people. Was he still human?
Wang Zhihong believed that everything he saw and heard was true. Why?
Other than Lin Xin, no one knew that he was a reporter. He did not go to see Han Bin and the others, and no one would put on a show for him. All he came into contact with was the most authentic side of the lowest class.
Thinking about the support the people had for Han Bin, all of this was happening in front of his eyes!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhihong couldn't help but secretly make a decision. When he returned, he would definitely write a report in the newspaper to clear Han Bin's name and clear Han Bin's name. Such a good official who was close to the people shouldn't be condemned by everyone.
Just as Wang Zhihong was thinking, the driver stopped the truck and said,""Big brother, we're here. This is outside South City. Do you see the place where more than 20 buses are parked in the distance? That was the temporary bus station. You could take the bus to the station outside the Red Star Industrial Park. The bus to the Red Star Industrial Park would leave every 30 minutes!”
Wang Zhihong looked up and saw more than 20 buses parked about 200 to 300 meters away from him.
"Good! I got it, little brother. Thank you!”
Wang Zhihong thanked him with a smile and got out of the car. He brought Lin Xin to the temporary bus station in the distance!
