Chapter 7: The Security Department must generate revenue

There are individual businesses, the family members of employees from several nearby factories, and workers from the silk weaving factory after work... fruits, various summer clothing, slippers and sandals, daily necessities, books and magazines, tapes of the Four Heavenly Kings... everything one could imagine, dazzling to the eyes

The enthusiasm is quite high

Yang Xiaomei hesitated and asked, "Director Han, Yongliang, does this count as overcharging?"

Of course, I will not agree

Then they should not set up stalls in the future; governance and rectification are necessary, and no stall is allowed. With the factory entrance quiet, public order improved, the factory leadership is pleased, and we no longer have to work overtime

According to the current duty roster, there is only one person on the night shift, stationed at the gate and unable to go anywhere. Even if they could leave for a moment, one person is not sufficient. By the time the police officers and the neighborhood watch team arrive, the petty thieves and troublemakers have long since fled.

Han Bo smiled with satisfaction and said, "Alright, you handle the work below, and I will take care of the work above. As soon as I get to the office tomorrow, I will report to Section Chief Jiang, and then we will go together to find Director Qian, striving to obtain the Shangfang Sword before nightfall tomorrow"

During the meal, Chief Jiang mentioned that there are not many people at the Chengxi Police Station. After the Economic Police Team is officially established tomorrow, the factory's communication room will simultaneously become the People's West Road Police Office, assisting the Chengxi Police Station in maintaining social order in the area of the Silk Weaving Factory.

The night market is located at the factory gate, and many of the victims are employees of this factory. The Security Department should take charge of this matter. As the team leader, Wu Yongliang also wishes to take charge, but he still shakes his head and smiles bitterly, saying: "Section Chief Han, the staff of the Security Department are demobilized soldiers, not active-duty soldiers. Out of ten people in the county, only Xiao Yan is unmarried; whose family doesn't have some issues? Who would be willing to work overtime without extra pay?"

Han Bo weighed the situation and then said: "Yongliang, Sister Yang, after changing clothes tomorrow, please have the two team leaders from the dyeing and printing branch and the garment branch stay behind for a meeting. Let's discuss and adjust the duty schedule based on the actual situation, ensuring that there are 4 people on duty at the main factory from 7 PM to 12 AM every day. One person will guard the main gate, and three will patrol between the main gate and the west gate. The hotel is either occupied by clients or leaders, so we must ensure the safety of both guests and leaders.

The hotel is either occupied by clients or leaders, so we must ensure the safety of both guests and leaders. Additionally, we need to take into account the night market to ensure the safety of our factory employees and the public's life and property."

Han Bo smiled and shifted his attention to a few young people at the street corner, one with a buzz cut and two with long hair, dressed in flamboyant attire, wearing flip-flops, and holding cigarettes in their mouths, their gaze wandering among the pedestrians, particularly lingering on the beautiful young women.

The vendors include employees and their family members from the factory, and many employees from the factory are visiting the night market; it is necessary to manage this situation appropriately

Han Bo pondered for a moment and confidently stated: "The funding issue is not difficult to resolve. If others can generate income, we can do the same. After changing our attire tomorrow, we will go out to manage traffic. No stalls are allowed in the middle of the road. The area beyond the curb is our service company, and this side is the factory area; it is all our territory. The security department is not a police station and does not have the authority to collect public security joint defense fees, but it can collect sanitation cleaning fees. Each stall will cost 2 yuan, which is not much, and it also helps maintain public order. If we do our work well, we should be able to collect it. If they refuse to pay, they can set up elsewhere, but not in front of our entrance."

Wu Yongliang left a deep impression, and without hesitation, he said: "Yes, petty theft, I have been caught by the Chengxi Police Station a few times. Fortunately, I didn't encounter the 'severe crackdown.' If it were now, he would be sentenced to at least three to five years."

The security situation is severe, and it is necessary to take stringent measures to combat the audacity of criminal elements.

I have no capital, and I do not dare to.

Young people are not keen on listening, eagerly rubbing their hands and ready to take the microphone. Older individuals enjoy it, winning rounds of applause, shouting for another song, another song.

In March of this year, a vice chairman of the National People's Congress and a national leader was unexpectedly murdered at home

A middle-aged couple is singing, performing Huangmei Opera, with the piece "The Couple Returns Home Together." Their delivery is marked by a rhythmic cadence and emotional expressiveness, reaching a level of professional excellence

The one wearing shorts is known to me, lives nearby, graduated from junior high school, and has been unemployed at home, idling away the days. The other few look familiar, often coming over, but their homes are not in this area of the west side of the city; they are likely unemployed youths from the towns below.

To engage in this business requires a significant investment, a 25-inch color television is indispensable, a VCD player costing several thousand is also essential, sound equipment is necessary, sufficient discs must be prepared, and dozens of benches should be arranged.

I wish to showcase my singing talent by singing karaoke outdoors. It costs 2 yuan per song, and several song lists are being passed around among the onlookers. The owner is overwhelmed with busyness, and the business is thriving to an astonishing degree

A person can increase their income by a few hundred in a month. The deputy section chief is determined, and Wu Yongliang cannot miss this opportunity. He patted his chest and assured, "Section Chief Han, leave this matter to me. You can go back and rest. I will work on it tonight and strive to open for business tomorrow. As long as we have funding, we can maintain good public order around the factory area, driving away those idle individuals and unstable elements."

This is correct, Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai, one is willing to hit and the other is willing to take it. If you want to set up here, you must pay; if you do not want to pay, you can leave. Han Bo paused and added: "Stalls for factory employees and their families will also be charged; at least it should appear to be fair. Make it clear to them privately, let them take the lead in paying, and then quietly refund them later."

Does the person we know have a criminal record? Han Bo stood under the parasol tree, observing quietly.

It is indeed the case that, in the eyes of the factory leadership and most employees, the security department is seen as merely idling away, receiving a substantial salary without having to work; what more could one expect

A few days later, several criminals armed with knives broke into the home of the deputy director of the criminal investigation department of a county police station in a southwestern province, binding the deputy director and his wife, gagging and blindfolding them, and stealing a handgun and several thousand in cash

The West City Police Station is too far away, and people often come to the reception room to look for the Security Department

Yang Xiaomei felt envious, not because she admired others for their singing skills, but because she envied the couple who took song requests and collected money. Unable to contain herself, she murmured: "Two yuan for a song, how much can they earn in one night! Truly, those by the seaside have become wealthy, those who set up stalls have prospered, while those who work in offices suffer, and those who are marginalized grow poorer"

There is no provision; the night shift only covers one meal.

"Would you agree to conduct business at your doorstep, making the area in front of your house a complete mess and disturbing your family to the point of chaos?"

What if they say it out loud

"If you are not making money, why venture into the sea? Sister Yang, you can also venture into the sea; you can also engage in business."

The center of the road is designated for sanitation cleaning, while the areas on both sides of the curb are the hygiene responsibility zones of the silk weaving factory. The vendors have made a complete mess, and the factory's cleaners complain bitterly every morning.

The more Wu Yongliang thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and he couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Adding up both sides, there are about fifty or sixty stalls, just like a rural market. Small stalls charge 2 yuan, large stalls 3 yuan, and the karaoke stall takes up a lot of space and disturbs the neighbors, charging 8 yuan for one night. In one night, we can at least collect 120 yuan. After accounting for windy or rainy days, we can generate at least 2400 yuan in a month. Give a few cleaners 400 yuan, and the remaining 2000 yuan can be split in half: one half for overtime pay and the other half reserved as funds. By the end of the year, our security department can also have its own little fund, and we can have gatherings and provide ourselves with some benefits."

"Yongliang, do you recognize those people across from us?"

The security situation at the night market is concerning, with vagrants, petty theft, disturbances, and even instances of pedestrians being lured into alleys for extortion. Disputes arise from vendors selling inferior products, and the excessive number of tricycles, bicycles, and motorcycles leads to frequent collisions; minor disagreements escalate from verbal arguments to physical confrontations.

Is there no overtime pay in our department

Without money, nothing can be accomplished

When feeling thirsty, one can buy cold drinks, and when feeling hungry, there are snack stalls ahead

As night falls, the area around the factory transforms into a night market
