Chapter 9: Underestimating the Heroes of the World

I asked them whether the police rank follows the position, and they said not entirely. Not entirely implies that it cannot differ too much. Our State-owned Silk Weaving Factory in Sigang County can at least correspond to a department-level unit, with the factory director being at the level of a deputy division chief, and middle-level cadres corresponding to deputy section chiefs. The deputy section chiefs are lower, along with several secretaries and town heads who transitioned with me. You are the deputy chief of the security section, concurrently serving as the team leader of the economic police, with over twenty subordinates, while the police station has only a few personnel, at least at the level of a regular staff member. I inquired about the usual police ranks for police station heads, and they mentioned there are third-level police inspectors, second-level police inspectors, and also first-level police inspectors, but not many. I reiterated that it should not be too high or too low, so we should take a middle ground, thus your police rank is two bars and two stars, which corresponds to a second-level police inspector

Changhe minivan, the condition is good, and I became proficient after driving for three to four minutes

Underestimating the heroes of the world, others consider matters more comprehensively than oneself

After he took leave, all these matters fell on him. Han Bo pondered, "Driving is not a problem, the key issue is that the car needs fuel. If we drive too much, will the factory have any objections?"

Han Bo chuckled: "Can police ranks be bargained?"

The security service company is small, located at the west gate of the Public Security Bureau, with a total of three counters. The economic police's hat badge, police uniform, and rank are the same as those of the public security, but the armband is different, featuring the two characters "Economic" instead of "Public Security"

The 95-style police insignia is really not as good-looking as the 92-style, with one stripe, two stripes, and three stripes, making it look like the squad leader, team leader, and brigade leader of the Young Pioneers. Jiang Guoping has worn military uniforms for over ten years, and he really has no strong feelings about wearing police uniforms; he even started to complain about the police insignia that was just changed two years ago.

I cannot, but you can. You have just started working, and your hometown is in Sihe, where everyone knows each other, so there are not so many concerns. Moreover, everyone knows that your family is well-off, and you expect to have a house right away. Unlike me, who has worked my whole life, and my savings are only enough to build a two-story house. Others will not think that you want to make money; they will believe that you want to accomplish something.

Delivering goods by truck, the leaders travel in sedans, this van is not in use, driving it is not a problem, but you are right, driving it more will consume more fuel, the leaders will definitely have thoughts on this matter

Economic police are not the same as public security police; we did not take it seriously, and they did not take it seriously either. We will go back, change into our police uniforms, take a photo, and in a few days, we will process the police officer certificates

Are you saying that it cannot be done

It is not feasible to proceed as you suggested; the factory's land must generate revenue. It is acceptable not to charge fees, but once fees are introduced, the factory leadership will have their own considerations. Therefore, it is necessary to provide some benefits to the factory, such as covering the wages of a few general workers. The business administration must take this into account, as it is easier to manage; a monthly fee of two to three hundred yuan would be equivalent to a management fee. In this way, it effectively transforms the night market into an agricultural trade market, allowing for reasonable and legal fee collection. The fee standards you proposed are also not scientific; higher fees should be charged for better locations and lower fees for poorer ones. This way, it effectively turns the night market into an agricultural trade market, allowing for reasonable and legal fee collection. The fee standards you mentioned are also not scientific; higher fees should be charged for better locations and lower fees for poorer ones. To secure a prime location, many individual vendors have engaged in conflicts. After reaching an agreement with the factory and coordinating with the business administration, they should be gathered together for a meeting. On paper, draw dozens of stalls and allow them to choose for themselves; if there are competing bids for a stall, the one who offers the most money will get it, and it will be fixed for a year without changes.

How do you speak

This is not for himself, but for the security department, for everyone.

The factory regulations stipulate that the security department must conduct inspections at each branch factory at least four times a month

Jiang Guoping's interest in cars far exceeds that in the economic police squad. He patted the storage box and sighed, "If you can drive, many things become easier. You can just drive to a few branches without having to ride a bicycle for half a day like I do, or take a minibus from the bus station. I dread taking the minibus the most; it is now contracted out to private operators, and they go around the county, not leaving until they are full. All the time is wasted by them."

Everything has been prepared in advance, just waiting for the silk weaving factory to send the money. A set of summer uniforms costs over 100, while a set of winter uniforms costs several hundred. It is not just a small amount of money, but fortunately, the organization covers the expenses, so individuals do not have to pay out of their own pockets

The police will only receive the amount that the factory leadership approves, not a penny more. The cost of handcuffs must be covered upfront by oneself, and the security service company will issue an invoice, with the possibility of reimbursement from the factory at a later opportunity

The two branch factories in the county town are close, and there have been no issues after ten inspections. However, the silk reeling factories in the three nearby townships are too far away; four inspections would be equivalent to making ten round trips to the townships.

Being so stingy, otherwise how could one argue with that Gao Changxing? A cadre, during their tenure, an extra one or two hundred in salary is not a big deal, what one fears is illness, what one fears is retirement. Putting oneself in another's shoes, leaders have their own difficulties; there are too many retired cadres and employees, the burden is too heavy, last year alone the medical expenses exceeded two million.

The leader is so stingy

Last night, I inquired with a neighbor who married from Silk River Town. His father works in engineering in Donghai City, earning in a year what others make in a lifetime. Jiang Guoping felt no psychological pressure from smoking his fine cigarettes, and lit another Yuxi.

Director Jiang, I will not pay out of my own pocket, this is how I think...

"Chief Jiang, what is my police rank?" Han Bo climbed into the driver's seat through the side door, asking curiously.

Only with wealth can one motivate subordinates and establish authority. With authority, they become motivated, enabling one to lead them in operations to apprehend criminals and to prevent potential tragedies from occurring.

Everything was loaded onto the vehicle, and Han Bo asked the sales clerk for two more pairs of handcuffs

Then no one will speak up, but how can one pay out of their own pocket for work done on behalf of the organization

With heartfelt sincerity, Han Bo felt truly fortunate to have encountered such an excellent superior.

What if we solve the fuel costs ourselves

He is willing to charge into battle, which Jiang Guoping has long desired. With a wave of his hand, he said: "I will work with you on the tasks at the factory and the industrial and commercial office. First, discuss with Director Qian; once you have agreed with Director Qian, we will go to the industrial and commercial office. This will not delay your evening plans. You know I need to build a house, so the other work can only be led by you."

Han Bo made up his mind and said while holding the steering wheel: "Director Jiang, I will follow your instructions and proceed according to your regulations. However, without a solid foundation, mere words are not enough; I will talk to Director Qian, but I estimate he may not necessarily agree. Also, I do not know anyone at the Chengxi Industrial and Commercial Office."

The county town is not large, the police station is not far, there are not many cars on the road, and we arrived after just a short while of becoming familiar with the route

Before the factory office officially delivered it, Gao Changxing was not considered a member of the Security Department. Jiang Guoping was solely focused on finishing the matters of the Economic Police Team so that he could take leave to go home and build a house. He was too indifferent to care about how the negotiations were going on the union side.

Han Bo briefly mentioned the matter of collecting the sanitation fees for the night market, and Jiang Guoping chuckled: "Xiao Han, actually I have thought about it, and I have considered it more comprehensively than you. The reason I haven't acted on it is twofold: first, having been the head of the security department for so many years, I see the same people every day, and I know everyone, so it is really hard for me to lower my face. Second, people’s opinions are formidable; if I take the lead, others might think that I, Jiang Guoping, have developed a case of envy, seeing others benefit and wanting to get a share for myself. At my age, it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble; I will retire in a few years, seeking a peaceful life without being gossiped about behind my back."

Speaking of this, Jiang Guoping was quite animated: "During yesterday's meeting, they planned to grant you the rank of first-class officer, one stripe and three stars, which is slightly higher than that of a trainee and a second-class officer. Although it may not be of much use, more stripes look better, so I presented them with the facts and reasoned with them."
