By the second half of 1999, Feiyang Communications Company had been established, and the factory was half built, with relevant production lines ready for installation.
The first department to start working was the R&D department. Sun Lianguo invested heavily to recruit a large number of technical talents. With ready-made technical data, they smoothly completed the development of the entire mobile phone.
Although the factory and production lines had not yet been built, and workers had not been recruited and trained, all the preparatory work was done.
The first high-tech industrial park successfully went into operation, and the related investment promotion work was also completed. Everyone’s enthusiasm was very high.
Even those who had some opinions and thoughts about Sun Liancheng had to follow his lead at this time, together pushing forward all projects and plans.
No matter what, the achievements are right there. If you don’t want to do it, there are plenty of people who want to take your place!
Therefore, including Qi Lei, Ji Chunlai, and others, were all under Sun Liancheng’s command, but they were still happy in their pain.
In the early 1999, the construction of a high-tech industrial park was initially completed, and the urban renovation project was also basically implemented.
Road widening, pipe and power grid renovation were also carried out simultaneously. Green space and transportation, among other aspects, were also being improved in coordination.
Even to protect the environment, Sun Liancheng encouraged Zhou Shanhe to lead the charge in a city and countryside cleaning movement. The government took the lead in cleaning up all streets and alleys, rivers and lakes, and then continuously promoted improvements to the urban and rural environments.
As a result, the urban appearance of Jingzhou City underwent a huge transformation.
The streets that used to be littered with garbage and plastic waste everywhere were now clean and tidy.
From this alone, Zhou Shanhe gained considerable prestige and achievements.
Unfortunately, these things had to be shared with others no matter what, so the City Party Secretary Liu Hanting and the provincial committee would also benefit, and everything became a testament to the leadership of everyone.
After the launch of the second and third phases of the project, Guangming District became increasingly active.
Cleaning up polluting enterprises was the biggest challenge!
Because these enterprises had some connections, and everyone didn’t want to leave this good place.
According to the new policy requirements, polluting enterprises would have to relocate to other remote areas, and their employees might not want to do that!
So the government had to step in to coordinate, guaranteeing them loans from banks. This solved most of the pollution control problems and issues with the workers’ lives.
Finally, based on the development in various aspects, their products were included in the priority procurement list, which persuaded them to agree.
After resolving these most stubborn issues, other problems became much easier to handle.
For example, some garment factories, toy factories, and other light industries didn’t have much conflict with the city’s environmental and economic development plans, so they were basically untouched.
However, with the start of construction in various aspects, the demand for work clothes increased, and consumer demand in all aspects also increased.
Therefore, these enterprises took advantage of the favorable conditions and entered another period of rapid development.
For example, Da Feng Factory. Sun Liancheng only learned later that the clothing for many enterprises and construction workers came from them, because someone had played a role in connecting the dots!
Sun Liancheng didn’t pay attention to these issues at the beginning, and others wouldn’t bring up such trivial matters to him, so he only learned about them later.
Machine factories, furniture factories, etc., were even overloaded with orders, and almost every industry developed and expanded during this time.
Especially with more people, the demand for clothing, food, housing, and transportation increased significantly, indirectly promoting employment and income growth for many people.
Sun Liancheng didn’t manage these micro aspects. As the de facto planner, he needed to keep a firm grip on the big picture at all times.
He also had to control his work time, refusing dinners and gifts, and getting to and from work on time as much as possible.
Although some people had some opinions, they couldn’t do anything to him at this time.
At the end of 1999, his wife Liu Miaomiao and their son came to Jingzhou City, and her work relationship was also transferred.
Liu Miaomiao, influenced by family factors, is currently a middle school teacher, specializing in teaching Chinese, and sometimes she also teaches some art classes.
She has now transferred to Guangming District Experimental Middle School. The couple finally didn’t have to be separated.
Their son was about to turn four, he could run and jump, and he was starting to become quite mischievous.
He had seen less of Sun Liancheng in the past year, only getting together when he had time off, when Sun Liancheng would drive back to be with them.
So his son was very attached to him, until a few years later when he became a nuisance...
Sun Liancheng’s father-in-law also benefited a little, because in recent years, Sun’s charitable foundation was the first to donate funds to build hundreds of primary and secondary schools in Yunzhou City, improving the teaching and learning environment for many teachers and students.
Plus, Yunzhou City’s economy took off, and government revenue grew rapidly. More funds were invested in education.
As a result, the cultural and educational industries in Yunzhou City developed rapidly, and his father-in-law got a lot of achievements from this.
He has now been transferred from the Yunzhou City Education Bureau to the Provincial Education Department, serving as a regular deputy director, which is considered an improvement.
But he is already fifty years old, and he probably won’t be able to rise to any higher positions in this lifetime.
Before, Sun Liancheng didn’t pay much attention to his father-in-law’s side, because it was not close, and his father-in-law also had a son, and his brother-in-law was already working.
If Liu Miaomiao was an only child, then the two of them would often go back to see him.
But now, they just visit normally.
Until he was transferred to the provincial department in Jingzhou City, the distance between the two shortened, and they naturally began to interact more often.
Besides daily exchanges, his father-in-law occasionally gave him some advice on interpersonal relationships, urging Sun Liancheng to cultivate more connections.
Unfortunately, Sun Liancheng continued to adhere to his laid-back principle, except for occasional visits with his old leader Zhou Shanhe and the provincial committee standing member Xu Kaiqiang, he didn’t contact anyone else, primarily conducting business matters.
Under these circumstances, Sun Liancheng’s social connections were somewhat thin.
However, none of this affected Sun Liancheng’s work or life.
The economic development plan for Guangming District continued to advance. Sun Lianguo’s mobile phone company had started production and successfully produced a batch of 2G mobile phones.
In terms of both appearance and practicality, it could reach the level of the early 2000s, with comprehensive performance that was not inferior to products from abroad.
At this time, collective orders from the government and many enterprises and institutions brought great hope to Feiyang Communications Technology Company.
However, their main goal was still the national market, and then to expand into the world.
