Baldy Li's road to GDP started from our Liuzhen Welfare Factory.How can you know that it is not a blessing if you lose your horse? Baldy Li fell in love with Lin Hong, turned around and created miracles of profits in the welfare factory.At this time, the reform and opening up has entered the era of business for all. Baldy Li thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was a business genius. If you lead 50 bachelors, 40 masters, 30 doctors, and 20 post-doctors, you will not be rich enough to become a 10,000-ton oil tanker! Li Guang's head became hot, and he immediately ordered his fourteen lame, blind, deaf and loyal ministers to put down their work, as if there was an earthquake or a fire, and called the most urgent meeting in the history of the welfare factory.He was still on the phone to contact a business just now, but after putting down the phone, he decided to resign.Baldy Li delivered a one-hour generous speech, in which he spent fifty-nine minutes praising himself. At the last minute, he first appointed two cripples as the director and deputy director of the factory, and then announced in a tone of sorrow and regret: All employees of the welfare factory agree Accept the resignation application of factory director Li Guangtou.Baldy Li finally said with tears in his eyes:

"thanks!" After Li Guangtou said his thanks, he turned around and walked away quickly. Fourteen loyal officials who were lame, blind and deaf were sitting there motionless.The three fools were so happy that they didn't understand what Baldy Li said. The three fools were still happy after Baldy Li left; the five deaf people only saw Baldy Li's thick lips moving up and down, and saw his lips suddenly not moving. Turning around and going out, thinking that he was in a hurry to go to the toilet, the deaf people were sitting in danger, waiting for Baldy Li to come back and continue to move his thick lips up and down;More than five years ago, Baldy Li held a meeting of all employees of the welfare factory in the same way. He suddenly removed the two cripples as the director and deputy director of the factory, and appointed himself as the factory director on his own initiative. Now he suddenly removed himself , and appointed back the two lame factory directors; the four blind men stared into their dark eyes, their brains were much brighter than those of the ten lame and deaf, and they were the first to wake up, knowing that Baldy Li would never return up.One of the blind men laughed, and the other three followed suit.The three idiots were always happy, and they were also happy when they saw the four blind men. Not to be outdone, the three idiots simply laughed out loud.The five deaf men couldn't hear the laughter, but they could see the laughter, thinking that Baldy Li had told a joke when he hurried away to urinate.The two crippled factory directors who had just been reinstated came to their senses at this time, knowing that Baldy Li had resigned, but they didn't know why everyone was so happy.The lame factory manager said that the factory manager Li usually treats everyone kindly, and he resigned and left. Everyone should not be so happy.The crippled deputy factory director nodded repeatedly, saying that the factory director was right, and expressed his deputy factory director's aspirations.The four blind men laughed and said, why did Director Li resign when he was doing well? He was promoted to the Civil Affairs Bureau.The blind talk nonsense:

"Director Li is now Director Li." "It makes sense." The two cripples suddenly realized. Director Tao Qing of the Civil Affairs Bureau didn't know Baldy Li had resigned until a month later.At that time, the fourteen lame, blind, and deaf people finished the last business that Baldy Li had brought, the old ones were completed, and the new ones would not come.The two cripples moved back to the factory director's office, resumed their old work and found the chess game, pointing their noses at each other and cursing each other while regretting the chess across the table.The remaining eleven were doing nothing in the workshop, the three fools continued to laugh, and the four blind and five deaf yawned in competition.

The fourteen loyal ministers began to miss Factory Manager Li without incident. At the suggestion of the four blind men and the approval of the two lame men, the fourteen loyal ministers of the welfare factory formed a mob team and came to the Civil Affairs Bureau. In the courtyard of the bureau, shouts were scattered all over the place: "Director Li, Director Li, we are here to visit you!" Tao Qing, who was presiding over a meeting of the Civil Affairs Bureau, saw fourteen lame, blind and deaf people standing in the courtyard through the window, shouting and yelling. The red-headed document slapped the table and said angrily:

"This Baldy Li is so outrageous that he actually moved the welfare factory to the Civil Affairs Bureau." Director Tao Qing waved to a section chief sitting next to him as he spoke, telling the section chief to go out and drive them away.After the section chief went out, he was even angrier than the bureau chief, and the section chief scolded angrily: "What? What? We're studying the central file." The two cripples had been leaders and knew the importance of studying central documents, so they were too frightened to speak up.The four blind men couldn't see anything, so naturally they didn't pay attention to the central documents. When they heard the section chief's reprimand, they said very dissatisfied:

"Who are you? Talking to us like that, even Director Li, wouldn't talk to us like that." The section chief looked at the four blind men leaning on four bamboo poles, speaking in a high-spirited manner, and shouted angrily, "Get out! Get out!" "You go in! You go in for us!" The blind men also shouted, and the blind men said, "Go in and tell Director Li that all the employees of the welfare factory miss him and come to visit him." "What Director Li?" The section chief said inexplicably, "There is no Director Li here, only Director Tao here."

"You're talking nonsense," said the blind men. The section chief didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking he was really a blind man talking nonsense.Tao Qing came out at this time, Tao Qing was full of anger, and before he saw Baldy Li, he yelled at the fourteen lame, blind and deaf people: "Baldy Li, come here." The four blind men didn't know who the person who came out to speak was, and continued to say, "Who are you? How dare you call Director Li that." "What Director Li?" Tao Qing also looked puzzled. "Hmph, I don't even know Director Li." The blind men said, "It's Director Li of our welfare factory, who came to the Civil Affairs Bureau to be Director Li."

Tao Qing looked at the section chief beside him. He didn't understand what the four blind men were talking about. The section chief immediately reprimanded the four blind men: "Nonsense! Baldy Li is here to be the director. What is our director Tao doing?" The four blind men were speechless, and it was only then that they remembered that the Civil Affairs Bureau already had Director Tao.One of the four blind men said in his heart: "Director Tao may become the county magistrate." "Yes." The other three blind men exclaimed happily. Tao Qing was originally furious, but when he heard that the blind men had promoted him to be the county magistrate, he burst out laughing like three idiots.It was only then that Tao Qing realized that Baldy Li was not among these people. Tao Qing saw the two lame men hiding behind the five deaf men, so he pointed to the two lame men and said:

"You two, come here." The two cripples knew that something was wrong, and they knew that Factory Director Li was promoted to be Director Li, but the blind men were talking nonsense.The two cripples limped out from behind the five deaf men nervously, first limping to the sides, then turning around and limping together, they stood in front of Tao Qing. Next, Tao Qing finally figured out that Baldy Li had resigned. Baldy Li had resigned for a month and hadn't come to report to him; Accept his resignation application.Tao Qing turned pale with anger, and said with trembling lips:

"This Baldy Li has no organization, no discipline, no leadership, and no masses..." Director Tao Qing, who hadn't sweared for more than ten years, couldn't bear to curse: "You son of a bitch!" After Tao Qing ordered the two cripples to take the people from the welfare factory away, he went back to the meeting room and stopped studying the central red-headed documents, and held a meeting to discuss Baldy Li's serious mistakes.Tao Qing suggested that Baldy Li should be permanently expelled from the Civil Affairs Bureau. The Civil Affairs Bureau working meeting unanimously approved Director Tao Qing's suggestion, and then printed it out as a Civil Affairs Bureau redhead document to be submitted to the county government.Tao Qing read the printed document for the last time, and said:

"For a lawless person like Baldy Li, you can't use the word 'resign', you must use 'fire'."
