Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

In the office of the research institute, after Zhou Yang hung up the phone, he fell into deep thought!

Through the phone conversation with Lu Zhengjun just now, Zhou Yang basically figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

It can be seen that the current sickle plan has attracted the attention of the highest level.

However, this is also inevitable, because the current domestic economic development is really bad, and the country's demand for foreign exchange has reached an unstoppable level.

Under such circumstances, Sickle plans to earn [-] million foreign exchange income a year, which is obvious to the temptation of high-level officials.

Not to mention sending a few veterans there and setting up a few scientific research institutions to serve them, no matter how high the price is, they will fully support it.

To put it bluntly, the country is too poor now, and it is too short of money!

Moreover, Zhou Yang also knew that the situation like this would continue and become more and more serious.

Especially after the re-opening, we have officially connected with foreign countries, and need a large amount of foreign exchange every year to support foreign trade demand.

Of course, if you don’t have foreign exchange, you can only use the country’s gold or other precious metals as general equivalents.

But no one has so much gold and silver, so they can only earn foreign exchange with their lives, so that in the 80s, a special word was coined in China - foreign exchange earning.

Regardless of whether it is a domestic enterprise or an external window unit, they are all given the task of earning foreign exchange. At that time, no matter what you do, as long as you can earn foreign exchange, you are a talent that the country needs.

Under such a general environment, it is inevitable that the sickle project, which has already achieved initial results, will come into the attention of the top management, and this is what Zhou Yang hopes to see.

It was actually not difficult to implement the sickle plan in the early stage. Zhou Yang, Yan Gengdong, Lu Zhengjun and others could make it run and make a lot of profits.

But the further back, the more difficult it is to implement this plan.

The reason is also simple. In the early stage, it was only to make money by selling products. It was usually just a normal business behavior and would not cause restrictions and suppression from other forces.

But the further you go to the back, the larger the field involved, the easier it is to touch the core interests of Western countries, and the more difficult it is for individuals to deal with it.

At this time, the support of national power is needed. If you adopt various policy restrictions on me, we will help to introduce countermeasures.

If you dare to use dirty tricks, then I will send mercenary security forces to protect you.

At the same time, the Sickle Project will require a lot of national intelligence support in the later stage, and these cannot be completed by a single individual.

All in all, Zhou Yang is very satisfied with the development of the Sickle Project.

But Zhou Yang is also a little worried now, once higher levels intervene in this plan, whether the agreement they reached with the Ministry of Commerce will become invalid.

You must know that according to what they have discussed with the Ministry of Commerce, half of the profits of the sickle plan will be turned over to the country, and the rest will be used for development.

However, now that the military, the Ministry of Health and other departments have joined in, the Ministry of Commerce has obviously lost control of the entire plan. It is still unknown whether the top management will care about the tacit understanding between them.

Zhou Yang is not saying that the leaders above are short-sighted and killing chickens to get eggs, but that the current domestic economy is indeed not very good.

In particular, the ultra-high fiscal deficit has reached a jaw-dropping and shocking level.

Everyone knows that the so-called fiscal deficit actually means that the country's finances are not making ends meet and are in debt!

However, in the past 30 years, the national finance has rarely been in fiscal deficit.

The reason is that we are engaged in a planned economy, and the biggest feature of a planned economy is "paying according to the income", that is, our national budget is arranged according to the country's estimated income, and we can do as much as we can.

In this way, even if it is slightly exceeded, it will not be serious, and it will be passed by moving around or tightening the belt.

But it has been different in recent years. With the significant relaxation of our relations with Western countries, the economic blockade of Western countries headed by Zerghawk has weakened. We also have the opportunity to contact and even purchase advanced Western technology and technology. equipment.

For example, the famous Four-Three Plan originally planned to import complete sets of equipment worth 3 billion U.S. dollars from Western countries within 5 to 43 years, and then added a batch of projects based on this plan, with a total planned value of 51.4 billion U.S. dollars.

In short, in the past few years, we have been buying from other countries while the West is not under blockade!

And these technologies and equipment are not all right after they are bought back, nor are they placed somewhere to watch, but these technologies and equipment must be utilized to serve our economic development.

Ever since, while buying, buying, and buying, we have also started large-scale investment and construction of factories across the country, and ordered various scientific research institutes to conduct various researches on these purchased Western technology equipment.

As a result, more and more domestic funds have been invested in this area, and the fiscal deficit has become more and more serious.

The higher authorities are obviously aware of the seriousness of this matter, so they hope to deal with the economic crisis that may arise at any time by adjusting the national strategy.

因此在前年的时候上面就出台新的计划，准备国家预算内的基建投资在1975年要降为396亿元，1976年再降为360亿元，1977年再降至240亿元。

The number of large and medium-sized projects under construction will be reduced from 1700 to less than 1000.

To put it bluntly, it is to reduce investment and reduce expenditure so as not to pile up debts.

However, the results of the implementation are somewhat unacceptable. The new plan has been implemented for almost three years, but instead of reducing it, the funds invested have increased significantly.

The fiscal deficit is getting worse!

无奈之下，就在今年的3月28日高层发布了《关于坚决压缩和严格控制社会集团购买力的请示报告》，提出要在1977年把社会集团购买力控制在100亿—110亿元以内。

There is no way, the reduction of expenditure is impossible, so it can only restrain national consumption.

If this is not done, there will not be so many products for ordinary people to consume in the country, which will inevitably cause serious inflation!

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yang was really worried that the higher ups would use the money from the Sickle Project to make up for the hole.

And in order to prevent Weiyuan Company from being drained, the only way is to invest more and make more money.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop new drugs and open up new markets.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang already had a preliminary plan for this matter before, and after returning from the northwest, he will carefully consider how to implement it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang picked up the phone again, and then dialed a number to go out!

"Dudu!"

After a few busy tones, the phone was picked up: "Who is there?"

"Hi, comrade, I'm Zhou Yang from Factory 888, help me pick up Mr. Jiang!"

"Please wait!"

Soon, the call was transferred, and Jiang Lao's voice came from the microphone: "Xiao Zhou, why did you think of calling me today!"

"Chief, I called you today mainly because of two things..."

Before the words finished, Mr. Jiang said with a smile: "There are still a lot of things, so hurry up and talk about it. I have to attend a high-level meeting after I finish talking!"

"Okay, the first thing I want to ask is when will the money for the expansion of our research institute be available?"

"This is already in progress, and it will be in place within a week!" Jiang Lao said.

"Thank you, Chief. The second thing is that we are seriously short of scientific research equipment, ranging from computers to printing paper. We are short of everything. Can you help solve it!"

"Just make a list of what equipment you lack, and I will ask the comrades in the ministry to help you solve it!" Jiang Lao said.

"Chief, it happens that a comrade from our unit is in the capital, is it convenient for you to let him go directly to meet with the comrade in charge of this matter in the ministry?" Zhou Yang said.

"It seems that your kid came prepared, that's fine, you let him come to the Ministry tomorrow morning to find Director Sun Yanjun, and I will say hello to him!" Old Jiang said.

"Thank you, Chief!"

"If you really want to thank me, then you kid should come up with more advanced technology, and you won't accept me just by talking!"

"Understood, I will definitely not let you down forever!"

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news!"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Jiang hung up the phone directly...
