Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

Entering the house, Chu Jianghe saw that Mrs. Li was not at home, so he asked casually: "Sister-in-law is not at home today?"

"Your sister-in-law has gone back to her parents' house. Don't worry, you won't be hungry at noon."

Chu Jianghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. The two exchanged simple greetings and then sat in the living room, smoking and chatting.

Li Jinming originally wanted to ask him what was wrong with him being out for so long and if there was anything he could do to help, but seeing that Chu Jianghe didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more questions.

Although the two people have not known each other for a long time, their friendship with each other has not diminished at all even though they have not seen each other for a long time.

"Brother Li, I see that your work in the printing factory has gone very smoothly during this period. The smile on your face has never stopped since I entered the room."

Li Jinming laughed: "Jiang He, it's all thanks to you. The printing factory has done more business during this period, and the benefits are getting better and better."

When profits are good, it means you are rich. When you are rich, you can provide benefits to employees. With incentives, the employees of the printing factory began to respect him as the factory director more and more.

He, Li Jinming, finally gained a foothold in the printing factory, and his words became more and more forceful. He began to consciously build his own foundation and cultivate his cronies. As time went by, this printing factory would sooner or later become his own place, Li Jinming.

Chu Jianghe was also sincerely happy for him, which was a good sign.

But looking at Li Jinming's elated look, I'm afraid there is another good thing going on.

"Brother Li, looking at you like this, I'm afraid there are other factors?"

Li Jinming laughed again and pointed at Chu Jianghe with his finger: "I know I can't hide it from you. Last year, Sichuan Province took the lead in carrying out a pilot project to expand the power of state-owned enterprises, and the results were good. Last month, six departments including the Economic Commission and the Ministry of Finance issued a notice to determine the number of projects in Beijing, Eight enterprises in three cities in Tianjin and Shanghai are conducting pilot projects on enterprise management reform, mainly as a test to expand enterprise autonomy."

Chu Jianghe also had an impression of this reform in his mind. No wonder Li Jinming was so happy. He was in the prime of life and it was time to show off his talents.

Although it is still a pilot project now, it will be promoted sooner or later.

As the director of the printing factory, Li Jinming's autonomy will be greatly improved by then, and there will be fewer constraints from the main factory.

"Then I'll congratulate Brother Li first. Then you, the irritated little wife, will become a mother-in-law."

"You, you." Li Jinming couldn't help laughing when he heard what Chu Jianghe said was interesting, and then said: "This time we expand the management autonomy of state-owned industrial enterprises mainly from five aspects: the implementation of profit retention, fixed levy Asset tax, increase the depreciation rate, improve the use of depreciation fees, and implement full credit for working capital. What do you, a top student from Beijing University, think?"

Chu Jianghe would not let anything go, he was always paying attention to these trends.

Chu Jianghe nodded and expressed his opinion: "I have read the newspapers these days and learned about some aspects. Let me briefly talk about it."

"The April work conference established the eight-character policy of "adjustment, reform, rectification, and improvement" in response to problems such as serious imbalances in the proportion of the national economy, unreasonable systems, poor management, and low efficiency."

"At the same time, a discussion meeting on the law of value in the socialist economy was held in Wuxi. The meeting focused on a series of issues concerning the application of the law of value in reforming the economic management system, mainly including: the law of value and the expansion of enterprise authority, planned regulation and market regulation problems, price formation and price stability issues, etc.”

"The June government report also pointed out that our country's national economy must carry out necessary reforms during the adjustment to gradually establish a system that combines planned regulation and market regulation, with planned regulation as the mainstay and at the same time giving full attention to the role of market regulation. This is still the case in our country. For the first time in economic policy, it is clearly proposed to combine planning with the market.”

"The purpose of this series of actions is to break the ice of the planned economy and make the transition to a market economy. After all, reform is never accomplished overnight and requires a step-by-step process."

"This is a good start. In my opinion, in the future, state-owned enterprises will also participate in fierce market competition. The situation in the past where they did the same good and bad things and relied on funding from superiors to survive may be gone forever. Come back. Brother Li, you have to be prepared."

After listening to Chu Jianghe's words, Li Jinming was quite shocked. He didn't expect that this guy could briefly summarize the major events that happened in the past six months in just a few words, not to mention that his views made him enlightened.

He could see the momentum of reform, but not as clearly as Chu Jianghe.

This guy always has something to say, he is truly a talent!

Li Jinming was also quite emotional: "Yes, the state stipulates that all funds of enterprises are allocated in proportion. Even if you want to buy original works of Marxism and Lenin, you have to file a report and apply to your superiors, and you can only buy it after getting approval, let alone I bought technical books related to production. There is an old worker in our factory, and his salary for entering the factory was 32.75 yuan. After getting married and having children, it is still 32.75 yuan. He has not received a salary increase in almost 30 years."

"With autonomy and funds, enterprises can expand reproduction according to their own conditions, and the excess can also increase workers' wages and benefits as appropriate."

"The most important thing is to run the business well. If it doesn't run well, it's all empty talk."

"That's natural."

……

The two of them were sitting in the living room, chatting for a long time as if they were talking to each other.

Li Jinming looked at the time until his mouth went dry. Unknowingly, the two of them had been chatting all morning, but he still felt unfinished.

"Jiang He, with your knowledge, you must come to our factory after graduation."

"Farewell, I can't stand your rules and regulations."

Li Jinming felt a little regretful when he saw that Chu Jianghe was unwilling.

However, he also understood that even if Chu Jianghe entered the factory and had great abilities, he would have to be ranked according to his seniority. If he wanted to have room to develop, he would have to work for several years.

It was already dinner time, and he was not an unreasonable person: "It's already noon, and your sister-in-law isn't home either. Let's just have a bite at noon. I happen to have some sauce beef left here, and I'll fry it again. Order some peanuts and let’s talk while we drink.”

Chu Jianghe was self-righteous, but he suddenly remembered his own affairs and told Li Jinming.

"Buy a harvester? That's easy. I'll help you say hello to Minister Wang later." Li Jinming was about to go into the kitchen to work when he suddenly remembered: "You did a big favor to Minister Wang last time. This favor is just like this." used?"

Chu Jianghe didn't think about getting any benefits from that matter, and said: "Please ask Brother Li to ask for it for me. Others can't buy it if they want to. This is enough for me."

Mainly because Chu Jianghe remembered the hard work of harvesting wheat last year and had to buy a harvester quickly.

If he could rely on Mr. Zhao's connections, he could buy it, but if he had existing connections, he would not abandon the near and seek the far.

"Sure, if you want to say that, then I will say hello for you and I will reply to you in a few days."

After Li Jinming finished speaking, he went into the kitchen to work.

After a while, a plate of beef with sauce, a plate of peanuts, and two bottles of good wine were brought out.
