Chapter 21 Old Xu

Zhao Shucheng is very confident about this because he has not only communicated with foreign businessmen these days, but also observed the products of the wool spinning mills in the Canton Fair and the wool spinning related machinery and equipment.

Most of the machinery and equipment of domestic wool mill companies are still old products, and they have basically not been updated much. Although the products are cheap and beautiful, they still have great competitiveness, but they can only become low-end products.

Zhao Shucheng thought very clearly that only the most advanced equipment can produce the most advanced products and do high-end business.

Zhao Shucheng made up his mind to purchase the most advanced wool spinning machines this time so that the best wool spinning products can be produced directly in one step, so that Xiao Lei’s products can continue to take the high-end route.

However, Zhao Shucheng cannot decide the specific procurement matters himself now, because the use of foreign exchange in this era is not that simple matter and requires approval.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng is also very confident about this. At least County Mayor Xu will support Zhao Shucheng after knowing Zhao Shucheng's ideas. Zhao Shucheng has already planned in his mind about where to build the factory and how to start it.

What makes Zhao Shucheng a little regretful is that the Iran-Iraq War has begun and there are a lot of articles to do here, but because the Xiao Lei family is only in the countryside and there are no companies like steel mills, they can only miss this opportunity.

After Zhao Shucheng and his friends returned to Xiaolei's house, they convened all the villagers to hold a meeting to announce the gains this time, and also summarized the development of Xiaolei's family during this period.

"Everyone, let me say a few words!"

"First, the bamboo weaving factory went to the Canton Fair this time and had a great harvest. In the future, the bamboo weaving factory will receive foreign trade orders one after another, and the Xiao Lei family will become richer and richer. Second, the brick factory and prefabricated plate factory have also begun to restore their previous prices and start to make profits."

"Third, our construction team has completed the housing plan in the village, and everyone can move to a new house to live in. The old houses in the past must be flattened. After the re-planning, part of them will be used as farmland and part of them will be the factory of Xiao Lei's new factory. The construction team has also begun to take over orders from outside and can make money again!"

"Fourth, all the people who raise long-haired rabbits in the Xiao Lei family should know that as much rabbit hair as you can produce, we can sell as much rabbit hair. In the future, the Xiao Lei family will also build their own wool spinning factory and process rabbit hair directly in our local area. So even if the scale of long-haired rabbit breeding in our village has several times increased, there is no need to worry about sales."

"Fifth, all village-run enterprises in the future will operate independently and bear their own profits and losses. The village will no longer conduct subsidized production. If the losses are serious, they will be closed directly and workers will enter other enterprises to work."

"Finally, at the end of each year, the village-run enterprises will pay year-end bonuses and the village will pay dividends so that everyone can have a prosperous year!"

"good!"

However, some people are also skeptical about Zhao Shucheng's words. After all, if companies are responsible for their own profits and losses in the future, they will definitely not be able to hold on if they encounter a price war again.

However, some companies support Zhao Shucheng's words. After all, no one wants to earn money from their own efforts, but in the end they support other companies, which makes them lose much less dividends.

Zhao Shucheng did not explain to them why they did this. In fact, subsidized production itself is not a healthy production model. It was just that the Xiao Lei family's enterprise had poor risk resistance, so Zhao Shucheng had to choose subsidies. But now that we have survived, we must exercise the Xiao Lei family's ability to compete in business, otherwise sooner or later, we will not be able to survive due to various reasons.

On that day, Zhao Shucheng was summarizing the income and expenditure of Xiao Lei's family during this period when he heard someone talking outside.

When Zhao Shucheng walked out, he found that County Magistrate Xu had arrived at Xiao Lei's house. He came over to check the business situation of Xiao Lei's house, and just happened to catch the old branch secretary coming, so he got together.

"County Magistrate Xu, why don't you say hello to me before you come? I can go and greet you."

County Magistrate Xu smiled and said, "I just caught you off guard so that I can see the real situation. I just want to see the five major industries of your Xiao Lei family. If you are willing, take me around and say as you walk."

"Okay, County Magistrate Xu, I'll take you around."

Zhao Shucheng took County Mayor Xu to the village and talked about the current development of Xiao Lei's family.

County Magistrate Xu was very happy when he heard this and said, "Dongbao, I read that right. You have developed well with Xiao Lei's family, especially this new house, which are all small villas, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "That's right. After all, Xiao Lei's family has money, so the villagers cannot still live in the old houses of the past. But don't worry, it's all the shares of the team, and it doesn't take a penny from the villagers."

As we were walking, we saw Song Yunhui coming to the village with the tractor.

"Xiaohui, come on, this is County Mayor Xu in our county. He is a college student like you. You told County Mayor Xu that when you took the college entrance examination, was he the number one in the county?"

Song Yunhui looked at County Magistrate Xu and said, "You are County Magistrate Xu. Hello, my name is Song Yunhui."

"Hello, I heard from Dongbao mention you, you are a top student in our county."

Song Yunhui said politely: "County Magistrate Xu, I just happened to have something to ask you for advice."

"you say!"

"That's right. After I came back, I heard about the competition between our village-run enterprises and county-run enterprises some time ago. Xiao Lei's family was forced to use price wars to overcome the difficulties. But in fact, both sides suffered certain economic losses in this process. The advantages we have gained at this stage are temporary. From a long-term perspective, with the expansion of the scale of village-run enterprises, similar competition will appear in the future."

County Magistrate Xu nodded and said, "This question has been mentioned to your brother-in-law just now."

Song Yunhui continued: "But village-run enterprises are still expanding at present. At this stage, the planned and unplanned economy are constantly colliding. Based on past experience, if no solution is found, it will suppress the development of the rural economy."

"right!"

Zhao Shucheng said: "Xiaohui, you have not graduated from college yet. These problems are not what you should consider. Moreover, if you do not have relevant investigations and experience, you will not be able to find a solution."

"But……"

"It's nothing, but you just came to the village and go find your sister. She's in the farm. Go quickly!"

County Magistrate Xu knew that Zhao Shucheng was trying to protect his brother-in-law, and said with a smile: "Dongbao, let Xiao Song finish his words. I think he still has a lot to say, and it is also very organized."

Zhao Shucheng said: "Oh, County Magistrate Xu, he just relied on his reading for a few days and felt that after learning something in school, he dared to point fingers and didn't understand the actual situation at all."

"I think what he said makes sense, and this is also the problem we are facing now, so let him finish his words."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaohui, come back, County Magistrate Xu wants to listen to your thoughts."

"Xiao Song, you have raised all the problems. Is there any solution?"

Song Yunhui said: "Now the Xiao Lei family has established a rabbit hair acquisition station, making the rabbit hair acquisition bigger and more stable, extending to big cities like the Magic City. I wonder if we can learn from relevant experience and apply them to other fields, so that they can stand up and go out."

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, but did not speak.

County Magistrate Xu noticed Zhao Shucheng's disdainful expression and said, "Dongbao, if you have any different opinions, you can raise them."

Zhao Shucheng glanced at Song Yunhui and said, "Then I will briefly say that although Xiaohui's method is feasible, it also faces real obstacles. That is, it doesn't work at all. Because rabbit hair is an agricultural and sideline product, it can be sold to places like Magic City, but other products may not work."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Because the local protection policy is like the bricks and prefabricated boards of our Xiaolei family. Because each county or village has its own bricks and prefabricated board factories, neighboring counties and cities have adopted protection policies in order to protect their local enterprises and reject the bricks and prefabricated boards of the Xiaolei family from entering their market. So the way to go out is not displayed until this problem is solved."

"But rabbit hair..." Song Yunhui was still a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Shucheng with a wave of his hand.

"Xiaohui, you are still too young, but you have learned some knowledge from books and have not been practiced yet. Rabbit hair and agricultural products, because they are only primary products, will not fluctuate too much in prices, so they will not have too much impact on enterprises in other counties and cities. However, enterprises such as brick and tile factories and prefabricated panel factories are actually involved in the processing industry, which has a great impact on other regions and will affect local income and employment, so they will not be able to see them stay still."

County Magistrate Xu looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Dongbao, what else do you have to say? Let's talk about it together."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Xiaohui's idea is indeed good, but all of this is under one premise, that is, the market economy. The main body of the market economy is for personal interests. The premise of obtaining personal interests is to maximize the interests of the entire economy, which can promote the economic development of the entire society to a certain extent. We are now in parallel with the planned economy and the unplanned economy, not a real market economy, so Xiaohui's idea does not work at all, at least not for a short period of time."

County Magistrate Xu nodded, looking at Song Yunhui who was still a little dissatisfied, and said, "Yes, Dongbao is right. Although Xiaohui's idea is very good, the economy of every place has its own unique rules and tricks. When you really get into work in the future, you will gradually understand."

In the evening, Zhao Shucheng and County Mayor Xu were drinking and chatting in the team office.

"Dongbao, the Central Document No. 1 of January 1 this year, made decisions on accelerating agricultural development, increasing agricultural product purchase prices, improving agricultural production responsibility system, and developing multiple operations. A series of policy measures will be taken to adjust and reform the rural economy, thereby stimulating the production enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of farmers and promoting the vigorous development of the rural economy."

"This document clearly states that the various responsibility systems currently implemented in rural areas, including fixed remuneration, joint factory contract remuneration, production to households, and full-time households. These are all part of the production responsibility system of the socialist collective economy. No matter what form is taken, as long as the masses do not require changes, they will not change."

Zhao Shucheng laughed after hearing this and said, "County Magistrate Xu, I feel much more at ease when I hear you say this. However, although our Xiao Lei family now has households, there are new changes now. That is, the village has established an agricultural cooperative, and villagers use land to invest in shares, and there are special cooperative workers to farm. Instead, others only enjoy dividends and do not have to farm themselves. They can make time to enter the factory to work. This method should be OK, right?"

County Magistrate Xu was stunned when he heard this. He was already surprised that after entering Xiao Lei's family, he saw that the farmland of Xiao Lei's family was a large piece, with no dividing line at all. He thought it was a hidden dividing line, but now it seems that there is no dividing line.

"I need to consider this issue. After all, the original contracting of households or other forms was based on public ownership of land. Farmers maintain a contract relationship with the collective, and the land is managed and used by the collective. Doing this should actually be considered collective contracting of land, and then several people will be allowed to farm. This..."

In fact, he thinks this is also a kind of exploitation relationship, but it makes sense. After all, most people exploit a small number of people, and those who are exploited get paid, and they are even willing to do such jobs, which is difficult to evaluate.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Actually, I think this method is better, because it can liberate the productivity of the Xiao Lei family and invest more production and manufacturing. Before, we contracted production to households. When it was busy with farming, the Xiao Lei family's industry needed to stop and let workers harvest crops, which in turn delayed the development of the enterprise. This is the contradiction between the rural collective economy and individual farmers, and it is also a food security issue. So I was thinking about it over and over again and adopted the relationship of contracting to households and turning to co-production to old age."

When County Magistrate Xu heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he felt that it was understandable and not considered exploitation, so he nodded and said, "It's good. After this document is released, it will be a good thing for your Xiao Lei family."

"You not only did not go wrong, but also took the right path. The county party committee meeting decided to set a model for your Xiao Lei family. This is equivalent to giving your Xiao Lei family wings. How far you go and how high you fly in the future depends on how capable you have."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "County Magistrate Xu, I won't say anything, I'll give you a cup."
