After listening to Zhou Jingming's statement, Li Mingzhe fell into deep thought, although it has been nearly five years since the implementation of reform and opening up in China, but the idea of planned economy is still affecting all walks of life in China, especially special industries such as the automobile industry.

"Xiao Zhou, I can understand everything you say, but I have a few questions for you. Li Mingzhe felt that it was necessary to find out what Zhou Jingming's specific plan was, otherwise such an opening could not be opened casually.

Director Li asked. Zhou Jingming responded with a smile.

"If the ministry and the Economic Commission really agree to liberalize production control, how sure are you that you will enter the private consumer market, or can you really guarantee that the Chinese people can afford to buy the cars you produce?" asked Li Mingzhe solemnly.

Zhou Jingming smiled, "Director Li, you said this problem, we have already considered it before we came, we said that the liberalization of production control does not mean that the ministry will give us the right to produce all at once, but gradually liberalize, and the production indicators issued by the ministry will definitely be completed on time,"

"But in addition to the indicators, we want to have a certain degree of autonomy, just like the household contract responsibility system in Xiaogang Village, Anhui Province, I believe that this must be the trend of reform and opening up, as for whether the private consumer market can afford or not, it also depends on the decision of the ministry. ”

"Private consumption also depends on our decision-making?" asked Lee Ming-che with some puzzlement.

"While gaining a certain degree of autonomy in production, we also want to ask the ministry to relax the control of prices, and the price of car sales is completely determined by us, or by the market. Zhou Jingming paused, and then continued, "Or, if you feel that it is not appropriate to completely liberalize prices and let us set our own prices, we can also implement a dual-track price system, and the prices of private consumption and official procurement can remain different." ”

The dual-track price system was not uncommon in the 80s, and the "official downfall" was also caused to a large extent by this.

"The dual-track system is definitely not going to work, it is easy to cause market chaos, and the price of private consumption is definitely lower than the price of the official purchaser, so such a dual-track system is meaningful, but if you do this, you are treating the government as the wrongdoer. Li Mingzhe hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"So, the problem is back to the beginning, our car factory, want to get the right to set prices independently, Director Li thinks, can the ministry agree to such a request?" Zhou Jingming continued to ask.

Li Mingzhe thought for a moment, but this time he looked at Xu Guanglu, "The power you just proposed to obtain independent production and independent pricing means that you will have to be responsible for your own profits and losses to a large extent in the future, and you have to think about it, after taking care of your own profits and losses, all the funds you need can no longer rely on financial allocations, but rely on your own ability to go to the bank for loans, which is very important." ”

In the 80s, all state-owned factories were managed to win or lose, and all necessary funds were obtained by the government's financial allocation.

This time, Zhou Jingming did not speak again, but quietly waited for Xu Guanglu's answer, what Li Mingzhe said, Zhou Jingming really did not consider before, self-financing, for the state-owned factory in the eighties, it takes a lot of courage, Xu Guanglu is the actual person in charge of the car factory, such a decision can only be handed over to him to do.

Unexpectedly, Xu Guanglu only thought about it for a while, and then replied with a smile, "If the ministry is really willing to delegate these two powers, then our car factory is naturally willing to take risks and take responsibility for its own profits and losses." ”

After a pause, Xu Guanglu suddenly stood up, "If their Western car manufacturers can be self-financing, and they can become bigger and stronger under such conditions, then we can do it too!"

Li Mingzhe was silent, Xu Guanglu, who was about to retire in a few years, still had such a great determination, and he, as the person in charge of the competent department, should not shirk it.

"Well, since you have all said so, if I am still stubborn, then I, the director of the Policy Division, am too incompetent. You are looking for me this time, you probably want me to reflect your plan to the ministry, right?" Li Mingzhe looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.

Zhou Jingming nodded, "That's right, Director Li, we are afraid that it is a bit inappropriate to report directly to the ministry, so we thought of coming to you to discuss it first." Zhou Jingming hurriedly replied.

"Okay, then you stay in Yanjing for a few more days, and I will report this matter to Minister Ma, and then I will inform you when there is news." ”

Now that Li Mingzhe has promised them, Zhou Jingming and Xu Guanglu are relieved, no matter what the final result is, with such a good start, the next result is worth looking forward to.

After lunch, the two of them went to the guest house to rest, and the rush was indeed tiring enough, but not long after the two of them lay down, they received a call from Li Mingzhe and asked them to go to the mechanical engineering department immediately.

Zhou Jingming and Xu Guanglu didn't dare to delay, and when they called at this time, it must be that the ministry had responded to the plan they proposed.

When the two of them hurried to the mechanical engineering department, Lee Ming-che was already waiting for them at the entrance of the administrative building.

"Minister Ma wants to see you in a while, and then you can talk to Minister Ma well. After Li Mingzhe saw the two, he said with a smile.

"By the way, Minister Ma is very interested in your proposal. Lee Ming-che did not forget to add.

Hearing him say this, Zhou Jingming and Xu Guanglu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the leaders of the ministry are still very visionary.

Under the leadership of Li Mingzhe, the two of them soon came to Ma Tianning's office, and Zhou Jingming was not the first time he had seen Ma Tianning, so he didn't feel nervous at all, but Xu Guanglu was the first time he saw Ma Tianning, and after entering, he couldn't help but be a little restrained.

"Sit down. Ma Tianning smiled and beckoned, "You are the director of SAIC Car Factory, Xu! I used to hear your name in the report, but now I finally see you, the car factory is under your leadership, and the results are very good, on behalf of the department, thank you." ”

"When Minister Ma said that, I was a little flattered. Xu Guanglu hurriedly said.

"Okay, let's get down to business, Xiao Li told me your plan, I thought about it, I really can't let your production capacity have so much idleness. But, can you afford to give you so much power at once?" Ma Tianning paused and continued, "The domestic private consumer market is not so easy to open for a while, even if you reduce the price, there will not be many people who can afford it. ”

"What Minister Ma said is also reasonable, our opinion is that the ministry will try its best to increase your production quota, and can also relax your production and price controls to a certain extent, but the magnitude will not be too large, unless you are sure that you are completely self-responsible. Lee Ming-che also said on the side.

Zhou Jingming, who was sitting there, suddenly brightened his eyes, "Minister Ma just said that the domestic market will not be able to meet our production needs for a while, so what if we look farther?"

"For example, can we try to open up overseas markets?"
