Chapter 64 Competition—The Core of Economic Development
The old man Gong's dollar had already arrived, and Li Yadong carefully nodded it in front of him, totaling 87,500 yuan. Such a large amount of foreign exchange, carried to those state-owned factories that are eager to import production machinery, can envy the dead person. I don't know how many years this old man has been holding, or if his children have become rich.
After class the next morning, Li Yadong came to Zhao Wuyi's office, and his luck was not bad, Zhao Wuyi was lying on the small wooden table preparing for class.
"Li Yadong, if you don't show up again, I won't be able to find you. Zhao Wuyi looked at him with a smile.
"Teacher Zhao, it's not that exaggerated. Li Yadong smiled, although the situation was not as extreme as she said, it was not too much.
He is almost a transparent person at Peking University, and occasionally haunts during class, and usually except for Sun Weiguo and the others, few other classmates can know his whereabouts.
"It's not necessarily a good thing for young people to keep a low profile...... Anyway, that's all I'll say, think about it yourself. Zhao Wuyi said, and looked at his hand.
"Mr. Zhao, this is this quarter's paper. Li Yadong handed over a few pieces of stationery in his hand in a timely manner.
"You sit down for a while, drink the water and pour it yourself, there are empty cups on the table over the thermos. ”
After Zhao Wuyi explained, he looked down at the paper.
Li Yadong was really thirsty, so he was not polite, he got a glass of boiled water by himself, sat on the bench opposite and drank hot air.
After a while, Zhao Wuyi raised his head and asked in surprise, "Private enterprise?"
"Yes. Li Yadong nodded, and the name of his paper was "On the Inevitability of Private Enterprises".
"You wait......" Zhao Wuyi obviously had something to ask him, and after brushing the strand of hair that had fallen down, he continued to lower his head, as if he was ready to finish reading the whole paper.
After about twenty minutes, she finally put down the letter in her hand and looked up at Li Yadong, "This is impossible, although several of the points mentioned in your paper are very forward-looking, and I also believe that the state will further relax the business scope of self-employed people, but if it is said that it is impossible to develop private enterprises to compete with state-owned enterprises, it is absolutely impossible, it is completely unnecessary, what are the benefits of doing this?"
"Of course there are advantages, and the advantage is competition. Li Yadong replied with a smile.
“…… Competition?" Zhao Wuyi was puzzled, "Let the working people stand on the opposite side of the country? Won't this affect the unity of the country if they move forward hand in hand to compete with each other?"
Li Yadong knows that her thoughts are actually a concern shared by most economists in this era, and even at the central level, she has the same scruples.
What's the difference between the self-employed and the private sector? The only difference is size.
Should this scale be liberalized, and will it have an impact on the originally mature state-owned enterprise system, or even out of control, so that both sides lose?
"Mr. Zhao, what I call competition is a kind of healthy competition, and it is undoubtedly a good thing for us to anticipate the worst outcome before we act, but we should not be shrouded in the fear of failure and become stagnant. ”
"I understand what you said, I admit that it is feasible to put it on an individual, and it is not a big deal to lose if you fight, but the country can't do it, the country can't afford to lose!" Zhao Wuyi shook his head, feeling that his thoughts were still a little whimsical, or too optimistic.
"That's good......" Li Yadong decided to elaborate on this issue from a different angle, "Teacher, have you ever heard of 'affiliation'?"
Zhao Wuyi nodded, "I know this, it's actually an act of rubbing the sidelines." ”
"Then why do you think those people are attached?"
Zhao Wuyi couldn't help but be stunned, she actually had an answer in her heart - seeking an umbrella, or seeking a support. But I didn't say it, because it didn't feel like it was going to be that simple.
Li Yadong saw that she was silent, and said a big truth that everyone knows, but no one has studied deeply, "In fact, they are private enterprises, because they are beyond the scope of self-employed, so they have to be affiliated." ”
"This ......" Zhao Wuyi was speechless, because ...... That seems to be the case.
"So, teacher, after the existence of these affiliated 'super self-employed people', has the country progressed or regressed? Take our capital as an example, there are not thousands of people who are affiliated but hundreds of them, is there any disunity in the society?"
"Perhaps...... Is it because they are not strong enough to have an impact on state-owned enterprises, so the contradictions have not yet unfolded?" Zhao Wuyi replied thoughtfully.
Li Yadong smiled, shook his head and said: "Teacher, I have done some understanding in this regard, in fact, many affiliated 'super self-employed' are not as unbearable as you think, but their products are of high quality and low price, which are better than the products of state-owned enterprises of the same type, and are in short supply in the market." ”
"According to an example, some time ago here in Wudaokou, a tailor shop remade a batch of bell bottoms out of suit pants, and they sold better than southern goods on the market, can you guess the impact of this trivial matter?"
Li Yadong paused when he said this, crossed his fingers and continued: "As I know, after this incident, at least seven garment factories in the capital began to produce bell bottoms. ”
"You ......" Zhao Wuyi looked at him in surprise, thinking about what this guy was doing all day long, how could he understand the things of the clothing industry so clearly.
How did she know that the example given by Li Yadong happened to her.
"Then according to what you mean, the state will definitely open up private enterprises, and let them develop and grow almost without restrictions, even if the state-owned enterprises are hit to pieces?"
"Yes, it's inevitable. Li Yadong nodded very firmly, in fact, he has been waiting for an opportunity, the specific date has been forgotten, only remember that it was 1988, that year the state will officially promulgate the "Interim Regulations on Private Enterprises", and write it into the "Constitution", only then, do business does not have to be so timid.
"Mr. Zhao, or just said the word 'competition', Mencius's 'born in sorrow and died in peace', in fact, it is particularly applicable in the economic field, without competition can not promote high-speed development, the current state-owned enterprises seem to be a little too comfortable, with the impact of private enterprises, even if there will be a batch of falls, but in the long run, it is not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, those who can resist this torrent and not fall will surely be the pillars of the country in the future. ”
Zhao Wuyi was unconsciously imagining the situation of this day in her mind, and from this level, she seemed to have agreed with Li Yadong's point of view, so that she was very concerned about this matter, and hurriedly asked, "How long do you think it will take?"
"Soon, within a few years. ”
"So fast?" Zhao Wuyi felt a little incredible, she studied the economy, but now she was very sad to find that her research speed could not keep up with the changes in the market.
Is it really that sitting in the office for a long time has been derailed from the times?
Li Yadong took advantage of her stunned stall and finally had the opportunity to say the main purpose of coming here today, handing in the paper is actually just a sideline, after all, there is still time to spare.
"Why are you going to take a leave of absence for about ten days?" Zhao Wuyi first suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and couldn't help asking.
"Go to Hailan, there is a lot of reform going on over there, I don't know if you've heard of it. Li Yadong told the truth, but he didn't reveal the reversing in the past, in fact, in this era, social practice activities are often held in universities, and some of the places where they run are not close, but most of them are just groups.
"Hailan, it's quite far away......" Zhao Wuyi didn't know much about what was going on over there, after all, it was still unknown whether the central government had received the news at this time, and after thinking about it, he said: "To be honest, you may be the best student I have ever had, I don't want to restrict your development, you have to go and see, I don't object, but you must pay attention to safety, and at the same time ensure that you can't fall behind in your studies." ”
"Good. Li Yadong smiled and nodded, he was glad to meet such an enlightened head teacher as Zhao Wuyi.
She may not be the best economist, but she is definitely a valuable life coach.
