Chapter 268: Stand on the last shift
In 1982, there were no migrant workers, and there was no Spring Festival return to their hometowns for the workplace - because the state assigned you to work in whichever city you were assigned to work in by default, you were from where you were, and what was there to return to your "ancestral hometown".
This kind of understanding has led to the fact that all government agencies, state-owned enterprises and institutions still have to go to work on the 29th of the lunar month, and the Chinese New Year's Eve is officially closed, and it is unlikely that anyone will leave early. The country thinks that you can celebrate the New Year as long as you go home from work, and you don't have to go to other places, how convenient.
Therefore, in the last week of the year, Gu Biao still had to work diligently in the unit, and stood on the last shift before going abroad on a business trip after the New Year. As for other projects, I have to put it aside for now.
This policy of compulsory bundling of work and hukou has many implications.
For example, poor Gu Biao said a tragic detail that he hadn't noticed for many years: that is, since he went to the Foreign Affairs Academy more than four years ago, his household registration book was actually forcibly changed to a Beijing household registration.
And after he graduated and was assigned a job, it was even more logical that he registered his household registration from the school to the unit, that is, the Foreign Investment Commission, and settled in that house after officially dividing the house.
In the 21st century, the humane policies that allowed college students to choose whether or not to move their hukou to the city where the university is located and to complete the hukou do not exist today.
In later generations, the staff of the university's academic affairs office did everything possible to intimidate and trick the rural freshmen into giving up their peasant hukou and moving to the school, and then they were slapped on the table by the angry students and said cruelly: "Move Nima coins! Dare to force labor-management to believe it or not, I won't go to your dog university! An urban village hukou with a degree of education can be worth a lot of money, and labor-management can earn more than the president in a lifetime."
However, fortunately, Gu Biao is only a resident in Qiantang, and he has nothing to lose, and he will not suffer a loss when he changes to the capital, so he has chosen to forget about it for many years. In this life, he is a person who wants to be a big man, and it is a bit embarrassing to care about the hukou anymore.
Without further ado, Gu Biao was divided into two days of work, and when he got off work on the 26th of the lunar month, Director Bao asked him to stay.
"Xiao Gu, come over for a moment) You know about the year-end summary report meeting the day after tomorrow, right?"
"You know, didn't Secretary Liu inform me just now?" Gu Biao carried his briefcase, turned around and walked into Director Bao's office, and replied politely behind closed doors.
The secretary Liu he mentioned was the secretary of the deputy director. Therefore, when the committee holds a meeting, if Secretary Liu comes to inform it, it means that the meeting is generally presided over by the deputy director, rather than the director himself.
As for the composition of the participants in the meeting, Gu Biao also knew. Those are all the people of the former bureaus of heavy industry in charge of the deputy director, and they have nothing to do with attracting investment in agriculture, animal husbandry and light industry.
In layman's terms, the Foreign Investment Commission is a large committee with 20 departments and bureaus and several thousand people. As for the deputy director of Gu Biao, there are only five divisions, 30 divisions, and 6700 employees.
The year-end summary report meeting notified by Secretary Liu was only attended by cadres at or above the department level, and it had nothing to do with grassroots employees, so a large conference room with a total of 50 people could sit down.
Director Bao nodded, walked up to Gu Biao, and handed him a piece of paper: "Have you inquired about the content of the meeting?"
Gu Biao replied cautiously: "This...... I don't want to ask much at my level. Listening to Secretary Liu's tone, I vaguely discussed the handover after the year, and sorted out if there is anything to check and fill in?"
In March and April after the new year, the Foreign Investment Commission was going to withdraw and merge the matter, and now it has been spread all over the world, and everyone in the committee knows about it. Considering that the handover of work will take at least a month, it is less than two months to really give everyone practical things and promote substantive work.
At this meeting held a year ago, the deputy director must sort out what else is confiscated and focus on following up.
However, Director Bao apparently knows better:
"What Secretary Liu informed was just the words of the official - the deputy director was not going to take Secretary Liu to the Ministry of Electronics Industry, she was not right. So there is something, the deputy director called me again just afternoon.
Let me inform those comrades who are going to go with him to the Ministry of Electronics Industry, especially those like you, who will be on a business trip after the year, to prepare in advance - of course, you don't have to be burdened, this is not to engage in small collective interests, but also to carry out work faster and better in the new ministries and commissions in the future. β
Gu Biao's spirits perked up: "I understand, you command." β
Gu Biao can be regarded as a person who has been officially working in the ministry for more than a year, and he is following the old fox of Kissinger's rank, and now his ability to listen to voiceovers is particularly strengthened.
Director Bao cleared his throat:
"Then I'll say it bluntly, the deputy director hopes that everyone will work together to see if they can formulate some favorable support policies for the layout of the national electronics industry in the last three months of the Foreign Investment Commission, or clarify the rights and responsibilities, the specifics are not limited. If you have time these days, whether you go to work or go back from work, think about it and write down whatever comes to mind. After the meeting the day after tomorrow, maybe the deputy director will leave a few people down for a separate consultation and discussion - do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, understood. β
"Keep a low profile about this, and you don't know anything until the deputy director asks about it. β
"That's a must. β
"Then let me tell you about it, I have two thoughts on this matter at the moment...... What does Lao Qin next door think......" Director Bao whispered some ideas again, which can be regarded as inspiring Gu Ao.
Then Gu Biao pretended that nothing had happened and got off work.
What Director Bao explained to him, Gu Biao already understood the motivation behind it.
After the New Year, the deputy director will be appointed as the newly established minister of electronics industry after the withdrawal and merger of the Foreign Investment Commission, which is already a sure thing.
In this case, in the last three months, I can take advantage of the opportunity to control the state's investment attraction and formulate preferential policies for foreign-funded enterprises. There is nothing wrong with introducing foreign advanced technology and capital for the country's electronics industry, seeking more preferential tariffs for raw materials for electronics companies, or simplifying some approval procedures and improving the response speed and competitiveness of enterprises.
Some things, such as wanting to reduce incoming tariffs for electronic processing entrepot trade enterprises, are easy to do in the position of deputy director, but after reaching the position of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, they cannot do it.
This is definitely not the abuse of power for personal gain, but the upright use of power for public welfare. Make some preparations for the unit you want to go to in the future to better carry out work and win political achievements. Everyone does this, and there is absolutely no risk of making mistakes.
Listening to Director Bao's meaning, the deputy director originally estimated that after the year-end summary meeting was almost opened, he would first announce the end of the meeting, and then let some henchmen find excuses to stay again, and then assign this task to let everyone think about it when they go back for the New Year. After returning to work after the New Year, I will formally discuss, layout, and surprise introduce policies.
However, because Gu Biao and a group of confidant directors (including deputy bureaus) and directors may have to go on business trips after the year. For example, Qin Guogang, who has to contribute to the business of Monaco like Gu Biao, is facing the same business trip schedule as Gu Biao.
Therefore, through Director Bao, I will first assign homework to these henchmen who are going on a business trip after the New Year, think about it for a few days, and then stay alone after the meeting the day after tomorrow and report first.
Because Gu Biao received the notice in a hurry, he didn't prepare any good ideas in advance.
From his point of view, he was not very concerned about this matter in the first place - because the advice was well planned, the work would definitely be carried out much more smoothly for the future minister, and the political achievements would be easy to produce. But for a person at the level of Gu Biao, it is not of much help.
Even if he wants to make suggestions, he must be a little selfish, hoping to create a more open environment for himself and Han Ting's business.
"I'm going to have to think about it...... It's better to suggest something to deal with, and it's better to look like we've moved our brains a little......"
Back at home, Gu Biao lit a cigar and leaned back on the sofa to die of bitterness.
His first instinct was to borrow from his colleagues.
So he first sorted out the thoughts of Director Bao and Qin Guogang just now.
The idea of the two people is mainly based on the tax reduction of imported materials, which can be said to coincide.
After all, in the general environment at the beginning of 1982, the country's electronic production and processing industry, compared with other heavy industries, the biggest bottleneck in the development of foreign-related affairs was the issue of tariffs.
The proportion of contract processing in the electronics industry is too high, and so many CPU chips cannot be produced by themselves.
There are also many high-precision components, which can be made in China theoretically, but the quality and accuracy and stability are very different from those of foreign goods.
To take the most classic example, as we all know, in later generations, whether it is a TV or a computer, the motherboard is damaged and repaired, and the most common fault is that the electrolytic capacitor is dried up and fails. Often, if the other motherboard is not broken, it must be the electrolytic capacitor that is broken first.
82 years of domestic factory production for a variety of home appliances motherboard electrolytic capacitors,Speaking of indicators, the indicators are reached,After installation,It is said that the TV set of this product is not bad for more than ten years,Domestic is to replace the electrolytic capacitor every four or five yearsγ In this case, home appliance companies want to play brand reputation, make high-quality and stable TV exports, sometimes use the electrolytic capacitors of the component factory, it is no way, in fact, it doesn't cost much, and other domestic ones are still domestic.
If you want to produce finished electronic products and earn foreign exchange for export, you must first endure spending foreign exchange when importing necessary raw materials.
Director Bao and Qin Guogang also thought of this, but they worked in different directions.
In the casual chat just after work, Gu Biao roughly understood that Director Bao's suggestion was to use the last few months of the Foreign Investment Commission to establish an "export tax rebate according to the proportion of raw material imports" for electronic finished products.
Qin Guogang's suggestion is to directly establish a second-level duty-free zone similar to the military administration and customs - this practice, which has been slightly mentioned in China now, is actually equivalent to the "duty-free island" established on Hailan Island in about 84 or 85 years in the later generations.
Historically, in February '84, the state will set up the second batch of open cities, and add a sea blue island. In particular, taking advantage of the geographical characteristics of Hailan Island, which is far away from the mainland and subject to additional control in and out of the island, the navy cooperates with the customs to screen the materials entering and leaving the island. In this way, many imported raw materials and materials for entrepot trade can be exempted from duty, and at the same time, these duty-free materials for production and foreign exchange earnings can be prevented from being consumed by the people of the country.
After all, Hailan Island is only so much population and land, and the worst case scenario is nothing more than that the people on the island can have the luxury of directly consuming imported materials, and the billion people on the mainland can be blocked.
The original intention of this trick is that the country has seen that Wanwan has been so prosperous in recent years and has developed rapidly by relying on processing with supplied materials, so it is red-eyed and wants to build Hailan Island into a second bay.
But Gu Biao knows the history, and he also knows that this trick was not very successful - even with such strict control, the approval and privilege loopholes on the island at that time were still rampant, and finally led to a large amount of duty-free import quota being used to buy imported cars, and frantically smuggled around the country for resale, spending a lot of foreign exchange reserves that had been painstakingly accumulated in the past few years. In the end, the state also shot many arbitrage criminals with heavy hands. (The state had good intentions and hoped that this exemption from import duties would be used to buy raw materials for entrepot trade.) But at the time of execution, someone took it to sell the car. οΌ
Therefore, of course, Gu Biao would not agree with Qin Guogang's suggestion.
She felt that it was necessary for her to demonstrate a third route that was different from the ideas of Director Bao and Qin Guogang, but had the same purpose. Maybe it can't be implemented for the time being, but after all, it is an explanation to the deputy director, so that they can open up their thinking and fulfill their duty as an official for one year.
