Chapter 45: The Capitalists

As soon as he heard the word capitalist, Chang Guoqing, who was still talking and laughing, suddenly became gloomy: "What kind of capitalist, don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to do it, can you just buckle your hat?"

"Hey, isn't the owner of a private entrepreneur who employs 8 people a capitalist? If you go into the steel business and expand the scale a little, it will be easy to break through this number...... Chang Tianhao crossed his fingers and smiled, "The accountant wants one, right? Adopt one, right? Invoice one? 1-2 warehouse managers are indispensable, and there must be a delivery driver, right? Isn't this just 5-6 employees? If you expand the scale a little, you will immediately break 8 people, and if you break 8, you will not break 8, but the theoretical basis for determining whether there is exploitation is ......"

Hearing his son say this, Chang Guoqing was silent: since 1981, when the People's Daily discussed the issue of Chen Zhixiong's contracted fishpond employees, the discussion on whether hired workers were exploitative has not stopped in the theoretical circles.

Finally, economists draw out the classics and draw conclusions from Marx's "Capital": those who employ less than seven workers and make money for their own consumption are considered self-employed, and those who employ more than eight workers produce surplus value, even if they are exploited, they are capitalists.

In fact, the 7 and 8 are just random examples given by Marx in order to explain his theory, in other words, if he had given 11 and 12 examples at the beginning, then the criterion for evaluating capitalists would have become whether there were more than 12.

In 1984, the central authorities issued a document pointing out that enterprises that currently employ more than a quorum of workers should not be treated as capitalist workers. It was not until 1987 that the "Document No. 5" was issued, that is, the 16-character policy of allowing the existence of the government, strengthening management, promoting the advantages and suppressing the disadvantages, and gradually guiding the situation became the basis for unification.

However, Chang Guoqing is a veteran party member, and although he saw the words "allowed to exist," his understanding on the other hand is a little frightening: It is allowed now, but what if it is not allowed in the future? When the land reform was first completed, the land was still distributed to every household, but within a few years, it became a matter of taking the road of collectivization, and those who wanted to work alone were criticized. Now that we are encouraging the development of the employment economy, what if we turn around and criticize it one day?

Wearing a top hat and sitting in a jet suit during the mass movement is not fun, the son just looked at some internal historical materials and was used to making jokes, he had seen the real scene: the criticism and parade in the streets can be said to be forced, and it would be miserable to beat gongs and drums while walking and shout "I am a reactionary××× to the neighbors", of course, this is not the worst, the worst thing is those rightists who did not take off their hats, and if there was a random person who had a public meal to talk to him, he would tremble like chaff——" I repent, I am guilty, I am sorry for the party, I am sorry for the people......"

Of course, the son is joking, although the central government has also issued a document, but it is impossible to say that Chang Guoqing does not play drums in his heart. If he was a common man who didn't understand anything, seeing his son so developed, he would definitely dry up without saying a word and with a hot head. He was born at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, grew up under the red flag, received party education for many years, had more than 20 years of party experience, and served as a section-level cadre.

Seeing that Daddy was still groaning.

Chang Tianhao decided to intensify the crackdown: "Oh, by the way, Dad, you have long been a family member of the capitalist class - doesn't my uncle's barber shop have 8 employees?"

Hearing the "family members of the capitalist class", Chang Guoqing couldn't help but blow his beard and glare, but was stopped by Chang's mother: "Okay, okay, your father is old-fashioned, I should be the general manager, anyway, this household is also run in my name, in the future, I will hire your father, I will be a capitalist, your father will continue to be a working class, I will pay him a salary......"

Chang Tianhao couldn't help but wonder.

Chang's mother glanced at her husband and said, "Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, the son of a mouse will make holes, the son of the working class is still the working class;

Of course, this sentence has a profound meaning: Chang Tianhao's grandfather raised a group of ducks in the 60s, laid duck eggs to exchange things with others, and cooked the channel as soon as he came and went, and then helped the neighbors around him to take it to change, after all, the little thing with the ticket was really not enough, and then he was charged with "speculation" and imprisoned in re-education through labor for a year, and all the ducks were confiscated, and in the end I don't know which revolutionaries were cheaper, and there was nothing wrong with the others, and it was okay to release it later.

It is precisely because of the shadow on the family background that Chang's mother worked hard when she went to the countryside, and she was widely praised as a barefoot doctor, and she also appeared in the "Xishan Daily" intellectual youth figure publicity, which can be regarded as diluting all this matter. Now that the old words are brought up again, Chang's mother can't help but laugh at herself.

Chang Guoqing took a heavy puff of his cigarette and said to his son: "Let your mother be the legal representative, but now you can hire up to 7 people, and you must not 8." On the one hand, the risk is that on the other hand, the company has just been set up, how can it rush so many employees to the company? Is this not a state-owned enterprise that is superficial? We can't be laid off, and we can only have seven people in a streamlined and streamlined way!"

Chang Tianhao pouted, Dad is still worrying about 7 or 8, he has hired No. 40 people in the magic capital, and he is still recruiting troops!

The reason why we have to talk about 7 or 8 capitalist issues with our families is not that we really can't pass the ideological test, but in the final analysis, it is to dilute the interrogation and influence on making a fortune on ourselves.

Chang Guoqing was too lazy to care about how Chang Tianhao's money was earned, and he was not even interested in going to see the car with Chang Mu, in his words: What is good-looking, isn't it just 4 wheels and two sets of sofas? He is constantly taking stock of the manpower to see how to arrange the manpower reasonably, not only to ensure that there are enough 7 people, but also to find enough suitable candidates, and not to make too much fanfare.

Chang's mother happily sat in Chang Tianhao's car for a ride, feeling very good, Chang Tianhao took the opportunity to whisper: "Mom, you persuade my dad to learn to drive, I'll buy you a car to drive, start low-key first, just Santana......"

Chang's mother nodded, turned her head and started to worry again: "I have no opinion on going to Sanliyang to pour steel, I have long wanted to sell hardware and building materials, every time I go to the commercial city to buy, I envy those bosses who are doing a lot of business, but that place is too far away from Xishan, and it is inconvenient to go home every day......

"I forgot about this...... Chang Tianhao patted his head, "I'll go to the north of the city tomorrow to have a look, buy a house first, be close to the market, it's convenient to commute, and then have a car, and life will be better." ”

He does have a house in the west of the city, but the place is still a little far away from Sanliyang, which is not very convenient, and he has to consider buying a house in the north of the city. Anyway, the business will not gradually open until after the Chinese New Year, and all aspects will be in time.

"Buy?" Chang's mother turned her head suspiciously, "Son, you and Mom are honest, how much money do you make?

Chang Tianhao pondered for a moment and said, "Not much, not much, seven or eight million more." ”

"Ahh

"Don't tell my dad, I guess he won't be able to sleep after hearing it. ”

"I definitely can't sleep, he will lose sleep as soon as you take out the 2 million...... Chang's mother smiled, "I won't tell him, don't worry." ”

"You don't have to pay me for living expenses in the future. ”

"That's different, what we give you is what we give, and you earn it yourself. Chang's mother advised, "Don't spend money in school, you are still studying, pay attention to the influence, since ancient times, it has been said that wealth is not exposed, and you are a little swaggering when you drive a car now." ”

"This ......"

"But it's okay, don't believe your dad, your dad was more fun-loving than you when he was young, and a friend of him bought a Jialing light bike, and the two often got together to drive a motorcycle on their days off, and when the brakes failed, they drove into the river, which was said to be more than 10 years ago...... Believe it or not, when I go back in your car, he will have to ask me if I am sitting well and if I am comfortable. ”

Okay, he said no, his body is still very honest, and Chang Tianhao can't help but be happy.

In the evening, Chang Tianhao, who came back from a ride, called Lu Xiaomin: "Xiaomin, I'm in Qiantang, I'm going to register a steel trading company on Monday and then meet with you, how are you doing?"

"My dad...... Dad, he was hospitalized. "It's okay not to make this call, as soon as I called, Lu Xiaomin's voice of crying came from the microphone.

Chang Tianhao frowned: "What's the matter? Why are you angry with your dad like this? Isn't it for you to say it well......

"It's not me, it's Gao Yang......"

Hearing the news that Gao Yang had bought a house for Xiaoxue and that the latter was pregnant, Chang Tianhao was dumbfounded, and his whole person was messy: this senior brother once again refreshed his cognition.

"Does it matter to people, is there any danger?"

"Fortunately, my dad has always had a slight heart attack, and he usually pays attention to it, and he also carries medicine with him, but this time he is mainly too angry...... That slut was pregnant and my dad heard it with his own ears. ”

What else can I say about this, Chang Tianhao only sighed, so he didn't comment much, so as not to arouse Lu Xiaomin's sadness again.

"Will you come over tomorrow?" Lu Xiaomin said softly, "I have prepared the application form for you, and my dad and the market have also called in advance, you can fill it out and send it in, and they will handle it according to the normal process......

"Don't worry, don't worry, you let Uncle recuperate with peace of mind, my business is okay. ”

"Come on, I want to see you...... I ......"

"I'm coming to see your dad tomorrow and take a look at ......you by the way," Chang Tianhao whispered, "Is Gao Yang there?"

"He's not here, he wanted to come and be kicked away by my mom, and now I'm in the hospital. ”

"Xiao Min, you shouldn't send your father to the people of the province, even if you send it to the first and second provinces, but you shouldn't go to the people of the province......" Chang Tianhao whispered, "These are all your acquaintances......"

Lu Xiaomin cried again: "I was in a panic, and I subconsciously sent it in, thinking only about the most familiar and convenient ...... I am here."

"Yes, if you care, you will be ......" Chang Tianhao sighed, "Have a good rest, let's meet and talk to you tomorrow......"
