On the afternoon of the day before the wedding. In addition to talking about things with his elder brother Fan Kang, Fan Wuxian also met with Lu Yunxiang, a senior manager of a former state-owned enterprise newly recruited by the company, who now works at the headquarters of Fan's Investment Group and is responsible for inspecting the business activities of its various enterprises.

Lu Yunxiang was favored by Fan Wuxian and specially transferred to the headquarters to serve.

At the job fair of Fan's Investment Group before, Lu Yunxiang, who was already in his forties, submitted his resume, because Fan Wuxian once said that for older job seekers, the door could not be completely sealed, and the people at the headquarters studied his resume in detail and made a trial decision.

Later, Fan Wuxian saw Lu Yunxiang's resume and expressed concern, this time Lu Yunxiang came over to thank him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he reported to Fan Wuxian for some bad situations in the enterprise.

"I grew up in the countryside since I was a child, and when I was a child, I had a dream in my heart to become a worker in a state-owned enterprise." Lu Yunxiang is a relatively talkative person, he said to Fan Wuxian, "My father is an old Eighth Road, joined the army at the age of fifteen, and later left the army to work as a farmer because of a bullet wound in the head. ”

Lu Yunxiang's hometown is an old revolutionary area at the foot of Taihang Mountain, which is still very poor. More than a decade ago, some of the land could be irrigated by reservoirs, but today, more than a decade later, due to the disrepair of water conservancy facilities and climate change, it is dependent on the weather.

However, when he grew up, he was not able to work in the factory in his hometown, but he was lucky to catch the college entrance examination, was admitted to a science and engineering university, and after graduating from university, he came to a state-owned coal mine, lived in a collective dormitory with ordinary workers, and had the opportunity to have direct contact with the workers.

Many years later, Lu Yunxiang was transferred to the provincial organs, and went deep into state-owned enterprises as an assistant inspector and a full-time supervisor of the provincial state-owned enterprise board of supervisors. For state-owned enterprises, he does have a feeling of pain and love and hatred.

"I remember in the 70s, in the countryside of my hometown, a farmer braved the wind and rain, the heat and cold, and the result of a year's hard work was not enough to eat. A strong laborer in a rural area works hard and records one work a day, and the labor value of a worker is only one or two cents. There was also a production team that did not have a very good harvest, and a worker only paid six cents. In the sixties and seventies, prices basically did not fluctuate much, and an egg could be sold on the black market for five or six cents, and a pound of pork cost eight or nine cents. Lu Yunxiang said to Fan Wuxian, "On the contrary, the minimum wage for apprentices working in factories is 15 yuan a month, and government cadres can earn 30 or 50 yuan." It is the huge gap between the lives of rural peasants and urban workers, and my childhood dream was to become a worker in a state-owned enterprise. In that way, you don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun, you don't have to starve in the years of poor harvest, you can work in the factory to earn wages, and you can easily marry a wife and live a stable life. However. For too many ordinary farmers, this kind of life is like an unfulfilled dream. ”

Fan Wuxian quietly listened to Lu Yunxiang talk about his own affairs there, he was very interested in this deputy department-level cadre who was not young and had experience in management and supervision of large state-owned enterprises to go to the sea to find a job.

"I often wonder why there is such a big gap between the workers in the factories in the towns and the farmers working in the fields. Even now, living conditions in the countryside are better and people no longer have to worry about food, but the difference between urban and rural areas is even greater than it was in the seventies and eighties. In the work of being a full-time supervisor of the board of supervisors on behalf of the government of state-owned enterprises, I have a deeper understanding of state-owned enterprises. The management of state-owned enterprises is lax, and the workers of state-owned enterprises do not contribute to their work. The state has allocated so much money to support state-owned enterprises, and in the end, many state-owned enterprises have suffered serious losses or even gone bankrupt and still have to enjoy state subsidies. Even if the workers of state-owned enterprises are laid off, the government still needs to resettle them or give them hardship subsidies, and their living conditions are better than those of many farmers in my hometown. Lu Yunxiang said to Fan Wuxi, "Before the liberation, China was an agricultural country, and state-owned enterprises were accumulated little by little by relying on the vast number of rural provinces to support national construction. Today, so many state-owned enterprises are losing money and going bankrupt, and the peasants in my hometown are still working hard and poor, they rarely know pleasure except for work, they themselves rely on their own resistance when they get a minor illness, and they can only wait to die when they get a serious illness. Peasants came from the countryside to the cities to work. Too much of it is dangerous and hard work such as construction, road repair, underground or field work, and the daily working hours are much higher than eight hours, and there are few holidays, but there is a big gap between their income and that of urban people. Compared with the peasants, many of China's social elite are less sympathetic to the laid-off and unemployed workers of state-owned enterprises, including me, many people from the countryside who have passed the college entrance examination and entered the cities, and always feel that the workers of state-owned enterprises are lazy. In my opinion, a worker in a state-owned enterprise in China is much luckier than a farmer in the countryside. Like the Chinese peasants in my hometown in the old revolutionary base area, I can't imagine anyone in the world who can compare with them to endure hardships and stand hard work. ”

Fan Wuxi touched his forehead, asked the secretary to pour Lu Yunxiang a cup of coffee, and then said to her, "This, probably the reason why you left the state-owned enterprise, or even the officialdom?" ”

"My worries about state-owned enterprises and my disagreement with many of the problems in the current state-owned enterprise restructuring made me have to leave." Lu Yunxiang said to Fan Wuxian, "The original intention of entering Fan's Investment Group is also to understand why private enterprises can do so well in China?" What's the difference? ”

"Oh, that's the case-" Fan Wuxian nodded, this can be regarded as understanding Lu Yunxiang's original intention of joining Fan's Investment Group.

In recent years, Chinese-made products have swept the world, these products are known for their reliable quality and low prices, and wherever the products are sold, the factories will face bankruptcy and the factory workers will lose their jobs.

This kind of product not only crushes foreign factories, but also China's original state-owned enterprises, and the enterprises that produce such products are often private and foreign enterprises, and they use migrant workers, and the wages of a Western worker can pay the wages of 30 or 50 Chinese migrant workers. The natural costs are extremely low, and there are no social benefits and labor protections to be paid.

According to the relevant data, in a newly developed city in the south, tens of thousands of fingers and thousands of arms of migrant workers are cut off every year, and this phenomenon has led to the development of local surgical grafts, where the level of grafting is not only the best in China, but also first-class in the world, and the cost of surgery is low.

When talking about these things, Lu Yunxiang said, "Some economists in China have touted this kind of enterprises, and then accused the original state-owned enterprises of being inefficient and the workers of being lazy, and they must reform the state-owned enterprises, so that the workers of the state-owned enterprises can no longer lie on the body of the state and live a leisurely and comfortable life, but should work as hard as the peasant workers in the south." I came from the countryside, I knew what hard work was, and I took it for granted at first that the state-owned enterprises that were inefficient and consumed social resources in vain should be eliminated. ”

"Oh-" Fan Wuxian nodded, eager to hear the meaning of Lu Yunxiang's words, and seemed to have a different understanding of this.

"Because I have a deep affection for state-owned enterprises and a deep understanding of them, I understand that although the welfare of workers in China's state-owned enterprises is better than that of migrant workers in private enterprises, there is still a big gap with Western countries. We should not improve the welfare of peasants by changing the welfare of workers in state-owned enterprises, but should use the welfare of workers in state-owned enterprises as the standard to let private enterprises improve the working conditions and welfare benefits of migrant workers. Lu Yunxiang said to Fan Wuxi. Although the rural brothers are suffering, we cannot hope that the people in the cities and towns will suffer like them, and we should maintain the living standards of the urban population, and only then can the cities feed back the rural areas to help the rural areas improve their existing conditions. Otherwise, sacrificing the interests of some people to promote the interests of others is very likely to produce a revolution between one class and another, triggering social unrest and bloody conflicts. ”

Then Lu Yunxiang said, "Since joining Fan's Investment Group, I have not seen the sweatshops like other private companies in my imagination, nor have I seen the very low salaries that are squeezed, and I have not seen the emergence of various private systems that violate labor laws. Opposite. The situation of Fan's Investment Group is much better than that of the best SOE workers, and this is what puzzles me the most. ”

"Oh? What kind of confusion? Fan Wuxian felt that Lu Yunxiang's words were secretly praising himself, but he was used to being praised by others, and what Lu Yunxiang said was indeed true, so he would not feel embarrassed, but he was more interested in Lu Yunxiang and wanted to find out what he really thought.

"The success of Fan's Investment Group has made me realize that the reform of state-owned enterprises, or the state-owned enterprise reform that is being promoted now, is unsuccessful and very likely to fail, because I don't see fairness in it." Lu Yunxiang said to Fan Wuxi.

After hearing this answer, Fan Wuxian was a little surprised, but he still felt a little angry at Lu Yunxiang's bluntness, in fact, as a reborn figure, Fan Wuxian can clearly see the social problems in the reform of state-owned enterprises and the huge social hidden dangers that may be bringed, for China, a country with a large population, the per capita resources are very small, and fairness may be more important than efficiency. Ignoring fairness means that a significant number of people have nothing to live with. He is well aware that China's current state-owned enterprises have problems of one kind or another, and these problems cannot be solved through a simple restructuring of state-owned enterprises, which may lead to greater social problems.

Large state-owned enterprises with tens of thousands of people have been restructured, but as a result, only a few thousand or even fewer people have remained in the restructured enterprises, and many more have been laid off and unemployed. The country was originally a planned economy, and a large number of means of production were concentrated in the hands of the state, that is, in large and small state-owned enterprises. After the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, these laid-off and unemployed people have received more or less compensation, and they have lost the means of production on which they depend, and they have also lost the right to work, and this is the greatest injustice.

The employment pressure in China was originally very great, and the problem of unemployment among the peasants had to be transferred to the cities and towns, but there were also a large number of laid-off and unemployed workers in the cities, and the peasants in the country were already very poor, and the latent social problems in the rural areas needed to be solved step by step over a longer period of time. However, the means of production, mainly land, are still in the hands of the peasants, and the rural society can basically remain stable at present.

However, if a large number of laid-off and unemployed workers do not have the basic means of production, social problems will soon arise in the face of huge social employment pressure.

The peasants and workers are the basis of the ruling power, and without the support of the broad masses of peasants and workers, the ruling power will lose its legitimacy, so it is necessary to face up to the problems of the peasants and the laid-off and unemployed workers. It can be said that the restructuring of state-owned enterprises represents a major change in the social and economic system, which will certainly have an impact on everyone's life.

A small number of economists play a very bad role on this issue, although they are not government officials, but they are public figures, and they often use theories that seem to be plausible, but in fact they are talking nonsense, ostensibly as if to guide government officials to emancipate their minds, but in fact they are serving themselves and their own interest groups.

Thinking of this, Fan Wuxian couldn't help but say to Lu Yunxiang, "Today's mainstream scholars in China only see the highways, the Internet, high-rise buildings and the stock market in western developed countries, but they don't see too many poor people in China and even in the world still struggling to survive." The limitations of the vision of some mainstream economists, and their influence on government officials, determine that they will inevitably introduce policies that are not conducive to the long-term harmonious development of China's economy. If these people no longer lack a social conscience, then they will inevitably become the spokesmen of a minority of interest groups. ”

Lu Yunxiang nodded and said, "After the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, the original leaders have become new capitalists, who have replaced them with migrant workers with lower wages or college students with higher quality in order to reduce the number of workers in large quantities. After the restructuring, state-owned enterprises lack government-level supervision, and although some employees participate in shares, it is difficult to effectively supervise the enterprises. As a result, a small number of people in the leadership of the enterprise may make a fortune, but there is no guarantee that the enterprise will develop healthily. After the restructuring, enterprises will lay off redundant redundant personnel and push them into society, which will inevitably bring about social problems under the current situation that China's social security system is not perfect. Abroad, even capitalist countries will not allow a single enterprise to lay off employees at will and cause a large number of workers to lose their jobs, and social employment and basic social stability must also be taken into account. ”

Fan Wuxian nodded, at this time, after Lu Yunxiang's words, he had a great worry about the state-owned enterprise restructuring work accepted by his father Fan Heng, after all, the theoretical research and protective policies of the state-owned economy are seriously lagging behind, on the contrary, the reform of state-owned enterprises focusing on privatization is advancing so rapidly.

In today's life, the state has not yet had a very accurate and scientific understanding of the social status of state-owned enterprises and the far-reaching impact on Chinese society, and has formed relevant policies and regulations, but a large number of innovations to promote the reform of state-owned enterprises have been hastily implemented.

Under such circumstances, it is conceivable what the results of the reform of state-owned enterprises will be.

"Alas—it can't be done—" Fan Wuxian said to Lu Yunxiang, "When I come back from my honeymoon, we'll have a good discussion, but now I can recommend you to my father, Fan Heng, who will definitely be very interested in what you think." ”

Since I feel a bit of a headache about this, but I don't want to sit back and watch the problems of state-owned enterprise restructuring, the best way is to recommend Lu Yunxiang to his father Fan Heng, presumably the two of them who also have deep feelings for state-owned enterprises come together, maybe come up with some beneficial solutions? It's hard to say.

But Fan Wuzhi himself is also very clear that no matter what, state-owned enterprises must be restructured, which is destined to be changed, and no one can stop this process, the only thing that can be changed is to try to make this process more reasonable and fair.

After sending Lu Yunxiang away, Fan Wuxian secretly scolded to himself, can I worry about the country and the people here? I am neither a national leader, nor a social elite, nor a brick family called a beast, at best, I am just a ya, what does such a national event have to do with me? Earn enough money, have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, eat whatever you want, play whatever you want, flirt with any girl you like, and slap it up when you see which guy is not pleasing to the eye, what a comfortable day it is, you can't get along with yourself, do you have to worry about those who live at the bottom?

But this is just to think about it, Fan Wu's illness has been serious for a lifetime, except for occasionally bullying the wicked, he has not used the power in his hands to do evil, on the contrary, he has also done a lot of charity, which of course has a lot to do with his change from atheism to theism, and it can also be seen as a change in a person's mentality from the bottom to the top.

No matter who it is, as long as he is not a traitorous and madman, as long as he stands in this position of dominating the overall situation, he will always try his best to imagine more for the people at the bottom, even if it is an idiot emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he still knows to let the hungry people drink meat porridge, instead of letting them die directly and pull them down.

Sometimes Fan Wuxian will also think about why he got this chance to be reborn, of course, it is not to satisfy his personal **, but to make this devastated country more angry and rejuvenated.

It's like now, isn't it just like you're doing well? At least in terms of chip manufacturing technology, mobile phone communications, LCD panel technology, satellite communications, and even some weapons research and development, they have made very important contributions, and other actions that have a deep impact on the way of thinking of senior leaders are even more numerous.

It seems that he has done a lot, but the words with Lu Yunxiang make him feel that he is still a little insufficient.

Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, to change those things that are destined to be changed, still need to work hard.

But no matter what, I'm getting married tomorrow, and that's always a joy to be had.

There are no pop-ups
