Chapter 16: Selling the Rags
"It is simply nonsense to say that the progress of society occurs naturally as a result of the social and ideological conditions of a certain period of history. It was actually only achieved overnight after the society had already made up its mind to experiment. That is to say, the society must be self-confident, or in any way allow itself to be shocked, and this shock is always given by someone. - French thinker and 1927 Nobel laureate Bergson.
Throughout 1978, there was a great debate on the criterion of truth testing, which affected the entire process of China's reform. On the basis of ideology, the political principle of "two whatevers" was completely destroyed and a completely new theory of pragmatism was advocated. And in the midst of economic change, it seeks to establish a completely new ideological foundation and business ethics. Until much later, we can still strongly feel the influence of this idea on China's reforms. In the years that followed, it was in line with political maxims such as "taking economic construction as the center" and "stability overriding everything", and made clear statements in terms of methodology, strategic goals, and growth boundaries, thus forming the cornerstone of China's reform culture and three major ideologies. It can be said that in the future, the development of Chinese enterprises and other undertakings will take this as the most fundamental starting point and boundary.
At this time, Fan Wuxian was grabbing a newspaper and was stunned.
A newly published "People's Daily" is a very ordinary newspaper, which is full of editorials on politics as usual, but what attracted Fan Wuxi's attention was not these timeliness news, but a long report on the third page of the newspaper, "The masses have created experience in speeding up the pig raising business", in this text, the new methods of how Guangxi and Yanjingtong County can improve the efficiency of pig raising are introduced in detail, such as "one head can be slaughtered by oneself when it is sold", "new methods for implementing public ownership and breeding" and so on.
"It's time to come, it's finally coming." Fan Wuxi's heart was quite uneasy.
Since the crackdown, the newspapers have been full of revolution, all struggle, all editorials. At that time, raising chickens and growing vegetables was regarded as the tail of capitalism, which was to be cut off, and the "People's Daily" actually published an article on raising pigs, and the climate was really about to change!
The year 1978 was a very delicate and crucial era, and although the "Gang of Four" who carried out the ultra-left political line had been overthrown two years earlier, some people in the top leadership of the party and the state put forward the political proposition of "two whatevers" and practiced ideological governance in the political and economic fields, while the leaders of the older generation, who had just come back, tried to use their influence to promote the change of China's destiny.
The struggle on the front of public opinion is even sharper, and it is not inferior to other aspects.
Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, just one article about pig raising is enough to make many people feel the changes of seasons and times in this cold and unexpected early winter.
Just after the National Day, the adults went to work, an autumn rain just passed, the sycamore leaves in the yard were all over the ground, Fan Wuzhi was bored, dragged out the recliner made of bamboo, staggered to lie on it with his eyes closed, bathed in the warm sunshine, blowing a slight cool breeze, it was really a fairy-like enjoyment.
"Kid, do you know there's a collection of rags here?" A young voice asked.
Fan Wuxian was getting a comfortable sun, and suddenly found that the sunlight on his body was blocked by something, and when he was about to open his eyes to take a look, he heard the voice of someone talking, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a young man in his early twenties.
This person is a little thin, not tall, about 1.7 meters, the clothes on his body are washed white, and there are two patches, but they are cleaned up, the whole person reveals a kind of polite temperament, but there is a kind of resolute surname mixed in it, Fan Wuxi suddenly felt a little curious after seeing it.
This person doesn't seem to be a person in the factory!
"Kid, do you know there's a collection of rags here?" When the man saw that the child in front of him seemed to have just woken up, he asked again.
This person also has no choice, there is no adult in the yard, this child seems to be four or five years old, it is estimated that he should be sensible, as for the other children, they are still playing in the mud in the distance, it is obviously unreliable.
In fact, Fan Wuxian is less than three years old, and he looks stronger than other children for various reasons, but these are not something that a stranger can see, but at this time, Fan Wuxian is a little unhappy in his heart.
"What?" Fan Wuxi squinted his eyes and looked at the young man opposite, snorted and said, "This is the idle item acquisition center, what's the matter with you?" ”
"Idle Item Acquisition Center?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and only after carefully pondering what Fan Wuxian said did he react, and said with a smile, "That's not a tattered collection!" Are you here? I have something I want to sell. ”
"These are two different things!" Fan Wuxi was a little annoyed by others belittling the career he was engaged in, but when he saw the business coming to the door, he couldn't push it out, so he asked, "I am in charge of my family's affairs, and adults don't care." What are you going to sell, take it out and see it first? There are some things that I don't accept here. ”
The young man was a little surprised when he heard this, and he was very skeptical that such a young child could do what an adult could do, but Fan Wuxi quickly dispelled the doubts in his heart, because Fan Wuxi lazily took out a handful of things from his arms, nothing else, but a few new big sheets.
You must know that now a worker of a state-owned enterprise only earns a few dozen yuan a month, and the child in front of him is really a lot of money, the young man suddenly became enthusiastic, turned around and greeted outside, and two people of about the same age pulled a board car into the yard.
"That's a lot of stuff!" Fan Wuxian jumped up from the recliner with a carp in his eyes, and his eyes were full of wolf-like light.
