The long journey on the train was exhausting, so Shen Yiyi basically lay on the bunk to recharge his energy in the second half of the trip; Long journeys on the train are also interesting, because it is only possible to have a deep conversation between people who have never met each other on the train.

When Shen Yiyi and Peng Weining took the train south, Mr. Wu and his students got off the train at Beijing Station and rushed back to the school immediately.

is similar to what Shen Yiyi guessed, and their group did go to the Northeast with a mission this time. Because Shen Yiyi had memories of his previous life, he guessed the purpose of their trip based on the changes in the central government's policy in the past two years. But in fact, what Shen Yiyi didn't know was that the reason why the central government was in such a hurry to send this group of people down was actually because in this year, the situation of state-owned enterprises in Northeast China changed drastically.

I can't say whether it's because a butterfly flapped its wings, anyway, when the central ministries and commissions collected the annual work reports of last year's subordinate enterprises, they suddenly found that the accounts receivable in the reports of most enterprises suddenly doubled. Some enterprises have accounts receivable that are almost several times more than the annual output value. The issue did not attract the attention of those ministries at first. In fact, the annual collection report is nothing more than a formality in these ministries. In this era, the evaluation of the leaders of those large state-owned enterprises has not yet carried out performance appraisal, and the so-called statistical report is just an administrative order, and the following enterprises fill in the numbers according to the task list. The person who fills in the form fills in according to certain rules, and the person who receives it only does a summary job at most. As for the meaning behind these figures, no one will put extra effort into analyzing them.

It should be said that it may be because these figures are not directly linked to the assessment of grassroots leaders, so although the numbers collected at this time are not good-looking, they still truly reflect the operation of the enterprise. Otherwise. It is really very difficult for the superior leaders of later generations to understand the figures of the real operation of the enterprise.

At the beginning of this year, I don't know if it was destined to be a college student who was newly assigned to the Planning Commission, probably out of pure personal interest. I picked up the business operation figures compiled by various central ministries and commissions and looked at them. That's not all, the college student really took a foreign book on analyzing the financial statements of enterprises, and painstakingly summarized these figures and wrote a "report on the analysis of the operation of state-owned enterprises." If you don't do some of these things, you don't know the way, and when you do it, unexpected situations will happen.

After analyzing this pile of figures, this college student made a difficult mistake with the accounts receivable, which was far more outrageous than the data in the example questions in the book. Because according to the common sense of Western business management, when it comes to such a number, generally speaking, these companies should have gone bankrupt and closed down. But in China, these factories, with tens of thousands of workers, are still alive. He found the conclusions of his report more difficult to draw. Take such a set of data. He went back to school and asked his teacher questions. He wanted to know why in a country that wants to build a market economy, there are still economic phenomena that cannot be explained by the common sense of the market economy.

Coincidentally, his teacher knew the then deputy prime minister. After learning about it, during a dinner with the vice premier, he talked about this as a joke and listened to the other party. It can be said that the deputy premier, who has a keen sense of an economist, immediately noticed that this should be a structural problem of regional state-owned enterprises at this stage. And he felt it deeply. Such a structural problem, if not solved. In the future, the entire national economy will be threatened by this time bomb.

Worried about the future of the country's economic performance, the deputy prime minister formally raised the issue at a working meeting. Of course, there were divisions in the room. Some leaders think that there is nothing wrong with this problem, such a phenomenon should have been practiced for many years, and they have not found any big problems, anyway, if there is a real crisis, let the banks continue to take loans to maintain the operation of the enterprise; But the deputy prime minister said worriedly. If banks continue to be allowed to lend these bad loans, which are destined to be difficult to recover, then local business problems will spread to the financial system and eventually threaten the entire national economy. In the absence of unanimity, the head of state made a decision. Let the Deputy Prime Minister be responsible for investigating and verifying the matter, and come up with specific opinions on how to deal with it, and then discuss it at the meeting.

After obtaining the authorization, the deputy prime minister immediately organized manpower to go to the northeast to verify. After all, it can be seen from the data compiled by the ministries and commissions that the three eastern provinces where large backbone state-owned enterprises are gathered are the hardest hit areas of this wave of accounts receivable storm. Professor Wu and his students actually went to Northeast China with the task of verifying the reported data.

Shen Yiyi thought that they were going to investigate the reform of state-owned enterprises, but in fact, they really didn't get to this point this time. Verifying the common problems of accounts receivable is the main task of their trip to Northeast China.

Of course, as a task assigned by the state, neither Professor Wu nor his students on the train clarified the purpose of their trip to Shen Yiyi. Moreover, neither Shen Yiyi nor them took out the purpose of Professor Wu's trip. In fact, strictly speaking, the issues they discussed had nothing to do with this investigation trip to the Northeast.

Even so, Professor Wu was so impressed by the cutting-edge concepts of economics that Shen Yiyi said on the train that he talked about the episode on the train when he presented the report made by his students to the vice premier.

"Speaking of which, when we went to the Northeast to investigate this time, we just paid attention to the data of the accounts receivable that you asked us to pay special attention to at that time, to see if it was that big. At this glance, it really surprised us. It should be said that the reported figures are not exaggerated, but there is still a lag. The figures for the first three months of the year are even more staggering than those in those reports. At that time, I thought that if I brought this investigation report back to you, it would really put a lot of pressure on you, the prime minister. Because it's not just about finding and verifying problems, it's about solving them. But how to solve this problem really makes it difficult for me. ”

When the vice premier heard Mr. Wu say this, he was also very emotional. It should be said that since he was placed in such a position, he deeply felt the weight of his responsibility, and he did not dare to take even a partial problem lightly. Because he knows very well that even the smallest negligence may be the majority of ordinary people who will pay the price the most. As a member of a Marxist party that strictly disciplines himself, he cannot allow himself to make such mistakes.

Professor Wu ignored the mental activities of the vice premier and continued: "Don't say it, this little girl seems to have the ability to predict the future. A casual word she said inspired me a lot, and along the way, it also gave me a clue to solve the current economic mess. ”

"Oh, really?" The vice premier asked with interest, "For Master Wu to say this, this mysterious little girl should still be quite reasonable." Tell me, what did this little girl say? ”

Recalling Shen Yiyi's response at that time, Professor Wu said: "At that time, this little girl told me a mathematical model. She proposed an economic hypothesis, the so-called model of revolving liabilities. The basic assumption is that in a complete economic cycle, the sum of total accounts receivable and accounts payable should be zero. Assuming that the accounts receivable exist in a chain among various economic participants, what will be the consequences if the non-payment of accounts receivable also occurs in a chain. In order to simplify the model, this little girl also took a relatively simplified model, and gave such a debt relationship a name that can be understood at first hearing, called triangular debt. ”

"Triangular debt?" The Deputy Prime Minister playfully repeated the name.

"Yes. Triangular debt. Professor Wu said, "When I came back, I broke down the debts of several units and tried to find out the relationship between these debts. After analyzing the results, hey, you can really use the triangular debt model to apply. That's a big deal. ”

The Vice Premier found that when he said this, Master Wu's spirit was suddenly very excited, and he looked very confident.

"If the triangular debt model is confirmed, one of the little girl's solutions can be applied. The current crisis can be an opportunity for us to reform state-owned enterprises in the next step. Through the coordination of the central government, the use of revolving liabilities between enterprises to establish a modern enterprise system, not only to a large extent to solve the debt problem between these enterprises, but also to integrate the upstream and downstream enterprises of the supply chain together, to form a complete enterprise alliance, truly bigger and stronger enterprises. ”

When it comes to his professional scope, Master Wu's spiritual head is uncontrollable. His gray hair, each one shining with wisdom. The Deputy Prime Minister listened attentively to the master's brilliant ideas, and also drew circles in his workbook, recording his thoughts and thoughts. The country's major economic policies have initially formed their own context in this atmosphere of teachers and friends.

The two discussed for several hours, taking out the next work that should be done theoretically, one by one, to see what measures were not enough and needed to be strengthened; And what measures are out of line with national conditions and need to be revised? The same scene has been repeated many times since the deputy prime minister entered the sequence of national leaders, but this time he found that it seemed to feel a little different.

The Vice Premier couldn't help but say to Master Wu with emotion: "I really want to meet that little girl who makes you so emotional." She helped us a lot this time. I'd love to know about Lu Dao, and some other difficult questions, and what the outcome would be if she had discussed it with us. (To be continued......)

PS: I found that Ao Xiao's handsome guy is very unpopular. In the vote, even Qiao Chusheng had two votes, and the handsome guy Ao was actually zero.

Peng Shuai's appearance aura is very strong. Everyone has the momentum to want him to be the male lead.
