[194] I also want a public-private partnership!

In March 1950, the ex-factory price of 20 faucet muslin was 31.5 yuan per horse, the so-called faucet muslin was the pure cotton plain cloth of the registered trademark of Yufeng Yarn Factory in Yangpu District, Shanghai, because of the good quality, and then people made 20 pure cotton plain cloth as faucet muslin. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yufeng Yarn Factory was nationalized and renamed Shanghai No. 17 Cotton Textile Factory. The faucet muslin has been changed from the previous imperial 40 yards and about 37 meters in length to a horse and ten zhang.

At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the domestic textile industry was still using the city system, the so-called cloth is ten zhang long, one zhang ten feet, and a piece of cloth is 100 feet long and 33.3 meters long. In this way, 31.5 yuan per piece of cloth, the ex-factory price per foot of cloth is already three cents and one. In addition, in those years, transportation was inconvenient, transportation costs were high, overseas blockades and embargoes, market profiteers hoarded, no matter which cloth shop in the northern capital, a foot of leading muslin cost at least six cents, this is still the government to suppress prices, otherwise it has to become the same as the "battle of rice and cotton" in Puhai at the end of last year, and was fried to three yuan and eighty-one feet by profiteers.

Ma Shuiqing, the owner of Jiruichang Silk Village, didn't believe that Ruifuxiang could make money with the retail price of four cents per foot on the faucet muslin! You must know that the purchase price is three cents per foot plus freight, storage fees, store rent and taxes, as well as labor expenses in the store.

Ruifuxiang dared to sell a foot of faucet muslin to four cents, this is to kill people! As long as he has sufficient supply and continues to sell at this price, it won't be long before there is no second cloth village in the whole north that dares to sell cotton cloth except for Ruifuxiang. Who would dare to sell at a loss at this price!

Ruifuxiang dared to sell at this price, Ma Shuiqing understood in his heart that it was entirely because of the dazzling array of new fabrics in the pits and valleys, these fabrics he Ma Shuiqing had never seen, needless to say, it must be the benefits given by the government after the public-private partnership! Ma Shuiqing suddenly had a flash of thought, and realized, "Could it be that this public-private partnership is a red-top businessman like Hu Xueyan?" ”

Ma Shuiqing was hungry and thirsty in the surging crowd, struggling to look back and forth in the various fabrics of Ruifuxiang, he roughly wrote down as many varieties and prices as possible, and hurried back to his own Jiruichang Silk Village, and directly called the textile trading companies in the northern capital to inquire about the wholesale prices of today's yarn mills.

"What? Or 31 pieces of 5 per horse! What about the new variety? No? ……”

Just when Ma Shuiqing was at a loss, the bosses of other big cloth shops were also jumping as anxiously as Ma Shuiqing, and the various store owners began to call each other in series.

After a phone call, Ma Shuiqing learned that not only Ruifuxiang, but also all the public-private joint venture cloth stores in the whole north today collectively released goods, and all of them were selling new fabrics.

What to do? What to do? Ma Shuiqing's heart was in turmoil, seeing that there was no one in the store on Sunday, and he had the heart to die.

He regretted it! Why was lard blinded in the first place, and dared to go against the supply party. I don't eat the public-private toast, and now if I want a public-private partnership, I'm afraid I'll have to eat the wine!

Thinking of the public-private partnership, Ma Shuiqing immediately felt that there was still a glimmer of hope for redemption. He hurriedly called the owners of other private cloth shops and went straight to the Commercial Bureau of the Beidu Municipal Government. He sat on the rickshaw and made up his mind, no matter what the government's public-private partnership leading group said, anyway, he Ji Ruichang pleaded guilty to punishment, just hoping to catch the last train of the public-private partnership, and only asked the government to supply him with low-cost and high-quality new fabrics.

What if the government doesn't want to? When Ma Shuiqing thought of this, his heart trembled, and he almost collapsed in the rickshaw.

"That Ji Ruichang will be closed in less than three months, the nylon fabric is so beautiful and smooth, the style is thick and thin, and the price is cheaper than the lake silk. If this continues, not to mention cotton, it is a silk business, and it will not be able to do it in the future. ”

Ma Shuiqing and other anxious cloth shop bosses finally waited for news from the Commercial Bureau of the Beidu City Government, demanding that the public-private partnership be accepted, but it must first accept a two-month inspection period, and if this condition is accepted, the government will send public representatives to station tomorrow to start auditing and promoting the employee welfare system.

The Prime Minister and Xiaoqiang are talking in the Prime Minister's Office at the moment.

"Comrade Xiaoqiang, I discussed with the chairman and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and I am going to let you pick a heavier list, are you willing?"

Xiao Qiang sighed in his heart, wondering, what burden is heavier than the chairman secretary and transportation captain in front of him?

"I'm idle, I'm idle, Prime Minister, just say, if you think I can do it, I'll do it hard."

The prime minister smiled kindly and said lovingly: "Don't be restrained, don't be nervous, aren't you smoking?" Here, smoke one. ”

Xiaoqiang was amused by the prime minister, "You don't smoke, I don't smoke." ”

The prime minister humorously raised his hands from the armrests of the sofa and patted them: "Who said I don't smoke, I sometimes want to smoke one, don't you see I have an ashtray here?" Come, give me a good cigarette of yours. ”

Xiaoqiang grinned, handed over a Chinese cigarette, helped the prime minister to light it, and then ordered one himself, and smoked it together with the prime minister.

The prime minister spat out a puff of smoke and said: "You see, I just can't learn from you old smokers to spit out smoke rings, it can be seen that practice makes perfect, and people need to exercise to grow their skills." ”

Xiaoqiang looked at the prime minister with wide eyes, and said in his heart, what kind of trouble is the prime minister going to make?

The premier continued: "I have discussed with the chairman and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and in order to give full play to your talents, I am going to make you concurrently the secretary to the prime minister and the secretary of the minister of the Ministry of State Affairs, that is to say, you will also be my secretary and Mr. Zhu's secretary in the future, what do you think?" ”

After the prime minister spoke, he looked at Xiaoqiang lovingly, expressing his blessings and expectations in silent language.

Xiao Qiang was stunned all of a sudden, his mind was empty, and he couldn't say anything. Ban Xiang Fang said: "Is this appropriate?" ”

The prime minister explained: "The scale of the 491 project is huge and complex, the party, the government and the military must be closer to each other in order to complete the project more haode, at present, the party committee, the military commission and the government affairs yuan have set up their own 491 project leading group, which requires a knowledgeable comrade to coordinate in the middle, we think about it, I think you are the most suitable." Let you wear three hats, and they are all secretaries, will you feel wronged? ”

Xiaoqiang hurriedly said: "I am flattered, but I am afraid that if I don't do a good job, I will cause trouble to the Prime Minister and Chairman Mr. Zhu."

The prime minister snuffed out the cigarette in the ashtray on the coffee table in front of the sofa and said, "Don't be afraid, there are still us, you just have to do it, if there is any problem, I will carry it for you." ”

Xiao Qiang came back to his senses from the short blank of thought, thought about it quickly and asked, "Then what do I usually do?" ”

Seeing that Xiaoqiang agreed, the prime minister said with a smile: "Why are you confused, of course the secretary can do whatever he needs, the Government Council is currently doing a lot of things, isn't it pushing public-private partnerships at the moment, you usually have time to read the report, and report to me if you find problems, the Ministry of State is promoting the military refitting and tactical exercises under new conditions, you also look through the report of Mr. Zhu's office, and put forward suggestions to Mr. Zhu, you have been working there for so long, you are already familiar with it, so I don't need to say more." ”

Xiao Qiangxin said, isn't this the same as being a consultant in the chairman's place, but he doesn't have the fatigue of ordinary secretaries who run before and after drafting official documents, but he is capable.

"Okay, Prime Minister, don't worry, I'll do it, but if you think I'm not doing a good job in the future, you must remove me immediately, don't be embarrassed, don't tell you, I'm empty in my heart."

The prime minister quipped: "Before you do it, you want to put the responsibility on me, I can't see it, Xiaoqiang, you are quite slippery." ”

In this way, Cao Xiaoqiang became a three-time secretary who also served as the three leaders of the party, government and army, although the chairman, the prime minister and Mr. Zhu also had other secretaries, but a secretary like Xiaoqiang, who also held the three realms, was the first since the founding of the country. Xiao Qiang felt that his job was similar to the position of the leader of a certain engineering coordination team in later generations.

Cao Xiaoqiang, who had just become secretary to the prime minister of the State Council, immediately threw himself into the work of public-private partnership at the request of the premier.

"I can't so easily agree to these public-private partnership requests from latecomers! In this case, how can we explain to the advanced elements of public-private partnerships? Do you want a treatment for the first-in-last? I think it is necessary to punish a little, and at the same time, let the advanced units of public-private joint ventures taste some sweetness. I suggest that these backward shops be given a nominal two-month probationary period, and then officially transfer to a public-private partnership after the expiration of the two-month probationary period. In the past two months, the public representative has been stationed in the first place to check the accounts and find out the revenue and inventory status of the store. Improve the treatment and welfare level of employees, and complete the transformation of primary socialist business. Xiaoqiang spoke decisively at the public-private partnership meeting of the Government Council.

At the meeting, the highest-ranking person at this meeting was only Gu Yongli, the head of the leading group for public-private joint ventures in industry and commerce, and a department-level cadre. Xiaoqiang himself is at the department level, and when Xiaoqiang saw that there was no premier-level leader at the meeting, he became bolder.

Gu Yongli nodded in agreement, he is the leader of the leading group of the government affairs yuan for industrial and commercial public-private partnerships, but he does not dare to slack off at all for the so-called auditing cadre Cao Xiaoqiang around him. Gu Yongli knows that this young man is only in his twenties, and he is already the secretary of the prime minister, which is amazing. Isn't the Prime Minister's secretary's words the Prime Minister's meaning? Before, he also heard internal information that this young man was actually the chairman's secretary and was transferred from Fengze Garden, and there was also news that this young man was not the chairman's secretary, but Mr. Zhu's secretary, who was transferred from Zhantan Temple. Under the different opinions, Gu Yongli doesn't know which one is true and which one is false, but in short, he can be sure of one thing, the prime minister's secretary alone is already in the sky, and this alone makes Cao Xiaoqiang, a young man, speak with full weight.

Gu Yongli was originally a political cadre of the 115th Division, and he spoke resolutely in the style of a soldier: "Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang said it very thoroughly, and I completely agree!" The advanced and the backward must be treated differently! Otherwise, how will we work in the future? Seeing that the general trend has gone, the backward elements have no choice but to surrender and demand to enjoy the treatment of advanced elements. In this way, the enthusiasm of the advanced elements will also be affected, and in the future, these directors and owners of industry and commerce simply don't have to compete for anything advanced, and just wait to see if there is any sweetness. If there is sweetness, you will cooperate, and if there is no sweetness, you will resist, and such a late-entry store owner cannot be encouraged. ”

Cao Xiaoqiang saw that his suggestion was adopted, and he was happy in his heart, and said in his heart that the actual work below was not difficult.

Cao Xiaoqiang said with satisfaction: "There is another point I want to say, among the units that have completed the public-private partnership, the public representative cannot be a grandfather after going down, and must learn from the management with an open mind." After all, they have worked all their lives and have a lot of experience. Some of our public representatives have just taken off their uniforms and entered the industry. Iron striking also needs its own hardness, and the public representative must strengthen his own business level in order not to let the management laugh. Ordinary business decisions should be discussed, not just a word. ”

Comrade Xiang Yang, head of the leading group for public-private joint ventures in the Northern Metropolis, said after listening to Cao Xiaoqiang's two speeches:

"After a two-month inspection period, I agreed to supply new goods to these latecomers, but I think it's a bit too cheap for them. We had to talk a lot before, but these shopkeepers just didn't buy it, and they didn't even want to participate in a public-private joint venture meeting. Now that they see a steady stream of new products, they are in a hurry, and I think their motives are not pure! With the current sales momentum of new fabrics, I don't see that in three months, these latecomers will have to close their doors one by one, and then all these businesses will be merged into the shops that have previously completed the public-private partnership. When the time comes, we can use the closed capitalist shops to open state-run stores, and all the profits will go to the public, won't that be done in one step? ”

Immediately, many comrades agreed with this idea of the leader of the Xiang Yang group, and in their view, the original sin of the capitalists was obvious, and it was the advanced elements who agreed to the public-private partnership. Since there is a way to defeat them directly, they will simply make a ruthless move and completely shut them down.

Xiaoqiang was afraid of this kind of thought, he thought about it, organized the language and said: "The current goal set by the central government is to transform the public-private partnership, not to ask these shopkeepers to be killed with a stick. If we do this, even if we succeed, it will have an impact on the public-private partnership that is being promoted in other industries, and it will be more difficult to promote public-private partnership in the future. If things hurt like this, the resistance of the capitalists will be great. Besides, these stores are decades old, some even have a history of hundreds of years, and this brand is an intangible asset, and if we destroy it, we are actually harming the interests of the country.

In the future, of course, we will build a large-scale state-run commercial format, but instead of the current brand-style time-honored specialty stores, we will build large-scale chain super shopping malls, chain department stores, and chain convenience stores. This is the development model of future business and the direction of state-owned asset allocation. At present, these time-honored brands, as long as they complete the public-private partnership, it is enough, and they do not need to be converted to state-run. The central authorities' arrangements are far-sighted and strategic, and we must follow the arrangements of the central authorities and grasp them in the strategic direction. ”
