[93] Let's talk about East Germany No. 3

The cost can not be suppressed, flexible management can not be done, the East German state-owned enterprises have always been good at fighting tough battles and big battles, strong scientific and technological strength, first-class product quality is the characteristics of the East German state-owned enterprises, you call the cadres of these enterprises to manage the textile factory and toy factory, looking at the international fashion trend, eight tricks a day, he can't do it at all, he also feels very wronged, feels that he has been assigned to a backward enterprise with no scientific and technological content at all. Besides, we all know that the higher the number of cadres, the worse the average quality of cadres, so these enterprises are getting worse day by day. You must know that small business owners care about their own enterprises 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from purchase to production, from finance to the market, hard work, heartbreaking, now you rely on 9 to 5 state-owned enterprise cadres to manage these trivial matters, where can you do it well. The GDR also changed the old brands of these nationalized enterprises, replaced them with new brands and new trademarks, and sent these well-known old brands that had been established for many years to the grave, claiming to be socialist transformation, hehe, and lost a lot of export share at once.

In fact, in Xiaoqiang's view, the classic products of state-owned enterprises are still very good, and the design is absolutely in line with aesthetic and practical standards, very advanced, very futuristic, very sci-fi, don't you see such as the movie "Robot Wall-E" and many science fiction movies, in which everyone on the spaceship wears the same clothes. In the eyes of real design experts, in the future super technology society, consumer goods such as clothing do not need to have too many tricks. They just don't understand, why do some people think that the style they wear is different, and the style they use is different, which is personality? It's like Beethoven wouldn't understand why he needed more than 10,000 Hong Kong and Taiwan songs that sounded similar to him to satisfy society. Do you say that state-owned enterprises are high and low? Obviously not, the fact is that the design masters did not understand, when the street is full of exactly the same classics, the classics are desecrated, to put it badly, it is cheap to rotten streets, of course, this is not to blame the product, in the final analysis, because the human species itself is so fond of the new and disgusted with the old, people need those things that look different and actually the same to have fun, and call it fashion, of course, science monks have said that it is not easy to understand this idea.

What's even funnier happened, after the restructuring of more than 2,000 private enterprises across the country, although the quality of the products has not declined, the output of the products is getting less and less! After the restructuring, the productivity has become lower! Did the leaders of East Germany be stupid, and the production of consumer goods in the daily light industry began to fail to keep up with demand, what should I do? The GDR has almost forgotten its years of rationing, and I didn't expect such a thing to happen today, as one of the top ten industrial countries, this is a shame! The East German leadership then thought of a more brain-dead solution......

The most typical example is that the Rostock Engine Factory produced engines for ships, and the products could be easily profitable by exporting them alone. Nowadays, since there are not enough light industrial products, we have to reduce the production of engines in accordance with government regulations, and use part of the production capacity to convert production to produce can openers...... You read that right, it's really a can opener, a can opener for cans...... It's like today you ask Hongdu Airlines to stop an aircraft engine production line and produce mobile phone chargers after transformation, which is too unscientific! Such absurd examples were everywhere in East Germany at that time.

To what extent did the productivity of these small private businesses decline at that time? After the nationalization of the garage, the productivity has grown from repairing the car as soon as it arrives, to making an appointment to repair the car, waiting for a few months, and if you need a major overhaul, it will be miserable, and you need to wait in line for a year...... As a car repair shop owner, used to make money for himself, now he gets a salary, and he works to make money for the country, who wants to go home with black oil when he gets off work, at this time, if you don't have some materials to exchange, you can only wait honestly, and wait until the sky is old, if you don't have material but a little privilege, according to the records of some people in East Germany interviewed later: "For example, if you are a school teacher, I will immediately put you in the object of today's car repair, after all, everyone has children who are studying or going to school, No one wants to offend someone who might teach your child in the future. We only need a little bit of each other in our line of work to get what we want, coffee, cigarettes, soap, electrical appliances...... In short, we can live a very easy and comfortable life, and the days are getting better and better."

Having said that, this also forced all East Germans to become car repair experts...... At this time, it was clear that every family in East Germany had a car, but there was a shortage of cars, which was just like China had a color TV, but it was the largest consumer of color TVs on Shijie -- the more popular, the more consumed. But after 100% full nationalization, East Germany began to be unable to keep up with supply.

Think about the old revolutionary Ulbrich, and then look at today's Honeck, you have to sigh that the level of the leaders of the GDR, that is simply a weasel cub, a litter is not as good as a litter. The famous true joke is: There was a shortage of meat in East Germany, and Honecker called a meeting of the Party Central Committee to discuss it. So an urgent document was issued, and the armed police escorted the document safe to the hands of the first secretary of the province, and after opening the document safe, it was found that there were only ten pieces of paper in the huge safe, nine of which were blank, and only the first one had words on it, which read: "Weishenme pork will be in short supply?" Please write your comments in the blank below. ”…… I'm going to ......

In addition to not allowing reactionary speech, East Germany is actually a very democratic country, everyone can write letters to the general secretary freely, there are too many letters in the later period, Honecker directly handed over to the following first secretaries to deal with, often the masses come to the general secretary's office to receive visitors, actually just to buy a car, people are very bullish and said: "This is Lao Tzu's party card, if Lao Tzu can't get a new car in half a year, he will throw the party card into the zoo monkey group...... It's a very strange relationship between the cadres and the group, right...... haha…… Ha...... The team has developed to this point, and in the face of the enemy's subversion in the future, the combat effectiveness will be scum.

To add insult to injury, you can't supply consumer goods here, right? But the consumption power of the common people has increased at this time, you think, everyone is a state-owned enterprise, and the salary is also in line with the state-owned enterprises, and the consumption capacity is not up to have a ghost, isn't this the end of the egg of the East German leadership! The leaders of East Germany are heartbroken, they can all be imported from West Germany, and if they don't have money, they will be in debt first. It's completely over, and everyone knows what happened next.
