Chapter 68 Vocational Schools
"Battalion commander!" The next day, Yang Xianjin called me: "The purchase money for the two planes has arrived, 380 million, and we can make a lot of money now!" But something went wrong with the deal for the last plane......"
"What's the problem?"
"The Soviet side made a list, let's deliver according to the list." "Most of them are canned food, compressed biscuits and the like. Do you want to send this? ā
"Oh!" When I heard that, I understood.
You must know that the Soviet devils are fighting in two directions at this time, on the one hand, they have to support Vietnam, on the other hand, they have to invest a large number of troops in Afghanistan, and at the same time they have to provide supplies for the Afghan government army, so things such as canned food and compressed biscuits that are easy to transport have become scarce war materials.
The reason why Yang Xianjin asked this question was also in mind...... If what we send indirectly turns into supporting the Soviet devils in the war, then this crime is not light.
"Send, of course!" I replied, "Not only to send ...... And you can give them a little discount! ā
"Still on offer?" Yang Xianjin couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he heard this, he originally thought that the transaction of the last plane was so messed up, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this.
"Yes!" I said, "Give them a 10% discount!" ā
I didn't explain much, and Yang Xianjin didn't ask much, maybe this is a good habit that Yang Xianjin brought when he was a soldier.
What he didn't know was that at this time we actually wanted the Soviet Union to hold out as long as possible, both economically and militarily...... This also means that the longer the confrontation between him and the United States, everyone understands the truth of the competition between the snipe and the mussel for the glory and the profit of the fisherman, but as soon as this issue is put on the international community, many people will not be able to see it clearly.
The main reason. I think there's a layer of personal emotion and public perception in it. For example, this behavior of ours. From an international point of view, it is clear that this is in the interest of our country. But from a personal point of view, the Soviet devils are enemies, and the public may even regard this behavior as giving strategic materials to the enemy for economic gain to support them in the war!
And it's really hard to say that, after all, we were really at war with Vietnam at this time, and Vietnam was supported by the Soviet Union in the north. Therefore, if this quarrel starts, it is very likely that some people will accuse this practice of providing supplies to the enemy, and even accuse them of killing their own people for buying bullets for the enemy.
Therefore, whether this state system is better for democracy or autocracy really cannot be discussed in one fell swoop, but depends on the actual situation.
For example, if this were a democracy, the problems mentioned earlier would soon spring up like mushrooms after a rain. The next thing is that the pros and cons say that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and they fight with each other to the death, and in the end they can't do anything.
The most typical example is the changes in Taiwan's armed forces after Taiwan's democratization...... After democratization, the people have power in their hands, and those who serve as soldiers are the children of the people, so if the training is a little heavier, the people will be unhappy and complain.
After a long time, the various indicators of the army have dropped again and again, and the physical fitness standards of modern Taiwanese male soldiers are not as high as those of our female soldiers. When the soldier had a cold and fever, the company commander was asked to lead him to see it.
This directly leads the Taiwanese to become soldiers as if they were in a summer camp, and the instructors are afraid that they will be complained about if something goes wrong with a certain soldier. Because he was worried about the lack of water for his soldiers, he even called out the slogan "Drink water and drink 300 CC", which once became a hot search on the Internet.
After thinking about it, I called Yang Xianjin again.
"You do." I said: "Let a few Russian-speaking or clever people set up an office in Moscow, and if necessary, in other places, such as near the areas of heavy industry, we can set up additional offices for the purpose of dealing with the Soviet side or investigating business intelligence." On the other hand, there is also an office on our side to match their work. ā
"Yes!" Yang Xianjin responded: "The battalion commander is still thoughtful, and it will be much more convenient to do business in the future." ā
It is obvious that our current trade model can only be described as "primitive", for example, this time, what if the goods are already on the way and the Soviet side asks for it? Then we just return or not return. However, if a special office is built at both ends, and the goods are delivered after the negotiation is negotiated, the possibility of problems will be greatly reduced, and the efficiency will be improved.
As for the cost of this office...... It is preliminarily estimated that we can earn more than 600 million yuan from the transaction of these four aircraft, and it is naturally easy to do things if you have money.
However, I don't worry much about the trade of the Soviet Union, on the one hand, because I believe in Yang's advanced ability, and on the other hand, because we have already made a lot of money after grabbing the first piece of cake, even if we can't make money in the future, it is easy to withdraw. The most important thing is that I know one thing clearly...... As long as the Soviet Union did not stop the war, the industrial dilemma could not be reversed, and it would not be able to change the pattern of buying light industrial products at high prices and selling heavy industrial products at low prices.
Therefore, what I am more worried about now is how to give back to the society with more than 600 million funds in hand.
Although we have discussed with the cadres before, that is, while continuing to make money by expanding trade with the Soviet Union, we should also use the Soviet Union, a consumer country of light industry, to expand the business scope of advanced companies.
My idea was not to build my own factory to produce things, but to continue the original intention of the original establishment of the advanced wholesale company, which was to act as a middleman between the manufacturer and the seller...... You must know that at this time, there is actually no shortage of factories in our country, and it can even be said that as long as we have demand, factories will be built one by one.
The reason for this is very simple, for example, if an advanced company buys canned food in a certain place for a long time, it may be in short supply at first. But no one in this world is a fool, and people with a little money in their hands see that this cannery is so profitable, and they don't say it, so let's do it...... It didn't take long for this cannery to pop up like mushrooms after a rain, and even this could lead to local agriculture, such as the need for canned fruit. This will directly stimulate local farmers to plant fruit trees in large numbers.
Other words. In fact, we can use this and the funds in our hands to implement a kind of regulation and control of the local economy.
Of course. This kind of market behavior may also lead to losses, for example, if we buy canned fruit in a certain place for a period of time, in case the Soviet Union suddenly does not need it or the demand is low, this will directly lead to the closure of a large number of factories and even the loss of fruit farmers. But that's not something I think about, and that's not something I can think about...... This is the market, there are times when you make money, and of course you lose money.
But even the loss of such a loss as a whole is still developing upward, and all I can consider is this whole.
However, there will be many questions: even if our advanced companies are ready, are the people ready?
To put it simply, it is when our branches are set up one by one. When there is a large demand for commodities in various places, it will inevitably lead to a large number of employment problems such as factory construction, employment of workers, and even peasant planting.
In this era, due to the long-term implementation of a planned economy in China, the vast majority of the people are out of touch with employment...... It is very likely that the factory is just a dilapidated house built haphazardly because of the lack of technology, and the workers do not know how to use the machine when they enter the factory, and the farmers just follow the trend when planting fruits.
All of these problems lead to the large demand for goods from our advanced companies on the one hand, and the fact that the factories produce insufficient products or are flooded with a large number of substandard products.
Obviously, this creates a situation where both ends are unhappy...... We did not buy enough good enough goods to fulfill the orders of the Soviet Union, and the factories were slow to develop or close down because they did not get more profits, and the workers and peasants did not pay for their labor and sweat. It is even possible to lose money.
Of course, this problem will naturally be solved over time...... At the beginning of our country's reform and opening up, and even in modern times, there are still many similar problems.
As the saying goes, "people go to high places and water flows to low places". Because you can make money by doing this, then because of people's nature of competition and profit-seeking, it will naturally get better and stronger over time.
The problem is that I don't want this to happen again, or I want the transition to be faster...... There is no way to skip this process, after all, it is impossible for the people to reach the sky in one step, and if they don't understand anything today, they will be able to do everything tomorrow.
All I can do is try to make the process as short and gentle as possible. Undoubtedly, this will allow many investors, workers, and farmers to avoid sweating, tears, and even thinking about it, and it is also beneficial to the overall economic development.
In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem, that is, to establish some training schools to match them, just like a large number of vocational schools in our modern society...... These schools can train the workers and even farmers needed in the factories, so that they can avoid many detours, and China's economic development will also take many detours.
But if it's not difficult, it's actually a headache.
This headache does not refer to the money, we should donate funds to run some schools after we have earned hundreds of millions: first, these schools are not very expensive, you must know that at this time, 10,000 households are "rare animals" era, and it does not need a large scale to run a school. Second, this donation to run a school is also a good advertisement for our advanced company, and the society hears that this school and that school are donated by advanced companies, and our image is immediately tall.
The problem is ...... If these schools are run by us, there will be a series of problems, such as formalities, diplomas, teachers, teaching quality, publicity, etc., which are not something that our advanced companies can run down one by one or afford.
How to solve it?
When I was having a headache, I suddenly remembered what was the name of an economist before...... Zhou Guiwang looked for me and left a phone number.
Thinking of this, I immediately rummaged through the drawers in my office, thank goodness...... The phone number is still there.
So I raised the phone and was about to pull it out, but when I thought about it, it was the middle of the night, would there be anyone on the other end? Will it be noisy with others?!
At this time, I vaguely remembered that Zhou Guiwang once said that he could call him at any time, day or night.
Whatever! Thinking of this, I immediately pulled the number down.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" An unfamiliar voice rang on the other end of the phone.
"Excuse me, is Zhou Guiwang here?" I asked.
"He's resting." The voice on the other end of the line replied, "You can call again tomorrow!" ā
"Oh!" I answered.
Just as I was about to hang up the phone, I heard the other end say, "Are you Camp Commander Yang?" ā
"You ......"
"It's really Camp Commander Yang!" The other end of the phone said with surprise and joy: "I'm Li Wangsheng!" ā
"Oh!" I vaguely remember that when Zhou Guiwang came, he also brought a follower, who should be named Li Wangsheng.
"Hey, look at me." Li Wangsheng continued: "Why didn't you say that it was Camp Commander Yang earlier, and I will call Vice Minister Zhou immediately." Wait a minute! ā
Before I could reply, he ran away.
After a while, I heard the other end of the phone say, "Hey, Camp Commander Yang?" Finally, when you call, I'll say why don't you have a voice! ā
"It's not ...... Isn't it all right? I said, "So I don't dare to disturb you!" ā
"Hey, what bother, don't bother!" Zhou Guiwang replied: "Do you know...... I talked to you before, but it helped us a lot, and now we are doing what you say step by step, not to mention, the more I do it, the more I feel that what you said is really right, it's just like it's really yĆ n, I don't know how much time we have saved and how many detours have been taken. I thank you that it's too late. I've wanted to talk to you again, but every time I look for you, you either go to war here or there, and you can't meet it, so it's great that you can call! ā
I was a little relieved to hear this, after all, the idea I just had about vocational schools costs money, not only to spend money, but also to invest a lot of time to achieve results, and the results are not so fast, so it is really not easy to convince the other party to do this, but now it seems that it is not so difficult.
"Battalion Commander Yang, do you have any ideas?" Zhou Guiwang said: "You wait......"
As he spoke, he shouted to the other end: "Xiao Li, hurry up and prepare paper and pencils!" ā
I couldn't help but cry and laugh when I heard this, how could I take what I said as a treasure.
But in fact, it can also be considered a treasure, and the reason is simple...... We are from here, and these things are really like what Zhou Guiwang said, just like what I have done. In fact, it is not a real thing, but a real thing. (To be continued......)
