Chapter 65: The Airplane (3)
When I heard Yang Xianjin tell me on the phone that the first passenger plane from the Soviet Union had landed at the civil aviation airport, my hanging heart finally let go.
Although I don't know how much profit this civil aviation will bring us for the time being, there is no doubt that it can solve all problems, not only the problem of the current more than one million arrears, not only the problem of the soldiers mortgaging so many properties, and even the future development of advanced companies.
Of course, with this kind of good thing, of course, we are not willing to let it go so lightly...... Just kidding, the contract we signed was four passenger planes, how could it be possible to buy one passenger plane and be satisfied and give up?!
So when Yang Xianjin told me on the phone in a trembling voice with excitement: "Battalion commander, the money transferred from the civil aviation side is already on the account, 190 million, not a penny is a lot!" ”
"Fuck! It's really done?! The instructor and Zhao Jingping, who were listening to the news beside him, couldn't help but cheer.
If this had been done before, they wouldn't have dared to believe that this business could be done...... In fact, even I didn't believe it until the moment the money arrived, so much so that I asked twice: "Are you really right?" Is there really more than 100 million? Have you tried it?! ”
"That's right!" Yang Xianjin replied with certainty: "I also tried it, you can take it." It's just that I said I wanted to withdraw 1 million, and the bank man said that there wasn't that much money, so I had to make an appointment......"
"Good!" The battalion headquarters erupted in cheers as if they had won a battle.
There are even some fighters muttering to themselves: "More than 100 million, this ...... How do you use this, then aren't all of us 10,000 yuan households?! ”
"What a 10,000 households!" Soon someone interrupted him: "Just 100 million." That's 10,000 yuan households. Do we have 10,000 people in the synthetic camp plus advanced companies? ”
"Of course not. One or two thousand people are about the same. ”
"Right! Then it should be a 100,000 yuan household. ”
"Stop!" Someone interrupted them and said, "It's just one plane, and there are three more to come!" ”
……
"Go, go!" At this time, Zhao Jingping interrupted them and said: "Who sues you that the money can be divided equally, and the money is all from the company!" ”
"Staff Officer Zhao." The warriors smirked and replied, "Let's just do the math!" ”
As the so-called speaker has no intention of listening, the warriors let the instructor hear their hearts after such a discussion.
After half an hour, the instructor pulled me aside and whispered: "Battalion commander, first of all, I have to say that you have done a good job, not only solving the problem of the deficit of the advanced company. It is also possible to solve the work and life problems of a large number of demobilized soldiers, which is a good thing. However, do you realize that this incident may have some negative effects on our troops? ”
"Negative effects?" I am a little puzzled by what will be the negative impact of solving the worries of the troops.
"That's right." The instructor said: "If the soldiers of our synthetic battalion know that they are so rich, it is inevitable that some soldiers will think more about material life and have some negative thoughts about the war......
"Oh!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but suddenly realize.
The instructor didn't say this very deeply, or he expressed it in the same way as class struggle or spiritual civilization and greed for material comfort, but I still understood the truth.
This is actually normal, if a person has no money, he will not have too many worries on the battlefield, and we will be empty-handed anyway. But if you have money, it's different, and then the fighters will have another psychological burden...... We have hundreds of thousands of people. If you go back to the rear, what kind of life will you live? Wouldn't it be unjust if this was glorious on the battlefield?!
Of course, I am sure that the fighters will not make any big mess. The people of this era have a high ideological realm. But they are people and not gods after all, and with so many people in the army, it is normal for some people to have a little bit in their hearts. This will undoubtedly affect the combat effectiveness and morale of the troops to a great extent.
"The instructor is right!" When the instructor said this, I suddenly woke up as if I had been poured a basin of cold water: "We must take this matter seriously, and if we are not careful...... It's possible to smash the signboard of our synthetic camp! ”
"Yes, yes!" The instructor couldn't stop nodding: "That's what I said, whether a unit has combat effectiveness or not depends on the mental state, not material enjoyment." If you are excessively greedy or even obsessed with material comforts, it will have a great impact on your combat effectiveness and will to fight. ”
I nodded.
The instructor is not absolutely right, but there are many examples of this.
For example, the living conditions of Vietnamese soldiers are very poor, so they have a strong will to fight. The living conditions of the American soldiers are good, so their will to fight and the pressure they can withstand are much lower than those of the Vietnamese soldiers, which has been well demonstrated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the US-Vietnam War.
Of course, what we are talking about here is the whole, and it is normal for individual phenomena such as those in the Vietnamese army who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and those in the US military who are not afraid of death.
So I immediately convened a meeting of the cadres to discuss the matter.
The solution is actually very simple, that is, the money earned by these companies is linked to the soldiers' performance in the army, that is, to formulate a rule to stipulate how much allowance to pay to martyrs in the name of advanced companies, how much to pay to soldiers who have been demobilized due to wounds, and so on.
Obviously, this will turn one thing that would have affected combat effectiveness into one thing that stimulates the morale of the soldiers, at least they know that they will have a good life and work after being wounded and demobilized on the battlefield.
On the other hand, Yang Xianjian's side was busy again.
On the one hand, they are calculating how much money they make after making an airplane...... This is not easy, because they need to compensate the fighters who put their houses as collateral, and they can't let these soldiers take the risk in vain. Then the various costs were deducted by seven or eight reductions, and the final figure reported was more than 160 million net income.
I was taken aback by this number, damn it, the total price of this plane was only sold for 190 million, and the cost was 100 million yuan, I thought it would be good for us to make tens of millions, but I didn't expect to make more than 160 million.
Later, as soon as Yang Xian explained this, I understood...... It is true that the cost of the plane is 100 million, but we are exchanging pots and pots from China, and the difference between the price of these things in China and the Soviet Union is nearly ten times, so our actual cost is actually only 10 million, plus transportation costs and other expenses, so we make a lot of money.
In this way, the next step is much easier.
Before, we had to mortgage the soldiers' houses, but now we don't need them at all...... If we have money, we even raised the price to carry out crazy purchases in various regions in order to be able to collect a large number of light industrial goods in a short period of time.
Of course, the focus of this acquisition is still on the railway line to Moscow, which is convenient, and in order to avoid long nights, the sooner we complete this business, the better.
What I don't know is that our deal has actually stimulated the development of the Chinese market in a way.
At this time, in fact, China's market economy was also in a difficult period, and the reason for this was that the market economy had just sprouted and suffered the blow of "cracking down on economic crimes."
This is not to say that the policy implemented by the state is wrong, but that the policy is correct, and its purpose is to crack down on the behavior of those unscrupulous traders who raise prices and buy and sell.
The mistake is that the method of execution below is not very correct...... A crime of speculation can be applied to anyone, and at this time, the grassroots personnel have not completely come out of the shadow of the ten years, so there are still many people who use the ten years to deduct people's hats.
As a result, individual traders or the private economy are at their own risk, which discourages them in a large way.
But at this time, a "resumption of trade with the Soviet Union" suddenly appeared...... This is the policy of the state, and it is vigorously advocated, so it is impossible to be speculative!
Of course, not many people were doing it at the beginning, and there were many reasons, such as no funds, no channels, no news, no shipping channels from the Soviet side, and so on.
All of this is normal, China is still in a relatively closed state at this time, and there are even a considerable number of people who are still hostile to the Soviet Union in their hearts, and it is difficult to change around and do business with the Soviets immediately, and even if they want to, they may want to wait and see because of doubts and worries.
However, our advanced company has made a big deal at this time, and even now it is making a big acquisition for the whole country. You know, this is a few hundred wagons, and we don't just stop doing the business of airplanes, which means that the demand for light industrial products is endless.
This gives factories that have already closed down or are about to close down a chance to come back to life...... The backlog of products in the warehouse can be exchanged for money, and the money can be put back into production, and after production, more money will be made to produce more products......
To put it simply, our business has actually brought these factories into a virtuous circle.
Under such conditions, I think it is necessary for us to put forward higher requirements for quality, after all, we intend to do this business for a long time, so a benign market competition environment has been formed.
In this respect, China's reform and opening up has to be thanked to the Soviet Union for a certain extent, because it was the irrational industrial structure of the Soviet Union and the large demand of the two wars that it launched or indirectly that further stimulated the development of China's market economy.
