PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Keyu", and ask for a recommendation vote ^_^ again

Taizu's reprimand put a lot of pressure on Hu Weidong, but he did not hide it because of this, but said more bluntly, "Public enterprises cannot be satisfied with running better than private enterprises, but must continue to widen this gap." The increase in the advantages of public enterprises shows that our work has progressed, and we need to summarize in order to promote the experience and promote outstanding talents; If the advantage is reduced, it means that our work has regressed, and we also need to summarize the lessons to avoid recurrence, and those caused by personal reasons should be held accountable."

"That's a good idea." When Taizu heard this, he immediately spoke in approval, and his expression changed a lot compared to the beginning.

Hu Weidong knew that Taizu had been moved, and his heart was suddenly relieved, and he added a few points while the iron was hot, "There are still a few advantages to the retention of private enterprises, such as how much it can reduce the hostility of the Western powers towards China, divide the enemy to a certain extent, ease the inevitable poor external environment of our country after the war, and help us introduce advanced equipment and outstanding talents from the West; When the country's economy is in difficulty, we can crack down on private enterprises that operate illegally in order to divert contradictions, but if there are no private enterprises, it is inevitable that the resentment of the masses will be concentrated on the party and the government." No matter how well we do our work, there will always be some people who are accustomed to using their mouths to play on the topic and find faults."

After hearing this, Taizu nodded again and again, and Hu Weidong's detailed explanation of the "equal conditions" for public and private enterprises to compete (see later for details) gave him a reassurance, and the private enterprises in the liberated areas and even later in New China were retained for a long time, and made indelible contributions to China's economic construction and industrialization process.

Compared with the private economy, Taizu was more concerned about the individual economy without exploitation, because he believed that the individual economy and the small peasant economy (in fact, the yeoman farmer is the individual economy) was the source of Chinese disunity, so he always advocated the comprehensive cooperation of individual handicraft industry and commerce in order to transform it into a collective ownership economy. to foster a sense of collective consciousness among the people. However, after Hu Weidong's strong admonition, the Red Party did not apply a one-size-fits-all approach to this issue, and at least some industries that were indeed suitable for family or individual operation did not force cooperation. On the one hand, unnecessary waste is reduced (for essential service industries such as restaurants, hostels, and hairdressers in small towns, the average operating cost of a large enterprise is certainly much larger than that of a small one-family restaurant, even in the form of a chain. and, on the other hand, more cultural heritage has been preserved. Although Hu Weidong personally does not welcome a large part of the so-called "cultural relics".

As for collective enterprises, especially township enterprises, they were first advocated by Taizu (called "community enterprises" at that time), first, for war preparedness, and secondly, to eliminate the difference between urban and rural areas as much as possible. Therefore, it is natural that it has been highly valued, and Hu Weidong has saved a lot of money now. On the more sensitive issue of foreign investment, the positions of the two men are even more strikingly consistent, although the starting points are very different.

Taizu is not opposed to the introduction of foreign capital, but the premise is that it must be beneficial and controllable, and must not damage the national self-esteem of the Chinese people, which is based on a series of humiliating treaties since the Opium War and the increasing economic aggression of Western powers; And Hu Weidong has the same opinion. It is because of the failure of the historical "market for jishu" strategy

Although objectively, the introduction of foreign capital at that time was almost unrestricted, which solved the serious problem of unemployment in China at that time, and borrowed foreign capital to train a large number of industrial workers who adapted to the modern enterprise system, laying the foundation for China to become the largest industrial country in Shijie; But in this plane, thanks to the outstanding contributions of the overseas branches, the Red Party cooperated secretly through trade with the United States and with Germany. The introduction of countless jishu, equipment and even talents with a total value of more than 5 billion US dollars, if calculated at comparable prices, this is even more than the total amount of foreign investment introduced in the first 20 years of reform and opening up, and almost all of them can greatly enhance China's comprehensive national strength, and its help to China's industrial and scientific and technological development cannot be overestimated. At the same time, the booming industries in the liberated areas, fueled by huge sums of money, will only make the Red Party worry about the shortage of qualified labor, and the problem of unemployment, at least for now, is far away.

More importantly, through the comprehensive cooperation between China and Germany (we must not forget the previous introduction work), most of China's industrial sectors are expected to reach the pre-war and even the then Shijie advanced level within five years, although due to the weak foundation seriously affects China's ability to upgrade, after the end of Sino-German cooperation and the departure of more than a million foreign experts and workers from China, the scientific and technological gap between China and advanced countries will inevitably widen again for a period of time. However, according to Hu Weidong's estimates, no matter how bad it is, it will be widened to 15 years (in fact, because foreigners who came to China left China in batches in 10 years after the war, and there are still two or three percent left, and China also earned a lot of dividends during World War II, so the gap is about 10 years at the largest). After that, there will undoubtedly be a narrowing of the gap again, and even the fifteen-year gap in science and technology is far smaller than the gap between China and foreign countries in the early days of reform and opening up in history, and because industrialization began earlier, China's overall industrial strength in this time and space is even more incomparable than it was at that time.

(PS: Although the Soviet aid in the early days after the liberation of history also transferred a lot of advanced technology at that time, it was not the most advanced in the Soviet Union at that time, at least five years behind, and the Soviet Union only provided Jishu equipment and experts and technicians whose number of people were far from enough time in China, most of which we have to digest slowly, this delay is at least a gap of more than ten years, and the cooperative research between China and Germany in this time and space cannot be compared at all.) Moreover, the Soviet aid projects in history were narrower, basically only including the military industry and the heavy industry sector related to the military industry, as a result, although some departments in New China quickly approached and even caught up with the advanced level of Shijie, but most of the industries still have a gap of at least half a century with the advanced level of Shijie, so the gap between China and the West in the early days of reform and opening up is much larger than many people think now, and this extremely unbalanced industrialization situation is also very unfavorable to the upgrading of Jishu in New China. In contrast, the introduction of Jishu in China in this time and space is more comprehensive, so the foundation is more solid, although the comprehensive introduction is largely due to the refusal of the United States to transfer too much military-related technology and equipment)

It is with such confidence that Hu Weidong dared to raise the threshold for foreign capital to enter, and it is okay to invest, but it must be of real help to China, it can be a scientific jishu that China has not yet mastered, or it can be an advanced management or management method. However, if there is indeed jishu or other resources that China urgently needs, the liberated areas and even the new Chinese government will give preferential conditions beyond the standard, and this also applies to domestic enterprises. It is worth mentioning that "old friends of the Chinese" like Ford can still enjoy a lot of preferential conditions, but if these top industrial giants invest in China, the jishu content will not be low (to be continued). )
