After Zhuang Qunyi entered the door, Cao Xinli was still on the fire, with a dark face and a silent voice.

Xiao Yuejin was also holding his stomach, but it was inconvenient to quarrel in front of Zhuang Qunyi, so he forced a smile and talked to Zhuang Qunyi.

Zhuang Qunyi didn't mention the matter of joint mining at the beginning, but only asked: "What's the matter, the two of you are in trouble again?" ”

Xiao Yuejin smiled bitterly and said: "Secretary Zhuang, don't worry, even if we encounter big trouble, we won't borrow money from you." The 600,000 yuan I borrowed earlier, Secretary Cao and I thought about it. ”

Zhuang Qunyi waved his hand and said, "I'm here to see Secretary Cao today, not to ask for an account, what is Mine Chief Xiao doing with that ballast?!" ”

Xiao Yuejin said: "If you don't mention it, it's your benevolence and righteousness; I don't mention it, it's just garlic. ”

Zhuang Qunyi smiled and said, "Even if you mention it, you still pretend to be garlic." Just mentioning it is that you don't have the money to pay it back, so you might as well not mention it, so that I won't have to worry about it with you. ”

Xiao Yuejin sighed and said: "Secretary Zhuang, I'll be honest with you, not only will we not be able to repay the money in Hexi Village for a while, but this time, we will have to be guaranteed by Mayor Cao and borrow 500,000 yuan from Hedong Tian Avenue." ”

Cao Xinli said sullenly: "This Tian robber is only afraid that he will not be reliable!" It has been more than a week since he promised to borrow money, and he has not even seen his ghost, and as soon as people go to the mine to look for him, he hides. ”

Zhuang Qunyi looked at Cao Xinli and said with a smile: "This makes your old brother Cao sick, isn't it?" ”

Cao Xinli said: "Isn't it?!" If it continues like this, I'm afraid that my life and that of Mine Chief Xiao will be buried here. ”

Zhuang Qunyi said: "I don't think you should go to Tian Dadao. It's not that you don't know that this nouveau riche has neither a conscience nor a righteous attitude. If you really want to borrow him the 500,000 yuan, you have to ask Mayor Cao to go to Secretary Cheng of the county party committee again. Tian Dadao only bought Secretary Cheng's account. Secretary Cheng grabbed Tian Dadao's dog's tail. A few days ago, Secretary Cheng asked the thief to donate monkeys and bears to the county's children's paradise, and he donated honestly. Listening to everyone, the adults and children in the county town all shouted at the black dog and bear Tian Dadao. ”

Cao Xinli was amused by these words and said, "Your Secretary Zhuang is hurting people again." ”

Zhuang Qunyi said: "I don't hurt him, I just think this kid is too unconscionable." Who is not clear in everyone's mind? Whether it is Hedong or Hexi, isn't it all because of a state-run Shengli coal mine? Six of our eight well chiefs in Hexi are old men who have retired from your mines. Their coal kiln advisors in Hedong are all from your mines. ”

Cao Xinli said unceremoniously: "It's more than that, right?" The underground resources of our Shengli Coal Mine have also been almost dug up by you, right? Last year, wasn't the No. 2 well of Tian Avenue connected to our big well? The ventilation system of the entire large well was destroyed by him, and in this way, he Tian Dadao dared to let people come to the mine to make trouble, and dared to tie donkeys and horses to our big derrick. Tell me, what is this? If Secretary Cheng hadn't come in person, I don't know how much trouble would have got. ”

Xiao Yuejin glanced at Cao Xinli, and said with something in his words: "If you want me to see, we, the managers of state-owned assets, are also responsible. To put it bluntly, the lack of responsibility to the state from top to bottom has caused a serious loss of state-owned assets and resources. ”

Zhuang Qunyi hurriedly haha: "The state-owned assets have not been lost elsewhere, aren't they still in our country." When you think about it, it's not entirely bad. After our peasant brothers become rich, we can still give you big brothers a hand. ”

Cao Xinli's eyes were a little bright, and he stared at Zhuang Qunyi for a long time before he asked hesitantly: "This time, can you, Secretary Zhuang and Chairman Zhuang, still pull us?" ”

Zhuang Qunyi immediately nodded and said, "Of course I have to pull it, I'm here for this." Tian Dadao in Hedong does not talk about conscience, but I Zhuang Qunyi can't help but talk about conscience. ”

Next, Zhuang Qunyi calmly came up with his own plan: to use the existing resources, personnel, and equipment of Shengli Mine to set up a joint coal mining team with an annual output of about 150,000 tons, which will be calculated separately and contracted by Hexi Village. All the funds required are provided by the Wanshan Group in Hexi Village, and the economic responsibility is also borne by the Wanshan Group. Regardless of the profit or loss, Wanshan Group pays a certain proportion of management fees to Shengli Mine.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuejin immediately said: "This is a good thing, not only has some personnel been placed on the job, but the mine has some stable income, I think it can be started immediately." ”

Cao Xinli didn't rush to express his position, but only asked: "We are now mining a ton of coal and losing dozens of yuan, do you have the confidence to make money?" ”

Zhuang Qunyi said: "I dare not say how much I earn or how little I earn, I can always earn it." ”

Cao Xinli asked again: "Who is responsible for production technology?" ”

Zhuang Qunyi said: "Your comrades in the mine are responsible for the production technology, but we have to hire them. Management is all our business, and we are responsible for profits and losses. ”

Cao Xinli thought about it seriously and said: "Does this mean that your small Hexi village has taken away all the management rights and management rights of one of our state-owned county and regiment-level mines?" We, the cadres and workers owned by the whole people, are going to work for you peasants? ”

Zhuang Qunyi said calmly and politely: "Brother Cao, you can't talk like this. Whether you are a county-level state-owned mine or a county-level state-owned mine, how should you operate it? You cadres and workers owned by the whole people or cadres and workers owned by the whole people have nothing to do with our Hexi Village. What I'm talking about is limited to joint mining, it doesn't matter if your cadres and workers don't want to apply, we can also recruit from other places. ”

Xiao Yuejin was obviously emotional about Cao Xinli's words, and said with an unhappy face: "Whether it is a large state-owned mine at the county and regiment level, or the ownership of the whole people, we always have to eat, and we have reached the point where we can't eat, what else do we have to be proud of?!" ”

Cao Xinli glanced at Xiao Yuejin coldly and said, "What do you mean by this?" Is this a matter of pride? This is a matter of policy. What if we go against the policy, make careless decisions, and the cadres and workers make a fuss? ”

Xiao Yuejin couldn't help but say: "Old secretary, I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy, frankly, I think the serious problem lies in educating workers." If we can really let the peasant brothers in Hexi Village educate our worker comrades, I don't think it will hurt any harm. ”

Cao Xinli said: "What you said is extremely wrong. Chairman Mao said that the serious problem is to educate the peasants, and he has never said that the serious problem is to educate the workers. ”

Xiao Yuejin said: "My old secretary, haven't you seen through the reality in front of you? It is precisely the long-term policy of ownership by the whole people and the state's policy of taking everything under wrap up that has, to a great extent, caused the predicament of our state-owned industrial and mining enterprises today, and also caused the deterioration of the quality of the ranks of the working class. Don't you want to think about it, if you don't eat a big pot of rice from the moment of liberation, who will still lie in the arms of the country to eat and drink as a matter of course? ”

Cao Xinli said: "You mean, we have been wrong about socialism for decades? ”

Xiao Yuejin said: "There is nothing wrong with socialism, but what is wrong lies precisely in the failure to adhere to the socialist principle of remuneration according to work. Both workers and peasants have to be paid for their work. ”

Cao Xinli said: "You are still wrong. You say that our comrades workers are now in the arms of the state and want to eat and drink, then let me ask you, where is the wealth created by our comrades in the past? Haven't they all been used by the state for construction? Now that we are talking about the market economy, is it reasonable for us to carry such a heavy historical burden to compete with Secretary Zhuang and other township enterprises? ”

Xiao Yuejin said: "This is exactly what I want to say next. The state should return to our workers in some form a portion of the wealth we create, for example, by deducting it from the state-owned assets of enterprises. ”

Cao Xinli said: "In this way, the state-owned assets of our Shengli mine may be zero." ”

Xiao Yuejin said: "Then, the existing assets of Shengli Mine belong to 8,000 workers, and the workers will truly become the owners of the coal mine." If this is the case, I think there is hope for the victory mine. ”

Cao Xinli said disdainfully: "If you really do this, I don't think there will be socialism, there will be no state-owned enterprises, and the People's Republic of China should be called the Republic of China." ”

Xiao Yuejin said: "Old secretary, I am discussing the problem with you. Shengli Coal Mine has come to this point, shouldn't you and me think about the problem deeply? ”

Cao Xinli said sarcastically: "You Mine Manager Xiao thinks too deeply, I think that anyone who can think about the problem so deeply should go to the State Council to be the prime minister, and it is really too condescending to be a mine manager." ”

Xiao Yuejin was angry and wanted to insist on talking, but Zhuang Qunyi interjected and said: "Forget it, forget it, don't fight, the more you fight, the farther away from the topic." Let's study this joint procurement plan. I think it's good for both of us, and maybe it's better for you at the moment, at least than reaching out and asking someone to borrow money. ”

Cao Xinli originally wanted to borrow money from Zhuang Qunyi, but when he heard Zhuang Qunyi say this, he couldn't speak again, so he had to say: "I will discuss this matter with Mine Chief Xiao and other comrades, and ask the city to decide later." ”

Xiao Yuejin deliberately embarrassed Cao Xinli, and asked coldly: "Secretary Cao, the 80,000 yuan of the joint company has been used up again, if you don't start joint mining immediately, how can you solve the problem of eating in the future?" ”

Cao Xinli didn't mention the matter of Liancai, his eyelids rolled, and he shouted at Xiao Yuejin: "I was about to ask you!" You ask Cao Wucheng for money! ”

Xiao Yuejin got up and left, walked to the door and said angrily: "Secretary Cao, don't worry, Cao Wucheng owes money, I, Xiao Yuejin, am responsible for it, or I will compensate for it!" But I'll make it clear to you, it's really hard for me to work with you in your current state! ”

Cao Xin was furious and shouted: "If you don't want to do it, you will resign!" ”

Xiao Yuejin nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as the account with the joint company is settled, I will immediately report my resignation to the city!" I've had enough of this kind of immortal foreign sin. ”

This made Zhuang Qunyi very embarrassed......

After Xiao Yuejin left, Zhuang Qunyi also got up and said goodbye.

Unexpectedly, after Cao Xinli sent Zhuang Qunyi to the door, he grabbed Zhuang Qunyi's hand and said, "Secretary Zhuang, don't go, accompany me to talk for a while, okay?" ”

Zhuang Qunyi knew that Cao Xinli was sad, so he hesitated for a moment and had to sit down again.

Cao Xinli's eyes turned red, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said: "I am the secretary of the party committee of this state-owned coal mine, and I am responsible for the party, the country, and more than 8,000 cadres and workers." I was angry just now, no matter what I said, don't be angry with your Secretary Zhuang. ”

Zhuang Qunyi said: "I'm not angry, I'm not angry. I know you're hard, it's so hard. ”

Cao Xinli said again: "I have never looked down on you peasants in my heart. Don't say that you are rich now, even when you were poor earlier, I did not look down on you. ”

Zhuang Qunyi said tactfully: "But I remember when you were the director of the Political Department, you said that the Shengli Mine is surrounded by a sea of small producers, but I am afraid that you still have this point of view." ”

Cao Xinli sighed and said, "Is it more than an encirclement? Now the small producers have flooded the Victory Mine. ”

Zhuang Qunyi said emotionally: "Then you, the old party secretary, haven't you thought about it, are these peasants who have left the land today still farmers in the traditional sense?" Are they still small producers? They have built so many industrial mines, set up so many group companies, and created so much industrial wealth for society, in a sense, have they also become part of the working class? Is the identity of workers and peasants inherently unchanging? With the reform and opening up to this day, do some of our concepts have to change? ”

Cao Xinli was stunned.

Zhuang Qunyi also said: "If Secretary Cao admits that our Wanshan Group is an emerging industrial group, and the new generation of workers in our village is workers in a new sense, then what is wrong with joint mining and common development?" At least we can always pay more taxes to the state, right? ”

Cao Xinli thought for a while before saying, "So, so, still, let's resign, you and Mine Manager Xiao go to engage in joint mining." It's just that I'm not afraid of losing face, you see, can you lend us hundreds of thousands more? Even if you pay the joint procurement management fee first. Don't worry about Liancai, I will do my best to do my work, if not, I will go through the back door of Vice Mayor Cao. ”

Zhuang Qunyi breathed a sigh of relief and said very generously: "Secretary Cao, there is no such thing as joint mining, if you want to borrow money, I have to lend it to you." I'm not Tian Dadao, and I will never forget how I got rich at any time. ”

Cao Xinli was moved to hold Zhuang Qunyi's hand, and said again and again: "Secretary Zhuang, you are benevolent, you are really benevolent." ”

Zhuang Qunyi said: "Don't say that, everyone has times when they are in trouble." Secretary Cao, you should send someone to get a check with me immediately, is 500,000 yuan enough? If it's not enough, I'll lend you more, even if our emerging industrial groups in Hexi help you win the traditional working class of the mines. ”
