It is still 1992, and although it is about to pass, the debate between planning and the market has basically ceased to be heard, and the marketists have stepped onto the stage, but the more important thing is the qualitative issue of the public and non-public economies.

Economic structural reform committees have been set up at all levels, and the reform of the urban economic system has begun to be carried out in an all-round way in state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises.

"The county food factory is going to be sold, you know?"

He Weide returned home, Yao Huixia said to him.

"Why sell? Isn't it a state-owned enterprise? ”

After He Weide was reborn, he heard for the first time that a state-owned enterprise was going to be sold, so he asked puzzledly.

"Everyone is preaching the word of a leader." Yao Huixia said with interest.

"What do you say about what?" He Weide asked.

"A leader said at a mobilization meeting for the reform of state-owned enterprises: Our state-owned enterprises are like a peach, on the surface, they are red and bright. Who knew that in these bright peaches, worms had already been born, rotten flesh, and black hearts.

It's just that now we haven't bitten it open, and we are still confused by its shiny surface. Once you bite into it, you will find that this peach has long been inedible.

For such a peach, should we wait for it to rot outside, stink, and throw it away, or sell it as soon as possible, so that it can rely on new strength, phoenix nirvana, and get new development opportunities? ”

Yao Huixia vividly learned the words of the leader.

"The comparison of state-owned enterprises to peaches is very vivid and vivid." After listening to it, He Weide commented.

"I didn't expect that you are not a person who follows the clouds." Yao Huixia said.

"What's the same thing? It's the first time I've heard this story, how can I go to the crowd? He Weide replied quietly.

Seeing Yao Huixia's belly getting bigger and bigger, He Weide didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear of affecting her mood and affecting her fetal development.

He Weide suddenly wanted to go to the food factory to see how rotten the rotten peaches in the food factory were, and how much it cost to sell.

He remembered the 90s in his previous life, which was not only the era of state-owned enterprise reform, but also the era of the development of health food madness.

I don't know how many people started from the production of health food and became the richest people in the country.

He remembers that the most famous health foods are Wahaha after Zongqing in Hangzhou and Huaihan New Sun God in Dongguan, Guangdong.

Wahaha had a very famous advertising slogan at that time, called "Drink Wahaha, eat is fragrant", and in just three years, sales have gone from zero to more than 100 million yuan.

The output value of the bio-health oral liquid produced by it reached more than 800 million last year.

He Weide feels that health food is in a booming spring, and it is the most suitable period to enter.

When he came to the county food factory, he found that many people were surrounding a piece of red paper, talking about it.

He squeezed into the crowd and took a look, only to know that this was a notice posted by the county's state-owned enterprise reform office.

It is an announcement about the auction of the county food factory.

He looked at the auction announcement word by word.

After remembering the conditions, deadlines, auction times, and auction locations about auction registration, He Weide chatted with the people present.

The vast majority of people who read the announcement were employees and family members of food factories.

They felt very helpless, puzzled, and angry about the auction food factory in the county.

Helplessly, a good food factory just can't make money, can't pay wages, and has to house prices and stop production.

What is incomprehensible is that a state-owned enterprise owned by the whole people has been reduced to the level of being auctioned. Isn't the state's enterprise going to the rescue of the state?

It is infuriating that we, the former workers of the whole people's ownership, the leading class, the masters, have also been bought out and left without jobs one day.

Since its establishment, the food factory has specialized in the production of orchid roots, orchid inches, snow dates, etc., which have been passed down from our ancestors.

In the past, when it was produced, the raw materials were provided at the planned price, and the sales were all sold by the state.

Now that we are engaged in a socialist commodity economy, we must purchase raw materials from the market by ourselves, and we must find our own sales outlets.

This greatly increases the production cost and sales cost of the food factory, and the sales price cannot rise, and the more production in the factory, the greater the loss.

In addition, these traditional products do not have any technical content, and every household can produce them, so some economically minded people have begun to produce these traditional foods and squeeze out the food market.

This makes the food factory even worse, and the fire is doggy.

Due to the lack of product innovation and the inability to reduce production costs, the county food factory not only lost money, but also became more and more difficult to sell, so it had to stop production and take a holiday.

This vacation is more than a year, and most of the employees are floating in the sea, showing their powers, working around, or setting up small stalls to earn money, in order to barely maintain the survival of the family.

The auction of the food factory this time was a plan that the county had to choose after holding several general meetings of all workers in the factory and soliciting opinions from Guangfa.

Even if there is a person who bravely stands up, contracts the enterprise, and invigorates the enterprise, he will not have to embark on the road of auction.

The auction plan of the food factory was also revised many times from top to bottom, and was finally finalized after being voted by all employees and obtaining more than 80% of the votes.

"Sold like this, bought out the identity, although we also bought social security with us, but we, the 4050 people, are old, young, up, down, no one wants to go out to find a job, and we can't do business, what do you tell us to do?"

A man in his forties and fifties said complainingly.

"Women can retire at the age of 50, and we men can retire at the age of 60. There are more than ten years left, not only to earn money to support the family, but also to earn money to pay social security. ”

Another man in his forties and fifties said: "We only receive a pension after retirement, what do you think we are doing?" ”

"If we are still in our twenties or thirties, no matter how far away we are, no matter how difficult the work, we are not afraid! But at our age now, who else wants you? "Another man in his fifties was whining there.

He Weide suddenly woke up to the fact that the most difficult thing in the reform of state-owned enterprises is the question of where people go. If this problem is not solved, it will not bring labor pain, but long-term pain.

Rather than not being able to save it, it is easier to sell it and there are no sequelae.

He suddenly remembered what an expert had said in his previous life: The existence of 800 million peasants and 80 million laid-off workers is a huge wealth for China. Without their hard work, there would be no enjoyment for a few, so it is necessary for them to exist and maintain the status quo.
