Chapter 8: The Fallen Munitions Factory

At the door of the Red Star Machinery Factory, Li Gang, director of the Industrial Development Office, held Wang Ye's hand, shook it vigorously and said with a smile:

"Welcome, Comrade Wang Ye."

In Li Gang's body, Wang Ye felt a completely different temperament from Liang Jinsong, if Liang Jinsong looked nearly fifty, but his whole body already revealed the fierceness of a soldier, while Li Gang was different, making people feel quite approachable.

"Hello Director Li."

"I need your attention in the future."

The thought flashed, and Wang Ye said to Li Gang.

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Li Gang nodded and said with a smile without thinking:

"Well said! Say! ”

"Not to mention the military-to-civilian reform of the Red Star Machinery Factory, which is an important reform project led by the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense, just by virtue of your Xiaowang factory director's courage to take the initiative to ask for it, I also have to fully support it!"

"Director Liang, are you right?"

Hearing Li Gang say this, Liang Jinsong, who was standing next to him and was originally smiling and watching the excitement, his face was stagnant, he coughed lightly and nodded, and said:

"That's the truth."

"But...... According to the requirements of the Fifth Machinery Department, my side will provide a maximum of 30% of the subsidy in previous years. ”

"It's only a year, and the rest depends on your industrial system."

"How to find a way to live for the factory is your problem."

Wang Ye, who was standing next to him, heard the conversation between the two, and knew that they had begun to "play with each other", and now the Red Star Machinery Factory is about to carry out the reform of military to civilian reform, so theoretically speaking, during the one-year buffer period, the Red Star Machinery Factory has two superiors, namely the Provincial Defense Management Office and the Yuntai City Industrial Bureau.

Then a problem arises, the Red Star Machinery Factory, which is a problem for making ends meet and eating, which superior should I ask for money?

If these two superiors are very rich, then this problem basically does not exist, anyway, the public money is not their own money, and no director wants to make too much trouble, and there is a rich money in his hand to allocate a part of the past, which is not a big problem.

But it is clear that this is not the case now, these two superior units are poor ghosts!

"Director Li, what about you?"

As soon as Liang Jinsong's words fell, he didn't wait for Li Gang to speak, so he hurriedly asked back.

Regarding Liang Jinsong's question, Li Gang smiled slightly awkwardly, glanced at Wang Ye and said:

"Theoretically, not a cent, not a cent."

"The state-owned factories of our local industrial system have production tasks every year, no matter how many or too little production tasks they have, but in the end they are subsidized according to the planned production tasks."

"But now the Red Star Machinery Factory has no production tasks at all, resulting in no share of their subsidies in the financial aspect."

"So, don't say that we don't have rich money to subsidize them, even if we do."

"If you give it directly, then other factories are not easy to explain? A bowl of water is uneven, this is a big taboo! ”

"You know this question better than me, Director Liang."

In the era of planned economy, there is no such thing as "trading", only the way of "exchange", for example, if a state-owned pastry factory produces a ton of pastries, then these pastries will be delivered to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the nearby areas according to the planned demand, and the masses will use grain stamps and oil stamps to exchange.

As a result, state-run pastry factories have no income, so how do they get their income? That's the state subsidy.

For example, if the superior unit gives the state-owned pastry factory a total of one ton of pastry production tasks, then according to the material accounting, the corresponding flour, eggs, vegetable oil and other materials will be transferred from other food raw material factories to the pastry factory to complete the corresponding production tasks, and at the same time, a part of the "profits" will be subsidized at the same time to provide the workers of the state-owned pastry factory with a living life.

Of course, there is actually money circulation in this process, but this kind of money circulation is not the direct circulation of buyers and sellers.

It is precisely because of this that Li would have said this just now.

Because the fact is just as he said, the Red Star Machinery Factory has just left the military industry and transferred to the local area, without any civilian production tasks, it is impossible to obtain any subsidies and profits.

In fact, this is also the reason why it is so difficult to advance the reform of converting military to civilian use.

If the military factories basically do not have the ability to produce civilian products, then they will not be able to obtain production tasks, and then they will not be able to obtain subsidies, and the local industrial system is also a pile of debts, and there are a large number of state-owned factories that are not able to make ends meet, and they can neither divide the production tasks for the military industry, nor can they come up with money to invest in the transformation of these military factories, and the final result is that the local industrial system is not willing to accept these military factories.

"I said Director Li, how can you do this?"

"Our Red Star Machinery Factory is also a pilot project of the national military-to-civilian reform, and you don't pay a penny? That's not appropriate either, right? ”

"Besides, after the military-to-civilian reform begins, the Red Star Machinery Factory will belong to your local industrial system."

"It stands to reason that you have to assign them production tasks!"

Hearing Li Gang say this, Liang Jin, who was standing there, suddenly became anxious, because if it was really carried out like this, the Red Star Machinery Factory would not talk about the reform, and it was estimated that all of them would starve to death in the next month.

As soon as Liang Jinsong's voice fell, Li Gang smiled slightly embarrassed, and was just about to say something, when suddenly a slightly old voice came.

"Director Liang? Director Li? ”

"Hurry! Hurry up and open the door to the two directors! ”

The voice came from inside the gate, Wang Ye turned his head to look inside the machinery factory, and saw four or five people walking towards the door in a hurry, led by an old man with gray hair in a yellow-green military uniform, and it was he who spoke.

At the same time, his left sleeve that was pulled into a pimple attracted Wang Ye's attention, which showed that he only had one arm!

"Forget it, let's go in first!"

Seeing this scene, Liang Jinsong sighed and said.

Because the contract for the conversion of military to civilian has not yet been signed, and the Red Star Machinery Factory is still a military factory, Li Gang, who belongs to the local industrial bureau, cannot enter without obtaining a permit, and just when he parked the car at the door and waited for the doorman to report the news, Wang Ye and Liang Jinsong arrived, and the conversation just now occurred.

"Two leaders! Get straight on board! Go to the office building! ”

With the voice of the one-armed old man at the head, Liang Jinsong nodded and waved his hand to get into the car.

Then everyone got into the car, and the jeep engine roared into the interior of the machine factory, and looking out of the window, Wang Ye could see the workers who were walking, enjoying the cool air or sitting idly, as well as the noisy children running and playing, in shabby clothes and emaciated.

At the same time, the whole factory area also looks full of history, there is a dilapidated feeling of disrepair, almost all the vacant land has been reclaimed into vegetable fields and farmland, and there are even some chickens and ducks quacking, walking around the factory road.

The appearance of the car attracted their attention, some talked with each other, some stopped to watch, and some people followed directly and walked towards the office building in the center of the machine factory.

Obviously, this is not what a normal factory should be.

Wang Ye sighed.
