If you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are prosperous, you will help the world.

Su Xing is not a saint, but he is not a bad person. He thinks he is more sensible, but he is also considered to be a relatively short-term protection.

He doesn't like the gossip of the villagers, but the people around him can live a good life, which is what he wants to see.

While Tong Guoxin and Su Xing were chatting, someone came over outside. Yan Zhiqin leaned his head into the room a little sneakily.

"Is there anything wrong?" Yan Zhiqin tugged his head several times, and Su Xing felt that he should be in trouble.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you." Yan Zhiqin became polite, as if waiting for Su Xing to take the initiative to greet him, walked over and looked at Tong Guoxin, "Are you Director Tong?"

"Do you know me?" Tong Guoxin was a little strange.

"I have seen your photos and your employment documents have been sent." Yan Zhiqin said, "I didn't expect to meet Director Tong here. It's really surprising."

"I wonder which unit you are in Jiangcheng?" Tong Guoxin didn't know Yan Zhiqin yet.

"I was confused and didn't have time to introduce myself." Yan Zhiqin smiled embarrassedly, "I am the deputy director of Jiangcheng Beverage Factory No. 2. Yan Zhiqin. The next door is my cousin. I haven't come back to see it for many years. This time I came back to see it, but I didn't expect to meet you, Director Tong."

"Beverage Factory 2?" Tong Guoxin recalled a little, as if he knew the unit, "Is the address on Jiefang Avenue?"

"That's right, it's that place." Yan Zhiqin was very happy to see Tong Guoxin knowing and nodded immediately, "Jiangcheng Beverage Factory No. 2 has a very historical heritage and has a history of about a hundred years. At the beginning, it was a soda factory built by foreign merchants, and later became a state-owned unit and has developed for nearly a hundred years."

"But as far as I know, the situation in Factory 2 is not optimistic now, and the production line seems to have stopped?" said Tong Guoxin.

"There is no stopping all, and there is still a production line." Yan Zhiqin said, "The Second Factory is a century-old factory. There are hundreds of people in the store, all of whom are counting on the Second Factory to pay wages. If the factory can't continue, these people will have no source of income and will all be laid off. The wife, children and children at home will be hungry. Director Tong, you can't ignore it."

"What's the situation before Factory II?" Tong Guoxin asked.

"The soda from Factory 2 sold very well before." Yan Zhiqin said immediately, "The people who were queuing up at the factory gate were crowded with soda. It was troublesome to enter and exit, and some even started to get more goods."

"Then why can't the operation continue now, and there is only one production line left, barely maintaining it. Maybe even the only production line left in the end will stop, and all the hundreds of people in the factory will be laid off?" said Tong Guoxin.

"Everyone doesn't like drinking soda, so they all go to drink Pepsi Coke and Jianlibao, which caused the soda in Factory 2 to be sold, and the production line can only be stopped one by one. If the remaining one is not for everyone to have work and have hope, it will actually be almost stopped." Yan Zhiqin said, "The soda produced by our Factory 2 is actually similar to Pepsi Coke and Jianlibao. I just can't figure out why those people don't buy the soda in Factory 2 and have to go to drink Pepsi Coke and Jianlibao."

"There must be differences in taste, otherwise the market share would not have dropped to such a strong level." Su Xing said, "There may be factors that pursue foreign flavor and sports drinks, so drink Pepsi and Jianlibao. But these factors are definitely not the main ones. Factory No. 2 itself has not made progress, and the beverage formula does not follow the market to innovate and improve, so it becomes like this."

"Su Xing is right. He can see clearly. As the deputy factory director, you can't see this. You will only blame others for squeezing your market, but you don't want to find problems from yourself. How can you do a good job in Factory II?" Tong Guoxin said, "You have to see your own problems first to win the market. Just complain about why customers choose other beverages and don't choose Soda for Factory II. What's the role of it? It won't work at all."

"I understand this, but I still have to support you, Director Tong." Yan Zhiqin said, "Director Tong, you were engaged in investment promotion when you were in Hubei. You can't just focus on investment promotion, regardless of the life or death of local companies, right? You still hope to be more tilted in terms of policies."

"If I really don't care about the life or death of local enterprises, how could I have heard of Factory II?" Tong Guoxin said, "I have seen the enterprises in Jiangcheng, so I know this. This situation in your Factory II is not an isolated case, nor an exception, but a common phenomenon. In the early years, beverages were planned goods, and the country brought beverages into the ranks of planned management products. There were no competitors in China, including Arctic Ocean, Shanhaiguan, Zhengguanghe, Bawangsi, Tianfu Cola, Laoshan Cola, and Shaolin Cola. These beverages account for nearly half of the total national output and are strong. However, in the past ten years, the beverage market has been opened. These beverages are no longer planned products, and the country has not stopped the emergence of competitors. They have disappeared one after another. Jiangcheng Beverage Factory II probably cannot escape this fate."

Su Xing listened on the side. He was actually a little surprised. Yan Zhiqin had told him before that he would go to work in his factory after graduating from university. Unexpectedly, it was Jiangcheng Beverage Factory No. 2.

There is no vitality in the era of planned economy. If you do well, you will not do well. Anyway, if you have a guarantee from the country, you will not be laid off. If there are really competitors, you will be blocked by the country. When it becomes a market economy, the country's blocking force against competitors is slightly weaker, and the situation that Tong Guoxin said occurs.

Several major beverage manufacturers, which originally accounted for nearly half of the market, were eliminated by the times, and even the wave of resistance was not aroused.

Although the market economy is cruel, it can promote social development well. Survival of the fittest should be the law of nature and the law of social development.

Let me take the position of mediocre people or enterprises, forcibly suppress the people or enterprises that were originally motivated to develop, and the ultimate benefit is only those who are in vain and waste resources.

It is funny in itself to be truly diligent, thinking about innovation, and thinking about hard work.

Society should encourage bravery, motivate people who are brave enough to innovate and work hard.

You can sympathize with the weak, and you should not be the weak.

"Director Tong, you are right. I am also considering innovation and development now, but I don't have funds." Yan Zhiqin said, "Can you tell the bank and ask them to lend some more money to our factory to help us overcome the difficulties?"

Yan Zhiqin is here to ask for money!
