"Now, not only every household in our commune has built new houses, but also started raising chickens and pigs. They usually eat meat and no longer have to wait for the New Year and the holidays. They have money in their hands, not only every household has bought bicycles, but each household has one or two sewing machines. Young people assemble watches in watch factories to make money, and women work at home to do their jobs, which makes money again! Now only the men in our watch village will go to the fields to farm. If there were no public grains to be handed over every year, the commune would send people to force them to farm, or they would force these things to mix together to smoke, drink, chat and spank!" He Zhenguo said with a smile, and enthusiastically described the new situation in the countryside to everyone present.

"Your farmers really became ten thousand households?" Professor Dong Fang and Yu Mingquan both went to the countryside. They both experienced the bitter days of shortage of materials and poverty in the countryside. Now they heard the rural prosperity described by He Zhenguo, which was completely out of their cognition. Therefore, the two of them were surprised when they heard that the farmers had all become ten thousand households.

He Zhenguo nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, it's a true 10,000 yuan household! The watches produced by this watch factory are really easy to sell, the price is cheap and the quality is not bad. The watches they produce are in short supply in the city. Now our village not only has insufficient labor, but also recruits many young people from other villages. I want to say that this is a good time to find good products. Neither of the two can make them develop like this!"

He Zhenguo introduced the new changes in the countryside, which made everyone deeply think about the relationship between timing and products. Perhaps Lin Qiangsheng felt that now is a great time for the company to develop, and as long as there are good products, it would definitely achieve great success. This is what is called the spring breeze of national development!

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Everyone has heard what Comrade Zhenguo said just now. Farmers have found products that are in line with the market, so that they can greatly improve their lives. What I want to say is that the development of the company is related to each of us. Everyone should make themselves achieve results like Wanhu Village? Not only can they become rich, but they can also lead many people to become rich. Since you have this condition, you should work to a higher level. If you always only go around your own one-acre and three-point land, you will not have any great achievements in the future. You may be able to overturn you when you encounter any storm! The same is true for our company. If it is only at this level, then the economic tide will come in the future. We are just young children at the forefront of the tide!"

"Everyone goes back and think about development and opportunities, and how to do it in the future! There is also management reform to be implemented in one or two days, so everyone is mentally prepared!" Lin Johnson waved his hand and the meeting was over.

Everyone stood up and walked out of the conference room in groups of three or three. Xue Shenghong and Li Yuge surrounded Lin Xiang and asked this and that constantly, and Du Ping followed with a smile.

After He Zhenguo fell into the crowd, he thought for a while and walked to Lin Johnson and asked, "Johnson, do you see if the town where our factory is located has hope that like Wanhu Village, every household has bicycles, every household raises chickens and pigs to live a life without worrying about food and clothing?"

After sitting down again, Lin Qiang-sen said to He Zhenguo: "Brother He, please sit down. What's the situation in your hardware factory? Isn't it good now?"

After sitting down, He Zhenguo shook his head and said to Lin Johnson: "It is good to reason that Hongqi Hardware Factory was established by our commune and developed into this now! But I always feel that it seems to be almost meaningful, I don't know why this is!"

Lin Qiangsheng asked in confusion: "What do you think is the difference?"

He Zhenguo smiled honestly and said, "I can't understand the specifics. Look, the hardware factory in our commune now recruits more than 200 workers. The watch factory you run was in its early 200s at the beginning, but in a few months everyone in the watch factory became rich. That was what I saw with my own eyes. After another half a year, almost every household bought bicycles. And the young men and girls held weddings one after another, with gongs and drums flying in the sky. There were weddings and banquets every day in the summer of 1978. It was so lively!"

He Zhenguo said here, frowned and said, "But why do I think the hardware factory run by the commune has been open for a year and a half. But why didn't I see such a lively scene in our town? Why is this?"

Lin Qiang-Chengsheng thought for a while and said to He Zhenguo: "I paid the workers I recruited based on salary and bonuses for the watch factory I built, and the workers' monthly salary has been increased. When the salary is high, the people will have money to spend. Have you ever thought about this?"

He Zhenguo thought about it and sighed, "I once paid the workers as much as the salary plus bonus. I remember that at that time, every worker in the hardware factory offered more than 40 yuan, and the highest was that a master offered nearly 70 yuan!"

Then, he shook his head and said, "But later the commune said that this was capitalism and exploitation inequality. I was in a meeting and told me that I could only pay the salary according to my deadly salary. I had no choice but to cancel the bonus. Except for a few skilled skills, I usually take care of some canned meat, eggs, and other people are the same as ordinary workers. Everyone is more than 30 yuan. But after all, it is nearly 400 yuan every year, which is also a lot!"

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "You only pay workers more than 30 yuan. Although you think this money is quite large, you actually don't spend it on a month if you carefully calculate it. In addition, your hardware factory only recruits more than 200 workers and does not benefit more people, so that more people have something to do and make money. So many people save the money because they want to get married and have weddings and buy household appliances. There is no need for money in any aspect! Workers don't dare to spend money, so you feel that the hardware factory is not as successful as the watch factory. People are really benefiting, and what you used to be like now is normal. It is normal not to see the rich scene like the watch village!"

After hearing Lin Qiangsheng's words, He Zhenguo thought about it and nodded. He sighed: "It's too difficult for this commune to do something. If you want to change the status quo, but the cadres and masses from all over the commune oppose you. It's not okay for workers to earn more than cadres. It's not okay for anyone to make outstanding contributions or not to reward them. In this way, everyone has no motivation! Originally, everyone was a farmer who suddenly became a worker and had wages every month, which made other farmers even more jealous. Often, a bunch of people stared at them when they did something! Alas, after saying that, He Zhenguo sighed.

In fact, he also understood these things, just wanted to talk to Lin Qiangsheng and express his depression.

Lin Qiangsheng nodded in understanding and said in agreement: "I remember when Bincheng Automobile Factory just adjusted its salary, it encountered obstacles from superiors, and there were also criticisms from other enterprises and units in the city. It was really difficult to do something!"

At that time, Lin Xiangrong and his son wanted to increase the wages of the factory workers, but in the end, the main leaders of the province supported the workers and raised some wages. In this era, the state's management of enterprises was very rigid, not to mention the autonomy of enterprises. From recruiting personnel to supply of raw materials, from product sales to corporate compensation, the state arranged everything. It can be said that the enterprise is completely a machine that operates according to operation. If a business manager wants to make a slight change, it will arouse the vigilance of the entire system.

In the 1970s, the company managers could be called production team leaders. They listened to the state's orders, and no matter whether the company was good or bad, it had little to do with themselves. In the 1980s, the market economy began to emerge, and the state gradually began to loosen its ties with enterprises, but there were still repeated autonomy and serious local interference. Some people said that in this era, enterprises had to do it with their heads, and the same was true!

He Zhenguo nodded and said, "Now the factory in our commune has developed, but we have encountered many difficulties. For example, some people from the superiors want to give us a name when they see our factory doing well!"

Lin Qiangsheng asked in surprise: "What's the name? Did you agree?"

He Zhenguo shook his head and said, "My father and I discussed that after becoming a state-owned enterprise, this enterprise will no longer belong to the commune. Maybe the superiors will send someone to take over the factory. This is something we cannot agree to no matter what!"

"Oh~ This is almost the same, you can understand it!" Lin Johnson nodded. Giving a title seemed like a fantasy to Lin Johnson. If this were in the south, this would definitely not happen, but in the northeast, it may not be. It is also possible that some people want to turn this township enterprise into a state-owned enterprise out of public intention, because after becoming a state-owned enterprise, the superior department has the right to arrange employment in this enterprise. There are still a large number of unemployed young people in society now!

He Zhenguo said with a look of sorrow on his face: "We do not agree, but many cadres in the commune agree, and there are also workers. Everyone hopes to become a public servant and serve a job!" (To be continued...)
