Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"What's your factory going to do next?"

Fang Boyan suddenly asked about the next development of the machinery factory.

Lu Changshun said hurriedly: "Our factory is ready to make a concerted effort to build several three-wheeled agricultural vehicle production lines through purchase and self-renovation. Of course, to achieve this goal, we cannot do without the strong support of the city."

"If the city does not take charge of unified purchase and sale this time, your factory will sell these agricultural tricycles on its own."

"Do you have confidence?"

"what!"

Lu Changshun was shocked.

Up to now, whether it is a large state-owned enterprise or a social enterprise, the goods are purchased and sold in a unified manner by the competent authorities.

Factories and enterprises are responsible for production, and products are allocated to the sales department by higher authorities.

Buy goods from manufacturers at a price slightly higher than the cost price.

Then give the sales department a guiding selling price.

The planned economic model has been used for nearly thirty years.

Fang Boyan suddenly suggested that the county machinery factory find a way to sell electric tricycles on its own.

Not to mention Lu Changshun who was shocked, any factory leader would be shocked if they heard it.

"Comrade Lu Changshun, please go out first. I have something to talk to Comrade Lin Kaifeng alone."

Fang Boyan ordered Lu Changshun to leave without any warning.

Let Lu Changshun step aside temporarily.

Lu Changshun, with a head full of questions, gave Lin Kaifeng a look that urged him to answer carefully.

Walk out of your office.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, there are no outsiders here. If you are in charge, how do you plan to conduct sales?"

Lin Kaifeng's heart moved.

Calculating the time, it should be this year.

Has the document been sent out?

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you haven't answered my question yet."

"If I were to do it, I would hold a trade fair for agricultural tricycles."

"The so-called trade fair is just like the old days when people went to the big market in the countryside and set up stalls to sell things."

Lin Kaifeng tried his best to express how to sell the electric tricycle in words that Fang Boyan could understand.

Choose the most prosperous area in the area and park two electric tricycles.

Attract the attention of the people, and then demonstrate the electric tricycle's ability to transport people and goods in various ways.

In addition to promotion, Lin Kaifeng will also contact some construction companies.

The number of large trucks produced domestically is limited.

Due to their own particularity, construction companies must have extremely strong demand for tricycles that can load cargo.

There is also a certain demand for this from production teams and communes.

Each production team has started to engage in side businesses.

Surplus vegetables, meat, poultry and eggs need to be transported to the county or city.

When it comes to delivery, there must be a transport vehicle.

Fang Boyan said noncommittally: "It's a good idea, but the production teams and communes below may not have the money to afford such a car."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can pay in installments without paying any interest. You can pay part of the money every month."

The agricultural tricycle is equipped with a two-cylinder engine and has a maximum load capacity of 1.5 tons.

Nowadays, it is definitely a hot commodity.

"What if I don't give it?"

"If you don't want to pay for the goods, you can give us something to offset it."

Lin Kaifeng said with a smile: "As long as the agricultural and sideline products can be sold quickly, the poor and lower-middle peasants will have more money in their hands. At that time, they will also buy a large number of tricycles for convenient transportation."

"This tricycle can travel nearly 300 kilometers with a full tank of gas, which is more than enough to drive from the brigade or commune to the city for a round trip."

Fang Boyan changed his tone and said, "Speaking of the communes and brigades below, I have a few more questions that I want to discuss with you."

"Don't be nervous, just chatting casually."

Lighting a cigarette, Fang Boyan said calmly, "You are an educated youth who went to the countryside and stayed in the county for a while. You should know something about the situation in the countryside and among the educated youth who returned to the city."

"In order to settle the educated youth who returned to the city and improve the living standards of the poor and lower-middle peasants, the relevant departments allowed streets, factories, and communes to set up large collectives, small collectives, and community-run enterprises."

"In general, there are some problems. Where do you think we should start to solve these problems?"

Lin Kaifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Director Fang, you are putting me in a difficult position. How can a young man like me dare to make rash judgments on such a big matter?"

"Just say whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you're wrong."

Fang Boyan flicked the ash from his hand.

"Things are different now. No one will make a big deal out of you. I won't hold on to a certain word you said and make things difficult for you. Just tell me."

"How do we solve the problems that arise in social enterprises, large collectives, and small collectives?"

"Then I'll be bold and say a few nonsense words."

Lin Kaifeng took a deep breath and said carefully: "Large collectives, small collectives, and social enterprises are all special products that emerged under special circumstances."

"To put it bluntly, our county machinery factory is actually the same."

"It's the same as their situation. They are born with insufficient blood and cannot produce blood on their own."

"If there is any difference, it is that I have the identity of a worker."

Large collectives belong to state-owned factories, and small collectives belong to streets.

The purpose of its establishment is to settle the surplus labor force.

It is mainly aimed at educated youth returning to the city and recent junior and senior high school graduates.

The status is temporary worker.

The situation of social enterprises is even more complicated.

A collective enterprise belonging to the commune.

The nature is half industrial and half agricultural.

He does the work of a worker, but his identity is a farmer.

The funds for the three types of enterprises all come from communes, factories, and streets.

Their emergence has solved the work problems of some people.

But it also adds a lot of burden to it.

Starting in 77, the state began to cut funding allocated to various departments.

State-owned enterprises, sub-districts and communes themselves are all facing the problem of insufficient funds.

We also have to pay salaries to the subsidiaries below.

A vicious cycle gradually formed.

"With each layer of burden, the burden will only grow larger. We must find a few companies and factories to serve as pilots and find a different path."

"For example, you should be responsible for your own profits and losses and find your own way to make a living."

"We should take this as an example and let the social enterprises, large and small collectives, and some factories that were hastily built during the famine and war years see that they can find a way out and have enough food if they rely on their own efforts."

Lin Kaifeng made a bold assertion.

If they continue to sit and wait, the four types of enterprises and factories will be cut off from food supplies along with their superior units.

"This sentence is really to the point and merciless."

Fang Boyan put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "It's hard to hear, but it's the truth."

"Let's not talk about far away places, just take the city machinery factory as an example. In order to settle the children of educated youth who returned to the city from the factory workers, they set up a large collective."

"The so-called large collective is more like a nursery."

"The situation is even worse than the county machinery factory a few months ago. These collectives, big and small, simply do not have the ability to produce on their own."

"We really need to set up two role models to set an example for everyone, so that they can understand that they should earn their own living."

These enterprises and factories have problems, and they are all concentrated on one point.

Lack of autonomous hematopoiesis.

No ability to generate own funding sources.

Every day I either eat and wait to die, or do some odd jobs.

No motivation, no ability.

Gradually it became a blood-sucking burden.
