At the entrance of Hongxing 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, Wang Ye felt a completely different temperament from Liang Jinsong. Even though Liang Jinsong looked nearly fifty, his whole body already revealed the sharpness of a soldier, while Li Gang was different and made people feel... It feels quite approachable.
"Hello, Director Li."
"I will still need your care in the future."
The thought flashed past, and Wang Ye greeted Li Gang.
Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Li Gang nodded and said with a smile without thinking:
"Easy to say! Easy to say!"
"Not to mention the reform of converting the military into civilians at the Red Star Machinery Factory. It is an important reform project led by the Ministry of 5th Machinery and the Ministry of National Defense. Just because of your courage, Director Xiao Wang, to volunteer for the job, I have to fully support it!"
"Director Liang, are you right?"
Hearing what Li Gang said, Liang Jinsong, who was standing nearby and was smiling and watching the fun, his face froze, coughed slightly, nodded and said:
"This is the truth."
"But...according to the requirements of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery, I will provide up to 30% of the subsidy in previous years."
"The time is only one year, and the rest depends on your industrial system."
"How to find a way for the factory to survive is your problem."
Wang Ye, who was standing nearby, heard the conversation between the two and knew that they had begun to "game each other." Nowadays, the Red Star Machinery Factory is about to undergo the military-to-civilian reform, so theoretically, during the buffer period, At that time, Hongxing Machinery Factory had two superiors, namely the Provincial National Defense Management Office and the Yuntai City Industrial Bureau.
Then a question arose. Hongxing Machinery Factory, which could not make ends meet and had problems eating, should approach its superior for money?
If these two superiors are very rich, then this problem basically does not exist. Anyway, the public money is not your own money. No director or director is willing to cause too much embarrassment when he has rich money. If you allocate part of it, it won't be a big problem.
But obviously, this is not the case now. These two higher-level units are poor!
"Director Li, what about you?"
As soon as Liang Jinsong finished speaking, he quickly asked back without waiting for Li Gang to speak.
Regarding Liang Jinsong's question, Li Gang smiled slightly awkwardly, glanced at Wang Ye and said:
"Theoretically speaking, let alone one point, there is not even one cent."
"The state-owned factories in our local industrial system have production tasks every year, no matter whether the production tasks are large or small, but in the end subsidies are given according to the planned production tasks."
"But the current Hongxing Machinery Factory has no production tasks at all, resulting in no financial subsidy share for them."
"So, don't say we don't have enough money to subsidize them, even if we do."
"If we give it directly, it won't be easy to explain to other factories? A bowl of water will not be level, which is a taboo!"
"Director Liang, you know this question better than I do."
In the era of planned economy, there was essentially no "transaction", only "exchange". To give a simple example, if a state-owned pastry factory produces a ton of pastries, then these pastries will According to the planned demand, they are delivered to supply and marketing cooperatives in nearby areas, and the masses use food stamps and oil stamps to redeem them.
As a result, the state-owned pastry factories have no income, so how do they get their income? That is state subsidies.
For example, if the superior unit gives a state-owned pastry factory a total of one ton of pastry production tasks, it will assemble the corresponding flour, eggs, vegetable oil and other materials from other food raw material factories according to the material calculation and hand them over to the pastry factory to complete the corresponding tasks. Production tasks, and part of the "profit" will be subsidized at the same time to support the workers of the state-owned pastry factory.
Of course, there is actually money circulating in this process, but this circulation of money is not the direct circulation between buyers and sellers.
It is precisely because of this that Li said this just now.
Because the fact is as he said, the Red Star Machinery Factory has just left the military industry and moved to a local area. It does not have any civilian production tasks, so it is impossible to obtain any subsidies and profits.
In fact, this is why it is so difficult to advance the reform of converting the military into civilians.
Military factories basically do not have the ability to produce civilian products, so they cannot obtain production tasks, and thus cannot obtain subsidies. The local industrial system is also in debt. There are a lot of state-owned factories that cannot make ends meet and cannot be separated into production. The task is given to the military industry, but there is no money to invest in the renovation of these military factories. The final result is that the local industrial system is unwilling to accept these military factories.
"I said Director Li, how could you do this?"
"Our Red Star Machinery Factory is also a pilot project of the country's military-to-civilian reform, and you don't pay a penny? Isn't this appropriate?"
"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 must assign production tasks to them!"
Hearing what Li Gang said, Liang Jinsong stood there and became anxious, because if this was really carried out, everyone at the Red Star Machinery Factory would probably starve to death in the next month, let alone the issue of reform.
As soon as Liang Jinsong finished speaking, Li Gang smiled awkwardly. Just as he was about to say something, a slightly older voice suddenly came.
"Director Liang? Director Li?"
"Hurry! Open the door for the two directors!"
The sound came from inside the gate. Wang Ye turned his head and looked inside the machinery factory. He saw four or five people walking hurriedly towards the door. The leader was an old man with gray hair wearing a yellow-green military uniform. The one who spoke was he.
At the same time, his left sleeve rolled into a knot attracted Wang Ye's attention, which showed that he only had one arm!
"Forget it, let's go in first and talk about it later!"
Seeing this scene, Liang Jinsong sighed and said.
Because the military-to-civilian contract has not yet been signed, the Red Star Machinery Factory is still a military factory, so Li Gang, who belongs to the local industrial bureau, cannot go in without obtaining permission. Just when he parked his car at the door and waited for the guard to report the news , Wang Ye and Liang Jinsong arrived and had the conversation just now.
"Two leaders! Get in the car directly! Go to the office building!"
Following the voice of the one-armed old man at the head, Liang Jinsong nodded and waved to indicate getting in the car.
Then everyone got in the car, and the jeep engine roared into the interior of the machinery factory. Looking out from the car window, Wang Ye could see workers walking, enjoying the cool air, or sitting around, as well as workers running and playing noisily, wearing shabby and shabby clothes. Skinny children.
At the same time, the entire factory area also looks full of history, with a dilapidated feeling that has been in disrepair for a long time. Almost all the open spaces have been reclaimed into vegetable fields and farmland. There are even some chickens and ducks quacking while walking on the road to the factory area. Come and go.
The appearance of the car attracted their attention. Some people talked to each other, some stopped to watch, and some others followed directly towards the small office building in the center of the machinery factory.
Obviously, this is not a normal factory situation.
Wang Ye sighed.
