Chapter 51 Unspeakable

But in this matter, Fan Wubing is obviously judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"If you want to run that garment factory, you still need to use some brains." Director Song said to Fan Wubing.

"What do you mean?" Fan Wubing felt a little puzzled and hurriedly asked for advice.

"Whether you use the name of material processing or sole proprietorship, it can't change the fact that the garment factory is not a state-owned enterprise, so under the existing legal framework, this is a bit of a problem." Director Song said.

After listening to Director Song's explanation, Fan Wubing finally understood one thing, and couldn't help but smile wryly. It turns out that people who have been dead for hundreds of years will also have a huge impact on China's economic development!

The country is still a planned economy, and it is based on the works of Marx and Engels on socialist theory in the last century. Among them, there is an iron rule about the division of economic types, "seven down and eight up".

In fact, domestic employment pressure was undoubtedly exposed as early as the 1960s, which is why the so-called "going to the mountains and going to the countryside" movement came into being. Young people who are full of enthusiasm and vitality, or have nowhere to go, must find an outlet for their passion. , so as to maintain social stability and harmony.

By the end of the 1970s, this long-term accumulation of employment pressure had reached a dangerous situation that could not be controlled. Therefore, in the face of surging employment pressure, the most sensible approach is to "open the gates and release the water". The inevitability of the privatization of the Chinese economy was fully revealed in 1979. If you follow it, you will survive, and if you go against it, you will perish.

In terms of law and policy, the legitimacy of Chinese private companies was determined this year, and Fan Wubing clearly knew that it would take another 20 years to continue intermittently to form a complete legal protection.

Director Song told Fan Wubing to listen to such an example.

In Wuhu, Anhui Province, Nian Guangjiu, an illiterate peddler who called himself a "fool", posed a huge problem for theorists all over China.

Nian Guangjiu was illiterate, he picked up cigarette butts as an apprentice, and set up a fruit stand. He was sentenced for the "crime of speculating". After he was released from prison, he started frying melon seeds in order to make ends meet. Because of his good craftsmanship, the melon seeds are knocked into three petals, and the fragrance is full of fragrance, and he gradually became famous. This year, he wanted to name his melon seeds. After much deliberation, he suddenly realized that his father was called "fool" by the neighbors, and he was also called "little fool" since he was a child, so he simply called "fool melon seeds". "Come on.

As soon as the sign of "Fool's Melon Seeds" was put up, he didn't expect that it would attract a lot of applause because of the special. The melon seeds can be sold for two to three thousand catties a day, so he invited some unemployed young people to be his helpers. In autumn, someone else counted them for him, and there were twelve, which made a big mess.

Nian Guangjiu's business is good, which made people around him envious. Now he hired twelve hired workers. Some people immediately thought of the famous statement made by Marx in "Das Kapital": "When the number of hired workers reaches eight, the number of hired workers will be reduced." Not an ordinary individual economy, but a capitalist economy, which is exploitation."

Obviously, in the orthodox discourse system of political economy at that time, the exploitative nature of age is unquestionable. In "Das Kapital", Volume 1, Chapter 9, "Rate of Surplus Value and Quantity of Surplus Value", Marx once clearly demarcated the boundaries between "small proprietors" and "capitalists". According to his calculations, at that time (19 In the middle of the century), those who hired less than eight workers and directly participated in the production process like the workers were "intermediate figures between capitalists and workers, and became small proprietors", while those with more than eight workers began to "occupy workers' Surplus value", for capitalists. In almost all socialist theories, "seven down and eight up" is an iron-clad line. Today, the long-established melon seed factory actually employs twelve people, the nature of which is almost self-evident.

A fool is a capitalist, and he won't believe anyone who says it, but it's true when he uses a theory. In the face of vivid reality, "classic" finally showed its paleness and embarrassment.

If the foolish melon seeds of Nian Guangjiu should be eliminated, how can the "family sideline" be developed? Is the number of people in all factories must be controlled under 7 people? This difficult problem posed by the "fool" made the theorists all over China red-faced.

In fact, in China at that time, Nian Guangjiu was by no means an isolated case. For the 100,000 industrial and commercial households that have just opened, whether the number of employees should be limited, whether it can exceed eight, has directly evolved from an abstract theoretical problem to a practical problem.

"So, what do you mean to say, if the number of workers in my garment processing factory exceeds eight, it is not an individual economy, but a capitalist economy that is currently very controversial?" Fan Wubing listened to Director Song's story , immediately understood his intention.

Director Song nodded helplessly, "Classics are classics. Although many comrades think that this is outdated, most people will use this as an issue. You must know that the current resistance to our reform is not It’s so big that many old comrades can’t figure it out!”

"Hey! Chairman, the old man may not have put Ma En in his eyes. The so-called theory is just for use. Can that stuff really be eaten? China has China's actual situation, is it true? Can you use those outdated theories to apply mechanically?" Fan Wubing sneered at this.

Director Song smiled wryly, "Although what you said sounds a bit out of the ordinary, but when you think about it, it's the truth."

"What does this have to do with me? Could it be that my garment factory also has to limit the scale?" Fan Wubing is most concerned about whether his garment factory can be put into production smoothly. After all, he has already fixed the equipment. People can't start work, and the previous ideas can all fall into emptiness.

"I'm afraid that's the case—" Director Song nodded.

"It's not right for you to do this!" Fan Wubing was a little anxious, "Didn't you say it was a good thing at the beginning? Now I can't get up and down, so what face do I have to go back to see Jiang Dong's elders?"

Director Song saw Fan Wubing's posture of wanting to drag him to ask him to blame, and said dumbfoundedly, "I haven't finished my sentence yet, why are you in a hurry? I mean, the resistance you encounter when you work alone It could be big, but we're willing to take some responsibility for you and make things relatively simple."

After Fan Wubing heard this, he knew that there was still room for maneuver in this matter. Thinking about what Director Song probably wanted from him, he said with emotion, "Well, there is no love for no reason in this world. There is no unreasonable hatred, Director Song is willing to help, presumably there is some request that I need to fulfill, right? But please be blunt!"

He is really a smart boy, he can know the elegance by hearing the stringed songs, he can catch up with Soochow Zhou Lang, but our Xiao Fan seems to be much younger than Zhou Lang! Director Song said with emotion, "We agree with you to attach the garment factory to a brand of a subordinate unit of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, so naturally the above-mentioned problems will not exist, but you can't use it to publicize it everywhere. Seeing Fan Wubing's skeptical look, he couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, I won't take your shares! It's just that we old guys want to see how capable you really are, and we will lose all in the future. You don't have to use our signboard to bluff and deceive!"

It's really not suitable to make a big fuss about this matter! Fan Wubing was so happy that he didn't expect that he would gain so much from a trip to Beijing, and he actually brought himself a protective umbrella, and it was a super big one!
