[194] I also want a public-private partnership!

The price of each of the 20 faucets in March 1950 was 31.5 yuan. The so-called faucets are the pure cotton flat cloths registered by Yufeng Spinning Factory in Yangpu District, Shanghai. Because of its good quality, people later used 20 pure cotton flat cloths as faucets. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yufeng Spinning Factory was nationalized and renamed Shanghai No. 17 Cotton Textile Factory. The faucets were changed from the previous 40-digit English yards to about 37 meters in length to one 10 zhang.

At that time, the domestic textile industry was still using the market system. The so-called cloth is ten feet long, one meter and ten feet long, and one piece of cloth is 100 feet long and 33.3 meters long. In this way, the ex-factory price of each piece of cloth was already 30 cents per foot. In addition, transportation was inconvenient and transportation costs were high in those years. Overseas blocked and banned, market antagonists hoarded, and any cloth shop in Beidu, a foot of fine cloth costs at least 60 cents. This is still the government suppressing prices, otherwise it would have to become the same as the "Rice and Cotton Battle" in Puhai at the end of last year, and the antagonists were hyped up to 381 feet.

Ma Shuiqing, the owner of Jiruichang Silk and Satin, doesn't believe that Ruifengxiang can make money on the faucet's fine cloth at a retail price of 4 cents per foot! You should know that the purchase price is 3 cents per foot plus freight, warehousing fees, store rent and taxes, as well as the manual expenses in the store. Even the cloth shop that knows how to save costs must be sold for 5 cents to make a profit!

Rui Fengxiang dares to sell the faucet fine cloth for 40 cents per foot, which is to kill people! As long as he has sufficient supply and continues to sell at this price, there will not be a second cloth shop in Jeonbuk who dares to sell cotton cloth except Rui Fengxiang. Who dares to sell at a loss at this price!

Ruifengxiang dared to sell this price. Ma Shuiqing knew in his heart that it was entirely because of the dazzling array of new fabrics. Ma Shuiqing had never seen these fabrics before. Needless to say, they must be the benefits given by the government after the public-private partnership! Ma Shuiqing suddenly had a flash of thought and realized, "Is this public-private partnership a red-topped businessman like Hu Xueyan?"

Ma Shuiqing squeezed into the surging crowd hungryly, and was struggling to watch and remember the various fabrics of Ruifengxiang. He roughly recorded as many varieties and prices as possible, and quickly returned to his own Jiruichang Silk and Satin Village. He called directly to inquire about the wholesale prices of textile trading companies in Beidu today.

"What? Or 31 yuan per horse! What about the new variety? No?..."

Just when Ma Shuiqing was at a loss, the bosses of other large cloth stores were also jumping around like Ma Shuiqing, and the shop owners began to call each other and connect them together.

After talking on the phone, Ma Shuiqing learned that not only Ruifengxiang, but also all public-private joint cloth stores in Jeonbuk today are selling goods, and they are selling new products.

What to do? What to do? Ma Shuiqing was in a mess. She saw that there was no one in the shop Sunday, and she was about to have the desire to die.

He regrets it! Why did he get so sad that he dared to fight against the party? The toasts made by the public and private joint ventures are not eaten, but now if he wants to have a public and private joint venture, he is afraid he will be punished for wine!

When he thought of the public-private joint venture, Ma Shuiqing immediately felt that there was still a glimmer of hope of regaining his hope. He quickly called the owner of other private cloth shops and headed straight to the Beidu Municipal Zhengfu Commercial Bureau. He sat in the rickshaw to make up his mind. No matter what the leadership group of Zhengfu Public-private joint ventures said, he was a Ji Ruichang, who accepted the punishment, only wanted to catch the last bus of the public-private joint venture, and only asked Zhengfu to provide him with low-priced and high-quality new fabrics to him.

What if Zhengfu is unwilling to do? Ma Shuiqing felt trembling when she thought of this, and she almost collapsed into the human resources rickshaw.

"It's time for Jiruichang to close the door in less than three months. The nylon fabric is so beautiful and smooth, with thick and thin styles, and the price is even cheaper than lake silk. If this continues, let alone cotton cloth, even the silk business will not be able to be done in the future."

Ma Shuiqing and other anxious cloth shop owners finally waited for news at the Beidu Municipal Government and Public Business Bureau, requiring public-private partnerships to be acceptable, but they must first accept a two-month inspection period. Anyone who accepts this condition will send public representatives to the government tomorrow to start checking accounts and promoting the employee welfare system.

The Prime Minister and Xiaoqiang are currently talking in the Premier's Office of the State Council.

"Comrade Xiaoqiang, I discussed with the Chairman and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and I plan to ask you to pick a heavier order. Are you willing?"

Xiaoqiang felt a sudden slap in his heart, thinking, what burden was heavier than the chairman secretary and transportation captain in front of him?

"I'm idle and idle. Prime Minister, just say it. If you think I can do it, I will work hard."

The Prime Minister smiled kindly and said carelessly: "Don't be restrained or nervous. Aren't you smoking? Come on, smoke one."

Xiaoqiang was amused by the Prime Minister, "You don't smoke, it's not appropriate for me to smoke."

The Prime Minister humorously raised his hands from the armrest of the sofa and patted him: "Who said I don't smoke? Sometimes I want to smoke one too. Do you think I have an ashtray here? Come on, give me one of your good cigarettes."

Xiaoqiang grinned and handed over a Chinese stick, helped the Prime Minister ignite, then clicked one, and started to suck with the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Look, I just can't learn from you old smoker to smoke rings. It can be seen that things need to be practiced to make perfect, and people need to exercise to gain abilities."

Xiaoqiang looked at the Prime Minister with wide eyes open, thinking that the Prime Minister is going to make trouble?

The Prime Minister then said, "The Chairman and Commander-in-Chief Zhu have discussed it. In order to give full play to your talents, I will prepare you to serve as the Secretary of the Premier of the State Council and the Secretary of the Minister of the State Department. In other words, you will also be my secretary and General Zhu's secretary in the future. What do you think?"

After the Prime Minister said that, he looked at Xiaoqiang lovingly and expressed his blessings and expectations in silent words.

Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, his mind was empty and he couldn't say anything. He said for a while: "Is this suitable?"

The Prime Minister explained: "The 491 project is huge and complex. The party, government and military must be more closely connected to complete the project. At present, the Party Committee, Military Commission and the State Council have established their respective 491 project leadership groups. In the meantime, a comrade who knows how to coordinate is needed. After thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable. If you have three positions and are all secretary, will you feel wronged?"

Xiaoqiang quickly said, "I am flattered, but I am afraid that if I can't do it well, it will cause trouble for the Prime Minister and Chairman Zhu."

The Prime Minister put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the coffee table in front of the sofa and said, "Don't be afraid, we are there, just do it, I'll take care of you if there is any problem."

Xiaoqiang came back from the brief blank space of thinking, thought quickly and asked, "Then what do I do usually?"

Seeing Xiaoqiang agreeing, the Prime Minister smiled and said, "Why are you confused? Of course, the secretary does whatever he needs to do. The State Council is doing a lot of things at present. Isn't it now promoting public-private partnerships? You usually read the report when you have time and report to me when you find any problems. The Ministry of State is promoting the military dress-up and tactical drills under new conditions. You should also read the report from General Zhu's office and make suggestions to General Zhu. You have been working on the Chairman for so long and have become familiar with it. I don't need to say more."

Xiao Qiang thoughtfully, isn’t this just like being an advisor in the Chairman’s place? He is not as tired as an ordinary secretary to draft official documents after running around, and he is capable of doing it himself.

"Okay, Prime Minister, don't worry, I'll do it, but if you think I'm not doing well in the future, you must immediately withdraw me. Don't make things difficult for you. I'm feeling guilty."

The Prime Minister joked: "Before I was doing it, I thought about pushing the blame to me. I can't tell, Xiaoqiang, you are quite sloppy."

In this way, Cao Xiaoqiang became the three-position secretary who served as the top leaders of the Party, government and military. Although the Chairman and Premier Zhu had other secretaries, secretary like Xiaoqiang who served as the Three Realms was the first since the founding of the country. Xiaoqiang felt that his job was similar to the position of the leader of a certain engineering coordination group in later generations.

Cao Xiaoqiang, who had just become the secretary of the Premier's General Office, immediately devoted himself to the public-private joint venture work at the request of the Prime Minister.

"We cannot agree to the public-private partnership requirements of these back-entered shop owners so easily! How can we explain to the advanced public-private joint ventures in this way? Do we need to treat it with the advanced public-private joint ventures? I think we need to punish it slightly, and at the same time let the advanced public-private joint ventures taste some sweetness. I suggest that these back-entered shops have a nominal two-month inspection period, and then officially transfer to the public-private joint ventures after the inspection period expires in two months. In the past two months, the public representatives first entered the account to find out the store's revenue status and inventory status, improve employee benefits and welfare levels, and complete the primary socialist commercial transformation." Xiaoqiang said decisively at the Public-Private Joint Venture Meeting of the Government Council.

The highest level in this meeting was Gu Yongli, the leader of the leading group of the industrial and commercial public-private joint venture, and the official-level cadre. Xiaoqiang himself was the official-level department-level. Xiaoqiang became bolder when he saw that there was no prime minister-level leader in the meeting.

Gu Yongli nodded in agreement. He was the leader of the leadership group of the Industrial and Commercial Public-Private Partnership of the State Council, but he did not dare to neglect the so-called auditor cadre around him. Gu Yongli knew that this young man was only in the 20th century and was already the secretary of the prime minister. This is amazing. Isn’t the Prime Minister’s words the Prime Minister’s meaning? He had heard internal news before that this young man was actually the secretary of the chairman and was transferred from Fengzeyuan. There were also news that this young man was not the secretary of the chairman, but General Zhu, who was transferred from Chantan Temple. With many different opinions, Gu Yongli didn’t know which one was real and which one was fake, but in short, he could be sure that the secretary of the prime minister alone was already overwhelmed. In this case alone, Cao Xiaoqiang spoke with a lot of weight.

Gu Yongli turned out to be a political cadre of the 115th Division. He spoke firmly with the style of a soldier: "Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang said it very thoroughly, and I fully agree! The advanced and the backward must be treated differently! Otherwise, how can we do our work in the future? The backward elements saw that the general trend was hopeless, so we had to surrender and ask for the treatment of advanced elements. Should we just transfer it to public-private joint ventures? In this way, the active surnames of advanced elements will also be affected. In the future, these directors and owners of industrial and commercial industries simply don't have to compete for advanced ones. Just wait and see if there is any sweetness? If there is a sweetness, cooperate, and if there is no sweetness, you will resist. Such backward employees cannot encourage them."

When Cao Xiaoqiang saw that his suggestion was adopted, he felt happy and thought that the actual work below was not difficult.

Cao Xiaoqiang said with satisfaction: "There is another point I want to say. Among the units that have completed public-private partnerships, public representatives can't go down and become grandfathers after they can't go down. They must learn from the investors humbly. After all, they have worked for a lifetime and have rich experience. Some of our public representatives just took off their military uniforms and entered the industry. The blacksmith must be strong himself. Public representatives must strengthen their own business level so that they can't let the investors laugh at them. The business decisions in their daily lives must be discussed and they cannot be a one-man show."

Comrade Xiangyang is the leader of the Beidu Public and Private Partnership Leading Group. After listening to Cao Xiaoqiang's two speeches, he said:

"After the two-month inspection period, I agreed to supply new goods to these back-in-the-store owners. I think it's a bit too cheap for them. We had a lot of quarrels before, but these shop owners just didn't buy it and were reluctant to attend a meeting of public-private joint ventures. Now seeing the continuous stream of new products, they were anxious. I think their motivation was not pure! According to the current sales momentum of new fabrics, I can't see that these back-in-the-store owners will close their doors one by one in three months. By then, all these businesses will be merged into the stores that had previously completed public-private joint ventures. Wouldn't that be better? We can buy those closed capital stores that can be used to open state-owned stores and all profits will be paid to the public. Wouldn't that be done in one step?"

Immediately, many comrades agreed with the idea of ​​Team Leader Xiangyang. In their opinion, the original sin of the capitalists is obvious. Those who agree to public-private partnerships are advanced elements. That's all, as for those stubborn elements, they are not worthy of sympathy. Since there is a way to directly defeat them, they can simply take a ruthless move and completely close their business.

Xiaoqiang was afraid of this idea. He thought about it and organized a language and said: "The current goal set by the central government is to transform public-private partnerships, not to kill these shop owners with one stick. If we do this, even if it succeeds, it will have an impact on the public-private partnerships that are being promoted in other industries. It will be more difficult to promote public-private partnerships in the future. Things will hurt their species, and capitalists will have great resistance. Besides, these stores are old stores for decades, and some even have a history of hundreds of years. This brand is an intangible asset. If we beat them away, it is actually harming national interests.

In the future, we will of course build state-owned commercial formats on a large scale, but not the current brand-style time-honored store, but the establishment of large chain super malls, chain department stores, and chain convenience stores. This is the future business development model and the direction of state-owned asset allocation. The current time-honored brands are enough as long as they complete the public-private partnership, and do not need to be converted to state-owned enterprises. The central government's deployment is far-sighted and broad-minded. We must follow the central government's deployment and grasp it in a strategic direction."
