Wu Youping had been in the Chamber of Commerce for a while. He originally didn't like businessmen. After that experience, his evaluation of businessmen was even lower. So when he heard the rather commercial term "investment", it was inevitable that he would have a feeling in his heart.

Unhappiness.

Although it was He Rui who said this, Wu Youping even felt a little bit resentful. If it was He Rui, Wu Youping expected He Rui to use different terms.

But Wu Youping couldn't see that He Rui meant to change the wording, so he could only say helplessly: "Chairman, I don't like this word."

"What you don't like is the operating principle. If it is a command-style execution, it will make China stronger. Do you like this word?" He Rui replied with a smile.

Seeing that He Rui fully understood what he was thinking, Wu Youping perked up and said, "Chairman, shouldn't our goal be to revive China?"

"For people who lack knowledge, the word rejuvenation is very attractive. But for you and Comrade Wu Youping, this way of looking at the problem is very narrow. Does revitalization have a relative status? Or does it actually exist technology and capabilities?

Can you tell me?"

Wu Youping had already considered this question and immediately replied: "It is China's leading position in the world."

"If it is the leading position, what dynasty is it? Qing Dynasty? Ming Dynasty? Tang and Song Dynasties? Qin and Han Dynasties? Or Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou?"

Wu Youping was stunned. Every time he discussed a specific issue, he must have a very clear goal. Once he entered such a detailed link, Wu Youping felt that he could not grasp the key points.

The same goes for the current Q&A. He Rui's definition of "revival" made Wu Youping unable to resist. For a moment, Wu Youping felt that his face was getting hot, and a feeling of shame arose spontaneously. He couldn't help but lower his head.

"Don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed. Reviving China is a technical task, a matter in the field of engineering. China has fallen into today's situation. First of all, China's development has stagnated and technological iteration has completely stopped. By establishing a scientific system, foreign countries have achieved very effective results.

The methodology has greatly improved the speed of technology iteration. Can you understand?"

Wu Youping was suddenly struck by the word 'technology iteration' and immediately raised his head, "Yes! Our technology iteration speed has indeed stagnated, and we have to learn from foreign countries."

"Youping, Mo Lixun wants to gain greater influence by attracting investment. Is it wrong from a person's point of view? Even from the perspective of normal business behavior, is Mo Lixun wrong? If you treat Mo Lixun

Li Xun is very dissatisfied, so what is your starting point? Can we analyze it from this perspective?"

Wu Youping thought for a while and didn't know how to express his displeasure with Mo Lixun, so he said what was in his heart, "I feel that all the money has been made away by those foreign businessmen."

He Rui declined to comment on this evaluation, but asked: "How do you think foreign businessmen made money?"

Talking about this, Wu Youping felt that he was quite well prepared, "They first lowered our prices, and then made a fortune by providing these products. Chairman, I have been thinking about it during this time and feel that these equipment are indeed very useful."

It's important, but they didn't teach us how to make equipment or the principles... By the way, they didn't teach us the ability to iterate technology."

"Everything you said is correct. But I want to ask you a question, what benefits did we give them in exchange for foreign businessmen giving us technology iteration capabilities?"

At this time, Wu Youping felt that his thoughts were clear, and he finally found the reason for his unhappiness, so he replied loudly: "That's why I am very unhappy."

"I mentioned this direction at the National Congress, how much do you remember?" He Rui asked.

Wu Youping recalled what He Rui said, "Well... establish a military industry system as soon as possible... and the mining industry must develop..."

"You don't need to recall, I will say it again based on your current view. According to the current technical level, there are two major directions for the objects we serve. One is the local armies of British and French colonies in Asia. When Britain and France arm these armies, they will not give them

State-of-the-art equipment, procurement

At that time, the quality requirements were not high, so this is our opportunity. We can use low prices to win orders. The other is a possible Russian order, because Russia’s industrial production capacity is relatively weak. In order to allow Russia to continue fighting, Britain and France may give

Russian money, let Russia purchase freely.”

Hearing this, Wu Youping suddenly remembered He Rui's previous description of this part, and couldn't help but interject, "I remembered, the chairman did say that at the time..."

"Let me finish." He Rui interrupted Wu Youping.

Wu Youping pursed his lips and stopped talking, trying to concentrate on listening to He Rui's story.

"The number of people who need this part of the equipment is at most two million, and we are grateful if we can get half a million of them. As you can understand now, due to layer upon layer of exploitation, we make very little money from it. But the reason why we

The purpose of continuing to attract investment is to obtain foreign complete sets of factory construction, complete sets of equipment and the production management brought by the experts attached to them. First learn, and then through reverse engineering, build our team of workers and engineers."

At this time, Wu Youping completely recalled what He Rui said, and felt ashamed for a moment. This was the third or fourth time he heard He Rui talk about these contents. Wu Youping found that he had listened to it the first few times, and read it many times afterward.

I couldn't understand the planning document at all.

At this moment, Wu Youping heard He Rui say again: "Don't regard shame as the most important thing now. If it takes you several times to understand more, then other comrades are the same as you. It's even possible that you

If it takes four times, they need five, six, seven or eight times.

This is the process of human learning and progress. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. As the Siping Municipal Party Committee Secretary and the Mayor of Siping, if shame makes you feel deeply impressed, then remember that comrades are similar to you when it comes to understanding new knowledge. You

We must learn to understand our comrades."

"...Yes." Wu Youping reluctantly replied.

He Rui sighed in his heart, Wu Youping was already pretty good, but the current job was still too stressful for this idealistic young man. But there was nothing that could be done about it. From an organizational point of view, leaders should be as idealistic as possible.

, because idealists will firmly believe that the status quo must be changed. This endogenous power is their advantage, but of course it will also bring adverse effects.

"Youping, I want you to tell me frankly, if you put aside Morrison and foreign businessmen, what do you feel is the most unacceptable now? Just say whatever comes to mind, and there is no need to look for something more based on your current knowledge.

Profound meaning. Because no matter how deep you dig, it will all be based on the content of your current knowledge system."

Wu Youping felt that what He Rui said made sense, so he tried to find the object of his displeasure. Soon, Wu Youping found the content that he disliked very much, but he hesitated again.

"Just tell me if you have anything." He Rui urged, taking out his pocket watch and checking the time.

Wu Youping did not dare to hesitate anymore and replied: "Comrades have great opinions and feel that we have not made any money."

"Haha, go back and announce that your salary will be increased by 10% this year."

Wu Youping was stunned, and for a moment he felt deeply ashamed of his outspoken words. But the words had already been spoken, and Wu Youping had no way to take them back. He could only try to say: "... Chairman, that's not what I meant.

.”

He Rui didn't feel any embarrassment at all, "I know you didn't mean that. I was talking about solutions to the dissatisfaction of comrades. After we complete the land reform in the entire Northeast and establish a relatively complete system, we will have to

Develop more detailed wage standards."

Wu Youping was very conflicted, "How can you care so much about remuneration when you serve the country, and the current salary is not low anymore."

"Youping, you are a staunch patriot and a comrade who is willing to do anything for change. Of course, you are also rich and don't care about your livelihood at all..."

Wu Youping was initially surprised by He Rui's praise, and became even more unhappy when He Rui mentioned that he was not short of money. This displeasure was not directed at He Rui, but because Wu Youping knew that many comrades actually had opinions on this matter.

So Wu Youping wanted to make a statement, but before he could say anything, He Rui interrupted, "Listen to what I have to say!"

"Yes!" Wu Youping decided to listen to what He Rui said first, and then expressed his intention to donate his family property.

He Rui continued: "If I guess correctly, you have to donate your family property."

Wu Youping was stunned. He never expected that He Rui would say such a thing.

"Our Civilized Party will never accept private donations. Everything has pros and cons. It is harmful for a political party to accept private donations. Moreover, the so-called charity and dissipation of family wealth can be regarded as personal behavior and organizational behavior for people outside the organization.

If you are internal, it will definitely be regarded as an organizational behavior, which will do more harm than good. Moreover, donating family property is a battle of emotions. Do you think it is appropriate to engage in a battle of emotions within the organization?"

Wu Youping felt so angry that he finally reluctantly replied: "It's not appropriate."

After saying that, I was still a little upset, so I added, "It is already very difficult to calm down the disputes of temper within the organization."

"So we will discuss this issue later when we have the opportunity. Let's get back to the current issue. You are not the only one who is dissatisfied with foreign businessmen in our Northeast. Most comrades are dissatisfied. But what is the reason? We attract investment and make money from the domestic market.

money or money from foreign markets?”

"Is the profit made domestically? No!" Wu Youping tried hard to make a judgment, "The chairman said that what we are making now is money from foreign markets."

"With our current production capacity and bargaining power, we can't make money from foreign markets, so we simply put aside earning currency and use accounting methods to conduct barter trade. On the surface, it is recorded in pounds, francs and oceans.

Account, in fact, there is no cash flow at all in trade. But really

What is flowing with cash is domestic trade. Although we are short of cash, we still have to pay currency to pay wages. Adding in the currency part of taxes, we only have so much money in real circulation. If you can understand, comrades,

If you are dissatisfied, you talk to them about it."

Wu Youping followed He Rui's train of thought, originally feeling that although many things were unpleasant, he could still understand them. After hearing He Rui's account of cash flow, his train of thought suddenly became confused.

However, Wu Youping has been doing work in this area for the past year, and it didn’t take long for him to understand it. After clarifying this new knowledge point, Wu Youping felt a sudden enlightenment. For a moment, he was excited, happy, and ashamed. Finally,

But it all came together in one sentence, "A 10% salary increase is really a lot."

After saying this, Wu Youping felt very surprised that he actually sighed for money, which was completely unimaginable before.

"Yes, a 10% increase in cash receipts is indeed a lot. Many comrades look at their income and hear so many transaction figures, how can they be balanced in their hearts. So to let comrades understand this, the Siping Municipal Committee must train

It’s time to add this content.”

Wu Youping felt like he was just waking up from a dream, but he felt something was wrong, so he quickly asked: "What about other areas?"

"The income of the masses and cadres in other areas has increased faster than you think. I am talking about the speed of improvement. Because the land reform system itself has made the income of the masses and cadres greater by straightening out production relations and allocating production materials.

Moreover, the Siping area has the highest proportion of off-the-job and semi-off-the-job cadres in the entire Northeast. The income of these cadres relies more on government finance, and they are the most sensitive people to wage income."

Hearing this, Wu Youping felt that he couldn't bear it again. He said: "Wait a minute, Chairman, let me think about it again."

He Rui sighed, but didn't say anything. He just picked up the document and read it. No matter what Wu Youping thought, most of the recent news was very good news in He Rui's opinion. For example, the number of workers in Siping increased significantly, and for technology

The task of tackling the problem, that is, measuring all the existing equipment and drawing the drawings, went extremely smoothly.

Seeing these reports, He Rui was going to send people to do random inspections. Things went so smoothly that even He Rui couldn't believe it. If there is no fraud below, it means that in the second half of this year, that is, 1916

Replica replacement parts for existing equipment could begin in the second half of the year.

Once the processing technology is improved in imitation, the establishment of Northeastern industrial standard parts can begin.

Nowadays, Northeast equipment is also made by all countries, including imperial and metric. Once the formulation of Northeast standard parts is started, it is equivalent to establishing China's industrial standards. Having its own industrial standards does not mean that there will be a strong industry. It just uses the 20th century

It’s just about building industry based on industrial ideas.
