But no matter what, being able to financially divest it is a big step forward.

You know, for Hongguang Machinery Factory, the production department, that is, the original production workshop, is actually still making a profit.

After all, it is still a planned economy. Whatever the factory produces, tasks are assigned from above, and the factory produces according to the tasks.

As for the dual-track system, that is, the system where unplanned parts can be issued batches and taken to the market, at the moment anyway, production units such as Hongguang Machinery Factory have not started to implement it, and only some mining companies have started trial operations.

In other words, the main reason why Hongguang Machinery Factory cannot make ends meet and needs government subsidies for a long time is the huge tertiary industry sector.

Most of these tertiary industry departments do not create profits and are mostly pure expenditure departments.

For example, the Publicity Section includes workers at the Workers' Theater, film projectionists, actors and singers from the Workers' Art Troupe, and other entertainers. They are all paid at this time.

As for their performance activities, they usually perform for factory employees, perform in brother departments, or perform in people's communes in the countryside.

All these performances are basically free for the factory and generate no income.

Only those who work in specific operations, such as movie projectionists, cabaret actors, singers, etc., can make some extra money privately when they go to the countryside to show movies or perform in the countryside.

There are also hospitals. Factory-run hospitals provide free medical treatment to factory workers, and medicines are cheaper than outside. They are basically purchased at the purchase price. However, the factory is responsible for all water and electricity bills, salaries of doctors and nurses, etc., which means it cannot make ends meet for a long time.

Not to mention schools.

The tertiary industry is not only large in number and expenditure, but also has many people and many things to do.

If the tertiary industry can be packaged and divested and its finances become independent, then Hongguang Machinery Factory can definitely pack up and start over.

Anyway, from the perspective of Director Li and Secretary Dong, the tertiary industry in the factory is a burden, and it would be best to get rid of it as soon as possible.

But they don't know that in Cao Zhiqiang's eyes, these burdens are just golden money and a bright future.

Even for hospitals and schools with the least hope of making money, the land below is greedy enough!

This is all within the third ring road!

Not to mention, schools and hospitals at this time still have their own special rights.

For example, a school can open a school to run a factory, while a hospital can build a medical school.

These powers will be extremely difficult to pass in the future.

But here, they can really open and do whatever they want, and there is basically no supervision.
