The little girl suddenly saw Luo Xuan holding a large bag of gifts in his hand.
Her little mouth suddenly pursed, "My grandpa said that if guests come to visit us to discuss things, they are welcome in our family.
But if you came here to give gifts, then I’m sorry, brother, please come back, our family doesn’t accept gifts.”
The little girl smiled very brightly.
Just as Luo Xuan was about to speak, he heard an old woman's voice: "Ruonan, call me uncle. These are your uncle Luo's gifts. You can accept them. The more, the better! Even if you pull a car over, we will accept them all."
Director Liao's lover walked over closely behind her granddaughter, "Luo Xuan! You haven't changed after so many years?"
Luo Xuan chuckled, "Hello, aunt! After so many years, I see that you are getting younger and younger as you live."
"Nonsense! The longer I live, the younger I get, so wouldn't I become an old witch?"
Director Liao's wife scolded, "Not old yet? My granddaughter is already in the third grade of elementary school. Come on, come in and talk. Your uncle Liao is having breakfast. Corn gnocchi and lard fried sauerkraut are very appetizing! Luo Xuan, please come in and have some as well.
.”
Close or not, I’m from my hometown.
Director Liao's lover is still as enthusiastic as before and has no pretensions, which is great.
Wait until Luo Xuan entered the main room.
The granddaughter of Director Liao's family asked very playfully, "Grandpa, didn't you say that you can't accept the gifts from everyone, no matter how big or small? You also said that a thousand-foot embankment will collapse in an ant nest."
Director Liao quickly put down the bowl in his hand and touched his granddaughter's little head lovingly, "Yes, grandpa said so. But your Uncle Luo is different. No matter how many gifts he sends, I will accept them."
Because, when others come to give gifts, they have a purpose. But your Uncle Luo is different. He will not ask me to do things for him. Instead, it is your grandpa, and he even asks your Uncle Luo for help from time to time!"
After saying a few polite words, Luo Xuan sat down and drank a bowl of corn lake with Director Liao.
After everyone in his family wisely avoided it, Luo Xuan began to discuss business with Director Liao.
"Continue to expand the central health center, central primary school, upgrade junior high school and Hongxing High School?"
Director Liao was surprised, "Our Central Health Center of Hongxing Commune is already one of the best in the surrounding counties and cities in terms of scale and medical equipment. If we continue to expand the capacity, will we re-employ some retired doctors with high salaries to come and provide medical treatment?"
What a waste of resources?"
"It will not waste resources. It will only improve better medical and educational services for the general public. At the same time, it will have a siphon effect on the surrounding high-quality students and some residents with better economic conditions."
Luo Xuan only talks about industrialization and can only analyze it from a positive direction to Director Liao.
"In the past, every commune ran a middle school, a primary school, and a central hospital. Their original intention was to serve the cadres, workers, and production team members of the commune."
"However, due to the objective conditions of the commune's financial resources and teaching staff, the technical level of each commune's central health center and central school is not too high, and they cannot afford too expensive equipment and teaching
Equipment, test equipment.”
"In short, generally speaking, it is in a scattered, chaotic and poor situation."
Luo Xuan explained, “What we need to do is to prioritize resources at the earliest and strive to improve the medical level of the Central Health Center and Central Hospital of Hongxing Commune and the educational level of the central school by several levels.
With better resources, we can attract better talents. On the other hand, with better and more talents, hospitals and schools can achieve healthy development."
"Oh okay"
Director Liao was silent.
In fact, Director Liao also vaguely noticed something in his heart: the county hospital was overcrowded, and many patients would rather wait in long lines to go to the county for medical treatment than stay in the commune health center.
At the Hongxing Commune Central Health Center, the situation is much better.
As for the central health centers in other towns and villages, their medical equipment is very backward, and most of them are old equipment that have been eliminated from county-level hospitals.
In addition, there are relatively few patients willing to come to the central health center for treatment every year.
As for those doctors who have ideals and pursuits, they can't find a few typical and representative patients all year round for them to observe and treat.
For medical skills, the accumulation of clinical experience is very important.
No matter how outstanding or good the medical school graduates are, once they are assigned to rural health centers at the commune level, it will be difficult for their medical technology to be effectively improved.
There are few patients and the technical level of doctors cannot be effectively improved.
On the other hand, backward medical technology and equipment will also cause patients to prefer to spend more money and energy to go to large hospitals in counties and cities.
Overall, this will cause a waste of medical resources.
At the same time, it will also require a lot of energy, manpower and material resources from the patients’ families.
so
Director Liao finally slapped his thigh and said, "Fuck!"
"But the question is, where is the money?"
I saw Director Liao spreading his hands, "In the past two years, the commune has used measures to improve transportation, water conservancy and irrigation, renovate the appearance of the streets, improve the living environment, and suppress the reproduction of rats and flies.
Allocate funds to improve medical conditions, expand the inpatient department of the central health center, purchase various advanced medical instruments and medical equipment to provide
To improve the education level, expand school teaching buildings, and rehire excellent teachers with high salaries, it is really a waste of money."
Director Liao sighed, "Others think that our Hongxing Commune is extremely rich. In fact, when ordinary people open their eyes, they only have oil, salt, firewood, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea.
As the director of a commune, why don’t I worry about funds every day? The income of our Red Star Commune is indeed much better than that of other communes.
But the problem is, we have a lot of money to spend! I can’t be like them and always make apportionments to the members of the production team and the faculty and staff in the school, right?”
During this period, employees in many units usually deducted RMB 3 or RMB 5 from their monthly wages to support various construction projects.
This made everyone's already tight wallet even more constrained.
This kind of thing happens very often, but Red Star Commune has never taken such measures.
Luo Xuan came up with an idea: "Establish a factory!"
Luo Xuan has communicated with Director Zhong in the county many times, and now the county is interested in investing in the construction of textile factories, silk reeling factories, weaving factories, printing and dyeing factories and other enterprises.
These are all industries that require relatively large investments and relatively slow results.
Investing in these enterprises in the county will definitely mobilize much more resources than a commune can.
Director Zhong's perspective and starting point when considering the problem are different: what they are considering is how to place more and more urban labor forces; how to use these factories to drive other related industries upstream and downstream.
As long as the idle labor force in society can be settled, this is a great merit.
As for investing so much money and opening so many factories and mines, can we see immediate returns?
These dumping items are not Director Zhong's first priority.
The leaders of the county and the leaders of the commune are in different positions, and their starting points for looking at any issue are definitely different.
Director Zhong needs to consider the overall situation of Rongwei County, which is equivalent to "face". He needs to consider social benefits.
Director Liao only needs the "point" of Red Star Commune and is thinking about how to make quick money.
Red Star Commune does not have that abundant funds. When it comes to investing in any industry, it needs to see quick returns and withdraw funds quickly.
In the end, Director Liao and Luo Xuan reached a consensus: to set up a factory to make money, and then use the money earned to invest in medical care and education.
This is equivalent to planting a phoenix tree: with a good educational environment and medical environment, there will be no need to worry about recruiting outstanding talents in all aspects in the future.
Now that a preliminary consensus has been reached, the next question is easy to discuss: What kind of factory to set up? How to raise funds to set up the factory?
First of all, if you want quick returns, you should open a garment processing factory. This kind of factory will yield results faster than investing in a new machinery factory or the like.
It can also solve the employment problems of many young female workers.
Now there is one question left: Where does the money to set up a garment processing factory come from?
"The Zhengxing Brigade is willing to take a stake."
Luo Xuan reminded Director Liao, "As for the composition and source of the funds of the Zhengxing Brigade, the commune does not need to ask. Only in this way can we dispel their concerns and they will be willing to spend the money to support us."
Construction work in the commune.”
When Director Liao heard this, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand!
Then he looked at Luo Xuan meaningfully and said nothing.
Luo Xuan also looked straight back, remaining silent as well.
Director Liao himself was promoted from the position of captain of the Zhengxing Brigade to the position of director of the commune.
The Zhengxing Brigade is rich!
Director Liao knows this.
But Director Liao knows better: the money in the collective accounts of Zhengxing Brigade is not enough to account for 49% of the shares in a garment processing factory with a total investment expected to reach 1 million yuan!
The Zhengxing Brigade is indeed rich, but in recent years they have invested in slaughterhouses and meat processing plants, engaged in large-scale breeding, built agricultural irrigation canals, built small reservoirs and small hydropower stations, built large-scale reservoirs on mountaintops, and purchased agricultural machinery.
The Zhengxing Brigade has done a lot of infrastructure construction and distributed a lot of welfare. The expenditures in all aspects are really too large.
Don’t say anything else,
Let’s just say that the money Zhengxing Brigade has spent on fixed investment over the years has not necessarily fully recovered its capital.
Even if we see some benefits, we still have to pay dividends to the members of the production team and repay the credit union loans and interest.
They say that a big family has a big business, but why don’t they say that the expenses are also big?
No matter how rich the Zhengxing Brigade is, it has built nursing homes in recent years, given preferential treatment to households with five guarantees, subsidized stationery for all school-age children in the brigade, subsidized meals for students, and made donations from time to time to support other brother production brigades.
Do you do these things for free?
Therefore, just now Luo Xuan proposed that the Zhengxing Brigade should invest and account for nearly half of the shares of the garment processing factory.
Director Liao could vaguely think: Among this share capital, the money in the collective accounts of the Zhengxing Brigade probably does not account for a large proportion.
More, I'm afraid Luo Xuan went to find someone and raised it privately.
The real purpose of Luo Xuan's doing this is to facilitate the private money in the hands of some people to appear as a "collective asset" under the background that private participation in economic activities is not allowed.
"If I mean what if."
Director Liao and Luo Xuan looked at each other meaningfully for a long time.
Luo Xuan finally spoke, "I mean, if Red Star Commune doesn't have the will in this regard.
It is not ruled out that the Zhengxing Brigade may mobilize members to raise funds to expand their brigade clinic and carry out a series of medical activities in the name of the village collective clinic.
There is another possibility, that is, our team will do it ourselves."
to be honest,
The spare funds in the collective accounts of Zhengxing Brigade may not be particularly abundant, but almost all members of other production teams have some money saved at home.
After so many years, they usually receive salary and receive dividends at the end of the year.
Therefore, the members of the Zhengxing Brigade have more or less saved some money at home.
If Luo Xuan returned to the production team and shouted, if he couldn't protect all the members, he would really come to raise funds enthusiastically.
Just because so many years of practice have proven that it is impossible to say that Luo Xuan can make money in any industry he has set his sights on!
So Liao Xianming quickly interrupted Luo Xuan: "You are planning to ask the Zhengxing Brigade to mobilize the cadres and members to actively raise funds to open a village collective clothing processing factory, right?"
Director Liao interrupted Luo Xuan with a half-smile, "Get rid of the Red Star Commune, open a business in the name of the village collective, and expand the clinic to become a general hospital. Is that what you mean?"
Luo Xuan nodded and did not deny this.
During this period, private individuals were not allowed to participate in larger economic activities, but it is now almost 70 years.
With the promotion of high-yield hybrid rice and the increase in the output of various chemical fertilizers, the food problem has been basically solved.
Now that there is no such shortage of food, everyone's pursuit of quality of life will be appropriately improved.
Therefore, during this period, economic restrictions were actually not as strict as before.
Like going around the streets to exchange chicken feathers for sugar, sharpening scissors and cutting knives, mending pots and enamel basins, or making some sweet potato candies for sale personally, as long as you don't make it a big deal.
That's still no problem
But these small transactions are unlikely to make much of a commotion, right?
Coupled with the ubiquitous and omnipotent supply and marketing system, it also has shortcomings: no supply and marketing cooperative can carry out business such as repairing iron pots and repairing enamel basins.
Therefore, the higher authorities allow private individuals to engage in these things in order to meet the various living needs of the masses.
Even residents in cities and towns who have nothing to do at home will sell gardenia water, saccharin boiled water, and ice powder cold cake on the street when they go to the market to earn 3 cents or 5 cents to supplement their family income.
Although these small stalls are not open to the public, they are allowed to set up secretly.
The local street office and even the commune actually don't care about these nonsense.
Everyone's living standards are improving to some extent. If the management is tighter, it will only create more hidden economies.
Just like the current pigeon market, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the various commodities on sale are becoming more and more abundant.
