Chapter 100 Boldly speak out, even the humble can worry about the country (3rd
Peng Yuanzheng took a bath and slept in the guest room all morning. Song Yuzhen and her daughter started busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. Meng Lin couldn't help much because of his inconvenient legs and feet. After lunch, Feng Bolin, his wife, and
Feng Boxia and his wife both came over with their children, so they didn't want to talk to each other.
Feng Boxia, Song Yuzhen, and Zhang Lan were busy in the kitchen, while Peng Yuanzheng accompanied Feng Botao and Feng Bolin, and Zhao Ting was talking in the living room. As for Feng Yuanzheng, Feng Linlin, and Zhao Hainan, the young third generation, because of their respect for Peng
Yuan Zheng was not interested in the conversation between his two fathers, so he hid in the small living room and played the game console.
Not long after, Mr. and Mrs. Feng arrived, and everyone welcomed the two old men into the house. Then they sat down and started talking.
Feng Yuanzheng played games for a while and came out to see Peng Yuanzheng sitting in the living room chatting and laughing with his grandfather, uncle, third uncle, and uncle Zhao Ting. He couldn't help but be secretly jealous. He walked over silently and stood aside. After listening for a while, he was really surprised.
I felt like I couldn't get in the conversation, so I left angrily.
Mr. Feng was talking to his two sons, son-in-law and grandson about the recently hot topic of reform and opening up. For a long time, due to the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the domestic opposition was very vocal, including some senior leaders, who had doubts about reform and opening up.
, there is a lot of controversy. Although this controversy has recently ended due to the great man's speech during his southern tour, there are still some voices of doubt, but they are no longer a climate.
No matter in his past or present life, Peng Yuanzheng was an unswerving reformer.
Only through reform and opening up can the country find a way out, and closing the country to the outside world can only lead to a dead end. Although some problems have arisen in the process of reform and opening up, such as a rigid system, prostitution, income gaps, etc., the benefits of reform and opening up cannot be denied because of this.
Huge role. Without reform and opening up, there would be no economic development, and without economic development, the country would still be at a backward level. Even if everyone is eating from the "big pot", what's the use?
Moreover, fairness has always been a relative concept, and there is no absolute fairness in this world.
The key to the problem is how to face up to and effectively solve the new problems that arise during reform and opening up, ensure the healthy development of the market economy, and avoid the corruption of power. Of course, this is a grand subject and involves very sensitive topics. Peng Yuanzheng can only
He thought about it in his mind but did not dare to say it out loud. Even if he faced his grandfather, he would not dare.
This is a huge taboo and should never be touched.
Peng Yuanzheng explained his views in calm language, Mr. Feng nodded silently, while Feng Botao, Feng Bolin, and Zhao Ting remained silent.
"Grandpa, uncle, third uncle, and uncle, I think the biggest benefit of reform and opening up is to develop the economy and promote social progress. Social progress is not only reflected in the improvement of material life and the acceleration of urbanization, but also in people's
Compared with the rigidity and stiffness of people in the past few decades, this change is earth-shaking and revolutionary." Peng Yuanzheng said softly, "So I think that the benefits of reform and opening up outweigh the disadvantages, and problems should be solved when they arise.
, but we cannot deny or avoid the huge value of reform and opening up just because there are problems."
Peng Yuanzheng looked at Mr. Feng's expression, gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "Leave aside the system, no matter what political system and social system we adopt, reform, opening up, and economic development are the first priority. We cannot do it for the sake of
Protecting the system while denying reform and opening up is not a reason."
Feng Botao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Peng Yuanzheng, because he felt that Peng Yuanzheng's words were a bit bold.
If Peng Yuanzheng had not written articles that aroused the recognition of great men, Mr. Feng would definitely have rebuked him for his words, thinking that he was too arrogant to discuss state affairs at a young age. But with the previous foreshadowing, his words fell into the trap of Mr. Feng.
In my ears, although it is a bit bold, it is also insightful.
Mr. Feng raised his head and looked at Peng Yuanzheng, smiled, and suddenly said in a serious voice, "Yuanzheng, you have thoughts and care about the country's major policies. Grandpa is very happy. However, the national affairs are of great importance, and the whole body can be affected by one move.
It’s not as simple as you think. We old men are at the helm of the direction of the country, and all you young people need to do is to work hard. Do you understand what grandpa said?”
Peng Yuanzheng's heart froze, knowing that his grandfather did not want him to get too involved in "politics". After all, this was something that he, a small department-level cadre, could not control. It is a good thing for young people to care about national affairs, but
Therefore, too much boasting or pointing fingers can easily arouse taboos at some point and plunge oneself into a whirlpool that cannot be extricated.
In fact, the great man's views are not new now, but why they were elaborated on during the Southern Tour at this time is enough to show that this ideological confrontation is by no means limited to the public opinion level and the civil level.
Peng Yuanzheng took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I understand.
"I heard that you encountered an incident of laid-off workers blocking the road last night?" Mr. Feng took the initiative to change the topic and asked with a smile.
Hearing his grandfather mention this, Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, and then decided to try to talk to his grandfather about his views on the shortcomings of the current state-owned enterprise reform. You must know that the old man in front of him is not only his grandfather, but also the controller of the country's core power.
one.
If your bold words can attract the attention of the elderly, they will surely have subsequent consequences.
"Yes, grandpa. I was on the road when I encountered hundreds of people blocking the road. I had no choice but to go around in a circle and wasted a few hours." Peng Yuanzheng knew that the old man brought this up on his own initiative to get information.
Therefore, the old man could not continue to ask questions, so he said softly, "They are laid-off workers from a state-owned textile factory. I briefly learned about the situation. Most of the workers in this factory have been laid off, and there is no compensation because they are older.
It’s difficult to be self-employed, so we started a riot in the hope of attracting the government’s attention.”
Mr. Feng groaned, frowned and said, "The grassroots cadres have failed in their duties. Before the reform, these immediate problems of the employees should be considered in advance... They always wait until problems arise before they rush to deal with them. The central government gives repeated orders.
The reform of state-owned enterprises must be prudent and must serve the legitimate interests of the majority of employees, but underneath, some policies are still going out of shape.”
"But labor pains are coming, and state-owned enterprises cannot do without reform." Mr. Feng sighed. "It is well known that state-owned enterprises are overstaffed. I know that in such a state-owned enterprise, only 200 of the 1,000 employees are working on the front line, and the other 800 people are completely exhausted."

"In order to survive and develop, this state-owned enterprise underwent restructuring. After the restructuring, the 280 people who worked there were left, and the 720 parasites were bought out and laid off, becoming self-reliant workers. The enterprise was finally rejuvenated and regained its certain capabilities.
competitiveness.”
"Grandpa, I have a few words that I don't know whether to say or not." Peng Yuanzheng said softly.
Mr. Feng smiled and said, "You can tell me, this is at home. If you speak boldly, whether you are right or wrong, grandpa will not blame you."
"Grandpa, I think the reform of state-owned enterprises should not be carried out too hastily. When the new social security system has not yet been established and perfected, laying off a large number of employees blindly, unplanned, and unprepared will inevitably lead to various social problems. This is caused by the hasty reform of state-owned enterprises.
of."
"The purpose of restructuring state-owned enterprises is to adapt to the requirements of the socialist market economy and establish a modern enterprise system. The purpose is to solve the problem of enterprise development motivation. The focus is on the reform of the operating system and the construction of a modern corporate corporate governance structure. In fact, there is no need to lay off a large number of employees.
, On the surface, the effect of reducing staff and increasing efficiency is obvious, but in fact, the human cost of the company accounts for a very small part of the company's operating costs, which is almost negligible."
"Overstaffing is a common problem in state-owned enterprises, but the current problem is that some companies have replaced state-owned assets under the banner of reform, resulting in a large loss of state-owned assets. Most of the laid-off workers are older front-line workers... I hope the country can
Think more about fairness issues in the reform of state-owned enterprises, and at the same time, we must resolutely deal with illegal behaviors that cannibalize state-owned assets."
Regarding the reform of state-owned enterprises, Peng Yuanzheng has a deeper point of view, but he can't say it now. If he does, it will definitely cause a strong backlash from his grandfather. He can only follow his grandfather's words and mention the issue of laid-off workers at least to make the old man feel
A little thought is enough.
Mr. Feng remained silent. Regarding the reform of state-owned enterprises, the top management is not without controversy. But without reform, most state-owned enterprises will go bankrupt and close down, causing greater social unrest. As for the problems that have arisen in the reform of state-owned enterprises, the top management is also aware of them and is considering countermeasures.
.
It was impossible for Mr. Feng to discuss these in depth with Peng Yuanzheng. He smiled and said, "Yuanzheng, a large number of employees in state-owned enterprises have been laid off and state-owned assets have been lost. It is indeed worth thinking about. But when we look at the problem, we cannot simply analyze a company or several companies.
The situation of an individual enterprise or even a regional enterprise must be considered at the national level, with the idea of a national game of chess - in short, the reform of state-owned enterprises is a long-term behavior and a systematic project. The success or failure must be tested by history."
"As for you, you still have to concentrate on doing your own job well. Only by being down-to-earth can you climb step by step. It's unacceptable to aim too high."
"It's not trivial to speak lightly even if you are humble, you can worry about the country even if you are in a humble position." Peng Yuanzheng respectfully walked over and poured a glass of water for the old man, "Grandpa, what I said is wrong, don't be offended."
"Haha, grandpa doesn't blame you. Your idea is very good. You can consider these issues, which shows that you, a child, have a sense of the overall situation. It is a good thing to worry about the country and the people. Grandpa is happy. Okay, it is the Chinese New Year, so we will not talk about national affairs."
When Mr. Feng said this, he directly ended the family discussion on national affairs. In terms of his status and authority, it is rare and valuable to allow Peng Yuanzheng's grandson to "point fingers" and discuss national affairs in front of him.
This shows that he attaches great importance to Peng Yuanzheng and intends to cultivate him politically. Otherwise, even the younger generations such as Feng Botao and Zhao Ting would not dare to say anything in front of the old man.
Feng Bolin and Feng Botao laughed, "That's right, that's right, we don't talk about state affairs during the Chinese New Year. Dad, our family reunion today is of great significance. I borrowed a camera from the TV station to record a video, so as to keep a souvenir."
Mr. Feng nodded.
Today is indeed a memorable day for the Feng family. The so-called family reunion is due to the return of Peng Yuanzheng's mother and son, and the long-lost relatives are finally back. It is a pity that Peng Yuanzheng's father died young, otherwise what a happy ending this day would have been.
.
Mr. Feng felt depressed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Zhao Ting sat aside, his eyes swept over Peng Yuanzheng's face, and a hint of appreciation secretly flashed in his eyes.
He was in charge of the local government and felt the same way as Peng Yuanzheng's words. It's just that some things cannot be done according to his own preferences. People in officialdom cannot help themselves. This is the truth.
Peng Yuanzheng went to the kitchen to help Song Yuzhen and the others serve food. Mr. Feng sat in the living room and lowered his voice to Feng Botao, the eldest son who was accompanying him, "Bo Tao, Yuanzheng and Qianru, these two children..."
Although Mr. Feng did not finish what he said, Feng Botao understood what the old man meant.
He smiled and said, "Well, it's not bad, Dad. They get along very well."
Mr. Feng pondered for a moment, "If it doesn't work, just open it up. There is no problem with Qianru, it's mainly Yuanzheng. You ask Yuzhen to take the time to talk to Yuanzheng—"
Feng Botao was startled, then hesitantly said softly, "Dad, am I a little too hasty..."
"The children are getting older, and Yuan Zheng will soon reach the age of starting a family and starting a business. If you don't say anything, it will be even more difficult for the children to have someone outside." Mr. Feng said exactly what he said.
Even if it is an instruction, there are no exceptions at home.
Therefore, Feng Botao did not dare to refute and had no choice but to agree.
He knew that the old man was very concerned about the marriage of his eldest grandson. Almost no one could change the things that the old man was sure of.
Not long after, the women of the Feng family served a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
Naturally, Mr. and Mrs. Feng were invited to take their seats, and then they took their seats one by one in order of seniority and youngness, and started eating and watching CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.
…
…
The Spring Festival Gala is an indispensable entertainment feast for people of this era, but as a reborn person, Peng Yuanzheng is a bit boring. Not to mention the younger generations like Feng Yuanhua and Feng Linlin, even Mr. Feng is staring at the TV screen.
, sometimes laughing out loud for the wonderful programs.
The night was full of joy and speechlessness. When the clock struck midnight, this wealthy family in Beijing was no different from an ordinary family. The young people set off firecrackers and fireworks, while housewives like Song Yuzhen served steaming dumplings.
Peng Yuanzheng stood to one side and saw Mr. Feng standing in front of the balcony, staring at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, his expression focused and calm. He knew in his heart that at this moment, even in the joyful and peaceful atmosphere of family affection, the old man still could not forget
