Chapter 28 From a Planned Economy to a Market Economy
The boiling water has been boiled, Niu Dazhuang is using a gourd scoop to pour boiling water on the pig, and Niu Daping is holding an iron planer for shaving pig hair, scraping vigorously on the pigskin that has been drenched with boiling water. The black pig hair, along with the outermost cuticle, was scraped off by him, revealing a smooth undercute, which looked like a person who hadn't bathed in a hundred years was rubbing mud.
When Niu Xiaoqiang was looking at it, the thief trio leaned over, and Niu Xiaodong lowered his voice and said: "Brother Qiang, it's really yours, it turns out that the favor you asked us to help was to catch wild boars." ”
This is the best sentence Niu Xiaoqiang heard tonight, he straightened his chest: "Now you know how good I am, right?"
Niu Xiaodong used to look down on Niu Xiaoqiang, and always felt that the other party was a fool and was inferior to himself, even if Niu Xiaoqiang had changed, the inertial thinking he formed still failed to reverse. After hearing about Niu Xiaoqiang's capture of wild boars, he was sure that the fool before had really become smarter, and if he still looked at him as a fool, it would be unacceptable.
The children in the mountains have a more simple and straightforward personality, what should be the case, Niu Xiaodong has now regarded Niu Xiaoqiang as an equal existence, he gave a thumbs up and said: "Of course, you are much better than me, if it were me, I couldn't think of such a good way." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang was worried that he would be involved in the problem of breeding, so he hurriedly coughed twice and smiled modestly: "Generally, it is not as powerful as you say." ”
Niu Xiaoyong licked his lips: "It's already very powerful, if it weren't for you, we'd just be afraid that we wouldn't be able to eat pork until the New Year." ”
Niu Huahua didn't speak, and her eyes looked at Niu Xiaoqiang a little strangely. Niu Xiaoqiang was quite puzzled by this: What's wrong with Xiaohua, why are you looking at me like this?
Niu Huahua's thoughts at the moment are like this: Xiaoqiang seems to have changed his temper, my father shouldn't really let me marry him, right?
The more the pig was killed, the more bloody and terrifying, when the pig's head was chopped off, Niu Xiaoqiang was not too afraid, when the wild boar was disemboweled, revealing the internal organs and intestines, he suddenly felt disgusted and afraid, did not dare to look again, turned around and walked into the back room. Before entering the house, Niu Xiaoqiang quietly told the eldest sister that she must grab more meat.
"It's not half past ten, I'll read a book for a while before I go to sleep." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang took out a newspaper from the snakeskin bag and sat under the dim kerosene lamp to look through it.
Niujia Village borrowed the light from the arsenal, and this was only then connected to electricity. But in general, villagers still prefer to use kerosene lamps for lighting. This is not to say that the villagers do not accept electric lights, but they want to save money on electricity bills.
This is a copy of the "Workers' Daily", after Niu Xiaoqiang laid out the newspaper, a bold and enlarged black headline immediately caught my eye: "The transformation from a small fishing village to an economic bridgehead", and there was a line of small words below the title: "Shenzhen's economic development has brought us enlightenment".
This article mainly talks about the amazing achievements made by the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the past two years since its establishment, especially in attracting investment, both in terms of scale and actual utilization rate of foreign capital.
Shenzhen is too far away from Niu Xiaoqiang, and he doesn't have the slightest intuitive impression of the city, so he just skimmed it roughly, and Niu Xiaoqiang turned to the second page.
The second page instantly attracted his strong interest, there was a photo on it, which was a panorama of the entire SZ urban area, Niu Xiaoqiang stared at the few high-rise buildings in the photo, and stayed for a while before exclaiming: "What a style......"
Young people like fantasy more, and Niu Xiaoqiang soon fantasized that if he could live in such a magnificent high-rise building, it would be more stylish.
"The rapid transformation of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone tells us that it is not possible to cling to the old ways, only by adhering to the road of reform and opening up, the Chinese people can have a future, since we can turn a small fishing village into a prosperous metropolis, then we can make the same changes happen in other parts of the country!"
Niu Xiaoqiang looked at the small words below the photo, and said in his heart: Niujia Village is completely a place where birds don't, and I don't know when we can vigorously develop economic construction like Shenzhen?
Looking back, another newsletter caught Niu Xiaoqiang's attention. The headline of the newsletter reads: "How to resolve the dilemma faced by domestic enterprises?"
Because the arsenal encountered business difficulties some time ago, Niu Xiaoqiang was very interested in this report, and he studied it carefully.
Although China in 1981 had been engaged in reform and opening up for more than two years, in fact it was still in a very backward stage, and the results of reform and opening up did not have much positive guidance for many domestic enterprises, and many large state-owned enterprises were still operating with the old ideas, and they did not have a completely new understanding of the market economy.
Due to historical reasons, China has been implementing a quota system for a long time, which is the so-called planned economy. Every citizen has clear regulations on all kinds of consumables every month, such as grain, pork, cloth for making clothes, cooking oil, etc., all of which are supplied by ticket, and it is difficult for you to buy these things even if you have money in your hand without a supply ticket.
At that time, the state-owned enterprises were completely "the emperor's daughter did not worry about marrying". Due to the shortage of raw materials, all kinds of goods they produce can be said to be in short supply, and there is no need to worry about no market at all, and they can basically sell as much as they produce. In this case, the quality of the product and the service attitude naturally form a lag.
With the gradual transformation of the economic system from a planned economy to a market economy, the situation in the country has changed. Some enterprising, energetic, and far-sighted people, through their own hard work, step by step from family workshops to small factories, quietly encroached on the position of state-owned enterprises.
There are also some people who find another way, they do not participate in specific production things, but through the way of commodity wholesale, import the urgently needed materials from abroad and resell them at home, and the Sanyo that Niu Xiaogang took home entered the country in this way. Traders can earn several times or even dozens of times the profit just by turning a hand!
These ongoing changes have inevitably had an impact on domestic enterprises, but unfortunately this negative impact has been ignored by the vast majority of enterprises. They have been holding iron rice bowls for a long time, and they are still living in the dream of planned economy, and they do not realize that their iron rice bowls have rusted and will soon be unable to eat.
The problems encountered by enterprises producing civilian products are not too serious at present, because the demand for daily commodities by the domestic people is still very large, and there is not much decline for the time being. The ones that are really affected are the heavy industry enterprises, such as the arsenal not too far from Niujia Village, which is a microcosm.
