Chapter 204, casual chat

"Boss Rong, let me say something first. If we discuss serious matters today, we must use Lao Ma's residual value theory as the basis for discussion. With this as the premise, the chat is more compatible. What do you think?"

"Mr. Tang, I have indeed read some of Marx's books, but if we two billionaires talk about this, wouldn't it be dead in two sentences?"

Tang Hua and Rong Yiren drank tea in Wuxi, and when they said goodbye, they made an appointment to meet in Shanghai next year.Then Boss Rong's whole family came to Shanghai to visit Tang Hua after the Lantern Festival.

Not long after liberation, Mayor Chen was specially invited to have a family dinner at the Rong family in order to reassure the Rong family.At the dinner table, Mayor Chen was chatting and laughing happily, chatting about family affairs. Although major national affairs were not mentioned, the presence of Chen Yi and his family at the banquet was a gesture in itself, and that was enough.

Today's family banquet... In fact, Tang Hua has no control over Shanghai's textile industry, so Tang Hua thinks that Boss Rong's coming here to chat is not hugging his thigh, but he still wants to find out. In 49, Mayor Chen gave the national capital of Shanghai a reassurance—as long as you abide by the law, the state will not raid your home.But this is now, what about the future?What will happen in three or five years?

But in theory, Tang Hua doesn't know anything now.So today is just a chat.The cooks for the family banquet were the same as last time, the three Mo brothers from Huaiyang were invited.

Tang Hua: "So the conclusions drawn from thinking about the problem from my perspective are more meaningful for the things you are struggling with now."

Rong Yiren: "If you agree with the theory of surplus value, then there is nothing to say. My net worth of more than 2000 billion comes from the labor of spinners, flour workers, and factory workers. I only give them a living I put the surplus value created by them in my pocket. Then in a socialist society, where the people are the masters of the country, I should hand over this [-] billion business empire to the state, because the surplus value itself belongs to the people.”

Tang Hua: "Let's talk about the past first... For example, ten years ago, when you only owned Shenxin No. [-] Factory and Shenxin No. [-] Factory. After you took the money earned by these two factories, you went to what for?"

Rong Yiren: "The living expenses of a big family, repaying the loan, opening a new factory."

Tang Hua: "In short, in the past 10 years, you have taken the surplus value of the textile workers in Shenxin No. 3 Factory and Shenxin No. 4 Factory into your own hands, allocated part of your own living expenses, and distributed part of the surplus value to the bank—in fact, the bank Is another capitalist who shares the surplus value of workers with you, and in addition, you have Shenxin 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, [-], [-] factories in your name. Well, Shenxin is just a spinning mill in your name serial number... Then, a state-owned enterprise such as the current Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., whose workers are working and creating value, how will Anshan Iron and Steel develop with the labor of the workers?"

Rong Yiren: "Angang Steel. Now the country's industrialization level is very low, and the steel industry will definitely develop vigorously in the future. Anshan Iron and Steel will build new blast furnaces and continue to expand steel production. So...you mean, the surplus value of Anshan Iron and Steel workers is also Isn’t it all distributed to the workers?”

Tang Hua: "Yes, and no. If you only look at the individual worker, wages are only part of the value he creates, and the other part is taken away by the state. But on the whole, the state takes the surplus from the worker. The value will be used for other workers or farmers. For example, the country now has Anshan Iron and Steel, and in the future it will build Wuhan Iron and Steel Company, as well as Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Zhengzhou... may all build modern steel enterprises Even Anshan Iron and Steel itself, as you just said, will build new blast furnaces. The steel workers themselves cannot directly enjoy the money spent on these places. After all, the blast furnace cannot be eaten or worn, and the workers may not even know where Wuhan Iron and Steel is. But when a steel plant is built, tens of thousands of peasants will become workers, and each of them will obtain more means of production and create greater value.”

Rong Yiren: "In this way, I changed Shenxin from one factory to nine factories. In fact, I have the same development idea as the country's state-owned enterprises?"

Tang Hua: "If an industry still has room for development, capitalists will do their best to put the surplus value into expanded reproduction. And you can really compare directly with the country. For example, if you earn 1 million yuan, 8000 Wan is used to expand production, and 2000 million is used for living expenses, then your expanded reproduction rate is 80%, and if your family employs two fewer servants, it may be increased to 85%."

Rong Yiren: "So the country?"

Tang Hua: "There will be waste and wastage in the country. Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan were shot a few days ago. You should know... There is no such thing as zero people in the country. We can only say that we should try to find one and catch one. The wealth that these rats stripped away was less than a proportional value. Besides, there was redundancies, overstaffing, bureaucracy, formalism, . . . "

Rong Yiren's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found a breakthrough point: "What if the surplus value is in my hands, and my efficiency in using them is higher than that of the state?"

Tang Hua: "Then the country will allow this kind of private economy to exist. If private companies use most of their funds for domestic expansion and reproduction, they will also increase the country's industrialization rate; the surplus value will be wasted less in your hands. , which in turn can stimulate state-owned enterprises to improve themselves and improve efficiency. But at that time, it means that your money is not yours, and you cannot spend it completely freely. Earning 500 million yuan a month is the happiest, but earning 50 billion yuan is uncomfortable, this money is no longer yours, you can’t spend it, and you have to do things after you get it back.”

Rong Yiren laughed out loud.After laughing, he said: "If China's future looks like this, it may be an ideal society."

Tang Hua also laughed, but didn't reply.

"I am not a man of extravagance, I have the ideal of being an entrepreneur." Rong Yiren said, "This ideal is just like what you said just now, to make the factory the best, the highest efficiency, and the largest scale of industrial expansion. Fast, and I can make my workers' wages not lower than the level of state-owned enterprises."

Tang Hua: "I'm talking about a long-term ideal. If we work hard in this direction, this kind of society may appear in a few decades; if we work hard, it may appear in 30 to [-] years. But not now. Now, private business owners should still hand over all their industries to the state."

Rong Yiren: ...

What does it mean to draw such a beautiful blueprint, and then return to the original point in one sentence.

Tang Hua: "Because the power of the state is still too weak. Only when state-owned assets occupy an absolute dominant position can private enterprises follow the pace of the state. This dominant position does not refer to the ratio of the total capital of state-owned enterprises to private enterprises, but absolute Advantages. State-owned enterprises must be at the forefront of technology, and must be able to directly or indirectly provide employment for half of the country's working population—not tens of millions of workers, but hundreds of millions of working people, and there is still room for expansion. In addition, The state must also have strong controls, at least to prevent large private business owners from moving assets abroad."

The person who said the above sentence "millions, billions" has knowledge and reason telling him it is right, but his emotion makes him feel uncomfortable.Maybe occasionally, in private, his emotions would trump his reason, but it didn't work.If you are not rational, the state will make you rational.

Rong Yiren: "So now the country needs to take all the private economy and national capital into the state, and then let the state-owned enterprises continue to develop rapidly. After a few decades, the country will realize basic industrialization and the state-owned enterprises will occupy an absolute dominant position. At that time The private economy can be revived, and the state-owned economy and the private economy form a complementary and mutually reinforcing relationship?"

Tang Hua: "There may be some industries that are more suitable for the private economy, and they will be slightly ahead... But generally speaking, the process should be similar."

Rong Yiren leaned back on the chair back silently, his eyes seemed to pass through a long time tunnel, seeing himself with gray hair and China at that time.

Tang Hua: "Today is too serious... I can't help but talk about serious things as soon as I talk about it. It is Mayor Chen who knows how to adjust the atmosphere. Seeing that we have chatted for so long, my sister-in-law and Zhijian have already left the table Yes. Let's go too."

……

After leaving the dinner, Zhou Xuan coaxed Tang Hancheng to sleep and handed it over to the nanny. The two families continued to sit and chat in the living room of Tang Hua Mansion.Tang Hua took out his camera, and Rong Yiren, who is also a camera enthusiast, found a common topic.

"Leica IIIB? I have one too."

Tang Hua: "I have both Leica IIIA and IIIB. The 1/1000 shutter of IIIA is easy to use, but the film used with it is quite expensive. In fact, I still have IIIC, but I stay in Beijing."

Rong Yiren: "What do you think of the Hasselblad 1600F?"

Tang Hua: "I've heard of it, but this product is limited in production, so I haven't bought it."

Rong Yiren: "I will bring you one station later. Last year, I asked my relatives to bring back two stations from abroad."

"Then I will exchange it with you with a mysterious gift."

While chatting, the two put on the film tripod and took a group photo.

"You have quite a complete set of lenses for shooting night scenes."

Tang Hua was very happy to see Rong Yiren adjust the focus and shutter, he laughed: "Mr. Rong will not plan to play with cameras and sports cars in the future, let's play for 30 years."

Rong Yiren: "Well...Mr. Tang's things are more elegant than mine...I mean, the things you love to play happen to be something that the country also dreams of, which I can't compare to."

Tang Hua: "You are too self-effacing. Everyone has more than one or two hobbies. For some hobbies, you and I are even the same as most people. For example, I don't like traveling from Shanghai to Beijing. If you want to transfer to the train and ferry, can you drive to Beijing in one go while taking the train? If it can be done, then everyone will like it very much.”

Rong Yiren: "The Yangtze River Bridge... If there is such a thing, then I really like it."

Tang Hua: "If the train was faster, it would take only five hours instead of two days from Shanghai to Beijing, and half an hour from Shanghai to your hometown Wuxi. You should like it too."

Rong Yiren: "That's right, maybe instead of taking the train, a straight highway like in Germany can allow a car to drive home from Shanghai at a speed of 80 miles, which is also very fun."

Tang Hua: "If the Chinese factories spin their own yarn, weave their own fabrics, design and cut their own clothes, make them into ready-made clothes, pack them into containers, and ship the containers to land ten thousand miles away, then the The sum of production cost plus freight is still lower than the production cost of a local garment factory [-] miles away, isn’t that more fun?”

"You think the textile industry is also your electronics industry?" Rong Yiren turned his head and retorted in a low voice, "Do you think I don't want to do this, but frankly speaking, if China and Europe and the United States suddenly resume free trade now, and If there are no high tariffs, then our textile industry will be washed away instead of the other way around."

"In the past, electronic technology was not crushed by the West, but now...? Moreover, I can provide some help with the progress of the textile industry," Tang Hua said, "Ministry of Electronics and Information Industry. This can improve textile technology to a certain extent. Machinery The Ministry of Industry can provide domestically produced cheaper and better working machines for the textile industry. If everyone takes action, maybe in ten or eight years, that kind of thing can really be done.”

Chapter 205, From Daye to Wuchang

During the period of the first month, the most sad reminder from the Electronic Information Industry Bureau was probably the team sent by Hangzhou Radar to "wipe the ass" of the shipboard radar failure.

At first, it was thought to be a problem with the radar servo motor. The radar team inspected the fault on site and found that it was not that simple. It was not that the radar was not stable, but that the change in the motor speed did not follow the control instructions, resulting in the loss of the tracking target.The radar team dismantled the shipboard radar into eight pieces on the spot, and asked Hangzhou to transport the parts to Shanghai. After about 10 days of tossing, they reassembled it and turned it on again, and the screen went black.

I started to find the root cause of the radar failure from the beginning, and finally disassembled the radar control box, only to find that three or four capacitors inside had exploded. This is because I have been working at the seaside for a long time, and the radar components are finished in a high-humidity and high-salinity environment.

Under the guidance of Tang Hua over the phone, the radar team redid the radar case and sealed it completely, leaving only a small hole with air dehumidification for gas exchange. Drain out of box.Looking at the radar team busy on the ship and the pier, Tang Hua felt that Commander Gao of the East China Navy was really far-sighted. If the fault is found early, there will be more time for adjustment.

It seems that throughout February, the radar team has to troubleshoot and repair defects. After reinstalling in early March, it can go to sea for testing. Even if the test turns over again, the radar team still has enough time to troubleshoot again.

Tang Hua had nothing to do with the troubleshooting of radar failures. Apart from being at home during the Spring Festival, he worked with Lebedev on the third-generation supercomputer T52. Three cabinets, five monitors and a lot of accessories were loaded into three wagons and sent to the 2 center in Jiaohe.
