Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"Not long ago, the county held a meeting, which stated that all collective enterprises with this type of capital raising can be run in two ways. The first is to treat the capital raised as a loan, with interest calculated based on the same level of bank loans. The goal is to repay all the capital raised within three to five years. Then, the enterprise will still be collectively owned, and the profits earned will be at the collective's disposal."

"The second option is to convert the company into a private enterprise. The raised funds will still be considered loans, and the interest rate will be calculated according to the same bank loan level. After all the raised funds have been repaid, we can consider selling the company to a private individual. The proceeds from the sale will be distributed in proportion to the amount of funds raised."

"But both of these solutions are just stopgap measures, not particularly good ones."

When the three provincial leaders heard this, they all had a headache.

This is really a new problem.

Han Keying couldn't help but ask, "How come all of a sudden, so many cadres and workers spontaneously raised funds to build a factory?"

Liu Hongyi said: "There is money to be made."

"To be honest with the governor, at this stage, as long as the factory is established, no matter what kind of products are produced, as long as the quality is acceptable and the price is reasonable, there will be a market."

"It was because everyone saw this potential that they spontaneously raised funds to build factories and start companies."

"Now many factories have begun to make profits."

Tai Zhengyang and the other two looked at each other.

"This is truly a new problem for veteran revolutionaries... We used to worry about people's lack of ideological liberation and their lack of ambition. But now, with what you Zhuang'an are doing, new problems have arisen. Cadres and workers collectively setting up factories and companies is something that shouldn't be allowed."

Tai Zhengyang said thoughtfully.

Han Keying nodded in agreement. "It really shouldn't be allowed. It would cause chaos. Right now, everyone is still making money from outside sources, but in the future, there's no guarantee that they won't abuse their power to make money."

Fang Zimu said, "But if we forcibly ban it, won't it dampen everyone's enthusiasm?"

It is rare to see such a lively scene in Zhuang'an. If a document is issued and a one-size-fits-all approach is taken, the enthusiasm will definitely be dampened.

Tai Zhengyang thought for a moment and said, "Hongyi, your county should issue a document prohibiting this kind of behavior from now on. Cadres and employees are not allowed to raise funds to start factories or companies on their own. If they really want to do this, let them resign and do it."

"As for those that have already been established, I think your county should find a way to nationalize them as soon as possible. You can try the two methods you just mentioned. In short, cadres should not be allowed to open their own companies."

“That’s the principle.”

"Comrade Keying's concern is justified. Cadres have power in their hands. After a long time, once they have tasted the sweetness of power, they will inevitably use it to make money."

"We must be vigilant and take precautions."

"We must nip this trend in the bud now, before it becomes too late."

"We are a socialist country, and we cannot abandon the principle of public ownership."

"Okay, Secretary Tai, I will implement your instructions immediately."

In public, Liu Hongyi has always been very well-behaved.

As a prophet, Liu Hongyi had the clearest idea of ​​how to handle this situation. However, he shared Fang Zimu's concerns: a forced ban would dampen everyone's enthusiasm for entrepreneurship.

It was only 1982, and many parts of the country were still struggling to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Zhuang An was the same last year.

In just a few months, the enthusiasm of county cadres and workers was successfully mobilized, which was a significant progress in terms of ideological emancipation. The "one-size-fits-all" approach proposed by him, the instigator, was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Now that the First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee has given clear instructions, things will be easy.

Liu Hongyi can use the tiger's skin as a banner without having to worry about the county officials pointing their "spearhead" at him.

Of course, Liu Hongyi would not let his comrades suffer losses in the factories and companies that were set up by spontaneous fundraising. Even if they were to be nationalized or converted into private enterprises, he would not "steal" other people's money.
