Zhao Shucheng was very confident about this, because he had not only communicated with foreign businessmen these days, but also observed the products of woolen textile mills and woolen textile-related machinery and equipment in the Canton Fair.

Most of the machines and equipment in the current wool spinning mills in China are old products, and basically no upgrades have been made. Although they are still very competitive because of their low prices and good quality, they can only be reduced to low-end products.

Zhao Shucheng thought very clearly that only with the most advanced equipment can we produce the most advanced products and do high-end business.

Zhao Shucheng made up his mind to purchase the most advanced wool spinning machines this time, so that he could produce the best wool spinning products in one step and let Xiao Lei's products continue to be high-end.

However, Zhao Shucheng cannot decide the specific purchasing matters on his own now, because the use of foreign exchange is not such a simple matter in this era and requires approval.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng was also very confident about this. At least County Magistrate Xu would support Zhao Shucheng after knowing his idea. Zhao Shucheng had already planned in his mind where to build the factory and how to start it.

What Zhao Shucheng found regretful was that the Iran-Iraq War had already begun. There was a lot that could be done here, but since Xiao Lei's family lived in a rural area and did not have any enterprises such as steel mills, they had to miss this opportunity.

After Zhao Shucheng and his friends returned to Xiao Lei's home, they called a meeting of all the villagers to announce their gains and summarize the development of Xiao Lei's family during this period.

"Everyone, be quiet, I'm going to say a few words!"

"First, the bamboo weaving factory had a good harvest at the Canton Fair. In the future, the bamboo weaving factory will continue to receive foreign trade orders, and the Lei family will become richer and richer. Second, the brick factory and the prefabricated board factory have also begun to restore their previous prices and start to make profits."

"Third, our construction team has completed the housing planning for the village, and everyone can move into the new houses. The old houses will be demolished and replanned, with part of them used as farmland and part of them as the factory building for Xiao Lei's new factory. The construction team has also started to accept orders from outside, so they can start making money again!"

"Fourth, all of the people in the Lei family who raise Angora rabbits should know that we can sell as much rabbit hair as you can produce. In the future, the Lei family will build their own wool spinning mill to process rabbit hair directly in our local area, so even if the scale of Angora rabbit breeding in our village increases several times, we don't have to worry about sales."

"Fifth, all village-run enterprises in the future will be operated independently by the Lei family and will be responsible for their own profits and losses. The village will no longer subsidize production. If a company suffers serious losses, it will be closed directly and the workers will go to work in other companies."

"Finally, at the end of each year, the village-run enterprise distributes year-end bonuses to Xiao Lei's family, and the village distributes dividends so that everyone can have a prosperous year!"

"it is good!"

However, some individuals have doubts about what Zhao Shucheng said. After all, if each company is responsible for its own profits and losses in the future, they will definitely not be able to hold on if they encounter a price war again.

However, some companies support Zhao Shucheng's words. After all, no one wants the money they earn through hard work to be used to support other companies, leaving them with much less dividends.

Zhao Shucheng did not explain to them why he did this. In fact, subsidizing production itself is not a healthy production model. It was just that Xiao Lei's enterprise had poor risk resistance before, so Zhao Shucheng had to choose subsidies. But now that they have survived, they must train Xiao Lei's business competitiveness, otherwise they will not be able to survive sooner or later due to various reasons.

On this day, Zhao Shucheng was summarizing the income and expenditure of Xiao Lei's family in the team headquarters when he heard someone talking outside.

Zhao Shucheng went out and saw that it was County Magistrate Xu who came to Xiao Lei's house. He came to check on the business situation of Xiao Lei's family and happened to meet the old branch secretary, so they got together.

"County Magistrate Xu, why didn't you say hello to me before you came so that I could greet you?"

County Magistrate Xu smiled and said, "I just want to catch you off guard so that you can see the real situation. I came here just to see the five major industries of your Xiao Lei family. If you are willing, take me for a walk and we can talk while we walk."

"Okay, County Magistrate Xu, I'll show you around."

Zhao Shucheng took County Magistrate Xu around the village and talked about the current development of Xiao Lei's family.

County Magistrate Xu was very happy when he heard this and said, "Dongbao, I was right about you. You have led the Xiaolei family to develop well, especially these new houses. They are all small villas, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I guess so. After all, Xiao Lei's family is rich now, and we can't let the villagers live in the old house. But don't worry, it's all the team's share, and the villagers don't have to pay a penny."

As I was walking, I saw Song Yunhui who came to the village with the village tractor.

"Xiaohui, come here. This is our county's Chief Xu. He is a college student like you. Tell him whether you ranked first in the county when you took the college entrance examination."

Song Yunhui looked at County Magistrate Xu and said, "You are County Magistrate Xu. Hello, my name is Song Yunhui."

"Hello, I heard Dongbao mention you. You are a top student in our county."

Song Yunhui didn't know what politeness was, so he said, "County Magistrate Xu, I just happen to have something I want to ask you."

"you say!"

"It's like this. After I came back, I heard about the competition between our village-run enterprises and county-run enterprises some time ago. The Lei family was forced to resort to price wars to get through the difficult times. But in fact, both sides suffered certain economic losses in the process. The advantages we have gained at this stage are temporary. From a long-term perspective, as the scale of village-run enterprises expands, similar competition will occur in the future."

County Magistrate Xu nodded and said, "I just mentioned this issue to your brother-in-law."

Song Yunhui continued, "But the village-run enterprises are still expanding, and the planned and unplanned economies are constantly colliding at this stage. Based on past experience, if a solution is not found, it will suppress the development of the rural economy." "Yes!"

Zhao Shucheng said: "Xiaohui, you haven't graduated from college yet, so these problems are not something you should be considering. Moreover, you can't find a solution without relevant research and experience."

"But……"

"No buts. You just arrived in the village. Go find your sister. She is at the farm. Go quickly!"

County Magistrate Xu knew that Zhao Shucheng was trying to protect his brother-in-law, so he smiled and said, “Dongbao, let Xiao Song finish what he is saying. I think he has a lot to say, and he is very organized.”

Zhao Shucheng said, "Alas, County Magistrate Xu, he just thinks he has read a few more days and learned something in school, so he dares to make decisions. He has no idea about the actual situation."

"I think what he said makes sense, and this is also the problem we are facing now. Let him finish his words."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaohui, come back. County Magistrate Xu wants to hear your ideas."

"Xiao Song, you have raised all the problems. Do you have any solutions?"

Song Yunhui said: "Now that Xiaolei's family has set up a rabbit fur purchasing station, they have expanded and stabilized the rabbit fur purchasing business and extended it to big cities like Shanghai. I wonder if we can learn from the relevant experience and apply it to other fields, so that they can stand up and go out."

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, but didn't say anything.

County Magistrate Xu noticed Zhao Shucheng's disdainful expression and said, "Dongbao, if you have any different opinions, you can raise them."

Zhao Shucheng glanced at Song Yunhui and said, "Then let me briefly explain that although Xiaohui's method is feasible, it also faces practical obstacles. In other words, it simply won't work. Rabbit hair is an agricultural and sideline product, so it can be sold to places like Shanghai, but other products may not work."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke up: "Because of local protection policies, just like our Xiao Lei family's bricks and prefabricated panels, because each county or village has its own brick and tile factory and prefabricated panel factory, so in order to protect their local enterprises, the neighboring counties and cities adopt protection policies and refuse Xiao Lei's bricks and prefabricated panels to enter their market. So the way to go out, before this problem is solved, is not shown at all."

"But rabbit hair..." Song Yunhui wanted to say something unconvinced, but was stopped by Zhao Shucheng with a wave of his hand.

"Xiaohui, you are still too young. You have only learned some knowledge from books, but you have not put it into practice. Rabbit hair and agricultural products are only primary products, so the prices will not fluctuate too much, so they will not have much impact on enterprises in other counties and cities. However, enterprises such as brick and tile factories and prefabricated board factories are actually involved in the processing industry, which has a great impact on other regions and will affect local income and employment, so they will not just stand by and do nothing."

County Magistrate Xu looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Dongbao, if you have anything else to say, please say it all at once."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Xiaohui's idea is indeed good, but it is all based on a premise, that is, the market economy. The main body of the market economy is for personal interests. The premise of personal interests is to maximize the interests of the entire economy, which can promote the economic development of the entire society to a certain extent. We are now in a planned economy and an unplanned economy running in parallel, not a true market economy, so Xiaohui's idea is simply not feasible, at least not in the short term."

County Magistrate Xu nodded, looked at Song Yunhui who was still a little unconvinced, and said: "Yes, Dongbao is right. Although Xiaohui's idea is very good, the economy of each place has its own unique rules and tricks. When you really get a job in the future, you will slowly understand it."

In the evening, Zhao Shucheng and County Chief Xu were drinking and chatting in the team office.

"Dongbao, the Central Government's No. 1 document issued on January 1 this year made decisions on accelerating agricultural development, raising the purchase price of agricultural products, improving the agricultural production responsibility system, developing multiple operations, and other issues. A series of policy measures will be adopted to adjust and reform the rural economy, thereby stimulating the production enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of farmers and promoting the vigorous development of the rural economy."

"This document clearly states that the various responsibility systems currently implemented in rural areas, including fixed-quota remuneration, joint-factory contracting remuneration, household contracting, and household contracting, all belong to the production responsibility system of the socialist collective economy. No matter what form they take, they should not be changed unless the masses demand it."

Zhao Shucheng smiled after hearing this and said, "County Magistrate Xu, I feel much more relieved after hearing what you said. Although our Xiaolei family is now contracting production to each household, there are new changes now. An agricultural cooperative has been established in the village. Villagers use their land as shares, and there are special cooperative workers to cultivate the land. On the contrary, other people only enjoy dividends and do not have to cultivate the land themselves. They can spare time to work in the factory. This method should be okay, right?"

County Magistrate Xu was stunned when he heard this. He was originally wondering why, after he entered Xiao Lei's house, he saw that Xiao Lei's farmland was just a large piece with no dividing line at all. He thought it was a hidden dividing line, but now it seems that there is none.

"I need to think about this question. After all, the original household contract responsibility system or other forms are all based on public ownership of land. Farmers maintain a contract relationship with the collective, and the collective manages and uses the land in a unified manner. What you are doing should actually be regarded as collective contracting of land, and then letting a few people cultivate it. This..."

In fact, he thinks this is also an exploitative relationship, but it doesn't make sense. After all, the majority of people exploit a minority of people, and the exploited people get paid and are even happy to do such work, so it is difficult to judge.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "In fact, I think this approach is better because it can free up Xiao Lei's family's productivity and invest in more production and manufacturing. Before, we contracted production to each household, and when it was the busy farming season, Xiao Lei's industry had to stop and let the workers harvest the crops, which delayed the development of the enterprise. This is the contradiction between the rural collective economy and individual farmers, and it is also a food security issue. So after thinking it over, I adopted this approach of contracting production to each household and linking production to old age."

When County Magistrate Xu heard what Zhao Shucheng said, he felt that it made sense and was not considered exploitation, so he nodded and said, "That's good. After this document comes out, it will be a good thing for your Xiao Lei family."

"Not only did you not go wrong, you took the right path. The county party committee meeting decided to make your Xiao Lei family a model. This is equivalent to giving your Xiao Lei family wings. How far you can go and how high you can fly in the future depends on how capable you are."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "County Magistrate Xu, I won't say anything more. I'll toast you a glass."

After finishing his drink, Zhao Shucheng said, "Come to think of it, County Magistrate Xu, I really need your help with something. We want to set up a wool spinning mill and need to purchase a batch of advanced equipment. We need support from the county and the city." (End of this chapter)
