the longest dream

Chapter 75
At the dinner table, Qi Juan talked vividly about her trip to the capital.

Of course it wasn't purely for fun, but it also brought some new knowledge about Pingjing.

For example, the booming urban construction, the demand for steel, the impact on heavy industry, and a little analysis of the economy.

Zhang Qing was not surprised. He only read two newspapers, "Hong Kong City Financial News" and "South China Press". As far as he knew, Qi Juan had to read seven newspapers, including two from the United States and two from the United Kingdom.

"Well, although we are still developing, we are far behind the old US. There is no way around it. Last year, the economic progress of the old US slowed down. The first quarter of this year was also average, with an increase of only one percentage point. But in the second quarter , the U.S. economy may have grown by more than 4 percent in the second quarter, driven by a recovery in private consumption and investment spending and strong growth in exports of goods and services. Growth in the first quarter was greater than the entire national product of many countries, alas..."

Qi Juan said lazily, with a weak tone in her tone.

Liu Shanshan was also infected, worrying about the country and the people: "Then when will we catch up with them?"

Qi Juan shook her head and said, "I don't know. I haven't entered the WTO yet, and I'm excluded from the world's mainstream trade. It's a long way off."

Li Suzhi asked Zhang Qing, "What does Zhang Qing think?"

After Zhang Qing swallowed the cumin mutton in his mouth, he said, "China's rapid development will not be too far away."

Qi Juan raised her eyebrows and said: "How do you say? The current economy, not to mention a mess, is far away from rapid development. Most of the state-owned enterprises have already arrived, and the heads of the local governments are about to be broken. Tianhong Heavy Industry is a private enterprise, [-] It sounds like a lot of people, but compared with those large-scale heavy industries that cost [-], [-], or even the entire city is built around a factory, the volume is still far behind. However, Tianhong is making profits every year, and the profit rate is still reversed. Looking at those large state-owned heavy industry enterprises, there are less than two hands that can pay full wages."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "These you said are objective facts, but you should also know that the state issued a notice in October last year about the trial implementation of bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises in several cities. This shows that the state has begun to plan to solve this evil disease .As far as the current situation is concerned, within three years at most, the country will definitely appear.”

Liu Shanshan was speechless, and said, "Do you think this is a good thing? The state-owned enterprises have gone bankrupt, what should the workers do?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "So many state-owned enterprises with such a large size, why have they come to this point? If the workers still have the collective sense of honor of the workers in the 60s and [-]s, if the leaders of the state-owned enterprises do not fill their own pockets and wanton corruption, but have a long-term vision , State-owned enterprises will come to this point? Self-inflicted crimes, can not live. What's more, entering a factory and becoming a worker is like holding an iron rice bowl and a golden rice bowl. Who cares, how can there be any enthusiasm? At the same time, what about the farmers?"

Liu Shanshan argued: "Farmers also have their own means of production, land."

Zhang Qing smiled wryly and said: "Do you know how much tax farmers have to pay for farming? Let me tell you, in addition to three mentions and five unification of agricultural taxes, there are so many other exorbitant taxes and apportionments in the village! To put it bluntly, in the past, it was great for tenants to farm land for landlords." Just pay [-]% to [-]% of the land rent, and the rest is your own. These years, farmers have cultivated more land, and they have paid more. Even in good years, [-]% have to be paid. Do you know that industrial and agricultural scissors are bad? It is one billion farmers The blood and tears of the country supported the establishment of the national industry from the ruins.

Of course I understand that this is the inevitable pain that an agricultural country has to go through when it develops into an industrialized country.There is no problem. My family has never defaulted on paying public grain, submitting and keeping various miscellaneous fees, and dare not default on it.But this bitterness, the peasants can bear it, but the workers can't?

Farmers have experienced the pains of national development for decades, and they will definitely continue to experience them in the future. Workers... have enjoyed it since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is inevitable that they will suffer. "

Li Suzhi looked at Zhang Qing seriously and said, "Zhang Qing, what is your conclusion?"

Zhang Qingdao: "I firmly believe that it will definitely come. And when those extremely heavy burdens are bankrupt, the government and the people, the people, I mean all the people including one billion farmers, can go into battle lightly, and the country will definitely explode Strong vitality! Of course, workers will find a way out better and faster than farmers, and get rich quickly. Workers always represent advanced productivity.

Therefore, reform should bring forth the new!I think the state will vigorously support private enterprises, retreat from the country and advance from the private sector, adding great vitality and impetus to the economy.

Therefore, after experiencing a period of darkness, the national economy will surely usher in the dawn and burst out with strong vitality. "

Qi Ping looked at the extremely determined Zhang Qing, and said, "Have you ever thought about going into politics?" This is already a belief in the country, and many people with high official positions may not have this kind of confidence.

Zhang Qing shook his head and smiled and said: "I'm just talking about it from a macro perspective. If you really ask me to do practical things, it will be difficult. Among other things, the pain of reform is easy to say, but you can bankrupt the factory with your own hands. Let those laid-off workers live a miserable life, I am afraid I will not be able to relax, and I will be tortured by my conscience..."

In the 80s, some factories in Northeast China went bankrupt. It was really hard for workers, especially dual-career workers.

However, Li Suzhi was optimistic about him, and said encouragingly: "In the officialdom, you are needed with a macroscopic vision and a kind heart." Isn't this more noble than writing martial arts novels and popular songs?
Zhang Qing still shook his head: "That's not the ambition."

Li Suzhi smiled when she heard the words, although she was a little regretful, her appreciation for Zhang Qing did not diminish.

As long as Zhang Qing has ambitions, he should be confused at the moment. Just because Qi Juan can go to Longquan Mountain as a guest, he also has a way to reach the sky.

But he didn't.

Li Suzhi changed the subject and asked, "How did Zhang Tianmao and the others find you?"

Qi Juan laughed suddenly, and Liu Shanshan revealed: "Qing Zai sang a love song to Juan Zi on the Great Wall, and it was in English! I didn't expect that Ouyang Wanqing was just accompanying the guests, so she came to the door when she heard it." Her tone was sour. .

Qi Juan rolled her eyes and comforted: "Don't be jealous." Then before Li Suzhi criticized, she explained: "I bought Hu Quan's house, and Hu Quan praised Zhang Qing to the sky when he had dinner with Zhang Tianmao. It just so happened that Ouyang Wanqing had another incident, and Zhang Qing was also praised, so Zhang Tianmao came to her."

Zhang Qing recounted his transactions with Wu Cheng, Qiao Zetao and others, and finally said with emotion: "Every line is unfathomable, complicated and profound. I used to think that life was hard, but now I realize that it is actually difficult to do anything." Finally, he said: "I am still like this, I don't know how difficult it will be for Qi Juan in the future."

After the scene was quiet, Qi Ping and Li Suzhi looked at each other, and then heard their daughter laughing and saying: "It's a small thing, there's no problem!"

The last sentence is in Cantonese.

Li Suzhi looked at Zhang Qing, and said: "Don't rush to think about this, and don't put too much pressure on it. The most important thing is to grasp the present and not let the future regret it."

"Ring bell bell!"

As soon as Li Suzhi finished speaking, Zhang Lan's small satchel on the entrance table rang suddenly.

She blushed, hurriedly got up to get it, hesitated, and heard Zhang Qing say: "Go ahead, it should be the phone number at home, tell mom, and call her when I get back."

"Eh."

After Zhang Lan answered, she connected the phone: "Hello?"

A voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Lan, I'm looking for your brother."

Zhang Lan hurriedly laughed and said, "Sister Zhao!"

Zhang Qing got up to answer the phone: "Hello, sister Zhao."

Zhao Qiang said happily over there: "Zhang Qing, I have good news for you!"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "What good news makes you so happy? Sister Hu Quan agreed?"

Zhao Qiang laughed and said, "It's not this! Do you know Star Butterfly Records?"

"Star Butterfly Records? I don't know."

Zhang Qing shook his head and said after a pause, "Sister Zhao, to make a long story short, I'm eating at Uncle Qi's."

Zhao Qiang protractedly said "Oh", and then said: "Alright then, call me back after you finish eating."

After all, he hung up the phone with a "snap".

Zhang Qing was puzzled, passed the phone to Zhang Lan who was beside him, and returned to his seat.

Qi Juan and Liu Shanshan were expressionless, trying to hold back their smiles.

Zhang Qing was baffled, Zhang Lan couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered: "Brother, you can't talk like this with girls."

"Hahaha!"

Qi Juan and Liu Shanshan couldn't help laughing immediately, and Zhou Yanyan was laughing.

After a group of young people finished playing, Qi Ping touched his bald head and said thoughtfully: "Star Butterfly Records is an old record company in Beijing, and it can be said to be the earliest batch. But in recent years, it has become worse and worse. The boss Zhao Zhiming is said to be addicted to speculating in foreign exchange.”

Li Suzhi sneered and said, "That's not called speculating in foreign exchange, it's speculation and gambling!"

Qi Juan's eyes were bright, she looked at Zhang Qing and said, "It was mentioned a few days ago that the capital's foreign exchange collapsed, and how many people went bankrupt. You said that Zhao Qiang is now mentioning Star Butterfly Records, is it..."

Qi Ping said with a smile: "I can't escape, Zhao Yatou has her eyes on this record company. She dares to think, among other things, Xingdie Records holds [-]% of the shares in Baihuashen recording studio, which is not a small fortune."

Zhang Qing seriously asked, "Uncle Qi, in your opinion, if Sister Zhao really wants to buy that company, how much will it cost?"

Qi Ping thought for a while, and said: "If you don't count the recording studio, it will cost about one hundred thousand. But as far as I know, Xingdie still owes a lot of money outside. You must ask clearly about this, otherwise the creditor will It’s a lot of trouble to come to the door.”

Zhang Qing nodded, and said again: "What if we add a recording studio?"

Qi Ping shook his head and smiled: "With your current status, it's best not to engage in partnership business. Those shed bugs are old-fashioned, bad beyond your imagination. Let me tell you this, no one dares to do business in the shed. Drink water, unless it's the glass your assistant is holding all the time."

The scalps of the young people went numb, Liu Shanshan swallowed and said, "Uncle Qi, did someone really poison you?"

Qi Ping smiled slightly and said: "You just listen to it." Then he said to Zhang Qing: "Before you have a status in the world, don't think about competing for interests with others. Even sharing is not enough. What you need most is not a recording studio, but a record company. distribution department."

Qi Juan disagreed: "The recording studio is also very important."

Qi Ping said with a smile: "Can you save a recording studio? With the millions saved, it is enough to save a small and well-equipped recording studio. To record a master tape, there are not many people right now, so you need such a big recording studio." What to do? People majoring in recording at the music school are so poor that they don’t know where to find food, it’s not difficult.”

Zhang Qing's eyes lit up after the expert gave some pointers.

Liu Shanshan teased from the side: "Look at Zhang Qing, look at Zhang Qing, your eyes are so bright!"

How precious is this kind of senior guidance, how many detours can be avoided.

Everyone laughed, and Li Suzhi smiled understandingly: "Don't rush, take your time. You are still so young and have plenty of time. If you are in a hurry, accidents are easy to happen. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask your uncle."

Zhang Qing nodded heavily, feeling very happy in his heart.

Zhang Lan, on the other hand, was both happy and worried.

Brother owes so much favor to others, the family position will be worrying in the future...
