1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 476 Luo Tao’s Report Meeting
, mid-August.

Luo Tao and his wife Zhu Lin went non-stop to Taiyuan, Shijiazhuang and Tianjin to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of Xichang Building.

This person is afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, Luo Tao is now deeply in this distress.

As soon as I arrived in Shijiazhuang City, I was invited to have tea by relevant comrades in the city.

Shishi is the first place in the country to implement "individual contracting" enterprises, and it is also the first place to break the "iron rice bowl" and "iron wages".

The above-mentioned number one was all created by a man named Ma Shengli, who is also known as the No. 1 enterprise contractor.

The 80s was also an era of god-making, and Ma Shengli was a beneficiary. Regarding his future ending, we can also say that he was a victim. His success was entirely created by the times, and he was the link between the old and new economic thoughts and theories in China.

It can be said that he is famous for success and failure.

Since he contracted a paper mill in Shishi City in 1984, he has put forward the "36 Strategies" and "72 Changes".

A series of measures have been reformed in the factory, from factory management to product raw materials to product types, to promote a concept similar to diversification.

In this way, he turned a factory that had difficulty meeting the planned target of 17 yuan every year into a huge profit of 140 million yuan in the first year under his leadership.

In the past few years, his paper mill has been performing well every year, with profits doubling every year.

There are good inspiring examples, but there are also bad examples.

such as:

At the beginning of this year on the 8th, a company in the Northeast officially declared bankruptcy. In the past, there were also poorly managed factories, but none of them officially declared bankruptcy to the public.

With the combination of these people and events, a major national reform was carried out across the country from north to south.

This shows that the "iron rice bowl" is no longer so valuable in our country.

On the first day we arrived in Shijiazhuang City, the sky had a gloomy face, which clearly meant that Luo Tao and others were not welcome.

The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, first turning into dark clouds, and then turning into patches of black clouds. The strong wind only changed its posture.

Its appearance, its ideology, including its desire to fight, have never changed at all.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and its fighting spirit is getting stronger and stronger.

Look, it is wearing a black cloak, whizzing away towards another black cloud not far away, as fast as lightning.

Behind him were traces of dark clouds that had been transformed by unknown magic, like soldiers who had fallen behind.

listen! ! !
"Clang, click~~~click"

Thunder and lightning flashed, and the thunder was like a long dragon, stretching across the sky.

Then came the rain, which was as heavy as a pea, pattering down, and then there was another bolt of lightning across the sky, but no thunder was heard.

The heavy rain poured down, hitting the windows of the hotel where Luo Tao and his wife lived without mercy. Within a minute or two, the two glass panes of the window were swallowed up by the rain.

Luo Tao sat by the window, watching the heavy rain outside, "This rain really takes its time, it really makes me dumbfounded."

These words puzzled Zhu Lin, who was ironing clothes.

People always go out with their secretaries and other messy people.

Every time Luo Tao goes out, he always brings his wife, whom he is marrying.

Absolutely good man.

"What do you mean by that?"

"If it rained like this when Xichang Tower opened yesterday, do you think I would curse in the street?"

She lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, not to delay the work at hand, then raised her head to glance at Luo Tao and smiled, "If you don't curse, then you are definitely not you."

"Hey! It's as if I often curse." After joking, Luo Tao said seriously: "I want to thank him for his failure yesterday, but for his failure today, this God is quite wicked."

"Clang! Click~~Crack!"

The thunder resounded through the sky, and Luo Tao was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva. The couple were stunned. Zhu Lin was frightened because of the inadvertent thunder.

Luo Tao, on the other hand, was terrified from head to toe because of his past and present lives.

Turning around and looking out the window, I was just complaining. You are such a noble god, but you are so angry for a mere mortal like me.

After pausing for a while, seeing that it had no other instructions, he turned his head again and said, "Ahem, it's thundering. You didn't say anything in advance. It's so sudden. It's quite scary."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Lin smiled as brightly as Luo Tao, a resentful woman.

"By the way, have they told you what time in the afternoon they want you to give a report?"

"Oh, they will pick me up in the car. No matter what time it is, as soon as the heavy rain stops, we can go to Tianjin and then return to Beijing."

……

This didn't even wait until the afternoon. At noon, the economic leader of Shijiazhuang came to the hotel and invited the couple to dinner.

The food is very delicious, very authentic Hebei cuisine, such as the most famous golden lion fish in Shijiazhuang City.

Luo Tao praised it after taking a bite, "It's beautiful, sweet and sour, and it's worthy of being a famous dish in Hebei Province."

"As long as Mr. Luo likes it, you two might as well try the fried whole fish." Yu Changqi, leader of Shijiazhuang City, invited again.

In the past two days, I have been eating Xichanglou's dishes. Luo Tao has never eaten this Hebei cuisine. As a senior foodie, this is not a mistake he should make.

Although he is engaged in the catering industry, this does not affect him at all from going to other restaurants to eat.

This stir-fried whole fish is made with carp as the main ingredient, supplemented by salt, green onions, chili powder, and five-spice powder.

The whole fish is caught and fried using large carps, and the highlight is the skill of the knife.

When the dish is served, it takes up one-third of the table. It is delicious and atmospheric.

Luo Tao couldn't be polite in front of delicious food, so he took a piece of it.

The fish meat enters the mouth and stops on the tip of the tongue for a while. It tastes very delicious, and then it is chewed, and the texture is quite delicate.

"The fish is fresh and the soup is delicious." These six words were Luo Tao's evaluation of this dish.

Yu Changqi had already nibbled a few mouthfuls when Luo Tao was tasting it, and there was nothing rude about his performance, it was all because of his delicious mouthfuls, which led to him being able to eat Dao often.

"Mr. Luo, you are really an expert. This six-character review can reveal the essence of this famous dish. The whole fish is stir-fried. In the final analysis, it lies in the soup..."

After this meal, Luo Tao knew that Comrade Yu Changqi from Shijiazhuang was not only a cadre, but also a gourmet.

When it comes to food, he can definitely be said to be a hardcore person.

Listening to what he said, he not only knows how to eat, but he is also very good at cooking. He knows a little bit of the dishes from Hebei, Beijing, and Shandong cuisines.

He had worked as a cook for three or four years back then, and then the spring breeze freed him.

Luo Tao admired him very much.Today, in addition to these two dishes, there is liver collapse, braised chicken and a few vegetarian dishes.

Luo Tao really satiated his taste buds.

After finishing the five internal organs temple, he drove to the place where he was giving his report today in the heavy rain.

Luo Tao first chatted with the leaders of Ji Province and Shijiazhuang City. This kind of meeting was almost always arranged in advance.

Then he goes on stage and reads according to the script. After an hour or a little more, it's almost over.

At about two o'clock, everyone found their seats one after another. Following the call of an amateur host, Luo Tao walked with his vigorous steps.

Distinctive cloth shoes, a standard gray tunic suit, meticulous hair, and a gentle smile, here he comes.

The audience was very agitated when they saw Luo Tao appear on the stage, but everyone was a master of reserve and endured their love for Luo Tao. They held their breath and looked at the calm Luo Tao on the stage.

Looking at Luo Tao, he calmly adjusted the microphone slightly first, feeling that it was in a suitable position for him. He held his hand on the table and looked at the audience.

This place wasn't very splendid, but it was definitely big enough. Luo Tao's slightly short-sighted eyes couldn't count how many people there were because of the huge crowd.

Hundreds, or thousands...

The leaders sit at the top, and the junior leaders sit at the bottom.

At this time, a gentle but very approachable voice sounded, "Hello, comrades."

Thunderous applause burst out from below, interrupting his words. He did not expect that he would be so popular.

Wait until the applause subsides.

“I am very happy to open a store in Shijiazhuang, and I am very grateful to Shen Jilan and other provincial and municipal leaders for their invitation. Let me share with you my experiences in the reform and opening up over the years.

Regarding this invitation, I personally feel sincere and frightened... How can I be able to sit down and communicate with you all? …”

Luo Tao paused, "Bah bang bang!"

Wait until the applause subsides.

The passion of Luo Tao's speech was gradually aroused by the bursts of applause, and he no longer cared about too many things. He joked: "Hahaha! Comrades are so enthusiastic... I will tell you something secretly."

The pause in this sentence aroused everyone's curiosity. Seeing that they were listening and waiting to be heard, Luo Tao explained with a smile: "Listen to my report, you must learn to be reserved, otherwise your hands will hurt when you get home."

The entire venue was amused by Luo Tao's narcissism. People in this era are so cute. Just a small joke would make them laugh all day long.

From this moment, Luo Tao truly entered their world, breaking all their previous inherent imaginations about Luo Tao.

From this moment on, they knew who Luo Tao was, someone they could talk to on an equal footing.

“To be honest with my comrades, I feel like I don’t know what to say when I see you.

I prepared three pages for this meeting. "Luo Tao picked it up and raised it to them.

Then he said: "It seems like waste paper now, why?"

pause!

silence!

"I call myself a private entrepreneur. Strictly speaking, the people here with me are not from the same group." Luo Tao simply put aside the manuscript he wrote and began to give an impromptu speech.

"Since we are not on the same road, let's talk freely today.

I think few of you here know what "entrepreneur" means? Luo Tao looked at them and asked: "Which comrade knows?" "

Looking around, no one answered. Everyone was talking quietly. They didn't understand why Luo Tao wanted to say something that had nothing to do with them.

Luo Tao waited for more than a minute, but no one raised their hands, so he had to ask and answer himself. They, the leaders of a certain factory, only care about the present, and no one cares about the future of the factory. Even if they care, it is one-sided.

“We don’t have this term in the mainland yet, it’s an imported product.

It originally referred to commanders in the army, and later evolved to refer specifically to people who like to take risks.
Finally, in the early 19th century, there was a man named Say in France. He wrote a book called "...Introduction to Economics".

From this time on, the word entrepreneur was linked to money, but it definitely did not represent capital, and was even the opposite. "

They were now puzzled by this interesting word. Regardless of what Luo Tao was going to say next, everyone recorded it in perfect agreement.

The cameraman who was originally on the other side of the stage also came to Luo Tao's side.

Luo Tao talked about the meaning of this term again, and then shared his own views, "I personally think that a qualified entrepreneur must have the courage to take risks, be brave in innovation, be persistent in things, be honest, and have a sense of family and country. ..."

pause!

Thunderous applause!

"I believe that in the near future, a large number of such responsible entrepreneurs will emerge in our country. ..."

“...I know everyone wants to know my views on the newly emerged township enterprises and joint ventures.

In fact, this is a good thing...it is better for a single flower to flourish than for a hundred flowers to bloom.

Besides, almost everyone is a participant or a supporter. I think you should understand why you do this better than me. The times have changed, and everyone has to find a way out.

Everyone knows Comrade Ma Shengli's deeds... I personally admire his innovative spirit very much,... he is more capable than me. "

Luo Tao is also a follower of the crowd, so there is nothing he can do about it. Now singing against the stage is easy to provoke public anger.

After all, not everyone has Luo Tao's ability to be reborn.

His words are still very popular with everyone. He is now an economic representative figure in Hebei Province and is very popular.

"However, I personally have a somewhat shallow view on joint ventures."

Everyone really wanted to hear Luo Tao's opinion, and they were all very attentive, holding pens in their hands, staring at the corner where Luo Tao was on the stage with piercing eyes.

The ground tilts to the southeast, and this concrete platform connected to the earth's veins seems to be breaking free of its shackles and trying to accomplish great things on its own.

“I understand that most of these people are courageous, good at discovering business opportunities, and know some knowledge about the work they are engaged in.

Township enterprises have great potential and have strong vitality. I am personally very optimistic about this new model.

However, these people generally have low levels of education, are not down-to-earth in temperament, have insufficient innovative spirit, and are not big enough. These are their shortcomings. "The words stirred up a thousand waves.

As soon as Luo Tao finished speaking, everyone on and off the stage was having their little meeting again. Luo Tao was not in a hurry and took the opportunity to drink some tea to moisten his broken voice.

Such discussions are inevitable. After all, the relationship between state-owned enterprises and township enterprises is a mother-child relationship.

The national name wants to change, and the township enterprises want to be stronger. No one forces the other. This is the choice made by both of them in this era.
