The news revealed by Xiao Wei made Yang Shaozong very uneasy. He waited uneasily for two days in the Capital Hotel. Vice Premier Rong happened to be receiving foreign guests at the Capital Hotel that night. He came to Yang Shaozong's room around 9 o'clock in the evening and accompanied him there. Also present were Comrade Chen Guangming, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Comrade Guo Chuanwei, director of the Second Secretary Bureau of the General Office of the State Council.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Vice Premier Rong said to Yang Shaozong: "I know you are anxious to go back to attend the China Economic Forum, but I really have something to talk to you about, so I asked you to stay and wait for two days. I hope you can understand. Comrade Chen Guangming is also going to attend the closing of the forum tomorrow. I hope you will make an arrangement and ask him to make a more important speech before the closing. At that time, you can take the transfer flight arranged by Southwest Airlines back together. "
Yang Shaozong nodded silently.
Vice Premier Rong continued: ¡°I came to you this time to talk about two issues, but before that, I want to hear your concluding comments on Qishan¡¯s economic and social development!¡±
Yang Shaozong thought about it for a moment and kept thinking about what to say. After a while, he said: "Judging from the current data, the development level of Qishan Town must be very advanced, and many of our reforms have been very good." Results. Our output value last year was 24.3 billion yuan, and we paid 730 million yuan in profits and taxes. In terms of social welfare and education, we are also completely at the leading level among domestic towns and villages. "
Vice Premier Rong¡¯s focus seemed not to be here, and he asked directly: ¡°How is Zhongqi Company?¡±
Yang Shaozong said: "The development of Zhongqi Company is also very stable and rapid. According to our latest statistics, the total assets exceed the 40 billion yuan mark, the debt ratio is less than 40%, and last year's total net profit also exceeded the initial The expected mark of 30 billion yuan!¡±
He said this quite conservatively, and the total output value and total net profit were very vague, because last year's total output value was very difficult to calculate. The total net profit was close to 60 billion yuan, half of which basically came from The speculative nature of stocking up in advance, stock market speculation, and the accelerated development of health care products.
The debt ratio of Zhongqi Company mainly comes from the debt of the acquisition company itself and bank loans. He said it was lower than 40%, but in fact it was exactly 39%.
Vice Premier Rong then nodded slightly and said: "So you are indeed ahead of other domestic units in terms of corporate management level. If other units have such a management level, then our country's economic work will be much easier to handle."
After a pause, he asked again: "In other aspects, is there anything else you want to talk about or summarize?"
Yang Shaozong continued to think for a moment, feeling that Vice Premier Rong wanted to ask something intentionally, but he couldn't explain clearly.
After being silent for a while, Yang Shaozong suddenly sighed helplessly and decided to tell the truth, saying: "Overall, of course it is very good, and I am personally very satisfied. But when I look back, I always feel that what I did is not good enough. I Initially, we hoped to realize the construction of socialism in our hometown first, achieve three improvements in personal wealth, collective wealth and the ideological and cultural quality of citizens, and reach a higher level of socialism. But now, through our efforts, we have The work has indeed greatly improved the personal wealth and collective wealth of Qishan Town and Qishan People's Commune. The per capita assets have actually reached the standard of one million yuan this year. However, many of the current situations are different from what I originally imagined. It has a completely different side. We currently have 87,000 members in Qishan, half of whom are self-employed. The idea of ????doing business and making big money has become a common practice. Farmers no longer farm, and are busy investing and speculating in stocks. Investing can make a lot of money in one year. With tens of thousands of yuan, who cares about the affairs of rural cooperatives? Even if some people come to do things, their efficiency is not as good as before. Our general manager in charge of rural cooperatives raised an idea before I came to attend the meeting, which is to allow Rural cooperatives will make rectifications and suspend some of their members who are passive and slow in their work."
¡°Suddenly, Vice Premier Rong, Deputy Director Chen Guangming of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Director Guo Chuanwei of the General Office of the State Council all laughed out loud when they heard that a town committee leader like Yang Shaozong was also having difficulty getting things done.
Deputy Director Chen Guangming even said with emotion: "It's really unexpected, Prime Minister Rong, it's true that the poor have the sufferings of the poor, the rich also have the sufferings of the rich, and every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. This is true. !¡±
Vice Premier Rong nodded, and then asked Yang Shaozong: "After your members go out to be self-employed, are you still not a member?"
"yes!"
Yang Shaozong answered affirmatively and continued to explain: "We very actively promoted two policies a few years ago, one is to stop the cooperative for self-operation, and the other is public-private partnership. The former allows members to become self-employed and leave the commune to start their own businesses. They retain members Qualifications and household registration, but commune dividends will no longer be distributed, and the medical cooperative insurance and universal pension currently implemented by the commune willIn fact, he is the most experienced person. He has actually encountered all kinds of problems that may be encountered here.
On this evening, he and Vice Premier Rong, Chen Guangming, and Guo Chuanwei discussed various issues related to the reform of state-owned enterprises. Vice Premier Rong, Chen Guangming, and Guo Chuanwei all agreed very much with the ideas and reform plans he proposed.
Such more in-depth contact strengthened Vice Premier Rong¡¯s determination to transfer Yang Shaozong to the central government. However, after the three Vice Premiers left, Yang Shaozong silently fell into a kind of reflection late at night.
He was thinking about what went wrong in the development of Qishan.
In fact, there is no obvious mistake, and the key is precisely here. Compared with commune-type collectives such as Jingxi and Nanjie, Qishan places great emphasis on absorbing talents from outside during its development process, and regards this as Qishan¡¯s The foundation for mountain development and growth.
Compared with Jingxi and Nanjie, Qishan is also more open and welcomes outstanding talents from all over the country to join.
These two foundations determine that although Qishan will develop faster, it will also be more deeply affected by the external environment. Facts have proved that it is impossible for a small social group to build another political structure and social model independently of the large social environment. , unless this small social group is relatively closed.
Qishan is certainly not closed, and is even one of the most open areas in China during its ideological reform.
Yang Shaozong does not want to admit that he has failed, but he must face this reality-the increase in collective wealth and the improvement of education levels are not the cradle of socialism. If you want to realize socialism in areas like Qishan, you must There is another necessary condition - the ideological trend and atmosphere of the entire large social environment.
When the whole of China is obsessed with the ideal of getting rich, Qishan, who is at the forefront of reform, cannot escape.
If the people in Qishan were still farmers like in the past, perhaps a special situation could be maintained in Qishan, which was the situation originally envisioned by Yang Shaozong. Unfortunately, it was not the case. In the past five years, Qishan has continued to attract the best talents from China to join. , one of their common characteristics is the pursuit of the embodiment of personal value.
This caused the Qishan People¡¯s Commune to encounter problems in 1992 that areas such as Jingxi Village and Nanjie Village may only encounter in the 21st century - people¡¯s liberalization and the pursuit of individual values.
There is no doubt that although it is not the situation originally envisioned by Yang Shaozong, from the perspective of "human" simplicity, the problem that arises now is not that there is a big problem in Qishan, but that Qishan is making progress.
This realization made Yang Shaozong realize that Qishan cannot go backwards. We cannot force Qishan to go backwards for the sake of so-called average prosperity. Qishan can only continue to develop in a more open and diversified way.
The Qishan People¡¯s Commune is a red flag. It cannot collapse. Instead, it must find new values ??and definitions in the new era. It cannot go backwards and can only open up further.
Is the Qishan People¡¯s Commune still a commune without land?
Of course it is, but you have to give it a new definition, which is beyond factors such as city, countryside, land, place of origin, etc.
Yang Shaozong could vaguely figure out where the road to Qishan People's Commune was, but he was not sure whether he had the chance to complete this change.
