After the conference, the topic of "shifting the focus of work to socialist modernization" has caused changes in the entire society from top to bottom.

Rural industry and commerce, household sideline businesses were lifted, and rural markets were recognized, and changes began to occur in rural areas.

On December 26, Zhang Baofeng borrowed the production team's ox cart, bought two piglets from the countryside, and raised them in his own pig pen.

Before this, although Zhang Baofeng's family also raised pigs in the pig pen, the pigs belonged to the production team. He only raised pigs to earn work points.

On this day, many villagers gathered around Zhang Baofeng's house. They looked at the two little piglets running around in the pig pen, and their faces were full of joy.

On December 31, 1978, Mou, a native of Wanxian County in Sichuan, who became the country's richest man and later the country's top fraudster, was released from prison.

This year, Huaxi Village has fixed assets of 1 million yuan and bank deposits of 1 million yuan.

This year, Lu Guanqiu's factory had more than 400 workers, and its annual output value reached 3 million yuan.

This year, the Bankruptcy Reform Act was promulgated on the other side of the ocean.

In this year, the second anniversary of the founding of Microsoft, Bill, the future richest man in the world, mustered up the courage to give himself an annual salary of US$16,000.

This year the world's first mobile communication system was launched, but many people were not optimistic about this new technology.

This year, the Educated Youth Cannery was also half a year old, with a turnover of 130,000 yuan and a net profit of 110,000 yuan.

There are 90,000 yuan in funds on the books, and of course it still owes 60,000 yuan in foreign debt.

There are about 50 employees in total, and the machinery and equipment are equivalent to the production lines of a two-day cannery.

Some of these workers were recruited in December.

The maximum monthly production volume reaches 90,000 cans.

1978 is over and a new year has begun.

January 1, 1979, was the third day of the twelfth lunar month. At this time, neither rural areas nor cities celebrated New Year's Day.

However, Jiang Xiaobai specifically ordered the canteen to make dumplings for lunch on the first day.

"Director Xiaobai." Li Laosan and Wang Meng knocked on the door and came in. They were a little confused when they saw that Jiang Xiaobai had already tidied up and was busy in the office.

Usually at this time, Factory Manager Xiaobai should still be sleeping.

Why are you getting up so early in the middle of winter?

"Come here, come here quickly, how about taking a look at this photo?" Jiang Xiaobai waved to the two of them and said.

Li Laosan and Wang Meng came over and helped Jiang Xiaobai organize the photos.

With the borrowed camera, Jiang Xiaobai certainly didn't just take pictures of land reform, villagers, educated youth canneries, and cannery workers.

Jiang Xiaobai took lots of photos of everything, so there were quite a lot of photos developed.

After selecting photos, the two sat down on the sofa.

"On the first day of the New Year, I asked the cafeteria to make dumplings at noon. After a while, the third son called all the children over, and we ate them in the cafeteria at noon. They were stuffed with pork and green onions."

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you to the factory..." Li Laosan said. Normally, except for factory workers and their families, the canteen does not provide meals.

Otherwise, if 50 workers can feed hundreds of family members, it would be considered a small number.

Li Laosan was interrupted by Jiang Xiaobai before he finished speaking. Although the factory has a system, it can be used flexibly.

Today is the first day of the New Year, and the situation of Li Laosan's family is quite special. His wife passed away, and Li Laosan is raising several children by himself.

In addition, Li Laosan is also the deputy director of the factory, so it doesn't matter if we make an exception.

"Director, we got the TV back, and it cost more than 3,000 yuan." Wang Meng said with a pained look on his face, "It cost more than 3,000 yuan."

And it's not just a matter of money. He also cobbled together the industrial vouchers used to buy the TV, either through favors or connections. It was not easy to get a TV back.

Moreover, this TV set had to be given to the dealer. To be honest, Wang Meng was so distressed that he didn't want to give it up.

"Okay, let's put it in your office first. Are the other bicycles and radios done?" Jiang Xiaobai nodded and asked.

"Yeah," Wang Meng nodded. These two things are relatively easy to handle. Mr. Wang saved a bicycle directly by buying parts. Although the radio is not cheap, it is much larger than the TV.

While the three of them were talking, Song Weiguo knocked on the door and came in. He looked at Jiang Xiaobai with excitement and said.

"Director, Director Shi and Section Chief Liu of the garment factory are here."

"Quickly, please invite them in. Did they know by smell that our canteen is making dumplings today?" Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile and stood up to prepare to greet them.

"We just came here because of the smell. The food in your educated youth cannery is much better than ours."

Before Shi Sheng's voice could finish, he appeared at the door of Jiang Xiaobai's office.

After the conference was over, and after many layers of communication, everyone was able to understand the spirit above.

The leaders of the prison system immediately remembered that the No. 1 Prison had submitted a proposal some time ago to jointly set up a factory with a township enterprise.

It turns out that they didn't dare to do it because the attitude from above was unclear and unclear. They didn't dare to mess around.

But now after the conference, there are voices all over the country to engage in modernization, and rural industry, commerce, and household sideline businesses have also been liberalized.

Moreover, during this period, various foreign funds were introduced, and foreign enterprises had to operate joint ventures.

Everyone can feel this atmosphere, so of course the leaders of the prison system are tempted by the idea of ​​jointly setting up a factory.

And this is also a cooperative model, if successful.

That's not just the clothing factory in No. 1 Prison, factories in other prisons can do this as well.

So immediately, the leaders of the prison system gave instructions on the application submitted by the No. 1 Prison Clothing Factory, saying that it could be tried.

After writing, I wrote eight big words, "Make sure to hand it in, and you will be responsible for any failure to pay." These eight words were circled in red pen.

Shi Sheng looked at the approved documents and felt very complicated.

Especially when I looked at the eight words circled in red pen: "Make sure to hand it in. If you don't receive it, you will be responsible for it."

These eight words are also easy to understand. Make sure that the factory is handed over normally. Everything else is yours if you make money, and if you are in debt, it is also yours.

But at this time, can state-owned enterprises really be responsible for their losses?

"Sit down, brothers, I miss you so much." Jiang Xiaobai smiled and invited Shi Sheng and Section Chief Liu to sit down.

While making tea for the two of them, if nothing unexpected happened to him, there should be news about the joint factory he mentioned earlier.

And it should be good news, otherwise, these two people would not come to the Educated Youth Cannery again.
Chapter completed!
