Just like that, Wang Mingshen found a way to survive again.
Although Li Tieshan's veto at the Standing Committee and his later leadership of the team to exterminate the bandits were not specifically for Wang Mingshen.
But Wang Mingshen really enjoyed the favor and benefit from the escort leader the most.
It can be said that Li Tieshan's favor not only saved his life, but also saved his political life.
Therefore, whether Li Tieshan remembers this love or not, he must remember it carefully.[
Therefore, hearing Xue Xiang mention Li Tieshan now, even if Wang Mingshen's current status within the party has already surpassed that of Li Tieshan, who has been idle for many years, he still has to say "old secretary".
This is inheritance, this is the rules, these are also the unwritten rules that maintain the normal operation of a system, although they are not explicitly stated, they are established by convention.
Seeing that Wang Mingshen's expression softened, Xue Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, after all, Li Tieshan did not talk in vain, but his layer of armor was applied to his body, and he said: "Uncle Li is in good health and can still drink every meal."
Half a pound of wine, he has been fighting with blood and fire all his life, it is great to be able to enjoy his old age in his hometown!"
"Sit down..."
Wang Mingshen asked Xue Xiang to sit down, and then asked Li Tieshan's current situation in detail, and blamed himself for not visiting the old secretary more often.
There was no way, no matter whether Wang Mingshen's words came from the bottom of his heart or not, this gesture had to be shown at the moment, otherwise when Xue Xiang and Li Tieshan talked about today's visit afterwards, it would be ugly if he made sarcastic remarks to someone and spread it out.
Therefore, at this moment, although he didn't like Xue Xiang, he still had to act like an elder and greet him with a smile.
However, Wang Mingshen and Xue Xiang suddenly acted like this. Everyone was shocked.
What is Wang Mingshen's status? He is the secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee. He is also a very important figure in the whole country.
Although Yuan Keli and others are close relatives, they also know how great Wang Mingshen's identity is. Although they are favored in front of Wang Mingshen, they are still treated like children.
They had never seen Wang Mingshen treat a young man like Xue Xiang in such a formal and official manner.
Here, Xue Xiang and Wang Mingshen chatted and laughed happily about Li Tieshan's past.
Yuan Keli, Wang Ziyi and others in that compartment were simply stunned. They all stared at Xue Xiang with their eyes wide open, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
The two chatted for about twenty minutes, and the topic gradually dropped from Li Tieshan to political affairs.
The first person was naturally Wang Mingshen. It was strange that Xue Xiang could take the initiative in such a negotiation with serious asymmetry in level.
"...Xue Xiang, I saw your speech at the last retreat on Internal Reference. You seemed to be very dissatisfied with state-owned enterprises. Can you tell me why you have such thoughts?
?”
Wang Mingshen was one of the few veteran cadres from a high-level intellectual background. He was a serious graduate of Jiaotong University in the 1920s and 1930s. He had extremely high theoretical literacy. Since he suspected that Xue Xiang's speech at the retreat was due to inviting others, he now
Because of Li Tieshan's relationship, I had to greet this guy with a smile. I felt discordant, so I naturally wanted to embarrass Xue Xiang.
Xue Xiang, however, did not think much about it. He told the truth and said: "Secretary Wang, I am not dissatisfied with state-owned enterprises, but with the mental state of our state-owned enterprises that are generally self-indulgent, stagnant, and do not make progress or make progress.
, I feel dissatisfied!"
Xue Xiangyu was surprised. In these years, although there were faint calls from the central government to thoroughly reform state-owned enterprises, the real focus of reform was on the dispute over price control.[
It’s not that the wise and wise bosses in the central government cannot see the shortcomings of state-owned enterprises, but that the interests involved in state-owned enterprises can no longer be described as huge, but are layered on top of each other, entangling almost the entire country.
Therefore, even in the central government, no one dares to criticize state-owned enterprises at this moment.
Therefore, Xue Xiang's sharpness at this moment seemed harsh and shocking.
Wang Mingshen knocked the tea lid gently and said, "Is that an exaggeration? State-owned enterprises have existed for decades. According to you, don't they only have merits due to their mistakes?"
Xue Xiang's remarks just now made Wang Mingshen lower his evaluation of Xue Xiang by several levels.
In his opinion, Xue Xiang's words were in response to his previous comment on Xue Xiang as an "impulsive official and a bastard". Of course, at this moment, he also had to add the label of "his big talk is shocking."
Xue Xiangdao: "How dare I say that to Secretary Wang's face? No matter what, in the past few decades, our state-owned enterprises have also made huge contributions to our national economic life. How can I dare to only give credit but not credit?"
Furthermore, what I am criticizing is that our current
Today's state-owned enterprises are in a state of existence rather than the business model of the past, because times are changing and internal contradictions are constantly changing. The models and experiences that once adapted to the times and the development of enterprises may now become burdensome and burdensome.
"
"If nothing else, let's take the alternative feudal hereditary system of "father to son, brother to brother," practiced by most of our state-owned enterprises as an example. Isn't this a huge drawback? If my father is a factory worker.
There is a senior technician in the school, and the son is just a silly boy who has not graduated from junior high school. However, the family is afraid that the son will not be able to compete in my class in the future. As a senior technician, the father is almost certain
He will retire a few years early and give up the pension of a higher salary level, but also let his son work in his own class. And our factories are usually very humane. In this way, some people in the factory are not enough to be humane.
Well, the factory has lost an elite technician who can create high profits, but has gained a freeloader. Can you tell me how the benefits of state-owned enterprises can be maintained in the long run?"
"As for the phenomenon I'm talking about, I'm sure you, Secretary Wang, are familiar with it. This phenomenon is widespread in all state-owned enterprises in our republic. In addition, production relies on coaxing, sales rely on the "government", and resources
Deployment relies on favors, and when the factory fails, it relies on relief. If this continues, what will happen? Secretary Wang, we
Our state-owned enterprises have gone bankrupt, and the "government" has to clean up the mess, but the cost of cleaning up the mess is squeezed out from the hands of farmers, penny by penny. It has suffered for us farmer brothers over the years, and we farmer brothers have suffered
With their private contributions, we hope that if the state-owned enterprises become stronger, our country will also become stronger so that we can feed them back."
"Nowadays, state-owned enterprises are generally in this state. What do you think we can do to feed one billion farmers???"
Xue was an orphan in his previous life. Although he had never been a farmer, he always had the deepest feelings for farmers. This can be seen from his political support in Shantun, Xiaoshan. He always governed from the perspective of farmers.
Think about the people first.
At this moment, he discusses the crisis of state-owned enterprises and finally returns to the position of supporting farmers, which is the fundamental expression of his feelings.
But when he said Xue Xiangyan, the whole place was filled with shouts.
Yuan Keli and Wang Ziyi had already begun to speculate on Xue Xiang's identity the moment he called him "Secretary Wang." When they first heard him say "Uncle Li Tieshan," Wang Mingshen's expression changed drastically, and everyone thought that this person was
He is a descendant of Wang Mingshen's former leader named Li Tieshan.
But now, when they saw Xue Xiang sitting upright and talking with Wang Mingshen, a super big man who was unattainable in their eyes, the eyes of these people were about to explode with shock.
Not to mention, Xue Xiang's analysis is simple and well-founded. Even they, who have never worked in a factory, know that if state-owned enterprises are generally like what Xue Xiang said, they are really close to death and cannot survive without reform.
.
In particular, upon hearing Xue Xiang's heavy sigh after describing the peasants' misery, not only Wang Ziyi and others' hearts trembled, but even Wang Mingshen's drooped eyelids could not help but twitch.
Whether Xue Xiang's sigh came from his heart or was a forgery, Wang Mingshen's skills and eyesight could tell at a glance.
In an instant, although Wang Mingshen's impression of Xue Xiang did not make a 180-degree turn, his impression became much better.
There is no way. Almost all the veteran cadres of this era have experienced the most difficult years and have the deepest feelings for farmers and the land. Although Wang Mingshen comes from a scholarly family, he also worked in the fields during his years in cave dwellings and knows that farming is not easy.
, I also know that the country’s policies, in order to promote the rapid development of industry, do not provide enough assistance to agriculture and farmers, but also impose a lot of burdens.
Therefore, at this moment, Xue Xiang's heavy sigh made him feel the same.
However, sighs are sighs. For a scholar-type cadre like Wang Mingshen, emotional points cannot determine the success or failure of the debate. He raised his hand and made a gesture to invite Xue Xiang to drink tea, and then said: "You
The problems you mentioned may all exist, and they are indeed not small, but I don’t think this can be used as the fundamental basis for denying the existence of state-owned enterprises, because the problems you mentioned can all be solved through technology.
It cannot be solved by reform at the level of the government, as you said in your article. It needs to change the form of ownership to introduce some kind of competition mechanism. Doing this will cause chaos in the world. Our country is led by the working class and is led by workers and peasants.
The state form of a socialist country based on alliances is mainly reflected in the ownership of the means of production. Do you want to fundamentally reject the socialist system here?"[
Xue Xiang hadn't really studied Wang Mingshen's resume carefully. He just relied on habitual knowledge and thought that this was also an old revolutionary with a mud-legged background. An old senior, at this moment, hearing his sharp counterattack and precise entry point, he knew immediately.
There was a major deviation in my previous understanding.
But listen to Xue Xiangdao: "Secretary Wang, first of all, what I want to correct you is that I have never denied the necessity of the existence of state-owned enterprises; secondly, changing the ownership form does not mean fundamentally denying the ownership of the means of production. In our case,
It seems that the focus of ownership should be reflected in control, rather than in terms of quantity. In terms of ownership, our country continues to control oil, food, etc. that dominate the economy.
Opening up other industries, introducing private ownership, and introducing competition will not only invigorate the economy, but it will not shake our political power or change the socialist nature of our country. Isn’t this the best of both worlds? Besides, I always think that other forms of ownership are also
An extremely important supplement to our system of ownership by the whole people is just like our joint production contract responsibility system, although it has changed the business model..."
