The smile on the deputy commander's face suddenly disappeared. He stared at Wang Ping and asked with a serious face: "Wang Ping, can you say what you just said again?"
"If your ideas continue to develop, how much profit will the instant noodle factory make in a month?"
Wang Ping didn't know how much his answer had shocked the deputy commander, so he answered without hesitation: "In one month, when all four production lines of the instant noodle factory are equipped with hydraulic dough mixers and hydraulic noodle presses, I can guarantee that
Ten thousand yuan a month!"
"The next goal is to improve the raw materials for instant noodles, so that the profit of the instant noodle factory will increase to 15,000 yuan a month!"
"However, this may take a long time, maybe one month, maybe two months, maybe half a year, no one can tell. After all, there is no reference for improving production raw materials, we can only keep trying.
!”
The deputy commander continued to ask: "Can you guarantee that what you just said is not an exaggeration? You can issue a military order!"
"There is no problem with establishing a military order!" Wang Ping affirmed.
Then the topic changed and he said: "However, the Ministry of Economic Affairs must ensure that instant noodle factories have sufficient raw material supply and sales!"
Minister Li of the Ministry of Economic Affairs immediately replied: "There is no problem with this. I can't guarantee anything else. There will definitely be no problem in half a year!"
"In addition, after our instant noodles entered the Chongqing army, the Americans somehow found out about it. Now the Americans are also contacting us and want to buy a batch. However, due to transportation reasons, the quantity purchased is not very large. The main reason is that
Supplying Chongqing!”
"However, even if we know how to supply Chongqing, the instant noodle factory will not worry about sales. The army in Xi'an alone can eat up all our output in one day, not to mention that there are dozens of times the number of troops in Chongqing!"
"In this case, I can guarantee that the profit will be much higher. But it will take time to reach fifteen thousand yuan per month, and it will be a lot of time!" Wang Ping affirmed again, giving the deputy commander a bite.
A reassurance!
The deputy commander finally showed a smile on his face, and then comforted: "Comrade Wang Ping, don't be anxious, take your time, we can afford it!"
"The profit of 10,000 yuan a month is already a huge breakthrough and surprise for us!"
"Do you know what 10,000 yuan means to us? In the entire border area, the richest county's total tax revenue for a year is less than 2,000 yuan. In poorer counties, all kinds of taxes are collected in a year.
The total tax revenue is less than 1,000 yuan, and the average is only about 1,000 yuan. This means that your monthly profit from instant noodles is worth the annual tax revenue of almost ten counties in the border area!"
"Also, ten thousand oceans a month, which adds up to 120,000 oceans a year, or even more.)"
"A total of 120,000 yuan is definitely the largest income in a year for the border region government, and it can do many things!"
"Wang Ping, you have made great contributions to the revolution again. Such great contributions must be rewarded heavily!"
"The Commander-in-Chief has a request and cannot let you formally serve in the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Moreover, the military and the government belong to different systems, so it is definitely impossible to promote you."
Perhaps in order to stimulate Wang Ping to perform more during his part-time job at the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Minister Li of the Ministry of Economic Affairs hesitated and suggested: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I suggest that Wang Ping apply for personal special merit once and report directly to the General Headquarters!"
"Grand merit is for sure!" the deputy commander decided after thinking about it.
Just when everyone was looking at Wang Ping with envy, the deputy commander changed the subject and continued.
"However, a special merit is too little for Wang Ping..."
"Now the profit is 10,000 yuan a month, and in the future it will be 15,000 yuan, or even 20,000 yuan in profit. More importantly, this profit is endless. Just give Wang Ping a personal special merit.
That’s too stingy!”
"Old Li may not know yet, but Wang Ping informed me that the most indispensable thing now is special merit and first-class merit!"
Seeing everyone's disbelieving expressions, the deputy commander directly ordered: "Wang Ping, tell Lao Li yourself how much credit you have for this!"
"This..." Wang Ping looked hesitant and didn't know how to answer.
I am already famous enough in the military academy. If I am also so famous in the Ministry of Economic Affairs, it will be blatantly showing off and showing off. What will other people think of me and what will my superiors think of me?
"If you are asked to say it, say it boldly!" the deputy commander ordered with a profound look on his face.
"Yes, Chief!" Wang Ping replied bravely.
"If I remember correctly, the General Headquarters issued an individual special merit once... The Eighth Route Army Headquarters issued an individual special merit once. There seemed to be four first-class merits. As for the second-class merits, there must have been ten..."
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Wang Ping hesitated for a moment and did not continue!
"You all heard it, Wang Ping hasn't mentioned the third-class merit in his hand, the first-class collective merit, and the second-class collective merit!" the deputy commander added.
At this time, Wang Ping also showed a dumbfounded expression, wondering why the deputy commander made himself so public today.
However, one thing is confirmed. After this incident, Wang Ping suddenly became a celebrity known to all cadres in Yan'an. Many people couldn't help but give a thumbs up when they mentioned Wang Ping.
Of course, no one knew the real purpose of what the deputy commander did. It was not until two years later that the real purpose and effect of what the deputy commander did today became apparent.
However, these are all things for later.
Minister Li of the Ministry of Economic Affairs also recovered from the shock and replied with a thoughtful look on his face: "I didn't expect that Wang Ping would get so much credit from you!"
"The deputy commander is right. The contribution you have made is too great. To you, a special merit is nothing!"
"Deputy Commander, I don't know what you have in mind!"
"Give her a material reward!" the deputy commander gave an astonishing reply.
The reason why the words are surprising is because the Eighth Route Army advocates equality between officers and soldiers. Those who have made meritorious service are either commended or recorded. There are almost no direct monetary rewards like this.
Seeing that everyone's mouths were open and silent, the deputy commander continued: "Five hundred yuan... In the name of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Comrade Wang Ping will be awarded five hundred yuan personally!"
"In recognition of his contribution to the instant noodle factory and the Ministry of Economic Affairs!"
Seeing Wang Ping's mouth open and silent, the deputy commander followed closely and added: "Why, five hundred yuan is missing... If it is less, I will reward you with a thousand yuan!"
For the Eighth Route Army, one thousand yuan was definitely a huge amount of income.
You know, in the Eighth Route Army, a cadre once embezzled dozens of dollars and was shot.
For front-line combat troops, one thousand yuan is definitely enough to support the main regiment for several months.
But now, the deputy commander actually rewarded himself with such a large sum of money.
Although this approach of the deputy commander seems to many people to be in conflict with many systems of the Eighth Route Army and sets a precedent. However, only Wang Ping, a future person from later generations, knows about it.
Although material rewards are very realistic, they are more useful than any spiritual rewards.
We are all human beings, and we are human beings who have to live. Not everyone can accept the so-called spiritual rewards when we don’t even have enough to eat.
Just when everyone thought Wang Ping would refuse, he actually agreed.
"Chief, I want five hundred yuan ~ but I also have a proposal!"
