"Haha, my horizons have been opened today. Okay, little Liu Lang, please sit down and let's officially start the class!"
Wu He no longer struggled with the issue of Liu Lang's age. Since the principal gave permission, he would just listen.
"Let me ask you a question first and see who can answer it. Our country started reform and opening up in 1977. I want to ask, who knows what the core meaning of reform and opening up is? Who can answer it?"
Wu He asked a question.
There was silence in the classroom. These students were only first-year students. Although they had all heard of reform and opening up, not many people knew its true meaning.
"Professor Wu, can I answer?"
Liu Lang immediately raised his hand.
"Okay! Little classmate Liu Lang, please tell me!"
Wu He nodded.
"The current reform and opening up is to transform our country's economic system, from a planned economy to a private economy, liberalize the market, and make the market full of vitality!"
Liu Lang replied.
"Oh! That's awesome!"
Wu He was shocked and his expression became wonderful.
"You gave a good answer, little Liu Lang. This is the real core of reform and opening up...where did you know that?"
"I saw it in the newspaper!"
Liu Lang replied.
"Saw it in the newspaper? Incredible, incredible!"
Professor Wu He shook his head repeatedly.
"Did you hear it? Liu Lang's answer was very good. Let me ask another question, why do we need to transform from a planned economy to a private economy? Who can answer it?"
"Professor Wu, of course the national planned economy cannot be implemented, and the only way to go is the private economy!"
Liu Lang answered again.
"Holy shit!"
Wu He looked at Liu Lang with a completely different look now, his eyes were shining, as if this child was a treasure.
"Well said, let me ask you, little classmate Liu Lang, do you think the private economy is a feasible path?"
Wu He walked directly from the podium to Liu Lang and asked.
"Of course it will work. Not only will it work, but it will also work well in the future. I always firmly believe it!"
Liu Lang replied.
"Haha, well said, well said!"
Wu He was a loyal supporter of the market economy. Hearing Liu Lang's words made him even happier than flattering him with thousands of words.
"Kid Liu Lang, what basis do you have?"
Wu He asked again.
But this time Liu Lang shrugged and didn't answer. If he answered again, the whole thing would be revealed.
"Oh! By the way, how old are you, but the height of these two questions of yours has surpassed that of many people... Are you really a student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering? Why don't you transfer to my Department of Economics to study!"
Liu Lang's answer made Wu He feel like he had found a close friend. It would be in vain for a student with such knowledge not to study economics.
Liu Lang smiled and did not answer the other party.
The economy is of course important. Even though Wu He's current theory has been questioned by many people, it will definitely be accepted by the entire country in the future. This is the general trend. It doesn't matter whether he has it or not. Of course he won't want to get involved.
"This kid is very spiritual. Why did he go to the Department of Mechanical Engineering to study those stupid and crude things? No, wait until I go back and talk to Zhao Tianming to see if I can transfer him to the School of Economics."
He has now begun to have Liu Lang's ideas.
Wu He gently patted Liu Lang on the shoulder, then walked up to the podium and continued.
"Our country has implemented a planned economy since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has indeed achieved great results in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, there have also been mistakes in decision-making that have led to losses for the country... Let me give you an example. In the 1960s,
, our country’s GDP is 30% more than that of neighboring country RB, and last year
, that is, in 1982, do you know what the GDP of our two countries was? Do you know? Let me tell you, the GDP of RB is five times that of our country. Think about it, a small place with a population
It is a small island country that is one-tenth of our country, but its GDP is five times that of ours. What a huge gap!"
"Ah! Five times!"
Everyone took a breath of "coolness" after hearing Professor Wu He's words. The gap was really too big.
"This gap lies in the difference in economic systems. More than 90% of enterprises in RB and Western societies are private enterprises, which is exactly the opposite of our country. What are the benefits of private enterprises? That is, they are responsible for their own profits and losses. You can't make money, then
Just drink the northwest wind, no one will care about you, if you make money, then eat meat and drink wine, and live a wonderful life. This kind of guilt
The current pressure determines that private enterprises must work hard to do a good job, otherwise they will be doomed! But now our country's state-owned enterprises are just the opposite. They do not have this kind of pressure. They are like monks beating the clock every day, and they are paid anyway.
It doesn’t matter, think about it, how can such an enterprise develop? It will not escape death in the end!”
To say that state-owned enterprises cannot escape death was "appalling" even in 1983.
"Professor Wu, what do you think our country's enterprises should do?"
a classmate asked.
"Of course we have to embark on the path of private economy!"
The other party answered.
"Professor Wu, we are a socialist country, and the private economy represents the exploiting class. If we embark on the road of privatization, wouldn't we be indulging in capitalism?"
One student immediately retorted.
"Okay, your idea is the same as that of many people... Let me give you another example. I was doing research in Huizhou Province two years ago. There was a man named Nian Changchang who was uneducated and didn't even know a few Chinese characters. But he had a
I know how to fry melon seeds, which are very delicious. In 1979, farmers in Huizhou Province began to practice wrapping them.
He was the first to respond when the crops were delivered to each household. He planted all the melon seeds on the contracted land and gave it a resounding name: Fool's Melon Seeds. Because of his good craftsmanship and honest people, he bought 10,000 Fool's Melon Seeds in the first year.
Yuan, this is 10,000 yuan! And it is the income within one year, everyone should listen clearly!"
Wu He emphasized this point.
"Ten thousand yuan!"
All the students’ eyes were wide open. This was really an astronomical figure.
"In 1980, his melon seed business expanded and the family could not handle it, so he hired five people and paid them fifty-three yuan a month. Listen up, everyone, every month in 1980
How many of your parents can earn fifty-three yuan?"
Almost all the students shook their heads. At more than fifty yuan a month, that is generally an income that only a fifth-level worker can earn, and those who have reached the fifth-level engineering degree are almost fifty years old.
"But five people were still not enough, so he hired workers again, and three more people. Now he had eight workers to work for him. Eight workers, which is in line with the characteristics of capitalism, is the exploitation of these eight people.
, he was immediately reported to the government, and the government immediately arrested him. As a result, all eight people were "liberated"!
But these eight "liberated" people quit working. Before they were hired by Nian Chang, they couldn't even wear clothes. After being hired by Nian Chang, they had an income of more than fifty yuan a month. They could eat meat.
Put on your clothes, now Nian Changjiang has been arrested for exploiting their wealth, and the eight of them have no enough food and clothing to keep warm. Let me ask you, who did Nian Changjiang exploit?"
When Wu He asked this, everyone was silent. Yes, making a fortune for many years while also making the lives of eight workers better, is not exploitation in any way!
