The old man had worked in a factory before and had a certain understanding of business operations, but times have changed. In that era, people generally had a sense of ownership because the working class itself had a high political status.
However, with the reform and opening up, both the national economy and business operations are facing transformation. The role of capital will become greater and greater, the status of workers will decline rapidly, and the power of management will become greater and greater. It was difficult to maintain the original mentality. maintained.
The management model that relies on employee consciousness will become increasingly unreliable. The thinking of business operations must be changed, and institutionalized management must be put on the agenda.
This is true not only for enterprises, but also for all walks of life in China at this stage. It is still in an extensive stage. In many cases, it is still governed by people, and rules, regulations, laws and regulations are not perfect.
Although this is highly flexible, it also brings great uncertainty. Especially in the context of market economic transformation, it brings great trouble to capital and also affects the performance of the invisible hand of the market economy.
After Zhao Yi's explanation just now, the old man has a more specific understanding of the way enterprises operate in a market economy environment, and he also has a specific direction for the country's next economic reform.
But after all this going around and talking, Zhao Yi still hasn’t come up with a solution on how to solve the contradiction between the shortage of financial funds and the provision of comprehensive education.
After Zhao Yi finished drinking tea, the old man asked directly: "I have benefited a lot from the questions you just mentioned, and they have provided important ideas for our country's next economic reform.
However, these are only long-term problems and cannot be solved all at once. Economic development will still proceed step by step. Especially when it comes to the reform of state-owned enterprises, we cannot rush it. After all, one issue affects the whole body.
Since the reform of state-owned enterprises cannot be accomplished overnight, economic development is unlikely to achieve a sudden development in the short term. Although the financial situation will be improved to a certain extent, it will not be enough to support this huge plan.
So you haven't come up with a solution yet, but I'm still thinking about it. "
Zhao Yi emphasized the importance of fairness in order to make the country think about implementing the comprehensive education plan as soon as possible instead of implementing it slowly.
Because with the rapid economic development in recent years, more and more people with certain knowledge are needed to engage in labor with certain technical content.
If we follow the pace of development in the previous life, we can temporarily solve the problem if we take our time, but under current circumstances, the backwardness of education has posed a huge obstacle to economic development.
Zhao Yi's analysis of the international situation emphasized the urgency of economic development and indirectly emphasized the necessity of rapid development of education. Although education cannot directly generate economic value, it has a strong role in promoting social and economic development.
When explaining the ways and means to expand domestic demand, I hope that the country can pay attention to this aspect and hope for rapid economic development, but it should not overemphasize industrial production, but also find ways to expand domestic demand and form a cycle both at home and abroad.
Of course, this digression will cause problems in business management, which also involves the current management of state-owned enterprises. Through the market-oriented operation of state-owned enterprises, it will lead to the topic of finance.
Although the process is relatively cumbersome, it is full of useful information and does not feel boring at all. However, since this meeting raised the issue of comprehensive implementation of compulsory education across the country, the matter must be resolved.
“I believe that our country’s economy will achieve great development in the future, and the problem of people’s education will no longer be a problem. However, the current economic development has not yet reached a certain level, and it is temporarily unable to meet the education problems of all citizens.
However, with the rapid development of our country's economy in recent years, education has become an obstacle to continued rapid economic development. We must solve this problem in order to continue to allow the economy to flourish.
As I analyzed just now, time waits for no one. We must solve all these problems within a limited time and at the same time reach a certain height.
In response to this problem, I boldly proposed an idea, which is to contract national education. "After Zhao Yi said this, he stopped talking and looked at the old man's face silently.
Because from ancient times to the present, no one person or organization has dared to undertake the education of the entire country. On the one hand, the funds consumed are huge and cannot be afforded by one person or organization.
On the other hand, national education involves the stability of the country and is a basic welfare provided by the country to its citizens. If some bad phenomena occur during the implementation process, it will have a huge impact on the country and the people.
Especially in our country, which has always been a strong government, it is more cautious about private education, not to mention that education across the country has been handed over to contractors.
So although it was a few simple words, the issues involved were so big that Zhao Yi was a little cautious. He needed to make enough preparations before he could confidently throw out this solution.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Yi's words, the old man looked at him with shocked eyes. As someone who has lived from the revolutionary era to today, his state of mind at this time was affected by Zhao Yi's simple words. This fully explained that This is a big deal.
The old man never expected that Zhao Yi's solution would be like this. This completely subverted his imagination. Even if he told it, it would subvert the imagination of people all over the world.
Now there is only one question mark left for the old man. Regardless of the impact on the country, he cannot answer it here. This requires collective discussion by the central government.
What he didn't understand was what benefit this would bring to Zhao Yi. You must know that Zhao Yi's current identity is just a businessman. Businessmen are all profit-seeking, and it is obvious that this decision will not bring him any money. The benefits will even be transferred a lot.
Since he couldn't get any benefits from money, the old man unconsciously thought of other aspects. Anyway, he felt that Zhao Yi's ambition was not small.
If he is seeking political power, it seems inconsistent with Zhao Yi's usual personality, because Zhao Yi has always stayed away from politics since he made his fortune, and has rarely been involved. The limited few times he was forced to participate were due to the needs of industrial development. of.
If he wanted to gain huge prestige, it would not be consistent with his usual style. Although many of his companies have become international giants and his wealth is countless, he has chosen to downplay it.
If other people had one ten thousandth of his wealth, as long as they didn't hide it deliberately, they would definitely have a huge reputation. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that in the domestic business community, they would definitely be echoed by a hundred people.
But he didn't do that. He still lived a solitary life, without any sign of a successful young man.
These aspects are not consistent. The old man really doesn't know what Zhao Yi wants. If he doesn't want anything, he is not a normal person, not even a human being. He wants to give a beggar a few cents and want to have peace of mind.
The old man couldn't think of anything, so he had to ask directly: "What are you planning?"
When Zhao heard the old man's words, he felt strange. He knew that if he wanted the plan to proceed, he must answer this question. If he did not answer this question, the government would never agree.
What he didn't expect was that the old man asked so directly, thinking that he would use indirect ways to understand his intentions.
Just like the long speech I used above, now it seems that I still take it for granted and be too naive.
This may be related to the fact that he has not had close contact with many political figures, or it may be that the old man is actually like this, but he just didn't notice it before.
Zhao Yi sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said slowly: "I believe the government is well aware of my wealth in the country. After all, my business pays taxes according to regulations. To be arrogant, I can say that I am truly wealthy. Enemy country.”
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, the old man nodded. If this sentence were said by others, it would definitely be arrogant, but when he said it, it was true, because the GDP contributed by his domestic enterprises accounted for 1% of the national GDP. More than 60%.
Although his wealth is really inconsistent with the current national system, they have not thought about limiting it, because they know that people like Zhao Yi can achieve such achievements even if they do not develop domestically, they can develop abroad.
This kind of person is born to be a dragon or a phoenix among men, and it is impossible to restrict him casually. We can only allow him to continue to fly high and create greater miracles.
This is no longer the past era, where personal freedom can be restricted at will. What's more, Zhao Yi is not unknown. He is an internationally famous mathematician and has huge wealth overseas.
If he really does this, not only will the current reform and opening up process be interrupted, but there will even be strong opposition from foreign forces. These effects are actually one of the means he deployed before.
A gentleman does not build a dangerous wall. If he does not prepare some means, how can Zhao Yi dare to develop unscrupulously in the country? Even if he has good intentions, he still needs to ensure his personal safety.
"This wealth is the guarantee for the solution I just proposed. Only with huge wealth can we ensure the smooth implementation of the plan just now.
The ancients said that there are three levels of pursuit in life. The first level is material, the second level is spiritual, and the third level is soul.
Material pursuit is easy to understand. With my wealth, I have definitely reached this level. Even if I don’t do anything now, I can still squander it for the rest of my life.
Spiritual pursuits, including psychological needs such as recognition, respect, praise, and a sense of accomplishment, I think have been basically met. Whether it is academic achievements or financial achievements, this level of pursuit is satisfied.
Soul pursuit transcends material and spiritual pursuits, including selflessness, a sense of mission, religious beliefs, etc.
Selflessness is too mysterious and cannot be understood by normal people. As an atheist, religious belief is not what I want to pursue.
What is left is a sense of mission. I believe that all of you seniors who have come from the revolutionary era should have a sense of mission. Only a sense of mission can make people not empty and overcome all dangers and difficulties until they achieve the goals in their hearts.
So people of your generation can be said to have reached the third level of life pursuits, and I am the same now, and I also hope to pursue something at the third level. "(End of chapter)
