Chapter 594 Ten Thousand Yuan Household
Zhengzhou, Railway Station New Square,
In the summer evening, the heat of the day gradually faded away. After a busy day, citizens came out of their homes and gathered in this open square to enjoy the rare coolness and comfort of the summer night.
On the west side of the square,
A five-story railway station office building and a new waiting hall with a construction area of 4000 square meters are undergoing the final sprint!
There is a banner hanging on the top of the building, which reads,
"Fight for the last fifty days and present a gift to the National Day!"
In the square, old people were fanning themselves with simple palm-leaf fans, sitting leisurely on their own stools, and gathering in groups of three or five, chatting about family matters or reminiscing about stories from the past.
The children were like happy little deer, playing and laughing in the crowd, chasing each other, and their clear laughter echoed in the square, adding endless vitality to this summer night. Some children were still holding tightly in their hands the popsicles they had just bought from street vendors, eating until their faces were covered with sweet juice, looking very cute!
In the open space of the square, several folk artists set up their stage, attracting many citizens to stop and watch. One skilled artist, with his clappers clapping loudly and telling humorous jokes, made everyone laugh.
An old man next to them was concentrating on performing the traditional art of making dough figurines. Lifelike dough figurines were born in his hands, and the children watched with their eyes wide open, looking forward to having a little dough figurine of their own.
Dagang rode his tricycle and brought his two children to the square again, just like yesterday!
His stall was filled with all kinds of goods from the Mulan Special Zone, including glasses, shoes, flashlights, lighters, cigarettes, and so on.
He has been feeling a little worried lately.
The goods are not selling as fast as the previous batches.
Now many competitors have emerged, and everyone is pushing prices down, which causes his profits to continue to decline!
After all, his job was simple, which was reselling. Many people smelled the business opportunity and followed suit.
Although the income is low, fortunately the expenses have also been reduced a lot. The grain price this month has dropped by more than half compared to April. The yield of winter wheat in Zhengzhou has increased by 10% due to the use of fertilizers from Mulan Special Zone during the topdressing period.
However, Dagang was not too worried. He had already made his first fortune. He actually had 20,000 yuan in cash! He could exchange it for 20,000 kilograms of food! He was a millionaire!
Dagang had been planning to move to a new house, but after visiting the Mulan Special District, he was not impressed by the brick and tile houses on Dehua Street.
Night slowly falls,
Almost in an instant, the twelve street lamps in the square lit up at once. The bright and warm light instantly dispelled the darkness of the night and illuminated the entire square as if it were daytime.
"It's bright! It's bright!" The crowd cheered, the children jumped for joy, and the adults were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. People raised their heads and looked at the bright lights, their eyes full of amazement and joy.
Dagang was not surprised at all. He didn't even bring candles tonight because his wife Guifen knew that the city would be supplying electricity tonight.
Not long after, Guifen, who had finished washing the dishes, came over with a palm-leaf fan and a basket, bringing a few watermelons!
The two children rushed over excitedly.
Guifen said to Dagang,
"Dad, the work at the power plant is done, and the construction team is going to work on the Third Elementary School in the city. How about letting me go with them?"
"Still cooking? I want to open a shop. You are responsible for looking after the store and I will be in charge of purchasing the goods. How about that?" Dagang didn't want his wife to earn the 500 yuan per month. Now with his monthly income, he even thought it was a bit too low!
"What's wrong with cooking? When food prices went up some time ago, didn't I have to bring some meat and other things from the construction site for the children every day?" Guifen was unhappy when she heard that!
"Besides, what if you don't make any money one day when you're trading goods? The construction team said they have to work in Zhengzhou for three years and there's too much work to do!"
Dagang was silent for a while. Zhengzhou was indeed undergoing a lot of construction right now. Even Dehua Street and Jiefang Road had begun to be renovated with cement roads, and it would be completed next month.
What my wife said makes sense. You really shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket!
"I'm worried about the two children often being home alone during the day!" Dagang defended.
"Haven't you heard that from September 9st, all school-age children in the city must go to school, and it's free until they graduate from high school?"
The Mulan Special Zone allocated 5 million yuan to the four assisted cities, allowing them to start the -year compulsory education activities like Mulan. In terms of education, Yin Xinjun has always attached great importance to it! He is also willing to invest!
"Oh, okay, then I'll listen to you. I need to find a helper. It's too tiring to do it alone. I plan to ask my sister to come and help me!" said Dagang.
"Okay, no problem, you do yours and I'll do mine!" Guifen is also quick-witted!
Beijing,
In the office of Director Chen of the Economic Commission,
Director Chen gave earnest advice,
"Now that the cities have just been liberated, they are extremely poor. You should support their request for credit first!"
Yin Xinjun frowned and said without thinking,
"Director Chen, this won't work. Our quotations are all at cost price. If we continue like this, our Mulan Special District will definitely be dragged down. We have selflessly contributed a lot in military industry and construction. If other cities want to develop, they must act according to the contract. We must have both a planned economy and a market economy, and the market economy should account for the majority!"
Today, Director Chen called Yin Xinjun over for one thing. All the cities across the country wanted to develop in leaps and bounds, but they had no money, so they asked Director Chen to buy on credit first and pay the money slowly!
The two had a fierce dispute over this. Yin Xinjun firmly disagreed. If this continued, huge triangular debts would be incurred. His current investment in military industry, aid construction, etc. was huge. Even if he owned more than 50 mines and more than a dozen production lines, he still felt a little overwhelmed!
Director Chen's face also looked a little ugly, and he said unhappily,
"Comrade Yin Xinjun, please don't make the mistake of departmentalism!"
Yin Xinjun was also a little excited.
"Director, this is not parochialism. If we continue to do this, the gains will outweigh the losses. We will cultivate a large number of lazy people who will only wait and rely on others instead of thinking of ways to develop productivity. What's more serious is that the development achievements of Mulan Special Zone may be destroyed. Socialism does not mean big pot meals!"
"Okay! Then I'll think of other ways!" Director Chen was a little helpless. He didn't expect Yin Xinjun's attitude to be so firm!
Yin Xinjun also said slowly,
"If the country wants to focus on developing a region or an industry, it can adjust its monetary policy and provide support from top to bottom, but it cannot create triangular debts. In the end, the country will still have to pick up the pieces, and by that time, the losses will be very heavy!"
But Yin Xinjun, who has lived two lives, knows that only after the reform and opening up did the country embark on a development path that combines market economy with planned economy and finally found the right direction. Before that, many methods explored had been proven to be wrong by practice.
