Without their daughter's help, Li Qingmei and her husband worked hard for three months to collect eggs and farm vegetables before they could save the one thousand yuan they borrowed from Qiu Yuling.
When Qiu Jianshe was about to go collect the eggs again, she stopped him and said, "I'll go with you. I got a stack of handkerchiefs from Xiao Wang. You collect the eggs and I'll sell the handkerchiefs."
Li Qingmei was unsure and originally wanted to take some socks or something, but then she thought about testing the waters first.
The two men each rode a bicycle. Thanks to Qiu Yuling giving them drugs every day, no one dared to believe that this was the skill of a sixty-year-old.
The old couple were not young anymore. They hung two wooden boxes on each bicycle and rode without getting red in the face or out of breath.
Others just think that they have achieved this through years of hard training.
When Qiu Yuling returned, the old couple had already been transferred to Chengzi Township for quite some time, shopping in both places and working as mobile vendors.
Taking advantage of the information gap, they brought the free-market Liberation shoes that did not require tickets, as well as some small items like needles and thread, to the countryside. When they came back, they brought fresh fruits and vegetables back to the city and went to the morning market the next day.
Qiu Yuling was stunned.
"No, how long have you two been doing this?"
As soon as Qiu Yuling put her luggage back home, she hurried to give her parents the gifts she had brought from her fourth uncle's house.
"It's been a while. The weather was too hot a while ago, and sometimes the eggs were covered and shaken. Plus, someone had already stored them for a while, so your father and I didn't know about it and took them back directly. But when we opened them, they were rotten.
Later, we thought of changing our strategy. When we had some free time, we would look at the market to see what other people were selling, and then slowly pick up some small items. I only picked up shoes and socks the last two times, and you know what, as soon as we got there, they were all sold out.”
Li Qingmei became more and more excited as she spoke. She felt she had found a business opportunity that could even make more money than selling eggs. "...This thing can't be broken or damaged. If the price wasn't so high, it would really be a good business.
But I'm not afraid. If I take less, I won't be burdened with goods, and I won't be anxious. Your father and I are not like those young people who want to make a name for ourselves. We earn as much as we can, as long as we don't have time to eat..."
What else could Qiu Yuling say? Parents being too strong-willed can sometimes be a burden. She could only repeatedly remind them to do things within their capabilities.
Everything was moving in a better direction, and Qiu Yuling entered the second stage of the contract management responsibility system for state-owned large factories.
At the meeting, economists pointed out the common problems faced by most factories today. "... our factory has gone through a phase of decentralization and profit sharing, expanding enterprise autonomy. Enterprises have gained a certain degree of autonomy in production planning, product sales, and capital use.
This phase has, to a certain extent, mobilized the enthusiasm of enterprises and employees, and enterprises have a certain amount of funds for technological transformation and employee rewards."
The meeting leader paused. "But some problems have also emerged. For example, some companies only focus on short-term profits and ignore long-term development strategies; the profit distribution relationship between the state and enterprises is not rational enough..."
Qiu Yuling sat in the front row. She attended the conference not only as a legislator, but also as an outstanding entrepreneur to attend the lecture.
After graduating from graduate school, she took advantage of her connections on campus and built a huge network of relationships.
In recent years, the development of Zaohua Factory is comparable to the speed of the two bombs and one satellite.
The equipment has been constantly upgraded. In addition to ensuring basic employee benefits, she has invested all the profits into scientific and technological improvements.
While most large manufacturers are facing the above-mentioned drawbacks, Zaohua Factory has taken the lead and captured the European and American markets with absolute advantages. Its high-end cleaning products and daily necessities have won the hearts of the domestic people.
As she listened, she wrote furiously in her work notes, only to hear her superior continue, "... In view of comprehensive considerations, we will implement the contract management responsibility system. Through the signing of contracting contracts, the rights and obligations between enterprise operators and the state will be clarified.
Contracting targets primarily include profit remittances and technological transformation tasks. For example, as the contractor for an enterprise, a factory director (manager) must ensure that a certain amount of profit is remitted to the state, while also being responsible for the enterprise's technological transformation and product quality.
Now, we invite our outstanding entrepreneur, associate professor of economics, and outstanding Party member and cadre of the Development and Reform Commission’s pioneer team, Comrade Qiu Yuling, to come to the stage and speak about the outstanding achievements of Zaohua Comprehensive Factory..."
Qiu Yuling slowly walked to the podium, put the manuscript aside, and began to talk without even looking at the manuscript again during the whole talk.
"Comrades, I am honored to be here and discuss this topic with all of you outstanding comrades..."
After the meeting, Qiu Yuling was surrounded by people. "Comrade Qiu, I want to learn from you about the requirements of management science that you just mentioned at the meeting. Please guide us..."
Scientific management requires constraints from top to bottom, and it cannot be achieved with just a conceptual statement.
The development of a factory certainly cannot depend on one individual, but the pattern of those in power affects important decisions about development, and naturally brings different fruits of labor.
Qiu Yuling smiled and replied perfunctorily, "...As for details, you can attend my lectures at Peking University later. I've arranged a series of lectures there. After all, this isn't something that can be explained in just a few words."
Qiu Yuling is now in the prime of her life. Her elegant conversation, smooth and experienced methods, measured strategies, and advanced ideas that are at the forefront of the times give her a mysterious personal charm.
This kind of charm has surpassed the doubts brought about by her appearance. In addition, she is valued by her superiors, but she always insists on her own ideas, which makes her character more precious. Everyone who has dealt with her a few times has praised her.
Several ambitious entrepreneurs actually went to listen to Qiu Yuling's class.
But they didn't expect that it would be even more...
They arrived not too late, and the seats were still full, with some even standing in the back to listen.
Qiu Yuling simulates a real case at each stage, crowdfunding ideas in class, dividing business partners according to different ideas, and then letting those in the same camp simulate operations based on their business models.
Camps with different philosophies are in healthy competition with each other. Everyone simulates the speed of their own company's rise and fall under this operating policy, as well as the strategies they will adopt when facing corresponding market fluctuations, and the resulting final outcome.
Although it is just theoretical talk and we cannot say which one is better or worse, through this teaching simulation and pros and cons analysis, everyone can find out each other's strengths and weaknesses, as well as the outlook for the future market.
This is much more useful than simply reading out those rules and regulations. It cultivates either economic giants or people who can influence the direction of the general trend in the future.
