Chapter 259: Crossing the River by Feeling the Stonesshuhaige.net



Xiao Jun held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and his whole body gave people a feeling of extreme stiffness, very much like the zombies wearing Qing Dynasty costumes in the movies played by Lin Zhengying.

"Relax! This is the steering wheel, not your wife. Why are you holding on so tightly? Why are you nervous at such a slow speed? Just like that, just like that! Keep going."

One minute later.

"Brother, isn't such a wide playground enough for you to run?" Wan Feng asked unhappily.

"That's enough."

"Then what did you mean by driving into the ditch at the edge of the square? Did you think it was shallow enough for a tractor to drive into it?"

"What should we do then?"

"Turn! You're holding the steering wheel like it's a painting!"

"Which way should we turn?"

"It's such a big square, you can turn any direction you want as long as you're not heading forward."

This guy just kept holding the steering wheel and moving forward without knowing how to turn. Aren't you such a troublemaker?

Xiao Jun turned left, thought about it, and then turned right. Fortunately, the tractor did not go into the ditch.

But the next problem arose. After turning the steering wheel, the tractor didn't know how to turn back, so it kept spinning in circles.

Wan Feng really wanted to kick him unconscious.

"Were you a donkey pulling a millstone in your previous life? Why are you spinning around in circles? Let go!"

Xiao Jun instinctively let go of his hands and the steering wheel slowly returned to its original position.

Wan Feng was sweating.

After more than ten minutes, Xiao Jun was finally able to control the tractor in low gear and move it like a snail in the open field.

Finally he was able to get off the tractor. Wan Feng jumped off the front of the vehicle, ran to the side and sat on the ground.

This is more tiring than driving a tractor to deliver bricks himself.

Zhang Hai, who had been watching from a distance, saw that Wan Feng was free, so he walked over and sat down next to Wan Feng.

"What's the matter with you teaching him to drive a tractor?"

"He will be our tractor driver in the future."

“But why not train our own people?”

Wan Feng glanced at Zhang Hai and said, "Don't be so narrow-minded, okay? You're going to be the brigade secretary in the future, so you need to be tolerant and forgiving."

"We also need people who can drive. He is just an outsider."

"What do you think he would do if I asked him to process water blocks or cement tiles for you?"

Zhang Hai was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"You are such a scoundrel, it's a pity my daughter is too young, otherwise I would have to marry you."

"Okay! If I were to marry a second or third wife in the future, I would definitely consider your daughter."

Zhang Hai was at a loss for words: "You still want to marry someone with two or three bedrooms?"

"I am such a capable person, how can I be a daughter-in-law?"

"Aren't you afraid that Luan Feng will pull your belly and draw lots on you?"

Wan Feng: Hehehe!

"nephew…"

"Uncle Zhang Hai, can we unify our address? When you need me, you call me nephew, but when you don't need me, you call me dick, dick. You should be honest."

"Haha, this suggestion makes sense. I can consider it later."

Is this something we need to consider later?

"Let me ask you something. If we take over the contract, will we also contract out all the projects and everything, like the land, the mountains, the forests, the rivers, the mules, the horses, the carts, and even this brick factory? Then, will I still be useful as the team leader?"

This is indeed a problem.

Wan Feng gave it a quick thought and answered, "That won't work. We can't outsource everything. We need to have both public and private interests. If we outsource everything, it will just become a mess."

The next stage of contracting is privatization. When the country began its reform and opening up, it did not contract out everything for privatization. Although many people tried hard to promote full privatization, the country remained unmoved. After 2011, there were even signs that some important projects were being re-nationalized.

After decades of development, the decision-makers have also realized that complete privatization is absolutely unworkable. Because capitalists are only interested in profit, they do not care about the lives of the people or the social unrest.

They will do anything to profit, driven by profit, and will only frantically amass wealth and drive up prices for various items. The direct consequence of total privatization is an increased burden on the people, which will lead to public dissatisfaction. If this problem is not properly addressed, it will lead to social instability.

Therefore, the state must control some of these important industries to carry out macro-control.

Although Wahou is not that large in size and there is no need to worry about unrest, if it wants to develop, it must retain its core industries. Land and forests can be contracted out, but industry cannot be contracted out.

Wan Feng knew that once all these were contracted out, the industry in Wahou would be reduced to its current scale, just a brick and tile factory, and there would not be a second industry.

Because when the prospects are unclear, no one will invest in risky projects.

Don't invest in new projects. Many companies don't even keep the old ones after being contracted out. He has seen too many companies that were originally very promising disappear because of poor management after being contracted out.

"Land, forests, and riverbeds can be contracted out, but brick and tile factories and future industries cannot. These must be collectively owned. This is the foundation of development, provided that leaders are free of corruption."

"Cock, you're mocking me again."

This name cannot be changed.

Zhang Hai nodded. "I'm also thinking that we can't just outsource everything, because then the whole thing will fall apart."

It was not easy for Zhang Hai to see this step. If all aspects of a country are privately controlled, it is no different from falling apart. Just like the Western developed countries that fell into crisis in later generations, they were just empty shells controlled by others.

"If that's the case, how are the wages calculated? Once the contract is signed, work points will definitely disappear."

"We can continue with the previous system this year. By the end of the year, we'll know how much profit the brick and tile factory has made. We can use this profit as a reference to set next year's wage standards and calculate wages accordingly. At the end of the year, after deducting all expenses, part of the remaining profit will be deposited into public funds to deal with emergencies and to provide working capital for expanding reproduction. The rest will be distributed to the villagers in the form of equity and dividends."

Zhang Hai was a little confused. In fact, Wan Feng was also a little confused. These things were things that he had not come into contact with much in his previous life. He only knew a general idea. If he was asked to give a specific answer, he would not know.

But that's the general idea, and the details need to be studied slowly.

"That's fine, since no one has ever experienced this before, let's just cross the river by feeling the stones."

Zhang Hai was crossing the river by feeling the stones, and so was Xiao Jun, except that this guy was a bit fierce.

"This speed is too slow, can it be faster?"

This is a typical example of an idiot who wants to run before learning to walk.
