"So you're a young comrade!" Although he said so, Li Zhiyong's tone was full of praise. "It's true that the Yangtze River's waves behind push forward the waves ahead. Comrade Zhang Xingrong, do you have any suggestions or opinions on the employment of educated youth returning to the city?"
"No opinions." Zhang Xingrong smiled, "But I do have a small suggestion."
"Look, young people are great, they have quick minds. Let's talk about it!"
Zhang Xingrong combined his memories from his past life and said, "First of all, I think we can encourage the establishment of small factories based on streets."
This is not nonsense, it has a basis. She remembers that Shanghai did this and solved the employment problems of many educated youth returning to the city.
"This won't work!"
Immediately, people from several factories came out to object.
"You can't just run a factory by yourself. The city is different from the countryside. In the countryside, you can be casual, but the city is not a place for casualness. Running a factory requires space, machines, and workers. These are not trivial matters. How can you just do it casually?"
"What can a small factory produce? This is nonsense!"
"Quiet!" The person next to Li Zhiyong shouted in an extremely serious tone, and everyone finally quieted down.
Li Zhiyong was also very serious: "Some comrades should learn to listen to others' opinions before refuting them. We are all veteran comrades, how can we not even have this little patience? Moreover, we are all veteran comrades, whether in the city or in the countryside, the land is ours, we are all the same, and we cannot be treated differently!"
The old comrades below did not dare to speak casually at this time, but it was obvious that they still did not take Zhang Xingrong, the young girl who had just started out, seriously.
"Young comrade, please continue. Your idea is quite novel. How should the subdistrict establish small-scale factories?"
Zhang Xingrong nodded. She didn't rush to discuss how to build a small factory, but first analyzed the demand: "Everyone knows that our provincial capital has many large factories, and the output of these large factories is not low. However, the provincial capital has a large population, and people usually rush to buy things in department stores or supply and marketing cooperatives. Yet, many people still can't buy anything. This is the situation in the provincial capital, but in fact, the situation in counties, cities, and rural towns is the same, and the demand is even greater than in the provincial capital. Now it's the same everywhere, many things are in short supply. Since supply is insufficient to meet demand, why can't we produce more to meet the needs of the general public?"
This does make some sense, as many things are indeed in short supply.
They have large factories in the provincial capital that produce everything from daily necessities. However, in the county towns and rural areas, there are no such factories. Therefore, many products need to be shipped from the large factories in the provincial capital to the supply and marketing cooperatives, which then ship them to other places for sale.
This means that the demand in the provincial capital must be met before it can be supplied to other places. In many places, including the provincial capital, the supply cannot meet the demand.
The phrase "in short supply" is well used!
"Comrade, your analysis is very good, so it is feasible to establish this small factory."
"That's right." Zhang Xingrong nodded. "Street-level small-unit factories, as the name suggests, are small workshops established by the street office. Small workshops can't afford machines, so they can make handicrafts. Alternatively, they can import some small machines and operate them. They can make a wide range of things, such as daily necessities, clothing, towels, quilts, bedding, sheets, mosquito nets, socks, etc., mops, and even wooden combs. These daily necessities are in great demand."
