Chapter 587 Three-Year Plan (3)

Yin Xinjun's words about the bank made Director Chen's brain freeze up for a long time.

"This...this...is this also possible?"

Yin Xinjun smiled and said,

"On the surface, the bank lost some money, but it brought about a vibrant economy, people's desire to invest and consume was at the forefront, and the city's fiscal revenue increased significantly every year. In the end, when the accounts were tallied, the government certainly still made money!"

Director Chen closed his eyes and thought.

Yin Xinjun continued to explain,

"However, Mulan Bank is not state-owned. From the time it was founded, the registered capital was paid by me personally. At that time, we even issued our own currency in Mulan!"

Director Chen nodded and said,

"There is a lot of controversy about the Mulan Special Zone's support for the individual economy. Some comrades say that the purpose of our revolution is to overthrow the capitalists, but now we are taking the initiative to cultivate capitalists!"

Yin Xinjun curled his lips and said,

"That's because they don't understand the difference between bureaucratic capital and national capital! We should have known that human nature is selfish and profit-seeking. When we develop the economy, we must fully consider this point. Can state-owned enterprises take on all the responsibilities? If it weren't for outsourcing and encouraging individual economy, all the power of the Mulan Special Zone could only be used in military industry. Years ago, 80% of the aid to the Huaye, including dry food, bedding, and shoes, was provided by private enterprises!"

Director Chen nodded and said,

“This is the most convincing thing!”

Yin Xinjun said again,

"People are very different from each other. You have to let capable people stand out. That's how private enterprises work. If they do well, they will get more business, make more money, and their business will get bigger and bigger. They will be more efficient and contribute more to society. If everyone does it in the same pot, I don't think we can run a business well!"

Director Chen laughed and said,

"Go home, big pot meal? This term is new, but not to that extent. Now it's just some small debates, but the more successful your special zone is, the more it proves that your ideas and thoughts are correct!"

The whole country is about to be liberated. There are inevitably some controversies about the economic development model of Mulan Special Zone. Yin Xinjun comes here every month. In fact, he has another idea, which is to brainwash Director Chen! Let Director Chen slowly accept his point of view!

"That's right. It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches the mouse it's a good cat!"

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter!

Yin Xinjun said,

"Our goal is to ensure that the people have enough food to eat and become wealthy, to allow the social economy to continue to develop, and to embark on the path of an industrialized country. The government can adjust the gap between the rich and the poor, but it cannot intervene rigidly, especially for those law-abiding entrepreneurs. They cannot be suppressed, but on the contrary, they must be supported! Egalitarianism suppresses human nature, and in the end no one is willing to work hard!"

Director Chen smiled and changed the topic.

"How is the progress of the four cities' aid construction you mentioned last time?"

Yin Xinjun hurriedly reported the problems he found one by one. After some discussion, Director Chen stated that he would instruct the four cities to fully cooperate with the aid construction plan of Mulan Special Zone!

Yin Xinjun finally added,

"Now, the foundation of industrialization is education. The country must pay attention to education as soon as possible. This year, Mulan Special District has built 37 new primary and secondary schools. The enrollment rate of school-age children in the city has reached 100%, and the -year compulsory education has begun to be implemented!

I suggest that the country should attach great importance to education and plan ahead. In addition to basic education, a number of colleges and universities should be established as soon as possible! "

"Of course. It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person. This is definitely the focus of the government's work. However, at present, the whole country has not been liberated yet, and we have already planned so many things in advance!"

Director Chen was also very happy. Yin Xinjun’s statement indicated that the aid work would be intensified, which meant that the economic take-off of the four provinces in North China was about to begin!

Zhengzhou Railway Station,

A train whirred into the platform with white smoke. It was a passenger and freight train. The front four carriages were passenger cars, and the back thirty were all freight cars!

There was a banner hanging on the locomotive.

"Mulan County aids in building a special train for Zhengzhou!"

This train was on the road for a full forty hours!

Starting today, the construction work has begun to intensify, and a special train will arrive in Zhengzhou every day.

Dagang and his fellow workers ran over excitedly.

They were dumbfounded as they watched the doors of the truck compartments open one by one.

The vehicles are almost all filled with large equipment, including excavators, bulldozers, forklifts, trucks, generators, winches, tractors, various types of steel, etc., and even motorcycles and jeeps!

There are very few things that actually need to be moved manually, only two carriages!

I saw a large group of people in blue work clothes getting off the bus and running to unload the goods. They drove the moving vehicles one by one from the pedals to the platform. One of the truck cranes set up its four legs on the platform, lifted down some heavy equipment, and put them into the truck compartment!

Next came the forklift, which nimbly unloaded the boxes of packed supplies from the sealed carriages at the back.

Dagang and his group of people waited for a long time, but no one asked them for help. The train drivers finished their work by themselves!

This made Dagang a little depressed. His income was linked to the amount of work. If all trucks were unloaded like this, he would be unemployed!

A worker nearby sighed and pointed at the forklift and said, "Look, if cotton is unloaded with this in the future, what will we do?"

The most common work that Dagang and his colleagues do every year is loading and unloading cotton. Bags of cotton are sent from Shaanxi and then to all parts of the country. Zhengzhou is also the largest cotton distribution center in the country!

Another worker said,

"Why don't you go to a construction site? Several construction sites have been hiring these days, and the wages offered are not low, ranging from 800 to 1000 yuan!"

Speaking of construction sites, Dagang couldn't help but think of his wife Guifen, who found a job as a cook at a power plant construction site, with three meals a day and 500 yuan in pay!

Dagang's own monthly income has never exceeded 500 yuan! He sighed in his heart, it's really frustrating to compare yourself with others!

While others were complaining, Dagang saw something that surprised him.

It has been raining for the past two days, and the ground in Zhengzhou is still muddy and slippery.

On the platform, the personnel sent by Mulan Special Zone noticed the situation on the ground and actually opened a cardboard box on the spot and took out pairs of black rubber rain boots from it. The other workers immediately changed all their shoes!

This kind of rubber rain boots is very expensive. Dagang remembers that it was sold for 38 yuan a pair in a store in Zhengzhou. It is something only rich people can afford!
