1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 112: Intended for Pei Gong
The triangular debt problem in the 1970s and 1980s was very famous, but many people may not know how serious the triangular debt was at that time;
Let me put it this way. In this era when Mao notes and two-cent coins were still the main currency in circulation, and food coupons and cloth coupons were still popular, the triangular debts in Shandong and Shandong provinces alone amounted to 43 billion yuan. The three northeastern provinces were even worse, with Liaoning's triangular debts totaling 45 billion yuan, and Heilongjiang and Jilin's totals totaling 60 billion yuan.

The most serious situation is actually in Jiangnan Province, which has the most active economy at present, where the total amount of triangular debts has directly exceeded 100 billion.

Don’t think that such a small amount of money is insignificant. You should know that the country’s GDP in 1988 was only 1.5 trillion.

Don't calculate the absolute value, nor the average purchasing power. Just convert it into a percentage of GDP, and you will know how tricky the problem is.

Take Qilu as an example. In 1988, the total GDP of Qilu was only 1117.66 billion yuan, and the triangular debt was about 43 billion yuan, accounting for 3.8% of the total GDP of the province that year... Anyone with a little common sense in economics knows what this means.

Moreover, these are the numbers that have been counted. As for the numbers that have not been counted...

With the end of the price breakthrough and the introduction of national control policies, a large number of "hot-selling goods" such as refrigerators and color TVs, which had required dealers to wave their money to buy them last year, suddenly became warehouse goods. Due to the poor turnover, the already very serious triangular debt problems of enterprises in various places have been exposed one after another;

According to statistics on collection and acceptance payments through the banking system alone, as of the end of March, the total amount of arrears of enterprises across the country that exceeded the normal settlement period had reached 1085 billion yuan...and this is only the collection and acceptance payments. Even if you think about it, you will know that if other arrears not included in the collection and acceptance payments are added, it would have long exceeded the normal business scope.

As a result, the Qiqihar Fulaerji Heavy Machinery Manufacturing Plant was forced to shut down and stop production, and the plant director sent two emergency telegrams to the cabinet;
As a result, the director of the Fengtian Cable Factory had to beg for debts everywhere, and finally he could only find a group of old friends to defraud more than 3000 million yuan;

Thus, Anshan Iron and Steel Group became the largest steel base in the country at that time. However, because there was no money in the account and no coal in the warehouse, even production could not be guaranteed. The factory director had to bow and shed tears to raise funds from 20 employees to help them out of their difficulties.

Etc., etc.

You have to know that these are large state-owned enterprises, even super large enterprises. Even they have been forced to this extent by triangular debts. One can imagine the days of a number of small and medium-sized enterprises.

In short, it is common for debt collectors to block the doors of various companies now. It is also common for debt collectors to bring their own bedding and sleep in the corridor in front of the factory director's door every night. It is even more common to see employees who have not received their wages for several months holding up banners in protest in their own homes or other companies.

There are some situations in between that are inconvenient to talk about, but you just need to know that at this juncture, if anyone can help to solve the triangular debt problem of your family, not to mention obeying your orders, even kneeling down in public and calling you grandpa will have no problem!
therefore……

At the end of this follow-up cooperation negotiation meeting, the drilling company completely took the initiative, and the effect of this negotiation meeting was also amazing. As long as the drilling company made a request, those units immediately nodded and agreed without saying a word;
There were even leaders of some units who refused to leave after the meeting and insisted on staying there to wait for the first list of cooperation to be released in three days - of course, whether they were just waiting there to do so or if they were planning to try to find some connections in these three days was unknown.

………………

"Yang Mo, you are playing with fire."

Miss Mu took a small bite of the black-skinned watermelon, then covered her mouth in a very ladylike manner and gently spit the watermelon seeds into her palm. There was no surprise or anger in her tone, but rather a hint of gloating.

"What? You finally thought it through. You plan to smash the plates here and then come over to fight me?" Mu Liya shook the melon seeds in her hand into the trash can, then looked at Yang Mo who was eating half a watermelon with a slightly teasing look.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mo rolled his eyes, gave the young lady a look of contempt, and continued to fight with the half of the super-large watermelon in his hand.

This kind of black-skinned watermelon has almost disappeared in later generations, but it must be admitted that apart from its thick skin and seeds, this variety has almost no other shortcomings... It is sweet, has a good taste, is rich in moisture, and is durable in storage and transportation.

Although the mainstream view in later generations is that this variety was gradually eliminated because it was too big and did not meet the consumer's demand for "one meal", anyone who has worked in VC for a few years will basically sneer at this reason... In later generations, even the most mainstream Black Beauty and 8848, also known as the Kirin Melon, really meet the demand for "one meal"? It's pure nonsense!
Besides, as a watermelon fanatic, Yang Mo has always complained that watermelons are too small and not satisfying to eat.

For this purpose, I specially picked the largest watermelon on the stall yesterday afternoon and put it in the refrigerator to chill it in advance... This watermelon weighs 17.4 kilograms. It was kept in the refrigerator overnight. It was so delicious to eat it with a spoon!

Classmate Tugou walked into the yard carrying a plate of freshly cut watermelon, and was so angry when she saw the guy eating with relish... She also wanted to eat the watermelon with a spoon like Yang Shidan, but her sister Mu always told her that girls should act like girls. Therefore, seeing that Miss Mu was there, she could only watch the man put spoonfuls of watermelon core into his mouth like a bandit, while she could only eat the thick-skinned watermelon slices in small bites.

"Sister Mu, isn't this just a normal negotiation meeting? The content of the meeting should have been discussed internally long ago. How did it become playing with fire?"

Seeing that Yang Mo just focused on eating melon without saying a word, Lu Yingying could only ask Mu Liya with a hint of curiosity.

Mu Liya threw the melon rind into the trash can, then tore off a piece of toilet paper to wipe her mouth, looking at the girl unhappily: "Normal negotiation meeting? Do you think it's normal?"

Lu Yingying was stunned, and thought for a moment: "Even if many requirements were put forward to those units at the meeting, and even if the model was a bit overbearing, it is still a normal business cooperation after all. What's abnormal?"

Mu Liya stood up and washed her hands in the sink. "There's nothing wrong with the cooperation itself, but that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is... suddenly pushing Vice President Feng out and singing praises for him. Don't you think this is unusual?"

Lu Yingying was a little confused: "Vice President Feng and Vice President Tang are in the same group. Now Vice President Tang has legitimately started to compete with President Wang for the position of the next general manager. Vice President Feng jumped out to help Vice President Tang build momentum. What's so abnormal about that?"

Mu Liya stroked her forehead and sighed in silence. This silly girl was still young after all. There were some things she didn't understand yet. She returned to her seat and looked at Yang Mo: "Hey, Yang Mo, can you tell me what you and Director Zhang are planning... Are you playing the game of Three Families Dividing Jin, or Tian Family Replacing Qi?"

Yang Mo thought for a moment and put down the spoon in his hand: "It's nothing. At most, it's just showing its own banner to ally with Wu and fight against Wei."

Ally with Wu to fight against Wei?

Mu Liya sneered and didn't believe it at all.

Lu Yingying, who was standing by, was confused and immediately unhappy: "Hey, hey, hey, what on earth are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word you say?"

Seeing this, Mu Liya was somewhat helpless and could only explain: "Yingying, you have been in the company for half a year, you should have known some basic information about the company, right?"

Lu Yingying blinked her eyes: "I can't say I know a lot, but I guess I know some basic information, right?"

Mu Liya nodded, then pointed at a man who was still eating melons: "You should be the most familiar with the General Office where Yang Mo works... Don't you think that this department, which was established only last year, has a similar scope of functions to the General Manager's Office at first glance, but in fact, it has a higher degree of overlap with the Industry and Agriculture Department?"

Eh?
After Mu Liya mentioned this, Lv Yingying reacted: "Now that you mention it, it is true. Whether it is the pilot operation of the tertiary industry project or the handling of some sudden local conflicts, strictly speaking, it is related to handling the relationship between workers and farmers."

Seeing this, Mu Liya smiled and said, "So, my silly sister, don't you find it strange... The company already has an industrial and agricultural department and a general manager's office, why would they suddenly set up a new department that has something to do with both?"

Lu Yingying shook her head blankly. Things in state-owned enterprises were often messy. Sometimes there were hidden secrets, and sometimes it was just a bunch of blind operations. She couldn't understand the truth and falsehood.

Seeing her shake her head, Mu Liya was not surprised, but continued to guide her carefully: "Do you find it strange? Obviously, the Industry and Agriculture Department is one of the most important departments of the drilling company, but you have been in the company for half a year. Have you heard that the Industry and Agriculture Department has made any outstanding achievements? ... And their section chief Yang Jin, doesn't he have a sense of existence? Not only did he watch the General Office take their jobs, but even when encountering major events, he always shrinks in the back and does not show up?"

Lu Yingying nodded, doubts coming one after another in her mind, and she felt that her brain was about to crash.

Before Mu Liya could speak, Yang Mo shouted unhappily, "Hey, hey, hey, Miss Mu, if you're like this, this girl won't be able to figure out the connection even if she spends the whole night... This girl is stupid, her IQ is not even 60 points, your teaching method is not suitable for her."

After dodging a punch from Tugou, Yang Mo thought for a moment and said, "Girl, you only need to understand five key points. You can figure out the rest on your own."

Lu Yingying was still feeling ashamed and angry because this guy called her stupid, so she asked unhappily, "What five points?"

Yang Mo chuckled, then found a cigarette and lit it: "First, the Department of Industry and Agriculture is a department that emphasizes both ability and social relations. Both are indispensable. Without either one, it will be difficult for you to carry out your work."

Lu Yingying pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. The job responsibilities of the Industry and Agriculture Department were simple, just "coordinating the relationship between workers and farmers", but these five words contained a wide range of work content. Of course, it would not work without ability, but having ability without social connections would still not be enough.

Seeing that she agreed with the first point, Yang Mo continued with a smile: "Second, the current Industry and Agriculture Department is just half an empty shell...Tang Chaoxian will be responsible for solving ordinary minor matters, and when encountering major issues, Vice President Feng will take action...Yang Jin, the nominal section chief, is just a human-shaped stamp. The reason why he is still in the position of section chief is entirely because the time is not right. Once the time is right, he will immediately step down and let others take over!"

!!!

Being reminded of this, Lu Yingying was startled.

It was no secret that Tang Chaoxian was the nephew of Vice President Tang. Considering what Yang Mo had just said, even if she was slow-witted, she understood some of the connections.

Yang Mo seemed to enjoy seeing this girl's fussing expression. After enjoying it for a while, he continued, "Third, the emergence of the general office is the result of bargaining and compromise between President Wang and Vice President Tang."

"Although Director Zhang is a veteran employee, he was transferred out for more than ten years. Now that he has returned to the drilling company, he is, strictly speaking, a third party who has nothing to do with either party.

"To put it simply, President Wang wanted him to take power away from the Department of Industry and Agriculture, while Vice President Tang wanted him to take power away from the General Manager's Office... So they came up with a new department called the General Affairs Office, which has something to do with both sides, but also has little to do with either side."

Lu Yingying pouted in surprise. She never expected that the General Office department appeared for this reason.

Seeing the girl casting a sympathetic look at him, Yang Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fourth, Vice President Feng has been working on the relationship between workers and peasants for thirteen or fourteen years. He is also a veteran employee. In terms of seniority, he is not inferior to President Wang and Vice President Tang... Although Vice President Tang is the executive vice president and has much more power than the other vice presidents, in terms of importance, Vice President Feng is not inferior to him, and his mass base at the middle and senior levels is also very solid."

Lv Yingying nodded. Having worked as the quality control manager for almost two months, she deeply felt that in Qilu in this era, if you made any big moves, you would inevitably have to sort out various social relationships and deal with various levels of authorities.
She is just a department manager of a small affiliated enterprise and this is the case, let alone a drilling company?

Therefore, one can imagine the importance of Gongnongke, who is in charge of this work, in the eyes of the company's middle and senior management.

Seeing this, Yang Mo sighed with some emotion: "Fifth, the last time we took power from the Asset Management Department, it obviously stimulated Vice President Feng;"

"Because he is from southern Yunnan, due to various reasons, I had to do Mr. Wang a favor and supported Mr. Wang at the company meeting. But it is obvious that anyone would feel aggrieved if they were to do this. "

"More importantly, after being manipulated by President Wang, regardless of whether it was against his will or not, Vice President Feng has been regarded as a traitor by the Southwest local faction... The reason why Vice President Tang and his men are acting so close to Vice President Feng is purely because of the need for formality... Vice President Feng should be very clear that when the tournament comes to an end, it will be time for him to be ostracized and liquidated."

At this point, Yang Mo crossed his legs and said, "Tsk tsk, someone in the department directly under you is trying to cut off your foundation, the company's top boss is constantly using cause and effect to force you to be a guide, and your friends who were originally in the same camp also regard you as a traitor... Faced with this situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, if you were Vice President Feng, what would you do?"

Lu Yingying didn't hesitate: "What else can I do? I'll give it a try... I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well give it a try!"

Yang Mo snapped his fingers: "That's right! So you understand why Vice President Feng suddenly jumped out with a flagpole at this negotiation meeting, right?"

Lu Yingying suddenly realized.

Yes, faced with this desperate situation, whether he likes it or not, Vice President Feng has no choice but to jump out and establish his own territory.

Moreover, this usually low-key vice president may not have as much support within the company as Vice President Tang and President Wang, but his external support is no less than others... Don't forget, he is in charge of the relationship between workers and peasants.

As long as you can unite the external local brother units into one, this reaction force will react to the drilling company in a minute... Don't forget that although the drilling company is a central enterprise, it is a southwestern unit. It is digging wells on other people's land to make a living. As long as they use their local influence to be a little "uncooperative", you will feel uncomfortable.

As luck would have it, the country has now decided to put a lot of effort into sorting out and solving the problem of triangular debts of enterprises across the country. With such a compelling reason, there is nothing wrong with Vice President Feng's actions this time in terms of position and righteousness. As long as some of the triangular debt problems of these units can be solved, let alone asking them to be your lackeys, they will not hesitate even if they kneel down and call you grandpa on the spot.

Of course, we must admit that Vice President Feng was incredibly lucky. He happened to be in this desperate situation when the country began to vigorously sort out triangular debts, and he also happened to encounter the tertiary industry project of Momo Baizha, which was about to start explosive growth... Otherwise, no matter how determined you are and how loud your slogans are, it will be in vain if you do not have enough strength to help those companies solve their debt problems.

After a rough review, Tugou, who seemed to feel that he had learned something new, was very excited and started dancing around like a poor student who had scored 90 points in the final exam.

Miss Mu was speechless when she saw the girl's blushing face.

Hey, hey, hey, silly sister.

Are you sure you really understand?

Also, why don’t you think about why Yang Mo and Zhang Wenshun, two foxes, one old and one young, are suddenly willing to support Vice President Feng?
Do you think these two foxes are stupid like you? Could these two guys be so generous if they don’t have other plans?

Thinking of this, Miss Mu wished she could twist this silly girl's ears and make her sit down and do her homework again.

But after looking at Yang Mo, she gave up this plan.

The reason why Yang Mo avoided talking about this issue was obviously because he didn't want to know their plans... Although everyone is playing an open game, since you can't see through other people's intentions, you don't have the face to ask others to tell you the answer indirectly.

only……

third party?
Remembering that Yang Mo had mentioned more than once before that he was doing things from the perspective of a "third party", Mu Liya seemed to vaguely understand something.

only……

Is that old fox Zhang Wenshun also the third party?
This is interesting...

………………

After waiting for Yang Mo to finally satisfy his watermelon craving, Mu Liya watched him throw half of the huge watermelon rind into the trash can, then she stood up and walked towards the house: "Hey, Yang Mo, it's almost time, isn't it time to get down to business?"

Yang Mo touched his bloated belly, looked at his classmate Tugou who was looking forward to it, and nodded reluctantly: "Okay!"

Lu Yingying was so excited: "Yeah! Wait a minute, I'll go get something!"

Before Tugou classmate could run into the house...

bang bang bang~
There was a slightly restrained knock on the door.

After looking at each other strangely, Yang Mo stood up and opened the iron gate of the yard.

Huh?
Why is it you! ?
Looking at the familiar face outside the iron gate, Yang Mo was stunned, and a thousand question marks popped up in his mind...
