This year, the Jiang family has not changed much. Li Donghai and Liu Fei are still selling cans, but their monthly wages have increased.

Jiang Tieshan is similar, the price for buying canned goods is the same as Liu Fei's price for buying goods from the Educated Youth Cannery.

After a year, they have made more money. The second brother-in-law and his wife are still running a small restaurant.

On the other hand, the third brother-in-law Zhang Shoujun became the leader of the technical department, which was a step forward in his official career.

However, Jiang's mother listened to Jiang Xiaobai's advice and actually took her things to find her neighbor in the alley, Uncle Wang, that afternoon.

Uncle Wang agreed wholeheartedly, and then Jiang Zijian embarked on the journey of blind date. The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.

The Spring Festival of 1985 was spent in such a plain and peaceful atmosphere.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Song Xin came back, passed by Longcheng, and visited Jiang Xiaobai's home.

After chatting with Zhao Xinyi, her best friend, for a long time, Jiang Xiaobai returned to Jianhua Village.

Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by Beauty Pass, and Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes. Jiang Xiaobai originally planned to return to Jianhua Village after the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

But the first night, seeing Zhao Xinyi's tearful appearance, I gritted my teeth and stayed for five more days.

I left Jianhua Village just after the 20th New Year's Eve.

There was no peace in China in 1985. At the beginning of the year, a car case broke out in Hainan.

The two Crown cars and a van currently in Jiang Xiaobai's factory were purchased from Hainan.

Hainan's reselling of cars to develop the local economy was extremely popular last year, and kindergartens began to get approval for reselling.

Now that he was called out by the higher authorities, he finally calmed down.

At the same time, the Jinjiang counterfeit drug case broke out in the south.

The inferior Tremella fuciformis mixed with white sugar has become counterfeit medicines such as "hypertensive granules" and "Lifei granules". Simple stoves, iron pots, bamboos and other primitive tools are their production workshops.

Suddenly, the house leaked and it rained all night.

However, Jiang Xiaobai didn't pay much attention to these things. He just looked at the newspapers to see if they were the history he was familiar with.

Because these things are too far away from Jiang Xiaobai.

Jianhua Village is still developing step by step.

A new production line has been assembled, the educated youth cannery factory needs to expand its recruitment, the clothing factory also needs to expand production, the feed factory is also somewhat short of manpower, and the pig farm is even more lacking.

Suddenly, all the recruitment reports were piled on Jiang Xiaobai's desktop.

However, Jiang Xiaobai has not yet started to approve it, and suppressed it.

But on May 2, 1985, after Jiang Xiaobai got up and had breakfast, he made a cup of tea as usual and flipped through the newspapers from the previous two days.

Of course the first thing I read was the People's Daily. At this time, there was no Internet, TV, and radio was not very popular, so the newspaper was almost the only media in the country.

According to Jiang Xiaobai's general habit, he reads the People's Daily first, then newspapers from some important provinces in the south, and finally the Evening News of Shanxi Province, and finally takes a look at Shangdang City if he is in the mood.

If you're not in the mood, don't watch it.

But as soon as he opened the People's Daily newspaper, Jiang Xiaobai was stunned when he saw a big headline on the third page.

"The story from educated youth to factory" is the story of Jiang Xiaobai and Jianhua Village.

Jiang Xiaobai did not read the text of the article, but looked directly at the name of the last corresponding author. Not surprisingly, it was Duan Zhixiang.

Duan Zhixiang came to Jianhua Village last year for the interview. It had not been released for such a long time. Jiang Xiaobai originally thought that the matter ended in such an anticlimactic manner.

I didn’t expect this article to be published now.

Then Jiang Xiaobai read the content of the article, which focused on the hard struggle of Jiang Xiaobai and the educated youth.

As well as the innovative research and development of the feed factory and last year's canning factory and clothing factory, sales were booming during the Olympic Games.

There are also two photos. One is a photo of Jiang Xiaobai and those educated youths taken in the commune when they first arrived.

The other photo is from when the Educated Youth Cannery Factory was built.

After reading the news from the People's Daily, Jiang Xiaobai looked through some southern newspapers. Unsurprisingly, some southern newspapers also reprinted this news.

It's just that the titles are different, some are "Xiaobai Factory Manager," some are "The Story of From Nothing to One Million" and some are "Jianhua Village Researched for 100 Yuan"

The content is very similar, but the difference is that the direction of the discussion is different. Some newspapers with strong reform ideas directly take the rise of township enterprises as their theme.

After Bu Xin got angry, Jiang Xiaobai also became popular, and the name "Director Xiaobai" suddenly appeared in the newspapers.

The words "factory director Xiaobai" are accompanied by the words "township and township enterprises".

State-owned enterprises are the big brothers who need resources, connections, and policies, while township and village enterprises are the younger brothers and illegitimate children.

A dual-track price system was implemented at the beginning of 1985.

What is the dual-track price system? It means that there are two prices for a kind of production material, one is the "planned price" controlled by the state, and the other is the market-oriented "unplanned price."

The cost of the latter is much higher than that of the former. The most fundamental purpose of this distorted price system is to protect the procurement advantages of state-owned enterprises in raw materials.

For example, a private textile factory purchases raw material cotton yarn for 50 yuan, while a state-owned enterprise purchases cotton yarn for 25 yuan.

Your cost of purchasing raw materials has risen a lot. How can you compete with other state-owned enterprises?

The clothes made by others can be sold for fifty yuan, but what about you? You only spent fifty yuan on the raw materials.

And that’s not all. The proportion of planned and unplanned production materials is different.

The state-owned enterprises have opened up their supply, but if you, the private enterprise, want to take advantage of it and buy it at a high price, they have nothing to sell you.

Of course, this system is not without its benefits. It has played a certain role in curbing price surges and inflation.

Tiredness has become a problem for private enterprises.

It was under this circumstance that Jiang Xiaobai became famous, and the township and village enterprises became famous.

Jiang Xiaobai held the newspaper in his hand and kept moving for a long time, his brows tightly knitted together as he thought about the impact this matter would have on several factories if it spread.

Now that a dual-track price system is being implemented, several factories in Jianhua Village are of course fully private enterprises.

Logically speaking, raw materials should be purchased at unplanned prices, but sometimes raw materials can still be purchased at planned prices.

Now that I am famous, it will definitely not work if I continue to do this, as it will leave a mark on others.
