Chapter 34: Army to Civilian
"Now, thousands of flower pots have been bought in vain." Boss Wang said with some distress before he could use the flower pots.
"What a big deal, do you still care about those flower pots?" Fan Wubing curled his lips, "At worst, during the Chinese New Year this year, we will go out to set up a stall and sell all the flower pots at a low price. Anyway, there are many people growing flowers during this period, so it is not a problem for thousands of flower pots."
Boss Wang smiled and replied, "We brothers have really not done some days in setting up a stall."
After rushing all night, everyone was a little tired.
After Wang Shiyuan's convoy left, it was almost dawn. The three Wang brothers arranged the work of the pig farm and went to bed. Fan Wubing was still in good spirits, so he stayed in the garden and looked at the large area that was empty and thought to himself how to use it here?
Are all grown into roses? Of course, it also has economic benefits, but the value of rose oil extraction equipment is too high, and the shelf life of this thing is not long. Without drying equipment, it is easy to get moldy, which is not worth it.
By the time he got home, it was already bright and his parents and sisters had gone to school. Because of his special circumstances, Fan Wubing could go to this school or not. However, today he had just made a big deal and was excited. He couldn't sleep at home, so he went to the school.
Fan Wubing is seven years old now, but his figure is just the same as a junior high school student. In addition, his situation is really special. His mother Zhang Mei had to put him in a colleague's class through her own relationship and go directly to the fifth grade. She also hopes that when he goes to junior high school next year, he will play with the older children. This will probably be better. Otherwise, letting him be so ignorant is not a solution. Fan Wubing is an idle person in the society now!
When the teacher saw Fan Wubing, he just took a look and let him go to his seat and lay there reading.
Children in the fifth grade of elementary school are busy preparing for the primary exam. The normal homework has been completed and are currently undergoing review. They are reviewing all the knowledge they have learned in elementary school. For students who have spare time, the teacher does not care about teaching more knowledge that they should only be exposed to in the first year of junior high school. It is considered to be a state of state in advance. It is said that this will be of great help to students' entrance examinations.
Fan Wubing sat there and flipped through the book. He found that the exercises for the small exams during this period were much simpler than when he was in school (after all, he went to the fifth grade five years earlier). After reading for a while, he lost interest. However, there were several girls in the class who looked good. They were only eleven or twelve years old and were in a state of state. In this way, he would not worry about the time being.
"The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has stood up." Fan Wubing stared at the slightly bulging chest while reading the text in an unfathomable way, but he thought to himself, "No wonder he used to call poets a poet and had bad thoughts in his writing poems, but this poem could still be selected into elementary school texts! I think the editors of this textbook selection committee are not gentlemen!"
After Fan Wubing sat in the classroom for a while, he suddenly heard someone whispering in the corridor outside the classroom. It seemed that one of them mentioned the name of his father Fan Heng, and his ears immediately became dull.
"I heard that the military's orders are getting fewer and fewer, and our factory may change towards the direction of civilian products."
"Turning the folk products? Isn't that saying that I have to start over again? Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to be sad again-"
"It is said that many military factories want to transfer civilian products, and it is not bad for our family--"
Military to civilians? After hearing this, Fan Wubing couldn't help but arouse the past in his heart.
Military-to-civilian is a process of transformation of military-industrial enterprises into local enterprises. These enterprises originally accepted orders from the military, but now the international situation is gradually stable. Mr. Deng made the inference that there will be no war within 20 years and is determined to do his best to carry out domestic economic construction. In this way, the orders received by many military-industrial enterprises are pitiful, but the employees and families of the enterprise must survive, so this term appears: Military-to-civilian.
In fact, at that time, military-industrial enterprises were everywhere, and there were not one or two enterprises that carried out military-to-civilian transformations. During the natural elimination after growing up for more than ten or twenty years, many factories stood out and successfully transformed into high-quality civilian products manufacturers. A large number of enterprises were unable to adapt to the laws of the market and were eventually eliminated by the market, becoming the target of mergers of large enterprises, or directly declared bankruptcy.
The biggest problem of military-industrial enterprises is not technology, but ideas. For factories that have been adapted to passively accepting government purchase orders for a long time, it is indeed a bit difficult to learn to adapt to market demand and purchase raw materials according to market laws, project decisions, new products are put into production, and finally packaging and marketing products. However, the overall environment is already like this, and no factory can get more government support. Everything depends on itself.
When the Plain Factory began to convert military to civilians, Fan Wubing was still young and had little knowledge. He just vaguely remembered that the overall quality of life of the Plain Factory had declined for a few years, and then everyone gradually got used to it, which was like that.
After all, when accepting something new, everyone's views may not be consistent. Some people welcome it, some people question it, some people wait and see, and some people even hostile or reject it. For employees of plain factories who are used to the lifestyle of military enterprises, they suddenly cancel most of the military orders and instead need to go out on their own, accept orders in the market, produce civilian goods, or produce civilian products by themselves, and sell them in the market. This is a new thing for them, and it is natural to not adapt.
"What does this matter have to do with my dad?" Fan Wubing felt very surprised.
