Sail across the sea

Chapter 81 Integrity as a Snowflake

Hearing Gao Yiping's words, Ran Yuying also recalled it.She looked at Gao Fan, then at Gao Yiping, and asked timidly: "Old Gao, what Xiao Fan did, isn't it against the law?"

"According to the current policy, it should not be illegal." Gao Yiping said carefully.

"Will the policy change?" Ran Yuying continued to ask.

Gao Yiping hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's hard to talk about it. I chatted with some business leaders in private, and everyone felt that the possibility of the policy being withdrawn is not too great.

"You think, everyone can see the policies of the past few years, and the benefits that the common people have received are real. If the policies are to be accepted, the common people may not agree."

There is a concept in economics called "Pareto optimization", which means that at least one person's interests will increase without harming anyone's interests.

In contrast, it is non-Pareto optimization, that is, while improving the welfare of some people, it harms the welfare of others.

China's reform and opening up started with Pareto optimization.From the end of the 70s to the beginning of the 80s, the policies introduced by the state were all beneficial to the people, and no one's interests would be harmed, so no one would oppose the reform.

Occasionally, I complain, but it's just that I feel a little unbalanced when I see that others have benefited more than myself.

Since the mid-80s, the reform has gradually moved towards the "deep water zone".There is already very little room for Pareto optimization, and most policies are non-Pareto.

In other words, the introduction of any measure, while benefiting a certain group, will inevitably cause damage to other groups, so various contradictions begin to appear.

At this time, the country can only weigh the pros and cons, allowing some people to suffer some small losses in exchange for others to obtain greater benefits.Those who suffer losses will not always suffer losses. The state will compensate them in subsequent policies. Of course, at that time, it will bring some harm to other groups of people.

It was still in the early 80s, and everyone saw the benefits of the reform measures.The so-called "policy essentials" are just speculations by some people with rigid thinking. Young and vigorous corporate officials like Gao Yiping are still very supportive of the reform and are full of optimism about the prospect of the reform.

Gao Fan, as a time traveler, naturally knew that the reform would not go backwards, the policy would only become more and more loose, and it would be impossible to regard the commodity economy as a poisonous insect and a beast like in the past.

"Mom, don't worry, it's impossible to take back the policy. You didn't go to Shuinan. There are businesses everywhere in Shuinan, and the economy is very prosperous. Think about it, the age of director Deng He is older than my dad and must have more experience.

"I asked him to open a store in partnership with Chen Xingquan, and he agreed without saying a word. If the policy is to be accepted, wouldn't an enterprise cadre like him be the most dangerous?"

Gao Fan casually found evidence to convince Ran Yuying.

Ran Yuying was a little skeptical, she looked at Gao Yiping, and asked, "Old Gao, is this incident related to you?"

Gao Yiping said: "What does it have to do with me? I'm a state official, but I'm not in business. Xiaofan has graduated from high school and is an adult. Who he does business with has nothing to do with me.

"His technology is not stolen from our factory, his technology is..., hey, by the way, Xiaofan, how do you know antifouling paint?"

"This is the same thing as the catalyst." Gao Fan said, "I read about foreign antifouling paint in a book, and then I analyzed the principle and designed a formula. The last time Chen Xingquan came to Cangtang, I gave him the formula and asked him to go back to Renqiao to do experiments.

"He found some boats and painted that kind of paint for free. As a result, when those boats came back from the sea, the bottom of the boats was clean, and there was no adsorption of shells or the like, which shows that my formula is effective."

"My son is smart!" Ran Yuying said happily.

"What about me, what about me!" Gao Min raised a hand, like a primary school student applying for a speech, and shouted.

"You're smart too! My daughter is even smarter!" Ran Yuying said angrily.

Naturally, Gao Yiping didn't care about the routine quarrel between the mother and daughter. He asked Gao Fan, "Xiao Fan, for such a company that can earn a gross profit of 100 million yuan a year, if you completely leave it to Chen Xingquan to manage it, you will Don't you worry?"

Gao Fan said: "What's the use of worrying? It's impossible for me to squat at Renqiao and stare at him. I'm helping Director Deng just to find a helper. Maybe he can come in handy in special situations. "

"You are very thoughtful." Gao Yiping said.

Gao Fan said: "Of course, Director Deng can use it at critical times, and it is impossible for me to let him get in touch with the business of the paint factory. I told Chen Xingquan to keep it a secret from Director Deng." .”

"Absolutely." Gao Yiping said, "If Old Deng knew that you could earn 50 gross profit a year, he would definitely be jealous, and maybe he would come up with some crooked ideas to ruin your business."

"Dad, didn't you say that Director Deng is not bad?" Gao Min asked in surprise.

Gao Yiping said: "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. I have met Director Deng twice, and my overall impression of him is not bad. But what Xiaofan does is too big, involving With a profit of 50 a year, we can't trust others too much."

"50 a year, Xiao Fan, what are you doing with so much money?" Gao Min asked Gao Fan.

Gao Fan laughed and said, "Didn't I say that when you get married, I'll give you a house as a dowry? I'm making money now to save money to buy a house."

"Hee hee, alright, alright, I'll wait." Gao Min was successfully led off the stairs, forgetting the previous question.

Gao Fan turned his head and said to Gao Yiping: "Dad, in fact, it was a coincidence that I started this antifouling paint factory. I didn't expect that there would be such a big market for antifouling paint. I just wanted to make some money with Chen Xingquan. The kind of [-] to [-] a year."

"2000 to [-] yuan is not a small amount of money. My annual salary is only over [-] yuan." Gao Yiping said.

Gao Fan said: "This is what I want to talk about. Dad, in your current position, there is still a lot of money to be made. In the future, if the Ministry of Chemical Industry really chooses our factory to carry out ammonium urine modification, your right It will be even bigger.

"When the power is great, it is easy to corrupt. I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. In our province's fertilizer system, isn't there already a factory manager who was arrested for stretching his hands indiscriminately?
"What I want to say is that from now on, dad, you have to be stricter with yourself. Not only can you not be greedy for money, you don't even accept gifts from others. From now on in our family, I will be responsible for making money to support the family, and dad will be responsible for being clean and honest... , er, I mean, clean as a snowflake..."
