Chapter 378 Military Industry Foreign Trade Settlement Rights
Two poetry collections, each priced at 0.7 yuan.
Although there are royalties from magazines and newspapers, the royalties are not much, and the bulk is still royalties.
This means that, based on this price, each poetry collection will be published in more than one million copies.
This era is definitely a golden age for writers.
There is no piracy. As long as you write well, you can live a rich life just by royalties.
And now it is different from a few years ago. A few years ago, writers did not dare to take all the remuneration they received, and would donate part of it.
For example, the famous Ba Jin has never received a state salary since 1949. He lived entirely on royalties. He is the only writer in mainland China who did not receive a government salary and lived only on royalties after 1949. And even Ba Jin said a famous saying: "People do not live on money alone. Ideas are different. Some people think that those who do not take money are fools, and I think those who take money indiscriminately are fools!"
After the reform and opening up, this phenomenon has gradually improved. Those writers who are party members no longer need to hand in most of their royalties as party dues.
Liu Tao honestly didn't expect that he, as a plagiarist, could publish these poems and sell millions of copies for the first time.
"Our bookstore also sells books, and these two poetry anthologies are the best sellers. Many college students who usually don't want to eat or drink can't help but buy the poetry anthologies after reading them, even if they have read them once." Zhu Lin said.
History officially opened a new chapter since 1978.
No one wants to go back to that era, but only wants to work hard in the new era.
Zhu Lin whispered about the business situation of the bookstore, flower shop, coffee shop, and tea shop.
After deducting salary expenses, water and electricity bills, and food expenses, they have earned 1,000 yuan so far.
The average salary of several of them is 80 yuan.
Even if the enterprise salary adjustment is implemented this year, the salary of 80 yuan is not low.
As for earning 1,000 yuan, it is not much, but it is not small either. More importantly, Zhu Lin and others have a job.
To be honest, it doesn't matter whether they make a profit or a loss, and the loss is not that big. As long as they have a career to work hard and can take good care of their children, they don't have to think about it all day long.
The next day, Liu Tao went to the China Ordnance Industry Corporation and attended a meeting by the way.
This meeting was about the salary adjustment standards to be implemented next year.
Next year, whether it is a state-owned enterprise, a government agency, or a public institution, the salary will be adjusted.
On the enterprise side, it is directly stipulated that new employees will implement the internship period, apprenticeship period and skilled period system according to regulations. After college and technical school graduates join the work, the temporary salary treatment during the internship period (excluding non-staple food price subsidies) is 55 yuan for graduate students, 50 yuan for undergraduate graduates, 45 yuan for junior college graduates, and 40 yuan for technical secondary school graduates. After the one-year internship period, the graded salary is generally determined by graduate students at the thirteenth level of the salary standard for new enterprise cadres, undergraduate graduates at the thirteenth level, junior college graduates at the fourteenth level, and technical secondary school graduates at the fifteenth level. A few excellent ones can be determined at a higher level, and relatively poor ones can be determined at a lower level.
According to the previous corporate profits, the average salary increase for enterprises is 10%~20%.
The government agencies and public institutions also have similar increases.
In addition to salary adjustments, there are also some regulations on the setting of allowances.
Liu Tao only learned a little bit and didn't look at it much. After all, the entire system of Panshan Group implements its own salary system. As a reform pilot unit, it has greater autonomy in this regard.
At present, the salary system of Panshan Group is still much higher than the salary to be adjusted.
However, from the salary increase here, Liu Tao can also see the development of the country.
In a few years, the country has significantly improved its national strength through reform and opening up, so there is a salary increase.
In recent years, salary reform has actually been groping and increasing intermittently, increasing a little every year. Although the increase is not large, this increase is every year.
Even if the new salary is implemented, there are still very few people in the country who are qualified to pay personal income tax.
Because the starting point for personal income tax is still a monthly salary of 800 yuan.
None of the state-owned enterprises, schools, government agencies, and public institutions that can reach a monthly salary of 800 yuan are qualified!
Even if it is the entire system of Panshan Group, only the general manager of each company is qualified, and the entire system is not much.
After the meeting, another meeting was officially held.
This time it was a meeting specifically about Panshan Group.
After several years of transfer, Panshan Group now wants to take back the account settlement rights and settle with the bank independently.
Before, it was transferred through the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building/Ordnance Industry Corporation, which was somewhat troublesome.
And this settlement right was given by the leader himself after the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" project, which was regarded as compensation for Panshan Group.
For the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" project, Panshan Group assumed 70% of the funds and undertook technical research.
The leaders saw it and always thought about compensating Panshan Group.
After all, according to national calculations, it will take 30 years for the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" to recover the investment cost, and Panshan Group only has 30 years of dividend rights.
This means that Panshan Group is actually a big loss, because just calculating the interest, it will be very shocking.
So there was a plan to let China North Industries Group Corporation return the settlement rights to Panshan Group.
To be honest, China North Industries Group Corporation was not very willing to do so.
The exchange rate announced by the bank now is 1 USD for 2.327 RMB, but in fact, the exchange rate between China North Industries Group Corporation and the bank is 1 USD for 3.5 RMB, and then the settlement with Panshan Group is 1 USD for 2.8 RMB.
This means that China North Industries Group Corporation can make a net profit of 0.7 RMB for every 1 USD.
In a year, the foreign trade business of weapons alone involves a profit of almost 5 billion RMB.
Before, the reform of the weapons industry system depended on this money.
And now this money is gone!
And you know, although China North Industries Group Corporation can also conduct foreign trade negotiations, it cannot export weapons developed by Panshan Group. This point has been clearly divided very early.
In terms of foreign trade of weapons industry, the weapons developed by Panshan Group itself account for the majority, whether it is the majority of the total contract amount or the majority of the profit.
Liu Tao will naturally not be polite. With this buffer period of nearly a year, he has done his best.
Panshan Group has a large business, not to mention the factories it has built and the development of overseas business. Just the two century-old projects, the "Shenhai Expressway" and the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway", have invested huge amounts of money.
In addition to the navy's credit, Panshan Group also needs more financial support.
It is a good thing for Panshan Group to be able to regain the right to settle military foreign trade, and it is also what it should be.
