Throughout 1995 and the first half of 1996, the slogan of Chinese companies was "Reconquista". Some succeeded, some failed, and some fished in troubled waters to make it big.

Boss Wu of Sanzhu Oral Liquid made a plan for the next five years: "In 1995, the sales volume will reach 1.6 billion to 2 billion, and the growth rate will be 1600%-2000%...... In 1999, with a growth rate of 50%, we strive to reach 90 billion yuan in sales. ”

Does it look like a daydream at first glance?

However, the plan for the first year has been achieved, and the sales of Sanzhu Oral Liquid did exceed 2 billion yuan last year. Even in such a situation, a graduate of a famous school was very entangled in thinking: "I now have two choices, should I become a deputy county magistrate, or should I go to Sanzhu Company as a regional sales manager?"

It's not a joke, it's true.

At the end of last year, Fortune magazine included companies in all fields in the top 500 for the first time, and Mr. Zhang immediately announced in a very high-profile manner: "Haier's goal is to enter the world's top 500 in 2006." ”

As soon as these words came out, the slogan of "recovering the lost territory" was once again sublimated - we must not only win the domestic war of resistance, but also go out of Asia and rush to the world, striving to be one of the world's top 500!

As a result, those who make household appliances shout to enter the top 500, those who do real estate shout to enter the top 500, those who do catering shout to enter the top 500, and those who do health care products shout to enter the top 500...... Entering the top 500 has become the long-term goal of countless Chinese enterprises.

The central government and academic circles have also worked out a strategy of "grasping the big and letting go of the small" to give full support to those enterprises that stand out from the market competition and send them to the world's top 500 as soon as possible, which has become a goal of national economic construction. In addition, the country will also select Haier, Baosteel, Changhong and other seed players to become the vanguard of Chinese enterprises to sprint to the world's top 500.

1996 thus became the most passionate year in the history of Chinese enterprises, the country's economy took off, enterprises regained lost ground, and then moved towards the goal of the world's top 500.

Daewoo boss's autobiography "The Great Cause", the genuine pirated copies are sold out, officials talk about the "Daewoo model", entrepreneurs talk about the "Daewoo model", and the media are also talking about the "Daewoo model". Countless groups and companies have opened their mouths to frantically acquire state-owned enterprises that are on the verge of collapse, and the government has actively encouraged this practice in order to shake off the burden.

As a result, this common phenomenon has emerged: an enterprise with assets of only a few hundred million yuan, but its business spans more than 10 fields such as real estate, medicine, home appliances, clothing, etc., and it is burdened with huge loans to learn from South Korea's Daewoo Company to build an "aircraft carrier".

Rush on!

Entrepreneurs no longer want to make products, channels, and markets, but keep borrowing, borrowing, re-lending, merging, merging, merging, and merging, becoming a big fat man in one bite, and turning themselves into behemoths.

Crazy, all crazy, including officials at all levels.

Mayor Huang was also affected by this trend, and at the end of March, he approached Yang Xin and Song Qizhi and wanted to package and sell all the city's city-level state-owned enterprises to Xifeng Company and Xianjiu Group. It's the equivalent of half selling and half giving away, the price is frighteningly low, and the government also helps with the aftermath and even helps to contact loans.

Song Qizhi, Yang Xin, Zheng Xuehong, Chen Tao and others were all moved, pick it up for nothing!

Guo Xiaolan forcibly pressed down, first went to the prison to discuss with her husband, and then called to communicate with her son.

Song Weiyang hurriedly told Yang Xin and Song Qizhi on the phone that if you eat too much, you will die, don't be tempted by sugar-coated shells. As a result, Xianjiu Group only agreed to buy the brewery, while Xifeng Company bought the city's packaging box factory.

Why is the government desperate to sell off SOEs?

Because it really can't hold on, the average debt ratio of state-owned enterprises in the country has exceeded 80%, and while operating in debt, they are still insisting on production every day. And these state-owned products cannot win the market, and are often shipped directly from the production workshop to their own warehouses. Millions of employees of state-owned enterprises across the country have to eat, and the government cannot afford to feed them, so it can only hope for enterprise mergers.

The government gave it away for nothing, the enterprise picked it up for nothing, and both sides were happy.

In the midst of this collective madness, only a handful of entrepreneurs see the danger. Wang Shishi, who has experienced the transformation of life and death, wrote in the company's internal publication: "Emerging companies must not think that this is the opportunity to expand, now is an opportunity for the 'proletarians'...... If they don't do well, they are still a 'proletarian'. But for those businesses that were founded in the late '80s and early '90s, now is not the time to expand, to control yourself. There is no free lunch in the world, and the state can't manage (state-owned enterprises), how can you manage it?"

And a sober person like Wang Shishi is often ridiculed: Look at that fool, you don't want anything for nothing.

Wait until next year's Asian financial crisis, most of these "gluttones" will spit out white food, and those who can't vomit will wait to be strangled to death, which is difficult to digest!

……

March 10th, weekend.

The sun is shining, the spring breeze is warm, and there are two days left for Arbor Day.

On the playground of Fudan University, more than 100 volunteers are ready to go, carrying buckets of water and shovels borrowed from other business units.

Song Weiyang also carried a shovel on his shoulder, raised it with a smile and said, "Let's go!"

Liu Ziran stood next to her to take various pictures, not surprisingly, she will enter the newspaper as a reporter after graduation, or enter the government propaganda department. A series of articles about the volunteer activities of Fudan college students made Liu Ziran well-known in the Shenghai media industry, and Wen Wei Po even sent her an internship invitation in advance.

Not only Liu Ziran, but other cadres of the volunteer association have also been tempered and developed.

For example, during last year's winter vacation, 48 people signed up, but only 23 actually volunteered. These people were divided into six groups, and the community reimbursed the round-trip expenses, settled their own living expenses, and went to four different mountain primary schools to teach.

In order to make plans and budgets, it is necessary to contact the local education department, to deal with villagers and cadres, and to endure hardships in the mountains. Every step of the process can exercise the ability and will of the volunteers, and when they step out of the campus and into the society, these are valuable experience and wealth.

In this tree-planting activity, more than 100 volunteers went to parks, squares, forest farms, martyrs' cemeteries, railways and rivers to plant trees. The club only provides saplings, and each team needs to solve the rest by themselves, not only to contact the unit of the tree planting site, but also to find a way to borrow the shovel by themselves.

The cadres of the community are tired of this, and they have benefited immensely while serving the society.

"Jingle bell!"

The bicycle bells converged into a crisp and pleasant tune, Song Weiyang pedaled and moved forward in the traffic, the sapling was tied behind his buttocks, and his girlfriend sat on the side of the big bar of the car, and everyone sang "Sunshine is Always After the Wind and Rain" and laughed loudly.

An hour passed, Song Weiyang came to the train station and beckoned everyone to get off the train.

I had already contacted the railway department, and everyone first carried buckets to get water. Leave your bike in the care of the station staff, then carry buckets and saplings and walk for 40 minutes to the desolate section of the railway.

"This is it!"

The railway department also participated, and they organized more than 50 employees to plant trees with Fudan university student volunteers. This matter can be used for publicity, take pictures and write articles to publish the internal journal of the organ, and then send it to the newspaper office to show your face by the way, the political performance is not enough, anyway, it can increase face.

"Dangdang!"

Lin Zhuoyun held a shovel in his hand for several minutes, only dug a shallow pit, shook his arms and said: "The soil here is so hard, and the ground is full of stones. ”

"I'll help you plan. Song Weiyang smiled and squatted down.

They are all large and small stones, which are probably left over from the construction of the railway. Song Weiyang planed with his bare hands for a while, then asked Lin Zhuoyun to wield a shovel, and the two worked together to quickly dig a tree planting pit.

"Don't step on the soil too tightly and it's all solid. ”

"If you can't water so much, you'll drown the saplings!"

"The pit was dug a little deeper, it was too shallow. ”

“……”

Some of the railway workers were knowledgeable, going back and forth to guide them, and the volunteers were laughing at each other.

"Bang bang!"

The flag of the Fudan University Volunteer Association was planted on the side of the railway, and a train came and the flag fluttered in the gale.

The passengers by the window of the train all looked at them with curious eyes. Some of you who have read the news report of the volunteers, when they saw the flag, immediately stretched their arms out of the car window and waved, shouting: "Students, hard work!"

"It's not hard!"

"Friend, have a nice trip!"

"Hahahaha......"

There was laughter along the railway, and as it was near noon, everyone was tired and hungry.

Everyone took out the cloth sheets that had been prepared a long time ago, spread them on the ground as picnic cloths, and threw the food on it. Eggs, fruits, bread, steamed buns, biscuits, canned food...... There are all kinds of things, and it doesn't matter whose it is, anyway, you can eat when you get it, and you can talk passionately while eating.

A girl stood up nibbling on the fruit, laughing and shouting, "Students, how about we divide into two groups and have a song competition?"

"Good!" everyone responded.

In the spring in the suburbs, the singing is flying.

The leading cadres of the railway workers, looking at the youthful smiling faces, couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to be young!"
