Chapter 14 Woollen Mills

The city's textile industry was once a pillar industry, starting in the Republic of China, and there was a glorious era of seven woolen mills and two major printing and dyeing factories. However, after entering the 90s, both state-owned and private wool spinning enterprises began to lose money on a large scale, and gradually came to the end of the road, and frequently closed down, went bankrupt and closed down.

The full name of the woolen mill that Secretary Jiang is going to is called "the third woolen mill", and the people are commonly known as "Sanmao", the largest woolen state-owned enterprise. Five years ago, it was insolvent and unsustainable. The issue of Sanmao's bankruptcy and liquidation has long been on the agenda of the city government, but because of the resettlement of thousands of employees of state-owned enterprises, the city has not been able to make up its mind to break the wrist of this strong man.

The previous secretary hesitated, and the problem dragged on until now. The arrears of wages to the workers in the factory are as high as tens of millions, and the workers' petitions are intermittent, which has a great negative impact, which is an important factor for Secretary Jiang to arrange the first public activity after taking office in the woolen factory.

Two minibuses and a whizzing police car sped along the sparsely trafficked Xinhua North Road, which later became the city's main road and was later rebuilt and expanded three times to a two-way eight-lane road.

Guo Yang looked out through the car window, the familiar and unfamiliar city scene flew in front of his eyes, and after a while, the dilapidated and overgrown gate of the woolen mill appeared in his field of vision, and at the same time, there were also factory workers crowded on the side of the road waiting for Secretary Jiang's arrival.

Men, women, and children helped the old and the young to stare at the way they came, and surrounded the two sides of the road into the factory, which made Guo Yang breathtaking.

On the official bus, Director Sun of the Municipal Party Committee Office changed his face greatly, and he was very annoyed, secretly complaining that his subordinates were not doing things well, and the confidentiality work was not in place. The emergence of so many people at once poses a potential hidden danger to the leader's travel. But when it comes to this, it's all coming, and there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway.

As soon as Secretary Jiang got out of the car, the crowd surrounded him with a bang, and the accompanying police officers of the Municipal Public Security Bureau were very nervous, so they could only protect Secretary Jiang back to back as much as possible.

Guo Yang also got out of the car, and a group of reporters stood outside the emotional crowd, with black heads as far as the eye could see, and they couldn't see where Secretary Jiang and the officials were.

This kind of scene is obviously not suitable for photography and photography, and it cannot be published if it is filmed, so the reporters have nothing to do but wait anxiously on the side of the road with their equipment on their shoulders and see how the relevant parties end.

Guo Yang ignored the noisy and noisy scene in front of him, in fact, in his opinion, there is nothing to be afraid of, these old state-owned enterprise workers just want to complain to the main leaders of the city to complain about their grievances and make demands - in fact, the requirements are not too much, just make up for the arrears of wages in recent years, and then give a clear statement, what should the woolen mill do in the future, go bankrupt and go bankrupt, anyway, it is not the first bankrupt woolen factory, but the workers must be properly settled.

Although the employees have a deep affection for the factory and are reluctant to close, they are still most concerned about their personal interests.

In Guo Yang's memory, the factory area of the woolen mill included the living area of the workers, and later, under the promotion of the city, the land was packaged and sold to a large real estate enterprise in the province to develop and build a commercial housing community, and at the same time the construction of a hospital and a primary school was started.

The city used the land transfer money to repay the arrears of wages for the workers of the woolen mills, and a large number of workers bought out their seniority to find a way out. As a result, there was a surplus of funds, so additional financial allocations were made to build hospitals and schools. Guo Yang believes that this is the most dazzling achievement of Secretary Jiang in office for four years, and it also opened the prelude to the era of the city's land finance replacing tax finance, and the real estate industry began to flourish, housing prices gradually rose, and there were waves of soaring around 08 years.

Obviously, Secretary Jiang should have been confident about this a long time ago, so he made a public appearance in the woolen mill and dared to face the angry employees of state-owned enterprises.

Guo Yang walked in a walk, bypassing the group of woolen mill workers who were "going forward and following" to try to have a direct dialogue with Secretary Jiang, and entered the living area of the woolen mill workers who were only separated by a wall on the adjacent side.

Rows of beige four-story buildings are lined up one after another, and they are neatly planned as far as the eye can see. Two north-south and east-west cement roads are cross-shaped and connect the entire living area. Along the road there are canteens, shops, health rooms, clubs, basketball courts, and boiler rooms for heating living quarters.

Guo Yang stood at the door and lit a cigarette, looking at it casually, several naughty children laughed and pushed the iron ring and ran from the depths of the living area, he smiled, and suddenly his eyes lit up at the moment he turned his head.

No one noticed that his deep gaze was projected on the image of two male and female textile workers made of small mosaic tiles on the wall of the building in front of him, the floodgates of memory were opened because of some kind of carrier touch, and the tide of information swept through Guo Yang's heart, his originally calm face turned red, and the corners of his mouth trembled with excitement.

"Comrades of the workers, don't mess up, don't rob, I came today just to listen to everyone's voice, in this way, you elect a few representatives, let's go to the conference room in the factory to talk face-to-face, how about it?

Secretary Jiang's slightly hoarse and low voice shook the audience through the loudspeaker, Guo Yang took a deep breath, calmed down, and without hesitation, turned around and strode away.

Secretary Jiang had a dialogue with employee representatives in the woolen mill. It lasted from morning to more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no meal at noon. In the beginning, the discussion was held behind closed doors in the conference room of the woolen mill, and it was only later that reporters from all walks of life were allowed to enter the meeting.

According to the requirements of the Propaganda Department, the caliber of this public opinion report mainly focuses on how Secretary Jiang visits the woolen mill, talks with the workers, and cares about the lives of the workers, but as for how you write the manuscript, it depends on the reporter's personal search for the entry point of excavation.

At half past two, Secretary Jiang left in the car, and the reporters dispersed. On the way back to the newspaper office by taxi, Guo Yang and glasses Zhang received a pager message from Zhou Bing: "Yangyang, I miss you......"

Guo Yang flipped through the screen of his Motorola Hanxian pager, and a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Glasses Zhang hesitated for a moment, took out the slightly bulky sky-blue flip Ericsson mobile phone from his school bag, and smiled: "Girlfriend? Xiao Guo, use my mobile phone to call back." ”

At present, mobile phones are still expensive and fresh luxuries, and those who are the first to use mobile phones are either rich or expensive. Glasses Zhang actually had a mobile phone, which surprised Guo Yang.

"No, thank you, the phone bill is so expensive, and it's nothing serious, just go back to the unit to call." Guo Yang shook his head, although he politely refused the kindness of the glasses, he still couldn't help but smile and asked: "Director Zhang, you are really extravagant enough to quietly use a mobile phone." ”

"My daughter-in-law bought it and used it for me temporarily. Glasses Zhang casually stuffed the phone into his bag, Guo Yang blinked, and then he remembered that Glasses Zhang's wife seemed to be in business and opened a trading company.

"I forgot, my sister-in-law is a big business, by the way, what company is from?" Guo Yang asked casually.

Glasses Zhang sighed: "What kind of big business is it, it is to open a dance hall, stay away from home all day, and the children don't care, this kind of money is not to be made." ”

The interest of the glasses is obviously not high.

Guo Yang sighed, knowing that this involved people's privacy, so he couldn't ask more.
