Chapter 214: Hitting the Rocks
1984 was indeed a wonderful and energetic year.
As a key year for the implementation of the policy, in the middle of this year, the reform and opening up has passed the initial stage full of controversy.
In the surging calls for "loosening" and "relaxing", and in the value orientation of "everything is centered on economic construction".
The factory director responsibility system has begun to be implemented in more and more enterprises.
Retail and service shops and outlets of sale have also begun to be allowed by the state to operate collectively or individually.
As a result, the ghost of the market economy has safely descended on the land of the republic, the steering wheel carrying history has completely determined the direction, the accelerator has been stepped on, and an era of materialization is destined to come head-on.
As a result, Li Jingwei, who did not hesitate to block all the boats, won the "Olympic designated drink" for "Jianlibao".
There is a link between the income of workers and the workload. Feng Gensheng, director of Hangzhou Sinopharm No. 2 Factory, who was called "the first factory director to break the 'iron rice bowl'" by the media.
There is also an "open letter" posted at the gate of the Shijiazhuang Paper Mill in public, saying that if he is allowed to become the factory director, the annual profit will be 710,000 yuan, and the income of workers will also increase.
In fact, many of the most famous companies were born in this year.
Haier's Zhang Ruimin, Lenovo's Liu Chuanzhi, Vanke's Wang Shi and others all started in this year.
Later, people regarded 1984 as the first year of modern companies in our country.
However, it must also be admitted that due to the increase in participants and the liberalization of policies, the new situation has become complicated, and the economic tide has become more turbulent.
It's like the river flows to a steeper slope and a reef underwater.
Not everyone can adapt to this intensity, successfully avoid danger, and continue to follow the ups and downs of the rushing waves.
Like some time ago, Bu Xinsheng, who was still the leader of the reform trend, was "broken and sunk" during this period.
After daring to win the affirmation of his superiors at the beginning of the year, the whole country once again set off a frenzy of reporting on him.
Not only has he personally completely established the status of "reform star", but Haiyan Wuyuan Town has also become a pilgrimage site for national enterprise reform.
Since then, people from all over the country have continued to come to inspect and study.
Like Lu Guanqiu, the founder of Zhejiang's "Wanxiang Qianchao", he made a special trip to Haiyan to visit at that time.
I didn't expect that there were too many people waiting to see Bu Xinsheng, and Bu Xinsheng's factory gate was full of cars every day.
If it weren't for the help of two Zhejiang reporters, Lu Guanqiu almost returned disappointed.
In addition, Bu Xinsheng is indeed very good at speaking.
What "can go up and down", "break the iron rice bowl", many popular words came from his mouth back then.
So everyone will continue to help Bu Xinsheng spread his reputation after he goes back, which leads to more and more people coming to him.
In fact, throughout 1984, in addition to receiving interviews and visits in the factory, Bu Xinsheng was invited by various places to make reform reports in all walks of life.
Even during the two sessions, he was specially arranged to make a speech at the Great Hall of the People.
It can be said that the limelight is not the same for a while.
It's just that this kind of political life has also produced certain side effects.
That is, Bu Xinsheng's heart inevitably floated, and his personal expansion.
At the same time, most of his time is busy with the study of reform and the discussion of reform.
There is no energy and time to focus on the management of the factory.
So the blind arrogance, and the gradual detachment from reality, soon prompted him to make a major mistake.
That is, he decided to find a bank loan to match shirts, suits, ties, printing and dyeing Jackie Chan, and became the largest suit enterprise in the country.
The goal is ambitious, but it's a pity that when Bu Xinsheng discovered the phenomenon of "suit fever", he was already an afterthought.
And he vainly tried to eat a fat man in one bite, and the construction period of the 6,000-square-meter suit building planned was too long.
Even because of his fame, whether it is above or below, he can't hear a single voice of doubt at all.
In this way, when the workshop was completed and the machines could be started, even the farmers in the countryside wore suits to work in the fields.
One can imagine what the actual sales of the product will be.
It is safe to say that, almost from the very beginning, this hugely expensive investment project was doomed.
It was the failure of this decision that suddenly pulled Bu Xinsheng down from the peak of his career.
A few years later, he was dismissed from his post by his superiors and became a symbol of being submerged by the tide of reform.
Even the Haiyan Shirt Factory was saddled with heavy debts because of this, and it never relented.
And the sad thing about this incident is precisely that no one knows whether Bu Xinsheng would have become a more remarkable figure if he had not had such a high honor and reputation, and whether he would have really brought Haiyan Shirt Factory to the world.
At the same time, this incident also made everyone suddenly wake up.
I understand that entrepreneurs are a very special idol and a very utilitarian profession, because they only judge heroes by success or failure.
When the company is good, you are an idol, but once your company is not good, the meaning of all your idols will be subverted.
Coincidentally, almost all of the mistakes made by Bu Xinsheng were problems that Hong Yanwu had solemnly reminded Director Yang to avoid.
From this point of view, although Director Yang's personal ability is somewhat insufficient, he is not a bold pioneering leader.
There is even a bit of an official who has a good face and loves to tell big truths.
But on the other hand, it is precisely these shortcomings that make him more careful in his work, and treat every important decision carefully, lest he take a wrong step and cause losses to the public.
That's why he was able to follow Hong Yanwu's advice in a good way, so as to avoid these "reefs" that Bu Xinsheng encountered.
This really has to be said, it is a kind of luck for him personally, and it is also a kind of luck for all the employees of "Polar Bear".
Of course, in this era of heroes, in fact, most of the people who can rise to the top are not cowards.
Even the so-called "lucky" inevitably requires individuals to have certain qualities and ethics in order to obtain and keep.
For example, Director Yang also has the advantage of a public heart.
He is not only strict with himself, but also very good at dealing with the power in his hands.
And he is also a pragmatic person, able to be flexible as appropriate, and not a completely dead-eyed person.
This is not within the reach of ordinary leading cadres.
Interestingly, if you talk about people who are in a similar situation to Director Yang, there is actually another person with the same blessings.
That is Hong Yanwu's cousin, Zhaoqing in Longkou Village.
The reason why their village-run handicraft factory was established was, of course, also because of Hong Yanwu's help and guidance.
And his advantages are obviously a lot more than Director Yang.
Maybe it's really related to the Hong family, first of all, Zhaoqing and Hong Yanwu have many similarities in terms of genes, and he also gave birth to a shrewd brain.
Otherwise, how could he be the first person to enter Beijing to sell eggs, and the first to make a fortune on quails?
The second is that Zhaoqing has a good father.
Yuntai has experienced the vicissitudes of life, and her stomach is full of good things.
He only has such a son, so he naturally works Zhaoqing from the bottom.
Knowledge is secondary, the key is the philosophy of living in the world, and the understanding of politics.
This makes Zhaoqing's open-mindedness and vision, and his understanding of human nature and the world extraordinary.
And the most important thing is that Zhaoqing is not a person who has been admitted to university, and he is very studious.
In addition to reading a lot of books, he is especially willing to consult with the elders and learn from people who are better than himself.
Not to mention anything else, every time he enters Beijing, he is most willing to chat with the Hong family up and down.
Especially Hong Lucheng and Hong Yanwu, as soon as they chatted with them, they forgot the time and forgot to eat.
Even in Longkou Village, after becoming the factory director, he often called Hong Yanwu to discuss problems.
And he also has a good daily habit.
It is to listen to radio news on time at 6:30 in the morning every day, and watch "News Network" regularly at 7 o'clock in the evening.
In addition, the newspapers he subscribed to the library were also an indispensable pastime for him to read after meals.
It is through these various sources of information that he has always maintained a keen eye for changes in the outside world.
This completely broke the limitations of his residence in a mountain village, and even had his own understanding of business management.
Therefore, in fact, even after the factory was regularized, Hong Yanwu almost never paid attention to the village factory.
Zhaoqing relied on himself to manage the factory in an orderly and prosperous manner.
The most commendable thing about him is that he understands both economics and politics.
No, in the past two years, he has been strict in the factory, trained manpower, and bought a car.
This makes the supply of goods to the capital more and more, better and better, more and more convenient.
Of course, revenues are also growing in tandem.
When it comes to specific benefits, Longkou Village has not only become a village with "three turns and one sound" thoroughly.
It has also become the first village in Fangshan where every household has a TV.
Although most of them are black and white, they can't be compared with the "Huaxi Village" where all of them are "color TVs".
But in the suburbs of Beijing, it is also second to none, and it is amazing.
It's easier to even bring the young people of the village to say goodbye.
Who isn't the right person to pick up right now?
Can these be said to be the credit of Zhaoqing?
It's the same with the official face.
From the day Zhao Qingzi began to lead the villagers to become rich, he held high the banner of "collectivism", and the goal was common prosperity.
Moreover, through the clever design of the distribution system, it is guaranteed that there are neither poor households nor billionaires in the village.
There is nothing more in line with the needs of the current society and the masses of the people than this, neither to arouse hatred nor to widen the gap between the rich and the poor.
To this day, under the guise of "walking on two legs", he relies on hired people to increase the strength of agriculture and handicrafts.
Longkou Village not only has the most famous and profitable township enterprises in Shili and Eight Townships, but also completely realizes self-sufficiency in grain production.
He also helped many people in the surrounding villages get out of poverty.
How can this not make Secretary Lin in the county often talk about Longkou Village and proudly praise it as a pearl in his palm?
So even if you need to face a situation similar to Bu Xinsheng, with Zhaoqing's personal qualities and this intelligence, it is enough to deal with it very well.
