Chapter 182 Status of Textile Mills

China in the 80s was a time of contradictions.

Or rather, he is a contradiction in his own right.

At the political level, two different systems are constantly colliding.

The collision of conservatism and reform.

Economically, it is equally contradictory.

On the one hand, there is still a shortage of materials in the country, and on the other hand, many factories have a large backlog of products, cannot pay wages, and even rely on bank loans to get by.

It is a serious obstacle to the development of the economy.

Some people even say that this situation is because of reform and opening up.

Before the reform and opening up, factories didn't have to worry about not being able to sell their products at all, and their lives were not too comfortable.

After the reform and opening up, their products could not be sold.

It's not the fault of reform and opening up, it's the fault of what?

In fact, this is an inevitable result.

With the development of society, the material is gradually enriched, and the original products can be digested by the city or county alone.

However, with the continuous expansion of production capacity, the products produced by the factory need to be sold farther.

As a result, contradictions arose, and many state-owned factories were accustomed to the planned economy, and the things they produced were allocated by their own planning committees.

There are supply and marketing cooperatives for sales.

The plant management simply had no concept of marketing.

Another important thing is the underdevelopment of transportation.

Even if the factory management consciously goes out and wants to sell things farther, transportation has become a big problem.

In the 80s, one was rough roads, and the other was a road rage of car bandits.

Although it has undergone a severe crackdown, the car bandit road rage is like a leek, cutting a stubble and emerging a stubble.

Transportation is a serious constraint on economic development.

A truckload of freight goes out, and the goods are robbed without waiting for the place, and it is good to be able to come back empty.

It is not uncommon for a truckload of goods to be sent out, and even people with cars and goods disappear.

This is definitely not an exaggeration, and anyone who lived through the 80s has experienced or heard of these things to some extent.

Zhang Liang set up a logistics and transportation company, on the one hand, to help the country resettle millions of veterans, and on the other hand, to open up the country's economic arteries.

Circulation, market economy, only when materials are circulated, can the economy be developed.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, although the words are ordinary, what can be said is the truth.

The circulation of materials and the development of the economy can support Deng Gong's reform and opening up from the side.

And Zhang Wolf can also take the opportunity to create a subsidiary of the world's top 500.

It's an investment that kills multiple birds with one stone.

This is also the fundamental reason why Deng Gong was able to have the courage to hand over millions of veterans to him to set up a logistics and transportation company after listening to Zhang Wolf's explanation.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhang Wolf will accept the autumn wind half-way and invest 100 billion US dollars to build highways in China.

"I hope you will cherish this training opportunity!

Work hard to learn new knowledge and contribute to the four modernizations of the country!

As I told you yesterday, your training results directly determine your future tense position, and this is not a threat!

You are only the first batch of trainees, and there are still the second and third batches of demobilized officers in the country waiting to come and participate in the training......"

It's not like Zhang Wolf is scaring them.

The disarmament of a million is not accomplished overnight, and disarmament will not be completed until 87 years.

After cheering up the demobilized officers and the management of the future logistics and transportation company at the Fude Hotel, Zhang Wolf returned to the Fude Building.

Wang Minggang is already waiting in the group to report to Zhang Wolf on the progress of the merger and acquisition of domestic textile factories.

"Lao Wang is here?" Zhang Wolf greeted Wang Minggang with a smile.

"No, no, I just arrived in ......" Seeing Zhang Wolf, Wang Minggang hurriedly greeted him.

"Let's go, let's go to the office and say!" Zhang Wolf nodded kindly at Wang Minggang.

Wang Minggang almost jumped up with excitement.

Since he won the beauty scheme, the company has lost more than 300 million.

Although Zhang Wolf only deducted his dividends for one year, he took away all the enterprises under his command and asked him to form a new light industry group.

Integration of domestic textile mills.

This is exile for anyone to look at.

During this time, Wang Minggang's life was not easy.

As for resignation, don't say that he is reluctant to give up his current job, even if he resigns ruthlessly, no one will use him as a person with a criminal record.

But not everyone is as rich as Zhang Wolf, and he can have 300 million for him to lose.

In order to atone for his sins, and also to redeem his position in Zhang Wolf's heart.

Wang Minggang, who accepted the new task, went to China and got up early and worked late to investigate the situation of textile factories in Lu Province, Jiangsu Province, and Zhejiang Province.

In order to grasp the most real situation, Wang Minggang personally went to various textile factories to understand the situation.

Since the 70s, China's textile industry has entered a period of rapid development.

By 1981, the growth of the textile industry was at its peak, a sevenfold increase from 1952.

Prosperity must decline.

This sentence is very appropriate for the textile industry.

After the boom of the early eighties, the country's textile mills began to inevitably enter a recession.

It's not that the market is in recession, but because of the blind expansion of production capacity, technological innovation can't keep up.

Most of the factories use machinery at least two generations behind the international community.

Many of them were given to the country by the Soviet Union in the fifties.

Backward machinery and technology mean low efficiency, unstable quality, and increasing costs.

This has caused many textile factories where the machines roar and the workers are busy, but the products cannot be sold, or the payment cannot be received because of quality problems.

Now this is just the beginning of this situation, and most people are not aware of it.

It wasn't until the early nineties that textile mills began to go bankrupt and close down.

Of course, there is no bankruptcy and closure of state-owned factories, only shutdown.

If you don't stop production, you can't stop production, and the more you produce, the more you lose.

Banks no longer dare to continue lending to them, they can't buy raw materials without money, and they can't produce if they want to.

The wave of layoffs in the 90s also kicked off.

After entering the office, Zhang Wolf beckoned Wang Minggang to sit down in the reception area.

He also did the opposite of Wang Minggang.

Soon, the assistant came in to make tea for Zhang Wolf and Wang Minggang and went out.

"Tell me about what you've investigated!"

Wang Minggang sat on the sofa with half his buttocks, straightened his back, and reported seriously like Zhang Wolf, "Boss, according to our investigation, the domestic textile industry is currently very prosperous, and it is a pillar industry ...... all over the country."

"Hmm!"

Zhang Wolf nodded noncommittally and motioned for Wang Minggang to continue.

"However, according to our investigation, we found that all textile mills have experienced varying degrees of decline in profits, and some textile mills have even lost money!

However, it is clear that the local governments in the country are not aware of this situation!

They are concerned about how much output the textile mill has completed in the last quarter and how much foreign exchange it has generated.

Never cared how much money the mill made, or how much it lost!"
