At the end of 1991, Nihon Heavy Industries Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.

Yoshio Saji and Jiro Koizumi stood at the door of the factory with gloomy faces, wearing dark suits and ties, as if they were waiting for some important guest. They had been standing for a long time, but they had not spoken a word to each other, nor had they shown an anxious or helpless expression. Their minds seem to have become numb, and the emotions that should be vented have long since been exhausted, and now there is nothing to say.

The person they are waiting for is their old rival, Lin Zhenhua, chairman of the Hanhua Heavy Industry Group Company of China.

The turning point of the matter began with the China-Africa Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum held in Nanjing and Shanghai at the beginning of the year.

Accompanied by He Haifeng, Gao Zuxing, and leaders of Jiangnan Province, Jiangsu Province, and Shanghai Municipality, Comrade Xiaoping, who had already taken a back seat, suddenly came to the forum and had brief exchanges with some foreign businessmen.

During the visit, the magnificence of Jiankang Home Appliance Mall also left a deep impression on the old man, especially when he learned that An Yan, the chairman of the mall, was just a young girl who was concave years old, he was even more appreciative, and specially called the staff around him to take a group photo of himself and An Yan. Because of this, Xiong Lijun was so jealous that his eyes were about to fall out, and he kept complaining in his heart about why Lin Zhenhua didn't bring the old man to the Big Bear Mall in Shanghai. However, he also knew that this kind of thing was really not something that Lin Zhenhua could control.

After the visit, a group of people gathered around the old people to the large conference room of Jiankang Mall, and He Haifeng and other officials reported on the organization of the forum, possible achievements and so on. The old man listened attentively to the report, interjecting a few words from time to time, asking for some seemingly inconspicuous details.

After listening to all the reports, the old man nodded and said: "It is very remarkable that you were able to hold such a successful economic and trade forum at a time when Western countries were imposing sanctions on us, especially the comrades who directly handled this matter. Comrade Zu Xing, this is also an important achievement of your Ministry of Foreign Trade. ”

Hearing the old man call his name, Gao Zuxing, vice minister of foreign trade, said: "Comrade Xiaoping's success of this forum is inseparable from the vigorous assistance of the leaders of the State Development Planning Commission, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai Municipality, and Jiangnan Province. Here, I would also like to mention a few comrades in particular, who, although they are not state cadres, are able to actively share the country's worries, and this spirit is very worthy of being promoted. ”

"You're talking about Xiao An and Xiao Xiong, right? Indeed, as two private entrepreneurs, they were able to put aside their own business and put a lot of energy into arranging such a forum, and this spirit is commendable. The old man said.

Gao Zuxing said: "That's right, I'm talking about the two comrades An Yan and Xiong Lijun, but in addition to them, there is another comrade who is also very worthy of commendation, that is, Comrade Lin Zhenhua of Hanhua Heavy Industry in Jiangnan Province." The overall planning of this forum was completed by Comrade Lin Zhenhua, and the two comrades, An Yan and Xiong Lijun, are both friends of Lin Zhenhua, and they can go all out to organize this forum, to a large extent, for Lin Zhenhua. ”

"Oh? What is the reason for this? The old man asked with a smile, the smile on his face that made him realize that he knew everything and just needed someone to speak for him.

As a matter of fact, Comrade Xiaoping made a special trip to visit the China-Africa Economic and Trade Forum this time, and one of the purposes was to define Lin Zhenhua's affairs. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Haihao wrote an internal reference about Lin Zhenhua's experience, and he has already read it. He Haifeng and other leaders of some ministries and commissions have also submitted reports to the Central Committee, demanding that reform figures like Lin Zhenhua be given a correct evaluation.

Not long ago, the technical design of the Jiangbei Beiqifeng 10,000-ton ethylene renovation project, which is a key national project, was a complete success, and the State Development Planning Commission, the State Council's Major Equipment Office, and the Petroleum Corporation held a grand groundbreaking ceremony for the project at Jiangbei Petrochemical. The political significance of the start of this project is far greater than the economic significance, and it means that the foreign technology blockade on China has gone bankrupt, and other large foreign enterprises that are still hesitant to maintain the high-tech blockade on China have begun to waver because of this incident. ,

The briefing on the 450,000-ton ethylene transformation project was also sent to Comrade Xiaoping, in which Lin Zhenhua was mentioned again, emphasizing that Lin Zhenhua was the first contributor to the technical research of large ethylene. The content of the briefing was written in twists and turns, which mentioned that such a person in charge of presiding over the research of major national projects was removed from his post for some reason when he was at the most nervous time of tackling key problems, and he not only had no complaints about his dismissal, but also specially sent his wife and sister to the research site to continue to support the research of the project.

This briefing was written so straightforwardly, naturally at the behest of He Haifeng, and Gu Jiahuaxin, who was in charge of drafting the briefing, wrote down everything that should be written.

With such foreshadowing, how could the old man not know who Lin Zhenhua was, he asked Gao Zuxing about the reason for this matter, naturally in order to use the topic to play and say some thoughts he wanted to say.

Gao Zuxing specifically proposed Lin Zhenhua on this occasion, and naturally he also considered it. He had already learned the old man's thoughts through some connections in advance, and when he spoke like this at this time, it was clear that he wanted to sing a duet with the old man.

At this point, Zou Shulin, secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, could no longer sit still. This Lin Zhenhua is really fragrant outside the wall, and the province has suspended him for review, and he actually tossed out such two big things outside, one Feng Wanwan Daethylene, and the other China-Africa Economic and Trade Forum, which is not a great event in ordinary times, but in the current international situation, it has the effect of four or two thousand pounds, and it is impossible not to let the leaders of the Central Committee pay attention to it.

But such a young man who has made a significant contribution to the country has been punished in the province. For Lin Zhenhua, this punishment is simply a lottery hanging during the war, and the more bloodstained it is, the more it can prove his glory. But for Jiangnan Province, this is a great embarrassment, people are working hard in the front, you are stabbing in the rear, which side are you on?

"Comrade Xiaoping, on behalf of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, I would like to make a self-tie discussion. In the case of Comrade Lin Zhenhua, we made the mistake of being subjective and arbitrary, and before we had a clear understanding of what happened, we made the decision to suspend Comrade Lin Zhenhua from his post for examination out of the idea of protecting the cadres. Now it seems that this decision was very hasty and very wrong ....... Zou Shulin said sneeringly.

"So, is Comrade Kobayashi's situation clear now?" The old man asked slowly.

Zou Shulin said: "It's been figured out." By the way, some time ago, the media that made false reports on Comrade Lin Zhenhua has officially apologized to Comrade Lin Zhenhua. According to them, the reporter in question was a temporary worker, and in order to achieve the goal of sensationalism, she seriously violated the professional ethics of journalists and fabricated some false content. At the moment, the journalist has been fired. ”

"So, is Lin Zhenhua's phenomenon a surname or a surname?" The old man asked sharply.

Zou Shulin's head was dripping with sweat, and he said stubbornly: "We have already investigated, the predecessor of Hanhua Heavy Industry was the labor service company of Hanhua Machinery Factory contracted by Comrade Lin Zhenhua, and its nature,... It belongs to the joint-stock cooperative system, which includes state-owned shares, as well as shares of Comrade Lin Zhenhua and some other workers and cadres. Later, after the merger of Hanhua Machinery Factory, Qiyang Bicycle Factory and Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory in Xiangping Province, Hanhua Heavy Industry was established. From the perspective of equity structure, although the proportion of state-owned shares is the highest, it does not reach more than 50%, so there are some hidden dangers. Our current consideration to go ",..."

The old man interrupted Zou Shulin's words, and said: "Who said that more than 50% of state-owned shares are socialism, and below them is capitalism?" ”

"This ......." Zou Shulin was a little speechless. This is not a question that can be answered casually, because in the traditional concept, public ownership occupies the main body, which is the basic characteristic of socialism. However, listening to the old man's meaning, it seems that he has some disdain for this concept.

In fact, Zou Shulin, as a feudal official, is also very open in his ideology, and he knows very well that this kind of controversy over who has more and who has less has no value for the country and society, and if there is any value, it can satisfy some people's hobby of pursuing "the purest and most orthodox". However, can he say this kind of thing casually? ,

The old man seemed to know Zou Shulin's thoughts, he looked at Lin Zhenhua who was sitting in a corner with his eyes, and said: "Comrade Xiaolin, come and talk about it, do you think your Hanhua Heavy Industry is socialist or capitalist. ”

Among the people in this room, except for the service staff, Lin Zhenhua is undoubtedly the lowest-level. If the staff hadn't called him in, he would probably have had to stay outside the conference room and wait honestly, just like those department-level cadres in the province and ministry. When the leaders spoke just now, Lin Zhenhua was silent, which was relatively rare in the history of his participation in the meeting.

Hearing the old man's question, Lin Zhenhua quickly pretended to be shy and said: "Comrade Xiaoping, I am a businessman, I only understand technology, not politics, so I am afraid I can't answer your question." ，、

The old man smiled and said: "Comrade Xiaolin, you don't need to be modest, you understand politics very well, and you also understand economics very well." It doesn't matter, if you have any ideas, speak up boldly, all of you here are some old comrades, and we very much need to hear what you young comrades think. ”

Lin Zhenhua's prevarication, of course, is just a gesture. Hearing the old man's encouragement, he straightened his chest and said: "Okay, I'll just dare to say a little bit of my own opinion, my point of view is that there is more public ownership or more private ownership, and this is not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism." The fundamental characteristic of socialism lies in emancipating and developing the productive forces and satisfying the growing needs of the masses in their material and cultural life. My advice is: don't ask the surname of the company! ”。 Strive for more updates today... Let's see me in action!
