Chapter 44 The friction between the old and new systems is fresh from the reformers
According to Wu Liang's proposal in the bidding document, the establishment of the development company has finally started. Wu Liang after the prior operation, the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bank and the Municipal Construction Bank in front of the Municipal Construction Committee Director Gao said that the working capital loan of the third province is all covered, Director Gao saw that there is the support of these two major banks, indicating that the reputation of the third province has achieved a fundamental improvement, so he said to Wu Liang, you go to the provincial construction committee to ask for the approval, I agree. However, there was no statement on the establishment of a development company by the two banks, but there was no opposition to it.
Wu Liang immediately went to the provincial capital and found the director of the Provincial Construction Committee, and the director said, you go and find me with Director Zhao of the Real Estate Department. Wu Liang went to Director Zhao, and when he arrived at the director's office, the director said, "You have handled the approval of the Provincial No. 3 Development Company." Director Zhao said that the Ministry of Construction prohibits construction companies and banks from setting up development companies. The director said, isn't it just a speech, I read it, is there a document? Director Zhao said, I will listen to the director's speech. When the director heard this, he immediately started a fire, and pointed at Director Zhao's brain with a pencil, let me tell you, what kind of place is this? It is the Provincial Construction Committee, I am the director, I will do it immediately, without delaying for a minute, notify the two banks, and draft the documents immediately. Director Zhao had no choice but to obey the order, and immediately called the director of the Development Department of the Nenshui Municipal Construction Committee and asked him to report the document number. When Director Ren heard this, he was surprised, we haven't discussed the matter of the third province to run a development company, why did it come to you? Director Zhao said, don't talk about it, the director of the committee asked me to do it, you can draw up a document number, and I will draft the approval document according to the document number. Director Li is embarrassed, this matter has to be told to our director in charge. Director Zhao said impatiently, Okay, you should immediately report a document number, and report the document number of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Construction Bank of your city together. Wu Liang is here with me, waiting to get the approval document back. Director Li still insisted, I have to ask for instructions. Director Zhao is in a hurry, my words have been said to this, you can do it, I don't have time to wait for you. Do you still want the director of the committee to tell you personally? Director Li had no choice but to draw up a document number and report it. After getting the approval, it was close to getting off work late, Wu Liang said to Director Zhao, let's eat, find a restaurant close to your home, and buy some new fruits, this is not a gift, if you want me to take the money, I can't afford it.
The next day, Wu Liang sent the approval documents to the two banks. The two banks are very grateful, saying how many stamps must be stamped after this procedure. It is said that Wu Liang took the approval document to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a license, and people laughed and said, can you apply for a license with this? The city government has to have an approval to let you build here? Wu Liang had no choice but to find the Investment Department of the Municipal Planning Commission, and the director sneered, your provincial company is really big, play with us as fools, the municipal government is my competent department, has the mayor held an office meeting? Wu Liang had no choice but to go to Brother Wang, the director of the construction department of the Municipal Construction Commission, as soon as Director Wang heard the intention, he picked up the phone and called the investment department of the Planning Commission. Don't pretend, hurry up, this is a new buddy, how can you do it step by step? You can do it quickly! You let him come in the afternoon.
Wu Liang was overjoyed when he heard it, rushed to the afternoon, and immediately drafted an approval document in the name of the municipal government, approving the establishment of a development company in the third province, and sending a copy to the departments of industry and commerce, taxation, planning, fire protection, civil air defense, and construction committee.
Wu Liang has just been in office for half a year, relying on his personal advantages and the team he brought out, overcoming many obstacles, stabilizing the situation, the production situation has been carried out well, the established development company has begun to operate, the road seems to be getting wider and wider, and the prospects are brilliant. At this time, he decided to start the project, which has entered the construction stage after the relocation, and has a smooth relationship with several banks, and it is expected that everything will go smoothly and will bring the company into a new stage of development. Wu Liang later looked back on this brief journey with great pride, and through the new project, he painfully experienced that it was a set of shackles imposed on him at the wrong time that put him in a difficult situation and a desperate situation.
In September 1988, the autumn was crisp. After the three provincial moves, a large amount of money was urgently needed, but unexpectedly, the State Council decided to rectify the economic environment, rectify the economic order, and implement a severe austerity policy in response to the situation of rising prices. This made the internal financial resources of the third province, which was already stretched, not belong to the projects of governments at all levels to protect the death, and suddenly fell into a predicament, Wu Liang felt that he wanted to cry without tears, calling the sky should not be, the earth was not spiritual, and he could not take half a step forward; Retreat is a cliff. The workers had no work, their wages could not be paid, they began to gather to petition, the evictions were also urging, and some brothers who were close to them began to distance themselves from them. Some of the original latent contradictions began to surface, and Wu Liang's ears gradually heard criticism of him, so happy, blindly embarked on the project, and dragged the company into a desperate situation; Valuing buddy righteousness is an authentic small-scale peasant consciousness, too narrow-minded; The work style is rough, too domineering, one-worded, and will not lead the team; The foundation is too poor, the foundation is too thin, and he is not from a professional class, so he is so capable of water, and he will be a squad leader, captain or something, leading such a large company, hum. Fu Qun, Liu Jun, Wan Qiang, Li Hui, Xiao Rong, Zhao He and a group of brothers who got along with him blew the wind to him from time to time, and some of them spoke out to him. Wu Liang was naturally very annoyed when he heard this. What's bad is that the company's senior management also has people who slap the table with him, saying that his buddies are too righteous, protect the interests of buddies, do not focus on the overall situation of the company, assign this and that buddy to be responsible for the project, and those buddies do not give him a long face, use the company's reputation, take the company's equipment, use the company's manpower, do the company's solicited projects, poor project quality, and customer disputes, especially the lack of payment or even development to not pay management fees, the company is empty, and a lot of debts are counted on the company's accounts, and some things that damage the public and private are done, I made enough money to buy a house and land, and finally said that it was difficult for him to end. Wu Liang has actually fallen into a deep predicament, and he also realizes that he has become a loser in those buddies, but his own knife can't cut his own handle, knowing that some buddy friends who were very good in the past use his power and influence to do anything wrong, but he can't clean it up because of the situation. Even Fu Qun, who was the most intimate with him, talked about him behind his back, saying that he couldn't tell when he came to his office, took out a wad of money from his pocket and threw it on his desk, and left without saying anything. Soon, after the project he had worked so hard to recruit, and gradually assigned tasks downward, the person who undertook the task said that the equipment had become tattered, the funds were tight, it was difficult to be ordered, and the company was almost shut down, and he did not expect that the defeat would befall him so soon. Although Wu Liang realized that his confidants had become a big problem because of arrogance, he had developed from the initial desire to get rid of it to the lack of ability, but at this time, there was an incident of suspected covert operation in the process of assigning self-built houses to catch lots and divide houses, which made him fall into an even more embarrassing and embarrassing situation.
He is still struggling to survive the crisis in anxiety. In the blink of an eye, it was Layue in 1989, and it was almost a year old, and he was helpless, so he went to his superiors again. It was the 27th of the lunar month, and at night, he and Xiao Han, the office director, and Xiao Qu, the driver, lived in a room on the 7th floor of the civil aviation building in the provincial capital. He stood silently in front of the window, anxiously thinking about the way out, he had been staring at his eyes all night until dawn last night, and he was still standing there staring at his eyes and experiencing the taste of desperation. He was so irritable that he felt scratching his heart and liver, pushed open the window, dressed in single clothes, faced with the biting cold wind blowing in his face, but he didn't feel the cold at all, and his mind flashed to see the scene of the boss of the Lin family shop jumping off the building when he was young, and from time to time he jumped out of the picture of the employee's petition, thinking that he would either resign or jump down, and the idea of jumping down invaded his mind strongly, becoming more and more intense, and his body couldn't help but lean forward, widen the window, see the ground below, jump down and jump down, as if someone was calling him, at this time, The two entourages who had been observing him for a long time immediately called him, what are you doing? And immediately walked over, and then closed the window tightly. Director Han pulled him to the bed and said, don't catch a cold, hurry up and sleep, you see what time it is! When he looked at his watch, it was already 4 a.m. He said, "Sleep, I can't sleep." They seemed to see something, and sat there watching him, and sat in a daze until dawn.
At more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Wu Liang walked to the street, he never went to the mall, he subconsciously walked into a shopping mall, and the lottery tickets were being sold next to the door on the first floor, and the first prize was a refrigerator. He inadvertently bought two tickets and won 2 yuan in the scratch lottery, and the sight of money stimulated him to be extraordinarily energetic, after all, what he needs most now is money. He immediately threw everything behind him, took out another 10 yuan to buy 5 tickets, and scratched it all Xie Lu Xie! He then bought it again, and at this time his mind was full of lottery tickets, and he was almost crazy that he sometimes won 10, 20, 40, and bought as many as he could. Won two post-40 scratch lottery tickets have been piled up on the counter, earned more than 100 have changed the lottery ticket, spent a total of more than 200 yuan, full of nothing. Seven or eight people stood beside him, and there was no more to buy, and the two women who sold lottery tickets were scared when they saw a middle-aged man in his 50s or so carrying away behavior, so they said to him, there is no first prize in these lottery tickets, don't buy it. He suddenly sobered up when he heard this, and was amused by his crazy move just now, sorry, I'm sorry to make you laugh, I'm not for the refrigerator, I just think it's too exciting for me, it's crazy. I'm sorry! After saying that, he changed hands and left.
The cold wind blew outside, and the brain was much more sober, looking at the watch at 5 o'clock, I suddenly thought that the two brothers were still in the hotel, and the two people couldn't see him and couldn't find him in a hurry, and quickly found Director Liu of the Finance Department of the Provincial Construction Committee. At this time, when I saw him coming back, I asked him with concern, what did you do?
He said, "It's seven hundred, which just opened." They also said, you never go to the store, why is there such a Yaxing today?
Director Han knew the difficulties and pressures he was facing, and felt sorry for him, but he was also angry about his behavior, so he said angrily, you can't leave like this in the future, where can I go to find you, what is really wrong, how can I explain when I go back?
Wu Liang smiled and said, it just so happens that Director Liu is also here, let's find a restaurant to drink. 4 people ordered 6 dishes and served a bottle of wine, Director Han easily stopped drinking, took the open bottle of wine and said to Wu Liang, I will drink some today, to be honest, this wine is not enough for you to stuff your teeth, so drink something. His normal amount is one bottle at a time, and he drinks it when he holds it, but today he is unusual, always holding wine, and his mood is extremely heavy. Director Liu said, this time it won't work, wait for the opportunity, don't wait, the committee is about to have a holiday, you should also go back to arrange a holiday, and prepare for the New Year. I'll do my best to help you figure it out. He apologized to the director, he should have gone to his brother's house to pay New Year's greetings, I'm sorry, I can't go, let's make up for it. Director Liu said, okay, let's hurry back tomorrow morning. After drinking and saying goodbye, the three of them returned to the hotel room, Wu Liang still couldn't put his mind at ease, thinking about what to do. Thinking about it, he took out the manuscript paper and pen from his pocket, and said, you two sleep, I'll write something. He drafted an open letter to the director of the Provincial Construction Committee, the director of the Provincial Department of Finance, and the president of the Provincial Construction Bank, in which he thanked the leaders for their trust in him, made him take the post of the third provincial manager, wrote how he struggled in the predicament, worthy of the Jiangdong fathers, and described the current desperate state of the company, at this moment his desperate state of mind, if there is another way out, will never cause trouble to the leaders, I hope to get the understanding and support of the leaders.
After he wrote it, he revised it three times repeatedly, and the night passed like this, Director Han woke up and complained, why is it another night? Wu Liang said, get up, you quickly copy it for me, don't make mistakes or omit words, it's too disrespectful, and then find a typing place to type out and proofread word by word to send it out. Director Han was still wondering, what was written overnight, and he couldn't make a mistake, so he took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, hey, what are you writing this for? When he heard this, he said angrily, let you copy it, you can copy it well. Director Han had to sit at the table and make a noise, copying does not stop, I write Russian better than Chinese, oh, what are you writing these for?
Wu Liang said angrily, what are you muttering in shock, what should you write and what you shouldn't write, I don't know what to do, you can do whatever you want. Waiting for the letter to be sent out, Wu Liang felt happy to vent, and his mood became extremely relaxed, and said to Director Han and Xiaoqu, on the way back, we will go to the service area where we often go, order four dishes and a bottle of wine, and the three of us will have a good meal and drink it well, and then go home. I like to eat the fried pancakes that are rolled with bean sprouts and shredded potatoes, so you two can order whatever you want. As soon as the car got on the highway, Wu Liang told Xiaoqu to open the disc of Journey to the West and make it louder, as long as it doesn't affect your driving. Wu Liang chatted with great interest about appreciating music and reading classics, I never get tired of listening to this disc, and then there is, the theme song of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the louder the sound at the beginning, the better the effect. The song in the Dream of Red Mansions, I also love it very much, the lyrics can be remembered, it is really a true portrayal of Cao Xueqin's mood, the story told in it, it is unforgettable to read, especially the funeral flower chant, full of sadness, the song written by Wang Liping is simply a divine comedy, which makes people listen to it and feel angry, the person who sings it is not very famous, it is FAW, but this song makes her sing sad and moving, and the expression of emotions makes people feel shocked when they listen to it, it is too strong, unlike Journey to the West, impassioned, Even more touching than the most famous singers. Xiaoqu interjected, I don't want to listen to this song. Wu Liang looked at him and said, if you want to read the Dream of Red Mansions well, you are willing to listen to it.
Wu Liang felt that his fate was uncertain, and he seemed to be controlled by an unpredictable force, but he was still strongly looking forward to it, working hard, and stubbornly but in vain to fight. The frustration again and again strengthened his willpower more and more, and made his life course clothed in tragic colors. Wu Liang remembered what Wu Wei had said to him, the friction between the old and new systems was lubricated with the blood of reformers, and then thought of his own situation in front of him, and shook his head helplessly.
