"Well, if you have other better solutions, just discontinue it. There's nothing I can do about it, forgive me, brother. ”

"Thank you, brother, I've been very helpful, I have some new tea here to send you some."

"Didn't help, forget it. I'll talk about that later. ”

The two hung up the phone, and Yang Liufang immediately made a decision, so that Li Tongfu and Wang Shan began to think of a way to contact the tannery in Qinghai and Tibet in the shortest possible time, and urgently purchased a batch of cooked cowhide from them, and returned to the group for further processing. The chamber of commerce in Tibet and the chamber of commerce in Qinghai came to participate in the Western Trade Fair, and Yang Liufang was busy that day, so he was received by Li Tongfu and left a business card. After Li Tongfu communicated by phone, the next day the Tibetan Chamber of Commerce gave a reply, the Tibetan tannery's yak leather production, because of the use of German technology, high quality, but in Tibetan products are in short supply, there is no goods to be transferred out, if you need to customize leather, it will take a year later. This is even worse for the Liufang Industrial Group, which burns its eyebrows.

What was so frightening was that Wang Shan contacted the tannery in Xinjiang through the Bureau of Commerce. Unlike tanneries in Tibet, Qinghai and Gansu, herders could sell their hides to other provinces and cities, and Yili was the base of animal husbandry in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region. Therefore, the resources of cattle, horses and sheepskins are very abundant, so that the raw skins of Yili leather and fur enterprises can meet the supply, and the major tanneries have also made great progress.

Subsequently, some local leather enterprises saw this opportunity to expand their production capacity, so that raw materials and production capacity were quickly equalized, but Yili is sparsely populated, and the consumption and export capacity of finished leather are not guaranteed, so there is a large backlog of leather. Some factories have been losing money even since 1987 after expanding their production scale. For example, the largest local Yili Liqun tannery has recently expanded its tannery by 2,600 square meters, and purchased 6 sets of foreign equipment and 75 sets of domestic equipment. Four years of continuous losses, combined with the bank loans that were used at the time to scale up production, have led to the fact that they are now on the verge of bankruptcy.

As soon as they heard that some people were willing to purchase their leather in bulk, the director of the tannery personally led the staff of the sales department to carry more than 200 pieces of finished leather that had been tamed and dyed and fattened, and with the help of the local government department, the group took a special plane to Hanwangchuan Airport. Because it is a finished product, it means that after the group gets it, it can directly make related leather goods.

At that time, the Hanwangchuan Airport Expressway had been repaired, but because the airport reconstruction and expansion project had not yet been approved by the state, the Northwest Provincial Government only allocated a certain financial budget to repair the airport runway every year, and the dilapidated Runto and terminal buildings could not meet the needs of daily passengers. Therefore, after the airport expressway was repaired, it was not put into use due to the small passenger traffic of the airport. A group of people from the Yili Liqun Tannery in Xinjiang chartered a truck, and after four hours of bumpy loading of people and goods, they found the tannery of Liufang Industrial Group according to the demand information provided by the Yili Bureau of Commerce.

Because environmental protection was investigated, the tannery's electrical box was cut off from water and electricity, and the order for the Women's World Championship car was imminent, so these days Yang Liufang personally sat in the factory to command, and the whole group mobilized to actively coordinate the supply of goods. In advance, the other party did not communicate with Wang Shan, who was connected with the staff of the Commerce Bureau, and Li Wei, who came out to do business, saw the arrival of this group of people, so he couldn't help but unload the leather in front of the office building and hurriedly asked them what they meant. After the factory director explained, Li Wei understood and immediately came to Yang Liufang's office to report. At that time, the matter was urgent, and Yang Liufang sat in the office and deliberately did not let the door be closed, so that everyone could report the progress of the work. In this way, the staff of the group's office building soon learned about it, and ran out of the office one after another, and went downstairs to greet this group of guests who were sending charcoal in the snow.

Li Tongfu personally arranged, so that Li Wei immediately arranged for the quality inspection personnel of the technical department to inspect the leather, and the secretary in charge of logistics took work clothes for everyone, arranged for workers to take them to the shower room to take a bath, and arranged for the canteen to prepare sumptuous dishes. The guests who had not rested all night were deeply moved, and when Li Weilai reported that the leather belonged to the top class, the cooperation between the two sides was immediately reached happily at the canteen table.

Because the other party was grateful to Yang Liufang for their enthusiasm, he also insisted on reducing the price of each finished leather by 1 yuan, which was 5 yuan cheaper than the group's own tannery. When Yang Liufang learned the result, the tight heart spring was loosened, which not only solved the immediate problem, but also the subsequent development of the factory. When toasting with the director of the tannery from Xinjiang, a purchase contract for 10,000 pieces of leather has been reached, which is also the first time that Xinjiang Yili Liqun Tannery has established such a large purchase contract.

In the sound of "Yakexi", everyone raised their glasses and drank to a happy place, and the Xinjiang guests danced a unique folk dance, and everyone applauded and beat the beat, and gathered together.

The news of the shutdown of the workshop was announced through the mother-in-law of the secretary of the Red Clay Village and Xinye together. In the afternoon of the same day, workers who were waiting to start work at home and in their dormitories due to the suspension of production were summoned to the square in front of the complex. At this time, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the northwest autumn sun is very warm, riding the cool wind, in such a comfortable weather, the workers are talking.

"Is it time to start?"

"We are a state-recognized high-tech enterprise, and provincial and municipal leaders will not ignore it."

"Boss Yang is a representative of the National People's Congress, and the relationship between the province and city is good, so it is estimated that it is dredged."

......

But when they learned that the leather tanning workshop had stopped production, it was like a bolt from the blue, and the audience was silent, and a few minutes later there were cries in the crowd. The hope for the future of these villagers, who had just turned from farmers to workers and relied on their own skills to become well-off, was also shocked by this thunderbolt, and the closure of the workshop meant unemployment, and it also meant that the qualification to buy a dormitory building in the factory at a low price at the end of the year was lost. In the confusion and resentment of the workers, some shouted and scolded the Environmental Protection Bureau, and some went to the city government to petition. But it was stopped by the secretary's mother-in-law and Xinye, and the factory gave all the workers who were persuaded to quit due to the closure of the workshop for two months' wages. The simple villagers in the northwest are also very helpless about this, they know that the group has spent 3 million yuan to hire experts from Xizhou University to deal with the sewage discharge, and they also know that the profit of one of the group's projects has been reduced to zero because of the fine. Yang Liufang, the leader of the group, is a star entrepreneur in the province and city, and he can't do anything, what can he do as a civilian? I had to choose to accept it.

In the past two years, herders have become accustomed to selling raw skins to factories for 5 yuan more than to sell them to a state-owned purchasing station in Xizhou City than to sell them to a state-owned purchasing station in Xizhou City. Unlike the state-run buying stations, the group tanneries pay cash, which is the best way for herders who live on grass because cash can be spent, while white slips can only be cashed out at a specified time, and if they are lost during the migration, they cannot be cashed. In addition, the tannery has not collected the raw skins for several days since the ceasement of production, and the raw skins hoarded by some herdsmen at home are smelly. Some herdsmen drove horse-drawn carts back from more than 100 kilometers away to transport the leathers back, and the losses were even greater, some had to be taken to the state-run purchasing station, and some were estimated to have drunk too much along the way, so they simply threw some of the original skins that were about to stink into the Zhaomagou river. Approaching winter, the Zhaomagou River enters the dry period, the flow rate is slow, and pieces of raw skins float on the river, and the smell is stinking.

There are already many unemployed workers in the villages along the river, who have gone to the development zone to make trouble, demanding that the development zone clean up the river and protect the environment. Director Lu instructed the Public Security Bureau of the Development Zone to deal with the matter seriously, and the staff of the Public Security Bureau criticized and educated the herdsmen in the province. In addition to local herdsmen, there are also people from neighboring provinces, so there is territorial jurisdiction involved, and Director Lu and the staff of the district government are also helpless, so they have to ask the city for support.

After the municipal party committee and Vice Mayor Yu, who was presiding over the work, learned about it, they urgently convened a meeting because it was a mass incident. The result is only criticism and education of the herders concerned and reassurance of the unemployed workers. For the herdsmen in neighboring provinces, in addition to coordinating with the higher-level authorities to let the other party assist in carrying out legal education, he also asked Wang Taitai, the director of the municipal television station, to make a program to publicize the harm of tanned leather to the environment, as well as the fact that malicious dumping of leather has caused illegal crimes to the river and the blockage and pollution of the river water.

Director Wang set up a special department, which was responsible for the newly assigned top students of Communication University. Based on the principles of truthfulness and objectivity in journalistic work, these young people in the new era, who have received theoretical education in the news system, made a detailed report on the causes, process, and social impact of the incident, and broadcast it in prime time. The report reflected that the municipal environmental protection bureau only blindly used crude fines without reasonable guidance, resulting in the closure of enterprises that led the villagers to get rich and worked hard to control pollution, resulting in the loss of workers' jobs, and the state-owned purchasing station white slips and low prices, which caused damage to the interests of herders, and recently led to the dumping of rancid hides into the river, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among the relevant personnel. Soon Director Wang was transferred from Xizhou TV Station to any position at the Northwest Provincial Radio and Television University. The director of the state-owned acquisition station was also dealt with and became an office staff member in the Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau. The boiling tannery incident ended in this way.

A total of two wagons of leather from Yili, Xinjiang, arrived at the Liufang Industrial Group Tannery three days later through the Lanxin Railway, which had just been opened to traffic and undergoing electrification. The tannery was nervously engaged in the production of car seats for the Women's World Championships, and the leather in Xinjiang was of good quality and was finished, and the group company completed the task on time and with quality and quantity.
