At the end of the year, the Provincial Planning Commission and the Xizhou Municipal People's Government jointly held the Northwest and Xizhou New Products and Boutique Exhibitions in Xizhou. Because of the preparation of the three sessions of the Western Trade Fair, the organizing committee specially invited Liufang Industrial Group to participate in the preparation of the fair. The exhibition brought together 16 categories and more than 3,000 varieties of famous and high-quality products from 160 industrial and commercial enterprises in Northwest Province, including Liufang Industrial Group. A variety of satisfying high-quality specialties will provide a joy and New Year's gift to the citizens of Xizhou who are ready to celebrate New Year's Day in 1992.

When Yang Liufang listened to Wang Shan and Yanhua in the supply and marketing cooperatives to report on the sales results of this exhibition, the office of the provincial supply and marketing cooperatives called, and the other party heard that it was Yang Liufang, so he said: "Mr. Yang, it's just right, you don't need to let Yanhua convey it, President Li asked you to inform you that tomorrow and President Chengbei will come to the company to learn the spirit of the Eighth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee." Be sure to attend the meeting, and the supply and marketing system personnel are not allowed to ask for leave. ”

"Director Wang, can I ask about what?"

"It is the document of the "Decision on Further Strengthening Agriculture and Rural Work", which contains requirements for many functional changes in the future reform of our supply and marketing system."

"Okay, thank you, Director Wang."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Liufang continued to listen to their sales report, because it was a trade fair for Northwest Province, so they only exhibited office furniture and Simmons office and civilian products. Other merchants in the stores of the supply and marketing cooperatives also participated in the exhibition, but none of them could be counted in their turnover. Yang Liufang saw that in addition to the sales of VCD, the turnover was still hot, and there were no big surprises in other products, so he listened absentmindedly.

Looking at the watch at nearly four o'clock, I left the supply and marketing cooperatives to go to the provincial Taiwan to pick up Northwest Feng from work. She has been busy lately, and in addition to reporting on the trade fair, she also has to complete her own studies. It turned out that with the help of Liu Xia, Northwest Feng was admitted to Zhejiang University MBA, studied every day, and went to Hangzhou to take the school's final exam after a while.

Yang Liufang also couldn't figure out what an MBA was, and Northwest Feng told him that he was an education model from the United States. As soon as he said that he was from the United States, Yang Liufang thought he was playing basketball, and he said that although you are 168 tall, you don't have an advantage in basketball. After hearing this, Northwest Feng laughed so much that he couldn't get up on him.

"You look like you're a graduate student."

"Is it just learning and researching while working?" Yang Liufang understood this and deliberately made trouble.

"Pretty much."

"Then let's study how to make a living first." As he spoke, he hugged Northwest Feng and put it on the bed and kissed it......

The next day, because he was going to a meeting, he sent Northwest Feng to the provincial Taiwan early, and the two discussed that if she got off work, he hadn't finished the meeting, and Northwest Feng would read books and review the MBA exam in his own lounge in the provincial station, waiting for Yang Liufang to pick her up.

Yang Liufang arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, but the participants had not yet arrived, so he sent a cigarette to Director Wang of the office, and thanked him for informing him in the name of informing him. Director Wang actually gave him a copy of the meeting materials in advance and asked him to take a look at it first. Yang Liufang took it and sat on the sofa in Director Wang's office, flipping through the "Decision on Further Strengthening Agricultural and Rural Work."

In the section on supply and marketing cooperatives and on stabilizing and perfecting the party's basic policies in the rural areas and continuing to deepen rural reform, he particularly pointed out that supply and marketing cooperatives and state-run domestic and foreign trade businesses are the main channels for the circulation of commodities in rural areas, and it is necessary to speed up the pace of reform and enhance the vitality of operations. Supply and marketing cooperatives, credit cooperatives, and various agricultural product distribution and processing enterprises, and the service system voluntarily composed of farmers is an important part of the agricultural socialized service system. Supply and marketing cooperatives are cooperative commercial organizations under the collective ownership of peasants, and they should truly form a community of economic interests with peasants.

For example, in this part of the decision, there are the following key words: "rural commodity circulation," "speeding up the pace of reform," "enhancing the vitality of management," "collective ownership," and "forming a community of interests with the peasants." This also means that all other business scopes of supply and marketing cooperatives that do not conform to the above content may have to deepen reform, and the agriculture-related part should be further developed.

At the meeting, Yang Liufang communicated his views with the heads and actual controllers of various supply and marketing cooperatives in the province, and was recognized by everyone. At the meeting, it was decided that each supply and marketing cooperatives should fully respond to the spirit of the document, speed up the establishment of a separate agricultural and sideline products sales center in the cooperative, and provide corresponding venues. As for their Chengbei Society, because Liufang Industrial Group rented all the sites except for the warehouse and one and a half stores, and all of them were leased for three years, they could only vacate the store department rented by the semi-retail households for the construction of an agricultural and sideline products sales center. And this decision will not be implemented until the end of the year.

The meeting lasted for a whole day, and the food in the canteen of the head office was still unpalatable, and Yang Liufang ate a chicken leg at noon, and his stomach was already grumbling with hunger. As soon as the meeting ended, he drove his car to the provincial Taiwan, and when he arrived at the provincial station, he received Northwest Feng and asked her to take herself to the provincial and Taiwan canteen to eat, saying that the food in the canteen of the supply and marketing headquarters was not delicious, and she didn't eat at noon. In the cafeteria, Xi Xi Feng watched her dear gobble up her food, full of love, and handed him a napkin from time to time, envying her colleagues in the station.

Just three days after New Year's Day, there was a heavy snowfall in Xizhou City. Just in time for Sunday, people wake up from their sleep to enjoy the beautiful sight of thousands of trees and pear blossoms. In the year of the snow mega, everyone hopes that this first snow of 1992 will bring the hope of a good harvest. Yang Liufang is still living in the suite where he has lived for a long time in the Wolongshan Hotel, although he and Northwest Feng have been paired for a year, after all, the two have not yet obtained a marriage certificate, and they live in Northwest Feng's house, which is always not good in the concept of people in this inland city in the northwest. Although Xi's father and mother didn't say anything because of their feelings, he and Northwest Feng couldn't be ignorant. At the same time, it is also convenient for Yang Liufang to live here to do business, and he can get all kinds of news through the hotel, the "small political center" of Xizhou, and it is very convenient to go to the industrial and trade company, the supply and marketing cooperative, and the tannery, and it is only 40 kilometers away from the furniture factory. No matter where there is something that needs to be dealt with, when the phone cannot be solved, he can drive there quickly.

At this moment, he and Northwest Feng were lying side by side on the windowsill in pajamas, looking at the snowy scene outside the window. The childlike spirit went to the window glass to draw the shape of the "heart" and the name of the other party, as well as write "I love you". was having fun, the big brother rang, and when he saw that it was the phone of the supply and marketing cooperative, after receiving the notice, Lao Chen's hurried and slightly excited voice came.

"Mr. Yang, something is wrong in the market!"

"The market? Which market? ”

"Wow, the wholesale market!"

"What's wrong?"

Lao Chen made a detailed report to Yang Liufang on the phone about what happened in the wholesale market. It turned out that after a night of snow, due to the indoor heating of the wholesale market, and the new roof insulation effect was not good, the snow continued to melt, slowly penetrating the sponge interlayer in the roof color steel tile, with more and more water, through the seam fell into the merchant's stall, and the goods in the stall also suffered, many were soaked by the falling snow. Some of the merchants who came early stopped doing it and ran to the market office to ask for explanations, and some of the merchants who sold paper and quilts simply threw the water-drenched goods directly on the floor and desk of the market management office. As more and more merchants in the market were found, more and more damaged goods were found, and the office was soon filled with wet goods being thrown into the office. The staff ran out with their heads in their hands, and they had to endure the questioning and abuse of the merchants.

"Which dog thing changed the roof, when it was not changed, there was no such situation for so many years, and the new one was replaced in less than ten days for us to suffer such a big loss."

"Lose money!"

"Lose money!"

"Is it because your managers are corrupt?" The West Zhou wholesale market belongs to the management of the provincial supply and marketing cooperative, in addition to the replacement of the roof of the supply and marketing headquarters out of a part of the funds, the remaining part of the merchants to make up their own money, originally everyone was dissatisfied, this time finally found an outlet for venting.

"Let's go, go to the supply and marketing headquarters to find their leaders."

More than 1,000 merchants in the market gathered in a mess, and some of them took the lead and shouted and walked to the streets. The market management personnel were busy shouting to stop him, but the crowd did not listen to him at all, and several managers could not stop it at all. Seeing that the situation was not good, the manager immediately reported to President Li of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. President Li hadn't gotten up at that time, and as soon as he heard that the merchants were going to the street, he climbed out of the bed in his small pants and first called the Municipal Safety and Stability Maintenance Emergency Management Office, which was manned 24 hours a day. After understanding the situation, the Security Office immediately organized manpower to go to the market, and asked all the police officers of the station station to go to the nearest station to prevent merchants from going to the street and wait for the city leaders to come forward to solve the problem. Subsequently, officers and soldiers of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Provincial Armed Police Fire Brigade also arrived at the scene to calm the emotions of the merchants.

President Li went out of the house after washing, and asked the driver to take him to the city for a meeting first, regardless of the difficulty of walking on a snowy day. Vice Mayor Yu personally presided over the meeting room of the municipal government, and there were two telephones at the meeting, one connected to the scene of the armed police fire brigade, and the other connected to the market management office. The person in charge of the fire brigade and the public security bureau reported the cause of the accident very clearly on the phone, and it was a problem with the construction of the roof of the market. The material insulation does not meet the standard, the flame retardant is not up to standard, and the seams are not waterproof during installation. And in order to cut corners, many places are spliced with leftovers, which leads to this water leakage.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely dull, and President Li, as the person directly in charge, needed to give an explanation, but he was very calm at the moment, because the bidding process of this project was in line with the procedures stipulated by the province, and the construction unit and the supervision unit were all enterprises directly managed by the province. The most important thing is that during the construction process, they have reported the unqualified materials to the supervision unit, but the supervision unit and the construction unit do not care about their report at all, and there are city leaders to say hello, saying that the wholesale market is the wholesale market of Xizhou City, not a certain person of the supply and marketing cooperative, so that the supply and marketing cooperatives have less to worry about, just receive and manage the market.
