Volume 2: Ecology Chapter 209: Overcapacity Enterprises Struggle to Survive

Lessons learned from the opening of the tannery, a few days after the sandstorm ended, the tannery's tanning workshop was restarted and the production of panels began. Yang Liufang simply did not hold any opening ceremony this time, nor did he invite any leaders, but just asked Yanhua to go to the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce with the company's information and her ID card to add and change the business scope on the original business license of the factory. After the change was completed, the furniture factory and the panel factory started the production of whole house customization and panels.

At this time, the basic decoration of the dormitory building of the furniture factory has been completed, and after the acceptance of the construction committee, it can be sold internally in accordance with the "Opinions on Comprehensively Carrying out the Reform of the Urban Housing System" issued by the State Council in November last year. Yang Liufang applied to the leaders of the construction committee several times for the acceptance, and asked them to organize a team to come over for acceptance, although the relationship is very in place, but the housing involves the residents for a lifetime. Especially during the critical period of reform, when they did not study the documents clearly, they were extremely cautious. In particular, the document clearly stipulates that the overall goal of this housing reform is to start with the reform of the low-rent system for public housing, gradually change from the distribution of benefits in kind to the distribution of monetary wages in public housing, and let households obtain the ownership or right to use the housing by buying or renting houses. Housing should enter the market as a commodity, and a virtuous cycle of housing capital input and output should be realized.

According to this requirement in the document, it seems that only public housing will enter the market circulation, and once public housing enters the market, it will be the same as the current dormitory building of Liufang Group. However, public housing is backed by the state, and is comprehensively calculated by the housing allowance and length of service of workers, so it is obviously inappropriate for Liufang Group to sell according to the leasing and purchase standards of public housing. Therefore, before the construction committee clarified the situation, they had been prevaricating the overall acceptance of the dormitory building.

At the same time, in response to the spirit of the above-mentioned "Opinions" of the State Council, the housing reform of local governments across the country has also begun to be implemented. Among them, Beijing and Shanghai, which are big cities, are relatively standardized for the operation of housing as a commodity because of the relatively rapid implementation of the market economy. Some small and medium-sized cities are relatively poor, like a carnival before dawn, with benefits, seniority, and subsidy styles emerging in an endless stream. After public housing was transferred to the market, because of these factors, the preferential proportion of housing became higher and higher, and the leading cadres of the long-term service and the relevant state-owned units occupied a large number of housing, while some outstanding young intellectuals, engineers and technicians, due to their short working years, could not obtain housing conditions that matched their abilities, and the housing reform entered a state of chaos. These Yang Liufang were not able to meet in person, and the leaders of the construction committee of the competent unit talked about these when they had dinner with him, and they were glad that they did not give them acceptance, so that their dormitory buildings could not enter the market in the form of commercial houses for sale for the time being.

Reform is "crossing the river by feeling the stones", and under the planned economic system, everyone is accustomed to the public housing system, once a person enters the state-owned enterprises and institutions, it means that housing, children's schooling and their own pension are inseparable from the unit, so it is an unprecedented attempt to involve housing reform. In light of the actual situation of the market, at the housing reform work conference in June 1992, the State Council proposed to suspend the housing reform, so as not to violate the principle of distribution according to work under the market economic system, and the more serious consequence was the loss of state-owned assets.

Liufang Industrial Group's dormitory buildings cannot be sold, and most of the country, like them, are waiting on the sidelines for the State Council's new housing reform policy. Because there are no new houses entering the market, the decoration and civil furniture market has also entered a depression period, while Liufang Industrial Group's whole house customization and plate production are in a state of surplus. Faced with the panels and plates stacked in the warehouse, Yang Liufang simply started experimenting on the group's dormitory building project and decided to install a few model rooms. In this way, once the State Council has a new policy, when provinces and cities allow housing to be sold, they can also sell whole-house custom furniture through model houses.

The national economy is a system, which is more suitable for the "butterfly effect" that is very vivid. After the State Council halted the reform of the housing system, Yang Liufang learned from Northwest Feng that not only him, but also the country's construction industry, building materials enterprises, decoration and the larger steel industry and aluminum alloy industry are showing overcapacity.

"My dear, in such a situation, the people can't buy these steel and aluminum alloy building materials to eat, and the government will also come forward to solve it, right?" Yang Liufang asked the wife of the host of this economic channel from the car of the provincial Taiwan sister Northwest Feng from work.

"My dear, it's useless to be in a hurry in this situation now. The emergence of this dilemma is a worldwide problem. Since the Gulf War at the beginning of last year, the global economy has been in a state of downturn, and in addition to the economic blockade imposed on us by almost all countries in the world led by the United States, we are also struggling. ”

"Then we can't sit still, can we?"

"Well, the best solution that economists have come up with at the moment is that governments, especially those in developing countries, should use fiscal policy to increase efforts to promote infrastructure construction and solve the bottleneck of economic growth." In the end, Northwest Feng is the pillar of the provincial and Taiwan economic channel, and professional economic information will be obtained as soon as possible.

She also told Yang that this month the central government had adopted the recommendations of economists and began to aggressively improve transportation infrastructure across the country. From the East Line Expressway around the island in Hainan Province to the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway connecting the capital and the northeast region, it was built almost simultaneously, and some sections of the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway have been opened to traffic. Even more hopeful is the Xibao Expressway near the Northwest Province, because it connects the three major cities of Xiping, Xianfeng and BMW in the northwest of China, and has readjusted its planning plan in response to the economic crisis. From the original two-lane to four-lane road, the original plan of 100 kilometers has also been adjusted to 151.97 kilometers, with a total investment of 7.37 billion yuan.

Specific to the city of Xizhou, where they are located, the construction of the road to the development zone, which has been delayed after the completion of the airport expressway, will be started, and the loess road that has been trodden for generations will also be widened. Secretary Shi led the villagers to introduce a furniture factory for the benefit of the villagers, and the village demonstration road, nicknamed "Yingbin Road", built with a shovel and a shovel, was also expanded as the main road connecting the airport expressway and the development zone. It turned out that the roadside had been growing for five years, and it had already become an excellent street tree for the villagers to enjoy the shade after tea and dinner, and was required by the Provincial Department of Construction and the Department of Transportation to cut down uniformly.

Because the trees belonged to the furniture factory donated to the village collective, and promised to buy back, the state gave a certain amount of compensation, and the Liufang Industrial Group repurchased it uniformly. This makes the raw materials of the furniture factory more excessive, and after these logs are felled, they have no own metabolic function, and if they are not processed in time, they will soon be eaten by insects, and can only be broken into pieces to make MDF. When the economy in the market is not affected, a plug-in board made of willow wood is more expensive than a MDF made of sawdust and veneer. In 1992, when the per capita wage was six or seven hundred yuan, the purchasing power of 100 yuan was very strong, enough for a family of three to consume food for half a month.

This is only more than 10 kilometers from the three-way road to Shibi Village, and the section from the airport expressway exit to the three-way road also has a lot of felled trees, and there is nowhere to put them and they are sold to furniture factories. In order to avoid greater economic losses, the tanneries under the group had to increase the production of panels. The consumption of panels in the decoration market is almost at a standstill, which makes the already full warehouse begin to be overwhelmed. In order to alleviate the pressure, the group had to temporarily transfer workers from the project of the agricultural center of the supply and marketing cooperatives to build a new warehouse. In this case, the subsidiaries of the group company and the companies in which it invests do not have any source of income, and this is the first time that the group has been unable to make ends meet since its establishment.

In addition to the construction of transport infrastructure, the protection of the World Heritage Site in the Northwest Province is also on the agenda. The Provincial People's Government recently approved the establishment of the Tanghuang Tourism Economic Development Pilot Zone and the Lin'an National Economic Development Pilot Zone, wanting to use a two-pronged approach to stimulate domestic demand from multiple perspectives such as tourism and economy. The Provincial Planning Commission also submitted to the government the "Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Tertiary Industry in Northwest Province." In the face of difficulties, the Chinese nation has once again demonstrated its unity and strength, and the whole country has made concerted efforts to tide over the difficulties.

Because of the inconvenient transportation of road construction and the semi-stagnation of the production of the furniture factory, Yang Liufang rarely went back recently, and like all couples in love, he and Northwest Feng began to officially live together. Yang Liufang picks up Northwest Feng to and from work every day, like a loving little couple.

These leisurely and anxious days continued into August, when the water-starved northwest began to experience hot, dry weather. The construction of the agriculture-related center of the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative, which has entered the final stage, began to attract investment in the whole of Xizhou under the auspices of the president of the Chengbei Society. Affected by the overall economic downturn, it is very difficult to attract investment, and even the administrative staff of the whole supply and marketing cooperatives have been asked to brave the scorching heat to go to the countryside to carry out propaganda, and there are few responders. According to Yanhua, by the end of the month, the whole supply and marketing cooperatives had only recruited two units, each of which asked for two shops, and these two units were the enterprises that went to Beijing with Yang Liufang to participate in the National Economic Development Zone Exhibition the year before last. I reluctantly came in by relying on President Li's relationship, and the rent was as preferential as Yang Liufang.

According to the plan of the supply and marketing cooperative, this agriculture-related center in the north of the city will be put into trial operation in mid-September, and it will be officially opened on the 11th National Day. Now there are only two weeks before the trial operation, and nearly half of the shops are still vacant, and the president of Chengbei is also anxious, not to mention him for the loss of state-owned assets, even President Li can't afford it, so he privately discussed with Yanhua to see if it can be taken over by their group company. Yanhua was noncommittal, and asked Yang Liufang to ask Yang Liufang, who didn't know whose idea it was, so he first asked Yanhua to convene a management meeting of the group company, and first unified opinions internally.

The management meeting of the group company is scheduled to be held on Monday, September 8, which is the first plenary meeting held by the group's internal management personnel this year. supply and marketing cooperatives Yinhua, Lao Chen father and son; Wang Shan, Industry and Trade Company; furniture factory Shi Yong, Shi Fang, Daga, Xiaoga; tannery Wang Xinye, Secretary Wang's mother-in-law; Shi Fang and Shi Yong of the furniture factory; Li Wei, Technical Department; The directors of the three canteens, as well as Qin Jiajun and Zhang Feng of the Ministry of Transport. Because of the involvement of the booth of the agriculture-related center, Uncle Han was also invited to attend.
