Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

Chapter 354 The Tragic Situation in the Cotton Mill

I thought that now that I had entered a large state-owned enterprise, I would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life.

Although the work was hard, I finally ate commercial grain, became a city dweller, and had a good job.

No one could have imagined that with the reform and opening up, giant state-owned enterprises such as Yongliang Cotton Textile Factory would one day face bankruptcy in the past few years.

It is so powerful that when it was most prosperous, it once entered the top 200 state-owned enterprises.

It is a well-known star enterprise in the province, with great success.

However, with the changes of the times, it cannot keep up with the needs of market development, and the mechanism is aging, so it will no longer work.

All this happened so quickly and violently that almost everyone was unprepared and caught off guard.

As a result, a large number of laid-off workers appeared in Yongliang City.

Most men go out to work part-time.

If you can't find a job, you push a tricycle on the street, or pull a tricycle and work as a coolie for others.

After hard work, earning ten or eight yuan a day, and being able to take care of one's own mouth, is considered good.

As for women, the older ones can only take care of the children and do housework at home.

Or work as a nurse in the hospital, as a cleaner on the street, or as a helper in a small restaurant.

Earn some money for food to make up for the family expenses.

Many young girls felt that this kind of work was too dirty and tiring, and the money came too slowly and too little, so they had to move far away to big cities or open cities on the southeast coast.

Some went to the provincial capital or other prefecture-level cities in the province.

Some good-looking girls go to high-end entertainment venues every day, or become the mistresses of rich people, or are kept by rich people.

Those ordinary-looking girls learned some massage skills and went to some health massage places in the city to work as massage technicians.

Those girls with unsatisfactory looks and hoping to get money quickly simply put down their dignity and went to some very low-grade roadside shops to start a flesh and blood business.

For some time, all kinds of ugly social phenomena have existed openly and openly in all parts of Jiangning Province.

Someone made up a jingle, saying: laid-off workers don't shed tears, they stand up and walk into nightclubs; they sleep with whoever pays them, and they start their own businesses without paying taxes.

Thinking of this, Zhou Haiyang couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his heart.

In his heart, he sympathized with the suffering of these sisters.

At the same time, I felt that the burden on my shoulders was much heavier.

To completely save these people, the only thing he can do is to save the cotton mill.

Zhou Haiyang believed that as long as he could save the cotton mill, he could bring it back to life.

I dare not say all of them, but most of the female workers who are scattered in various places are still willing to come back.

After leaving the living area, Zhou Haiyang went to the discontinued workshop to take a look and found that the equipment was well protected.

Zhou Haiyang asked the accompanying Factory Manager Yang: "What do you think about the factory's next work and future development?"

Factory Director Yang said: “Secretary Zhou, I have an idea, but it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

What we lack most now is funds.

Without funds, raw materials cannot be obtained and production cannot be resumed. "

"How much money do you think will allow the factory to resume production?"

"As long as you give me 2000 million yuan in capital first and let the equipment run first, the product will be ready."

"Now that the product is out, can sales be guaranteed?"

"We have no worries about market sales. There are several garment factories in the south, and the demand for the fabrics produced by our factory is still huge.

After all, it is an old factory and the quality can be trusted. "

Zhou Haiyang immediately said: "Okay, in two days the municipal committee will convene a meeting with the presidents of several banks to see if we can coordinate some funds for the cotton spinning factory.

However, you have to come up with a plan first. The key is how to reform the factory next.

If the factory does not reform, there will be no way out just relying on blood transfusions from banks.It can be saved for a while, but not forever. "

Director Yang said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I promise to convey the secretary's instructions overnight.

Start working out the reform plan as soon as possible and discuss it with the Standing Committee of the Listing Committee. "

In the next few days, Zhou Haiyang traveled non-stop to several remote counties in Yongliang to visit people in villages and towns.

Yongliang TV station and "Yongliang Daily" broadcast Zhou Haiyang's grassroots research as headline news every day.

In less than a week, he has become a household name in Yongliang.

In fact, before Zhou Haiyang came to Yongliang, he had already done a thorough research on the local situation and had some thoughts and ideas of his own.

What I have done so far is to verify my analysis on the spot, seek other people's opinions, and then improve my own ideas.

Zhou Haiyang decided to take time to talk to Qin Guangguang and Ge Tianliang separately to see what their opinions were.

One of them is the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's organization, and the other is the executive deputy mayor. It depends on them both to work.

But it’s really difficult to face such a mess!It’s even harder than I expected before coming here!

As the squad leader, in addition to doing good things, I also have to lead a group of people.

When you first arrive in a new place, you must unite a group of people and give them enough face.

In this way, everyone can think in one place and work hard in one place.

Ge Tianliang is a straight-tempered person and does not have a deep political background.

Qin Shiguang is different. He is about the same age as himself and has certain connections in the province.

This time he is also a popular candidate for municipal party secretary.

Just because he had no experience as a local leader, he lost to himself.

Zhou Haiyang knew in his heart that Qin Guangguang would feel somewhat uncomfortable about this.

For more than a month, he temporarily presided over the daily work of the Municipal Party Committee. When he saw the fish in his mouth, Zhou Haiyang got away from him.

Regarding the use of the above two people, Zhou Haiyang felt that he seemed more at ease with Ge Tianliang.

Ge Tianliang is in his 50s and will be stationed in a few years. He doesn't have many ideas and does not pose much of a threat to himself.

You can let him do his job and leave the daily work of the city government to him.

As for Qin Guangguang, he must adopt the strategy of pulling first and then fighting, and combining pulling and fighting.

Let him accept the reality, find his place, and pull the strings for himself.

If the two of them can cooperate well, it is not impossible that one day I no longer serve as the municipal party committee secretary, and I can recommend him to take over.

This point can be explained in private, intentionally or unintentionally, so that he can understand it in his heart.

If this kid doesn't know how to appreciate him, doesn't agree with him, or even fights against him, then he can't be merciful.

Even though he has certain connections in the province, he is not afraid.

Besides, after all, he is the top leader in Yongliang City, and the initiative is completely in his own hands.

In the next few years in Yongliang, I, Zhou Haiyang, will have the final say.

Whether it's Qin Guangguang or Ge Tianliang, if anyone doesn't cooperate, you can't blame me for being ruthless.

While Zhou Haiyang was thinking, the phone in the room rang.

He was stunned for a moment and picked up the phone.A middle-aged man's voice came from inside: "Hello, is this Secretary Zhou?"

"I am Zhou Haiyang, may I ask who you are..."

"I am Guo Tianxiang, Secretary Zhou. I wonder if you still remember?"
