The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Early spring in the South.

In Pengcheng in January, the flowers and trees are green, and the mood of spring is rippling.

As we enter the New Year, Shenzhen City is making great strides on the road of reform and opening up with great vigor and vitality.

……

In reform and opening up, we need to be bolder and dare to experiment. We should not be like women with small feet.If you are sure of something, try it boldly and break out boldly.The important experience in Shenzhen is to dare to venture.Without a bit of entrepreneurial spirit, without a bit of "risk-taking" spirit, without a burst of energy and energy, you can't find a good path, you can't find a new path, and you can't start a new career.

……

On March 3, Lin Zhiyuan held up that day's "People's Daily", carefully read the report, then closed the newspaper and closed his eyes.

Finally waited until this day.

After the speech during the Southern Tour, China's comprehensive reform and opening up opened the historical curtain, and an era that made people's hearts swell and make people excited has finally arrived.

The east wind blows and the eyes are full of spring, and the sun breaks through the clouds and the waves are thousands of miles red.

The giant ship of China entered the deep water area and officially sailed towards the ocean.

******

1992 was an extremely important year, as earth-shaking changes began throughout China.

Although the changes in Ge'an, a small inland city in the northeast, are not as obvious as those in coastal areas, it is also undergoing a transformation, or an unprecedented change.

There are more karaoke and dance halls on the streets of Ge'an, foreign-funded enterprises, and real estate companies. Commercial housing has begun to be recognized and gradually accepted by the people.There are more people doing business, and the commodity economy is booming.

But at the same time, due to the rigid system, backward products, lack of competitiveness, unreasonable personnel structure, overburdened enterprises and other reasons, after entering the 90s, a large area of ​​Ge'an's municipal factories fell into a state of loss, and this situation is getting worse year by year. A serious year.

For example, Ge'an Hardware Factory, which previously supplied leather steel, was beaten by Zhengxing Hardware and other southern factories due to various factors such as product quality and price, and was unable to fight back. It has been gradually kicked out of leather steel's supplier list. .

Had it not been for the timely coordination between the city and Le Gang, and for the sake of Ge'an Enterprise, it would have given it an order of 30 to [-] yuan a year, and this factory would have gone bankrupt a year ago.

But it's not much better now. An order of RMB 30 to 300 can only allow the hardware factory to maintain the most basic production. The once large factory with [-] to [-] people now only has one workshop left.

Gen'an Hardware Factory is just a microcosm of the enterprises in Gen'an City. The valve factory, high-temperature component factory, and electronics factory have all been closed. Even the largest textile enterprise in Gen'an, Chemical Textile Factory, has not opened its doors for several months. Salary.

A large number of workers without survival skills were driven into the society, while a small number of self-reliant people broke out and lived a decent life.

But more people are living a difficult life and are unable to find good re-employment.Some laid-off workers who are older, have lower education levels, and have no skills can only find some hard work in society, with low wages and instability.

If both husband and wife are laid-off workers, it will be even more miserable.Some people can't find a stable job after being laid off, and have no way to make money or start a business. Some people drink and play mahjong all day long, play cards and gamble to numb themselves, and live in a muddle.Medical care, housing, and children's education are all concerns.Some men are unemployed and rely on their wives to sing and dance in nightclubs to make ends meet, some are divorced, and some even turn to crime.

At night, the streets of Gen'an are bustling with entertainment. The wealthy bosses hang out with their friends, drive luxury cars, carry mobile phones, and go to hotels and karaoke bars to bathe and enjoy themselves. Many of the girls who accompany them with wine and singing are from bankrupt factories. Laid-off female workers.

They forced a smile and sold their remaining youth to maintain their family's survival.

Compared with the Ge'an municipal companies whose situation is getting increasingly serious and where victims are everywhere, the situation of the giant company Legang is slightly better. After all, Legang can still pay wages.

But that's all. The current situation of leather steel is not optimistic either.Although Li Zhenshan's thunderous operation took control of several units such as the slag factory, which saved Lesteel millions in expenses every year, this amount of money was nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Lesteel, which had 40 employees.

Continued reform is imperative.

After entering March, Li Zhenshan intensively visited the factories of three affiliated companies.

The full name of the affiliated company is Leather Steel Affiliated Enterprise Company, a collective enterprise established in the early 80s.The background at that time was that a large number of children of leather steel workers could not find jobs, and they wandered around the society all day long, doing nothing and causing trouble.

Many employees had strong opinions on this. Under such circumstances, Su Qiancheng, who was the general manager of Legang at the time, decided to establish a subsidiary company to recruit the children of Legang employees to do small jobs within their capabilities.

Under the conditions at the time, Su Qiancheng's decision was undoubtedly wise. He played a great role in promoting social stability in Ge'an and appeasing the employees.

But more than ten years have passed, and the social situation has changed again.

Subsidiary companies with little technical content and low production efficiency have become the biggest liability of Lesteel.

The affiliated company currently has more than 8000 employees, and its subordinate factories have various names, including youth factory, welfare factory, and comprehensive factory.

Most of these factories have no serious main business, and many of them only provide some supporting services to the main factories and mines. For example, there is a youth factory under the hot rolling factory, and the hot rolling factory assigns some odd jobs in the factory to it. Youth factories, such as cleaners, gatekeepers, bathhouse attendants, parking lot attendants, soda dispensers...

It is said to be called the Youth Factory, but it is actually the service team of the hot rolling mill. They are engaged in some of the lowest-end jobs without any technical content.

Li Zhenshan visited three factories intensively, namely the Youth Factory under the hot rolling mill, the Welfare Factory under the large factory, and the metal structure company.

Youth factories and welfare factories are basically similar in nature. They both provide services to the main factory.Only the metal structure company still has some business, but it is also the lowest-end one. The newly established wire rod factory will accumulate some scraps of wire rods every month. The metal structure company will buy these scraps and make some of the simplest hooks and small metal parts. products such as pieces.

After Li Zhenshan completed his research, he returned to the office with his eyebrows furrowed.

The situation was similar to what he expected. Of the 8000 people in the entire subsidiary company, at least half were living off the job, and the remaining half wasn't much better.

For these 8000 people, even if calculated based on a monthly salary of 360 yuan, Legang will have to pay 5000 million yuan in wages for these people throughout the year, plus bonuses, benefits, office expenses, and so on. Almost [-] million.

Only by getting rid of this heaviest burden can Le Gang go into battle with ease.

Li Zhenshan spread out a piece of letter paper, picked up the pen, and drafted a rough plan.
