Rebirth 96: Peak of Power

"Linzhou is a major agricultural city. In this regard, we have certain advantages even in the country."

As the mayor of Linzhou City, he spoke first.

Zhou Pengcheng smiled and nodded: "I know this. Linzhou only occupies [-]% of the country's land, but produces [-]% of the grain output. From this point of view, Linzhou’s position in agriculture is already very important.”

"Comrade Pengcheng actually knows our Linzhou so well? You should be able to blurt out such a number?" He Guotao was a little shocked.

Zhou Pengcheng smiled and said: "First of all, it's because Linzhou relies on our Jiangzhou. Secondly, my wife is from Linzhou. Of course, in the end, I have actually thought about similar problems. So I checked the information, which made Secretary He laugh. …”

"Comrade Pengcheng has better basic skills than many cadres in Linzhou City." Lin Kaiming also had to admit that it was not easy for someone who was not a local cadre to be able to do this.

this moment!

Both He Guotao and Lin Kaiming had a touch of respect for Zhou Pengcheng.

Respect needs to be earned by oneself.

Qiu Mingyu's face turned red when he listened to Zhou Pengcheng's words. Compared with his so-called eloquent talk before, he felt that people like Zhou Pengcheng were the ones who really did things.

"Mayor Lin, you are so flattering. Agriculture is the foundation of a country and its people. Our country is a populous country, and it is not easy to feed more than one billion people. But now, in our country, With hard work, we have achieved it. But after we can fully guarantee the supply of food, do we have to think about something else?"

Zhou Pengcheng looked at He Guotao and Lin Kaiming and asked with a smile.

"Comrade Pengcheng, please give me some advice." Lin Kaiming said humbly.

"Mayor Lin, we are just discussing, not giving advice. Not everything I say is right. If there is anything I say that is not good, please criticize and correct me." Zhou Pengcheng bowed slightly.

"Well, young people, don't be afraid of making mistakes, and speak your thoughts boldly. Even if you make mistakes, it's still an attempt..." Mr. Wang smiled lightly and gave Zhou Pengcheng an encouraging look.

Zhou Pengcheng nodded and said: "In terms of agriculture, grain processing is one way to go, but some places are already doing it. If we do it now, we will actually have market share. Several large state-owned enterprises in Linzhou City I have also learned about the company. I heard that Linzhou Food Factory is already..."

"Linzhou Food Factory's annual losses are as high as more than 2000 million and close to 3000 million. There are nearly a thousand employees in the factory. Now they can't even pay their wages. It's a pity. I think back then, our food industry in Linzhou City The factory is outstanding even in the whole province..." Lin Kaiming sighed softly.

"There are historical reasons for this. In the past, some leaders were greedy for pleasure, which caused the factory to suffer a lot of losses, resulting in backward equipment and backward production capacity. Coupled with the rigid one-bowl mentality, many employees no longer want to make progress. It is really a pity. Oh..." He Guotao also said helplessly.

"In fact, we can consider restructuring." Zhou Pengcheng said with a smile.

"We have thought about restructuring, but it is difficult and there is no direction. The most important thing is that once so many workers make trouble, the impact will be too bad. I have discussed it with Secretary He many times, and the problem of Linzhou Food Factory is also It has been said many times on the table, but you also know that this is a matter involving the livelihood of a thousand families, so we have to be cautious." Lin Kaiming frowned.

Zhou Pengcheng's words actually hit their pain points.

Mr. Wang asked directly: "The reform of state-owned enterprises has been continuously deepened. Why haven't factories like this been solved until now?"

"Mr. Wang, first of all I have to admit that this is a problem with my working ability." He Guotao said immediately and cautiously.

"It is indeed not easy to restructure such a large factory, but the more difficult it is, the more courageous the reform will be reflected. If it continues to be delayed, what will be delayed? What will be delayed is Linzhou's finances, and your finances are all Isn’t it a crime for ordinary people to spend their hard-earned money on such a business that has no fighting spirit?”

Mr. Wang's face darkened slightly, and his tone of voice became a little harsh.

"Grandpa, in fact, what happened to the Linzhou Food Factory can hardly be blamed on the Linzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. The leaders who wanted to promote reforms were eventually transferred. And Secretary He and Mayor Lin came at the wrong time. It’s extremely long. They want to break such a deadlock in a short time, and they are tough. It’s really rare..."

Zhou Pengcheng was not helping He Guotao and Lin Kaiming to speak, but what he said was indeed true.

It would be great if all the work was done with words.

But when it involves so many families, so many people and livelihoods, we have to be cautious.

Even some people will do some extreme things, which is still unknown.

"Can a tough guy do whatever he wants?" Mr. Wang asked directly.

Zhou Pengcheng hurriedly said: "Grandpa, in fact, the most important thing is to go back to the problem that Secretary He and Mayor Lin just mentioned, that is, the government has intentions but no direction."

"We also sent some inspection groups to inspect some companies, but it is indeed difficult to learn from and imitate. When food factories used to be monopolies, they did make money. But now with reform and opening up, there are more channels for commodity circulation. , their advantage was gone all of a sudden. Therefore, it is not easy for such a large factory to transform..." Lin Kaiming nodded.

"After all, there is no development direction that can make both the government and the factory confident, right?" Mr. Wang asked directly.

"That's it, Mr. Wang, we have considered some development ideas, but they were all rejected in the end." Lin Kaiming could only tell the truth.

"Pengcheng, what you just said, do you have any development ideas?" Mr. Wang looked at Zhou Pengcheng and asked.

But everyone has beads of sweat on their foreheads now. Since they have been discussing it for so long, it must be extremely difficult!

Although Zhou Pengcheng just mentioned the problem of Linzhou Food Factory, raising problems and solving problems are completely different things.

He Guotao said softly: "Comrade Pengcheng, the restructuring of food factories is indeed very difficult, and our municipal party committee and government dare not take action rashly. There are indeed some companies on the market that deal with deep processing of food, but after we went to see it, we all felt Not very suitable…”

"I do have an idea, but it can only be said to be an idea. As for the final decision, it was Secretary He and Mayor Lin."

Listening to Zhou Pengcheng's words, He Guotao and Lin Kaiming felt like they were hearing the sounds of nature!

If today's conversation with Zhou Pengcheng can really solve the long-standing problem that plagues Linzhou, then it will really be a big pie falling from the sky!

Just, is this possible?

He Guotao and others looked at Zhou Pengcheng with suspicion. After all, if it was really that simple, how long could they think about it?
