In May 1982,
The economic pillar of Yuezhou region is mainly based on light industries such as textiles and printing and dyeing. Almost every township commune, and even every village, has several textile factories.
Many smart farmers went to state-owned textile factories to buy some obsolete second-hand textile machines, took them home to repair them and continue using them, and then started weaving cloth at home.
People in the Jiangnan region are generally willing to endure hardships. When they make money from weaving, they don't spend it lavishly to improve their lives. Instead, they continue to grit their teeth and increase their investments.
At first, there were only one or two textile machines at home. Later, the scale gradually grew, and we had three, four, and then more than ten or twenty machines. It could be called a small and micro enterprise.
This old-fashioned textile machine is semi-mechanical and semi-manual. Turning it on, off, and changing the shuttle all require manual operation. One worker can only manage two machines at most. In addition, workers are also required to run the supporting facilities, which definitely exceeds the employee limit of 7.
…………
Small private factories with dozens of workers have begun to emerge like mushrooms on this land, and the market economy has first begun to become active in rural areas.
Leaders like Li Bingquan who are optimistic about economic development are actually not uncommon in this era, especially leaders in coastal and southern regions. Who of them is not working under pressure?
On the contrary, the poorer the place, the more people like to make trouble.
In the end, the economy got better and better under the enlightened leadership, and the seeds that were originally preserved became dragons when the wind and clouds came.
On the other hand, some inland areas are becoming increasingly poor, and those who really have brains are flocking to the southern coastal areas to make their fortunes.
No matter what, the organization has discipline, and every cadre must take it seriously.
However, the Prefectural Committee was not a place where Li Bing could have the final say, so a list of affiliated companies was also brought up, including the Qingfeng Branch of Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company.
Li Bingquan wanted to keep it, but some people disagreed.
For example, the regional commissioner Han Dingze, this young cadre is even more conservative than Li Bingquan, the cadre who came from the south.
Han Dingze is a cadre assigned by the province. He is only 45 years old this year and still hopes to make a difference.
…………
Li Bingquan said nothing and had no expression on his face, so no one could tell what he liked or disliked.
Commissioner Han went on to emphasize: "Affiliated enterprises must be shut down and no further production is allowed."
Everyone pretended to look at the list and did not dare to raise any objections.
…………
Someone asked at the meeting, "Commissioner Han, if all the affiliated companies are shut down, what will happen to the actual controllers of these companies?"
Han Dingze thought about it and felt that we couldn't just punish a group of people with one blow, so he said, "There's no need to arrest them, but the illegal gains must be confiscated, and we will no longer allow them to operate under the name of a subsidiary."
Everyone turned their attention to Li Bingquan, who was sitting at the head of the group.
Li Bingquan smiled and said, "I reserve my opinion. I neither support nor oppose it."
Han Dingze breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the top leader did not object, it would be easy for him to do his job.
He acted quickly and all 92 affiliated enterprises in the region were shut down with one order, and all factory buildings and equipment were sealed.
…………
When local cadres came to Qingfeng Village with the intention of shutting down the pharmaceutical factory, they were surrounded by the Qingfeng Village pharmaceutical factory and villagers.
"Don't close the factory. Without it, what will we eat and drink?"
"That's right. This is a branch of a pharmaceutical company, not a privately owned factory. What gives you the right to close it down?"
"If you dare to close the factory, you will not be allowed to leave Xipu Commune!"
Faced with the collective questioning and criticism from pharmaceutical factory employees and villagers, these local cadres were in a headache.
This kind of headache also occurs in various enterprises. These are factories set up by people with their own money, without using a single cent of loans or support from the state. After all the hard work, they just close it down?
…………
One of the junior cadres asked the leader weakly, "Section Chief, will we be beaten?..."
