After a morning of explanations, the participants gained a preliminary understanding of the problems, bottlenecks, difficulties, technologies and markets in industrial development.
It was already past twelve o'clock, and everyone was still very interested and didn't want to leave. Finally, Sun Zongyuan arranged an hour to answer everyone's questions.
"Secretary Sun, our village has neither blacksmiths nor vermicelli makers. How can we develop?"
"Then is there anyone in your village engaged in manual processing?"
"There's one family in our village that goes to the market and spins rolling pins and noodle spindles, and the rest are farmers."
"Then you can take advantage of their advantages and start a veneer processing and production project. However, a piece of equipment will cost over 10,000 yuan. You can work it out and order the machinery from the Yuanda Group Mechanical Research Institute, and the Yuanda Group can purchase the veneer produced."
Sun Zongyuan hadn't originally wanted to build another lumber mill, but there were only a few cities in China like Beijing and Shanghai. If Fushan Town produced veneer, the distance to transport it there wouldn't be cost-effective. So, he decided to build his own lumber mill. As the saying goes: "Work for the people, lead the people." After a few years of development in the wood industry, Yuanda Group would withdraw. The feed and canned food industries would also have fulfilled their cash cow missions in a few years and would also be withdrawn, with the focus now on high-tech and electronic machinery.
"Thank you, Secretary Sun. We'll discuss this when we get home!"
Another cadre raised his hand, and Sun Zongyuan motioned him to speak.
The cadre stood up and said, "Secretary Sun, we've produced a lot of rice over the past two years after combating desertification. We'd like to invest more in this area, but we're not sure where to start. Could you please give us some guidance?"
"You can rent a few factories in the Economic Development Zone and buy some food production equipment to produce rice cakes and moon cakes for children. You can also produce rice noodles, but the food safety must be acceptable."
"Thank you, Secretary Sun!"
"Secretary Sun, our village has very poor land and no capable people. However, there is shale on the mountain behind our village, covering most of the mountain. This shale can neither be used as stone nor grow crops. Can you give us some advice on how to deal with it?"
"If what you say is true, I think you can build a shale brick factory in your village to produce porous bricks. However, you need to apply for a mineral mining license. After all, the mineral resources belong to the state."
"I predict that as people earn more and more money and the construction of Ganhe City accelerates, the market for shale brick production, which does not require soil and does not damage arable land, will be very promising!"
"I understand. Thank you, Secretary Sun!"
"Secretary Sun, our village has nothing. What do you think we should do?"
"Nothing?" Sun Zongyuan asked.
A nearby cadre stood up and added, "There are two families in their village who specialize in making funeral clothes for the dead, and in our village there's a whole family who specialize in making coffins. People think this industry is unlucky and not respectable."
"As long as there's a market and the business is legal, there's nothing wrong with that. I think your two villages can definitely expand their production, but you also need to diversify your products, offering high-end, mid-range, and low-end options to suit different consumer groups. I heard the Japanese like to use coffins. You could work with them and produce according to their customs. Maybe you could even generate foreign exchange and earn money from foreigners!"
"That's great! Our village used to be embarrassed by producing this, but if we can export it to foreigners and earn foreign exchange, we'll be able to stand up straight again! However, our industry is a special one after all. How about not producing in the development zone and producing on the wasteland around our village?"
"Since it is a special industry, it can be produced around your village." Sun Zongyuan replied after thinking for a while.
…
Finally, Sun Zongyuan emphasized two points:
Those who have this entrepreneurial idea will be led by the responsible section-level cadres in the town and will be given two weeks to come up with a specific plan and submit it to the town party committee for review.
Another thing is that production must be large-scale and products must be unified. We must make full use of the role of the Fushan wholesale market to sell products wholesale.
According to the idea provided by Sun Zongyuan, Yuanda Group developed the wood peeling machine in ten days. After Sun Zongyuan watched it on site, he changed the peeling machine from one with card to one without card, so that the thickness of the veneer can be adjusted according to needs.
We arranged to produce fifty units immediately, with each peeling machine costing 16,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, they were sold out in less than two months.
Yuanda Group went to the Northeast to purchase a set of plate pressing equipment. After returning, it made major improvements according to Sun Zongyuan's requirements, changing from simple steel plate heating pressing to hollow steel plate heating pressing. Each pressing machine changed from pressing five plates at a time to pressing fifteen plates at a time, which greatly improved the efficiency. The pressure of each press also reached 100 tons. The quality of the trial-produced plates was significantly higher than that of the plates on the market.
After group research and with Sun Zongyu's approval, Yuanda Group fenced off another 50 acres of land, invested 10 million yuan, and built a board factory with an annual output of square meters, mainly to consume local veneer. Unexpectedly, in the second year, the company achieved a turnover of over 10 million yuan and a profit and tax of 2 million yuan. At the same time, it stimulated the development of 6 specialized veneer processing villages, more than 70 veneer spinning factories, and absorbed 3,000 abundant rural laborers. Yuanda Board Factory has more than 160 workers.
Unknowingly, the wood industry has become the industry that absorbs the most labor in Fushan Town, besides the food industry.
After this symposium, all the town and village cadres wanted to develop and discussed development. In less than two weeks, more than 80 project plans were received. The content of the projects involved a wide range of industries.
Sun Zongyuan felt emotional:
"Why can't we develop? First, it's a policy issue, and second, we haven't mobilized the masses!"
Regarding the issues involved, Sun Zongyuan looked at the analysis of the special team, mainly:
Several aspects include technology, equipment, venue, capital, sales and license processing.
The Party Committee studied these issues in detail and formed the "Preliminary Implementation Plan for Mass Entrepreneurship in Fushan Town". Several secretary-level leaders took the lead in coming up with specific implementation details for the issues involved, and section-level cadres in each work area were responsible for supervising, guiding and implementing entrepreneurship in their jurisdiction.
Sun Zongyu took the revised plan and made a special report to the two main leaders of the county party committee and county government. Secretary Wang Peizhong and County Mayor Sui Gang appreciated the plan very much, and studied and approved it at the county standing committee meeting. They also asked Fushan Town to earnestly implement it and all departments in the county to actively cooperate.
The county party committee also required that Fushan Town could serve as a pilot town for mass entrepreneurship in Anyang County. After one year of producing results, it would be promoted to three other towns. After two years of gaining experience, it would be fully promoted throughout the county. The goal was to establish 1,000 small rural businesses within five years, absorb 20,000 workers, increase the average annual income of farmers by 200 yuan, achieve the goal of doubling tax revenue, and enter the first echelon of economic development in the province!
What the county committee did not expect was that in just three years, instead of five years, there were more than 2,400 mass entrepreneurial enterprises in Anyang County, employing more than 50,000 workers, and the fiscal revenue doubled, exceeding the 50 million yuan mark.
