Arriving at the county party committee at 11 o'clock, Secretary Li Jianguo took Sun Zongyuan directly to Secretary Shen Congde's office. Secretary Shen had just received a group of superiors who came to inspect and happened to have some time.
After listening to the report, Secretary Shen pondered for a while and asked his secretary to call County Mayor Wang Peizhong. He asked about the economic situation last year and the economic performance from January to September this year. He learned that the county's GDP in 1984 was 310 million yuan, and the fiscal revenue last year was 8.2 million yuan. In the third quarter of this year, the GDP reached 270 million yuan and the fiscal revenue reached 6.4 million yuan.
"Zongyuan, how much operating income and tax revenue can you achieve in the last three months of the year?" asked Secretary Shen Congde.
"Secretary Shen, County Magistrate Wang, my foreign trade export orders before the New Year were US$10.8 million, which is about 32 million yuan based on the national exchange rate. We also have 4,000 tons of domestic orders, which should have an operating income of 8 million yuan, totaling about 40 million yuan. I estimate that I should have paid at least 3 million yuan in taxes before the New Year, but everything is based on being able to complete the export and foreign exchange earning tasks and ensure that the orders can be completed." Sun Zongyuan replied.
"The county's economy has been performing well this year. If we don't count Qianhe Food Factory, we would have been able to complete our planned tasks at the beginning of the year. However, our exports in recent years have been limited to agricultural products such as peanuts, with small volumes and even smaller amounts. This year, we must not only increase GDP and fiscal revenue by at least 30% compared to last year, but also achieve a significant increase in export earnings across the region and even the province, changing the situation where our county's economy has always been in the middle and lower reaches of the region. I believe the key to achieving this goal lies in the actions of Qianhe Food Factory."
"Yes, we can't be the fifth this year. We have to work harder now and strive to be proud of ourselves and become advanced by the end of the year!" said County Mayor Wang Peizhong.
"You should quickly develop a plan. The leading cadres will divide the work and carefully sort out the problems encountered by Qianhe Food Factory. Starting with me, we will break down the problems to each county-level cadre and functional department. We will hold a standing committee meeting at 4 pm. We will mobilize the entire county to work hard for 30 days and strive to achieve success by the end of the year!"
"Okay, let me, Jianguo, Zongyuan and I analyze and sort out the problems that need to be overcome!"
In the county magistrate's office, more than an hour was spent sorting out the existing problems, including several phone calls to communicate with Ma Bin. Finally, specific problems were identified: they can be summarized into four major items and seventeen minor items.
The four major items are:
The production capacity issue is further divided into three sub-items: production equipment, production site, and power supply.
Human resource issues involve four sub-items: machinery maintenance, production workers, production cadres, and financial personnel.
Raw material issues involve the most problems, mainly high-quality apples, high-quality autumn pears, asparagus, meat, white sugar, syrup, canned bottles, packaging box labels, etc.
As for the funding issue, since a large amount of funds need to be invested in the raw material supply link in advance, the deposit paid in advance by foreign businessmen at the Canton Fair needs to be converted into RMB by the People's Bank of China before it can be used. The process is still in progress (it is troublesome without a computer network!), and it is estimated that the funds will not be transferred in twenty days.
In addition, there is a quality inspection report. Sun Zongyu plans to issue a report from county-level or above departments for each batch to enhance the authority of the inspection.
There is also the issue of transportation. The nearest port to Anyang is Qingdao Port. It is unclear whether there are scheduled ships going to the exporting countries within a specific time. If not, we have to go to Shanghai Port, which requires coordination from superiors.
At the port, it is also necessary to go through export-related procedures at the customs. How to complete the customs declaration procedures in the shortest time requires strong support from the higher authorities. Otherwise, if any checkpoint is stuck, more than 10 million US dollars in foreign exchange may become a bubble.
Sun Zongyuan wanted to have his supervisor coordinate the transportation and customs clearance procedures when production was halfway through. If the production target couldn't be met, what was the point of talking about exporting or customs clearance?
It's not that Sun Zongyuan lacks confidence, but that this society is too complicated. Some things are far beyond Sun Zongyuan's ability to solve alone, even if he has decades of work experience.
Before the Standing Committee meeting, County Mayor Wang Peizhong, along with Li Jianguo and Sun Zongyuan, gave Secretary Shen Congde a brief report. After Secretary Shen made corrections on some individual issues, the Standing Committee meeting began. Deputy County Mayor Chen, who was in charge of economy and trade, and Li Jianguo and Sun Zongyuan attended the meeting as observers.
"Comrades, County Chief Wang took Sun Zongyuan to the Canton Fair on behalf of Qianhe Food Factory earlier and achieved great success. Our order amount ranks among the best in the entire region and province, and has been highly praised by the country and the province. The completion of these orders worth more than 30 million yuan will enable our county's economy to grow by more than 30% compared to last year, and fiscal revenue will also increase by 30%, and exceed 10 million yuan. Our county's goal of achieving fiscal revenue of over 10 million yuan will be achieved two years ahead of schedule, and our county's ranking in the province will also increase by ten places. One enterprise can bring us to this height, which we never dared to think about before." Secretary Shen Congde said in his opening remarks.
"However, we have export orders. How to complete these orders and ensure that there are no mistakes is the joint responsibility of us, the leading cadres. We must mobilize the entire county to complete the export and foreign exchange earning tasks as required! Now, please allow County Mayor Wang Peizhong to read out the County Party Committee's "50-Day Hard Work, Great Economic Development Implementation Plan." Comrades, please review it."
The meeting concluded that the focus should be on three areas before the New Year:
Economic and trade line: The deputy secretary in charge of economics and trade will take the lead, the deputy county magistrate will be responsible for the specific matters, and functional departments such as the Planning Commission, Power Supply Bureau, and Bank Economic and Trade Committee will participate. The secretary and the county magistrate will personally participate, and five deputy county-level cadres will be responsible for solving existing problems. Among them, the secretary will focus on ports and customs, the county magistrate will specifically rely on banks to coordinate funds and regional meat processing plants to coordinate canned meat supplies, and other leaders will each be responsible for one or more issues. Functional departments will be responsible for setting up special teams to specifically coordinate and implement the work.
