Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

In the last two months of 1988, Li Weidong's life was very dull. Ma Zhongyi was in charge of the production of the electric furnace factory, and Li Weidong basically did not need to intervene. In the self-built residence, because the weather became cold, all work was stopped.

Li Weidong's greatest joy every day is probably to go out for a walk with a disgraced face and be a qualified shit shoveling officer. Stop by for some gossip about shipping companies.

Wang Haibin has been promoted to assistant general manager of the transportation company.

In state-owned enterprises, the so-called assistant to the general manager is not the kind of errand boy who runs errands to bring documents and coffee, but is equivalent to the "chief steward" of the company. This position is usually an excessive position before being promoted to deputy general manager, and it can also Barely a member of the leadership team.

Wang Haibin was promoted, and Yang Peng became the new procurement director.

It is said that in the past year, the garment factory of the transportation company has been left half-dead by Yang Peng, and the business is not a day's work. After the winter, not a single order has been received. The workers are already on holiday in mid-November. , the equivalent of going to Thanksgiving.

This is similar to what Li Weidong remembers. In his previous life, Yang Peng was the director of the garment factory at first. In the end, Yang Peng also brought down the garment factory and went to the head office to take over the position of the purchasing director.

Although the garment factory is about to close down, the freight business of the transportation company is thriving, and the final glory of the state-owned transportation industry is not random.

However, a large number of self-employed people have already begun to pour into the transportation industry.

At present, although the private transportation industry can only be regarded as a soup, the growth rate is very amazing. In less than two years, the private transportation industry will surpass the state-owned transportation industry in number.

The state-run transportation industry, such as transportation companies, is not only facing the challenges of private transportation operators, they also have their own problems to solve.

One of the first and foremost problems is the matter of the driver carrying private goods.

At the end of the 1980s, the word "going to the sea" was no longer new, and a large number of self-employed individuals emerged in society, and the vast majority of self-employed households were actually small businesses and hawkers. No license was applied.

In the beginning, these small merchants and hawkers were carrying large sacks by themselves, crowding passenger cars by train, and transporting goods like ants moving house. But then they found a better way, which is to give some money to the driver of the transportation company to help them carry the goods.

Many drivers see that there is money to be made by piggybacking goods, and naturally they will not refuse. Slowly this has become a relatively common phenomenon, and the number of piggybacked goods is also increasing.

The driver helped the self-employed to carry the goods, using the public car, burning the public oil, but earning his own money, which of course seriously damaged the interests of the transportation company.

However, when most of the drivers began to take private work secretly, the state-owned transport enterprises began to go to the end.

The operating cost of the state-owned transportation company was originally higher than that of individual transportation. In addition, it raised a bunch of squirrels, so it would be strange if it did not close down!

In this way, Li Weidong entered 1989 while walking the dog and listening to gossip.

...

Xu Zhilong hurriedly walked into the conference room,

Seeing that the city leaders' table cards were still empty, he let out a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was too late!" Xu Zhilong found a seat and sat down.

"Zhilong, I haven't seen you for a while!" An older cadre next to him looked at Xu Zhilong and said, "Your district sent you to hold this meeting. It seems that you are making progress!"

"Liu Xian, why are you kidding me? I'm still young, so I need to learn more from you!" Xu Zhilong replied, but he was happy in his heart.

At the beginning of the new year, the top leader of Dongcheng District has reached the age and retired to the second line, and the second leader Xu Zhilong is temporarily responsible for the affairs of the district.

For Xu Zhilong, this is obviously an opportunity to show his ability. If he performs well, and the position of the top leader in the district is vacant, Xu Zhilong is very likely to be promoted.

It is very difficult to be promoted from the deputy county level to the full county level. It requires not only strength, but also opportunities. Many cadres may have been promoted to the deputy county level at a young age, but they cannot go any further in their lifetime.

After all, the main county level is the main post, while the deputy county level is only the deputy post. In a county-level unit, there are at most two main posts, and there may be more than a dozen deputy posts.

Xu Zhilong looked at the table cards of the city leaders again, but did not see Liu Tong's name.

"Has Vice Mayor Liu already taken office? I thought it would be a few more days!" Xu Zhilong said.

"This time he is Gao Sheng, and he is going to be the executive vice mayor of another city. Of course, he can't wait to take up his post. If it is peaceful, it is estimated that he will not be so active." Liu Xian said.

"I don't know who will take his place next, whether to be promoted from this city or transfer another leader from another city." Xu Zhilong looked gossipy.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and the city leaders walked into the conference room one after another, Xu Zhilong quickly stopped his words.

After everyone has arrived, the meeting will begin, and the staff will distribute a stack of documents to the participants.

The city leader said: "The documents in your hands are conveyed from the province to the city, and the main spirit is to clean up the problem of corporate triangular debts within the province.

Two days ago, I also went to the province to hold a meeting. This triangular debt problem is relatively common across the country. If the triangular debt is allowed to develop, it will affect the normal production and operation of the enterprise, and it will also impact the Implementation of bank credit programs.

Therefore, our provincial leaders have decided to clean up and rectify the triangular debt for enterprises in the province, and the purpose is also to ensure the policy production of enterprises and ensure the smooth operation of economic activities..."

After some introductions, the city leaders finally got to the point: "The clean-up of the triangular debt is a very complicated and arduous person, involving a wide range, and the work is difficult. Therefore, after the city's research and decision, the municipal party committee will take the lead and each The county set up a triangular debt clearing working group to be responsible for the triangular debt clearing work.

The specific work is mainly divided into three steps. The first step is the triangular debt clearance working group of each county. First, solve the triangular debt problem between enterprises in the county, that is, the enterprises under the jurisdiction of your own county. The triangular debt must be resolved first;

The second step is to clear up the triangular debts between counties and districts. The debts owed to enterprises in other counties and districts by enterprises under the jurisdiction of each county and district should be cleared and resolved in accordance with the principle of cooperation and mutual assistance between the counties and districts. If it involves multiple counties, it requires the full cooperation of multiple counties to solve it;

The third step is to clean up the triangular debts of the municipal enterprises. Whether it is the money owed by the municipal enterprises or the money owed by the enterprises in the counties and districts, the municipal working group is responsible for clearing up the debts, and the working groups in the counties and districts need to cooperate fully. !

Of course, clearing up and solving the triangular debt will inevitably involve some capital needs. In this regard, it is still based on the principle of self-financing by counties and districts. The funds raised in the city are mainly used for the triangular debt settlement work of the enterprises directly under the city. After all, the financial situation in the city is tight, as you all know, so I hope the counties and districts can understand the difficulties in the city. "

The city leaders spoke on the top, and Xu Zhilong wrote down this in a hurry. At the same time, there was a little excitement in his heart.

Here's your chance to perform!

As a district leading cadre, Xu Zhilong of course also knows that the problem of triangular debt is getting more and more serious, and he also knows that cleaning up the triangular debt is a troublesome thing.

But the more troublesome it is, the more it can show one's ability. If Xu Zhilong can make outstanding performance in the work of clearing up the triangular debt, then it is a sure thing to go further in his career.

And with Xu Zhilong's current age, if he can make progress in the past one or two years, he will have the opportunity to continue to climb in the future.

"I really wanted to sleep, so someone brought a pillow! This time, I must do a good job of cleaning up the triangular debt!" Xu Zhilong clenched his fist secretly.

...

In Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory, Ma Zhongyi took a document and walked to Li Weidong.

"Weidong, there is a notice in the district that you should go to the meeting tomorrow morning." Ma Zhongyi said and handed the document to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong looked at the document and frowned slightly: "The matter of cleaning up the triangle debt? What does it have to do with our factory?"

"I asked the people in the district and said that the ranking is based on the tax amount. The top 30 taxpayers in the district must go to the meeting." Ma Zhongyi said.

"Well, I'll go there tomorrow." Li Weidong nodded, then ran back to his office, flipping through the old newspapers in the recent period, hoping to find useful information.

"I remember that the country's large-scale liquidation of triangular debts happened in the early 1990s. At that time, the top leaders personally took command, and finally solved this matter. Now it has just arrived in 1989, why did you start to clear up triangular debts?"

Li Weidong flipped through the newspaper, scanned the headlines, and finally found relevant information in a provincial publication.

"It turned out to be a decision in the province. But it's normal to think about it. There are more state-owned enterprises in our province, and the problem of triangular debt is even more serious. The province is alert to the triangular debt problem and wants to plan ahead!" Li Weidong thought secretly.

At that time, the more state-owned enterprises were, the more serious the problem of triangular debt was. Among them, the northeast was an old heavy industry base, and there were many large state-owned enterprises, and it was also the area with the most serious triangular debt.

In addition to the Northeast, North China is also a place where state-owned enterprises and traditional industries gather, and the triangular debt is also very serious.

In contrast, the private economy in the south is relatively developed, and the impact of the triangular debt is much smaller than that in the north.

...

The next morning, Li Weidong arrived in the district on time to attend the meeting.

Those who were able to attend this meeting were all major taxpayers in the district, most of them were state-owned enterprises directly in the district, and there were also collective enterprises directly in the district, such as Li Weidong, which was the only one affiliated with townships.

Li Weidong found a less conspicuous seat and sat down. After a while, Xu Zhilong and other district leaders came to the conference room.

The staff handed out copies of the provincial document to the crowd, and the meeting began.

Xu Zhilong conveyed the spirit of the document in general, and then talked about the city's three-step work plan, and then he got to the point.

"Everyone here is a big taxpayer in our district, so I hope that you can cooperate with the work in the district, first come up with a part of the funds, and first repay the debts owed to other companies. Only in this way, other companies can I can pay you back the money I owe you!

Of course, our district will also help you collect the bills. If it is an enterprise in the district, I can directly coordinate and ask them to repay the money. If it is an enterprise in other counties, I will also contact other counties. Triangle Debt Clearing Team, try to help you get your debts back! "

When they heard that they had to take out a sum of money to pay off the triangular debt first, everyone showed embarrassed expressions.

Only Li Weidong, sitting in an inconspicuous corner, looked like an old god was there, as if he was listening to a play.

"Triangular debt, what's my business! You guys play slowly, anyway, I don't owe others money, and nobody else owes me money!"
