Chapter 69 It's Difficult to Find a Little Land

Fan Wubing has always believed that Wenzhou people are very courageous, so he still can't understand why Chen Rong and Huo Sheng, two Wenzhou Liushi people who are brave enough to forge ahead and dare to be the first in the world, have never fought land. Idea, this is really puzzling.

But after he carefully studied Liushi and the surrounding terrain, he hesitated a little.

Wenzhou has diverse topography, including mountains, plains, islands and lakes. As for Liushi, it was a small town with mountains on its back and the sea at its back. It is said that many people here did business under a big willow tree a long time ago, so there is the origin of the name "Willow City". Liushi has a registered population of 130,000, and the per capita arable land is only 0.4 mu. Therefore, the people of Liushi are always overwhelmed by the burden of too many people and too little land.

Although after the reform and development, the people of Liushi gradually became rich by opening small electrical appliance factories, the difficulty of the small land area has never changed, so everyone's emphasis on land is not lower than other places in the country.

In the past, although there were many small businesses in Liushi, they were all small in scale. They were basically family workshops, and there was no need for a large area of ​​land. Basically, their own site was more than sufficient. Therefore, the contradiction between the demand for land has not been reflected.

But now, if Fan Wubing wants to unify Liushi's resources under his own banner through integration, of course he needs a larger industrial land. A low-voltage electrical appliance factory with tens of thousands of people needs at least a thousand acres of land. It's a bit difficult.

However, Fan Wubing made a special effort to inquire with the local grassroots cadres, but when the other party heard this question, they immediately shook their heads like a rattle, repeatedly saying that they couldn't make up their minds.

Even if it is a large state-owned enterprise, if it wants to acquire land, it must first obtain the approval of the Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee and report to the province. in this problem. At least for the time being, no one has dared to go beyond the bounds.

This made the ambitious Fan Wubing feel a bit difficult. Without a place, how can he develop himself?

Although he wanted to talk to the higher-ups to see if he could solve the problem, but considering that he might be owed favors again, Fan Wubing was a little hesitant, and finally decided that he really couldn't solve it by himself, so he went to harass others.

"It seems that this matter still needs to mobilize the power of the masses." Fan Wubing finally came up with an idea shamelessly.

So the next day started. A little gossip began to spread in Liushi. It is said that a big boss from abroad wants to invest in Liushi. The small businesses that have closed down will be acquired and integrated into a large and regular factory. He is currently conducting on-site inspections in Liushi, and the companies he likes can all be brought back to life.

In this way, the enthusiasm of the locals in Liushi was immediately raised.

Although they have been hit hard by counterfeiting and shoddy products, if they can be acquired by foreign companies, they will become foreign-funded enterprises in the future, or at least a Sino-foreign joint venture. if that is the case. Do you still have to worry about not being able to get a formal production license and product certification? With these two magic weapons, Liushi can continue to be popular!

Everyone is very interested in this matter. Not only the local small business owners, but also the village cadres, township cadres, and town cadres are very excited. The economy of Liushi, which has been sluggish recently, seems to have seen a glimmer of light!

But not long after, another news came out, saying that a foreign businessman had visited Liushi and felt that Liushi was not suitable for large-scale enterprises. The land use area is too small, and there are many mountains, so a large The land restoration funds required by the factory are too high, which is not cost-effective.

And there is another important point, that is, it seems that the local government of Liushi is very uncooperative on the issue of land transfer.

If you don't have land, what kind of business are you doing?

Business owners and workers, large and small, immediately felt outraged! Under the economic contraction policy of the past two years, they have basically been squeezed to the point that they have no living space. It is hard to see such an opportunity to get out of the predicament, but they are going to be squandered because of the land problem. It is inevitable that there will be unwillingness.

So the angry people immediately surrounded the leaders of the town, telling them to consider the collective interests of the people in Liushi and come up with a solution.

The cadres in the town also feel at a loss. After all, the power of land approval is not in their hands, and this time the project they want to engage in is too big. Solve it yourself, for fear of offending the superiors, don’t approve it. You will offend the villagers below , It's really a ground mouse in the bellows, getting angry at both ends.

In the end, someone, under someone's instigation, proposed a solution, that is, the farmers who own the land should solve this problem by themselves without going through the town.

The solution is that the farmers who have the right to use the land collectively sign a long-term land lease agreement with the company, and enter the new factory by exchanging the land for jobs. At the same time, the town can also get a land transfer compensation, which can solve the problem Farmers who have lost their land have no problem of survival, and the town can also get a considerable amount of funds.

In fact, the per capita arable land in Liushi is quite small, and it is impossible to support a person at all. Therefore, when this proposal was proposed, everyone was very excited, but they don't know what the town will think, and the foreign business owners may not agree to this proposal. , after all, in this way, more funds will be invested.

Although the town officials wanted to solve this problem very much, they did not dare to make decisions privately, so they reported this issue to the Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee.

The Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee was also scratching its head when it got the news. After getting to know the specific process of what happened, it was because a foreign businessman came to Liushi for inspection, hoping to integrate the resources of small enterprises in Liushi and build a large-scale factory. .

"This is a good thing, but the problem is a headache." Secretary Wang of the municipal party committee is a very courageous middle-aged leader. Back then, the Eight Great Kings incident made Wenzhou's industry and commerce unable to hold their heads up. It was because of his support. Next, release the Eight Great Kings, so that Wenzhou's economy can get back on the track of rapid development.

Then after two years of anti-counterfeiting activities, Wenzhou's economy is in a bit of a slump again. Now is the time to get back on track. It just so happened that someone presented this opportunity.

"Didn't Deng Gong say that reform is a road that no one has gone before. We can be more courageous. It will never hurt to try it. If the result of the experiment is not in the interests of the people, it will not be corrected." Too late!" In the end, Secretary Wang reached a consensus with the main leaders in the city.

Six days after Fan Wubing arrived in Liushi, someone from the government finally came to contact him.

It was a deputy mayor of Liushi who came. He first welcomed Fan Wubing and others, and then he didn't know what to do.

It's no wonder that the news said that the person who came was a big boss from abroad. Who knew that at first sight it turned out to be a little boy from China. This comes and goes. But it was very different.

Fortunately, the deputy mayor can still see that the little boy's subordinates are all foreigners. Moreover, the bosses of the two largest factories in the town, the only two factories that are still in production, have already voted for Fan Wubing's camp at this time. It seems that they are really powerful big bosses, otherwise like Chen Rong How could a shrewd person like Huo Sheng be someone else's younger brother?

So in this case, the two sides launched a discussion on the land issue. at last. In principle, the expropriation of land is carried out according to the principle of farmers' voluntary, but encounters specific obstacles. The cadres in the town came to persuade and help solve the problem.

However, during the actual implementation process, there was no such resistance, because in Liushi, the hearts of the people were not devoted to farming, and the land that Fan Wubing needed was collected quickly enough. In fact, in the later stage, many people took the initiative to come to contact, see if they can also recruit their own land and change jobs?

The integration work between Davis, Chen Rong, Huo Sheng and others has also gone smoothly, and the sales force has basically been pulled up. There are two to three hundred people, all of whom are salesmen with practical experience who have traveled all over the country before. them.

Because the industry and commerce in Liushi was basically at a standstill a while ago, and these people were engaged in other businesses. This time, I heard that the low-voltage electrical industry in Liushi is going to be reorganized, and foreign big bosses have invested huge sums of money. Supporting the normalization of the industry, everyone immediately felt the huge opportunities contained in it, and came to contribute one after another, which saved Davis and others a lot of energy.

But things were not all smooth sailing, and someone still poked this problem out.

The reason is that an economics professor from Zhejiang University, whose family is in Liushi, just came back to visit relatives, but heard that the family members were trying to sign land acquisition agreements in exchange for job opportunities, and also heard that the land was expropriated by the town Provided to private factories.

"Is this okay?! The land has been sold, so are they still farmers in New China?!" The professor immediately felt something was wrong.

So the professor conducted a local investigation, and found that the cadres in the town also played the role of accomplices. He became even more angry, and wrote a manuscript overnight, entitled "Who is Looting Our land? ", through its own news channel, directly published in the provincial newspaper.

In this article of no more than 1,500 words, the professor pointed out this problem very sadly. After farmers lose their land, they will only become tools for capitalists to extract surplus value, and then listed various examples from ancient and modern China and foreign countries To prove the correctness of their own ideas, and finally asserted that this behavior of selling land is definitely not socialism!

After this article was published, it immediately caused an uproar.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to Liushi, which is less than 50 square kilometers of land.

Liushi, oh Liushi, why can't you stop for a while? After experiencing the crackdown on counterfeiting, it has been less than a year, and now you have made such a big move, what are you going to do?

It is not uncommon to sell land, but the scale is very small, or it is guided by policies. For example, in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, the land sale is well-founded. Because it is a special zone, it can enjoy some special policies. But what is Liushi? It's just a small town. The biggest difference is that there have been thousands of small workshop-style enterprises manufacturing fake and shoddy products in this small town. It was just a concentration camp, and yet another incident happened at this time. It really makes people's teeth itch with hatred.

The mainstream media has also begun to debate this issue. There were those who opposed it, those who supported it, and those who stood on the sidelines. They debated the political stance of this incident one after another, and things got worse.

In any case, this matter was passed to the front of the high-level.

"This guy, why did something happen again?" A certain leader scratched his head and said.

"He is really a restless young man." A certain leader shook his head.

But as far as this matter is concerned, the meaning it represents is quite important, which illustrates one thing. It is some state policy. At this stage has hindered the development of the local economy. It seems that it needs to move.

At a critical moment, an important leader said at a small meeting. "Originally, we planned to put this issue until next year, and it would be safer to talk about it. It seems that now is a bit too late! I think it's better to take Liushi as a special case first, and send a positive signal to everyone! Next year When the specific policy is introduced, everyone will feel at ease. Therefore, amidst the approval or scolding of everyone, the plan of exchanging land for jobs proposed by Fan Wubing successfully withstood various pressures and was officially launched.

In the end, a total of 2,000 mu of land was collected. Paid 3,000 jobs and 40 million yuan in land compensation.

Actually. If you continue to collect land, you can still collect it. But Fan Wubing felt that the matter should not be too big, otherwise it would be difficult to clean up, so he stopped here and ordered Davis and others to immediately fulfill their promises, register the migrant workers who sold the land, and immediately pay the land compensation to Liu. Township account.

After finishing all this work, Fan Wubing himself felt a little tired.

In the case of imperfect policies, although there are business opportunities, the hard work is too much. Fan Wubing finally decided to start this single business this year, and wait until next year for any tricks. I'll talk about it after Mr. Deng's southern tour. He always jumped out to be the young bird, which is really too ostentatious.

It is estimated that my name appears in the middle of the topic among the high-level people now, which is a thorn in my head!

In fact, the issue of land transfer mainly involves the status dispute between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, which is the so-called war between the caged bird and the caged bird.

Throughout the 1980s, domestic disputes arose about how to reform and develop state-owned enterprises, and how to protect state-owned enterprises. On the issue of diminishing effect of state-owned enterprise pilot projects, there were two voices in the economic circles to respond.

The promotion group, represented by Xue Muqiao, an economist who participated in the overall plan of the reform at that time, believed that the reform of decentralization and transfer of profits had limitations, and advocated that the reform should focus on the reform of the price management system and the reform of distribution channels, and gradually cancel the administrative pricing system. Establish commodity markets and financial markets.

Another opinion is that the reform of state-owned enterprises must strengthen the centralization and unification. Its wings are bound and it can fly freely. However, the state-owned economic system is a big cage. No matter how the bird flies, it should not fly out of this cage.

These arguments finally convinced the central decision-makers that the "cage and bird" theory dominated the thinking of enterprise reform throughout the 1980s, and the reform of state-owned enterprises became a reform in a cage.

Starting from this theory, looking at the situation from the 1980s to the early 1990s, it is easy to draw a conclusion that the reform of state-owned enterprises must be carried out step by step under the stability and control of the central government. Take one step at a time.

The immediate priority is to get rid of those unruly and uncontrollable private enterprises, the wild birds outside the cage, which are disrupting the entire economic situation.

The local media and internal reports are almost one-sided, complaining about how those unplanned small factories competed with the regulated state-owned enterprises for raw materials, how they disrupted the market order, and how they caused the state-owned enterprises to suffer huge losses. All in all, if the reform fails, it will be the fault of the wild birds outside the cage.

The situation in Liushi happened to be the target of public criticism. If it was a regular production, it would be fine, but what they played was fake and shoddy, which gave people an excuse, so it would be no wonder if they didn't get hit!

However, after restricting private enterprises, another problem appeared, that is, state-owned enterprises did not improve, while the overall national economy experienced a significant decline.

The high-level executives thought over and over again, and finally realized that to solve the problems of state-owned enterprises fundamentally, they must first introduce a competition mechanism, and private enterprises are just a sharpening stone.

However, in order to develop private enterprises and invigorate the domestic economy, the first thing to do is to loosen the constraints on the policy, and one of the biggest obstacles affecting the development of the private economy is naturally the use of land.

The incident that Fan Wubing made just happened to give the upper echelons a chance to test the waters. The implementation of policies always requires an experimental product. The reactions of all aspects need to be seen, and the overall effect of the experiment should be more accurate. It is persuasive, allowing high-level officials to introduce new policies in a logical manner.

Therefore, Fan Wubing, who successfully integrated the resources of Liushi, once again became a high-level mine detector intentionally or unintentionally.
