Chapter 1281 Jeans
After a month, the team that went out for the inspection came back.
Without waiting for a break, they started reporting in the county with the fatigue of the long journey. In addition to the inspection team who made the report, most of the county leadership team was present, including the main leaders of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the clothing factory, and Wang Yan.
"Our first stop was Shanghai..."
The comrades from the Industry and Commerce Bureau who followed the inspection reported their work, and Director Qi and the people from the clothing factory supplemented it.
They talked about the overall process of foreign trade work and the popular products they found out, and clothing was just one of them. They went to Shanghai first and then to Guangdong Province.
Shanghai is the No. 27 where Miss Wang used to work, textile hardware... They take orders and then send them to relevant domestic units for production.
Guangdong Province is naturally the Canton Fair. During this period, the Canton Fair undertook more than half of China's export business. This side is similar to a job fair. The foreign devils are looking for people to cooperate there, and we are also importing from abroad there. It is also very lively.
There is no doubt that these two paths are not available to everyone. It is impossible for so many units to get orders from Shanghai and go to the Canton Fair.
The former requires bidding for samples and social connections, while the latter requires comprehensive consideration of quotas within each province and social connections.
No matter how you look at these two paths, those big factories will not give Jinling County a chance...
Jinling County currently has only water jet looms in textile factories, in addition to some mineral resources.
But water jet looms are not worried about selling. There are so many textile factories in the country, and only a few can afford imported equipment. In China, Jinling's water jet looms have no rivals. After this month, orders have been scheduled until next year, and this is based on the addition of production lines and improved manufacturing capabilities. The textile factories are rich.
After listening to the report, everyone present was silent.
Even Secretary Gong, who is not from the United Front, was silent. He should have used this matter to play a role, but now he has no room to play.
It was County Magistrate Xu who gave the order: "Wang Yan, you raised this matter, and you have heard the situation. Tell me what you think."
"The shoe and clothing factories are going to be merged."
Wang Yan made the final decision as soon as he spoke. He said, "I went to our city and Anyun before, and found that some people were fighting guerrilla warfare on the street, setting up stalls to sell clothes, saying that they were foreign goods from Hong Kong. I heard from my brother-in-law who has not yet married that there are also people in their school who are secretly dealing in clothes, as well as electronic watches and the like. Among the clothes, there are these jeans."
He picked up a pair of jeans on the table, which was a sample brought back on this trip.
The history of jeans is still very long, more than a hundred years.
"After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, I noticed that the people began to wear more colorful clothes, some of which were brighter and had more exquisite patterns. Some young female comrades in our county were like this. I once asked them and they said that it was a recent trend in the city.
I think this pair of jeans has such elements. Its color and style are very novel, and I think it conforms to the aesthetic taste of the people. Some comrades may say that the trouser legs are too thin and they are too tight to wear, which is not good and unsightly.
But we can change the style to make it looser, which can be changed. As for the production technology of this pair of pants, whether it is from raw materials, processing technology, or dyeing, we have the ability to produce it. I think it will definitely be a best-selling pair of pants."
"You said best-selling, where is the sales channel?" Secretary Gong glanced and smiled, "It's easy for our county, but how many people in our county can afford it except for the employees of your textile factory? , are you willing to buy? Will the state-owned stores let us buy this kind of pants in the city? Comrade Wang Yan, things can't be done by wishful thinking. "
"What Secretary Gong said is right, why don't you give us some guidance on what we should do?"
"What about me?" Secretary Gong chuckled and said, "If you ask me, since our water jet loom has advantages, let's send it out to see if there are foreigners who buy it. If there are, we will earn foreign exchange, which is also a good thing. What do you think, County Magistrate Xu?"
County Magistrate Xu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Our water jet looms are not worried about sales at present, and we don't need foreign exchange, but the country needs it. I think we can try it first. If foreigners want to buy it, we can increase some production capacity at that time, squeeze out some, earn some foreign exchange, and also contribute to the country. "
This matter has been widely agreed, and the top two leaders have agreed. Regardless of whether other leaders agree or not, this has already represented the attitude of the county.
Wang Yan knew from the beginning that the county's idea was to sell looms. Because their looms are really good and can be shown off, whether they go to Shanghai or Guangdong Province, they have quotas for selling.
But the production of clothes is different. There are countless textile factories and shoe and clothing factories that are more powerful than Jinling County, and it is not Jinling's turn to stand out. Under the current circumstances, looms cannot be their stepping stone to make shoes and clothes.
"I have no objection." Wang Yan nodded, "But the shoe and clothing factories still need to be merged, and jeans still need to be produced. I stick to my judgment. What I mean is that we should maintain the production of the existing shoe and clothing factories first, and produce a small batch of jeans at the same time, and send them to the city to see first. If the city does not accept them, then I will send people to set up stalls in the city to sell them and see the situation first."
"Objection!"
Secretary Gong said, "Wang Yan, you are speculating!"
"Secretary Gong, I think that even though we are old, our hearts should not be old, and our courage should not be small. In the past ten years, you were in charge of some of the work in the county. I was young at that time, but I also heard about Secretary Gong's vigorous and resolute actions. Now that you are the top leader of the county, why do you have no courage?
The state held a meeting to develop the economy, but how to develop it? This is a problem. We are a local state-owned enterprise, which is collectively owned. Our textile factory belongs to the people of the whole county and is under the leadership of the county.
In order to cater to national policies, we actively explore. If we can't enter state-owned stores, then we will find a way ourselves. We set up stalls on the street, and we don't need cloth coupons, but only money. What's the problem with this?
Money is the key to entry Did it go into my pocket, or into someone else's pocket? It went into the pockets of the people of our entire county. How can it be speculation? How can it be profiteering?
We produced clothes, but the state-owned stores didn't want them. We should find a way ourselves. We can't just pile them up and throw them away, right? Even if this lawsuit is brought to Beijing, we are still right.
However, looking at Secretary Gong's attitude, I think the city is still not safe enough, and we should go directly to Hefei to set up a stall. I believe that the provincial leaders should have this ideological awareness. If it's okay, let us sell. If it's not okay, then fight back. I believe that the provincial leaders will not do such a thing as putting a hat on others first. "
The meeting room was very quiet, and you could hear a pin drop. Most people didn't dare to speak, and secretly looked at Secretary Gong's red face. Those who dared to speak didn't speak, and silently waited for Secretary Gong's reaction.
After a while, Secretary Gong spoke, and he spoke with gritted teeth.
"Okay, okay, Wang Yan, do you still have the county committee and me as the secretary in your eyes? Do you think the textile factory can't be transferred without you? Ah?"
He slammed the table, expressing his anger.
"Comrade Gong Xinming, you are an old senior and the top leader. I hope you can pay attention to your words and don't use your status to pressure others. It's not that I don't have you or the county committee in my eyes, but you don't seek truth from facts and can't listen to different opinions.
You don't have the basic qualities of a leading cadre. You want to seize power but are afraid of taking responsibility. I question your leadership ability. As a leader in charge of a county, you always put a hat on your comrades. What kind of behavior is this?
After the meeting, I will write a report and tell you everything that happened today. Today I will report to the county committee, tomorrow I will report to the municipal committee, and the day after tomorrow I will report to the provincial committee. I just want to see if the party is still the same party and whether all cadres are like you. If no one gives me an explanation, I will go to Beijing."
Wang Yan also slammed the table, and his words were even more heartbreaking, and he directly flipped the table.
It was also at this time that everyone present finally remembered Wang Yan's past. Ever since Wang Yan became the deputy director of the textile factory, he has been acting steadily and working hard. Everyone has forgotten that Wang Yan is only 23 years old and never gets angry. Secretary Gong has a bad temper? Wang Yan has an even worse temper.
Let alone the county, even if he goes to the city or the province, Wang Yan would probably dare to slam the table. This is a player who is not afraid of heaven or earth, talented and fearless. He really dares to embarrass you without any scruples.
"Wang Yan! What are you talking about?"
The daring County Magistrate Xu spoke up at this time, "Don't you know to respect the superiors, not to respect the elderly and love the young? Have you read so much? How many times have I said it? We must talk about unity! Unity! Sit down! Don't talk about making a report. The county's affairs are in the county. Do you want to tell them to let the superiors laugh at you?"
County Magistrate Xu also slammed the table, but his words did not seem to save face for Secretary Gong.
So Wang Yan snorted and sat back on the chair.
After that, Secretary Gong pulled a dead face and stopped talking. Because he knew that he had lost control of the government.
He couldn't take Wang Yan's position.
Wang Yan's current importance was not decided by the industrial and commercial leaders or the organization department, but had to go through the formal voting process of the personnel meeting of the county party committee. And this process could not be passed at the meeting.
Because of the development of the textile factory, the already powerful County Magistrate Xu further expanded his authority, and many people had united around County Magistrate Xu. Wang Yan followed in the footsteps of County Magistrate Xu, and it was naturally impossible to pass if he wanted to take County Magistrate Xu's people.
Even if it was passed, it could not be implemented in the textile factory. Because Wang Yan's prestige in the textile factory was too high, all the employees supported him. If Wang Yan was really taken, the employees of the textile factory might be able to surround the county government.
Even if this hurdle was passed, the person who took over Wang Yan's position could do nothing, they would not do research, and they would not be able to research anything. If it was really that easy, Wang Yan would not be allowed to come to the fore, and the looms of the textile factory would not be shown all over the country.
Once the benefits are not good, and the treatment of the factory workers cannot be improved year by year, then there will be an explosion, or an even more uncontrollable explosion. If this gets out of hand, the county leadership team will have to be replaced, and all the relevant leaders will have to be punished.
On the other hand, this is also the confidence of Wang Yan to slam the table. Otherwise, he is not stupid. Without sufficient guarantees, how much water must be poured into his brain, and how many Jiefang trucks must be pressed over before he can do such a thing...
Because the atmosphere is not right, and Secretary Gong cannot be punished for a long time, County Magistrate Xu agreed to Wang Yan's trial production of jeans. He personally went to the city to solve the sales problem, and then arranged the work of merging the textile factory with the shoe and clothing factory, said some polite words, and ended this meeting.
After the meeting, Wang Yan was called to County Magistrate Xu's office...
"Why are you so reckless? Don't you have any face left? How can you carry out your work in the future?"
Wang Yan shook his head: "He can't carry out his work there. He jumped high when he was punishing people, but now he is doing some practical work, and he is chattering. He is not young anymore, and it is time to retire. That's all. It’s only been two years, and I still can’t understand the situation, and I’m still in the way, and I’m afraid of taking responsibility, and I don’t have any awareness at all.”
"Don't rush into anything. You are young and think too little."
"If you think too much, that's the leader's business, not mine. If I want to think too much, I won't go back to Jinling County.
Leader, why do you want me to have a shoe and clothing factory? You know the situation in the county best. There are 30,000 people in total. How many young people have no jobs and have nothing to do all day? Don’t I just want to use more workers so that everyone can earn more money? At present, textile factories have limited capabilities and cannot take care of the farmers below, but they will definitely take care of them in the future.
My idea is very simple, which is to let the people of Jinling County live a good life. If I do this well in this life, then my life will not be in vain. "
"I hope you can really keep your word." County Magistrate Xu smiled, and then asked, "Do you really think these jeans will work?"
"It's definitely possible." Wang Yan said, "Actually, it's not just jeans, anything novel can be done. But others don't dare to do it, so some people can only secretly go to Guangdong Province and carry it back, and sell it everywhere like a guerrilla. .
The leader, the first person to eat the crab may have his mouth clawed by the crab, but he may also eat the meat. We are not individuals. What we do is the will of our county. If we make mistakes, we just reprimand and criticize. What’s the big deal? But if there is nothing wrong with it and the people like our products, then we will go all out to produce them, not just for the whole country, but for our entire province. How much profit will we make? "
"I'll take the blame if something goes wrong, but if you make money this time, you have to pay part of it to the county."
As if he was afraid that Wang Yan would disagree, County Magistrate Xu spoke earnestly and sincerely, "Wang Yan, you have to be considerate of the difficulties in the county. Roads need to be repaired, right? You are using more and more electricity and water. Water and electricity need to be solved, right? Reservoirs need to be repaired, rivers need to be dredged... You can't take advantage of everything.
It is true that you are raising more and more employees, but the county is not only our county town, but also the towns and communes below, as well as the farmers below. How long will it take for you to extend benefits to farmers? Distant water cannot quench near thirst. "
"Leader, don't scare me. Your attitude is as if I am a former powerful landlord. I am also a party member. How can I not have any awareness at all?"
Wang Yan said, "But when you talk about water and electricity, you are taking advantage of the textile factory, leader. Now, the textile factory has paid for water and electricity-related matters, and even given a lot more, so that they can conduct research. , increase the electricity supply in our county, and implement reasonable water conservancy projects.
In this way, leader, we set a range. I think this time, we can build roads and engage in construction. At that time, the county will directly assign the task, the construction company will contract, and the textile factory will advance the money. "
County Magistrate Xu laughed angrily: "You just don't want to give money to the county?"
"It's not that I don't want to give it, leader, you use money to do these things. But when the money goes from our account to the county, does it still have the same number when it comes back?"
"I understand, but you have to give me whatever you say this time. The county leaders and the workers below are still waiting for their salaries. The family is in trouble, so you have to give it first, right?"
"This is a big deal." Wang Yan nodded, "Let's talk about it after we make money. But don't worry, leader, even if we don't make money, I will also take some of the money from the loom and solve part of it first."
County Magistrate Xu laughed and scolded: "You shouldn't be the factory director. I think you are a good person in charge of the county's finances."
"It's not good to make money financially."
"You've chosen me, how about I make you the number one?"
"No, no, no, I'm the director of the factory now, and I can work in Jinling until I retire. As a leader, if I work well for a few years, I have to leave. Once this person leaves, the tea will be cold and the government will cease. What I did No matter how good the situation is, people who have been there for ten or eight years will have to be destroyed.”
"I understand, you really want to be a powerful landlord."
"You underestimate me, leader. I am a dog that guards the homes and courtyards for the people of Jinling County. I will bite whoever causes damage and make anyone unstable."
"I'm watching you. I want to see how far you can go."
"If I do something wrong, I can't do it well. If I do something good, the leader deserves a lot of credit. Without the support of the leader, it's useless no matter how many ideas I have."
"Then it's so hard to ask for some money from you?"
"Those are two different things."
"Go, go, I won't bother others when I see you, and you will only cause trouble." County Magistrate Xu exhorted, "Hurry up and take care of the shoe and clothing factory."
Wang Yan laughed and walked away...
That afternoon, the employees of the shoe and clothing factory were happy because the good news they had been clamoring for for a long time to join the textile factory family was finally completed, and the result did not disappoint them.
The former old factory director was demoted to deputy director, and some other leaders made corresponding job adjustments. Of course, this has nothing to do with the employees.
What they care about is that when the whole factory held a meeting, the deputy director of the textile factory made it clear that wages and benefits would be increased. Someone asked Wang Yan if they could have electric lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs. Wang Yan affirmed that within four years, they would definitely be able to move in. He also said that they could save furniture now.
The morale of the shoe and clothing factories has been boosted.
On the same day, Wang Yan walked through the clothing production workshop and left a few old tailors to change the pattern of jeans overnight, making them looser.
The next day, the textile factory started producing denim directly.
For other factories, producing denim is actually a bit difficult because it is a different process. For Jinling County Textile Factory, it is not a problem because Wang Yan has solved these problems in advance. What he wants now is large-scale production.
He makes real jeans, which are made of cotton and linen blended materials, dyed with indigo, and then undergo a series of treatments, and finally sizing and hardening. This set of processes has been opened up.
As for the material of cotton and linen blended, it is already high-end among jeans. Wang Yan is still very conscientious.
Of course, the main reason is that chemical fiber has not developed so much now, the supply of cotton and linen raw materials is stable, the price is not high, and the cost is guaranteed. In this case, he certainly made good things, and he will definitely divide them into grades in the future.
On the third day, after recuperating, Director Qi finally returned to the factory. He first scolded Wang Yan, saying that he shouldn't have fallen out with Secretary Gong, and then went to the building site with Wang Yan...
Thank you for your strong support to the good brothers who voted for the monthly ticket, recommended ticket, and read the book silently!
