With the official announcement of the State Council, the left-right debate on Suhai's quantitative reform surfaced, attracting great attention at home and abroad. Economists have publicly accused some people of obstructing the reform, which is a crime against the people and a historical regression under the planned economic thinking. Where there are opinions, there will be debates. Immediately, experts and scholars from different camps refuted these opinions one by one. The two sides challenged each other and cursed each other, which also made Zhu Jiusi's trip to Suhai not warm up in advance.
On January 7, Zhu Jiusi arrived in Suhai by plane. Mainstream media from all over the country had gathered at Wuzhou Airport to welcome him. There were cameras and guns everywhere, all eager to compete for first-hand news materials. The situation was out of control for a while. In order not to cause chaos, Zhu Jiusi did not accept media interviews as arranged in advance, but drove directly out of the airport through a special channel. Suhai’s officials from the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department came forward to appease the media, saying that once the investigation made progress, a press conference would be held to brief everyone.
However, if you want to fool the reporters so easily, you really underestimate the power of these uncrowned kings. CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily and other national media are self-evident. They can get many conveniences and privileges without any effort. They took the lead in conducting many related reports through various channels, and dialectically verified the mission, intention and prospects of Zhu Jiusi's trip to Suhai from many aspects. Other local media have long been accustomed to the differential treatment of you eat meat and I drink soup. They don't wait or rely on others. They show their magical powers. Taking Southern Weekly as an example, they started the interview strategy of surrounding the city with the countryside. A large number of reporters went to the grassroots to visit and dug out in-depth reports that had never been seen by the world before.
These reports were mixed, with praise and criticism, affirmation and doubt, fairness and slander. Overall, there were more praises than criticisms, more affirmation than doubt, and more fairness than slander. However, the comrades in the Propaganda Department could not sit still, and asked Zhu Jiusi whether to talk to some media. After all, Zhu Jiusi was in a high position and had a far-sighted vision. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "What are you talking about? Let people talk, let people tell the truth. The more you debate, the clearer the truth becomes. If we shut others up, doesn't it mean that we have no confidence and are guilty? If even we lose confidence, what's the point of talking about reform? We should go home as soon as possible..."
Having said that, in the face of the increasingly fierce public opinion, Zhu Jiusi decided to end the dispute in Suhai as soon as possible. After a night of secret talks, he accepted Wei Qiwen's arrangements and led the investigation team to Wujiang County for a field investigation the next morning. Wujiang County Party Secretary Fu Minzhi reported to the investigation team in the county party committee conference room the lessons learned from Wujiang's state-owned enterprise reform, focusing on the efforts made to promote the structural adjustment of the local tea industry. The central idea of the report was only one: without reform, state-owned enterprises will die; without reform, finance will die!
After the meeting, Zhu Jiusi, accompanied by Provincial Party Committee Secretary Wei Qiwen, Wuzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Guang and other provincial and municipal leaders, went to Wujiang Biluochun Tea Co., Ltd. An Baoqing, Ye Zhiwei, Fan Bo and others who had received the notice earlier held a grand welcome ceremony downstairs in the company. After visiting the exhibition of high-quality small-leaf varieties in the company's showroom, Zhu Jiusi watched the Biluochun tea art performance with great interest. An Baoqing specially transferred the ace tea artist Duniang from the Great World. Duniang, dressed in Wujiang ethnic costumes, was beautiful and charming. She performed a wonderful performance with folk customs and cultural taste for everyone, which prompted Zhu Jiusi to sigh to Wei Qiwen: "Now many people are skeptical about reform, saying that we are rats who embezzle state-owned assets for private use and will become criminals in the future. But what if there is no reform? Just in Wujiang, the Biluochun brand will disappear in our hands, and fine traditions with deep national characteristics such as tea art will also decline. I think people who think like that are the real criminals of the country!"
Wei Qiwen nodded in agreement, but inadvertently glanced at Baidu.
Afterwards, Fan Bo gave a passionate, inspiring and philosophical keynote speech on the company's operating conditions, short-term planning and future development, as well as how to organically integrate with Wujiang locals and achieve a win-win situation of economic and social benefits with the government and tea farmers. This speech was personally conducted by Wen Liang, who, with his incomparable overall view and grand momentum, combined with Fan Bo's solid theoretical skills, went from the shallow to the deep, layer by layer, extending from the establishment of a professional tea cooperative. Under Fan Bo's irrefutable eloquence, it perfectly presented a magnificent picture of the harmony among the government, enterprises and the people, and the overall unity of society, environment and development under the wave of reform.
Finally, Fan Bo concluded with a vivid metaphor: "… Just as the central government has prepared a good framework for the reform of state-owned enterprises, local governments can take the initiative to set aside a large area of blank space, and then hand it over to outstanding entrepreneurs and hundreds of millions of people to work together to paint. I believe that the future of our enterprises will definitely be better, and the lives of our people will definitely be happier…"
When Wen Liang concluded with these two sentences, Ning Xi laughed at him for losing his moral integrity in order to flatter, but Wen Liang asked her in return, if she didn't reform at this moment, is there any way out
Ning Xi was silent for a long time and shook her head.
Wen Liang was also silent. After decades of development, state-owned enterprises were already on the edge of the cliff by the mid-1990s, and reform was necessary. But the problem was that this top-down reform from within the system had no precedent to follow, no experience to draw on, and no economist could guarantee that the consequences of the reform would be better than maintaining the status quo. All the decision-makers could do was to cross the river by feeling the stones, and turn back if they took the wrong path. That was why there were left-right disputes, and discussions about whether to advance or retreat. That was why there would be criticism a dozen years later, and the so-called new three mountains would collapse on them.
But the merits and demerits of history cannot be blamed on one person. Under the economic background at that time, Chen Longqi had chosen a relatively correct path, but some people expected him to choose an absolutely correct path.
Unfortunately, there is nothing absolute in the world!
What is even more regrettable is that the country’s reform was firm but not decisive, and the grain reform was decisive but not firm. Without exception, they fell into another misunderstanding many years later. However, there is no "if" in history. We cannot refute the cause of many years ago based on the result of many years later. That is not science, let alone dialectics.
As soon as Fan Bo finished speaking, Zhu Jiusi took the lead in applauding, and then whispered something to Wei Qiwen, with a smile on his face. Fu Minzhi sat at the edge of the conference room, sneaking glances at the leader's face. Seeing this scene, a stone finally fell from his heart. He touched his fat belly and laughed. Somehow, the appearance of Baidu who was performing just now appeared in his mind. He was thinking about whether to ask An Baoqing where he found the beauty after the show. It was really quite interesting.
"Minzhi, how do you plan to have lunch?"
Fu Minzhi woke up from his lustful thoughts. He saw that it was Secretary Liu Guang who came to him to ask questions. He stood up and lowered his voice, saying, "There are no decent hotels in Wujiang. I have someone arrange it at Wuzhou Hotel. Please invite the leaders to have dinner there later."
Liu Guang frowned and scolded, "How foolish! We have to go to Xiting Town in the afternoon to have a meal. Why are you making the leader run back and forth?"
Fu Minzhi opened his mouth wide. There was no trip to Xiting. Didn't he return to the city after visiting the company? In fact, the Wuzhou Hotel was just a precaution. According to the unified deployment of the city, it was not his turn to arrange dining in Wujiang County.
Liu Guang didn't care about that at this moment. With a look of disappointment, he turned his head to look at Zhu Jiusi who was still talking to Wei Qiwen, and pulled Fu Minzhi outside the meeting room. He said, "Looking at Mr. Zhu, it is very likely that he will change his schedule temporarily to go to Xiting Town to conduct on-site research on the cooperative. You should immediately have someone arrange a clean and tidy small shop with the characteristics of Wujiang and good taste. By the way, the usual price should remain the same today. Don't raise it or lower it..."
Before he finished speaking, Deng Qinghua, the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee who had followed Wei Qiwen, came out and waved to Liu Guang, saying, "Secretary Liu, Secretary Wei is calling you, why are you here?"
Liu Guang agreed and whispered to Fu Minzhi, "Go!" Then he and Deng Qinghua went into the house together. Seeing Liu Guang coming back, Wei Qiwen smiled and said, "It's getting late. How about we find a place to eat first, and then ask the comrades to continue reporting to the leader?"
Zhu Jiusi smiled heartily and said, "I'm in your area, so I'll naturally listen to you! Only when you're full can you have the strength to work. I always eat on time, and I don't advocate those working methods that make you forget to eat and sleep."
"Health is the capital of revolution." Wei Qiwen smiled and waved to Liu Guang. Liu Guang hurried over, bent down, and said carefully: "Secretary Wei, lunch has been arranged, do you want to go over now?"
When saying this, Liu Guang was calm and composed, as if the scene outside just now had not happened. I don’t know whether the domestic officials are too good at acting, or too good at trusting the ability of their subordinates to do things.
Before Wei Qiwen could speak, Zhu Jiusi stood up and said, "Come on, I'll treat you all today. Let's try the delicious food of Wujiang."
Fu Minzhi was a little flustered outside. In such a cold day, there were beads of sweat on his forehead. But he couldn't be blamed for being useless. He had never received such a high-level leader before. He didn't know Zhu Jiusi's temperament and preferences. What's more, the schedule was suddenly changed. Liu Guang's instructions were too much. His brain went blank for a while and he didn't know what to do. As the deputy director of the county party committee office and a rare beauty, Yao Shang had been accompanying him outside. Seeing that Fu Minzhi was almost sweating, she was very happy. But he couldn't let his incompetence harm Wei Qiwen, or that person's plan, so he said, "Secretary Fu, Wujiang is most famous for the Taihu Lake Boat Banquet. How about I contact them now?"
Fu Minzhi heard the sound of tables and chairs rubbing against the ground in the conference room, and he kept saying, "Quick, quick, quick..." as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw.
