Volume 11 Wanmu Shuang Tianhong is splendid Section 24 The problem is difficult to solve
Songzhou No. 1 Textile Factory and No. 2 Textile Factory are large-scale state-owned textile printing and dyeing joint ventures established in the 1960s. Since Suqiao, Yehe, Lucheng, Xita, etc. are all important cotton-producing counties in Changbei, Songzhou
The state has good inland river shipping conditions and is adjacent to the cotton-producing areas in southern Anhui and eastern Hubei. In addition, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the emphasis was placed on building Songzhou's old industrial base. Therefore, the textile industry was selected as the pillar industry of Songzhou as the path with the least investment and the fastest results.
.
Since their establishment in the 1960s, Songzhou No. 1 Textile Factory and No. 2 Textile Factory have solved the employment problem of a large number of laborers in Changbei area. At the same time, they have also served as a balancer for steel and machinery such as Songzhou Steel Rolling Mill, Jiefang Machinery Factory, and Dongfanghong Machinery Factory.
Gender issues among male workers in manufacturing companies play a big role.
As the textile industry entered a golden period of development in the 1980s, with the strong support of the Provincial Textile Industry Department and the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, both the first and second textile factories carried out large-scale expansion and recruitment. At that time, not only did they end
The employment of many women in Songzhou urban area also provides a path to employment for a large number of urban young women in Songzhou and even in areas such as Xiliang and Yishan.
In the 1980s, it was not an easy thing to think of working as a female worker in Songzhou's No. 1 Textile Factory and No. 2 Textile Factory. First of all, Songzhou was one of the two big cities on par with Changjiang and Changzhou. This was very important to the three cities in Changbei.
For county residents, it is a great thing to be able to go to Songzhou and become a big city citizen. In order to obtain such a recruitment quota, many families have to hold family meetings to see whether the older sister or the younger sister can get such an opportunity.
.
When three small cars filed into the slightly old gate of Songzhou No. 1 Textile Factory, the family members who gathered at the snack stalls outside the factory gate to buy things glanced at them casually, and then looked back, chatting about what they were doing.
Family short.
The soot emitted by the briquette stove at the food stall did not seem to affect their enthusiasm for chatting at all.
Occasionally there will be a few female youth workers who are out of work, wearing the same light blue factory uniforms issued a few years ago, rubbing their sleepy eyes, probably going out to buy fried dough sticks and soy milk buns for their family.
Everything seems so calm and natural. The only thing that is not consistent with a large textile printing and dyeing joint enterprise is that looking from the administrative building at the gate to the production plant area a few hundred meters away, the production plant area looks so quiet, and at the factory gate
In the living area outside, there were too many people wandering around, and many of them were wearing factory uniforms, either pants, clothes, or even a complete set.
Lu Weimin glanced at the workers or family members passing by the car door in twos and threes.
The Duke drove very slowly, probably because he was used to the small cars that often come in and out of the factory. People in the No. 1 Textile Factory didn't pay much attention to it. Since the company gradually fell into trouble three years ago, it has changed from the initial three-shift operation to two-shift operation.
The mid-day shift and night shift were cancelled. All day shifts were long, and there was no overtime time. It gradually became two months of working and one month of rest, then two months of working and three months of rest.
moon.
At first, everyone thought that the job rotation method was okay. During the few months of rotation, you could only get the basic salary. For female workers who have worked hard for so many years, it was certainly a good thing to take a few months off, but they only received the basic salary.
But it was very concrete for them who were not rich to begin with. They could tolerate just thinking about resting at home. Later, the rest time became longer and longer, and the working hours became shorter and shorter. And receiving a basic salary became the norm.
Well, this feeling is a bit uncomfortable.
Prices are soaring, but incomes are falling. The basic salary can only be said to be barely enough to survive. If there are elderly and children at home, it will be even more stretched.
But even this basic salary can no longer be guaranteed starting from this year. Instead, it has changed to only basic living expenses, and the factory has also stopped working. This made the workers finally feel a trace of fear, that is, is it possible for a socialist country to
Will the state-owned factories here also go bankrupt and disintegrate? What should everyone do? The whole family is working in the factory. How can they live if they no longer have jobs?
It is quite difficult to make enough money for basic living expenses to fill the stomach. If there are other expenses, it will undoubtedly be unsustainable.
"Houbai, has the textile factory started work this year?" Lu Weimin looked back and asked casually.
"We haven't started work since the Spring Festival. The domestic market is very sluggish. The price of cotton is high. The more we produce, the more we lose money. And now we can't even get the raw materials back on credit. How can we produce? The bank has already stopped several textile companies in our city.
Corporate loans are only accepted but not extended. The Financial Office has been helping to coordinate, but the bank is determined not to lend anymore. What the Financial Office can do is to try to suspend interest and repay the principal, but this is also very difficult." Duan Houbai also said.
He rubbed the wrinkles on his forehead and said with a wry smile: "In the past few months, the employees of the border security companies in the city have been unable to support their basic living expenses. If we don't find a way to solve this problem, it is estimated that in a few months, the city will be unable to support itself."
The finances will be completely ruined."
"Just counting on the city bleeding to maintain the situation is not an option. Could it be that the textile factory has not considered how to reverse this situation? At the very least, it must find a way to stop the losses and reduce the pressure on the city as much as possible, right?"
Lu Weimin was not familiar with the team of the No. 1 Textile Factory. He had held a symposium with the main leaders of municipal enterprises before. On the one hand, Lu Weimin was newly appointed and introduced each other. In addition, Lu Weimin also introduced some of his ideas and expressed his
Attitude, each enterprise must take action first, and each enterprise must come up with some targeted plans.
"What can they do? They can only collect some payments, but in order to collect the goods, people have to travel. It is very difficult to get the remaining payments. After going back and forth, the little money can be recovered.
There isn’t much left for travel expenses.”
Duan Houbai still had some understanding of the situation in the No. 1 Textile Factory. After confirming that he would contact Lu Weimin, he still did some work in advance and had a general understanding of the areas that Lu Weimin was in charge of. And he also knew that from this year to next year, as the executive deputy
The work of the Mayor's Lu Weimin Center is to solve the problem of operating difficulties of state-owned enterprises, so he also made a thorough understanding of the basic situation of state-owned enterprises in the city in advance.
"That is to say, the team of the No. 1 Textile Factory has not come up with any specific solutions that can effectively solve the practical problems, nor does it have a reliable idea for the future of the company? So what do their team do every day? I heard that their team's salary
It seems that the payment is still in full, but the workers only receive basic living expenses?" Lu Weimin said calmly.
Lu Weimin's questions were a bit sharp and pointed, making it difficult for Duan Houbai to answer for a while.
Lu Weimin didn't expect Duan Houbai to answer. This was just a way for him to vent his inner anger.
It is no secret in the city that the team of a textile factory is lazy. The secretary of the party committee is a division chief of the former municipal economic committee. The director of the factory was promoted step by step from the director of the company's workshop to the deputy director. His biggest hobby is Mrs. Xianglin.
Lu Weimin talked endlessly about the glory and glory of the No. 1 Textile Factory in the past. Lu Weimin had been in contact with these two people. It felt that these two people had no time to think about the development of the company and just wanted to hand over the problems of the factory to the city.
The government takes over.
The car finally stopped in front of the administrative building. Seeing a large group of factory leaders waiting in front of the building with smiles on their faces, Lu Weimin felt his eyes bulge.
This group of people does not seem to take the survival of the company seriously at all, but think about it. Most of the leaders of these companies have the status of cadres of the Municipal Economic Commission or the Municipal Planning Commission. For them, if the company cannot operate, it will collapse.
Well, it doesn’t have much to do with them. At most, it’s just another job. But what about these corporate employees?
Lu Weimin originally spent only half an hour in the conference room for the whole morning's research, and then focused his main energy on the discussion with the company's employee representatives.
More than twenty employee representatives from the company came, representing front-line workers and technical staff, administrative cadres and auxiliary staff. Lu Weimin also listened to their intentions and ideas very carefully, especially for technical staff and management cadres. Lu Weimin
We also asked them some questions, the core of which are what they think are the biggest problems currently existing in the company, and what good opinions and suggestions they have for the company's next move.
Although there were divergent opinions, the representatives still put forward some of their own opinions and had some discussions and explorations with Lu Weimin and others.
The problems raised are very complex, but in the final analysis they are nothing more than a few. There is no working capital, the company is overly in debt, the loan interest is astonishing, the company's equipment is aging, and the technology is backward. Not only is the product difficult to adapt to the market, but the labor efficiency is low and defective.
The rate is high, the company has many redundant employees, and the cost accounting is high. Almost every one of these is a problem that is difficult to solve in a short time.
"It's cliche and nothing new. These guys have not put their minds on this at all. They don't have anything of value! Their thoughts are no different from those of ordinary workers. They are just waiting for the city government to take over and find a way out for them.
.”
Lu Weimin shook his head and casually threw the information prepared by the No. 1 Textile Factory on the desk, but he did not show much anger. To be honest, he had been mentally prepared for these guys. Regarding the report letter to the Discipline Inspection Commission of several leaders of the No. 1 Textile Factory,
They also received a lot from there. Lu Weimin originally hoped to see if he could find something worth breaking the deadlock through this aspect. However, judging from the preliminary investigation results of the Discipline Inspection Commission, even if there are some problems with these people, they are not too big.
The issue of corporate leadership is different from that of the Second Textile Factory.
The decline of a textile factory should be caused by various factors. It cannot be entirely attributed to the issue of corporate leadership, but the issue of corporate leadership is also one of them.
