Chapter 1281 Jeans

After a month, the team that went out for investigation returned.

Without waiting for a rest, he began to report to the county with the fatigue of the journey. In addition to the inspectors who were making reports, most of the county leaders were present, including the main leaders of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the garment factory, and Wang Yan.

"Our first stop was Shanghai..."

The comrades from the county's Industrial and Commercial Bureau who came along for the inspection reported on their work, with Director Lao Qi and people from the garment factory assisting and providing additional information.

They talked about the overall process of foreign trade work and the popular products they found out, clothing was just one of them. They went to Shanghai first and then to Guangdong Province.

As for Shanghai, it’s the No. 27 where Miss Wang used to work, textile hardware… They take orders and then send them to related domestic units for production.

The Canton Fair in Guangdong Province was naturally held. During this period, the Canton Fair undertook more than half of China's export business. This place was similar to a job fair, where foreigners were looking for partners and we were also importing from abroad, and it was equally lively.

Undoubtedly, these two paths are not available to everyone. It is impossible for so many companies to get orders from Shanghai and go to the Canton Fair.

The former requires bidding on samples plus personal connections, while the latter requires comprehensive consideration and allocation of quotas within each province plus personal connections.

No matter how you look at these two paths, those big companies will not give Jinling County a chance...

At present, the only things that Jinling County can show off, apart from some mineral resources, are the water-jet looms in the textile factory.

But water jet looms are not difficult to sell. There are so many textile mills in the country, but only a few can afford imported equipment. In China, Jinling's water jet looms have no rivals. After this month, orders are scheduled until next year, and this is based on the addition of production lines and the improvement of manufacturing capacity. The textile mill is very rich.

After hearing the report, everyone present fell silent.

Even Secretary Gong, who is not a member of the united front, remained silent. He should have been able to make use of this matter to his advantage, but now he has no room to do so.

It was County Magistrate Xu who gave the order: "Wang Yan, you were the one who brought up this matter, and you've heard about the situation. Tell me what you think."

"The shoe and clothing factories are going to merge."

Wang Yan made up his mind as soon as he opened his mouth. He said, "I went to our city and Anyun before, and found some people doing guerrilla warfare on the street, setting up stalls to sell clothes, saying they were foreign goods from Hong Kong. I heard from my brother-in-law who is not married yet that there are also people in their school who are secretly selling 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 he brought back from this trip.

Jeans have a long history, more than a hundred years ago.

"After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, I noticed that 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 about it, and they said 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 when worn, which is not good and unsightly.

But we can change the pattern to make it looser, which is something that can be changed. As for the production technology of this pair of pants, whether it is 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 it's a bestseller, but where is the market?" Secretary Gong glanced at it and said with a smile, "It's easy for our county, but apart from the employees of your textile factory, how many people in our county can afford it and are willing to buy it? If we go to the city, will the state-owned stores let us buy these pants? Comrade Wang Yan, things can't be accomplished just by wishful thinking."

"What Secretary Gong said is true. Why don't you give us some guidance? What should we do?"

"What about me?" Secretary Gong chuckled and said, "If it were me, since our water-jet looms have advantages, we should send them out to see if there are any foreigners who would buy them. If there are, we will earn foreign exchange, which is also a great 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 give it a try first. If foreigners want to buy them, we can increase production capacity and squeeze out some of them. We can earn some foreign exchange and contribute to the country."

This matter has received widespread agreement, and the top two leaders have agreed. Regardless of whether other leaders agree or not, this already represents the attitude of the county.

Wang Yan knew from the beginning that the county was planning to sell the looms. Because their looms were really good and worth showing off, they would have quotas to sell them whether they went to Shanghai or Guangdong Province.

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 impossible for Jinling to stand out. Under the current circumstances, looms cannot be a stepping stone for them 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 at the same time produce a small batch of jeans and send them to the city to have a look. If the city doesn't accept them, then I will send people to set up stalls in the city to sell them and see how things go."

"be opposed to!"

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 timid. 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 have become the top leader of the county, how come you are not courageous anymore?

The state held a meeting and said that it was necessary to develop the economy, but how should it be developed? This is a problem. We are a local state-owned enterprise, collectively owned. Our textile factory belongs to the people of the county and is under the leadership of the county.

In order to cater to national policies, we actively explored and if we couldn't enter state-owned stores, we found a way ourselves. We set up stalls on the streets, without cloth coupons, but only money. What's the problem with this?
Did the money go into my pocket or someone else's pocket? It went into the pockets of all the people in our county. How can it be considered speculation and profiteering?
We produced clothes, but the state-owned stores didn't want them. We had to find a way out ourselves. We couldn't just pile them up and throw them away, right? Even if we took the case to Beijing, we would still be right.

But 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 the provincial leaders should have this ideological awareness. If it's okay, let us sell. If it's not okay, then fight back. I don't believe the provincial leaders would do such a thing as putting a label on others first. "

The meeting room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Most people didn't dare to speak, and stole a glance at Secretary Gong's red face. Those who dared to speak kept silent, silently waiting for Secretary Gong's reaction.

After a while, Secretary Gong spoke, speaking through gritted teeth.

"Okay, okay, Wang Yan, do you still have the county party committee in your eyes, and do you still have me as the secretary? Do you think the textile factory can't be transferred without you? Huh?"

He slammed the table to express his anger.

"Comrade Gong Xinming, you are a senior and a top leader. I hope you can be more careful with your words and not use your status to pressure others. It's not that I don't have you or the county committee in my eyes, it's that 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 take power but are afraid of taking responsibility. I question your leadership ability. As a leader in charge of a county, you always put labels on your comrades. What kind of behavior is this?
After the meeting, I wrote a report, telling everything that happened today. I will report to the county party committee today, to the municipal party committee tomorrow, and to the provincial party committee the day after tomorrow. I just want to see if the party is still the same party and if all cadres are like you. If no one gives me an explanation, I will go to Beijing. "

Wang Yan also slammed the table and spoke in a more hurtful way, directly overturning the table.

It was at this time that everyone at the table finally remembered Wang Yan's past. Ever since Wang Yan became the deputy director of the textile factory, he had been acting steadily and working hard. Everyone had forgotten that Wang Yan was only 23 years old and never got angry. Secretary Gong had a bad temper? Wang Yan had an even worse temper.

Not to mention the county, even if he were to go to the city or the province, I guess Wang Yan would dare to slam the table. He is a talented and fearless contestant who is fearless and dares to embarrass you without any scruples.

"Wang Yan! What are you talking about?"

County Magistrate Xu, who dared to speak, spoke up at this time, "Don't you know to respect your superiors, respect the elderly and love the young? Have you read so much? How many times have I told you? We must be united! Unity! Sit down! Don't talk about filing a report. County affairs stay in the county. Do you want to make a fool of yourself by telling others?"

County Magistrate Xu also slammed the table, but his words did not seem to give Secretary Gong any face.

So Wang Yan snorted and sat back in his chair.

After that, Secretary Gong had a dead face and stopped talking, because he knew that he had lost control of the government.

He couldn't take Wang Yan's place.

Wang Yan's current importance is not decided by the leaders of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau or the Organization Department. It must be voted through the personnel meeting of the county party committee. And this process cannot be passed at the meeting. Because of the development of the textile factory, the already powerful County Magistrate Xu has further expanded his authority, and many people have united around County Magistrate Xu. Wang Yan followed in the footsteps of County Magistrate Xu, so it is naturally impossible to take County Magistrate Xu's people.

Even if it was approved, it could not be implemented in the textile factory because Wang Yan's prestige in the textile factory was too high and all the employees supported him. If Wang Yan was really arrested, the employees of the textile factory might even surround the county government.

Even if this hurdle is passed, the people who take over Wang Yan's position will be unable to do anything. They are not good at research, and they can't come up with anything. If it were really that easy, Wang Yan wouldn't have come to the fore, and the looms of the textile factory wouldn't have been shown all over the country.

Once the benefits are not good, and the treatment of factory workers is not getting better year by year, then there will be an explosion, and it will be even more uncontrollable. If this gets out of hand, the county leadership team will have to be replaced, and all the relevant leaders will be punished.

On the other hand, this is also the reason why Wang Yan slammed the table. Otherwise, he is not stupid. Without sufficient guarantees, how much water must be poured into his brain, how many Jiefang trucks must be pressed on him, for him to do such a thing...

Because the atmosphere was not right and Secretary Gong could not be punished for a long time, County Magistrate Xu agreed to let Wang Yan try to produce jeans. He personally went to the city to solve the sales problem, and then arranged for the textile factory to merge with the shoe factory. After saying some polite words, he ended the meeting.

After the meeting, Wang Yan was called to County Magistrate Xu's office...

"Why are you so reckless? You don't even have the slightest bit of dignity left? How are you going to carry out your work in the future?"

Wang Yan shook his head. "He can't do his job because he's there. He jumped up when he was playing tricks on people, but now he's complaining when he's doing something practical. He's not young anymore, and it's time for him to retire. It's only a year or two, but he can't see the situation clearly, and he's getting in the way. He's also afraid of taking responsibility, and he doesn't have any awareness at all."

"Don't rush into anything. You are just young and don't think too much."

"Thinking too much is 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 think I need a shoe and clothing factory? You know the situation in the county best. There are 30,000 people in total. How many young people are unemployed and have nothing to do all day? I just want to employ more people so that everyone can earn more money. At present, the textile factory has limited capacity and cannot take care of the farmers below, but it will definitely take care of them in the future.

My idea is very simple, which is to make the people of Jinling County live a good life. If I can do this well in my life, then my life will not be lived in vain. "

"I hope you can really keep your word." County Magistrate Xu smiled and asked, "Do you really think these jeans will work?"

"Of course it will work." Wang Yan said, "In fact, it's not just jeans, anything new will work. But others don't dare to make it, so some people can only secretly go to Guangdong Province to carry it back and sell it everywhere like guerrilla warfare.

Leader, the first person to eat crabs may get pinched by the crabs, but he or she may also get to eat meat. We are not individuals, we are carrying out the will of our county. If there are problems, we will just be criticized. What's the big deal? But if there are no problems and the people like our products, then we will do our best to produce them. Not to mention the whole country, but our entire province, how much will we earn?"

"I'll take the blame if anything goes wrong, but if you make money this time, you have to hand over a portion of it to the county."

As if afraid that Wang Yan would disagree, County Magistrate Xu spoke earnestly and sincerely, "Wang Yan, you have to understand the difficulties of the county. The road needs to be repaired, right? Your electricity and water consumption is increasing, and you need to solve the water and electricity problems, right? The reservoir needs to be repaired, and the river needs to be dredged... You can't take all the benefits.

Indeed, you have more and more employees, but the county is not just our county town, there are also towns and communes below, and there are farmers below. How long will it take for you to benefit the farmers? Far water cannot quench near thirst. "

"Leader, please don't scare me. Your attitude is as if I were a former landlord. I am also a party member. How could I not have this little awareness?"

Wang Yan said, "But when you talk about hydropower, you are taking advantage of the textile factory, leader. The textile factory has given money for hydropower-related matters, and even a lot more, so that they can conduct research to increase the electricity in our county and build reasonable water conservancy projects.

So, leader, let's set a scope. I think this time, we can build some roads and do some construction. Then the county will directly assign tasks, the construction company will be contracted, and the textile factory will advance the money. "

County Magistrate Xu was so angry that he laughed: "You just don't want to give the county money?"

"It's not that I don't want to give it, leader. You use the money for these things. But when the money goes from our account to the county, will it still be the same amount when it comes back?"

"I understand, but you have to pay them no matter what this time. The county leaders and the people working there are still waiting to get their salaries. They can barely make ends meet at home, so you have to pay them first, right?"

"This is a big deal." Wang Yan nodded, "Let's talk about it after we make some money. But don't worry, leader. Even if we don't make any money, I will take some of the money from the loom and solve part of the problem first."

County Magistrate Xu laughed and scolded, "You shouldn't be a factory director. I think you'd be a good hand at managing the county's finances."

"It's not good if the finance department doesn't make money."

"You've chosen it, how about letting you be the boss?"

"No, no, I'm a factory manager now and I can work in Jinling until I retire. If I become a leader, I will have to leave in a few years no matter how well I do. Once I leave, the tea will get cold and the politics will end. No matter how good the situation is, it will be ruined by others after ten or eight years."

"I understand. You really want to be a powerful landlord."

"You underestimate me, leader. I am a guard dog for the people of Jinling County. I will bite anyone who sabotages me and make them feel uneasy."

"I'm watching you. I want to see how far you can go."

"If it goes wrong, it's my fault. But if it goes well, the leaders will get the credit. Without the support of the leaders, no matter how many ideas I have, it's useless."

"Why is it so hard to ask you for some money?"

"Those are two different things."

"Get lost, get lost! I won't bother others when I see you. You're just causing trouble." County Magistrate Xu chased him away, "Hurry up and take care of the shoe and clothing factory business."

Wang Yan laughed and walked away...

That afternoon, the employees of the shoe and clothing factory were happy because they had been clamoring for a long time to join the textile factory family, and finally it came true, and the result did not disappoint them.

The former factory director was demoted to deputy director, and some other leaders underwent corresponding job adjustments. Of course, this had nothing to do with the employees who were working there.

What they care about is that when the whole factory held a meeting, the deputy director of the textile factory clearly stated that wages and benefits would all be increased. Someone asked Wang Yan if they could have electricity and telephones upstairs and downstairs. Wang Yan affirmed that within four years, they would definitely be able to move in, and said that they could save up for furniture now.

The morale of the shoe and clothing factory was greatly boosted.

On the same day, Wang Yan walked through the clothing production workshop and asked a few experienced tailors to change the pattern of the jeans overnight to make them looser.

The next day, the textile mill started producing denim directly.

For other factories, producing denim is actually a bit difficult because it is a different process. But for Jinling County Textile Factory, it is not a problem because Wang Yan has solved these problems in advance and now what is needed is large-scale production.

He makes real jeans, made of cotton and linen blends, dyed with indigo, and then goes through a series of treatments before being starched and hardened. This whole process has been completed.

As for the cotton and linen blended material, it is already high-end among jeans. Wang Yan is still very conscientious.

Of course, the main reason is that chemical fiber is not so developed 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 will certainly make good products, and they will definitely be divided 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...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
