Listening To Wang Cengjing'S Growing History Of Textile And Garment Industry

Profile:

Wang Zeng Jing had taught at Changchun University, Harbin Institute of Technology and Renmin University of China in his early years.

He was the deputy director of the Beijing Light Industry Bureau, the director of the State Economic Commission, the director of the State Planning Commission, the general manager of China New Technology Investment Corporation, the Vice Minister of the State Ministry of textile industry, the head of the preparatory group of the China Textile Industry Group Corporation, the member of the Finance Committee of the Eighth National People's Congress, and the supervisor of China Huayuan Group.

In the office building of China Textile Industry Association, the reporter met Wang Ceng, Vice Minister of the former Ministry of textile industry, who has just returned from the United States.

Although many media interviews have been rejected, it is said that this visit is a retrospective of 30 years of development of the textile and garment industry. As a leader and witness of the textile and garment industry after the reform and opening up, Wang Jing Jing has turned away his daily duties and has been interviewed by reporters in his busy schedule.

Although the visit is only a short 1 hours, reporters can still see the old textile people's love and concern for China's textile and garment industry.

First largest export earning company

Reporter: your name first appeared in the China Textile Industry Yearbook. In 1986, the Yearbook recorded that you were the director of the Textile Bureau of the State Economic Commission at that time. What was the main work of the Textile Bureau? What is the relationship between the textile industry department and the textile industry department?

Wang Ching Ching: at that time, the State Economic Commission attached importance to the guidance of economic development.

At that time, the functions of the government were not the same as those of the present. At that time, the government was a management type and focused on economic management and economic construction.

The government has invested in, invested, managed and managed production, so many industrial departments have been set up, including 9 departments, including the Ministry of metallurgical industry, the Ministry of mechanical industry, the Ministry of chemical industry, the Ministry of petroleum, the Ministry of textiles and the Ministry of light industry.

By the last government, the 9 industrial departments have been completely abolished and become 9 industrial associations. The government is no longer in charge of direct investment and construction.

However, at the request of the current situation, under the condition of a large number of professional management departments, the state also needs a comprehensive department to coordinate and coordinate the work.

Because these departments can not directly communicate with the State Council, some things are difficult to deal with. For example, the textile industry needs to be increased, that is, the metallurgical industry is important, and the State Council has to pay great energy to deal with these matters, so the State Economic Commission was set up at that time.

There are several bureaux responsible for the work of the National Economic Commission. These bureaux are slightly thicker than the Ministry. For example, the Ministry of light industry and the Ministry of textile industry have a light Textile Bureau, and the Ministry of metallurgical industry and the Ministry of chemical industry have a heavy industry bureau.

Once these departments have any problems, suggestions and requests for reports to the State Council, the State Council will indicate that the State Economic Commission has conducted preliminary examination and deliberation to find out whether the reflection is whether the proposals are appropriate and whether the state has the ability to solve them.

After the first instance of the State Economic Commission, suggestions were put forward, and the State Council will deal with these problems through the preliminary examination.

So at that time, I had a close relationship with the Ministry of textile industry.

Reporter: then what background did you come to serve as Deputy Minister of the Ministry of textile industry? What were the main tasks at that time?

Wang Ching Ching: at the Beidaihe meeting in 1987, the central government decided to let me serve as vice minister of the Ministry of textile industry. In March 1988, the decision was passed and announced at the National People's Congress.

The reason why I was pferred to the Ministry of textile industry may be that I took charge of this part of the work and understood more about the textile and garment industry.

My work at that time was also very chaotic. Production, planning, finance, materials and clothing should be managed.

At that time, the position of the Ministry of textile industry is very high, because it is an industry that is related to the people's clothing and accommodation, the foreign exchange of the country is also mainly based on the textile industry, so there is also a lot of contact with the state leaders.

I remember that leaders often asked us to consult in the past.

Once we were told that he had only 400 million dollars in his hand. How could he increase it?

I propose that we should pass the incentive method, because all the money needed to earn foreign exchange at that time should be handed over to the state. I think we must divide the increase in income by rewarding, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm and create more foreign exchange earnings.

Forerunner of market and diversification

Reporter: you said that we should reform the reward mechanism. As far as I know, in 1988, the Ministry of textile industry held the national textile industry entrepreneurs' representative meeting. 84 entrepreneurs representatives discussed the reform of the enterprises and received the commendation. At that time, how did the private enterprises in the textile and garment industry develop?

At the same time, a small number of private textile and garment enterprises also appeared, but the start of private textile and garment enterprises started in the early stage of reform and opening up.

After the reform and opening up, the textile industry started earlier in the market and diversification.

Outside the state-run economy, there are mainly two parts: first, Sino foreign joint ventures appear very early in the textile industry, at least back to 1982.

At that time, Tianshan wool textile was known as one of the ten largest Sino foreign joint ventures.

Now, the size of a knitting mill will not be too large. But at that time, it could become one of the "ten big ones". It proves that there are few Sino foreign joint ventures in other industries, such as the automobile industry.

Why can the form of Sino foreign joint venture in textile industry first develop?

It is because of the adoption of flexible trade.

For example, foreign countries buy textiles from China, but China does not have so many equipment to produce. What should we do?

Then we provide machines from abroad, but we do not pay the money and export goods. This is called compensation trade.

At the time when China's policy did not accept foreign capital injection, it could only create the form of flexible trade.

Or if foreign countries want us to produce 200 thousand sweaters, but we have no raw materials, then foreign countries will supply raw materials, and then we will use the exported goods, which is called raw material processing and feed processing.

Flexible trade is material processing, feed processing and compensation trade.

Sino foreign joint venture is the first step in the diversification of textile and garment industry.

The second aspect of diversification is the development of township enterprises. At that time, the development of textile industry in the city was very difficult, and the input of land and labor was limited, but the township was suitable for the development of textile and garment industry. At that time, the rural areas had already allowed the development of industry and sideline industry, and the development of industry and sideline industry could make the peasants leave the countryside without leaving the country, so that farmers could find a way to develop production and become rich.
