Wenzhou'S "Eight Kings" And The Story Of Lian Zheng De

Recently, by chance, I heard the story of the new vice chairman of the finance and Economic Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Congress and Lian Zhengde, deputy director of the budget work committee of the Standing Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Congress.

The soul of the author is deeply shocked: continuous ideological emancipation is the source of innovation, and even in today's pluralistic and active thinking, this is still a truth and a warning.

Behind the emancipation of the mind is the great political courage of the liberator and the noble quality of seeking truth.

In the early 80s of last century, the "eight kings" and Liushi second light Bureau events in Liushi, Yueqing County, and the private economic turmoil surrounding them reflected the tortuous course of China's market economy from sprouting to vigorous growth.

Lian Zheng is personal experience.

This is the story he told me. After the third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, Yueqing's individual and private economy was very active.

There are 8 "kings" with the greatest reputation ("screw king" Liu Dayuan, "hardware king" Hu Jinlin, "directory king" Ye Jianhua, "miner king" Cheng Buqing, "Sand King" Wu Shilian, "bakelite king" Chen Yinsong, "coil king" Zheng Xiangqing, "second-hand king" Zheng Xiangqing).

In addition, there was a mountaineering shoe factory subordinate to the second light Bureau of Yueqing county. It was a typical example of developing the collective economy.

At that time, the Cultural Revolution had just ended and many factories in Yueqing were in a state of halting production and semi shutdown. This mountaineering shoe factory is no exception.

Its predecessor is Yueqing County leather factory. Because of its obsolete technology, high quality and high price, the pig shoes that are produced can not be sold, and the enterprise is going bankrupt.

So, the second light system organized more than 100 factory directors and sales staff to search for production business throughout the country.

Remember, it was 1978, and the shoe factory's luck came.

A Shanghai foreign trade unit supported the shoe factory and sent orders.

The shoe factory immediately organized special technical forces, and the night trial production of the sneakers at the bottom of the hemp was finally successful.

This kind of shoe is made of ramie to make sole material. It is very comfortable and quality. It was the only one in the country, so it was very popular.

But the production capacity of the factory was unable to adapt at once, and there was not enough capital to invest. So we came up with a way to make use of the technical power of the factory in the county, and organize the rural community enterprises and rural specialized households on the other side.

As a result, the production team expanded immediately.

At that time, about seventy percent of the processing points were distributed in rural areas, and many production tools were made by farmers themselves.

That is the initial stage of reform and opening up.

In Wenzhou and Yueqing, the development of individual and private economy has been questioned.

There is an argument in the province that Wenzhou is "blowing the unhealthy trend of capitalism".

At that time, there was a rumor that "Hongkong, Kowloon, Taiwan Keelung, Yueqing" (an administrative village under the Yueqing - editor's note) "need to build a the Great Wall from Zhuji to Xinchang, blocking the south wind to the north."

Therefore, in the background of cracking down on the criminal activities in the economic sphere at that time, Zhejiang took Wenzhou as the key point; Wenzhou as the focal point, designated Yueqing as the key point; Yueqing as the focal point, Liushi was the focal point, and the speed of regulation was very fast.

At that time, the working group of the Yueqing provincial Party committee and the provincial Party committee had great divergent opinions. Even when the Standing Committee was open, the Provincial Working Group sat on one side and the county leaders sat on the other side; the Provincial Working Group criticized a problem and the county rebutted it.

One of the key issues is the handling of the "eight kings". The Provincial Working Group believes that the "eight kings" of Liushi are engaged in speculation and fraud.

The reason is simple. You earn so much money is capitalism.

In the case of "eight kings", it was useless for the county to argue with the Provincial Working Group for a long time.

As a result, 7 people were sentenced to 7 years' imprisonment.

There were 1 other people who had absconded outside and did not dare to come back.

After the arrival of the Provincial Working Group, the pressure on private economy is very high.

For instance, there were many Yueqing people at the time in Xinjiang Corps.

The people in Xinjiang came back and said that they had little food and drink there, especially without aquatic products.

There are plenty of Cola products.

A Yueqing people thought of pporting Yueqing hairtail to Xinjiang.

What a good thing it is.

The man is short of money and needs to borrow money from the bank.

At that time, the conditions for the approval of banks were very tight.

At that time, there was a secretary of the District Committee in Yueqing, an old comrade, who also supported the enlivening of the economy.

Because he is familiar with bank business, he contacted in the middle.

In such a case, the provincial working group insisted that the secretary was "providing convenience for speculation" and finally sentenced the Secretary to the sentence.

It can be said that at that time, the self-employed and private owners were all worried.

Another focus of the debate is mountaineering shoe factories.

It is fair to say that this shoe factory is not related to private economy. It is a collective enterprise and does not belong to the key point of rectification.

What happened afterwards?

This is related to a letter of complaint.

This letter is written by a "Yueqing crowd", and the letter of complaint about "mountaineering shoes should not be placed in Yueqing, Zhejiang" reflects many problems of mountaineering shoe factories.

The letter says that the raw materials of mountaineering shoes in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, are exported to Shanghai, and are produced in Yueqing, resulting in a great waste of manpower, pportation and financial resources. They are losing the interests of the state. In addition, the wages of the workers in the shoe factories are higher than the local average wage by 3 to 6 times, which destroys the wage system. The letter also reflects the smuggling of the director of the second light Bureau, and the shoe factory bribes the Shanghai foreign trade company.

There are no problems with these problems after being investigated in the county.

However, the Provincial Working Group said that there must be some problems with the two light directors. It is the problem of inducing this thing to come over that it is induced capitalism.

As a result, the director of the second light administration is treated as a typical example.

In the end, they removed the mountaineering shoe factory.

A few cadres of the Yueqing county Party committee's recognition of Yueqing is in line with the spirit of reform. Therefore, in the discussion of the "eight kings" and the cadres of the second light Bureau, there is a heated debate with the Provincial Working Group.

The provincial working group accuses Yueqing of "capitalism" and Yueqing accuses the Provincial Working Group of "dogmatism".

Finally, the provincial working group reported to the provincial government that the leading group in Yueqing had problems such as "being sober about Yueqing and being unaware of their work, and not supporting and uncooperative with the working group", and then came down to investigate these leaders in the province.

In June 12, 1982, the documents were saved in the province, and all the posts of sun Bao Jing and Lin Keji, the county Party Secretary, were all free.

Soon after, his deputy secretary was removed.

Lian Zheng, deputy secretary of the Renxian County Committee at that time, said that you should go to study.

"In fact, I was pferred away, when I was in my thirties."

Lian Zhengde said.

It was not until 1987 that it was rehabilitated ("eight kings" 1984).

In 1987, the market economy of all parts of the country began to develop.

At that time, the provincial leaders said that the handling of the Yueqing County Committee at that time was wrong.

Yueqing's "eight great events" is a famous event that can be included in the annals of history.

In the history of the development of Zhejiang's non-public economy, and even in the history of China's reform and opening up, it may serve as a symbol.

After "reading" for some time, he was pferred to Taizhou, a prefecture level city near Wenzhou.

Successively in Yuhuan, Jiaojiang and other counties as the main leaders.

In the eyes of many people, after experiencing the "eight great events" in Yueqing, where the wind and rain are coming full of wind and rain, even the honest German should "frighten the gall" and should "converge".

Then, no one would have thought that in Taizhou, he has done a number of things that now seem to have been recorded in the annals of history, which led to the "cold sweat" of leaders at the time.

In Yuhuan, he first broke the political fence between Mainland China and Taiwan, making false appearances and pporting workers to Taiwan fishing boats.

At that time, it was a great event.

However, it is precisely this initiative that has opened the prelude to the cross-border operation of mainland labor force.

As early as in 1986, in Yuhuan, in view of the situation that private enterprises were in full swing and the start-up capital was extremely scarce, they invented the "interest floating" by themselves. Under the premise that the financial subsidy was five yuan, the interest on loans rose to one point, thus absorbing the foreign capital miraculously. The private enterprises in Yuhuan got the fresh blood that was hard to imagine in other places.

This is originally a small island with a very inconvenient pportation and extremely scarce resources. Today, economic development is firmly in the top 30 counties.

Many people said that the active funding of the original fund laid the foundation of Yuhuan's strong physique.

Also in Yuhuan, Lian Zheng invented the famous "red hat".

At that time, the private enterprise had no name and no points, and went out to do business and run business.

In order to be effective and intelligent, Lian Zheng thought of putting the business on the town and village collective, thereby giving the private enterprise a pass.

This is the red hat.

Wearing a "red hat" means that when a private proprietor registers for an enterprise, he will find a state-owned or collective unit, affiliated to it, and then register it as a wholly owned enterprise or collective enterprise.

Why should private companies wear "red caps"?

In the final analysis, it is still a word "fear".

What are you afraid of?

Afraid of wearing the cap of the exploiter, and afraid of being put into another register, they are afraid that the bank will not lend to them, for fear that the state's policy towards private enterprises will change.

Wearing a red hat is actually self financing, independent operation, free combination and self financing, but it should be paid to the affiliated units on a regular basis.

The advantage is that it is easy to get loans and some preferential policies (such as partial tax reduction), and the other is that it can get the affiliated units to take care of each other.

Despite the development of the times, the "red hat" has left the stage as a historical legacy.

However, recall that when the private enterprises started to be besieged and weak, who could think of such a simple and effective way to make private enterprises not die young?

Later, even Zheng de pferred to Jiaojiang, where he invented the "blue print account". At the beginning of urbanization, it offered a unique skill to resolve the contradiction between people's desire to enter the city and the lack of strength in urban construction.

At the same time, he invented the "school enterprise linkage" which is popular in Jiaojiang all over the country, and urged the integration of production, learning and research.

Even these stories are widely circulated in Wenzhou and Taizhou.

But it was the first time he was told by his own mouth that he could not be calm for a long time.

In the past thirty years, it is the innumerable "Lian Zheng de", which has pushed the ancient country to the virgin land and the new world.

To sum up experiences like Lian Zhengde should be a great asset for our country to move towards an innovative country.

Lian Zhengde summed up two things in plain language: 1, "don't put the black hat on the belt," meaning to take away and surrender at any time.

This is extraordinary political courage.

In the process of handling the eight great events, some people suggested that even Zheng de should not stand in the wrong ranks, but he always stood on the side of truth and did not consider the issue of the end.

In Yuhuan, the export of labor services, he is on the decision to delay the higher authorities directly with the "labor has sent" the report "forced", this is how bold!

This extraordinary courage and courage come from the deep consideration of the value of life, from the balance between the future of the country, the interests of the people and the interests of the individual.

2, "emancipating the mind is not a wild fancy".

Lian Zhengde said that emancipating the mind is not a reckless act, but a profound understanding of the law of things development.

Only by having a deep and correct understanding of the development of things can we correctly emancipate our minds and have the courage to uphold the truth.

He said that after a retrogression of twenty years or even thirty years, he realized that China's Liberation of productive forces through the development of all kinds of ownership economy is the inevitable development of history. All efforts and explorations committed to it will surely be recognized by history.

This is his ideological basis and his methodology.
