Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen Confrontation

In 1994, the opening to the outside world intensified all of a sudden. The central government has approved the establishment of a large number of economic and technological development zones and bonded areas throughout the country, opening up the border, river and provincial capital cities.An all-round, multi-level, focused, and gradual opening-up pattern in coastal, river, border and inland areas has taken shape.However, what followed was that stories mixed with ideological debates and confrontations between China and the outside world continued to unfold. New things emerge in endlessly, and old things will eventually be blown away by rain and wind.

The Alto started showing up on the streets, and the Fiat looked shabby and dated.At that time, a movie called "Hey, Fiat" told the story that in the 1980s, Ding Zhifang, a Wenzhou youth borrowed a usury loan to buy a Fiat car and became the first individual taxi driver in the city. Get out of the slump.Fiat is not only a means of earning a living for Wenzhou people, but also a symbol of Wenzhou's booming private economy.The TV film of Wenzhou City is currently being broadcast, but it can't stop Fiat's fate of being eliminated. Since the beginning of 1994, Fiat has withdrawn from the market one after another. In October, the municipal government issued a notice restricting all Fiats in urban areas to be scrapped and renewed before December 26, 1996.In this way, Fiat, which has been shuttling in the streets for several years, ended with such a dramatic ending.

History rolls in, and all obstacles are eventually crushed into slag, floating in the depths of memory along with time.Many years later, when walking on the streets of Wenzhou, you may still hear some old people hailing a taxi like this: "Hey, Fiat!" Alto's victory over Fiat is obviously a rare aspect of the replacement of old and new things. More crises and challenges are coming from outside.That year, China introduced the Oscar film "The Fugitive". The 40-year-old Harrison Ford's escape experience quietly created a box office record of 25 million yuan in the Chinese film market, making Chinese people exclaim "Wolf is coming" for the first time.

The natural law of survival of the fittest shows a hard and ruthless side.With nostalgia for old things, people throw themselves into the restlessness caused by new things, and their joy is beyond words. Things are growing darkly, and a storm is quietly brewing in the corner. The ebb and flow, the ups and downs are endless. Manufacture of products—attraction of material desire—consumption desire—market expansion—new product launch.According to this process, the economic cycle goes on and on, endlessly.The power contained in the market economy is subtle, and the Chinese wait and see in consumption and satisfaction, thereby creating a larger space.There is no doubt that the new space will be occupied by new products.

For foreign companies, this is undoubtedly good news. In 1994, Ford Motor Company established several subcontract factories for auto parts in China.Previously, German Volkswagen had established joint ventures in Shanghai and Changchun. The changes are not limited to these, and the American beverage giants are also eyeing the big cake of the Chinese market. In February, Coca-Cola and Pepsi respectively signed contracts with the Ministry of Light Industry of China.The former plans to increase its investment in China to US$500 million within two years.The latter stated that it will invest 350 million US dollars in China in the next 7 years to double its sales in China.

There is a "Coke" storm among young people in China.A common view is that Coca-Cola is a symbol of avant-garde fashion, more "style".There is often a long queue to buy Coca-Cola next to the cold drink machine in the famous shopping mall "Bluebird Building" in Beijing. A can of Coca-Cola costs 3.6 yuan, and a honey-flavored Jianlibao costs 3.5 yuan.But price is obviously not the main factor.A young man who "drinks Coca-Cola with meals every day" believes that iced Coke is very refreshing, and "no domestic beverage can match it." The most notable thing happened in 1993.Chongqing "Tianfu Cola" company was officially incorporated by "Pepsi Cola".This beverage company, which once boarded the state banquet in the Great Hall of the People, was once regarded as the hope of China's beverage industry, and its decline is embarrassing.This year, the two major cola giants expanded aggressively in China, successively acquiring eight beverage companies, with a record sales volume of 700,000 tons, accounting for 20% of China's carbonated beverage market.

Foreign companies are gaining momentum and pressing harder and harder, while local Chinese companies are facing challenges. "China Economic News" wrote in a pessimistic tone: "The number of Chinese beverage companies that can compete with foreign companies is very disappointing. Except for the outstanding Jianlibao, there is only one new 'Hainan Coconut Juice' remaining." company." However, Jianlibao also gradually felt powerless.Li Jingwei, general manager of the company, appealed more than once: "We need the government to provide preferential loans in order to expand production, improve technology and open up new markets. The government must also properly control foreign companies."

Li Jingwei's ideas represent the aspirations of most local entrepreneurs.With the large-scale entry of international capital, more and more multinational companies are making efforts in the Chinese market, and local companies in various industries are facing unprecedented challenges.However, the administration was eager to enter GATT and clearly would not enact restrictive policies. Of course, the government will not sit idly by. At the beginning of 1994, the State Council made the "Decision on Further Deepening the Reform of the Foreign Trade System", proposing that the goals of the reform of the foreign trade system are: unifying policies, opening up operations, equal competition, self-responsibility for profits and losses, combining industry and trade, promoting the agency system, and establishing a system that adapts to the international economy. The operating mechanism of the general rules.

Li Jingwei and others are worried, but the policy of trade barriers is not a long-term solution after all.In foreign trade exchanges, Chinese companies still have a lot to learn. The government prefers that local companies grow in competition rather than blindly provide greenhouses. Forward-looking business people have already begun to enrich themselves.In Beijing, the School of Business Administration of Peking University was renamed Guanghua School of Management and welcomed the first batch of MBA students in 1995.In Qingdao, Zhang Ruimin, who led Haier to its 10th year, proposed the "OEC" (Nissin Nisko) management method.Now it seems that this is the most primitive crystallization of "Chinese-style management".

The central government is busy building and consolidating the economic achievements of reform and opening up, while outsiders are staking their fortunes.World integration is the general trend, and competition and confrontation are inevitable.Chinese entrepreneurs have no choice but to stand up and resist. The competition between Chinese and foreign enterprises will naturally affect Wenzhou.Wenzhou people suffered a lot in the confrontation. Winter is getting farther and farther away, and the chill in people's hearts has not dissipated.Inexplicable pressure rushed to the face, and everyone tensed up.Fate is insurmountable, but before the result is finalized, no one gives up lightly.

After the Spring Festival, a self-employed person went to the civil aviation ticket office to buy a ticket to Guangzhou.The conductor informed that the tickets were sold out, and he said without hesitation, "Then I will buy it in Hangzhou and then transfer." "Hangzhou air tickets are gone." "Then why don't you just buy Beijing." The ticket sales lady was surprised: "Why do you have to go around such a big circle when you go to Guangzhou? Is it economically economical?" The self-employed said: "The purpose of our business is Quickly, you can make money quickly. It doesn’t matter how much you spend on air tickets.” The small episodes in the background can always highlight the distinct meaning.The sudden emergence of private enterprises in Wenzhou once created infinite glory, but just like unscrupulous weeds, they will always be ruthlessly destroyed after they grow wildly. "A tree is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it." The grassroots rise of Wenzhou's private entrepreneurs has caused panic among foreign competitors. The Pacific Ocean is vast and ethereal, and the other side is plotting. Self-employed people in Wenzhou are still running around, but in the face of the cold national will, all their hard work is doomed to be in vain.Like waves rushing towards a cliff, they accumulate strength again and again, and after a violent impact, they will always shed hope that will be smashed to pieces.One wave after another, with little effect, but the impassioned and impassioned, but a little more tragic. In the past few years, the market share of Wenzhou lighters with high quality and low price in the United States has been rising steadily.American companies headed by the well-known lighter manufacturer ZIPPO have repeatedly launched targeted anti-dumping lawsuits, all of which have ended in vain.But in 1994, Wenzhou lighter industry will encounter a long-planned ambush.The U.S. government brazenly launched the CR bill aimed at safeguarding the interests of domestic lighter manufacturers, trying to push Wenzhou lighters, which have conquered the U.S. market, into an abyss of destruction. In the early 1990s, fires were caused by children playing with disposable lighters in the United States every year, causing tens of millions of dollars in losses.95% of disposable lighters in the US market come from Wenzhou. Taking this as an opportunity, ZIPPO actively lobbied the relevant domestic legislative bodies, which eventually led to the introduction of the CR Act. The full name of the CR Act is "Child Resistance Law", which means "Preventing Children from Opening Act".On the grounds of protecting children, the bill requires that all lighters with an imported price of less than US$2 must pass a series of inspections such as safety devices, labels, tests, certifications, and cargo storage before entering the US market, so as to prevent children under the age of 5 from opening them. Most of Wenzhou's lighters exported to the United States cost around US$1 without any safety devices.The intention of the Americans is obvious, that is to keep the increasingly popular Wenzhou lighters on the other side of the ocean forever. Once the bill was passed, Wenzhou people were caught off guard.Due to lack of understanding of the specific requirements of the regulation, some companies blindly crossed the border, resulting in the container being seized, returned or confiscated by the US Customs, and even fined.Taking Huang Fajing's company as an example, its sales to the United States dropped by 70% in an instant, and more lighter manufacturers fell into a slump as a result, leaving them feeling lonely. In disasters, some fall and some rise. The CR Act shattered the ambitions of countless Wenzhou lighter manufacturers, but it cannot destroy the aspirations of Wenzhou people.The scenery of the past is drifting away, following the fragmented dreams of fellow villagers, some Wenzhou people embarked on the road of revival. They have various postures and are shining brightly.Tragedy, but not sad; small, but enough to shock people. Wandering between flying and lonely, the people of Wenzhou, accustomed to being reborn from the ashes, once again regrouped and moved forward sonorously.The story of Lin Guang is the most unmissable part of it. Nine years ago, in 1985, Lin Guang was a Chinese medicine doctor in a hospital in Wenzhou City. He went to the United States alone, worked as a doctor for two years, and then worked in a restaurant.Not long after, he asked a friend to import small commodities from Wenzhou and set up a stall on the street to make a living.The most sought-after product on the booth is Wenzhou lighters. When he had some savings, Lin Guang established the American Lucky Trading Company, specializing in Wenzhou lighters.The high-quality and cheap Wenzhou lighters are very popular among ordinary consumers in the United States.Therefore, Lin Guang is known as "the first person to sell Wenzhou lighters to the United States". After the promulgation of the CR Act, Lin Guang's business also suffered a heavy blow.But he embraced the challenge, "International trade has its own certain rules of the game. If anyone wants to participate and win, he must create conditions to abide by and adapt to these rules, otherwise he can only be eliminated by the market."For the next three years, Lin Guang devoted himself to the research and development of new technologies. After repeated experiments, he finally invented the "heavy child-resistant opening device", which was protected by a US patent. However, Lin Guang did not rely on this for personal gain, but shared it with Wenzhou lighter enterprises free of charge.Since then, Wenzhou lighter manufacturers have overcome the barriers of the CR Act and re-occupied half of the US lighter market. Confusion passed by in a flash, prosperity and decline one after another.In the future, despite the endless changes in the rules of the game, Wenzhou people gradually became more comfortable in the initial passivity. Overseas, lighter makers are jumping into the dragon's gate. This is the most precious wealth that Wenzhou people have obtained in the Sino-foreign trade war.In Wenzhou, a civil servant "going to the sea" realized by accident that "real gold is not afraid of fire", and started a business with high spirits. On the morning of April 8, 1994, No. 106, Jade Building, Renmin Middle Road, was decorated with lights and festoons. "Anxin" solid wood floor shop opened, the owner's name is Lu Weiguang.A few days ago, he was a civil servant at the Municipal Fishing Vessel Inspection Bureau.There, he served six years.In retrospect, he said, he was simply "misguided." Lu's father runs a game console business. 14 years ago, the Japanese Nintendo game console was introduced into China for the first time, and the Lu family became rich overnight.But Lu's father did not want his son to go back to the old way.Lu Weiguang was quite stubborn.By chance, he heard his father discuss the building materials business with Hong Kong businessmen, and he came up with the idea of ​​operating flooring. In 1994, the price of flooring was no less than 200 yuan per square meter, and the highest price could reach 1,200 yuan per square meter.Under pressure from his family, Lu Weiguang quit his job, borrowed 300,000 yuan, rented a 28-square-meter shop, and entered the first batch of floors.At 10 am on the opening day, Lu Weiguang welcomed the first guest.The young man walked into the store, looked and touched, "Is your floor good? Has anyone bought it before?" Lu Weiguang, who was in a hurry to open his business, blurted out: "It is wear-resistant and not afraid of being scalded." The young man was more serious: "I am decorating the house. You take a board and let me iron it for two minutes. If it is not broken, I will buy it." When purchasing the goods, the manufacturer said that the floor is not afraid of being hot, but Lu Weiguang did not try it himself. "If I don't try, I don't have a chance."He handed over a piece of floor, "Hot it!" The young man lit a cigarette and patiently burned it on the floor. A cigarette of about 10 centimeters becomes shorter little by little.Two minutes later, the floor was safe and sound.In the end, Lu Weiguang sold the 18-square-meter floor at a price of 270 yuan per square meter, making a net profit of more than 1,000 yuan.From then on, Lu Weiguang "spirited up his whole body" and was full of confidence in the flooring industry.There are more than 5,000 wooden floor dealers across the country, and "Anxin" is just one of them.However, Lu Weiguang eventually cultivated "Anxin" into the leader of China's flooring industry. On August 25, 2009, "Wenzhou Business Daily" published an article titled "Anxin Floor 15 times the amount of money to find the first customer".Lu Weiguang explained: "We took action to find the first customer, and returned the money he spent on flooring to him 15 times after 15 years, expressing respect and gratitude to the customer." Lu Weiguang, the successor who is determined to win, has broken through many barriers and is a leader in the international flooring market.What kind of achievements he will make in the future, both inevitable and accidental, are fascinating. Even though the well-known achievements are far from 1994, all subsequent stories are foreshadowed in this year. This year, Nan Cunhui no longer worried about being blocked in the US market.Just a few months ago, he had just swept away the fallen leaves with the autumn wind and brought 38 companies under his command.Chint Group was born out of nowhere and entered the US market forcefully, amazed everyone in an instant. However, the confrontation between Chint and Schneider, a foreign businessman, has just begun and will continue for a longer period of time. In the middle of the year, Schneider, the world's largest power and control company, sent business representatives to visit Chint.Nan Cunhui sent a special car to Yongqiang Airport to welcome the uninvited guests with the highest standard of courtesy.After visiting Chint headquarters and the company's production line, Schneider's business representative solemnly proposed to acquire 80% of Chint's equity in cash. Nan Cunhui could not allow power to fall aside, and sternly rejected the other party's proposal.In the following decades, Schneider and Chint staged "Butterfly Love Flower".However, "falling flowers are sentimental, flowing water is unintentional", the joint venture negotiations all ended in Chint's refusal.Every time the negotiation broke down, Schneider would initiate a lawsuit in the name of Chint product infringement, taking the opportunity to demand huge compensation. In 12 years, Schneider sued Chint as many as 24 times.Nan Cunhui kept silent. "Talk back to talk, fight back to fight", in the entanglement with Schneider, Chint and Nan Cunhui are both growing. With the expansion of the scale of the enterprise, Nan Cunhui also feels the importance of talents.The limitations of family businesses severely limit the ability of talents. In 1998, Nan Cunhui initiated the joint-stock reform within Chint Group. Through the implementation of the equity distribution system, Nan Cunhui weakened the family's controlling interest on the one hand, and distributed the vacated shares to the best talents on the other hand.Almost overnight, dozens of millionaires were suddenly born, most of them were employees of companies outside the Nan family.Chint has a completely new look.The number of shareholders increased from 10 to more than 100, and Nan Cunhui's personal shares dropped sharply to 20%.However, "Chint" has greatly increased its vitality and developed rapidly.Nan Cunhui said frankly: "Sharing is not generosity. For entrepreneurs, sharing is a kind of wisdom." On July 1, 1994, the Company Law was promulgated.This law, which has been in the works for five years, clearly stipulates the company's establishment, organizational structure, rights and obligations, and aims to establish a modern Chinese enterprise system and promote the development of a socialist market economy. Four months later, the State Council held a national pilot work conference on establishing a modern enterprise system in Beijing.Premier Zhu Rongji pointed out that modern enterprises can have various forms of organization, and we should explore various forms under the premise that public ownership is the mainstay. Become a listed company. Premier Zhu's remarks are naturally reminiscent of a comment on China's economic situation published in the "Nihon Kogyo Shimbun" in early 1994.That article predicted with a forward-looking perspective: "China will usher in a major turning point in 1994."At that time, some people asserted that the introduction of the "Company Law" and the "Modern Enterprise System" would become a watershed in the history of Chinese enterprises. The change is notorious, first happening to the business name.In the past, Chinese enterprises were mostly named after "factory", which was full of production flavor and insufficient commercialization. The "Company Law" was promulgated and implemented. Newly established enterprises are collectively referred to as "companies", and the legal representative of enterprises is "manager". From factory to company, from factory director to manager, the name change is just an intuitive manifestation of the grand turning point.Accompanied by various subtle changes, a series of substantive upgrades have taken place in the names, organizational structures, functions, rights and obligations of Chinese enterprises.It is undeniable that the promulgation of the "Company Law" has opened the door to the modernization process of Chinese enterprises. The changes are thorough in texture, but the origin of things starts from subtleties. In the second half of 1994, the company appeared in a huge and complex manner.New things are jubilant, as if the future is infinitely beautiful.People can't see a way out, but they feel inspired all the time and devote themselves to the operation of the company with great enthusiasm.Some are right and some are wrong, some are radical and some are outdated, rivers are running, and people are busy in their respective fields, presenting a scene of prosperity. Zhou Chengjian raised 4 million yuan and registered the trademark Meters Bonwe in more than 10 countries and regions at home and abroad.With an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, he hired professional manager Hong Wei as the company's deputy general manager.The two planned and produced a huge windbreaker 10 meters long, which attracted the frantic pursuit of the news media.CCTV's "Oriental Time and Space" column team put this windbreaker and Zhou Chengjian on the silver screen, and they appeared for 8 minutes. At the same time, Wenzhou's clothing market is undergoing industry restructuring. In order to pursue economies of scale, many manufacturers form alliances to form large-scale enterprise groups and create their own brands.Among the more than 1,000 suit factories in Wenzhou, the young "Willis" suit company stands out.A few months ago, the "Willis" brand suit produced by the company had just won a gold medal at the International Quality Commodities Fair. The boss of this company is Zheng Yuanzhong, who went to Wenzhou University to study at his own expense two years ago.During his study at Wenzhou University, he became a "good friend" with the first author of this book.At the invitation of the former, the first author of this book resigned from his teaching position and became the first general manager of "Willis" company.At the end of the year, "Willis" realized a profit of 15 million yuan. The competition in the suit market intensified, and Zheng Xingtao, who had no hope, switched to selling underwear.He invested 100,000 yuan in start-up capital, opened Wenzhou's first brand underwear store in Gaogongqiao, Wuma Street, and distributed Taiwan's "Bai Li'an" underwear.Business is not easy, but Zheng Xingtao "has full confidence in this industry."He registered and established An'an underwear trading company, invested a lot of money, opened a second underwear store on Guangchang Road, and put advertisements on Wenzhou TV station from time to time, "hoping to increase brand influence." Other industries have similar joys and sorrows. The Moon Rabbit Air Conditioner Factory went so smoothly that Zhang Youyu, Secretary of the Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee, personally advertised for them, and put the eye-catching words "Wenzhou Moon Rabbit Air Conditioner" on the rear windshield of his car. Moon Rabbit air conditioner has become famous, and the furniture market in Wenzhou is also showing signs of success.Many Wenzhou furniture manufacturers have the same feeling as Lin Panwu, the chairman of "Fudebao" furniture: "There are so many orders that we can't finish them." And the well-known Aokang stepped into the inherent predicament of a family business.The Wang family and the Qian family had many conflicts and constant frictions. Wang Zhentao and Qian Jinbo finally separated and went it alone.The relatives of both sides applauded, but Wang Zhentao couldn't be happy.After the separation, the leather shoe factory was seriously injured, "almost half-operating and half-stop", which lasted for three or four months.During that time, Wang Zhentao often felt breathless, and he was eager to establish a modern enterprise system. In fact, all kinds of good news are always superficial and superficial.With the invasion of foreign commercial forces, the grassroots model that has supported the development of Wenzhou's township enterprises for more than ten years is no longer enough to provide long-term impetus.Lacking modern enterprise production factors such as capital, technology and human resources, Wenzhou's private economy's "seam industry" is actually facing the threat of being eliminated. Not only Wenzhou, but the entire Chinese economy needs to make adjustments under the economic confrontation between China and foreign countries.As early as the beginning of 1994, the editorial of "People's Daily" once again emphasized: "China's economic growth rate maintains a high growth rate, but the overall situation is not optimistic." The French "Le Figaro" believes: "After several years of high growth, Beijing The government is trying to slow down the economic growth rate to 10%, so China is the only country in the world that is trying to slow down its GNP growth rate. Besides, China should follow the example of Japan, South Korea and other Asian newly industrialized countries to protect many Low-efficiency farmers and urban industries, until modern industry absorbs this part of the labor force." British "Sunday Times" reporter Norman McRae believes: "This is the future of China." In fact, the Wenzhou Municipal Government is doing just that. New companies sprung up like mushrooms, and a massive movement ensued.In this activity called "One Village One Product", the Wenzhou Municipal Government proposes that each village concentrates on producing one product and forms a specialized market in each village. As soon as the slogan was put forward, the responders flocked to take pictures. In an instant, about 500 large and small professional markets were established in the countryside of Wenzhou.In order to open up sales, 100,000 Wenzhou people spread all over the country to sell Wenzhou small commodities.Those who left Wenzhou are lucky, but also painful.They survived the catastrophe, but they wanted to cry for their relatives and friends who died. At 10:30 p.m. on August 21, 1994, the typhoon landed in Haicheng Street, Longwan District, Wenzhou.When the gust at Kanmen Station in Yuhuan broke through 50m/s, the strong wind mixed with torrential rain poured into the land of southern Zhejiang. "When FRED carries the vast tide and swallows everything, everything is in vain."The losses caused by the typhoon were appalling: 840,000 houses were damaged and 170,000 houses collapsed; 98,000 hectares of farmland were flooded, and 46,000 hectares of rice grains were not harvested; 760 kilometers of embankments were washed away; more than 60,000 industrial and mining enterprises stopped production, causing direct economic losses reached 9.5 billion yuan.What is particularly distressing is that more than a thousand people died in the typhoon.The entire Wenzhou city was covered with ocean. Disasters are like fables, like the whole era, with impetuous emotions rumbling past, and many people plunged into it before they could see the direction clearly, stirring up even bigger waves.Looking back on the past in the future, I feel self-conscious. Everyone is in a hurry, and sanity has become so scarce.In such a big environment, Wu Wei, a 25-year-old Wenzhou youth, chose a road of no return.In the next 6 years, he will linger in hesitation and forge ahead hard. The year before, my father, who ran an electromechanical business, was cheated out of tens of millions, and the company fell into a slump.The Wu family was immersed in dark clouds.One day, Wu Wei saw in a Hong Kong magazine called "Sun Moon" that China's first sex shop opened in Beijing.Chinese people are gradually opening their minds, and their curiosity about sex has turned into a huge market.The health care product industry has great potential, but due to policy restrictions, the operation of sexual products is in a gray area. This is not a confrontation but it is better than a confrontation, a confrontation between ideas and consciousness, new and old. Out of the sensitivity of businessmen, Wu Wei decided to go to Beijing for inspection, accompanied by his father Wu Zhenwang, second brother Wu Hui and his girlfriend. Near the Baita Temple in Beijing, the four wandered around for a long time, and finally found the shop.Strictly speaking, it's not really a store: it's just a pharmacy with a few unbranded, unapproved masturbators on one counter.Still, the products are selling well, bringing in 4,000 yuan a month for the pharmacy. At the end of 1994, "Adam and Eve" health products company was established.The store caused a sensation on the first day of opening. As the first sex shop in Wenzhou, the business is booming.A year later, Wu Wei opened a number of branches and applied for production and sales approvals from the State Food and Drug Administration, which is justified. Wu Wei was proud of the spring breeze, and planned to distribute the products to pharmacies across the country, so he approached China Pharmaceutical Group for cooperation. "We are very optimistic about Sinopharm's sales network. It is so huge that the effect must be good." The result was unexpected.Wu Wei had a vague sense of the seriousness of the problem. After several investigations, he found the reason: both buyers and sellers were ashamed to talk about their conservative sexual concepts. The market is huge, but the products are in the predicament of slow sales.After a year, Wu Wei suffered heavy losses.In order to find a breakthrough in the market, he once thought of many ways.However, according to the policy, sexual health products can neither be advertised nor promoted.Wu Wei resorted to frequent methods, but all of them had little effect. In the past 6 years, the "Adam and Eve" health care product company was in a half-dead state.Several times, Wu Wei wanted to close the door, but in the end he did not give up.At the beginning, he spent countless efforts to approve the paper, not to mention that there are only two such papers in the whole country, so it is a pity to discard them. China and the outside world are interacting tacitly, and in this hustle and bustle of business, Wu Wei is the loneliest one this year.But he kept thinking that if he endured for another two years, maybe the spring would be warm and the flowers would bloom. In the fall, "News Digest" noticed a detail that happened on the Wenzhou campus: I learned from several small schools in downtown Wenzhou that some students from relatively affluent families have used business cards in communication with classmates, and there are various types .A student surnamed Lin from Washi Primary School, on his business card, in addition to the school name, name, address, and class, also included his home phone number, his father's mobile phone, pager number, and his father's position.Some Wenzhou people became eager and impatient.Encouraged by wealth, they are no longer reserved, but show others with an upright and even proud face.This, perhaps is not a good thing. A case of murder and robbery in Sanya proved this point. One evening, Cheng, a 32-year-old Wenzhou boss, drove a Honda 2.0 car to go out for errands.After driving to Phoenix Town, he was hijacked by gangsters.After being robbed of more than 3,000 yuan in cash, a gold ring, a BP machine and other belongings, Cheng was finally strangled to death with a nylon rope, and his body was discarded in the grass on the beach at the Haipo construction site in Fenghuang Town. The perspective switches back to the beginning of the year. In March 1994, at the Second Session of the Eighth National People's Congress.Premier Li Peng pointed out in the "Government Work Report": "Seizing opportunities, deepening reforms, expanding opening up, promoting development, and maintaining stability are the overall situation of the work of the whole party and the country. We must obey and serve this overall situation in all work , carefully handle the relationship between reform, development and stability. Economic construction is the center of all work, reform and opening up is the driving force for development, development and reform are the basis for social stability and long-term stability of the country, and maintaining social stability is the An indispensable condition for economic development and the smooth implementation of reforms." As it is said, economic development requires a social environment that complements each other.The society under the tide of market economy is like a "campus business card", which is already noisy and troublesome.In such an environment, stability should of course be the theme. This year, a film called "The Greatest Love" was broadcast in movie theaters in Chinese cities.The movie makes people laugh or cry without any scruples, "but after great joy and sorrow, I always feel that it is really not easy to live."Personal destiny drifts with the tide and is drawn by history.Individuals whose lives are like ants can only produce the pain of life that they sigh in vain. At the end of the year, the writer Ye Yonglie returned to his hometown of Wenzhou to visit relatives. "Wenzhou has changed greatly in the past few years." Ye Yonglie felt a little strange. Except for the old city in the city center, he no longer "knows the way of his hometown"!Changes happened rapidly during the confrontation, and the Wenzhou people who were in it couldn't feel it, but even bigger changes would sweep the city.
