Chapter 19 first orgasm

In 1982, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued [1982] No. 1 Document on Rural Issues, kicking off a new round of rural reforms characterized by gradual marketization. In October, the Zhejiang Provincial Government decided to open the first batch of 197 kinds of small commodities, and implement negotiated pricing between industrial and commercial enterprises.In March of the first year, the provincial government decided to open the grain market after completing the unified purchase and storage of grain and oil. In November, the prices of 882 small commodities were further opened.At the Seventh Congress of the Zhejiang Province of the Communist Party of China held in the same month, for the first time, "actively exploring the market, promoting commodity production and commodity exchange" was written into the party's documents.

The year 1984 was a shining page in the picture scroll of China's contemporary reform.In October of this year, the Third Plenary Session of the Twelfth Central Committee of the Party was held in Beijing, and the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Economic System Reform" was passed, which proposed for the first time "the establishment of a planning system that consciously applies the law of value, and the development of a socialist commodity economy." .Around this year, the pace of reform in China was further accelerated, and a nationwide boom in the construction market also followed:

At the end of 1983, Wuhan City "opened the city gate and opened to the whole country", and Hanzheng Street Small Commodity Market ushered in merchants from all corners of the country; in the spring of 1985, Shenyang Wuai Small Commodity Market and Chengdu Hehuachi Market opened one after another; "Four Little Tigers", among which the cloth market in Nanhai, the small home appliance market in Panyu, and the clothing market in Dongguan became known around 1984, when the construction of professional markets in Zhejiang Province reached its first climax. In relevant yearbooks of Zhejiang Province, there are the following records:

"In 1984, there were 2,241 bazaars in the province, an increase of 826 compared with 1980, with an annual turnover of 2.69 billion yuan. The listed commodities are mainly agricultural products and non-staple foods produced and sold by farmers themselves. A few places with active commodity economy, On the basis of bazaar trade and specialized production of commodities, some specialized wholesale and retail markets have emerged, mainly selling bamboo and wood, aquatic products, small department stores, poultry, scrap steel, etc. According to statistics, in 1984 such specialized markets There are 63 formed in the province."

In addition, such a data is recorded in the archives of the statistics department of Zhejiang Province: In the professional market transactions in 1984, the turnover of small industrial commodities accounted for 18.5% of the total turnover, which was 540 million yuan. There is a piece of data that has little to do with the above description, but it is worth remembering: In 1984, the total retail sales of the whole society in Zhejiang Province was 14.9 billion yuan, and the retail sales of consumer goods were 116.5 billion yuan. Twelve years later, in 1996, The turnover of Yiniao Small Commodity Market reached 18.5 billion yuan, that is to say, the turnover of one market greatly exceeded the total social retail sales of the whole province 12 years ago.

Chewing on this set of numbers, and looking back at the years of overcoming obstacles more than ten years ago, anyone will pay attention to Yiwu, the farmers in Yiwu and Xie Gaohua in Yiwu.
