Chapter 6 Chapter Six

Let's talk about Wu Renbao again, and let's talk about his "difficult official position". Wu Renbao is such a person: During his nearly 50 years of career as a "village official", he has focused his life pursuit on the goal of "making the people happy is my greatest satisfaction".In order to achieve this "satisfaction", he believes that he must take the responsibility of "being a difficult official" on himself. The "difficulty" here, as I understand it, may be the hardships of starting a business, or the risks of starting a business, or the ability to face and deal with various non-positive factors after a successful start-up.Among all the "elites" of Chinese peasants, Wu Renbao may be able to bear the most of this kind of "difficulty" - because he has been in power for the longest time, and he is also the wisest and smartest person to resolve this "difficulty" ——Almost no "typical" and "elite" can survive fifty years like him, and the red flag has been fluttering in the wind; of course, he is also the harvester who has achieved the greatest success in the face of such "difficulties"—he has created an undisputed The "No. 1 Village in the World".

Today's Huaxi Village, whether it is the leaders of the party and the country, or ordinary people who came to visit, or foreign heads of state and dignitaries, people praise her with one voice.The point of this praise will naturally focus on Wu Renbao, the man at the helm who created miracles.However, people don't fully understand Wu Renbao's great efforts and the "difficult" things he has experienced for a long time... ——In the early days of his business, his reputation as a "bad team" almost broke the marriage of a generation of young people in Huaxi, because he exchanged a pair of firm feet and a shoulder that "sworn to change the old appearance" in exchange for the "Golden Phoenix" Fly back to Xinhua West;

——The ambition of "a field with tons of grain per mu" has been drawn into a caricature, and big-character posters of "Blowing Brigade" and "Blowing Secretary" are plastered all over the village.It is also because he and the masses condensed the golden valley and mountain wheat piles with sweat and tears to blow away the "evil wind"; ——Secretary of the county party committee for five years, when he worked hard to bring Jiangyin to the "second child" of the top 100 counties in the country, his political career fell into a trough because of the inertia of "peasant political stars falling one after another", Be a farmer again.He smiled lightly at this: He happened to be inseparable from Huaxi, and Huaxi could not do without him; Wu Renbao had another injustice: In 1999, he was elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress because he supported the establishment of several "Huaxi villages" in impoverished areas in other provinces. "As for the cadres who offended the egocentric cadres in certain areas of the province, he once again lost the honor that should have belonged to him-this time Wu Renbao smiled indifferently: I am over seventy years old, and I will dedicate my life to the people of West China This is my greatest honor, Wu Renbao.

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, the people who can become a great man of a generation are all because they all have a transcendent realm and firm beliefs.As a peasant statesman, thinker and practitioner, Wu Renbao's transcendent realm comes from the great spiritual power he gained after creating happiness and prosperity for the people; his firm belief comes from his deep understanding of China's rural conditions And the determination in the understanding of the bright future expected by Chinese farmers: the cornerstone of all those in power is the support and support of the people, and this is the most valuable and reliable.

Wu Renbao deserves to be a national treasure.The governing philosophy he summed up based on his own vicissitudes of life - "Blessed are enjoyed by the people, and those who are difficult to be officials" reflects the selfless and fearless mind of a Communist. Huaxi is rich today, but Huaxi's success is by no means a gift from God, let alone smooth sailing.If it is said that the reason why Huaxi did not experience ups and downs like the typical agricultural models of Dazhai and Daqiuzhuang, there is an unshakable and undeniable fact: Wu Renbao, the leader of Huaxi Village, compared with the above two typical main leaders, in addition to having In addition to higher political resourcefulness, that is, his inner world understands more deeply than others how to place the relationship between "officials" and the people-in Wu Renbao's eyes, he is always people-oriented and people-oriented. Lord, put the people first.

He is thus invincible.Therefore, he became a great man with a taste of earth walking out of the ridge. There are really many "difficulties" in Huaxi Village.Wu Renbao, who is often seen in the media and public figures, is very unrestrained. In fact, when you walk into Wu Renbao’s world patiently, you will find that he has more "difficulties" than anyone else - the lines on his face are the witnesses, but these lines on his face are in the end. Blooming to people with a bright smile... Before the age of 60, Wu Renbao worked more than 16 or 7 hours a day, but now he is nearly 80 and still works more than 14 or 15 hours a day.In his own words, "It is difficult for a person to live to be 100 years old, but he can work for the people for 100 years."

The admiration and love of Huaxi people for their old secretary is more often a critical moment when Huaxi is in trouble.The old villagers still remember: during the years of "manufacturing", the joint venture between Huaxi Village and a woolen sweater factory in a certain city suffered losses for many years, which became the "heartache" of Huaxi people for a while, and it seemed that no one could do anything.The villagers and cadres stared at the old secretary who was over sixty years old. "I'll take care of this!" The 70-year-old man got up early every day after taking on this heavy burden.Sometimes, in order to solve a difficult problem, Wu Renbao, who got up in the middle of the night, would smoke for several hours in a row, which made his wife at a loss for what to do.

"Get rich in silence." Comrade Jiang Zemin admired Wu Renbao and Huaxi Village's way of getting rich very much, and once described it like this.And Wu Renbao said frankly: There are often turbulent waves in this "dull sound". In the late 1990s, the development of Huaxi Village was in full swing, and a bigger and grand idea began to be brewed among the younger generation of managers of Huaxi Village—— "Old Secretary, our Huaxi Village should focus on superior enterprises and strive to go public!" Wu Xiedong, who was in charge of Huaxi Industrial Production at that time, was the eldest son of the old secretary who raised this question to Wu Renbao.

Wu Renbao's eyes widened, with rare doubts in his eyes, staring at his eldest son and other village cadres: "Have you argued?" "It has been demonstrated. Based on the current status and future development of our Huaxi Village enterprise, going public is the only way to go." "Oh? The only way to go? But we are a village-run enterprise, and we are still far from modern large-scale enterprises in many aspects..." "And through going public, we can just promote the improvement of our company in this aspect..." Wu Renbao glanced up at his subordinates, they were all younger than him. "I——consider it." Wu Renbao frowned, got up solemnly and left the village officials.

"It's broken, the old secretary is against us going public!" Someone became anxious. "Don't be afraid, let's make more preparations for the certification and reasons for listing, and we can explain it to him when we formally discuss it!" It was Wu Xiedong who said this. A few days later, the vote on the listing decision began.There were a total of 12 people at home at that time, and the "top leader" Wu Renbao attended the meeting as scheduled.The venue was very serious, because the village cadres knew in advance that the attitude of the old secretary, who had always been determined, remained the same.

Voting began: 11 people raised their hands in favor and 1 objected, and the opponent was Wu Renbao. The minority obeys the majority.Huaxi Village has always been like this.But the old secretary's "no vote" is very important. No matter what the reason for the cadres' consideration, they still want to hear what his "objection" is. "Huaxi Village has a status in the hearts of the people of the country. We must do three things when we go public: shareholders are satisfied, villagers are satisfied, and the brand of Huaxi Village cannot be smashed. Now you say, I listen..." Wu Renbao lit a cigarette with a serious face Staring at the cadres. The venue was silent for a while.After a long while, someone finally took the lead in speaking: "Okay, let's talk about the benefits and reasons for going public..." So, you said something, I said something, a "listing" debate was "heated" in the Jinta conference room of Huaxi Village, and it lasted for several hours... "Old Secretary, it's time to hear your opinion!" All the cadres turned their attention to Wu Renbao. At this moment, Wu Renbao changed his serious expression just now, and resumed his usual smiling expression: "First of all, I want to explain that I have been holding 'objections' to the listing these days, which is not my original intention. My true My mind is that the enterprises in Huaxi are industries run by our peasants. Whether they can integrate into the same track with those large enterprises listed on the market and have greater development is what I am most concerned about. When deciding on such a major event as listing, I I want to hear everyone’s real opinions, so I used the method of voting against to try to obtain your various certifications for listing, and now my goal has been achieved. I declare: Huaxi Enterprises must really go out of the field—listing !" Look at Wu Renbao, his "objection" is also to gain more reasons for his approval! August 10, 1999 is of historical significance to Huaxi Village.At the moment when applause and bells rang through the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the world financial market ushered in a new guest who made one billion Chinese farmers proud. It was Huaxi Village stock code "000936" successfully listed: 35 million shares The listed price of 8.3 yuan rose to 21 yuan at the close of the day! Going public is a happy event rather than a difficult one, but a poor listing may be the biggest difficulty. Wu Renbao said frankly in the future: In the face of some difficult and risky tasks, a leader must have the courage to take on them. This is the minimum quality for a communist to be able to seek happiness and prosperity for the people. 2003 was another historic moment for Huaxi Village. During the "July 1st" party's birthday, Huaxi Village held the sixth village party congress. Wu Renbao proposed that he leave the position of "top leader" in Huaxi Village for 48 years to a 39-year-old young man, and he himself Retired to the "second in command" position of the director of the general office of Huaxi Village and the deputy general manager of the group company. The abdication of the village party secretary, the lowest administrative official in China, has triggered hundreds of media reports at home and abroad.Wu Renbao's "abdication" suddenly caused thousands of waves!There are two problems at this juncture: First, Chinese officials generally only go up, not down, especially the "top leader" seldom retreats to the "second leader" position.Wu Renbao himself said: "This is another kind of 'difficult to be an official'. I said earlier that I worked until I was 80 years old, but the situation in Huaxi Village was very good in 2003. I came to a rapid retreat. One is to hope that I am not confused The second is to break the precedent that the "top leader" cannot be relegated to the "second leader". I have worked in Huaxi Village for 48 years. I don't have to build a monument myself, and the masses will have eyes. Usually, as long as I myself will not give up, and may be able to work in the position of 'top leader' until the moment I close my eyes. But this is actually leaving a big problem for future generations and the cause of the entire Huaxi Village. For a person who may be a meritorious For countless people, whether he can consciously and sincerely solve such difficult problems by himself is actually a test of the complete selflessness of the communists." In his later years, Wu Renbao once again used his own actions to let people appreciate the lofty mind of this old Communist.When explaining his "why he didn't fully retire", Wu Renbao once again stated: "I am in good health and have more experience. Huaxi Village is now in a period of rapid development step by step. As an old party member, a person with Huaxi Village As an old villager who lives and breathes together, I still want to do what I can for the people.” An ox pulling a plow and plowing a hundred acres a day can be called great; and an ant eating down the bones of an elephant with a thousand days of work is also a great act.The strength of Wu Renbao's personality is exactly the kind of greatness that I praise with the spirit of gnawing bones! This is Wu Renbao: a 78-year-old old man, he still wakes up at four or five o'clock every day and starts "walking the village to the factory", until he returns home at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, he still pays attention to everything that can be done in the village Responsible to the end. Wu Renbao, the "second in command", did two things after taking office in the new team of the village party committee: One is to suggest that the "top leader" lead all the new team members to take an oath to the revolutionary martyrs in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes on the occasion of the meeting in the capital. "For the cause of communism, the heads of the revolutionary martyrs can be broken and their blood can be shed. To build a better socialist Xinhua West, we must start from scratch now... Blessings will be enjoyed by the people, and difficult officials will be taken care of! Strive to sprint to 10 billion this year and win 20 billion next year! After three years of hard work, we will get 5 billion available funds!" On the sunny Tiananmen Square, Wu Renbao once again stood in front of the Huaxi village cadres, raised his right fist high, and demonstrated with the determination of a Communist Party member. Faith, leading the young leaders of Huaxi Village, sounded the battle horn of the new era. After Wu Renbao stepped down from the post of county party secretary, he led hundreds of village cadres to take an oath in the rain of Nanjing Yuhuatai. Today, the oath taken in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes in Tiananmen Square is not the same as the oath taken 18 years ago.At this time, Huaxi, in the words of a central leader, was "extremely good", but Wu Renbao didn't think so. When others were singing "Big Huaxi", he proposed "now Huaxi should be small" idea. This is the second "difficult" thing he did after becoming the "second in command". "Our country has joined the WTO, and the adjustment of industrial structure is imperative and imminent. If we want to seize the opportunity and go to the next level, the most important thing right now is to grasp the 'three-vehicle principle'..." At the team meeting, young new members Gathered in front of the old secretary and listened to his ingenuity: "These 'three vehicles' are that existing enterprises must drive steadily - drive at full speed and pay close attention to profitability; new projects that have been invested must be driven fast and put into production early; Hurry up and put the brakes on the project on the website..." "Is it that serious?" "The old secretary is right. When did his decision go wrong?" Wu Renbao waved his hand: "It's wrong, it's not my wisdom, it's the wisdom of the central government's policy. Just watch, within a few months, the central government's macro adjustment will be introduced..." Sure enough, following Wu Renbao's suggestion, Huaxi quickly made major adjustments to the "three-vehicle strategy" of the group companies. In November of this year, the central government's macro adjustment policy was introduced. There is a passive situation of comprehensive recession.However, the industrial enterprises in Huaxi Village did not have any negative effects due to the macro adjustments of the central government because they started early. The economic benefits of the village have risen rapidly, greatly surpassing the target of 6 billion yuan for the village's total industrial output value in 2003 set at the beginning of the year, reaching 10 billion yuan for the first time.It is precisely because Wu Renbao was able to face difficulties bravely at a major historical turning point and overcome them with resourcefulness, the development speed of Huaxi Village has increased by an annual increase of 10 billion yuan in the past two years. In 1985, Wu Renbao led a hundred villagers to make an oath in front of Nanjing Yuhuatai for "three years of hard work, with a goal of 100 million yuan". Eighteen years later, the economic benefits of Huaxi Village in one year are 100 to 200 times that of that year!In other words, today's Huaxi Village is creating more than one hundred new Huaxi villages every year! It is precisely this kind of accumulation that makes Huaxi Village happy and rich today, which is the envy of the world.It is precisely because of the happiness and wealth of the people in Huaxi Village that Wu Renbao was able to frankly face the question of whether there is his Wu family system in Huaxi Village when he was interviewed by the media, and he was able to answer this way: "Indeed, the 32 principals and deputy officers in Huaxi Village There are 5 children of my Wu Renbao family among the secretaries. But what I want to tell you is that it is not my designation for them to be secretaries. They became the secretary only after being elected and approved by the higher-level organization. It is true that the children of my Wu Renbao family are indeed officials in Huaxi Village, but they are not officials for my Wu Renbao family, but for the people of Huaxi Village. Someone once Doubt that the wealth of Huaxi Village is all in the hands of my Wu family. On the contrary, what I want to tell you is that in the history of Huaxi Village, there have been 6 people who have worked as the chief accountant, but none of them are me. It belongs to Wu Renbao’s family. Huaxi Village’s accounts, from 1961 to the present 45 years of accounts, can be open to the world. It can be said that if there is a concept of Wu Renbao’s family in Huaxi Village, then what I want to tell you is, The members of Wu Renbao's family are all doing things for the people of Huaxi Village. As their party members, they contribute every day and create every piece of wealth for their fellow villagers while constantly practicing the advanced nature of Communist Party members. Huaxi Village has today, It is inseparable from the hard work and sweat of these children in my family. I think if there are more families in China who are willing and able to bring happiness and prosperity to the people like Wu Renbao, our people in China will definitely live better than they are now. Much better, and I'll be immensely relieved because of that..." Wu Renbao said this in the "News Meeting Room" of CCTV. He was able to openly reveal his heart to the 1.3 billion Chinese people. Without the confidence of the Communists to be upright, selfless and open, he would never be able to do so. of. A rural cadre visiting Huaxi Village from other places found Wu Renbao after marveling at the harmonious unity and prosperity of the people and cadres here, and asked him, "Why is your place so good, while ours can't do well?" Wu Renbao asked: "How many years have you been the village party secretary?" The other party replied: "Three years." Wu Renbao smiled and said: "If you have been a secretary for 48 years like me, you must be very good there." Yes, in a world where the people are the masters of the country, if a leader can be in power like Wu Renbao for nearly half a century, if he does nothing, if he can't seek happiness for the people, I believe he can't be in power for such a long time.Wu Renbao said it well: "The party members and cadres of our Huaxi village have insisted for several years that "the people enjoy the blessings, and the officials who are difficult" actually reflect the principle of "the power is for the people, the love is for the people, and the benefits are for the people." The idea of ​​building the party for the public and governing for the people. Party members and cadres can overcome difficulties and work hard before the people, enjoy and enjoy the benefits of the people, and the people will stand with us and shoulder the burden with one heart and one mind. So what All kinds of human miracles are possible.” Take a look at Huaxi Village today, we feel that this is the driving force behind the development of this miracle on earth. Wu Renbao's Secret of "Not Getting Old": The Idea of ​​Wealth and Common Wealth. The most amazing thing for every Chinese and foreigner who comes to West China is: I can’t think of anyone in the world today who is richer and happier than the farmers here!Living in a spacious and high-end house—a villa of 400 to 600 square meters per household; eating healthy and green food—basically free; wearing beautiful and fashionable clothes—even for the elderly, the price of a set of “Compal” woolen clothes on their It is one or two thousand yuan; the modern and advanced ones used-do you city people dare to say "you have to buy a car without a cover"? What kind of sports car is "without cover"!
