Chapter 305: There are all difficulties that are too difficult to mention. Five updates
In fact, in 1992, although the problems of layoffs and corporate bankruptcies had appeared frequently, they had not yet reached their peak. It was only two years later that large-scale bankruptcies of state-owned enterprises were witnessed across the country.
It's just that at this time, many state-owned enterprises are indeed facing a crisis.
There are even people with personal experience who have summarized several signs before the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises in the 1990s: production is intermittent, wages are declining month by month; men cannot marry wives, and women cannot marry off, and most of them are internally digested;
The trade union dance hall is no longer noisy, it is overgrown with weeds, and all cultural and entertainment activities have been stopped; the boilers no longer burn, the machines no longer rotate, and they are all rusty in the blink of an eye; the 40 and 50-year-olds are dumbfounded, and their children can no longer take over and work by themselves.
We have also lost our jobs. We have changed our profession to building roads and learning to sell vegetables. All the prestige and glory we had in the past are gone. We hope day and night for the savior to arrive, but the facts prove that we have sacrificed ourselves for others.
Not long after, the second old man came back.
He was invited back by Ye Kai's second uncle Ye Zichu. He looked a little tired at this time, maybe because he had been a little too busy recently.
"Hello, Second Grandpa, how are you doing lately? I brought some caviar back from Russia. They are all from deep-sea fish. I will bring them back to you to eat later." Ye Kai met the Second Grandpa and was very attentive and courteous.
After pouring tea and water, he took out his own gifts to show off in front of the second old man.
The second old man looked very happy, and said with a smile, "Well, I am a bachelor, and I finally have a grandnephew who understands my heartache, and it is not in vain that I hugged you when I was a child."
Second uncle Ye Zichu immediately expressed his dissent, "Second uncle, how many times have you hugged them?"
"I've hugged you once, but I've hugged you once!" The second old man glared, "I've turned against you. I've grown up and my wings have hardened. My second uncle's words are useless. No one will listen, right?"
"I don't dare..." Second Uncle Ye Zichu muttered, "But you can't just take God's merit for yourself, right?"
"You just need to be dealt with, that's why you're just a lieutenant general now!" The second old man tapped Ye Zichu's forehead with his finger and said unceremoniously.
Ye Zichu felt a little embarrassed when he was picked on. He rubbed his forehead and said, "The juniors are here, but you don't know how to save some face for me? Isn't this too outrageous?"
"Who told you to be disobedient?" the second old man said, but when he glanced around the room, he saw He Qing sitting beside him. He couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "Hey, this little girl is very cool.
Small opening?"
He asked Ye Kai directly, but it seemed as if He Qing's appearance was inextricably linked to Ye Kai.
"Second Grandpa, what are you looking at? This is my father's secretary, Secretary He." Ye Kai said.
"Such a young female secretary..." The second old man muttered.
He Qing's face turned red after hearing this. It was just that due to the identity of the second old man, it was difficult to refute.
She already knew who the second old man was. The deputy chief of the Military Commission, he often accompanied the No. 1 chief or his successor to inspect the troops when the military needed to appear. And sometimes, at some meetings of the Military Commission,
The second old man is also the one sitting in the center.
He Qing looked at it and felt a little emotional in her heart. Ye Kai's family background is really indescribable, not to mention that there is also an old man Ye, who is the most senior even among the Standing Committee of the Central Committee.
After hearing this, Ziping felt uncomfortable in his heart. After all, with such a young and beautiful female secretary, everyone would inevitably have other thoughts after seeing her.
But with the second old man in front of him, it was hard for a junior like Ziping to say anything.
However, Ye Kai expressed his dissatisfaction, "Second Master, what is your attitude? He is a master's student proficient in four foreign languages. I specially invited him to be my father's secretary. Don't look at people through colored glasses, okay?
?”
When he was dissatisfied, he stopped calling him "Second Grandpa" and just called him "Second Old Master".
"Hey, forget me." The second old man laughed, and then said to He Qing, "Little girl, don't mind, there are no rules in our family, we are always like this, no matter how big or small, we are used to it."
After such a joke, the second old man also figured out one thing, that is, He Qing is a trustworthy person. After all, Ye Ziping cannot choose a secretary casually. He Qing can be selected. First of all, there is no problem with his political stance, so some words should be treated as such.
It was nothing to her face.
"You brothers are also strange. How come you all came back when you came back?" After resting for a while, the second old man asked this question.
Ye Ziping often returns to Beijing due to work reasons, but Ye Zichu rarely comes back unless some big events happen, because his job is in the army. Although he is the chief of staff,
There are so many things to worry about. Sometimes the commander and political commissar are not around, so he, the chief of staff, has to shoulder a lot of responsibilities.
Therefore, there are not many opportunities for the two brothers to meet each other, let alone appear in the Ye family's old house at the same time.
"It's because..."
"It's because..."
As soon as the words came out, the two brothers realized that the other person spoke almost at the same time as themselves.
Everyone laughed immediately, and then Ye Ziping smiled and said, "Second brother, you can talk about it first. We will talk about my affairs together when the old man comes back later."
"Then let me say it first, I can't keep things in my stomach." Ye Zichu did his duty and told the second old man all the injustices he had encountered.
It turned out that Ye Zichu had only heard about it before and didn't know much about the state-owned enterprises in Liaodong Province. He only heard people say that in the recent period, the society has been a bit chaotic, and some laid-off workers can't find anything to do.
It is inevitable to go to extremes, and even do things like robbing families and homes.
As for young female workers, there are more opportunities, but the reason for this is not obvious to outsiders.
"A comrade named Hu Weijun who I went to fight with in Annan once had his leg broken by a landmine. After he recovered, he was assigned to work in a state-owned enterprise in Anping City, Liaodong Province. The placement was OK at the time. He could write and do calculations.
An accountant job was arranged." Ye Zichu said with some indignation, "But an old comrade came to see me a few days ago and occasionally mentioned his affairs, saying that he suddenly committed suicide in the middle of last month!"
"Huh? What's going on?" The second old man frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"The factory went bankrupt, he was laid off, his wife was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, and my daughter went to the south with others. It is said that she worked in a hair salon, and then she was on the street..." Ye Zichu said, "It is said that Lao Hu hanged himself because he couldn't think about it for a while.
Dead."
"Alas..." After hearing this, the second old man sighed deeply.
The room suddenly fell into silence, and everyone obviously felt heavy about this issue.
Six years ago, Anping Explosion-Proof Equipment Factory became the first state-owned enterprise to go bankrupt, setting off a domino effect. Since then, the hurricane of state-owned enterprise bankruptcy and restructuring spread throughout Liaodong Province in the 1990s and even to the entire Northeast heavy industry base.
The factory went bankrupt, and most of the workers have not recovered. The masters and masters are looking at each other. Socialism cannot keep an iron rice bowl. Where will we eat in the future?
The pace of enterprise reform must naturally keep up with the pace of comprehensive social reform. Especially in Anping City, which is a heavy industry city, heavy industry is booming. Thanks to the raw materials of factories in the planned economy era, products are uniformly deployed by the state. However, comprehensive social reform determines
The 1990s was the decade of reform and opening up. Heavy industry had difficulty adapting to the new rules of raw material purchase and product sales determined by the market.
The ship disaster turned around, which led to the stagnation and decline of many state-owned enterprises in Anping City.
Looking at the entire 1990s, the country carried out large-scale reforms and reorganizations of industrial organizational structures. The proportion of some traditional industrial sectors in the national industrial output value has relatively declined (such as textiles, tobacco, food industry, etc.), which is related to the upgrading of the consumer demand structure.
Industries such as transportation equipment manufacturing represented by automobiles, electronic communication equipment manufacturing, pharmaceutical industry, etc. account for an increasing share of the industry.
In the layout adjustment of the state-owned economy, some industrial industries with high capital and technology intensity and significant economies of scale began to occupy important positions and even monopoly positions. However, large state-owned enterprise bases such as Northeast Heavy Industry and Jiangnan's textile industry were obviously not included in the 1990s.
In the international key development plan.
The bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises and the reorganization and mergers of state-owned enterprises have made the resettlement of a large number of laid-off workers in Anping City quite difficult.
Just one day before Ye Zichu rushed back to the capital, on the main streets of Anping City, laid-off workers from various state-owned enterprises spontaneously organized thousands of people to block the roads and demand jobs.
"How will the government handle it?" the second old man asked with concern.
"What else can we do?" Ye Zichu shook his head and said, "The police came over to maintain public order. The final solution was that the factory sent representatives to give each of the laid-off workers 200 yuan as emergency relief."
"Well, this kind of thing has difficulties in all aspects. Although it is said that veterans and returning soldiers should be given certain care, but the factories are gone, which one can you take care of?" The second old man shook his head and said, "I know.
You feel unhappy because your comrade died, so you ran back and wanted to seek justice for similar laid-off comrades. But have you ever thought about other laid-off workers? Haven't they made any contribution to the country?
?”
"This...is different..." Ye Zichu said.
"Same!" said the second old man Su Rong, "We are soldiers when we put on this military uniform, and we are ordinary people when we take off this military uniform! You can't rely on the country just because you have been a soldier for a few years. You don't owe anyone anything.
Who is it! Everyone is devoting their youth and blood and sweat to this country, and everyone is equal!"
As the deputy chief of the Military Commission and with a military background, the second old man is naturally qualified to say such things.
It’s just that there were other things that Ye Zichu didn’t say. He said with some depression, “If this is the only situation, forget it. The problem is, according to my comrade’s reaction, there is an inside story behind Hu Weijun’s death. He is probably
He was killed by someone else, not by suicide!"
"Oh?!" After hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
In this way, does it change from suicide to homicide?
