"Well, if you have other better solutions, just stop production. There's nothing I can do, sorry, brother."
"Thank you, brother. You've been very helpful. I have some new tea here and I'll send you some later."
"It didn't help, forget it. Let's talk about it later."
The two hung up the phone, and Yang Liufang made a prompt decision, asking Li Tongfu and Wang Shan to start thinking of ways to contact the tanneries in Qinghai and Tibet in the shortest possible time, urgently purchase a batch of ripe cowhide from them, and then return to the group to proceed. Deep Processing. The Tibetan Chamber of Commerce and the Qinghai Chamber of Commerce came to participate in the Western Conference. Yang Liufang was busy that day, so Li Tongfu received them and left his business card. After Li Tongfu communicated by phone, the Tibetan Chamber of Commerce gave a reply the next day. The yak leather produced by the Tibetan tannery factory is of high quality because it uses German technology. However, the supply of products in Tibetan areas exceeds the demand, and there is no goods that can be transferred. If Need custom leather, it will take a year. This is simply adding insult to injury to the imminent Liu Fang Industrial Group.
To his surprise, Wang Shan contacted the tannery factory in Xinjiang through the Commerce Bureau. Unlike tanneries in Tibet, Qinghai and Gansu, herdsmen could sell raw hides to other provinces and cities. At that time, Ili adopted a local protection policy and no external transfer of raw hides was allowed. In addition, Ili was the animal husbandry base of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region. Therefore, cattle, horse, and sheepskin resources are very abundant, which enables Yili Leather and Fur Enterprises to meet the supply of raw hides, and major tanneries have also achieved considerable development.
Following this, some local leather companies saw this opportunity and expanded their production capacity, so that raw materials and production capacity soon became equal. However, Yili is a vast country with a sparse population, and the consumption and export capacity of finished leather cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, there is a large amount of leather. Backlog. Some factories have even been operating at a loss since 1987 after expanding their production scale. For example, Yili Liqun Leather Factory, the largest local leather factory, recently expanded its tanning workshop by 2,600 square meters and purchased 6 foreign equipment and 75 domestic equipment. Four years of continuous losses, coupled with the use of bank loans to expand production scale, have resulted in the company being on the verge of bankruptcy.
Upon hearing that someone was willing to purchase their leather in bulk, that night the director of the tannery factory personally led the staff of the sales department and brought more than 200 pieces of high-quality finished leather that had been dyed and fattened to the local government department. With the help of the police, the group took a special plane to fly directly to Hanwangchuan Airport. Because it is a finished product, it means that after the group obtains it, it can directly produce related leather goods.
At that time, the Hanwangchuan Airport Expressway had been repaired, but because the airport reconstruction and expansion project had not yet been approved by the state, the Northwest Provincial Government only allocated a certain financial budget to repair the airport runway every year. The dilapidated runways and terminals could not meet the needs of daily passengers. need. Therefore, after the airport expressway was repaired, it was not put into use due to the small passenger volume at the airport. A group of people from the Liqun Tannery in Yili, Xinjiang, chartered a truck and mixed people and goods. After four hours of bumpy driving, they finally found the tannery of Liufang Industrial Group based on the demand information provided by the Yili Commerce Bureau.
Due to an environmental investigation, the tannery's electrical box was cut off from water and electricity, and the order for cars for the Women's World Championship was imminent, so Yang Liufang personally took charge of the factory these days, and the entire group was mobilized to actively coordinate the supply of supplies. In advance, the other party did not communicate with Wang Shan through the staff of the Commerce Bureau. Li Wei, who was out to do business, saw the arrival of this group of people in a hurry, unloaded the leather in front of the office building without explanation, and hurriedly asked them about their purpose. After the factory director explained, Li Wei understood and immediately came to Yang Liufang's office to report. The matter was urgent at that time, so Yang Liufang sat in the office and deliberately kept the door closed so that everyone could report on the progress of the work. In this way, the staff in the group's office building soon learned about it, and they ran out of the office one after another and went downstairs to greet these guests who came to help them in times of need.
Li Tongfu personally arranged for Li Wei to immediately arrange for quality inspection personnel from the technical department to inspect the leather. The secretary in charge of logistics fetched work clothes for everyone, arranged for workers to take them to the shower room to take a bath, and arranged for the canteen to prepare sumptuous dishes. The guests who had not rested all night were deeply moved. When Li Wei came to report that the leather was of the highest quality, the cooperation between the two parties was happily concluded at the dining hall table.
Because the other party was grateful for Yang Liufang's enthusiasm for them, they also insisted on reducing the price of each finished leather by 1 yuan. This made it 5 yuan cheaper than the group's own leather factory producing it. When Yang Liufang learned the result, his tight heart suddenly relaxed. Not only could the immediate problem be solved, but the subsequent development of the factory would also not be a problem. While raising glasses with the director of the tannery factory from Xinjiang, a purchase contract for 10,000 pieces of leather has been reached. This is also the first single purchase contract of such a large amount since the establishment of Xinjiang Yili Liqun Leather Factory.
Amidst the sound of "Yakexi", everyone raised their glasses and drank until they were happy. The Xinjiang guests danced a unique folk dance. Everyone clapped and beat the music, and gathered together happily.
The news of the workshop's suspension of production was announced through the aunt of the secretary of Hongtu Village and Xinye. That afternoon, workers who had been waiting at home and in their dormitories for work to start due to the suspension of production were summoned to the square in front of the complex. At this time, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, the northwest autumn sunshine was very warm, and the cool wind was blowing. In such comfortable weather, the workers were talking a lot.
"Is work about to start?"
"We are a high-tech enterprise recognized by the state, and provincial and municipal leaders will not fail to consider it."
"Boss Yang is a representative of the National People's Congress and has good relations with the province and city. I guess we can smooth things over."
...
But when they learned the news that the leather tanning workshop had stopped production, it was like a bolt from the blue. The whole place was silent, and a few minutes later there were cries from the crowd. These villagers, who had just transformed from farmers into workers and were working hard to become well-off by relying on their own crafts, had their future hopes shaken by this thunderbolt. The closure of the workshop meant unemployment, and it also meant buying factory dormitories at a low price at the end of the year. Lou's qualifications are lost. Workers are confused and angry about the future. Some are yelling at the Environmental Protection Agency, and some are going to petition the city government. But the secretary Auntie and Xinye stopped it, and the factory gave two months' salary compensation to all workers who were persuaded to quit due to the closure of the workshop. The simple villagers in the northwest are also very helpless about this. They know that the group has spent 3 million to hire experts from Xizhou University to deal with sewage discharge, and they also know that the profit of one of the group's projects has been reduced to zero due to fines. The leader of the group, Yang Liufang, is a star entrepreneur in the province and city and can do nothing. What can he do as a commoner? I had to choose to accept it.
Just as angry as these unemployed workers receiving compensation are the herdsmen. Over the past two years, the herdsmen have become accustomed to selling raw hides to factories. They sell more skins to group companies than to the state-owned purchasing stations in Xizhou City. 5 yuan. Different from paying i-notes at state-owned purchasing stations, group tanneries all pay in cash. This is the best way for the herdsmen who live on grass, because cash can be spent, while i-notes can only be cashed out after a specified time. Losing it during migration means it cannot be redeemed. In addition, the tannery has stopped collecting raw hides for several days now, and the raw hides hoarded by some herdsmen at home have become smelly. When they heard that production was suspended, it meant that they had to accept a white slip to sell to the state-owned purchasing station. Some herdsmen drove carriages to transport the leather back from more than a hundred kilometers away, and the losses were even greater when they were transported back. Some had no choice but to take it to the state-owned purchasing station. Others probably drank too much along the way and simply took away some of the leather that was about to stink. The original hide was thrown into the Zhaomagou river. As winter approaches, the Zhaomagou River enters the dry season, and the flow rate is slow. Pieces of raw bark are floating on the river, and the stench is overwhelming.
There are already many unemployed workers in the villages along the river, and they have gone to the development zone to make trouble, demanding that the development zone clean up the river and protect the environment. Director Lu instructed the Public Security Bureau of the Development Zone to deal with the matter seriously. The staff of the Public Security Bureau criticized and educated the herdsmen in the province. The herdsmen asked the Public Security Bureau to collect their raw hides. The public security officers were helpless and had to educate everyone on the law repeatedly. In addition to local herdsmen, there were also those from neighboring provinces, which involved regional jurisdiction. Director Lu and the staff of the district government were helpless and had to ask the city for support.
After the municipal party committee and Deputy Mayor Yu, who was in charge of the work, learned about it, they held an emergency meeting because this was a group incident. The result is only to criticize and educate the relevant herdsmen and appease the unemployed workers. For herdsmen in neighboring provinces, in addition to coordinating with higher-level agencies to assist in legal education, they also asked Director Wang of the municipal TV station to do a program to publicize the environmental harm of tanned leather and the blockage and pollution of rivers and rivers caused by malicious dumping of leather. Facts causing illegal crimes.
Director Wang established a special topic department, headed by a newly assigned top student from Communication University. These young people of the new era who have received the theoretical education of the news system, based on the principles of authenticity and objectivity in news work, made detailed reports on the cause, process and social impact of the incident, and conducted it during prime time aired. Because the report reflected that the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau only used rough fines without providing reasonable guidance, the enterprises that had led the villagers to get rich and worked hard to control pollution were shut down, resulting in workers losing their jobs, and the state-owned purchasing stations were offering idle notes and low prices. It also caused damage to the interests of the herdsmen, and recently led to the fact that rancid raw hides were dumped into the river, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among the relevant personnel. Soon Director Wang was transferred from Xizhou TV Station to serve as the head of the Northwest Radio and Television University. The director of the state-owned purchasing station was also dealt with and became an office worker in the Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau. The uproarious tannery incident ended in this way.
There were two wagons of leather from Ili, Xinjiang, passing through the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway, which had just been opened and undergoing electrification transformation, and arrived at the Liufang Industrial Group Leather Factory three days later. The leather factory was nervously involved in the production of car seats for the Women's World Championship. The leather in Xinjiang was of good quality and was highly processed. The group company completed the task on time with high quality and quantity.
