Rebirth of the Wild Age

Throughout 1995 and the first half of 1996, the slogan of Chinese enterprises was "recovering lost ground". Some succeeded, some failed, and some fished in troubled waters and made it big.

Boss Wu, the owner of Sanzhu Oral Liquid, originally made a five-year plan for the next five years: "In 1995, the sales volume will reach 1.6 billion to 2 billion, and the growth rate will be 1600% to 2000%. In 1999, the growth rate will be 50%. Reached 90 billion yuan in sales."

Does it seem like daydreaming at first glance?

However, the plan for the first year has been achieved, and the sales of the three oral solutions did exceed 2 billion yuan last year. Even in such a situation, a graduate of a famous school was very entangled in thinking: "I have two choices now, should I become a deputy county magistrate, or should I go to Sanzhu Company as a regional sales manager?"

It's not a joke, it's true.

At the end of last year, "Fortune" magazine included companies in all fields into the list of the top 500 for the first time, and Mr. Zhang immediately announced in a very high-profile manner: "Haier's goal is to enter the world's top 500 in 2006."

As soon as this statement came out, the slogan of "recovering lost ground" was sublimated again. We not only want to win the domestic war of resistance, but also go out of Asia and rush to the world, striving to become the top 500 in the world!

Therefore, those who make home appliances want to be in the top 500, those who do real estate want to be in the top 500, those who make catering want to be in the top 500, and those who make health care products want to be in the top 500...to be in the top 500. , has become the long-term goal of countless Chinese enterprises.

The central government and the academic circles have also worked out a strategy of "grasping the big and letting go of the small" to fully support those companies that stand out from market competition and send them to the world's top 500 as soon as possible. The goal of economic construction. Moreover, the country will also select many seed players such as Haier, Baosteel, and Changhong to become the vanguard of Chinese companies sprinting into the world's top 500.

1996 has thus become the most passionate year in the history of Chinese enterprises. The national economy took off, the enterprise regained lost ground, and then marched towards the goal of being the world's top 500.

Daewoo CEO’s autobiography "Great Achievements", the original and pirated copies are sold out, officials talk about "Daewoo model", entrepreneurs talk about "Daewoo model", and the media also talk about "Daewoo model". Numerous groups and companies open their mouths to frantically acquire state-owned enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy, and the government actively encourages this practice in order to get rid of the burden.

So this common phenomenon appeared: a company with assets of only a few hundred million yuan, but its business spanned more than ten fields such as real estate, medicine, home appliances, and clothing, and was burdened with huge loans. It learned from South Korea's Daewoo Corporation to build an "aircraft carrier."

Hurricane Rush!

Entrepreneurs no longer think about making products, channels, and markets well, but keep lending, lending, refinancing, mergers, mergers, and mergers, eating into a big fat man, and turning themselves into a behemoth .

Crazy, all crazy, including officials at all levels.

Mayor Huang was also affected by this trend, and actually approached Yang Xin and Song Qizhi at the end of March, intending to package and sell all city and county-level state-owned enterprises in the city to Xifeng Company and Xianjiu Group. This is completely equivalent to half selling and half free, the price is frighteningly low, and the government also helps with the aftermath, and even helps to contact loans.

Song Qizhi, Yang Xin, Zheng Xuehong, Chen Tao and others were all moved, so they picked it up for nothing!

Guo Xiaolan forcibly suppressed her, first went to the prison to discuss with her husband, and then called her son to communicate.

Song Weiyang hurriedly told Yang Xin and Song Qizhi on the phone that if they eat too much, they will be stuffed to death, so don't be tempted by sugar-coated shells. Therefore, Xianjiu Group only agreed to acquire the brewery, while Xifeng Company acquired the packing box factory in the city.

Why is the government eager to sell state-owned enterprises?

Because it can't last anymore, the average debt ratio of state-owned enterprises across the country has exceeded 80%. While operating in debt, they are still insisting on production every day. And the products of these state-owned enterprises cannot win the market, and they are often shipped directly from the production workshop to their own warehouses. Hundreds of thousands of employees of state-owned enterprises across the country have to eat, and the government is unable to feed them, so it can only hope for corporate mergers.

The government gives it away for nothing, and the enterprise picks it up for nothing. Both parties are happy.

In the midst of this collective madness, only a few entrepreneurs see the danger. Wang Shitou, who has undergone life and death transformation, wrote in the company's internal publication: "Emerging companies must not think that this is an opportunity for expansion. Now is an opportunity for 'proletarians'...If they can't do well, they are nothing more than 'proletarians'. But for those companies established in the late 1980s and early 1990s, now is not the time to expand, but to control themselves. There is no free lunch in the world, and the state can’t manage (state-owned enterprises), how do you manage?”

A sober person like Wang Shitou is often ridiculed: Look at that idiot, he doesn't want anything for nothing.

By the time of the Asian financial turmoil next year, most of these "gluttonous eaters" will spit out free food, and those who can't spit it out will be stuffed to death, which is difficult to digest!

...

March 10, the weekend.

The sun is shining, the spring breeze is warming up, and there are two days until Arbor Day.

On the playground of Fudan University, more than 100 volunteers were ready to go, carrying buckets and shovels borrowed from other enterprises.

Song Weiyang was also carrying a shovel on his shoulder, he lifted it up with a smile and said, "Let's go!"

Senior sister Liu Ziran stood beside her and took various photos. Not surprisingly, she will work as a newspaper reporter after graduation, or enter the government propaganda department. A series of articles about Fudan college students' voluntary activities made Liu Ziran famous in the Shenghai media circle, and "Wen Wei Po" even sent her an internship invitation in advance.

Not only Liu Ziran, other cadres of the Volunteer Association have also been trained and developed.

For example, last year's winter vacation organized education support activities. There were 48 applicants, but only 23 actually supported education activities. These people were divided into six groups. The commune reimbursed the round-trip fare, paid for their own living expenses, and went to four different mountainous primary schools to teach.

In order to realize planning and budgeting, it is necessary to contact the local education department, deal with villagers and cadres, and endure hardships in the mountains. Every link can exercise the ability and will of the volunteers. When they step out of the campus and step into the society, these are valuable experience wealth.

In addition to this tree planting activity, more than 100 volunteers went to parks, squares, forest farms, martyrs cemeteries, railways and rivers to plant trees. The association only provides saplings, and the rest needs to be solved by each group. Not only do they have to contact the unit where the tree planted, but they even have to find a way to borrow the shovel.

The big and small cadres of the association are always happy. While they serve the society, they also benefit endlessly.

"Jingle Bell!"

The sound of bicycle bells converged into a crisp and melodious tune. Song Weiyang pedaled forward in the traffic flow, the sapling was tied behind his buttocks, and his girlfriend was sitting sideways on the big bar of the car. Everyone sang "The Sunshine Always After the Storm" and laughed loudly.

An hour later, Song Weiyang came to the train station and called everyone to get off.

I had already contacted the railway department, and everyone went to pick up the water with buckets. Hand over the bicycle to the station staff, and then carry the bucket and saplings and walk for 40 minutes to the desolate railway section.

"It's here!"

The railway department also participated. They organized more than 50 employees to plant trees together with college student volunteers from Fudan University. This matter can be used for publicity, take pictures, write articles and publish them in the internal magazine of the agency, and then send them to the newspaper to show your face.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Lin Zhuoyun worked for several minutes with a shovel in her hand, only dug a small shallow hole, and said, shaking her arms, "The soil here is so hard, the ground is full of rocks."

"I'll plan it for you." Song Weiyang squatted down with a smile.

They are all large and small stones, probably left when the railway was built. After digging with bare hands for a while, Song Weiyang asked Lin Zhuoyun to wield a shovel, and the two cooperated to quickly dig out a tree planting hole.

"Don't step on the soil too hard, it will harden."

"You can't pour so much water, it will kill the saplings!"

"Dig the pit deeper, it's too shallow."

"..."

Some of the railway workers were knowledgeable, and they wandered back and forth for guidance, while the volunteers laughed and laughed at each other.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The flag of the Volunteer Association of Fudan University was planted on the side of the railway. A train was coming, and the flag fluttered against the strong wind.

The passengers on the train window looked at them curiously. Someone who had read the volunteer news reports, saw the flag, immediately stretched out his arm out of the car window and waved it, shouting: "Students, you have worked hard!"

"No hard work!"

"Bon voyage, my friend!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

There was laughter along the railway line, and when it was close to noon, everyone was tired and hungry.

Everyone took out the cloth sheets that had been prepared a long time ago, spread them on the ground as picnic cloths, and threw food on them. Eggs, fruits, bread, steamed buns, biscuits, canned food... There are all kinds of things, no matter who owns them, anyway, they eat as soon as they get them, and chat in full swing while eating.

A girl gnawed on the fruit and stood up, smiling and shouting: "Students, let's divide into two groups, how about a song competition?"

"Okay!" Everyone responded loudly.

In the spring in the suburbs, singing is flying.

The leader of the railway workers, looking at the smiling faces full of youth, couldn't help sighing: "It's so good to be young!"
