In the late 1970s, Xiaogang Village, Fengyang, Anhui Province was the first in the country to implement the family contract responsibility system , which set off a wave of rural construction in the country.
In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, many small villages have developed into new types of rural areas, every household has a prosperous life, and their lives are getting better and better.
See these thousands of villages, and we have to mention a treasure land of "the world's number one village" - Huaxi Village. The glorious deeds of Wu Renbao, the helm of this first village, have been repeatedly praised by later generations.
Someone said, "Without Wu Renbao, there would be no story in Huaxi Village."
deeply agrees.
Back then, Wu Renbao, who was only 31 years old, took over the poor village of Huaxi Village.
He has worked for 48 years and has built a small village in Jiangnan, which is famous for its "poverty", into a national model village for poverty alleviation and prosperity.
He adhered to the concept of "the people who are blessed will enjoy first, and the officials who are difficult will be the first", and he set the stage for the trend and successfully led the villagers of Huaxi Village to the path of industrial development and achieved common prosperity.
The past fifty years have changed, and we are seeking to be the first. The story of the old branch secretary and Huaxi Village for decades, as well as the decline of Huaxi Village after his death, have been left to later generations to slowly comment on it.
01. He only chose the most suitable road
928, Wu Renbao was born in a poor peasant family in Wujiaji, Huashu Township, Jiangyin County, Jiangsu Province, which is now Huaxi Village, Huashi Town.
When he was young, his family was poor and his society was in turmoil. He suffered a lot when he was a child, and these sufferings have also tempered his perseverance.
961, Wu Renbao, who had four years of experience as a senior secretary of the society, received a transfer order. At that time, the 17th Brigade of Huashu People's Commune was divided into four brigades, and he was transferred to the West China Brigade, the westernmost part of the commune, to serve as the brigade branch secretary.
has taken root in West China since then.
It is said that the West China Brigade is too poor. How poor are they?
At that time, the brigade was so poor that it was very poor. The village had more than 600 people, with an average annual income of less than 45 yuan, and he still owed 15,000 yuan in foreign debts, and was suffering from internal and external troubles.
2 villages are scattered all over the place, making it difficult to manage centrally. More than 1,300 fields are scattered and the output is extremely low.
At that time, rural areas generally implemented the joint contract responsibility system , but Wu Renbao believed that solving the agricultural production problem in West China should not be copied from other regions.
He decided to implement the " collective ownership ", because the policy at that time often said that "if it is suitable, it is unified, and if it is suitable, it is divided", the actual situation in West China is that there are many people and few lands, so it should be "unified"!
A few years ago when he arrived in West China, he led everyone to build canals, build power stations, dispatch farming experts to farm, and let all the surplus laborers build village-run enterprises.
He always firmly believed that "no farming is not stable, no work is not rich". He not only brought the villagers to build infrastructure and reclaim fields, but also quietly mobilized villagers in the village who had free time, and they jointly established a hardware factory.
This factory is called the 'switch factory', why is it called the 'switch factory'?
When the visitors came, they closed the factory gate, and all the workers went to the ridges to weed and accumulate fertilizer. The visitors left, and the villagers went to the factory to do it. The production delayed during the day was made by working at night. This hardware factory is like the secret base of Huaxi Village. After ten years of "fighting guerrilla" life, the hardware factory "transformed" from a small workshop into a large factory with a total output value of 2.9635 million yuan and a profit and tax of 1.3503 million yuan. The whole village followed Wu Renbao on the fast lane of getting rich.
Wu Renbao once said: "To be a good village secretary, you must have pioneering spirit and often see your own shortcomings. If you just want to be a stable official, be honest and mediocre, and even ask the masses to peel off their skin, then the cadres were incompetent.”
When other village cadres recited quotations, he led the villagers to control insects in the fields; when other villages were confined to agricultural production and were fruitless, the villagers of Huaxi Village lived in a brand new large tiled house in 1972.
Why can West China develop?
Director of Jiangsu Well-off and Modernization Research Center Feng Zhi once said: "West China has been striving for ten years, accumulation for ten years, and development for ten years. The gap between West China and surrounding villages widened. "
"The people who are blessed will enjoy first, and the officials who are in trouble will be the first to be responsible" is deeply rooted in Wu Renbao's actions, and has brought a happy life to the villagers on the land of West China.
02. He is good at making the right decisions
In addition to new measures such as production innovation and human resource utilization, Wu Renbao also attaches great importance to institutional innovation. Based on the actual situation of West China, he formulated a management and distribution system with West China characteristics. "People-oriented, the system manages people." , the policy of people-management system has obtained the most reasonable and maximized application practice in village affairs management. In terms of staff management, he implemented the "first high salary, end-of-term elimination system, and illegal dismissal system"; in terms of distribution mechanism, he implemented the "less distribution, more accumulation; less cash, more investment"; in terms of overall control, he firmly believed that "Huaxi Village does not engage in big pot meals, nor does it engage in single meals", and achieved "once the state, pay full payment in accordance with the law, and keep full accumulation; on the farmers, ensure prosperity. "
Wu Renbao has always been on the front line of Huaxi Village construction. "If you ask others to do it, his family will do it first; if no one is willing to do it, he will take the lead in doing it first."
At the forefront of Huaxi Village information collection, economic construction, and development strategies, it has created his sensitive sense of business and decisiveness to make correct decisions.
992, Wu Renbao keenly realized the focus of economic development and the future development direction of the industry.
So he convened a meeting of village cadres at two o'clock in the morning and formulated a series of production, purchasing, and enterprise construction strategies. The decision at this meeting made Huaxi Village tight Keeping up with the pace of development of the times, and this meeting was also rumored to be a talk:
"A meeting in the early morning, earning 100 million."
Wu Renbao decided to establish Xi Hua Group on the basis of village-run enterprises. While implementing collective economy, he adopted the form of villagers' shareholding.
Since then, Huaxi Village has begun to implement private individual economy, Sino-foreign joint ventures and mixed economy, forming a new economic pattern with collective economy as the main body and the common development of multiple economic components.
In early 1993, farmers in Huaxi Village ordered 250 Jetta cars at a time, and each household lived a stable life;
995, Huaxi Village established two Huaxi Village branches in Heilongjiang and Ningxia areas, reclaiming wasteland, improving farmland, and establishing enterprises, helping tens of thousands of local villagers in total;
999, " West China Shares " was successfully listed, becoming the first listed stock in rural China;
In 2001, 20 villages around Huaxi Village with weak economic foundations and lagging economic development joined Huaxi Village in order to achieve common development.
It can be seen that Wu Renbao's ability to find out the opportunity is his decades of rooting in the infrastructure construction of West China, specializing in the specific situation of West China, and is committed to West China. The work of unique development is closely related.
03. Huaxi Village is no longer the same as the Shengjing of the past
. Looking closely at every decision of Wu Renbao, all revealing his details of "not relaxing" and "unshake" in the overall situation.
"Village helps the village, households help households, and ultimately achieve national prosperity" development theory After his decades of office, he has been practicing firmly.
In 2013, Wu Renbao died of ineffective rescue of lung cancer at the age of 85.
After his death, the work in Huaxi Village was jointly managed by Wu Renbao's four sons, and his position was held by his son Wu Xieen.After Wu Xieen took office, he wanted his son to inherit his father's business and do a big deal, but who knew that the reality was not as simple as he thought.
The old branch secretary was ahead of his mind when he was alive, and he jumped out of a single agricultural production and operation model, established large enterprises such as textiles, metallurgy, and non-ferrous metals, and vigorously developed aquaculture technology, which gradually formed a very distinctive modern production model that combines agricultural and industrial industries.
This was once a way to get rich for Huaxi Village, but it was a product of the general background of the times. When Wu Xieen took office, the textile, metallurgy and other industries in Huaxi Village had already gone downhill, which was also a necessary path for the development of the times.
At that time, the 210 companies under Huaxi Village had a total assets of about 55 billion yuan, but their liabilities were as high as 38 billion yuan.
Many traditional industries are difficult to make rapid progress under the impact of emerging industries. The staff’s lack of understanding of emerging industries has also become an important condition for restricting the development of enterprises.
Huaxi Village’s choice at the forefront of the wave of the times is particularly important. If you don’t pay attention, it will be difficult to embark on a distinctive path suitable for the development of the new era.
Remember Yang Yongchang, chairman of Huaxi Steel Co., Ltd., recalled: "The key is the infection and influence of the old secretary's personality charm. After working in this environment, you will slowly change. From the original pursuit of family wealth to the desire to reflect the personal life value."
Huaxi Village has more than 40 years of glorious years, just like relying on the guidance of the old branch secretary Wu Renbao, who "always make the right decision", Wu Xieen still failed to take on this burden from his father.
In today's rapidly developing market economy, it is difficult to revitalize the game of Huaxi Village by relying on the "family world" and "family inheritance" system. Today, Huaxi Village urgently needs talent introduction and industrial transformation and upgrading, so as to greatly improve the core competitiveness of the enterprise and the modern enterprise management system that adapts to the market.
Only a real market economy is the way to survive, not a family-enclosed interest group.
But it is gratifying that the leaders of Huaxi Village have noticed this problem. In the continuous financing, expansion and acquisition operations, the total debt has not snowballed, but has maintained a relatively balanced state, which also gives West China the opportunity and space for reform and development.
Whether
can seize this space and take the development path of the new era depends on the ability and decision-making of this generation of West China leaders!
