Chapter 78: Petition by State-Owned Winery Employees

On the weekend, Qian Yizhen took the four children to the children's playground. When they arrived at Grandpa Kuang's house, they saw many people coming. Qian Yizhen thought something happened at Grandma Huang and Grandpa Kuang's house. So he took the four children into Grandpa Kuang's house to see what was going on and whether they needed help.

In the living room, Grandpa Kuang was explaining to everyone: "I am too old now, I will not go, you guys go and petition."

It turned out that the state-owned winery where Grandpa Kuang worked before he retired had been poorly managed in recent years and had been making losses. The workers had not received any wages for almost a year.

The workers discussed going to the district government to petition and ask the government to help them solve their food problem. Grandpa Kuang was the deputy technical director of the state-owned winery before he retired. He was highly respected in the factory, so they wanted to invite him to go with them to petition and let Grandpa Kuang represent them in negotiating with the district government leaders.

Grandpa Kuang evaded the question by saying, "I have been retired for more than 20 years and I know nothing about the winery. I can't do this."

"Grandpa Kuang, our winery is your family's inheritance. Can you bear to let it go bankrupt? You have to save it." The workers prayed in unison.

Qian Yizheng finally understood that the state-owned winery was poorly managed and facing bankruptcy. The workers could not be paid, but they could not bear to leave the winery, so they hoped that Grandpa Kuang could save the winery.

Qian Yizhen handed the four cubs to Aunt Jiang Yuhan who lived in the second courtyard. Then he returned to the first courtyard and discussed with the workers.

At present, a wave of state-owned enterprise restructuring has emerged across the country. Many small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in provincial capitals have become half-dead under the impact of individual private enterprises.

"Has your state-owned winery been restructured?" Qian Yizheng asked.

"It's changed, but not completely. It's just a change of name. It's worse than when we didn't change it."

Qian Yizhen ran to Grandpa Kuang's living room, looked through the phone book, and called the district government office, hoping that they would send someone over as soon as possible to take the workers away. After all, Grandpa Kuang was an 84-year-old man and could not stand the long-term noise.

After the workers dispersed, Qian Yizhen quickly persuaded Grandpa Kuang to lie down on the bed and rest. Grandma Huang also felt a little tired, so they went into the house to rest. The four kids had a lot of fun playing with Grandma Jiang Yuhan, and they no longer clamored to go to the children's playground.

Professor Jiang Yuhan said: "Now is a critical period for the reform of state-owned enterprises. In order to develop the economy and activate private and private enterprises, the state focuses on large enterprises and lets go of small ones. Except for large state-owned enterprises that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, most small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises are facing reform. They are either transformed into joint-stock enterprises or bought out and become private enterprises."

Professor Jiang Yuhan continued, "Most of the students who graduated from our Textile University were assigned to state-owned textile factories. Some poorly managed textile factories also faced the same problem of not being able to pay wages, and the cadres and workers were panicking. Some who could not hold on resigned to find their own way to make a living, while most people took a wait-and-see attitude, staying in the factory with nothing to do, or making trouble, or petitioning the government to ask for food. Workers' petitions have become an increasingly thorny problem for local governments."

"Professor Jiang, Aunt Jiang, what courses did you teach at the Textile University before you retired?"

“Teaching pattern design courses, textile market research courses.”

"Professor Jiang, what do you think about the current textile market?"

"It's not that I have a profound opinion. It's just that I have many students from all over the country and they give me a lot of feedback, so I know more than you do." Professor Jiang Yuhan talked while stroking Junhua's hair.

"I like listening to Grandma Jiang talk. It's so pleasant to listen to her talk." Junhua interrupted.

"Professor Jiang, I want to invest in building a new textile factory. Do you think it's possible?" "You want to build a textile factory? What are your strengths? It requires huge investments." Professor Jiang Yuhan adjusted his sitting position and looked at Qian Yizheng with a questioning look.

Qian Yizhen was not in a hurry and told Professor Jiang Yuhan about her plan to invest in the textile factory. She especially emphasized that the land occupation problem had been solved, and her uncle Chen Haoyu was optimistic about the project and had formally recommended it to relatives in Hong Kong. Currently, she was waiting for the on-site inspection of her cousins ​​in Hong Kong. If the conditions were ripe, a huge investment would not be a problem.

"Professor Jiang Yuhan, are you interested in joining our team and jointly building a modern textile factory with international standards? Yizhen sincerely invites you to join." Qian Yizhen extended a sincere invitation to Professor Jiang Yuhan.

Professor Jiang Yuhan stood up and kept spinning in circles. The four children held hands, held Grandma Jiang's hand, held their mother's hand, and the small circle became a big circle. While spinning in circles, they sang the nursery rhyme "Songs and Smiles". Please take my song back to your home, please leave your smile behind...

Professor Jiang Yuhan solemnly accepted Qian Yizhen's invitation.
