Wu's entrepreneurial story

He has rich life experience, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, worked as a teacher, worked as a production captain, a sideline battalion chief and so on. 1978, he was transferred to Yong Lian village as party branch secretary. At that time, Yong Lian Village was reclaimed from the Yangtze River in the spring of 1970, and it was the smallest and poorest village in southern Jiangsu. On August 1 day, 1978, Comrade Wu came to see you on his first day of work. What are you doing? It turned out that people caught three thieves, all from Yong Lian, and asked him to go through the "handover" procedure. By the end of this year, the annual distribution level of villagers in Yong Lian was only 68 yuan, but the collective debt was as high as 60,000 yuan. Comrade Wu came to be the leader of the seventh working group and the secretary of the fifth branch. When he arrived in Yong Lian, he saw the scene of poverty, and he felt a sadness in his heart: people's lives can't be so hard! He warned and asked himself again and again in his mind: we must lead the masses to uproot the poor and live a decent new life through our own efforts. Through visits and investigations, Wu realized that the low-lying land was not as good as digging the low-lying land into a pond for breeding, and planting the high ground with grain, so that he could grow grain and raise fish. Thus, at the end of 1978, Wu mobilized more than 250 male and female laborers and launched the first campaign to get rid of poverty and become rich. It was nine winters, and it was freezing. Every day, before dawn, they lead the masses to the construction site. They dig inch by inch with their hands, feet, legs and shoulders, and carry them basket by basket. Their hands were worn out, wrapped in cloth and dug. The shoulder is swollen, wear two layers of clothes before choosing; The feet were frozen and the pot was dried ... After more than 50 days and nights of fighting, more than 50,000 pieces of soil were picked out, and more than 90 acres of fish ponds were finally dug out. The hard work has paid off handsomely. 1979 At the end of the year, every household in Yong Lian was given fish and rations, and the whole village had a happy New Year for the first time.

Secondly, by digging fish ponds, Wu touched the people with his sincere feelings and tenacious spirit of leading the people to get rich, and also let everyone see the hope of a prosperous life. He found skilled craftsmen in the village and started seven or eight small enterprises, such as cement prefabrication factory, terrazzo factory and furniture factory. By the end of 1983, the village collective had accumulated more than 200,000 yuan, and Yong Lian Village took off its backward hat in one fell swoop. At the beginning of 1984, some farmers who got rich first in southern Jiangsu built buildings, which was the simple idea of producing steel for the farmers who built buildings. Wu Xin ignited the idea of running a steel mill. At that time, steel was a big industry of the country, and Mudleg also wanted to run a steel factory. Isn't it a toad who wants to eat swan meat? However, Comrade Wu insisted on eating swan meat. After several months of intense and busy work, Yong Lian Rolling Mill has finally begun to take shape, but the practical difficulties far exceed expectations. In order to get money from the bank, Wu invited a person in charge of the bank to visit the factory. After eating and drinking, the "God of Wealth" ran to the factory and walked around, leaving only one sentence: If you want to make money from this thing, you must turn steel into rolled gold. The road to loan was blocked in this way. In order to apply for the business license of the rolling mill, Wu made an application report to the competent department. A responsible comrade thinks that Yong Lian has no funds, raw materials and talents, and the traffic is very remote. In his report, he humorously approved eight words: cooking without rice is not approved. In order to acquire steel rolling technology, Wu sent more than 65,438+00 people to steel rolling mills to learn technology. It was supposed to be good, but when people arrived, they closed the gate and said, "You can only stand outside the gate and watch. It is not safe to go in. " The ensuing blows almost drove Wu into a desperate situation. He felt powerless to return to heaven. For an instant, he thought of giving up and escaping. But he deeply understands that as a grass-roots cadre of the Party, how can he give up when he dies, give up halfway, and live up to the high expectations of fellow villagers? How can he forget the clanking oath of leading the masses to get rich? Wu cleared his mind, straightened up again, and continued to sweat profusely for the cause of establishing a steel mill: his cooperation with the town supply and marketing cooperative not only attracted 1.5 million yuan, but also got a business license; He invited Shanghai "Sunday Engineer" to solve technical problems. His marriage with East China Shipyard fully guaranteed the raw materials needed for production ... Wu started the magnificent development process of the village with his persistence and wisdom.

Third, while the cadres are eager to develop, greater difficulties and crises are on Wu's shoulders like mountains. During 1997, the Asian financial crisis broke out. As a pure steel rolling enterprise, the production and operation of Yonggang seems to have also encountered a 12 storm. Raw materials for steel rolling are in urgent need, and the billet purchased every year is less than 50% of the production capacity; Yonggang's development has stagnated, and its sales revenue has been hovering around 2 billion for four consecutive years. If we can't solve the problem of raw materials in time, Yonggang will only die. However, if we start a steelmaking project and produce billets ourselves, the investment of more than 654.38+0 billion will be unbearable for Yonggang, which has developed through self-accumulation. Besides, around 2002, all parts of the country were engaged in steelmaking, and there was excess capacity, so it was very risky to start a steelmaking project. Is it really "must die, must die"? Wu questioned himself again and again in his mind. This ancient old man, who should be old enough to take care of his grandson and provide for the aged, is still worried and working hard for the development of Yong Lian. This * * * producer, who has experienced numerous storms and numerous tests of life and death, is once again faced with a major choice in life. Finally, comrades made a decision: steelmaking! At that time, Wu ate less food, his face was haggard, his body was thinner and his hair was whiter. He has a heavy burden in his heart: if this project is not well developed, won't all his hardships for so many years be in vain? Haven't the people of Yong Lian, whose lives have just improved, suddenly lost hope again? It is under this great pressure and complicated situation that Comrade Wu once again started a risky entrepreneurial journey: in the spring when SARS struck, he started his own work without a day's delay. He moved every builder with indomitable enthusiasm and wrote a wonderful new chapter in his life ... The million-ton steelmaking project of Yonggang was finally completed and put into operation in just one year, creating a "miracle" in the construction of steel projects of the same scale, which not only ended the history of "finding rice to cook" in Yonggang, but also enabled the company to achieve a leap from single rolling to joint steel enterprises.

Fourth, while vigorously developing the economy, Comrade Wu always keeps in mind the Party's purpose, actively does practical things and good deeds for the masses, and devotes himself to the Party's cause of "enriching the people and benefiting the people". In the mid-1980s, many villagers in Yong Lian suffered from liver diseases due to low terrain and poor water quality. Wu decided to allocate hundreds of thousands of yuan from the industrial economy to dig deep wells, so that the whole village could use tap water. At that time, the collective economy of Yong Lian Village accumulated very little, and some comrades were worried that giving so much money would affect economic development. Comrade Wu said with deep affection, "A thousand major events are not as important as the health of an ordinary person." He sincerely works for the welfare of the masses and does practical things: since the merger with the village, Wu has spent more than 300 million yuan to build high-standard village infrastructure such as Yonggang Avenue, schools and hospitals, and distributed agricultural subsidies. In order to encourage villagers to get rich, Wu set up an agricultural development fund in the village. In 2000, according to the reward regulations, he gave Dai Xiangping, a big mushroom grower, a grand prize of 349,000 yuan at one time. In order to increase villagers' income and free them from the busy agricultural production, Wu transferred more than 3,700 mu of cultivated land in the village to the village collective, and gave each villager a land subsidy of 1.200 yuan every year. In order to promote the development of spiritual civilization in the village, he spends more than 5.3 million yuan every year to set up the "Yong Lian Village Civilized Family Award" ... Everything is a big event, and every pile is also a big fact.

Dare to break, dare to stand and dare to create a great cause

1in August, 978, Wu served as the leader of the seventh working group, which ignited the hope of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich in the smallest and poorest village in the county. He broke free from the shackles of traditional thinking, dared to dare to do it, and vowed to dig out the "poor roots." At the end of the year, he broke the imprisonment of "taking grain as the key link" and led the masses to dig 50 thousand square meters in the frozen land and 50 acres of low-lying land to raise fish. /kloc-at the end of 0/979, Yong Lian people got the year-end distribution for the first time. "No agriculture is unstable, no work is not rich". Wu realized that in order to truly get rid of poverty and become rich, we must take the development path of "promoting agriculture through industry". He called carpenters, painters and masons, and set up seven or eight small processing factories, such as furniture factory, cement prefabricated products factory and pillowcase factory, which gradually changed the poverty and backwardness of Yong Lian. With a certain economic accumulation of village collectives, Wu began to implement greater development ambitions. 1in the spring of 984, he raised 300,000 yuan and led a group of "mud legs" to start a "big industry" of steel. Due to the poor economic foundation and insufficient conditions, Yong Lian Rolling Mill was not optimistic at the beginning of its establishment-the person in charge of the metallurgical department replied: there is no rice to cook, so it will not be approved; If the liquidity is insufficient and you want to borrow money, the person in charge of the bank said: unless you roll gold, you will have money to earn; Sending people to other steel mills to learn technology has also been rejected by others. Wu was undaunted. Facing the difficulties, he solved them one by one. The rolling mill was completed and put into operation in only four months. 1985, the total industrial output value of the village exceeded100000 yuan, and Yong Lian became a strong economic village in the county. At the end of 1993, "Jiangsu yonggang group co., ltd" with Yong Lian rolling mill as the core was established, and yonggang became an important production base of construction steel in China's metallurgical industry. However, in 2002, Yonggang encountered a major crisis-billet shortage and rising prices, facing a dilemma: steelmaking may be "aborted" because of huge market risks; If you don't make steel, you will die, because the raw materials are "without rice." At the critical moment, Wu Zaixian showed his true colors, and raised more than RMB 10 billion in one year to build a million-ton steel-making project including dozens of large and small projects, which enabled Yonggang to realize the leap from single steel rolling to joint steel enterprises. Today, Yonggang has become one of the top 500 enterprises in China, with 1 10,000 employees, total assets of 654.38+0 billion yuan and annual sales income of 654.38+0.62 billion yuan. A modern steel city rises in the rural areas of southern Jiangsu.

Love is for the benefit of the people.

Wu has always reassured the masses and let the villagers live a better life, which is his lifelong pursuit with no regrets. In the mid-1980s, some villagers suffered from liver diseases due to poor water quality. Wu decided to allocate 300,000 yuan to drill a deep well. At that time, Yong Lian's economy had just started, and some comrades were worried that giving so much money would affect its economic development. Wu said with deep affection: "A thousand major events are not as important as people's health!" Wu participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and had a narrow escape. He often said: I am bold and fearless, and I am afraid that ordinary people will suffer.

At the end of 200 1, Wu visited the villagers' homes and saw that the bungalows of the old villagers in Yongxin Village were leaking everywhere. The wife, who has been ill for many years, is tired and curled up in a damp and dark corner, feeling a pang: Why does rich Yong Lian still have such a poor family? The life of the villagers is terrible. Can our work be considered good? He ordered village cadres to contribute money to rebuild new houses for poor households like Lao Gan and let them move to new houses for the Spring Festival. Not only does he care about the people in the village, but Wu also shows deep feelings for the people around him. After becoming rich, Wu allocated funds to help two poor villages around him, build roads and factories for them, and pay the salaries of village cadres. In order to lead the surrounding people onto the road of * * * prosperity, in 2005 and 2006, under his auspices, villagers' groups of five surrounding villages were merged into Yong Lian in whole or in part, and nearly 10,000 people enjoyed the fruits of Yong Lian's economic development. After the merger of 1995 village, the village has invested more than 400 million yuan to build a large number of high-standard infrastructure such as Yong Lian Hospital, Yonggang Avenue, Yong Lian School and Farmers' Market. The newly merged villagers have enjoyed the same treatment as the old villagers. Each villager receives an average of more than 3,700 yuan of land transfer funds, civilized family rewards, old-age living allowances and other benefits every year, and can also enjoy medical expenses reimbursement and other benefits. The villagers live a good life, but Wu is not satisfied. Now, he regards the construction of new countryside as another starting point to do practical things and do good deeds for the masses, and plans to invest 654.38+0.5 billion yuan in new rural construction projects such as "Gangcun Homestead" to make all villagers in Yong Lian live a more comfortable and beautiful community life in recent years. Some people put forward that "it is better to spend so much money on building a new countryside than to give it to everyone." Wu said meaningfully: "Giving money to everyone is a temporary happiness, but investing in new rural construction is a long-term happiness!"

Self-discipline and selfless dedication

Wu, who has been a party member for more than 40 years, is like a spring silkworm, selfless dedication, weaving a warm life for others. In order to establish a long-term security mechanism for the needy people, lonely old people and poor students who suffered from natural disasters, major diseases and accidental injuries, in June last year 165438+ 10/8, at the initiative of Wu, the village formally established the Huimin Foundation, and Wu personally donated 200,000 yuan to inject the start-up capital. Also in June 5438+065438+ 10, Zhangjiagang City held a charity fund-raising activity of "Harmonious Port City, Caring for the World", and Wu donated another 200,000 yuan of personal savings. For an expensive boss, a few hundred thousand yuan may be nothing, but what Wu donated is by no means a conspicuous "glory", but a sincere dedication and a sincere love. Such true feelings and love make many people and families feel warm. The summer before last, Wang Liping, the daughter of Chen Xiufang from Yong Lian Village, was admitted to Tsinghua University. Due to the financial difficulties of her family, she was 6.5438+0 million yuan short when she reported for duty. It was Wu who helped her family solve the urgent need. Chen Yuejun of Group 33 was admitted to Fudan University, and it was Wu's generosity that made him happy. Even Xiao Wu, a girl from Nanjing, benefited from the donation of Grandpa Wu, who she had never met before, before she finished her middle school studies ... Wu not only dedicated her love, but also her children's youth and career. 1985, Yong Lian rolling mill was established shortly. That's not true. General Wu's eldest son holds a leading position in the very popular supply and marketing department, and "pulls" the factory to operate and expand the market; In 2005, the scale of village-run enterprises expanded dramatically. In order to introduce high-end management talents, Wu "dragged" his second son, who had been a deputy division-level cadre, back from Hangzhou and made him a "village official" ... Wu made great contributions and created great wealth for the collective and the masses, but he was strict with himself and never took advantage of the collective: 1988. His sister's two children were expelled from the factory, and his sister found him, but he asked her to follow the factory regulations; He always asks the waiter to put down the bill when he goes to the company hotel to process dishes. He handed over the gifts and cash gifts sent by the business unit to the company in time. ...
