Bold decision-how to open the door of three towns in Wuhan

Reasons for recommendation (introduction, work evaluation, social effect, award-winning)

The Third Plenary Session of the Twelfth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made a decision to shift the focus of China's reform from rural areas to cities, and the battlefields that determine the outcome of urban comprehensive economic reform are big cities and large enterprises. The CPC Central Committee put forward the policy of "opening to the outside world and invigorating the country". There has been a heated debate in Wuhan about the opening of the three towns. Some big cities in China are unwilling to open their doors, and they still implement protection policies for the products of backward local enterprises. However, Wang Qun, secretary of Wuhan Municipal Party Committee, and Wu Guanzheng, mayor, have amazing courage and practical strategies in implementing the policies of the CPC Central Committee. Opening up and invigorating is not to bring down one's own enterprises, but to innovate and grow in competition. Reporters went deep into institutions, enterprises and markets, visited cities and experts, and grasped the key to opening the door, forming the theme of "openness and self-control".

The content of communication is to reflect the courage and strategy of decision makers through major themes. The layout of the article is ingenious, covering three towns, sweeping away mandarin, rhetoric, empty talk and big talk, trying to write thoughts, contradictions, conflicts, ups and downs in the language of the masses and personalized language, which is fascinating and avoids seeing things but not people in economic reports. Communication is very eye-catching, and it feels vivid and vivid to read.

After the report was published, the response was strong. Policymakers in major cities went to Wuhan to learn from the experience. For a time, major cities followed suit and opened to the outside world, "providing preferential conditions for foreign investors to invest in China", which effectively promoted the comprehensive economic system reform of major cities across the country and conscientiously implemented the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's decision on urban economic system reform.

The draft won the special prize of national excellent news works.

Bold decision

-How did the gates of the three towns in Wuhan open?

Our reporter Chu Wang.

Three towns in Wuhan-this castle, which has been "defending itself" for more than 30 years, finally opened its doors. The central leadership praised: "This is a bold decision."

Open the city gate, let foreign goods hit your own market, let your own enterprises compete in the market, and see the world through the wind and rain. Making this decision is indeed courageous for Jiangcheng, which has always been a "strategic town".

Wang Qun, the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, is 59 years old and was born during the war. Mayor Wu Guanzheng, 46, majoring in automation. It is these two people and their new team who, with their courage and boldness, successfully implemented the reform plan and decision-making of this city.

In May last year, Wuhan was approved as a pilot project for the comprehensive reform of the economic system in provincial capital cities. In this regard, Wang Qun and Wu Guanzheng have mixed feelings. Happily, "let go of your hands and feet from now on"; The worry is, "where to start next." What they are considering is that they must not live up to the high hopes of the central authorities for Wuhan.

Wuhan's huge three towns are becoming "fortified castles", which makes the goods route blocked and the economic benefits poor. But when it comes to industry, some comrades always talk about it. Among the 44 industrial categories in China, there are 40 in Wu Hanyou; Among the 156 industrial categories, Wuhan accounts for 145. It can be clearly written in the report: 1983, the profits and taxes provided by the city's industrial fixed assets to the state were actually 45% of the national average.

Wu Hanyou is known as "the thoroughfare of nine provinces", but the current situation is "the railway is not enough to eat, and the sea is not enough to eat". People and things can't get in, and it's hard to get out when they come in. Attraction and radiation are shrinking day by day. The nine provinces that were once as close as lips and teeth are now gradually decoupled from Wuhan and looking for partners. People of insight have written many times and shouted loudly: if this continues, the "thoroughfare of nine provinces" will be reduced to "a sky in the east, west, north and south"

"Nine-headed birds in the sky, underground Hubei guy", this kind of mixed saying, has also become the capital that some people show off. In the second national quality appraisal, a double "cotton candy" was pushed to the top of the silver medal list, which swept away Wuhan's nameless sadness in the gold and silver medal list. Therefore, "What kind of shā@①, Hubei guy is still awesome", and the voice of praise is endless. As we all know, how do two heavy "marshmallows" compete with Wuhan? !

Wang Qun and Wu Guanzheng couldn't sit still. Wu Guanzheng thought of his own "think tank" and "think tank".

The Advisory Committee of Wuhan Municipal People's Government is a high-level "think tank", with 32 members and 86 members in 8 professional advisory groups, covering almost all categories of social science and natural science. Many of them are prestigious economic experts. Under it is a think tank network composed of 262 consulting units of seven armies including universities, scientific research institutes, mass organizations and democratic parties. It is this "think tank" that provides a series of scientific basis for the major decisions of the municipal party Committee and the municipal government.

To build Wuhan into a networked, efficient and multifunctional central city, it is the consensus of all schools that we must take the road of opening up. A large number of scientific arguments and analysis provided by the army of "think tanks" gave Wu Guanzheng a certain vision.

In June, Mayor Wu Guanzheng held a press conference and sincerely announced to the domestic and foreign people that people are welcome to do business in Wuhan, regardless of North and South. Provide 240,000 square meters of development, investment and business space for domestic and foreign merchants.

"I am not afraid when the gun rings." Wang Qun, the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, said: "I am afraid before the battle begins."

Indeed, the decision-makers have the courage to open the doors of the three towns, and there is also a question of how to make all walks of life in Qi Xin work together to meet the challenges.

When Guangzhou asked to come to Wuhan to display and sell their warp-spun products, the relevant departments made a statement to the leaders of the municipal party Committee: "Resolutely oppose". The reason is that wuhan textile products are not as good as Guangzhou. Knowing that local products are not competitive, they let foreign products enter the Wuhan market and steal local business. In case their own enterprises are eliminated, thousands of people's wages and bonuses will be gone ... Some cadres try their best to blow to decision makers: "The tradition of protective measures cannot be lost."

Wuhan No.2 Bicycle Factory adopts the method of selecting foreign parts and components in a cross-regional way to improve the competitiveness of its products. Wuhan No.1 Bicycle Accessories Factory distributed leaflets to 10 units in the system, claiming: "We are born from the same root, and we are too eager to speculate with each other." And issued an ultimatum to dismiss all employees related to the second factory and let them go to work in the second factory.

It's true that the water is not urgent and the fish don't jump. The city is full of wind and rain before the city gate is opened.

"Isn't it tempting the wolf into the room to open the door of the three towns?"

"For outsiders, this will always be a stagnant fat water. Ask them if they are eating Wuhan food. Why do their arms turn out? "

"Let foreign businessmen to set up factories and stores in Han, wouldn't it be handing Wuhan over to foreigners? Insult the country, insult the country! " Some people are really emotional. (⑴⑵)

Wang Qun and Wu Guanzheng know very well that in order to make Wuhan soar, we must take the road of opening three towns and "attracting guests" in order to "let the tiger out of the city". Implementing measures to protect backwardness can only make the products of this city fall behind forever. What's more, backward products will not survive today or tomorrow. Wuhan is the Wuhan of Central China and the Wuhan of the whole country. Standing in Beijing to see Wuhan. "Stones from other mountains can attack jade."

"Enterprises compete at home, what if they really collapse?" Someone directly questioned the city leaders.

"I deserve it." Wang Qun and Wu Guanzheng have the same caliber, and their answers are crisp and agile.

So, if the enterprise really collapses and the workers open their mouths, can the municipal party Committee and the municipal government still ignore this meal? Wang Qun has worked for business leaders many times, encouraging them to revitalize in the competition: "It's time to show courage and charge what you see."

The municipal government made a decision to welcome Guangzhou to the Han exhibition and asked for a warm reception; Hire experts from the Federal Republic of Germany as the director of Wuhan Diesel Engine Factory; Support Wuhan No.2 Bicycle Factory to select foreign parts from 277 enterprises in 26 provinces and cities, and upgrade the "Yellow Crane" bicycle from Class B to Class A..

Three towns in Wuhan opened, thousands of merchants gathered, Qian Fan entered the river, and department stores competed for each other. It's really a step forward. By April 30 this year, other provinces and cities had set up more than 460 factories and stores in Korea, and Sino-foreign joint ventures and local sole proprietorships had set up more than 500 factories and stores1/kloc-0. In the past eleven months, an average of 36 factories and shops opened every day. There are more than 53 thousand kinds of daily consumer goods imported from outside the province and exported to various places through Wuhan, accounting for more than 40% of the total turnover in Wuhan; At the same time, more than 10,000 kinds of local light industrial products in Wuhan continuously flow to 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.

Wuhan, which has been tightly bound by invisible ropes for a long time, feels at a loss once it lets go of its hands and feet. The closed castle in the past has become a dazzling world. Some enterprises walk on the dry road like ducks and look around, but they soon find water and springs. The opening of the market has opened the narrow vision of local enterprises in Wuhan, and enterprises have changed from production to production and development. Wuhan watches were once trapped by the influx of foreign watches, and the inventory reached150 thousand. Throughout the factory, from the factory director to the workers, we sincerely unite and go deep into the countryside and southwest of the province, and set up more than 500 sales points. At the same time, according to the needs of the market, we developed new Kun watches and Wudang watches, and regained the market.

In the face of fierce competition, in addition to individual factories being crushed, some factories turned to mergers, and more often they fell and got up on the spot, which improved their adaptability in the competition and embarked on the road of specialization and cooperation's alliance to meet the needs of survival. Since last year, there have been 1565 enterprises in the city's industrial transportation system, and 253 economic consortia and cooperation networks have been established with relevant units in 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.

Wuhan's reform has taken a successful step. The municipal party committee and the municipal government organically combine power and intelligence, rely on intelligence, make scientific decisions, and play the role of "outside brain", "group brain" and "think tank". Aren't their courage and courage very credible and thoughtful?
