Lanvi Incident

Those people and things in Lanwei. Lanwei was established in the early 1970s as an enterprise integrating smelting, chemical industry and chemical fiber. It was put into trial production in the late 1970s, but the products were unsaleable in the early 1980s. At the same time, the enterprise was reformed and the factory director responsibility system was implemented, with Tian Xiuping serving as the factory director. Putting the main task on product sales, coupled with changes in the market, the backlog of products gradually became marketable. Tian Xiuping tasted the sweetness and invested a lot of money in offices in major cities. To be fair, at the beginning of the establishment, each sales point did a certain amount of work to open up sales for the product. Gradually each point became a platform for some people to get rich. Naturally, the people in charge assigned to various sites by Tian Xiuping were Tian's cronies. After the people in charge at the sites got rich quickly, they left the factory one after another. (There was also a joke that Tian Xiuping was going to file a lawsuit with Wang Zuojun of Shanghai Point). By the time Tian Xiuping left office, each office had occupied nearly 100 million yuan in funds. During this period, Tian was keen on building projects everywhere externally, excluding dissidents internally, and acting dictatorially. Lanwei became a Tian family mom-and-pop shop (his wife was in charge of personnel), and the community where Tian lived was nicknamed the Tian Family Courtyard. From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, the sales of PVA were always promising. At one stage, there was even a situation where purchasers were stationed in guesthouses waiting for products. At that time, Lanwei's products were really hard to find! But at this time, Tian Xiuping ordered Zhihun to invest a large amount of money in real estate in Hainan. With the collapse of Hainan's real estate bubble, the invested funds were wasted. He then raised tortoises in Hainan and built activated carbon, etc., all of which were lost. At the same time, Tian Xiuping tried every means to invest nearly 40 million to introduce so-called second-hand polyester equipment from abroad, which was actually a pile of foreign garbage. This was originally a typical corruption case, but it was inextricably linked to the relevant departments of the provincial government. Although someone reported it, like many corruption cases in China, it went unsolved. Investments such as green packaging machines, acetic acid, and acetylene bottling in Yizheng have all become jokes. Tian Xiuping landed safely and retired in full glory despite the fact that the factory was on the verge of shutting down frequently and making it unsustainable! (Of course, the only highlight of Tian’s tenure was the high-model projects he built that are still running today). In the early days when Wang Ning took over, the kind-hearted workers still had great expectations. When his father passed away, Wang Ning gave more than 20,000 yuan in filial gifts from the slaves of Lanwei Factory to the union as a subsidy for employees in need. This move won praise from the employees for a while, but the good times did not last long. During the middle and later stages of Wang Ning's leadership, the company's management was chaotic, and the raw material procurement process was full of shady affairs. The second brother played a disgraceful role through the power of his elder brother. Wang Ning is a very loyal person, and he responds to all kinds of friends' requests for profit from Lanwei, such as purchasing raw materials, frequently changing cars, equipping all departments with computer toys, high-model so-called technical transformation projects, etc. There are people who make money from Lanvi. Wang Ning knew that there was a lot of discussion in the factory. In order to win over the middle and high-level cadres, the company went against the grain and arranged housing for the middle and high-level cadres in the city when the company suffered a serious loss of more than 600 million yuan and owed employees tens of millions of yuan in three-month wages. Wang Ning's curtain call came. Li Kaibin came again, and the kind-hearted workers had hope again, but the wage reform carried out behind closed doors made the workers with deep grievances intolerable, and finally became the trigger for the workers to vent their grievances. Although this incident did not achieve the original goals of the workers, such as increasing the amount of wages, eradicating corruption, etc., the significance of this incident is that the workers finally awakened and they understood that their rights were never a gift from the superiors, but an insistence. The result of the struggle. Long live the awakening of the working class! Let those who are superior and self-righteous tremble!
