Lubu Yellow board paper mill was built in April 1958, the factory site is in the west of Lubu Bridge, invested by the local government, is a handicraft industry collective enterprise. The staff mainly from the Lubu table and chair club and paper tendon lime club, also recruited some new workers, a total of more than 40 people. Paper tendon lime club produces lime, and at the same time uses the rich forest resources to produce paper tendon, supporting to supply the market, which is very popular, and its production and sales conditions are relatively good. After the personnel transfer to the yellow board paper mill, the original production of paper tendon lime is still maintained. Paper factory established, successively to xiao feng learning with mulberry bark production pulp, to Henan paper production, I also to Ningbo warlen, Hangzhou huafeng, Jiaxing people feng visit large papermaking enterprises, warlen factory director had 2 reception and told me, warlen production capacity is very big, is the lack of raw material —— pulp, pulp suggest my factory production, all by their acquisition, production of how much.
We have adopted Mr.Warren's advice. Because this sales is not a problem, pulp raw materials —— straw resources are rich, low cost. I used to work in the supply and marketing system, where the contacts are wide and convenient for raw materials. The key force is focused on the production, built a cooking stove, a pot can boil 500-600 kilograms of straw, each class out of a pot. Another machine was built, but only one 8-horsepower diesel engine was underpowered. Later, he got a large abandoned mill from the Lubao Dingyang Oil Factory and bought a cow for 2,400 yuan, which solved the power problem by pulling the mill. In this way, the sales of —— pulp production from raw materials soon stepped into the normal, the enthusiasm of the staff was also very high, and the economic benefits were obvious. In that year, the profit was more than 50,000 yuan, which was 50% of the investment, that is, half of the investment was recovered in more than half a year. At the end of 1958, the net assets exceeded 200,000 yuan.
In 1959, implement the "shorten the front, ensure the key" policy, our factory production and sales continue to develop. On May 1st, Minister Guo of the Department of Industry and Communications of the County Party Committee visited our factory and announced a decision: Lubu Yellow Board Paper Factory and Yuyao Paper Mill were merged, and the personnel and funds were used uniformly. I was appointed as the director of Yuyao Paper Mill after the merger, and the director Yu Weitang was transferred to another assigned work. I was not mentally prepared for this sudden decision, and at that time, all the organizational decisions should be unconditionally obeyed. On the same day, I came to Yuyao with Minister Guo and went to work in the factory the next day. Soon the Ministry of Industry and Communications appointed Comrade Zheng Shuilin as the secretary of the factory branch.
After arriving at the factory, I spent a week to understand and get familiar with the situation, and to find out the favorable conditions and difficulties after the merger of the two factories. In 1958, Yao paper opened 7 satellite factories, the stall spread is very large, affecting the main business, but also make the capital turnover difficult. Implement the "guarantee key points" adjustment policy, stopped the satellite plants. Considering the long cycle cycle of paper-making equipment, in order to make Yao Paper adjust the neutral heel and solve the capital turnover, we decided to choose the products after the merger to produce pulp first and create conditions for the production mechanism of paper. After clarifying the working ideas, we focus on three aspects of work: one is to hold the staff and workers' meeting, stabilize the hearts of the workers after the merger of the two factories, mobilize the workers to unite as one, cheer up the spirit, "the hard work for 3 months, to achieve a loss into a profit". And through the blackboard newspaper publicity, form the atmosphere; two is to increase production and economy, change
