Original title: Let the new generation of private entrepreneurs flourish
The last bell rang in 1989, and reform and opening up entered the dazzling 1990s. On the roadside of the Yellow River and on the Nanjing Road, a group of characters and the Eight Immortals crossed the “sea”, each showing their magical powers, and interpreting passionate stories… This is a picture of the times depicted in the TV series “Flowers”.
Now, more than 30 years later, it is the end of the year and the beginning of the new year. Many people are still watching the drama “Flowers” and still have unfinished business. On the 9th, “Flowers” ushered in its finale, but the discussions left by characters such as “Mr. Fan”, “Little Ningbo” and “Wei Hongqing” are still continuing.
They play supporting roles in “Flowers”, but they bravely play the “leading roles” in the market – they are private entrepreneurs.
Through “Flowers”, we can get a glimpse of the entrepreneurial history of a generation of private entrepreneurs who dared to venture and fight. For example, the story of “Mr. Fan” and “Sanyang Brand”: a Hangzhou businessman went to Shanghai alone with his self-developed “fire mercerized cotton” T-shirt, and wanted to become a “Shanghai famous brand”, and finally got his wish. . According to the “Zhejiang Daily” report, this story is very similar to the entrepreneurial history of “Youngor”; “Mr. Fan” reflects the hard-working and keeping pace with the times of thousands of Zhejiang businessmen.
The writer of stories is always a human being. Since the reform and opening up, my country’s market economy has continued to develop and improve, and the vast number of private entrepreneurs have contributed indispensably. From coastal Zhejiang and Guangdong merchants to inland Chongqing and Hunan merchants, private entrepreneurs from all over the country have adapted to local conditions, innovated and started businesses, created rich material achievements for economic and social development, and also accumulated valuable spiritual wealth. Private entrepreneurs who rely on wisdom and hard work to achieve success and give back to society are undoubtedly worthy of respect and praise. Over the past decades, generations of private entrepreneurs have focused on R&D and brand building, forging ahead amidst twists and turns, and succeeding in their endeavors. They have written numerous business legends that have kept pace with the times, and have made great contributions to national development.
The flowers are moving, embellish the social scene, and bear numerous fruits. In the past year of 2023, Chongqing’s private economy achieved an added value of 1,316.284 billion yuan in the first three quarters, accounting for 59.2% of GDP. Promote employment, revitalize rural areas, and actively integrate into national strategies such as the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle… The traces of the struggle of private entrepreneurs can also be clearly seen in the land of Bayu.
To allow the new generation of private entrepreneurs to flourish, we must provide them with more fertile soil. Since last year, a package of policies to promote the development of the private economy has been implemented one after another; not long ago, the Central Economic Work Conference once again emphasized that “to promote the development and growth of private enterprises, a number of measures will be implemented in terms of market access, factor acquisition, fair law enforcement, and rights protection.” . With the new year and new atmosphere, the stage for private entrepreneurs to show off their skills is extremely broad, and it is urgent to continue optimizing the business environment.
“Only when you see the future can you have a future.” Returning from art to reality, the future we want to see is one that always adheres to the “two unwavering principles” and works together to achieve high-quality development. “Flowers” has come to an end, and the flowers are blooming just in time. We hope that private entrepreneurs will continue to forge ahead and strive to reach a broader and prosperous realm! (Wang Ruilin)
