The cotton textile industry once accounted for 70% of Zhengzhou’s fiscal revenue. Where are the national cotton factories now?

Mr. Wang, a technician in the finishing workshop of the No. 5 National Cotton Plant, is 57 years old this year. He likes to read maps. When he is fine, he opens Baidu Maps and Google Maps to see the cotton mills. When my daughter went to Shanghai to attend university in 2006, the outline of the fifth factory could be seen on the map. Now, there is no more.　　 The six Zhengzhou National Cotton Mills established in the planned economy era have finally gone into history. The cotton textile industry once accounted for 70% of Zhengzhou’s fiscal revenue. Now where are the national cotton factories as the most important representative of the cotton textile industry that once accounted for 70% of Zhengzhou’s fiscal revenue. Today, where are these national cotton factories? 　　 [ At the beginning of the establishment of the factory] 　　 There was a saying at that time, 'When the machine rang, the gold ten thousand liang' 　　 from 1953 to 1958.　　 On 10,000 mu of wasteland in the western suburbs of Zhengzhou, the state invested 176 million yuan to build five large state-owned cotton textile factories at the rate of one factory a year. The No.1, No.3, No.4, No.5 and No.6 plants of National Cotton, like the five sisters, are lined up on the north side of Mianfang Road.　　 On October 26, the continuous autumn rain continued to release its power. In the building belonging to the Sixth National Cotton Factory, Meng Yongen, a former employee of the Production Technology Department of the Sixth National Cotton Factory, brought the Henan Business Daily reporters into the past.　　 Benefiting from the unified purchase and sales policy of the planned economy, the five national cotton mills on the cotton spinning road need not worry about the sales of their products at all. 'At that time, there was a saying,'When the machine rang, gold ten thousand liang'. As long as the cotton cloth in the factory is produced, it can be sold, and there is no need to worry about sales. Because of this, the benefits of several national cotton factories are very good. 'Meng Yongen said.　　 [Golden Decade] 　　 Small hotels around the factory　　 merchants who lived to buy cloth　　 time back to the 1980s, the beginning of reform and opening up. With the rapid increase in demand for light industrial products in the entire society, products such as cloth are very scarce.　　 Until now, Lao Sun, a veteran employee of the Third National Cotton Factory, still remembers the scene of 'a piece of cloth is hard to find'. 'At that time, the cotton spinning road was full of trucks waiting to pull goods from other places, and the cotton spinning road was full of foreigners. The small hotels around the national cotton factory were full of merchants who came to buy cloth from other places. One of our factory was in charge. The director who worked out the distribution plan was surrounded by a group of people every day at the door of his house, waiting to be able to divide the plan.' Lao Sun said.　　 [around 1995] 　　Participate in the exhibition　　A dollar and a meter could not be sold 　　In the era of material shortage in the 1980s, most light industry companies made a lot of money. But the undercurrent has long been surging under the calm lake.　　As cotton spinning mills have been launched in various places, a large number of repeated constructions have spread across the country. In 1990, the cotton textile market was weak in consumption and raw materials were in short supply. Zhengzhou's cotton textile industry had a large-scale or semi-stop production in July and August.　　 Around 1995, Meng Yongen's colleague once brought the best corduroy cloth to Shandong to participate in the trade fair. After attending the conference for three days, no one paid any attention. “At the time, I heard that there were more cloths sold in the venue than cloths bought, so our salespersons brought buyers to look at the goods, but no one came. The products provided by various manufacturers were mostly cotton cloth, real good, etc., and the homogeneity of the products was serious. On the last day of the trade fair, there was really no way. The price was reduced to one yuan per meter, but no one bought it.' Meng Yongen said.　　 [Now] 　　 Where have all the factories gone. 　　 The old 'money tree' can no longer 'make money'.　　 The bankruptcy of the second factory in 1998 marked the beginning of the restructuring of the Zhengzhou National Cotton Factory. Afterwards, Jinyi Group, through its subsidiaries, successively acquired the former Zhengzhou National Cotton No. 2 Factory, No. 1 Factory and No. 6 Factory. In August 2009, Zhengzhou Hongye Textile Co., Ltd. and Zhengzhou No. 1 Textile Co., Ltd. were established in Longhu Town, Xinzheng, southern Zhengzhou. Co., Ltd. two enterprises, and put into production.　　 Henan Shengrun Group acquired the fourth plant of Zhengzhou National Cotton. In September 2010, the new plant in Baisha Town, Zhongmu County, east of Zhengzhou was completed and put into operation. Henan Pingyuan Holding Group acquired the Third Zhengzhou National Cotton Factory and established Zhengzhou Taiyang Textile Co., Ltd., which has settled in Zhengzhou Xushui Textile Industrial Park.　　 Now, in Zhengzhou Xushui Textile Industrial Park, the magnificent factory buildings, advanced international equipment, and comfortable working environment have given the cotton textile industry a modern label.　　 It’s just that the memory of the National Cotton Factory still exists in the memories of one generation or even several generations. When nothing happened, Liu Fengji, the former chief engineer of the Zhengzhou Textile Industry Bureau, would still go to the original factory site to take a look. Faced with the changes of right and wrong, 'I feel that the past history says that if there is none, then there is nothing.'
