Chapter 562 List of Gold Awards
The sound of footsteps sounded in the corridor on the second floor of the Ministry of Light Industry. A middle-aged man in a cool shirt, holding a portfolio in his hand, finally stopped in front of the hanging "Chief Office" , knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in!"

With the voice of the old man inside, the door of the office was gently pushed open.

"Grand Officer Yang, this is the list of this year's winners selected by the National Quality Award Review Committee." The middle-aged man respectfully handed the portfolio to the old man wearing reading glasses.

This old man called Chief Yang is Yang Bo, the head of the Ministry of Light Industry.

"Sit down." Yang Bo signaled the middle-aged man to sit down, and then opened the portfolio.

"According to statistics, this year, the National Quality Award Appraisal Committee awarded 314 kinds of products across the country as gold medals and silver medals. Our Ministry of Light Industry has 112 kinds of products, mainly in wine textiles and small household appliances. Compared with last year , Our Ministry of Light Industry has added 11 more award-winning products, and the results are quite good." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Very good." Yang Bo nodded when he heard the words, opened the file bag, took out the list of winners inside, and then supported his reading glasses with his hands, and began to review them carefully.

"Shanxi Fen Liquor, Bamboo Leaf Green Liquor... I remember that these two kinds of wines were awarded silver prizes last year, but they were finally awarded gold medals this year. From "National Excellent" to "Famous Liquor", Shanxi Distillery is also considered to be a clear name for its own products "Yang Bo said after reading the comments and the two products at the top of the award column.

In the past, in the selection of wines, the wines that won the National Silver Medal were called "National Excellent", while the high-quality wines that won the Gold Medal were called "Famous Wines".

"Shanxi Distillery has developed rapidly in the past two years. Our ministry also provided key support for their enterprise before. This time they deserve the award," said the middle-aged man.

"Xihu brand viscose muslin, Jinlian brand polyester-cotton khaki...Shanghai No. [-] Cotton Textile Factory is very good, and the two products submitted this time have won gold awards." Yang Bo's tone was somewhat approving, and he continued: "For For such enterprises, our Ministry still needs to continue to increase support. Our light industrial textiles have always been the top priority of the quality of people's livelihood, and they are also the main force of the country's foreign exchange earnings. Therefore, for such enterprises with good reputation and potential, in In terms of funding policy, special preferential treatment should be given, and the provincial bureau should also conduct regular inspections, and they can report problems and difficulties in their factories by leapfrogging and focus on dealing with them!"

"Understood!" The middle-aged man nodded, took out a pen and a small notebook from his pocket, and recorded it seriously.

The Ministry of Light Industry has always attached great importance to cotton spinning products.

In addition to textiles being related to people's livelihood, another very important point is that in the 80s and 80s, textiles, especially textiles, had always been the country's largest foreign exchange earner from exports. At that time, domestic industrial products were backward in technology and lacked competitiveness in the international market. In the early 80s, the country’s foreign exchange earnings were mainly concentrated in textile products, raw materials, and a few other commodities. It can also be seen from several Canton Fairs in the early 6s that the export volume of textiles and farm household products accounted for the country’s total foreign exports. This is also the main source of the country's foreign exchange.

After the reform and opening up, the country needs a large amount of foreign exchange funds to introduce foreign advanced technology and equipment. In order to obtain a large amount of foreign exchange, the country will also focus on supporting the domestic light industry and textile industry. On the side of the Ministry of Light Industry, cotton spinning enterprises are also It is a unit that is mainly supported by Li.

"Friendship brand 729 table tennis reverse rubber racket... Red Triangle brand soda ash... These are all star products in the provinces. They have been provincial and ministerial for many years. It is expected to win the National Quality Gold Award this year... "Yang Bo nodded while looking at it.

"Yes, our ministry has given great support to these star enterprises over the years, and all enterprises have kept pace with the times, and have continuously developed various new products that meet the people's livelihood and high-quality life in China. In the end, it's thanks to Chief Yang for your leadership." The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.

"But I think it's still not enough..." Yang Bo frowned slightly, and continued: "Now that the national income is generally increasing, the quality of life requirements are getting higher and higher, especially in terms of home appliances. Our domestic manufacturers produce No matter in terms of quality or output, the products still cannot fully meet the needs of the domestic market..."

"There is no way to do this. The domestic industry is weak, and home appliances are far behind Europe, America and Japan. Didn't we import TV and washing machine production lines from Japan in the past two years? BJ Jinxing TV Factory uses Japanese production lines. , now the Jinxing factory is very profitable, and the supply of products has been in short supply. I think it is very correct to take the road of absorbing and introducing foreign advanced equipment and production lines..."

"Always importing technology and equipment from other countries is not a long-term solution." Yang Bo Wenyan shook his head, and continued: "Our country's foreign exchange is very precious, and every penny spent is one penny less. We have accumulated little by little over the past few years, so we must carefully consider the use of every penny. In addition, foreign investment alone can only buy second-hand equipment that has been eliminated by developed countries in Europe and the United States. Technology, we can’t always eat other people’s leftovers, so we need to provide key support to some companies with technological potential, and we need to be hardworking ourselves. Only when our country’s own technology is developed, can we not be blackmailed by foreign countries. , and he has the opportunity to take a share in the international market..."

"Chief Yang is right." The middle-aged man echoed.

"Send a notice to the leaders of these award-winning companies and ask them to come to BJ to participate in the award ceremony before September 9. In addition, our ministry will also hold a commendation meeting for these award-winning companies and leaders on the 20st. You can go to the specific matters. Deal with it." Yang Bo explained to the middle-aged man.

"Okay, I will arrange things related to the commendation meeting later!" The middle-aged man nodded.

"That's how it is..." Yang Bo flipped through the enterprise catalogs of the next few award-winning lists. Just as he was about to put away this award-winning list, he accidentally glanced at the award-winning projects on the last page of the list, and his eyes froze for a moment. Standing up, after holding the reading glasses with his hands, he read in surprise: "...the labor service company of Hongxing Gear Factory, Daxing City, SX Province...Longteng LT4j1 automobile gearbox...our department actually has mechanical equipment this time. A new product won a gold medal!?"
