In Memory Of The 120Th Anniversary Of Qian Zhiguang'S Birth, Qian Zhiguang: Founder Of Textile Industry In New China (1)

Editor's note: 2020 is the 120th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Qian Zhiguang, former Minister of the Ministry of textile industry. During the revolutionary war, he made immortal contributions to the victory of the revolutionary war and the establishment of new China. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, Comrade Qian Zhiguang, in the process of leading the development of China's textile industry, led the vast number of cadres and workers in the textile industry to self-reliance and hard work in the spirit of farsightedness and pragmatism. He made great contributions to the development of China's textile industry and became the founder of the textile industry of new China. On this occasion, China textile daily carried out a series of reports on "the founder of new China's textile industry - Commemorating the 120th anniversary of Qian Zhiguang's birth", in memory of his great achievements in the development of new China's textile industry. From today on, we will excerpt part of Qian Zhiguang Zhuan to review Qian Lao's hard struggle and selfless dedication as the founder of new China's textile industry.

Prelude

In early 1955. Zhongnanhai Yingtai. The Ministry of textile industry held a small exhibition here for central leaders to watch.

Qian Zhiguang's special action stems from Premier Zhou Enlai's instruction. Yang Shangkun, then director of the general office of the CPC Central Committee, made a telephone call to the Ministry of textile industry a month ago.

In accordance with this instruction, Qian Zhiguang immediately took action to find Li Zhengguang, who had run a wool mill in Yan'an and worked as deputy director of the business department of the Ministry of textile industry for several years after the founding of the people's Republic of China. Li Zhengguang, who knew both production and management, worked together to study how to run this special small textile exhibition, and quickly made a decision: it is important to divide "raw materials", "textile production process" and "textile machinery" "Parts" and "products" are on display. In the "production process" part, due to the inconvenience of large-scale and full set of new equipment to be exhibited, the representative single stands of main processes were selected for exhibition, such as carding machine, spinning machine, weaving machine, etc. This is not only easy to install, but also can be operated on site. After the plan was determined, the exhibition was held in Yingtai, Zhongnanhai, in just over a month because of the tight grasp. Li Zhengguang presided at the scene and arranged operators and commentators.

Chairman Mao Zedong watched for nearly three hours. After reading, he said to Qian Zhiguang, "you've done a good job, and you've gained a lot."

During the visit, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De and other central leaders also expressed their views at any time.

Zhu De praised the textile system for its self-reliance and industrial construction. He said to Qian Zhiguang, "you make your own equipment, which is a good example."

Liu Shaoqi said to Qian Zhiguang: "it is not reliable to rely on others. However, some important key components and some raw materials that cannot be supplied in China can be imported

Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De and other central leaders saw that there were many kinds of textiles, including cotton, wool, hemp and silk. They all said that the quality and variety of our textiles were good. More attention should be paid to the exchange rate of textile export. At that time, foreign exchange earning from textile export accounted for 20% ~ 25% of the total export volume of the country, which was China's bulk export product.

The central government is so concerned about the textile industry that it inspires Qian Zhiguang to lead the textile workers of the whole country step by step to build the motherland into a big textile country in the world of clothing and quilt, and inspires generations of textile people to aspire to build a strong textile country.

Qian Zhiguang in the central financial and Economic Committee

In his more than 20 years of revolutionary career throughout the great revolution, the ten-year civil war and the second KMT-CPC cooperation period, Qian Zhiguang was praised by the leaders of the CPC Central Committee for his bravery, wit, competence, loyalty and honesty, as well as his excellent financial management ability and economic and trade leadership. On the eve of the victory of the revolution, Qian Zhiguang successfully completed his important mission of "developing overseas economic relations" in Hong Kong and transporting democratic personages to the north. Shortly after returning to Peiping at the turn of spring and summer of 1949, Qian Zhiguang was directly assigned to the central financial and Economic Commission (cfac) under the direct leadership of Chen Yun to participate in a series of most urgent macroeconomic management before and after the founding of new China Management work, and thus began to manage the new journey of modern industry.

Decided not to move in Shanghai

As the people's revolutionary war is winning nationwide victory, in order to recover and develop the economy as quickly as possible in a planned way, so as to meet the needs of the people's revolutionary war and improve people's lives, the second plenary session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in March 1949 decided to set up the central finance committee and set up a number of central finance Economic departments will lead the financial and economic work of the whole country in a unified way. On June 4, Zhou Enlai presided over a meeting at the Beiping Hotel and announced that the people's Revolutionary Military Commission had assigned Chen Yun and Bo Yibo to be responsible for the preparation and organization of the central finance and Finance Commission, which was temporarily under the leadership of the Central Military Commission and led by the central government after the establishment of the central government.

After intense preparation, the cfac was established. On July 12, Chen Yun presided over the inaugural meeting and announced that the central finance and Economic Commission is composed of the Ministry of Finance and economy of the Central Committee and the North China financial and Economic Commission, with Chen Yun as the director and Bo Yibo as the deputy director. The cfac itself has six bureaus and one division: the Planning Bureau, the Personnel Bureau, the technical Bureau, the private enterprise affairs bureau, the cooperative enterprise administration bureau, the foreign-funded enterprise administration bureau and the Secretariat. It has 13 departments, branches, departments, ministries and commissions: the central finance department, the people's Bank of China, the General Administration of customs, the central commercial department, the central Ministry of railways, the central transportation department, the central fuel department, the central metal office, the Central Textile Industry Department, the central industry department, the central agricultural department, the central forestry department and the Central Water Conservancy Commission.

At that time, the economic situation in Shanghai and the whole country was very difficult. What the KMT left behind was a mess. The Treasury was empty, production stopped, prices soared, and the people were in dire straits. New China had not yet been established, and millions of troops were pushing forward in the new liberated areas of the country. The supply of military supplies and civilian use was extremely tight. It was necessary to repair railways and maintain industrial and agricultural production. However, the tax revenue was limited, and the fiscal revenue could not make ends meet. With the support of issuing currency, prices rose accordingly. How to rescue the crisis of Shanghai at that time and how to overcome the financial and economic difficulties of the whole country are important and urgent issues in front of the CPC Central Committee of Finance and economics.

While preparing for the establishment of the central financial and Economic Commission, Chen Yun has begun to consider and deal with national financial and economic issues. Such as the recovery of urban production, especially the start-up of textile mills and the solution of cotton as raw materials, financial prices, the recovery and development of transportation, and so on. On the eve of Shanghai's liberation, Chen Yun has proposed that we should fully realize the "importance of maintaining the textile industry in Shanghai" after Shanghai's liberation He said: "it is estimated that 40 billion yuan will be issued for purchasing about 30000 tons of cotton within three months, which can encourage some price fluctuations. However, compared with the price fluctuation of Jiangsu and Hubei provinces, the former has great advantages and less disadvantages. At the same time, it is estimated that the cotton purchase funds are scattered in many counties of the two provinces, not concentrated in one place. It is estimated that with cotton, gauze can be returned to the market. All in all, it's good for little. " At that time, Shanghai's light and textile industry accounted for 74% of Shanghai's industrial output value, Shanghai's textile mill spindles of 2.29 million, accounting for 40% of the country's total trade volume. If the spindle of Shanghai textile mill stops running, it will not only affect the economy of Shanghai, but also the national economy. In order to ensure the operation of Shanghai spindles by issuing additional RMB to purchase cotton, Chen Yun made a decision after weighing the advantages and disadvantages according to the complex situation. In May 21, they talked about the economy of Shen and Chen. They put forward: "the purchase of cotton from Hong Kong businessmen should start as soon as possible." Chen Yun asked Zhang Naiqi to draft a telegram for Qian Zhiguang in Hong Kong on his behalf and implement it.

Shortly after the liberation of Shanghai, silver dollar speculation was rampant, occupying the market, and RMB could not be squeezed in. Later, the same thing happened in Wuhan. Shanghai military control and the old economic forces in Shanghai launched a soul stirring "Silver Dollar War", and took decisive measures, political means, economic means, propaganda offensive three pronged approach, and achieved victory, creating a good beginning for the future economic recovery and development. Prices in the Shanghai market remained calm for more than 10 days. With the rapid increase of money flow and the blockade of Haikou, speculators turned from silver dollar to "two white and one black" (rice, gauze and coal), and prices began to fluctuate again. People in Shanghai and other places are generally worried about the further deterioration of the economy and demand prompt and effective measures.

In early July, the central China Bureau of the CPC Central Committee called the Central Committee and proposed to hold a financial and Trade Conference in East China, North China and central China. Chen Yun agreed and proposed to hold the meeting in Shanghai, and asked the northeast and northwest to send people to attend. Why open in Shanghai? Chen Yun thinks: Shanghai is China's largest city, the financial center of the East, Shanghai can not stand, and the national economy can not be stable; to investigate the national financial and economic situation and put forward solutions, if not in Shanghai, we can not see the overall situation and the national financial and economic difficulties. Therefore, the central government decided to hold financial and trade meetings in Shanghai and study the issue of tax collection and fiscal expenditure in autumn.

The East China Bureau of the CPC Central Committee asked Chen Yun to come to Shanghai a few days in advance to prepare for the meeting. On July 19, Chen Yun led song Shaowen, Qian Zhiguang, Cao JURU, Zhang Naiqi, Qian Jiaju and Secretary Zhou Taihe to Shanghai from Peiping by train. After arriving in Shanghai, he made preparations for the meeting while listening to the reports, investigating and studying for four consecutive days. We have made a preliminary understanding of the financial revenues and expenditures, grain and cotton deposits, gold and silver dollar foreign currency stocks, currency issuance and circulation, and the rising trend of prices in Shanghai and other major regions, and exchanged views with financial and economic leaders of several major regions. On this basis, Chen Yun believes that to solve the national difficulties, we must break through from Shanghai. Therefore, it is proposed that "the whole country supports Shanghai, and Shanghai supports the whole country", so as to concentrate the dominant forces and solve the Shanghai problem first. This proposal was approved by the financial and economic leaders of each region, which created favorable conditions for a good meeting.

On July 27, the financial and economic meeting officially started, and it was divided into four groups: comprehensive, financial, trade and financial groups. On August 8, Chen Yun made a speech at the conference on the basis of the preliminary discussions of the four groups, and put forward his preliminary views on overcoming the serious financial and economic difficulties.

Due to the bombing by enemy planes, the sea port was blocked by US imperialist warships. As a result, import and export were interrupted and production was difficult. Therefore, Shanghai once proposed to the central government the idea of evacuation. After the meeting of the CPC Central Committee, it was proposed that the Shanghai issue could only be solved from three aspects: rural areas, streamlining and evacuation, and asked Shanghai to come up with a specific plan after consulting with Chen Yun and submit it to the Central Committee for discussion. Chen Yun also planned to move some factories and schools from Shanghai to Northeast China. Therefore, Chen Yun raised this issue in his speech on August 8.

On August 15, Comrade Chen Yun made an in-depth discussion on the above issues

　　"

2. Production problems in the mill. It should be decided whether the Shanghai cotton mill will move or not. If the factory moves, there will need to be workshops, power and auxiliary industries. They have moved. The workers here have lost their jobs, and they can't work there for half a year. Therefore, we decided not to move, but to maintain production. Although it is difficult to maintain production now, there are still conditions to maintain it. It is conceivable that the number of existing spindles should be reduced by 15% (this is normal), and then a 20% discount will be given, that is, five days and five nights a week. The extent to which it can be maintained is still uncertain. We have to wait for the cotton to come down. What if gauze can't be sold? Prepare two hands: first, sell at a loss, organize export consciously, in order to exchange things; second, if the United States imperialist blockade, can not export, more tickets will be issued to hoard the gauze. Only when these two roads fail can we consider the issue of shutdown. Of course, we can also see if there is any other way out. Now, if we want to settle down, we should arrange our work according to this policy.

3. Acquisition of local products and capital issues The unified flower gauze company is under the direct leadership of the finance and Economics Commission of the people's Republic of China. It's better to have gauze in East China. Comrades in East China said that if it is not under the unified management of the central government, cotton may not be exchanged for cotton in East China with gauze or banknotes, and some factories may hoard gauze instead of selling it. They asked that the gauze should be handed over to the central government for unified control and that cotton should be supplied by the central government. This requires the establishment of a gauze company under the direct leadership of the central financial commission. With such a company, we can guarantee the smooth return of banknotes.

　　……

Guarantee the supply of Shanghai Now the question in Shanghai is whether there is rice and cotton, and the key is whether there is transport capacity to bring rice and cotton in North China, East China and central China should ensure the completion of cotton purchase plan.

　　……

12. Hold special meetings of various systems. After the Shanghai conference, we will hold some special meetings At the trade meeting, we discussed cotton purchasing; at the price meeting, we discussed the price policy, and the most important thing was the price comparison of industrial and agricultural products. The essence of price comparison of industrial and agricultural products is the relationship between the people's political power led by the proletariat and the peasants. In the past in the northeast, we have learned a lesson. For example, it was stipulated that 12 Jin of grain was equal to 1 jin of cotton the year before last. As a result, farmers did not grow cotton. Last year, it was changed to 13 catties of grain equal to 1 catty of cotton. It was also stipulated that cotton planting should be exempted from paying public grain, so that farmers would actively grow cotton. This shows that the price policy is very important, we must pay attention to research and master.

　　"

After the Shanghai financial and economic conference, Chen Yun stayed in Shanghai to discuss how to implement the decisions of the meeting. According to the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Chen Yun held many symposiums in Shanghai, including those of Shanghai industry and Shanghai textile industry. The participants expressed their support for the various measures taken by the Communist Party to overcome temporary difficulties.

On the evening of February, Chen Yun returned to the political meeting of the CPC Central Committee in Beijing to report on the situation. On September 3, Mao Zedong wrote to the East China Bureau, saying: "the Central Committee agrees with the general principles and many specific measures decided by the Shanghai conference. We must maintain Shanghai and coordinate the overall situation. It is not easy to talk about relocation and layoffs. Focus on sorting out taxes to increase income. A meal for three and a half for five. Redundant personnel should be inserted into the positions that need them. Factories and schools that are willing or likely to be relocated must be carefully planned so that they can be maintained and have a bright future after they arrive in the new land. Otherwise, they should not be relocated. "

The Shanghai financial and economic conference has played an important role in realizing the fundamental improvement of the national financial and economic situation.

In September, the central finance and Finance Commission reorganized North China Trade Corporation into 11 specialized companies, including gauze, grain and local products. At that time, Zhu Hua, who served as the deputy manager of Hua gauze company, was nominated and recommended by Qian Zhiguang, who was the business backbone of "China Trading Corporation" founded by Qian Zhiguang in Dalian and China Resources Corporation in Hong Kong.

On October 1, the Central People's Government of the people's Republic of China was established. Chen Yun was appointed Vice Premier and director of the finance and Economic Committee of the Government Council, and Bo Yibo and Ma Yinchu were appointed deputy directors.

On the morning of October 21, the financial and Economic Committee of the Government Council of the Central People's government held its inaugural meeting in "Jiuye mansion". There were 31 participants and 18 non voting participants. Qian Zhiguang and Zhang qinqiu attended the founding meeting.

Presided over the first national cotton conference

In August 1949, the Shanghai financial and economic conference decided that special meetings of various systems should be held after the meeting to implement the principles decided by the Shanghai financial and economic conference and the measures to overcome difficulties.

After Qian Zhiguang and Chen Yun attended the financial and economic conference in Shanghai, and soon after he returned to Beiping, the central financial and financial Commission authorized him to preside over the cotton conference.

This cotton meeting was held in the conference room of the first entrance of the west corridor of "jiuyefu" in Chaoyang Gate, Beiping, where the central finance and Finance Commission is located. The meeting will be held from September 22 to September 29. More than 30 people attended the meeting, including Wu Weijing (textile fiber expert, known as "cotton king"), deputy general manager of Shanghai China Textile Corporation, and representatives from Hebei, Jiangsu, Henan and Hubei Jingzhou region, which was not long after liberation. Most of them have been engaged in cotton work for a long time. The conference staff include Yu Li Ting, Cai Chengzu, Wang Huasheng, etc.

The main topic of this cotton conference is to study the purchase and supply of raw cotton this year, raw cotton processing, inspection and classification, expanding the cotton field next year, improving varieties, and adjusting finished products to promote urban-rural exchanges and other issues, and put forward specific solutions. Delegates at the meeting spoke freely, starting from reviewing the development process of cotton in China and the current situation of cotton. Since the yuan, Ming, Qing Dynasties and even the period of the Republic of China, all dynasties attached great importance to cotton planting. After entering the 20th century, with the rapid development of machine cotton textile industry, the provinces in the Yellow River and Yangtze River Basin put cotton planting in an important position next to food crops. In 1936, China's cotton fields were 53.57 million mu, with a total cotton output of 17 million tons (850000 tons). In the same year, 10.814 million tons (540000 tons) of domestic cotton were used by the national cotton mills (excluding local textile and cotton wadding), and the raw materials were basically self-sufficient for the machine cotton textile industry with a total scale of 5.1 million spindles at that time. However, due to the long-term war, cotton seeds degenerated and cotton planting technology stagnated, resulting in serious shrinkage of cotton production. In 1949, the total cotton production in China was 8.89 million tons (4445000 tons), only about 1 / 8 of the total cotton production of the United States in the same year. In 1949, when the operating rate of cotton mills was very low, the self-sufficiency rate of raw cotton decreased sharply to less than 40%. In the summer and autumn of 1949, cotton mills in Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao and other major textile industrial bases almost relied on stocks of cotton to maintain production. In addition, some imperialist countries imposed economic blockade on New China, and the resumption and development of cotton production became one of the most urgent economic problems in China at that time. The meeting put forward many positive suggestions and useful opinions.

Under the chairmanship of Qian Zhiguang, he summarized and synthesized them and formed a consensus. On September 30, Qian Zhiguang summarized the meeting

　　"

Textile industry accounts for the largest proportion in the national light industry. In the past, a part of raw cotton depended on the supply of imperialist countries, and the domestic cotton production failed to meet the needs of rapid development. At present, the main cotton producing areas and textile industry centers have been liberated. In order to change the colonial nature of the textile industry, maintain and restore textile production, promote the development of the people's economy, and maintain and improve the lives of the majority of textile workers, the solution to the problem of raw cotton supply this year is not only a simple procurement problem, but also related to the national economy and people's livelihood Meaningful work.

Based on the above understanding and the decision of the Shanghai meeting held in August this year, the central financial and Economic Commission further studied the issues of raw cotton purchase and supply, raw cotton processing, inspection and classification, expanding cotton fields next year, improving varieties, and adjusting finished products to promote urban-rural exchanges. After seven or eight days of in-depth discussion, it was determined that all cotton producing areas should vigorously strengthen the purchase and transportation of cotton, and support textile production in Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin and other places, so as to maintain social stability. At the same time, four suggestions were put forward for the rapid recovery and development of cotton production

1. Expand the planting area of cotton fields to about 54 million mu in 1950, returning to the level of 1936 on the whole, so as to meet the needs of existing cotton textile mills.

2. Adjust the price ratio of grain and cotton, tentatively set at 8:1, that is, each catty of lint cotton of standard grade (7 / 8 inch in length, intermediate grade) is converted into eight catties of millet, so as to take care of the interests of cotton farmers and reward them for their enthusiasm in production.

Third, pay close attention to improving cotton seed. In order to improve the quality of cotton varieties, such as Si Zi cotton and Dai Zi cotton, which were successfully cultivated in the United States, were selected. And decided to hand over this important task to cotton expert Wu Weijing to host. Wu Weijing also asked Wu Weijing to recover the cotton varieties of Si Zi and Dai Zi which had been detained in Hong Kong before liberation, and quickly distribute them to all cotton producing provinces for cotton seed improvement.

4. Establish cotton inspection institutions as soon as possible to carry out cotton inspection work.

　　"

After the meeting, Qian Zhiguang wrote a summary of the meeting and the four suggestions unanimously adopted and submitted it to the China finance and Finance Commission for approval. This work was originally entrusted by Chen Yun to Qian Zhiguang in person, and the four suggestions put forward in the summary are so pragmatic, specific and operable that they will soon be implemented throughout the country as the decision of the central financial and financial commission. This not only played a decisive role in the restoration and development of cotton production in the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China, but also played a historic and important role in the subsequent development of China's cotton planting industry.

Half a century later, Yu Li Ting, who took part in the work of the conference, wrote the following paragraph in commemoration of Qian's centenary birthday: "although the meeting was held in the name of the China finance and Finance Commission, in a few days, under the chairmanship of Comrade Qian Zhiguang, a variety of opinions from experts were collected and summarized to form a unified will, thus creating cotton seed improvement, cotton planting quantity, grain and cotton production It is a miracle to compare prices and even to establish cotton inspection institutions. "

The day after the national cotton conference ended, October 1, 1949. In this glorious day, Qian Zhiguang attended the founding ceremony of new China. Representatives and staff of the cotton conference also attended the ceremony by the Yuhe bridge in Tiananmen under the concern of the central finance and Finance Commission.

"Battle of gauze"

In June 1949, the Shanghai Military Control Commission took resolute measures and won the battle against the old economic forces in the "Silver Dollar War". The prices in Shanghai market remained calm for more than ten days. Speculators turned from silver dollar speculation to rice, gauze and coal speculation, and prices began to fluctuate again. People in Shanghai and other places are generally worried about the further deterioration of the economic situation. The financial and economic staff in various places also feel that the situation is serious and demand that effective measures be taken promptly.

During the Shanghai financial and economic conference, a series of important decisions were made to cope with the challenge of speculative capital and curb price fluctuations. In order to maintain the development of cotton mills in Shanghai, we should purchase cotton gauze and cotton mills in Shanghai So that the state can grasp enough grain and gauze, and become the main means to stabilize the market and control prices. Within two months after the meeting, prices were relatively stable.

On October 15, 1949, the price rise rose again. Shanghai and Wuhan are led by gauze and Tianjin by grain. In this regard, the Chinese finance and Finance Commission held two committee meetings successively on November 1 and 5. Chen Yun and the participants analyzed the reasons for the sharp rise in prices, discussed the methods of deflation, selling goods and materials, and strengthening market management, and carefully selected the time to take measures to stop the rise of prices. On November 13, the China finance and Finance Commission issued 12 directives to all localities, which were signed and issued by Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong

　　"

Third, in order to ensure the supply of gauze in Hankou, Hunan and Guangdong, Qian Zhiguang was sent to Shanghai first and then to Hankou, and the gauze stock in the two places should be appropriately adjusted to facilitate action. At the same time, it also urged the transportation of cotton from central China to the east to ensure the raw materials needed for the production of gauze in Shanghai.

Fourth, northwest Finance Commission will send personnel to transport the gauze accumulated along Longhai Road to Xi'an as soon as possible.

Article 5: the Ministry of Finance shall allocate 210 million jin of public grain to the Ministry of trade from November 16 to 30 in the north of Deshi railway and Pingyuan province (the name of the old province) to meet the demand of grain sales in cotton producing areas.

Article 6 the head office and main branches of the people's Bank of China shall suspend all loans except those approved by the central finance and Finance Commission and other local financial committees as of the date of the arrival of electricity. During this period, the loan should be recovered according to the contract.

Article 11. At present, except for dealing with door sellers, trading companies in various regions should not sell their major goods and materials in large quantities for the time being. All parties should transfer the main materials to the main places, and strive to complete them on November 25 (at the latest 30); it is scheduled to sell them in major cities of the country at the end of November and the beginning of December.

　　"

At this time, Qian Zhiguang, a member of the central finance and Finance Commission, who had just been appointed Vice Minister of the Ministry of textile industry of the Central People's government and Secretary of the Party group of the Communist Party of China on October 19, went to Shanghai and Hankou to properly allocate the gauze stocks in order to implement the decision of the central finance and Finance Commission. After finding out the production, stock and market situation of gauze in Shanghai, he transferred part of the yarn stock in Shanghai to Hankou and personally escorted the car. When the gauze arrived in Hankou, Liu Yiqing, Zeng Chuanliu, the Finance Committee of central China Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, were very happy to see the warehouse full of gauze. This batch of gauze ensures that Wuhan market will realize the unified action of major cities in the country at the end of November and the beginning of December, and a large number of sales are carried out, thus stabilizing prices. Qian Zhiguang handed the gauze to the central China Bureau Finance Committee of the CPC Central Committee and returned to Beijing to continue the establishment of the Ministry of textile industry.

A purposeful, organized and step-by-step fight against soaring prices and speculators broke out across the country. Chen Yun, as a strategist, calmly directed the coordinated operations of trade, banking and finance. All major cities acted in a unified way. On November 25th, he sold a large number of grain and gauze, and achieved the success of stabilizing prices. It not only stabilized the people's hearts, but also left a deep impression on private businessmen. Mao Zedong spoke highly of the economic struggle organized by the CPC Central Committee of Finance and economics, focusing on Shanghai and involving the whole country. Its significance was no less than that of the Huaihai Campaign. Rong Yiren, then the general manager of the general management office of Shanghai Shenxin textile company, said: "the CPC did not need political power this time, but was able to stabilize prices, which is a lesson for the industrial and commercial circles in Shanghai." He said: "the June silver wave was suppressed by the Communist Party of China with political force. This time, it can be stabilized only by economic strength, which is unexpected by the industrial and commercial circles in Shanghai."

It took half a year for the CPC to shift its focus from the countryside to the city, from the preparation and opening of the Central Military Commission to the establishment of the financial and Economic Committee of the Government Council of the Central People's government. The Chinese financial and Economic Commission has done a lot of effective work in unifying the national financial and economic management, curbing inflation for many years, and achieving social and economic stability. It has laid the foundation for the economic management system of new China, and has led the national economy to a path of gradual recovery and development. Under the direct leadership of Chen Yun, Qian Zhiguang personally witnessed, witnessed and participated in the whole process. He did a lot of work in the front line and devoted all his energy in silence. The two proletarian revolutionaries who had known each other since Ruijin's period further became intimate friends.
