Who would have thought that Huaxi Village, which once won the reputation of "the first village in the world".

In just ten years, not only did he squander the accumulated capital, but he even went from being the richest in the world to the most "negative" in the world

What kind of magnificent history has this period experienced?

In the 80s, Huaxi Village was once known as "the first village in the world", and has achieved the goal of a well-off village.

In the 90s, when "10,000 households" were relatively scarce, every household in Huaxi Village lived in villas, and the savings reached one million, and luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW could be seen everywhere in the village.

At the beginning of the 21st century, even the least deposited among the villagers in Huaxi Village was 6 million.

After 30 years of development, this village, once known for its backwardness and poverty, has gradually become the world-renowned "No. 1 Village in the World".

Originally, it was thought that Huaxi Village would always maintain the glorious image of "the first village" and become a model village.

In the past ten years, the good times of Huaxi Village have not continued, but gradually moved towards "decline". There are even reports of the shocking news that the debt is 40 billion, what happened during this time?

Huaxi Village in Jiangyin County, Jiangsu Province, is located in the Yangtze River Delta Plain. Due to their unique geographical location for a long time, the villagers have been able to rely on agricultural development to make a living.

With the development of society and the increase of population, the land resources of Huaxi Village have gradually been unable to meet the survival needs of the villagers.

Huaxi Village does not seem to share the benefits of the Yangtze River Delta's transportation development, and has gradually become the poorest place in the Yangtze River Delta region.

In difficult times, it is necessary to think about change. And in this case, a legendary village chief came into being, and he was Wu Renbao.

Wu Renbao led Huaxi Village out of poverty-stricken stigma, improved the quality of life of the villagers, and won Huaxi Village the honor of "No. 1 Village in the World".

Wu Renbao had a deep understanding of the situation in Huaxi Village at that time, and knew that if there was no positive change, Huaxi Village would not only not be able to get rid of the hat of poverty, but might even be eliminated by the rapidly developing society.

In 1964, Wu Renbao went to Dazhai Village in Shanxi Province to observe and investigate, and at that time he had a heart for reform.

Wu Renbao fell into deep thought after the inspection, and he realized that the geographical environment of Dazhai Village and Huaxi Village is completely different, so simply copying the development experience of Dazhai Village may not solve the current problems faced by Huaxi Village.

After careful consideration, Wu Renbao finally made up his mind to take the first step.

Since you can't learn from the experience of Dazhai Village, try your own way. As a result, Wu Renbao led Huaxi Village to take the first step - adapting measures to local conditions.

Wu Renbao, who was the head of Huaxi Village at the time, quickly convened a meeting of village cadres and decided to divide the land of Huaxi Village into two parts.

The key to the sustainable development of agriculture is to hand over part of the planting work to the professional planters in the village.

On the one hand, it is to solve the basic food and clothing problem of the villagers.

On the other hand, excellent farmers can be encouraged to learn advanced planting techniques, improve soil quality, and try to make new breakthroughs in the field of agricultural development.

Another part of the village's land was contracted to villagers who were good at developing industry, and they tried to fill the gap in industry.

Considering the situation at that time, it can be said that in that context, the development of industry played a greater role in promoting Huaxi Village than the development of agriculture.

Although it seems now that Wu Renbao's decision-making at that time can be said to be flawless, it was also highly respected by the villagers.

Wu Renbao founded the first hardware factory in Huaxi Village in 1967, which laid the foundation for the development of the village's steel, textile and tourism industries, and made an important contribution to the village's economic take-off.

This point also strengthened Wu Renbao's determination to take the road of industrial development.

In the past few years, the economy of Huaxi Village has taken off rapidly, and the problem of food and clothing has long ceased to be a problem for the village.

After the implementation of the reform and opening up policy at the end of the 70s, the national economy flourished, and economic construction was carried out in various places.

Wu Renbao has been firmly on the road of industrial development for a long time, he saw the opportunity, and did not hesitate to invest a large amount of money in the steel industry, textile industry and tourism in Huaxi Village, and fully enjoyed the dividends of the development of the times.

In 1996, Huaxi Village became the first listed "village" in the country.

That's right, you read that right. It can be said that Huaxi Village at that time was more like a company than a village in the traditional sense.

Wu Renbao is the chairman, and the company's shareholders are made up of villagers.

After Huaxi Village was listed, the surrounding areas paid more attention to its development and gave a lot of support in various aspects, which further promoted the speed of Huaxi Village's economic development.

In 2012, the annual turnover of Huaxi Village has exceeded 5.2 million yuan, making Huaxi Village truly the "first village in the world".

I heard that when the villagers of Huaxi Village live in the village, whether it is a large public construction such as medical education or a small matter such as shopping and haircuts, they can get the support of the village's public funds, and basically do not need to pay for it themselves.

Every family has a big villa, a luxury car, and even a luxury swimming pool in the villa, so they live a luxurious and wealthy life.

For many ordinary people, the family has at least more than 6 million savings, and for them, this number may be difficult to achieve in a lifetime.

However, with the change of dynasties, prosperity must decline, and so is life.

In 2013, Wu Renbao passed away, and the pillar of Huaxi Village, the "big tree", fell, and for a while could not find a suitable person to lead Huaxi Village into the future, so Huaxi Village gradually lost its former prosperity and gradually fell into depression.

Huaxi Village was once a smash hit, but after the death of the village head, Wu Renbao, there was a decline in the situation. According to reports, it has been 10 years since Wu Renbao's death, and Huaxi Village is currently in debt of 40 billion, and almost every villager is burdened with a debt of 13 million.

These astronomical figures are simply daunting!

The ups and downs of wealth in Huaxi Village have gone from poverty to the richest in the world and then to the worst in the world, which can be said to be closely related to the rise and fall of Wu Renbao.

The reasons for the decline of Huaxi Village can be attributed to two main points.

The primary reason is that the land has been heavily polluted by heavy industry, which has affected the ecological environment and the huge industrial chain of Huaxi Village, and ultimately led to the failure to keep up with the pace of development.

Wu Renbao ran Huaxi Village as a company, but failed to hire people effectively, leaving no one to replace him after his death. This is the second reason.

Under Wu Renbao's leadership, Huaxi Village first focused on industrial development, but also actively promoted the development of tourism, investing 3 billion yuan to build the first high-rise building and a five-star hotel in Huaxi Village.

Even today, the hotel remains a landmark in Huaxi Village, and its interior displays a sculpture of a golden calf worth up to 300 million yuan.

The overall luxury of the hotel is magnificent, and at the same time, the reputation of "the first village in the world" has also brought a large number of visitors to Huaxi Village.

However, with the steady development of the times, the overcapacity of heavy industry in Huaxi Village and the reasons that do not conform to the development direction of green environmental protection have caused the village to gradually fade out of the market vision.

Originally, tourism was thought to be an opportunity for economic recovery, but due to years of heavy industry pollution and high consumption in the Huaxi Village tourist area, tourists were discouraged.

Wu Renbao's leadership of Huaxi Village to the forefront of China's economy can be said to be Wu Renbao's achievementHowever, due to poor management, the economy plummeted later, which can also be said to be Wu Renbao's failure.

Rushing to achieve results without regard for the consequences leads to failure, and failure due to failure to choose the path of sustainable development.

We all know that Wu Renbao, who has led the villagers to create wealth, has already treated Huaxi Village as a company to operate, which is the second reason.

Although it seems that the whole village participates in this huge industrial group, in fact, except for the proportion of the Wu family's shares, the other villagers together only account for about one-tenth of it.

In short, the villagers can only take a sip of the soup when the Wu family is drinking. If they used to live in poverty, then a full bite of food would have been enough to satisfy them.

If everyone's pockets are full, it can cause all kinds of troubles.

No matter how deep the affection is, it is difficult to resist the ** of money after a long time.

After Wu Renbao established himself in Huaxi Murakami, he therefore had more say in the entire Huaxi group, resulting in his four sons, four daughters-in-law and even many relatives in important positions.

All those who are familiar with history know that for long-term success, talented people must be hired.

Wu Renbao's cronyism directly led to the fact that after his death, Wu Xieen, the fourth son who succeeded him as village chief, was not able to inherit Wu Renbao's career.

The resentment that had been accumulating in the hearts of the villagers towards the Wu family was vented after Wu Renbao's death.

Villagers braved the rain to gather at the village committee to demand money, and their reluctance to cooperate with Mr. Wu's subsequent actions led to the gradual disintegration of the once-huge group.

Wu Renbao's failure this time was that he did not pay attention to meritocracy and ignored the emotions of many villagers.

It has been ten years since Wu Renbao's death, and since then Huaxi Village has been in a difficult development situation that it is difficult to get rid of. Wu Xieen succeeded him, and he also tried a variety of methods, hoping to revitalize Huaxi Village.

Until recently, Huaxi Village was once again in the public spotlight in a completely new way, like a dark horse.

Huaxi Group has shifted its investment focus from heavy industry to investing in new and innovative industries, and as a result, has hired a large number of professional financial analysts.

By investing in the application of optical chips in new and innovative industries, we can mainly analyze emerging industries with great potential. The results show that the optical chip industry has dominated the price limit and created a profit of more than 8 billion.

Although this achievement is slightly inferior to the Wu Renbao period, it also marks the second prosperity of Huaxi Village.

Huaxi Village seems to have completely shaken off Wu Renbao's influence, and it is hoped that they will learn their lesson and return to the forefront of the country.

Huaxi Village has not become a mess due to the ups and downs, although it no longer has the dreamy scene of Wu Renbao's era, but it shows a more realistic appearance that is more in line with the current main direction of development.

Maybe we will all remember the magnificence of this place, but we cherish the simplicity of this place even more. Huaxi Village is still a relatively affluent village, and everyone is always welcome to visit.

Wu Renbao's death had a profound impact on Huaxi Village.

* It may not be completely flawless, and it is difficult for people to be perfect.

No matter what we say, it cannot be denied that Wu Renbao has taken Huaxi Village to an almost unattainable height, and has indeed promoted the economic development of Huaxi Village and the surrounding area.

Huaxi Village has experienced setbacks and transformations, and the development of enterprises needs to be sustainable, and the same is true for the development of life.
