随着过渡时期总路线的提出,1953年底,国家开始向社会主义过渡。面对章华毛纺公司等企业的生存困境,刘鸿生家族希望通过带头公私合营表现政治进步。不过,这毕竟是艰难的抉择。刘家不仅在章华递交合营申请问题上出尔反尔,在合营过程中,围绕企业高层人事安排、政府投资、私人垫款、海外家族股份、外逃资金等一系列问题不断同政府讨价还价。尽管政府在合营谈判中积极贯彻统战政策,对刘家做出了一些让步,但公私合营使刘鸿生家族丧失了对企业的决策权、人事权乃至生产指挥权。 As the general line for the transition period was proposed, by the end of 1953 the state began to make a transition to socialism. In the face of the survival difficulties of enterprises such as Zhanghua Woolen Company, the family of Liu Hongsheng hopes to show political progress by taking the lead in public-private partnerships. However, after all, this is a difficult choice. Liu not only made a mistake in submitting a joint venture application to Zhang Hua, but also kept bargaining with the government over a series of issues such as high-level personnel arrangement, government investment, personal advances, overseas family shares and capital flight. Although the government actively implemented the united front policy during the joint venture negotiations, it made some concessions to Liu, but the public-private joint venture has caused Liu Hongsheng’s family to lose control of the decision-making, personnel and even production of the enterprise.
