Chapter 74: Annexation of Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory

Although Deputy Director Cheng was only the deputy director of Ningzhou Education Bureau, he must have a very good understanding of these things in Ningzhou. That night, Yang Shaozong returned to Deputy Director Cheng's home and asked him about the situation.

Deputy Director Cheng had just sobered up at this time and was reading newspapers at home waiting for his wife to prepare supper.

When Deputy Director Cheng saw that Yang Shaozong was back, he was a little surprised, but he still hurriedly and enthusiastically invited Yang Shaozong into the house, so he personally poured tea ceremony for Yang Shaozong: "Xiao Yang, you are here just right. I am about to call your supply and marketing station and invite you to come for dinner. Look, please send me back, but you didn't treat you well!"

Yang Shaozong waved his hand and said, "Director Cheng, I am not the kind of polite person. In fact, I don't go to the Sanbao Temple for nothing. As soon as I came here, I heard that Ningzhou cold storage factory might be sold. The Municipal Light Industry Bureau is worried that no unit is willing to accept it!"

Deputy Director Cheng was slightly stunned, then sat down and asked, "Do you have this intention?"

"yes?"

Yang Shaozong immediately took out the cigarette and Deputy Director Cheng and said, "Aren't our factory going to take a big project? There is a basic part now, but I guess there will be a larger factory area and infrastructure in the future. Ningzhou cold storage factory is ready-made. If we can accept them at a suitable price, it will save us an investment and a lot of construction cycles!"

Deputy Director Cheng lit the cigarette and thought silently for a long time before saying, "Xiao Yang, I think you should be cautious. On the surface, there are only a few hundred employees at the cold storage factory to work, but in fact the drag is very big, with at least more than a thousand employees. The burden on their factory is very heavy, so no one cares about it. Of course, if you are willing to take this risk, I can help. Although I can't control the city of the Light Industry Bureau, Director Gu and I have a good personal relationship. The heavy industry and machinery industry in Ningzhou are strong, while the light industry is very average. I haven't done it well these years, and Lao Gu's hair is much whiter!"

Yang Shaozong just listened with a smile and did not express any comments on this.

Deputy Director Cheng said that there were more than 1,000 employees in the cold storage factory, but Director Pang said that there were only more than 600. There is no doubt that Deputy Director Cheng was accurate because Director Pang was just asking Yang Shaozong to come and take over the mess of Ningzhou cold storage factory.

At this moment, Cheng Zhizhong hurriedly opened the door and walked in. When he looked up, he saw Yang Shaozongzheng and Deputy Director Cheng sitting in the living room talking, and smiled in surprise: "Hey, Director Yang is here again. It just so happened that my father just asked me to get two bottles of good wine and I have to drink a few more drinks tonight!"

Yang Shaozong asked Deputy Director Cheng with a smile: "Director Cheng, you just drank a lot at noon and you have to drink it again at night. This is really a lot of alcohol!"

Deputy Director Cheng said excitedly, "Where can I have much alcohol tolerance, I am happy. Zhizhong's exercise this time is a very good arrangement. From your Huaixi County, this arrangement is a little more dangerous. From your Qishan, this is really good. The environment over Qishan is good, which is very suitable for young people to do big things. There is also a guarantee from the Wang Hall. If you help more in the place, Zhizhong will definitely not suffer any losses there. Of course I am happy!"

After a moment of pause, he changed the topic and laughed: "When it comes to alcohol, your Deputy Secretary Qin can really drink it. I guess you have at least two pounds of alcohol. You have a lot of alcohol. If you exercise well, you can drink at least one and a half pounds!"

Yang Shaozong said: "I don't like drinking very much. Generally, at most half a pound of wine is at most, and I won't drink it any more."

Deputy Director Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Yang, you are in the world, how can you not drink? You are here too. Let's drink a few drinks tonight and let Zhizhong exercise a little!"

Yang Shaozong smiled and said, "I feel sorry for my parents in the world. For the future of Cheng Zhizhong, Deputy Director Cheng has not been worried about this period. He ran up and down and went around, and even went to the province."

Thinking of Rover again, isn’t the situation the same?

The difference between the two is that Deputy Director Cheng is under the control and has some power in his hands, while Director Luo is in the province, and has a level but no real power.

Unlike Cheng Zhizhong, although he is actually one year younger than Cheng Zhizhong, Yang Shaozong is much more mature and has many worldly styles. Moreover, he has already climbed one step ahead. He became a department-level cadre after just a few months of working, and was also a member of the Party Committee of the Commune Management Committee.

Of course, Deputy Director Cheng understood this point and felt that Yang Shaozong was indeed very different from ordinary young cadres as Wang Tan said. He hoped that Cheng Zhizhong would get closer to him. When Wang Tan took action to pull Yang Shaozong to the province, he would also benefit from it.

After sitting down to have a meal, Deputy Director Cheng asked Cheng Zhizhong to toast Yang Shaozong, the leader, for two glasses of wine, and then he re-telled the topic of Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory.

After hearing the two of them talked a few times, Cheng Zhizhong asked Deputy Director Cheng with a little puzzled: "Dad, Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory is a well-known broken factory. I don't know how many years have been losing money. I heard that the amount is quite large every year. Why do they still have more than a thousand employees?"

Deputy Director Cheng sneered, sighed again, and asked Yang Shaozong: "Xiao Yang, since you want to take over the cold storage factory, do you have a sufficient understanding of their affairs?"

Yang Shaozong thought for a while and said: "I am quite clear about their affairs. Their benefits were always very good 80 years ago. The factory leaders relied on the factory to have the best cold storage conditions in Ningzhou at that time, so they took on several new projects in a row. Not only did they ask for land from the prefecture committee to expand the scale of the cold storage, but they also opened several workshops to produce popsicles and beverages. At that time, it was the stage of generally best benefits for state-owned enterprises. Many people wanted to squeeze in. The cold storage factory felt that it had good benefits, so they kept collecting people. In addition, the children of employees continued to enter, and more and more people were. As a result, as soon as the price dual-track system was implemented in 1982, their benefits fell sharply. Ningzhou's light industry was also the best. There were more and more companies producing popsicle cold drinks, and their cold storage factory was the heaviest, so they naturally suffered more and more losses! "

Deputy Director Cheng nodded and said, "You are indeed very clear about these things. The 1982 price dual-track reform was a turning point for Ningzhou meat joint factory and cold storage factory, which directly squeezed them out. Now, of course, it is getting worse every year. The meat joint factory is still alive to live, but the cold storage factory recruits workers in the front very well. The monthly salary of the No. 1,000 state-owned employees alone have to spend 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. In addition, other maintenance, medical reimbursement and other expenses, as well as canteens, nurseries, etc., the total amount is at least 600,000 yuan a year. This is still a conservative figure."

Yang Shaozong asked: "Do they still have any debts to the bank?"

Deputy Director Cheng said: "How can it not be? There is an estimated loan of more than one million yuan, and it has not been paid yet. The bank cannot give them a loan at present. Lao Gu just talked to me a few days ago. He said that if there is really no way, he will go bankrupt directly. On the contrary, other provinces have already had this precedent. If you drag it on like this, even the Light Industry Bureau will be dragged to death."

Yang Shaozong said: "I can't carry this loan of more than one million yuan for the time being."

Deputy Director Cheng said: "This matter can be discussed... Xiao Yang, you may not know. Many people in Ningzhou know about it. Director Gu of the Light Industry Bureau is the former director of Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory. He is lucky and was transferred to the Light Industry Bureau as the deputy director in 1981. Now many people say that the current difficulties of Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory are all historical problems left by him, and he is more anxious than anyone else."

"So that?"

Yang Shaozong thought in his mind that it was no longer difficult for him to win the Ningzhou cold storage factory with an extremely low price and super preferential treatment.

Deputy Director Cheng said to Yang Shaozong even more simply: "Xiao Yang, let me tell you this. Based on my understanding of doing this, as long as you can guarantee a turnover of losses into profits, the Light Industry Bureau can give it to you for free. However, there are still conditions, that is, you must ensure a stable situation in the factory and not have any employees going out to cause trouble."

Yang Shaozong thought for a moment before saying, "Chen Bureau, our Qishan Meat Factory is a social enterprise. Since it is a social enterprise, it has our characteristics. Our current management system is like this. All members enter the factory and sign a five-year employment contract. During the employment period, we treat all employees according to the welfare benefits of the state-owned factory. If they violate factory rules, the circumstances are minor and the circumstances are more severe, they are directly on duty to study. If they fail to study, they will terminate the employment contract and send them back to the company to continue to be ordinary laborers. The key to the reason why our factory can do it well is this very special management system."

"oh……!"

Deputy Director Cheng said: "No wonder, social enterprises... Actually, it's interesting to think about it, but your method is not universal in our state-owned enterprises!"

"right!"

Yang Shaozong did not deny it and said, "The problem is exactly here. We are a social enterprise, not a state-owned factory. If we take over Ningzhou cold storage factory, then Ningzhou cold storage factory will become a branch of our Qishan Commune community-run enterprise and also belong to a social enterprise."

"right!"

Deputy Director Cheng did not deny this. Social-run enterprises are township fund-raising enterprises, but they are very different from township fund-raising enterprises.

Yang Shaozong said: "Our Qishan Meat Factory also hires a large number of non-member employees, all of which sign employment contracts. If they are unwilling to sign such a contract, they will not work in our factory. If we accept Ningzhou cold storage factory, all employees will be re-selected and trained, some will directly handle domestic insurance, or even dismissed, and most will stay to sign employment contracts. If Ningzhou Light Industry Bureau can agree to this condition, other conditions will be easy to negotiate, including the repayment issue of a one-million loan!"

"So that?"

Deputy Director Cheng couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He pondered for a while before saying, "Xiao Yang, I am not the leader in charge of Ningzhou cold storage factory, and my words definitely don't count, but I personally think that your conditions are difficult to accept by the Light Industry Bureau. Of course, you are a social enterprise, and the Light Industry Bureau cannot force you to operate in accordance with the management regulations of state-owned enterprises. Can you give it a little compromise?"

Yang Shaozong said: "It is OK to give it a compromise. I can guarantee that no employee will be laid off. However, for those employees who do not obey management, Qishan Meat Factory has the right to force suspension. Within three years, I will continue to pay pensions to him. The rest of the benefits are equivalent to suspension of wages. After three years, I will be completely handled according to suspension of wages. During the suspension period, as long as he is willing to accept the factory's arrangements to engage in production, he can continue to participate in employee training again to obtain employment opportunities. In addition, all employees working in the factory must sign a new labor employment contract, and special matters are handled. The original cold storage factory employees can sign a lifelong employment contract until retirement, but in the contract, we will strengthen the management authority of our factory and clarify the differences between us as a social enterprise and a state-owned enterprise. Those who are unwilling to sign a contract can only suspend their work."

Deputy Director Cheng said: "Of course this is OK, what about the loan problem?"

Yang Shaozong said: "If the amount is about 1 million yuan, I can pay off the loan directly. I can also guarantee in writing that I will turn losses into profits next year, and the output value will reach 100 million in three years. However, the Ningzhou Prefectural Committee is best to give us some support policies and give us a new loan in the near future, so that I can launch new projects at the Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory in the shortest time and invest funds to update the equipment technology. It is best to give some foreign exchange retention indicators, because I plan to introduce equipment from Japan to Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory, otherwise... the output value within three years will be difficult to reach 100 million!"

Deputy Director Cheng was very surprised and smiled and said, "All these are easy to deal with. Oh, Xiao Yang, I really didn't expect you to have such great courage. No wonder you can stand alone in the commune in such a short time, no wonder you can be so admired by Wang Hall. Okay, as long as you have these promises, I will go directly to Director Gu and Secretary Yuan of our Prefectural Committee tomorrow. The transfer fee is issue... You can rest assured that this hot potato will almost make Director Gu live a short life."

Yang Shaozong smiled and said nothing.

Ningzhou cold storage factory is not just that loan, but also owes a lot to other units. The total amount of land, equipment, and factory buildings is estimated to be 2 million yuan. The total amount of land, equipment, and factory buildings is basically offset by half. If you count the more than 1,000 employees, even if you give them to others for free, others will not dare to ask for it.

Yang Shaozong's views are different. The land of Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory is definitely worth a lot of money. Even if he only continues to lose like this, he can recover 500 million by selling the land in 2000.

Losing will definitely not be lost.

However, there are so many opportunities to make money, and Yang Shaozong doesn’t care about the land.

He was very clear about the calculations in his heart. As long as he took down the Ningzhou cold storage factory without losing money, he would save at least three months of construction period and more than one million yuan in construction funds. Such a large factory area and factory building are enough for the development of Qishan Meat Factory in the next one or two years.

Even if he wants to clear the two million accounts, he suffers a loss. Ningzhou Prefectural Committee must appease the policy. The leader of the Prefectural Committee will inevitably help the factory to borrow millions from the municipal bank. He can also borrow more money from the provincial industrial bank with the assets of Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory and Qishan Meat Cotton Factory.

As long as he clears out the two million accounts and helps the Ningzhou Prefectural Committee make some contributions, he will suffer small losses and make big profits.

Can he still not understand the truth in this?

It was already late at night when he left Director Cheng's house. It was so late. When Yang Shaozong returned to his residence, he called Yang Jianlin urgently. After hearing what Yang Shaozong said, Yang Jianlin also felt that there were many benefits here.

The next day, Yang Jianlin hurried over and had trouble with Yang Shaozong.

For Deputy Director Cheng, although not every official has a task of attracting investment, it is always very beneficial to be able to solve such a troublesome problem for the prefectural committee. At least the secretary of the prefectural committee and the mayor will look up to you.

He didn't talk to Director Gu first, but directly found Yuan Jingfang, the secretary of the prefectural party committee. Secretary Yuan was of course very happy, so he called Director Gu over and discussed it together.

The whole thing was handled very quickly. Within a few days, Secretary Yuan was accompanied by Director Gu and Deputy Director Cheng to inspect the Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory.

Director Pang of the cold storage factory was the last one to know everything about it. He urgently asked someone to clean the cold storage factory, and Yang Shaozong, Yang Jianlin and Xu Xiaoli were also ready early in the morning.

When the time was almost over, a black Nissan Iron Duke slowly drove into the Ningzhou Meat Co., Ltd. Many people could not imagine that before the Audi 100 was made in China, many Japanese smuggling cars had shined in the courtyard at the first level of the prefectural committee.

Japanese cars were treated like artifacts in China in 1987. The leaders sat on the Iron Duke of Nissan and the Toyota Crown without any national hatred.

After the car stopped, Deputy Director Cheng got out of the car first, and the other two cadres got off one after another. The old cadre who got off the car was not tall, had gray hair, and was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, which was Yuan Jingfang, the secretary of the prefectural party committee of Ningzhou City.

This person has almost the same background as Peng Yaonan. He was born in the military and suffered a great loss during the Great Revolution. He resumed work in about 80 years and continued to serve as the first and second in command of the prefectural committee level. He lost the possibility of a step upward attack, but he could also rely on his old qualifications to dominate the country like a prince. Most of the leaders in the province could only turn a blind eye to them and close their eyes.

Yuan Jingfang is not tall and looks like an old cadre who is easy to get along with, with a harmonious expression.

After Deputy Director Cheng whispered a few words beside him, Secretary Yuan Jingfang walked towards Yang Shaozong in a big step, shook hands with Yang Shaozong and said, "I heard Cheng Xuguo talk about you. It's a very good young man, very courageous, very good!"

At this time, Deputy Director Cheng Xuguocai hurriedly added to Yang Shaozong: "Xiao Yang, this is Secretary Yuan of our Prefectural Committee, and this is Director Gu Chen of our Municipal Light Industry Bureau!"

Yang Shaozong immediately said, "Hello Secretary Yuan, Hello Director Gu, Director Cheng, thank you for your hard work during this period!"

Cheng Xuguo smiled with a shirk, "No, no, no, no!"

With Yuan Jingfang, the secretary of the Prefectural Committee, here, neither Cheng Xuguo nor Director Gu Chen of the Light Industry Bureau dared not say a few more words, and he had to speak as briefly as possible.

Secretary Yuan ordered in a simple manner: "Since you have arrived, and you are more familiar with the situation of Ningzhou cold storage factory, I don't think you need to visit their factory. There will be a meeting at noon in the prefectural committee, so we will go directly to the conference room in the factory to talk about the actual work!"

"good!"

Yang Shaozong nodded cautiously to agree.

The group followed Yuan Jingfang, secretary of Ningzhou Prefectural Committee, to the conference room on the east side of the second floor of the factory office building. The place had been arranged long ago. Director Pang prepared for a whole day and prepared a very particular speech. He wanted to briefly report on the situation in the factory at this time and leave a little impression on Yuan Jingfang.

However, Yuan Jingfang obviously prefers the straightforward working method than Peng Yaonan.

As soon as he sat down in the conference room, Yuan Jingfang saved up a lot of unnecessary verbose words and asked Yang Shaozong directly: "Xiao Yang, Secretary Yuan is not a person who likes to talk nonsense. You will understand if you deal with me too much in the future. You should know very well about Ningzhou cold storage factory, and I also understand. Let's open the skylight and say something bright. The secretary only asked you one thing, does what you said to Cheng Xuguo that day count on?"

Yang Shaozong insisted: "Actuate the numbers, don't change any words!"

"good!"

Old Yuan said with a final say: "That's it, I like to be happy. The Ningzhou cold storage factory's affairs had proposed to solve it a few years ago. It will be solved for three years and three years. If it is delayed for another three years, it will become a garbage station. Xiao Yang, according to the conditions you mentioned, the Ningzhou Prefectural Committee can solve the three million foreign exchange retention indicators for your factory. You settle all the historical debts of the Ningzhou cold storage factory in one go. How much is the settlement amount? The Prefectural Committee will arrange for the municipal commercial bank to issue you a loan, which will not affect your normal production and operation. In addition, you are engaged in light industrial production in Ningzhou. The Prefectural Committee will give you a three-year preferential period. The profit and tax will be paid on the indicators of township enterprises. If you are indeed introducing equipment from Japan to make large investments, if there is a gap in funds, how much do you plan to invest, the Prefectural Committee will solve 1/3 for you."

Yuan Jingfang finished speaking in one go. This style of work really surprised Yang Shaozong. He had never had any dealings with Yuan Jingfang before, and had never heard of it much, but now he finally understood why Ningzhou had such a good development momentum 90 years ago.

In addition to coal mine resources and state support and investment in the machinery industry, Yuan Jingfang's thunder style of daring to act is definitely a very important reason.

Yang Shaozong simply said even more simply: "Secretary Yuan, since you support us so much, I will issue a military order here today. Within two years, I will make the output value of the Ningzhou branch of Qishan Meat Cotton Factory exceed 100 million yuan, and it will start from today. If our Qishan people break our promise, our Qishan Meat Cotton Factory is willing to pay the fine!"

Yuan Jingfang smiled happily and said, "Okay, I like young people with courage like you. You don't have to pay the fine. Do a good job in our Ningzhou. As long as you can achieve your promised goals within three years, our prefectural committee will give you more support and attention."

It is said that state-owned factories around the 1990s are easy to sell, but Yang Shaozong has never seen such an easy one. He just drew a big cake, and the situation of Ningzhou cold storage factory was bad enough.

One of the main reasons why state-owned factories were prone to selling at a low price in the early days was that the prefectural committee was the prefectural committee. The county committee was poor and could not sell land. How much money could they get by just tax sharing?

Although the local tax revenue share of Ningzhou Prefectural Committee is quite large, there are even more state-owned factories that are constantly losing money. If you make up for it here and there, you can't stand such trouble. If you can, you can take action.

After finalizing the transaction, Yuan Jing asked Yang Shaozong in detail about some specific ideas about the rectification of the cold storage factory. He did not leave the car and return to the prefectural committee for a meeting. Director Gu stayed to talk to Yang Shaozong about some details.

During the entire talks, Director Pang of the cold storage factory had almost no say. He was the prefectural committee, and he could only accept all this silently.

Yang Shaozong was also very efficient in his work. In the afternoon, he drew people from Qishan to conduct a comprehensive investigation at the Ningzhou cold storage factory, and the total debt was found to be 2.17 million yuan. Although it was said that they paid off the debt, Ningzhou Commercial Bank would make up for the new loan. In actual operation, the clearance amounted to suppress the money, which basically turned out to use Ningzhou Commercial Bank's new loan to repay the old accounts.

Yang Shaozong played a very beautiful empty-handed wolf in Ningzhou. Director Pang became the director of the branch factory, responsible for carrying out rectification in accordance with the requirements of the general factory.

Yang Shaozong, who had originally planned to go on a business trip for a whole week in Ningzhou before returning to Qishan. On the way back, he always lamented that there was such an opportunity in this era, and what he had seized before was just a drop in the bucket.

With Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory as a branch factory, the ham sausage project of Qishan Meat Union Factory can enter a larger scale expansion almost six months earlier than expected.
Chapter completed!
