Li Wenjun knew that he had been annoyed recently, but he was not angry. He leaned back, tapped the armrest of the sofa with his finger and said calmly: "The mining area won't be able to pay wages this month, right?"
Li Wenyong frowned quickly and remained silent.
He was not surprised at all that Li Wenjun knew about this, because several steel mills now have extremely good relations with Li Wenjun. Li Wenjun found out this matter after just a few inquiries.
Li Wenjun smiled and said: "The mining area is not very profitable, and it has to carry so many useless workshops and purely welfare facilities, so it is very difficult. What you don't need happens to be what I need. You rent the land that you can't use
Give it to me, the mining area can operate normally, isn't it a win-win situation?"
Li Wenyong said coldly: "Don't say it so grandly, just say you are interested in that piece of land."
Li Wenjun had a headache. His brother was promoted too quickly and had not been tested in various positions like Chen Keji and Guo Jianguang, so he was far from as smooth as Chen Keji and others.
His style is too tough and direct, and he doesn't know how to bend at all.
This was in a mining area, and he was supporting me, so it was okay.
If you go to a factory outside and are not suppressed by the leadership, it would be strange for your comrades to dig holes and frame you.
Li Wenjun said: "The machine repair shops are very old. And now you don't even work underground, and there are no machines left in the machine repair shop to repair. At most, the circuit maintenance is done. So I want to rent that area."
The few remaining people in the machine repair shop can just move to the workshop near the mine."
Li Wenyong pursed his lips and said nothing.
It has been more than 20 years since the mine was built. The conditions at that time were poor, and the workshops were built with red bricks. They were exposed to wind and rain, but it is already very impressive that it can last for 20 years.
Although the machine repair shop miraculously survived the earthquake, it will definitely collapse before too long.
Not only machine repair workshops, many workshops have become dilapidated buildings.
Li Wenyong also knew that it was time to rebuild, but unfortunately he had no money.
When the time comes, the machine repair shop collapses and he has no money to repair it, so the land will be left vacant.
Moreover, there is indeed no work to do in the machine repair shop. So several squad leaders applied for leave without pay to work for Li Wenjun. Only two or three people were left here and they were usually idle.
And at that time, large vehicles were considered for access, so there was a lot of open space in the front and rear. This kind of workshop is like the appendix on the body, it is of no great use, and it seems a pity to cut it off.
Across the open space is the technical school. Li Wenjun must have wanted to use it to build a technical school.
Li Wenjun said: "I will give you 100 yuan a year and rent out the entire machine repair shop including the front and back, as well as the warehouse. The lease will be for 70 years. I will move the building to the workshop and build other factories."
This piece of land is not as big as the previous wasteland in Yuanjia Village, at most one and a half hectares. The price Li Wenjun gave, according to the previous agreement, is considered very good.
Anyway, if it is idle, it is idle. If you can get back one hundred yuan a year, wouldn't you be able to pay three people a month's salary?
Li Wenjun said: "In fact, no rent was paid for the land where the villa was built, which is very unreasonable. Let's talk about it together this time."
This is true, but he lives in the villa for free and collects rent from Li Wenjun, which is a bit unreasonable no matter how you look at it.
But in order to raise money to pay wages to the workers, he couldn't control that much.
Li Wenjun naturally understood what he was thinking.
In fact, Li Wenyong was not doing it for himself, so Li Wenjun not only pitied him but also admired him.
He is an upright and responsible brother...
Li Wenjun sighed softly: "Okay. I will give you two hundred and one years for that piece of land. One payment for five years. The land for the workshop will also be paid for five years at one time. The total is one thousand five hundred yuan. Counting from today.
"
One thousand five hundred yuan is enough to make up for the gap in this month's salary and there is still a surplus.
He doesn't care about what he will do in the next four years now.
Li Wenyong nodded: "Okay. Now sign the contract and pay."
Li Wenjun took out a sealed contract, filled in the location of the land and the amount, and then signed and fingerprinted it.
Li Wenyong also signed, sealed and pressed his fingerprints.
Li Wenjun took out a pile of money from the briefcase he carried with him, ordered fifty more unity bills, and put them on the table together: "Fifteen hundred yuan. You order."
Li Wenyong said: "No, thank you. But I want to make it clear to you that this contract must be submitted to the Municipal Mining Bureau for filing before it can take effect. Of course, generally speaking, there will be no problem."
The Mining Bureau is also aware of the current situation of the pyrite. The Mining Bureau is already doing a great job because the pyrite does not require an increase in subsidies and can be responsible for its own profits and losses. How can it stop Li Wenyong from renting out a piece of land for such a small thing.
Besides, this isn't the first time.
Li Wenjun nodded: "Okay, then you can ask the machine repair shop to transport the equipment as soon as possible. I will use it soon."
In fact, he didn't have to rent the land for the machine repair shop. It was just that the house looked like it was going to collapse and it was very close to them, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
I happened to know that Li Wenyong could not pay his salary, so he came over.
Li Wenyong put away the contract and asked: "Do you still want the stones in the mine?"
I originally thought that if I dug out the ore vein, I wouldn't have to take advantage of Li Wenjun, but it still doesn't work now.
Li Wenjun said: "Yes, but not so much. Just two cars a month. You can start delivering them to us this month."
Li Wenyong nodded: "Okay."
Even two cars a month can cover more than half of people's wages.
Li Wenjun pursed his lips and said after a while: "Not even a normal factory can bear carrying such a big burden..."
He spoke very cryptically and did not mention layoffs.
The problem of overstaffing in mining areas has long existed.
Take the agency and logistics side, four or five out of ten people do not work but only eat.
There used to be three mine managers, but now there is only one mine manager, Li Wenyong, and the operation is still going well. This shows that the configuration of the three mine managers is unreasonable.
If it were his company, he would streamline his staff and streamline his administration and lay off people early on.
But this was not his business, so he couldn't say anything. But seeing that his brother was working so hard, he couldn't help but give him a tactful reminder.
Li Wenyong sighed softly: "I know, but if we lay them off, where can they go?"
Li Wenjun knew that his feelings for the mining area would only be deeper than his, and he couldn't bear to tell him that by the time the mining area went bankrupt, these people would be a few years older and it would be even harder to find a job. Tolerating them now may not be for their own good.
.
He turned to leave, but Li Wenyong called him from behind: "Master Jun, thank you."
Li Wenjun stood still, turned around and grinned: "Brother, you don't have to be so polite."
He walked out coolly.
Li Wenyong, however, stared blankly in the direction in which Li Wenjun disappeared.
He knew that he was robbing Li Wenjun and draining Li Wenjun's feelings for him, but there was no way. He was carrying the livelihood of thousands of employees.
A few thousand yuan is just a fraction of what Li Wenjun has, but it is the monthly living expenses for many families.
