Chapter 334 The golden pond where things are right and wrong
Jintang Hotel is the best hotel in Jintang City. When you walk into the lobby, you can see the artificial marble front desk, artificial leather sofas, and tacky large crystal chandeliers. By the standards of the year, it can be considered magnificent. You know.
Qin Hai arrived today. Heizi had already booked a room in advance. At this time, he took Qin Hai directly upstairs to the room.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think of the room? I can't help it, this is already the best hotel in Jintang, but the conditions still can't compare with Pujiang and Beijing." Heizi said apologetically while helping Qin Hai put things away.
Qin Hai looked at the whole room and saw that the furnishings in the room were a bit old. The tables and chairs were all made of solid wood, not like the artificial boards used in some high-end hotels; there were two fluorescent lamps hanging above the head, and
It's not a ceiling lamp; it's still the dial used on the phone.
, instead of the popular buttons... Five years ago, these facilities were pretty good. However, in the past five years, the domestic economy has developed rapidly, and various facilities have been updated, while Jintang Hotel is still using the same facilities as in the past.
The things naturally appear to be somewhat inferior.
"Heizi, do you think I care about this? Don't you remember what house we lived in when we went to Quwu to buy coal?" Qin Hai said with a smile.
Heizi also smiled. He had been following Qin Hai in the past few years and naturally knew that Qin Hai was not the kind of person who pursues luxury. The first time he went on a business trip with Qin Hai was to Quwu to buy coal. At that time, they lived in
In the cheapest guest house, there is a large room for eight people.
Now Qin Hai's net worth is high. When he travels to Beijing, Pujiang and other big cities, he stays in foreign-related hotels. The conditions are very superior. In comparison, Jintang Hotel seems too shabby. Qin Hai can
He claimed that he didn't care about these conditions, but as a follower, Heizi still had to show his dereliction of duty.
"Heizi, you have been in Jintang for a few days. What do you think of the current situation in Jintang?" Qin Hai sat down on the sofa and asked Heizi.
Heizi took a hot water bottle, took a bottle of water from the bathroom, and plugged in the "heat fast". He started to boil the water, then sat down on another sofa and replied: "The situation is very bad. I heard that there are seven
All the successful enterprises have stopped working, and even the cadres in the government agencies can only pay 80% of their wages."
"How could it be so bad?" Qin Hai asked.
Heizi said: "I have been following Factory Manager Liu these past few days and visited several companies. The situation of these companies is similar to the situation of the Hongguang Fiberglass Factory that the driver just mentioned. They are all due to the aging of the products and their lack of competitiveness.
Sales are seriously unsalable. Jintang is a chemical industry base, and many chemical plants have stopped working, and the city’s finances are also in trouble, so the entire city is in a very sluggish situation.”
"By the way, where is the Wang Songan we met in the past? Is he still in the Jintang Economic Committee?" Qin Hai asked again.
Heizi said: "Director Liu asked about Wang Songan's situation and heard that he has been transferred to another city. However, it turns out that Zeng Zhiqiang is still there, and it seems that he has been appointed as the deputy director of the Economic Commission."
Heizi was talking about Zeng Zhiqiang, whom Qin Hai had met once before. At that time, he was the head of the comprehensive section of the Jintang Economic Commission, and was specifically responsible for Qin Hai's and others' food, accommodation, transportation and other matters. He was also responsible for contacting Qin Hai and others on business matters.
It was Wang Songan, the director of the Economic Commission. Unfortunately, this person no longer works locally. Thinking of the confrontation he had with Wang Songan over cooperation matters back then, and then looking at the declining Jintang City, Qin Hai felt that things were different.
.
"Heizi, Director Liu has been in Jintang these days. What exactly have you been doing and have you achieved any results?" Qin Hai asked Heizi.
Heizi said: "Director Liu plans to find several chemical plants in Jintang for cooperation. I accompanied him to Jinnan Chemical Plant. I met Director Yu Kexiu. However, their discussion was not very speculative, and we did not discuss it in the end.
become."
Qin Hai asked: "No speculation? What's the reason?"
Heizi said: "Jinnan Chemical Factory is not operating well right now. Director Liu wants to rent their factory and workers for production. Director Yu means that Director Liu wants to hire out all the workers in the factory, including those who retire."
Workers are included. Factory Director Liu thought this condition was too excessive, so he refused."
In the early 1990s, the Bankruptcy Law had been implemented for several years, and state-owned enterprises began to go bankrupt in some places in the country and were merged by private enterprises. However, the turmoil in the first year caused some domestic policies to tighten, and the status of the private economy began to be affected.
Questioning, so the merger of private enterprises with state-owned enterprises is somewhat sensitive.
Liu Yaozhong came back to Jintang this time because he was prompted by Qin Hai. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Jintang's chemical companies were in operating difficulties and use a covert method to merge and acquire several companies as his own production base. Since it is
To hide the truth, naturally we cannot use the term merger and acquisition, but can only call it a cooperative operation. But when it comes to personnel arrangements after cooperation, the demands of both parties are very different.
For Liu Yaozhong, the purpose of his cooperation with state-owned enterprises is to develop his own production, so he only needs workers who can work. Naturally, he is unwilling to accept those who cannot work. As for retired workers,
That has nothing to do with Liu Yaozhong. How could he take care of the placement of retired workers at Jinnan Factory?
For Yu Kexiu, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. He has to take care of all the workers. He will never tolerate some workers being on duty and others being laid off. Retired workers also return to the factory to receive wages. If he wants to cooperate with Liu Yaozhong
, the wages of this part of retired workers must also be included in the scope of cooperation.
Jinnan Chemical Plant was established in the 1950s, and the workers who entered the factory gradually reached retirement age in the mid-to-late 1980s. A factory with more than 400 active workers has nearly 200 retired workers, which is almost
The burden of two working people supporting one retiree is enough to make a company unable to breathe.
Of course Liu Yaozhong refused to put this burden on his shoulders. He was here to make money, not charity. With this idea, he and Yu Kexiu naturally could not talk about going together, and they did not end up unhappy.
The scattered situation is already very good.
Qin Hai came here on a special trip after receiving a call from Liu Yaozhong saying that there was some trouble in Jintang. Now that Heizi had finished explaining the relevant details, he began to have a headache.
"Mr. Qin, I don't think we have to cooperate with companies like Jintang. There are many companies across the country that are under-employed. Maybe the conditions in some places will be better than Jintang." Heizi reminded.
Qin Hai asked: "What do you mean when you say better conditions?"
Heizi said: "At the very least, we can't be allowed to take care of their retired workers, right? We don't owe retired workers any money, so why should we take care of them?"
Qin Haidao: "If we want to annex their factories and ignore their retired workers, what will happen to these retired workers?"
"Go to the government." Heizi said.
Qin Hai sneered: "Do you think the government in a city like Jintang can manage these retired workers?"
"This..." Heizi was speechless. He had told Qin Hai before that Jintang's finances were also very tight. Even the salaries of government officials could not be paid in full, let alone the salaries of retired workers. Let the retired workers find it.
The government is actually no different than pushing them onto the street.
"Mr. Qin, you don't mean that we still have to take care of these retired workers, do you? Then our burden will be too heavy, and the gains outweigh the losses." Heizi said. When he said these words, he also hesitated in his heart. After all, he
I am also a son of a factory and mine, and I know how inhumane it is to push retired workers out.
Qin Haidao: "I know that if we carry retired workers on their backs, the burden will indeed be too heavy. But if we want to completely kick out retired workers, I guess neither the enterprise nor the city government will agree. Therefore, we must find a solution that has both ends."
policy."
"Director Liu means the same thing. He said he has no good solution and is just waiting for you to come up with a solution." Heizi said with a smile.
Qin Hai couldn't think of any good solution for the moment. He knew that in the next seven or eight years, not only Jintang City, but most state-owned enterprises in the entire country would face extremely serious operating difficulties, tens of millions of people
Many state-owned enterprise employees will face the fate of being laid off, and retired workers will also experience widespread wage arrears. Such a huge difficulty cannot be solved by Qin Hai alone.
The two chatted for a while, and it gradually became dark. The two left the room and were going to go to a restaurant on the street to have dinner. When they arrived at the hotel lobby, they met Liu Jie who was coming in a hurry.
"Isn't this Factory Director Liu?" Qin Hai took the initiative to greet him.
Liu Jie looked up and saw Qin Hai, his face was immediately filled with smiles, he stretched out his hands and strode towards Qin Hai, saying: "Oh, Xiao Qin, Secretary Qin... No, no, I should call you
President Qin, right?"
Qin Hai also stretched out his hand, shook it with Liu Jie, and said with a smile: "Director Liu is too unconventional. In front of you, I am just a junior. You can just call me Xiao Qin."
Liu Jie looked solemn and said: "How can this be done? I read in the newspaper about your merger with Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory a few years ago. I heard that your factory produces that kind of spray machine and earns several dollars a year.
Ten million. Let me just say, you, Mr. Qin, are not ordinary people, you are people who are doing great things. I just heard from our factory’s Master Li that you were staying at the Jintang Hotel, so I came over quickly. How are you, Mr. Qin?
, you haven’t eaten yet, I’ll be the host..."
Qin Hai did not correct the figures Liu Jie said. He earned tens of millions a year, which was already an amazing achievement for Liu Jie. Qin Hai did not want to say that the actual figure was dozens of times higher than this. He
He smiled and said to Liu Jie: "We haven't eaten yet, and we are just going to find a place to lay down some space. Now that Director Liu is here, we will find a more formal place, but I have to agree on one thing in advance.
