Chapter 335 The phoenix that fluffs is not as good as the chicken
Qin Hai, Heizi and Liu Jie left the hotel together. Liu Jie raised his hand and waved, and a jeep came out of nowhere and stopped in front of them...Liu Jie gestured and said, "
Come on, come on, Mr. Qin, you sit in the front."
In the minds of many local cadres, the front passenger seat of a car is a more distinguished position and has always been reserved for leaders or VIPs. Of course, a truly "classy" big boss will not sit in this position.
, this position should belong to the secretary or bodyguard. Qin Hai did not accept Liu Jie's kindness, but said with a smile: "Director Liu, let's sit in the back together. We can chat and let Heizi sit in the front."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Qin invites you first." Liu Jie opened the back door diligently, asked Qin Hai to get in the car first, and then got into the car himself.
A few small actions made Qin Hai feel something strange. When he last returned to Jintang, although people like Yu Kexiu and Liu Jie also called him leaders one by one, in his heart, he felt that they were like
A few people don't have much respect, and some details especially show contempt. But this time, Qin Hai can see that Liu Jie's humility to him comes from the heart. Maybe Liu Jie doesn't
There is nothing that needs to be asked of him, but psychologically, Liu Jie is already in a weak position.
A phoenix that has lost its feathers is not as good as a chicken. As the saying goes, it is absolutely true.
The driver drove the jeep through the streets of Jintang. It was evening, and the lighted signs of the shops on both sides of the road were already on. From a distance, it looked like a feasting scene. One human-powered tricycle after another
Passing by the jeep, the hunched figure of the tricycle driver formed a sharp contrast with the street scene.
Sitting in the car, they couldn't talk about any serious topics. Qin Hai and Liu Jie could only talk about popular gossip. Liu Jie asked emphatically about Qin Hai's achievements in the past few years, but Qin Hai didn't want to reveal too much.
.I just briefly talked about the thermal spray machine and emphasized that the cost of this thing is very high, so the profit is very thin.
The car drove for more than ten minutes and stopped in front of a restaurant with an inconspicuous appearance. Liu Jie opened the door and got out of the car, then waved Qin Hai out of the car and introduced at the same time: "Mr. Qin. Look, we
How about choosing this restaurant? This restaurant doesn’t look like much, but it is the most unique restaurant in Jintang.”
Qin Hai took a closer look and saw that this restaurant was indeed not of high quality, and it could be considered a home-cooked restaurant. Considering the current situation of the Hongguang Fiberglass Factory that he had heard the tricycle driver introduce before, Qin Hai could understand that even if Liu Jie was a
The factory director didn't dare to entertain guests in a place that was too high-end, so he could only make do with it here.
Thinking of this, Qin Hai smiled slightly and said: "Haha, when you go to a place, you have to eat unique things. The decoration and decoration are all fake."
Liu Jie quickly agreed: "Mr. Qin is absolutely right. We don't care about the ostentation. The main thing is to have a special meal."
The two of them laughed tacitly. They pushed the door open and entered the restaurant. Heizi and Liu Jie's driver followed them and also walked in. There were not many people eating in the restaurant, so the waiter took them to a table by the window.
I sat down and was handed a simple menu.
Liu Jie was obviously quite familiar with this restaurant. After being polite to Qin Hai, he skillfully ordered six dishes and ordered local liquor. He asked the waiter to hurry up and serve the wine and dishes.
"Mr. Qin, we haven't seen each other for three years, right?" Liu Jie asked Qin Hai while waiting for the food to be served.
"More than three years ago, the last time we met was during the Pujiang Pusang Automotive Materials Bidding event," Qin Hai said.
Hearing Qin Hai mention the Pusang Automobile, Liu Jie looked frustrated and said: "Oh, Mr. Qin, if you don't mention the Pusang Automobile, it doesn't matter to me. When you mention it, I really wipe my neck with my heart.
Yes. I remember that at the beginning, you, Mr. Qin, earnestly advised us to cooperate with the Automobile Localization Office to produce automobile materials. We were so obsessed with lard that we actually mistook your Mr. Qin’s kindness as a donkey’s liver and lungs. I remember you warned us at that time.
We said in a few years that we would definitely regret it, but look at it now, don’t we regret it?”
Qin Hai came to Jintang not to listen to Liu Jie's confession. He smiled and said: "No one could have predicted the changes in the market. I just said it casually at the time, but I didn't expect it to come true now.
By the way, Director Liu, I heard that the situation at Hongguang Factory is not very good right now, can you introduce it to me?"
"What are you introducing? We have stopped working." Liu Jie said, "Our products have been manufactured consistently for decades without innovation. In addition, the equipment is aging, the production scale is small, and the cost is high. It is simply not comparable to those in Beijing and Pujiang.
For large enterprises, the factory has been out of business for more than half a year now, and workers’ wages are maintained entirely by bank loans.”
"Is the same situation happening with the factory director?" Qin Hai asked.
"Who? Yu Kexiu?" Liu Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Qin Hai only knew Yu Kexiu, the factory director named Yu in Jintang. He said: "The situation over there at Lao Yu is not as good as mine.
Well. Our factory has a storefront in the city, and now it is rented out to people from the south for business, and we can still collect some rent for a year. Look at the gas in my car, and the money to treat Mr. Qin to dinner, all of which can be taken from this.
It’s paid out of the rent. Lao Yu doesn’t have any living money there, and even Lao Yu himself is about to ride a three-wheeler to earn money.”
"The city doesn't care?" Qin Hai asked again.
Liu Jie said: "How does the city manage it? There are so many companies in the city, but few are making money, and almost 70% to 80% have stopped working. The city has set up a loss reduction and efficiency improvement office, but the products of our companies are not competitive.
No office can bring us back to life."
When he said this, the waiter brought the wine and food. Liu Jie's driver looked at him, grabbed the wine bottle, and poured wine for Qin Hai and Liu Jie first, and then poured wine for Heizi. He himself
Because I had to drive, I couldn't drink. I just poured some boiled water into the wine glass so that I could accompany everyone while they drank.
Liu Jie waited for the driver to finish pouring the wine, picked up the glass, and said: "Mr. Qin, and Xiao Fu, I would like to toast you first and welcome you to Jintang as a guest. The food and wine are simple, but my heart is sincere.
Yes, I won’t say anything unnecessary, just do it first out of respect.”
Seeing his politeness, Qin Hai quickly picked up the wine glass and drank the wine together with Liu Jie. Before Liu Jie could get the wine glass, Heizi had already taken the wine bottle and filled Liu Jie's glass.
Next, it was naturally Qin Hai's turn to toast, followed by Heizi. Seeing this, Liu Jie's driver also gestured to everyone with his cup filled with boiled water, which was considered a formality.
After a few glasses of wine, Liu Jie's face turned slightly red. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he asked Qin Hai: "Mr. Qin, when you came to Jintang this time, did you take a fancy to our companies?"
Take this opportunity to grab some bargains?"
"Where did you start talking about this?" Qin Hai said with a smile, "I only arrived at Jintang this afternoon, how did Director Liu know my purpose?"
Liu Jie squinted his eyes and said: "Mr. Qin, we are old acquaintances. Why are you hiding such a thing from me? It's true that you have just arrived in Jintang, but Xiao Fu followed some kind of factory director Liu some time ago.
Lao Yu, this matter can't be hidden from my eyes. I heard from Lao Yu that Director Liu seems to have something to do with you, how could you not know what he is doing in Jintang?"
Qin Haidao: "Director Liu and I are considered partners, but he came to Jintang after discussing it with me. Director Liu, I heard that Director Liu and Director Yu didn't have a pleasant conversation. You know
Why?"
"Didn't Xiao Fu follow Director Liu all the time? He didn't tell you?" Liu Jie asked.
Qin Hai shook his head: "Xiaofu is not responsible for business operations at my place. He mainly helps me handle some administrative matters, so he doesn't know much about what Director Liu and Director Yu talked about."
Qin Hai's words are naturally not true. Heizi looks like a little follower doing errands, but in fact he sees many things very clearly. Regarding the differences between Liu Yaozhong and Yu Kexiu, Heizi has also reported to Qin Hai
Yes. However, Qin Hai wanted to hear Liu Jie's opinion on the matter, so he concealed Heizi's role.
Liu Jie somewhat believed Qin Hai's words. He sighed and said, "Oh, this guy Lao Yu is too honest. He insisted on asking Director Liu to take over the lives of all the workers in Jinnan Factory.
Even retired workers are no exception. How can there be such a good thing? Retired workers have sacrificed their lives for the country, not for your private boss. Which private boss is willing to accept these retired workers? "
"What, if you take over the factory, can you ignore the retired workers?" Qin Hai asked keenly.
Liu Jie said: "In the past, several southerners came to Jintang and purchased several state-owned factories. Their method was to keep all the useful workers and ignore the useless ones. As for retired workers, they were directly handed over to the municipal government.
Already."
"The city government won't care about it. My sister-in-law's parents are retired workers from those factories, and their pensions haven't been paid for more than a year. They are preparing to go to the city hall to cause trouble in the past two days." The driver interrupted.
.The rules between leaders and subordinates in state-owned enterprises are not so strict. When leaders are chatting, it is normal for subordinates to interrupt.
Qin Hai turned to the driver and asked, "Is this their first time to make trouble?"
The driver said: "No, there have been several troubles in the past. Every time there was a trouble, the city would reissue a few months' payment, but it was said to be a few months' payment, which is equivalent to the past month's payment. The city said
It’s 30% every month.”
"If this continues, it's not a long-term solution." Qin Hai said.
Liu Jie sneered and said: "What long-term solution can I think of now? If I can delay it for a month, it will be a month. If I were Lao Yu, I would definitely not bother with retired workers. How many people can Director Liu manage?
How many people should be taken care of first? Then there will be fewer people left, and wouldn’t it be easier to ask for money from the market?” (To be continued...)
ps: In order to make room to welcome foreign friends, Chengzi decided to leave Beijing tomorrow. I can only do one update today, and I will prepare to code in the hotel tomorrow...
