Chapter 337 Thinking about giving back to the society
Liu Jie drank the wine very happily and was already a bit drunk at the end. () He sent the driver Xiao Deng to pay the bill, but the waiter told him that Heizi had already gone to pay the bill quietly. Such a detail made Liu Jie
Jie felt Qin Hai's sincerity even more. He promised Qin Hai that he would contact Yu Kexiu and others the next day to discuss a plan to cooperate with Qin Hai, and then they would go to the city hall to discuss it.
When Qin Hai and Heizi returned to the hotel, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. Heizi went to Liu Yaozhong's room to check and saw that Liu Yaozhong had come back from outside, so he invited him to Qin Hai's room.
"Mr. Qin, you are here." Liu Yaozhong greeted Qin Hai politely. He was much older than Qin Hai, but in front of Qin Hai, he still acted like a subordinate.
"Director Liu, you have worked hard these days." Qin Hai quickly stood up and offered his seat. Heizi obediently made a cup of tea and brought it to Liu Yaozhong's side.
"I just heard from Xiaofu that Mr. Qin went to find Liu Jie from Hongguang Factory as soon as he came?" Liu Yaozhong nodded to Heizi to thank him and said to Qin Hai. Qin Hai had no intention of keeping it secret when he met Liu Jie.
Liu Yaozhong, so when Heizi went to invite Liu Yaozhong over just now, he had already briefly introduced the matter to Liu Yaozhong.
Qin Haidao: "When we came to the hotel from the train station, we happened to take a tricycle belonging to a laid-off worker from the Hongguang Factory. When Old Liu heard the news, he ran over."
"You, Mr. Qin, are so proud." Liu Yaozhong said with half compliment and half jealousy, "I asked these people to meet, but they were not so attentive. Now that they know Mr. Qin is here, they are so eager to run away.
coming."
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Haha, maybe it's because I know them first. After all, they still have some friendships. By the way, Lao Liu. How are you talking about here? Are there any companies suitable for cooperation?
?”
"It's not going too well." Liu Yaozhong said, "Liu Jie should have told you something, right? I found several factories, but we couldn't agree on the terms. They all hope that we can take over all their burdens. I'm very clear.
I’ve said it. I’m here to discuss cooperation. I can’t control the burden of this enterprise. If this happens, we won’t be able to negotiate together.”
"Is there nothing we can continue talking about?" Qin Hai asked.
Liu Yaozhong laughed at himself and said: "Of course not. Some factory directors are very talkative and can agree to any conditions. They even hinted to me that there are still some raw materials in the factory that I can dispose of. I've seen it. They just resell these.
You can also make a lot of money from raw materials.”
Qin Hai also smiled. Of course he knew that things would not be so simple. The factory directors who could lay out the conditions so well obviously had their own ideas. According to Liu Yaozhong's description, these factory directors were almost betraying the factory.
Benefit, as the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Sure enough, Liu Yaozhong continued: "But, I have no interest in these companies. Those factory directors only thought about their own interests, and they directly talked to me about kickbacks. They did not want to engage in cooperative production at all. And like this
I'm not sure about cooperation with factories."
"Your idea is right." Qin Hai affirmed, "With such a factory director, the atmosphere in the factory will not be much better. If you cooperate with this kind of enterprise, you will definitely have troubles in the future."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Qin is absolutely right." Liu Yaozhong nodded repeatedly, "I think so too, so I won't touch such a factory. In contrast, Lao Yu's Jinnan Chemical Plant is indeed
Not bad. Although the equipment is a bit old, it is well maintained and the workers are of high quality, skilled and disciplined. They are a good partner.”
"If that's the case, what's the difficulty?" Qin Hai asked knowingly.
Liu Yaozhong said: "I have learned that there are more than 400 employees in this factory, and more than 100 of them are idlers who cannot do much. In addition, they also have more than 200 retired workers, and their monthly pension is also a sum.
It’s a huge expense. Yu Kexiu hopes that I can manage all current and retired workers. I only want the more than 200 workers who can do things, and I don’t want the rest of the idle staff. As for retired workers, and
It doesn't matter to me, I definitely won't care.
"Although I just arrived in Jintang today, the situation in Jintang seems not very optimistic when I see it. So many laid-off workers rely on riding tricycles to make a living. How can there be so many customers? I heard them say that these
The living conditions of laid-off workers are very tight." Qin Hai suddenly seemed to be talking about something else.
Liu Yaozhong has known Qin Hai for many years and has some understanding of Qin Hai's way of thinking and values. He could hear the subtext in Qin Hai's words and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. Qin, don't you want to be a good person again?
Bar?"
Qin Hai smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with being a good person. I have also been in a factory and know the hardships of workers. Especially those retired workers who have dedicated their lives to the company. If they get old, they will not get pensions.
, my old age is really too miserable.”
"However, this matter should be handled by the government." Liu Yaozhong argued.
Qin Haidao: "It is impossible for the government to create money out of thin air. The government's money is not taxes paid by enterprises? In any case, we are the first to get rich. When we can help others, we should try our best to help others.
Right. Running a business is not only about making money, but also about giving back to society."
Liu Yaozhong was silent. He remembered that Qin Hai helped him in this way when Dongyao Plastic Factory was in trouble. Qin Hai had never met him at that time, and he injected funds into Dongyao Plastic Factory out of good intentions.
He also helped them develop new products, and that's how Liu Yaozhong became what he is today. At this time, Qin Hai proposed to help companies like Jintang, but Liu Yaozhong couldn't find a reason to refuse.
In fact, when Liu Yaozhong was discussing with Yu Kexiu, it was not that he had not evaluated the cost of taking over all the retired workers of Jinnan Factory. For more than 200 retired workers, based on a monthly pension of 50 yuan per person, one
The monthly cost is more than 10,000 yuan. If he can cooperate with Jinnan Factory, the additional cost of more than 10,000 yuan is not a big burden.
Previously, he was unwilling to bear this burden because it didn't concern him. But after Qin Hai said this, he felt that there was nothing wrong with shouldering this burden. At the very least, he could be a philanthropic person.
reputation, which is also helpful for his in-depth cooperation with Jinnan Factory.
"Mr. Qin, I understand what you mean. I will go and talk to Lao Yu tomorrow. By the way, since Mr. Qin has also come to Jintang, let's talk together." Liu Yaozhong said.
Qin Hai waved his hand and said, "No rush, let's wait until Liu Jie gets in touch with us before discussing this matter."
Then, he reported to Liu Yaozhong the situation of today's discussion with Liu Jie. Liu Yaozhong said in surprise: "Mr. Qin, do you want to do something big in Jintang?"
Qin Haidao: "Now that we are here, we can't just talk about a Jinnan chemical plant. Jintang's chemical industry has a certain foundation, and the equipment and workers are ready. If you make good use of it, you can build a chemical materials base. In fact,
We can't keep those idle workers you mentioned in vain. They also have two hands and we need to let them do something they can do.
The national economic situation has not been very good in the past two years, but this situation will soon change. We must seize this opportunity to revitalize these enterprises and at the same time firmly control them in our own hands. When the national economy begins to fully
When it recovers, these companies can become a cornucopia of wealth."
As a time traveler, Qin Hai is very familiar with the country's overall economic trend. He knows that in the first two years of the 1990s, the domestic market was weak and companies stopped production on a large scale, and the situation was very bad. But after his speech on the southern tour,
The country's economy will return to the fast lane and enter a 30-year period of rapid growth. As China gradually becomes the "world's factory", domestic demand for raw materials will surge. What he is doing now
Everything is a precautionary measure.
Liu Yaozhong was very convinced of Qin Hai's vision. Nowadays, many private entrepreneurs have doubts about the country's policies and dare not invest easily. But Qin Hai told Liu Yaozhong that the country's policies will only become more and more conducive to the private economy.
development, the so-called policy "reduction" is just a baseless folk rumor. Liu Yaozhong came to Jintang to discuss cooperation precisely because he believed in Qin Hai's judgment. Based on Qin Hai's
Meaning, what we are talking about now is cooperation, and when the policy becomes more relaxed, mergers can be carried out.
"Mr. Qin, tell me what to do, and I will fully cooperate with you." Liu Yaozhong expressed his loyalty to Qin Hai.
Qin Haidao: "Let's wait for Liu Jie's arrangement. After all, he is an old man from Jintang and we are very familiar with him. Let's wait until he helps us connect the line and then we can proceed."
In the next two days, Liu Jie helped Qin Hai contact the leaders of seven or eight companies. Different from the last time Qin Hai came to investigate, this time the leaders of these companies took the initiative to come to the city to negotiate with Qin Hai, eliminating the need for
Qin Hai struggled to travel around the suburbs of Jintang. Qin Hai learned from these factory directors and managers about the operating status of the companies under their jurisdiction, and also discussed the cooperation model with them. Due to Qin Hai's openness and honesty, the discussion between the two parties was very in-depth and also
Several key points were agreed upon when communicating with the city government.
While contacting the companies, Liu Jie also began to lobby the city government. With so many companies in Jintang suspending work and production, the city government was already full of lawsuits. Hearing that some wealthy private investors were coming to cooperate with companies in Jintang, the city government
All departments are very proactive and want to get rid of these burdens as soon as possible.
Three days later, Liu Jie came to inform Qin Hai that Shen Chuanming, the deputy mayor in charge of Jintang City, expressed his intention to meet with Qin Hai. Also participating in the meeting were leaders of several competent departments in the city, as well as Liu Jie,
According to Shen Chuanming, Yu Kexiu and other business leaders said that this is a tripartite meeting, and the focus is to solve the management problems of various state-owned enterprises. (To be continued...)
