Three hundred and thirtieth eight chapters dump each other's burden
Shen Chuanming is a young official in his early 40s. He speaks and acts in a vigorous and resolute manner. Even when he is sitting there quietly, there is a bit of majesty in his expression, which makes people look at him with a sense of awe. .
When Qin Hai, Liu Yaozhong and Heizi walked into the conference room under the guidance of the Jintang Municipal Government staff, they saw that Yu Kexiu, Liu Jie and others had already arrived. These unrestrained business leaders who usually like to fight and fight , seemed a bit reserved at this time, which made Qin Hai feel a little strange. He followed everyone's gaze and saw Shen Chuanming sitting in the middle of the conference table.
"This is Mr. Qin from Anhe, welcome." Shen Chuanming stood up, walked around the conference table, came to Qin Hai and others, and extended his hand to them.
Qin Hai stretched out his hand to shake hands with Shen Chuanming. At the moment of shaking hands, he felt that Shen Chuanming's hand was warm and strong. When he shook his hand, he added a little more strength, as if to convey something. A firm confidence.
"Mayor Shen, I've admired you for a long time." Qin Hai nodded slightly and greeted Shen Chuanming. He was not from Jintang City and had nothing to ask of Shen Chuanming, so he was not timid in front of Shen Chuanming's majesty. Meaning. Strictly speaking, Shen Chuanming is the one who seeks Qin Hai. This is what people often say: the rich are the bosses.
The two parties briefly exchanged greetings before taking their seats. On Shen Chuanming's side were officials from several departments of the city government, including Zeng Zhiqiang, whom Qin Hai had known in the past and who is currently the deputy director of the Economic Commission. On Qin Hai's side was Heizi. He and Liu Yaozhong seemed a bit weak. Yu Kexiu and other business leaders sat on both sides, filling the empty seats on both sides.
"I heard that Mr. Qin came to our Jintang this time and was interested in cooperating with our Jintang companies. I wonder if he has any specific intentions." Shen Chuanming pointed out the theme of the meeting straight to the point.
Qin Haidao: "Mayor Shen has so many things to do all day long, but he still pays attention to a little bit of commercial activities carried out by our company in Jintang. It really makes me feel honored. I come to Jintang this time to represent Pujiang Dongyao Plastic Factory and Pujiang Haijie Technology Company, our two units have developed some new chemical materials and want to find partners to jointly produce them. Jintang is a famous chemical industry base, so Director Liu and I want to select several companies in Jintang for in-depth cooperation. .”
"Our chemical industry in Jintang has a very good foundation. Director Yu and Director Liu are all experienced old workers. Jintang's enterprises have good equipment and good quality workers. I believe they will be able to satisfy Mr. Qin and Liu." Is it the factory director's request?" Shen Chuanming said in a calm tone.
Unlike some other local officials Qin Hai had contact with, Shen Chuanming did not flatter investors because he was eager to attract investment. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he always had some airs, which seemed to imply that Qin Hai: I have enough confidence and will not lose my principles.
Qin Hai had heard from Liu Jie and others before that Shen Chuanming was extremely conceited. He always acted in a pretentious manner. This was no longer a negotiation skill, but purely due to his nature. At the same time, Qin Hai also knew that Shen Chuanming actually didn't have any real confidence. So many companies that had stopped production had already made him miserable. His biggest idea now was to get rid of these burdens.
Thinking of this, Qin Hai smiled and said: "Mayor Shen is right, Jintang's chemical industry foundation is indeed good. This is also the reason why we came to Jintang. However, the foundation is the foundation, and the status quo is the status quo. In the factory Director, Factory Director Liu and their companies are currently facing less than ideal conditions, with outdated equipment and backward technology. Although some of the workers have good skills, there are also quite a few who have neither, that is, no education and no education. Technically, such employees are really not of much use to us."
Shen Chuanming's face sank slightly and said: "Mr. Qin's words are a bit harsh, aren't they? Our companies have only encountered some temporary difficulties. According to Mr. Qin's statement, they have become useless. Isn't this a total denial? Are you aware of the work of Director Yu, Director Liu and the others?"
Qin Hai shook his head and said: "I don't mean to deny the factory directors. The current difficulties encountered by Jintang's chemical companies are not due to war crimes, but to problems with the entire policy environment. Hongguang Factory and Jinnan Factory have been in trouble in the past. They have contributed so much profits and taxes to the country, but they have not received any feedback from the country. These companies are still using equipment from the 1960s and 1970s. How can they be competitive?
In addition, the old employees of these enterprises have created a lot of wealth for the country, but the country has not saved pensions for them, so now their pensions can only come from the enterprises, and the enterprises are overwhelmed. These are not just a few The problems that the factory director can solve are problems that the country should step forward to solve."
The situations mentioned by Qin Hai could not be denied by Shen Chuanming. He could only avoid Qin Hai's sharp remarks and said: "The national policy is not something that we in Jintang City can control. Even if the situations that Mr. Qin mentioned are beyond our control, It is real and we can’t solve it now. So, I think we should talk about some problems that can be solved.”
Qin Hai said: "The real problem is very simple. We hope to cooperate with these companies for production. If possible, we want to merge these companies. However, there are overstaffed employees in the company and retired employees in the company. Workers, we hope the city can help solve this problem."
"Mr. Qin, isn't this inappropriate?" Liu Jie spoke at the right time, "What do you mean by overstaffed employees? I admit that some employees in our factory are indeed, as Mr. Qin said, uneducated and unskilled. But they have also contributed to the factory, so how can they be kicked away?"
"Director Liu is right. We must treat our employees equally. There are also retired workers, which our factory must take care of. If Mr. Qin feels that these people are a burden, then we would rather not cooperate." Yu Kexiu also said. He said with a look of indignation.
This conversation was actually a double act that Qin Hai had discussed with Liu Jie, Yu Kexiu and others, with the purpose of forcing Shen Chuanming's bottom line. Qin Hai's request was in line with the nature of an investor, unless He is someone who knows him very well, otherwise he would never have heard that he was bluffing and retreating in order to advance. In fact, he does not intend to abandon the remaining personnel and retired workers in these factories, but he needs Shen Chuanming to give him A promise.
Shen Chuanming frowned and said: "Mr. Qin wants to merge our company. Within the scope allowed by the policy, we will not obstruct it. However, Mr. Qin wants to eliminate the employees in the company and also wants to retire the workers." It would be inappropriate to leave everything to the city government.”
“There is nothing inappropriate about socializing pensions,” Qin Hai said. “It has been four years since the Bankruptcy Law was promulgated. State-owned enterprises can go bankrupt if they become insolvent. Once an enterprise goes bankrupt, employees can Find another job, seek self-employment, and retirees must have their pension responsibilities borne by the society. The country is also establishing an employee pension insurance system. The pension itself of retired workers should be borne by the government, so why should it be passed on to enterprises?"
"However, we did not draw pension insurance funds from the enterprise in the past, and now we suddenly push these retired workers to the government. How can the government have the money to pay them retirement wages?" Shen Chuanming retorted.
"This is no longer our business." Qin Hai spread his hands and said, "If I take over these enterprises, I can ensure that the pension insurance of the current employees is paid in full, but those retired workers in the past have nothing to do with me. As for that The government did not withdraw pension insurance funds for them in the past, so this responsibility shouldn’t fall on us, right?”
"Mr. Qin, you can't say it like that." Zeng Zhiqiang interrupted at the side. Originally, when Shen Chuanming was speaking, other lower-level officials did not dare to interrupt casually, but Zeng Zhiqiang saw that Shen Chuanming was speechless by Qin Hai, So he quickly came out to rescue him.
"Mr. Qin, old employees have not withdrawn their pensions. This is determined by past policies. We are not the only one in Jintang who is like this. If, as Mr. Qin said, the prerequisite for our cooperation is that you transfer all retired workers to the municipal government. , then why do we in Jintang need to cooperate with you, Mr. Qin?" Zeng Zhiqiang asked.
Qin Hai smiled faintly and said: "As far as I know, the Hongguang Factory and Jinnan Factory have stopped production. Not to mention retired workers, even the wages of current workers are borne by the city, and the city We still can’t get a penny of tax revenue. If these companies can cooperate with us, at least we can solve the salary problem of some employees and provide tax revenue to the city. Does Director Zeng think it’s worthless?”
"This... this is of course valuable, but... Mr. Qin, you have worked in the Automobile Localization Office in the past and are also a national cadre. You should be more considerate of our government's difficulties, right?" Zeng Zhiqiang couldn't find a reason to refute, so he just He was able to talk about feelings with Qin Hai. In this case, he could tell it. Shen Chuanming was not willing to be so humble under any circumstances.
"It is also what our companies should do to be considerate of the government's difficulties." Qin Hai said, "However, we have been considerate of the government's difficulties. Can the government also be considerate of our difficulties? For example, can the government not impose too much on our companies? We have the obligation not to interfere with the operation of our company. These requirements are not too high, right?"
"I'm afraid Mr. Qin doesn't know much about Jintang, right?" Shen Chuanming found the topic and said sternly: "Our Jintang Municipal Government has always insisted on safeguarding the business autonomy of enterprises, and has never allocated money to enterprises indiscriminately, let alone They will interfere in the operation of the company. Therefore, the worries Mr. Qin mentioned are unnecessary in our Jintang."
"Are what Director Liu, Director Yu, and Mayor Shen said true?" Qin Hai turned to Liu Jie and Yu Kexiu and asked with a smile. (To be continued...)
