Chapter 489: The Soda Drink Factory Engages in Contracting System
Concrete floor, ordinary whitewashed wall, in the middle of the wall hangs a photo of Taiyang working seriously, with two pre-recorded words written with a brush on both sides. On the left is "The world is afraid of the word 'serious'" and on the right is "Corruption and
Waste is a great sin."
The rectangular conference table also looks old. The most expensive thing in the whole room is probably the air conditioner that is panting hard and working hard.
After Senior Official Zheng sat down, he picked up the tea cup and took two sips:
"Mr. Guo, things are really hard and simple here for you."
He never expected that Guoji Food's office area would be so shabby.
I remember that Guoji's overall performance last year was very good, with revenue exceeding 50 million, ranking second among private companies in their district.
Wang Lidong said: "I'm not afraid of senior official Zheng's jokes. Although our company's products sell well, the profit is very low.
The main reason is that the costs are very high.
Senior Officer Zheng also visited the workshop just now. The cost of sanitation in our factory alone is almost 3 million per year.
The production process is entirely manual.
Now Guo Ji's subsidiaries have more than 1,200 employees, and their monthly salary alone is 400,000 yuan, which is more than 5 million yuan a year.
There are also other miscellaneous expenses. Once settled at the end of the year, there will not be a few copper coins left in the account.
So save what you can, and save what you can.”
Senior official Zheng smiled.
Wang Lidong's words were obviously a cry for poverty, but he could understand it.
The earthquake has just passed, and the superiors are still discussing where to go. Maybe Zheng Ce will change again tomorrow.
"Mr. Guo, how was the sales of your Guoji Foods in the first half of this year?"
Wang Lidong replied: "In the first half of this year, Guoji Food's sales just exceeded 30 million, reaching 31.05 million."
As for Guoji Condiments and the revenue of Guoji Farm, no one asked, so he didn’t say anything. Only by keeping a low profile can you last long. Even after 1992, making money in silence is still the mainstream. In Sihai Country, anyone
Don't be too showy at all times, otherwise you will be sent to the slaughterhouse sooner or later and have a knife.
Senior official Zheng said with some disappointment that the growth rate was not even the slightest bit different from last year.
He smiled again and realized that his requirements were a bit high. After all, the capital is so big, and there is always an upper limit on the market capacity for things like cooked food.
"You can consider introducing advanced assembly lines. If you don't have enough funds, you can consider bank loans."
Wang Lidong nodded and said: "I will consider this aspect. If necessary, I will trouble Senior Official Zheng."
Senior official Zheng smiled, and the bank would definitely not refuse a high-quality enterprise like Guoji, and he would be happy to do a favor.
"On the first floor of the newly opened entertainment city not far away, there is a restaurant called Golden Arches Buffet. I heard it is opened by Mr. Guo?"
"Yes, it has only been open for less than two weeks."
"Will you open a chain store in the future, like America's Qiandai restaurant?"
Wang Lidong nodded and said: "The conditions are not mature yet, but we have this plan in the future.
"I went to eat at your Golden Arch Gate with my granddaughter. My granddaughter liked it very much. She said it was several times more delicious than that one." Senior official Zheng took a sip of tea and continued: "But, the little guy is a little bit
Complained, saying they only had orange water and lemonade, and the taste was average.”
"In this regard, we have been thinking of ways." Wang Lidong complained: "The main reason is that the price of drinks now is really not cheap. The purchase price of drinks such as Coke costs more than 2 cents a bottle. If we really want to provide them, the restaurant really can't afford them.
Made money."
Senior official Zheng said: "Mr. Guo, have you ever heard of Xihutong Beverage Factory?"
Wang Lidong smiled and said: "The soda I drank since childhood was produced by this factory."
"Haha, I forgot that Mr. Guo is a native of Xicheng." Senior official Zheng said with a smile: "Then this matter is simple. I think Mr. Guo must have heard about this soda factory. I wonder if he is interested in taking over.
?”
Wang Lidong showed a hint of interest and said, "Senior Official Zheng, can you tell me how to take over?"
Seeing Wang Lidong's expression, Senior Official Zheng introduced in detail:
“The soda water factory has been established for more than 20 years, and it has always been among the top three enterprises in our district in terms of profits turned over.
Just last year, the soda factory's annual sales revenue was 850,000 yuan, and it turned in profits of 350,000 yuan.
Because the leaders of the beverage factory collectively failed in their duties and allowed fake investors to defraud 1.9 million in cash, the factory is now shut down and suppliers and sellers have blocked the factory door.
As long as the 1.9 million hole is filled, the soda factory can restart production immediately. According to statistics from the sales department, this year's orders have been scheduled until February next year.
The district's finances have been really difficult in the past two years, so after discussions with the district, the soda factory is planning to implement a contract responsibility system."
Senior official Zheng has been visiting the beverage factory every day for the past two months. He knows the situation in the factory very well. When he introduced it to Wang Lidong, he did not hide anything and told the general situation.
When he heard that it was a contract, Wang Lidong immediately lost interest, but said with a normal expression: "Senior Zheng, what percentage of the profits turned over by the soda factory in previous years accounted for the factory's net profit? How many years is the contract period, and what is the contract method?"
Senior Official Zheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea:
“The soda water factory is a pilot enterprise for expansion of rights in the district. 90% of the profits realized are turned over to the district, and the company retains 10% of the profits.
The contract period is ten years. In the first three years, you do not have to turn in a penny of profit. From the fourth year onwards, you will turn in a profit of 300,000 yuan every year. In addition, how much the beverage factory produces, where it is sold, and what the wholesale price is, the district government is the same.
in spite of.
Moreover, the beverage factory is exempted from all local taxes and fees including corporate income tax, business tax, etc. for the first five years..."
Wang Lidong nodded slightly after hearing this, but he only sneered in his heart.
The district government had a good calculation. Although profits were not required to be paid in the first three years and various taxes were exempted, in the final analysis, the 1.9 million hole was almost filled, and the next seven years were regarded as sweeteners for the contractor.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Last year, 350,000 was paid, plus the 10% of profits reserved. Even if nothing is changed, from the fourth year onwards, the annual profits will be almost
Seventy or eighty thousand.
But if you want to make this little money, you first have to spend 1.9 million, which is free for the government for three years.
Now in the 1990s, bank deposit interest rates are scary to say the least. A five-year fixed deposit has an annual interest rate of 13% to 15%.
If you do nothing for a year and put 1.9 million in the bank, you can earn at least 247,000.
Even if the profit of the soda factory can exceed the interest on the deposit, once someone actually takes over the contract, they will find that there are pitfalls everywhere.
When an outsider suddenly becomes the director of a factory, the first thing he cannot understand is the original management.
The slightest use of tactics will affect normal production and operations. For those who cause trouble, the contractor will at most be fined, but they cannot fire the person because they are an iron rice bowl.
Not to mention making money by then, it’s just the contracting fee of 300,000 that is paid every year. If you can collect it, Ami Tofu will be the best.
If everything goes smoothly and the pig's feet are shrouded in halo, we will really make money...then someone will definitely come out to pick peaches.
Be polite and drive them away. If they are evil-minded, label them as embezzlers of state-owned assets, and then go in and eat cornbread for a few years.
In his previous life, Boss Haha, who was famous in Hangzhou, almost had his company swallowed up because of this factor.
And he remembered that in two years' time, when the fiscal and taxation system is reformed, the higher authorities will issue a document to terminate the enterprise contracting system.
When the time comes, someone slaps you on the face with a red-headed document, how dare you not agree?!
Wang Lidong said: "Senior Officer Zheng, I need to discuss this matter with several shareholders."
Senior official Zheng nodded and said: "I hope Mr. Guo can make a decision as soon as possible. In the past two days, several companies have contacted us and want to contract for a soda plant. Including the famous America's Coke.
Of course, we still hope to be contracted by enterprises in our district. As the old saying goes, the good news should not flow to outsiders."
After speaking, he looked at his watch and Senior Official Zheng said:
"I have a meeting later. I'll be here today. Let's go now."
"I'll see off Senior Official Zheng." Wang Lidong stood up immediately and sent Senior Official Zheng to the gate of the office building. After seeing the car leaving the factory and returning to the office, the second son immediately said:
"Brother, what do you think?"
Wang Lidong did not answer, but asked Lao Er and Xiao Weizi: "What do you two think?"
The second child glanced at Xiao Weizi and said first: "I don't think it's that big of a deal. It feels like I'm asking for help from a soda fountain factory."
The old custom of ganging up means that in the past, when the husband was seriously ill and could not support his wife and the elderly, after obtaining the husband's consent, he would find a kind-hearted man to take care of the whole family. After the husband passed away, he would marry this man.
Moving on with life as an official couple.
The silly father and son in the love-filled courtyard are a typical example. After the death of the white widow, He Daqing returned to the courtyard from Baocheng in a daze. Fortunately, silly Zhu took over.
Xiaoweizi said:
"It doesn't count as being a gangster. At least a man can live a lifetime after he dies. But as I mentioned earlier, the contract period for the soda plant is ten years. I feel like they are just looking for someone to take advantage of them and fill the 1.9 million pitfall for them.
"
Wang Lidong said: "There are very few factories in our district that can still turn in profits every year. If the soda factory hadn't been cheated, it's an absolute treasure, how could these people be willing to let it go.
Let’s not get involved in this muddy water, but there are many who want to take over.”
The second child said in surprise:
"Would anyone like that?"
Even at his level, he could tell that this deal wasn't very profitable.
"We don't have any backers. Otherwise, if we take over the soda water factory, it will be completely empty in two years, and then we can just leave.
At least I can make a profit of one million yuan, do you think no one will do this business?"
.....................
The time soon came to September. Fan Rong took the admission notice and went to the Open University accompanied by his parents to register and became a freshman student.
The school is located in Xicheng District. It only takes thirty or forty minutes to take a bus back and forth from home to the school. If Wang Lidong drives to pick him up, it will take about a quarter of an hour.
Fan Rong was just about to make a move, thinking about day schooling. After all, this was not twenty or thirty years in the future. The dormitory in their school was pretty good, with eight-person rooms, and the toilets were all shared.
To take a shower, you have to go downstairs to the bathroom specifically.
The scariest dormitory has no air conditioning and can only use electric fans in summer. This makes Fan Rong, who wants to carry the air conditioner on his back in summer, really resisted.
It's a pity that the OUHK implements police-style management. Fortunately, he is from the capital and can go home if there is no training camp on weekends.
