Chapter 282 A small favor for the new deputy mayor
"Oh? Okay.," Sun Dahai, who didn't know what was going on, followed Sun Weiguo and Huang Feifei into the study.
It turns out that every year the company invites leaders from relevant units in the city to attend the New Year dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The leaders are also very considerate, and several departments come in turns, and several leaders attend each time.
This year, the new executive deputy district chief in charge of economic affairs took advantage of his busy schedule to personally attend the company's New Year dinner and gave a New Year's greeting. After speaking, he talked privately with Sun Weiguo and Huang Feifei for a while, and left without a meal.
.
He came to ask the company for help.
After taking office, he conducted a survey on the factories and enterprises affiliated to the district. Several factories had been operating poorly for many years, and their employees' wages depended on district allocations to pay them at a ratio of 30%.
These factories have become a long-standing problem in the district. In the past few years, they have changed factory directors many times, and they have also helped the factories obtain bank loans. Unfortunately, they have not been able to turn the factory back into profitability.
The factory is insolvent and production has stopped long ago. There is no talk of bankruptcy now, but the workers are ignoring it, but this is not an option.
Deputy District Chief Cheng was willing to sacrifice his face and planned to rope in some powerful companies to merge and reorganize several factories in an effort to revitalize these assets. Even if he failed, he would at least solve the problem of re-employment of these workers.
It's just that although he is the executive deputy district director at the deputy department level, this work is still not going smoothly. Most of the strong enterprises in Dianhai District are central enterprises and are not under his direct jurisdiction.
However, most of the enterprises in the district were not strong enough. If they were forced to merge, they might be dragged down together. He looked for connections everywhere and asked for help. In the end, only a few large enterprises agreed to help.
Food for the Sky and Decoration for Life are foreign-funded enterprises. These things should have been undertaken by powerful state-owned enterprises and have nothing to do with foreign-funded companies. But who let Deputy District Chief Cheng and Sun Weiguo be classmates in the party school?
They were classmates in the same dormitory a few years ago at the party school and had a very good relationship. After graduation, he served as the deputy mayor of a city in Hebei Province. Every time he came to the capital, he would sit down with Sun Weiguo when he had time.
I sat there and even went to my house.
Now he was transferred to the capital and became the executive deputy director of Dianhai District, which happened to be the parent official of the company's location.
Only after he went to work in the capital did he learn about the relationship between Sun Weiguo and Shi Weitian. So he came here specifically to support him. By the way, it didn't matter if he failed or not, he told Sun Weiguo and Huang Feifei about it to see if they could work in the company.
Give him some help.
Of course, if Food for the Sky or Decorate Life want to get involved, they will have to go through a joint venture. Deputy District Chief Cheng would not dare to allocate the factory directly to a foreign-funded enterprise, as he would have to bear the responsibility.
Sun Weiguo told Sun Dahai about these situations and showed him some information. These were basic information on those factories, which Deputy District Chief Cheng left for Sun Weiguo's reference.
Sun Dahai has reservations about enterprises engaging in diversified operations. He does not think that walking on several legs will be of much benefit to the enterprise. If an enterprise wants to become bigger and stronger, it is only right to develop upstream and downstream.
However, since Deputy District Chief Cheng was Sun Weiguo's classmate, and now he had difficulties to seek help from him, Sun Dahai picked up the information and read it at a glance.
It is now 1955. Most of the district-run enterprises are established to provide employment or to resettle the educated youth who have returned to the city. The scale is not very large. There is no need to think too much about equipment and the like. The district will not have much money for it.
Fixed asset investment.
The biggest advantage of such an enterprise is that it has land. Now is not an era when the government can sell land. To set up an enterprise in the district, a piece of land can be allocated with a piece of approval.
Sun Dahai knew that in the 1990s, when a large number of loss-making state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises were merged, there were many connected individuals or companies who acquired the loss-making enterprises at low prices, then got rid of the personnel burden and made a fortune by selling land.
Sun Dahai is too lazy to make such money. But this also shows that the acquisition of such a company, even if it fails to be revitalized in the end, may not result in a loss. It is just like spending money to buy land and build an office building to make money, but it looks a bit ugly.
That's all.
Sun Dahai suddenly stopped looking. Something about a factory caught his attention.
Hongda Garment Factory is located about one kilometer south of Capital University, within the future Fourth Ring Road. There are still some farmlands here, and the garment factory is located alone among them, covering an area of less than an acre.
Hongda Garment Factory was formed from the merger of similar small factories run by several neighborhoods a few years ago. At its peak, the total number of regular and temporary workers reached 200, and more than 100 workers were female.
Now the factory has been out of production for more than a year. All temporary workers have been terminated from their working relationships, and those regular employees who have the conditions have been transferred early. There are dozens of people left who are barely living on a monthly salary of 30 RMB.
The factory has a two-story administrative building and a two-story employee dormitory building behind it. The factory area is a large-bay bungalow with a warehouse and canteen.
"Hongda Garment Factory can do this." Sun Dahai said: "Just the work clothes of our two companies and the school uniforms of the students in the future are enough to support this factory.
Not to mention that there is Huanyu Trading Company that can export. By the way, Sheng Zhiwen's clothing company is doing well in North America and can also help with sales."
Huang Feifei read this information and had an impression of Hongda Garment Factory. She said: "Garment factory? That's easy. The garment industry in Xiangjiang is relatively developed, and relevant technical and managerial personnel are easier to find."
Sun Weiguo also read the information briefly at noon, and he said: "Hongda Garment Factory? I didn't pay attention just now. I was interested in the last factory, the quilt factory that was converted from the military to civilians."
Sun Dahai hadn't seen the back yet. After hearing Sun Weiguo's words, he quickly looked at it and then said: "The quilt factory is even smaller, with only thirty people. There is no problem. Let's pack them together. You have helped Cheng a lot."
The deputy district chief."
Huang Feifei asked: "Will this joint venture be completed in the name of an existing company, or by registering a new company in Xiangjiang?"
Sun Weiguo said: "Let's register another clothing company. The main business of Food for Heaven and Decorate Life has been finalized. It always feels weird to jointly establish a clothing factory."
Sun Dahai smiled and said: "Then let's do it alone. I don't like to see the company's main business too messy."
Sun Weiguo asked Huang Feifei: "Feifei, how much do you expect to prepare?"
Huang Feifei said: "According to the information, Hongda Garment Factory can be transformed into a medium-sized garment factory with 200 employees.
The existing buildings can basically continue to be used. Production lines and various equipment need to be introduced, plus funds for purchasing raw materials and part of the working capital. I estimate that it will be around 2 million yuan, or 6 to 7 million Hong Kong dollars.
The specifics will depend on the joint venture conditions given by the government, the development ideas of the factory director and designers, and their requirements for equipment." 11
