Chapter 36 Make the best use of people
"Although Xiao Xing is a college student and has strong ability, he is not familiar with the process and things of investment promotion, will it be too urgent to rush such an important matter to him?"
"Director Lu is right, the cooperation with the First Industry Co., Ltd. is related to the development of our city in the next few years, rashly handing over this work to Section Chief Xing, in case of an accident, then our efforts for so long will not be in vain. β
"I didn't mean to target Section Chief Xing, but he was still too young, and he also worked in the Finance Bureau before, which is completely different from the nature of the work in attracting investment. βγ
β......β
Being an official and having qualifications is always a threshold that is difficult to cross.
Xing Lei was exceptionally promoted to the section level by Jiang Chenglin, and he was still the real power section level of China Merchants, which immediately attracted a unanimous backlash within China Merchants.
Some say that his qualifications are not enough, and some say that he should be sharpened little by little, under the leadership of Lu Mengcai, director of the China Merchants Bureau, many people have pointed out the possible adverse consequences of Xing Lei's appointment from all angles.
The crowd was emotional and impassioned.
It seems that if Xing Lei takes office, the negotiation with the First Industry Co., Ltd. will be the inevitable result.
In this regard, the old god Jiang Chenglin is there, and his heart is the same as Mingjing.
There is only one purpose.
A radish and a pit, a newcomer will occupy the pit of the section chief, and there will be one less pit.
Finally, the noise of discussion fell silent.
Jiang Chenglin took a sip of tea and glanced at Deputy Director Tang Memorial, who had not spoken.
"Old Tang, what do you say?"
With his head down, Tang Jin, who seemed to be asleep at any time, moved his neck and glanced at everyone present, a trace of disdain flashed in his dim eyes.
"We have been negotiating with the First Industrial Association for a while, although the other party is blowing the sky, but the funds are still far away, and no one dares to guarantee what attention those little people are paying attention to. β
"Old Tang, what do you mean? Are you saying that we are not responsible for our work and are not in place?"
"I didn't say that. β
"Then what do you mean. β
"The chief said, black cats and white cats, if they catch mice, they are good cats. But we went around in such a big circle with those little guys, but we didn't even see the mouse hair. β
"Can you blame us? You don't know about Xiao Yueben's treachery, the contract has already been negotiated, and suddenly you don't sign it......"
"Isn't that because you didn't do your job properly? β
"You ......"
"As the old saying goes, it's a mule or a horse, and you'll know when you come out and slip around. The contracts that have been negotiated are not signed again, and you are still here to accuse others of not doing their jobs well, why don't you review yourself first. β
β......β
β......β
Before you know it, the venue is like a powder keg, and the smell of gunpowder smoke fills everywhere.
The first series headed by Director Lu Mengcai and the first series headed by Tang Memorial did it directly, and they almost didn't open their mouths to scold their mothers.
At this time, when can Jiang Chenglin wait until he doesn't come out to perform.
"Ahem, ahemβeverybody listen to me. β
β......β
β......β
"Old Lu. This matter has been dragging on for more than a month, and you have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on funds alone, when will this be accurate!"
"Vice Mayor Jiang, it's not like you don't know that these little people are really difficult to entangle. β
"Lao Lu, since the southern tour, Zhuhai has attracted 6 billion yuan in investment last year alone, and we haven't even come up with a decent project until now, you make it difficult for me. Three days, I'll give you another three days, the above takes this matter very seriously. You have to finalize this matter for me within three days and get the funds in your account. β
β......β
Lu Mengcai's face suddenly darkened.
Three days, isn't this a bully?
You have to eat it one bite at a time.
The president of Daiichi Industry Co., Ltd. is now closed and does not say anything, who can do this in three days.
"Three days, this ......"
"What's the matter? Three days still feel tight, if the people under you can't do it, then change people. β
β......β
"Xiao Xing is a high-achieving student, graduated from Huahai University, majoring in economics and finance, we don't know what those Xiao Yue are thinking now, so we can't judge. If you don't know what to do, it's better to call him in and find out what to do. β
β......β
It's all said and done, who can do what.
Lu Mengcai exchanged glances with several people present, and had to agree to this proposal.
Soon, Xing Lei, who was 'trotting all the way', arrived at the conference room, and under the instruction of Jiang Chenglin, he stood in front of everyone a little nervously.
"The art of war says: only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles. I have learned about the background of the Egret Island Shipyard, which is a very powerful company, and the current situation is mainly due to the international economic environment. Why do I like it? It's because it's valuable. β
β......β
"As we all know, the merchants are very shrewd, if it weren't for the high value, how could they spend more than a month negotiating with us?"
β......β
"The chairman said: The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue. I believe that their purpose is to test our bottom line. Because they know our weaknesses, the need for foreign exchange, and the weakness of the economy. β
β.......β
"But our strengths are also clear. The Egret Island Shipyard has a long history, and although it is a little behind in technology, we are mainly inferior in the power system and high-precision equipment.
If you have these, I think that the strength of Sagishima Shipyard can definitely be compared with well-known companies such as Kawasaki and Daewoo. β
"From what I know, Dai-ichi Kogyo Co., Ltd. happens to have this kind of technology, and they have been cooperating with Kawasaki for a long time to contract Kawasaki to support the production of marine electromechanical equipment.
And last year, Daiichi Industries also acquired the Baltic Shipyard. β
β......β
Xing Lei's words made the conference room explode.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.
Everyone understands this sentence.
But the problem is that no one knows the purpose and bottom line of Daiichi Industrial Co., Ltd. until then, and the ongoing financial crisis has left many people with a plan in mind.
Sell it for a little money to solve the urgent need first.
But now it's different, if what Xing Lei said is true, it can only show that Daiichi Industry Co., Ltd. will have great ambitions, and being able to fancy Ludao Shipyard can only show that they need Ludao Shipyard very much, not a buyer's market.
"Xiao Xing. Where did you get all this news from?"
"That's right. Why haven't we heard of it?"
"Are you sure it's true?"
β......β
In the face of gossip, Xing Lei's face did not change, but his eyes fully explained everything.
"I'm sure it's true. One of my classmates who was doing business in the North told me that last year, Daiichi Industries bought the Baltic Shipyard. β
β......β
There was silence all around.
The Baltic Shipyard, you know, is one of the largest shipyards in the Soviet Union.
The manufacturing industry in the Soviet Union may have been miserable, but the technology of heavy industry is definitely one of the most advanced in modern times. If Dai-ichi Industrial Co., Ltd. buys the shipyard and wants to set up its own shipyard, it all makes sense.
No one wants to be someone else's outsourcing company all the time, and Daiichi Kogyo Co., Ltd. has been working with Kawasaki for many years, so it is natural to be able to see Kawasaki's orders.
With the experience of working with Kawasaki and the shipbuilding technology of the Baltic Sea, it would be stupid not to build ships.
"So I think that I want to test our bottom line over and over again. But buying and selling is neither a buyer's market nor a seller's market. We ask for something, and they ask for it. We can wait for the price to sell and test their bottom line. β
"But what if you're wrong?"
"The husband who wins a lot without a fight has to count a lot. We can calculate our own strengths and how big the other party's needs are.
The Ludao Shipyard is located at the mouth of the sea, with easy access by water, and the dock design has stood the test of time and will not cause catastrophic consequences due to floods and natural disasters. Secondly, the labor cost in Huaxia is cheap, and the cost of material production and processing is also cheap. To build a ship, the most important common breed is a welder.
But as far as I know, in Yueben, a welder, works eight hours a day, five days a week. The salary is about 13,000 yuan.
And in the country, this salary is divided by twenty, or even thirty.
For the same intensity and time of labor, the salary of a domestic welder is at most 600 yuan. β
And. At this time, companies must provide workers with at least two huge commercial insurance and social public pensions, which alone are several times higher than domestic wages. β
β......β
"Capital is chasing profits, and twenty times the labor cost has a fatal attraction for a company. β
"The second is the material. In fact, most of the steel used in this shipyard is crude steel imported from China, and if they set up the shipyard in Lucheng, they will also save a lot of money on materials. β
β......β
"In addition to the cost side, we also have a very generous policy advantage, tax reduction clauses and land policies. β
β......β
However, it is an indisputable fact that the current orders of shipyards around the world are sluggish, otherwise the Egret Island shipyard would not have come to this point. β
"That's another advantage for us. How can enterprises survive in a downturn? Just like the current book, a series of means such as layoffs and salary cuts are all for the company to maintain enough life to survive. β
"If Daiichi Kogyo Co., Ltd. wants to occupy a place in the shipbuilding field, it needs to be competitive enough, and our cheap labor costs and material costs can reduce their production costs and be more competitive in the market. Moreover, the Chinese people are known for their hardships and hard work. I dare say that they do not find such a good labor force in the whole world as ours. β
β......β
"What else do you think?"
β......β
"I think it's very appropriate to hand over the task of attracting investment from the First Industry Co., Ltd. to Xing Lei, do you have any other opinions?"
"I agree. β
"I agree. β
β.......β
"The meeting was adjourned. β
Whoaβ
The light green sea gently laps the reef on the shore of Gulangyu Island, splashing a few feet high white crystal water, accompanied by a gust of breeze, and then looking at the endless sea, the tranquility of nature makes people feel light and dusty in their hearts.
Fishing boats floated on the surface of the sea not far away, and the sound of diesel motors added some vitality to the otherwise silent morning. Embark from the piano pier and walk along Deer Reef Road, and the traces left by history are presented in front of you.
The rows of garden houses, the British Consulate, the American Consulate, the Imperial Consulate and other exotic architectural styles and the Bagua Building, the Octagonal Tower and other Chinese classical architectural styles silently tell the history of China and the vicissitudes of the years that Southeast Province has gone through for a hundred years.
With the support of these churches, the "Holy Tao Church" was established and trained a number of local pastors and preachers, which provided strong support for the invasion of Western culture and the governments of Western countries, and further mastered the southeast gate of China, customs and port management.
"At 14 o'clock in Guangxu, this place has been reduced to a public concession. The house was built by a wealthy Italian businessman. β
"This house is also more than 100 years old, and the government originally planned to demolish these buildings during the Republic of China, but later thought that the shame should be left to future generations as a warning, and finally it was preserved. β
β......β
Walking on the stone-paved road of Gulangyu Island, Xing Lei, who was promoted to the section chief of China Merchants Bureau, became a temporary tour guide, telling Shen Jiannan and others about the vicissitudes of the island's hundreds of years of history along the way.
In the end, he is a college student, his logical thinking and memory are very clear, pointing to a variety of buildings with different architectural styles, from the Western church preaching to buy people's hearts, to the Qing government's inability to let Lucheng fall, to the origin of the infiltration of religious forces in China and the invasion of Western countries, the years and history that will be submerged in time are once again presented in front of everyone's eyes.
But after walking to a building with red bricks and yellow walls with Japanese architectural style, Xing Lei gushed endlessly, and suddenly paused, he looked at An Huihao and his party, and some didn't know how to speak.
Shen Yimei didn't notice this, looked at the sign hanging at the door of the building, and asked stupidly.
"Was this hospital also built by the church?"
Pok Oi Hospital.
A hospital that once made Lucheng and the entire southeast cry.
Because, it was established during the occupation of Egret City.
On the surface, it is a hospital that saves lives, but in fact, they are mainly based on Yoyuki Ando, an intelligence station and intelligence agency set up by Yoyo Ando, and secretly conduct Project T bacteriological research experiments.
The objects of the study are all young and middle-aged laborers that he captured from Lucheng and even the southeast.
This is a history that bears humiliation and blood and tears.
But now Lucheng is negotiating with Daiichi Industrial Co., Ltd. for the matter of Ludao Shipyard, and this fact is inconvenient to say in front of Ahn Hye Ho and his party.
Xing Lei glanced at An Huihao Er with some embarrassment, and finally set his eyes on Shen Jiannan.
"In fact, I know the origin of this hospital, when World War II did not break out, Ando and Linyi local forces opened the first Bo'ai Hospital in Linyi, and later Yuben occupied Lucheng, in order to facilitate the research of Plan T, a new Bo'ai Hospital was set up here. I heard that the basement below was left over from the study of bacteria and viruses at that time. β
"Did you see that red brick building, World War II said that my surrender was a surrender treaty signed here. β
Shen Jiannan's lack of taboos made Xing Lei a little nervous, after all, saying this in front of An Huihao and others was really a bit of a slap in the face and hatred.
But the result made him stunned.
An Hui Koji suddenly walked out of the crowd, stood at the door of Bo'ai Hospital, and bowed to the hospital solemnly and made a sincere apology. The other people in the same company, when they saw An Hui Haoji's reaction, also walked behind him and made a big salute.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I repent and apologize for the crimes I have committed here. Although I know that this does not change anything for what has already happened. However, there are many people who, like me, think that the crimes they have committed are a disgrace to them, and I hope that you will not affect the normal cooperation between us because of this incident. β
As soon as An Huihao said this, Lu Meng, director of the China Merchants Bureau, couldn't stand still.
"Mr. An Hui, you can rest assured that we will never let this incident affect our cooperation. β
Are you stupid?
Jiang Chenglin, who was traveling with him, glanced at Lu Mengcai like an idiot.
This is obviously Shen Jiannan paving the way for Xing Lei, this fool is still pleasing himself, I really don't know if the head of this thing is all paste.
Xing Lei is much smarter, although Shen Jiannan did not specifically say the relationship with An Huihao, but he can see that Shen Jiannan is the real person of the First Industry Co., Ltd., although his name is not listed among the shareholders of the First Industry Co., Ltd.
"Mr. An Hui, what has happened in history, none of us can change. However, I have a suggestion, the history of Ludao Shipyard is as old as Gulangyu Island, it carries the memories and feelings of Lucheng people for generations, and if Daiichi Industry Co., Ltd. officially acquires Ludao Shipyard, I hope that your company can do something about it. β
Xing Jun's words make sense. In order to express our sincere apologies, on the basis of the cooperation with Sagishima Shipyard, Cheiling Industry Co., Ltd. is willing to donate 15% of the shares to the people of Sagishima City free of charge to atone for the disaster that has befallen the city. I don't know what Xing Jun thinks. β
Fifteen percent of the shares?
Free gifts?
Lu Meng was dumbfounded.
In order to reach a cooperation with Daiichi Industrial Co., Ltd., he did not know how many times he ran back and forth, before and after the saddle, and he did not talk about any political achievements worth mentioning.
But as soon as Xing Lei took office, he immediately picked up such a big credit.
Holy shit, this kid is too lucky!
Do you think that Jiang Chenglin wants to be on the throne, but there is no door.
"Thank you, Mr. An Hui, but it is useless, and 15% of the shares are too heavy. β
β......β
β......β
The group was all stunned, whether it was from Sagishima or from the Daiichi Industrial Association, all of them had strange eyes and stiff expressions.
Is this cerebral palsy?
The acquisition plan reached between the Daiichi Industrial Co., Ltd. and the Sagishima government is worth $20 million, 15 percent, or $3 million.
Such a large sum of money is pushed out, what is it if it is not cerebral palsy.
Jiang Chenglin really couldn't stand it.
If you want to take credit, you can understand, but you can do this kind of thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to yourself, is your brain all?
It's not meritorious, it's not your pen,
At that moment, Jiang Chenglin's face darkened, and he squeezed Lu Meng directly behind him.
"Xiao Xing. You're in charge of this, what do you think?"
An Huihao Er is also a smart person, although he was not ashamed of Lu Mengcai's reaction, he still followed Jiang Chenglin's words and sent Xing Lei up again.
"Xing Jun. I'd like to hear your opinion. β
"On behalf of the people of Ludao, I thank Mr. An Hui, after all, this matter, if you have to pursue it, it has nothing to do with Mr. An Hui. β
"Isn't Xing Jun satisfied? On the basis of 20 million US dollars, the First Industry Co., Ltd. can invest an additional 10 million US dollars and fund the construction of an ancestral hall for the former victims, what does Xing Jun think?"
"Then I'll thank Mr. An Hui for the people of Ludao first!"
β......β
β......β
Following.
The Egret Island government publicly announced.
Daiichi Industrial Co., Ltd. and Sagido Shipyard have reached a cooperation agreement to invest $20 million to acquire 85% of the shares of Sagido Shipyard and an additional $10 million to participate in the shipping cleaning and maintenance project from Sagido Shipyard to the sea.
"Thank you, teacher!"
In a building on Gulangyu Island that was full of the atmosphere of time, Xing Lei stood in front of Shen Jiannan with his hands crossed and thanked him sincerely.
Before Xing Lei took office at China Merchants, the negotiations between Ludao and the First Industry Co., Ltd. reached an impasse, and the Japanese side kept looking for fault and passing the buck, and the attitude of arrogant command seemed to turn around at any time.
However, as soon as Xing Lei took office, he calculated the needs of the Japanese side from the perspective of assets, hardware supporting facilities and labor costs, and not only successfully reached cooperation, but also won greater benefits for Lucheng.
In just two days, the funds promised by Daiichi Kogyo Co., Ltd. have arrived.
The achievements of the negotiation are obvious to all, and Xing Lei has naturally become the most eye-catching figure, and no one can take away his credit.
It's funny to say.
Lu Mengcai, director of the China Merchants Bureau, was reported for taking bribes by Jiro Tanaka, president of Daiichi Industry Co., Ltd., and was investigated and punished, and Tang Mianming, the deputy director who was about to retire, became the director of the bureau for some reason.
