In the 80s, inspired by the rural contract responsibility system, many industrial and commercial enterprises in the city introduced the contract system, allowing or even encouraging factory directors and managers to contract enterprises. The enterprise contracting system is often aimed at profit or asset appreciation, and if the enterprise can obtain additional profit or asset appreciation on top of a specified index, the contractor can extract a certain percentage of it as its own contracting reward.

The contractor is responsible for the results of the enterprise's operation, and must have the autonomy to operate, thus breaking the traditional rigid management model in which the state does everything. The implementation of the contract system has played an important role in changing the mode of operation of industrial and commercial enterprises, and is an important link in the transition of the state management system from a planned economy to a market economy.

However, in the process of implementing the contract system, many problems have also arisen. One of the most important is that the contracting system has the characteristics of "negative profit and no loss", the enterprise makes money, the factory manager can get a high contract bonus, and if the enterprise loses money, the factory manager is at best fined three glasses of wine, and there is no substantive punishment measure.

There are also historical reasons for this situation. In the 80s, the vast majority of households had little savings, and it was unrealistic to ask contractors to put up how much money as collateral, even if they were to use wages as collateral, it was not worth a few dollars. The factory director and manager contracting the enterprise belong to sharing the worries of the country, and the state cannot let them bear the risk of bankruptcy.

It is precisely because there are rewards for making money and no penalty for losing money, that many contract directors dare to carry out "reforms" in a bold way, and the reason why they have to add a quotation mark is because the so-called reform measures of some people are actually just tossing and turning some enterprises that are still alive to the point of insolvency. In addition, some contractors simply keep watch and steal from themselves, embezzle the profits and assets of enterprises in various ways, and make a lot of money for themselves, but the state has suffered heavy losses.

In the 90s, as the state put forward the requirements for building a market economy, some localities began to implement the method of shareholding contracting to replace the original contracting system. This method requires that the contractor must set aside a part of the capital to invest in the enterprise, so that the rise and fall of the enterprise is linked to the contractor's personal interests. Since the contractor has an equity interest in the enterprise, it is also beneficial for the individual contractor if the enterprise can achieve long-term development, which can encourage the contractor to abandon short-term behavior and pursue the long-term prosperity of the enterprise.

Specific to Huang Liting's proposal to contract the store in the East District, in fact, the accusations of the family workers are also reasonable. If Huang Liting can't come up with a sum of money as collateral, just deducting half of her salary as a price, this is actually not binding. Huang Liting can take advantage of her contracting status to transfer the store's assets to her personal pocket, and the price she needs to pay is only 420 yuan.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Tang Zifeng asked Huang Liting.

Huang Liting said: "I have thought about it, people can't always be safe and stable in their lives, and if you want to be rich, you have to take risks." I plan to renegotiate the contract conditions with the company, and I will take out 20,000 yuan to buy shares, accounting for 30% of the shares. Everything about the store is up to me. If the store loses money, my 20,000 yuan will be considered a waste. If the store makes money, I'm going to pay a 30% dividend. If anyone is not convinced, he will also take out 20,000 yuan, and I, Huang Liting, am willing to work for him. ”

"20,000 yuan!" Tang Zifeng was shocked, "Master Huang, you are actually an invisible rich woman!"

"What an invisible rich woman!" Huang Liting glared at Tang Zifeng with disgust, then pouted and said, "I borrowed all this money." Didn't you say that my face was ugly? I only came back from my hometown yesterday, and I ran around my hometown for five or six days, and I trampled on the thresholds of my relatives, friends, and middle school classmates, so I was able to borrow 20,000 yuan. If I lose this money, I will not dare to go back again in my life. ”

In 1994, the per capita savings balance of urban and rural residents in China at the end of the year was 1,796 yuan, and the balance of the whole family's savings was about 5,000 yuan based on the calculation of a family of three. But this number is in the average sense, at this time, millionaires and tens of millions of dollars are not uncommon, but for a long-term loss-making enterprise like Linyiji, it is relatively rare for a worker family to have a deposit of 1,000 yuan, which is why Tang Zifeng was surprised when he heard that Huang Liting could take out 20,000 yuan to buy shares.

Huang Liting is a ruthless person, and the resistance of her family workers to her contracting has inspired her to be competitive. In addition, the bright prospects that Tang Zifeng described to her also made her heart pound. After learning about the contracting methods of some commercial enterprises in Linhe City, she made up her mind to spend all her family assets to contract the shops in the East District.

She has assessed the value of the store in the East District, not counting the real estate of the store, and the commodity capital of the entire store is 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. She plans to raise 20,000 yuan of her own shares, accounting for 30% of the store's shares, and at the same time ask the company to obtain full management of the store.

Many stores in Linhe City are contracted in this way, and those contractors can't think of the way to open a supermarket, but they have only adjusted the store's business varieties and service attitudes, and they can earn tens of thousands of yuan in contracting income a year, and they will earn back the money they paid when they first bought shares in two or three years. Huang Liting felt that she would not be worse than those contractors, and she would not pay the contract money at the least.

With this thought, Huang Liting went back to her hometown and began to borrow money from relatives and friends. Among her relatives and friends, there are also some people who "get rich first", and it is not difficult to come up with one or two thousand yuan. Huang Liting sold countless faces, and even threw countless winks at some of the boys who had a crush on her back then, and finally succeeded in raising 20,000 yuan. As for the civil war that broke out in many well-off families in the local area after she returned to Linhe, it was not something she had to care about.

"The money is still a little less. After introducing her ideas and the process of returning to her hometown to fundraise, Huang Liting said with regret:

"I originally planned to put together 50,000 yuan so that I could go to the company and at least take half of the shares in the store. Many of the goods in stock in the store have been piled up for several years, and they can only be disposed of at a discount, and it is reasonable for me to invest 50,000 yuan, accounting for half of the shares.

"However, the nerd in my family didn't agree with me to borrow so much money, saying that I could afford to lose 20,000 yuan, and if I lost 50,000 yuan, the whole family wouldn't even be able to wear pants. I told him that so many people who contracted the store did not lose money, so why should I, Huang Liting, lose money? Just thinking about the loss, he didn't want to think that if he made money, half of it would go to him. ”

Tang Zifeng's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "Master Huang, if Cai Gong supports you, will you really borrow 50,000 yuan to buy shares?"

Huang Liting smiled bitterly: "I think so, but if you want to borrow 50,000 yuan, how can it be so easy." When I went back to my hometown this time, I didn't even want to lose my face, and I found relatives and friends to scrape together the 20,000 yuan. If I want to borrow 50,000 yuan, I can't sell myself. ”

Tang Zifeng took a deep breath again, this sister-in-law drove at every turn, which made him a little uncomfortable. He asked, "Master Huang, have you ever thought about bringing in a strategic investor or something?"

"What do you mean by a strategic investor?" asked Huang Liting.

Tang Zifeng said: "It's just to find a rich man who is willing to contribute money to shares, but he only needs dividends and no management rights." You can treat his shares as your own, so that you can have full control of the store, and even if you tear your face with the labor service company one day, you can legally guarantee that your rights in the store are not violated. ”

"Is there such a person?" Huang Liting's eyes lit up. Tang Zifeng said that she had never heard of the concept. But what Tang Zifeng said was something she could understand at once. This is equivalent to some rich sons, who have a lot of money in their own pockets, but they are not good at business, so they often take out some money for others to do business, and they don't care how the business is done, as long as they can get dividends when the time comes.

If she can find such a strategic investor and raise 50,000 yuan with her, she can go to the company and ask for a controlling stake in the store, so that the future of the store is completely in her hands.

According to her original plan, she invested 20,000 yuan in shares, and she could barely occupy 30% of the shares in the store, and her management rights were given by the company, and the company could take it back at any time. To put it in a conspiracy theory, if she revitalizes the store and turns it into a cornucopia, and some powerful people in the factory want to come out and rob it, she has no way at all.

"Assistant Tang, it would be great if we could find someone like this. In terms of dividends, I can give up a little more. He paid 30,000 yuan, accounting for 70%, and I paid 20,000 yuan, accounting for 30%, on the condition that he did not interfere with the management of the store, and how the store would develop in the future was completely up to me. Huang Liting generously opened the conditions.

She had an intuition that Tang Zifeng was prepared to make this suggestion, and with Tang Zifeng's connections, she might know many tycoons. If Tang Zifeng can help her find this so-called strategic investor, then the funds she uses to invest in shares can increase by 30,000, and she can do more. In addition, Tang Zifeng helped her attract funds, and she will definitely not let go, but will pay more attention to the development of the store. With the support of Tang Zifeng, the development of this store has another layer of security.

Thinking of this, Huang Liting's face was glowing again, her eyes flowed, and she said in a coquettish voice:

"Assistant Tang, I know you must have a way, you can help my sister~~"

"Sister Huang, if you can talk well, we can still be friends......"
