Chapter 43: Ji Ling's Soft Rice

Yeung was 37 years old.

Before becoming the mayor of Jiangchuan City, he successively served as deputy section chief and section chief of the Urban Economy Section of the Research Office of the Lijin Municipal Party Committee, and later served as deputy secretary of the Lijin Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Youth League.

This is by no means rare in officialdom, and it is a typical young marshal.

As soon as he took office, the young marshal ambitiously responded to the call of the "Southern Speech" to carry out the reform of state-owned enterprises, which was an important task of local governments in recent years.

The findings were catastrophic and devastating!

Of the 270 enterprises, 195 are loss-making, 63 are insolvent, and only 12 are profitable! At the same time, 26,000 people in Jiangchuan are eating financial food, but the financial revenue is less than 160 million yuan, and the salaries of cadres cannot be paid on time. According to the convention, Jiangchuan City needs 20 million financial reserve funds every year, but in fact, it can't keep a single cent!

If the situation of half-dead state-owned enterprises and the financial situation of making ends meet make him sit on pins and needles, then the shocking financial debt problem makes his hair gray and sorrowful!

Let's not talk about the complicated and unsolvable triangular debts and the intricate private loans, just talking about banks, almost all state-owned enterprises in Jiangchuan are debtors of local banks, but many of them are on the verge of bankruptcy, and the loans cannot be repaid at all, and they have become bad debts. But the bank is also a bastard, knowing that the company will be finished if it can't be saved, and it will continue to borrow money, which is like a dying person who owes you money, you know that there is no cure, and you continue to desperately lend him money for treatment. They don't care that the money is the hard-earned money of the people, and they just want to raise the balance of the loan so that it will not quickly become a dead account - what a drink to quench their thirst and deceive themselves!

Since coming to Jiangchuan City, Yang Jiarong can hear that the workers of that factory in the eastern suburbs have blocked Chunlin Road, and that factory has made trouble on Jianshe Road, and the gate of the city government has been pulled up by the workers of that state-owned enterprise。

Sitting in the mayor's office, Ji Chong also held back his words in his stomach.

Maintain stability, how to maintain this stability?

The city's public security doesn't work and all go to serve laid-off workers?

But the problem is that most of those laid-off workers are honest, genuine, qualified socialist workers, who have worked diligently for decades, obeyed the command of the state, and the state has also promised to take care of everything for these socialist workers, eating, drinking, and taking over all education and pension.

Can you not make trouble!

After smoking for a while, Ji Chongcai snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said: "Mayor Yang, the workers of Longjingyuan Canning Factory blocked the street and made trouble suddenly, and the city bureau did not dredge the crowd in time, and the police will be arranged as much as possible to investigate similar situations in the future, but you also know that these will eventually cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and the enterprises in the city must take the lead to appease the workers, complete the transformation as soon as possible, and solve the difficulties of the workers." ”

There is no need to say this seriously.

Yang Jiarong knows better that the problem of restructuring state-owned enterprises in Jiangchuan City and dealing with property rights relations has reached the point where there is no room for delay, but the problem is that there must be people who are willing to take it; last month, he personally led a team to Xiangjiang to engage in the promotion of investment associations, promising various preferential policies to bring back a few bosses, and once they inspected them, there was not a single one left!

Why!

Thinking of this, Yang Jiarong picked up a piece of information on the table and handed it to Ji Chong: "Mayor Ji, you know this Lianzhong boss Zhang Yunqi, he is quite capable." In the past two days, he talked with Chengnan District about Lianzhong's acquisition of Longjingyuan Canning Factory, and came up with a plan, which made Huo Jianzhong a little unable to get off the stage. ”

Ji Zhong picked up the information and flipped through it, it was the detailed information about Lianzhong Trade, which he had not carefully understood, but knew that Zhang Yunqi was the big boss of this private enterprise.

Yang Jiarong mentioned Zhang Yunqi to him in a good manner, probably where did he learn about his relationship with Zhang Yunqi. In fact, it doesn't matter, that is, his daughter has a good time with Zhang Yunqi, but the problem is that others don't see it that way, especially in officialdom, the relationship network and background are often the first step in studying a person, his wife is from Yunxi Village, and Zhang Yunqi is his mother's family from the outside!

It's just that this kid is so young, and he has no qualifications and no connections, how can he run such a big business and do it so well? This may make Yang Jiarong think about it, or rather, it will make many people think about it.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhong had to worry that at the juncture of the restructuring of this Longjingyuan canning factory, Zhang Yunqi's body would be labeled as Ji Chong.

It's hard to predict whether it's good or bad.

Ji Zhong closed the information and said with a smile: "I don't know much about the situation of Lianzhong, but I don't know how he plans to buy Longjingyuan Canning Factory?"

Yang Jiarong said: "Transferring all the assets of Longjingyuan Canning Factory free of charge is to give him away for free." ”

Ji Zhong was happy.

He saw this kid's boldness again, and he dared to come to any idea, but he also had to admit that Zhang Yunqi had a careful thinking far better than his peers, such as the time when his brother was arrested for selling flue-cured tobacco, he ran to himself to save his brother, it seemed naïve, it was impossible, in fact, he knew very well how to make himself nod.

How similar the situation is now.

In the face of Zhang Yunqi's seemingly extremely exaggerated request, in fact, Yang Jiarong has not many choices. No one else knows, but he is well aware of the enormous pressure that this young mayor, who is two years younger than him, is facing.

At the national level, the call for promoting the reform of state-owned enterprises across the country is unprecedentedly high, and the slogan is that there is a dead end if there is no reform!

If Lianzhong takes over for free, even if the property rights are completely privatized, he Yang Jiarong is a privatization raider, it is better than dragging it down like this, because at least it can keep the jobs of more than 200 workers, get rid of the burden on the overwhelmed local finance, develop well in the future, and give back to local taxes, and even set a benchmark for reform.

Of course, it was not his turn to be the chief of the city's public security bureau to express his views on the reform of state-owned enterprises, but now that Yang Jiarong is talking to him privately, the situation is very different.

The two of them entered the normal at the same time, and they both belonged to the Shaozhuang faction, and many ideas were relatively similar. Of course, the most important thing is that Qin Xiangqian, a senior city official, will probably not work for two years, and will go to the National People's Congress for retirement. At this time, Ji Zhong didn't mind showing a certain inclination on certain issues.

Ji pointed to a cigarette and said: "We all know that the pustule must be punctured, otherwise the future trouble will be more endless, tears can effectively stop the loss and avoid dragging down the city's finances, but to put it lightly, from the perspective of maintaining social stability, loss-making enterprises cannot go bankrupt for the time being." We are responsible for the workers of state-owned enterprises. In my opinion, Zhang Yunqi's overall acquisition plan is still feasible, and the Longjingyuan canning factory has not started construction for more than seven months, and it is no different from going bankrupt, so how can there be any net worth to speak of? The bosses of other private enterprises are not doing charity, but other local governments are still holding back when they engage in the reform of the shareholding system, and we will carry out the transfer of property rights free of charge as soon as we come up, and this step is a bit big, and it is necessary to grasp public opinion well. ”

A smile appeared on Yang Jiarong's face when Ji Chong said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ji Chong, as if he had thought of something, and glanced at the time again before saying, "Old Ji, let's go to the Xu family restaurant for two drinks in the evening?"

Ji nodded and chatted briefly before he got up and left Yang Jiarong's office.

When he went down the stairs, he happened to meet Huo Jianzhong and Zhang Yunqi, the mayors of Chengnan District, and he immediately realized that the two had come to see Yang Jiarong to discuss the acquisition of the cannery.

It seems that Yang Jiarong has already made up his mind about this matter.

Ji Zhong and Huo Jianzhong said hello before looking at Zhang Yunqi, and Zhang Yunqi called out to Mayor Ji.

Ji Zhong just nodded, and he didn't plan to say anything, but Huo Jianzhong, the human spirit, seemed to have something to do with him and Zhang Yunqi, and went upstairs directly with a smile.

Ji Zhong looked at Huo Jianzhong's background and said to Zhang Yunqi: "Mayor Yang is a pragmatic and daring person, be direct, but consider the interests of the employees more. ”

Zhang Yun nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Ji." ”

Ji Zhong let out an "um" and went downstairs with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Yunqi smiled and went upstairs to catch up with Huo Jianzhong, Huo Jianzhong smiled meaningfully at Zhang Yunqi: "Mr. Zhang, Mayor Ji is quite good, young, and has a bright future, I heard my kid say that Mayor Ji's daughter is also quite good, very beautiful." ”

Zhang Yunqi smiled: "District Chief Huo, do you want to say that I am eating soft rice?"

******

When Zhang Yunqi and Huo Jianzhong walked into the mayor's office, Yang Jiarong was still at his desk flipping through the overall acquisition plan of Longjingyuan Canning Factory.

In fact, he has seen this plan many times, and he has not been surprised at the beginning, nor has he had deep thoughts and doubts after reading it repeatedly, but he just wants to flip through it, want to see, and find a kind of subversive courage from it.

It wasn't until Zhang Yunqi and the two came in that Yang Jiarong took away his gaze from the information, and after Huo Jianzhong's brief introduction, there was no politeness, and the first thing he said to the straight line was: "Xiao Zhang, if you take over the Longjingyuan Canning Factory now, what will you do?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Mayor Yang, the later operation of Longjingyuan Canning Factory is relatively complex, including production lines, canned raw materials, product packaging, sales strategy, management team adjustment, etc., these must be changed, as far as the current situation is concerned, in order to allow the canning factory to resume production as soon as possible, I will do four points of work." ”

Yang Jiarong said: "Let's hear it." ”

Zhang Yunqi said: "First, inject 1.5 million yuan to set up a new company to operate the Longjingyuan Canning Factory as a whole; second, immediately after signing the acquisition agreement, pay one month's salary to the employees of the Longjingyuan Canning Factory; third, separate the production and marketing of Longjingyuan, the canning factory is mainly responsible for production, and the sales will be connected to Lianzhong Trade to build a new distribution channel; Fourth, before the Spring Festival, all the hundreds of thousands of cans in the Longjingyuan Canning Factory will be sold, and more than 200 workers will be paid a part of their wages for a good year. ”

Yang Jiarong looked at Zhang Yunqi, he still looked like a student, but his talking and speaking thinking, logic and insight are indeed far better than ordinary people, it seems that there are still people in the world who are born to know.

Yang Jiarong took a sip of the teacup and asked, "More than 200 employees have not received their wages for almost a year, and they will be paid a month's salary in the early stage, is it less?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "But if they send too much, they will be inert." ”

Yang Jiarong was a little dissatisfied with this sentence: "Isn't this a crooked reason, the salary is originally for the workers, how can it be called inertia if there is too much?"

Zhang Yunqi said honestly: "In fact, they can't get a cent of their salary now. ”

Yang Jiarong knocked on the table: "That's why you're sitting here today!"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Mayor Yang, if I take over, theirs, there will be no less, but what I have to consider now is how to make the canneries with nearly 10 million debts alive, this is not the responsibility of managers, it is everyone's responsibility, we must work together, I will formulate a sales incentive program, mobilize the whole factory workers to sell canned food together, workers want to get more money, they will sell more canned food, instead of counting on that salary." ”

Yang Jiarong nodded and continued to ask: "Now there are only two months before the Spring Festival, so many backlogs of canned food, do you guarantee that they will be sold out?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "I can't guarantee it, but I promise that the canning factory will resume production after the Spring Festival, and the workers will have a living guarantee, so that they can have a good year, and they will never go to the streets to make trouble for the government and citizens." ”

This time Yang Jiarong didn't make a sound, he stared at Zhang Yunqi with a calm expression, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table for a while before he said: "Xiao Zhang, I don't want a penny, all the people and all the property and land of Longjingyuan Cannery belong to you, but I hope you will fulfill what you said." ”
