Early the next morning, Zhou Fangyuan followed his father to the glass factory, which was on Wuzhuang Road, very close to Daxi Street. From the main store, it is only 10 minutes by car.

When they arrived at the glass factory, the leaders of the city had already arrived, and Zhou Fangyuan was probably the most familiar with Mayor Liu, and as soon as their car stopped, Mayor Liu's secretary walked over quickly to help them open the door.

This is amazing, Mayor Liu's secretary is not a small person in Beitong, and he is also a respectable figure in which unit he goes, but now he takes the initiative to open the door for an ordinary entrepreneur, which is similar to leading a horse and holding a whip, which shocks everyone else.

A few people who were still unimpressed with Zhou Fangyuan's father and son immediately changed color.

Zhou Fangyuan was also a little surprised, he immediately jumped out of the car and ran to the side of the main driver.

"Brother Zhang, I'll come. ”

"It's okay, I'll do it. Secretary Zhang said with a smile.

Zhou Fangyuan shook his head.

"How's that going to work? ”

"Alright, don't be polite to me. Secretary Zhang said with a smile.

Zhou Fangyuan got out of the car with his father. Walked in the direction of Mayor Liu together.

Before approaching, Dad Zhou shook hands with Mayor Liu.

"I really didn't expect that Mayor Liu, you actually came in person. ”

Dad Zhou said with a smile.

"How could I not come to such an important matter. The glass factory is an old factory of Beitong, and it is a good thing for Beitong that you can take over this factory now. Of course, I, as mayor, have to check it myself. ”

Mayor Liu said with a smile.

Dad Zhou nodded.

With your words, my heart is also steady. To be honest, this kid in my family is too assertive in doing things. A lot of times he doesn't talk to us. It was often when things were done that they would tell us, which made me and her mother very embarrassed. "It's normal for children to have some thoughts of their own when they're older. Student Zhou is so good, no matter how many parents can't ask for it, you should be happy. ”

"Others see our envy, but they can't see our suffering. Dad Zhou shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"I can understand, I can understand, my children are also very uncomfortable. Mayor Liu shook his head and said. "Alright, let's stop talking here, let's go in and have a look. The workers in the factory have been waiting for you for a long time. Mayor Liu proposed.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look. ”

Dad Zhou nodded.

So the group began to walk towards the glass factory.

The area of the glass factory is still very large.

There are four workshops and three large warehouses.

There are more than 1,000 workers, and it used to be one of the pride of Beitong City.

Unfortunately, due to some historical reasons, this factory is now in decline. But the power of the factory is still very strong, including the technical level of the workers, as well as the workshop equipment. In terms of several surrounding cities, it can be regarded as a very good factory.

In fact, as long as you have the ability and spare money to take down this factory and operate it in a modern way, you will definitely not lose money, even if you can't make a lot of money, it is no problem to protect the capital. It's a pity that it is popular in society to make high-tech money and make trendy money, and there are not many people who are willing to do a business like a glass factory, at least Beitong is like this.

Zhou Fangyuan didn't expect such an opportunity to be left to him before, he was actually very grateful to Shen Cunzhi, if it weren't for this incident, the glass factory probably wouldn't have been able to take his turn. So this time the help was actually a big profit, and he didn't feel a sense of rejection in his heart, but was full of joy.

Accompanied by Mayor Liu, the Zhou family father and son turned around the inside and outside of the glass factory. The focus is on the equipment on the shop floor and the conversations with the workers.

The maintenance of the equipment in the glass factory is still very good, and it can be seen that the workers in charge of maintenance are very attentive and conscientious.

Of course, after all, the equipment of the factory has been used for many years, and even if the condition of the equipment is not bad, the technical content in it has begun to fall behind. So if Zhou Fangyuan wants to take over the glass factory. He also had to spend a lot of money to update the equipment for the factory, which was also necessary.

After all, if you want to make this factory bigger and stronger, special glass must be studied. And to study special glass, new equipment is also necessary, and this kind of money cannot be saved.

Chatting with the workers also allowed them to discover some of the remaining problems in the factory. The most important point is that there are too many employees, many of whom are related households, all of whom are the children of former old workers, or even the children of friends or relatives. It's okay for children to say, after all, it is right for children to inherit their father's business, and with their parents, they have mastered some skills before going to work. And those who are related to those other than their children, many of these people do not have professional skills. Some people even have a very poor working attitude, skipping work and absenteeism are common, and some people even steal things from the factory.

The existence of these people, for the glass factory, is equivalent to a few pieces of stinky meat that spoiled this pot of broth. These people were something that Zhou Fangyuan had to get rid of, and he had also raised it when he discussed this matter with Secretary Feng before.

Secretary Feng supports him, and he can do this boldly with confidence, as long as it is not too excessive.

In addition to this, there is the issue of wages. Because of the poor efficiency of the factory, the workers of the glass factory have not been paid full wages for a long time. Therefore, the first thing after the restructuring of the glass factory is to make up the arrears of wages, which is not a small amount.

Fortunately, whether the state is responsible for the wages of retirees in the city does not have to worry about this.

I walked around the glass factory and looked at the inside and outside of the factory. Zhou Fangyuan was very satisfied, the current situation of the factory was even better than he imagined.

Looking at his father's expression, he was obviously very satisfied.

Now that everyone is satisfied, the next step is to talk about the purchase price.

The idea in the city is to prepare to sell the glass factory to the Zhou family for 30 million. According to the relevant leaders, the machines and equipment of the glass factory are more and more valuable than those of the raw meat factory, and the number of employees and the quality of employees are also higher than that of the meat factory.

What's more, in the warehouse of the glass factory, there are at least tens of thousands of pieces of glass stored now. These are the surplus wealth of the glass factory, and the Zhou family must spend money to buy them.

It doesn't matter if you spend money, but the value of the cost, the price of 30 million, Zhou Fangyuan thinks it's too expensive. After all, the plant equipment of the glass factory has been seriously aged, and he will spend a lot of money to renovate and update the land after taking over.

The money to be spent may not be able to stop 30 million, and the glass factory itself still has a lot of debts, and these debts have to be solved by them, which has invisibly lowered the value of the glass factory.

So when everyone came to the conference room of the glass factory, there was a heated discussion about the specific price.

The city hopes to sell the glass factory at a better price. Of course, the Zhou family hopes to buy a glass factory at a more suitable price. Now it is necessary to find a line that is acceptable to both parties, and this negotiation process is actually the most troublesome.

Fortunately, Dad Zhou is no longer a newcomer to the shopping mall now, and after so many ups and downs, he also has some negotiation skills of his own.

And in terms of the residual value of the glass factory, the impact of those debts is indeed very significant. However, the market does not want to take over these debts, so it can only be handled by buyers.

Dad Zhou bit this point and kept bargaining. So, in the old conference room of the glass factory, Zhou Fangyuan and his son and the lawyer who accompanied them started a negotiation with the city leaders represented by Mayor Liu.

For the morning, basically nothing was negotiated. At lunchtime, everyone went to the city government, and lunch was eaten in the city hall cafeteria, which tasted good.

After eating. After a short break, the group continued the consultation in the conference room of the city hall. Until about six o'clock in the afternoon. The two sides reached a preliminary intention.

The debts of the glass factory were still settled by the Zhou family and his son. However, about half of the arrears of workers' wages have to be settled in the city. The factory machinery of the glass factory, and the glass in the warehouse. The Zhou family will find a special third-party company to conduct a value assessment.

Based on the results of the evaluation, the company will purchase 30% of the investment. And the city should also give some new preferential policies to glass factories.

For example, tax cuts and exemptions within a few years, and government projects to give priority to the purchase of glass factory glass, etc., Mr. Zero always wrote several pages of memos.

At this point, the preliminary plan for the acquisition of the glass factory was thus decided. Of course, the entire acquisition process is not only so simple, and the Zhou family's legal team and government staff still have a lot of work to do.

But this has nothing to do with Zhou Fangyuan.

Walking out of the city hall, before waiting to get in the car, Zhou's father gave Zhou Fangyuan a chestnut on the back of his head.

"Stinky boy, discuss with us in advance what to do in the future, don't make a decision casually, it's very easy for you to promise others, but your mother and I have to worry more about you. Let's just talk about today's matter, if you hadn't agreed to Secretary Feng. I wouldn't agree to buy a glass factory. This thing is slow to make money, there are a lot of things, and there will be no trouble if you can't keep it even. Our family still owes a loan from the bank, and you still give me trouble. Do you think Lao Tzu has too much black hair or whatever. ”

Dad Zhou complained.

"Hehe, Dad, I'm not doing this for the good of our family, don't worry, if there is such a thing in the future, I will definitely say hello to you and my mother in advance." Surely it won't be on its own. ”

Zhou Fangyuan scratched his head and said with a hippie smile.

"You said it yourself, remember what you said. ”

"Of course, I won't break my word. ”

Zhou Fangyuan patted his chest and reassured.

Then he drove his father to his fast food restaurant to pick up his mother.

There's a dinner party at home tonight. It's grandma's side, grandma heard that he was back, insisted on him to go over, and called the second uncle, third uncle and aunt, grandma called in person, Zhou Fangyuan couldn't refuse, so he could only agree. And he doesn't hate going to his grandmother's house for dinner in his life, who makes them the core wherever they go now, and he enjoys this feeling extraordinarily.
