Chapter 66: History
Even in the end, Hu Wenhai still did not completely convince Hu Jiefang, and the final result was that he no longer objected - of course, the red-headed documents had already come down, and Hu Jiefang knew that he was powerless to object.
But on Lao Hu's side, it can only be said that he is waiting to see what happens. Hu Wenhai really has a headache, just because the director of the 501 factory is his father, I am afraid that the employees of the 501 factory will not be able to suffer.
Think about the ending of those state-owned enterprise employees who were bought out by the management in later generations, tsk, my father's realization, he should really give him a May Day Labor Medal, and then evaluate the top ten people who moved China.
However, from the perspective of Hu Wenhai, a "big capitalist", the situation is not good.
However, for Chinese, the world is not as big as the New Year's Festival. New Year's Day and Chinese New Year represent the end and the beginning of the year, and they are days that must be taken seriously. Seeing that New Year's Day was approaching, Hu Wenhai was not in a hurry to completely take the 501 factory in his hands.
But this does not mean that he can be idle, on the contrary, in the past few days after returning home, Hu Wenhai has devoted himself to a new job.
Speaking of which, there have been too many things that have happened recently, and as a result, his original plan to make a fortune in silence has failed. In his original plan to go to the United States, the exchange of money for the little blue pill should have been done in secret enough. The money you get can also lie in the United States first, quietly move back to China little by little as the country deepens in terms of openness.
In this way, at least one thing, I will not be pushed to the forefront. But the plan didn't change quickly, and the temptation to paint the F-14 with green paint was too great for him to give up the attempt.
As a result, although there is enough money for the follow-up, there is no time to complete the real purpose of going to the United States. Speaking of this original purpose, isn't it to change the clothes of Heng Jianyun's company?
Fortunately, since he got the signing fee, the remaining funds for the introduction of Tomcats were scattered and replaced with imported materials for various production equipment. Some of the easy-to-make finished products have already been loaded and shipped, and it is estimated that they will arrive at the port of Xiucheng in January 1985.
In order for this batch of equipment and materials to be put into production immediately after arriving in Hong Kong, the most urgent problem in front of Hu Wenhai is to come up with a reform plan for the reorganization of the 501 factory.
Fortunately, the most urgent issue is that the personnel arrangement of the 501 factory has always been in Hu Wenhai's head, and there is no need to spend time to understand. But balancing the interests of all parties and selecting people who are truly capable to take up positions is still a very difficult process.
In addition to discussing with Hu Jiefang, there is also a key person in the personnel arrangement of the 501 factory, who is almost rooted in Lao Hu's house to work these days, and this is Wang Yichun, the mayor of Xiucheng.
The arrangement of the employees of the 501 factory, based on the resistance of the workers to the private enterprises, there will definitely be many people who choose to buy out the seniority of the 501 factory. In this case, how to arrange this group of people has become a hot potato.
As the mayor of Xiucheng, Wang Yichun's support is indispensable.
"According to the preliminary survey in the past two days, the number of employees who are willing to work in ST should be less than 30%, about a quarter of the current employees. ”
Although he was a little reluctant, Hu Jiefang still completed the investigation work arranged for him. The reason is very simple, because this is the order of Mayor Wang Yichun, and as a member of the organization, Hu Jiefang has no position to oppose it.
As for Wang Yichun, he wished that he could push out more of the 501 factory and its workers, so that the pressure on the city could be relieved a lot. The land, equipment, plant, technology and capital of the 501 factory can also be sold to Hu Wenhai at a price, which suddenly adds a large amount of money to the operation of the city government.
Oh, but of course, not all of this money came from Hu Wenhai. He only needs to pay 20% of the cash payment, and the rest is allocated by the higher authorities in the second and third years.
But even so, in the face of the 501 factory, which has thousands of employees, the entire asset accounting work is very terrifying. The bargaining involved in this was all decided by Hu Wenhai, Hu Jiefang and Wang Yichun in Hu Wenhai's small partial room.
"If you calculate it in this way, you will be lenient in taking care of the enemy, and we will count the employees who are willing to come over according to 1,000 people. The remaining 501 factory has more than 2,000 employees, with the largest working experience of 40 years and the youngest working experience of less than one year. In view of the serious situation of early retirement in previous years, I think the average length of service should be about 15 years.
Hu Wenhai calculated on paper with a pen and put a set of data in front of Wang Yichun. In this way, it is equivalent to the total length of service that needs to be bought out is more than 30,000 years, and the specific compensation standard for the length of service that needs to be bought out is the focus of discussion between the two sides.
"I think 100 yuan a year is more appropriate, and even 4,000 yuan can be obtained in this way, which is already very good!"
"That's too little, isn't it? It's only a month's salary for an average worker!"
If Hu Wenhai was not one of the parties involved, he would not be able to believe it when he saw the above dialogue, it was not himself who proposed the standard of 100 yuan a year, but Wang Yichun, the representative of the labor side.
"Ahem, it's quite a lot. Wang Yichun coughed embarrassedly and said: "The city government still has to rearrange their jobs, although the seniority has been bought out, but the salary will not be organized in the future." Instead of getting such a high buyout price, it would be better to raise their placement fee a little. ”
Hu Wenhai was completely speechless when he heard this, and the so-called resettlement fee was also a method he proposed. That is to say, the acquiring enterprise will set up a fund for the employees of each acquired enterprise, which will be operated by the municipal government and used to ensure the basic livelihood of these employees who have left their posts.
That is, it mainly deals with their medical expense reimbursement, minimum living security, childbirth and pension distribution, and after 30 years, discerning people will know at a glance that this is an imitation of the social security system of later generations.
In the reform of state-owned enterprises in the 90s, especially in the face of the wave of layoffs, Hu Wenhai believed that the biggest problem was not that the workers of state-owned enterprises were unemployed, but that the social security system had not been established while a large number of people lost their jobs.
It is precisely in this time lag between layoffs and the establishment of social security that the credibility of the entire society in power has been fundamentally shaken.
In order to avoid his own intervention, which led to an irresistible predicament in the lives of the workers of the 501 factory, Hu Wenhai suggested that a part of the purchase money should be set aside to set up this resettlement fund.
"Mayor Wang, according to our agreement, this fund is earmarked. ”
Hu Wenhai didn't say everything, but the subtext was very clear, the city government must not have the idea of embezzling the money.
Wang Yichun smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "Comrade Xiaohu, don't worry, on behalf of the city government, I solemnly promise that I will never abuse this resettlement fund." But you also have to think about the city government, so many people's living security problems, less money will be in trouble. ”
"Okay, what about Mayor Wang's opinion?" Hu Wenhai didn't want to be too persecuted, especially on the issue of the resettlement of the workers of the 501 factory, he had to take a more long-term view.
The state owes him 2.24 billion yuan in the first installment, how much is the 501 factory worth? To be honest, it is 20 million yuan in the end, and even a fraction of this money is not enough.
Hu Wenhai's plan is not only the 501 factory, Xiucheng is an industrial city that was operated as early as the era of the warlords of the Republic of China, although it has been somewhat defeated now, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are still a lot of good things.
For example, the Optoelectronic Research Institute where Xiao Yeqin worked before, as well as the Guanghua Factory that produced military optical equipment, the Huaguang Factory that produced electron tubes and transistors, the No. 3 and No. 6 Radio Factories in Bohai Province, the Motor Factory, the Crane Factory, the Power Equipment Factory, the Chinese Medicine Factory, the No. 2 Pharmaceutical Factory, the Ceramics Factory, the Textile Factory, and the Fiber Factory, all of which are large enterprises with thousands of people. If you really want to count it, these factories in Xiucheng are clearly a big treasure.
From light industry to heavy industry, machinery to chemical industry, electronics to optics, it is said that China's industry is a system, in fact, you can get a glimpse of the whole leopard from Xiucheng. A large enterprise with thousands of employees like Factory 501 can't be counted on one hand. The urban area of Xiucheng has a population of 600,000, at least half of which are in the secondary industry, with hundreds of small factories and thousands of large factories, as well as giants such as the No. 6 Petrochemical Plant.
Hu Wenhai's 2.24 billion yuan is enough money, right? Even the central government has a bit of a hard time coming up with this money. But if it is sprinkled in the factory of Xiucheng, it may not be able to set off any waves.
Of course, this is the difference between working capital and fixed assets, and it is not the same. But Hu Wenhai is still unwilling to win only one 501 factory, but eyes on more industries in the embroidery city.
In order to make a good start for winning other factories in the future, Hu Wenhai is actually more concerned than Wang Yichun about whether he can deal with these original workers. Of course, another reason that cannot be said is the agreement between him and Secretary Huang.
The state allowed him to test the waters of state-owned enterprise reform, not only in the way of contracting this headache, but also in an attempt to smoothly deal with the sale of state-owned enterprises and the clarity of property rights.
Now Hu Wenhai can be said to be in the spotlight of the microscope. Yes, in this small side house in the big courtyard of the old Hu family, it is the first case of the transfer of property rights of a state-owned enterprise in China. Historically, China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have been on a sell-off frenzy, at least until the early nineties. At the moment in 1984, private enterprises were still attached to state-owned enterprises, pretending to be tertiary or collective enterprises, how could anyone buy state-owned enterprises in turn?
Unconsciously, Hu Wenhai is already creating a new history.
