May 21. Xiaoman.

Li Dongwen returned to Tongcheng.

Regarding the project of acquiring the Tongcheng Cable Factory, Zhang Junru has sent a project team over and is negotiating with the Tongcheng government. Li Dongwen had already given authorization, so he didn't get involved anymore, and he went straight to the construction site in Shangquan Township, Hongshui County.

Qin Weimin and Jiang Haibo have been waiting here for a long time.

Progress here is quite good, the roads in the mining area have been built, of course, they are improvised roads, and cars are barely able to pass in both directions.

Spring sowing has also ended, farmers, every inch of land is not willing to waste, and now the fields have grown neat seedlings, piece by piece, green.

Li Dongwen looked at the green of the mountains and fields, and the gurgling water, which was very pleasant.

Qin Weimin said: "We have tested this water, it is simply natural mineral water, it is a pity not to use it." We plan to build a mineral water factory and sell bottled water. ”

Selling water?

"Have you investigated?"

Jiang Haibo said: "It's been investigated. There is no good water source in Tongcheng, and the mineral water sold in the market is transported from other places, and the retail price is basically 2 yuan a bottle. ”

2 yuan a bottle? Li Dongwen didn't know if it was cheap or expensive.

Jiang Haibo continued: "The profit of the small store is about 5 cents, and if it is less than 5 cents, the small store will not be motivated. Distributors who distribute to small stores, a bottle will increase the price by about 2 cents, do not issue invoices, and earn a freight, and local large dealers should reserve 3 cents of space, and they may have some to invoice, rent warehouses, and occupy funds......"

What does it mean to issue an invoice? What does it mean? Li Dongwen didn't understand.

Jiang Haibo explained: "When you issue an invoice, you have to pay taxes. Small shops are generally taxed, so they don't need tickets. Distributors have fixed taxes and non-fixed taxes, and invoices can be deducted for taxes. Large dealers are taxed according to turnover, although there are reasonable tax avoidance operations, but they always have to pay a part, too much tax avoidance, the government does not agree to ......"

Li Dongwen pinched his fingers and counted: "The small shop is 5 cents, the distributor is 2 cents, and the dealer is 3 cents, so it's a dollar." ”

Jiang Haibo said: "Yes. Our ex-factory price is 1 yuan per bottle. In this 1 yuan, you need to pay 2 cents 5 cents, the average freight is 2 cents, within 1000 kilometers, the product packaging is 2 cents (bottle caps, bottles, bottle labels, cartons), processing fees (electricity, filtration, labor) 3 cents, and the remaining 5 cents is the profit. ”

When Li Dongwen heard it, the profit of 2 yuan a bottle of mineral water was only 5 cents, is this too low?

Jiang Haibo said: "Mineral water mainly depends on sales to make money. With two thousand bottles of water per ton, we can earn a hundred. It produces 100 tons a day, and there are 10,000 yuan, which can earn more than 3 million yuan a year. ”

"How many people are needed?" asked Li Dongwen a key question.

Jiang Haibo: "It doesn't take many people, there are eighty or ninety people in three shifts, and they are all automated production lines." ”

Li Dongwen's interest in this matter has plummeted.

Qin Weimin hurriedly said: "With our own water plant, at least the problem of water use within the company has been solved......

"Can this water plant be bigger?"

Jiang Haibo said: "However, the flow of our spring water is limited, and we still have to leave some downstream, so we can't cut it all off?"

Not enough water?

"You guys design it to be ten times bigger, this amount of water, I have observed, it will be even larger in the future. Li Dongwen raised his hand and pointed to the stream in front of him.

Li Dongwen pinched his fingers and calculated that if the runoff was 1 cubic meter per second, there would be more than 86,000 tons of water every day, and 1,000 tons would be intercepted every day, just like no interception.

Qin Weimin and Jiang Haibo got such instructions and immediately arranged for someone to prepare for the construction of a mineral water factory.

The Great Northwest is like this, a cart of cattle and sheep is transported out, and a cart of mineral water is brought in exchange for a cart of mineral water. Water, in the vast majority of the region, is a scarce resource.

Shangquan Township and Xiaquan Township, as soon as you hear this name, you know that there was once a spring. This year, the water from the spring that had disappeared for many years began to flow again, making many elderly people in the area cry with joy.

At first, they thought it was caused by last year's heavy snowfall, and that the spring would disappear again after the snow melted. Now, months have passed, and the spring is still bubbling and showing no sign of disappearing, and the water seems to have become larger these days.

Tongcheng Cable Factory.

Located in the western suburbs of Tongcheng, the old factory of more than 30 years has a long history.

When Li Dongwen arrived, the members of the project team were working together in the factory to conduct an asset evaluation.

The factory covers an area of more than 500 acres, but more than 300 acres have been "privatized" and become living areas. The remaining production workshops, warehouses, workshops, etc., are only more than 200 acres, and this part is the state-owned assets to be restructured.

Li Dongwen originally thought that the cable factory was nothing more than a producer of copper wire, but when he walked into the workshop, he was immediately a little dazzled. This process is quite complicated, and the product specifications are also varied.

The current director of the cable factory is a middle-aged man in his forties, Xu Jintai, is a "second generation of electricity", and his parents are retired workers of the cable factory.

Director Xu said: "The main problem faced by our factory is the shortage of raw materials for production. Originally, it was purchased from the Tongcheng Nonferrous Metals Company, but now the non-ferrous metals company cannot supply it, and they are also depleted of copper mines, and there is no copper to smelt...... Importing copper, three or four thousand dollars a ton, and spending foreign exchange, we can't afford it. ”

A ton is only $3,000 or 4,000, which doesn't seem to be that expensive? Li Dongwen is ignorant of the international market of copper, and when he listens to this figure, he naturally thinks it is very cheap.

The liquidation team verified that the cable factory had more than 30 million fixed assets, but owed more than 40 million yuan, mainly arrears of workers' wages, social security funds and bank loans.

Yang Gangjun discussed with the Tongcheng government and proposed a solution, and the Tongcheng government took out 300 acres of land to compensate for the difference in insolvency. The land in the western suburbs will be connected with the cable factory and approved as industrial land.

With an investment of tens of millions, Li Dongwen waved his hand and it was decided.

The boss made a decision, and the project signing progressed rapidly. This cable factory was placed under the management of Taohuaxian Copper City Company, and was in charge of Qin Weimin and Jiang Haibo.

On the day of signing the contract, Qin Weimin allocated 50 million yuan to pay off all kinds of arrears of the cable factory, especially the arrears of employees' wages, and paid them all at once.

The organizational structure of the cable factory is basically sound, Qin Weimin has not made major changes, Xu Jintai is still the factory director, and he only sent a few financial and administrative personnel to control the core departments.

Qin Weimin's first move was to raise wages.

The minimum wage for in-service employees has been raised to the unified standard of Taohuaxian Company: 1,500 yuan.

As soon as this initiative came out, the whole factory was in an uproar!

Originally, I thought that the new official would take office with three fires, whether it was going to lay off employees. Which Cheng thought, not only did not lay off employees, but also raised wages, and raised wages by a large margin!

Li Dongwen did not stay here for long, he still has more important things to solve, the supply of raw materials for the cable factory.

He went to look for copper.
