Chapter 351: Joint Venture Matters
It is not all smooth sailing for Holley to enter the country under the hat of foreign capital, and the first joint venture object is a headache for the leaders of the city.
At the beginning, in order to promote the investment of Holley, the land was allocated when the joint venture object was not determined, and the factory was built in the name of the city, of course, the money was paid by Holley.
Now the factory building is almost completed, and the production line will soon be shipped from the United States, but the joint venture partner of this computer factory has not yet been determined, and in a legal sense, Holley Computer Company does not yet exist.
The main reason why Zhong Yuemin was able to agree to this twisted plan was because he understood too well the difficulties of doing something practical in the system, and the upper-level leaders made a decision, but how to implement it and what the results were no one had opened their eyes, and everyone had to consider the risks and benefits.
Not only Cui Yang is anxious, but the city leaders are also anxious, why?
Because the few electronic instrument factories in the city that can connect with computers are unwilling, not only are the leaders of each factory unwilling to have multiple fathers on their heads, but the workers are even more unwilling to lose their jobs in state-owned enterprises.
No matter how the city leaders do their work, they are not willing to say that a few qualified factories are unwilling, until the news was released recently, Holley factory has built more than 1,000 houses, to be distributed to the employees of the joint venture factory, the minimum is two bedrooms and one living room 70 square meters, all of a sudden touched everyone's heartstrings.
The No. 2 Municipal Radio Factory is a typical example of this, the factory mainly produces radios and television receivers, and the benefits have been good in recent years, and the welfare of workers is also very good; the trade union often distributes grain and oil noodles in winter, popsicles and soap gloves in summer, and gets married and has children. The canteen in the factory is also quite cheap, and there are often some hard dishes, and the cigarettes in the commissary are three cents cheaper than outside.
However, a few years ago, a large number of educated youths returned to the city, and many old workers in the factory took early retirement to let their sons and daughters go to work in the factory.
Then these young workers began to talk about their partners, and they wanted to get married and have children, which involved the problem of the house.
On the book of the logistics department, there have been three or four hundred people waiting in line to divide the room, and the young workers who entered the factory later want to divide the house, which is called moving the ladder to the sky - no way!
It's not that the factory doesn't want to build a house, but this land is difficult to approve, in recent years, the city has firmly grasped the right to approve construction land, not to mention their factory, that is, some ministries and commissions have not built new houses for several years!
Suddenly, a fragrant dumpling appeared under his eyelids, and almost all the units were staring at it!
"Hey, have you heard?"
In the cafeteria, a group of young people gathered together, holding an enamel rice bowl in their hands.
"Dahui, what news do you know? Is the subsidy going to be raised in the factory again?"
"Subsidies are all trivial!" said the young worker named Dahui: "Have you heard that the factory is going to make a joint venture with that American company!"
"Cut! This has been going on for years, who doesn't know?" someone retorted.
"This time it's different from before!" Daiki emphasized, "I was rejected by the leaders above before!
Immediately someone asked, "What does this mean?"
"Divide the house!" Daiki said as he looked around and lowered his voice.
"Divide the house?" exclaimed those who listened attentively.
"······Shhh Be quiet!" Daiki hurriedly exclaimed.
A young worker who had a slightly better relationship with him hurriedly asked: "Dahui, your second uncle is the leader of the factory, you can quickly tell us what is going on!"
Dahui hesitated, "I'll tell you about this, but you must spread it!"
"Rest assured, rest assured ······"
······
I don't know why it was in a psychiatric hospital, or even what era it was, but the people here were dressed in the clothes of the history books, and there were cars running on the ground outside the window!
I couldn't wake up my robot companions, I didn't get any help, I felt like a blind man who had lost his light, a blind man who had lost his hearing, and this feeling scared me.
Even my face has completely changed, no, it's not me! This face is beautiful, about thirty years old, and her face is full of sorrow, what is she worried about?
I don't know, I can only pretend to be a good psycho, run away from those fierce people in white, curl up in the corner, and protect myself with my knees and long hair.
My name is Qin Chu, I was born on Venus in 2050, I am a Venusian generation born in outer space, and I have never returned to my home planet.
My parents were first-generation Venus immigrants, and they will always miss everything on Earth, the air, the blue sky, the forests, the oceans, and the strange animals that I can only see in the e-library.
Thinking of this, I hate that Yankee named Elon Musk a little, if it weren't for his boastful dream of the so-called immigrant Venus, which set off a space competition for the immigrant Venus of the world's hegemonic countries, I wouldn't have been born in this wild place at all!
Finally, when I became an adult, despite my reluctance to let my parents go, I chose to return to Earth aboard the Endeavour spacecraft to find out where we came from.
Many of my classmates who graduated with me also made the same choice as me, and we happily boarded the Endeavour, but we didn't expect that this would be our end.
While passing through the moon, Endeavour suddenly malfunctioned and disintegrated in the air, and I was instantly pulled out of the capsule by the huge air current, and time stopped instantly, only to see a huge Endeavour burst out with a fireball, and I gradually lost consciousness.
I thought it was all over.
But I didn't expect this legendary man who appeared in the history books to appear in front of me, he was younger than in the history books, he looked at me gently, calling Qin Ling's name, I didn't dare to respond, for fear that he would recognize that it was not Qin Ling in front of him.
Fortunately, the doctor's diagnosis covered me, and I could pretend that I didn't know anything, and follow him from this place called Hong Kong to the Commonwealth of America, and then follow him back to my parents' homeland of China.

"Mr. Cui, these people have too much appetite!" said one of the advisers in the negotiation advisory group angrily, "If you look for them to divide the way, our houses will not reach the factory workers at all!"
"Hmph! The house is a trivial matter, the joint venture company can't change the leader, can't dismiss the staff, so what else do we have to do?!" another consultant said angrily, "These people don't understand the market economy at all!"
"Let's talk to the leaders of the city and even the central government, and this time to the leaders of the factories below, it's like talking to stones!"
"It's not that they don't understand, but they have touched their vital interests, and they all want to take advantage! The leaders of these electronic instrument factories are the same thing!"
Someone suggested, "Why don't we reflect with the leaders above?"
"No!" Cui Yang denied: "The big leader above is only responsible for making decisions, but the specific cooperation conditions can only be negotiated by ourselves, if it is all pressed from above, this cooperation is also very difficult!"
"I don't think these factories want to have a joint venture with us at all!"
"Isn't that right? Now all kinds of electrical factories produce things that are not sold, and if it weren't for the administrative order from above, there would be no joint venture with us!"
As he spoke, everyone fell silent.
"Alright, let's get here today. Cui Yang announced the adjournment of the meeting, "The big boss will come back in the near future, I will report all these situations to him, and I will talk about it when I see the boss's instructions." ”
Everyone nodded and streamed out of the conference room.
······
"Lingling, this is Beijing, do you have an impression of this place?"
Zhong Yuemin noticed that there was something abnormal in Qinling on the plane, and kept staring at the porthole and looking out, without saying a word, as if thinking about something.
Zhong Yuemin thought that she was tired from flying, or recalled some things from the past, so he deliberately found more words to tell her.
Qin Ling shook his head, "There are so many people! The sky is so high!"
"Huh?" Zhong Yuemin didn't understand the meaning of her words, and was about to ask a few more questions, when the car had stopped at the entrance of Huali Commercial Xiamen, and Cui Yang and the person in charge of the company were waiting for him.
Zhong Yuemin deliberately didn't let Cui Yang go to the airport to pick up the plane, he didn't expect her to make such a scene here, he wanted to leave, but considering the team's hard work in China during this time, he didn't want to save their face, so he simply got out of the car alone.
"Welcome Mr. Zhong!" Cui Yang led the group, and the group shouted in unison.
Zhong Yuemin noticed that there was also a red carpet on the ground, and there was a strong wedding wind, "Everyone works hard, I won't enter the company today." That Cui Yang, you follow me to the car, everyone else will be busy!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhong!" everyone replied in unison.
Zhong Yuemin was a little confused, waved his hand, and got into the car.
Cui Yang followed, sat in the co-pilot's seat, turned his head and saw Qin Ling nestled in the seat, obviously stunned for a moment.
"Oh, this is Qin Ling, the girlfriend I mentioned to you!" Zhong Yuemin introduced Cui Yang, "Lingling, this is Cui Yang, I am a young man and my right-hand man! I am two years older than you, called sister." ”
"Sister!" Qin Ling called Cui Yang timidly, and then turned his head to look out the window.
Cui Yang saw that Qin Ling was abnormal, and sent an inquiring gaze to Zhong Yuemin.
"It's a long story, I'll talk about it later!" Zhong Yuemin asked, "Cui Yang, which one did you get just now?"
"This is all the customs of domestic companies, and it also draws on the etiquette of some Hong Kong companies, which seems to pay attention to you!" Cui Yang said with a smile.
"Purify some vanity! I'd rather them go to work with this effort!" Zhong Yuemin said, "Why were you taken away by them?"
"At the beginning, I also emphasized equality, freedom, and efficiency, but after a long time, everyone felt that our company had no strength, and the leading cadres had no prestige. Cui Yang said helplessly: "Those Hong Kong consultants suggested learning from Hong Kong and Taiwan companies, so it became like this." But it's pretty good!"
"Comrade Cui Yang, I have to tell you about ······"
······
"Director Li, can the people of Holley accept these conditions we mentioned?"
"What else can you do if you can't accept them?" Director Li sneered, "Our second factory is already the lightest! You haven't heard the conditions of the first and fourth factories, one is more ruthless than the other!"
"They didn't think about joint ventures at all, and a discerning person would know it at a glance!"
"Then why do we want a joint venture!" Director Li said: "If it weren't for the leaders of the ministry who spoke, I wouldn't have wanted to participate in this negotiation meeting!
"So you want to take the distribution of those houses in your hands and take them into one army? They don't agree, we can just give an explanation to the leaders above!"
"That's it. Director Li sighed, "I regret it when I go out, I'm afraid that Huali will agree with a ruthless heart, then we will be in a dilemma!"
"Factory director, but I think it wouldn't be a bad thing if we could really have a joint venture!"
"Changping, you are the technical backbone of the factory, and you are a college student, tell me your ideas. Director Li encouraged.
"Yes, Director. Qi Changping said: "The products in our factory are basically more than ten years ago, and the technology is several generations behind foreign countries. Although our products are not sold, as more and more foreign companies and goods come in, our products will be eliminated one day. ”
Director Li said: "I also took this into account, so I tried my best to override public opinion and introduce a group of you college students to come in to engage in technical public relations and create new products!"
Li Changping said: "Factory director, I know that you have always supported our work, but our technological innovation is not achieved overnight, and the factory lacks experimental equipment, and there is also a lack of foreign language technical information, every time you report to the factory committee, it is either rejected or discounted, we ......"
"Changping, I know what you said!" Director Li said earnestly: "But there are also difficulties in the factory, all the things you want have to be bought from foreign countries, and they are not cheap, and they have to use foreign exchange! If you can buy them with RMB, no matter how expensive they are, I will buy them back for you!"
"But the factory director, we don't have what we need in China!" Qi Changping said helplessly.
"That's why you young people need to show your initiative and have difficulty in customer service......"
Director Li said this, Qi Changping has heard many times, but technology research and development, is really not afraid of hardship and death can be solved, the huge technological gap at home and abroad lies in front of him, do not look at the technological achievements of others, and even do not know the direction of how to catch up.
"Factory director, if we can make a joint venture with Holley, we can learn from their advanced technology and manufacture our own country's computer ......," Qi Changping worked hard.
"This factory will consider it, but the technology of this foreign company is not something we can easily learn!" Director Li stood in a different position, but he didn't want to discourage Qi Changping's enthusiasm, "Go back and several leaders in our factory will meet to study and study!"
As soon as Qi Changping heard this, he knew that this matter was no longer a joke, and it had happened too many times before.
