Chapter 415: Liang Xiaolin's Crisis
The drizzle was dripping outside the window, and Tan Qiping stood in front of the window, looking at the dim rainy night with the courtyard lights outside, and was distraught.
On the desk behind him, there are two reports, one is the provincial safety production expert group to give the city steel group 12.9 explosion accident investigation conclusion report, the other is the city steel group production and operation of the bottom report.
Exploring the causes of the accident, the final conclusion is nothing more than "the accident occurred due to problems such as non-standard production processes, cāo mistakes, and inadequate management", and at present, even if the responsibility for the accident is investigated, to what extent, the city can still control the situation.
The key issue is how to rectify the production and operation of the city steel in the future, and how to eliminate the impact of the 12.9 explosion accident on the city steel, so as not to let the bleak situation of the city steel affect the overall situation of the city's party and government economic work, which is Tan Qiping's headache at the moment.
Although Liang Xiaolin and others are reluctant to uncover the lid of the market steel at this time, some people do not want to carry the black pot of the city steel. For example, Han Shouchun, deputy director of the Municipal Planning Commission, who was appointed to concurrently serve as the general manager of the Municipal Iron and Steel and to preside over the situation in the Municipal Iron and Steel Department, was unwilling to carry this black pot.
If the city steel can barely maintain, can maintain 600,000 tons of steel output every year, and maintain the annual inflow and outflow of more than 1 billion funds, then the city steel is undoubtedly the most fertile oil and water in Donghua at present - but if the city steel can not even pay workers' wages, and even normal production and operation can not be maintained, at this time, if the problem is not poked out, in a few months this black pot will fall on whose head, it is difficult to say.
How could Han Shouchun be willing to be a scapegoat for others?
The 12.9 explosion accident was almost fatal to the city steel.
Nearly 3 million yuan in compensation was paid to the 12 workers who died in the accident, and even the direct loss of tens of millions of yuan caused by the explosion accident to the heavy machine steel casting workshop of the city steel is secondary.
Originally, the rotary machine casting project of Zhujiang Hydropower was a large order received by Shigang in the second half of the year, and even whether it could pay wages and bonuses to workers in time at the end of the year, the whole factory was counting on this project.
At this time, there was a big problem in this project, Zhujiang Hydropower because two female supervisors were killed in the 12.9 spray explosion accident, not only had to break the previous cooperation agreement with the city steel, would not pay for the previous delivery of castings, and even had to recover liquidated damages and high compensation from the city steel.
The direct and indirect losses caused by the 12.9 explosion accident to the city steel are likely to exceed 40 million.
For the Municipal Iron and Steel Group, which has long relied on demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall and barely maintaining its operations, such a big loss has directly pushed it to the brink of financial collapse.
In the two accidents, the province ordered the city steel to stop production and rectify it completely, and the rectification did not meet the requirements, and it was strictly forbidden to resume production.
Production is not sustainable, and the supply to downstream enterprises cannot be sustained, which also involves breach of contract.
Downstream enterprises are likely to be unable to recover liquidated damages from the city, but the money left by the city steel in the downstream enterprises that have not been recovered in time should not be easily recovered, and it will inevitably become a bad debt.
Although the city steel has stopped production for rectification, the upstream enterprises that supply iron ore, scrap steel, coal power and other production raw materials to the city steel will not stop collecting the payment from the city steel for the goods previously delivered. By the end of the year, this kind of debt contradiction will become more and more intensified, and last year's debt crisis of the city forging plant is a precedent.
At this time, the cumulative total amount of loans and interest owed to various banks of the provincial bank on the bright side was as high as 600 million.
The principal of these loans can not be repaid for the time being, but the interest is not paid when it is due, and the banks are not all vegetarians, not to mention that they will refuse to provide funds to the city steel to maintain its operation, and it is not an unimaginable thing to directly freeze the capital accounts of the city steel in various banks, and directly transfer away the little working capital left by the city steel.
At present, it is already mid-December, and there are more than ten days to go, that is, the year-end fiscal quarter settlement date, and the city steel will repay the short-term debts and interest due to the banks, with a total of 90 million.
At present, the existing funds for production turnover are only more than 20 million, and there are some debts receivable, but the current domestic triangular debt situation is bad, and there are debts abroad, but it does not mean that the money can be recovered in time.
Even if the deeper problems behind it have not been fully exposed, under the current multiple blows, the city steel is already shaky and almost unable to support it.
Gu Tong's resignation and Zhou Jian and others gave Jingfang control, so that the existing management of Shigang could not rectify their work with peace of mind, and ordinary workers were even more panicked and could not see where the way out was.
In this case, Han Shouchun did not decisively poke out the problem, and waited for three or five months, until it could not be delayed, and the problem of Shigang always broke out, and it was not so easy for him to clear his responsibilities at that time.
Han Shouchun's conclusion at the end of the report is also very simple, to let Shigang survive this crisis, it will need money. If the city steel can obtain 200 million supplementary funds by the end of the year, the crisis can be relatively easily overcome.
The raindrops hit the windowsill, and the rainfoam splashed into the house, hitting Tan Qiping's body, and he didn't feel it.
Tan Qiping turned around and looked at Liang Xiaolin, who was sitting on the sofa silently for a long time, and didn't ask anything.
He also had no way to pull Han Shouchun over and scold him, indeed, without capital replenishment, it would be difficult for the situation of Shigang to support anyone in the past.
Tan Qiping has two problems at present, one is where to raise this fund, and the other is how to supplement the funds to the city steel, and how to ensure that the production of the city steel can be restored to the normal track, instead of swallowing up the bottomless pit of the city steel.
"Can the credit union withdraw funds by the end of the year, opening its mouth to ask for 200 million is too much, can the credit union first withdraw 20 or 30 million to the city steel to respond to the emergency?" Tan Qiping walked behind the desk and sat down, now he always has to bite the bullet and find a way to solve the problem.
Of course, Tan Qiping can push all the problems to the government, but completely to the government, Gao Tianhe is not a vegetarian, and he will inevitably push all the problems and responsibilities to Liang Xiaolin, the executive vice mayor in charge of industry, finance, and production safety, as much as possible.
In the end, if Shigang can't maintain the situation and collapses, Gao Tianhe will inevitably push Liang Xiaolin out as a scapegoat.
In the current situation, Tan Qiping can't push Liang Xiaolin out as a scapegoat, otherwise it will only make him more isolated and passive in Donghua.
Hearing Tan Qiping ask, Liang Xiaolin's face was even more bitter.
At present, the city can directly command the city credit union.
Because of the command, whenever there is any mess in the city, other banks are unwilling to come forward, they will command the city credit union to go up to fill the gap.
As a result, the city's credit unions have a much higher loan bad debt rate than other banks, becoming another mess in the city.
By the end of the year, not to mention that the lending quota of the city credit union has been exhausted, there is no excess funds to be released to the city steel to tide over the current crisis, and the city credit union itself is afraid that this time it will also drag the city into a serious crisis.
Over the years, the accumulated interest on loans issued by the city credit cooperatives to the city steel has totaled nearly 250 million yuan, and by the end of the year, the short-term debts and interest that the city steel should pay to the city credit unions are almost 40 million.
At this time, the city credit union not only can no longer provide loans to the city steel, but also desperately hopes to recover the 40 million due debts of the city steel, otherwise the city credit union may not be able to drag on this year.
In the past few years since the establishment of the urban credit cooperative, the balance of loans has only been six or seven billion yuan, and nearly forty percent of the loans occupied by the city steel have been occupied. If the city steel collapses, the city credit union will also collapse.
In the past, the crisis did not happen, and many problems could be concealed, anyway, everyone is used to reporting good news and not bad news, but the current crisis is likely to not be able to survive, and if the problem is not explained clearly, I am afraid that there will be no problem to explain clearly.
Listening to Liang Xiaolin's explanation of the relationship between the City Credit Union and Shigang, Tan Qiping's back was faintly cold, looking at Liang Xiaolin and them, his eyes were also vaguely angry, he didn't know, how could the problem suddenly become so serious?
"Except for the credit union, it's the end of the year, what other institution can free up this fund?" Tan Qiping knew that it was not a way to get angry at the moment, and it was not yet time to push the problem to Gao Tianhe, so he tried his best to control his emotions and ask for possible solutions.
"Several banks such as the Bank of China and the Construction Bank may not be able to come up with a large amount of funds by the end of the year, and they may also have a little more funds in the hands of the Credit Bank. Liang Xiaolin said that he is in charge of financial, industrial and other government affairs, and he is still clear about the financial institutions in Donghua City.
Although the bank has only been in Donghua for a short time to set up branches, it has developed extremely rapidly.
Meigang, Huailian, Huaineng, Pengyue and other enterprises have set up business credit banks with their main capital accounts, and mainly entrust industry credit banks to handle financial business, so that more affiliated enterprises are tied to industry credit bank, which makes the development speed of industry credit bank can be described as leaps and bounds.
The total investment of Feiqi Industry and BIIC in Huailian Heavy Industry is as high as 40 million US dollars, as well as a large amount of foreign exchange bond financing newly obtained by Meigang, which will be converted into RMB for domestic use after entering the country.
It is impossible for such a large amount of funds to be used up all at once, and a large number of construction and production reserve funds are temporarily deposited in the accounts of various enterprises in the accounts of the Karma Credit Bank and become the deposit balance of the Karma Credit Bank.
By the end of '95, the balance of deposits in Donghua had risen to 1.8 billion yuan, and this also greatly supported the bank's lending capacity.
By the end of the year, if there is any bank in Donghua City that has taken out hundreds of millions of funds, it is only Yexin Bank.
The real problem is that the city has no way to directly order the bank to lend money to the city.
"Have you contacted Zhang Lisheng?" Tan Qiping asked.
"Zhang Lisheng said that he would do research on the specific situation of Shigang, but he did not give an exact response," Liang Xiaolin said, "Shall I go to Shen Huai?"
Liang Xiaolin couldn't care about the problem of face or shame in front of him.
If the current crisis can be overcome, it is not enough for Gu Tong to be a scapegoat, if he wants to keep his position, he will not feel embarrassed that he bows his head to Shen Huai once, the key is what Tan Qiping thinks in his heart?
