Chapter 164: Hardship
The first time Jiang Ran came to Shenzhen with the inspectors of Ranfeng Group, he met the leader of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, and after chatting with Secretary Liang, the topic slowly turned to business.
Secretary Liang picked up the white porcelain teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I only knew that you Ranfeng were going to build a garment factory, but I don't know how big the specific plan is?"
Jiang Ran put away the smile on his face, and said: "Secretary Liang, Secretary General Wu, we have a clothing brand under Ranfeng - Oriental Charm Clothing, originally our production was completed through OEM manufacturers, but now our market size is getting bigger and bigger, and the annual sales can reach two or three billion Hong Kong dollars, so we have the idea of independent production." ”
Jiang Ran first briefly introduced the turnover of Oriental Charm Clothing to Secretary Liang and the others, on the one hand, to solve Secretary Liang's doubts, and on the other hand, to show the strength of Ranfeng Group in the Shenzhen government.
When Secretary Liang heard Jiang Ran talk about the annual sales of two or three billion Hong Kong dollars of Oriental Charm Clothing, he was slightly surprised, looked at Secretary General Wu, and saw surprise in his eyes.
Before Jiang Ran's Ranfeng Group contacted Shenzhen, they didn't know much about Ranfeng and Jiang Ran, and through the information transmitted to them by Hong Kong's Xinhua News Agency, it can be known that the main business of Ranfeng Group is the film and television media industry, although it mentions Oriental Charm Company, but its scale is not very clear.
Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency, Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, and even Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the main reason why they attach importance to Ranfeng's inspection is because of the influence of Jiang Ran and Ranfeng Group in Hong Kong public opinion.
"Originally, I only heard that Mr. Jiang and Ranfeng Group have amazing achievements in film and television, but I didn't expect your company to have such great achievements in clothing business. Secretary-General Wu answered the compliment at the right time.
Jiang Ran only smiled slightly at Secretary General Wu's compliment, and then said on the topic just now: "Secretary General Wu has won the award, and our Ranfeng has actually been in charge of clothing no later than the film and television industry. Last year, we completed the preliminary layout in Southeast Asia, and this year we began to enter the Japanese market, cooperating with Daiei, and now the market development in Japan has been preliminarily completed. ”
Jiang Ran said this, looked at Secretary Liang and the two who were gradually interested, and then said confidently: "At this stage, our market development has initially completed the layout, and after a period of market stability, we will carry out the second round of expansion, and then the requirements for production output will be further expanded, which is why we want to inspect and build factories in the mainland." ”
Secretary Liang understood what Jiang Ran meant, and the reason why Ran Feng chose to inspect Shenzhen was that construction costs and labor costs were the main reasons why they considered Shenzhen.
"Mr. Jiang rest assured, we in Shenzhen absolutely welcome and support Hong Kong investors like you, and there are special policies and measures for land and taxation for the construction of factories. ”
Secretary Liang explained to Jiang Ran very enthusiastically. He treats Jiang Ran now, and he is no longer just because of Ran Feng's influence in public opinion, and he is carrying out political tasks. He thinks more about how to really keep Ranfeng's project in Shenzhen, which is a real economic benefit for Shenzhen.
After listening to Secretary Liang's words, Jiang Ran also said happily: "Then thank you Secretary Liang, I just want to know about the investment promotion policy of our Shenzhen Special Economic Zone." ”
"Mr. Jiang rest assured, our investment policy will definitely satisfy you. Secretary-General Wu said on the side.
Jiang Ran smiled and nodded to Secretary-General Wu, then looked at the two of them and asked directly: "Secretary Liang, Secretary-General Wu, before the formal inspection, I still have some doubts, I don't know if it is inconvenient for Fang to consult?"
Secretary Liang and Secretary-General Wu glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, "The meat drama is coming." ”
"Mr. Jiang, please speak!" Secretary Liang put away the smile on his face and said with a straight face.
Jiang Ran was not polite, "Secretary Liang, first of all, I want to know whether your government's policy will change, although it is a little unreasonable and presumptuous. However, I do have some apprehension about this. ”
During the time that Secretary Liang was in charge of Shenzhen in the past two years, he had contact with many foreign businessmen, and many people were worried about policies, so he did not hesitate to answer Jiang Ran immediately.
"Mr. Jiang, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has been specially set aside by China as a window for exchanges and contacts between China and the world, and it has been specially approved by the CPC Central Committee and praised by the General Secretary, so Mr. Jiang does not have to worry about policy factors at all. ”
Of course, Jiang Ran knows these things, and his worries about the policy of investment in Shenzhen are not much, as the special zone that the old man personally approved to demarcate, the pilot area of reform and opening up, as long as the old man is still alive, Shenzhen can look at a forbidden area and the bottom line, no matter how big the political turmoil, the possibility of affecting here is very small.
Jiang Ran listened to Secretary Liang's words, nodded, and then asked: "Secretary Liang, the factory we Ran Feng plans to build this time is a labor-intensive industry, and I am more worried about the problem of workers, I don't know if the SAR government can help solve it." ”
Human resources are what Jiang Ran is really worried about, in this era, it is very inconvenient for people on the mainland to go out, and they need a letter of introduction from the unit when they go out, and many people have never left the province or city where they were born in their lives.
Therefore, in this era, ordinary people either work in domestic farming or in state-owned units, and there is no concept of going out to work at all.
In this era when private enterprises have not yet been recognized by the state, people have not yet come out to find a job, of course, they do not have this opportunity, after graduating from school, they are directly assigned to state-owned units, because Jiang Ran is very worried that after his factory is built, there is no one to work for him.
After hearing Jiang Ran's worries, Secretary Liang smiled knowingly, and then said: "It seems that Mr. Jiang has a clear understanding of the situation on the mainland." But you don't have to worry about this problem, after several years of development, our influence in Shenzhen has covered the entire Guangdong Province. Therefore, with the encouragement of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, there are now many farmers in the province whose families are not ideal, and they will take the initiative to look for jobs in Shenzhen, so Mr. Jiang does not have to worry too much. ”
Jiang Ran finally felt a little more at ease when he heard this, but he still continued: "Secretary Liang, the problem of grassroots workers is easy to solve, but in terms of grassroots managers, I don't know if the SAR government can give some support. You also know that we have not been involved in production before, so the human resource reserves in this area are very insufficient. ”
For the grassroots management personnel mentioned by Jiang Ran, Secretary Liang is not as simple as at the beginning, and now the education situation in the whole of China is not optimistic, and all the management talents with academic qualifications have entered the state-owned units, even if the wages in Jiang Ran's factory are higher than those in state-owned enterprises, but in the current environment, others are not necessarily willing to give up their golden jobs to work for Jiang Ran, a capitalist.
When Secretary Liang lowered his head and thought about it, Secretary-General Wu opened his mouth and reminded: "Secretary Liang, do you see if you can invite those experienced old workers who have retired early, they have all retired and should be willing to come out to work." ”
In the 80s, there were many workers who chose to retire early and give their jobs to their children because of their children's work, forming an alternative social form in which the son inherits his father's business.
These people have a lot of work experience and are not very old, so they are the right people to be the grassroots managers of the new factory. Thinking of this, Secretary Liang nodded to Secretary-General Wu, and then said to Jiang Ran: "We can help you contact the right person for Mr. Jiang's question, but whether you can attract talents depends on Mr. Jiang's sincerity." ”
Jiang Ran listened to Secretary Wu's reminder just now, and he had already thought of the key to it, as long as he didn't directly poach people in state-owned enterprises, Jiang Ran believed that with Ran Feng's conditions, he would definitely be able to recruit enough management talents.
"Then thank you Secretary Liang for your support. Jiang Ran laughed and thanked him.
Then the three of them chatted about some details of the construction of the factory, and it was not until close to noon that they came to the State Guest House by car under the reminder of Secretary Shao.
