Chapter 355: Huizhou Agricultural Machinery Factory
"Mayor Zhuang, this time, I want to ask, what type of enterprise needs us to renovate?"
"Actually, there are a lot of them, but I want to ask you, what kind of enterprise reform will produce the fastest results? Mayor Zhuang replied with a smile.
"This ...... There is no fixed template. We also have to tailor it to the company. Peng Bin replied to him.
"What if it's an agricultural machinery factory?" Vice Mayor Zhuang reminded.
"It depends on what kind of goal you want to achieve? Is it to solve the problem of survival, or do you want to reach the international lead?" Peng Bin asked rhetorically.
"Haha! Of course, it is an international leader, if it is just to survive, it is better to go bankrupt and go bankrupt. Because there is a time limit for survival, technology is advancing all the time, and if you can survive now, you may be in crisis in half a year. Vice Mayor Zhuang said boldly.
"Mayor Zhuang, let me tell you this! We have the ability to achieve the goals you want, but the charging standards are not the same, if you want to reach the international leadership, there may not be much of the shares left in the transformed enterprises. The so-called gains come losses. Therefore, please think carefully. Peng Bin replied arrogantly.
It is true that he is not to blame for being tsundere, because he has the capital of tsundere. Everwin Investment Group's enterprise solutions include not only technology solutions, but also financial investments. They have the ability to transform a small enterprise into an international large enterprise, think about it, how many shares are left in the original enterprise?
"Well, in that case, can we increase the capital at the same time?" Vice Mayor Zhuang asked again. In the nineties, state-owned capital had to account for more than 51/100 shares, which was a national policy, otherwise no leader would dare to make a decision.
"Yes, Mayor Zhuang, let's tell you this! We don't care how many shares we have, we just treat it as a business, and you can even renovate it as a wholly owned company. Peng Bin replied very angrily.
"Oh, is it? What kind of way is the wholly-owned renovation?" asked Vice Mayor Zhuang with great interest. Peng Bin is the same wealthy master, Huizhou Municipal Government is also rich and oily, if it can be fully invested, Vice Mayor Zhuang also wants to try his best.
"That is, we will measure the cost of the renovation with a specific amount, and we can not occupy the shares. This kind of transformation is suitable for state-owned enterprises, and the government still retains 100 percent of the state-owned shares, which is easy to explain to all aspects, but the money spent is more conspicuous.
Mayor Zhuang, I suggest that you fully fund the transformation. There will be a lot less follow-up trouble, after all, if the government holds less shares in the joint venture, there is a suspicion of selling state-owned assets cheaply. Peng Bin explained, and suggested to Vice Mayor Zhuang. In fact, Peng Bin himself does not want to take the shares of state-owned enterprises, which is equivalent to taking a hot potato in his hands.
"Well, what you said is right, then let's choose a small enterprise to experiment first, and if it proves that the wholly-owned transformation is indeed feasible, we will follow this method in the future."
Well...... The scale is not large, with only a few hundred laid-off workers. Agricultural machinery factories have long ceased production due to backward technology. Machinery and equipment and plants must be updated, and the enterprise management system and employee compensation system must be reconstructed.
I have these two requirements, and I don't know the specific way to transform, so I will entrust you with carte blanche to do so. The plant has been shut down for a long time, and there is a strong willingness on the part of employees and management to reform, which is relatively easy to renovate. Vice Mayor Zhuang made a decision.
"Okay! Since Mayor Zhuang has decided, then I will talk about our company's two requirements, the first is that you need Mayor Zhuang to sign the discretionary power of attorney agreement. This is the premise of our work.
The second is that the government must pay the costs incurred in the process of transformation in a timely manner, otherwise it will affect the process and effect of the transformation. Since it is a wholly owned renovation, we are not responsible for all the costs, we only provide the most professional service. Peng Bin agreed with Vice Mayor Zhuang's decision, and at the same time said his two requirements.
Vice Mayor Zhuang agreed with Peng Bin's request, so Peng Bin took out a thick carte blanche transformation contract from his briefcase, and asked Vice Mayor Zhuang to sign on the column of Party A one by one, and he himself signed in the column of Party B at the same time, and the contract was in duplicate. It is a contract template prepared by Dingtian Law Firm, and when Peng Bin comes out, he only needs to print out the column of Party A out of the Huizhou Municipal Government.
The entire entrustment contract has more than 20 pages, so Peng Bin and Vice Mayor Zhuang each have to sign more than 20 names. Fortunately, the two parties are familiar with each other, and Party A is the government, so Deputy Mayor Zhuang did not review the terms of the contract, and he believed that Changsheng Investment Consulting Management Co., Ltd. did not dare to pit the government, so he waved his pen and signed it in a few clicks. After the secretary took the official seal of the government office and stamped more than 20 seals, the contract officially came into effect. Peng Bin stretched out his right hand to Vice Mayor Zhuang and said, "Mayor Zhuang, happy cooperation." I hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate next time, I will stay soon, and I will go back to the company for a meeting and arrange work. See you soon!"
"Goodbye!" Vice Mayor Zhuang stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Peng Bin and said. Of course, he hoped that Peng Bin could go back as soon as possible to arrange for people to go to Huizhou Agricultural Machinery Factory, so he didn't say much, only said goodbye.
Huizhou Agricultural Machinery Factory was established in the sixties and seventies, due to its small scale, it is only a state-owned enterprise wholly owned by the Huizhou Municipal Government, not a provincial ministry.
The technology is backward, and there is no manufacturing capacity for major parts, only simple machining, sand turning and other rough technology, and there is no product design ability, basically imitating the products of other large agricultural machinery factories, such as: pumping machine, small rice beater, small ploughing machine, old-fashioned horizontal oil press and so on. Since entering the 90s, due to the lack of the government's hard apportionment, the products cannot be sold, so they have to stop production and wait for the government's rescue.
Small businesses like this were originally bankrupt and closed, but now they are lucky to be selected on the first batch of transformation lists because of their small scale.
Peng Bin attaches great importance to this transformation, and after he returned to Changsheng Building, he convened the main management, held a working meeting, and arranged for people to go to Huizhou Agricultural Machinery Factory to investigate and find out.
It took the staff two days to fully understand the real situation of Huizhou Agricultural Machinery Factory. Let's put it this way: Except for the land, there is only one factory name left, and everything else is not qualified.
First of all, the factory is dilapidated, and Peng Bin is sure that he doesn't need to go there, so he punched this option with a red pen with a big X.
Second, he looked at the factory's roster of employees and found that out of a total of 518 employees, 389 were over 50 years old, and the remaining 129 employees were all over 40 years old. In other words, the factory miraculously has no young employees, and the aging population is serious. As a result, the investigation team determined that the plant did not have qualified employees.
When you are old, you must be completely ignorant of CNC equipment, in fact, this factory does not have CNC equipment.
The reason why this factory has no young employees is not that they have no offspring, but that they don't want their children to take over their shifts, including themselves, and the factory is located in Huizhou, a developed coastal city, so it's better to do something than to stay in the factory and wait for death.
The working relationship of the rest of the retired employees has long been transferred to the Civil Affairs Bureau to receive retirement salaries, because the factory does not pay retirement salaries at all. The remaining employees also want to retire early and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their retirement salaries.
The machinery and equipment are all old and in disrepair, and they were judged to be unqualified by the investigation team, which Peng Bin is sure of without going to the scene, so he hit two big red X's after the two options.
That's the current state of the factory, except for the land that is a little useful, everything else is useless. Even the name of the factory is not worth much, because they have already completely defeated the factory, and their reputation is already stinky, and it is not beautiful to use this name again.
Based on the current situation, Peng Bin and the management agreed on a renovation plan, and then submitted the report to Vice Mayor Zhuang for approval.
The transformation is all-round, which is equivalent to helping the Huizhou municipal government re-establish an enterprise. First of all, all employees will be retired, and all their working relationships will be transferred to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Then, after the transformation of the enterprise is completed, the difficult employees will be rehired according to the situation. There are always some low-tech jobs in the factory, such as: sanitation workers, staff canteen workers, doormen, porters and so on.
In the newly established factory, the employees are all contract workers, and skilled young people are selected from the society, regardless of their household registration, but only on the basis of skills. The management is re-selected by the government, which is an employment relationship, and the government can choose whether to re-appoint the management according to their performance in the previous year. Note that it is an overall choice, that is, the management is shared with the general manager, unless the management reports the general manager's violations and corruption to the government, otherwise the whole party is together, which is a further version of the general manager's responsibility system.
The second important transformation content is the enterprise positioning, that is, the future product positioning of this new company. After comprehensive judgment, Peng Bin believes that the profit margin of continuing to manufacture small agricultural machinery products is too low and does not conform to the principle of profit maximization. So they tailor-made a product for the new business, a small gasoline engine.
Small gasoline engines are used in a wide range of applications, not only in the agricultural industry, but also in other industries. The more commonly used products on the market are Japanese brands, such as Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki. Among them, Honda's products are the most widely sold and are used in all walks of life. Suzuki and Yamaha's products may be a price issue, and they are only used on motorcycles and other special-purpose vehicles.
However, domestic brands have completely failed in this field, and it is rare to see products using domestic small power. Also, because the price of small gasoline engines is cheap, domestic brands have no competitive advantage, and ordinary users choose products only to recognize Japanese products, that is, Honda engines. Because Honda's engine has excellent performance, low noise, and durable operation and fuel economy. All these advantages are combined, and it is no wonder that users only recognize it.
