Chapter 955: Acquisitions and Reforms
……
"Even if it's 30 billion, it's not a small amount, how are you going to raise this money!" After thinking for a while, Jiang Weiguo asked.
"I still have 9% of the shares in Standard Chartered Bank, and if I use these shares as collateral, there should be no problem with a loan of 30 billion Huaxia dollars! Moreover, even if the 30 million tons of steel plant is built, it will take three to five years, and 30 billion does not need to be fully invested, as long as it is invested in the next few years! So, even without a loan, the profits of my current companies are enough to support the construction of a steel plant! Liu Dongdao.
Jiang Weiguo, who knew more about Liu Dong's situation, naturally understood that what he said was true, nodded, and asked again after a little silence: "You should know the situation of Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant, the personnel are bloated, there are many institutions, the products are primary, the equipment performance is too poor, and the municipal party committee and municipal government will not agree to large-scale layoffs and acquisitions, how are you going to solve these difficulties?" ”
As secretary of the municipal party committee, Jiang Weiguo very much hopes to solve the long-standing problem of the Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant during his tenure, but he does not want to pay tens of thousands of workers to lose their jobs, tens of thousands of families to lose their sources of income, and cause social turmoil in the restructuring of enterprises. Compared with economic development, as the leader of the Quancheng Municipal Party Committee, he attaches more importance to stability!
Stability is paramount!
As for how to solve the practical difficulties faced by Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant and revitalize this nearly 50-year-old factory, Liu Dong negotiated several sets of solutions with his growing think tank!
Therefore, in the face of Jiang Weiguo's inquiry, Liu Dong did not hesitate. Said directly: "We already have a specific solution to the matter of Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant!" ”
"Oh?"
looked at Jiang Weiguo's face full of interest. Liu Dong continued: "...... The core problem of Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant is the excess of employees. There are many redundant employees, which is a drag on the development of enterprises, and we have prepared several solutions for this situation. First of all, the municipal government must remove all the administrative staff of Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant! ”
The core of the enterprise is economics, not politics, and many executives who do not understand the steel industry are vegetarian meals, coupled with their connections, which make the Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant of Nuoda lifeless. If the Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant is still a state-owned enterprise. Because of the national conditions, Liu Dong has nothing to do about it, but after he acquires the Second Iron and Steel Plant, he will never allow these people with mediocre skills but occupy high positions to exist, so before he starts a series of reforms for the Second Steel Plant, the first step is to clean up all these moths.
As the saying goes, 'a snake can't do without a head', and any reform is inseparable from a sober brain!
As the head of a city, Jiang Weiguo naturally understood the shortcomings of state-owned enterprises, and he was not surprised by Liu Dong's request.
"Xiaodong, I believe you should know if you have investigated the second steel plant. Not all government officials are mediocre! ”
"Of course I know this, so I am ready to wait until the reform of the second steel mill is completed. Still lives Fang Zhengchun as the new factory director! Liu Dongdao.
Jiang Weiguo is also very familiar with the Fang Zhengchun mentioned in Liu Dong's mouth, this is an old steelworker who has dedicated his youth to the Quancheng Second Steel Plant all his life, and with his qualifications, he can leave the quagmire of the Second Steel Plant and transfer to other better positions like other related cadres in the Second Steel Plant, but he just stayed!
Moreover, in order to raise the funds needed for the reform of the second steel plant, the old factory director went to almost all the departments of Quancheng and the provincial party committee and provincial government, and even the State Council in the capital came more than ten times!
For such a wholeheartedly factory, and in the Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant is well known, experienced, familiar with the management of the talent Liu Dong does not want the other party to leave.
However, there are only a few people in the entire Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant who are as down-to-earth as the old factory director, and who are talented. Otherwise, the once glorious Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant would not have fallen into today's unsustainable state.
After understanding Liu Dong's plan, after thinking for a while, Jiang Weiguo nodded, now the government personnel inside the Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant, if they have anything to do with it, have left a long time ago, and the rest are ordinary people who go in through the back door, and there are not many of them, and most of these people have serious economic problems, even if they are fired, these people will not lose their livelihood!
"What are you going to do with the rest of the ordinary workers?" Jiang Weiguo asked.
The large number of ordinary workers is the difficulty in the restructuring of the Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant, and government personnel are only a minority of them.
For this problem, Liu Dong has long been ready for a solution!
"To solve this problem, we are ready to divide into three parts, first of all, ordinary workers who are over 50 years old and whose business ability is not too outstanding, we will arrange early retirement, of course, we will pay pensions regularly and increase them to a certain extent to ensure their life after retirement!"
“…… Secondly, the construction of the new factory takes time, so we will arrange all the employees to carry out pre-job training, the time is tentatively set for one year, a year later we will conduct the examination, the people who pass the examination will continue to work in the new factory, and the unqualified people will be arranged to work in the construction company under the Huayang Group, although it may be tiring, but to ensure that life is definitely no problem. In addition, my other companies will also absorb some of it! ”
“…… Finally, start-up funding. The company will provide small loans to laid-off workers who have worked in the second steel mill for more than 5 years and have good conduct, and encourage them to engage in low-level industries such as catering, barbering, and small supermarkets, and re-employment after being laid off! …… The three-pronged approach believes that it can solve the problem of bloated personnel in Quancheng No. 2 Steel Plant! ”
Jiang Weiguo, who listened to Liu Dong's words, couldn't help nodding, these plans are very feasible, although a lot of money is definitely needed in the middle, but Liu Dong is not short of funds now.
"Let's go, let's go to the study and talk!"
Jiang Weiguo, who was tickled by Liu Dong, stood up and greeted Liu Dong and walked towards the study next to him!
"Hey, where are you two going? The tea is ready! ”
Jiang Tingting's mother and daughter, who had just come out of the kitchen and walked out with tea, asked in the back.
"I have something to talk about with Xiaodong, you two should cook first!"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Weiguo closed the door of the study with a 'snap'.
"What happened to my dad and Liu Dong?" Jiang Tingting didn't know why.
"Who knows what kind of madness your dad has, let's go, cook with my mother, and tell my mother about Liu Dong by the way!" Saying that, the lady didn't care whether Jiang Tingting wanted it or not, and took her daughter's hand and went into the kitchen again.
At this moment, Liu Dong and Jiang Weiguo, who were already in the study, sat on the sofa around the low table again, the difference was that Jiang Weiguo already had extra pen and paper in his hands!
After asking Liu Dong to say it again, Jiang Weiguo re-recorded the solution he had just made to the No. 2 Steel Plant in his notebook.
"The three policies are good, and they are also a good way to reform the second steel plant, but these alone may not be enough to absorb as many as 70,000 employees of the second steel plant in Quancheng?" Jiang Weiguo thought for a while and then said.
As the secretary of the Quancheng Municipal Party Committee, he has studied the restructuring of the Second Steel Plant more than once, so he is very familiar with the problems that exist in Quancheng and even in the entire Dongshan Province!
"Therefore, we hope that the municipal government can support our merger of Yang Ming Group and Shangyuan Group!" Liu Dong stated his purpose.
The second steel mill is a big burden, although Liu Dong has the heart to invest in the steel industry, and also looks at a large number of skilled workers in the second steel mill, but he is not a saint after all, just a layman who pursues profit maximization, so if he can take this opportunity to fight for better conditions for himself, Liu Dong will naturally not refuse.
What's more, whether it is the real estate, commercial real estate, home decoration design, tooling design, public works construction and so on engaged in by Shangyuan Group, it can form a very strong complement to Huayang Group, especially the construction qualification of Shangyuan Group, as well as a large number of construction engineers and experienced construction teams are coveted by Liu Dong.
As for Yang Ming Group, as the fundamental company holding Shangyuan Group, in addition to real estate and real estate-related industries, Yang Ming Group is also the largest supermarket chain company, hotel chain company and foreign trade company in Dongshan Province! There are 192 supermarkets in two sub-provincial cities, 15 prefecture-level cities, 31 county-level cities, and 60 counties in Dongshan Province; 2 five-star hotels, 12 four-star hotels, 21 resort hotels; The foreign trade company has branches in South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, excluding the shares of Shangyuan Group, but the total asset value of the three branches of Yang Ming Group exceeds 3 billion Chinese dollars!
Liu Dong values Yangming Group, one is that its hotel group can quickly expand the scale of Jiahua Group's hotels, and the other supermarket retail business has a low threshold, has the ability to expand rapidly, and can absorb laid-off personnel with low education level to the greatest extent.
As for the foreign trade company is purely a partner, Liu Dong doesn't care too much.
Also, the reason why Liu Dong values Shangyuan Group and Yangming Group is mainly because he controls these two groups, and Wen Li, who wants to put him to death, has been put in prison by him.
The process is the same as when he dealt with the Han father and son, a company that is so closely connected with the government department, and the scale is so large, how can it be clean, Liu Dong only took three nights to get what he wanted.
The next thing is simple, put the evidence on the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, even if the officials protect each other, but it is impossible for these two departments to all become a miasma, after all, modern times are not so closed as in ancient times!
However, because of the large number of people involved, the provincial party committee and the Quancheng municipal party committee and government did not make a noise, but the reshuffle within the government has been launched, Zhong Changtao was undoubtedly sentenced to death, Wen Li was imprisoned, dozens of government officials involved in the case were directly sentenced to heavy sentences if the circumstances were serious, and the rest were also sent to the people's congress and other idle yamen, waiting for retirement, and basically faded out of the government power system.
