Chapter Eighty-Seven: The "Good Intentions" of the Province
Chapter Eighty-Seven: The "Good Will" in the Province
At 3 p.m., the first meeting ended in vain.
Yang Junyi, Guan Xingye, Ma Yongfu and others set off to return to Fengyuan, their attendance was more of a show of the local government's support for the Fang family in Qinxi Province, since they had reached their goal, they naturally would not stay longer, only Zhao Xu'an stayed.
As for Guo Degang's eight people, as soon as they sent Yang Junyi and them away, they couldn't wait to rush to their respective rooms in the guest house of Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory, so that they could report the content of the meeting to the headquarters as soon as possible.
"Fang Shao, Director Fang is in the limelight this time, I believe it won't be long before the name Fang Sheng will be famous in the Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry!" Zhao Xuan grabbed Fang Mingyuan and walked side by side with him.
"Isn't this all the face given by the leaders? Fang Mingyuan smiled. At today's negotiation meeting, Fang Shengzai, who was on the Fang family's side, was mainly in charge of the negotiations, Kalevsky and Nikhalovsky were on the side, and Fang Mingyuan was mainly observing. Although Fang Sheng is only the deputy director of Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory, he is 108,000 miles away from those CEOs in terms of level, but he is the eldest son of the Fang family and Fang Mingyuan's father.
"Okay, okay, Fang Shao, don't talk to me. We're old friends too!" Zhao Xu'an pretended to be dissatisfied, "If you want to do this again, I'll go talk to Brother Fang." β
"Uncle Zhao, then you say what you say!" Fang Mingyuan is naturally as good as a stream.
"Fang Shao, I just want to ask, can you give our local state-owned iron and steel enterprises in Qinxi Province a chance, so that they can also participate in this meeting?" Zhao Xuan stared at Fang Mingyuan's eyes and said. Although Qinxi Province is not a large steel production province, there are many iron and steel enterprises in the province, and now they are also facing problems such as aging equipment, low added value of products, and shrinking market.
If the Fang family plans to set up a factory in Qinxi Province, Zhao Xu'an will naturally not talk about it, but as far as he knows, the Fang family has not built a steel plant in a short period of time.
"Uncle Zhao, it's not that I don't consider the enterprises in our province, but among the iron and steel enterprises in our province, which one can be comparable to the Jinggang Group and Haibao Iron and Steel Group? Fang Mingyuan said distressedly, "Even if I let them participate, will the provincial finance be able to support their Jishu introduction and equipment transformation costs?"
Zhao Xu'an was silent for a long time, Fang Mingyuan was also telling the truth, at present, these enterprises in Qinxi Province are accumulating a lot of money one by one, and if they want to pay their own money to obtain Jishu authorization, it can only be four words - daydreaming! But the provincial finance...... Although he is only the deputy mayor of Fengyuan City, he still knows a little about the financial situation of the province. If you want to make the province pay for it, it's difficult!
"Then let me ask Fang Shao, does the Fang family have any interest in merging these iron and steel enterprises in the province?" Zhao Xu'an said bluntly.
Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "This is what Uncle Zhao meant?"
Zhao Xu'an grinned and said: "Fang Shao, you also think too highly of me, it is related to the iron and steel enterprises in the province, how can I decide, a small deputy mayor of Fengyuan." Of course, this is the meaning of the province, let me explore the road first. If you mean this, the province will vigorously support your merger of these enterprises, and will favor you in terms of policies and loans. β
Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Uncle Zhao, you have always supported the development of our family's industry, so I will also give you a good idea." To be honest, although I don't know the specific situation of these iron and steel companies in the province, I can imagine the general situation. Most of these enterprises, the equipment is in the fifties and sixties, and there are not many in the seventies and eighties, and the production jishu is aging. Moreover, there are many retired employees in the factory, and the pressure on funds is very great. The ones who are really valuable are those workers. The merger does not mean much to our family. On the contrary, we need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to transform these enterprises, and it is really better to build a new factory without worry. Is this a suspicion of losing the burden in the province?"
Zhao Xu'an was a little gloomy, Fang Mingyuan was also telling the truth, and it was precisely because it was the truth that he had nothing to refute.
"The province has never thought of integrating these manufacturers and establishing a large steel group company? In this way, it is not impossible to use the scale effect to come back to life?" Fang Mingyuan asked.
"Of course, the province has thought about it, but how easy is it to do? In the end, it's all a money word!" Zhao Xu'an shook his head. In fact, to put it bluntly, these leaders in the province feel that if the Fang family can merge these enterprises, even if they can't make a lot of money in the future, they will at least have to break even. In this way, the province will also go to the heart disease. If the province comes forward to integrate, not only will the capital investment be huge, but it will be integrated, and the province will not have the confidence to ensure that it will be able to maintain profits in the future. In that case, wouldn't it be a huge amount of money wasted again. That's not a political achievement, it's digging a hole for yourself!
Nowadays, in China, officials have seen more and more clearly, and the central government attaches more and more importance to the appointment of officials and the ability to develop the economy, so they have spared no effort to develop the economic level of the jurisdiction. So provincial officials have been skeptical of the proposal to invest large sums of money in an industry whose future is uncertain.
But leaving it alone is not a solution, as time goes by, the future of these enterprises will undoubtedly be more gloomy, and the little vitality of Zuihou will also be exhausted, and at that time, it will not only be a capital black hole, but also a large number of laid-off workers! Even for the sake of social stability, this problem must be solved as soon as possible. So this group of officials hit the Fang family with their ideas. That's why Zhao Xu'an threw stones to ask for directions this time.
It's just that Zhao Xu'an didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan would refuse so neatly!
In fact, Fang Mingyuan also knows that there are huge profits in this, not to mention anything else, the land currently owned by these factories will be a huge wealth in the future. At the beginning of the construction of the factory, the builders did not have the strong environmental awareness in the future, many factories were built in the urban area of the city, and with the expansion of the city over the years, it is more and more located in the center of the city. So they bought these companies, moved the factories to the suburbs, and left the land in the city center, which could be used to build residential or commercial projects and make enough profits.
But knowing that he knows, Fang Mingyuan doesn't have many ** want to do. Money, now for him, is no longer an urgent thing, this time short selling the Japanese stock market, causing Fang Mingyuan's property to skyrocket again. Moreover, a steel plant under construction, an ultra-long railway track production plant to be built in a selected place, is enough for the Fang family to digest for a period of time, Fang Mingyuan does not want to blindly expand himself, although he has sufficient capital reserves as a backing, even if he has indigestion, it is impossible to cause fundamental damage to the other family.
Moreover, the price of land is still at a very low level, and if you don't develop it yourself, but just change hands, the profit is really not enough to toss and bother money.
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but feel a little worried, but originally thought that the Fang family would definitely be overjoyed after learning the news, but he didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan actually didn't even discuss it with others, so he directly refused. It made him feel like he didn't know how to continue. But if you give up and return to Fengyuan empty-handed, how will you report to the leader at that time?
"What's the matter? Uncle Zhao patted his chest in front of the leader?" Fang Mingyuan noticed Zhao Xu'an's depressed mood and asked softly.
Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly: "It's not enough to pat your chest, it's just ......"
"Uncle Zhao said at that time, our Fang family was afraid that they would not be able to afford it, so they refused! Fang Mingyuan squeezed his eyes slyly and said.
Zhao Xu'an was a little confused, and said suspiciously: "Can't afford it? You still can't afford it? The province can give you policies and financial ...... Zhao Xu'an patted his head, he understood, this is not a ready-made substitute for the dead ghost-Mei Yuanze! For Mei Yuanze, Zhao Xu'an also hated it to the extreme, and he had to go through one more procedure at the beginning, and today he borrowed wine in the canteen of Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory, gave him some eye medicine, and kicked him out of the Provincial Machinery Industry Department by the way.......
"And I told Uncle Zhao that many of these factories are not hopeless, and many times, the key problem lies in the heads of the leaders of the factories. Fang Mingyuan continued, "Do you see that many of the small factories in the streets and towns of other people's houses are also produced with jishu in the fifties and sixties, and the benefits of other people are not bad." Don't just watch people eat meat, don't think about other people's suffering. I'll teach you a trick, although it can't cure the root cause, but it can cure the symptoms in the short term, and it can also give these companies a chance!"
Zhao Xu'an was immediately in high spirits, grabbed Fang Mingyuan's hand, and said impatiently: "That's great, Fang Shao, you say!"
"If the site of these enterprises is located in a more prosperous area of the city, then the local government can give them a new piece of land in the suburbs, or they can simply buy a piece of land in the suburbs and move out part or all of the factories. Then, the old factory area can be redeveloped, for example, the area near the street can be built with some shops and rented to those merchants, and the factory area can be bulldozed to build houses, right? Nowadays, it is difficult for many units in the city to find a better ground to build a family building, and most people like to live in the bustling urban area and are reluctant to go to the suburbs.
Zhao Xu'an's eyes lit up immediately, although Fang Mingyuan said it simply, but sometimes, many things are separated by a layer of paper, as long as this paper is pierced, the rest of the plan, Zhao Xu'an himself can come up with ten or eight, but as long as this layer of paper is not poked, he will never realize that these dying old factories still have such great value!
"Uncle Zhao, I'm ugly to say in front, this is a trick of Zuihou, if these companies do this, they still can't find a suitable direction for their own development, and waste all the funds, then only the door is closed, so before implementation, the government and enterprises have to think twice!" Fang Mingyuan solemnly reminded.
Zhao Xu'an nodded heavily, with this proposal, plus Mei Yuanze's substitute ghost, there is no problem in handing over to the provincial leaders.
"However, Fang Shao, do you really plan to not want any company? In Yanliang District, Fengyuan City, there is a company that was able to provide parts for Qin Fei's company back then. After solving the problem, Zhao Xu'an was naturally in a good mood and had the interest of joking with Fang Mingyuan.
"Can you provide parts for Qin Fei's company?" Fang Mingyuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "No, if you really need it, you just need to dig the foot of the wall and dig up all their technicians!"
Zhao Xu'an held his breath in his throat, and almost didn't catch his breath! Fang Mingyuan's hand is simply too dark, as I said just now, the most valuable people in these enterprises are these skilled workers, and now they have to dig the foot of the wall, and after digging these jishu personnel, won't the factory become an empty shell?
Fang Mingyuan's home is still in the family compound of Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory, in that slippery bungalow. But now this place is no longer what it used to be. Instead, a three-story building was built, which was also four times larger than the original. If there is anything that has not changed, I am afraid that the vacant space in the original courtyard is still there, and the borrowed bookstore established by Fang Mingyuan at the beginning has long since changed hands.
Although Fang Mingyuan rarely spends the night in Haizhuang Town nowadays, and even when he returns to Pingchuan, he usually goes back to the ancient city to live, but there is still his own room here, and he still retains his large boxes of comic books.
Bai Ping doesn't go to work anymore, she just has a name in the factory, and she didn't even receive her salary in order to have fewer people gossiping. Anyway, the entire Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory belongs to Fang Mingyuan, what is the point of receiving wages or not? If she didn't have to take care of Fang Sheng's life, she could go to Fengyuan to enjoy Qingfu.
"Mom, in my opinion, let's hire a nanny at home, there are so many houses, it's very tiring to just clean it every day!" Fang Mingyuan reluctantly said. Now this small building has three floors and twelve rooms, although most of the time, just the two of them, it is very annoying to clean up.
"No, there are many strangers in the family, if you are not awkward, I am awkward. Bai Ping said while stir-frying, "Besides, your grandfather hasn't been hired yet, what are we hired?
"Hey, why hasn't my dad come back yet?" Fang Mingyuan noticed that Fang Sheng was not at home. ROοΌ~οΌ
