Chapter 146: Harsh Conditions
If Feiteng Group agrees to this condition, then the cooperation can be launched immediately and enter the operation stage of the substantive surname. But if Feiteng Group can't agree or can't do it, the cooperation will lose a basic premise. In this regard, Hou Fasheng's attitude was very resolute, saying that this was a matter decided by the Party Committee of Jinghua Tobacco Group through collective discussion, research and decision, and there was no room for bargaining.
After hearing about this condition, Zhou Qiang fell into a speechless silence on the spot.
This seems to be too much nonsense...... He was speechless for a moment.
"Mr. Hou, I can't do this thing...... I need to go back and ask the chairman of the group company for instructions, you can see ......," Zhou Qiang said respectfully.
Hou Fasheng smiled loudly and waved his hand, "No problem, you have a good discussion, if it works, our cooperation will be fine." If not, hehe, Xiao Zhou, I'm really sorry, although I am the number one, but I can't ignore the opinions of other leaders of the company's party committee, do you say so? ”
"Our family, but I have repeatedly asked me to take care of you, but this company is not mine alone, don't you say?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Hou, please rest assured, I will go back and ask for instructions, and I will give you a letter of approval the next day at the latest." Zhou Qiang smiled.
Hou Fasheng bowed slightly, even if he was going to send off a guest. Jinghua Tobacco Group is a department-level state-owned enterprise, and as a department-level cadre, Hou Fashengneng is somewhat polite to the vice president of a private enterprise, which is nothing more than looking at his wife Qin Yaqin's face.
Of course, Zhou Qiang's humility and courtesy also won Hou Fasheng's favor.
………… On the way back to the guest house after leaving the Jinghua Tobacco Group factory, Zhou Qiang frowned.
In his opinion, the conditions put forward by Hou Fasheng were quite harsh.
Jinghua Tobacco Group has a tertiary production unit, that is, the labor service company of Jinghua Tobacco Group, which was established in the early 80s, which is a separate unit established for the purpose of relocating some surplus employees. Originally responsible for the supply of labor welfare products and some office materials for the entire tobacco group, although it was not profitable, it was still barely maintained.
Since last year, due to the rise of the anti-smoking movement in the world, under the general trend, Jinghua Tobacco Group has also reduced some production capacity, and some laid-off workers have appeared in the compression of production capacity.
Initially, the group incorporated these laid-off workers into a labor service company. Later, however, at the request of the higher-level administrative departments, Jinghua Tobacco continued to deepen the reform of the enterprise, streamlined the organization, and divested some non-core businesses and the tertiary industry, so that the labor service company was spun off and pushed to the market.
The group has set up a special logistics service center to be responsible for the supply of office equipment and materials for the group, and the labor service company has lost its "market" and is on the verge of closure. In fact, after the enterprise reform, the 89 employees of the company have been replaced and are no longer employees of state-owned enterprises, which are equivalent to laid-off workers.
What about this part of the population? It has always been a major problem for the leadership team of Jinghua Tobacco. Hou Fasheng was having a headache, and Zhou Qiang came to talk about cooperation, and he put forward such a condition - he asked Feiteng Group to set up a tobacco flavor manufacturing branch in the capital, and the next step to cooperate with Jinghua Tobacco to establish a joint stock marketing company set up a set of teams and two brands, and fully accept these 89 laid-off workers of the former Jinghua Tobacco.
That is to say, it is equivalent to Jinghua Tobacco Group arranging this part of the laid-off workers without a penny, and it must be said that Hou Fasheng's wishful thinking is good.
In fact, Zhou Qiang feels that this idea is not unavoidable, but 89 employees are not a small number, the total number of employees (production links) of Feiteng Group is less than 100 people, and 89 people are accepted at once, and the salary bonus alone is a huge expense, and at the same time, it is necessary to set up a production branch in Beijing, plant equipment or something, and a lot of investment is required.
Although for the Feiteng Group, which is currently making profits, this money can barely be reached, but ...... The pressure was too great, and Zhou Qiang estimated that Zhou Nan would not agree.
Back at the guest house, Zhou Qiang immediately called Zhang Ying, the general manager who was far away in Haidu.
Mr. Zhang...... Here's the thing......" Zhou Qiang told Zhang Ying in detail on the phone, Zhang Ying was speechless for a long time, and then sighed for a while, "Mr. Zhou, in fact, there is a lot of potential for cooperation with Jinghua Tobacco, even if we accept their harsh conditions, in the long run, we are very calculating." Compared with the steady stream of profits in the future, this payment is not worth mentioning at all. It's just that setting up a production branch in a foreign country requires too much capital, and I'm afraid it's very difficult......"
"That's it, Mr. Zhou, don't refuse people first, I'll discuss with Zhou Nan and see if there is a way." Zhang Ying hung up the phone in a hurry and dialed Zhou Nan directly.
Zhou Nan was thinking about Hai Minyuan, and after Zhang Ying called and said about it, he immediately groaned.
"Yingzi, what do you think about this?" Zhou Nan asked softly.
Zhang Ying sighed and said, "Zhou Nan, in the long run, we accept this condition, and there is still an account." You can think about it, if this cooperation is negotiated, we can at least get a net profit of nearly 10 million a year in the future, and with the expansion of Jinghua Tobacco's production capacity, our profits will gradually rise. ”
"But the biggest problem is the ...... money So many people's salaries and bonuses, factories, plants, equipment...... That's a lot of money......"
Zhou Nan suddenly laughed, "Yingzi, you're right, in the long run, we will only make money and not lose money." In this case, in order to win the huge market of Jinghua Tobacco, I think it is worth taking a little risk! Moreover, winning Jinghua Tobacco is equivalent to the entire tobacco market in North China being occupied by us, and the time to make money is still to come......"
"Don't hesitate to say yes." Zhou Nan said cleanly.
"But the money ......"
"Yingzi, now on the basis of not affecting the normal operation of the company, it shouldn't be a problem to come up with four or five million, I think it can be done like this-"
"First, we proposed to Jinghua Tobacco Group that we can accept their 89 employees, but they must transfer some of the company's original fixed assets, such as factories and office areas, to the new company we set up in cooperation with them in the form of equity assets, so that we can spend less money to transform it as a factory, produce in the shortest possible time and see the benefits."
"Second, after the closure of more than a dozen small flavor factories in Haidu, their equipment can't be disposed of, so I don't think it will cost much if you do the work and buy part of their equipment at a low price. After the end, it will be transported to the new company in Beijing for installation and commissioning. In this way, the problems of plant and equipment are solved, and a little working capital is saved. As for raw materials, we can supply them to the capital in the form of internal allocation of the whole group...... If possible, it would also be nice to set up a new logistics center for the transportation and distribution of raw materials. ”
"Third, send a few technical backbones to the capital to serve as the production backbone of the new company."
"Fourth, tell them that we want to take control. Don't worry, Yingzi, they are a large state-owned enterprise, and they are in a hurry to arrange employees, and they will agree to our request. ”
"This matter, let Zhou Qiang operate, in the future, I think he will sit in the capital and become the manager of this branch."
"You go and talk about the specific details, if it really doesn't work, Yingzi, you also go to the capital. Since we want to do it, let's strike while the iron is hot and seize the time, the sooner the factory is put into operation, the faster we will see the benefits...... Hehe, when everything is on the right track, there are three major markets of Qing'an, Pagoda Group and Jinghua Tobacco, plus our profits in other flavor fields, what is the millions of funds? ”
After talking to Zhang Ying on the phone, Zhou Nan's mood was very excited for a while.
The development of Feiteng Group Company, which is founded and owned, can be said to be changing every day, the market is expanding rapidly, the production capacity is also steadily expanding, and the benefits are even more prosperous. Tobacco flavors, edible flavors and chemical flavors, these three market areas Feiteng Group has stretched out its hand, is rolling out an invisible net, from point to surface, and gradually realize the strategic control of the national market.
The cooperation with Jinghua Tobacco is very important in this. This move goes out and succeeds, and the benefits that Feiteng Group will gain will be endless. Therefore, Zhou Nan finally decided that even if he took part of the market risk and economic pressure, he must win this cooperation project.
At most, one more year, by the end of 97 years, Feiteng Flavor Group, which started in Haidu, Binhai Province, will soar to the sky and become a leader and leader in the domestic industry.
In fact, a month later, after the news of the establishment of a branch of Feiteng Group in Beijing and the establishment of a tobacco flavor marketing joint stock company in cooperation with Jinghua Tobacco Group, the industry has noticed this sudden emergence of a big dark horse.
………… Looking back, Zhou Nan still had to face Hai Minyuan's matter, he had been waiting for Liu Jie's phone call about the temporary convening of the board of directors, but he had not waited.
Liu Jie is not Lin Xueer after all, although Liu Jie is a native of Hong Kong, but because he often travels to the mainland to do business, he has a lot of contacts with mainland businessmen and officials, and knows the situation in the mainland well.
When Lin Xue'er went back and told him about Zhou Nan's performance like this, Liu Jie immediately realized that something was wrong.
But if it's not appropriate, the board of directors should still be open. Because this matter involves the fundamental interests of Lan's enterprise, he does not dare to make decisions without authorization. Only the board of directors had a discussion, and then he reported the results decided by the board of directors to the headquarters, waiting for Lan Ruo's instructions.
