In addition to the conditions previously negotiated, Zhang Ke requested that the new company acquire the trademark of Xinguang Paper Mill at a price of 300,000 yuan, and agreed to provide the "Xinguang" trademark to the paper mill free of charge during the contract period.

Zhang Ke is not sure whether his father will be able to rise to the position of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party in the next few years, but once he is promoted to the position of the Standing Committee, Haitai Company will not be enough, Zhang Ke's shares are small, and the newly registered Kumho Company will have to be bound by the provisions on business restrictions on the families of cadres in the regulations on the recusal of party and government leading cadres during the term of office of the Central Committee in 85 years. If there are special circumstances that cannot be avoided by both parties, it is necessary to explain the situation to the relevant party discipline department in advance.

Even if Zhang Zhixing becomes the secretary of the listing committee, the conditions signed by the newly registered Kumho Company and the Chengnan District Government at this time, such as the agreement to acquire Shin Kong Paper Mill during the contracted operation period, can be fulfilled as scheduled, but the evaluation of Shin Kong Paper Mill's assets, especially intangible assets, will become an unavoidable legal problem at that time.

At this time, the acquisition of the trademark of Xinguang Paper Mill, on the one hand, has a small price, which can avoid the entanglement of so-called intangible assets in the future, and does not need to bear any political risks; In addition, the raw material procurement and product sales of Xinguang Paper Mill will be separated, and even if the contract operation period ends and asset mergers and acquisitions are not implemented, Xinguang Paper Mill can be controlled.

The use of political resources is a must, and if you want to go further, you need to legitimize everything as much as possible at the beginning.

At Zhang Ke's insistent request, the Chengnan District Government asked the appraisal company to evaluate the intangible assets of the Xinguang Paper Mill trademark brand.

In the ninety-fourth year, China did not attach great importance to intangible assets, and a large number of century-old brands were preemptively registered overseas, and quite a number of enterprises had to spend a lot of money to buy their own things from the pirates in the later stage. The paper industry's awareness of the brand was even weaker, and at that time, there were thousands of papermaking enterprises on the southeast coast, and the medium-sized Xinguang paper mill was not worth much intangible assets including the "Xinguang" trademark.

As one of the conditions for negotiation, the paper mill after the contracted operation should be responsible for settling the arrears of wages of the workers in the early stage and settling the lives of the workers.

This is also necessary before the resumption of production, and the Chengnan District Finance Department has only allocated 200,000 yuan for this purpose.

The arrears of wages for half a year are not much, deducting performance bonuses, post allowances, etc., only the basic salary of 246 employees for half a year is only less than 200,000 yuan, plus the medical expenses of Liu Fen and other employees, the most basic office expenses before organizing production must also be prepared, and Song Peiming has a slight sense of achievement.

On the afternoon of Friday, October 18, 1994, Xu Si signed the contract with the Chengnan District Government on behalf of the newly registered Kumho Company.

Zhang Ke waited for the signing ceremony to end before rushing to the Xinhaitong Building.

Zhang Ke stood outside the company and looked at the nameplate of "Haizhou Kumho Co., Ltd." hanging on the wall on the left side of the door, sighed a sigh, wiped off the not very obvious stain on it with his sleeve, and then walked into the office.

In addition to Xu Si and Jiang Wei, the new company has recruited staff such as front desk, back office, and administrative assistants, but there are still too few employees in the relatively empty office.

The Chengnan District Government and Paper Mill have all left, except for Song Peiming and Zhou Fu, who are still in Kumho on the 18th floor. Everyone is sitting in the company's café, the golden red sunset outside the glass curtain wall, and the bamboo sea in the people's park on the west side.

At this time, Song Peiming was admiring the luxury of Kumho Company's office to Xie Wanqing: "After Secretary Wang came over, he said that such a large company is worthy of trust. ”

The functional partitions of the office are made of transparent or frosted translucent glass, silver-gray metal frames, and the floors are also covered in oak, teak and maple floors, and the brightly colored branded office furniture gives the new office a modern look.

Luxury is not enough, but this kind of design style of office, Haizhou City is unique, Chengnan District Party Secretary Wang Qijiang has never seen it, that is not unusual, Zhang Ke is now today all the people who attended the signing ceremony will have a refreshing feeling. Coupled with the rent and decoration of the office, the trademark transfer fee paid to Xinguang Paper Mill, and the eye-catching Audi car in the parking lot of Xinhuatong Building, the company's nearly one million cash was exhausted.

Just in order to create the image of a large company in the minds of everyone, Xu Si and Jiang Wei are a little puzzled to consume nearly one million funds that are precious to the company, but Xie Wanqing is very supportive of Zhang Ke's decision, maybe she has no idea of interfering with the new company at all.

Seeing Zhang Ke walk in, Song Peiming stood up and said with a smile: "Ms. Xie's spokesperson is here...... He was naturally grateful to Zhang Ke, before and after Zhang Ke appeared, his state in Chengnan District was very different. Before, because of the paper mill and the 718 traffic accident, he was excluded by his colleagues and became independent; After that, Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian successively affirmed and supported his handling of Xinguang Paper Mill, although Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian had some small troubles in the city, but no one dared to resist their authority in Chengnan District, and Song Peiming immediately regained a strong position in Chengnan District.

In the negotiation of the contracting operation of Xinguang Paper Mill, how could Song Peiming not know to repay the favor and give convenience? As long as the problem of workers can be settled, the troubles in the district can be solved, and even the entire Xinguang Paper Mill will be handed over, Song Peiming will not be stingy.

What's more, Kumho, on behalf of Haiyu Company, did not make excessive requirements, and it was necessary to be able to get rid of the hot potatoes that had been wrapped in his hands for more than half a year.

"Uncle Song is still here?" Zhang Ke pushed the door in, looked at Zhou Fu who was leaning over, looking like he was about to stand or not, and said with a smile, "Director Zhou, this is the second time we have met, and I will ask you to adapt in the future, the decision of the new company will be made by me, and Sister Wanqing has no energy to take care of the affairs of the new company." ”

Although the shareholding structure of the new company was not clarified, in front of everyone, Zhou Fu should know who is the decision-maker of the new company and who can decide the fate of Xinguang Paper Mill. lest Zhou Fu always think that Xie Wanqing is the big boss behind the scenes, and he will be slacking off on himself.

Song Peiming knew that the whole process was led by Zhang Ke, because Xu Hongbo had speculated on the relationship behind it, he could understand that Zhang Ke actually had a pivotal position in that not very stable relationship network at a young age, but he was still surprised by his maturity and sophistication. Since Xie Wanqing supported it, and even the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee who was hiding at the back connived at this young man, Song Peiming had nothing to think about at all, and now he wanted to have a good relationship with Zhang Ke, and even hoped to meet Xu Pingping, which would definitely be of great benefit to Rentu in the future. Putting aside this relationship, it is definitely beneficial to be able to raise the level through the relationship between him and Tang Xueqian.

The seats in the café are limited, plus Cai Feijuan and Zhou You, there are no vacant seats, Song Peiming gave up his place and stretched out his hand: "Zhang Ke, sit in my place......"

Jiang Wei, Xu Si, Cai Feijuan, and Zhou You all stood up and wanted to give up their positions to Zhang Ke, Xie Wanqing looked at Zhang Ke: "Skipping class again?" ”

Zhang Ke smiled and said, "It's good to get used to it," took Zhitong's hand, sat down in Xu Si's position, looked at Zhou Fu opposite, and said, "Director Zhou, sit, you're welcome......"

Jiang Wei has always been in charge of negotiations, and Zhou Fu is only responsible for assisting the district government in sorting out some necessary information. In addition to meeting at Chen Qi's house that time, Zhou Fu saw Zhang Ke for the second time, and that day Zhang Ke discussed things with Song Peiming and deliberately separated Zhou Fu, and Zhou Fu still didn't know the situation at all.

Seeing that Zhang Ke said this as soon as he came in, Song Peiming and Xie Wanqing did not raise any objections, and stood there with their bodies bowed, sitting and standing uneasy.

"Sit down, old Zhou ......" Song Peiming gently pressed Zhou Fu's shoulder and asked him to sit down and speak.

"Uncle Song, I have an additional request for you," Zhang Ke said as he looked at Song Peiming.

"Well, you say ......" When we met for the first time, I couldn't imagine that the person sitting in front of me to talk about the conditions calmly was only a sixteen-year-old boy, Song Peiming couldn't help but sigh Zhang Zhixing was fortunate to have such an outstanding son, when the vast majority of his peers only knew how to ask his parents for pocket money for play, he was so calm and comfortable in running a company. Although Jiang Wei participated in the whole process of negotiation on his behalf, the timing of the negotiation process was completely in his hands.

"If it is possible, Director Zhou's working relationship will be separated from Xinguang Paper Mill and temporarily retained in the district, and people will be loaned to Kumho Company," Zhang Ke asked Zhou Fu sideways, "Director Zhou has no personal opinion, right?" ”

Zhou Fu was stunned, Zhang Ke said this, he didn't give himself a chance to give his opinion at all.
