Chapter 16: Factory Encounters

Ruan Donghan listened to it interestingly, and he smiled when he heard it. He didn't expect that a layman like Ren Xiaotian could say such a high-level thing. After hearing this, he simply asked, "Oh, Xiaotian, keep talking." I'd like to see you, what else do you have in your belly? ”

"When the enterprise reaches the level and has enough capital and technology, it is necessary to lead the market and always walk in front of the market. Only in this way can the enterprise be full of vitality and maintain the momentum of development forever. Ren Xiaotian talked eloquently.

"Well said, well said." Just as Ren Xiaotian was about to speak, someone behind him burst into applause. Ren Xiaotian and Ruan Donghan looked back and saw that it was a middle-aged man standing behind them and looking at the two of them with a smile. Behind him, there were several people who looked like officials.

Ren Xiaotian's eyes blinked, and he remembered who the other party was, it turned out to be Secretary Lu Minglu, who had a relationship with Commander Wu's family. It's just that Ren Xiaotian rarely watches the TV news of the city leaders, which is why he hesitated for a while.

Secretary Lu took the working group to the agricultural machinery factory to squat, and it has been several days. As a middle-level cadre, Ruan Donghan has of course also met Secretary Lu, so he reacted quickly. Seeing that Secretary Lu admired Ren Xiaotian's words, he was also happy to stand aside and smile.

"Ren Xiaotian, do you still know me?" Lu Ming took the initiative to stretch out his hand. Seeing this scene, Ren Xiaotian of course reacted quickly and shook the secretary's hand, and at the same time said with a smile: "Know, know, you are Secretary Lu of the Municipal Party Committee." ”

"Xiaotian, tell me, where did we meet?" Lu Ming saw that Ren Xiaotian was a little restrained, and asked intentionally to adjust the atmosphere. Ren Xiaotian felt a little funny when he heard it, do you still need to ask this kind of question? Instantly, I thought of the meaning of Secretary Lu's question. I can't help but appreciate Lu Ming's carefulness and understanding. He immediately replied respectfully: "I remember that I met the leader at Uncle Wu's house in the provincial capital. ”

"What Xiao Tian said just now is very good, very situational. We have many cadres in charge of the economy, and you don't see it as clearly. Lu Ming gave a thumbs up and praised. Hearing Secretary Lu Ming praise himself like this, Ren Xiaotian hurriedly said humbly: "Secretary Lu, I just felt it, and I said it casually, but it shouldn't be true." ”

"Xiaotian, don't be modest. The old man said that excessive modesty is pride. Xiaotian, let's talk about it, what suggestions do you have for the current situation of agricultural machinery factories? Lu Ming's praise was not a scene, but a sincere and heartfelt word.

Lu Ming took the working group to the agricultural machinery factory for a few days, and he was still at a loss on how to change the current predicament. Hearing Ren Xiaotian's speech just now, I left a very good impression. Holding the idea that the stone of the mountain can attack jade, Lu Ming wanted to hear the opinion of outsiders.

Ren Xiaotian's dark eyes rolled, and he suddenly came to an idea. If you want to buy an agricultural machinery factory, the most critical person is right in front of you. In order for this deal to be completed at the ideal price, Lu Ming must first accept his point of view. It is better to pick the day than to hit the sun, and such a chance encounter today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must take advantage of this opportunity.

Opportunity always favors those who are prepared, and there is a lot of truth in that. If Ren Xiaotian did not have such an ideological foundation, he would not have come to the agricultural machinery factory for field investigations. Without a situational discussion, it would not have attracted Lu Ming's attention. Even if you meet Lu Ming, at most, it will be a hello and one more communication. It will not have a beneficial effect on such an investment, and it will not let Ren Xiaotian leave a deep trace in Lu Ming's mind.

"Secretary Lu, since you asked me to say it, then I'll get an axe." Ren Xiaotian first made an arch towards the group of officials surrounding Lu Ming, and then began to state: "I think the most important thing is to reform the system, and we must resolutely eliminate the big pot of rice." It is necessary to make all workers have a sense of responsibility and contribute to the enterprise. ”

"Director Ren, it's very simple for you to say that. But when the enterprise is in private hands, will it really be operated? What if the factory is resold or dismembered for auction? When such a situation arises, how can the interests of the workers be protected? An official who followed Lu Ming to investigate threw out a question at the right time.

When Ren Xiaotian heard this, he had a feeling that he was in the middle of the situation. Wu Lei's idea of making workers shareholders is really too talented. He immediately replied: "If we want to change this phenomenon, in addition to clearly stipulating the terms of the transfer and restricting them by law, we can also use the method of letting the workers be the masters of their own affairs." ”

"Let the workers be the masters?" Ren Xiaotian's suggestion not only made the official who asked the question feel incomprehensible, but even Lu Ming felt a little inexplicable. Factories have become private enterprises, workers have become a vulnerable group, what is there to talk about being the master?

"Let the workers be shareholders. Since they are shareholders, the workers are of course the owners of the factory, and they can defend their rights reasonably and legally. Ren Xiaotian also knew that the concept of Lu Dao was difficult to be accepted by the people present for a while, so he patiently explained.

"Xiaotian, your concept is very novel and convincing. It's just that you forget the key problem, which is that the workers don't have money in their hands. If you don't have money, how can you be a shareholder? Lu Ming admired Ren Xiaotian for daring to think and speak, and it was not completely wrong to say it, the key was that there was no operability.

"Secretary Lu, you think it's not operable because you have fallen into a misunderstanding." Ren Xiaotian explained with a smile: "The shareholders I am talking about are not the same as the shareholders you imagine. Because there is a gap, it will make you think that it is not feasible. ”

"Oh, let's talk about it, let me hear what new insights our director Ren has to offer." Lu Ming heard that Ren Xiaotian was full of confidence, so he became interested. If workers can really be allowed to be shareholders and masters of their own affairs, this can be regarded as a new river in economic reform.

"In life, when we talk about shareholders, we seem to be big, big shareholders. In fact, the shareholders I am talking about are small shareholders who have accumulated sand into a tower. Think about it, if we set it at five to ten dollars per share, will the workers be able to afford it? Each worker should have no problem buying ten shares and eight shares. With so many workers in the whole factory, how many shares will there be? Ren Xiaotian crossed his fingers and counted the accounts for everyone.

Lu Ming's eyes lit up, yes, using this method to restructure the system will indeed make the workers become shareholders of the factory, that is to say, they will become the owners of the factory from another angle. Just thinking about it, Lu Ming sighed a little again. Because no matter how much sand is accumulated into a tower and armpits into a fur, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support such a piece of heaven with the funds in the hands of the workers.

"Secretary Lu, I know that the reason for your sigh is that I am worried that no matter how much the workers invest in shares, it will only be a drop in the bucket and will not help." Ren Xiaotian first pointed out what Lu Ming sighed about, and then explained: "The workers in the factory are short of money, and we can turn part of the assets into compensation for the workers by reducing the selling price." This compensation is not a penny or a material share, but is converted into shares. ”

"Well, that's a great idea. Xiaotian, go on and see what other good ideas you have. Lu Ming nodded approvingly. Seeing that Secretary Lu was in a good mood, the surrounding officials also cheered up and listened to Ren Xiaotian's words.

"On this basis, we can also attract investment from society. Of course, after all this is done, it is not too late to think about attracting foreign capital injections. I believe that with this preliminary work, it is also easy to attract investors. Ren Xiaotian threw out his own idea.

An official who had just asked a question asked again: "Director Ren, you say that you still have to find a big boss to invest in the worst situation, so what is the practical significance of letting workers invest in shares before this?" What is the difference between directly letting the boss invest? ”

It should be said that this official's question represents everyone's opinion. As soon as the words fell, everyone stared at Ren Xiaotian, waiting for his reply.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the difference between this is that the former worker is also the owner of the factory, and the latter is just a simple worker. The former will be concerned about the direction of the factory's operation and the transfer of assets, while the latter will be indifferent. The former is concerned about the production and efficiency of the factory, and the latter is a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day. The biggest difference is that there will not be a situation where workers will come to the government again to ask for food after the nature of factories and enterprises has changed. Ren Xiaotian played the most reluctant hole card.

"Good, good, good. Xiaotian said that it is very situational, and it is of great reference value for our restructuring work. That's it, all of you will disperse first, and I will talk to Xiaotian for a few days. Lu Ming waved his hand and asked his officials to disperse first. Even Ren Xiaotian's brother-in-law, Ruan Donghan, took the initiative to walk away very familiarly.

After there was no one around, Lu Mingfa asked, "Xiaotian, if this plan can work, what are your plans?" Will Xiao Wu in the provincial capital get involved? ”

Hearing such a question, Ren Xiaotian had to admire Lu Ming's sharp gaze. With a little analysis, you can find the fault. Fortunately, Wu Lei did not plan to intervene in this matter, otherwise he would be linked to the power and money transaction. However, this kind of thing should not be ambiguous, and it will not lead to misunderstanding.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaotian hurriedly explained: "Wu Lei does not plan to intervene in this matter. He just suggested that I let my brother-in-law take the workers to do it. On the premise of fully absorbing the workers' shares, he will help me to raise funds. I'm a little unsure about this, so I just came to the factory today for a field visit. ”

"Xiaotian, you are also a national cadre, and it is not suitable for you to come forward to invest." Lu Ming specially reminded. Ren Xiaotian scratched his scalp and said, "Secretary Lu, I know this truth. If you really want to invest, let my brother-in-law come forward. He was originally a middle-level cadre in the factory, and he could not only lead the workers to do it, but also directly grasp the management. ”

"Well, yes, that's a good idea. In this way, you can let your brother-in-law take the lead first. If there is any situation, we will report and study again. In short, it is necessary to solve the affairs of the agricultural machinery factory in the shortest possible time. Lu Ming did things very neatly, and immediately made a decision, allowing Ren Xiaotian to enter the preliminary preparations.

Ren Xiaotian didn't expect that this acquisition would be so refreshing. In this way, it won't be long before Wu Lei can help mobilize funds to complete the deal. It's just that where in the world can it be so easy? No matter what kind of good thing it is, there will always be someone who wants to jump out and put on a show.
