The joint-stock cooperative system of Red Star Industrial is in full swing. Zhao Yuemin also did a lot of publicity and mobilization, calling on employees to subscribe for shares. However, most of the employees still have a bystander attitude. After all, it was a very risky concept at the time to advance so much salary in advance and gamble on an unseen future.

Zhao Yuemin sat in the chairman's office of Red Star Industrial Co., Ltd., turning the leather chair with a little freshness. There are a few calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and there are a few evergreen plants on the windowsill.

At this moment, Zhao Yuemin finally feels a little like a business manager. He and Hu Dong are the second and third largest shareholders, and they have crucial decision-making voting rights for the company's decision-making and business direction.

Red Star Industries is a logistics fleet plus a grinding wheel factory, which is involved in the transportation and manufacturing industries. He remembers that an American economist of the same period said that do not put all your eggs in one basket.

Zhao Yuemin decided to put the business strategy of one industry as the main one industry and multiple operations on the Red Star Industry for piloting.

At the first general meeting of shareholders of Red Star Industry, Zhao Yuemin made a speech on the latest business strategy.

"At present, I have noticed that the supply of pigs, mutton, poultry and eggs required by the Jiangbei Oilfield is provided by the Huaiyang No. 1 Meat Factory, which is more than 100 kilometers away. This has caused supply inconvenience. Huaiyang No. 1 Meat Factory is responsible for the supply of chilled fresh meat and cooked meat from more than 20 nearby counties and oil fields. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and many times, even if we want to reward advanced employees, due to the planned unified purchase and sales, we can't buy excess pork with money. ”

Zhao Yuemin looked at the shareholders and said, "Our machine repair factory is a provincial red flag factory. The efficiency of the workers in the factory is far higher than that of other provincial factories. And our reward system is a little bit out of line. What's the use of us just giving bonuses to workers? Now there is a shortage of agricultural and sideline foodstuffs and poultry eggs, and they can't buy meat even if they have money. Instead of giving bonuses, it is better to solve the problems of the workers' lives in a real way. Therefore, I propose to use the profit balance of the account of the Red Star Industrial Company to build a meat factory belonging to our Jiangbei Oilfield. ”

Hearing that Zhao Yuemin was going to build a meat factory, Gao Zhiguo, as the representative of the major shareholder, and others discussed a lot.

Gao Zhiguo took out a cigarette case from his jacket pocket, skillfully squeezed out one, and held it in his mouth. After he lit it, he took a cigarette and said, "Yuemin, I said that you are so anxious to engage in a joint-stock cooperative system." It turns out that you still have a series of ideas that you haven't shared with us. I said that Yuemin and the construction of the meat factory did solve the problem of the supply of pig and mutton to the oilfield workers, which is true. But have you thought about it? Where is this meat factory so easy to do? ”

"Yuemin, you know what? Most of the meat factories in the country are losing money. Now you tell me that you will spend 800,000 yuan to build a meat factory. Do you know meat processing technology? What if I lose money? Gao Zhiguo asked.

"Director Gao, I have really studied meat processing and freezing technology." Zhao Yuemin said with a smile, "You are right, now many meat factories across the country have fallen into losses due to poor management. For example, the second meat factory in Dujiang County, next to us, is now in a state of semi-closure. ”

"That's right, Yuemin, then you still want to work on this project?"

"Director Gao, shareholders, listen to me. I am engaged in a meat factory, in fact, I want to develop in two directions. One is pig farming. I am going to build a pig farm at the same time and bring in the best pig breeds from abroad. At least 60,000 pigs are produced every year, and sales alone can reach 40 million. The second is to combine the products of the meat factory with the export of foreign exchange......"

Zhao Yuemin stood up, held the conference table with both hands, and raised his voice: "I went to the Canton Fair before and learned that Europe and the United States have a great demand for white frozen meat. Therefore, our meat factory will mainly produce white frozen meat for export. ”

"That Yuemin, let me ask you, how are you going to start from scratch and set up a production and processing area and a sick animal isolation area?"

"Director Gao, I decided to directly contract the second meat factory in Dujiang County."

Two measures were proposed at once, the production of white frozen meat and pork farming, and Zhao Yuemin won the support of shareholders. Two days later, he accompanied Gao Zhiguo and others to the No. 2 Meat Factory in Dujiang County.

Dujiang County Meat Factory had full glory in the fifties and sixties. When approaching the gate of the meat factory, the seriousness and size of the main building, which has been painted pale yellow, still shocks, and the red sign erected at the top of the building reads: Meat Food Cold Storage.

The factory road is open, the building is not high, but it occupies a wide area, the main building with a strong Soviet-style style appears to be strict and regular, and there are three red brick square attics protruding from the top, in addition to the two symmetrical ones in the middle, there is also a single one at the top of the left side. The walls of the middle 3 floors, none of which have windows, are a huge cold storage system.

Xing Zhibin, the director of the meat factory, stood at the gate with his hands behind his back and waited for Zhao Yuemin with a smile.

"Old Xing ......," Zhao Yuemin got out of the car and said hello.

Gao Zhiguo saw Zhao Yuemin and Xing Zhibin greeting each other so familiarly, and said a little strangely: "You two know each other?" ”

"I didn't know each other before." Xing Zhibin smiled and said, "But in the past month, he has run to me three or four times." ”

Xing Zhibin took Gao Zhiguo and Zhao Yuemin to take a walk around the factory. He told the two that the Dujiang County Government had invested heavily in the establishment of the factory modeled after the operation model of the Soviet Meat Factory. However, five years ago, due to the lack of core competitiveness in the business model, the position of this meat factory was gradually replaced by the first meat factory in Huaiyang City.

To this end, the Dujiang County Government has also allocated funds for the restructuring and transformation of the meat factory. However, none of the previous directors of the factory was successfully restructured. After allocating the money twice, the Dujiang County Government saw that the money was lost, and they were also a little disheartened, so they simply let it fend for itself.

"I'll tell you a lot." Xing Zhibin said, "Since I became the factory director, I have also met many units and individuals who are willing to contract us. However, basically many people's eyes are staring at our several sets of cold storage equipment......" Speaking of this, Xing Zhibin was a little angry, "In their eyes, only these equipment in our factory are worth a little money." The rest of the staff and technical cadres don't seem to pay attention. How can I trust them with the factory? ”

"Only this Zhao Yuemin has put forward a lot of plans with me in detail." Xing Zhibin's eyes showed appreciation, "I have long heard that this Zhao Yuemin is now a famous entrepreneur in our Jiangbei Province. Only he can lead our meat factory to fight a bloody way. ”
