Chapter 56 East Lake Machinery

Tao Tanggang told Zhao Qingmin about the Foxconn incident in the provincial capital, and the next day, a company under the name of Donghu Machinery in the Pingquan Development Zone broke out, and hundreds of employees blocked the door of the city government due to unpaid wages and other problems.

Tao Tang learned of the incident at an emergency meeting held by the city government the day after the incident.

The Pingquan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government work in the same building, and this 13-story luxurious building was built after the new century, and citizens are accustomed to calling it the Municipal Party Committee Building. In fact, the city government offices occupy the main part of the building. In addition to the main building, there are seven or eight three-story gray buildings built in the sixties and seventies of the last century, which are stationed in the municipal government's subordinate committees, offices, and bureaus. For some reason, the emergency meeting convened by the city government was not scheduled in the main building, but in the conference room of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission on the southeast side.

Tao Tang and Zhao Qingmin were ordered to attend the meeting. The participants in the meeting are the main leaders of enterprises above designated size in Pingquan City, Tao Tang except for Tang Yikun and Tang Yiwei brothers, none of them know, but Zhao Qingmin knows most of them, and constantly introduces Tao Tang to his peers.

Before the meeting began, Tang Yikun called Tao Tang to his side, "Sit here, I'll discuss something with you later." ”

"What exactly is it? Not allowed to take a leave of absence? Messed up my schedule. ”

"I blocked Secretary Wang. Damn it. Tang Yikun scolded in a low voice.

"What did you add to Secretary Wang?" Tao Tang saw that there were leaders sitting on the rostrum.

"You haven't heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Fuck, yesterday a bunch of bastards from the steel pipe factory blocked the gate of the municipal party committee! Mayor Shangguan called me and unceremoniously counted me down, Secretary Wang's promotion is imminent, and that kid just doesn't have long eyes...... It's hard to make a big deal. Tang Yikun looked at his younger brother who was laughing with other business leaders and sighed.

"Everyone, please be quiet," the moderator tapped on the microphone, "and now the meeting is open." Mayor Shangguan, please speak. ”

"Ma Desheng, deputy mayor in charge of industry." Tang Yikun introduced Tao Tang.

There was no nameplate on the rostrum, and Tao Tang only knew the mayor Shangguan Hong, who was sitting in the middle.

"Today, I invited the main party and government leaders of enterprises above designated size in the urban area to verify one thing," Shangguan Hong's voice was very nice and magnetic, "Is there any situation of arrears of wages in each family?" How much is it that is in arrears for a few months? What are you going to do? You're here to give me an explanation. Today's meeting, Secretary Wang was supposed to attend, and there was an important meeting in the province temporarily, and I was entrusted to convene a meeting to understand the situation. Shangguan Hong took a sip of tea, "Everyone may know that yesterday, a group of people from Donghu Machinery blocked the gate of the municipal party committee, causing a very bad impact. Secretary Wang attaches great importance to it, and last night temporarily convened the Standing Committee to study and make arrangements, and today's meeting is just such a content. Mayor Ma, you come according to the list, the family has lived, there is no arrears, and you have to tell me whether there is any stability problem in your family. Well, let's get started. ”

Vice Mayor Ma Desheng was the first to point to the Red Star, "Red Star Machinery? Coming, right? Oh, Secretary Zhao, why do you sit in the back row, sit in the front! You are the largest state-owned enterprise in Pingquan, is Mr. Tao here? ”

Tao Tang stood up, "I'm Tao Tang." Here it comes. ”

"Hello Mr. Tao, it's the first time we meet, please sit down and talk." Ma Desheng was very polite.

"Report to the leaders. Red Star is now in arrears, including our labor company system. At present, no obvious signs of mass instability have been found. ”

"Ah, it's all settled? Very good. Shangguan Hong nodded, "But please don't leave yet, I have something to discuss with you after the meeting." ”

Next is Huanqiu Textile Machinery, which is the largest listed company in Pingquan City, but Tao Tang didn't pay attention to it, this meeting has nothing to do with him, and he began to think about his own thoughts......

The meeting lasted about an hour and a half, and about one-third of the participating enterprises had arrears to varying degrees, and half of them could not tell the timetable for resolving the arrears. In the end, Shangguan Hong left Hongxing and Donghu behind, and called the four family members of the two companies to the small conference room next to them.

Tao Tang just finished greeting Vice Mayor Ma Desheng, and Zhou Hongyou, who didn't show up just now, also came over with a black notebook, nodded to Tao Tang, and sat on the right side of Shangguan Hong.

"Mr. Tao, Secretary Zhao, first of all, I want to thank you on behalf of the municipal government," Shangguan Hong said with a smile, "Some time ago, I heard from the comrades of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission that Red Star is not very stable and there are wage arrears. The first thing Mr. Tao did after taking office was to grasp this problem, which basically eliminated the hidden danger. Secretary Wang Yi was very satisfied and asked me to express my gratitude to the two leaders. ”

Tao Tang glanced at Zhao Qingmin, "Don't dare." This is what we should do. ”

Shangguan Hong nodded, "That's right. But Red Star has set an example, and the city will be easy to talk about. If a stall as big as Red Star can do it, there's no reason why other companies can't do it. I have already talked to Mr. Tang last night, and the arrears of the steel pipe factory are not a big problem, and the East Lake Group has promised to solve it as soon as possible. However, recently, Donghu Machinery has encountered some problems in its operation and needs to make some adjustments. Mr. Tang talked about an idea, the city thinks it is feasible, and today I invite Mr. Tao and Secretary Zhao to come to talk about the cooperation between Red Star and East Lake. Listening to Mr. Tang, a few days ago, Mr. Tao led a team to East Lake for investigation and investigation, and you have talked about the idea of deepening cooperation between the two sides, which is very good, and it should be done. Red Star is the boss of state-owned enterprises, and East Lake is the first private enterprise. All of them have made great contributions to the economic development and social stability of Pingquan, and the city has always believed that if Hongxing and Donghu are done well, the problems of enterprises in Pingquan City will be basically solved, and economic development will be guaranteed...... I won't talk nonsense, do you want Mr. Tang to talk about it first? ”

Tang Yikun said, "Okay. I feel guilty for causing chaos in the city...... Our idea is this, the steel pipe factory, is a small municipal factory acquired by East Lake four years ago, with more than 300 employees, these years due to technology and equipment problems have been not good, and Red Star has pipe fitting products, Red Star has a branch factory is specialized in the production of welded pipes, products in addition to East Lake There are other markets, can you let Red Star take the steel pipe factory over? The way of cooperation can be discussed, Mr. Tao, you can take it over, or you can send someone over to take over the operation. At present, the steel pipe factory has net assets, and we can transfer it in zero...... One for, right? ”

Zhao Qingmin, who was next to Mr. Tao, quietly pinched his companion.

"Secretary Zhao, don't make small moves." This scene was seen by Shangguan Hong, "Don't tear down the stage as the party secretary." Tao is always a management expert of the brilliant group, and he will have his own judgment, right? ”

Zhao Qingmin was a little embarrassed.

Tang Yiwei said, "The total assets of the steel pipe factory under East Lake Machinery are more than 10 million, and the asset-liability ratio is roughly 90%," Tang Yiwei reported, "From the perspective of assets alone, Mr. Tao and Secretary Zhao are not eye-catching." But the steel pipe mill also has a big advantage, that is, the market. Last year, the sales scale of the steel pipe factory was a little more than 13 million, which was basically digested by East Lake. After acquiring the factory in the city, we invested in technological transformation to make its products as able to meet the needs of East Lake Real Estate as much as possible...... Donghu promised that after Red Star took over the steel pipe factory, the market could completely inherit the past. It's good for the Red Star Factory......"

"I can prove this," Zhou Hongyou answered, "Oh, I'm referring to Donghu Industrial's investment in the technical equipment of the steel pipe factory, and his assets are not broken copper, but still worth some money." The reason why this plan was put forward is because the employees of the steel pipe factory have not been able to adapt to the management model of East Lake, and it is difficult to say that it is outdated in concept, but they always miss the days when there was a superior competent department, and they have not completely turned the corner...... I think what Mr. Tang proposed is a win-win plan, and I suggest that Red Star seriously consider it. In addition, I suggest that Red Star move your pipe fitting branch to the development zone! The factory is handed over to you, and the right to use the land can also be handed over to you free of charge. The city government agrees with this. ”

"Is there anything else Mr. Tao doesn't know?" Deputy Mayor Ma Desheng asked.

Tao Tang nodded, "It's basically clear." Mergers and acquisitions have become the norm, and Mr. Tang's proposal does not violate the current regulations of our group on asset management. However, the core of mergers and acquisitions is not assets, nor the market, but employees...... What I want to know is that the workers of the steel pipe factory collectively petitioned just because they were in arrears of wages? ”

Zhao Qingmin noticed that Zhou Hongyou and Tang Yikun exchanged glances, and said in his heart that his young leader was not a chick, but still relatively old and spicy.

Shangguan Hong smiled, "Mr. Tao's concern is reasonable and understandable. Mayor Zhou, tell me about it. ”

"In addition to the staff, there are indeed some small problems in other aspects." Zhou Hongyou frowned, "When the steel pipe factory was acquired by East Lake, its original site was used for commercial development after the land use nature was changed by East Lake Real Estate, which involved the residential compensation of some employees. But after the community was developed, some of them felt that the original agreement had suffered a loss and wanted to overturn it and start over. What I want to say is that this problem will not be brought to Red Star, and the East Lake side has promised that this problem will be solved by them. ”

"Mayor Shangguan, Vice Mayor Zhou, Vice Mayor Ma," Tao Tang Zhengse said, "I already understand what the city means." I think the city is pulling a line, what to do, and we have to talk about it specifically, right? ”

"That's right, it's a match." Shangguan Hong nodded.

"Leaders, we are different from East Lake, what Boss Tang can make a decision here, I can't make a board. It is necessary to go through the procedure, especially the procedure of Yenching. In addition, the arrears of wages of hundreds of people are not a big problem, but the problems caused by land acquisition and relocation are more troublesome, so it is better to deal with them before handling them, I mean if this matter is approved by the Yanjing headquarters. Mayors, once a person is assigned to the Red Star, they will definitely look for the Red Star first, but the Red Star is completely unaware and has no way to deal with it, and there will inevitably be a problem of ripping. Isn't it? In my opinion, since the city leaders coordinate this matter, and Red Star and Donghu are close cooperative enterprises, we will act separately, and I will start the procedure after Secretary Zhao and I go back, and try to be as fast as possible. As for the East Lake side, try to solve the remaining problems as soon as possible. Our two families will go in the same direction and meet the city government as soon as possible. ”

Tao Tang said while thinking that East Lake is nothing more than that, taking the old path of most people, spending a small amount of money to buy a well-located and state-owned enterprise, and then moving away as a whole, changing hands to use the land for commercial development, and the profits come from real estate, and it is by no means a subordinate enterprise.

"Oh, I think Mr. Tao's attitude is okay. Don, tell me about it? Shangguan Hong pushed the ball to Tang Yikun.

Tang Yikun thought, if those people's demands for housing are solved, I may not let go. However, this incident is only the beginning of his whole plan, and he is prepared to suffer a little loss, "Okay, I agree." But violating the original agreement will bring a series of sequelae. As I have just said, the arrears of wages will be made up as soon as possible. But in other aspects of work, I hope the city will come forward to cooperate. ”

"Yes, this aspect is under the jurisdiction of Mayor Zhou, find Mayor Zhou. Old Tang, about the arrears of wages, don't talk about the specific situation management system, there is a labor law, and we must talk about the overall situation. ”

"Yes, we understand. Please rest assured that city leaders. ”

After the meeting was dismissed, Tao Tang refused Shangguan's retention, and also declined the Tang brothers' banquet, and left the city government under the pretext that the company had urgent business. On the way back to the factory, Zhao Qingmin reminded, "You have noticed what I am worried about, and I am relieved." But if you don't do it, Donghu will definitely take the order and say something. I can't figure it out, why do they use a small stall of a few hundred people to mobilize the public? ”

"Still don't understand? Tang Yikun is eyeing our Red Star land. Tao Tang sighed, "Secretary Zhao, I think it's better to start the relevant procedures, I'll call Yanjing and arrange for the Development and Planning Department and the Political Research Office to do some preliminary investigation and research." If the city asks, we can have an explanation. ”

"I'm okay with that." Zhao Qingmin said, "It is said that it is a matchmaker, but in fact, people are standing on the position of East Lake, I can see it." ”

"Of course. Not to mention anything else, how much profit and tax does Donghu pay in a year? How many are we? It can't be compared. In the future, Red Star will close the door to engage in business, and I am afraid it will not be successful. By the way, do you believe it, East Lake is afraid that it is also anxious to engage in structural adjustment, last time I went to East Lake Machinery, listen to Tang Yiwei's introduction, it is simply a hodgepodge, the product is more than ten times more complex than us, the scale is just that little, there is no loss to have a ghost. I see, the steel pipe factory is just the beginning. ”

"Then you really have to take it seriously. They want to carry out structural adjustment, and to put it bluntly, they want to get rid of a large number of burdens, and it is not easy to find a successor in Pingquan if they abandon us. ”

"Yes, yes...... Dealing with private companies, I was accidentally tricked by others. Tao Tang closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the back seat.
