167 Borrowing a chicken to lay eggs
These buildings located at the back of the factory area of Hanhua Company are the land prepared by Lin Zhenhua for himself.
Although Hanhua Company belongs to the joint-stock cooperative system in terms of property rights, Lin Zhenhua actually owns more than 50% of the equity of the entire company through his own direct shareholding and indirect shareholding through Chu Hongyang, Peng Shaozhe and others, which has reached the proportion of the controlling shareholder. However, nominally, and in the impression of the leaders of the Light Chemical Department and the Hanhua Machinery Factory, the Hanhua Company was still a large collective enterprise and was subject to the command of the Light Chemical Department and the Hanhua Factory.
Lin Zhenhua is powerless to resist this stubborn force, in the atmosphere of the early 80s, if you want to talk to the Light Chemical Department about controlling rights, what kind of property rights are clear, I am afraid the result will be very tragic.
In fact, the development of Hanhua Company today is inseparable from the support of the Department of Light Chemical Industry and other departments. First of all, if you are not a collective enterprise, it is impossible for the Department of Light Chemical Industry to apply for the supply of raw materials for you. No matter how advanced the fan you design, if the raw materials are not available, then everything is empty. This identity of a collective enterprise gives Hanhua an innate advantage when competing with those township enterprises, which Lin Zhenhua cannot deny.
Secondly, the five-blade fan of Hanhua Company can enter the Canton Fair, and Hanhua Company can merge Xunzi Factory, which is related to its collective identity. Based on these considerations, Lin Zhenhua can't cut off his own way.
The identity of a large collective enterprise is both a benefit and a hidden danger. It is hard for Lin Zhenhua to imagine that if the scale of this company is further expanded in the future, the Light Chemical Department will not directly stretch out its hand. There are various ways for the Qinghua Department to reach out, one is to level out the funds and technology of Hanhua Company, and the other is to send a new leader to squeeze Lin Zhenhua out. Examples like this were not uncommon in those days.
Out of such concerns, Lin Zhenhua decided to start a new business of his own in addition to Hanhua. The development of Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory in the past year has given him an opportunity, Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory is a township enterprise, and has reached an agreement with the commune to buy out property rights, for Lin Zhenhua, this is a very good entrepreneurial platform.
Hanhua Company created a profit of more than 40 million yuan last year, and after coordination between Lin Zhenhua and Hanhua Factory, it was decided to take out 2 million yuan as a dividend, and the rest was reinvested to expand the existing production scale. Hanhua Company merged Xunzi Factory, spending more than 3 million, and then, it was land acquisition, building staff dormitories, building workshops, purchasing equipment, etc., and spending 40 million yuan to only a fraction.
The property rights of the workshops and the equipment in the workshops that Lin Zhenhua took the Cen brothers to see belonged to Hanhua Company, but Lin Zhenhua made his own decisions and leased it to Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory. His idea is to borrow chickens and lay eggs, wait until the business of the agricultural machinery factory has developed to a certain extent, and there is enough profit, and then buy these buildings and equipment in the form of redemption, so that legally speaking, there is no problem.
Hanhua Company is now the emperor of Tiangao, and all decisions in the company are decided by Lin Zhenhua alone. In terms of management system, Chu Hongyang, Peng Shaozhe, Zhao Yongqun and others are also members of the company's decision-making level, but they are all Lin Zhenhua's little brothers, and they still have some blind personality cult for Lin Zhenhua, who will interfere with Lin Zhenhua's decision-making?
The employees of the Hanhua plant have been dazzled by the rapid growth of the company, and no one knows what new ideas their managers are implementing. Lin Zhenhua built such a piece of land for himself, and the employees only guessed, and no one questioned its reasonable surname.
The relationship between Lin Zhenhua and Hanhua Company is a bit of a confused account. The five-blade fan is a patented technology, and Lin Zhenhua is the owner of the patent, so it stands to reason that he should extract a part of the royalty from the sale of each fan. If he extracts 10 yuan per fan, he should pay 5 million yuan in patent fees for the 500,000 fans exported last year. This money is enough to buy these equipment in the workshop.
However, Lin Zhenhua couldn't get the money, and if he offered to collect patent fees, what awaited him was probably an investigation by the public security organs. This is an era when the property rights relationship is extremely unclear, and individuals will face countless verbal and written criticisms from the operation of collective enterprises, let alone withdrawing 5 million yuan from the operation of collective enterprises.
Since you can't get the patent fee you deserve from the law, it shouldn't be unreasonable to turn this money into equipment and then use it to develop your own industry in the form of lease, right? Lin Zhenhua found an explanation for his actions.
Later generations of scholars have always struggled with the question of whether the capitalists who rose in the reform and opening up have the so-called original sin. If today's laws and market rules are to be explained, then there is no doubt that these people are guilty of original sin. However, if we can restore the scene of that year, we will find that they themselves are also victims of imperfect market rules.
Lin Zhenhua is anxious to start anew, also to get out of this embarrassing situation. If there is a company that truly belongs to itself, and the money earned can belong to it openly, then there will be no obstacles to subsequent development. Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory happens to be such an enterprise, which was a chess piece that he inadvertently laid out, and now it is time to use it.
After seeing Lin Zhenhua's workshop, the Cen brothers already understood their status. When they started, they relied on the funds lent to them by Lin Zhenhua and the technology provided free of charge, even the agricultural machinery factory, which has some signs of prosperity, is insignificant compared to the big enterprise that Lin Zhenhua is creating. In this case, the proportion of equity they own should naturally be greatly reduced.
After some humble negotiations, the three finally reached an agreement, Lin Zhenhua owned 85% of the Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory, and the Cen brothers owned 15% of the shares. Among the 15%, Cen Youjun insisted on half with Cen Youxin, he believed that Cen Youxin's contribution to the enterprise was much greater than that of him, the factory director, and if the proportion of shares was too low, it would be inappropriate.
Although the equity has dropped from 50% to 15%, the Cen brothers still know that they have taken a big advantage, and what they have contributed is only a brand of an agricultural machinery factory, but what they have obtained is a 15% stake in a large enterprise that is on the rise. The Cen brothers both believe that with such a good foundation, it is entirely possible for this company to develop into tens of millions of assets in the next few years, and the 15% equity in their hands will correspond to several million.
Lin Zhenhua is not a greedy person, his philosophy of life is to paraphrase a later advertising slogan, called "everyone is really good". He needs a controlling stake in the business, because only then can he be free to implement his ideas. But when it comes to the proportion of equity, he doesn't care, so why not let his friends share more of the fruits of entrepreneurship?
In addition to the equity relationship, there are also some things that need to be resolved, Lin Zhenhua took the Cen brothers back to his office, and then arranged other matters.
An important issue is the resettlement of the more than 20 workers of the original Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory. Cen Youjun knows that the technical level of his more than 20 employees is not very strong, and most of them are relatively old and have insufficient development potential. It's a waste to let them do all this modern equipment.
After discussion, everyone decided to maintain the status quo in Yonghe Commune first, and Chen Jinfu, an old worker, took the more than 20 people to undertake some relatively simple business, so that everyone could support themselves.
Next, it is about the source of workers in the Xunyang factory. Of course, Lin Zhenhua can recruit some skilled workers from Xunzi to work in the machine tool workshop, but the result of this is that it is easy to make the machine tool workshop intersect with other businesses of the Chinese company. And once this kind of intersection is formed, it will be very difficult to pick it up again in the future, which is why Lin Zhenhua asked Cen Youjun to be the production supervisor.
"The practice of our township enterprises is to hire retired workers from state enterprises. Kobayashi, I don't think you're going to do anything. Cen Youjun said.
Lin Zhenhua nodded: "This is exactly what I think." I have done a secret investigation, and there are many workers in Xunyang and Nandu who have retired early from state-owned enterprises. These workers are very skilled and in good health, and are fully capable of undertaking normal work. My idea is to invite these people to come over with preferential treatment to form the technical core of our machine tool accessories company. ”
"I'll do this." Cen Youjun volunteered.
Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "The platoon commander is going to recruit soldiers again." ”
Cen Youjun said: "Xiaolin, your identity is here, if you come forward to recruit people, people will say that Hanhua is recruiting people, which is very bad for you." And I have no problem recruiting people, I am the director of Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory, and it is a natural thing to recruit some retired workers. ”
Lin Zhenhua said: "That's exactly what I think. Platoon commander, let's do it, you are solely responsible for recruiting people, and you decide the treatment of hired personnel, and my only request is not to treat them too badly. These people are the treasure of our country, but also the core competitiveness of our machine tool accessories company, you give a higher treatment, I have no opinion. ”
Cen Youxin interjected: "Manager Lin, don't go too far in this matter, you'd rather talk about the treatment a little lower first, and then slowly increase it later, so that everyone will think that you are very good to them." If the treatment is talked about very high at the beginning, there will be no room for it later. ”
Lin Zhenhua nodded again and again: "Lao Cen is right, the platoon commander and I are the kind of people who don't know how to bargain with others, Lao Cen usually reminds us more." ”
"When it comes to apprenticeships, you should also think about it as early as possible." Cen Youjun said, "Retired workers can only use it for a few years, and their skills have to be followed by young people." ”
Lin Zhenhua said: "That's right, we must form an echelon. However, I have also been prepared for this problem, and I have built a technical school in Fenghua, which currently has nearly 200 students. I plan to transfer the 80 trainees of the first batch to the workshop and apprentice with the masters. After the business here gradually stabilizes, I also plan to build another technical school in Xunyang to provide backup skilled workers for our company. ”
"By the way, how is Wen Yong doing now?" Cen Youjun asked.
Lin Zhenhua said: "Wen Yong's performance is very good, he studied milling for a year with a master named Peng Gang in Hanhua factory, and now he has transferred to CNC machine tools. This child, in a year, memorized 5,000 English words, and now he can read the English manual, but the ability to listen and speak is a mess, and the English spoken is Yonghe dialect. ”
"That's pretty good, this kid didn't learn English before." Cen Youjun Road.
Lin Zhenhua said: "I have informed him that he will come to Xunyang in two days, and I will arrange for him to be a young worker squad leader in the machine tool company, hoping that he can use his spirit to influence other young people." ”
"Great, our matter is settled, I will start working tomorrow." Cen Youjun couldn't wait to say.
Lin Zhenhua said: "Don't worry, platoon leader, you better spend a few days to settle down at home, I have asked Wang Junxian to help with the transfer of Mao Cub, you can take him to the primary school in two days to register." ”
Cen Youjun said gratefully: "Xiaolin, you are really thoughtful about the problem. Originally, my idea was to let their mother and son stay on Yonghe's side, and I just came alone. ”
Lin Zhenhua said: "The ancients said well, if you don't bring your family, you will surrender by fraud." Now the conditions in the countryside are still too poor, since I have the conditions here, let my sister-in-law and Mao cub and Lingcub become city people in advance, and the education level here in Xunyang is stronger than your Yonghe Commune. My sister-in-law is now cured, I mean, in the future, let her do something in the company, not trying to make much money, mainly to let her integrate into the life of the city as soon as possible. ”
Cen Youjun said: "Then I will thank Xiaolin for them." ”
"Lao Cen, why didn't you bring your sister-in-law and children here? Didn't I tell the story in my letter? Lin Zhenhua said to Cen Youxin.
Cen Youxin waved his hand: "My wife, I can't bear the few acres of responsibility land at home." But that's fine, I'm running outside all day and night, and I don't have time to care about them. Let them stay in the country, I can rest assured. ”
Lin Zhenhua said: "Okay, wait for this side to be more stable, and then take them out." ”
Speaking of this, the secretary Wang Junxian knocked on the door and came in, and he said to Lin Zhenhua: "Manager Lin, the small canteen is ready, Manager Peng and Manager Lang have arrived, when will you go?" ”
"We'll go right away." Lin Zhenhua responded, and then, he turned his head and said to the Cen brothers: "Platoon leader, old Cen, I asked the office to prepare a table in the small canteen, and invited some main leaders in the company, let's meet together." In the future, although you both belong to two different companies, you need to get to know each other if you don't look up all day long. ”
Cen Youjun stood up and said briskly: "It's just right, I also plan to learn from the leaders of the state-owned factories." ”
