Xunyang City is located in the northernmost part of Jiangnan Province, close to the Yangtze River, and is one of the important industrial cities in Jiangnan Province. Xunyang Bicycle Factory is a medium-sized enterprise directly under the Department of Light Chemistry, producing a bicycle called "Feijian" brand.

Historically, the Flying Sword bicycle was once the most selling bicycle in the market in Jiangnan Province, but now it is in decline. Xunyang Bicycle Factory has been unsalable for two consecutive years, owes more than 2 million loans to the bank, and is already in a state of insolvency.

Lin Zhenhua and his entourage sat in the Jiefang brand truck sent by Hanhua Factory, and finally came to Xunyang after a day of bumps. The driver knew the location of Xunyang Bicycle Factory and drove the car directly into the gate of Xunzi.

As soon as he entered the gate, Lin Zhenhua was fascinated by the scene in front of him:

In front of me was an idyllic and peaceful scene, and on both sides of the road, there were green vegetable gardens. It was early winter, and the cabbage in the field was growing green and pleasant. On the iron frame next to it, there are dry melon vines, and it can be imagined that in the middle of summer, this place was once full of abundant loofahs, cucumbers, and pumpkins...... Beneath the melon trellis, flocks of chickens and ducks are strolling leisurely, and from time to time a hen will gouge something delicious from the ground and coo, calling her children to come and share.

In the cabbage field, several farmers in blue overalls are working hard, and the hoes and stirrups in their hands are bright and shiny, and they look carefully made of good steel. Seeing a truck entering the factory, the farmers looked up, talked to each other a few words, and then went back to work.

"What a heartwarming scene." Lin Zhenhua said with heartfelt emotion, he turned back to Chu Hongyang and said: "Hongyang, it seems that Xunyang looks good, and the farms in the factory are so prosperous." ”

Chu Hongyang couldn't cry or laugh, he learned the Hong Kong accent that Lin Zhenhua usually came out of ridicule and said: "Boss, are you mistaken, is this the factory in Xunyang, is this the factory in Xunyang, the small building in the middle of the vegetable field is their factory headquarters." ”

As he spoke, the truck had stopped in front of the factory department. It is already surrounded by large vegetable patches, leaving only a small parking area, and the ground is also strecked with chicken manure. A middle-aged man walked out of the small building of the factory department and greeted Lin Zhenhua: "Excuse me, you are Lin Zhenhua, the manager of Hanhua Industrial Company, right?" Welcome, I am the factory director of Xunyang, my name is Qiu Qingyang. ”

Lin Zhenhua stepped forward and shook Qiu Qingyang's hand and said, "Director Qiu, take the liberty of disturbing." ”

Qiu Qingyang said repeatedly: "Where is it, we have been looking forward to you coming over, let's go, go upstairs to the conference room to talk." ”

The group followed Qiu Qingyang to the conference room, and several leaders and middle-level cadres from Xunyang had also come over. A secretary poured water for everyone, Lin Zhenhua casually looked at the water cup, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental: What a poor factory, the water cup is missing, there are only a few tea leaves, and it seems to be the cheapest kind of tea.

"Director Qiu, why is our factory a vegetable field, what's the matter, it's contracted to the surrounding farmers?" Lin Zhenhua asked curiously, this kind of scene really gave him too impactful feeling.

Qiu Qingyang turned his head to look out the window, sighed, and said, "What are the surrounding farmers, these are the fields planted by the workers of our factory. Those few people are our workers. The one on the very edge, called He Shihua, is the best fitter in our factory. Now, he has become a farmer, and the vegetables he grows have the highest yield in the whole factory. ”

When Qiu Qingyang said this, everyone in Hanhua Factory couldn't help but want to laugh, but looking at the group of people in Xunzi with a gloomy look on their faces, everyone couldn't laugh.

"The factory is collapsing." Qiu Qingyang sighed and said: "20,000 bicycles are backlogged in the warehouse and can't be sold." I owe the bank 1.6 million yuan for materials alone, as well as wages, water and electricity, and now I can't hold on. ”

Lang Dong, deputy director of the factory, added: "The bank can't borrow money, and now when the salary is paid every month, our factory director Qiu has to sit with the mayor to get the salary loan and pay the salary." But bonuses, benefits, nothing. The family workers have all been dismissed, and the workers in the factory can't survive, so they can only grow some vegetables and raise some chickens by themselves. At the beginning, everyone still did it in front of the house and behind the house, but now as long as there is a little land in the factory, it is occupied. You say, can we stop it? ”

"There are also medical expenses, which have not been reimbursed for more than a year." Another deputy factory director, Shi Dalun, said.

Qiu Qingyang said: "Alas, there is no way, everyone can grow some vegetables, and they can also subsidize their lives." However, Manager Lin, you can rest assured that our production area has remained the same, and I did not agree with the workers to go to the production area to open up wasteland. ”

Lin Zhenhua turned his head to look at his staff, and Chu Hongyang and Peng Shaozhe both gave him a helpless look. Nowadays, some state-owned enterprises are relatively miserable, which is known to everyone, but it is really rare to be so miserable. Lin Zhenhua began to worry a little that he wouldn't have jumped into a big pit.

"Director Qiu, what about this, we are here today, mainly to discuss the matter of cooperation, the request given to us by the Department of Light Chemical Industry is to solve the problem of the current Xunzi workers can not pay wages, as for Xunzi's bank arrears, as well as arrears of medical expenses, our company's financial strength is not enough, I am afraid it will be ......" Lin Zhenhua said to Qiu Qingyang with a chewing word.

Qiu Qingyang nodded: "I know, when I went to Nandu to see Director Xie two days ago, she had already made it clear to me. Director Xie specially warned me, saying that you are a typical example of the cultivation in the hall, and we will never be allowed to ask for you to eat and take cards. You can rest assured, we are poor, our ambitions are not short, and the things we want to eat and take cards will definitely not appear. ”

Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to hurriedly say: "Director Qiu, you misunderstood, we have never doubted the sincerity of Xunzi's cooperation." Why don't we start talking about cooperation? ”

Qiu Qingyang said: "Okay, no problem. I heard Director Xie say that your current plan is to rent our two workshops as your production base, right? ”

"Exactly." Lin Zhenhua replied.

"And recruit no less than 200 workers to participate in production?"

"Yes." Lin Zhenhua said, "But, Director Qiu, our brothers settle accounts, and the ugly things have to be said in front." The workers we want to recruit must be skilled, disciplined, and obedient to management, if we are lazy and slippery, we have no choice but to ask him to leave. ”

Qiu Qingyang said: "I know this, Director Xie has already told me, saying that you are not a state-owned enterprise, but a large collective." To be honest, your management system is much stronger than ours, and we here, although the central government has repeatedly stated that it will expand the autonomy of enterprises, but if we really want to dismiss a worker, it will not make a fuss, and some people will even make trouble with deducting some wages. Manager Lin, don't worry, I will explain this problem clearly to the workers in the factory. ”

"That's good." Lin Zhenhua said, "Director Qiu, there is one more thing to trouble you, that is, we will send 40 workers over in the early stage to be responsible for the transformation of the equipment. At a later stage, other workers will come over to take care of the management of the production process. Therefore, we would like to ask the factory to help solve the accommodation problem. ”

Qiu Qingyang's eyebrows furrowed into a pimple, and he said: "This problem is really difficult to handle, the factory has not built a new house for two years because of losses." Now all the houses have been divided, and the housing area of every family is not enough, and there are still 60 or 70 households in extreme difficulty, some of whom have been married for several years and still live in a single dormitory with other colleagues, and some whose children are almost 20 years old and still live in the same room with their parents. It's really difficult for you to ask us to settle the accommodation for 40 workers for you. ”

"This ...... If you really can't do it, can you borrow a few offices to squeeze in? Lin Zhenhua asked, "We are all single workers, and eight people can be in one room." ”

Lang Dong interjected: "Manager Lin, you can take a walk around our office building, the corridor is already full of stoves." The offices that can be vacated are all allocated to employees who have been married for five or six years, and there is no way, other people's children have already been born, so they can't live in single dormitories anymore. ”

As if to confirm Lang Dong's words, the cry of a little baby sounded in the corridor, and there was a faint sound of mother's comfort. A smell of stir-fried vegetables also took the opportunity to drill in along the crack in the door, and the smell of chili peppers made Lin Zhenhua's nasal cavity a little painful.

"It's really not good, let's just build a shed to live in." Peng Shaozhe whispered.

Lin Zhenhua's eyes lit up, and he turned to Qiu Qingyang and asked, "Director Qiu, there is another way, that is, we will build a house by ourselves." Can you make room for us, just find a place in the production area, and we'll build a few houses as our staff dormitories. You can rest assured, after the lease of our rented workshop expires, if we do not continue to cooperate, we will leave all these houses to Xunzi, which is your assets. ”

This kind of idea can only be imagined by a loser like Lin Zhenhua who has crossed over in the 21st century. A few bungalows, calculated according to the cost of construction and security, cost about five or six thousand yuan, and they will be given away for nothing after living for a few years, which is the behavior of fools. But Lin Zhenhua didn't care, in later life, he went out for meetings with his mentor and lived in a five-star hotel, which cost thousands of yuan a night. It costs five or six thousand yuan to live for a few years, which is quite cost-effective.

"Of course you can." Qiu Qingyang agreed directly without thinking about it. Zoning a homestead out, it is not costly at all, and after a few years, a few rooms can be left behind, but it is considered a vain choice.

Chu Hongyang gently pulled the corner of Lin Zhenhua's clothes, leaned over to it, and whispered, "Xiaohua, are you dizzy?" Even if we rent a hotel, it's much cheaper than that. ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "It's okay, how can the hotel have its own comfortable home." Leave it alone, I'll have the final say. ”

It is true that living in a hotel is cheaper than building a house, but to paraphrase a later generation: can a rented house be considered a house? It is undeniable that Lin Zhenhua still has a love plot. Xunzi's location is on the outskirts of Xunyang City, and the current land is really worthless, but 30 years later, it is estimated that the house price is three or four thousand, right? Build a few rooms here, and the value will appreciate in the future.

As for what the lease has expired, hehe, the bankruptcy law should be introduced at that time, brother, I will buy Xunzi directly, and this fertilizer will not flow into other people's fields.

Lin Zhenhua was dreaming in his heart, with a bright smile on his face.

The lease contract was quickly negotiated, and Hanhua Industrial Company leased three workshops of metalworking, casting and assembly in Xunzi at an annual rent of 50,000 yuan, and rented all the equipment in the workshop at a rent of 100,000 yuan. Among them, the equipment rent includes the depreciation of the equipment, but does not include the cost of maintenance and consumables.

Before signing, Qiu Qingyang took Lin Zhenhua and his entourage to the production area to look at the workshop and equipment, and confirmed the integrity of the building and equipment. Lin Zhenhua and others saw that although Xunzi had been losing money for a long time, the management of the workshop was not abandoned. The equipment in the workshop is obviously being maintained all the time, and there is no rust or oil stain to be seen. Some of the equipment in the workshop is even more advanced than the equipment of the Hanhua Machinery Factory, showing the domineering nature of this factory.

Lin Zhenhua was very satisfied with the situation of the equipment, he happily signed the contract and stamped it, and the contract was recognized. However, whether the contract can finally take effect or not still needs another seal from the Light Chemical Department.

According to the contract, the rent of 150,000 yuan was paid into Xunzi's account in three installments, and the first installment was paid immediately after the contract was approved by the Department of Light Chemical Industry. Qiu Qingyang is now anxious to use the money, and he is more concerned about this matter than anyone else. Without waiting for Lin Zhenhua and them to leave, he called the director of the factory office and asked him to buy a train ticket immediately, and rushed to Nandu with the contract to find Xie Chunyan to stamp it. It's also miserable, Xunzi originally had a few cars, but because he couldn't afford to buy gas, he was now lying on his stomach.

The recruitment of workers has also been settled, and it will take more than a month for Hanhua Industrial Company to renovate the plant and install the production line, so the workers in Xunzi will not be able to go to work after a month. After going to work, it is half a month of training, and those who pass the training can take up their posts.

The wages of the workers are calculated according to the original technical level, and are paid directly by Hanhua Industrial Company to Xunyang Bicycle Factory. Xunyang Bicycle Factory regards these wages as operating income and as wages for the whole factory. As for how to distinguish between employees who work and those who do not work in terms of wages, that is what Qiu Qingyang has to consider, although this matter is indeed a headache.

In the existing salary structure of Hanhua Industrial Company, the proportion of bonuses and overtime pay is very high, and Lin Zhenhua is determined to keep this part of the money in his own hands and pay it directly to the workers by Hanhua Industrial Company. In this regard, Qiu Qingyang also agreed. Lin Zhenhua's purpose in doing this is to leave a carrot on his hand, otherwise, the workers will work for him and get the wages of Xunyang Bicycle Factory, who will listen to him Lin Zhenhua's shouting?

There are other things to build an electric fan production base, such as water and electricity supply, and future rail and water transportation. Qiu Qingyang took all these things in a big way, Xunzi is also a big factory in the past, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the relationship network of various departments is still there, and it is not a problem to solve these problems.
