The fourth chapter of the second part, Ruan Mingzhu, is beginning to show its edge
Liang Yimin's sudden visit reminded him of a major matter that had to be decided.
A week ago, Mei Xinzhou, chairman of Jiangnan Aquaculture Company, a partner of the import and export company, discussed one thing with him: in recent years, the domestic and foreign sales tasks of the aquatic products company have increased at a rate of 30% every year, and the existing scale has been unable to meet the needs. Gozeqi's first impression was that the matter was profitable and worth considering, and promised to give a clear answer in ten days.
The export business of aquatic products companies has grown substantially every year, and Ge Zeqi is very clear. Aquatic companies do not have the right to enter and exit independently, and all their import and export operations are handled through the channels of Gozeqi. In recent years, the company has charged management fees according to the agreement between the two parties, which has become a new growth point for the company's profits. At the beginning of the year, when formulating the annual work plan, Ge Zeqi considered developing into a real enterprise and exploring the possibility of further cooperation with Mei Xinzhou, but was blocked by Ruan Mingzhu.
A year after the establishment of the Machinery Import and Export Company, Ge Zeqi arranged Ruan Mingzhu as the manager of the finance department. The person in charge of finance is the core management of the enterprise, and is generally regarded as a cronie by the family members of the enterprise. Ge Zeqi's withdrawal from the position of deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and bringing Ruan Mingzhu to the company shows that the relationship between them is not ordinary, which is a well-known and tacit matter within the company.
Especially since they are both bachelors, in the eyes of others, it is not surprising that with Gozeqi's status as an "old cow eats tender grass". However, after careful observation by experienced and attentive people. It seems that there is no ambiguity between the two of them. This is strange, according to folk word-of-mouth, Goze is not spotless in terms of money and women. So, can he easily let go of the beauties around him, and the rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest?
Machinery import and export companies are state-owned enterprises, and the main senior leaders must be appointed by the competent authorities at a higher level. At present, no one openly competes with Ge Zeqi for the position of general manager, because he is holding Yu Wei, who is the former leader of the municipal party committee, not only has a wide range of contacts, but also has good business performance. There are no special circumstances, and no one can shake his position.
However, the risks of the market economy are always present. No one can guarantee that the company they run will be successful once and for all, and in case of a storm, his general manager throne is not a 10,000-year pile, and it is inevitable that he will be attacked. Thus. Prevention is a must. Gozeki understood. This is only a passive precaution, and a more proactive measure is to completely leave state-owned enterprises and start their own businesses. This is a profound lesson that he took the initiative to withdraw from the torrent of the leadership of the municipal party committee: Officialdom is like a chaotic stage, and you should take the initiative to withdraw from the stage rather than being ousted.
Ruan Mingzhu guessed Ge Zeqi's intentions very thoroughly, and he had a precise grasp of the direction of the current new situation: the main task in recent years is to accumulate capital and gather contacts. Finding the right time to take the crucial step of starting your own business.
Ruan Mingzhu knew that Ge Zeqi was not short of money, and he actually had the ability to invest in the registration of a small and medium-sized company. However, the timing is not right: some people will suspect that the registered capital is from an unknown source. Nowadays, there are not a few shrewd people with keen eyes and super analytical skills, why do such stupid things to swagger through the market and bury hidden dangers for themselves?
From the perspective of financial management, Ruan Mingzhu analyzed the pros and cons and advised Ge Zeqi to work steadily. Ruan Mingzhu said that at present, the company's profits mainly come from the import and export of machine tools and the export of aquatic products. In recent years, the national economic situation is optimistic, and the import and export volume of the machinery industry has increased significantly, and the company has benefited. The export of aquatic products is also increasing year by year, and Boss Mei has made a lot of contributions to our company.
However, the state's examination and approval of import and export authority is gradually relaxed, and the number of trading companies with independent import and export rights has increased by seven or eight, and production enterprises such as Sanjiang Machine Tool Company have also gained autonomy. This situation has made companies like us, which are mainly foreign trade, face more and more fierce competition, and profit margins have dropped significantly. In the first two years, the list of good work was about ten points, and now there are three or four points. As a result, the company's own capital stock has always been stagnant. The company's trading business mainly relied on bank loans, and the increase in interest expenses partially offset the profit.
Ruan Mingzhu is worried that the company and the Meixinzhou Aquatic Products Company have signed a "bank loan mutual guarantee agreement", and the total amount of mutual guarantee reaches 90 million yuan, which is relatively risky. It is understood that Xia Minglan has suffered a lot of losses in terms of guarantees, and by last month she had lost more than 30 million yuan due to guarantees. The machine tool company is big, and it can't afford it, and the impact on the enterprise is too great, not to mention the import and export companies that are not big or small, in case it really falls on their heads, they can't bear it.
Gozerqi understood what she meant. "Your opinion is that the idea of the company developing in the direction of a physical enterprise is not advisable?"
Ruan Mingzhu nodded: "My idea is that in terms of the company's goals, it is more prudent to maintain the current profit level and the risk is small. No matter how much the company's profits do, it is all state. Individuals just take more bonuses, do you dare to take it for yourself? I don't dare! Stealing meat from the public pot to eat, sooner or later you have to spit it out, and you can't draw it! As for Mei Xinzhou's private gift, there is no trace of water, and no one can control it! After two or three years of operation in the current state, you can consider retreating from the company!
The second point is that Meixinzhou's aquaculture industry is not stable, don't look at the export volume of steamed fish he has cultivated in recent years, but the export object is only one country. It's not good to hang yourself from a tree in business. Now he wants to expand the scale, and he has to add another 30 million funds. I have learned about the assets of Meixinzhou Company, in addition to thousands of acres of land, the fixed assets are pitiful, and the working capital is in the water, in addition to fish or fish, your heart is empty? ”
Gozerqi listened and nodded. "It makes sense, if those fish can't be sold and can't be turned into money, once the capital chain is broken, there will be big trouble. I originally thought that the current situation is better, and I will talk about it in a few years. It seems that your opinion is still sound, and people can't be too greedy. However, how to reply from Mei Xinzhou's side, think safely, and don't hurt the feelings between us! ”
Ruan Mingzhu smiled and said: "I have also thought about this problem, there is a way to get the best of both worlds, how about finding a stand-in?" ”
Gozerqi thought for a moment and smiled. "You can figure it out! We also benefited from helping Mei Xinzhou make his project a success. Even if we can't do it, it's none of our business! Who is the stand-in? ”
Ruan Mingzhu smiled. "Jia Fugui, the god of wealth of the three rivers and four masters, do you think it's okay?"
Gozeqiha laughed. "Good, good. The brain moved to Liang Yimin's head, and he had courage! It seems that I underestimated you before, from a vase to a financial expert, and now I am promoted to a high ginseng, and I am making rapid progress! ”
Ruan Mingzhu pouted and said: "Look at what you said, people just use a little more thought, and they don't all learn from you, the old fox!" Otherwise, in a few years, your old man will see that I am old and decrepit, and staying by my side will hinder my hands, and I will not kick it! ”
An ambiguous smile appeared on Gozeqi's face. "I see! You've finally shown your fox tail. I'm wondering, there are more companies with deep pockets in the Sanjiang area, why do you fancy Zhongchangsheng Company? At this moment, I realized that there is a suave playboy Zou Libo in Jiangzhong, who is a master of flower picking in the spring of the garden! ”
Ruan Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then "giggled" and laughed: "How can this sound sour?" You're right, it's a little interesting. Zou Libo understands women and is romantic enough. Doesn't it mean that men are not bad and women are not loved? It doesn't matter how many flowers he picks, as long as it's good to me! ”
Gozeqi chuckled. "I dare to pack the ticket, with you to negotiate with Jia Fugui, Meixinzhou's project will definitely be successful."
Ruan Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "Let me participate in the negotiations?" For such a big matter, Jia Fugui will definitely pull his brothers, aren't you afraid that Zou Libo will take the opportunity to pick flowers? ”
Gozerqi laughed. "Zou Libo has a thief's heart and a thief's guts, I don't doubt it. But I believe that our company is an impregnable wall, and he doesn't have the ability to dig into the wall! ”
Ruan Mingzhu tilted his head and asked with a smile: "Mr. Ge doesn't often say, 'It's hard to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and you don't know your heart when you know people.'" 'Are you really that confident?' ”
Gozeqi was full of spirit. "You doubt my vision? In the past few decades, I have never misseen a person or a wrong thing! Especially to you, am I wrong? ”
Ruan Mingzhu smiled slightly. "Don't talk too much, otherwise, you won't be able to take back what you say! In the end, I am not mistaken, no one in this world can tell!
People change. Let's just talk about Mr. Ge, how many twists and turns have you had in your life experience? At first, he was a meritorious man, and later he became a gangster; A few days later, he became a revolutionary cadre again. For a period of time, he also wore the hat of a reactionary. Now it's changed again, and it's become a red-capped merchant! You say, "Do you see it?" When you were criticizing capitalists, did you ever think that one day you would become the person you once impassionedly criticized?
All in all, Mr. Ge can't even see through himself what kind of person you will become, and can you still see me clearly? ”
Gozeqi was greatly surprised, he had never heard her speak at length before, and he was not impressed by the momentum of her boastful talk at the moment.
Ruan Mingzhu saw that Ge Zeqi's demeanor was different, and suddenly realized that he was a little out of shape, Uncle Peng repeatedly warned him to keep a low profile, how could he say these words that did not match his identity?
Ge Zeqi grinned and said, "You seem to have suddenly changed someone, so I don't even know each other." It's also to blame that I cared too little about you before, burying your talents, if I had found out a few years earlier, you should have sat in the position of the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, but it's a pity, it's a pity! ”
Ruan Mingzhu saw that he seemed to have associations in other aspects, and hurriedly covered up: "I was touched by the small talk of the people in the company a few days ago, and now I think about it casually, don't take it to heart, just think of it as the wind in your ears, and you can go in and out of the east and west!" ”
Ge Zeqi said: "What you said makes sense. It seems that I did oversay that the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart. Someone abroad has invented a lie detector, which is known as the most advanced in the world, but in fact, there is no way to meet people who are not shocked and strong-willed! ”
Ruan Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt remorseful: I was too careless in what I said, I must be cautious in the future, and I must not make mistakes again! (To be continued......)
