At 9 o'clock in the morning on April 20, 1978, Zhou Xiaodong's brother-in-law brought two colleagues from Uncle Zhou's Economic Management Bureau to our office.

After everyone introduced each other, me, Uncle Sin, Xiao Da and Brother Li De talked to them in the office.

Zhou Xiaodong smiled and said, "Ah Cai, Uncle Xian! I'm just in charge of leading the way! I don't know anything! Let's talk about it! I'll just sit in and report back to my dad! ”

A colleague from the Economic Management Bureau said with a smile: "Zhou Zilong! We know that you are a relative of our boss! He is also a powerful figure in the overseas economic circles! If you come and take over this base, you will do a great thing for both of us! We also know that you are an expert in the development of international free trade zones! That's why we're looking for you to negotiate the contracting of this base! As long as you are willing to take over this matter, you can negotiate any conditions! ”

I said, "Okay! Thank you for your appreciation! We don't know what it takes! Let's talk about what you think! ”

The man said: "The conditions we offer are very simple, we are ready to take out all the land, property and facilities and other high-quality assets of the research institute, the military camp and the industrial base to the contracted operators to operate!" The mode of operation can be carried out in the form of a closed international industrial bonded zone! In terms of supporting laws and regulations required for this project, we have you covered! At that time, if the local area already had these things, you could just contract and operate! The contracted operation period is 40 years, and in the process of operation, the contractor is independent and self-responsible! The operating conditions are that within three years, you must fully restore the normal production and social operation of the base! At the same time, after you take over the base, you will immediately arrange for the resettlement of the existing demobilized personnel, and solve the placement, employment and life of the returnees and their families from the base! Otherwise, we'll have to take back the base and do it ourselves! As a result, all losses caused by the contractor shall be borne by themselves! In the process of the contractor's operation, we do not interfere with the contractor's business activities and do not contribute money! In the future, the project will generate operating profits, and the headquarters and the contractor will share it 6:4! We account for 60% and the contractor accounts for 40%! That's the basic thing! ”

I said, "Do you need to set up a dedicated company to contract this base?" ”

Another said, "Of course! We've got you covered! This company is called Zhongnan Modern Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Zhongnan Science and Technology), we have issued for you to register and record the affiliation documents and franchise documents in the local industrial and commercial departments, etc., you can enjoy the preferential treatment of enterprises directly under the army! These are the registration and filing documents of the base project company, the "Project Operation Contract", and the "Transfer List" and asset certification documents of the personnel, land, property, facilities and equipment that need to be handed over to the contractor for the project. You can take a closer look! Then, you will give us a clear answer right away! ”

So, two colleagues from the Economic Management Bureau left us a bag, and Zhou Xiaodong took the two of them out to the guest room to rest.

Several people from our Office continue to meet in the conference room.

Uncle Xian said: "Ah Cai! This business project involves a lot of content and problems, if we contract to operate this project, we not only have to run a business, but also to place a large number of returnees for employment and life, etc., which is equivalent to running a society! You have to think about these things! It's up to you to decide! If you want to do it, we will fully cooperate with you to get this thing done! ”

I said, "Okay! If, in terms of making money from doing business, this thing is definitely not a good thing! However, in order to repay the society, do good deeds, and for the future development of the company! We should indeed do some losses and hard things for this society! Therefore, I decided to take on this project! It's a big deal that we spend more money and energy, and ask capable people to help us work! Actually, if we want to do it, we must do it well! Let the headquarters and society get benefits! ”

Everyone applauded my statement!

So, Brother Li De went to inform Zhou Xiaodong and Uncle Zhou, and asked them to go to the conference room to sign the "Project Operation Contracting Contract" of the Yangcheng base with me.

Zhou Zhenguo had already signed and sealed the contract on behalf of the headquarters contractor, so I, as the chairman of Zhou Zilong's Yangcheng Hualong Company, signed and stamped the official seal of Yangcheng Hualong Company.

After signing the contract, they gave me two signed "Project Operation Contracting Contracts", as well as the registration and filing documents such as the "Franchise Certificate" of Zhongnan Science and Technology Company, the "Project Operation Contracting Contract", and the "Transfer List" and asset certification documents of the personnel, land, property, facilities and equipment involved in the project.

A colleague of Uncle Zhou shook hands with me and said, "Chairman Zhou! Congratulations! Now the contract is in effect! You should immediately go to the local industrial and commercial department to register and file the company, and immediately carry out substantive work! Otherwise, it is not easy to breach the contract! ”

We then sent the three of them to the courtyard of the office, where they left in their jeeps.

After they left, I asked Uncle Xian, Aunt Wen and Brother Li Dege to go to the local industrial and commercial department to register and file "Zhongnan Modern Technology Group Co., Ltd." with the "Project Operation Contract", as well as the registration and filing documents such as the "Franchise Certificate" of Zhongnan Science and Technology Company, the "Project Operation Contracting Contract", and the "Transfer List" and asset certification documents of the personnel, land, property, facilities and equipment involved in the project.

The three of them drove out in the car with their papers.

At noon, Uncle Xian, Aunt Wen and Brother Li De came back with the business license, tax registration, bank account, and various seals of "Zhongnan Modern Technology Group Co., Ltd." (hereinafter referred to as Zhongnan Technology).

Zhou Zilong became the chairman of Yangcheng South Science and Technology Co., Ltd., with 60% of the shares of the Headquarters Economic Management Bureau and 40% of the shares of Yangcheng Hualong Company, which was established on April 20, 1978.

Soon, Xiaodong's brother-in-law drove back alone, and then, everyone had lunch and chatted together.

Xiaodong's brother-in-law said, "Alas! Ahh You're deciding things too quickly! This is not an ordinary difficult thing to do! ”

I said, "It's okay! Now, it's hard to do anything! It's not our turn to do things that aren't easy to do! ”

Xiaodong's brother-in-law smiled and said, "Ah Cai! It's a fierce person like yours who dares to take this hornet's nest to play! However, my father is very happy that you have taken on this matter! He said, you're a genius! You'll be able to get this done! ”

Everyone laughed!

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Brother-in-law! Who is Ah Cai?! We know it well! If Ah Cai hadn't looked at your face, he would definitely not have taken on this drudgery so easily! ”

I said, "Alas! The contract has already been signed, and it is useless to say anything in reality! We'll just have to find a way to do things with our butts pouted! ”

Xiaodong's brother-in-law said: "Ah Cai! Tomorrow, you still go to the field, you have been contracted to run the entire industry! In terms of research institutes, you go to Huang Chunying, the person in charge of the base research institute, she is a returnee doctor in her fifties! As for the barracks, you look for Mr. Dong Guangrong, the person in charge there, who is in his forties. At present, among the assets of the base taken over, there are only these two units, and there are demobilized personnel and their families who need to be resettled! There may be more than 200 people in the research institute, and there should be two or three thousand people with their families in the barracks! After you take over this base, the headquarters will immediately issue a notice to these people to transfer jobs and discharge from the army, and when the time comes, they will definitely ask you to arrange employment and life for them, so you must make employment and resettlement plans for these people in advance! If these people don't have money to eat and live, you're in default! ”

I said, "Okay! We just place them according to the regulations and standards! How much can these things cost?! You reassured Uncle Zhou about this matter! ”

Uncle Xian said, "Xiaodong! We are facing a lot of problems in terms of the industrial manufacturing base and logistics base of the contracted project! At present, tens of thousands of returnees live in the family area of the industrial base! These people are like psoriasis, if they are left alone, they will rot and breed viciousness! If you want to cut it, it will hurt your muscles and bones! It will take a lot of money and effort to manage these places well! ”

Xiaodong's brother-in-law said, "Alas! Uncle Xian! This is the case in every city now! You can work together with the local government to find a way to do these things! Now, the whole society is testing our ability and determination to serve the people! My dad is a lot old, he has just taken over the economic work at the headquarters, and his work pressure is really high! Now, the headquarters management bureau is also starting from scratch! There is no money or anything in the account! The current economic situation is really difficult! This time, I also saw that my father was so pitiful, and I promised my father to come and plead with Ah Cai! Unexpectedly, Ah Cai happily served the people! Therefore, on behalf of the Zhou family, I, Zhou Xiaodong, thank Ah Cai! ”

After eating, Xiaodong's brother-in-law said goodbye to us, and he drove to a hotel by himself, where he was going to rush back to the capital with his colleagues from the Economic Management Bureau of the headquarters to report on the signing of the contract.

After my brother-in-law left, all the staff of our office held an inaugural meeting of Zhongnan Technology Company in the conference room, which was attended by me, Uncle Xian, Aunt Wen, Xiaoda, Brother Lide, Brother Zhengjun, Brother Zhengmin and Sister Caiyan.

I said, "Colleagues! Today, unconsciously, we established Southern Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd.! Now, eight of my colleagues founded the founders of this company! ”

Everyone applauds!

I said, "Now, let's do a division of labor for everyone!" I serve as the chairman of Zhongnan Science and Technology Co., Ltd., and concurrently serve as the general manager of the company, responsible for the company's capital scheduling and major decisions! Comrade Xian Jinhua served as the executive deputy general manager of Zhongnan Company, responsible for the company's daily affairs management and specific business supervision and implementation guidance; Comrade Wen Fenghua served as the director of the finance department of Zhongnan Company, and Lan Caiyan served as the cashier; Comrade Xian Lide served as the manager of the company's administrative and personnel department and assistant to the general manager, assisting the executive deputy general manager to handle specific business! Zhou Zisheng served as the assistant to the chairman and assisted the chairman in his work; Zhuang Zhengjun is the manager of the project operation department of Zhongnan Company, and Zhuang Zhengmin is the deputy manager of the operation department, and the operation department is responsible for the project preparation, investment promotion and management of the operation process! ”

After drinking tea, I said: "What we are going to do immediately is: First, conduct a comprehensive investigation and study of the entire project, find out the family background and personnel situation, do a good job, transfer the base personnel and the resettlement of veterans, and implement the wages and benefits of the resettled personnel with reference to the regulations and local standards!" 2. Conduct research on the production and living capacity of the base, and formulate a development plan and budget for the project to restore production and living capacity! Through the investment of capital, manpower and material resources, we must restore the capacity and foundation of the base to resettle manufacturing enterprises, resettle the returnees and their families, and arrange jobs for them if they have the ability to work, and give them living subsidies if they are not able to work! At the same time, all improve the living environment of the company's employees and their families! Achieve full social stability at the base! ”

Everyone applauded and agreed!

After the meeting, Aunt Wen showed me and Uncle Xian the financial statements of Yangcheng Hualong Company, which were as follows:

At the time of settlement on August 19 last year, the cash of the office was: 88.753 million yuan, 600,000 US dollars.

The account of Yangcheng Hualong Company is: cash is 650 million yuan, and the deposit certificate on the account is:

(1) $3,000,000,000 deposit at an annual interest rate of 9.5% from January 28, 1977 to January 29, 1982.

(2) $20 billion in deposits with an annual interest rate of 9.5% from June 21, 1977 to June 22, 1982.

Expenditures for the period from 19 August 1977 to 20 April 1978:

Office management expenses: 7,500 yuan/month× September=67,500 yuan;

Spring Festival expenses: 70,000 yuan.

As a result, the cash of the office amounted to $88,615,500 and $0.6 million.

The account situation of Yangcheng Hualong Company is that a new interest of 285 million yuan has been recently entered, so the cash in the account is: 935 million yuan. There is no change for fixed deposits.

After reading the report, I said, "Aunt Wen! In the future, the salaries and expenses of the six of you will still be spent in Hualong Company! Zhongnan Technology Company is responsible for the placement of personnel and new employees and other expenses, you have to go to the relevant local departments as soon as possible to get their wages and living allowance standards for these personnel! We follow the documents! ”

Aunt Wen said, "Ah Cai! I'll go to the HR and Labor Department tomorrow to ask them for this standard! ”

Uncle Xian said: "Ah Cai! It turns out that the professionals and veterans of the base, are we resettled as much as they give us? ”

I said, "That's how it should be!" As long as it meets the regulations, we will accept and place! ”

Uncle Xian said: "Ah Cai! What about the screening and placement of returnees and their families at the base? That's a matter of tens of thousands of people! Oh no, I spent money, they might still make trouble! ”

I said, "This is already a way to find their personnel files, or ask them to provide their original identification, or let their active duty unit issue them an identification certificate!" After the screening is completed, they will be given living subsidies first, and they will be provided with electricity, water, roads, and a better living environment! Then, in the process of rebuilding the base go step by step to arrange work for them! ”

Uncle Xian said, "Understood! Tomorrow morning, let's talk to Huang Chunying and Dong Guangrong to learn more! ”

I said, "Okay! Tomorrow morning, I, Uncle Xian, Xiaoda and Brother Lide will go together! ”
