Chapter 255: Collective opposition
In the past, Tongda Group obtained this iron ore through fierce competition. At that time, the reserves of iron ore were not very large, and it was only later when I discovered that the reserves were relatively large, and I found that I had won the bet.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take it at the time.
Now, although there are a lot of iron ore reserves, according to Xie Jiang's sixth sense, in two years, the steel market will be in a downturn, which is also worth considering.
Of course, the key thing is that Liu Quan thought that Xie Jiang was going to engage in a housing project. How much does it cost to build a house for the miners with the money you earn?
There are more than 3,000 workers in the iron mine, and each person has a house, and the subsidy is 50 percent, at least more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, that is, about 500 million. This made Liu Quanshui feel that the egg hurt very much, and he was reluctant to give the miners so much welfare.
According to the income of his 5 percent shares, he has to spend 20 or 30 million yuan to build houses for the workers, and he is even more reluctant.
In this way, Liu Quanshui thought that he would either stop Xie Jiang's idea. Either you can only support Xie Jiang and transfer the iron ore. Take this money and go to develop real estate.
It's just that he hasn't thought about it now, and it's not good to communicate with Xie Jiang, so he can only think about it, return to the company, and go to other executives to discuss it together.
After returning to the company, Xie Jiang was busy with his affairs, and Liu Quanshui went to talk to Chief Engineer Hu and another deputy general manager surnamed Zhang about this matter and discussed with them what to do.
When Chief Engineer Hu heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "What, Executive Xie wants the company to pay for the miners' housing project." ”
"How's that going to work?"
"We run a business, not a charity."
"This, I don't agree."
Liu Quanshui said: "Then let's transfer the iron ore." ”
Chief Engineer Hu hurriedly said: "There are many mines that are engaged in mines." ”
"It's hard for people to find iron ore like ours, and if we transfer it, others will laugh at it."
Liu Quanshui continued: "According to Xie Changchang's analysis, in a year or two, the steel market will go downhill. ”
"At that time, there will be three or four years, and it will be difficult to open an iron mine."
Chief Engineer Hu said with a smile: "I'm Lao Liu, you are an old miner." ”
"The market is up and down, and you can't open a mine just because the market is good, and sell a mine when the market is bad."
While the two were talking, Deputy General Manager Zhang came in and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Quanshui repeated.
Deputy General Manager Zhang said with a smile: "The iron mine continues to open, and I am afraid of the market downturn in the future." ”
"If the market is not good, we will save energy and tap potential and reduce output."
"When the market comes up, we will start production at full capacity."
"As long as you hold the mine in your hands, you are not afraid of the ups and downs of the market."
Then, they all rushed to Xie Jiang's office to discuss the matter with Xie Jiang.
He said that iron ore cannot be sold, and housing projects cannot be carried out.
If you want to carry out a housing project, let the miners raise funds to build houses at their own expense. Companies can't do this good deed.
Xie Jiang waited for them to finish speaking, and then said unhurriedly: "We are engaged in a housing project, and if we engage in fund-raising to build houses, then the miners will not pay to raise funds." ”
Chief Engineer Hu said: "If they don't agree, then they won't carry out the housing project." ”
"They're going to have their own house anyway."
Xie Jiang said: "We don't carry out housing projects, and their housing conditions are so poor, which is not good for health." It's also not good for the image of our company. ”
Deputy General Manager Zhang hurriedly said: "Executive Xie, you are benevolent. ”
"That's not our business."
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are not something we can control."
"As long as we manage the iron ore well, it is good to make money every year."
Chief Engineer Hu said: "According to what you said, the steel market will be sluggish in the next two years. ”
"Then you saw it, and people saw it."
"That person won't come to buy our mine when the market is not good."
Deputy General Manager Zhang said with a smile: "If people want to buy, they will buy it when the market is about to improve." ”
"I won't buy it knowing that the market is bad."
Xie Jiang smiled and said, "So, let's sell it while the market is still very good." ”
Deputy General Manager Zhang shook his head: "I don't approve of the transfer of iron ore. ”
"This iron mine can be opened for at least 20 years, and it is a mountain of gold and silver."
"You are willing, I am reluctant."
Chief Engineer Hu also smiled busily: "I don't agree." ”
Liu Quanshui didn't speak, just listened to their discussion.
Xie Jiang thought about it for a while, and said, "I have decided now, either to transfer the iron ore as soon as possible." ”
"Either the company pays for the miners' housing project."
"Of these two, you can only choose one, and there is no third one."
Chief Engineer Hu and Deputy General Manager Zhang shouted in unison: "You can't be so domineering." ”
"Although we don't have many shares, we also have the right to speak."
Seeing this, Liu Quanshui immediately played a round: "Don't get excited, discuss it well." ”
"There will be a way."
Deputy General Manager Zhang said very unhappily: "He just threw out these two, so what else can be done." ”
Xie Jiang smiled: "I have two, but there are two ways for each one." ”
Everyone immediately looked at Xie Jiang in shock, not knowing what he meant. He didn't speak for a while.
Xie Jiang took a sip of water before he said unhurriedly: "To carry out the housing project, we can take two ways: selling and renting. ”
"The money for the housing project that compensated the miners was deducted from their wages in the form of wage increases."
"Now, isn't the price of labor rising everywhere?"
"We're definitely going to give our employees a salary increase."
"Then, we will subsidize it in the form of housing projects."
Deputy General Manager Zhang immediately shook his head: "No matter which way, I don't agree." ”
Chief Engineer Hu said: "If you raise wages in this way, those employees will not agree." ”
"More than half of our mines are from other places, and they are here to make money. Not here to settle down. ”
"They're not going to pay for a house."
Xie Jiang said with a smile: "They pay to buy a house, so they have to pay for rent." ”
Deputy General Manager Zhang hurriedly said: "They live well in the shed now, and it is impossible to pay for rent." ”
Xie Jiang said with a smile: "We demolished the shed, and they can only rent a house." ”
"Then, we will give them free housing in the form of wage increases. Then the house is still the company. ”
Chief Engineer Hu hurriedly shook his head: "I don't approve." ”
Deputy General Manager Zhang said: "I don't approve of it either. ”
"Unless you fire us and find someone else to be an executive."
