Chapter 125: The Beginning and End of Contracting
"Brother Yuan, this is not the place to talk."
Ermao looked at the corridor where people walked around from time to time, and said, "The conference room is not used now, let's go there and talk." ”
Lu Yuan followed Ermao to the conference room.
At the end of the corridor, the conference room was originally the activity room of the factory trade union, where the Reform Office had previously invited housekeeping companies to hold a symposium. Today, the event room signage above the entrance has been removed and replaced with a brand new "conference room" signage.
In the conference room, Ermao talked about the ins and outs of their little couple going to the factory guest house......
Hearing him say this, Lu Yuan knew that he was wrong to blame Zheng Yiming. It turned out that the two of them went to the factory guest house, not as simple as job transfer, but they themselves took the initiative and volunteered to lay off, and contracted the factory guest house to the factory for a contract period of five years.
This one...... It really surprised Lu Yuan!
Because most of the employees who took the initiative to be laid off in the factory were old and sick, and those who took the initiative to be laid off at such a young age like the two of them, even if Lu Yuan had worked in the third group of the Reform Office for so long, it was the first time to see him.
However, he was more curious about the reason why they were laid off on their own initiative, and it was actually contracted to operate the factory guest house for five years. Isn't the factory guest house an inherent asset of the three cotton mills? How can employees be allowed to contract privately? Is the guest house still considered a subordinate unit of the Three Cotton Factory?
The workers took the initiative to lay off and contracted the subordinate units of the three cotton factories, which is really a precedent for the establishment of the three cotton factories in Hangzhou!
Lu Yuan knew that the factory guest house used to be used to entertain foreign customers and brother units in the factory, with a total of 20 standard rooms, as well as two private rooms for dining, and never operated to the public. These two private rooms were occasionally used by factory leaders to improve food in the past. However, after Guan Liangyi came to work in the Sanmian Factory to take charge of reform, the first thing he did when he came to power was to announce that the factory leaders and middle-level cadres were strictly forbidden to take advantage of their positions to open a small stove in a private room in a guest house. Therefore, the factory guest house has become a veritable three-cotton factory hotel.
But even so, the factory guest house has always been the place where Guan Liangyi wants to reform. Because not only can it not bring revenue to the factory, but it also has to allocate funds every year to maintain its normal expenses, such as water and electricity expenses, hardware wear and tear, and the salaries of guest house staff. This is a subordinate unit that only goes in and out!
It is hard to imagine that a small guest house, including waiters, cleaners, plumbers, and the director of the guest house, is enough to occupy eight salary places in the three cotton factories.
Guan Liangyi repeatedly proposed at the party committee of the factory to ban the subordinate unit of the factory's guest house. However, it has always been opposed by other members of the party group, and the reason for opposition is that how can a state-owned unit as large as the Hangsan Cotton Factory not have its own guest house?
Although Xiang Zhonghai also agrees with Guan Liangyi's view, he thinks that the factory spends a lot of budget on the factory guest house every year, but he does not agree with the ban on the guest house, and his concern is that once the guest house is banned, how to solve the accommodation problem for customers who come from other places to cooperate? There are also brother units to inspect, superior leaders to inspect, how to solve the accommodation problem?
He held that Guan Liangyi's one-size-fits-all approach was not well considered, and repeatedly rejected Guan Liangyi's proposal to ban it.
Guan Liangyi didn't have a good solution for a while, so the problem of the factory guest house has been delayed.
……
Ermao listened to Lu Yuan's doubts and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, the matter of contracting out the factory guest house is actually not mentioned by the deputy director of the factory, but by the secretary!" ”
His answer surprised Lu Yuan again, and said, "Actually mentioned it to the secretary?" I thought that the idea of contracting a guest house was thought of by Deputy Director Guan! ”
Ermao said: "I also heard from others, saying that after Secretary Xiang came back from studying in the field last time, he has been discussing the feasibility of this contracting factory guest house with Deputy Director Guan." It's the time when you and Zhan Pengfei competed for the plan, and he didn't come back from studying in other places. I guess it should be that when he was studying in other places, he learned from the successful experience of other people's state-owned factories, right? ”
"Secretary Xiang is still good at learning advanced experience," Lu Yuan nodded sincerely, and said: "The measure of contracting the guest house to laid-off workers is really a stroke of genius!" It not only solves the old and difficult problem of the budget in the light flower factory, but also solves the problem of foreign customers, brother units and superior leaders to stay in our factory! The most important thing is that since it is contracted, the factory must charge relevant fees, which indirectly generates income for the factory. It's a triple win! ”
Ermao nodded heavily and said: "Yes, there were still people in the factory who secretly discussed in private before, saying that Secretary Xiang was the most opposed to the reform of the Three Cotton Factory, and I think he is the biggest supporter of the reform!" ”
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "I believe this, without the full support of the secretary, the reform work of Deputy Director Guan would not be able to be carried out smoothly." ”
However, he was more curious about how Ermao and Xiaoli had such great courage, and thought of taking the initiative to be laid off to contract a guest house with the factory.
Ermaozi said that the fact that the factory guest house was ready to be contracted out was still the news that Xiaoli heard when she was working in the personnel department before the New Year's Day holiday. When she went home for dinner, she took the opportunity to mention it and used it as a conversation point at the dinner table. Who knows that the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and after Xiaoli's brother-in-law at the dinner table heard it, he immediately felt that this was a very good business opportunity. Her brother-in-law is engaged in cargo transportation and drives a large truck, travels from south to north, and is well-informed.
He said that although there are many small hotels near the Hangsan cotton factory, there have been no decent hotels. If you can contract the guest house, simply renovate it and change it into a hotel, and then operate it externally, you can just make up for the gap in this area of hotels. Moreover, the guest house is a three-storey building of its own, geographically close to the main street outside the factory, only separated by a wall. Once the contract is signed, you can ask the factory to tear down the wall and then hang up the hotel signboard, so that it is completely independent of the Hangsan Cotton Factory and is not restricted by the Hangsan Cotton Factory.
After some words, his brother-in-law actually encouraged Xiaoli to take the initiative to lay off and contract a guest house with the factory, which is definitely a profitable business. After listening to this, of course, Xiaoli refused again and again, she did a good job in the personnel department, and she never thought about it at all.
The next day, when Xiaoli was having dinner at Ermao's house, she said these things about her brother-in-law. Who knew that after Ermao listened to these words of Xiaoli's brother-in-law, he also started to think about contracting a guest house. Immediately, after eating, he went to Xiaoli's house and asked his brother-in-law to discuss it.
After some discussion, the two of them, plus Xiaoli's brother-in-law, paid together to contract the factory guest house!
Of course, Xiaoli's brother-in-law proposed that the two of them had to come forward to find the factory, reduce the burden on the factory with the initiative to be laid off, and contract the business from scratch, so that they might be able to win great preferential policies and support from the factory.
The matter of the factory guest house was handed over to Tang Mingming, the deputy director in charge of finance and personnel, to Zhonghai at the meeting. Xiaoli found Tang Mingming's side through the leadership of their personnel department.
Tang Mingliang originally thought that the errand assigned to the secretary was not easy to do, but when he saw that these two young people actually took the initiative to come to the door, and they had such great courage, they wanted to be laid off to start a business, and the guest house of the contracting factory was simply sleepy and sent pillows, so they were naturally welcome.
After Guan Liangyi heard this, he also came to Tang Mingming's office and proposed that since the employees of the factory took the initiative to lay off and contract the guest house, the factory should give preferential policies and support.
After some negotiations, the factory gave them the maximum preferential treatment, and proposed a contract fee of 30,000 yuan a year, less than 30,000 yuan, the contractor made up to the factory, and the factory did not take a penny for more than 30,000 yuan, and the contract period was five years. Moreover, the factory promised that after the expiration of the contract, it would give priority to renewing the contract with them under the same underwriting conditions.
30,000 yuan seems to be a lot of money, but there are 20 standard rooms in the factory guest house alone, even if the external price of a standard room is 50 yuan / room, even if the occupancy rate is only 30%, the gross profit is 10,000 yuan a month. Although the hotel also has daily expenses for external operations, the contract fee of 30,000 yuan a year is already very cost-effective.
In the words of Xiaoli's brother-in-law, if they can't make money at this price, they can only say that they are unlucky!
After listening to it, Lu Yuan also thought that Brother-in-law De Xiaoli was right, the factory offered this kind of condition, in addition to supporting laid-off workers to start a business, or taking care of the children of the factory!
A guest house with 20 standard rooms, only 30,000 yuan a year for the contracting fee, is really half free and half contracted!
Moreover, listening to Ermao, the factory also promised to arrange foreign customers, guests of brother units, and superior leaders to stay in the future, all of which are paid accommodation, and all go to the outside 60% of the negotiated price. Although it is a negotiated price, it at least guarantees a certain number of customers every year.
Such a large cotton factory, of course, is not looking at the annual contract fee of 30,000 yuan, the factory contracted out the guest house, the most important thing is to cut off the factory guest house, which only pays for the burden of money, but also solves the problem of accommodation for customers and leaders to come to the factory in the future, which is perfect.
……
"Okay, silently, you kid and Xiaoli actually released a big satellite! Brother Hui invites you and Xiaoli to dinner and celebrate for the two of you! ”
Lu Yuan has a better place to go for Ermao, of course he is happy for him, does he really run errands for Zheng Yiming for the rest of his life? Not necessarily a good thing. What if Zheng Yiming is bad one day? A temporary worker like Ermao, who has no education and no skills, and replaces his father at work, will also be on the laid-off list sooner or later.
Now he and Sister Xiaoli's brother-in-law have contracted the factory guest house and built a hotel, which may be a broad road.
"It's time for the two of us to invite Brother Yuan to dinner."
Ermao said with a smile: "In order to take care of our young people, the factory does not need us to pay the five-year contract fee at once, and we are allowed to pay it once a year." Now we have signed the contract of intent with the factory, and the deposit has been paid. It is estimated that after completing the entire formalities, it will be a matter of the Spring Festival. ”
"So our three cotton factories are still quite humane."
Lu Yuan heard Ermao say this, and felt that the factory was really interesting, and if he wanted another place, maybe it would be more serious, and he would ask for a five-year contract fee at a time.
If this is the case, with the family economic situation of Xiaoli and Ermao's family, even if there is a partnership between Xiaoli's sister and brother-in-law's family, they may not be able to make up enough for the contract fee of five years and 150,000 yuan.
Ermao nodded and said: "Well, this time Xiaoli and I really took advantage of the laid-off workers to start a business and run a factory." ”
Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does your brother know about this?" ”
"Got it," Ermao said with a wry smile, "For the contract fee of 30,000 yuan a year, Xiaoli and I have to pay 15,000, and I also borrowed 5,000 yuan from my brother." These days, he's clamoring for a stake in our hotel. However, Xiaoli's sister and brother-in-law disagreed! ”
"Flutter!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing, laughed out loud, and said happily: "Your brother is really a fly that doesn't bite an egg, where there is money to earn, he will pounce." ”
Ermao said: "He still blames me for not thinking about him first, but partnering with outsiders like Xiaoli's sister and brother-in-law." ”
"Xiaoli's sister and brother-in-law, can that be an outsider?"
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Besides, if you don't ask for the guidance and advice of Xiaoli's brother-in-law, you and Xiaoli can do this business?" Your brother is pure envy, jealousy and hatred, and looks at others. Don't bother with him, he has several deals in his hands now, what can he do when he buys shares? A dry hotel is not a drinking business, it is also a hard business! ”
"Well, my dad scolded him a few days ago, be honest, don't worry about the hotel!" Ermao nodded.
At this time, Lu Yuan's mobile phone rang.
It was Zheng Yiming who called.
"Hey, Director!"
Lu Yuan hurriedly picked it up.
Zheng Yiming shouted in his mobile phone: "Where did you kid go?" Hurry up, I'm waiting for you in the sales department, hurry up, everyone in the sales department is here, just wait for you, the deputy section chief! ”
"Okay, I'll be there soon!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan hung up his phone.
"Ermao, it's a good thing for you, brother has to congratulate you! Another day, I'll call your brother, you call Xiaoli, and your brother and I will celebrate for the two of you! ”
Ermao also heard Zheng Yiming shouting Lu Yuan on his mobile phone, and hurriedly pushed: "I'm not busy with eating, I still have some days in our department, so I don't leave so quickly." Brother Yuan, you should get busy first. ”
"Okay, let's go back and make an appointment!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan ran out of the conference room and trotted straight to the sales department.
