Song Yuanchao has carefully considered this issue these days, and if he wants to change the south, he must change the substance, and this essence is what he and Lin Daoyuan said.

In fact, in addition to joint ventures, there is another way, and that is contracting.

The contract responsibility system was a very distinctive policy in the early days of reform and opening up, which first started in the rural areas and gradually developed to other regions and industries.

In the 80s and early 90s, there was a very vivid saying about the reform of enterprises, that is, "a change is a spirit, a package is a life".

Among them, the package refers to the contract, but this model still works in the early stage, because the market demand is huge, and the market is mostly a seller's market. But with the deepening of reform and opening up, countless enterprises have been born accordingly, and the market has gradually begun to enter a state of intensification, and it is inevitable to change from a seller's market to a buyer's market.

In addition, there is another problem, that is, the pursuit of profits by foreign capital, no matter how nice it sounds, the essence of capital is unchanged, and the purpose of foreign capital entering the Chinese market is nothing more than to pursue profits, and the vast domestic market with huge potential is what they most urgently need at present.

These are all things determined by the nature of capital, and Song Yuanchao and Lin Daoyuan have carefully discussed the situation in this regard before, and also put forward some views and opinions.

It's not easy to find a balance between the two, and it's also not easy to look ahead and backward.

After weighing and considering, Song Yuanchao gave up the contract and chose a joint venture, which is also from the perspective of individuals and enterprises.

Lin Daoyuan also knew this in his heart, but he did not make a clear statement, but just told Song Yuanchao that he needed to think about this again, and then make a decision after arriving in Jinling and understanding the specific situation.

In a flash, it was time to leave, Song Yuanchao reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Yan and the child, and stepped on the train to return to the south under Lin Yan's equally reluctant advice.

This time I went back with Lin Daoyuan, accompanied by Lin Daoyuan's secretary Xiao Shao.

Originally, this time Lin Daoyuan planned to arrange a position for Xiao Shao in advance before going to the locality, Xiao Shao has been with Lin Daoyuan for many years, and his level has already reached the deputy department, and his work ability is very strong, and he is reliable, so it is not difficult to arrange a division-level position for him in the ministry or locality.

But Xiao Shao rejected Lin Daoyuan's arrangement, he told Lin Daoyuan that the old leader wanted to go to the place without his own people, so he was willing to continue to follow Lin Daoyuan to the place, and it was not too late to consider his work arrangement when he gained a firm foothold in the place.

For this reason, Lin Daoyuan agreed to his request after thinking about it, so he transferred Xiao Shao's relationship from the Planning Commission to the local government and took office with him.

The tickets for the three of them were bought together, and a soft sleeper was just right, and there were no other outsiders in this soft sleeper.

All the way to Jinling, the train arrived at the station, and Xiao Shao helped Lin Daoyuan carry his luggage out of the carriage, Song Yuanchao was stunned, because he saw a few people in Chinese tunics on the platform not far away, these people looked like they were cadres with extraordinary bearing.

When Lin Daoyuan got off the train after Song Yuanchao, the eyes of those people lit up at the same time, and they hurriedly walked over to this side.

"Secretary Lin?"

A middle-aged man who took the lead came to Lin Daoyuan and asked with seven points of enthusiasm.

"I'm Lin Daoyuan, are you ......?"

Lin Daoyuan's eyes looked at the person who came and asked.

"Secretary Lin, I'm Peng Jihua, the director of the General Office, you can just call me Xiao Peng, and I was appointed by Secretary Jiang to pick up your ...... with my comrades."

"Hello, Director Peng, hard work comrades." Lin Daoyuan smiled, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Peng Jihua, and then met with several comrades who came under Peng Jihua's introduction, and everyone said a few words.

"Secretary Lin, the car is over there, let's get in the car first, your accommodation, Secretary Jiang has already arranged a ...... for you." Looking in the direction of Peng Jihua's finger, Lin Daoyuan saw several cars parked not far from the platform, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

But soon Lin Daoyuan's brows relaxed, and he said to Peng Jihua that he was very grateful to Secretary Jiang for his arrangement, since he was ready, he would go to the place where he lived first, and after settling down, he would personally visit Secretary Jiang.

Saying that, everyone supported Lin Daoyuan and walked towards the car, Song Yuanchao didn't speak, and Xiao Shao followed with his luggage, and when he got to the car, Lin Daoyuan turned back to Song Yuanchao and said, "You go back to work first, and let Xiao Shao call you again when I settle down here." ”

Xiao Shao on the side smiled and nodded slightly to Song Yuanchao, Song Yuanchao understood what Lin Daoyuan meant and didn't say much, and left first after putting down his luggage.

"Secretary Lin, who was ...... just now?" Peng Jihua on the side initially thought that Song Yuanchao and Xiao Shao were Lin Daoyuan's secretaries or staff members, but what Lin Daoyuan said to Song Yuanchao just now made him a little puzzled, if it was a secretary or something, it stands to reason that he should go with Lin Daoyuan, why did he send people away like this? This young man is not ordinary in terms of dress or temperament, so who is this person?

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm a junior, and I'm here in Jinling this time." Lin Daoyuan didn't say anything about Song Yuanchao's identity, just explained simply, and then got into the car.

Several cars drove away directly, and Song Yuanchao looked at the cars in the distance and shook his head with a smile.

He and Lin Daoyuan came very low-key, and they didn't want to disturb the local comrades, but who would have thought that people would have figured out Lin Daoyuan's itinerary a long time ago, and they deliberately drove the car to the platform to pick up people.

It was an accident and a coincidence. However, Song Yuanchao didn't think much about it, after Lin Daoyuan and his party left, he left the station with his luggage and went straight to the unit.

"Song Factory, are you back?"

Taking the bus to the first branch factory, Yue Shan, who was patrolling the daily work of the doorman, saw Song Yuanchao and hurriedly opened the door, and quickly stepped forward to help take the luggage.

"Just got off the train." Song Yuanchao asked, "How is the situation in the factory these days?" ”

"Rest assured, everything is normal." Yue Shan said with a smile, but after saying that, he hesitated, looked left and right, approached Song Yuanchao and said: "But the day before yesterday, when the equipment was shipped, Deputy Director Xu went to take a look, and planned to let people take it apart to take a look, but was stopped by Lao She at that time, Lao She told him that these equipment are production equipment, not under his control, and no one is allowed to disassemble it without permission before the manufacturer's personnel come, and Deputy Director Xu is very unhappy that he can't get off ......the stage." ”

Song Yuanchao nodded and didn't say anything, just reached out and patted Yue Shan lightly on the shoulder. Yue Shan immediately understood what Song Yuanchao meant, and grinned.

When I got into the office, I saw She Liang drinking water when I entered the door, and when I heard the sound of the door opening, I turned around and saw that it was Song Yuanchao who was back, so I quickly put down the water cup and stepped forward to take the luggage from Yue Shan's hand and put it aside.

"Get busy, Lao Yue, thank you."

"Okay, I'll get busy first." Yue Shan agreed with a smile, and when he went out, he specially helped bring the door.

"Just got off the train? Why don't you go home and rest first? Walked to the side and found Song Yuanchao's cup and washed it, took the tea leaves and made him a cup of tea, and put the tea in front of Song Yuanchao She Liang asked with concern.

"It's not hard to sleep all night on the train, so don't worry about the factory to come and have a look first."

"How's the kid? How are your lover and children right? She Liang asked with concern.

As soon as he talked about the child, Song Yuanchao had a light in his eyes, and told She Liang with a smile that everything was fine, the big fat boy was very cute, and his wife was recovering well, but unfortunately the child was still too young, and he had to wait at least 100 days to take photos, so he didn't bring the photos of the children back this time.

In addition, it is inconvenient to bring things when you come back, so you have to get some things here to give away, such as happy eggs, which are really difficult to take when the road is bumpy.

Speaking of this, She Liang smiled and told Song Yuanchao that although he could rest assured, he had relatives in the suburbs, and he would personally run to help him get it after work, it was very common to get this in the countryside, and the craftsmanship was absolutely not to say, and the eggs laid by his own chickens were also fresh, and he would help him get it in two days at most.

Song Yuanchao was not polite when he heard it, so he handed over the matter to She Liang to do, and as for the cost, let She Liang ask and tell himself, and then settle it.

The two talked about the child for a while, and Song Yuanchao asked about the situation in the factory.

She Liang roughly reported the situation in the factory in the past few days, with the National Day after the overall sales began to gradually decrease, the sales company had to prepare in advance, in addition to the direct supply outlets in the urban area, last month also opened up the market in Jiangbei, so on the whole, the current local sales decline still maintain the original total.

However, this is temporary, as the weather gets colder, beverage sales will fall further, and there will be a small rebound at the end of the year, that is because of New Year's Day and the Spring Festival, but this rebound will not last long, and more importantly, since this month, the production of salt soda has been completely stopped, and the output of the factory has also begun to be released, according to the follow-up situation, there is no need to continue to produce three shifts.

"That's the case, I plan to start production next week and change from three shifts to two shifts, and maybe return to the normal day shift in the future." She Liang took the cigarette handed by Song Yuanchao and lit it and said: "Two days ago, Manager Sun came to the factory and I met with him, and he told me that although the sales company can continue to expand the direct supply point and replace the amount of each point with noodles, Manager Sun also said that the cost of doing so is too great, because it involves the problem of centralized distribution and decentralized distribution, once the amount of a single point is reduced to a certain extent, the cost will rise a lot, and the distribution personnel will not be able to keep up." ”

Listening to She Liang's narration, Song Yuanchao nodded slightly, these things he mentioned when he was in Yanjing, Sun Yaoliang called him, in view of the current market situation, Song Yuanchao also agreed with Sun Yaoliang's opinion, in the case of declining sales of a single outlet, it is not cost-effective to continue to open up new markets, and it is not cost-effective to make up for the decline in sales as a whole, and the biggest problem is distribution costs and manpower.

After all, there is no current city distribution at all, and Song Yuanchao let the sales company achieve a model similar to the city distribution in later generations to a limited extent, although this model has advantages, but also disadvantages. One of the biggest drawbacks is that there is no large base to support, so it can be maintained during the peak sales season, once the sales enter the season, the location of each outlet plus the single purchase volume and distribution cost will outweigh the losses.
