The group management meeting was presided over by Li Tongfu, who first welcomed the arrival of Uncle Han, and then the various companies under the group reported the business overview. While listening to the report, Yang Liufang recorded some key data: the net profit of the furniture factory in the past eight months was negative 3.632 million yuan; the net profit of the tannery was 1.3739 million yuan, but all of it was accounts receivable; the profit of the supply and marketing cooperatives was negative 673,000 yuan; the net profit of the industry and trade company was negative 632,000 yuan; the canteen was basically flat; the after-sales service center was negative 63,200 yuan; the technical department was negative 4.36 million yuan, which was the purchase and installation of new lathes; and the transportation team was negative 732,000 yuan, not counting the car damage. If the accounts receivable of the tannery are included, the profit income of the group company is negative more than 12 million, not counting the employee welfare insurance. The overall revenue figures are dismal.

"How about the Western Fair?" Yang Liufang looked down at the data and asked casually.

"This year's net revenue of the Western Trade Fair is 6.3372 million, and the above-mentioned revenue data of various enterprises is to balance the contracts of the Western Trade Fair." Yanhua replied.

"Oh."

"However, this year's Western Trade Fair as a whole is not good, and the government has not made relevant reports."

"Hmm. Colleagues, the situation is grim. Next, we will discuss the theme of today's meeting, whether we need to take over the supply and marketing cooperatives, which are agriculture-related venues. ”

"What else is there to do in this situation?"

"That is, we have already borne half of it, and we have also explained to the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperatives." Wang Shan said.

"Manager Chen, you are familiar with the market, you can talk about it."

"I would also recommend not taking over. The situation on our side is also quite grim, some merchants are changing shops at low prices, because there is no revenue, everyone is not sure when the economy will improve in the future, and some people joke that 'these tens of thousands of rents are still heard in the water'. Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, Mr. Yanhua, I would like to ask for instructions to see if the group can give some reduction and exemption policies to merchants to help everyone tide over the difficulties. After listening to Lao Chen's speech, everyone looked at the three of them.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, what do you think?"

"To make matters worse."

"Manager Chen, do you have any good reduction plan? Yinhua manager, you can also talk about it. ”

"I propose to waive the management fee and the sanitation fee first."

"Can you give you some food supplements?"

"This is not suitable, the supply and marketing cooperatives gave it, what about the canteen in the factory below?" The master interjected.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Yanhua, what do you think?"

"I agree with Manager Chen's plan to waive the sanitation fee and management fee first. We have our own store, and everyone can understand it if the economic situation improves. ”

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, I suggest giving you some free electricity credits. This relieves some of the burden. ”

"Well, how much? Is there any data? ”

"Manager Chen, Manager Yinhua, according to the actual situation, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"100 degrees per store per month."

"Okay, I agree. Thank you very much and let each store know. Mr. Yanhua, you can also apply to the supply and marketing cooperatives to see if you can get the corresponding electricity fee reduction. ”

"Don't give a verbal notice, print the notice and post it, we will salute the supply and marketing cooperatives before the soldiers. If it doesn't work, we'll take it ourselves. After all, the group company will have to pay more than 300,000 yuan for the monthly electricity bill. Li Tongfu thought about it more carefully.

"Well, I'll tell you what I think, let's see. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, belongs to the people's livelihood industry, everyone always has to eat, a few days ago I chatted with our family, she said a word I think is very interesting, now overcapacity, mainly reflected in steel, cement, concrete, aluminum alloy these building materials enterprises, including us. According to her words, these things cannot be bought and eaten by ordinary people. Vegetables and food are different, if you don't eat for a day, you will be hungry and panic, and if you don't eat for three days, you will get sick and may starve to death. Now it seems that we will lose money by winning the agriculture-related center, but in the long run, we will still make money. Uncle Han, how is your income now? ”

"Others don't know that the price of vegetables has dropped slightly, but there is still income."

"Well, the economy is difficult, and I still have to eat when I see everyone." Qin Jiajun's words enlivened the atmosphere again.

"Mr. Li, Yanhua, talk to Chengbei, strive to get some preferential treatment during the difficult economic period, and then we will talk to each other when we need to communicate with President Li. What else do you need to discuss and decide at the meeting? ”

"It's gone."

"It's gone." ......

"That's it, to borrow a phrase from Manager Qin, the economy is in difficulty, and the rice still has to be eaten. Eat, put it on my account. "Everyone will go to the cafeteria to eat.

During the meal, Yang Liufang received a call from his home in Wenzhou, he thought it was his parents or his master's wife, but he didn't expect it to be his sister Liu Xia when he got through.

"Brother, I'm going to the UK for graduate school."

"When?" When Yang Liufang heard this, he was shocked.

"I applied in June, and the notice has been sent."

"Master, do you agree? Why did you think so much, you didn't tell us beforehand. ”

"I told my sister-in-law, you are busy, and I heard my sister-in-law say that your group is not having a good time this year."

"You don't care about this first, how much money do you need over there? I'll ask my brother to send it to you, oh, by the way, you want dollars. ”

"Dizzy, old hats, British spend pounds. Besides, brother, no, I got a full scholarship. ”

"No matter how full you are, you will need money for food and clothing. You don't care, we have a group meeting in the morning, and after lunch, I will ask Brother Fu to change pounds for you, and take care of yourself outside alone. He's there for me, and you talk to him too. Saying that, he handed the eldest brother over, and after Li Tongfu heard it, he hurriedly took the phone.

"Little sister, congratulations on your ......"

Li Tongfu and Liu Xia chatted for a long time until the big brother ran out of power and turned off. He went to handle the exchange of pounds and remittances.

As the economic situation becomes more and more severe, the country and the northwest province are doing everything possible to promote trade and stimulate domestic demand. Just a few days after the group held a management meeting, the provincial Taiwan Economic News broadcast a piece of news: After the Northwest Provincial Planning Commission applied to the State Planning Commission, the Longmanshan border port in Northwest Province was opened, which is also the only Sino-Mongolian land port in Northwest Province. At the national level, it is a measure to break the economic blockade led by the United States. For Liufang Industrial Group Company, the only good thing is that it can import leather from Mongolia in bulk through the port in the future, which ensures the supply of raw materials for the tannery. Even if it is at parity with the leather of Xinjiang Yili used in the factory now, it can save thousands of kilometers of freight.

In terms of stimulating domestic demand, after the foundation stone of the section of the airport expressway leading to the economic development zone, the construction stage has been fully entered, and the construction of the government office building in the development zone has also been put on the agenda. Yang Liufang obtained the news through a variety of channels that the bidding work for construction enterprises in the province was opened in mid-October. The management committee of the development zone also consulted the representatives of the district and municipal people's congress on the construction plan of the district government, with a total investment of 30.73 million yuan, including three projects: government office building, economic development zone park, and civic activity square. In the humble meeting room of the Hanwangchuan Town Government, which is now the management committee of the Economic Development Zone, Yang Liufang and 63 deputies from the district voted on the plan by a show of hands.

In the second half of the year, after many rounds of communication with the person in charge of the Chengbei Society, the lease of the agriculture-related center was finally negotiated. Liufang Industrial Group rented the remaining 96 booths in the agriculture-related center according to the original rental price of 100 booths. The management rights of the remaining four units of the potato processing plant and the lily processing plant, as well as the subsequent leasing authority, were also transferred to Liufang Industrial Group. In fact, there are traces of rental prices, but it is easy to discuss, and the main dispute between the two sides is the reduction and exemption.

The 3,000-square-meter site of the agriculture-related center, plus the reconstruction and expansion of the supply and marketing cooperative, has also invested 1.5 million, and if the rent is reduced or reduced, it means the loss of state-owned assets. Because the renovation has been completed, and the renovation period cannot be required like the previous glasses city, the two sides have conducted many rounds of tug-of-war. This kind of problem only needs President Li to make a phone call to Yang Liufang can be solved, but President Li, as the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Commerce, of course he knows the economic situation, take this year's Western Trade Fair as an example, the investment rate is less than one-third, the signing rate is even lower, more than 100 exhibitors, the overall contract amount is less than 30 million, and the previous years are very different. He also knows the current situation of Liufang Industrial Group, he can't force his friends, but he can't cause the loss of state-owned assets, so he can only let the president of Chengbei communicate with Li Tongfu Yanhua. In the end, the two sides gave a step, and the agriculture-related center carried out a half-year trial operation, and the electricity fee was borne by the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperatives during the trial operation.

The signing ceremony was held on September 23, which was the first time that Yang Liufang participated in such a formal event this year. The leaders of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Commerce, and the Supply and Marketing Cooperatives attended the event and delivered speeches, and Yang Liufang and Uncle Han delivered speeches on behalf of the tenant management and merchant representatives respectively. Finally, under the witness of Director Li and Yang Liufang of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, as well as various media, the Director of Chengbei Society and Li Tongfu signed the lease agreement on behalf of the Supply and Marketing Cooperatives and Liufang Industrial Group. Finally, a group photo was taken.

The grand signing ceremony ended, and the group company also urgently started the investment promotion work. Yang Liufang named the agriculture-related center "Chengbei Vegetable and Non-staple Food Wholesale Center". Wang Shan, Lao Chen, and Uncle Han were also asked to take the lead, and the group's capable personnel were dispatched to form an investment promotion team. Although the three of them tried their best, after more than 10 days of hard work, little success, and more than 20 merchants selling agricultural products were recruited before the opening was approaching.

More than 60 vacant shops are by no means a good phenomenon for a market, but if Uncle Han is about to open his own stall and hire people to sell the stalls, it will not only cause greater losses, but also make himself laugh inside. In desperation, he had to transfer Shi Yong and a few carpenters from the furniture factory to concentrate the rented shops with partitions and fences, and then fence the vacant shops with fences and put up huge posters with colorful and colorful posters, which capitalized "Under renovation, please look forward to ......"
