Chapter 169: To each his own
Mayor Huang of Yuanshui Town has been very careful and has no problem handing over the management of the cooperative project to Changda Group, but she has doubts about the transparency of the project's operation.
Guan Yuntian's articles of association are the basis for the operation and management of all joint ventures, and they are also the code of conduct for all parties involved.
"Mr. Guan, who will draft this charter?" asked Mayor Huang.
"Changda Group has expertise in this area, we can draft it on our behalf, and then let the three parties look at it, put forward amendments, and finalize the draft, which can only become an official document after being signed by all parties involved. If a few leaders have better drafters, then ask you to do it for you. "Guan Yuntian said.
Deputy county magistrate Liu took over the conversation, "Drafting the articles of association of the enterprise is the next step, you can put it aside for the time being, there are more important matters to discuss today, I want to ask the two townships, since you have decided to participate in this project, how much do you plan to invest?"
"This ...... In cooperation with the Changda Group, the most we can do is to use land as a shareholding asset, and we have nothing in terms of funds. ”
"If you buy shares at the lease price of the land in the factory area, your proportion is too small! In the future, you will only get a small head in profit distribution, do you think it makes sense?"
"But County Magistrate Liu, apart from land, we can't get anything valuable!" The township leaders looked helpless.
"Let's use our brains and see if we can come up with something else. Changda Group invested in hundreds of millions of projects are their own independent commitment, just such a small project, they can invest independently, Mr. Guan proposed to cooperate with you, the main purpose is to meet your needs, not only to increase the economic income of the two towns of Yuanshui and Linshan, but also to make their scraps get comprehensive utilization, and truly do their own place. If all of them are invested by the Changda Group, the share of townships and towns will be too small, and won't it lose its original significance?" In order to increase the income of these two townships, Deputy County Magistrate Liu really put a lot of effort into it.
"But what can we do?" the secretaries and mayors spread their hands, completely helpless.
"Let me give you an idea, you can think about the specific way, can you find an excuse to borrow a sum of money from the relevant functional departments of the county?" reminded Deputy County Magistrate Liu.
"That's a good idea, but what's the excuse? Also, how much money do we need to invest in a comprehensive utilization project?
Guan Yuntian interjected: "The fixed assets such as equipment and public facilities of the comprehensive utilization project are added together, about two million is enough, and the biggest advantage of this project is that it does not use much working capital, three or five hundred thousand, you don't have to worry about it, and this working capital is completely solved by Changda Group." ”
"That's great! Otherwise, liquidity is a problem. As for the appropriate amount of capital to be contributed by the townships, I suggest that each of the three parties take one-third, I don't know what you think. In addition, what excuse to ask the county functional departments for money is your business, so there is no need to discuss it here. Deputy county magistrate Liu said.
The secretaries and mayors nodded in agreement with Deputy County Magistrate Liu's statement, and Secretary Chen of Yuanshui Town seemed to remember something, "Mr. Guan, you said that the product is digested within Changda Group, and you don't have to worry about future sales, and the sales collection should not be a problem, right?"
"Please rest assured that Changda Group purchases tens of billions of yuan of raw materials from outside every year, and we have never defaulted on payment to any supplier. We can
In the articles of association or cooperation agreement, indicate the financial settlement time of each month or quarter, and all the personnel of the three parties will be present to supervise the funds and payments. Guan Yuntian responded.
"Several, it is your luck to cooperate with Changda Group, because they have always paid attention to fairness and transparency. Now, the three of you have reached a cooperation intention, and my matchmaking task has been completed, and the future has nothing to do with me, you can discuss it yourself. "For the grassroots and enterprises, Deputy County Magistrate Liu is always enthusiastic.
"County Magistrate Liu, you introduced Changda Group into the northern mountainous areas to do agricultural projects, so that the mountain villagers have hope to get rid of poverty, and now it has contributed to the cooperation of Changda Group with us, to change the economic situation of the township grassroots, although the task of matchmaking is completed, but we hope that you will not let go, after the completion of the project, we will ask you to cut the ribbon." Several township leaders said very seriously.
"Let's talk about it then, you should hurry up and agree on the details of cooperation, in addition, after the matter is settled, how to ask the county functional departments for funds, it is also quite a head-scratching thing, the funds cannot be determined, everything is empty talk. Deputy county magistrate Liu advised.
"Liu County Magistrate said very well, since the intention of cooperation has been reached, we should seize the time to work, take advantage of this opportunity, let's first set these things: first, initialize the intention of cooperation, second, determine the drafting unit of the articles of association, third, clarify the tripartite contact person, fourth, determine the proportion of tripartite investment, fifth, determine the preparatory convener, sixth, determine the future management institutional framework. Only when these things are clear can the cooperation project move forward. "Guan Yuntian said.
"According to the meaning of Mr. Guan, let's implement the next item. The four township leaders said.
"First, I asked the secretary of the group office to draft a cooperation intention, which is estimated to be about the same in more than ten minutes, and then let everyone look at it, and sign it after revision. Second, who will decide to draft the articles of association?
The township leaders don't seem to have a unified opinion on this matter, and of course Guan Yuntian doesn't need to take the initiative to take the matter on himself. That's right, several intermediary agencies in the county are professional units that draft such documents, but any service of the intermediary agency needs to pay a fee, and when it comes to spending money, several leaders are stunned.
"Let Mr. Guan do it for them, Changda Group is also very experienced in this regard. Mayor Huang still has a sentence to say, that is, Changda Group does not charge for drafting the articles of association and saves money.
On the premise of not spending money, the other three can only agree, Guan Yuntian said: "No matter who drafts it, after the document comes out, it needs to be reviewed by the three parties, and for any unreasonable place, the articles of association can only be finalized after being revised and agreed by the other two parties." ”
Guan Yuntian's words reassured the other two parties, it is safe and money-saving, and it can be fair and transparent, where can I find such a thing?
"At this stage, Changda Group is temporarily contacted by me, and after the basic framework is determined, I don't care, and when the time comes, someone else will contact you on behalf of Changda Group, who will represent your respective townships?" Guan Yuntian said.
Both Yuanshui and Linshan have their respective mayors come forward to liaise on behalf of their townships.
"Next, clarify the proportion of capital contribution, no matter which township the factory is built in, the land lease fee can be used as a share fund, according to the suggestion of the county magistrate Liu, each of our three accounts for one-third, according to the project investment of two million, the amount of capital contribution of the three parties is determined, you can prepare funds according to this amount, but the township where the site is located, you can deduct the land lease fee. ”
Yes, which township should the factory site be placed? This is a difficult problem faced by the two townships of Yuanshui and Linshan. There is no doubt that everyone is willing to build the factory on their own territory, but the reality can only choose one of the two, and the leaders of the two townships do not speak, in fact, they do not give in to each other.
Seeing that the situation had come to a standstill, Deputy County Magistrate Liu warned the four township leaders, "As the head of a first-level government agency, I think there should be a sense of the overall situation, and you should be considerate of each other in choosing the factory site, and everyone's goal is the same, that is, to do everything possible to facilitate the project." If you are not decided, I would like to suggest that whichever township has the strongest ability to raise funds should take the initiative to make concessions. ”
"County Magistrate Liu, why did the townships and towns with strong ability to raise funds take the initiative to give in? Doesn't this mean that the stronger the ability, the more they will suffer?" Some people did not understand.
"Didn't I ask you to have a big picture? Our ultimate goal is to facilitate the project, and the townships that have less ability to raise funds can use the land lease fee as part of the investment, so that the speed of the project can be accelerated. Since we come together for the same goal, only mutual understanding can we work hard in the same direction, which cannot be equated with whether we suffer a loss or not. Deputy County Magistrate Liu said earnestly.
"Okay, let's discuss it further afterwards, and now move on to another topic. ”
Guan Yuntian took over the topic, "Yes, the matter between the townships and towns, you will discuss it specifically after the meeting, and then determine the convener of the project preparation." ”
"Needless to say, the convener of the project preparation is of course Mr. Guan, because none of us on either side knows how to run the preparation and construction process of a project. ”
"To be honest, even if you all agree, I can only get started, I'll get out when I've set up a fight, and I'll appoint someone else to take care of this matter, because there are still a lot of things that I need to deal with in the whole group of companies. ”
"Mr. Guan, can you imagine the management model of this cooperative enterprise?"
"This is the last thing to be agreed on today, I made a preliminary idea, of course the enterprise is a joint-stock system, and intends to implement the general manager responsibility system, because there are three shares in total, and the company is not big, in order to improve efficiency, don't engage in any board of directors, the three shares are the same size, there is something to sit down and negotiate, what do you think of this model?" Guan Yuntian said.
The leaders of the two townships exchanged their views, and Secretary Chen of Yuanshui Township said: "This model is very good, but I would also like to make a suggestion, as far as our two townships are concerned, no matter whose site the factory is built on, the township with more capital should have more management personnel stationed in the enterprise." ”
"I agree with this suggestion, in addition, Changda Group only has a manager and a workshop director, and the rest of the management personnel, such as finance, cashier, safekeeping, office, logistics and daily management, etc., are all sent by the two townships of Yuanshui and Linshan. However, it should be emphasized that no matter which township sends a person, no matter what kind of work he used to do, as long as he comes to the enterprise, he must obey the unified leadership of the manager. Otherwise, the factories will not be able to function in each other's ways. Guan Yuntian outlined the future management framework.
The question raised by Mr. Guan hopes that the two townships will emphasize that no matter who comes to work here, they are employees of the factory and must abide by the rules and regulations of the factory. Deputy County Magistrate Liu interjected.
"If the leaders have nothing else to do, before the end of the meeting, I would like to remind you that the matter of funds should be implemented as soon as possible, time waits for no one, maybe the township can afford to wait, but we can't afford to wait. ”
