Cao Zhiqiang's words undoubtedly hit the weak spots of Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li, but compared to these two people, Chen Jiabang, who had been silent, his eyes moved slightly.
Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li are both old and about to retire, but Chen Jiabang is not.
Chen Jiabang is only in his forties, a time when there are seniors and juniors, and he is still striving for progress in his prime.
If there is still a red light factory, then Chen Jiabang's many years of contacts and so on will still be useful, but if the factory disappears, he will be completely out of luck.
"I think what President Cao said makes sense." Chen Jiabang said suddenly, "The Hongguang Factory has been established for so long, which has served the country and benefited the people. Although times have changed, we must obey orders and follow the changes, but it does not mean that we must be thorough. Abolish the Hongguang Factory.
In addition, even if we put aside these righteousnesses and talk about practical benefits, what President Cao said is very good.
If there is no skin left, how can the hair be attached?
If the Hongguang Factory disappears, who dares to say that these industries that President Cao has developed can still remain in the hands of President Cao?
Once these properties of President Cao are taken away, President Cao himself doesn't really care. He is already rich enough. At worst, he can resign and go to the sea, go to the south, or even go abroad to develop.
After all, President Cao himself is talented and capable, and he can stand out wherever he goes.
But we are different, two leaders!
We don’t have President Cao’s great talents and strategies, nor do we have his full talent. We just follow President Cao to earn a living.
To be more precise, we are making a living by following the business established by President Cao.
If President Cao's property is taken away, we people will have no way out at all. We will definitely be treated like weeds on the roadside like in the past, without even looking at it. At most, we will be given a salary and hang on, living in confusion. "
Speaking of this, Chen Jiabang took a deep breath and said: "The two leaders are about to retire, but I and those who work with me will continue to work. Even if the two leaders don't think about their own future, they should think about it for us." ?”
After listening to Chen Jiabang's words, Factory Director Li sighed and said: "Xiao Chen, I don't know your worries, and why don't I want to keep the factory? After all, in terms of feelings for this factory, I am much stronger than you.
But the problem is, we can’t have the final say on these things.
What I mean is that I can still have the final say on things in the Hongguang Factory because I am on the last shift.
But once the rectification started, neither I nor Secretary Dong could speak. It all had to be decided by the leaders above.
In other words, we are taking advantage of this opportunity to quickly release the assets that can be used by Hongguang Factory and give them to Xiao Cao. With Xiao Cao's character and ability, you will at least have a place to stay in the future.
But if you choose to continue to keep the Hongguang Factory as a sign, if the leaders from above come and ask for a new factory director to pick peaches and demand to take over everything from the joint venture factory, wouldn't your work be in vain? "
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiabang frowned, but nodded in recognition.
Indeed, if we really participate in a joint venture project with Japan in the name of Hongguang Machinery Factory, it will be even more troublesome.
Because Hongguang Machinery Factory must listen to the instructions of the leaders above, if the above sends a new factory director to pick peaches, then the hard work of Cao Zhiqiang and others will really be in vain.
In other words, although the Hongguang Factory has a good brand name, it cannot be carried by the small bodies of Cao Zhiqiang and others.
Since we can't afford it, it's better to sell the high-quality assets that can be sold as soon as possible while Director Li can still make the decision, and in the name of setting up a joint venture, we can turn public property into private property.
Of course, it is not correct to say private property. After all, Factory Director Li only leased the land on the eastern outskirts to Cao Zhiqiang personally, or contracted it to him personally, which does not mean selling it to him.
But no matter what, the lease term for forty years is enough for Cao Zhiqiang to make a lot of money.
Moreover, once Cao Zhiqiang uses this contracted land to set up a joint venture factory, and with the big leader Uncle Xu acting as Cao Zhiqiang's back-up, generally speaking, even if the city government knows about this situation, it will not be too difficult for Cao Zhiqiang.
Of course, Director Li was not selfish in giving Cao Zhiqiang such great benefits.
For selfish reasons, he must be taking some benefits from Cao Zhiqiang privately, but this cannot be said openly.
The second selfish intention is to arrange for the old people who follow Factory Director Li, such as Chen Jiabang, to join the new joint venture factory. With Cao Zhiqiang here, I believe these people will not be treated badly.
As for subsequent troubles, Director Li has retired and is no longer afraid of those troubles. After all, the current rule is that as long as there are no major violations of laws and disciplines, there will be no accountability after retirement, unlike thirty years later.
Therefore, Director Li actually took the risk when it came to subletting the Dongjiao factory to Cao Zhiqiang personally, but he was willing to take the risk, not only for himself, but also for the sake of some of the young people he valued in the factory. For the sake of people, I hope to give them a good way out.
"Let's do this." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I'll go find the big boss and see if he can do something. If he can persuade the top leaders and agree that we can keep the Hongguang Factory's brand name and have autonomy, then Is it okay?"
"Of course that's the best." Secretary Dong nodded, "But it's unlikely. After all, the big leaders have retired. If we trouble him now, wouldn't it make things difficult for him?"
"I have to give it a try." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "Maybe the old leader doesn't want the Hongguang Factory to close down completely and disappear completely."
Director Li thought for a moment, then decisively put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then raised his head and said, "Well, I'll give you three days to talk to the old leader.
If the old leader agrees with your approach and allows Hongguang Factory to retain its brand name and contract it to you as a state-owned enterprise for personal operation, then there will be no problem.
But if the old leader can't give a clear answer, then you should follow my method. We will rent everything we can rent to you and transfer all the people we can use to you.
In this way, even if Hongguang Factory is gone, at least the backbone and foundation are still there, and it can be reborn in your hands. "
Speaking of this, Director Li sighed and said: "Xiao Cao, we are old and can no longer make a breakthrough, but you are still young, enterprising and capable. I believe that once the factory is handed over to you, you will definitely make the factory better." Resurrection from the dead, I believe in you.”
Upon hearing what Director Li said, Cao Zhiqiang immediately smiled and said: "It doesn't take three days, at most two days, and I will give you the news."
After a pause, Cao Zhiqiang said: "In this case, I will go to the big leader and report the situation to him. If he can help and dares to vouch for it, then this matter will be done as I say.
But if the big boss doesn’t dare to vouch for it and doesn’t want to help, then how about we follow Factory Director Li’s method? "
"I think it works!" Secretary Dong nodded, put out the cigarette butt, and then looked at Factory Manager Li and said, "Old Li, it's rare for Xiao Cao to be so enthusiastic, so let him give it a try. If he doesn't give it a try, he will Always unwilling to give in."
Director Li nodded, then suddenly looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said: "No, Xiao Cao, actually my method is the most beneficial to you.
Even the publishing houses, department stores, and film studios that you mentioned are not without other options.
For example, like your Huaxia Audio and Video Company, we can carry out a private joint-stock restructuring from public ownership to private ownership.
In this way, these units are your private property and do not need to be controlled by others at all. So why do you insist on keeping the Hongguang Factory sign? "
After listening to Factory Director Li's words, Cao Zhiqiang blinked and did not say that he was doing it for a longer-term goal, but deliberately said with a sigh on his face:
"It's very simple. Both my parents are employees of this factory. I grew up because of the support of Hongguang Factory.
Although my parents are no longer here, I am still working in this factory.
Our whole family has a close relationship with this factory, and I really don’t want this factory to disappear like this.
Can you understand that feeling? "
Upon hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li both sighed, and even Chen Jiabang silently lit up a new cigarette.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed!" Director Li suddenly said, "Xiao Cao, you really didn't disappoint me! In short, no matter what happens, I will fully support you, so you can do it boldly and don't have to be afraid of anything. !”
"Me too!" Secretary Dong nodded with a smile.
Cao Zhiqiang said with a moved face: "Don't worry, two leaders, I will go all out and try my best to save this factory!"
After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang bowed to the two leaders and left in a hurry.
Well, Cao Zhiqiang's previous statements and expressions were obviously all staged.
Because not to mention the former Cao Zhiqiang, at least the current Cao Zhiqiang who has traveled through time has no feelings for Hongguang Machinery Factory at all. He only regards Hongguang Machinery Factory as a cash cow, or a platform to achieve his goals. .
China is different from foreign countries. Even after the reform, control in many aspects is still very strict.
For example, in some key areas, it is impossible to allow private companies to participate, at least not currently.
Two thousand years later, perhaps private companies will be much more relaxed, but how old was Cao Zhiqiang at that time?
Cao Zhiqiang didn't have time to wait that long.
Furthermore, even two thousand years later, private companies will simply not be able to compete with state-owned enterprises, especially those centrally-owned enterprises.
Let’s not talk about the three barrels of oil and the three major communication companies, let’s talk about Baoli and Huarun. In terms of strength and power, how many private companies can compare?
Moreover, many shareholders and cadres of state-owned enterprises are kept confidential and do not participate in the Forbes rich list.
In short, in China, the real big companies must be state-owned enterprises.
Therefore, if you can control a state-owned enterprise, you can truly gain a foothold in the country.
In addition, taking control of a state-owned enterprise does not mean that Cao Zhiqiang cannot start other private enterprises. There is no conflict at all.
For example, units such as film studios and publishing houses can only follow the path of state-owned enterprises at present, and it is impossible to grant special privileges to Cao Zhiqiang personally.
On the contrary, it is audio-visual companies and department stores. In this case, we can also consider the issue of transforming into private enterprises.
In addition, in some sensitive industries, such as projects involving semiconductors, military weapons, large aircraft, etc., private companies are currently not allowed to enter these industries, but Cao Zhiqiang does not want to give up these.
At least Cao Zhiqiang believes that he can know the future direction and avoid many detours in these industries, and he can also use "Mist", his own fictitious organization, to continue to make money from the country, and then feed it back to the state-owned enterprises he controls. Carry out R&D and manufacturing of related projects.
The problem is that if Cao Zhiqiang himself cannot fully control a state-owned enterprise, he cannot guarantee that after his funds are transferred, it can be truly earmarked and implemented. After all, everyone knows the grassroots bureaucracy at this time.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang must own a company that is nominally a state-owned enterprise but is actually fully controlled by him to carry out the projects he wants to do.
At present, it seems that the biggest possibility is Hongguang Machinery Factory.
Hongguang Machinery Factory itself has a very high level and is an enterprise directly under the ministry.
According to this level calculation, the secretary of Hongguang Machinery Factory, that is, Secretary Dong, belongs to the department level, while Director Li belongs to the deputy department level.
This level seems inconspicuous in the capital, but if it falls to the local government, it will be a proper high-level cadre.
Therefore, if Cao Zhiqiang can get the Hongguang Machinery Factory sign, it will be the same as getting a unit number, which is of great significance.
At the same time, Hongguang Machinery Factory was born in the military industry, and later became a dual-use factory. It can produce both military and civilian products. Its business scope is particularly wide, which is very suitable for Cao Zhiqiang's grand plan.
Finally, Cao Zhiqiang is very familiar with the current leaders of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and he is also familiar with the next generation like Chen Jiabang. The two parties cooperate with each other tacitly, which makes it easier for him to control the company.
Not to mention, the publishing house, film studio and department store owned by Cao Zhiqiang are all sub-units of Hongguang Machinery Factory. They are covered by the sign of a state-owned enterprise and are very convenient in many places. But without this sign, it would be really difficult. If it becomes a private enterprise, it will be inconvenient in many places.
Of course, although there are many benefits, if Cao Zhiqiang does not have a trump card, he would not dare to keep the Hongguang Factory.
After all, as Director Li said, it is not Secretary Dong and Director Li who can decide whether to stay or leave the Hongguang Factory, but the higher-level leaders.
As for the leaders at the higher level, it is obvious that they do not intend to keep the Hongguang Factory and want to split it up.
In this case, unless a higher-level leader speaks, there is absolutely no room for change.
Yes, to put it bluntly, if you want to run the red light factory successfully, you still need to find people with greater energy to help and pressure it from top to bottom.
By coincidence, Cao Zhiqiang knew that there was someone who had greater power and energy than the people in the Metallurgical Department.
This person is of course not some retired Uncle Xu. He actually doesn’t have that much energy anymore, so he is just a cover.
The person Cao Zhiqiang really wants to persuade is actually Uncle Lin.
Regardless of Uncle Lin's rank, which is the same as the top leader of the Metallurgical Department, his real power and energy are much greater.
Therefore, if Uncle Lin, in his personal capacity, uses some special reasons to persuade the current head of the Ministry of Metallurgy, it probably won't be a big problem.
In other words, just retaining the brand name, organization and structure of the Hongguang Factory and actually leaving it to Cao Zhiqiang to run it is a trivial matter for someone like Uncle Lin, and there is no need to alarm the people above him. Uncle Lin You can do it yourself.
Of course, if you want to convince Uncle Lin, relying on friendship alone is useless. You must give him real benefits.
This benefit, of course, is not what benefit it can bring to him personally, but what benefit it can bring to the country.
By coincidence, Cao Zhiqiang now has what Uncle Lin wants most.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang is very confident in convincing Uncle Lin!
