After Uncle Lin set the tone, things developed very smoothly.
Early the next morning after Cao Zhiqiang returned, he was called to the factory director's office by Director Li.
As a result, Cao Zhiqiang went to the factory director's office and found two strange men in Chinese tunic suits inside.
After asking both sides, they found out that one of the two people was the secretary-general and director of the general office of the Beijing City Government, and the other was a director of the general office of the Ministry of Metallurgy.
Just by listening to their job titles, one could tell that these two middle-aged men in Chinese tunic suits had a lot of background, and that was indeed the case.
The two parties exchanged pleasantries and sat down again, and then got down to business.
Sure enough, Director Wang from the municipal government and Director Li from the Ministry of Metallurgy both came to Cao Zhiqiang to discuss the rectification plan for Hongguang Machinery Factory.
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang felt reassured, so he quickly told what he had said to Uncle Lin.
However, compared to Uncle Lin's superior advice, these two cadres listened more seriously to Cao Zhiqiang's rectification plan, and asked more detailed and tricky questions.
This is not because they are deliberately making things difficult, but because they are checking for omissions.
Because the other party asked many questions, including many details that even Cao Zhiqiang had not thought of.
For example, the issue of emotional comfort for workers, the resettlement of workers’ residences after the demolition of the original factory dormitories, the payment of wages during re-employment, subsidies, etc., are all problems.
Of course, these are minor issues.
The real big question is whether Cao Zhiqiang can really attract investment and find a new place to work.
Chains of fast food restaurants and chain convenience kiosks are also okay, because the city government guarantees full support for these projects.
But the city government has no money, so it can only provide land and policies, and then ensure electricity, water and telephone, and achieve three connections.
But Cao Zhiqiang has to figure out the specific project investment funds himself.
In other words, if you want policies, there is no problem, but if you want money, there is no problem.
And even for the three links, Cao Zhiqiang would have to pay for it himself. At most, he would have to pay a cost fee, which was guaranteed to be cheaper than the market price, and he could do the project first and then pay later.
In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang promised that money would be no problem. He could spend RMB 3 million in advance, which would be enough to start these two projects.
Upon hearing this, Director Wang of the municipal government felt much more relaxed.
After all, as long as you have money, everything will be easy.
But the next questions are all really big questions.
For example, the problems of transportation companies and construction companies, which are large employers, are all big problems.
The establishment of the company itself is not a big problem. If the Hongguang Factory itself can be retained, then the transportation company and the construction company can be regarded as subsidiaries of the Hongguang Machinery Factory. No consent from the city government is required, only the approval from the Ministry of Metallurgy is required. , after all, it belongs to the industrial system.
Director Li of the Ministry of Metallurgy expressed full support for this, but again, if we want to carry out these projects, the Ministry of Metallurgy can only provide policies, but there is no money or equipment.
Regardless of whether it is a transportation company or a construction company, at present, it is not something you can just have, as these are high-investment projects.
For example, for a transportation company, if you want to do transportation, you must at least have trucks and other transportation vehicles. Trucks and trucks are in short supply now. Even if the Ministry of Metallurgy can give you an official approval slip to buy a car, so that you can buy it legitimately. Two more questions arise.
One question is where the money for the car comes from, and the other question is where the car is bought from.
The car purchase price is easy to say, Cao Zhiqiang can handle it himself, it is nothing more than throwing money.
But it is difficult to buy a car from the car manufacturer you need to buy a car.
Because the current domestic automobile production, whether cars or trucks, is in short supply, all are operating at full capacity, and all are planned production. Many cars have been booked in advance before they are produced.
If Cao Zhiqiang proposes to buy a car at the beginning or middle of this year, that's it. The Ministry of Metallurgy can find the manufacturer to even out some of the car purchase quotas.
But it's almost November now, and all domestic car manufacturers' quotas are fully booked, and it's impossible to have any extra balance unless some units don't want cars anymore.
But this is impossible, because even if some units cannot afford to buy a car due to financial constraints or other reasons, they can resell it to others. After all, the car purchase indicator itself is hard currency.
Of course, if it is some township enterprises in the south, it is easy to say that you can buy a wire carriage.
The problem is that the transportation company Cao Zhiqiang wants to build is a subsidiary of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and Hongguang Machinery Factory is a unit directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy, or a unit in the capital.
It is impossible for such a unit to purchase a wire carriage, which will only cause trouble.
Isn’t it okay to buy an imported car at a normal price increase?
Nope either.
Because if you buy an imported car from formal channels, you need to go through a lot of procedures.
It's easy to say in terms of foreign trade and economics, but the key is foreign exchange application.
Nowadays, the country has very strict foreign exchange management, and foreign exchange is needed everywhere. If you want to buy additional imported trucks, the person in charge of foreign exchange will definitely block the owner.
In the same situation as transportation companies, there are also construction companies.
A construction company does not just have ordinary construction workers, but also professional construction engineers and professional construction engineering equipment.
The engineer was very kind and could transfer it from other units.
But engineering equipment is not easy to get.
Like excavators, bulldozers, cranes, trucks, pile drivers, drills, concrete mixers, etc., these equipment are not easy to get, and they are not easy to buy in China.
Compared with these, raw materials such as cement, steel bars and asphalt are easier to solve, because the Ministry of Metallurgy can issue approval documents and transfer them from relevant units, but they still have to spend money to buy them.
The reason is very simple, that is, units such as cement and steel bars currently implement a dual-track system.
The Ministry of Metallurgy can't do anything about the planned production part, but for the unplanned part, the Metallurgical Ministry can give you an approval document, and you can buy it with the approval document, provided that you pay for the purchase yourself.
Anyway, there is only one word missing - money!
And this is not small money, it is big money, and it cannot be solved by just a few million RMB.
Let’s not talk about the construction company’s budget, let’s talk about the transportation company.
If you want to build a transportation company with 1,000 people, you will need 250 trucks based on four people per truck.
Based on the average cost of a truck of 20,000 yuan, it would cost 5 million RMB. This budget has exceeded all the assets that Cao Zhiqiang currently owns.
And this is still counting domestic cars. If it is an imported car, the price will at least double.
Of course, this refers to imported cars bought through normal channels. If it is a wire-cut imported car, it is cheaper because there is no need to pay taxes. But even for a wire-cut car, the budget required will not be less than five million RMB. .
This is only the purchase price of the car, not counting other things such as building warehouses and office buildings required by the transportation company.
Of course, if Hongguang Machinery Factory is retained, the transportation company can continue to use the original land and warehouse of Hongguang Machinery Factory, but the office building will also need to be rebuilt.
Generally speaking, if you want to open a transportation company that can provide employment for a thousand people, let alone the wages of employees, just talk about the initial investment in equipment, which requires a minimum of five million RMB. If other expenses are added, it will still be small. Ten million RMB is enough.
A construction company requires more people and more expensive equipment. According to the approximate budget given by the two leaders, it is impossible to start a business without 30 million.
On the contrary, it is about business projects and the market, which is easy to solve.
The Hongguang Factory is a department directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy. As long as the Ministry of Metallurgy is willing to give approval, the transportation company will not have to worry about being attacked by monsters along the way, and when necessary, it can provide reasonable and legal armed escort.
Yes, the Metallurgical Ministry during this period was so awesome that it could really provide internal armed escorts.
As for later, these armed escort tasks were all handed over to professionals, but that was not until the 1990s.
In the early 1980s, the Ministry of Metallurgy was a department with real power because it involved many core confidential departments, and a note was really useful.
Construction companies are no problem either.
Although the Ministry of Metallurgy does not have much control over urban construction, the Beijing Municipal Government is currently preparing to carry out large-scale urban construction. It already needs many construction companies and is short of manpower and equipment. It is even planning to transfer construction companies from other places to Beijing.
Therefore, if Cao Zhiqiang can really get enough construction equipment and construction machinery for five thousand construction workers, he will ensure that the rest, whether it is raw materials or engineering projects, will be enough, and he will not default on payments.
In other words, there is plenty of work and the raw materials are fine, but the only problem is the equipment.
Of course, compared to these issues, what concerned the two leaders the most was the tape joint venture.
The two leaders knew that the representatives sent by Japan, that is, representatives from Taiyo Yuden and Daito Investment Company, had come to Beijing, and they also knew the general situation of this joint venture project.
When they heard that Japan would provide equipment, technology and funds, we only needed to provide land and factories, and the management rights would still be with us. The products could not only be sold domestically, but could even be sold back to Japan. The two leaders were very happy and thought that this Buying and selling can be done.
Originally, Director Li of the Ministry of Metallurgy and Director Wang of the municipal government wanted to take over this project and let Cao Zhiqiang personally take more shares in it and reap more benefits.
However, after hearing that Cao Zhiqiang insisted on giving this project to Hongguang Machinery Factory, the matter was dropped.
The final discussion was that the joint venture tape factory project, that is, the Dongyang Tape Factory project, would be handed over to Hongguang Machinery Factory, which was regarded as a branch invested by Hongguang Machinery Factory.
The approximate shareholding ratio is 45% of Daito Investment Company and 30% of Taiyo Yuden Company. These cannot be moved or discussed.
What can be discussed is the 25% equity that originally belonged to China Audio and Video Company, as well as the company's management and control rights.
Since this project was negotiated personally by Cao Zhiqiang, he must be given some benefits.
So the final result of the negotiation was that the 25% of the shares that originally belonged to Huaxia Audio and Video Company were divided into two parts.
One share was given to Hongguang Machinery Factory. Hongguang Machinery Factory provided land, factory buildings and manpower, accounting for 15% of the shares.
Cao Zhiqiang personally contributed 1 million RMB and held 10% of the shares in a private form.
Then there is the name Dongyang Company. Several leaders don’t like it because it has a homophonic sound of Dongyang.
The word "Oriental" does not sound good in China at present, and it smells of Japanese devils.
Although this is indeed a Sino-Japanese joint venture, the fact that it is called Dongyang still makes people uncomfortable.
Finally, Director Li suggested that we simply call it "Chaoyang Electronics Co., Ltd."
When they heard the name, except Cao Zhiqiang who secretly complained, everyone else said it was good and said it meant vigorousness.
When Cao Zhiqiang saw that everyone agreed and quoted various scriptures, he didn't care and didn't complain.
After all, it’s just a name, so there’s no need to spoil everyone’s interest.
It's rare that there is something that allows these leaders to have the final say, so just let them do it.
Anyway, it is Dadong Investment Company that really has the final say on this project.
After all, this company wants to invest real money and provide the country with much-needed foreign exchange, and the technical side, Taiyo Yuden, is only willing to cooperate because Daito Investment Company is willing to give money and bear major risks.
Therefore, the core party of the entire joint venture project is Dadong Investment Company.
The real boss behind Dadong Investment Company is Cao Zhiqiang, so as long as he thinks there is no problem, there will be no problem.
However, since Dadong Investment Company was mentioned, Cao Zhiqiang simply suggested that since Dadong Investment Company intends to invest in our country, why not we turn the transportation company and construction company under Hongguang Machinery Factory into a joint venture, and then let Dadong Just invest in an investment company.
Once the transportation company and construction company receive investment from Dadong Company, not only will the capital problem be solved, but also the equipment problem will be solved. More importantly, this is a foreign investment, and all the money will be given is foreign exchange!
As long as the company is domestic and the control and management rights are in my hands, there is no problem in letting foreign companies make some money.
For example, Jianguo Hotel was also a joint venture. Didn't all the foreign shares be easily recovered later at the price of one dollar?
Therefore, for domestic enterprises, what they lack now is Dao Ling. They need as much as they have, and they are not afraid of giving more shares or less.
It doesn't matter even if foreign capital holds more shares. As long as the company is still in China, there are plenty of ways to manipulate you.
Of course, our country is not as shameless as the Indians. After attracting foreign investment, it will make foreign investors make money and repay the money truthfully. It is impossible to default on the debt.
What's more, transportation companies and construction companies are not considered sensitive industries, but they are all industries in urgent need of heavy capital investment.
Especially for construction companies, it would definitely be a great event if they could obtain a batch of advanced construction equipment imported from Japan and form a new construction company in the capital.
For local construction companies in the capital, it is much easier for the administrative departments of the capital to manage them, unlike construction companies that come in from other places and require all kinds of wrangling.
Of course, the Ministry of Metallurgy is also very happy, because Hongguang Machinery Factory was originally a subordinate unit of the ministry. If it can really take this opportunity to rise from the ashes, it will really start to shake up.
But the premise is that the Japanese Dadong Investment Company is willing to invest money, and it is not a small amount of money.
Cao Zhiqiang asked several leaders to relax, saying that since Dadong Investment Company is willing to spend a lot of money to invest in us and build a joint venture tape factory, there may be a deeper meaning behind it. There is a high probability that it is not a company, but other big bosses. What follows is a test of the waters.
If we can express our sincerity, I believe Dadong Investment Company will be happy to invest.
In particular, if we can reveal a little less important information, such as revealing that the Beijing City Government is preparing to carry out large-scale urban construction and have a large number of demolition and reconstruction projects, I believe Dadong Investment Company will be tempted.
Because others don't know, but Japanese personnel definitely know that when a city is expanding, it is the most profitable time.
As long as the Japanese side knows that once they invest in a construction company, they can get dividends from our city's construction, they will be happy.
The same goes for transportation companies. After all, cities need to be built, and the consumption of various building materials must be huge. All kinds of construction waste are also huge. Whether it is pulling construction materials or construction waste, transportation tools are needed, so transportation companies can also eat Dividends to Dajian.
In addition, our country has a vast geographical area, and the profits that large state-owned transport fleets can earn are equally considerable once they carry out medium and long-distance transportation.
As long as we sincerely present facts and reason, I believe Japan will definitely be interested. (End of chapter)
