This group management meeting was chaired by Li Tongfu, who first welcomed Uncle Han's arrival, and then reported the business overview of various companies under the group. While listening to the report, Yang Liufang recorded some key data: the furniture factory's net profit in the past eight months was negative 3.632 million; the tannery's net profit was 1.3739 million, but all of it was accounts receivable; the supply and marketing cooperative's profit was negative 673,000; the industry and trade The company's net profit was negative 632,000; the canteen was basically the same; the after-sales service center was negative 63,200; the technical department was negative 4.36 million, which was the amount for purchasing and installing new lathes; the transportation team was negative 732,000, not counting vehicle damage. If the accounts receivable of the tannery factory are included, the group company's profit income is more than 12 million yuan, not counting employee welfare insurance and so on. The overall revenue figures are dismal.
"What will happen to Xi Qia?" Yang Liufang asked casually while looking down at the data.
"This year's net revenue of the Western Conference is 6.3372 million. The revenue data of each company mentioned above is based on the balance of the contracts of the Western Conference." Yanhua replied.
"oh."
"However, this year's Western Conference was not good overall, and the government did not report on it."
"Yes. Colleagues, the situation is serious. Next, let's discuss the topic of today's meeting, whether we need to take over the agricultural supply and marketing cooperative's land."
"Why take over this situation?"
"We have already shouldered half of the responsibility, and we have also given an explanation to the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperatives." Wang Shan said.
"Manager Chen, you are familiar with the market. Please tell me."
"I also recommend not taking over. The situation here is also quite serious. Some merchants are converting shops at low prices because there is no revenue. Everyone is not sure when the economy will improve in the future. Some people joked, 'These tens of thousands of yuan in rent are a waste of money. There is still a sound in there." Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, and Mr. Yanhua, I would like to ask if the group can provide some relief policies to merchants to help everyone tide over this difficult time." After hearing what Lao Chen said, everyone looked at them. Three people.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, what do you think?"
"To add insult to injury."
"Manager Chen, do you have any good reduction plans? Manager Yinhua, please tell me too."
"I suggest that the management fees and sanitation fees be waived first."
"Can you give everyone some meal supplements?"
"This isn't appropriate, isn't it? The supply and marketing cooperative gave it to me. Where's the canteen in the factory down below?" the master chef interjected.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Yanhua, what do you think?"
"I agree with Manager Chen's plan. Let's waive the sanitation fee and management fee first. We also have our own store. When the economic situation improves, we can bring it back. Everyone can understand."
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, I suggest giving everyone some free electricity quota. This will reduce some of the burden."
"Well, how much exactly? Do you have any data?"
"Manager Chen, Manager Yinhua, based on the actual situation, what do you think is appropriate?"
“Let’s keep it at 100 degrees per store every month.”
"Okay, I agree. Please inform all stores. Mr. Yanhua, you can also apply to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if you can get the corresponding electricity bill reduction."
"Don't notify verbally, print the notice and post it. We should be courteous to the supply and marketing cooperative before fighting. If it doesn't work, we will bear it ourselves. After all, the monthly electricity bill will cost the group company more than 300,000 yuan." Li Tongfu thought more carefully.
"Well, let me tell you what I think. Let's take a look. Clothing, food, housing and transportation are industries of people's livelihood. Everyone has to eat. I was chatting with our lady a few days ago, and she said something that I thought was quite interesting. Nowadays, there is overcapacity. Mainly This is reflected in building materials companies such as steel bars, cement, concrete, and aluminum alloys, including us. According to her, ordinary people cannot buy these things to eat. But vegetables and food are different. If you don’t eat them for one day, you will feel hungry, and if you don’t eat them for three days, you will feel hungry. We will get sick and may starve to death. Now it seems that we will lose money by taking down the agricultural center, but in the long run we will still make money. Uncle Han, how is your vegetable farmer's income now?"
"Other people don't know it, but the price of vegetables has dropped slightly now, but there is still income."
"Well, the economy is in trouble, so everyone still needs to eat." Qin Jiajun livened up the atmosphere again with one sentence.
"Mr. Li, Yanhua, please talk to Chengbei and try to get some discounts during the economic difficulties. When we need to communicate with President Li, we can communicate with each other. Is there anything else that needs to be discussed and determined at the meeting?"
"Gone."
"Gone."......
"That's it. To borrow a phrase from Manager Qin, if the economy is difficult, you still have to eat. If you eat, you will charge it to my account." Everyone broke up and went 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 and his wife, but when he answered, it was his junior sister Liu Xia.
"Brother, I'm going to England to study for graduate school."
"When did it happen?" Yang Liufang was shocked when he heard this.
"For those who applied in June, the notification letter has been sent."
"Master and Master, do you agree? Why did you girl have such an idea and didn't tell us beforehand?"
"I told my sister-in-law that you are busy. I heard from my sister-in-law that your group is not having a good time this year."
"Don't worry about this for now. How much money do you need? I'll ask my brother to wire it to you. Oh, by the way, you want US dollars."
"Damn, you idiot, Britain spends pounds. Besides, brother, no need, I got a full scholarship."
"No matter how much you pay for food and clothing, you still need money. Don't worry about it. We have a group meeting in the morning. After lunch, I will ask Brother Fu to exchange pounds for you. Take care of yourself outside alone. He is by my side, You also talk to him." He handed the big brother over. After hearing this, Li Tongfu hurriedly took the phone.
"Little sister, congratulations to you..."
Li Tongfu and Liu Xia chatted for a long time until Big Brother ran out of power and shut down. He went to handle the remittance in exchange for pounds without any problem.
As the economic situation becomes increasingly 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 and Taiwan Economic News broadcast a news: After the Northwest Provincial Planning Commission applied to the National Planning Commission, the Longzongshan border port in Northwest Province was opened. This is also the only China-Mongolia land border port in Northwest Province. port. At the national level, it is a measure to break the economic blockade led by the United States. For Liufang Industrial Group Co., Ltd., the only good thing is that it can import leather from Mongolia in bulk through the port in the future, ensuring the supply of raw materials for tanneries. Even if the price is the same as the leather from Xinjiang Yili currently used in the factory, it can save thousands of kilometers of freight.
In terms of stimulating domestic demand, the section of the airport expressway leading to the economic development zone has entered the construction phase after the foundation stone was laid, and the construction of the government office building in the development zone is also on the agenda. Yang Liufang obtained the news through various channels that bidding will be launched for construction companies across the province in mid-October. The Development Zone Management Committee also consulted the district and city people's congress representatives for their opinions on the district government's construction plan. The total investment in the project is 30.73 million, including a government office building, an economic development zone park, and a citizen activity square. In the simple conference room that was originally owned by the Hanwangchuan Town Government and is now the Economic Development Zone Management Committee, Yang Liufang and 63 representatives of the district's National People's Congress voted on the plan by a show of hands.
In the second half of the year, after several rounds of communication with the person in charge of Chengbei Society, Li Tongfu and Yanhua finally reached an agreement on the leasing of the agricultural center. Liufang Industrial Group rented the remaining 96 stalls in the agricultural center based on the original rental price of 100 stalls. The management rights and subsequent leasing rights of the remaining four units of the potato processing plant and lily processing plant were also transferred to Liufang Industrial Group. In fact, the rental price is traceable, and it is easy to negotiate. The main dispute between the two parties is the reduction or exemption.
The agriculture-related center has 3,000 square meters of space, and the General Supply and Marketing Cooperative has invested 1.5 million yuan in the reconstruction and expansion. If the rent is reduced or reduced, it means the loss of state-owned assets. Because the renovation had been completed, and there could not be a renovation period like the previous glasses city, the two sides engaged in multiple rounds of tug-of-war. This kind of problem can be solved by just a phone call from President Li to Yang Liufang, but as the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Commerce, President Li is certainly aware of the economic situation. Take this year's Western Business Fair as an example, the investment rate is less than one-third. The contract signing rate is even lower, with more than 100 exhibitors, and the overall contract value is less than 30 million, which is completely different from previous years. He also knew the current situation of Liufang Industrial Group. He could not force his friends to make things difficult, but he could not cause the loss of state-owned assets. He could only let President Chengbei and Li Tongfu Yanhua communicate with them. In the end, both parties gave in and the agriculture-related center was put into trial operation for half a year. During the trial operation, the electricity bill was borne by the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
The signing ceremony was held on September 23. This was the first time Yang Liufang participated in such a formal event this year. Leaders from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Commerce, and the General Supply and Marketing Cooperative attended the event and delivered speeches. Yang Liufang and Uncle Han delivered speeches on behalf of the tenant management and merchant representatives respectively. Finally, under the witness of Directors Li and Yang Liufang of the General Supply and Marketing Cooperative and various media, Director Chengbei and Li Tongfu signed a lease agreement with Liufang Industrial Group on behalf of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Finally, a group photo was taken.
The grand signing ceremony ended, and the group company also urgently started 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 mobilize the group's elite personnel to form an investment promotion team. Although the three people tried their best, after more than ten days of hard work, they achieved little results. Just before the opening, more than 20 businesses selling agricultural products were attracted.
Having more than 60 vacant shops is by no means a good sign for a market, but the opening is imminent. If Uncle Han is allowed to hire people to sell at the food stall, he will not only cause greater losses, but also make himself laugh internally. He had no choice but to transfer Shi Yong and several carpenters from the furniture factory to gather the rented shops with partitions and fences. Then he surrounded the vacant shops with fences and put up huge colorful posters with the words "Decoration" in capital letters. , please stay tuned..."
