National Tide 1980.

After learning the real inside story, Director Li was so angry that he just wanted to kill someone.

Damn, these moths don't do their business, they just think about how to poach the corners of socialism every day, I really want to shoot them.

But the problem is that this is a special situation bred by the current environment, and it is universal.

Let alone him, in fact, even the mayor can't control it.

Among other things, two days ago, the city government held a working meeting on the utilization of foreign capital.

The city leaders emphasized two points in this meeting, and the work instructions issued are:

First, the policy of attracting investment in Beijing has changed, and the investment environment should be improved as soon as possible to give more preferential treatment to foreign investors.

The second is to change the direction of attracting foreign investment, from focusing on non-production-oriented enterprises to focusing on production-oriented and foreign exchange-earning enterprises.

This is equivalent to saying that the work of attracting foreign investment ranks higher in the municipal government's work sequence, and has become an important criterion for considering the performance of relevant units at all levels.

This shows how eager the city government is for foreign investment.

It is really eager to "give up" what you have in your hands in exchange for funds, experience, technology, markets... political achievements.

This is a kind of helplessness, and it is also the inevitable pain of being too backward.

If you act too hastily and ask for too much, you will inevitably suffer losses.

But then again, if you don’t suffer a loss, and don’t let others take advantage of it, why should you let foreigners invest?
Relatively speaking, in fact, most of the backward areas of the country do not even have this kind of "disadvantage" opportunity, which is the real pain.

The same reason, under such a premise.

Although there are many chaotic situations in the specific operation process of attracting foreign capital, and even the tricks of the business, the national tax has suffered a lot of losses.

But for the overall situation of economic development, in order to get rid of poverty as soon as possible, and find a way to get rich.

Before there is no better solution, local governments can't give up because of choking.

Even out of fear of throwing rats away, we dare not care too much or interfere.

I can only tolerate these little fleas jumping around for the time being, and have to wait until later to make a list and calculate the general account.

All in all, this kind of thing is irritating, but no one has a particularly good way to completely prohibit it.

Otherwise, the country would not have hesitated repeatedly this year, repeatedly announcing that it would cancel foreign exchange coupons, but then daring to implement it.

After all, there are too many problems in the system, and it is impossible to solve them comprehensively all at once.

Is the old saying right? If you don’t raise fish in clear water ponds, you have to focus on the big and let go of the small to do things. It is right to solve the main contradiction first.

So I lost my temper in private, and waited until Director Li calmed down.

He also found that he had nothing to do with these companies, so he had to endure his anger for a while.

The current priority is actually to appease Ning Weimin first, don't let this benefactor run away, and then find a way to facilitate this matter.

In this way, in order to quell Ning Weimin's dissatisfaction, Director Li not only took the blame for several companies, but also put in good words for several companies.

I am very sorry to tell Ning Weimin that it is all due to my ignorance of the situation at the grassroots level and my lack of understanding of the stakes for this to happen.

These companies are eager for quick success and short-sighted, and should indeed be criticized.

But from a business point of view, there is also some compatibility.

Because this is all caused by the fact that companies were tied too harshly in the past.

Over the years, the profits of these enterprises in the Bureau of Light Industry have been fully handed over, and there is not even a small treasury.

Now even though they have let go of the business, the business is so poor that they are afraid, and naturally they are unable to resist the temptation to make quick money.

So, Director Li asked Ning Weimin not to be in a hurry, and asked him to give him a few days to do the ideological work of these enterprises.

Director Li believes that as long as he can truly understand the advanced nature of the trolley suitcase and see the broad market prospects of this product, these companies will definitely be willing to cooperate and will definitely make the trolley suitcase for Ning Weimin.

In fact, Director Li's explanation to Ning Weimin was superfluous.

On this kind of matter, Ning Weimin saw and understood far more clearly than Director Li.

If it is said that before he understands these corporate ideas, he still has certain fantasies.

I even wondered if the company saw me coming alone, so I didn't trust my company's strength?

Is it a bit low to ask for it yourself, can you add some OEM fees?
But when he truly understood the inside story, he no longer had any interest in cooperating with these companies.

Because he was completely disappointed in the leadership of these companies, and he couldn't have a sense of trust in such companies.

In this era in mainland China, the term "corporate culture" really does not yet exist.

However, enterprises in the Republic also pay attention to hard work, and also care about historical inheritance and sense of honor.

No matter from which point of view, with such a wicked factory leader, no matter how many honors such a company has had in the past, it will not be much better in the future.

What's more, the trolley suitcase customized by Ning Weimin is to be sold in Japan, and the production quality must be guaranteed.

To achieve quality standards, although advanced equipment and worker skills are required, what is even more indispensable is that the production enterprise must have a certain sense of responsibility and ethics.

For the sake of money, companies that want to poach the corners of their own country and want to collude with foreigners, will they still have a sense of responsibility?
How about ethics?
To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin felt guilty for placing an order with these companies after he knew they were sloppy.

I am worried that if I am not paying attention, I will support a few traitor enterprises.

Yes, although Ning Weimin himself had found an underground bank and asked Axia to "bring" domestic funds to Japan.

In terms of nature, there is no difference between him and these quota-eating people in taking advantage of the country's loopholes, it seems to be a joke.

But the point is that he will give back to his hometown when he makes money outside.

The purpose is to bring back more foreign exchange so that the country can gain greater benefits.

But what about these people?
Ning Weimin does not believe that after these enterprises grow stronger, they will change their minds and use the wealth they earn to make any beneficial contributions to the country and society.

What's more, having said that, rushing to the top is not a business.

If someone was using a cold butt against him, why would he put a hot face against it?
Yes, he is indeed not a foreign businessman.

But with his current energy, he is admired by everyone in Tokyo, Japan, where he is unfamiliar, and the little devils are rushing to curry favor.

It makes no sense for him to go back to his hometown and instead have to take such a big order and beg others to make money from him.

In that case, isn't he a bitch?
These state-owned enterprise bosses, since they don't understand that the world has changed, they haven't been beaten by the market economy.

Then wait for the storm that is coming soon!
So Ning Weimin bluntly rejected Director Li's proposal, but put forward other suggestions.

"As the old saying goes, hard twisted melons are not sweet. Although these companies have good conditions and a large scale, the threshold is also high. Since they have their own plans, I can't force it. But Li Department, I definitely don't mean to blame you. I also went out from the capital under the red flag as a small chief. Of course I know what's going on between our bureau and the company. I can understand the difficulty you are caught in the middle. And Don't worry, I don't intend to terminate the cooperation here. I just want to ask if there are any alternative manufacturers. Is there any company in the Bureau that has excellent quality, but the products are not popular, resulting in poor profits? You also Can you introduce me. Doing business, in fact, is no different from falling in love and getting married. You have to be consensual, and you have to be well-matched, so that you can have a long-term..."

As soon as Ning Weimin said this, Director Li knew that he was really angry.

Don't look at the superficial smile, but I really have a grudge in my heart.

But Ning Weimin still intends to cooperate, which is a good thing.

Director Li thought about it again, he would not have been put together by several companies and insisted on counting the money for them.

He is the chief, not a "low boss".

Then just change it. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you change to another company. Anyway, they are all subordinates of the Light Industry Bureau.

So he no longer pretended to be a good old man, tried to save something, and insisted on speaking for those companies.

It's just that after all, he has been personally working on this cooperation project, and when he was doing the research, he had a basic understanding of the situation of all the subordinate companies in the bureau that were suitable for this project.

In Director Li's impression, these three companies are the most suitable ones.Compared with them, other factories are much smaller.

For this reason, it is inevitable to have concerns, and we have to mention the ugliness first.

"Yes, there are, but other factories are not at the same level as these factories in terms of equipment and conditions. To tell you the truth, those factories are all small factories, and they have never produced foreign trade orders. Products They are all sold domestically, and the benefits are not good now. I am afraid that the products they produce will not meet the standards you need..."

However, unexpectedly, when Ning Weimin heard this, instead of retreating, he actually persuaded him.

"Oh, it's okay, let's go and have a look. Li Chu, you don't need to worry. The advancement of my trolley suitcase is actually only in the structure, and there is nothing too difficult in terms of craftsmanship and materials. I think As long as the factory leaders have a sense of responsibility and want to run the factory well, the new stage will be smaller and the equipment will be inferior. Even if the production capacity is not enough at the beginning, if there is money to be made, can’t it be expanded? What I hope is a long-term cooperation. What's more, for you, if you can pull up a small factory, I believe that the credit for this matter is much better than the icing on the cake for a big factory, right?"

Hey, Ning Weimin has already talked about this.

That being the case, what else is there to say?

Whether in public or private, Director Li has to do his best.

But not to mention, Ning Weimin was not disappointed, and was even pleasantly surprised when he visited several factories this time.

Because it also belongs to the Fur and Leather Industry Company under the Bureau of Light Industry, there is such a Jingcheng Leather Goods No. [-] Factory that specializes in the production of schoolbags, which makes Ning Weimin's eyes shine.

As for what interests Ning Weimin, it is neither how good the equipment of this factory is, nor how high-quality the employees of this factory are.

But this factory has a very individual factory manager, who is supported by all the workers like a miracle.

To be honest, this should be regarded as a small factory owned by the grandchildren of the Light Industry Bureau. The basic conditions are that Ning Weimin and Director Li have seen all the worst factories.

In terms of heads, there are only about 120 people.

Plants and equipment are also old fashioned things.

When it rains in summer, workers often have to worry about rain leakage in the workshop, and some workshops even have to wear raincoats to work.

Especially because of the single product, this factory makes military satchels and artificial leather handbags.

The products cannot be sold, resulting in a backlog and losses year after year.

Last year, it was even to the point where it was almost impossible to pay wages, and the workers couldn't get out of the pot.

In terms of operating difficulties, even the blasting equipment factory in Shenyang, which had just gone bankrupt, was better than them.

At least people's debts are only two-thirds of their assets.

As for the Beijing No. [-] Leather Goods Factory, which only has two outdated products, it has long been insolvent.

It was only because the superior company, the Leather and Fur Company, was a large government office, and the factory took advantage of the small number of people, that it could barely survive.

Needless to say, this factory is a big burden for the leather and fur company.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of this factory, the leather and fur company has carried out reforms in the factory many times since the policy was established.

But it is a pity that there are very few results. No matter in financial management or new product development, they all fail.

Last year, the leather and fur company couldn't stand it anymore.

I just want to close the factory for a period of time, and let the workers in the factory take 70.00% of their wages and go home first.

As a result, because of this decision, a Sun Dasheng who dared to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace was provoked.

The person who dared to publicly oppose the decision of the Leather and Fur Corporation was named Cheng Zhi.

He is a 28-year-old educated youth returning to the city. He returned to the city from Fangshan in 1982 to take over his mother's post and came to this factory.

According to him, the workers in the factory are all poor people, and it is hard enough without bonuses.

If the wages are further reduced, everyone will not be able to live.

With this remark, he immediately won the collective support of all the workers.

But the people from the leather and fur company were impatient, thinking that this kid was deliberately making trouble.

The factory leaders didn't dare to let Cheng Zhi gossip, fearing to offend the superiors of the leather and fur company, so they planned to suppress it on the spot.

Unexpectedly, when it comes to this matter, Cheng Zhi, who dares to tell the truth, has already given up.

On the spot, they openly challenged the leadership of the factory and scolded the factory leadership for being incompetent. Then they flattered the leaders and ate nonsense, which made everyone live a hard life.

He scolded the head office for making people unclear and allowed a few idiots to "maintain government power" in the factory. He claimed that if he were the director of the factory, the factory would never be like this.

In the end, he didn't expect that although the factory leader was scolded by him, his face was disgraced and his face was disgraced.

But the people from the leather and fur company took it seriously, and asked him on the spot what ability he had to say such a thing?

Cheng Zhi was not afraid, and said that you don't care, anyway, as long as you let me be the factory manager.

I don't need your company to give me any more money, so I am confident that I can turn the factory around and achieve the annual profit of 5 yuan.

Just like that, a few days later, the leather and fur company actually called Cheng Zhi to the company and asked him to sign a painting as the factory director.

Probably also want to die Ma Quan as a living horse doctor.

But what the people at the Leather and Fur Company didn't expect was that although Cheng Zhi didn't back down, he made an excessive request that was considered outrageous in this era.

That is, he is willing to take care of the workers in the factory, but let all the original eight cadres leave, and these people will be placed by the leather fur company.

What happened after that was even more unexpected. After discussing in a meeting, the Leather and Fur Company actually agreed.

No matter how outraged and opposed the eight cadres of the No. [-] Leather Goods Factory were, they were all transferred away.

And this Cheng Zhi became the king of the mountain in the third leather goods factory.

But this kid really has some skills, not a fake trick that just talks but doesn't practice.

After he took over the power of the factory, he mobilized all the employees to sell some of the overstocked products at a very low price through various channels, and returned the funds, and then made fashionable backpacks as in Guangdong. .

In this way, after half a year, the third leather goods factory really started to make profits, which also made the fur and leather company look at it with admiration.

However, because what Cheng Zhi did was a rebellious act, his credit cannot be rewarded, and the Fur Leather Company can't even recognize it, so as not to arouse the dissatisfaction of the leaders of other subordinate companies.

When Ning Weimin saw the factory manager, the third leather goods factory was almost in a wild state, as if it had been completely forgotten by the fur and leather company, completely isolated from the company system.

The mutual affiliation relationship is basically a mere formality. As long as Cheng Zhi pays the profits on time, he doesn't even have to go to the company's meetings.
