Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 262 Director Li's Expectations and Big Cake

Cao Zhiqiang didn't know what to do when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Director Li.

Originally, it was just to talk about the issue of superiority and inferiority, why did the intention suddenly become so high?
"Director Li." Cao Zhiqiang laughed quickly, "Your hat is too high, I can't bear it, it's scary."

Factory Manager Li smiled slightly, and then said earnestly: "Little Cao, I have great expectations for you.

But my expectation of you is not just as simple as a publishing house.

I actually regard you as the hope of the entire Hongguang Machinery Factory.

In the future, this Hongguang Machinery Factory will probably be led by you! "

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback, "No, Director Li, you..."

"Hey!" Director Li waved his hand at Cao Zhiqiang, "Listen to me!"

After stopping Cao Zhiqiang, Director Li continued: "Maybe you think that what I said is to make a big deal for you? No, what I said are all words from the heart, not jokes."

After a long sigh, Director Li finally said: "Forget it, now that things are up to now, I won't hide some things from you.

In fact, our Hongguang Machinery Factory, if there are no accidents, I'm afraid it won't last long. "

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "What do you mean? What do you mean it won't last long?"

Director Li shook his head lightly, and then said: "Last time, I went to a meeting with Secretary Dong, which was about our machinery factory.

At that meeting, the leaders above felt that the technology of our machinery factory was backward and the competitiveness of our products was poor, which led to the loss of the factory year after year and the need for financial subsidies year after year. They felt that it was impossible to continue, and wanted us to carry out enterprise transformation.

The plan they discussed was that although our factory was incapable of technology and products, its location was very good, it was very close to the main urban area, and it occupied a large area.

Therefore, they hope that we can take the initiative to apply for transformation and ask us to cooperate with Shougang.

It is said that it is cooperation, but it is actually letting Shougang annex us.

Not only that, they also want us to split ourselves up, and only cooperate with Shougang in the main workshop part, and assign other tertiary industry personnel such as hospitals, schools, canteens, etc. to other related units nearby.

To put it bluntly, it is to dismantle our entire factory area and move it away. The original factory area will be taken back by the government and converted into commercial buildings and residential buildings, and the unified construction office will be responsible for it.

Once this plan is passed, our Hongguang Machinery Factory will be completely dismembered and will no longer exist. "

"Really?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "When did it happen?"

"Just the day before yesterday." Director Li said, "I went to the meeting with Old Dong the day before yesterday, a joint meeting organized by the Ministry of Metallurgy and the city government.

We were not the only ones who went to the meeting, but many nearby factories, such as the Red Star Rolling Mill, were also included in the renovation plan. "

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "There is talk about this transformation plan, or split plan, when will it start?"

Director Li sighed: "Now it's just a demonstration period, but it seems that their determination is very strong, it may take three to five years at a time, or one or two years soon, and it is estimated that it will be implemented soon.

But this time, with the participation of the city government, it is estimated that it will be very soon.

At worst, there will be news within a year. "

Cao Zhiqiang blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment.

That's right, in Cao Zhiqiang's memory, in the era he lived in, there was indeed no Hongguang Machinery Factory in the capital, and the location where the Hongguang Machinery Factory is now is indeed a high-end commercial area and residential area in later generations. , all kinds of high-rise buildings stand everywhere.

If you think about it, Hongguang Machinery Factory is just outside the second ring road and within the third ring road. This location is fine now, but in the 21st century, it will be a proper golden location.

In such a good location, it is really inappropriate to continue to put a highly polluting machinery factory here without turning it into a commercial building or a residential building.

But in Cao Zhiqiang's mind, Hongguang Machinery Factory is so powerful, how can it last until the 90s?

Generally speaking, isn't it the 90s that ushered in the wave of factory closures?

Why is it only in [-], and it's time to start doing it?

Wait, that's not right either.

When it comes to the wave of factory closures in the 90s, that is on a large scale.

In fact, strictly speaking, after the re-opening, many factories have been rectified one after another.

It's just that there is no such thing as bankruptcy in this period, only the so-called transformation and rectification, which is actually annexation of each other.

As Director Li just said, it is a kind of action in which the big fish eat the small fish, or a group of fish eat one fish.

It's not complicated at all.

Because Hongguang Machinery Factory is not profitable and occupies a good amount of land, the city government has taken a fancy to this piece of land and wants to take back this piece of industrial land and turn it into commercial and residential land for building new buildings and houses. Accommodate more residents.

There must be a reason for wanting the land of the factory. After all, it is not the 90s now, and state-owned factories have a lot of energy, especially the enterprises directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy, which are independent of the government's jurisdiction to a certain extent.

Therefore, the best way is to engage in corporate transformation, or rectification, under the pretext of poor efficiency and too much loss.

Specifically, the Hongguang Machinery Factory was relocated as a whole, and during this period, various industries were divided.

Major departments such as production workshops will be eaten by the giant of Shougang, and factory-run hospitals will probably be taken over by the government and converted into public hospitals or affiliated hospitals of medical universities.

There are also factory-run primary schools, which can also be taken over by the municipal government and converted into public schools.

As for other tertiary industries such as canteens, movie theaters, guest houses, basketball courts, workers' cultural palaces, etc., it is estimated that they will also be transformed into government-owned and turned into public institutions.

In my memory, Cao Zhiqiang seemed to be like this during the transformation of state-owned enterprises in the 90s in his previous life, turning the tertiary industry of the enterprise into a public institution.

By the way, there is also my own publishing house. If it goes on like this, it may be incorporated into a public institution.

On the surface, it seems good to turn one's own publishing house into a public institution, but when you think about it carefully, it's actually not so good.

Because of the current situation, Hongguang Publishing House is a subsidiary of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and Cao Zhiqiang's affiliation contract is also against Hongguang Machinery Factory.

To put it more simply, when the publishing house was first established, Director Li and Secretary Dong were the main ones to come forward, and Cao Zhiqiang only needed Secretary Dong and Director Li to cover him, so he was a proper leader in the publishing house, even if He is now just the general manager and vice president.

As for Niu Shufen, that was nothing more than jumping over the wall in a hurry. Except for making Cao Zhiqiang look bad for a while, she was not an opponent at the same level at all.

In other words, as long as Secretary Dong and Director Li keep Cao Zhiqiang under their wing, Hongguang Publishing House will still be Cao Zhiqiang's voice.

Even if Secretary Dong and Factory Manager Li retire, the people they promote will definitely follow suit, at least they dare not mess around in the first few years.

As for the affiliation contract, it is just to guard against villains, or to show outsiders and gag them.

In fact, as far as the Hongguang Machinery Factory, the superior sponsoring department, they can tear up the affiliation agreement at any time, of course this refers to the person at the level of the factory director.

If calculated according to normal retirement, Director Li can still work for at least five years.

Cao Zhiqiang felt that within five years, he would be able to beat Hongguang Publishing House like an iron bucket, and he would definitely be able to buy the new factory director ahead of time, so that the new factory director would continue to be a community of interests with him.

As long as the new factory director is the same as factory director Li and has interests tied to Hongguang Publishing House, then of course he will not overthrow the original buyout-style affiliation agreement for his own benefit.

In this way, I can at least give the publishing house another ten years.

In the future, when the publishing house reforms, becomes an enterprise, and becomes a publishing group, it will definitely be able to transform earlier and gain more power and profits.

All in all, it is good to enjoy the cool with the back of Dashu.

As long as Director Li and Secretary Dong are behind him, even without a big leader, Cao Zhiqiang can be like a fish in water in the publishing house and keep his word.

However, if within three years, no, within one year, the Hongguang Machinery Factory is gone, then it will all be over.

To put it more clearly, Cao Zhiqiang's real backer now is Hongguang Machinery Factory.

With Hongguang Machinery Factory, a large state-owned enterprise, Cao Zhiqiang has full confidence in everything he does.

But if the Hongguang Machinery Factory is going to disappear, the main body is merged, and the other tertiary industries are split off to the municipal government and turned into a public institution, then it will be bad.

At that time, let's not talk about other units, just say that the higher-level organizer of Hongguang Publishing House will inevitably become a municipal government, and its nature will also become a public institution.

As a result, the original anchoring contract becomes invalid.

It's like if you take out the land deed from the previous dynasty, the current officials don't have to recognize it.

After becoming a public institution, it is not impossible to re-open the relationship.

But at that time, everyone probably knew that Hongguang Publishing House could make money.

So at that time, I had to re-sign the affiliation agreement with the new superior, and I guess it would be impossible to pay a fixed amount every year to buy it out. At least it must be divided, and a large portion should be given to the government.

Although this can be regarded as a worry for the country, I am afraid that there will be Shuo Shu among them, and most of the money will come into Shuo Shu's pocket.

"Is there really no way?" Cao Zhiqiang asked, "Is there no way to resist? Aren't we an enterprise directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy? Don't we have a certain degree of independence? Can't we say no?"

Director Li shook his head: "Say no, of course you can, but if you want to say no, you have to be able to say it."

After a short pause, Factory Director Li continued: "Actually, our biggest problem is our machinery factory. It is true that we cannot support ourselves with our own ability, so we need a part of the treasury to subsidize us every year.

The current situation of our machinery factory is that the central government gives a part of the subsidy, and the Beiping city government also gives a part of the subsidy.

If we want to say no, the subsidy from the central government is hard to say, but the subsidy from the Beiping city government will definitely stop.

Once that part of the subsidy is stopped, what will happen to the wages of so many employees in our factory?
If wages cannot be paid, how will everyone live, the consequences will be disastrous! "

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "So, if we can be responsible for our own profits and losses and make money to support ourselves, can we say no to those people and refuse to be rectified?"

Director Li looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "If our factory can be responsible for its own profits and losses, at least we can delay it for a few more years, at least three to five years, and the rectification will not be immediately on our shoulders. As for what will happen in the future, I dare not Say."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "So, you want me to find a way to support all the employees in the entire machinery factory?"

Director Li smiled slightly:
"To be honest, I didn't count on you at first, let alone the idea of ​​letting you be responsible for raising the entire factory.

But you were able to support more than 500 people in the entire security department and transportation department in a short period of time with your own strength, which gave me hope.

Of course, there is no comparison between more than 500 people and more than 8000 people.

I don't know if you can do it.

But at least it was a straw, wasn't it? "

After sighing lightly, Director Li said: "As you said before, times have changed, and today's world is different from the past.

I heard that some factories in the South that are not doing well have begun to transform themselves, and some factories have transformed very well.

Although our situation is different, the crisis we are facing is also different.

If we don't try again, this factory will be dismantled in a year soon, and then it will cease to exist. It may not even keep its name, and then disappear in the long river of history, no one cares about it, and no one knows it.

I have spent most of my life in this factory. My feelings for this factory may not be understood by a newcomer like you.

I don't want this factory to be dismembered and disappear like this.

But I can't bring this factory back to life, and I can't stop the general trend.

I also thought of some ways, but in fact it didn't work.

It's you, who made me feel fresh and new, especially your whimsical ideas and money-making ideas, which made me very amazed.

Then I thought, maybe I'm really old, and it's really time for some capable young people to come out and take charge of the overall situation.

Although I don't know if it will work.

But it never hurts to try.

The worst result is nothing more than failure, and everyone continues to wait to be split and annexed.

But what if it happens, won't the factory be saved?

If you don't try to make a change, you are sure to die.

Try to make a change, at least have a chance.

So I decided to bet on you! "

Speaking of this, Director Li took a deep breath: "Well, Xiao Cao, I will give you a promise.

During this year, I will fully support you, and you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't break the law or go out of line.

Then, if you can find a way to support the more than 8000 employees in our entire factory within a year, our factory can support itself even without government subsidies, so that we can truly come back to life.

Then I promise here that in the future, you will only be in the third place under me and Lao Dong in this factory.

If you can go further on this basis, our factory will become more dynamic and thriving.

Then I promise, before retiring, together with Lao Dong, I will do my best to protect you as the next director of the factory! "

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly knocked unconscious by this big cake.

"Isn't that appropriate?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

"I'm only 19 years old this year, and I haven't been in the factory for long.

One year, no, even five years later let me be the factory director?

The level of qualifications is far behind, right?
Impossible. "

Director Li laughed: "Of course it's impossible to keep it as usual, but when is now? Now is the time for reform and opening up, and everything is a time for innovation and change!
That person said it all, you have to cross the river by feeling the stones, and you have to try resolutely, break through boldly, and blaze a trail.

If you have the ability to bring this factory back to life, and even go one step further, to create greater glories, then what's wrong with promoting you as factory director?
You know, during the war years, there were promotions on the front line. Now is the time for our factory to survive, so why can't we not stick to one pattern and drop talents? "

Cao Zhiqiang smiled wryly and shook his head: "You think highly of me!"

Director Li patted Cao Zhiqiang on the shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself!
I told you so much, not to let you carry the whole factory immediately.

I just want to tell you, with me as your backing from now on, you just have to be confident and bold, and do whatever you want!
As long as you don't do things too out of line, I will definitely solve ordinary minor problems for you personally!

One year, I will give you one year!
In one year, if you can find a way out for our factory, you can find a way to support more than 8000 of us.

that's enough! "

Speaking of this, Director Li put away his hands and smiled slightly: "To solve that Niu Shufen is the first gift I give you, and it can be regarded as my sincerity.

So Xiao Cao, I really like you, don't let me down! "
