The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 355 Fundraising and Misappropriation

Song Guofeng looked embarrassed. He wanted to go public mainly to raise capital (money), but he couldn't ignore the political and social influence of going public. After thinking about it, he decided to chat with Li Weidong about it.

The listing quota is allocated to each province, and each province decides which company to allocate the quota to. Naturally, the province has to consider overall, which companies should be listed, or need to be listed, which are direct descendants, and which are irrelevant.

Promising companies, in addition to being able to go public to obtain low-cost funds, can naturally also obtain policy support from the province, at least officially recognized and endorsed by the government.

Moreover, the social effect and advertising effect are also very good. After all, there are few listed companies at this time, and there are only a few hundred small companies in the country. These companies are among the best in the eyes of ordinary people.

External publicity and advertising is also a bright spot. There are few listed companies, and ordinary people think that rare things are valuable!

The publicity is good, but the common people are finished with one word. If you say you are good, why are you not listed?
The advertisement for listing is more powerful than the advertisement of CCTV. Some time ago, Qizhou Innovation Motorcycle recruited agents in various provinces.

What made Song Guofeng furious was that these agents came to see that Qizhou Innovation Motorcycle and Qizhou Motorcycle were not the same thing, and they were even disappointed.

Several agents were still thinking about signing an agency contract with Qizhou Motorcycle Factory, which made Director Zhang of Qizhou Motorcycle Factory very happy, and the business they sent would definitely be done.

Therefore, Qizhou Motorcycle Factory is booming again with the money from the listing circle and the lively market, and its sales volume is better than that of Qizhou Innovation Motorcycles, and it is still increasing.

In Song Guofeng's view, this directly formed a competitive relationship, which was a big challenge for them.

Of course, Song Guofeng couldn't accept Director Zhang's provocation, let's call it a provocation. When the innovation factory opened, the director Zhang was very depressed, as if he didn't want to take away the candy he got.

But as frustrated as he was then, he is as proud as he is now, and even made a statement to make the innovative motorcycles disappear from the Qizhou market.

Now it was Song Guofeng's turn to be depressed and depressed!
Hearing what Song Guofeng said, Li Weidong also frowned. He also knew that Qizhou motorcycles were very popular in his previous life.

I always thought it was the reason for the joint venture with foreign technology, but now it seems that it should be the reason for the listing.

As for letting them disappear in the Qizhou market, that would be a joke. The Chinese market is too big for anyone to eat.

Moreover, the mountain city with the title of motorcycle capital can own several famous Chinese motorcycles at the same time, such as Lifan, Jialing, Jianshe, and Qizhou can naturally accommodate two motorcycle factories.

"If you want to go public, you need the government's permission. Besides, Handong already has a motorcycle company listed. Is there still a quota?"

"Hey, this Jianing was really lucky. The year before last, their net assets were only [-] million yuan, but their receivables were only over [-] million yuan. Which of these receivables can be recovered? They are almost bad debts? "

"Not only that, but they still have [-] million in inventory. The backlog of inventory is so serious that they can't even pay their wages. It's quite noisy!"

"As a result, it went public at the end of last year. Since it raised more than [-] million yuan in funds, it not only paid off the loan, but also brought it back to life. This is not a listing, it is simply a government appropriation!"

"And now that the fame has started, and the inventory is gone, where can I justify it!"

Song Guofeng was angry when he said it, but it couldn't change the fact that the stock market is a new thing these days, the effect of making money is obvious, and the enthusiasm of stockholders is high.

There has been a consensus in the market that the stock market will rise. As long as a company can issue shares to the public, it will definitely be oversubscribed and hyped wildly. The key is that the government has the final say on who will be listed. This is almost a disguised appropriation.

When Li Weidong and Song Guofeng were planning to invest in the motorcycle factory last year, the city wanted them to invest in the Qizhou motorcycle factory, but Li Weidong refused.

However, the future of the motorcycle factory does not seem to be very bright, and it has been brilliant for a few years only with the money raised from the listing and this reputation. Before entering the new century, it was already overwhelmed and suffered serious losses.

"Don't be sour here. Rather than envying others, it's better to think of a way yourself. They carry their burdens and move forward. You are a new company. You don't have the burdens, and you can't compete with them?"

Hearing what Li Weidong said, Song Guofeng didn't dare to complain anymore. Complaining is too strong to prevent heartbreak. An employee who only complains is not a good employee, and a leader who also complains just doesn't want to do it.

"Don't worry, we can do it. Although their sales have increased recently, their models and technologies are relatively backward. We have new technologies and models. We must have an advantage over them in this regard!"

"And after the increase in production this year, our sales have risen in a straight line. When all the production lines are put into operation before the National Day, our production will definitely surpass them!"

In comparison, Qizhou Motorcycle Factory is under much more pressure than them. Not only do they have a lot of employees to support, but they also have to face the problem of aging technology.

Although there are rumors, the first thing they did after receiving the funds raised this time was to discuss cooperation with Suzuki, whom they had contacted before. However, their sales have improved recently, their profits have increased, and the voice for cooperation has declined.

"Take your time, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the output should be based on the sales volume, otherwise it will end up in inventory and take up a lot of money, and this alone will drag you down!"

After Li Weidong heard this, he frowned, and still said that the manufacturing industry should not only be based on output, but also on sales, and ultimately on profit.

Seeing Song Guofeng nodding, Li Weidong said to Zheng Sijing who was sitting next to him: "Old Zheng, you look so imposing, I am envious!"

"It's all cultivated by you, the chairman. Without you, who would know me?" Zheng Sijing's rainbow fart came out as if he didn't want money, but he was telling the truth.

"When did you become so eloquent? Isn't there a reception today? Why come to me when you have time?" On the plane, Zheng Sijing told him about his itinerary.

"Several companies are not big. We met almost last night. We had a meeting with the people in the office in the morning. The basic situation has been grasped, and there is no special situation. They can handle it!"

Zheng Sijing came to Qizhou to accompany Li Weidong for more reasons than work needs. The people in the office can handle work matters. Whether he comes or not will not have much impact.

And he can still tell which thing is important, and it is the most important thing to be with Li Weidong at this time.

"It's the right thing for you to do your job well. I'll be a mascot for you when I come back. You have to do the specific things. If you have something to do, go and do it. Don't hang around with me!"

Li Weidong shook his head. He probably knew what these people thought. For example, Song Guofeng came here simply to tell him that he would receive the visiting group from the Federation of Industry and Commerce on the [-]th?

Definitely not, these things can be done with a phone call, but he still comes, and it is impossible not to report to the leader face to face.

If you have the opportunity, you should take it, if you don't have the opportunity, you should take it.

In the afternoon, Li Weidong attended the negotiating meeting with the city as scheduled. Both parties were of relatively high rank. As the ranks of the participants rose, the negotiation time naturally became shorter.

They are all people who keep their word. First, they don’t need to ask for instructions back and forth. Second, they are all men who poop in the latrine and face outward. To save face, you can’t bargain like buying vegetables.

The price Li Weidong gave was [-]% higher than the bottom line of the city office, which was not considered a disadvantage. He also agreed with the city that the number of layoffs should not exceed [-]% each year.

That night, Li Weidong and the city government signed a contract of intent at the Dongjiao Hotel. Witnesses include Xinsheng Holdings and the city government, as well as the "surviving" middle-level leaders and employee representatives of the machinery factory.

I don't know if it was intentional, but many of the people who came were Li Weidong's acquaintances. Many people came to the assembly workshop, including his master He Dashan, and colleagues who joined the factory in the same year as him.

He Dashan looked at Li Weidong, who was chatting with the city leaders on the stage, with mixed feelings in his heart. The factory changed from a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise, and their identities also changed.

They used to be cadres of state-owned enterprises, but this time the city took money to let them buy out their working years. Those who are unwilling can naturally choose to be diverted to other state-owned enterprises.

But what about other factories, good factories, everyone wants to get in; earlier bankruptcy.

He Dashan has come to this point, it should be a good destination to choose a state-owned enterprise and wait for a few years to retire safely.

But when He Dashan thought about it, he was only in his 50s this year, and he was ten years away from retirement. What could he do if he went to another factory, and what his son said was right, Li Weidong would not treat him badly!

He Yusheng is a living example. He Dashan has a full understanding of He Yusheng's level, so it would be nice to let him play by himself and have enough to eat!

Surely there will be no such great achievements. Now that the Auto City is open, more and more car manufacturers are moving in, and the machine repair shop is also doing well. The monthly income has long been higher than his.

He Dashan knows a lot about Li Weidong, and he also knows that this is not an ordinary person who is good at creating miracles. Can he also rely on this old bone to follow Li Weidong to create miracles?
There is also Liu Jianguo who thinks the same as him. He retired from the army and came to the machinery factory, and later became the director of the workshop. He didn't understand this at first, but he liked this job very much.

After more than ten years of learning one machine tool and one piece of equipment, after such a long time, I cannot say that I am proficient, but I am qualified as a leader.

Liu Jianguo never dreamed of what was going on. Some time ago, he and Wang Zhengrong went to Li Weidong to clear up the relationship, trying to attract a Hong Kong businessman to invest and change the environment in the factory.

Why was Wang Zhengrong suddenly transferred from his job because of some problems, and went to the Machinery Bureau as a quasi-retirement worker with no job and position, without even a spare job.

Compared to him, other people were not so lucky. The factory director who usually does not show his face and leak water did not even bother with the old-age care, so he went straight in.

The other deputies are even more reassigned, dismissed and resigned. Now the machinery factory is leaderless, and the deputy secretary in charge of the trade union doesn't care about anything.

And after this incident, it would be nice if this section-level official could get a spare job.

People like Liu Jianguo are barely at the department level. As for whether they can get a position, it depends on the sky. He is forty this year, and he may be able to reach the deputy director level if he is good.

Now all the yamen are overcrowded, and now it is advocated that intellectuals be given priority, and young and knowledgeable people should be promoted first. What kind of future can he have with a junior high school graduate?

More importantly, Li Weidong has already approached him through Liu Yongliang, hoping that he can stay.

Liu Jianguo knew that Li Weidong's wish for him to stay was definitely not because of his ability to operate machine tools.

For more than 500 people in the machinery factory, today is destined to be an unusual night, and they have to think about the future.

There are many people who are willing to stay, and there are also many people who are willing to leave. Most of them are about to retire, or feel that they can't get along here.

Although it is promised that only [-]% of the layoffs will be made, no one can guarantee that this person will not include himself.

"Master, Uncle Liu, it's too late today, so I'll make a long story short. I hope you stay. You are familiar with the situation in the factory and it is easy to get started. I don't worry about others!" When the meeting ended, Li Weidong turned to the two of them. Said.

The two looked at each other, knowing that this was Li Weidong's official invitation, whether it was through He Yusheng or Liu Yongliang, it was considered to be an inquiry, and Li Weidong had to say it himself.

The two of them didn't play any tricks of visiting the thatched cottage, they just nodded and agreed. They didn't have the ability of Zhuge Liang's crouching dragon, and Li Weidong didn't have Liu Bei's eagerness to seek talents. There are many people who can do this job.

Li Weidong said that they were allowed to stay because the two of them were familiar with the situation in the factory and felt at ease with them, not because of their ability.

"Master, the negotiation is basically finished now, and the contract can be signed in at most two days. You should pay attention to the situation in the factory in the next few days!"

What Li Weidong said at the beginning led to such a big thing. The key is that the troublemakers in the middle were unwilling to take on this job. Li Weidong tentatively asked Song Guofeng.

But how can Song Guofeng see a machinery factory now, and how can he have an innovative locomotive.

Both Liu Jianguo and He Dashan have been working in the workshop, and their thinking is solid. They are fully qualified to be vice presidents, but it may be tricky to be top leaders.

Li Weidong invited the two people into his car in front of the people from the machinery factory, and asked Zhang Hao to send them back to the factory. Li Weidong wanted to send a signal through this incident that these two people belong to me, and you have ideas Act now.

On the weekend, Li Weidong contacted Qiao Rui and said that he would stop by to see her, but Qiao Rui said that she was coming to the city.

"That's just right, come and sit at home, Xiaohui will give you something, and I would have sent it to you!" Li Weidong said.

"Okay, I'll deliver some materials first, and I'll be at your house around ten o'clock!" Qiao Rui agreed wholeheartedly.

Li Weidong didn't know if it was true or not, what materials to send on the big weekend, but this is not bad, otherwise Li Weidong went to the management committee to find Qiao Rui, it would not be good.

Qiao Rui hasn't found a partner at such an age, and if a man goes looking for her, it will be even more difficult to find a partner.

When he saw Qiao Rui, Li Weidong's eyes lit up. It could be seen that he put on some makeup before going out.

Although the summer is very hot, Qiao Rui's dress is fairly conservative. The floral dress reaches to the heels, but the texture should be good, very fashionable and exquisite, and the rate of return should be good.

Li Weidong couldn't help but nodded when he saw it, his Adam's apple rolled subconsciously, and he hurriedly recited the mantra of pure heart.

"Sorry, I'm late, I'm flattered to let you, the big boss, wait for me!" Qiao Rui arrived at Li Weidong's house, and Li Weidong had already come down from the shade of the tree.

In order to "meet" Qiao Rui, Li Weidong asked Xie Ming and Zhang Hao to move out the rattan round table and rattan chairs that had not been used for many days, put them under the shade of a tree, and put a pot of tea on them for waiting.

"I'm drinking tea here, so why wait? What's the embarrassment?" Li Weidong said with a smile, pointing to the wicker chair opposite, motioning for Qiao Rui to sit down.

Li Weidong saw the sweat stains on Qiao Rui's forehead, and said with a smile: "I said let the car pick you up, but if you don't let me, the journey is quite comfortable!"

"Chairman Li, what you said, we know who we are, and we were going to invite you and Xiaohui to dinner, and then let you pick it up, what would it look like!"

"What do you want me to eat?" Li Weidong didn't know what to do, thinking it had something to do with Liu Jinhui!
"The last time you invested in the Auto City, Mr. He and Mr. Zheng approached me. I received tens of thousands of rewards for nothing. If I don't treat you to a meal, I can't justify it!"

"You didn't come here just because of this, did you?" Li Weidong sat up straight and said.
