Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 501 Make Contributions First, Then Get Benefits II

Wang Weidong and Li Yueshi walked out of the Shanghai Office of the Japan-China Economic Association.

"Boss, think about it, the production of this low-end Igbt can't actually make much money, and the Japanese will not give up production if they can make a lot of money." Li Yueshi said.

"Now Xiangyang Electronics is still in the initial accumulation stage. We don't have so much financial resources and manpower to do high-end things. It is said that the production of this kind of igbt can't make a lot of money. Aren't those companies that produce socks and lighters also producing? Their profits are even higher. Low! Now we can only accumulate slowly, and when the capital of Xiangyang Electronics is strong enough in the future, we will focus on high-end Igbt!" Wang Weidong said.

"We at Xiangyang Electronics still have enough energy to raise more money. The stock price of Red Star Beer is much higher than when we first acquired it, and now it has reached about 27 yuan per share. With the shares of Red Star Beer as collateral, I I think it is absolutely no problem to borrow [-] to [-] million yuan from the bank, and if you pledge all of it, you can even get a loan of [-] billion yuan!" Li Yueshi said.

"Absolutely not! We absolutely can't do this! Miss Li, you are from Hong Kong Island, and you are used to thinking about problems purely economically, without any sense of politics. Haven't you noticed? Since the stock market has risen for half a year, the country is now It has already begun to pour cold water on the stock market. If we pledge all the shares of Red Star Beer at this time, when the stock market falls sharply in the future, the shares pledged in the hands of the bank will be worthless. At that time, we want to borrow from the bank. Impossible, the bank will just desperately demand our debts! It’s like a well-run corporate bank can’t afford all the depositors to withdraw all the deposits in the bank. At that time, Red Star Beer will be ignored by the bank Take it to the market for auction. For example, we have invested one billion yuan in the construction of breweries in various places, but we may not even have [-] million yuan in the auction! In the end, we lost [-] million yuan, and even lost all our money. !” Wang Weidong said.

"No, Mr. Wang, even if the day you mentioned does happen, don't forget that we still have a listed company on Hong Kong Island. We can still raise money from Xiangyang Electronics Co., Ltd." Li Yueshi said confidently.

"What if the stock market on Hong Kong Island also falls sharply by then? Don't think things are so simple. You must keep enough back!" Wang Weidong said.

Li Yueshi felt that the possibility that Wang Weidong said was too low. In the 90s, the mainland stock market was closed, and there was little linkage with foreign stock markets. The possibility of the mainland stock market and the Hong Kong Island stock market falling sharply at the same time was very small.

Li Yueshi also wanted to use the economics knowledge she had learned to persuade Wang Weidong, but was interrupted by Wang Weidong.

"Miss Li, you stay in the Shanghai stock market. I have to go to the capital immediately. I have important matters to deal with. I have to leave by plane tonight. Let's break up here." Wang Weidong said.

Wang Weidong did have something to do when he went to the capital.

Vice Minister Lu called him and asked him to go to the capital.The Ministry has coordinated a piece of land for the resettlement of retired workers from the Expedition Machinery Factory, and Wang Weidong needs to go to the capital to negotiate.

After all, Wang Weidong had already agreed that Xiangyang Electronics would pay for these veteran workers and their family members.

Wang Weidong arrived in the capital overnight by plane, and went to the Ministry to meet with Vice Minister Lu the next morning.

Seeing Wang Weidong walk into the office, Vice Minister Lu said with a smile: "Weidong, the Ministry of Relocation of Old Workers and Their Families is very concerned about it. After a lot of selection, we finally found a good place, not far from the capital, where we can escape the summer heat. Villa!"

Hearing what Vice Minister Lu said, Wang Weidong also said pleasantly: "That's right, knowing that the leaders care about them so much, those old workers don't know how touched they are!"

Vice Minister Lu said with emotion: "Those old workers have dedicated their lives to the country, and we can't treat them too badly! We finally found such a good place. In fact, there used to be several arsenals there, some of which have moved away, and some It is being relocated, so there are many factories and residential buildings left, and we can arrange them."

"What does the leader mean that Xiangyang Electronics can arrange all these old workers without paying?" Wang Weidong asked in disbelief.

Vice Minister Lu squeezed his thumb and index finger together and said: "A little bit, you Xiangyang Electronics can take out a little more! I have work today and tomorrow, and I will take you there to have a look the day after tomorrow."

Two days later, Vice Minister Lu took his secretary and Wang Weidong in a car and headed north from the capital.

The resettlement site Vice Minister Lu mentioned was a summer resort, but of course it was not a real summer resort, but a ravine only tens of kilometers away from the summer resort.

From the 60s to the 70s, several arsenals were built in the ravines in this area, producing military supplies such as military rubber shoes, tents and sleeping bags.

Since the end of the 80s, these factories have been relocated one after another, leaving empty factory areas and residential buildings.

Wang Weidong felt that although it was also a ravine, the conditions here should be much better than those of the Yuanzheng Machinery Factory. After all, it is much more comfortable in winter with heating.

The car was bumping on the dilapidated concrete road.

Vice Minister Lu said with a smile: "The factory has not been maintained since it was moved away, and the cement roads are broken. When the war was fought in the south in the 80s, the factory area was very busy, and people worked overtime day and night! Fighting in the jungle, yes The requirements for rubber shoes are very high!"

Vice Minister Lu said to the driver: "Drive directly into the residential area, there is no one there anyway."

Soon, rows of low residential buildings appeared in front of them, and all they could see were dark windows.

Vice Minister Lu's face became very gloomy.

The secretary said in a low voice, "It hasn't been lived in for a year or two, and it's likely that the nearby villagers have removed all the windows."

Vice Minister Lu said in a low voice: "What quality! What quality!"

The car stopped, Vice Minister Lu, Wang Weidong and the secretary got out of the car and walked to the nearest residential building.

Wang Weidong worked in the Xiangyang Chemical Factory since he was a child.Xiangyang Chemical Factory was built in the early 50s with the help of the big brother from the northern country. The factory buildings, office buildings and residential buildings all have obvious Soviet style.

It stands to reason that the residential building in front of me was built in the 70s and should be better and newer than the building built in the 50s.

But the actual situation is much worse than the residential building in the 50s where Wang Weidong once lived.Even if you look at it from the outside, there is a lot of difference in floor height. The three-story residential building feels only as tall as the two-story residential building of Xiangyang Chemical Factory.

It is also easy to understand that when the factory was built in the 60s and 70s, it was the most difficult period for the country, and not much money was spent on workers' living security.

Walking into the dark building door, Vice Minister Lu immediately smelled a pungent smell of urine and excrement.Dozens of flies soared into the sky, but there were still a few flies reluctantly lying on the feces.

Although the factory is deserted, it must still be frequented by people.The window and door panels can be taken back and used, except that the house cannot be moved away, and you can just find a little scrap copper and rotten iron to exchange for money.

Without the obstruction of the door panel, Vice Minister Lu walked into a room on the first floor with his hands behind his back.

There were still a few splashes of feces and urine on the ground, but they had dried up over time, turning the urine into a map, and the wires buried in the wall were stretched out, leaving scars on the wall.

Of course, the heating and water pipes installed in the room were also removed, and the room was in a mess.

Vice Minister Lu's expression became even uglier, but he immediately squeezed out a smile and said to Wang Weidong: "Weidong, although the house is a bit broken, as long as the windows and doors are fixed, and the heating and water pipes are reinstalled, it will be ready for use. No matter what, it’s much better than the big valley of Yuanzheng Machinery Factory, right? You can find a suitable office building here to renovate and renovate, and move a hospital from Yuanzheng Machinery Factory here, in addition to giving hundreds of old workers For services, it can also serve the farmers in the nearby countryside.”

"This floor is really too low. I can touch the ceiling with my hands when I jump a little. It's too depressing to live here, and it's too dilapidated! We Xiangyang Electronics are willing to spend hundreds of thousands to rebuild two spacious and bright residential buildings, All those old workers who have contributed their whole lives to the country will be placed there!" Wang Weidong said.

Hearing what Wang Weidong said, Vice Minister Lu looked at Wang Weidong for a long time, then stretched out his hand and patted Wang Weidong's shoulder twice.

After walking out of the residential building, Deputy Minister Lu looked at the factory area with his hands behind his back and felt very moved.

Wang Weidong said: "Vice Minister Lu, we at Xiangyang Electronics have built houses for these old workers, and you have to do follow-up work to solve the land problem for building houses. This will facilitate the handling of real estate certificates and other procedures for these old workers in the future. It's a fortune in the hands of these old workers. Of course, I hope that the land area allocated to us for construction should be as large as possible. It can't just have a place to live, but can build a garden activity room and the like. The hospital There must also be procedures for building on land, and it must not be muddled, otherwise it will be unclear in the future.”

Vice Minister Lu nodded and said, "Wei Dong, I know what you are worried about. You are worried that after you build the building, someone will stand up and say that this land is not yours. Don't worry, the land in this valley is worthless at all. , and no one is robbing you! I’ll go back and discuss it with the Ministry, and try to give you a larger land area, so you can toss as much as possible!”

In the end, Vice Minister Lu patted Wang Weidong on the back twice and said with emotion: "Weidong, do you still remember? The two of us met in [-], when I worked at Xiangyang Chemical Factory Factory director, because of the military-to-civilian purchase of your radio factory, I actually had a lot of thoughts about you at the time! To be honest, I thought you were a mercenary at the time! But I changed my opinion in the past two years , you handed over the electron tube technology to the Ministry, and now you are relocating those old workers for free. Very good! It seems that you are a generous person, and it would be great if private entrepreneurs can be like you!"
