Chapter 975: How can I control the country’s most important weapon?

Long Xingyuan lowered his head and was silent for a while. When he raised his head, he looked calm, "In fact, it won't cost 300 million. A few tens of millions will be enough. Can I borrow it from Yanhuang Group?

I previously acquired some old factories that were converted from the military to civilian use and placed them within listed companies. They were all tertiary industry factories such as bicycle factories, motorcycle factories, fire extinguisher factories, and refrigerator factories.

I think we should divest it now under the pretext of strengthening the main business, and then let the previously laid-off workers re-enter these tertiary industry factories to find a way to make a living.

All they need is some start-up capital, and their skills can support them.”

Qing Yun sighed, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness, "This is indeed an idea. Qinchuan Group can focus on its main business, and those tertiary production factories that have been divested can absorb laid-off workers. This is quite good."

At this point, he paused and changed the subject, "However, Chairman Long, forgive me for being blunt, with your status, you should not do these things, or you will be criticized.

This is not your personal responsibility, nor is it the responsibility of Qinchuan Group. "

The main theme at this time is to encourage laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises to achieve reemployment by entering non-public economic entities such as private enterprises, rather than returning to state-owned enterprises.

Qing Yun sighed and continued, "The state's policy on closing down and transferring state-owned enterprises is a reflection of the state's advocacy of the idea that 'state-owned enterprises are no longer iron rice bowls.'"

When Emperor Yun finished speaking, he himself couldn't help but feel a hint of ironic humor.

He shook his head and chuckled. "Speaking of this, I find it a little funny myself. I feel that my role seems more suitable to be exchanged with yours, Chairman Long."

After hearing Qing Yun's words, Long Xingyuan's face had a complicated expression, with a helpless smile and deep reflection.

He knew that what Qing Yun said was true, but the sense of responsibility and guilt towards these workers in his heart made it difficult for him to stay out of it.

"Mr. Xiaoqing, you may not understand my feelings very well," Long Xingyuan said slowly, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
"These people are not just laid-off workers, they are my fellow villagers, my friends who grew up with me, and my colleagues who I brought out of the factory myself. I feel their pain."

Qing Yun looked at Long Xingyuan with a hint of understanding in her eyes.

He knew that Long Xingyuan's feelings were not simply ones of responsibility or obligation, but deeper emotional entanglements and moral burdens.

"I understand, Chairman Long," Qing Yun responded seriously.

“But you also have to understand that change always involves sacrifice, which is inevitable in social development.

What we can do is try to ease the pain of these sacrifices rather than trying to shoulder all the responsibility.”

Long Xingyuan was silent. He knew that Qing Yun’s words made sense, but he still couldn’t calm down.

"Sacrifice? Inevitable? Hahahaha!"

Long Xingyuan suddenly burst into laughter crazily, and tears came out of his eyes.

That laughter was full of helplessness and indignation.

"Why!" he roared, emotionally. "Why should the sacrifice of reform be borne by these innocent workers? They have worked hard all their lives, and this is the result? Is this fair?"

"Layoffs, self-employment, unemployed, waiting for assignment, unemployed in the factory, long vacation, 'not looking for two jobs', reducing staff and increasing efficiency, smashing three irons, diversion...

Mr. Xiaoqing, have you heard of these terms? Do you know the difference between them?

I just want to ask, why is it that it is the so-called masters rather than the servants who are laid off and pay the price for the restructuring and reform?
Who should be held responsible for the poor performance of enterprises?
The responsibility for unreasonable industrial structure, unreasonable asset structure, unclear distinction between government and enterprises, and overstaffing lies first with government agencies and secondly with enterprise managers!
However, the blame for these problems is placed on the workers, who are made scapegoats and victims!"

His voice echoed in the empty street. There was no one there. Only the wind stopped and listened silently to Long Xingyuan's accusation.

“Are the employees really that bad? They are all veteran workers who have worked in the company for decades, love their factory and their families, and do their jobs conscientiously.

It is the managers who feed the laziness!
It is not the employees who are causing the company's recession. If we are to hold them accountable, the first ones to bear the brunt are the decision-makers of the company."

Long Xingyuan became more and more agitated, with tears glistening in his eyes.

"The prescription given to laid-off workers is re-employment, self-employment, and so-called entrepreneurship.

However, the only things that could be proposed were selling steamed buns and polishing shoes, and the training provided were hairdressing, sewing clothes, etc.

Those state-owned enterprise leaders who stayed behind received salaries dozens of times higher than before, sat in luxurious offices, drove luxury cars, ate lavish banquets, traveled and hired prostitutes, spending public money.

The Mr. Zou who is sitting diagonally opposite you today, Zou Shiyao, used to work at Sanqin Machinery. Look at him, he weighs 300 pounds.

Is this fucking reasonable?!"

Long Xingyuan's words were full of anger and dissatisfaction.

At this time, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. The sun disappeared without a trace at some point, the sky suddenly darkened, and countless lightning roared in the dark clouds.

Qing Yun and Long Xingyuan looked at the "Power of Audit" in the sky with horror, and Long Xingyuan's roar stopped abruptly.

But after about ten seconds, when Long Xingyuan shut up, the sky returned to the winter sunshine after the snow.

But there is no warm sunshine in winter.

Qing Yun was silent. He could feel the pain and helplessness in Long Xingyuan's heart.

"Brother Long, I understand your feelings and your difficulties." Qing Yun spoke slowly, with a hint of regret in his voice.
"You are great, but you may not have a good ending. If you do this, you will inevitably..."

Qing Yun thought that Long Xingyuan's behavior was extremely irrational.

He took a puff of cigarette, rubbed his nose, and his voice was full of worry. "Brother Long, you should know that, first, this is inconsistent with the main theme. The current policy direction is to promote the reform of state-owned enterprises and optimize resource allocation, rather than returning to the past practices.

Second, this is a complete denial of the achievements of the predecessor.

Although the old chairman has been removed from office, this achievement does not only belong to the old chairman.

Many decisions are the result of collective wisdom and the efforts of the entire Qinchuan Group."

He looked directly at Long Xingyuan, "Third, this is a blatant slap in the face of the entire government system of Sanqin Province.

What do they think? They will think, 'Why, only you, Long Xingyuan, are so capable, and we are all pigs, right?'

Such behavior will not only provoke unnecessary internal conflicts, but may also affect the Qinchuan Group and even your personal future. "

As Long Xingyuan listened to Qing Yun's words, the expression on his face gradually changed from excitement to contemplation.

"Boss Xiaoqing, I understand what you mean, and I definitely don't deny my predecessor's ideas."

At this point, he smiled bitterly and said, "The current situation of the domestic machine tool industry is that the high-end has been lost and the low-end is in chaos. The new Qinchuan must go into battle lightly. From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with the old chairman's approach.

only……"

Long Xingyuan took two puffs of his cigarette, looked up at the sky, and said in a hoarse voice, "Just seeing the current lives of those people who used to be around me... I haven't dared to go back to that home for seven years."

He sighed and patted Qingyun on the shoulder, "Mr. Qing, let's go. Let's go back. It will snow again soon."

The two were silent along the way, with only the crunching sound of the remaining snow under their feet accompanying their steps.

After a long time, Long Xingyuan suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Qing Yun with a curious look in his eyes.

Snowflakes landed lightly on his shoulders and he brushed them off gently, as if to clear the doubts in his mind.

"Mr. Xiaoqing, I'm very curious, why did you agree to exchange Changzhen Machinery for Qinchuan Electronics?"

Long Xingyuan asked, his tone revealing his doubts about the deal.

"I actually have some understanding of the board and card business that Qinchuan Electronics is engaged in.

Excuse me, there is no technical content here, these are all processing-on-commissioned material companies.

Machine tools are the most important equipment in our country. The milling machine of Changzhen Machinery is the treasure of our country. You may not know that the Dongfeng wheel of your Xishu... Alas! Sorry, I can't say that. "

Long Xingyuan was halfway through his speech when he suddenly realized that he had almost leaked a secret, so he stopped talking abruptly.

Emperor Yun rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

Even without Long Xingyuan telling him, he knew everything. It was just nuclear rotor slot milling...

This was mentioned in the previous life’s book “The Great Power’s Heavy Weapons”.

Qingyun knew in his heart that the value of Changzhen Machinery was far more than that.

As disclosed in previous lives, many aerospace components came from there.

It concerns national security and strategic interests.

On the other side, Long Xingyuan found it a little difficult to understand why Qing Yun took the initiative to separate the Changzhen machinery.

The machine tool industry is not easy to enter, and so far only Song Ruhua has succeeded in getting it.

He continued, "You have to know that when Song Ruhua took over Changzhen Machinery, a listed company, he did so under the banner of vigorously developing CNC machine tools, and the previous successful cases of TOP Group made the country willing to believe in it, which is how he succeeded."

Having said that, he curled his lips in annoyance.

Song Ruhua's bold move started a wave of reverse takeovers and backdoor listings.

Later everyone understood that Song Ruhua was just trying to make money.

But Qingyun is different.

In other words, Qing Yun could have done things completely differently from Song Ruhua.

He knew that this guy was really doing practical things.

The combination of hardware and software is actually what CNC machine tools are.

As a highly automated processing equipment, CNC machine tools achieve precise processing of workpieces through digital control technology.

Long Xingyuan felt that if there was anyone in the country who was better able to develop CNC machine tools, it must be the guy in front of him.

Therefore, he found it particularly difficult to understand why the young man chose to include Changzhen Machinery in the list of companies to be transferred as soon as he got TOP.

Qing Yun shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Precisely because Changzhen Machinery is a national treasure, it should not be managed by me."
