Chapter 420 The Dilemma of the Sugar Factory

County sugar factory. Factory office building!
In the conference room, Liang Yukui stared gloomily at the large group of factory cadres below, and his rising and falling chest showed that he was in a very bad mood at this time.

"Xie Baojun, how did you become the head of the sales section? You sold more than 1000 tons of brown sugar and white sugar, but you didn't even get one-third of the payment back?"

A middle-aged man at the bottom of the conference table said with a grimace: "Director, I have already urged them, but the people in Beijing keep saying wait, wait."

"Wait a minute, the common people have already gathered around our factory, how do you want me to explain to them?" Liang Yukui shouted again.

Hearing this, the leaders of Yiqian Factory in the conference room fell silent again!

At this time, Liang Yukui's confidant Director Ge suddenly said: "Director, how about we borrow some money from the credit union to deal with the emergency?"

"Hmph, this is more than 30 yuan. How could the credit union lend us so much money at once!"

Then Liang Yukui added again: "Don't forget, we still owe the credit union 25 yuan!"

For a moment, the entire conference room fell into dead silence again!
Liang Yukui really didn't expect that the factory was running smoothly last year, but suddenly it wouldn't be able to this year.

On the one hand, the product cannot be sold, and on the other hand, the goods sold cannot be paid back.

Since the beginning of spring this year, their factory has not only not paid wages for more than two consecutive months, but many employees are almost unable to hold on.

More importantly, the money spent last fall to acquire Common People Beet Pimples was not paid.

Normally, this money is distributed to various production teams around the solar calendar every year.

However, due to the delay in settling this year's payment, the people have been delayed for three or four months.

In addition, people in many places are really having a hard time, and they are just waiting for this money to save their lives.

In desperation, these ordinary people flocked to the sugar factory to ask for an explanation!
Just when the low air pressure in the conference room was almost unbearable, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the conference room.

Liang Yukui frowned and said, "Come in!"

When he saw that it was his secretary who came in through the door, he immediately said, "What's the matter? Is there a meeting here?"

The little secretary heard that Liang Yukui was unhappy, and his expression changed instantly, but he still hurriedly explained: "Director, someone is looking for you!"

Liang Yukui slammed the conference table, and then said angrily: "No, I won't see whoever comes, get out of here."

"Director, Comrade Li Yi is here!"

Liang Yukui's furious voice stopped suddenly, and then asked after he calmed down: "You said Brother Li Yi is here, where is he?"

"It's right over there in your office."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yukui immediately stood up from his seat excitedly.

He remembered that Li Yi told him last year that the sugar factory had been having a hard time in recent years. But at that time, Li Yi only said that the factory's operation might encounter trouble, but did not say the specific time, so Liang Yukui didn't take it to heart. superior.

After all, he is being transferred from the enterprise to the government. Once this is done, the sugar factory will have nothing to do with him. What will happen in a few years?

But what he didn't expect was that the situation would deteriorate so quickly.

Thinking of Li Yi's unpredictable methods, Liang Yukui did not hesitate and immediately walked out of the conference room with long strides.

Just when everyone in the conference room was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Liang Yukui, who was walking to the door, suddenly stopped, and then said to everyone again: "Now that the meeting is temporarily adjourned, you should quickly find a way to raise money. This matter cannot be delayed any longer! "

After saying this, he walked out of the conference room.

When Liang Yukui returned to the office, he saw Li Yi standing at the door from a distance.

He then said excitedly: "Brother Li Yi, rare visitor, when did you come back?"

"Haha, I came back yesterday!" Li Yi said with a smile.

Liang Yukui opened the door and said, "Come on, sit down in the room quickly!"

After the two came to the office, Liang Yukui immediately took out the best tea and was about to make tea for Li Yi.

"Brother Liang, you'd better stop working and talk about those people outside your sugar factory!"

Just now, when Li Yi was downstairs, he had briefly asked the people about their purpose of coming here.

Although I don’t know why the sugar factory owes these people the beet money, I do know that the sugar factory must have encountered trouble, and it is probably related to its operation.Hearing Li Yi's words, Liang Yukui immediately stopped moving his hands, and then sighed and said: "The factory's capital chain is broken, and it owes the people a lot of money. I am worried about this!"

"Why did the capital chain suddenly break? Aren't your factory's products always selling well?" Li Yi frowned.

"We used to sell well, but after the spring of this year, many previous units suddenly stopped buying our candies!"

Then Liang Yukui continued: "The other thing is that the millions of goods sold before have not been paid back. As time goes by, our factory's capital chain will collapse!"

"In addition, the reconstruction of two production workshops of our factory last year consumed a lot of funds, which led to the shortage of funds this time."

"Then have you investigated why other units suddenly stopped buying your products?"

Liang Yukui immediately said: "After investigation, some units can no longer afford it because of poor efficiency, and some units have lower-priced sources of goods, so they no longer buy our products!"

"Right now, the rich companies don't want our candy? The companies that are willing to buy it don't have the money yet. That's the situation!"

After listening to Liang Yukui's words, Li Yi also fell into deep thought.

The state-owned sugar factory in Qingshan County was built under the "Third Five-Year Plan" industrial plan. Although its scale is not large, its products have been supplied to the Beijing-Tianjin area and its profits have been good.

At present, the sugar factory has nearly a thousand workers. At its peak, the sugar factory was producing 24 hours a day and night. The annual income of the sugar factory accounts for more than half of Qingshan County's fiscal revenue.

Unexpectedly, not long after it was re-opened, the operation of the sugar factory would encounter such serious problems.

Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately said: "Brother Liang, how much money do you owe the people in total now?"

"More than 30 yuan, plus two months' salary for the employees, which is almost more than 6 yuan!"

"36, which is not much. Let me give you a warning now. Get through the current Nanguan first!" Li Yi said.

Liang Yukui's eyes suddenly lit up and he said hurriedly: "What's your idea?"

"If your factory has no money, you can use sugar to pay off the debts of the people!"

"Is it possible to use sugar to pay debts? How can ordinary people use so much sugar?" Liang Yukui frowned.

"You will definitely not be able to use it, but the people can sell the candy they get!"

Then Li Yi said again: "Of course, when you pay off debts, the price of sugar must be lower to make it profitable for the people!"

"What is the appropriate price for this or that?" Liang Yukui asked.

"Brother Liang, how much does it cost per pound for your sugar to sell to supply and marketing cooperatives and other units in the capital?"

"About 6 cents!"

"Then let's set it at 6 cents per pound!"

As far as Li Yi knows, sugar is still a relatively scarce material in the vast rural areas. Many people have people in confinement or need to replenish their health. If they want to get some sugar, they have to ask their grandparents.

Moreover, a pound of sugar from the county supply and marketing cooperative costs at least 9 cents, and you need to have sugar stamps to do so.

If the sugar factory uses sugar to pay off the debts of the people at a price of [-] cents per catty, the people will definitely be willing to pay the price difference of [-] cents per catty.

In comparison, the sugar mills did not lose anything, they just transferred profits from the supply and marketing cooperatives to the people.

Liang Yukui thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll talk to the people outside about this!"

"Okay, but this is just a stop-gap measure. If you want to completely change this situation, you have to adjust your business model, otherwise the consequences will be serious!" Li Yi said.

"Then how should this business model be adjusted?" Liang Yukui asked hurriedly.

"Let's talk about this later. You should deal with the people outside first!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

After saying that, Liang Yukui hurriedly walked outside.

After Liang Yukui left, Li Yi fell into deep thought.
