National Tide 1980

After learning the real inside story, Director Li was so angry that he just wanted to kill someone.

Damn it, these idiots don't do anything serious. They think about how to poach socialism every day. I really want to shoot them.

But the problem is that this is a special situation created by the current environment, and it is universal.

Don't talk about him, in fact, even the mayor can't control it.

Among other things, two days ago, the city government held a working meeting on the utilization of foreign capital.

City leaders emphasized two points at this meeting and issued work instructions as follows:

First, Beijing’s investment policies have changed, and the investment environment must be improved as soon as possible to provide more preferential treatment to foreign investors.

Second, the direction of attracting foreign investment has changed, from mainly non-production enterprises to mainly production-oriented and foreign exchange-earning enterprises.

This is tantamount to saying that the work of attracting foreign investment ranks high in the municipal government's work sequence, and has become an important criterion for considering the performance of relevant units at all levels.

This shows how eager the municipal government is for foreign investment.

I really want to give what I have in my hands "with both hands" in exchange for funds, experience, technology, market... political achievements.

This is a kind of helplessness, and it is also the inevitable pain caused by excessive backwardness.

If you act too hastily and seek too much, you are bound to suffer losses.

But then again, if you don’t suffer losses and don’t take advantage of others, why should foreigners invest?

Relatively speaking, in fact, most backward areas across the country do not even have this opportunity to "suffer", which is the real pain.

The same reason, under this premise.

Although there are many confusions and even cunning in the specific operation process of attracting foreign investment, the national tax revenue has suffered considerable losses.

But for the overall situation of economic development, in order to get rid of poverty as soon as possible and find the direction of getting rich.

Until a better solution is introduced, local governments cannot afford to give up on food.

Even out of fear of throwing rats away, we dare not care too much or interfere.

We can only tolerate these little fleas jumping around for the time being, and we have to wait until later to draw lists and calculate the general ledger.

All in all, this kind of thing is annoying, but currently no one has a particularly good way to completely ban it.

Otherwise, the country would not have hesitated repeatedly this year, repeatedly announcing that it would cancel foreign exchange coupons, but then daring to implement it.

After all, there are too many institutional problems, and it is impossible to solve them all at once.

Is the old saying true? There are no fish in clear water ponds. If you want to do something, you have to focus on the big and let go of the small. It is right to resolve the main contradiction first.

So he lost his temper in private and waited until Director Li calmed down.

He also found that he had absolutely no clue about these companies and had to endure his anger for a while.

The most urgent task at the moment is actually to appease Ning Weimin first, don't let this financial backer escape, and then find a way to facilitate this matter.

In this way, in order to quell Ning Weimin's dissatisfaction, Director Li not only took the blame for several companies, but also put in good words for several companies.

I was very sorry to tell Ning Weimin that it was all my fault that things turned out like this because I didn't understand the situation at the grassroots level and didn't understand the stakes involved.

These companies are eager for quick success and short-sighted, and should indeed be criticized.

But from a business point of view, there is also some compatibility.

Because this is all caused by the fact that companies were tied too harshly in the past.

For many years, the Light Industry Bureau's profits from these enterprises have been fully turned over, without even a small treasury.

Although businesses are now being liberalized, businesses are so poor that they are frightened and naturally unable to resist the temptation to make quick money.

Therefore, Director Li asked Ning Weimin not to worry and asked him to give him a few days to do ideological work on these enterprises.

Director Li believes that as long as they can truly understand the advanced nature of trolley suitcases and see the broad market prospects of this product, these companies will definitely be willing to cooperate and will definitely make trolley suitcases for Ning Weimin.

In fact, Director Li's explanation to Ning Weimin was completely redundant.

In this matter, Ning Weimin sees things more clearly and understands them more thoroughly than Director Li.

If he didn't understand these corporate ideas, he still had certain illusions.

I have even thought about whether the company sees me as a person, so it doesn’t trust the strength of my company?

Is your price a bit low? Can you add some more OEM fees?

But when he truly understood the inside story, he no longer had any interest in cooperating with these companies.

Because he was completely disappointed with the leadership teams of these companies and could not trust such companies at all.

In this era, the term "corporate culture" does not exist in Mainland China.

However, enterprises in the Republic also pay attention to hard work, and also care about historical inheritance and sense of honor.

No matter from which point of view, with such evil-minded factory leaders, such a company will not be much better in the future, no matter how many honors it has had in the past.

What's more, Ning Weimin's customized trolley suitcase is to be sold in Japan, and the production quality must be guaranteed.

To achieve quality standards, although advanced equipment and worker skills are required, it is even more indispensable that production companies must have a certain sense of responsibility and ethics.

And for the sake of money, companies that want to poach their own country and want to collude with foreigners, will they still have a sense of responsibility?

What about moral integrity?

To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin felt guilty before giving orders to these companies even after he knew how corrupt they were.

I am worried that if I am not careful, I will support several traitor companies.

Yes, although Ning Weimin himself also approached underground banks and asked Axia to "bring" domestic funds to Japan.

In terms of nature, there is no difference between him and these people who eat quotas in taking advantage of the country's loopholes. It seems that they are laughing at the same time.

But the key is that when he makes money outside, he will give it back to his hometown.

The purpose is to bring back more foreign exchange so that the country can gain greater benefits.

But what about these people?

Ning Weimin does not believe that after these companies grow, they will change their ideas and use the wealth they earn to make any beneficial contributions to the country and society.

What's more, having said that, rushing up is not a business.

If someone was using a cold butt against him, why would he put a hot face against it?

Yes, he is indeed not a foreign businessman.

But with his current energy, everyone in Tokyo, Japan, where he is unfamiliar, admires him, and the little devils rush to fawn over him.

It makes no sense for him to go back to his hometown and instead have to take such a big order and beg others to make money from him.

In that case, wouldn't he be a bitch?

These state-owned enterprise bosses don’t understand that the world has changed and they haven’t been beaten by the market economy.

Then wait for the storm that is coming soon!

So Ning Weimin bluntly rejected Director Li's proposal and made other suggestions.

"As the old saying goes, hard work is not sweet. Although these companies have good conditions and are not small in scale, the threshold is also high. Since they have their own plans, I can't force them to do it. But Li Chu, I definitely don’t mean to blame you. I also grew up under the red flag and came out of the capital. Of course I know what’s going on between our bureau and the company. I can understand the difficulty of being caught in the middle. And Don't worry, I don't mean to terminate the cooperation. I just want to ask if there are any alternative manufacturers. Is there any company in the bureau that has excellent quality, but the products are not popular, resulting in poor profitability? Do you also Can you introduce it to me? Doing business is actually no different from falling in love and getting married. It has to be consensual and well-matched, so that it can last long..."

As soon as Ning Weimin said this, Director Li knew that he was really angry.

Even though he looks smiling on the outside, he really has a grudge in his heart.

But Ning Weimin still wants to cooperate, which is a good thing.

Director Li thought again and realized that he was not being tricked by several companies and had to help them count their money.

He is the director, not a "mean director".

Then just change it. In fact, it doesn't matter if you switch to another company. Anyway, they are all subordinates of the Light Industry Bureau.

So he no longer pretended to be a good old man, tried to save something, and spoke for those companies.

It's just that after all, he has been personally working on this cooperation project, and when he was doing the research, he had a basic understanding of the situation of all the subordinate companies in the bureau that were suitable for this project.

In Director Li's impression, these three companies are the most suitable. Compared with them, other factories are much smaller.

For this reason, it is inevitable to have concerns, and we must put vilification at the forefront.

"Yes, there are, but other factories are not at the same level as these factories in terms of equipment and conditions. To be honest, those factories are all small factories and have never produced products for foreign trade orders. They are all sold domestically, and the current efficiency is not good. I am afraid that the things they produce will not meet the standards you need..."

However, unexpectedly, when Ning Weimin heard this, instead of retreating, he actually persuaded him.

"Oh, it's okay. Let's go take a look and talk about it. Li Chu, you don't have to worry about it. The advanced nature of my trolley suitcase actually just lies in the structure. There is nothing too difficult about the craftsmanship and materials. I think As long as the factory leaders are responsible and want to run the factory well, it doesn't matter if the factory is smaller and the equipment is inferior in the new stage. Even if the production capacity is not enough at the beginning, if there is money to be made, can't it be expanded? What I hope is long-term cooperation. What's more, for you, if you can pull up a small factory, I believe that your contribution to promoting this will be much greater than adding icing on the cake to a big factory, right?"

Hey, Ning Weimin talked about this.

That being the case, what else is there to say?

Director Li has to do his best both in public and private matters.

But not to mention, this time Ning Weimin went to several factories for on-site inspections. He was not disappointed, and even had a surprise.

Because the Fur and Leather Industry Company, which is also under the Light Industry Bureau, Ning Weimin's eyes lit up with the existence of the Beijing Leather Factory No. 3, which specializes in producing schoolbags.

As for what interests Ning Weimin more, it is neither how good the equipment of this factory is, nor how high-quality the employees of this factory are.

But this factory has a very unique director who, like a miracle, is supported by all the workers.

To be honest, this small factory should be regarded as a grandson of the Light Industry Bureau. Its basic conditions are the worst among all the factories Ning Weimin has ever seen with Director Li.

In terms of heads, there are only a few hundred and twenty people.

The plant and equipment are also old hat.

When it rains in summer, workers often have to worry about leaks in factories. Some workshops even have to wear raincoats to work.

Especially because of its single product range, this factory only produces military satchels and artificial leather handbags.

Products cannot be sold, resulting in a backlog and losses year after year.

Last year, it was almost impossible to pay wages, leaving workers unable to take the blame.

When it comes to business difficulties, even the blasting equipment factory in Shenyang that just went bankrupt is better than them.

At least their liabilities are only two-thirds of their assets.

And this Beijing Leather Goods Factory No. 3, which only produces two outdated products, has actually been insolvent for a long time.

It was only because the superior company, the Leather and Fur Company, was a large government office, and the factory took advantage of the small number of people, that it could barely survive.

Needless to say, this factory is a big burden for the leather and fur company.

Therefore, in order to solve the problems of this factory, the Leather and Fur Company has repeatedly carried out reforms in the factory since the establishment of the policy.

Unfortunately, there were very few results, and everything failed in terms of financial management and new product development.

Last year, Leather \u0026 Fur Co. couldn't take it anymore.

I just want to close the factory for a while and let the factory workers go home with 70% of their wages and wait for arrangements.

As a result, because of this decision, Sun Dasheng was provoked who dared to make trouble in the palace in public.

The man who dared to oppose the decision of the Leather and Fur Corporation in public was named Cheng Zhi.

He was an educated youth who returned to the city at the age of 28. He returned to the city from Fangshan in 1982, took over his mother's position, and came to this factory.

According to him, the workers in the factory are all poor people, and it is hard enough without bonuses.

If wages are reduced further, everyone will not be able to survive.

With these words, he immediately won the collective support of all workers.

But the people at the leather and fur company were impatient, thinking that this kid was deliberately causing trouble.

The factory leaders did not dare to let Cheng Zhi run wild. They were afraid of offending the superior leaders of the leather and fur company, so they planned to suppress it on the spot.

Unexpectedly, at this point, Cheng Zhi, who dared to tell the truth, had already risked his life.

He openly challenged the company on the spot and scolded the factory leadership team for being incompetent. Then he would flatter the leaders and eat all kinds of things, making everyone live a miserable life.

He scolded the head office for making people unclear and allowed a few idiots to "maintain government power" in the factory. He claimed that if he were the director of the factory, the factory would never be like this.

Unexpectedly, even though the factory leaders were scolded by him, they were disgraced and disgraced.

But the people from the Leather and Fur Company took it seriously and asked him on the spot what he could do to say such a thing?

Cheng Zhi was not afraid and said, don't worry about it, as long as you let me be the director of the factory.

I don't need any more money from your company, so I am confident that I can turn the factory around and achieve the annual profit of 50,000 yuan.

Just like that, a few days later, the leather and fur company actually called Cheng Zhi to the company and asked him to sign a painting as the factory director.

He probably wanted to kill Ma Quan and become a living doctor.

But what the people at the Leather and Fur Company didn't expect was that although Cheng Zhi didn't back down, he made an excessive request that was considered outrageous in this era.

That is, he is willing to take care of the workers in the factory, but let all the eight original cadres leave, and these people will be placed by the leather and fur company.

What happened next was even more unexpected. After discussions at a meeting, the leather and fur company actually agreed.

No matter how indignant and opposed the eight cadres of the No. 3 Leather Goods Factory were, they were all transferred.

And this Cheng Zhi became the king of the third leather goods factory.

But this kid really has some skills, and he's not just a fake person who just talks without practicing.

After he took over the power of the factory, he mobilized all employees to sell part of the overstocked products at extremely low prices through various means to collect funds, and then made fashionable backpacks according to the style in Guangdong. .

Just like that, within half a year, the third leather goods factory really started to make profits, which also impressed the fur and leather companies.

However, because what Cheng Zhi did was an act of treason, he could not be rewarded for his contribution, and the fur and leather company could not even recognize it, lest it arouse the dissatisfaction of the leaders of other subordinate companies.

When Ning Weimin met the factory director, the Third Leather Goods Factory was almost in a wild state. It seemed that it had been completely forgotten by the fur and leather company, and it was completely isolated from the company system.

The mutual affiliation is basically a formality. As long as Cheng Zhi turns in profits on time, he doesn't even have to go to company meetings.
