I want to be emperor

Chapter 898 Crazy Industry

Longdong Textile Co., Ltd. is an independent cotton yarn manufacturer with a history of more than ten years. It was considered a small well-known independent cotton yarn manufacturer in the Songjiang textile industry more than ten years ago.

Not long after the high-pressure steam engine appeared in those days, industrial high-pressure steam engines began to enter all walks of life. The Lin family, originally engaged in the cotton yarn sales industry, began to get involved in cotton yarn production. They bought the latest industrial high-pressure steam engines as power and built a new type of cotton yarn factory.

In the first two years, relying on the leading edge of equipment, coupled with the original cotton yarn sales channels of the Lin family, the days were very prosperous and made a lot of money. The scale even expanded to have multiple production lines and the number of employees reached more than a thousand. .

In Songjiang City back then, Longdong Textile Company was considered an independent cotton yarn factory.

However, as the owner of Longdong Textile Company, Mr. Lin's family, died of illness and failed to properly arrange the ownership of the family property before his death, the sons of the Lin family were not reconciled and began to compete for the family property.

As the Lin family fell into an internal asset scramble, Longdong Textile Company, one of the core assets of the Lin family, would inevitably be greatly affected.

The competition between the Lin brothers around the control of this core asset lasted for ten years, and it was not completely over until the mid-30s... The reason why the competition ended was not because the Lin brothers had a winner, but because The struggle between the Lin brothers made the operation of Longdong Textile Company increasingly difficult, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The high-level management of the enterprise changes frequently, and there is no clear business development plan, let alone such measures as research and development in the technical field and continuous purchase of new equipment.

After entering the 30s, Longdong Textile Co., Ltd. had declined from a well-known independent spinning mill in Songjiang City to a mediocre cotton yarn factory that suffered losses year after year.

High-level turbulence, the departure of technical backbones, the company's continuous loss, stop research and development in order to reduce costs, purchase equipment, lay off employees, etc... thus ushered in a vicious circle.

The Longdong Textile Company with a scale of more than 35 employees in the past had only more than 300 employees in the [-]th year of Chengshun, and its operating conditions were very bad, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy. The most core assets were bought, and then the brothers shared the money, and never had any contact with each other since then...

In the end, a financial investment company bought the cotton yarn company that was in trouble at a super low price. price difference...

It turned out that it was too difficult to rectify and required too much additional investment... The financial investment company saw that the situation was not good, and immediately stopped losses in time, and found a seller to change hands... Anyway, they didn't have much money when they bought this textile company Money, you can’t lose much money if you stop the loss in time. On the contrary, if you continue to invest funds to try to rectify and turn losses into profits, then it will be a bottomless pit...

It’s just that sellers are not so easy to find. At the time of Chengshun’s 35 years, the competition in the old-fashioned spinning industry was already very fierce. Although the market was very large and the room for growth was large enough, those were all large comprehensive textile companies and The matter of independent textile companies that are enterprising and have core technologies...they are full of food, but it does not mean that the management of Longdong Textile Company is turbulent, the technology is backward, and the spinning company that has not updated its equipment for more than ten years can also make money. money.

The operation of a large number of small and medium-sized textile companies is actually the same. It is not easy to maintain their own survival. How can they have the strength to annex Longdong Textile Company, which is on the verge of bankruptcy... and the powerful large textile companies and those with exclusive technology Even if they want to buy it, they are more inclined to wait for the complete bankruptcy and reorganization of Longdong Textile Company to buy their core assets at a cheaper price, such as the land where the factory is located... …

That's right, after more than ten years of continuous decline of Longdong Textile Company, the only thing left that is worthwhile is the land and factory buildings of the factory... But this land has already been mortgaged, otherwise the financial investment company would have It is impossible to buy this textile company at such a low price.

As for the equipment and so on, they are all old guys from more than ten years ago, and they are already behind the times and not worth a lot of money.

As for technology, not to mention those before R&D capabilities, if they really have this technical strength, they won't be on the verge of bankruptcy... They don't even have the technical backbone needed to maintain production.

So the financial investment company searched around and found that it couldn't be sold as a whole...

I thought about buying bottoms and reorganizing them to make a fortune... I didn't expect that the mess of Longyu Textile Company was even bigger than I imagined. Not only would it continue to lose money, but it couldn't even find a suitable seller.

And this was the 35th year of Chengshun... The situation became worse after 36 years of Chengshun, because the textile industry of the Great Chu Empire suddenly entered the era of new cotton yarn from this year.

With the new-generation spinning machine launched by Hantian Machinery Co., Ltd. as the core, together with a series of other new equipment, cotton yarn with better quality can be produced at a lower cost.

The emergence of new cotton yarn instantly brought the textile industry of the Great Chu Empire into the era of new cotton yarn. At this time, those old cotton mills that were operating well were faced with a serious survival crisis, let alone Longdong Textile Company, which was already on the verge of bankruptcy. up.

In the 36th year of Chengshun, Longdong Textile Company under the management of a financial investment company experienced huge losses, and turned from the brink of bankruptcy to insolvency.

The financial investment company took a look and thought, well, I'll just throw this money into the water for nothing... He simply bankrupted the textile company.

After 14 years of establishment, Longdong Textile Company ushered in the end of life and went bankrupt.

The company's bankruptcy directly attracted a lot of feathers, especially the company's creditors were even more scolding.

In order to recover the debts, the creditors formed a team of creditors to take over the company for reorganization... Although the company is insolvent, the creditors are definitely going to lose blood, but no matter what, they need to get back some blood...

So I started looking for sellers all over the world to take over.

However, Longdong Textile Company still has some family background. Its core land and factory assets are still relatively valuable. Although they have been mortgaged, this kind of high-quality industrial land near the Beicheng Industrial Zone is still worth a lot of money. .

In addition, Longdong Textile Company has hundreds of skilled workers. These workers are an extremely heavy burden in the eyes of financial investment companies, but they are high-quality assets in the eyes of some peer companies with expansion ambitions. After all, no training is required, and they are directly used It can be thrown into the production line to squeeze out the surplus value.

Although the production line is not worth a lot of money because of the old equipment, it is somewhat worth it.

Finally, Longdong Textile Company also has an intangible asset, that is, they still have a relatively complete cotton yarn sales system. After all, the Lin family, the former owner of Longdong Textile Company, started with cotton yarn trade, and later its trade channels were also similar to those of Longdong Textile Company. The production companies of textile companies were merged.

Therefore, Longdong Textile Company has its own independent cotton yarn sales channels, and their sales channels are not mainly medium and large textile companies, but small urban and rural weaving factories and even rural terminal retail.

Under such circumstances, the bankruptcy reorganization and sale of Longdong Textile Co., Ltd. has also attracted the attention of many textile companies... Although Longdong Textile Co., Ltd.'s cotton yarn production business is no longer profitable or even at a loss, it still has some assets worth buying.

The most important thing is that the bankruptcy and reorganization of Longdong Textile Company is cheap... The creditors only want to reduce their losses, but they don't plan to make a fortune like the previous financial investment company.

Wang Liqing of Anhua Textile Co., Ltd. also took a fancy to this textile company that went bankrupt and reorganized and was looking for a buyer again.

What Wang Liqing set his eyes on was the factory building they had built on their own land in Beicheng District, and hundreds of skilled workers.

In the past two years, Anhua Textile Co., Ltd. has made a lot of money relying on the new cotton yarn business of Zaozao Xinjun. Relying on high profits, it has been expanding rapidly. It first expanded in its own factory, but the land where Anhua Textile Co., Ltd. is located is very fast. Just use up.

And it is impossible to increase the factory buildings in the surrounding areas. The surrounding companies are all doing well, but they will not give up the factories to you.

So Wang Liqing could only focus on the outside, but in order to coordinate with the headquarters and facilitate control, Wang Liqing's goal was still in the northern city area.

Under such circumstances, Longdong Textile Company, which was sold out of bankruptcy, came into his vision.

After more than a month of negotiations with creditors, Wang Liqing finally won Longdong Textile Company over other competitors.

This time the acquisition of Wang Liqing was very generous, and it was different from other bidders who hoped to buy it at a bargain price first, and then use the future operating income of Longdong Textile Company to repay the debt.

Wang Liqing made a condition that the creditor could not refuse: pay all debts directly in cash... Of course, this debt is not repaid in full proportion, but a [-]% discount, and it must be paid in installments.

This is equivalent to Wang Liqing accepting these debts with Anton Textile Company, and then obtained Longdong Textile Company without debt.

Although the creditor has lost a lot, he can recover [-]% of his blood anyway, and it is not a big problem to pay in installments!

Most importantly, Anton Textile Company is very hot nowadays, don't worry about them not being able to pay back the money!

The same textile company whose main business is spinning, Longdong Textile Company is compared with Anhua Textile Company, that is, there is a sky and an underground.

Longdong Textile Company went bankrupt and reorganized.

On the other hand, Anhua Textile Co., Ltd. relied on its early entry into new cotton yarn to continue to grow and develop, and its development speed even surpassed several major competitors.

Because Anhua Textile Company focuses on the cotton yarn industry, it is not like several other competitors. When the new cotton yarn makes money, it wants to enter the downstream industries such as cloth and printing and dyeing to obtain more profits...

In doing so, it actually aroused the vigilance of the main customers of cotton yarn manufacturers, that is, those independent cloth manufacturers!
One's own supplier becomes a competitor... No one is happy!
This is not the case for Anton Textile Company. They focus on cotton yarn production and are dedicated to being an independent cotton yarn manufacturer. They do not enter the downstream industry, that is, the weaving industry. This has also won the welcome of more independent weaving manufacturers and comprehensive textile companies.

At least there is no need to worry that Anton Textile Company will become its own competitor... and then use the new cotton yarn production capacity to gain a competitive advantage in the competition process.

So you don't have to hesitate too much when placing an order... Don't worry about your own order cultivating a strong competitor.

The excellent market competitiveness of the new type of cotton yarn, coupled with the management strategy of Anton Textile Co., Ltd. as an independent cotton yarn manufacturer, has allowed them to achieve rapid development in the past two years, and now they are the top three independent cotton yarn manufacturers in Songjiang City.

Its customers are all over Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Jiangbei, and Yingtian. Its customer base not only includes a large number of small and medium independent weaving manufacturers, but also many medium and large comprehensive textile enterprises have become their customers...

No way, the current new type cotton yarn is the main direction of the market, but the growth rate of the output of new type cotton yarn cannot keep up with the growth rate of market demand.

The production of new cotton yarn equipment is limited, and the relevant professionals are also limited. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for even some large-scale integrated textile companies to expand and increase their own new cotton yarn production.

In order to meet their own demand for new cotton yarn, these large integrated textile companies have to purchase new cotton yarn from independent cotton yarn manufacturers in the market.

This is still a large comprehensive textile company. If it is a medium-sized comprehensive textile company with weaker strength, many of them do not even have the production capacity of new cotton yarn... Now the relevant technical talents in the field of new cotton yarn are very scarce, and the output of equipment is also very low. It’s not high, it’s not that if you want to produce new cotton yarn, you can produce new cotton yarn.

The two major problems of equipment and talents have to stump a large number of small and medium-sized textile companies...

If the enterprise insists on doing it, it is not impossible. You spend a super high price on the equipment, and it is not impossible to buy... [-] sets of equipment, you can’t buy [-], [-] or you can’t buy it, but what you give [-] or even [-], Songjiang Machinery Company is happy to give you priority in supplying goods!
You directly pay high prices for talents, give talents three to five times the salary, and then pay the liquidated damages of the non-compete agreement. It is also very simple to recruit talents.

However, the cost of the new cotton yarn production line piled up at such a high cost will also rise to an astonishing level... You can't lose it!
Wang Liqing took advantage of the first-mover advantage and started to cultivate talents early on. Sun Xu is the result of his talent training. Besides Sun Xu, there are actually more than a dozen professionals in the field of new cotton yarn who are equally high and low.

In terms of equipment, in addition to ordering the products of Hantian Machinery Company early, it reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Songjiang No. [-] Machinery Company, which has obtained the technical authorization of new spinning equipment, at the first time. Just spend a lot of money and book directly.

Such a large-scale reservation also makes Anhua Way Company a strategic partner of Songjiang Third Machinery Company. Like a few well-known large-scale comprehensive textile companies, it has the priority to purchase new cotton yarn equipment.

And Songjiang No. [-] Machinery Company is the only authorized manufacturer of new cotton yarn equipment of Hantian Machinery Company in the southeast region...

Textile enterprises located in the Yangtze River Delta, if they cannot directly purchase equipment from Hantian Machinery Company, and cannot purchase new cotton yarn equipment from Songjiang No. [-] Machinery Company, then basically don’t count on it...

Although patent-licensed machinery manufacturers in other regions also have production capacity, they have already been covered by local textile companies, let alone you.

The new cotton yarn equipment produced by Songjiang No. [-] Machinery Company, except for a few super-large comprehensive textile companies such as Suqin Textile Company, the rest are all covered by several large independent cotton yarn manufacturers in Songjiang City. Among them, Anhua Textile Company The priority ranking in it is not low.

As for other small and medium-sized integrated textile companies and independent cotton yarn manufacturers... At this time, even if he has money, he cannot buy new cotton yarn equipment.

If the new cotton yarn business these days is printing money, then the upstream new cotton yarn equipment is the money printing machine...not something you can buy if you want it.

Either it has absolute strength, such as a giant like Su Qin Textile Company, even Hantian Machinery Company has to take the initiative to sell banknote printing machines... To be honest, there were no two giants such as Su Qin Textile Company and Hantian Textile Company back then. If Wuba Enterprise adopts new cotton yarn, promotes new cotton yarn to the market, and formulates a series of new cotton yarn industry standards, it is still a question whether the new cotton yarn can be promoted.

After all, in many cases, good products do not necessarily sell well... Without the endorsement of giants and the formulation of industry rules, a large number of small and medium-sized manufacturers simply ignore you, and even if they want to, it is useless because industry standards are inconsistent. The product standards produced are incompatible with the market.

You must know that this is an era of industrialization. There are a large number of recognized industry standards in all walks of life... The industry standards do not meet, even the equipment is not compatible. Still playing fart...

Therefore, giants such as Suqin Textile Company and Hantian Textile Company stand at the top of the textile industry. By setting industry standards, they can easily eat the most lucrative profits. Even Hantian Machinery Company, which produces banknote printing machines, If you want your own banknote printing machine to enter the market, you have to give them a trial first to see if the new banknotes produced are strong or not.

In addition to the giants like Su Qin Textile Company, those who were able to obtain enough equipment in the two years after the new cotton yarn came out were a small number of companies that saw the opportunity and entered the market early.

For example, Anton Textile Company and several major independent cotton yarn competitors saw the opportunity early, and then gritted their teeth at Songjiang No. When you understand, just spend a lot of money to make a reservation.

In this way, a large amount of research and development funds was directly sent to Songjiang Third Machinery Company to help them complete technology digestion as soon as possible and put it into production as soon as possible, and then obtained the priority purchase right based on this.

For other companies, I'm sorry. Before the output of new cotton yarn equipment comes up, basically don't expect to be able to obtain corresponding new cotton yarn equipment in large quantities.

Based on this, Anhua Textile Co., Ltd. started the road of take-off and expansion.

The acquisition of Longdong Textile Company is one of the important strategies.

Although Longdong Textile Company went bankrupt due to poor management, in Wang Liqing's view, or from the perspective of Anhua Textile Company, it is still a very worthwhile acquisition target... First of all, it is cheap, and it can also pay debts and installments Payment.

At the same time, this bankrupt textile company owns the factory building and land used by the factory located in the core industrial zone of Beicheng District. The land and land are enough to accommodate multiple production lines and more than 1000 employees.

This point alone is worth Wang Liqing's hands.

In addition, there are more than 300 skilled workers, which can save the training time of workers, and can be put into production directly after the equipment is in place, installed and debugged.

Under such circumstances, Longdong Textile Company was fully acquired by Anhua Textile Company and became the second branch of Anhua Textile Company. The name Longdong Textile Company completely disappeared from history.

In order to operate the second branch factory, Anhua Textile Company transferred a group of managers and technicians from the headquarters, and a team of dozens of people in total entered the second branch factory.

Among them is Sun Xu, the chief of the mechanical repair department of the second branch factory, and a mechanic repair team of more than 20 people led by him. Not all the mechanics in this mechanic repair team will be transferred to the second branch factory. Most of them are only temporarily seconded, and they will return to the main factory after the installation and commissioning of the first batch of equipment is completed and they are on track.

In the end, only Sun Xu, two team leaders, and eight ordinary mechanics remained in the mechanic repair team.

A mechanical repair team of only eleven people is naturally not enough... After all, according to the plan, the number of employees of the second branch factory can reach more than 800 after the first phase of production, and if it goes well in the future, it will continue to expand until the The factory's land and factory buildings are used up, and the total number of employees may reach a thousand people.

Therefore, before the seconded mechanics from the main factory go back, Sun Xu has to recruit a certain number of new mechanics from the talent market to enrich his team.

After all, his mechanical repair team will be in charge of the second branch factory with a scale of [-] people and a huge production capacity in the future. The number of equipment that needs to be installed, debugged, and maintained is not a small number.

Before the first batch of equipment arrived, Sun Xu hastily launched a talent recruitment plan. In order to recruit competent mechanics as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to go to the talent market many times to recruit.

It's a pity that after several days of recruitment, a mechanic who knows new cotton yarn equipment has not been recruited... let alone recruited, he has never seen it...

Mechanics who understand new cotton yarn equipment seem to have disappeared in the talent market!
Not to mention recruiting people, when he went to the talent market to recruit people, he was found out that he was a new mechanic in charge of new cotton yarn equipment, and that he was also the chief of the mechanic repair department of the second branch of Anhua Textile Company. A group of executives from a textile company came to the door to poach the wall...

In the follow-up, several bosses of textile companies personally came to try to poach jobs. They promised high salaries, the position of head of the machine repair team, and even a small boss said that they could even give shares...

It's a pity that the liquidated damages of the non-compete agreement on him are too high, the liquidated damages of more than 7 Chu Yuan is enough to dispel all thoughts of forcibly poaching corners...

Wang Liqing is not stupid, he can't dig out the technical backbone of other factories, and naturally it is impossible for others to dig out his own core technical backbone.

The new three-year guarantee contract, high salary and high benefits, also comes with a non-compete agreement of more than 7 yuan in liquidated damages.

But Section Chief Wang in the main factory woke him up when he heard about it: "If you find a new mechanic in the job market, I don't even have to lend you one!"

"And if it's so easy to find a new mechanic, can you still get the position of section chief in this branch?"

"Don't think about recruiting a new mechanic who can work as soon as he arrives, it's impossible... recruit newbies and train them slowly!"

"Talents are hard to come by these days!"

After hearing this, Sun Xu, combined with the fact that he has been in the talent market for the past few days... can be regarded as a deep understanding of why the boss Wang Liqing and his boss, Section Chief Wang, insisted on letting him come to be the section chief of the mechanical repair department of this branch, and his salary was doubled. Rich!
Dare to feel that this half-baked guy is already considered a top talent in the field of new cotton yarn...

To be honest, this made Sun Xu somewhat confused about the current development of the industry...

He has always been worried that after several years of rapid development in the industry, the value of relevant technical talents will rapidly depreciate, and then he will lose his salary or even become unemployed. For this reason, he has been very economical in the past two years, never extravagant and wasteful, just to save money quickly, The loan was paid off before the salary cut and unemployment.

But the reality keeps telling him that the industry is still very hot, and relevant technical talents are also very valuable.

This is really... Sun Xu doesn't know whether he is too conservative or people are too crazy!
