Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 204 The Wind Blows That Way

"By the way, I have already signed two contracts with Mr. Wang Dadong, the president of the Far East region of KFC, to supply eggs and chicken to KFC in Beijing and Xiangjiang respectively, and I have agreed with him that when the KFC in Shanghai opens, I will still supply it. Eggs and chicken! Raw materials can be supplied locally as soon as it opens, which is something that even the capital city has not done!" Li Lei knows what Shanghainese like to hear.

"Haha, it's all thanks to you!" Shanghai and BJ have always been the top cities in the country, and it is inevitable to compare things when encountering things. Now I heard that Shanghai has something better than BJ, even though it is just a small thing, Several leaders were very happy to hear that,

In addition to the farm, there is also a feed factory. These two enterprises are complementary, but they cannot be placed in the same place, so it took a few days to finalize the address of the feed factory. The affairs were handed over to Li Xinwang and Lei Yi.

The two of them are now Li Lei's best candidates for the preparation of breeding farms and feed factories. The two factories in Shanghai are so large that they need the most capable people to rest assured.

After staying for a few more days, after the two of them finished working with Shanghai and the work was officially on the right track, Li Lei just left, preparing to go to Hangzhou to build a new factory.

If you want to go to Hangzhou, you must say hello to Director Lu, or you will complain next time you see him, so after Li Lei came out of the train station, he saw a young man holding a sign to meet him at the exit. He walked over and saw that Director Lu was standing beside him.

"Haha, as soon as I heard that you were going to build a breeding farm in Hangzhou, I hoped that you would come here soon. Today is finally here; let's go to the building outside the building to try beggar's chicken and Mrs. Song's fish soup. I have made an appointment with a few local leaders, so if you have any requirements, it will be more convenient to raise them at the dinner table first!"

Lu Guanqiu really has nothing to say about his work and life. Li Lei just greeted him, and they took care of things for him properly.

"Brother Lu, you came to pick me up in person, but I can't bear it." Li Lei quickly stepped forward to shake hands and thanked him, then got into his car and went to the building outside the West Lake together.

This restaurant can be said to be the most famous time-honored restaurant in Hangzhou. It was founded in the reign of Daoguang and has a history of 140 years. It is famous at home and abroad for its fresh fish and live shrimp.

They hadn't finished get off work when they arrived at the building outside the building, so they ordered food first, then drank tea while admiring the beautiful scenery of West Lake, and chatted about issues that everyone cared about.

Soon the topic naturally shifted to the current hot issues. Just a few days ago, the first national list of outstanding entrepreneurs was announced. Twenty outstanding figures emerging from the reform of the contract system, including Guanwu and Feng Gensheng, director of Hangzhou No. [-] Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory, received this honor.

"Xiao Li, what do you think of this list? I can't see where the wind is blowing. If you want to talk about achievements, most of these people are famous in contracting. If you want to talk about their identities, these people are all state-owned enterprises. Yes." Lu Guanqiu asked.

Where does the so-called wind blow? In fact, he asked Li Lei, in which direction will the future reforms develop? Will it be more open or tightened?

Ordinary people just watch the news, but he definitely doesn't. He also wants to see something from the list of national outstanding entrepreneurs this time.

In the last selection of outstanding township entrepreneurs, although most of them were heads of collective enterprises, there were also private entrepreneurs like Li Lei and Liu Yonghao. None of the representatives of the enterprise, from this point of view, seems to have a tendency to tighten the policy.

However, these entrepreneurs are all supportive of reform. Ma Shengli implemented the contracting system at the SJZ Paper Mill. The rubber factory in the country was transformed into the largest tourist shoe manufacturer in the country, and the well-known brand Double Star was created. In addition to Double Star, Wang Hai also left a joke, that is, the state stipulated that only four dishes and one soup were allowed in the reception. , he set a precedent for using large pots to serve vegetables.

Others also have their own excellent reform deeds. From this point of view, the general direction seems to support the continuation of reform. The two seem to be somewhat contradictory, and Lu Guanqiu is a little confused.

"Reforms have achieved considerable results in recent years, but there have also been some problems, so I think in the long run, it will definitely become more and more open, but it is not impossible to take two steps back in a certain period of time. !” Li Lei commented cautiously.

"Overall, I'm still full of confidence in the reform. Otherwise, I wouldn't have built several new factories in one go, and now they're all on your site, Brother Lu!"

"Me too!" In fact, Lu Guanqiu and Li Lei have similar ideas, but they rarely talked about these things with people before, let alone confirmed their own ideas from others. Now that Li Lei said this, he Also let go of some worries a little.

Then he talked about his thinking on reform, "I have been observing and studying these years, and found that the overall quality of state-owned enterprises is higher than that of township enterprises, and their technical strength is stronger than that of township enterprises. But is it lower than township enterprises?"

"I think it is still a matter of corporate autonomy. Although the factory director responsibility system has been implemented, the powers related to the lifeblood of corporate development, such as personnel rights and investment rights, have not been completely released. Without these, companies will have no way to win in market competition. , let alone compete with foreign companies in the international market!"

Nowadays, there are not many business executives who dare to compete with foreign companies, but Lu Guanqiu can pat his chest and say that his universal joints are good, because he has already received orders from the Americans before, and the universal joints he produces are better than those of foreign companies. Many European and American companies are highly competitive.

"Contracting can't solve all problems. Just take me as an example. I am a private enterprise. As long as it is not illegal, I can have the final say on everything in the factory. Although contracting has a bit more authority than before, it is just like you. As I said, you still have to be restricted, the most important thing is that no one can guarantee that one day, with an order from your superiors, you will have to leave!" Li Lei paid attention to the change of Lu Guanqiu's demeanor when he spoke , when he said to leave, he obviously saw Lu Guanqiu's eyebrows trembling.

It seems that he has already foreseen this problem, although he has absolute leadership in Wanxiang, although he is very good at handling interpersonal relationships, and the relationship with the local leaders is very good!But theoretically speaking, Wanxiang still belongs to the local government in terms of property rights, and the local government can really let him go with a single official document, even if Wanxiang was brought up by him.

"Hey, I'm really not reconciled if this is the case. It would be fine if Wanxiang was built by the state like other factories. The problem is not! Wanxiang was started by me with 4000 yuan borrowed from others. It was me. Riding bicycles through the streets and alleys to collect scrap steel was developed, and it was impossible to hang it under the name of the township government, who would not allow private companies to set up factories back then?" If it was because the government had to be named, in the end But was driven away, Lu Guanqiu probably couldn't figure it out no matter what.

"These are all problems left over from history, and it's difficult to deal with!" Li Lei sighed. He was not the same as Godfather Liu. Lenovo was not founded by Godfather Liu, but Wanxiang was built brick by brick by Lu Guanqiu. .

"You just said that you went to the special zone some time ago? I heard that the special zone is currently undergoing a pilot reform of shareholding? Do you think this method can be applied to Wanxiang?" Like Wang Shi, Lu Guanqiu also realized that the reform would continue, so he It will inevitably involve the issue of property rights. Only by straightening out this issue can enterprises let go of their hands and feet.Take big strides forward, do not deal with property rights, and always walk in shackles.

"Analyze the specific situation, but if it's you, Brother Lu, you should be fine!" His methods are several ranks better than Li Jingwei, so naturally he won't be as embarrassed as Li Jingwei.

"This is what I think. Don't rush to solve all the problems at once. Let's take it step by step. We would rather suffer a little loss than make this matter beautiful!" Lu Guanqiu talked about his plan, "I did some calculations a while ago, and Wanxiang's net worth is almost 500 million!"

"Then I'll give 750 million to the township government, and I don't care if I pay for it! First clarify the property rights, even if the township government takes the 750 million in vain, even if I have to turn over the profits to the township government every year in the future, but in this way, the remaining Half of it belongs to our full-time employees of Wanxiang!" Lu Guanqiu was very cautious and used the name of all employees, without saying at all how much of the remaining 750 million miles was his own.

"It will be easy to handle when this matter is settled. The proportion of the company's equity may change at any time! Moreover, the township government has a lot of places to spend money. It may be considered when it will continue to sell shares. At that time, I will continue to buy shares. That's enough!" This is still the same as Wang Shi's, first determine the equity, and then use other methods to obtain more shares. From a commercial point of view, this method is understandable.

Compared with Li Jingwei's various methods when he wanted to obtain the ownership of Jianlibao, Lu Guanqiu's plan can definitely score [-] points, while Li Jingwei's method at [-] is considered too much.

At first glance, it seems that Lu Guanqiu has suffered a loss and gave up 750 million shares to the township government for nothing, but he also gained the autonomy of the enterprise, and the township government is also very satisfied, and even actively supports him in doing so; Jingwei is half as smart as him, and the Sanshui government doesn't hate him like that.

And with such a beginning, it will be much easier to deal with things later. When he wants to continue to buy shares, the local government will not object. After all, did they buy it with real money? It can stand the audit test at any time.

What's more, this operation still retains the nature of Wanxiang's collective enterprise. The government owns shares, and the remaining shares belong to all employees. Why is it not a collective enterprise?

Since then, most of the problems that plagued private enterprises have disappeared here in Wanxiang. Wanxiang can still enjoy the benefits brought by collective enterprises, obtain loans from banks more conveniently, and obtain various urgent needs more conveniently than private enterprises. Raw materials, enjoy the preferential policies that collective enterprises should have.

Wanxiang's property rights reform is a happy one. The government is happy, Lu Guanqiu is happy, and Wanxiang's employees are also happy. Even when netizens talk about the loss of state-owned assets, almost no one mentions him, and there is no infamy at all. , This is better than Godfather Liu, no wonder many people commented that Lu Guanqiu, as an entrepreneur, has almost no shortcomings, and there are few such things that can be done in the whole country.

If we insist on shortcomings, it may be that Wanxiang was not brave enough and missed a good time to enter the automobile industry. This point was compared by his fellow Li Shufu.

In 1999, Wanxiang officially established a project to develop electric vehicles. Wanxiang Group has invested more than 35 billion yuan in the electric vehicle project, but it is still blocked from the door of "vehicle manufacturers" by a piece of approval. If you want to build a car, you need to obtain approval. Wanxiang never got the permission, so it didn't dare to violate the policy to build its own car.

In comparison, Li Shufu is much bolder, and the conditions he faces are much harsher than those of Wanxiang. In terms of funds, Wanxiang spent 35 billion yuan on electric cars, while Li Shufu only had 80 million yuan when he planned to build cars; Accumulated, Li Shufu has never set foot in the automobile industry before, but Wanxiang has provided accessories to international automobile giants since the [-]s; in terms of government support, the relationship between Lu Guanqiu and the local government is even more unmatched by Li Shufu.

No matter how you look at it, Li Shufu seems to be unable to build a car before Wanxiang. However, he did it. It doesn’t matter if there is no approval. Let’s build it first, and wait for the car to be built. Dry.

Isn't a car just a chassis with four wheels and a sofa?What's so difficult is that with this kind of generous temperament, Geely insisted on building the car, and then obtained the qualification for sale by cooperating with other approved car manufacturers.

I don't know if Lu Guanqiu will regret that he was too obedient and conservative after seeing Geely's rapid progress?

In 1988, the reform and opening up had entered the tenth year. Many entrepreneurs began to think about deeper issues. They used various methods to get rid of control and strive to win independence. Some succeeded and some failed. Fortunately, Li Lei started from He took this into consideration at the beginning. Except for the fertilizer production field where private enterprises are not allowed to enter for the time being, most of the industries under his name do not have problems in this regard, so there is no need to worry as much as Wang Shi and Lu Guanqiu.

After chatting with Li Lei, Lu Guanqiu's mood obviously improved a lot. At this time, the leaders also came over, so everyone sat down and started eating together.
