Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 335
"Recently, I read some information and documents. Last year, a total of 24 state-owned enterprises suffered losses. More than 95% of them were small and medium-sized enterprises. A considerable number of enterprises were insolvent. %, these situations have seriously affected local fiscal revenue and endangered social stability in various places." Li Lei told Jing Shuping about the data he had seen.

Then he said boldly, "It has been more than ten years and almost twenty years since the reform and opening up. These companies have basically tried everything they can change. Facts have proved that to solve the problems of these companies, more open measures must be taken! In this year These issues were also mentioned in the "Suggestions on Formulating the "Ninth Five-Year" Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Goals for 20" released in September, which clearly pointed out that, "different from different situations, adopt reorganization, alliance, merger, and shareholding cooperation" Ownership, leasing, contracted operation and sale, etc., to speed up the pace of reform and reorganization of small state-owned enterprises."

"Then Professor Wu Jinglian also published an article in "Reform" titled "Opening Up and Energizing Small State-owned Enterprises", which is in line with Professor Zhou Shulian's proposal of "key support and other releases" proposed a few years ago; I think this method is an attempt. Our country Now there are more than 30 state-owned enterprises, and it is impossible for the state to manage all these enterprises well, so can some small enterprises be released and sold to those who can run these enterprises well?" Li Lei said My own opinion.

"Like what was done in Zhucheng?" Jing Shuping asked. This method has already been tried in some places, and later the superiors went to investigate it, and generally speaking, it is quite certain.

"Yes, I also bought an oil extraction factory in Zhucheng. Now it has become the second most important factory in Luhua. Hundreds of jobs were created, and a large number of peanuts grown by local people were purchased, so that they could easily exchange for money." Li Lei used his own experience as an example.

"When Hui Nong built factories across the country, he also found that many similar local enterprises were operating in a very bad situation, but these enterprises were not worthless. They either had machines that could continue to be used, or they had a high level of technology. However, due to various reasons, the high-level worker team cannot play its due role. It has to rely on the local government to provide financial subsidies every year to survive! So I was thinking, is it possible to let go of the restrictions on these small and medium-sized enterprises? Let us benefit Acquisition of farmers?" In fact, some companies in the southeast coastal area have already done so, but they did not make any noise. Li Lei told Jing Shuping that he hoped to get the support of his superiors.

The enterprises he wants to acquire are only a few in the southeast coast, and most of them are located in inland provinces. The local government is not as open-minded as the southeast coast. Without the support of his superiors, it would be difficult for Li Lei to acquire those enterprises. After thinking about it, he continued, "There have been many cases of foreign-funded enterprises acquiring state-owned enterprises in recent years. Sometimes I don't understand why foreign-funded enterprises can acquire them, but our private enterprises can't?"

A few years ago, Li Lei also took advantage of this trend to acquire many valuable companies from Huang Hongnian, but after all, it was inconvenient to use a third party, and Huang Hongnian stripped a layer of profits, which increased the cost of the acquisition , Now that the policy environment may be loosened, Li Lei began to think whether he could do it himself?

"I also know what you said!" Jing Shuping's level of access is not comparable to Li Lei's, so he knows more about the situation, "The total industrial output value increased last year, but the total profit decreased. More than 100 billion, and the loss of small and medium-sized enterprises exceeded [-] million! And this is on the bright side, if you add the depreciation loss of equipment caused by selling equipment to pay wages and stopping production, it will be even more!"

"These enterprises have even dragged down the local government and banks!" The local government has to provide funds for the enterprises to continue their lives so that they can pay wages; They are all burdens, and many local governments and banks are complaining. The government's financial situation has been dragged down, and banks have suffered countless bad debts.

At the same time, it has also caused a series of social problems. It is impossible and incapable for these enterprises to pay full wages to their employees when they are losing money. In recent years, the price level has soared. Without sufficient sources of livelihood, they can only think of other ways, so vicious incidents such as theft and robbery have increased year after year, and it is difficult to say that the attention has nothing to do with this background.

"The state is indeed considering implementing the strategy of 'grasp the big and let go of the small', but there is no specific plan for how to do it. Some people suggest that the state only needs to concentrate its efforts on a few key enterprises, that is, 1000 large state-owned enterprises and enterprise groups reform and development, the remaining small and medium-sized enterprises can be directly released and invigorated; some people think that it is not only related to the size standard of enterprises, but also should be considered in conjunction with the long-term goal of state-owned economic restructuring. For example, some urban public utilities, although small in scale , but it still belongs to the field of state-owned capital entry, and the government will still need to grasp it in the future, and large enterprises belonging to general competitive industries, although they meet the scale standards, it is not necessary for state-owned capital to fully enter in the future.”

"But in general, everyone is just arguing about the boundaries of grasping the big and letting go of the small, and basically agree with this plan in general; now you Huinong are willing to stand up and take the initiative to conduct some experiments, so that the higher-ups can check for leaks and make up for vacancies, and come up with more I think many people will be willing to see a plan that fits the actual situation." Jing Shuping cautiously expressed his support, and then asked Li Lei to stay in the capital for a few more days, and he reported the situation to see what the leaders think .

In the next period of time, Li Lei followed Jing Shuping to visit many leaders. They listened to Li Lei's report in detail, especially discussed the situation of the Zhucheng oil factory in depth. In the end, their opinions were the same as Jing Shuping's. It is beneficial for the reform to allow several private enterprises with good operating conditions to make some attempts to acquire small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in advance, and they should be supported.

Now Li Lei has obtained the Shangfang Sword, and can finally start to acquire those targets that he has long been optimistic about. After so many years of development, Huinong has formed a mature factory construction system. Send key personnel to the local area, first set up the financial system, and at the same time adjust the production management system and establish an incentive mechanism. As for the employees of the new factory, it is even simpler. The workshop director, when the workshop director is the factory manager, basically it takes less than a year to get the new factory on the right track and achieve profitability.

Now that it has changed from building a factory to an acquisition, it only needs to make some fine-tuning on this system, such as adding acquisition negotiators, recruiting elite personnel from the personnel department to screen the employees of the acquired company, and all the employees who are willing to stay will not be retained. The position must be reassessed before determining the position and so on.

The local government also welcomes Li Lei to buy, because they have long wanted to get rid of these burdens. Now that someone comes to buy, even if they don’t need money, they will be satisfied just by letting them bear the factory’s debts and arrange the workers; In one place, the top and second leaders in the local area will meet Li Lei in person, and directly pull out the list of local enterprises for Li Lei to choose. Li Lei now finally enjoys the treatment that Huang Hongnian had in the past.

Li Lei's first stop was the feed factory in Mingli City, Dibei Province. This is a small state-owned enterprise with more than 100 employees. They have also been impacted by the competition. In the face of cheaper and more effective brand-name feed, the feed produced by this small factory gradually cannot be sold. The income level of workers has also been declining year after year. Leaders with connections They all tried to find ways to transfer to other companies through connections, and those who had no choice could only stay in the factory and work hard.

"Mr. Li, this is Fang Daiyun, the director of the Mingli Feed Factory. He started working as a worker in the feed factory when he first started working. In the past two years, the leaders of the factory have left one after another, and he is the only one who is still sticking to it!" Zhao Xinxian, the second-in-command of Mingli City, personally accompanied Li Lei on inspections, and introduced him to the situation in the factory.

Oh, I understand, this is a factory director who only knows how to work and can't run away, so he became the factory manager who has no one to do it. Li Lei understood, and he was going to shake hands with Fang Daiyun. He knelt on the ground with a thud, "Boss Li, please buy our factory! As long as the workers can be paid wages, you can do whatever you want me to do!"

Fang Daiyun has been tormented ever since he became the director of the factory. He can't speak and try to get along with him. He can't get much money from the leader, and he can't find a loan from the bank. After receiving so much indifference, you have to accept the blame of the employees when you come back. What's the use of you, the factory manager, if you don't even return the money?Many of them are old guys who have worked in the same workshop as him for decades, and after two years of suffering like this, he almost collapsed!Now that he saw Li Lei, he finally saw the hope of liberation.

"Get up, get up!" Li Lei quickly pulled him back, and the bodyguards behind him stepped forward to help. Zhao Xinxian also comforted Fang Daiyun while blaming him, and finally pulled Fang Daiyun up.

Then he visited the factory area under his leadership. It can be seen that Fang Daiyun still has some ability. Although the production workshop has not started for a long time, the machines are still in good condition. Fang Daiyun pointed to these machines and said, "These machines are all good. As long as they can Make up the wages owed to the workers, buy a batch of raw materials for production, and start working immediately!"

Li Lei shook his head, "We, Huinong, don't use these old-fashioned equipment for a long time! This machine is older than my age, and the production efficiency is too low!"

"Mr. Li, then we will sell it to Huinong at the scrap iron price. We don't care whether you sell second-hand machines or scrap iron!" Zhao Xinxian thought that Li Lei wanted to bargain, and he hoped that Li Lei would sell the factory as soon as possible. If you buy it, you will naturally not be entangled in such a small problem.

"No! You should deal with it yourself!" Selling second-hand machines to small private factories could make some money, but Li Lei didn't want to take advantage of this.

After looking around carefully inside and out, and finally came to Fang Daiyun's factory director's office for a meeting to discuss, Li Lei directly expressed his opinion, "I have already seen the factory, although the machines are a bit old, the age of the workers It’s a bit big, but it’s still valuable! Huinong is willing to buy it, and then we will invite the government, banks, and factories to form a professional evaluation team to evaluate the value of the feed mill. How much money to buy!"

Doing so will of course make Huinong pay more capital costs, but the advantage is that the whole process is clean and transparent, and will not cause the trouble of buying state-owned assets at a low price.

Fang Daiyun and Zhao Xinxian showed sincere smiles at the same time. Now Mingli City can finally get rid of a burden, and the workers can resume work and get paid.

But Li Lei also has his own conditions. The workers who are willing to stay must pass the assessment of Huinong. Those who fail the audit and those who are unwilling to work in private enterprises must also be arranged by the city to work, so that these people cannot lose their livelihood; In addition, the city has to provide convenience in the supply of raw materials, so that the feed factory can resume production as soon as possible. Zhao Xinxian fully agreed to these, but Fang Daiyun had some opinions, but his words were basically useless.

One sincerely wants to buy, the other is eager to sell as soon as possible, and there is no competitor. This kind of cooperation is very smooth. The evaluation team quickly evaluated the value of the feed mill, and Huinong's professionals conducted a second audit and then bargained. A purchase contract was signed.

Immediately after the completion of the acquisition, the mature mechanism of Huinong was introduced to assess the original employees. There were more than 100 workers in the factory, but only more than 40 remained after the acquisition; Dibei Province is located inland, out of inertial thinking However, these workers still prefer to work in state units, and always feel that working in private enterprises is not guaranteed.

Li Lei didn't force it, and immediately put up a recruitment sign. The employment situation is generally not good now, and a group of employees with training potential was quickly recruited, and these employees were mixed with old employees to receive unified training from Huinong; At the same time, the new production line is also being installed and debugged in full swing.

Mingli City Feed Factory resumed production soon, and achieved a production and sales of more than 500 tons in the first month, breaking the record of the old factory, and achieved profitability. The workers received the first bonus Many old workers who chose to go to other units began to regret it.

As soon as the news spread, more places would invite Li Lei to make acquisitions.
