Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 380 Acquisition of Fertilizer Factory

The previous top leader, Lao Yongsheng, has been promoted, and then a person named Xu Chengxiu, who came down from the province, is said to have a background, but he is indeed capable. He has handled personnel relations properly and resolved personnel issues within a few months of taking office. So, he moved other thoughts, wanting to make achievements sooner.

Heyang is a large agricultural county with a good agricultural foundation, and its grain output has been rising steadily. It is difficult to make achievements in this area; in terms of industry, due to the positioning restrictions of a large agricultural county, except for Huinong Group, which is engaged in agricultural related enterprises In addition, other industries are not very good, and there is also a lack of development potential, so Xu Chengxiu put his mind on infrastructure construction.

Xu Chengxiu has two plans. The first is to cooperate with the higher authorities to complete the construction of the "Bright Project" in Heyang County as soon as possible. Last year, the "World Solar Energy Summit" was held in Zimbabwe. The Chinese representative proposed to implement the "Bright Project" in areas without electricity around the world. "To solve the problem of electricity shortage in poverty-stricken areas; now my country has 7656 million people without electricity, 16 counties without electricity, and 29783 villages without electricity. Power supply in different ways, no electricity has become a major obstacle restricting economic development.

The state has decided to use wind power, photoelectricity, hydropower and other methods to supply power to these areas without electricity, so that people in remote and backward areas can also enjoy the light brought by electricity. This year is the first year of the "Bright Project" officially implemented. Complete the construction of power supply systems for 5 villages without electricity and 2000 microwave communication stations within 100 years, with a total installed capacity of 40 to 60 kilowatts, which can bring light to 1/10 of the country's population without electricity, that is, 800 million people.

And there are still some remote villages in Heyang County that have not been connected to electricity, so Xu Chengxiu set his goal on this. He was born in a cadre family, and he knows very well how much help he can bring to his future by being a model at the beginning of the implementation of major policies. In addition, if you want to get electricity, you have to transport equipment, so you have to build roads, so Xu Chengxiu's goal for himself is to realize the plan of connecting every village in Heyang with electricity and roads during this tenure.

But to achieve this goal, you have to spend money, and Heyang's financial revenue cannot support his ideas, especially after the implementation of the tax sharing system, when the local financial revenue further declines, the funding gap will be even greater, then He was afraid that it would not be enough for him to find a way to get some funds from the province, so he thought of Li Lei. Heyang has the richest man in the country. If the richest man is willing to help, he will definitely be able to solve a lot of funds.

So he came to the door. If it was another rich man, Xu Chengxiu might adopt other methods, but Li Lei is not an ordinary businessman, not to mention his identity and background. Committee member, vice chairman of Minsheng Bank and many other important positions. For such a businessman who can directly reach Tianting, he can only follow the rules. After thinking about it, maybe only a few factories in the county can convince him.

"Chemical fertilizer factory? Huinong does have a plan to make efforts in the field of chemical fertilizer!" Li Lei did not deny his interest in the chemical fertilizer factory. At the same time, he was very moved by Xu Chengxiu's arrival. At the earliest time, he had to go to do whatever he wanted to do. I lined up at the door of the county leader's office. Later, my career and status rose. I could go directly to the leader's office to chat with him if I called in advance, but now the leader came to visit me on my own initiative.

"The Heyang Fertilizer Factory has developed very well since it was contracted by you. Now most of the fertilizer factories in the surrounding counties have collapsed, and those that have not collapsed are still alive. Only our Heyang Fertilizer Factory has not only survived, but also survived. Life is very good, when Zhang Yonghai from the chemical fertilizer factory went to other places for a meeting, when he heard that he was the director of the Heyang Chemical Fertilizer Factory, everyone else was envious!" Xu Chengxiu immediately gave several high hats.

Now the director of the Heyang Chemical Fertilizer Factory is Zhang Yonghai. After years of training, the ace salesman at the time has been able to support a factory. In order to train him, Li Lei also arranged for him to go to university to learn modern management knowledge. He also learned it. He is very hardworking. If he develops well in the future, it is not impossible to become the head of Huinong Chemical Fertilizer Division. Li Lei is definitely willing to use someone he is familiar with when his ability is similar.

"But how to solve the policy problem? Now the chemical fertilizer industry is still under the control of the state, and Huinong's chemical fertilizer plant in Guizhou was a special event! Is it feasible for me to directly acquire the Heyang chemical fertilizer plant? Will there be any policy issues? risk?" Li Lei asked.

In China, agricultural materials such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides have always implemented a monopoly system. The state has brought the production, purchase, sales, import, distribution, and price of chemical fertilizers into unified management, and implemented unified planning and centralized management; until the 80s when the dual-track system and the contracting system There has been some loosening, but it is still difficult for private enterprises to get involved in this field in depth.

"Don't worry about this problem. It is different now. The structure of the planting industry has undergone great changes over the years. The ratio of food and cash crops has been adjusted from 77:23 at the beginning of the reform and opening up to the current 64:36. Changes have made farmers' needs for fertilizers and pesticides more diverse, and the original fertilizer production management model can no longer meet the needs of the development of the times! So the higher authorities are also considering adjustments to the fertilizer industry!" Xu Chengxiu knew that Li Lei must be aware of this, But I have to say it again.

"Last year, Guangdong took the lead in making changes. They issued a "Notice on Rectifying the Production and Circulation Order of Agricultural Materials". The main channel of the agricultural technology station, soil fertilizer station, and plant protection station at the county level and below are the auxiliary channels for the operation of agricultural materials and commodities. The field of chemical fertilizers has begun to be liberalized!"

"In addition, the Government Affairs Council is also formulating relevant policies, and will gradually loosen control!" After talking about the situation in Guangdong, Xu Chengxiu talked about the direction of the above changes, "Although the detailed rules have not yet been released, the general direction has been set, mainly as follows: In a few points, the state's management of chemical fertilizers will change from direct management to indirect management, the autonomy of chemical fertilizer companies will be expanded, and the ex-factory price of chemical fertilizers will change from government pricing to guiding prices."

"These policies will be officially announced next year at the latest. By then, our Heyang Fertilizer Factory will have greater autonomy from production to sales! From the contract to the present, the equipment of the Heyang Fertilizer Factory has been used for more than ten years. Although it has been continuously updated and adjusted over the years, the skeleton has not changed, and it is time for a complete transformation. We will take down the fertilizer plant this year, and then carry out large-scale technological transformation. When the transformation is completed, we can just wait for the national policy Announce that by then, you will be able to make a big splash in the field of chemical fertilizer!" Xu Chengxiu even gave Li Lei the time to figure it out.

"It is true that there are such rumors, but things like policies can't be done until they are announced! Let's wait until next year!" Li Lei is very clear that these policies will be implemented, but he has not yet figured out why Xu Chengxiu is in a hurry to sell The chemical fertilizer factory, the chemical fertilizer factory now pays the contract fee to the county every year. Why does Xu Chengxiu turn the long-term business into a one-shot deal?If the factory is sold, there will be no contract money.

"Hey, I can't help it! The country is now implementing the 'Bright Project', and I also want to repair the roads in Heyang, but I don't have money, so I have to reluctantly give up! You can rest assured about the policy. There may be some uncertainties in the details, but the liberalization of the chemical fertilizer field is a sure thing! You can buy one more year to prepare now, and if you start next year, it will be a bit late!" Xu Chengxiu told the truth .

"This is a good thing!" Li Lei understood that he was eager to sell the chemical fertilizer factory for his political achievements. I don’t dislike these things, just like every business owner wants to make the company bigger and stronger, all leaders want to make progress. As long as it can bring benefits to the local area, it is a good thing, and road construction and electricity connection are definitely great things.

"How are you going to fix it?" Li Lei asked about the details. He wanted to know if Xu Chengxiu really planned to do something, or if he was using a cover to fool people. If it was the former, he was willing to support it. Heyang's infrastructure construction was completed, which would also be beneficial. Huinong's development and growth.

"Since I arrived in Heyang, I have been thinking about this matter. I have traveled to every village in Heyang with experts from the province. Now the experts have helped to formulate a preliminary plan." Xu Chengxiu came prepared, He immediately took out a map and explained it to Li Lei, "Heyang is located along the Yellow River, with a high terrain in the southwest and a low terrain in the northeast. The whole county is not yet connected to electricity, and the roads are mainly concentrated in the southwest mountainous area! Therefore, the focus of work should be placed here. At the same time, the roads in other places will be renovated and widened! To meet the needs of the development of agricultural mechanization in the future! After the road is repaired, the people in Heyang will not have to work so hard to plant and harvest wheat, and they can hire a mechanical team to do this. .”

Li Lei is more familiar with Heyang's situation than he is. After listening to it for a while, he knows that Xu Chengxiu's plan is very reasonable. Although people like to make progress, they are also visionary and capable.

"Leader, you are really worried about the development of our Heyang. As a local enterprise in Heyang, we, Huinong, are naturally duty-bound to do such things. On behalf of Huinong Group, I donated 100 million to the county. I hope that our Heyang It will be possible to realize access to every village and power supply to every village as soon as possible!" Li Lei sent a big gift, this project is also of great benefit to Huinong, after the road is repaired, Huinong's products can be shipped out more conveniently, when the time comes The fuel and repair costs saved on this alone may be more than 100 million per year.

"Okay, okay! On behalf of the people of Heyang, I would like to thank Huinong Group for its great support!" Xu Chengxiu was immediately delighted. He originally wanted to sell the fertilizer factory, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest. One million is not a small sum. This money can solve big problems, at least the design institute can come up with a detailed plan earlier.

He said a lot of words of thanks, and also agreed on a time for the official donation. Xu Chengxiu would not let go of such a good opportunity. He planned to call more reporters over to publicize this matter. After these were finalized, he I asked about the fertilizer factory again.

"Since it is for the needs of Heyang's development, let me take some risks! I agree to the acquisition of the fertilizer factory. Let the county first estimate the output value of the fertilizer factory and give a reasonable price, and then we can talk about it." A specific acquisition plan!" What Xu Chengxiu said just now is correct, and Li Lei also wants to buy an extra year to prepare in advance to meet the fierce competition in the fertilizer market after the policy is liberalized.

"In terms of net assets, the fertilizer factory really doesn't have much. Now most of the equipment used in the fertilizer factory is rented. The county has already done a specific valuation! Take it and have a look. If you have any comments, feel free to call me Call!" The purpose of this trip has been achieved, Xu Chengxiu left a bunch of things and left contentedly.

Li Lei asked people to take the data for research. In fact, there is basically no need for this. He has been contracting the chemical fertilizer plant for more than ten years. He knows the situation of the Heyang Fertilizer Plant very well. The value is relatively accurate, and it is very cost-effective to purchase at this price, but there are still necessary procedures.

A few days later, news of Huinong's acquisition of the Heyang Fertilizer Plant gradually spread. If a state-owned enterprise in other places was about to be acquired by a private enterprise, the workers would definitely panic, but the workers of the Heyang Fertilizer Plant were completely different. They not only Not a bit worried, but full of joy, many people even said, "Oh, I have been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally this day is finally here."

Why is this so?The reason is very simple, because Li Lei has won their trust in the past ten years, and they are also envious of the treatment of employees of Huinong's other branches. It is also necessary to abide by the relevant national regulations and not distribute them casually. Huinong does not have this problem. This has led to the annual income of Huinong employees being higher than that of chemical fertilizer factory workers. Now that the chemical fertilizer factory is acquired by Huinong, they do not need to No matter how much you endure policy restrictions, you still have the hope of getting a high salary. How could they not welcome it?
This incident also triggered a chain reaction. Several chemical fertilizer factories in Luxiang City had been doing OEM work with Heyang Chemical Fertilizer Factory before. Xing Shuwang helped to contact them when he was in office. These factories heard that Huinong was going to buy Heyang Chemical Fertilizer Factory Afterwards, I immediately found the local leaders to report, and the local leaders rushed to Heyang, hoping that Li Lei would also acquire these enterprises.

Li Lei also agreed that when the time comes, one factory in Heyang and several factories in Luxiang will be merged together, and the equipment will be updated at the same time. Huinong will have the foundation to enter the field of chemical fertilizers.
