Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 398 Shaft Strength
A man in his forties walked into Li Lei's office. He had dark skin, shabby clothes, and a bit of stubbornness in his eyes. When he saw Li Lei, he stretched out his hands from a distance, "Thanks to Li Dong took care of him and sold us the Dawu Group breeder chickens, which saved us the money to buy breeder chickens from foreign companies at a high price. I always said that I would like to thank Li Dong in person, but Li Dong was too busy with work and I was embarrassed. Excuse me, there is really no way this time, I can only ask Li Dong!"

"Mr. Sun is very polite! If you want to say thank you, I have to thank you for taking care of our Huinong business. There are not so many customers buying breeders. How can we have the capital to compete with Hailan International and Roman Poultry?" After shaking hands, Li Lei invites him to sit down by the sofa, and pours him tea with her own hands.

"Look at what you said, if you hadn't honed your sword for ten years and cultivated our own high-quality breeder chickens, I would have no place to buy them even if I wanted to. You are a big hero in the hearts of our domestic breeding companies! There are so many of them all over the country. For breeding, how many companies are willing to spend so much money and spend such a long time breeding by themselves?" Sun Dawu gave a thumbs up, this is not bragging but from the bottom of his heart. , How important it is to breed pigs, and how difficult it is to breed them.

While chatting, Li Lei recalled the experience of Sun Dawu. He was born in an ordinary peasant family in Langwuzhuang Village, Gaolin Village Town, Xushui District, BD City, HEB Province. In 16, his wife contracted a piece of land in Langwuzhuang Village to start a breeding farm. Speaking of which, he started his business only one year later than Li Lei.

Three years later, Sun Dawu lost his job in the bank and returned home. Together with his wife, he worked hard to expand the farm with only 30 chickens and [-] pigs. Later, the scale of the farm expanded to [-] chickens. The small farm has changed its name to Dawu Group. Its business covers breeding, feed, real estate, medical care and other fields, and it ranks among the top [-] private enterprises in the country.

Unlike other bosses who made a fortune, Sun Dawu still maintained a relatively simple style after becoming a multi-millionaire. He did not have a special car, lived in an ordinary one-story house, and only had a few old clothes. Even his old parents had to live in the village. Picking up scraps and gathering firewood for cooking, Li Lei did not comment on the former, but the latter disagreed a little. No matter how simple it is, basic filial piety is still required, and it’s not like he doesn’t have the ability.

After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Dawu once again explained the purpose of his visit, "Mr. Li, I heard that Minsheng Bank recently launched a breeding loan? Our Dawu Group is planning to expand the production scale and needs a loan of 500 million. I read the loan requirements of Minsheng Bank. We The Dawu Group is completely in line, do you think you can give me a word to approve it?"

"It's true that Minsheng Bank hasn't established a business point with you, but I remember that there is a cooperation with Xinhe in the local area. You can go to Xinhe to apply according to the process? You don't need to come to me, right? And with the reputation of your Dawu Group , it shouldn’t be difficult to get a loan locally, right?” Li Lei asked curiously, he had heard some rumors about this person, but he didn’t know if it was true.

It is indeed difficult for ordinary private enterprises to get loans, but Dawu Group is not an ordinary private enterprise. Their local status is a little worse than that of Huinong in Heyang. The local banks will also rush to come, because Huinong's operating conditions are relatively good, the probability of bad debts is low, and helping such enterprises can also generate social benefits such as increasing local tax revenue and solving local employment problems.

The same is true for Dawu Group. Industrial enterprises like this have always been the treasures in the eyes of local governments. Most of the local governments are willing to support them within their capabilities. Moreover, Sun Dawu originally worked in a bank, so there must be people inside the bank. It is not difficult to get a loan according to common sense.

Sun Dawu shook his head when he heard this, "Mr. Li, you don't know. I have fallen out with the local people a long time ago. One year I wanted to invest in a 600-acre vineyard and needed a loan of 1 million. Someone pointed out the way for me. The leader of the credit union can do it with a gift. I took [-] yuan in the past, but it didn’t work out. They won’t even give me a loan! Even if I go to them to apply this time, I’m sure I won’t be able to get it approved!”

Li Lei was speechless after hearing this, and he didn't know what to say. You only want to get a 600 million loan with 1 yuan?There is such a good thing there?It sounds reasonable to ask for the money back if things are not done, but if things are only reasonable, there will not be so many troubles in the world.

Don’t blame the local government for not granting him a loan once this incident happened, because the incident has become a hot topic. If the bank granted him a loan, some people would say that he didn’t get the loan after giving 1 yuan to the leader of the credit union. But this time I got it, so how much did the leader of this bank charge?No one wants to be blamed for this, and banks like to deal with sensible people. Seeing Sun Dawu's previous actions, does he look sensible?Who knows what else he can do next!People in the system are most afraid of dealing with uncontrollable people, and Sun Dawu is just such a person.

"Hey, over the years, I have fallen out with more than just the bank, the tax department, the industry and commerce department. Has that department ever quarreled?" Sun Dawu started to talk, and then talked about his other glorious deeds.

Before the local taxation department issued a tax evasion notice of 138 million yuan to Dawu Group, both Li Lei and Liu Yonghao had encountered similar incidents. In fact, they were all policy-related issues. Both Li Lei and Liu Yonghao solved the problem mellowly , and did not arouse the displeasure of the relevant departments.

As a result, when he arrived at Sun Dawu's place, he actually got into a fight with the taxation department. He felt that he did not evade taxes, but the taxation bureau deliberately found fault. Unconvinced, Sun Dawu went to court for 5 years, and finally made trouble with the State Administration of Taxation and the Higher People's Court of Heb Province. , and at this time, the cost of this lawsuit alone is no less than one million.

Not only the Taxation Bureau, but also the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Land Bureau, as long as they are related to his company, they have been sued by him. It is no wonder that he has turned a company with a good development momentum into a target that the local unit is unwilling to provoke. Can't get a loan.

This reminded Li Lei of the owner of Yu Zhuang back then. They both came from rural areas and had extraordinary business talents. Unfortunately, they have very big flaws in their personalities. , then think it is against yourself, and you have to figure it out with the other party.

"If you can't get a loan, how did you solve your financial problem?" Li Lei asked again. He remembered the most famous incident of Sun Dawu. Isn't it already started?
"What else can I do? I rely on the help of the folks in the village and the employees. At first I borrowed money from my relatives, and I added interest when I gave them an IOU. Later, some employees wanted to lend me money, and I also accepted it. ;Then the relatives of the employees also came, and the relatives of the relatives also came. Is the interest rate high here? The bank deposit is only a few o’clock. I’m afraid that if you come to me in the middle of the night, I’ll give you the money on the spot! Later, I simply set up a financial mutual aid society to accept deposits. Up to now, more than 1000 people have deposited with me, which has allowed the company to continue to develop, but now It's still not enough, so I came to ask you for help." Sun Dawu said.

Hearing this, Li Lei's scalp became numb for a while, and he quickly interrupted Sun Dawu, "Mr. Sun, what you did is involved in the crime of 'illegal deposit-taking'!" He was later arrested by the relevant department for this incident. It also aroused widespread concern in the business and intellectual circles at that time.

The Third Prince Mao ran around for him, saying that although he apparently violated my country's financial control regulations, he did not harm anyone's interests, but benefited many people; Godfather Liu even wrote him a personal letter and sent a A vice president sent a loan of 1300 million yuan for emergency.

In the end, Sun Dawu was sentenced to three years and four times suspended. When the verdict was delivered, Sun Dawu shouted, "I'm not guilty, I'll obey the law!"

He still feels wronged, which seems to be the case from what happened, but there is a fatal problem, that is, the money in the bank is guaranteed. What should I do if there is a problem with the operation of Wu Group?Can I get the money back?Just look at those Evergrande employees who lent money to the company.

After this incident, Sun Dawu's thoughts became more extreme. Li Lei saw his speech on Weibo. He said, why does the United States have April Fool's Day?Because people tell the truth every day, they need to relax by telling lies, so can we have a truth festival?Let the Chinese who are used to telling lies also tell the truth?
After Li Lei reminded him, Sun Dawu still didn't think he was wrong, "Borrowing money to repay debts has been a matter of course since ancient times. It's not that I, Sun Dawu, don't pay them back. How can this be related to the law?"

"Private lending has always been restricted. Don't you know about Wenzhou's promotion of the meeting? It killed someone!" Li Lei still wanted to try to save him. No matter how many problems Sun Dawu had, he was in the The field of farming has made considerable contributions.

In the 80s, private lending business was very popular in many places, and Wenzhou was the most prosperous. At that time, Wenzhou called the organization that took deposits as a congregation. Earning the interest rate difference, powerful club owners can even absorb hundreds of millions of funds, but it soon turned into a Ponzi scheme. Because of the huge impact, several major club owners were sentenced to death.

It's a pity that Sun Dawu's axis strength has come up again. He feels that he is working for the welfare of the villagers. They put the money at home and it will only be ashes. Yes, I never thought about what would happen if the Dawu Group went bankrupt?
Li Lei could only sigh secretly, the saying that character determines fate is so true, in the future Sun Dawu, Li Jingwei, Chu Shijian and others will be listed as one of the tragedies of the era after the reform and opening up, and he feels that they have been wronged. When he was prosecuted for the second time, there were also many public opinions calling for him to be wronged.

But if you look at the charges listed in the indictment, you can see that Sun Dawu is not so innocent. He mobilized crowds to attack state organs, provoke troubles, sabotage production and operation, and force transactions. Are these charges common to entrepreneurs?It's almost becoming a gangster.

At that time, the relevant departments cleaned up the accounts of the Dawu Group, and the funds that needed to be refunded exceeded one billion yuan, while the accounts of the Dawu Group only had [-] million yuan. Obviously, there was no way to pay back all the money.

Li Lei also heard a gossip that the Dawu Group has always liked to occupy farmland and use it for other purposes. In the past, no one dared to provoke the Dawu Group in a small place, but they were so bold that they ran to the XA New District Occupy land and build buildings, and then there will be no more.

When Li Lei first heard it, he still didn't believe it. He felt that no one had such courage, but thinking about Sun Dawu's arrogance and extremes, he felt that it might not be impossible.

"That's how it is. Since the local Xinhe may not cooperate, then you can go to the city and forget it. You can go directly to the provincial capital. Where there is a Minsheng business point, where do you go to apply for it? I think it can be done!" Aside from his character flaws, Dawu Group really meets the criteria for granting Minsheng breeding loans, so after thinking about it, Li Lei helped him out, not only telling him that the business site can apply for a loan, but also arranging several employees to work with him. Go back and help him deal with the formalities.

Sun Dawu left with gratitude, Li Lei looked at his back upstairs and sighed, wondering if this incident could change his mind a little, so as to avoid future tragedies.

For the next period of time, Li Lei's work is mainly divided into several parts, first of all, the daily work of Huinong, and secondly, to prepare for the upcoming flood under the pretext of preparing for the warehousing and logistics project. Run, look for suitable storage bases everywhere, and then transport the materials to these warehouses for storage.

There is also the matter of agricultural insurance. To convince the higher authorities to set up a new insurance company to issue agricultural loans, words alone are not enough, and detailed information is needed to support it, so Li Lei arranged for professionals. It was divided into two groups, one group went to Europe, America, Japan and other developed countries to investigate how their agricultural insurance business was carried out, and the other group went to the countryside to conduct investigations and collect relevant information to explain the necessity and urgency of developing agricultural insurance business.

After preparing for a period of time, a preliminary framework was sorted out, so Li Lei took these materials to the capital again, intending to show Tong Lao and Du Lao and the others.
