Chapter 677: Which is more important, controlling rights or management rights

The next day, February 6th.

Zhang Pandi took a train to Shenzhen along with people from the three bureaus of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, as well as negotiation representatives from the Aerospace Group and the Nuclear Industry Group.

Deputy Director Sun from the 3rd Bureau of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office found Director Wang, who was negotiating with the Shenzhen government on the size of the new factory, and expressed his desire to bring negotiating representatives from the Aerospace Group and the Nuclear Industry Group to visit the Shenzhen factory under the Peace Group, but was flatly rejected by Director Wang.

"Director Sun, Pan Di, wait for me!" Director Wang Sumei turned around and said, then turned to the leaders of the Shenfu, "Secretary Li, the small amount of land you approved will be gone after building a few warehouses. You need to approve more!"

"Oh my! My dear sister Wang!" The person in charge of the Shenfu said helplessly, "The Heping Optical Card Factory and the Precision Instrument Factory said they wanted to expand, and we approved the land without saying a word."

"You said you wanted to build another surveillance equipment factory, and we approved it without hesitation!"

"You said yesterday that you wanted to build another Heping Materials Factory. We still have no objection and approved the land for you."

"But the factory schematic you brought today covers an area larger than the Pingguang Card Factory, the Precision Instrument Factory, and the Monitoring Equipment Factory combined. How dare we approve it for you?"

Wang Sumei did not give up and said excitedly: "Secretary Li, didn't I tell you?"

"The nano silicon carbide materials that this materials factory will produce will use a lot of rice straw and rice husks. Do you know how much the Peace Group is paying for rice straw and rice husks?"

"The purchase price of rice straw and rice husk will be the same as the price of rice in Shenzhen!" Director Wang Sumei's voice was more than ten decibels high. "If we support the Heping Materials Factory to grow bigger, they will purchase a large amount of rice straw and rice husk, which will allow the majority of farmers to earn more income!"

"Secretary Li, Director Wang!" The director of the Shenfu Office said with a smile, "I have a suggestion. Do you think it will work?"

The person in charge of the Shenzhen government looked at the people from the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office sitting in the sofa area and nodded slightly to signal the office director to continue.

The director of the Shenzhen government office went on to say: “We can reserve the land around the Peace Materials Factory for the factory first and not allocate it to other factories or projects within two years.”

"After the Peace Materials Factory goes into production, if we need to expand production within two years and need new land, we can discuss land allocation. What do you think?"

All the leaders of Shenzhen government agreed that two years was enough time for Shenzhen to apply for the land use rights auction policy.

At that time, no matter how large an area of ​​land the Heping Materials Factory needs, just pay the money!
Anyway, Peace Group has money!

"That won't work!" Director Wang Sumei shook her head. "Tingmei Trading plans to invest 5 million magnesium yuan in the Heping Materials Factory. The land you have approved is really only enough for them to build a few warehouses."

"How much?" The director of Shenzhen Municipal Investment Promotion Office's voice was distorted.

"5 million magnesium yuan!" Wang Sumei frowned and said, "If you only approve this little land, I'm afraid our share in the Heping Materials Factory will not exceed 25%!"

The leaders of the Shenfu exchanged glances, and Secretary Li said seriously, "Sister Wang, give us another day to discuss it. I will give you a reply before 10 am tomorrow. Is that okay?"

Thanks to the tax contributions from Tingmei Health Factory, Heping Optical Card Factory and Heping Automobile Factory, Shenzhen's tax revenue quadrupled last year.

This is also one of the reasons why the leaders of the Shenzhen government were polite to Wang Sumei, and why they approved the land so readily.

However, the land that Heping Materials Factory wants this time is really too large!
After hearing what the other party said, Wang Sumei had no choice but to nod in agreement, but she didn't realize that it was the 5 million magnesium yuan that impressed them.

After the land issue was settled, the leaders of the Shenzhen government exchanged pleasantries with the people from the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, and then warmly saw them off.

After Sun, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office's 3rd Bureau, waved goodbye to the Shenzhen government officials, he whispered to Wang Sumei anxiously:
"Director Wang, we just want to take the negotiating representatives from the Aerospace Group and the Nuclear Industry Group to visit the factories controlled by the Peace Group so that they can understand the relative importance of controlling rights and management rights."

Director Wang Sumei thought for a moment and said, "I can only apply to take you to visit the Tingmei Health Care Factory. The confidentiality level of other factories is very high, so it is not convenient for me to take you there. I hope Director Sun can understand."

"I understand! I understand!" Deputy Director Sun of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office said with a smile, "Also, I heard that after the listing of Peace Automobile Co., Ltd. in Japan, the management rights of the Peace Automobile Factory are still in our hands. Do you know the reason?"

"I actually know about this!" Wang Sumei looked at the group of negotiators on the bus at the door and said with a smile, "How about I take you to the Heping Automobile Factory first? The confidentiality level there is not high, and foreign delegations often visit and study there."

"That's great!" Deputy Director Sun loosened his tie and said with a smile, "I just thought I couldn't go to the Heping Automobile Factory!"

"Hey, it's my fault for not making it clear just now. The factories controlled by Tingmei Trading Company have a very high level of confidentiality." Director Wang said with a smile, pointing to the Heping electric car in front, and said, "I'll take Pan Di to that car and lead the way for you."

"Okay, I'll tell the bus driver." Deputy Director Sun from the 3rd Bureau of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office understood the implication of Director Wang's words, which was that he just wanted to talk to Zhang Pandi alone.

After saying this, Wang Sumei took her secretary Liu Yuan and Zhang Pandi to the front and drove ahead. As soon as the three women got in the car, Director Wang Sumei couldn't help but ask, "Pandi, have the negotiators from the Aerospace Group and the Nuclear Industry Group still not given in?"

"Well!" Zhang Pandi said helplessly: "The representatives of the Nuclear Industry Group believe that the controlling stake is very important, equivalent to the sovereignty of a country, and they are unwilling to give it up."

"If Peace Automobile Co., Ltd. had not gone public in Japan, I might have the same idea as them." Director Wang said with a smile:

"But now when I look at the relationship between Heping Automobile Co., Ltd. and Heping Automobile Factory, I still sigh that the capitalists' rules can be played like this!"

Zhang Pandi responded with a smile: "I have heard about the relationship between them, as well as the design of the company and factory systems from Zhang Nian. After the meeting yesterday, I briefly told Deputy Director Sun about the Heping Automobile Factory, and he decided to bring a team to visit today."

After hearing this, Director Wang Sumei stopped talking about the car factory and asked, "I heard from Lao Yang that you are helping Huayingxiong Company contact for donations to build a cemetery and memorial hall?"

Zhang Pandi glanced at the man driving the car and explained briefly, "Hua Yingxiong Company's real estate and land in Ridao Dongdu have been sold almost completely. Only one Hua Yingxiong exhibition hall and 1 crematoriums are left."

Wang Sumei pointed at the driver with her left hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, I went to your house to eat noodles and dumplings several times before."

"It's Xiao Zhou!" Zhang Pandi tilted her head to look forward and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize him just now."

The driver, Xiao Zhou, glanced in the rearview mirror, grinned, but didn't say anything.

"Why did your brother think of asking Huayingxiong Company to donate money to build a cemetery and memorial hall? I also heard that they wanted to donate 8000 billion yen?" Wang Sumei asked puzzledly: "Can that money be used to donate to build a school?"

Zhang Pandi thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard from my brother about the donation. But I heard from Ou Yanzi, the general manager of Huayingxiong Company, that they will not limit their donations to building cemeteries and memorial halls, but will also donate to meaningful projects such as monuments and nursing homes for veterans of the War of Resistance."

"That's good!" Director Wang Sumei said happily, "Pandi, you can talk to Manager Ou about donating to build some patriotic schools in the mainland. Anyway, it's fine as long as the name has that meaning, don't you think?"

"Okay! I will give this suggestion to Manager Ou when the time comes." Zhang Pandi agreed with a smile.

Secretary Liu Yuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned around and asked, "Director, isn't the Peace Charity Foundation willing to donate money to build a school? Why don't you just tell Zhang Heping?"

"He donated the money to the Hope Project Fund, but the Hope Project responded too slowly. Alas..." Director Wang sighed, unwilling to talk about it anymore.

The three women talked for a while in the car, and then the car drove to the parking space next to the gate of Heping Automobile Factory.

Sha Zhixiang, the director of Heping Automobile Factory, who received a call from Director Wang, was waiting at the factory gate with three factory management cadres.

"Director Wang, you haven't come to our factory for a long time!" Sha Zhixiang, who was once Wang Sumei's subordinate, seemed very enthusiastic at this time.

After Wang Sumei and Zhang Pandyi introduced each other, Sha Zhixiang welcomed this group of people into the factory gate.

"To be honest, I recently heard about Peace Investment Shenzhen Branch discussing cooperation with them." Sha Zhixiang said with a smile:
"Regarding the issue of management rights and controlling rights, let's talk about it in the office building after everyone has finished touring the production workshop."

A little old man in a white shirt and gray trousers took two quick steps and asked behind Sha Zhixiang, "Director Sha, I just heard that your car factory is 100% controlled by Peace Automobile Company, but Peace Automobile Company has also listed and issued shares in Japan."

"Excuse me, how many shares does the Peace Automobile Company still hold in the Peace Group?"

Sha Zhixiang didn't expect these people to be so anxious. Thinking that they were still some distance away from the production workshop, he casually said, "It was 35% before. After the stock market crash in Japan, I heard from Mr. Zhang that they bought another 3% of the shares back."

The old man in blue work clothes, whose face was flushed from the heat, frowned and asked, "With such a small amount of shares, how can the Peace Group guarantee the autonomy of your automobile factory? Aren't you afraid that the capitalists will replace all the management of your factory with foreigners?"

Seeing Director Wang nodding at him, Sha Zhixiang had to patiently explain: "Although Heping Automobile Company holds 100% of our Heping Automobile Factory, the board of directors of Heping Automobile Company can only appoint and dismiss the management of Heping Automobile Company, and cannot directly appoint and dismiss the management of our Heping Automobile Factory."

"According to the rules and regulations of the Heping Automobile Factory, the Heping Automobile Company can only nominate a new list of management cadres if our Heping Automobile Factory suffers major losses, is operating poorly, or if management cadres commit dereliction of duty or commit crimes."

"However, the newly nominated list of management cadres needs to be supported by more than half of the factory employees in a secret ballot before they can take office. Otherwise, the nomination will be invalid, and the appointment and removal will naturally be invalid."

The old man in a white shirt and grey trousers asked anxiously, "Can we go and see the rules and regulations of your factory now?"

The old man in blue work clothes asked persistently, "What if a foreigner becomes your factory director and changes your factory's rules and regulations so that Heping Automobile Company can directly appoint and dismiss the management of your automobile factory? What will you do in this situation?"

When Sha Zhixiang heard what the old man in blue work clothes said, he immediately didn't want to talk to him anymore...
