1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 541 Deep cooperation?

Objectively speaking, the reason why Laiyang was so powerful before the millennium, and even gradually developed supporting industries according to the standards of a prefecture-level city right after the founding of the People's Republic of China, was mainly because of its geographical advantages - Laiyang is located in the core area of ​​Jiaodong, with important transportation routes and relatively flat terrain, developed agriculture and a large population, and is indeed very suitable for development as a prefecture-level city.

In fact, this was indeed the division before 58. At its peak, the jurisdiction of Laiyang Special District extended from Pingdu in the east to Rongcheng in the west, which was almost the entire Jiaodong Peninsula.

However, considering that it was too close to Qingdao, it was moved to Yantai in the north in 58, and Laiyang and Laixi were split at the same time.

You should know that the city centers of Laiyang and Laixi are less than 15 kilometers apart; and except for the smaller basin area, Laixi's geographical advantages in transportation are almost the same as Laiyang.

Such a geographical location leads to a big problem - sandwiched between two prefecture-level cities with extremely high economic activity, either you are awesome enough to lead the whole area, or you can only wait to be drained by the siphon effect on both sides.

Laiyang is close to Qingdao but far from Yantai. If Yantai wants to develop, it must give priority to developing its surrounding areas. Therefore, the three poorest counties in Yantai are always the three southern cities, Qixia, Haiyang, and Laiyang. These three places can hardly get any resources. Don’t even mention the Haiyang nuclear power plant. Laiyang and Qixia don’t have seas, so the nuclear power plants must be placed in remote places. Moreover, Laiyang will continue to be siphoned away. After all, among the three cities, Laiyang is the only one with a little bit of wealth.

Qingdao is even simpler. Since Laixi can complete the task of Laiyang's transportation hub, and Laiyang is not under his jurisdiction, there is no need to give Laiyang any resources. He only needs to slightly build Laixi's transportation.

So at first glance, apart from the industrial infrastructure that is facing the increasingly powerful siphon force of Qingdao and Yantai, Laiyang's only two advantages that really have the ability to break through are its population and troops.

However, starting from 1972, China had very good relations with neighboring South Korea and Japan, and even separated Weihai (87) from Yantai as a platform for developing a free trade zone. This led to the idea of ​​moving the 26th Army originally stationed here to Weifang after the s... If it moved away, the Laiyang troops would lose their advantage.

However, the good news is that although the organization has this idea, such a big thing cannot be accomplished overnight. From site selection to demonstration, and then to the coordination of various matters including the relocation of military assets, it will take several years.

Secondly, relying on the honeymoon period with Northeast Asia and selling agricultural products and labor through foreign trade, Laiyang has developed rapidly in recent years and accumulated a rich fortune. It is even called the "Little Hong Kong in the North". Even if the 26th Army moves away, as long as the dividends of foreign trade are still there, they can hold on for a long time, but there may be bottlenecks in development... In fact, this is why Laiyang in later generations, although it experienced a major accident and stagnant development for years, does not make people feel too down and out. After all, the foundation is here.

However, there were many ambitious people in Qi and Lu at that time. How could the authorities in Laiyang be willing to watch this Feng Shui treasure land stop its rapid development and then be siphoned off step by step by Qingdao and Yantai to become a little pony waving flags and cheering behind them?
You know, in the 1980s and 1990s, people from top to bottom in Laiyang were not very fond of the two big brothers, and even had some disgust and rejection towards them.

Therefore, their only option is to take advantage of the precious window when the 29th Army has not yet moved and the advantage of the army's population is still there, and to quickly realize further development and upgrading of the industry with a good supporting foundation, upgrade themselves to a prefecture-level city, and have the ability to stop the siphoning of Qingdao and Yantai in multiple dimensions.

You know, although Lai Yang's industrial supporting facilities were very complete at that time and many industrial categories had a foundation, most of those industrial products were light industrial products, and they were mainly oriented to the domestic market which had a not-so-large carrying capacity; the real money-making thing was foreign trade, and their foreign trade exports were mainly agricultural and sideline products... This slightly unbalanced industrial structure determined that it would be quite difficult for them to break through the siege and stop the siphoning power of the two big brothers on their own.

Therefore, whether or not Laiyang could, with the help of Shen Xing and his team's system, complete industrial upgrading and rebalancing of the industrial structure before the 26th Army officially moved away became the key to its breakthrough and promotion to a prefecture-level city.

………………

After hearing Shen Xing's simple explanation, Yang Mo immediately understood.

The biggest problem in Laiyang now is that their main local industries, like most regions today, are relatively primitive, and the only businesses that can generate large amounts of revenue are the export of agricultural and sideline products with relatively low added value. This industrial structure is a standard "false fat". Although the data on paper are very good, once the policies fluctuate, you will not be able to resist the industrial scissors gap and siphon force of neighboring cities.

Of course, Laiyang is not without industry, but has many industrial sectors, many of which have great market potential.

But the problem is that given the current domestic market conditions and regional barriers, without the support and digestion of Shen Xing and his team, it would be difficult for Laiyang City to market these products nationwide on its own, whether it is tractors, trucks, or various instruments and chemicals.

This is the case in China, and there is even less hope for the foreign market.

You know, the unofficial export channels for many industrial products are controlled by Shen Xing and his system.

No wonder this guy was so confident in listing such a large number of companies!

Yang Mo glanced at Shen Xing, who looked calm, and then at Lin Luosu, whose chest had straightened up without him noticing, and smiled slightly: "Why Laiyang, and not Qingdao?"

Shen Xing naturally understood what Yang Mo meant by asking this question, and did not hide it at the moment: "Because Qingdao, which was also one of the [Shang Qingtian] before the founding of the People's Republic of China, although it changed from a municipality directly under the central government to a prefecture-level city after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it became a separately planned city again in 1986, and...if it does not develop at the current momentum, it will probably be in the next few years, they will go one step further and become a sub-provincial city."

As we all know, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qingdao was actually one of the most important municipalities directly under the Central Government together with Shanghai and Tianjin. If conditions permit, Shen Xing and his system would naturally prefer to turn Qingdao into the base camp for military production projects. It's a pity that Qingdao's status has recovered too quickly in recent years. Once it is promoted to a sub-provincial city, Shen Xing and his system will lose a lot of voice and initiative in asset disposal and business operations.

Yang Mo naturally understood the difference and nodded gently: "It seems that the organization has officially sent out a signal to gradually ban the troops from doing business. How to divert and dispose of the assets and projects under the command of the military property preparation groups in various places is indeed a very important matter... If I were Uncle Shen, I would also focus on cities like Laiyang."

When Shen Xing heard this, his expression changed slightly, and a trace of vigilance flashed again in his eyes when he looked at Yang Mo.

Although he knew that Yang Mo was not an ordinary department-level cadre, and that he had extremely close relations with Mr. Zhao and the local authorities in Dezhou, so he must have more abundant information channels, he still did not expect that the other party could know such things in the first place... Although Yang Mo used a speculative tone, he would never believe that this young man had guessed it based on the few words just now.

Damn it, I’m in a passive position now!

Just like everyone else who had come into contact with Yang Mo, just one sentence made Shen Xing feel that the initiative had instantly slipped away from him. The action that he had originally intended to demonstrate his sincerity and strength suddenly turned into a very contrived joke.

It's very simple. The military production preparation team can help Laiyang absorb some of the industrial production capacity. Dahua Company and Drilling Company, which own several large rear markets such as Dezhou, Lanling, and even the three southwestern provinces, can also help absorb it.

The military industry preparation team can provide some of the industrial upgrading technologies that the Dezhou City Industry Fund Company, which has already put the light and heavy industrial products exchange plan on the right track, can also provide. In fact, due to the different characteristics between the systems, Yang Mo can even exchange more civilian "new technologies" from the Bear Country.
As for the foreign trade channels for industrial products that the military production preparation group can provide, there is even less to say... The Qilu Petroleum System has always had close ties with Africa and the Middle East, and coupled with the fact that Miss Mu has been making efforts in Northeast Asia in the past two years, the market scale that Yang Mo's group has now developed in this region is definitely enough to make anyone jealous. If we only talk about the market scale of civilian goods, once several regions are added together, it will definitely leave Shen Xing and others far behind.

and so……

A very cruel fact is that Yang Mo, who already knows the current main demands of Laiyang area, will be responded to by Laiyang as long as he shows up in person, even without the influence of Shen Xing and others.

It's nonsense. As long as Laiyang can successfully break through, it doesn't really matter who the partner is.

Besides, Yang Mo has always been known as the "little god of wealth". His persuasiveness in the field of business and economy is much stronger than Shen Xing and others. As long as he is willing to show his intention for in-depth cooperation, Lai Yang will be more inclined to choose him or himself... Is there any need to ask! ?
Fortunately, Yang Mo did not make a fuss about this issue. After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked, "Uncle Shen, let's put aside the matter of gifts for now. What I am more curious about now is... in terms of the disposal of assets in this system, what are your plans now?"

The implication is obvious. If your ideas and conditions are suitable, then I will naturally be willing to put aside past grudges and cooperate with you, and then happily accept these apologies.
But if both sides can't pee in the same pot, then I'm embarrassed and I won't be able to accept this gift. There's no need to mention what happens next.

Shen Xing's heart tightened when he heard the hidden meaning. He had not expected that with the relationship between the Lin family and Mu Siyuan, and he had shown his utmost sincerity, Yang Mo still revealed such a "business as usual" attitude.

With a bitter taste in his mouth, Shen Xing sighed, "Boss Yang, we actually have different ideas and opinions on how to divest and dispose of these assets and how to divert and transform these projects. Some comrades even prefer to divest these assets and allocate some retired personnel to run them."

"But no matter how it is handled, there is one thing that is undisputed... No matter how it is changed, whether it is restructuring or divesting for self-operation, we must ensure its main nature as a public-owned economy and its absolute right to speak; after all, you also know that we are a military force, a force to defend our country, and no matter what the considerations are, we cannot cooperate with some controversial private capital."

"So, if you choose to divest and restructure, compared to local competent units and local state-owned enterprises, units like Dahua, which are 100% controlled by central enterprises and have good operating conditions, are the most suitable deep cooperation partners... After all, you are a unit directly managed by the organization and follow the command of the party. The risk of your position is undoubtedly much smaller."

At this point, Shen Xing paused and said, "Although there is no disagreement on the general direction of thinking, as for the specific approach, up to now, we still have no unified opinion internally."

"So, seeing that one-third of the year is almost over and there is still no unified charter, the leadership team simply decided to split some assets and projects into two parts. One part will be tried to be divested and handed over to retired personnel for self-operation, and the other part will be tried to cooperate with suitable public economic entities. The three-year period will determine which method is better, and that is how the remaining assets and projects will be disposed of at that time."

Looking directly at Yang Mo, Shen Xing said calmly, "Since I have found Mr. Yang, you should know clearly that I support that view."

Yang Mo nodded. It took eight years from prohibiting business at the division level, to prohibiting business at the army level, to finally prohibiting business completely in the army... In other words, it was not until 1998 that a document was issued to completely ban business in the military.

In fact, these eight years were time for the troops to adapt and explore the direction of transformation. Therefore, it was not surprising that there was a disagreement within the organization at the beginning. Shen Xing obviously did not deceive himself.

However, if I remember correctly, judging from later events, these assets and projects were eventually separated and operated independently, and then gradually transitioned to direct management by the organization. Even the list of central enterprises had several giants with relatively high rankings because of these assets.

And Shen Xing and his people actually sought to reorganize and cooperate with Dahua Company, a central enterprise in the oil system...

It is hard to say whether this is considered a detour or a shortcut.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo smiled modestly like an ordinary junior, but his words went straight to the point: "Uncle Shen, you haven't told me how you plan to cooperate!"

Anyone from Qi and Lu, or in other words, from the north, rarely does not have a special admiration for the military. This is why Yang Mo was still willing to meet Shen Xing even though he had stood him up for half a year... After all, a man is a young man until he dies. Who doesn't have a dream of being a soldier? And who can neglect a cooperation that may involve tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of transferred soldiers?
But Yang Mo respected the soldiers and was willing to contribute to the employment and livelihood of those transferred soldiers, but this did not mean that he could not distinguish the priorities... He was also responsible for the diversion of 200,000 employees in the system, the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of rural grassroots people in Dezhou and Lanling, and the future of a large number of people who were already on his ship. Therefore, how to cooperate and how to distribute the right to speak was very important.

Shen Xing, who had already understood Yang Mo's style thoroughly, laughed and waved his hand gently: "If it were other units, we would naturally have to argue for it. After all, although the projects we took out as pilots this time are only a small part, there are more than 7 of them, big and small, with an asset scale of more than million, and the number of transferred personnel and their families involved is as high as ... It is reasonable for us to retain the right to make business decisions, or at least retain the right to veto."

"But Mr. Yang, you are not like others. I know you never take on projects that don't involve operational decision-making power. And with your incredible record, we don't have the face to fight for the operational decision-making power of these projects in front of you... Since Mr. Yang needs a team that obeys your orders and completely obeys your command, we are sincere and can give up even the veto power of the board of directors, and only retain the most basic financial auditing power. What do you think?"

Shen Xing spread his hands and said, "Boss Yang, you don't need to doubt our sincerity. In fact, we understand some of your practices very well... In the army, there can only be one voice, and every order must be completed as accurately as a gear. You don't need to worry about what the people below will think. These people are retired soldiers, and their obedience to orders is far beyond the reach of ordinary employees."

Hearing Shen Xing being so tactful and proactively putting the issues he was most concerned about on the table, Yang Mo immediately felt more favorable towards him, but immediately became a little confused: "Board of Directors?"

Shen Xing nodded: "Yes, board of directors... There are more than 200 projects of all sizes. Mr. Yang, you can't handle and reorganize them one by one, right? Wouldn't that be exhausting?"

"So, in order to facilitate cooperation and unified management, our idea is to reorganize into five medium-to-large-sized enterprises according to the business scope of these projects. After the reorganization is completed, we will conduct a second round of reorganization with Dahua Company... But let me say this in advance, Mr. Yang, although we can hand over the right to make operational decisions and give up the veto power, during the second round of reorganization, the shares must still be objectively allocated according to the asset ratio of both parties. Our nature is special, and we are temporarily unable to accept the model of management and technology investment."

Obviously, Shen Xing found out from his niece about some of Yang Mo's favorite tricks, so he blocked this path in advance... In fact, he was right. The system he was in was sensitive and special. If management and technical investments were allowed, it would be easy for others to make trouble at this delicate moment.

Yang Mo nodded, but didn't take Shen Xing's emphasis to heart. Instead, he asked curiously, "Reorganize five new units according to business scope? Uncle Shen... can you tell me about your plan so I can evaluate the feasibility."

Shen Xing had been prepared for this matter. When cooperating, one always has to see the other party's cards, right?

"First, we plan to reorganize a trading company. Although the asset scale is not large, only about 2000 million, and the planned number of employees is only a little over a thousand, but Mr. Yang, don't underestimate this company... There are a lot of elite veterans here. With this trading company, the light and heavy industrial products exchange plan of the Urban Property Fund Company will surely be much smoother, and the scale of expansion will be much faster."

Shen Xing smiled peacefully, but there was something meaningful in his smile.

Yang Mo understood it immediately. This was to make up for not having participated in the light and heavy industrial products exchange plan before. The reason why the asset scale was controlled so small was actually to make up for it after the loss.

Yang Mo nodded slightly, his expression slightly indifferent: "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Shen. Let's talk about other new units."

Seeing this, Shen Xing's eyes flashed with disappointment. He didn't believe that Yang Mo didn't know what such a "light-asset" trading company meant. It can be said that although due to some considerations, his system still cannot fully support Yang Mo's newly opened northern business, but with the addition of this new trading company and the addition of resources and connections, the scale of light and heavy industrial product exchanges in Texas will definitely increase from the original 10 billion/year to at least 20 billion/year in just one year.

That's double the size!

But Yang Mo's expression was so calm...

As expected, what Xiaoya said to her niece was right. Yang Mo is a person who, if you don't choose to stand by your side at the beginning, it will be difficult to make amends afterwards.

He even had a premonition that Yang Mo would not place too much hope on this newly established trading company in the future, but would proceed according to the original plan at his own pace and step by step.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Shen Xingqiang cheered up: "For the second unit, we plan to reorganize a construction company with an asset scale of 1.1 million and a staff scale of about 2 people... After all, as you know, we have a large number of re-employed personnel who need to be diverted in recent years, so we can only rely on a large number of labor-intensive projects to solve this problem."

Yang Mo tilted his head and looked at him: "2 people... Uncle Shen, do you want to take advantage of the fact that DZ City has just been upgraded to a prefecture-level city and that there are many infrastructure projects needed for expansion in recent years, and let me help you solve the employment problem of professionals?"

Shen Xing looked a little embarrassed. "Mr. Yang, you've figured it out, but there's nothing we can do about it. The provinces either don't have a large demand for infrastructure projects for the time being, or they are limited by the size of the city, just like Laiyang, and can only provide limited infrastructure projects... Currently, only Dezhou is a newly promoted prefecture-level city with a huge demand for expansion. Mr. Yang, you are the head of Dezhou Urban Construction Fund Company, and Dezhou's urban construction funds are all in your company's account. As long as you are willing to speak up and help these demobilized personnel to get projects and jobs, it shouldn't be difficult."

To be honest, he was very worried that Yang Mo would be unhappy and even refuse. After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, this matter is not only taking advantage of Yang Mo, but also causing trouble for him... The delicate relationship between You Yakun, Tian Guangyue, Ye Tao, and Yang Mo behind Ye Tao is no secret in their circle. It is reasonable that it would be difficult for a strong man like Yang Mo to accept himself showing weakness in front of outsiders directly or indirectly.

Unexpectedly, Yang Mo hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded gently: "That's no problem. Although Dezhou will not follow the traditional urbanization process, it will focus on developing headquarters economy and industrial center economy. In the next ten years, there will be a large number of infrastructure projects there. Even though there are already a large number of municipal construction companies and county and township construction teams locally, there is still a large labor gap... Uncle Shen, in fact, I personally think that you can let go of your hands and feet. I think... 2 people in the initial stage may not be enough. To be safe, expand it to 2.5 people first, and wait until Dezhou's development is up next year, and then gradually increase the number of employees!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing looked at Yang Mo in disbelief. He never expected that Yang Mo would make such a sincere concession on this restructuring enterprise that was least likely to accept it.

Yang Mo looked at the uncontrollable surprise on Shen Xing's face and smiled without comment.

What he said just now actually contained some water.

It is true that Texas will have a large number of infrastructure projects in the next few years; but it is nonsense to say that there is a labor gap in this area... Students who have been to construction sites know that although this work is hard and dangerous, in comparison with the 1980s, 1990s and even the millennium, it was definitely a high-paying job, and many people were eager to do it.

However, as the saying goes, a man stays young until he dies. After all, he is a Chinese, and a Chinese from Qi and Lu... In this era of large-scale military downsizing, no matter what, he still wants to do something for those retired soldiers to the best of his ability.

Didn’t people on the Internet later say that the only things that didn’t let down the people born in the 1980s and 1990s were music, movies... and soldiers.

Retracting his slightly divergent thoughts, Yang Mo smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, let's settle this for now. Can you tell me about the next unit you plan to reorganize?"

Shen Xing suppressed his surprised expression and took a deep breath: "The next company... Mr. Yang, your projects are always short of people, especially technicians in various fields."

"So, considering that you, Mr. Yang, are responsible for upgrading the industry in DZ City, the third unit we plan to reorganize is... Resource Technology Development Co., Ltd."

"To put it simply, this unit is more of a scientific research unit. According to the plan, the unit's main business in the future will include engineering technology research and experimental development; mechanical/electrical/electrical technology development, technical services, technical consulting, technical exchanges, technology transfer, technology promotion; scientific research software development; circuit integration; scientific research equipment leasing, etc., more than 20 businesses!"

! ! ! ! !

Communication on mechanical/electrical/electrical technology?

Technology transfer?
Circuit integration?

Scientific research equipment leasing?

These words may sound ordinary to outsiders, but to people who know something about these businesses today, they are undoubtedly like thunder.

Oh my god, these people are willing to bleed!

Although Yang Mo knew that the system that Shen Xing and the others were in possessed a huge scientific research capability that was unimaginable to outsiders, they were still willing to release these treasures... Even if they only released a tiny part of them, it was enough to make him drop his jaw.

Shen Xing saw his reaction and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank God, there is finally something that can move this guy. If this still doesn't move him, he really doesn't know how to discuss the following things.

Thinking of this, Shen Xing suppressed the small relief that had just risen, and then suppressed the small uneasiness that was about to rise, and smiled slightly: "Boss Yang, the dish is about to be stunned, I'd better explain to you the situation of the next two planned reorganization companies."

Ok?
illustrate?

Hearing Shen Xing's slightly weak words, Yang Mo looked at him strangely, and then a not-so-good feeling surged in his heart...
