1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 594: Disease in the stomach and intestines, affected by fire (2)

Although Qi was famous for its agriculture, there were actually quite a few areas where the per capita arable land area was pitifully small.

At this time, the country has not yet proposed the 18 billion mu of arable land red line, and the division and use of arable land and industrial land is in a vague state.

This leads to a question…

Building factories and developing industries in rural areas often comes at the expense of farmers' arable land.

Food is the lifeblood of the people, and farmland is the lifeblood of farmers. Even with the township government acting as the coordinator, it is not easy to flatten other people's fields to build a factory.

Therefore, as township enterprises sprang up like mushrooms throughout the 1980s, this contradiction became increasingly obvious, and something like the "Rural Common Development Fund" came into being.

To put it simply, villagers buy shares in township enterprises at a discount in exchange for their land and enjoy corresponding dividends from the township enterprises every year.

To be precise, when the business is doing well, the company will distribute dividends; when the business is not doing well, the company will provide villagers with a certain amount of various daily necessities in the form of "labor insurance".

Doesn’t this sound like a very good measure that can not only meet the land needs of enterprises, but also ensure that the villagers who lend out their arable land can have a stable income regardless of drought or flood?
Ok……

The original intention is excellent.

But in fact, township enterprises in the 1980s and 1990s also generally had a series of problems such as irregular management, financial opacity, and confusion between debt and cost. Whether they made a profit or a loss was entirely determined by the factory director.

Think about it, even when the township enterprises are doing well, the villagers may not be able to get the dividends they deserve, let alone when the enterprises are not doing well?
Therefore, very soon, in some areas, this "Rural Common Development Fund" was tied to employment quotas... Since you can't count on your dividends, then you occupy my land, and I come to work in the factory and earn some salary to support my family, right?
Yes, of course you can. After all, the company has suffered losses first!
So, this gave rise to another problem.

Since this is a debt-swap exchange, the villagers who come to work in the factory not only have a strong psychological advantage, but are often not very active at work... Anyway, you owe me this, and you dare not fire me. The salary is just the same no matter how much I work every month, so I just muddle through!

This is an unsolvable problem for enterprises, especially township enterprises.

So, now you know why everyone fell silent when they heard Director Liao mention the words "rural common development account"?

Textile factories are large land users. Although the number of “nail households” who work in each factory due to the above problems is not large, there are still several in each factory...

Since Lu Yingying is opposed to accepting all the employees of these factories, the implication is very clear. Those employees who do not have the necessary skills and are not proactive in their work must be screened out and eliminated.

Although I don’t know how many people they plan to lay off, those villagers who went to work in the factory because their land was occupied will definitely be the first to be affected... Even I can’t stand their lazy behavior, let alone them?

But once those people are really eliminated, it will immediately become a huge and invincible trouble.

Their land has already been occupied, and now they are being driven out of the factory. It would be strange if those people didn’t make trouble!
If the commotion gets bigger, or even spreads to the provincial level, all of the factory directors and deputy factory directors will be beaten to a pulp.

Not to mention Director Liao, who is the director of the county enterprise office. If something goes wrong, he will be the first to be punished.

So, don’t blame Director Liao for looking so unhappy.

………………

"Director Liao, I understand your concerns."

"But no matter what, the new cluster will never accept those employees who do not meet the requirements... When running a business, management is important, and the company's spirit is even more important. At this critical window period, we can't let a few bad apples spoil the whole pot of soup!"

Lv Yingying, who has been working for three years, is well aware of the harm caused by this kind of nail household, and is even more aware of the uncontrollable consequences of this invisible passive transfer to the new enterprise, so she answered with extraordinary firmness.

Seeing the middle-aged man in front of her looking grim, Lu Yingying said softly, "Director Liao, do you think this will work? Regarding the historical problems left over by several factories, I propose two solutions on behalf of Suhua Textile Factory."

"The first type:"

"Each factory will list the occupied land as historical debts, and according to the national land occupation compensation standards, this debt will be subdivided into each relevant villager. When the cluster reorganization is completed, the cluster will pay all the compensation at one time, thus completely eliminating this debt relationship... Because the initial investment required for the reorganization of the new cluster is huge, we hope to get support from the county in terms of funds and loans."

"Of course, the purpose of divesting this debt relationship is to make the subsequent management reform of the cluster go on more smoothly. The original intention is not to abandon those villagers... After all, everyone knows that although the compensation stipulated by the state is not low, it is not too high either. Moreover, it is difficult for the land that has been built into factories to be turned back into farmland. Therefore, no matter how much compensation is given, it will eventually run out. Those villagers whose livelihoods have been cut off still need to be considered."

"So, Suhua Textile Factory can hold a crash course in training."

"This crash course was originally intended to train all new employees on the new cluster's corporate culture, management system, incentive policy, and feedback system at the beginning of the cluster's reorganization. However, it also includes production and grassroots management skills training... After all, the cluster's future business breakthroughs focus on blended products, and there are still many differences in equipment operation, process management, and even safety management from the previous pure cotton textile industry."

"Those who were screened out in the first round can also participate in this training course for free, and even their accommodation and food expenses can be borne by the cluster. After completing two months of skills training, they will participate in the assessment with other employees... The only difference is that other employees compete for jobs, while these people have an additional factory entry assessment."

Spreading her hands, Lv Yingying said earnestly, "I also came from the countryside, and I know better than anyone that the biggest problem we rural people have is that we are content with a small fortune, unwilling to seek change, and lack sufficient sense of crisis and competition... But after all, we are running a business, not doing charity. If we want to lead everyone to a well-off society, we must change this mentality from top to bottom, so a competition mechanism must exist, and it must be implemented."

“We can give opportunities and do ideological work, but whether the villagers can realize the crisis and seize this opportunity depends on themselves… The new cluster can allow for poor learning ability of employees, slow improvement of skills, and even allow employees to raise objections to the new management system and encourage them to put forward suggestions for improvement, but it will never tolerate employees with improper work attitudes!”

When Director Liao heard this, his eyes twitched and he became confused for a moment.

Of course, he was aware of the problems that Lu Yingying pointed out. In fact, this was a long-standing problem in township-run enterprises in recent years. He was even very clear that the other party was concerned about the face of everyone present and did not point out some more serious and embarrassing problems.

To be honest, their county enterprise office welcomes Suhua Textile Factory, an incubated enterprise of the Dahua series, to act as the catfish... The overall scale is quite good.

Even if Suhua Textile Factory is willing to give opportunities and provide training, it is hard to say whether these guys who have most likely become lazy are willing to accept this favor. If they don't correct their work attitude, or even refuse to participate in the training at all, and then fail to pass the recruitment assessment and go to the city or province to make trouble, it is hard to say whether they will still be punished... It's just that with the efforts and preparations laid by Suhua Textile Factory before, this punishment may be lighter.

Damn, grassroots work...is so difficult!
Director Liao sighed and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he asked, "Manager Lu, what about the second option?"

When Lu Yingying heard the other party's tone soften, she immediately smiled back: "The second option..."

"Director Liao, do you think this will work?"

"Our training will still be free for these villagers, and the door to the factory will still be open to them;"

"However, the land occupied by the factories will not be included in the historical debt, and the villagers will not be given compensation. Instead, they will be given another opportunity."

No compensation will be paid?

Director Liao straightened up suddenly: "Another chance?"

To be honest, if the person sitting in front of him wasn't Tugou, the student representing Dahua Company, he would have slammed the table immediately.

If you don't pay compensation, aren't you bullying me? Do you think there's no way to make a fuss?

But the reputation of the Dahua faction in this area is too good. Even he himself would rather believe that the county would do such an unkind thing than believe that the Dahua faction would do such a thing.

So, after a brief moment of shock, his reaction was not to worry about the issue of compensation, but to be curious about what kind of opportunity Lu Yingying was talking about.

After scanning the surprised and curious faces, Tugou adjusted the bandage hanging around his neck with his left hand, and then placed his right hand in a plaster cast on the edge of the table in a rather relaxed manner: "Since the new cluster is established, several textile factories will move to the new park area in Songlou Town. If the original factory areas of each factory are left unused, wouldn't that be a waste?"

"That's a well-planned site with factories, warehouses, dormitories, office buildings, and even roads leading directly to the county. It's all there. It would be a pity to leave such a precious gem unused."

"So, Director Liao, do you think this is okay?"

"These original factory areas, as the non-performing assets of the new cluster, were divested to Xialiu Tongxiaoshe, Momo Baishou, and Momo Baiyao at a suitable price. Then they changed these factory areas into local industrial incubation parks, logistics distribution parks, cold storage transfer points, drug distribution areas, etc. according to needs and actual conditions;"

"These units have expanded their business in rural areas at a rapid pace in the past two years, and it is time to significantly increase various types of transit outlets and business outlets... Especially Momo Baishou, which has been committed to incubating small and micro-sized local specialty product projects in various towns and villages since last year, in accordance with local conditions, to link with the ever-expanding supermarket outlets and meet the differentiated needs of consumers in various regions." "Whether it is an industrial incubation park or a logistics distribution park, it is necessary to pay attention to an initial scale advantage, which can not only reduce management costs, but also make a name for itself and stimulate nearby consumption, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone... However, these units are currently racing against time. It is not easy to find a ready-made site with a large enough area and a relatively convenient location. After the relocation of each company, the remaining factory area is just right."

"Since the business transformation is being carried out on the original factory site, as long as the original divestiture price is appropriate, the previously occupied land can naturally be used as a debt package to buy shares at a discount again."

"Of course, whether it is Xialiu Sales Agency or Momo Sales, their profitability and scale are not comparable to the original textile mills in the towns and villages. After the transformation of the business model, the future valuation of those industrial parks will definitely be much higher than the original textile mills... Given the objective situation, the proportion of the land after the discount is naturally impossible to be the same as before."

"In fact, at that time, these units will have a second round of communication and negotiation with the land transfer parties, and also propose two solutions:"

"1. After the second valuation, when the park is rectified, we will use the asset deduction method to give these villagers the property rights of one or several shops or warehouses with a surplus of 80% to 120%. Whether they are self-operated or leased back by those units, they can always get a stable income... Of course, if they are self-operated, they will bear the risks themselves."

“2. After the second valuation, we will not take the property rights of the shop or warehouse, nor will we take any surplus assets. We will directly convert the shares into shares according to the actual valuation and directly become the original shareholders and the first batch of employees of the project company.”

"But it should be noted that when integrating resources, these project companies adhere to the principle of equal shares with different rights. That is to say, after these villagers buy shares at a discount, they also only have the right to dividends but not the right to vote. However, these project companies will strictly implement modern financial management systems and make accounts public for all shareholders and employees, so that these villagers can clearly know the whereabouts of every fund and whether the company is making a profit or loss at the quarterly financial report meeting."

"In addition, although these villagers can become veteran employees, they still need to strictly abide by the employee handbook. If they seriously violate the regulations, or fail the assessment for three consecutive months, they will still be dismissed, but the dividends will remain the same... In other words, if they want to get a salary and live a lazy life like before, it is absolutely impossible!"

Everyone else was fine, but Director Liao's eyes lit up when he heard this solution, which didn't seem particularly surprising.

Coming from a grassroots background in a township and having worked in a county enterprise for several years, he naturally knew the differences between the second plan.

Although the rural areas in the Qilu region are generally simple and far less prosperous than those in the coastal areas, they are used to hardship and would definitely want to earn more money and live a better life as soon as possible.

Unlike the half-dead textile factories, the earning power of Dahua Group is well known.

Unlike those previous units where everyone gets paid the same no matter how much you work, Dahua's basic salary is much higher. As long as you are willing to work hard, they are so generous with bonuses that it's simply enviable.

But the recruitment requirements of the Dahua system are quite high, and many people have tried their best but failed to get in; you can guess with your butt that after the second discount, at least half of the villagers would rather not have dividends and want to exchange it for a chance to get in.

Therefore, he was almost certain that most people would definitely choose the second option at that time... Who would not be happy when they can get dividends, high salaries and bonuses?

The cleverness of the second plan, apart from the fact that it can easily appease the villagers' possible dissatisfaction, also has a benefit that many people have not noticed.

In a relatively fair environment, people with shares and those without shares have different mindsets.

There is also a big difference in mentality between veteran employees and newcomers;
Therefore, this plan, which allows you to convert your shares into shares and become a veteran employee, is suitable for you unless you are a completely hopeless person. Otherwise, once you enter such a new environment, even if you were a parasite who lived a life of idleness and waiting to die before, you will treat it as your own business and work hard for it.

Although the little girl in front of me with her arm in a plaster cast has clearly stated that it's not that they don't have preventive measures and they won't give you special care, but they have taken such good care of you. If you are fired, no one will sympathize with you even if you scream to the sky.

After realizing this, Director Liao could not help but sigh secretly. First they lured people with huge profits, then they imposed strict management. I am sure there will be many more small competition incentives later. The series of actions performed by the little girl in front of him must be a determination to cure the "laziness" in the minds of these farmers.

However, with such good intentions, it is no wonder that the city relies so much on Dahua Company.

Thinking of this, Director Liao made up his mind, but he still asked with some reassurance: "I want to know if units such as Xialiu Sales Agency and Momo Baishou have a more specific plan for the subsequent use of old factory areas to develop new projects?"

Tugou glanced at him and easily understood what he was worried about. He immediately laughed and said, "Don't worry, Director Liao, we have a rough plan."

"In short, we will try our best to adapt to local conditions. For example, we will develop the old factory area of ​​Beicheng Street Textile Factory into a cold storage transit area to support a series of 817 broiler projects including Momoba Fried Chicken and commercial circulation of vegetables and fruits. "

"For example, we will make full use of the small hub locations and transportation advantages of old factory areas that were originally built near rural streets to develop them into small and medium-sized logistics parks and distribution centers;"

“As for the two textile factories that were originally built on the edge of the village… we will transform their factories into industrial incubation parks.”

Lv Yingying's expression was full of seriousness: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Our industrial incubator park is more focused on training and business guidance. Although it stands to reason that such an industrial park should actually be built in the urban area, or at least in the rural streets, in order to stimulate the awareness and enthusiasm of the grassroots masses and achieve more micro-practical guidance, it is actually a very good idea to build it in such an area directly adjacent to the villagers in the initial stage!"

"After all, these industrial incubation parks were initially linked to Momo Baishou and Xialiu Tongxiaoshe. What we want to incubate are all small and micro food projects and agricultural and sideline product projects with local characteristics. Once they are too far away from the masses in terms of physical distance, they may not achieve the results we want... These are the seeds of hope. Even if the cost we pay in the early stage is a bit higher, that's okay."

Director Liao naturally knew what the "seeds of hope" the other party was talking about. Having worked at the grassroots level for many years, he also knew the benefits of such an approach... Although he didn't know what the people from Dahua Company were trying to do, no matter from which standpoint, he had no reason to object.

Director Liao sighed imperceptibly, feeling ashamed to say the following words, but he had to continue to argue due to his duty, but his tone was no longer as hard as before: "Okay, I trust your credibility. Regarding the issue of whether the original factory employees should stay or go, let's follow Manager Lu's opinion."

"However, regarding the last point, that is, Manager Lu, you are against the county directly appointing the party secretary to the new cluster to guide the work... Can we study this carefully? After all, this also represents the county's attention and care for the new cluster!"

No one believed what was said, not only Director Liao himself, but also everyone else present.

But Director Liao had to bring this matter to the table and discuss it.

Linyi County's recent township finance and county management initiative has been very successful. After realizing the benefits of this, a certain supervisor in Xiajin also wanted to try to learn and promote it. The current cluster reorganization with Suhua Textile Factory in Songlou Town as the main body is the best entry point.

But to be honest, although the county enterprise office is a powerful department for township enterprises, internally, it can only be regarded as a slightly larger shrimp...

This was obviously not the first time that Tugou had encountered this question, so she was very familiar with the details and answered decisively: "No!"

"Since this cluster reorganization is based on Suhua Textile Factory, it would be better if the former party secretary of Suhua Textile Factory remains as the party secretary, otherwise it will chill the hearts of all the employees of Suhua Textile Factory!"

"And unlike the general manager who is responsible for full-time management and operation, the main task of the party group secretary is to carry out party building work, strengthen the ideological construction of employees, and coordinate with the general manager's management work... To carry out this kind of work, you need to be very familiar with and understand the situation in the factory and all employees and cadres."

"In this regard, Secretary Yuan of Suhua Textile Factory has done a very good job. If a new party group secretary is appointed, he will need to familiarize himself with the situation and run-in with the team. This will take a lot of time and energy. The more than 2,000 employees in the new cluster may not be able to fully understand the situation in a short period of time... If the business transformation of the new cluster is seriously delayed due to unfamiliarity with the situation, and the cluster misses the precious window period, who will be responsible for this?"

"More importantly, the reason why Suhua Textile Factory was able to leap from a little-known village collective enterprise to one of the textile suppliers for the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken areas in East China in just one year is not only because the whole factory worked together day and night, but also because Manager Cheng and Secretary Yuan were willing to respect science and fully listen to the professional opinions of the incubation guidance team assigned by our Dahua Company to Suhua Textile Factory;"

"I won't hide it from Director Liao. If the county directly appoints a new party secretary to the new cluster, I am very worried whether the new party secretary will fully respect the opinions of the incubation guidance group like Secretary Yuan did at the beginning. "

"More importantly, our Dahua company's attitude towards such incubation projects is that if we believe that there is incubation potential and value, then we will fully mobilize all resources to help them incubate; but if we believe through evaluation that the enterprise and project will have obvious uncertainties in the incubation process, then we will not hesitate to let go... Director Liao, I hope you can understand our difficulties."

When Director Liao heard this explanation that was so tough and almost threatening, the corners of his eyes twitched.

If there are obvious uncertainties during the incubation process, will you let go without hesitation?

What this means is that if the county insists on appointing a new party secretary, all previous plans of Dahua Company will be invalidated?
How did this happen?
Once the aforementioned contingency plans become invalid, this cluster reorganization will most likely become a joke. The hassle of cleaning up the mess alone will be enough to make people collapse.

Will the party secretary appointed by the county fully respect the professional opinions of the incubation group and then follow the lead of Dahua Company?

Anyone who knows something about the system knows that this is likely...

And if it is at a time when some people in Xiajin County are trying to implement the township finance county management model, it would be even more impossible.

On one side is the possible beating, and on the other side is the beating that you will definitely get. What do you think Director Liao will choose?
Therefore, after staring at Tugou for a long time and realizing that the girl in front of him had no intention of giving in,

Director Liao picked up the pen and notebook on the table expressionlessly: "Okay, I will report your opinions to the county truthfully."

After saying that, he stood up, turned and walked towards the door of the meeting room.

Damn, catching a donkey in the alley is blocked at both ends.
Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up...
