1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 653 Childish
In fact, since the Southern Tour Speech, the domestic stock market has quickly entered a state of excitement.

After all, the designer said: "Securities and stock markets must be firmly open to experimentation. If you make a mistake, you can correct it!"

But I am afraid that most Chinese people did not expect that China's stock market could be so excited.

On May 5, the Shanghai Stock Exchange fully liberalized stock prices and no longer implemented the daily price limit system.

As soon as the policy was relaxed, the Shanghai Composite Index soared from 20 points on the 616th. In just 5 days, it soared to 1420 points, more than doubling.

The first to be affected were the famous "Eight Stocks in the Shanghai Stock Exchange". The share prices of Yanzhong Industrial (later Founder Technology) and Vacuum Electronics soared to a level that even their own people were scared. The share price of Yuyuan Department Store even soared to 1 yuan per share. The increase was so exaggerated that even Buffett would be shocked when he saw it.

In addition to the "old eight stocks", a number of stocks that were just listed this year, such as Shanghai No. 2 Textile Machinery, Shanghai Light Industry Machinery, and Jiafeng Shares, are also very popular.

Of course, after two and a half years of development, the number of listed stocks on the Shanghai Stock Exchange has expanded to 38, and together with the stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, there are actually only 70 stocks.

A mere 70 stocks are just a drop in the ocean compared to the 1.2 trillion yuan in savings that the nation's residents have unknowingly accumulated.

and so……

When a young executive vice president suddenly emerged in the Lanling Second Standard Device Factory, within less than ten days, the factory's account suddenly had an investment income of 313.7 million yuan.

This incident caused an earthquake-like sensation in Lanling.

In this era when the pricing of many industrial products still needs to follow the guidance of superiors (the pricing power will not be fully decentralized until July), a medium-sized standard component factory with only about a thousand people can easily make profits in just ten days that the entire factory staff can only create after working hard for half a year. The impact of this is even no less than hearing that the big brother in the north was disbanded.

And a certain obese factory director regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. If he had known that this young executive vice president was so capable, he should have handed over all the funds in the factory to him to operate... If he had bet all the funds, a mere 313 million would be nothing; it should have been doubled at least!

Thus, in just ten days, a young executive vice president, who was said to have worked in the political research office of a neighboring province for five years before resigning, suddenly became a god-like figure among the employees of the Lanling Second Standard Device Factory. From the factory director to the ordinary workshop workers, when they saw this executive vice president, they wanted to kneel down and wipe his shoes with their sleeves.

Of course, since the executive vice president is so evil, the heads of other units are not reluctant to come up to him shamelessly.

Although some news and rumors have proved that the reason why Lanling Second Standard Device Factory was able to make so much money in just ten days was that it was made from the stock market; but the problem is that few people in Qilu these days understand this new thing called the stock market. Even if you do understand it, you don’t have the channels and connections to get a large number of subscription certificates!
Fortunately, the young executive vice president was actually a very friendly person. Not only did he not turn away the factory directors who came after hearing the news, but after patiently communicating with them, he also kindly introduced some friends to them.

As a result, a strange trend soon appeared in the Lanling area.

Many manufacturing companies that originally had business dealings with Dahua Company began to terminate their contracts. After paying a painful amount of compensation, they only retained those production tasks assigned by their superiors. The rest of the funds that were originally planned to purchase raw materials and equipment were all concentrated and handed over to some vice presidents and consultants who popped up from nowhere, and then formed a trickle and flowed into the stock markets in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

………………

"Mr. Yang, as of today, 67 companies have withdrawn from our cooperation framework."

"Among them, 33 are in Lanling, 21 in Shanghe, 7 in Gaotang, 5 in Leling and 1 in Lingxian."

Zhuo Mali's expression was somewhat solemn, and even her usual charm disappeared without a trace.

Although the withdrawal of only 67 companies is not a big deal for Dahua's huge business system with more than a thousand partner companies, this sign is extremely dangerous.

You know, if anything is not curbed, it will snowball. In just 20 days, so many companies have withdrawn from cooperation with Dahua.

So what about another twenty days later?

Will this number increase exponentially or even several times?

And more importantly...

It would be fine if all these defecting companies were from Lanling. Although Dahua has a very close relationship with Lanling and was even once regarded as Yang Mo's base, in fact the two sides are more of a cooperative relationship of mutual assistance. Dahua cannot force others to drink water by pressing their necks... Besides, Lanling is also a famous old industrial area in Qilu, with all kinds of practical difficulties there. You cannot, and have no right to, blindly accuse the local government of indulging in such behavior of drinking poison to quench thirst.

The same is true for Shanghe and Gaotang areas.

However, this situation has also occurred in Leling and Ling County, which makes people have to be vigilant... These two areas are counties within the scope of Texas and are the real bases of Dahua Company.

A total of 6 companies in the two places terminated their cooperation with Dahua. Although it seems small in scale, it actually exposed some unspeakable weaknesses of Dezhou today... After all, the time for promotion to a prefecture-level city is still too short, and the location characteristics of Dezhou are a bit too embarrassing.

If this situation continues to develop...

Zhuo Mali couldn't even imagine the outcome.

Unexpectedly, Yang Mo smiled nonchalantly and said, "Have those companies paid the penalty for breach of contract?"

Zhuo Mali was stunned, then nodded and glanced at the information in her hand: "Basically, all of them have been paid. The penalty payable is 673.8 million, and the actual payment is 614 million... There are still 8 companies that owe 59.8 in penalty that have not been paid, but the other party has guaranteed that they will pay it all before June 6."

Yang Mo rubbed his chin: "So straightforward...it seems that you are very confident!"

Yang Mo thought for a moment and said, "I heard that these companies either have plans to drastically reduce production tasks, or have basically stopped their machines?"

Zhuo Mali sighed: "After all, people prefer leisure to work. Since you can easily make money, why bother to work hard in the workshop?"

"In addition, these companies incur considerable expenses every year for work-related injury compensation and treatment of injured employees. Cutting or even stopping production tasks while there is income is a very cost-effective thing for management."

At this point, Zhuo Mali sneered: "It is said that the employees of these units are celebrating and singing praises, thinking that they have entered the GC society in advance!"

Yang Mo naturally knew what the peach was sneering at, and immediately shook his head: "Don't generalize. Although there are quite a lot of expensive workers in state-owned enterprises nowadays, there are also a lot of grassroots employees who have nothing... These employees have grown up in a closed factory circle for a long time, and they don't know much about the outside world, nor do they have much thinking habits. They just follow the crowd."

As he spoke, Yang Mo tapped his fingers on the table a few times out of habit: "Since the production tasks have to be drastically reduced, then the equipment in these factories will not be used for the time being?"

"Well, have someone talk to them and ask them to sell us the equipment they don't need at a lower price... It would be best if they could sell it as a set. If the price is lower than the normal second-hand price, that would be even better."

"After all, they were the ones who broke the contract first, and they are morally sorry for us. In addition, we both had a pleasant cooperation experience before, so it is not impossible for them to sell these equipment to us at the price of scrap metal."

Zhuomali's forehead turned dark.

First it was cheaper, then it was the second-hand price, and finally it became the scrap iron price. It has fallen three times in a row. It would be a pity if you didn't become a black-hearted businessman.

But she was a little confused: "Why buy these devices? It's not like we don't have overseas channels."

Yang Mo smiled and said, "They don't want to do manufacturing honestly, but there are many people willing to take orders... In the three regions of Shandong, Henan and Hebei, I wonder how many villages are worried about having no work!"

Zhuo Mali was stunned and exclaimed: "You plan to transfer these production capacities to rural areas instead of transferring orders to state-owned enterprises in other regions?"

Today, Dahua has three major strategic support points, one of which is the "Shandong, Henan and Hebei Industrial Manufacturing Cooperation Framework".

Since it can be called a strategic support point, the importance of this framework is beyond doubt... In fact, this is a very important means of leveraging momentum, and it is also an important chess piece used by Yang Mo in the game. The outcome of the Wei family proves that this chess piece is extremely useful.

But the problem is, if you want to take advantage of the situation, you also need to pay something.

As a business, Dahua's most valuable bargaining chip at the moment is its enviable large business orders.

In this era when the economy is beginning to take off, but the northern inland areas are still relatively difficult, the positive significance of those orders to various places is self-evident.

Therefore, after those 67 enterprises terminated their cooperation with Dahua, although Zhuo Mali was worried about the future changes in the situation, she never worried whether the goods on those orders could be delivered in sufficient quantities as scheduled... North China is a famous manufacturing concentration area. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will do it. If you deliver these orders to other enterprises within the framework, you may even get a favor.

It’s just that there is a difference between delivery and delivery.

The results will be very different if the production is handed over to local state-owned enterprises or local village collectives are asked to take over the orders.

Don’t forget that the main economic entities in various places today are the local state-owned enterprises;
With the rise of township enterprises in recent years, local state-owned enterprises, which have been defeated again and again in market competition, hate those township enterprises that "stole their jobs" with a vengeance.

You should know that in terms of the current domestic industrial manufacturing level, only state-owned enterprises with a certain scale have the ability and qualifications to manufacture products such as nuts, special-shaped steel pipes, and electronic components, while township enterprises can only engage in some low-tech clothing, toys, food, paper and plastic products, plus some ordinary metal accessories.

Therefore, if Yang Mo really intends to transfer these orders, including nuts, along with equipment and production capacity, to those village collective enterprises, then the signal sent out and the possible negative effects... Seeing Zhuo Mali's worried look, Yang Mo sneered: "Just go and arrange it."

"Oh, are these orders really guaranteed if they are transferred to other local state-owned enterprises?"

"Today, these 67 companies can unilaterally break their contracts with us in order to pool their funds to make money in the stock market. Will other companies not do the same?"

"They keep regretting this. What if the goods really can't be delivered? Can the reconstruction of the disaster area continue? Can the business restructuring and industrial adjustment plan of East China be carried out as scheduled? If something goes wrong in the process, are they willing to take the responsibility? "

After easily finding a bunch of high-sounding reasons, Yang Mo snorted: "Humph, now it's obvious that someone wants to attack me, but they are just standing by and watching... In this case, before proving our attitude, you can't blame us for sinking these orders and production capacity to the grassroots level in the countryside in order to protect ourselves."

Zhuo Mali naturally knew that Yang Mo was expressing his opinion, but she still couldn't help but frowned: "But the question is... is it safe to transfer production capacity to rural areas?"

Sighing softly, Zhuomali looked at the man in front of her with some concern: "I know you come from the countryside and have deep feelings for it; but as I said, people always prefer leisure to work... What if those people copy the existing methods to those village collective enterprises?"

Zhuo Mali gritted her teeth and lowered her voice. "I should say something that I shouldn't say. We can believe in the power of the masses, but we shouldn't believe in their intelligence... Rural areas don't have high levels of education, and the current living standards are generally low. In some areas, people can even die for ten yuan."

"Under these circumstances, I really don't have the confidence to believe that those villagers will not stab us again just for a few tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan that they can easily get."

Looking at Zhuo Mali's worried expression, Yang Mo was silent.

If you are not a very close person, you will not give such extremely inappropriate advice in such an occasion, which may even be easily exaggerated.

But he is well aware that this is a consensus among most of the elites in the country today.

They believe that "human nature is evil" and will always look at things from the most negative attitude and perspective.
They believe in the "instinct theory" and tend to formulate strategies and plans by tapping into and stimulating human animal instincts.

Obviously, in rural grassroots areas where education is relatively lacking and cultural levels are generally low, in the eyes of many people, the collective animal instincts are more obvious, and therefore the possibility of being driven by the instinct for profit is greater... Even a small lever is needed to stimulate the dark side of their human nature.

Yang Mo didn't know how to comment on this.

He didn't want to comment either.

After all, broadly speaking, there are indeed many problems in rural areas today, and many things that have happened have proved that you cannot say that these people's views are really completely wrong.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo sighed heavily: "Sister Zhuo, you know, in my opinion... people are different from each other, and regions are also different from each other."

After saying something inexplicable, Yang Mo picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, his eyes looking a little distant: "In terms of current reputation, across the country, people from Bashu and Henan are probably the least popular. There are all kinds of messed up titles... such as Sichuan rats, Henan liars, etc."

"But the question is, are these so-called word-of-mouth reviews really objective?"

"I don't know about other places, but here in Dezhou, nearly half of the store managers of Momo Baichao are from Sichuan, and the proportion of employees from Sichuan is also about the same... There's no need to say more about their reputation and trustworthiness, right?"

"In fact, from what I've learned, although there are indeed some bad-tempered people among the Bashu people, the main reason why they have a bad reputation now is that they have traveled all over China and robbed too many local people of their livelihoods... After all, many of these people are now engaged in the most basic manual labor, and they will do it for money, which has ruined the local market to a certain extent."

"So, if you look at it from another angle, this is called hard work... If hard work is also wrong, then I don't think the main responsibility lies with them."

After laughing, Yang Mo continued, "The situation in Henan Province is the same."

"I don't deny that many places in China have the habit of bragging and boasting, nor do I deny that there are some selfish people and liars among them. The customs in some areas are even criticized."

"But what if I told you that Henan Province, which has the lowest per capita income in the country, is actually the most enthusiastic place in the country to support the disaster-stricken areas, and that many people would rather tighten their belts last year and spontaneously donate their limited money, clothes and food to support the disaster-stricken areas in East China? (To be honest, many people don't know that whenever there is a disaster in the country, Henan Province, which has the lowest per capita wage level, is the place that donates the most.)"

"Will you have a much different opinion of this place which is right on the border of Qi and Lu but I have never known much about it?"

After a pause, Yang Mo seemed to be summing up: "The three provinces of the Central Plains are, on the one hand, the inheritance of China's millennium culture, but on the other hand, they are also the places with the heaviest atmosphere of the underworld. Perhaps the polarization is a bit serious, but... I still think that the people in this land are always a little different."

Understanding Yang Mo's implication, Zhuo Mali frowned: "Boss, you are the general manager of Dahua Company and the general manager of Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company... As a superior, you should not have such naive romantic feelings!"

Zhuo Mali's words were already very serious. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Mo's important move and decision could affect thousands of companies and even hundreds of thousands of people, and was related to the future of the entire ship, she would never have said such words.

But there is no way. This kind of romantic sentiment is too naive when it appears in someone of Yang Mo's status and influence.

So childish...almost disastrous!
Hearing this, Yang Mo smiled indifferently, and after a moment's silence, he spoke: "Sister Zhuo, remember I once asked you, what was the purpose of all the things I have done over the years?"

Zhuo Mali was stunned for a moment, then nodded with some resentment.

Yang Mo laughed at himself: "In fact, I haven't figured out what I really want."

"It's just that I think what you just said may not be correct... or rather, it's not complete."

Zhuomali: “?”

Yang Mo lazily held a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes somewhat distant: "Indeed, we should not trust the IQ of the masses in many things; however, I have always believed that... in fact, we can try to trust the conscience, simplicity and morality of the masses."

"At least... in some rural areas of the three provinces in the Central Plains, we can give it a try."

Seeing Zhuo Mali frowned again, Yang Mo raised his hand to interrupt her: "Sister Zhuo, there is no need to persuade me anymore. Let me be willful for a while... Maybe when it's over, I will understand what I want to achieve."

What is this picture?
Instead of what?
After understanding the subtle difference in this sentence, Zhuomali's heart suddenly trembled and she immediately swallowed the words in her stomach.

With another promotion coming up, and the enthusiasm shown by some leaders in the administrative system, Yang Mo's future development path suddenly became diversified.

Therefore, the question of "what to plan for" has suddenly become very mysterious and extremely important.

Sighing silently, Zhuo Mali looked at Yang Mo with some helplessness in her eyes.

Well, having created such a big plate from scratch, Yang Mo now, seriously speaking, does have the qualifications to be willful for once.

Forget it, let him be.

Zhuo Mali pinched her brows lightly and sighed again with some tiredness: "But the problem is, judging from the current situation, if you plan to take the opportunity to transfer the production capacity of these orders to rural areas, you will need to invest a lot in the future... But now Dahua's capital pool has basically bottomed out, and Dezhou Urban Property Fund's bonds cannot be issued indiscriminately, so how do you solve the funding problem?"

Products such as nuts, special-shaped steel pipes, and electronic components are different from those of clothing and food. Each factory means huge fixed asset investment and operating funds... Even if you can buy second-hand equipment from other factories at a very cheap price, the funds required to make it operate are still a huge amount.

If you're just transferring one or two projects, or even dozens of projects, that's fine.

But the problem is that judging from the current situation, in the future, more and more companies will unilaterally cancel cooperation with Dahua. It may be okay to transfer dozens of projects to rural areas, but what if there are hundreds?

Where does Dahua, a company that needs money and continuous investment everywhere, get so much new funds?

Unexpectedly, Yang Mo chuckled when he heard this: "Sister Zhuo, you don't have to worry about the funding issue. Just go for it. I will definitely not let you get embarrassed when the time comes."

Zhuo Mali looked at him suspiciously: "Just do it? Brother, where do we get so much money now?"

Yang Mo shook off the cigarette ash and looked at her with a smile: "Sister Zhuo, haven't you noticed that you haven't seen Lao Song for several days?"

Song Wenxuan?
Zhuo Mali was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You mean...?"

Yang Mo nodded: "If Kou can go, I can go too... Tsk, it's as if our country's current stock market has many technical difficulties."

"Don't forget, we are a central enterprise in the oil system. Even though we are a little far away from the financial system, if we really want to do something, we have the resources and methods to do it even if we don't participate in their game."

Without participating in the game played by the financial system, can you still have your own resources and methods?
Zhuo Mali's eyes widened, and then she suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "You mean... Shenzhen?"

Yang Mo nodded and looked at her with a smile: "That's right!"
