Although the region had a lot of arguments during the meeting, is it possible to do a business of acquiring a pharmaceutical company that has nothing to offer for HK$20 million?

In Li Bingquan's eyes, Yuezhou region would make a lot of money, and even Han Dingze was inclined to sell it.

In fact, their thinking was flawed. In their eyes, Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory had outdated equipment, troublesome employees, and didn't even have a flagship product. Besides being a burden, what other advantages did such a factory have?

As for the land, they didn't even think about it.

Because the land was allocated when the pharmaceutical factory was built, it didn't cost a penny. And since there was no real estate speculation in those days, this most valuable asset was actually overlooked.

Moreover, once Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company establishes a wholly foreign-owned pharmaceutical factory in Yuezhou, how much tax and jobs can it contribute to Yuezhou each year? The most important thing is that one of the criteria for evaluating leading cadres is economic development.

Ever since the old man’s southern tour, everyone knows that cadres who are good at economics will be promoted quickly in the future, and everyone wants to take advantage of this momentum and be the pig that takes off.

The Yuezhou region finally reached a consensus, and when the matter was reported to the provincial government, what could Xu Hongtai say? What was wrong with selling a state-owned factory that had ceased production and was essentially bankrupt?

The key point is that this is a major project with an initial investment of 150 million Hong Kong dollars. It is also the first project in Zhijiang Province with an investment of over 100 million yuan. It cannot be overemphasized.

The key point is that Xu Hongtai has already learned from his son that this pharmaceutical factory belongs to the Chen Xia family.

In fact, he had always sympathized with his daughter and felt very guilty about her "ex-boyfriend". Now that the Chen family wants to invest in the mainland, he, as the main leader, will of course give the green light.

However, selling state-owned factories to foreign capital is still a sensitive issue in China, and Xu Hongtai also reported it to the top leaders.

Chen Xia was also lucky. The senior leader was just thinking about how to speed up reform and opening up. When he saw the request report, he found that this was just a small pharmaceutical factory in Yuezhou that had stopped production, and foreign investors were willing to spend 20 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire it. This made him see the light.

The reform of state-owned enterprises has always been a difficult problem that has given him a headache. Perhaps cooperating with foreign capital would be an opportunity for such bad enterprises?

An instruction was given immediately: it can be piloted.

The imperial sword is obtained!

The higher-ups agreed, but there was an uproar inside the Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory.

The workers were the first to quit. They were good workers for the state, and suddenly they had to work for capitalists? This was a joke!

What else to say? Just keep making trouble, so a group of people eagerly headed to the district office to seek justice.

Huang Xinge hurriedly ran back and forth to try to stop them, but today was no longer a matter of giving out a few dollars in subsidies, but a major issue concerning their survival, and they would not listen to anyone.

Just when everyone was in the clamor, a red SUV suddenly drove in from the factory gate, followed by several small jeeps that drove up one after another, blocking the factory gate.

Everyone was wondering who drove this imported car that they had never seen before and looked very expensive?

At this time, Chen Xia and Chen Shuqin got out of the car and saw the dilapidated factory and the messy workers. If it weren't for the land, she would never want to buy such a pharmaceutical factory.

In comparison, Hong Kong's Australia and America Pharmaceuticals is absolutely formal, and the two pharmaceutical factories are not at the same level at all.

While everyone was stunned, Chen Xia climbed onto the SUV, stood on the roof, and shouted to the workers below:

"You may not know me, but I'm Chen Xia, the head of the General Affairs Department of Yuezhou People's Hospital. It was my grandfather and aunt who acquired your pharmaceutical factory, so on their behalf, I have something to say to you."

The workers started talking about it. Some lamented that this boy became a section chief at such a young age, while others envied him for having a good grandfather. In addition to these gossips, more workers also wanted to hear what the employer had to say, so the scene immediately became quiet.

"Let me tell you, you still want to make a fuss, complaining about this and that. In fact, from the very beginning, the Hong Kong merchants never agreed to acquire your Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory. Let's take a look at your factory. Does it still look like a pharmaceutical factory?"

A few people blushed when they heard this, but most of the workers didn't seem to care.

"If you don't want to acquire us, then don't buy us. We don't want you!!!"

"Yes, we working class people are the most powerful. We don't want a takeover!"

Chen Xia looked at the atmosphere and immediately shouted:

"You don't want it, you don't want to live on 20 yuan a month? And your wife, children, parents suffer with you? You can't buy new clothes for the New Year, and you can't eat meat on weekdays. Do you want such a life?"

Everyone thought about it and it made sense. There was no hope for the pharmaceutical factory to resume production, which also meant that they could only live on a salary of more than 20 yuan for the rest of their lives. When would this end?

The people of Yuezhou are entrepreneurial in nature and very smart. How could they possibly hang themselves on a tree?

In the previous riots, the ones who caused the most trouble were a few well-known lazy people in the factory, and most of the workers were just following suit.

"So, District Secretary Li and Commissioner Han are worried sick about you. Do you think you're losing money just because you sold the factory to the Hong Kong people? In fact, they are the ones who suffered the biggest loss. Not only did they spend 20 million Hong Kong dollars to buy your pharmaceutical factory, which has nothing on it, but they also have to invest 150 million to fully upgrade it.

Tell me, what do the Hong Kong merchants want from you? Because you sleep in all day? Because of your shabby factory buildings? Or because of your rusty machines? Come on, you, tell me, what do the Hong Kong people want from you?

A young worker who was named was so frightened that he stammered, "Tutu, yes, what do you want from us?"

Some people almost laughed.

"So, stop clinging to the idea of ​​a permanent job. Do you think you can just wait and see? But will the country support you for free? How can you be sure that the state-owned factories won't close down? That you won't be laid off?

Now that Hong Kong merchants have acquired your pharmaceutical factory, after it's completely renovated, you can continue to work as workers, earn a high salary, and provide material security for your families. Isn't that a good thing?"

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "We don't believe it. The capitalists are all trying to exploit us."

"Exploiting you? Your pharmaceutical factory also has workers working at the Qingfeng branch. Go and ask them how much they earn a month. The current monthly salary is 70 yuan per person. Are they also being exploited by the capitalists?"

If this is considered exploitation, then I think the more exploitation there is, the better. They are being exploited and earn 70 yuan a month, while you, the working class who are in charge of your own affairs, earn 20 yuan a month. That's more than three times the difference. Aren't you jealous?

At this time, most workers began to think...
