Chapter 135: Factory Auction



Liu Yanran has been incredibly busy lately, throwing herself into a factory auction. Organized by the government, the auction has a limited number of participants, but competition is fierce. The properties being auctioned are a towel factory and a candy factory.

Despite the high demand for these two products, Gwanggyeong City already had four towel factories and five candy factories, resulting in an oversupply. Consequently, the government decided to sell the two factories and reassign the workers to other similar factories. Since the factories and equipment were sold together, the price was naturally high.

However, Liu Yanran had a unique advantage. As a military dependent, she had a long-standing reputation for actively donating to military and educational institutions. Even though this was the country's first bold attempt at developing private enterprise, the leaders were willing to give her this opportunity. They knew that once Liu Yanran became successful, she would not hesitate to use her wealth for genuine donations, making greater contributions to society.

Putting aside other aspects, just looking at her over a year studying in Beijing, she has donated nearly 30,000 yuan to the military region and 50,000 yuan to the Ministry of Education. Furthermore, I heard she built schools in both her husband's hometown and her own hometown. This kind of pattern is truly admirable.

As the saying goes, "Take from the people and give back to the people." From ancient times to the present, only those who can win the hearts of the people can rule the world. Therefore, no matter what business activities she engages in after purchasing these two factories, her prospects will be very bright.

Liu Yanran had a clear plan for the two factories: one would be used to produce chocolate, and the other would be used to make hot pot base.

The reason why chocolate was chosen as one of the products is that the current domestic chocolate market is almost entirely dependent on foreign imports, resulting in prices remaining high and making it difficult for ordinary people to afford.

In addition, chocolate is a great way for soldiers on the front lines to carry around and replenish their energy. Considering that many of her family members and friends are serving in the military, she cannot take the risks for them, but she can do her best to ensure their well-being.

Now, thanks to Liu Yanran's generosity, the troops in Jing City and the troops on the border of Yue State are guaranteed to enjoy meat at least once a week. This change not only improves their quality of life, but also makes the soldiers more motivated during training.

As for the hot pot seasoning, it is entirely for the purpose of promoting the business development of Liuji Hot Pot. In this way, more customers can be attracted to know and love Liuji Hot Pot, and lay a solid foundation for opening branches across the country in the future.

Considering the brand's reputation, Liu Yanran decided to abandon the franchise model and switch to a direct-operated model. This way, the headquarters could dispatch professionals to various locations to conduct training and ensure that each branch maintained high quality standards, thus avoiding damage to the company's reputation due to poor management of franchise stores.

The hot pot seasoning produced by the factory will be used in various branches to ensure consistent product quality and taste.

There were also several other bidders, the most threatening of whom was Wu Dayong. Because the factory was originally donated to the international community by the Wu family, they enjoyed the right of first refusal, of course, on the premise that their bids were the same.

Although Liu Yanran is rich, she still doesn't want to expose it, mainly because she is afraid that the scumbag Lin Ye will set his sights on her third sister again. Although her third sister has sealed her heart and locked away her love now, there is no guarantee that she can be blind once but not a second time, so it was Deng Jingxuan who came forward this time.

Liu Yanran went along with them, and in order to avoid giving others a chance to talk, she also brought along Deng Jingxuan's new secretary, Yu Long, who was a senior at Peking University who was about to graduate and was currently doing an internship.

Because Tang Xiaoxiao lost to Liu Yanran when buying a car last time, this time she pestered Wu Dayong to buy the two factories. Of course, Wu Dayong also wanted to buy them, as he had plenty of money.

But the Wu family now only has money. All the previous factories have been donated, and now they are all state-owned factories. Although most of the Wu family’s property was retained at that time, he cannot just sit back and enjoy the money. He was not so eager to expand his business before, and felt that it was enough to enjoy the present. But now he has a son, of course he has to work hard for his son.

So in the end, those who were at the negotiation table, in addition to the staff from the Finance Department and the Commerce Department, were Liu Yanran, Deng Jingxuan, Yu Long, Wu Dayong, Tang Xiaoxiao, Lin Ye and his secretary Li Kaixuan.

The bids from both parties were comparable. The people from the Finance Department preferred Liu Yanran because the money she donated had passed through the Finance Department, so they knew her character. The people from the Commerce Department had their eyes on Wu Dayong because the current person in charge happened to be a comrade-in-arms of Wu Dayong's father. Knowing that their family had sacrificed their lives for the country, they felt that they could not disappoint the martyrs. Moreover, the factory was originally donated by the Wu family, and it was agreed that their family had the right of first refusal.

So now we need to evaluate the arrangements after both parties buy the factory, see whose ideas can impress the two parties more, and then choose to whom to sell the two factories.

Wu Dayong has no plans to set up other factories. He just wants to improve the existing products. For example, the sugar factory can increase the flavors and types of candies, and the towel factory can add richer patterns, so that the purchased equipment will not be wasted.

Liu Yanran also expressed her ideas here, and the Ministry of Commerce hesitated. They originally sold the factory to share the pressure and did not want the sugar factory and towel factory to be too stressed. Wu Dayong's idea was obviously the same old idea in a new bottle, while Liu Yanran's idea was more innovative and could also drive economic development.

In addition, Liu Yanran also took out a business plan, listing the feasibility of the product, the product's sales channels, and the purchase of production lines. It was obviously more convincing than Wu Dayong's paper talk, so in the end the people from the Ministry of Commerce also compromised. With Tang Xiaoxiao almost biting her teeth, Liu Yanran successfully acquired the factory and equipment for 150,000 yuan.

After taking over the factory buildings, Liu Yanran started to renovate the two factories. She did not waste the equipment in the factory. She called the leader in Gusu County, Suzhou City, and asked him to see if the county would consider setting up a sugar factory and a towel factory. She had the equipment.

Liujiaopo belongs to Gusu County under Su City. Because Liu Yanran opened a school, the entire county has now developed. If a sugar factory and a towel factory are opened, the economy will be even better.

So the leader held a meeting overnight, and the next morning he couldn't wait to write back to Liu Yanran saying that he wanted it, and he also did a favor and built the factory on the other side of Liujiaopo, which is the junction of Liujiaopo and Chenjia Village. The people of Liujiaopo enjoyed priority in recruitment.

So the next day Liu Yanran arranged a train to transport the equipment back to Gusu County. Since then, Gusu County's GDP has been far ahead of Suzhou City. Every time she went back to the city, she was praised for attending meetings, and the leaders were very happy.

As a result, the economy of Liujiaopo became more and more developed. At least one person in each family was a worker, and everyone could afford to eat and go to school. Even the living standards of several surrounding villages improved. Even several people in Chenjia Village passed the exam and got jobs in the factory. Even the children had to go a long way to go to school, so Chen Er and his family were ostracized in the village.
