With the green light from the province, Yuezhou and Xiangjiang Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company began the second round of negotiations.
This is when differences arise.
Chen Shuqin wanted to set up a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, but the mainland's policy is currently still based on joint ventures, and the state must hold a certain amount of shares. The Yuezhou region even proposed a 51% controlling stake.
This request left Chen Shuqin and the entire Hong Kong negotiation team dumbfounded. What was going on? I provided the money, the equipment, and the capital, but I only got less than half the shares?
This is simply unimaginable for people from capitalist areas.
Even Chen Xia, the reborn person, found it hard to imagine. Accustomed to the business rules of later generations, his ideas were very simple. The shareholding ratio was based on the investment ratio. How could he give you the majority of the shares for no reason?
Moreover, whether it is amoxicillin or omeprazole, just based on these two products, the pharmaceutical factory that the Chen family is planning to invest in is definitely going to make huge profits. How can this cake be given away just like that?
Chen Shuqin and Chen Xia, the aunt and niece, are very determined. It would be best if they could own the company alone, but if that is not possible, they must have a controlling stake.
If you can't even achieve controlling stake, then what's the point? You might as well just invest in Shenzhen, or buy land in Hong Kong and start your business.
Li Bingquan and Han Dingze were embarrassed by Hong Kong's attitude. In fact, even they themselves felt it was unreasonable. The money was paid by others, but they had to take the lion's share. They would not be willing to do that either.
So the negotiations reached a bit of a stalemate.
Chen Xia has no time to care about these things now. He even stopped going to work and stayed at home every day as a "good husband". He found delicious food for Gu Lin in various ways every day.
There was no need to mention pheasants, ducks, and wild boars. There was no shortage of lobsters, abalone, and bird's nests. Anyway, as long as Gu Lin asked what he wanted to eat, whether it was flying in the sky or swimming in the sea, even if it was a beast that would be imprisoned for a lifetime, he would find a way to get it.
I ate a lot of delicious food every day, but was scolded by Mrs. Zeng, the director of obstetrics and gynecology, who came to visit me in Xiyuan:
"Chen Xia, are you a doctor yourself? Do you think it's okay to eat meat and sweets every day? Aren't you afraid of developing gestational diabetes or pregnancy-induced hypertension?"
Chen Xia was sweating like Genghis Khan, and he accepted the criticism obediently.
While there was singing and laughter in Xiyuan every day, the employees of Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory began to become restless again, and the quarterly protests began again.
Li Bingquan and Han Dingze looked at the workers at the gate of the regional headquarters and were really speechless.
They'll come and make trouble every once in a while, and won't leave until they get paid. Now the workers are all regular employees, the masters of the country, and the region can't use force against them.
Not only can we not use violence or arrest those who are leading the trouble, but we must also persuade them with kind words and give them money as subsidies.
This is endless, when will it end?
Seeing the two chief officers looking so worried, Bao Yong, the manager of the pharmaceutical company, was thinking very fast.
The thought that they had to use part of the money they earned from the Qingfeng branch to subsidize the Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory was like cutting off his own flesh and blood.
Since factories in socialist countries cannot be closed down or go bankrupt, and they have to be kept going even when there is no business, can we change our thinking and contract out this factory?
Well, in fact, the trend of contracting out factories or workshops had already begun in 1984. This is an open secret.
Originally, Yuezhou started its shareholding reform in 1984. The first reformed "Yuezhou Department Store" was later directly listed.
In a few years, not to mention factories, even hospital departments can be contracted out. Xiaoshan County, Zhijiang Province, even sold all local township hospitals and some public county hospitals in one go.
So some readers cannot use your local situation to judge the national situation.
Readers in inland areas, in particular, should not arbitrarily assume that the 1980s was extremely conservative and closed.
In fact, the development levels of each province and each region are different, and the degree of openness of coastal and inland areas can only be divided into "generations".
Things like food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, etc. were not cancelled in many places until the early 1990s.
By 1984, grain coupons and meat coupons were no longer of much use in Zhijiang Province because the commodity economy had begun to circulate. Farmers carried their own loads to the city to sell meat, chickens and ducks, so why would they need meat coupons?
With the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, there is no shortage of food in Zhijiang Province. If you want to buy food, why go to the grain store? There is not much food in the farmers' market.
What kind of grain is a monopoly? Is it illegal for farmers to sell rice grown by themselves?
Moreover, with the development of the economy, many grocery stores, such as cake shops, traditional pastry shops, and small restaurants, have regained their vitality. They can purchase grain freely, and it is not only the grain stations that can purchase it.
The 1980s was a vigorous era of opening up. Don’t think too much of this era. Although it was poor, it was definitely not conservative.
On the contrary, 2020 is becoming increasingly conservative. Do your leaders have the courage to sell the hospital? The state-owned enterprises are advancing and the private enterprises are retreating in many industries.
The camera turns to the Yuezhou agency in 1984.
Bao Yong secretly encouraged himself and took a deep breath. "Secretary Li, Commissioner Han, I have a suggestion. Don't Hong Kong merchants want to invest in a pharmaceutical factory? Then, should we sell the Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory to them?"
Li Bingquan almost coughed to death after taking a puff of his cigarette, while Han Dingze spat out all the tea in his mouth.
