After returning to Yuezhou, the acquisition of more than 20 light industry factories went very smoothly.
After all, these factories have completely collapsed and are on the verge of collapse. They rely entirely on government subsidies to survive. Theoretically speaking, they are completely bankrupt enterprises.
When the workers are poor, they want to change. They don’t even have money to eat. Who cares whether it is capitalist or socialist?
Anyway, everyone knows that this was sold to the boss of Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical. That guy has a very good reputation. Whether it is salary or benefits, he is far ahead of many companies in Yuezhou, even better than Yue Steel Plant.
Therefore, both the employees and the Yuezhou Municipal Government are quite supportive, and even the factory directors and managers of these factories strongly support it.
They have long been eager to jump out of this quagmire.
Of course, the biggest contributor to the successful acquisition was money. Chen Xia paid a full 100 million Hong Kong dollars this time, which is nearly 40 million yuan when converted into RMB.
This was an astronomical figure in the 1980s. These companies that were originally losing money suddenly became popular foreign exchange earners.
Originally, it didn't cost so much money, mainly because the Yuezhou Municipal Government was very determined to carry out the reform, and even sold the larger "Yuezhou Bicycles" in one go.
This was a pleasant surprise for Chen Xia, because the bicycle factory occupied several hundred acres of land and was located in the south of the city. It happened to be a neighbor of the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory, and the land was connected together.
When real estate is developed in the future, the southern part of the city, west of Jiefang Road, will almost all belong to Chen Xia.
In addition, the same province also praised this "Yuezhou Model",
Transferring those state-owned factories that have no hope of making a profit and are suffering heavy losses to foreign capital can not only generate a considerable amount of foreign exchange, but also solve the employment problem and stabilize the local society.
This also gives Chen Xia's acquisition behavior a "protective charm" to prevent it from being considered as embezzlement of state-owned assets in the future.
Through this acquisition, Chen Xia can now use the HK$1.5 billion that he had "borrowed" from Wing Lung Bank openly.
Chen Shuqin secretly found an agency to launder the money and it became the legal income of the "Four Seasons Group", but the US dollars were quite conspicuous, so they were still kept in the Space Hospital without being moved.
What has not been moved are the more than 50 million new Hong Kong dollar banknotes, for fear that the new banknote codes will be exposed.
Old banknotes do not have this problem. In the 1980s, there was no technology to automatically identify and store banknote codes when counting banknotes. Being backward also has its advantages.
In order to establish a new company, Chen Defa and Chen Shuqin came from Hong Kong in person as investors.
The "Four Seasons Group" has newly established a "Four Seasons Department Store" in Yuezhou, which is on the same level as the "Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory" and the "Four Seasons Textile Factory".
Because these factories implemented the "collective contracting system of the Chen family's descendants in Qingfeng Village", Chen Xia deliberately separated Chen Qiaogu from the pharmaceutical factory and appointed her as the general manager of this new company.
In order to ensure a safe start-up for the company and to intimidate the Chen family members, Chen Xia even brought out nuclear weapons.
The clan leader Chen Yigen personally serves as the consultant of Four Seasons Department Store, and Chen Guoqing serves as the chief accountant.
No one in the Chen family, young or old, is not afraid of the patriarch Chen Yigen. With him around, no factory can be in chaos and the accounts are always pretty much correct.
Anyway, Chen Yigen has made it clear in advance that anyone who does something dishonest will not only be fired but also sent to prison.
If Chen Xia said this, there would definitely be a few ungrateful people who would not accept it. But if Chen Yigen said it, it would be different. The old man would get angry and directly expel you from the family tree. Then you would not be able to be buried in the ancestral tomb and you would have no place to cry.
Of course, the person Chen Xia trusts the most is definitely Qiaogu.
Chen Qiaogu was his first management employee. She started from the small workshop in Meiyuan, became the director of the Qingfeng Village Pharmaceutical Factory, and then became the Chinese manager of the Nanguateng Pharmaceutical Factory.
This time, as the general manager of the newly established "Four Seasons Department Store", her work is quite tedious.
For example, the current orders are produced according to the samples provided by Walmart, and Chen Qiaogu must arrange production and acceptance according to the situation of each branch.
Another thing is the purchase of raw materials, which is also arranged by the head office.
But Four Seasons Department Store currently has only more than 20 factories, most of which are small factories. What should it do with insufficient production capacity?
The number of orders from Walmart is huge, and it is foreseeable that their demand for goods will only increase in the future.
Then Chen Qiaogu needs to find another suitable "OEM factory" to produce the products under the company's brand name, and then ship the products to Hong Kong and then export them to the United States.
Therefore, the position of general manager is very important. One must be meticulous, and Chen Qiaogu has an advantage as a woman.
Another thing is to be honest. Whether it is the purchase of raw materials or placing OEM orders, these are all lucrative jobs.
For example, the Four Seasons Department Store needs a blue ball this time, but the production of the branch factory is only pieces, so the remaining pieces need to be outsourced for OEM, and the Four Seasons Company makes a profit from the difference.
At that time, it will be very important to decide who to give the order to and who not to give it to. If a boss gives red envelopes, opens the back door, and increases the purchase price by 10% or 20%, then the "Four Seasons Department Store" will lose profits.
Therefore, this position must be filled by the person Chen Xia trusts the most, and Chen Qiaogu is the most suitable member of the management team.
In this way, Chen Xia can boldly delegate power and become his hands-off boss.
This time, becoming the general manager of "Four Seasons Department Store" was the first time that Chen Qiaogu was promoted to the third-level management of "Four Seasons Group".
M1 is the chairman Chen Defa, M2 is the vice chairman and group president Chen Shuqin, and M3 is the general managers and department directors of each branch.
M3 includes Ye Shirong, general manager of "Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical", Chen Qiaogu, general manager of "Four Seasons Department Store", Dai Ning, general manager of "Four Seasons Textile Company",
Lin Hui, general manager of "Caiyunzhinan Jewelry Company", Li Zhibai, director of "Xiangjiang Margaret Hospital", and Hu Jianfeng, general manager of "Four Seasons Security Company".
Another special M3 management member is my brother-in-law Zheng Haisheng, who is the head of the "Minglu Laboratory". However, this laboratory is kept absolutely confidential and cannot be made public.
In addition, Chen Shuqin is directly responsible for "Four Seasons Property Company" and "Four Seasons Investment Company".
Currently, both companies are in a blind buying mode, and their businesses are very simple. They don’t need any strong department managers for the time being, and just some professional managers will do.
The last one is "Hong Kong Four Seasons Trading Company".
Chen Shuqin personally found her college classmate Shi Beihua to be the general manager. She is temporarily considered the company's M4 management, and will be promoted after her ability is proven in the future.
Shi Beihua previously worked in a trading company and has nearly 20 years of experience. It would not be too difficult for her to take on this position. After all, the business of this trading company is relatively simple and for the time being it only needs to export to Walmart.
Of course, as the scale of the mainland factory expands, she will definitely need to find new customers and develop channels independently, and then her work ability will be reflected.
