In the early 1960s, the country's total power generation was less than 5 million kWh.
Now we can get 20 million kilowatts in one go, which is enough for a country in another time and space to achieve a great leap forward in electricity development.
15 billion RMB can provide electricity to the entire country, and this business will make a huge profit.
Although Section Chief Song appears to be cheerful on the surface, people in his line of work are actually very meticulous in their hearts.
He had been observing Lin Sanqi's expression for a long time. Seeing that he was not dissatisfied but rather looked pleased, Section Chief Song felt relieved.
So I prepared to push the envelope.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think? We've been so busy for a capitalist like you that we couldn't even celebrate the Spring Festival. Don't you have to show some appreciation?"
Lin Sanqi scratched his head: "Then I'll treat you to a meal?"
Section Chief Song rolled his eyes and said, "We need a meal from you. Please pay us for the goods as soon as possible. As soon as the funds arrive, I will personally pay for your meal."
Lin Sanqi is not a fool. How can he pay for the thing when it is not in his hands yet?
What if you pay the money and then they refuse to give you the second-hand generator set? Or what if they give you a bunch of junk that you can’t produce at all?
"Chief Song, don't be anxious. Since we're doing business, I'll naturally inspect the goods. Don't worry, as long as your goods are authentic, I'll pay you readily. Others may not know, but you don't know my financial strength, do you?"
Section Chief Song is obviously an impatient person.
To be able to enter this special department and serve as a leader, in addition to having strong political thinking and outstanding business capabilities, one must also have a strong family background.
For example, the imperial guards in ancient times were mainly the children of royal relatives and important court officials, and the children of common people were almost unable to get in.
People who come from such families are bound to have arrogant tempers and are eager to achieve results. To put it nicely, they are willful.
So Section Chief Song was so anxious, probably because he wanted to take credit from his elders.
"Ah, Mr. Lin, Boss Lin. 15 billion is just a drop in the bucket for you. Besides, how could I possibly cheat you? Look, before the New Year, you said Huadu Pharmaceutical wouldn't cooperate with your procurement plan, and I helped you settle it."
Lin Sanqi was delighted when he heard it.
He wanted to set up his own pharmaceutical production base in another time and space. The production line and raw material factory were the key among the keys, and other power plants and water plants were just supporting facilities.
Huadu Pharmaceutical is extremely large, with 35,000 employees alone and an annual turnover of over 30 billion US dollars. Of course, their profits are not announced, probably because they are embarrassed to do so. It is a state-owned enterprise, so everyone understands.
As long as Lin Sanqi takes over Huadu Pharmaceutical's old production line, his industrial park plan in another time and space can be implemented immediately.
Therefore, Huadu Pharmaceutical is very important to Lin Sanqi.
"Director Qin, Section Chief Song, you are so efficient. You managed to get everything done in just one Chinese New Year holiday. I'm so sorry that you couldn't enjoy the New Year peacefully."
Director Qin said with a smile: "Our government is here to serve the people. This is our job."
Section Chief Song scolded with a smile:
"Even the provincial leader has been alerted about this. Without his swift and decisive actions, this matter would have dragged on. Let's go. We'll leave the power plant to Mr. Wu and take you to Huadu Pharmaceutical."
Lin Sanqi didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he hurriedly prepared to get in the car:
"Let's go, now."
…
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the atmosphere in the headquarters building of Huadu Pharmaceutical Group was somewhat heavy.
Every staff member was in a hurry, and even when colleagues met, they just exchanged glances, without the relaxed chats of the past.
When Lin Sanqi walked into the headquarters of this Fortune 500 company, he saw that the staff here were all working seriously with their heads down, and there was no whispering in the office. He nodded secretly.
He also whispered to Qiao Jingzhu next to him:
"Look at this state-owned enterprise. Apart from anything else, the discipline is really good. Everyone is working conscientiously. I haven't seen anyone playing with their phone."
Qiao Jingzhu also nodded slightly:
"This is the difference between their state-owned enterprises and our private enterprises. Our atmosphere is more relaxed and the requirements are not so high."
Section Chief Song laughed when he heard it, and sneered in a low voice:
"You guys, what you see is just superficial. They're so well behaved because of the personnel earthquake during the New Year. Now they're all scared as quails, haha."
Lin Sanqi was puzzled: "What earthquake?"
Section Chief Song glanced at Lin Sanqi, knowing that this guy might not know the inside story, so he said:
"This incident started with you. You wanted to acquire Huadu Pharmaceutical's second-hand production line, but they ignored you. The higher-ups found out about this, and they dealt with a bunch of people.
Many senior executives at Huadu Pharmaceutical were dismissed. The top and second-in-command were summoned for questioning and are unlikely to be released. "And you wouldn't know until you investigate, but the investigation is shocking. Several executives have even been imprisoned in our bureau."
Lin Sanqi was shocked. The head of Huadu Pharmaceutical was at the same level as he was in another time and space.
This level is definitely a mid-level cadre, and he was actually imprisoned because of his own reasons? This matter is unbelievable and illogical no matter how you look at it.
"Chief Song, don't scare me. We're just doing a normal business. We want to buy, but they don't want to sell. That's their right. I never intended to use my power to pressure them. If this reputation gets out, who would dare to do business with me in the future?"
Southerners follow rules when doing business. Those who like to use public power to intervene are considered unruly in the eyes of southern bosses.
This group of people may become rich overnight and monopolize a certain business.
It is also possible that you will end up in jail after spending a night in bed.
Therefore, almost no boss is willing to do business with such people, for fear that these people are too greedy and they will not only not make money but also be cheated by them.
You want to sue them? You probably don't even know who their father or grandfather is, right? I'm afraid you won't even be able to submit your lawsuit.
Lin Sanqi didn't want to be regarded as unruly and be ostracized by his peers.
Section Chief Song curled his lips:
"You think too highly of yourself, and you think you can bring someone down?
Your case is just a pretext. The fundamental problem is that some people do not support the "empty cage, replace bird" policy and even take the lead in opposing it. If we don't kill a few of these stupid birds, how can the monkeys be afraid?"
Lin Sanqi and Qiao Jingzhu looked at each other, then quietly walked aside.
Qiao Jingzhu, who is younger and older, and has more work experience, raised her concerns:
"Director Lin, I don't think acquiring Huadu Pharmaceutical is a good idea at this point. Even if it wasn't due to us, it would appear to outsiders that we used our connections to get rid of their chairman and general manager.
Even if we're not enemies now, we definitely can't be friendly, especially since state-owned enterprises are very closed-minded and hold grudges. Not only will we be unable to agree on a price, but they'll also be able to tamper with the machines."
Lin Sanqi also has this concern:
"Ah, we've inadvertently gotten involved in their internal struggle. Oh, and sister-in-law, when you initially contacted Huadu Pharmaceutical without success, did you contact other pharmaceutical companies? There are so many pharmaceutical factories across the country, so there should be plenty of second-hand equipment, right?"
Without thinking, Qiao Jingzhu reported:
"I have contacted other companies, such as China National Pharmaceutical Group, China Resources Pharmaceutical, Yangtze Pharmaceutical, Qilu Pharmaceutical, etc. But as you know, state-owned enterprises are slow to do things, and they won't talk to you even if you have connections.
As for private enterprises, I am worried that they generally will not change their production lines in order to save corporate costs. After all, the money earned belongs to the boss personally, and he lives a very frugal life.
If it's a production line that was phased out by a private company, it's almost completely scrapped. If we buy it back, I'm afraid we'll be busy repairing the machines every day, and production won't be able to increase at all."
Lin Sanqi remembered what his seventh cousin Lin Dongdong had once said to him.
Lin Dongdong meant that their auto repair shop liked to buy second-hand cars discarded by government agencies the most, because these cars were well maintained and the mileage was not too high.
For various unspeakable reasons, all of them were scrapped and then sold through auctions.
After selling the old car, you can buy a new one. It’s a back and forth process, cough cough.
But it’s different for private individuals. Except for a few rich people who change cars as casually as changing clothes, most ordinary people will drive their cars until they are almost scrapped before changing them.
This type of car is old and has high mileage. It can be driven, but you have to replace this part today and that battery tomorrow, and it often breaks down on the road.
The price is cheap, but it is completely unusable and is also the most troublesome used car for auto repair shops.
By the same token, many of the production lines eliminated by state-owned enterprises are actually still in semi-new condition, but they are so willful that they replace them at will.
But if the same production line is transferred to a private enterprise, they will not replace it unless you scrap it, and will continue to produce it by patching it up until it falls apart.
Lin Sanqi bought this kind of production line and traveled to another time and space. Not to mention production, it is estimated that it is shut down for maintenance all day long.
This is just a waste of time. (End of this chapter)
