"That means you won't have to worry about sales, but do you have the money to open a factory?"
"I made a preliminary estimate. The production equipment is not very complicated and can probably be purchased in the provincial capital. The estimated price is only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. I can buy one set first and then add more equipment later as the business develops."
"Thirty or forty thousand is not a small amount. We need to prepare additional working capital, at least ten thousand yuan."
"My idea is to raise 20,000 yuan from friends and family, and borrow 20,000 yuan from the foundation. The rest can be invested or loaned to me by our township leaders. I promise to repay double the amount borrowed by the end of next year."
"You kid, you are so confident. Don't be afraid of failure, but it will be enough for you to pay off your debt for the rest of your life," said Secretary Li.
"Uncle Li, if I make a decision, I won't lose money, I will only make money. Please watch me."
"Please think about it carefully and draft a charter. Think about everything comprehensively. I'll take a look at it first."
"Secretary Li, I have finished writing it. Please take a look." Sun Zongyu took out the cannery plan from his pocket and handed it to Secretary Li Jianguo.
"Then let me see, what the hell, you've been talking about an ambush for so long," Li Jianguo took it and looked at it carefully under the light.
Most of the contents of the plan have just been reported to Secretary Li Jianguo. Regarding the nature of this factory, the country's reform and opening up has been fluctuating from time to time, so Sun Zongyuan borrowed his mother's name to register the enterprise under the name of Honghua Township Government.
The rented third-line factory is close to the main road and covers an area of 15 acres. The factory building is a concrete structure, tall and spacious, with an area of about 3,400 square meters. There is also a two-story building with a construction area of 500 square meters.
Sun Zongyuan proposed an annual rent of RMB.
Li Jianguo pondered the idea for a day, and then spent the entire morning discussing it with Township Chief Zhao. Finally, he sought opinions from several leading cadres. They all felt that there were risks, but more opportunities. Most people still wanted to invest some money to earn some extra income.
Three days later at nine o'clock, an enlarged meeting of the Honghua Township Party Committee was held. Party committee members, deputy township heads, deputy directors of the People's Congress and other section-level cadres all attended the meeting, and Sun Zongyu attended as an observer.
The meeting studied Sun Zongyuan's plan and accepted the questions from the leaders. Sun Zongyuan gave serious and responsible answers. However, some leaders had objections on how to ensure the repayment of rent and foundation loans, and the stalemate lasted for more than half an hour. Sun Zongyuan also knew that the leaders were responsible for their work and did not deliberately set obstacles for any leader, so he was not angry at all. Think about it, the quality of cadres at that time was really good!
It was twelve o'clock, time for lunch, and Li Jianguo finally made the decision:
"As for how to guarantee the repayment of the loan funds and rent, I am personally willing to act as a guarantor. If Sun Zongyuan cannot repay, I am willing to use my salary to compensate, and I will personally invest 3,000 yuan in shares."
"I am also willing to be a guarantor and I will invest 2,000 yuan," said Township Chief Zhao.
"I am willing to do so too. I will also invest 1,500 yuan," said Township Head Wang.
Subsequently, five more leaders were willing to provide guarantees and invest 1,000 yuan as capital.
"We can't take advantage of the public either. The rent is yuan per year, Zongyuan, what do you think?" asked Secretary Li Jianguo.
"Secretary Li, Township Head Zhao, and all the leaders, thank you. I fully agree. I will take the lead. I believe that at least ten canning factories will be developed in the township next year," Sun Zongyu replied.
"That's great. We'll talk about it next year. For now, Secretary Zhang will revise the plan. Mayor Zhao and I will go to the county at 2 pm to report to the secretary and the county magistrate. We have never heard of setting up a factory in this way. It would be best if we could win the support of the leaders."
"Old Zhao, does this count as reform?" Secretary Li asked Township Chief Zhao as he left the meeting room.
After the secretary and the mayor reported to the county party committee and county government, the county party committee convened a special standing committee to study the matter. The secretary was a reformist and the mayor also supported it. Finally, the standing committee decided:
We fully agree with Sun Zongyuan's plan to build a cannery, and provide him with an interest-free loan of 20,000 yuan and a construction subsidy of 10,000 yuan.
After the county party committee standing committee approved it, the township held an enlarged meeting to convey and study it. The township party committee decided that the cannery was the first industrial enterprise in the township and should be given special attention. The township set up a working group, with Township Chief Zhao as the group leader and Deputy Township Chief Li Jingchao, who is in charge of economic work, as the deputy group leader. The service group composed of power supply, industry and commerce, taxation, construction office, agriculture office, foundation and other departments was specifically responsible for supporting and cooperating with the work.
Sun Zongyuan used to worry about lack of funds, but now the county has provided 30,000 yuan in support, the leaders have invested more than 10,000 yuan, and the foundation has loaned him 20,000 yuan. It is not a big problem for him to raise 10,000 yuan on his own.
According to preliminary information, Ma Bin, the 28-year-old secretary of the village branch near the Third Line Factory, is a veteran who served in the army near Guangzhou City. He has been influenced by the forefront of Guangzhou's reform and opening up, has an open mind, is loyal and upright, and was a famous entrepreneur in his previous life. This time, Sun Zongyuan wants to invite him to be the director of the cannery. How he will grow in the future depends on his opportunities.
Sun Zongyuan found Ma Bin and told him his intention. Ma Bin was both happy and confused. Sun Zongyuan certainly would not say that Ma Bin was a big entrepreneur in his previous life. He said:
"You served in the army in Guangzhou. You have an open mind, good character, and a good reputation. I believe you can do a good job."
After a conversation, Ma Bin happily accepted Sun Zongyuan's invitation to become the director of the cannery. The condition was that Ma Bin would work for three years with a monthly salary of 800 yuan. In addition, a bonus of 0.5% would be deducted based on the year-end profit. The two of them simply wrote a simple employment contract, one for each of them.
Sun Zongyuan then assigned Ma Bin a task:
We went to the industrial and commercial registration office to complete the relevant procedures including the business license and production license. The cannery was named Qianhe Food Factory and its registered trademark was Fushou.
Recruit 50 honest and capable workers from neighboring villages, 20 men and 30 women. Physical examinations will be conducted first, and those with infectious diseases will be rejected. Sun Zongyuan arranged for the surrounding villages to be allocated proportionally based on population, with three additional positions allocated to Ma Bin's village. The village Party secretaries would recommend candidates, and each Party secretary's family would be assigned a quota. The cannery would strive to maintain good relations with the surrounding villages; harmonious, safe, and sustainable production was paramount.
In addition, Ma Bin arranged ten people to clean the factory area and office building in advance.
We asked Yang Zhenwu's construction team to repair the factory walls and damaged facilities inside the factory. We also installed suspended ceilings in all the factory buildings and painted all the walls off-white.
Arrange trustworthy people to make appointments in advance to purchase fruits, sugar, coal, and canned bottles, contact the supply and marketing cooperatives for sales channels, and also implement a tiered incentive measure for sales for the three hired personnel.
For the factory's middle-level cadres, we implement the policy of promoting the capable and demoting the mediocre. We identify and appoint cadres during work, and dismiss irresponsible personnel at any time. We guarantee a minimum monthly salary of 20 yuan, and pay bonus wages based on piecework, striving to achieve an average monthly salary of around 40 yuan per person.
His second brother Sun Zongta is the manager of the supply department. His wife Xu Rui's sister Xu Mei is about to graduate from a technical school with a degree in accounting and is currently in the internship period, temporarily serving as the financial manager. Li Jianguo's brother-in-law Song Ligang is the manager of the logistics department.
The deputy production director was selected by Ma Bin, and the sales manager was selected from three sales staff based on their performance.
