Huang Jiaren meant that he would invest in the machinery factory along with rice.
With such a profitable high-tech company joining, it not only makes listing in Hong Kong easier, but also creates a combination of high technology and traditional industries.
In the most fashionable modern terms, it's called intelligent mechanical equipment.
Huang Jiaren didn't know what kind of intelligent machinery it was, but he knew that the term could definitely make money.
Zhong Bin thought about it and felt that Huang Jiaren made a lot of sense.
It is also necessary to restructure and reorganize enterprises that are on the verge of collapse to give them a fresh start.
After his conversation with Huang Jiaren, Zhong Bin approached Xing Baohua a few days later to inquire about the possibility of rice being sold in the stock market and the machinery factory.
Xing Baohua shook his head as he listened.
Xing Baohua had a considerable amount of information about the municipal machinery factory, though he didn't claim to know everything about it.
It can only be described as extremely complicated.
If necessary, Xing Baohua would rather open a new factory than a machinery factory. The main reason is that the machinery factory is useless to him! It cannot provide any assistance or profit for him. At most, it can help him produce a few production lines or assembly lines.
However, the production line produced was not professional, and the original business of the machinery factory was not within Xing Baohua's area of expertise.
If I needed rice, I wouldn't even need to tell him; I would have already bought it.
Zhong Bin was very dissatisfied with Xing Baohua's two-faced attitude.
His expression changed, and his tone became harsher.
This also stirred up some dissatisfaction in Xing Baohua's heart, and he said directly: "Mayor Zhong, we don't have money for rice now, and all the money is being withheld by your brother Qian Qiang's company? This is not a small amount of money, it's billions! If you keep dragging this out, I will have to borrow money from the bank to pay salaries and benefits during the New Year, and I still have to maintain production."
"Now you want me to participate in the acquisition of the machinery factory? Why acquire rice? Is it beneficial for rice? We can't just throw money away, especially since rice is really short of funds right now." After saying this, Xing Baohua stood up and rudely opened the door and walked out of Zhong Bin's office.
Xing Baohua finished criticizing Zhong Bin in one breath, leaving Zhong Bin speechless for quite a while.
"Need money for rice?"
Zhong Bin muttered to himself for a while, still somewhat incredulous.
He then called his younger brother, Qian Qiang, to confirm, and learned that the General Trade Group owed him a considerable amount, with about seven billion yuan still outstanding. They had only recently paid him eight hundred million yuan.
Of course, Qian Qiang also took the opportunity to say that Xing Baohua had reported the matter to Director Xue in order to get money, which led to the replacement of leaders in several important positions in the General Trade Department.
He got criticized quite a bit, and people said they'd find a chance to teach that bastard a lesson later.
Zhong Bin knew that his younger brother was all talk and no action, lacking any real ability.
After hanging up the phone, I felt that the chances of the municipal machinery factory going public were slim.
Not only are there numerous obstacles, but the key issue is the lack of support from both above and below. How can we make progress under such circumstances?
After spending a few days in central Shandong, Hong Kong businessman Huang Jiaren returned to Hong Kong with his new lover. As for his next trip, he hopes the city can clear the obstacles, and he just needs to wait to come back and sign the contract.
After the Hong Kong businessman left, the pressure on the municipal machinery factory was greatly reduced, so it could only put the matter aside for the time being and wait for an opportunity to discuss it again.
After all that chaos, the city's machinery factory has even less business and now can only survive on government funding.
The city government didn't intervene, leaving the municipal machinery factory to figure out how to survive on its own. This put all the pressure on the factory itself, forcing them to solve their own survival problems.
Workers still need to eat, right? Since the factory isn't producing anything and can't pay wages, you should find work yourselves and solve your food problem.
That's good, at least they won't cause trouble when they can't find jobs during future layoffs.
These days, good companies are hard to find!
At least three to four thousand people at the municipal machinery factory are now idle.
After Xing Baohua learned about this, he asked Lao Liu and Liu Quan to select some good skilled workers and bring over the engineers from the technical department.
The next step is to set up production lines and assembly lines ourselves, and use these technicians to design our own production lines.
By setting up a few factory buildings and buying a few large pieces of equipment such as shearing machines, rolling machines, and forging presses, a temporary team can be assembled.
Xing Baohua has the local resources and doesn't lack those few workshops; this is much better than acquiring the machinery factory.
The land, workshop, equipment, and personnel will cost less than two million, which is much better than investing hundreds of millions to get a small share in a machinery factory.
Most importantly, there's no burden.
Xing Baohua had already selected all the good talent, but there were still thousands of people left! So the union representatives went to the former factory director, Mr. Li, to find a way to get the workers from the rice electronics machinery factory to work.
They even played the emotional card, saying that you were a former leader and couldn't just watch your former subordinates go hungry!
The electronics factory is not lacking workers, but technical personnel. However, as a former leader, Director Li still agreed to take in 200 people, which is the limit.
Finally, Factory Director Li approached Xing Baohua to discuss whether other foreign-invested enterprises could accept a group of people.
Xing Baohua said "wait," referring to his four major component factories. The first to start operations was the television factory, which only required three hundred workers.
Factory Director Li understood Xing Baohua's meaning: a factory cannot take in all the workers from the machinery factory; these 300 people are only one-fifth of the workers in the television factory.
They were all from the machine factory, and they all knew the attitude of machine factory workers—a kind of lax work ethic, which they didn't know when it started.
After television factories, there will be washing machine, refrigerator, fan, and air conditioner factories.
Xing Baohua felt it was unnecessary to open separate factories for each type of business, such as washing machine workshops, refrigerator workshops, etc., and combine them into one main factory.
This will greatly reduce the pressure on the procurement logistics department, at least the logistics is now a central headquarters, instead of each factory needing to establish its own logistics department.
