The negotiations were held on time in the conference room of the office building of Hongqi Machinery Factory. Yuan Fangguo wore a white shirt and black trousers, while Li Chunli wore a professional suit. The man was tall and handsome, while the woman was smart and capable.
When the leaders in the factory saw Li Chunli, they couldn't help but look at her a few more times, each with their own thoughts in their minds.
Wen Chunlai is the first director of the factory. His family also lives in the Hongqi Machinery Factory. He gets along well with the employees. Many of the workers here are the second generation of the factory's employees. He watched them grow up, so he has a high status in the factory.
At present, except for Wu Jingzhong who was born and raised in the factory, the rest of the leaders in the factory were transferred from within the State-owned Assets Bureau.
Wen Chunlai also hated Wu Jingzhong. When he was the factory director, Wu Jingzhong was caught having promiscuous relationships with both men and women. After much persuasion and tears, Wu Jingzhong was spared from punishment.
Therefore, after the two met today, Wu Jingzhong was embarrassed. When he thought of the past, he felt both regret and hatred. In his opinion, if Wen Chunlai had not known these inside stories, the position of factory director would not have been given to Bao Youwei, but would have been his long ago.
He even suspected that Wen Chunlai had spoken ill of him to the leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission when he was recruiting cadres.
Wen Chunlai is not a person who pays attention to every detail, and his memory has deteriorated a little, so today's negotiations are mainly conducted by the workers' committee led by the old director and the scarred man.
The old director went straight to the point and stated several dangers of selling the staff hospital, which were exactly the same as what Yuan Fangguo had said.
Bao Youwei listened and said, "Old Zhao, we're not selling this staff hospital. Just tell me the key points."
"We plan to introduce local funds to participate in the staff hospital. The specific method is to adopt a contract lease, signed every five years. As for the rent, we sit down and discuss it together, and it will be determined based on the hospital's scale and medical equipment."
"Once every five years is too long. I think once a year is better." On weekdays, when he wanted to shift the blame, Bao Youwei always called the members of the Party Committee together, but now this kind of verbal battle negotiation has become his battlefield alone.
Wu Jingzhong and others had no right to speak at all, which saved them a lot of trouble.
The scarred man got angry and said forcefully, "Director Bao, it has to be every five years because the hardware conditions in our factory are so poor. Chairman Li and General Manager Yuan have both promised to utilize the wasteland next to the hospital to build a convenient park. Their cycle is three years. By then, Director Bao and Deputy Director Wu will have nowhere to live. Living in our staff compound, at least you'll have a place to walk."
The old factory director, Bao Youwei and others were a little surprised to hear this, especially Wen Chunlai. Yuan Fangguo had not mentioned the park when he had communicated with him before, but now Wang Dagui actually brought up the construction of the park.
Building a park has always been a favorite of the old secretary. There is a piece of barren virgin land next to the staff hospital, where there are stone forests, caves and a pond. If a park is built there, it will greatly facilitate the leisure life of thousands of employees.
When Bao Youwei heard about the park construction, he started to have some thoughts in his mind...
After weighing the pros and cons again, Bao Youwei nodded in agreement.
"Old Secretary, let me be frank. The leadership team of our factory is quite open-minded. They allow workers to participate in the decision-making of major factory matters. If Mr. Li and Mr. Yuan cannot fulfill their contract, then we should deal with the staff hospital. The workers can't act recklessly anymore." After saying this, Bao Youwei looked at Wen Chunlai calmly.
The machinery factory is a state-owned asset, but the employee hospital is not. It seems ridiculous, but it is not ridiculous at all. When the Hongqi Machinery Factory was built, there was no employee hospital. It was the old secretary Wen Chunlai who took the initiative to propose building an employee hospital using the factory's profits and registered it with the local health bureau. Therefore, for the State-owned Assets Bureau, the employee hospital is not among the assets of the machinery factory. This is also one of the reasons why the workers are so emotional.
Wen Chunlai knew what Bao Youwei meant. He did not answer, but turned his gaze to the old director and the man with the scar.
The two men nodded without hesitation. They were confident that this workers' hospital would be profitable once it was separated from the factory's leadership.
Next, the two sides started to negotiate the annual rent with heated arguments, and finally reached an agreement of 300,000 yuan per year. However, the factory still required Yuan Fangguo and others to pay a deposit of no less than 200,000 yuan.
Yuan Fangguo insisted on paying the 200,000 yuan deposit to the workers' committee and having it kept by the workers' representatives.
When the old director and the scarred man heard this, they immediately stood on Yuan Fangguo's side again.
Bao Youwei compromised again, and the 200,000 deposit was kept by the workers' committee.
After the negotiations, the factory secretariat began to draft the contract. They had a template contract, so they only needed to make some modifications based on the previous one to clarify the responsibilities and rights of both parties.
This time Bao Youwei insisted on writing the word "park" on it.
Upon hearing this, the old director and the scarred man once again stood on Bao Youwei's side.
Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli are not the kind of people who care about trivial matters. Those words were the promises they had made, so naturally they agreed to have them written down.
Since there is a preparation period, the contract period is extended by half a month.
Both parties signed in black and white in three copies. In addition to Party A and Party B each holding one copy, the workers' committee also held one copy.
Wen Chunlai, the old director and Scarface all solemnly signed their names and pressed their fingerprints on it.
I was busy until around six in the evening before it finished.
Yuan Fangguo also saw the character of the factory leaders from their style. After leaving, he quietly found the old secretary and said that they should have dinner together in the evening and discuss the hospital matters.
The old secretary had just been discharged from the hospital that morning and was still feeling unwell. He gratefully declined Yuan Fangguo's invitation, but then called the old director and the scarred man over and asked them to have dinner with him.
The old director and the scarred man felt that they had done something meaningful for the workers, and they accepted Yuan Fangguo's invitation with high spirits.
If Li Chunli's idea is followed, red envelopes should be given to the members of the two workers' committees.
However, in Yuan Fangguo's opinion, there will be an unusual friendship between them, and if he gives a red envelope, it will destroy this close friendship.
After listening to Yuan Fangguo's words, Li Chunli nodded, then walked out and started ordering dishes.
