Chapter 126 Su Tong actively seeks a way out
While Gao Mingcheng was busy with farm work every day, teaching many beautiful girls boxing, and going into the mountains to inspect the beehives, a man appeared in his home.
As soon as Gao Mingcheng entered the house carrying a hoe, he saw Su Tong sitting in the yard with some gifts piled around him. A quick look revealed two bottles of wine and some snacks and dried fruits.
"Director Su? Why are you here?" Gao Mingcheng put down his hoe and walked towards Su Tong.
Su Tong stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Brother Mingcheng, I am ashamed to say that I would never come to the temple for no reason!"
Gao Mingcheng asked Su Tong to sit down again and called many beautiful people to make tea.
Xuanyuemei quickly brought over two cups of tea. Gao Mingcheng and Su Tong sat face to face, drinking tea and chatting.
Gao Mingcheng and Su Tong had only met twice. During the second meeting, Su Tong suggested that he might be asked to make a trip, so he told Su Tong his home address. However, Su Tong never showed up after that, so he forgot about the matter.
In his opinion, Su Tong, who went bankrupt in his previous life, would probably not have great courage in this life.
It just so happens that he doesn't want to travel far.
But just when Gao Mingcheng almost forgot about Su Tong, Su Tong appeared in his home!
This is outrageous.
"Director Su, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Gao Mingcheng asked straight to the point, with a hint of guess in his heart.
Su Tong looked embarrassed. He took a sip of tea, sighed, and said, "Brother Mingcheng, my factory has stopped production."
Gao Mingcheng raised his eyebrows. Is he bankrupt?
But there is still a slight difference between stopping production and going bankrupt. Su Tong continued, "I talked to you before and I know you are a capable person. I wanted to bet all my assets and go to Shenyang to try and see if I can turn losses into profits through a joint venture with Shuangxi. But... my dad asked me through his friends and said that it is not easy to form a joint venture with such a large state-owned enterprise. You have to come up with a large sum of money first! At least this amount."
Su Tongyong pointed to a number with his fingers, then said with a wry smile: "My entire net worth is not even a fraction of that number!"
Gao Ming Cheng Moran, it seems that there is really no such thing as a free meal in this world. From a macro perspective, the joint venture is the private sector absorbing nutrients from the state-owned enterprise. However, if you want to absorb the nutrients, you also have to see if you are qualified to enter.
Obviously, private enterprises in Sutong, a small county, are not yet qualified.
Just when Gao Mingcheng wanted to ask Su Tong whether he would give up, Su Tong took out a newspaper from his pocket.
He handed the newspaper to Gao Mingcheng and said, "This is a newspaper from 1985, take a look!"
Gao Mingcheng took it, looked down, and saw that the largest section of the newspaper was an article titled "Ma Shengli, a good factory director who always thinks about the interests of the country and the people."
There is a photo of Ma Shengli on it, as well as a lot of text information introducing Ma Shengli and his life.
Gao Mingcheng took a quick look at it but didn't understand why Su Tong asked him to watch this.
At this time, Su Tong said again: "I heard that Director Ma Shengli may contract paper mills all over the country this year!"
Gao Mingcheng quickly recalled Ma Shengli's life and deeds, and then realized that Ma Shengli was a man of ups and downs.
"Yours is an agricultural machinery factory, not a paper mill." Gao Mingcheng said in confusion.
Su Tong said, "I know a little about papermaking technology. I was wondering if I should cooperate with Director Ma to convert the current agricultural machinery factory into a papermaking factory."
I have to say that Su Tong is a man who is capable of thinking and doing, but he was unlucky because he chose Ma Shengli.
Starting this year, Ma Shengli has indeed begun to contract more paper mills across the country, and next year he will group the paper mills together to form the "China Ma Shengli Paper Enterprise Group." However, this is not another glorious starting point, but a turning point for him.
Blind expansion brought many problems. Different factories adopted the same business and sales methods, but the market changed very quickly. Ma Shengli’s previous sales methods were not fully applicable, so the paper mill began to suffer losses year after year.
By 1991, Ma Shengli's group was dissolved, and in 1995, factory director Ma Shengli was dismissed and retired.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng said that Ma Shengli is a person who experiences ups and downs.
But Su Tong just set his sights on Ma Shengli and wanted to cooperate with him!
I can only say that Su Tong is really unlucky with money.
It would be fine if Gao Mingcheng didn't know all this, but he did, so when Su Tong asked him about it, he couldn't just watch Su Tong jump into the sea of fire.
Gao Mingcheng said: "If you want to convert the farm machinery factory into a paper mill, that's fine, but don't think too much about cooperating with Ma Shengli. Think about it, even if he contracts your paper mill, the mill will be his and it will have nothing to do with you. Besides, he may not necessarily contract a small mill like yours."
"Since you can't form a joint venture with a large state-owned enterprise like Shuangxi, what about smaller state-owned enterprises? Don't you have any other options?"
Su Tong was stunned by what he said, but soon he became ecstatic. He held Gao Mingcheng's hand and said excitedly: "I knew that Brother Mingcheng was not simple! When I talk about these things with others, they don't know anything. But when I talk to you, Brother Mingcheng, you can understand what I mean and even give me suggestions!"
"If my factory wasn't about to go bankrupt, I would really like to invite you to work in the factory! Brother Mingcheng, what do you think I should do? The most I can come up with now is this amount, and I have to use the factory as collateral for a loan!"
Su Tong held up two fingers, and combined with what he said about the loan, Gao Mingcheng guessed that it should refer to 200,000.
Two hundred thousand is a huge sum of money for ordinary people.
But for those who run a factory, two hundred thousand yuan cannot buy a production line!
To introduce a production line for producing whole pots would cost three million!
Gao Mingcheng frowned slightly and stared at Su Tong, making Su Tong particularly nervous.
Although Su Tong praised Gao Mingcheng in his words and deeds, in fact, he came to Gao Mingcheng after asking many people without success.
Gao Mingcheng seemed like his last choice.
But this choice is also very important. For Su Tong at this moment, it is like the relationship between a drowning man and a straw.
"I think... since there is no way to run the factory well, why not go for further study?" Gao Mingcheng spread his hands. He had no better idea.
He initially proposed that Sutong and Shuangxi form a joint venture, but in fact he had no idea about the details. It was just that Shuangxi had a big reputation, and later Supor was also very famous, so he had heard people talk about it.
But he was not very clear about other successful examples of joint ventures.
Now seeing that Su Tong was at the end of his rope, he simply introduced him to further his studies.
As the saying goes, you never stop learning. Now is a time of rapid change, with new technologies emerging one after another.
Su Tong widened his eyes slightly. He didn't expect Gao Mingcheng to give such a suggestion in the end.
Going to study?
What to learn? Follow your father into a big factory, become a fifth-level fitter, and then become an eighth-level fitter?
Are you going to stay in the workshop like this for the rest of your life?
Su Tong was a little dazed for a moment and became undecided about his future.
He has a technical background, but he also has a heart for business. He is obsessed with achieving success and making a lot of money.
But in fact, the factory he founded soon stopped production, and if he didn't find a way out, it would go bankrupt.
After thinking for a long time, Su Tong looked up at Gao Mingcheng. The confusion in his eyes disappeared and his gaze gradually became firm.
I was busy with many things today, but I sent the two money-eating beasts to my grandparents' house, yeah (＾－＾)V, I will continue writing next, and I will keep writing as long as I don't die!
I humbly ask for monthly tickets, I want one thousand!!!
