Chapter 591 Making money is just an intermediate stage, not the final goal(1/2)
When Cao Zhiqiang proposed to join the equity structure of "Dongyang Company" in the name of Hongguang Machinery Factory, Chen Jiabang said nothing, but Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li both clearly opposed it.
The reason for the objection is very legitimate, that is, although Hongguang Machinery Factory is a big business, it also has a big burden, and it is a state-owned company.
Therefore, if Hongguang Machinery Factory is involved in this Sino-Japanese joint venture tape factory in the name of its own factory, it will not bring much benefit to Hongguang Machinery Factory, but it will do a lot of harm to the newly established joint venture company.
The burden of Hongguang Machinery Factory was transferred to the new joint venture.
Japan is not a fool. It is impossible for them to directly agree to the involvement of a heavily indebted state-owned enterprise without any investigation. This is a negative equity.
And as we all know, Japan has always been wary of domestic state-owned enterprises, so if Hongguang Machinery Factory insists on getting involved, it may mess up the joint tape factory project, and no one will get the benefit in the end.
Of course, these are all obvious reasons.
The private reason is more realistic, that is, Hongguang Machinery Factory is owned by the public. Once the public participates in the joint venture project of "Dongyang Company", Hongguang Machinery Factory will become a hot potato again. At that time, Director Li and Secretary Dong
Let’s not talk about whether we can continue to get benefits. Let’s just say that with this big fat guy, some leaders above may be jealous and arrange for their own people to pick peaches and replace Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li.
Secretary Dong is fine, but Director Li has been the director of Hongguang Machinery Factory for decades. Why can he continue to be the director?
In addition to the fact that Director Li is really flexible, it is also mainly related to the fact that the efficiency of Hongguang Machinery Factory has not been very good.
Once a factory's efficiency improves, there will inevitably be more people wanting to pick peaches.
Director Li is just a good person in Hongguang Machinery Factory, but if someone of a higher level is sent down, he must obey the order.
After all, this is a subordinate state-owned enterprise, and the real bosses are the leaders at the ministry level. If someone wants to arrange someone to come down, Director Li can't handle it, and even Secretary Dong can't handle it.
In the past, when the big leader was still in office, that is, when Uncle Xu was still in office, this was easy to say.
But now that Uncle Xu has truly retired, even if he still has some connections, he no longer has the right to make decisions when it comes to the leadership arrangements of subordinate factories. At most, he has the right to make suggestions. Whether he will listen or not depends on the new leader.
That makes sense.
Therefore, in the eyes of Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li, Hongguang Machinery Factory is just continuing to maintain this debt-ridden shell, and it is best to remain half-dead.
Anyway, both Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li are getting older and will be retiring soon. It is better to stand on the last post and take advantage of the reform and use their last power to support the newcomers.
That's Cao Zhiqiang.
After all, Hongguang Machinery Factory is essentially a factory mainly engaged in machinery manufacturing. For such a factory, why should Director Li and Secretary Dong go all out to support a service industry that only engages in writing books and singing?
, what about Cao Zhiqiang, who basically has nothing to do with the main business of machinery manufacturing?
It's not just that these things Cao Zhiqiang created can actually bring more tangible money to their own homes.
When people are young, of course they like progress and power.
But when a person is old and weak and is about to lose power, his favorite thing is money.
Whether it is a publishing house or a department store run by Cao Zhiqiang, they can bring tangible benefits to Secretary Dong and Director Li himself. Of course, to a certain extent, they can also solve the redundancy of personnel in the machinery factory.
remaining issues.
In addition, Cao Zhiqiang had an old leader like Uncle Xu as his backer, so Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li took advantage of the situation to give Cao Zhiqiang such great support.
If it weren't for the real interests tied up, Secretary Dong and Director Li wouldn't have gone all out to support Cao Zhiqiang with only Uncle Xu as their retired backer.
What? Uncle Lin’s side?
Uncle Lin's department was a secret department, and not many people knew Cao Zhiqiang's secret identity. Even if Uncle Xu knew it, he wouldn't be able to explain it to people like Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li.
At least so far, neither Secretary Dong nor Factory Director Li knows the identity of Cao Zhiqiang’s secret broker. They only think that Cao Zhiqiang is very talented in writing books and songs, has a very bright mind, and is good at running businesses and making money.
young people.
More importantly, when working with Cao Zhiqiang, you don't need to take bribes or violate organizational disciplines. You can make use of the current reform policy to make money reasonably and legally.
This is the fundamental reason why Secretary Dong and Director Li spare no effort to support Cao Zhiqiang.
Therefore, whether Secretary Dong or Factory Director Li, they just want to use their last power to pave the way for Cao Zhiqiang as much as possible, so that they can continue to enjoy dividends with Cao Zhiqiang after they truly retire.
As for the Hongguang Machinery Factory, it was not the fault of Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li that it was in its current state. They were really helpless, so they simply gave up.
Anyway, the worst result is that they will be reorganized and incorporated by other companies or government departments. Most of the old workers will not lose their jobs, they will just change careers.
As for the new young people, youth itself is capital, and the government will not really care about them.
After all, now is not the time when there was a wave of layoffs in the 1990s, when people were forced to find their own way out at every turn.
The current transformation of factories is basically the merger of large factories with good profits and small factories with poor profits, and then the old workers are either given other jobs or handed over directly to the government to continue to shine in public institutions. Generally speaking, it is very humane.
ized.
Therefore, from this perspective, it is most appropriate to use the name of Hongguang Publishing House, which is a personal contract, to join the share structure of the new joint venture company.
Because of this, Director Li can continue to contract part of the land and factories of Hongguang Machinery Factory to Hongguang Publishing House at a low price, and then Hongguang Publishing House will use these contracted land and factories as capital.
, joined the joint venture, and the management rights are still in the hands of Huaxia Audio Company, Cao Zhiqiang’s private company.
According to this model, Cao Zhiqiang will definitely not mistreat Secretary Dong, Factory Director Li and Chen Jiabang, the three specific operators, and the public assets of Hongguang Machinery Factory can be used by Hongguang Machinery Factory through this power transmission method of contracting and operation.
In one turn, Guang Publishing House was transferred to the new "Dongyang Company", thus completing the transformation from public property to private property.
At that time, no one will suffer losses, only Hongguang Machinery Factory will suffer losses. However, Hongguang Machinery Factory will be rectified and merged sooner or later. It is useless to keep those useless industrial land and factories, so it is better to keep them for ourselves.
As for the problem of selling assets at a low price, as long as the contract is well written and well-founded, and the new company makes money afterwards, and then pays Hongguang Machinery Factory a site usage fee or rent, it won't be a big problem.
At the very least, this way, it can be guaranteed that there will be no problems within five years.
As for five years from now... These days, who knows what the new policies will be in five years?
Anyway, by that time, Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li have already retired, and the current domestic policy does not require accountability after retirement, so they can happily take the small amount of money they have pocketed and spend their retirement happily.
Life.
If that doesn't work, you can consider going abroad when you make more money.
It's too far away, but there is still hope to find a way to go to Hong Kong.
It has to be said that Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li are relatively far-sighted people, and they knew about going abroad for safety so early.
And from a selfish point of view, Cao Zhiqiang also believes that their ideas and methods are correct and have minimal risks.
Because compared to what they did, other people who openly embezzled state-owned assets are truly crazy.
Let’s not talk about it far, let’s talk about the founder of XX who started out as a computer maker and later actually engaged in finance. He is actually a typical embezzlement of public property, and his early methods were more direct, not to mention Face, but he later
Is something wrong? No problem at all.
The reason is very simple, that is, these behaviors are special situations under special historical conditions, and they are normal transactions conducted under the special historical conditions and special policies at that time.
In short, all subsequent laws and regulations can only target the behavior of enterprises and individuals after the promulgation of these laws and regulations, but they cannot trace back some of your behaviors before the promulgation of these laws and regulations.
If we use current laws and regulations to trace past business practices, it will be like Asan's Indian country. If we don't use Face at all, it will only cause confusion. In short, it will do more harm than good.
To put it simply, the kind of operations Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li mentioned are reasonable, compliant and legal under the current circumstances, and do not amount to embezzlement of state-owned assets.
If Cao Zhiqiang didn't have other plans, he might have agreed.
But the problem is that Cao Zhiqiang is at a different level now, and he is no longer satisfied with simply making a small amount of money.
He just wants to make some money and live a good life, and he has done it now.
As far as his current level of food and clothing is concerned, it's hard to say in the whole world, at least in the entire land of inland China, there are really not many people who can do better than him.
Even the country's senior leaders are probably not as good as him, at least in terms of food and clothing.
At least some of the luxuries that Cao Zhiqiang can enjoy are not available to those senior leaders.
For example, some senior leaders cannot drink Oiran coffee at this time.
There is also the real Wuyi Mountain mother tree Dahongpao. How many people can really drink it as food and tea all day long?
As for living, how many people can live in the executive suite of Jianguo Hotel all day like him?
Not to mention money, Cao Zhiqiang's personal assets at this time, calculated purely in RMB, have already exceeded 5 million, and this does not include the 500 million secret funds provided by the state.
In this era when households worth 10,000 yuan are very scarce, he personally has assets of more than 5 million RMB, which makes him a proper big capitalist.
With such a net worth, in a country where prices are generally low, he can't buy anything that money can buy.
Therefore, simply talking about making money has no interest in Cao Zhiqiang at the moment.
In other words, in the current view of Cao Zhiqiang, making money is only his intermediate node, not his ultimate goal.
His real purpose is to allow the country to benefit from it while he continues to maintain a good life.
This is what the saying goes: Cultivate oneself, harmonize one's family, govern the country and bring peace to the world!
Cao Zhiqiang has now passed the stage of cultivating himself and managing his family, so he is thinking about the next stage of governing the country.
It would be fine if there is no system, but with the system, Cao Zhiqiang can try to use another method to secretly push the country.
To promote the entire industry chain, he is definitely not that ambitious or capable.
But based on the technology and equipment of the system check-in, he can still promote the leapfrog progress of certain industries in the country.
As for issues like asking the country for money and national debt.
Cao Zhiqiang believes that this is not about money, nor is it entirely for his own safety, but more for the good of the country.
Because he doesn't want the money, he will have to give it out sooner or later, and there is a high probability that he will be cheated for a while.
To be continued...
