Chapter 160 Buying a Factory as a Warehouse
After arriving at the agreed location and having a brief greeting between the two sides, Li Wenhua took Xiao Xingyun and Fatty Luo to visit the nearby dilapidated factory.
"The three more suitable factories have suffered serious losses. Due to various problems, they cannot be solved for the time being, so they can only find a way to sell them."
"The first one is an old machinery factory in a nearby village. It could have produced bearings and the like. It also helped us make some small parts for custom military industry. There were 182 employees in the factory. Later, due to the backward production process, the entire set of equipment was eliminated.
I still don’t have money to replace production equipment.”
Xiao Xingyun followed Li Weng to the machinery factory and took a look. The ground was dilapidated and even big trucks were difficult to pass through. The so-called factory building was just a large steel frame shed.
The only highlight is that the place is very large, with more than 20 acres and the ground is very empty. As long as it is slightly renovated, it will be a warehouse.
However, the arrangement of these 182 workers is a problem. Not only should we be responsible for the reemployment of workers of appropriate age, but we also have to pay off social security for these years and pensions after retirement.
"How much does this factory cost?" Xiao Xingyun asked.
"The above means 12 million, including all land and original factory debts, all packaged and sold, but the properties of industrial land cannot be changed."
In other words, commercial housing cannot be built or residential land cannot be turned into land. Otherwise, even if this land is more biased and the price of Shenghai is ten times higher, some people will rush to ask for it.
"The price is acceptable, but the problem of resettlement of more than 100 employees and the debt problem of nearly 10 million yuan is too headache. Let's look at other places." Xiao Xingyun said.
The second one is a glass factory, covering an area of more than ten acres and only a three-story building is considered a normal building, but it has become a dangerous house with one side of the wall falling.
I don’t know that such a factory is related to military logistics. Because the production process is too backward, piles of glass are piled up in the warehouse, and I still can’t find the next one.
The whole family was about 100 employees, and the broken environment and the glass fragments all over the floor were not even there.
Fatty Luo shouted and complained: "My dad is really, I am so embarrassed to recommend such a broken glass factory? It's not as good as the bearing factory just now. By the way, how much does this factory cost?"
"More than eight million... But since you don't like it, we won't negotiate the price. Let's go, I'll take you to the last one."
This house is a winery specializing in the production of rice wine. It covers an area of nearly 20 acres. It has a three-story building full of age and is painted in military green.
The steel frame factory buildings on both sides are a little broken outside, but the main frame is very complete, and the building steel used has no obvious rust.
In the steel frame factory, there is a complete rice wine production equipment on one side. Although the work has been stopped, there is still a strong aroma of wine.
The steel frame room on the other side was filled with old rice wine sealed, and large jars of wine worth a thousand pounds per warehouse, with no empty space at all.
In the army-green three-story building that covers a large area, what Xiao Xingyun and Fatty Luo saw suddenly stunned after entering.
This floor is actually filled with abandoned old tanks and damaged armored vehicles without tracks.
"This, this..." Xiao Xingyun pointed to the first floor of the factory building that was almost opened and asked in surprise, "This is a winery, why are there these things?"
Li Wenhua explained calmly: "The elimination of arms in special periods is temporarily placed in this winery because there is no place to throw them away.
By the way, this winery is directly managed by our Logistics Department. Because it uses the land of nearby villages, the villagers here are arranged to go to work in the factory. There are still 48 workers. If the 20 retired workers are removed, there are still 28 more.
A famous worker needs you to settle.
By the way, this factory is directly managed by our logistics department and has no debts. As long as you solve the employment problems of the remaining twenty workers, this factory will be yours."
Xiao Xingyun was excited and asked immediately: "Then how much does this winery cost?"
"The quotation on the non-performing assets treatment table of our logistics department is 9.5 million. After taking away the elimination of arms, all the things in the factory are yours, including these wines... If you like it, we can talk about the price again."
Xiao Xingyun understood in a second that the two factories in the first place were just used by Luo Kaiyuan to compare them. The place he really wanted to prepare for himself should be this winery.
Such a large area is very close to the highway, with at least 60% new factory buildings. There is also this building, which can be renovated slightly, replaced with glass, or even converted into an office building, as well as a jade carving studio in the future.
Eight and a half million, it’s simply too cost-effective, and it’s even a price cut of yarn.
"I think this place is pretty good. The quotation of 9.5 million is OK. There is no need to negotiate. We can sign the contract directly."
"No, I think the price can be discussed again. You have made great contributions to the logistics department's handling of non-performing assets. You can't suffer too much..." Li Wenhua smiled mysteriously.
"Ah? Okay, let's talk about it again. I'll listen to Brother Li. If you don't understand anything in the future, please give me more advice." Xiao Xingyun was just a little stunned, and quickly shook hands with him and reached a consensus.
This is very interesting. I don’t know if this is Li Wenhua’s own idea or Luo Kaiyuan’s meaning.
But Xiao Xingyun didn't care. As long as the factory was worth the price, he would be trading it legally.
Fatty Luo also understood the meaning of this and scratched his head awkwardly.
He wanted to ask clearly, but he was afraid that Xiao Xingyun would be bad, so he had to hold it in and endure it.
Li Weng walked to the corner and made two calls, which took a total of five or six minutes.
"Congratulations to Mr. Xiao, the leader above agreed to your offer and was willing to sell it to you for 8 million. Let's go, we go to the nearest logistics department office and sign the contract."
"Thank you Brother Li, then go and sign the contract." This time, Xiao Xingyun was not surprised anymore. He signed the contract first, and then slowly inquire about how to return the 1.5 million yuan less to whom.
Fatty Luo also suppressed his doubts. At worst, he could call his father to inquire after signing the contract.
He wanted to know, is this considered a normal bargaining price? Is it within a reasonable range to pay less?
Fatty Luo was also afraid of affecting his father's career.
When he arrived at the office of the logistics department, the other party had prepared the contract. Xiao Xingyun looked carefully and felt that there was no problem, so he signed his name directly.
As an agent, Li Wenhua also needs to stamp the branch leaders in addition to signing. Fortunately, the superiors had already said hello and went around the office upstairs, and several official seals were stamped.
"Boss Xiao, after the payment is paid, this factory will be yours. When I returned to the logistics department, I arranged a special person to transfer all the abandoned arms in the winery."
"Thank you, Brother Li, it's lunch time now. Let's find a place to have a few drinks. I'm still confused and need to ask you for advice."
"Forget it, it's official time now. If we have time in the future, we will have dinner again, but today won't be able to do it."
Li Wenhua was not humble and polite, but serious. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Left Xiao Xingyun and Fatty Luo looked at each other.
