Chapter 173 Red Star Machinery Factory
Thanks to Moon Ship mm for the reward. No one has given me these days, and the data has not grown rapidly in the sky. Shibanlu is a little depressed. I beg you all to support me.
In the small conference room of the Penn Municipal Government, Fu Jinsong, director of the Pingxi Provincial Economic Commission, sat in the middle, and Zhu Datong, executive vice mayor of Pennsylvania, sat on one side, followed by Li Qingquan, deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, Cheng Fang, secretary general of the Municipal Government, Hong Shengxue, director of the Municipal Economic Commission, and President Chen of the Municipal ICBC. The last one was Chen Yumei, deputy director of the Municipal Government Office. On the other side were comrades from the Provincial Enterprise Reform Office, namely Deputy Director of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Director Cao of the Provincial Audit Department and Director Du of the Provincial Small and Medium Enterprises Bureau. Liu Siyu is the youngest. Although he is a deputy director of the Finance Department, he still sits in the last position.
After Cheng Fang, Secretary-General of the Pennsylvania Municipal Government, gave a brief opening remark, Director Fu made a speech on behalf of the working group. Then, Deputy Mayor Li Qingquan introduced the situation of the company applied for on behalf of the Pennsylvania Municipal Government to the working group.
The enterprise that applied for the pilot reform in Pennsylvania this time is Pennsylvania Hongxing Machinery Factory, an old factory with a history of nearly 40 years, with more than 4,000 employees and mainly produces agricultural machinery. In the past few decades, it has made great contributions to the social and economic development of Pennsylvania.
However, since the reform and opening up, as the market economy gradually replaced the planned economy, this enterprise began to fall behind. In the past few years, in order to revitalize this enterprise, the municipal government introduced a production line to produce Yuanyuan brand agricultural transport vehicles, which was once glorious. However, in the last two years, because Yuanyuan brand agricultural transport vehicles had low technological content, lacked market competitiveness, and had difficulty in sales, the enterprise fell into trouble again. It had been unable to pay wages for a year. In the first half of the year, more than 500 employees surrounded the gates of the municipal government. In the end, the municipal government came forward and loaned 5 million yuan to the bank and paid a little living expenses to each employee, which was considered to be temporarily relieved.
Liu Siyu listened to the introduction of Vice Mayor Li Qingquan, while looking at the information on the table. Judging from the information, the Hongxing Machinery Factory owed bank loans and other debts of up to 400 million yuan, while its total assets were less than 300 million yuan, which is a typical insolvency. According to international practice, such a company should have gone bankrupt long ago.
However, this company has more than 4,000 employees. If bankruptcy is declared, these more than 4,000 employees will have no source of income at all. Including the families and children of these employees, the number of people affected is more than 10,000. What kind of social impact will it have?
After Li Qingquan's introduction, Deputy Mayor Zhu Datong made another addition. Director Fu also knew a little about the situation of the company. After he said a few words on behalf of the working group, the report meeting ended.
Back at the hotel, Director Fu convened comrades from the working group to discuss the next step. Although the municipal government's report was quite detailed, he did not go to the site to see it, and he was still uneasy. So he decided that Director Cao of the Audit Office, Director Du of the Provincial Small and Medium Enterprises Bureau and Liu Siyu of the Hongxing Machinery Factory to take a look. Director Fu and other comrades went to the employees to learn about the situation.
When Zhu Datong heard that the working group was going to the Hongxing Machinery Factory, a strange look appeared on his face, but it was fleeting, and immediately asked the government office to arrange vehicles and personnel. Because he was afraid that the working group would investigate and cause unnecessary trouble, the working group did not take his own special car.
When entering the Hongxing Machinery Factory located in the west of the city, Liu Siyu could still feel the prosperity of this company from the rusty iron gate. However, there are weeds grown in the factory area, and scrap iron and broken copper piled everywhere. From time to time, there are also a few people wearing simple clothes with worry and simple clothes hurried by.
These make people feel the breath of decay.
When we arrived at the office building located in the factory, the building was not long ago. It may have been built when the Hongxing Machinery Factory was booming in the past few years. However, the recession in recent years has been there. This building seems to have not been cleaned or maintained for a long time. It is covered with dust, giving people a feeling of poverty.
As soon as the car stopped, two middle-aged people came up. Deputy Director Yu from the municipal government office who accompanied Liu Siyu and the others pointed to the tall and strong middle-aged man and said, "This is Zhong Keming, the director of Hongxing Machinery Factory."
Zhong Keming had a passionate smile on his face, stretched out a pair of broad hands, holding Director Cao who was walking in front, and kept saying things like welcoming the leaders of the province, and then enthusiastically shook hands with Director Du and Liu Siyu.
However, when shaking hands with Liu Siyu, his face was stunned. Maybe he was a little surprised to see that Liu Siyu was so young and was actually the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Finance.
Another middle-aged man seemed a little restrained, his small eyes flashed from time to time, and he was obviously a scheming person. According to Deputy Director Yu, he was Hou Jie, the deputy director of Hongxing Machinery Factory.
Liu Siyu kept dealing with it, but his eyes were observing the leaders of the two factories. He found that the two men were full of red faces and did not look at all worried.
Several people entered the conference room, and four or five people had already sat in it. After listening to Zhong Keming's introduction, it confirmed Liu Siyu's conjecture that these people were all middle-level cadres of the Red Star Factory.
At the beginning of the meeting, Zhong Keming said loudly: "Several directors, you can come to our factory, which means that the superiors still care about our factory. On behalf of the more than 4,000 employees of the factory, I would like to express my gratitude. I just said that the country should have provided support for a large factory like us. As long as the country can invest another 300 million yuan, I guarantee that our factory will turn losses into profits within one year."
Director Zhong really dared to speak loudly. Three hundred million yuan, and the country invested another three hundred million yuan, not even a good project, why did he turn losses into profits? Liu Siyu saw that Zhong Keming was polite and said these irrelevant words. A factory made it like this without any shame on his face, and he felt a little disgusted, but he still listened calmly on his face.
Anyway, among the three people I came here, they were the shortest, so naturally they didn't need him to stand out.
"We are just representing the working group to understand the actual situation of Hongxing Machinery Factory. As for whether the country will invest again and how much it is, it is not up to us to decide. Director Zhong, let's check the financial data in the factory." Director Cao refused without any slightness or hardship.
While checking the data, Director Cao Liu Siyu and Director Du simply walked downstairs and walked around the factory.
After Director Cao finished checking, Liu Siyu and Director Du also saw it well. Liu Siyu found that the Hongxing Machinery Factory covers a large area. If the factory is moved away and then used to develop real estate, it will definitely be good.
When he returned to the hotel, Director Cao handed over the checked data to Director Fu. Director Fu took it and looked at it. He didn't say anything, but just said that he would go to Shannan City to check it out the afternoon.
As soon as Liu Siyu returned to the room, he received a call from Wang Zhiling. On the phone, Wang Zhiling blamed Liu Siyu and said that he would not call her when he arrived in Pennsylvania.
Liu Siyu couldn't listen to women's complaints the most, especially the beautiful women. He hurriedly explained that when yesterday arrived, he was busy with meetings and had no time. He was about to call her, but he didn't expect Sister Ling's phone call to come.
When Wang Zhiling heard Liu Siyu's words, she knew it might be fake, but she was still happy and stopped hiding it and said, "Siyu, I have called Chen Wenshan. I have set a seat at Binhe Restaurant. The three of us will gather together. I haven't thanked you for the last time."
When he heard that Chen Wenshan had also arrived in Pennsylvania, Liu Siyu hurriedly ran to ask for leave from Director Fu. When Director Fu heard that Liu Siyu's classmates at the Party School invited him to dinner, he agreed and agreed. Although he is now a department-level cadre, he is not pedantic and knows that connections are also productivity, and he is a young deputy department-level cadre like Liu Siyu.
Liu Siyu left the hotel and was about to call for a taxi, when he called a brand new Santana car parked in front of the hotel to be gently pushed open. A snow-white jade hand was waving at him, and a pretty face stretched out.
Liu Siyu saw Sister Ling wave to him in the car, walked over with a smile, opened the car door behind, and sat in.
Wang Zhiling gave in a little, and the two sat side by side in the back. Wang Zhiling called out to drive, and the car drove towards the Binhe Restaurant.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw Chen Wenshan walking in with sweat on their faces. Liu Siyu shouted excitedly: "Brother Chen!"
Chen Wenshan reached out and pounded Liu Siyu's shoulder, and said, "You boy will not call me when you arrive in Pennsylvania. You will definitely be punished by three cups in a while."
When Liu Siyu heard this, he said with a bitter face: "Brother Chen, am I doing a lot? Besides, I know that Brother Chen has just made a step forward, and this job must be busier than before. I'm afraid of disturbing you."
"Will you still consider it for me? Forget it, you guys, if you see your classmates, you will punish yourself for a drink, right?" Chen Wenshan did not have to punish Liu Siyu for wine, but when this old classmate met, he wanted a casual and an atmosphere.
After the three of them drank a glass together, Liu Siyu punished himself with another glass. Fortunately, it was a hot day and he drank beer, so Liu Siyu was not afraid.
Wang Zhiling seemed very excited. Last time, with the help of Liu Siyu and the support of Secretary Yu of the city, the ethnic village project of the Penn Tourism Bureau finally received a special subsidy of 22 million yuan, which made the person who was originally dissatisfied with Wang Zhiling as the Tourism Bureau director and deliberately saw her laugh at her. Of course, the city cut off a section of the more than 20 million yuan, and Wang Zhiling also changed to a brand new car.
So, thinking of this, her gratitude to Liu Siyu was not a little bit.
Although Chen Wenshan has now become a member of the Standing Committee, his work in charge has not changed much. He knows that if he wants to go further, if there is no support from the top, the possibility is very small. In the city, he only has a deputy mayor who has not yet joined the Standing Committee. He has always wanted to join the city's standing committee member, but he has suffered from no recommendation. Liu Siyu was transferred to the Provincial Department of Finance as deputy director, which shows that the relationship behind him is extraordinary, so he also wants to establish a good relationship with Liu Siyu to see if he can join the city's heavyweight through him.
Of course, this does not mean that people in the officialdom are very snobbish, and even some of the relationship between classmates is measured by help or not. However, since you have entered the officialdom and pursue progress, it is an inevitable choice.
After leaving Binhe Restaurant, Chen Wenshan shook hands with Liu Si because he had something to do.
Liu Siyu saw that Wang Zhiling was drunk and seemed to be unable to walk steadily. Wang Zhiling's car did not stop at the door, so he had to hold Wang Zhiling with both hands, recruited a taxi, helped Wang Zhiling into the car, and took him in.
When the taxi driver asked where to go, Liu Siyu realized that he really didn't know where Wang Zhiling lived, so he helped her and asked, "Sister Ling, where are you living? I'll take you back."
"I won't go back, I don't want to go back." Wang Zhiling muttered, her soft body kept twisting. Liu Siyu sighed. Thinking that his parents had all gone to the provincial capital, he said, "Binjiang Garden."
The driver started the car and drove towards Binjiang Garden, but his face showed a worried look, obviously because he was afraid that Wang Zhiling would vomit on his car.
