Chapter 580 Conversation

The eight working representatives followed Secretary-General Yang Li to the government conference room. Yang Li warmly greeted them to sit down, and then asked the staff to make tea for the eight representatives, took out cigarettes, each of them dispersed one, and then said with a smile: "You all sit for a while, I'll report to Mayor Liu."

After Yang Li left the conference room, a tall and thin worker about 36 or 7 years old looked at a man who stared at the front with a steady expression and said, "Brother Chen, don't leave this official and leave us here and leave us here without paying attention?"

"Don't panic, watch it for a while before talking." The elder brother Chen nodded calmly. When the other workers saw Brother Chen say this, they focused on savoring the tea.

Liu Siyu received Yang Li's report, saying that the worker representatives were waiting in the conference room, so he nodded, stood up, and followed Yang Li to the conference room. Jiang Feng followed behind with Liu Siyu's briefcase.

When they arrived at the conference room, Liu Siyu, accompanied by Yang Li, sat directly in the first place. Yang Li and Jiang Feng sat down next to each other. When these workers saw Mayor Liu really came, a few of them looked a little cramped. Mayor Liu had been to Fulian City for three years, and there were many opportunities to show up on TV. Although most of these workers were laid off at home, they were still familiar with the officials in the city. Of course, this was also on TV. It was the first time that several of them saw Deputy Mayor Liu at such a close distance today.

After Liu Siyu sat down, he raised his head and glanced at the workers, and said kindly: "I heard that everyone has something to report to me. This is great. This shows that everyone believes me. However, I heard that many people have come to you, but it blocked the door of our government, and even those who come to do business cannot come in. This is not possible. We are the people's government, and we welcome the people to give us opinions and supervise our work at any time. We cadres are actually the people's public servants. It is our responsibility to serve you well."

These workers' representatives did not expect that Liu Siyu was not as arrogant as they thought, like other leaders, but was very kind and relaxed his nervous mood.

Seeing that these workers were not as nervous as before, Liu Siyu smiled and said, "Since you have something to report to the government, who should talk about it first? I have expressed my opinion here. If you can explain it, I will definitely explain it in person. If it can be solved, I will also solve it in person. If it cannot be solved, I will explain the reason. What do you think?"

After Liu Siyu said this, the workers looked at each other, and then the elder brother Chen asked, "Mayor Liu, I heard that the city wants to transfer our boiler factory as a whole. Is this the case?"

"This is happening." Liu Siyu said calmly.

"I heard that the transfer price is only 50,000 yuan. Mayor Liu, who sold a large factory with more than 1,000 yuan, don't you think it's ridiculous?" Brother Chen said sarcastically.

"Haha, it seems that you have a lot of opinions on our municipal government's decision to transfer the boiler factory. This is very good. If you have any opinions, let's share some things. It's easy to understand and solve them." Liu Siyu said with a smile.

"Mayor Liu, you may not know that my parents are both workers in this boiler factory. Since the time of building the factory, they have been working in this boiler factory for decades, until they retired seven years ago. I started working in this boiler factory. No one knows better about the matter of this boiler factory. At that time, the country invested in how much manpower and material resources the country had invested in to build this boiler factory, and how much hard work the countless workers and brothers had put in. Now this factory is about to be sold. The fruits of our decades of labor are only worth only 50,000 yuan. Mayor Liu, what do you think this is?" Brother Chen said a little excitedly.

After hearing this, Liu Siyu knew that these workers had devoted their lives to this factory. It can be said that the boiler factory is their life and hope. Now that the hope is gone, why are they not angry?

"What do you call this big brother?" Liu Siyu asked peacefully.

"Chen Dahe." Chen Dahe said in a muffled voice.

"You are older than me, so I will call you Brother Chen. I can understand what you said, and your mood. After all, this boiler factory has devoted all your life to you. No one may accept it. However, if we look at the problem from a different perspective, you may have new discoveries." Liu Siyu's expression gradually became heavier.

"I have learned in detail about the situation of this boiler factory. When the state built the factory, it was still a small factory with only fifty workers. Later, with the hard work of the workers and friends, our boiler factory continued to grow and finally became a medium-sized enterprise like today with more than 1,000 workers. In the past few years, it was a star enterprise in our city, and contributed a lot of profits to the country every year. However, Brother Chen, you should also see that this boiler factory is getting worse and worse now, and the products cannot be sold out. The factory has no orders, but your salary. Now the factory is still owed more than a year and has not paid. You said, if this boiler factory is not restructured, what will happen to everyone in the future?" Liu Siyu said sincerely.

"Mayor Liu, even if it is reorganized, you can't sell such a big factory at a low price." Chen Dahe knew that the boiler factory was indeed in trouble and it would not work without reorganization. However, if the municipal government transfers the entire factory at a low price, it would be impossible to understand. You must know that the land where this factory is located is worth hundreds of thousands of millions.

"Haha, you may think that the transfer price set by our municipal government is too low. So, Brother Chen, since you think that the buyer who came to take over this factory is taking a big advantage, we will transfer this boiler factory to you. As long as you have the ability to reactivate the boiler factory, we don't even need the transfer fee of 50,000 yuan. I will take the lead in giving it to you. What do you think?" Liu Siyu said suddenly.

Chen Dahe was stunned when he heard that Mayor Liu wanted to give such a large factory to himself, but Liu Siyu continued: "However, according to the decision of the municipal government, there are several conditions. First, you must be responsible for the resettlement of more than a thousand workers. In other words, you must arrange the work of more than a thousand people in the future, pay the wages, and, in addition, you must be responsible for repaying the 80 million foreign debt owed by the boiler factory."

When Chen Dahe and these representatives were stunned when they heard Liu Siyu say this, they were stunned. You should know that the wages of more than 1,000 workers alone were not a small amount. Calculated at a worker’s 700 yuan a month, it would cost at least more than 10 million yuan a year. In addition, there would be more than 20 million yuan a year of wages. Moreover, if the factory was to start construction and there were raw materials or something, this would be a huge expense. In this way, it would cost at least more than 100 million to revitalize the boiler factory.

Seeing Chen Dahe and the others' shocked expressions, Liu Siyu continued, "How is it, do you have this confidence?"

Chen Dahe felt unsure when he saw Liu Siyu's staring eyes, but he still said, "Mayor Liu, as long as the bank can give me a loan, I have the confidence to revitalize the boiler factory."

"Haha, Brother Chen has come to the point. If I can talk about bank loans, how can I worry about these troubles? If I want to find a bank loan, I can go find it myself. Brother Chen, business operations are a business behavior, and the government will not take care of it again in the future. The future responsibilities of our government are to guide the healthy development of enterprises, standardize the business behavior of enterprises, and not specifically interfere with the business activities of enterprises." Liu Siyu said this and took a sip of water. " Speaking of this, Brother Chen and several worker friends understand. All the assets and debts in our boiler factory are added and subtracted, and in the end they only have a net asset of 50,000 yuan. You said,

Enterprise, how much money can you make others pay? Also, if we don’t think about it, what should we do if we live in more than a thousand workers? Brother Chen, a few workers and friends, we should look at the problem and change the angle. If our transfer is successful, your work will be settled and you will get the salary you deserve, and the boiler factory will be alive again. For our government, we will no longer worry about your salary issue. You said, isn’t this the result we hoped for?” With Liu Siyu’s words, Brother Chen and his team understood the government’s decision, which was a forced idea. And if we want to revitalize the boiler factory, it seems that this is the only way to do it.

After seeing off these workers, Liu Siyu returned to the office powerlessly and leaned on the chair for a long time to rest. This conversation with the workers did take some energy. Fortunately, the thoughts of these workers have basically been understood. The loss they showed was actually the loss of workers from state-owned enterprises and employees who were about to transform into private enterprises.

As the news of Fulian Boiler Factory preparing for transfer spread, more companies came to understand the situation. Of course, the Fulian Enterprise Reform Office also formulated a specific transfer plan, which included employee resettlement, debt repayment and other items. These things naturally need to be clarified through an agreement. Liu Siyu absolutely does not allow any company to just take the opportunity to make a fortune. Therefore, he instructed Han Dai Neng to make the terms of the transfer agreement one by one, requiring the companies that undertake must have strength and must come up with a business plan. Otherwise, if you only pay 50,000 yuan, you will definitely not be able to take over the boiler factory.

By the end of the year, several boiler-producing enterprises had initially entered the sight of the Fulian Municipal Government, but it has been nearly the same year, and specific negotiations will not be carried out after the New Year.

It seems that at the end of the year in 2004, the government still has to make the workers of these enterprises receive living expenses and have a safe New Year.
