Chapter 128 Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest
The private room of Limin Hotel.
Du Jingming and Zhao Shanhe were sitting at the dining table. Gu Changbei was also present, but he played the role of serving tea and water.
If I had told people half a year ago that a secretary to the county magistrate like Gu Changbei would serve tea and water to Zhao Shanhe, not to mention others, not even Zhao Shanhe himself would believe it.
But now this is what happened.
I have to say that life is more exciting precisely because it is full of unknowns!
After a brief exchange of greetings, Du Jingming said meaningfully: "Shanhe, do you know what happened in our county recently?"
"Du County, what's going on?" Zhao Shanhe asked with some confusion.
"A week ago, workers at Xingyuan Manufacturing blocked the office building because of unpaid wages. Didn't you hear?" Du Jingming raised his hand and said.
"Oh, that's it. I've heard about it." Zhao Shanhe nodded.
"Then you should also have heard about the order return incident that occurred at Jiuquan Hardware Factory five days ago, right?"
Du Jingming looked a little serious.
"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it."
Zhao Shanhe was still surprised when he heard about this.
Because he did not expect that such a problem would occur in an old factory like Jiuquan Hardware.
All the products they produced had quality problems, and thirteen companies requested returns. Because of this return incident, Jiuquan Hardware Factory, which was already in trouble, was even worse.
"County Magistrate Du, it is said that our county helped pay some money?" Zhao Shanhe followed.
"Yes, Jiuquan Hardware is a state-owned enterprise after all. It is impossible for the government to sit idly by when something like this happens. In the end, it paid 600,000 yuan to settle the incident. But even so, the reputation of Jiuquan Hardware Factory is also
It plummeted."
Du Jingming shook his head and sighed deeply.
Six hundred thousand?
Tsk tsk!
Really rich!
If such money is given to Hetu Manufacturing, we will definitely be able to expand the scale of production.
But now it's just lost to Jiuquan Hardware, so what? In the end, this money can only be wasted.
wrong!
Whether it is Xingyuan Manufacturing or Jiuquan Hardware, what does this have to do with me?
What did County Magistrate Du want to say when he came to me? Zhao Shanhe was secretly on guard.
"County Magistrate Du, Jiuquan Hardware is a long-established enterprise in our county, and it is state-owned, so as long as we give them a chance, I believe they can turn around."
Zhao Shanhe didn't want to start a fight, so he just said it nicely.
"Really? Do you really think so?" Du Jingming looked over with blazing eyes.
"Um!"
Zhao Shanhe naturally responded with all his heart.
"If that's the case, how about I leave Jiuquan Hardware to you?" Du Jingming said in surprise.
"Leave it to me?"
Zhao Shanhe was stunned immediately.
Does Du Jingming want to sell Jiuquan Hardware directly to me?
Don't tell me, if you really dare to sell it, I will dare to eat it. Now is the turbulent entrepreneurial era. As long as you have a factory in hand, there will definitely be a way to revive it.
"That's right, I'll leave it to you, Shanhe. What I mean is, if you were to be the factory director of Jiuquan Hardware, could you change the current situation of Jiuquan Hardware?"
Du Jingming stared straight at him.
"County Magistrate Du, are you going to sell Jiuquan Hardware to me?" Zhao Shanhe asked enthusiastically.
"No! I am promoting you to be the factory director of Jiuquan Hardware, which is part of the government establishment." Du Jingming made a promise.
"Forget it, I'm not very capable, so I won't do this."
Zhao Shanhe refused without even thinking about it.
Just kidding, this is obviously a trap, you asked me to jump in, I'm not stupid, why should I let go of my good life and wade into this muddy water.
County Magistrate Du, this is a big issue involving the reform of state-owned enterprises. Do you think I can handle it now?
Besides, do you really think that the shortcomings of state-owned enterprises like Jiuquan Hardware can be solved by changing the factory director?
The issues involved here are too complicated and I have no intention of getting involved.
Unless you sell Jiuquan Hardware to me, then this hardware factory will be regarded as my private enterprise. In that case, I will definitely have a way to revitalize it. Other than that, there is no need to discuss it.
"Are you incompetent?"
Du Jingming glared at Zhao Shanhe angrily, but he did not continue to stare at the matter. He also knew that Jiuquan Hardware could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
I also wanted to test Zhao Shanhe's intention just now. It seems that this is not a matter that cannot be done, but just depends on how to do it.
"Du County, so you invited me to dinner today just to talk to me about the factory problems in our county?" Zhao Shanhe put down his chopsticks and asked.
"yes."
Du Jingming sighed and said with emotion: "In the past six months, many factories in our Zhenghe County have experienced problems, such as the Xingyuan Manufacturing, Jiuquan Hardware, and the three canneries mentioned just now, and even Gushun Liquor
The factory’s problems have not been solved either.”
"I feel a little irritated when I think that so many factories are in trouble and need to solve their problems urgently."
"I came to you because your Shanqiu Food and Hetu Manufacturing have been doing very well in the past six months and have become a banner of our Zhenghe County."
After a short pause, Du Jingming continued: "So I want to hear your views on these factories."
"I didn't expect that you have a big appetite. You wanted to buy Jiuquan Hardware when you first came up. Zhao Shanhe, you are not afraid to hold on."
"I have nothing to be afraid of. With County Magistrate Du supporting me, I am not afraid of it."
Zhao Shanhe smiled calmly, and then said with a serious expression: "County Magistrate Du, the problems you just mentioned are actually normal in my opinion, and this is not a phenomenon unique to our Zhenghe County."
"I dare to say that this kind of situation will also happen in other provinces, cities and counties, and there are many. After all, the market economy is now in power, and any factory or enterprise that does not conform to the market economy will be eliminated."
"As the saying goes, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest."
"This is the survival law of the animal kingdom, and it also applies to the business field. Just like Jiuquan Hardware, you can support it once, but can you support it indefinitely?"
Zhao Shanhe looked at Du Jingming and said word by word: "If Jiuquan Hardware Factory cannot win the turnaround on its own, the future outcome is inevitable and it will be kicked out of the market economy."
"Yes, what you said makes sense, market economy, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. If you cannot exert your own subjective initiative and just passively rely on the support of the state and government, this path will definitely not work."
Du Jingming stroked the teacup and spoke thoughtfully.
He had also thought about this issue, but he didn't put it so straightforwardly as Zhao Shanhe did.
"Dong dong."
Just when the two of them wanted to continue chatting, the box door suddenly knocked from outside, and a man opened the door and walked in holding a wine bottle.
