Production at Xihai Sugar Factory is in full swing, but the workers have long lost their previous enthusiasm.
What everyone can't understand is why they are so busy with production every year, but they just can't make any money. Not only that, they have to borrow money from the bank every year to pay their wages.
Where did the money go?
Wang Jianguo couldn't understand it either, or in other words, even the people in state-owned enterprises in this era couldn't understand it.
It is now the middle of the year, and the sugarcane purchasing season has long passed. What the sugar mills are doing is processing, making a variety of edible sugars according to the requirements of Yuanhai Trading Company for export to the Japanese market.
When Wang Jianguo looked at the profits of the past six months, he was in a good mood. But when he saw the debt statement in the blink of an eye, his mood hit rock bottom again. Just the bank loans that were due to be repaid would eat up all the profits. Where can he find money to pay wages?
, once again became the first thing on Wang Jianguo’s desk.
With a long sigh, Wang Jianguo lit up his cigarette, looked up at Chief Economist Chen Jiji who was sitting in front of him, blew out a puff of smoke, and said, "Old Chen, there will be profits next year, but where is our money? According to the situation in the accounts, next year
Where can I find my monthly salary?”
Chen Jiji, who was originally the head of the technical department, was promoted to chief economist after a major reorganization. He was the only college student among the more than 2,000 employees in the entire factory (excluding family members).
Chen Jiji smiled bitterly and said, "Wang Chang, I am an economist who became a monk halfway. You should know the situation in the factory better than me."
He expressed his bitterness, "When the efficiency was good, we handed over all the profits required by the county. Later, when the profits were not good, the quotas given by the county became higher and higher, so we handed over the money to the county."
Yes, of course there is something wrong with the operation of the factory."
Wang Jianguo was silent for a long time, and then he said, "The county has allocated funds to us in the past few years, otherwise we would have no money to pay wages, let alone maintain equipment."
"That's just a small part of the money that was handed over before. Some time ago, I dug out the financial statements since the establishment of the factory and looked at it. Our factory's annual net profit was handed over to the county. However, in the face of operating difficulties,
When the problem came up, the county did not allocate funds to us, which is how we got our first loan. From then on, we borrowed more and more, demolishing the east wall to pay for the west wall. However, the profit target issued by the county every year has never been lowered.
"On the surface, the Xihai Sugar Factory has made a lot of money, and in fact it has made a lot of money, but only a very small number of these people remain in the factory. Our factory has actually been insolvent for a long time." Chen Ji said in a breath
After saying that, he also lit a cigarette and started smoking.
Produce according to plan, turn over profits according to plan, operate according to plan, manage according to instructions...
At first, it was believed that the cause of state-owned enterprises was that there was no separation between government and enterprises. Management was concerned about the future of political performance, and obeying the instructions of superiors was the top priority. It was generally believed that such a system violated the laws of the market.
However, when the beginning of the 21st century approached and after the separation of government and enterprises, the competitiveness of state-owned enterprises still did not reach the expected level, which fully demonstrated that the problem was not only due to the lack of separation between government and enterprises. Even a series of lessons later showed that the government and enterprises
Being indifferent doesn't mean falling behind!
When an industry needs strong support from the state, the importance of large central enterprises that do not distinguish between government and enterprise becomes prominent. Such enterprises are an important cornerstone of market stability. In other words, as long as there is such a large central enterprise, the lives of ordinary people will be affected.
You will not be negatively affected by huge changes in the market.
The oil industry that is most criticized is actually the oil industry. After experiencing the pain, most people have discovered that the oil industry that should least be integrated with international standards and connected to the international market is precisely the oil industry that they previously called for to integrate with international standards as soon as possible...
The reason why Yao Yuan hesitated to intervene in the restructuring of state-owned factories was precisely because he had a deep understanding and understanding of the entire thirty-year history of Chinese state-owned enterprises.
Participating in the restructuring of the thirteen sugar mills in Xihai, headed by Xihai Sugar Factory, is different from his acquisition of Jichai Power Plant. The situation of the latter has become outrageous. The province is dragging it on without caring about it, but the city does not have the ability to do so.
Thousands of employees set up street stalls and did odd jobs to make a living. At this time, any company that expresses its willingness to acquire the factory will be regarded as a reborn parent by the thousands of employees.
The sugar factories in Xihai are different. First of all, they are agricultural terminal factories, joint factories connected with commerce, and they involve the vital interests of farmers.
In China, no matter how small the matter of farmers is, it is still a big deal. Anyone who violates this rule will be swept into the garbage heap of history without exception.
There is only one reason why Yao Yuan dares to take on such a hot potato now - he has huge foreign exchange and the huge influence it brings.
Because everyone believed that his purpose in taking over the thirteen sugar factories was to make the lives of the elders and workers in his hometown better and better.
Wang Jianguo and Chen Jiji stared at each other and smoked cigarettes one after another, unable to think of any good solutions. In desperation, Wang Jianguo said, "We can only try to talk to the county about this year's profits."
Is it okay not to hand it over or to hand over part of it first?”
"I'm afraid it's embarrassing. We are the only factory that the county can sell. If we don't turn over the profits, the county will have to drink from the northwest wind." Chen Jiji didn't have any confidence at all.
"I have to give it a try. If it doesn't work... If it doesn't work, I'll borrow it." Wang Jianguo seemed to have made up his mind.
Chen Jiji was stunned, "The bank will not lend us any more money...Wang Chang, you mean, you mean Yao Yuan? Is he willing?"
Just as Wang Jianguo was about to speak, the phone rang suddenly, startling him.
He picked up the phone and said, "I'm Wang Jianguo."
He just said this and kept listening. In less than a minute, he put down the phone with a strange expression and said, "The county asked me to go there right away."
"What's the matter?" Chen Jiji hurriedly asked.
"I didn't say anything, I just told him to go to the county committee for a meeting immediately," Wang Jianguo said.
Chen Jiji was startled, "The county was hiding from us before. Could it be that there is news about the restructuring?"
Wang Jianguo thought for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll go take a look first. You should sort out the accounts quickly and be realistic. We can't let our employees suffer, nor can we cheat others."
"good."
Chen Jiji sent Wang Jianguo downstairs and watched him get in the car and leave before returning to the office to continue working.
The county magistrate accompanied Yang Sheng and waited under the county committee building. The county magistrate apologized, "The county is aware of the problems of those two people in Sanshan Town, but they didn't know that they were so bold as to misappropriate poverty alleviation funds to buy luxury cars.
They are crazy. The county party committee and county government have decided to conduct a thorough investigation on them."
"You are also a cadre who went to the provincial capital to study in Shanghai. You should know how important the business environment is. Guan Zheng, Wu Qiong and others are no longer a problem of limited ability. All they think about is taking money from merchants and lining their own pockets.
"Yang Sheng said seriously.
The county magistrate wiped his sweat and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we will deal with it seriously and will never let such a moth ruin the reputation of our government."
While talking, Wang Jianguo arrived.
Seeing Yang Sheng, Wang Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and quickly walked a few steps to say hello, "Director Yang, why are you here?"
Yang Sheng shook hands with Wang Jianguo, looked at Wang Jianguo's special car, but it was an old 212 Jeep, and asked with a smile, "Old Wang, where is your Santana?"
Wang Jianguo smiled and shook his head, "Sold, it's just a stepping stone, it's the same."
Yang Shenghe, the county magistrate, who had just discussed embezzling poverty alleviation funds to buy luxury cars, now looks at Wang Jianguo and has a great impression of him. Wang Jianguo is a serious deputy department-level cadre, while the town secretary and mayor are just regular officials.
You have chosen the right person, Yang Sheng thought.
He held Wang Jianguo's hand and walked inside, saying, "Old Wang, the city has other arrangements for your work. You must be mentally prepared to take on a heavier burden."
"Director Yang, this... County Magistrate Tang?" Wang Jianguo was suddenly confused, "I have a lot of things going on here. Old Tang, you know the situation in the factory. Please transfer me at this time..."
County Magistrate Tang quickly said, "Lao Wang, don't worry, I'm telling you, your new appointment was about to come down, but something unexpected happened in the end, mainly because you are most familiar with the situation in the sugar factory.
, So, let you stay at the sugar factory and let Qiu Jianming go to the Environmental Protection Bureau."
Wang Jianguo was clear about this matter. When the county decided to restructure the Xihai Sugar Factory, it decided to transfer Qiu Jianming, the vice president of the fishery company, to serve as the director of the Xihai Sugar Factory, and Wang Jianguo was transferred to serve as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau at the deputy director level.
, in fact, Wang Jianguo’s appointment was downgraded.
Wang Jianguo was mentally prepared to go to a new position, but something happened again. Qiu Jianming went to the Environmental Protection Bureau, and he stayed at the sugar factory.
Everyone is fighting for him, because everyone knows that the sugar factory will not survive long, and the future is to be transferred to a government unit. Qiu Jianming, who is in his thirties, probably found out that the life of the sugar factory is approaching, so he gave Wang Jianguo the position of director of the Environmental Protection Bureau.
Pushed it.
But Wang Jianguo was extremely happy. As a soldier, he was unwilling to leave a mess and leave in despair, so he continued to stay and take charge of the work of the sugar factory.
County Magistrate Tang explained at this time that he hoped to remove the injustice in Wang Jianguo's heart. However, Wang Jianguo not only did not feel injustice, but was grateful to the county for such an arrangement.
Just like ordinary people are not full after drinking porridge, a certain host Bai Bai will ask: Why don't you eat white rice?
"Director Yang, Old Tang, I'm not going anywhere." Wang Jianguo stopped and said very firmly, "I'm not going anywhere until the restructuring of the Xihai Sugar Factory is completed."
Yang Sheng patted Wang Jianguo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I know you hope Mr. Yao can help. Mr. Yao is a son of Xihai Sugar Factory. His parents are employees of Xihai Sugar Factory. He will definitely not treat Xihai Sugar Factory three thousand yuan badly."
It’s multi-employee.”
"Yao Yuan?" Wang Jianguo was stunned.
Yang Sheng nodded slightly, "I know these things, Mayor Zhou knows it, Secretary Zheng also knows it, Lao Wang, let's go, we are all waiting in the conference room, just waiting for you."
With that said, he dragged Wang Jianguo upstairs.
County Magistrate Tang followed behind, which was not without embarrassment.
