Chapter 159 Swallowing the elephant with a snake
In early summer, an amazing news spread in Xunyang Bicycle Factory:
Xunzi is going to be merged into Hanhua Industrial Company!

The Xunzi workers who heard the news for the first time were all skeptical.Think about it, what is Xunzi, it is a state-owned enterprise.As for Hanhua Company, it is nothing more than a large collective enterprise.How can there be any reason in the world for a large collective enterprise to merge a state-owned enterprise?The same is true from the level of the unit. Xunzi is an enterprise at the deputy department level, and Hanhua Industrial Company is only equivalent to the department level. How can the subordinates merge with the superiors?

However, the reality surprised the workers, and there were more and more signs that Xunzi was really going to be in Hanhua's pocket.

Beginning in mid-May, the Department of Light and Chemical Industry dispatched a large working group to Xunzi and began to evaluate Xunzi's assets.According to the final evaluation result, the total value of Xunzi's factory buildings, office buildings, staff dormitories, equipment, inventory, etc. is 5 million yuan.At the same time, the bank loan owed by Xunzi has reached more than 340 million yuan.

In fact, the value of many of Xunzi's fixed assets is only calculated by deducting depreciation from the original price on the book. If they are sold in the market for cash, they will definitely not be able to sell at this price.Therefore, Xunzi can be said to be insolvent.

The working group had a long closed-door meeting with Xunzi's factory, and finally came to the conclusion that unless the Light and Chemical Department can inject more than 100 million yuan into Xunzi at one time, and at the same time ask the bank not to demand the arrears, otherwise Xunzi It is impossible to turn losses into profits by one's own strength.Xunzi's current income all comes from the cooperation with Hanhua Company. If Hanhua Company withdraws, Xunzi will be in trouble again.

Under such circumstances, the Department of Light and Chemical Industry made a shocking decision after reporting to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government for approval, transferring all assets of Xunzi to Hanhua Industrial Company for a fee, retaining the Xunyang Bicycle Factory, but stopping all its business activities.In other words, the unit of Xunyang Bicycle Factory still exists, but there is nothing left, just a shell.

There is a reason for the Qinghua Department to make such a decision. On the one hand, Xunzi's loss problem has been dragging on for two years, and it will not work if it is not resolved.On the other hand, the production of electric fans for export by Hanhua Industrial Company has been brought into the focus of the work of the Provincial Economic Commission.

As Zhu Tiejun said, now is the time for Hanhua to open its mouth to the lions in the province. No matter what kind of request you ask, the province will agree.The task of earning foreign exchange through export is assigned down by the state at all levels, and how well it is completed is directly related to the performance of local governments.In the face of performance requirements, are there any obstacles that cannot be removed?

Under the policy environment at that time, it was definitely not feasible for a large collective enterprise to merge a state-owned enterprise in name, and Xunyang Bicycle Factory could not close down or go bankrupt under any name.However, China's grassroots cadres have infinite wisdom in exploiting policy loopholes. They took policy provisions word by word to find loopholes, and finally came up with a plan that changed the soup without changing the medicine.

First of all, the name of the Xunyang Bicycle Factory is to be retained, and even the original factory leaders still maintain the original administrative level and treatment.The Qinghua Department found another small building for the Xunyang Bicycle Factory in Xunyang City as its business site, and then Qiu Qingyang and others rolled out of Xunzi's existing factory area very honorably.

In order for Qiu Qingyang to leave Xunzi in a happy mood, the Qinghua Department also made a promise to him, promising that as long as he did a good job in transferring Xunzi's assets to Hanhua Company, he would be transferred to the province in a year or two. Hang him under the provincial economic committee, give him a half-level promotion, and retire with the treatment of the departmental level.

Qiu Qingyang is over 50 years old, and he won't be able to work for a few years.Xunzi's loss became a stain before his retirement. Now that this stain can be washed away and he can leave his job with dignity, why not do it?

Xunzi's current site, including factory buildings, equipment, inventory, and staff dormitories, was all packaged and sold to Hanhua Industrial Company for a price of 340 million.Without batting an eye, Lin Zhenhua asked Bi Min to issue a transfer check of 340 million to the Qinghua Department, thus obtaining this huge factory area covering an area of ​​more than 1000 mu.After the Qinghua Department received the money, the first thing to do was to repay the bank's 280 million loan first, and the remaining funds were given to Qiu Qingyang as the operating expenses of the Xunzi government in exile.

In this way, Qiu Qingyang's life is much better than in the past. With more than 60 yuan in working capital, it is enough for a group of government officials in exile to live comfortably.As for what to do with the money, that was the concern of the Qinghua Department. Under Qiu Qingyang's tenure, the money would never be spent.

Lin Zhenhua didn't feel distressed at all about buying Xunzi for 340 million.Of course he can negotiate the price with the light chemical department and save hundreds of thousands, but he knows that the result of doing so is to make himself lose his moral advantage and leave a bad impression in the light chemical department that he doesn't understand the overall situation. This is very detrimental to his future development.

The factory buildings, equipment, etc. of the Xunzi factory are definitely not worth so much money, but the more than 1000 mu of land in Xunzi is completely free, and the value is not calculated at all during the evaluation.

Xunzi's location is on the outskirts of Xunyang City, which is relatively remote now, but in a few years, the surrounding area will become prosperous.Lin Zhenhua believes that by then, the value of the land alone will not exceed the 340 million he paid. In 1982, neither the government nor the enterprises knew the value of the land, but Lin Zhenhua did.If he doesn't take down the land now, it will be more difficult than reaching the sky if he wants to take such a large land when the government comes to his senses.

Among the assets received by Lin Zhenhua, there are still 2 unsalable bicycles, which are neatly stacked in the warehouse.The ex-factory price of bicycles is 80 yuan, and these bikes occupy Xunzi's 160 million working capital, which is the key reason for Xunzi's downfall.When Lin Zhenhua received them, he bought them for 40 yuan each, because Qiu Qingyang also admitted that these bicycles had quality defects, which led to serious slow sales.

Lin Zhenhua doesn't have time to look at these bicycles, but he believes that he can always find a way to dig out the value of these bicycles.If it really doesn’t work, disassemble them all and turn them into wheelchairs. With Uncle Benshan’s spirit of selling abductees, you still worry about not being able to sell them?

The acquisition of assets is not difficult. The biggest difficulty in this merger is the identity of these 300 workers.

According to Lin Zhenhua's thinking, if there is no skin and no hair, Qiu Qingyang has already taken the leaders to a small building in the city to form a government-in-exile. Could these 300 workers follow?Now that the workers are working hard on Hanhua's production line, why not just change their identities and be included in the Hanhua company's establishment?

But both Xie Chunyan and Zhu Tiejun knew that Lin Zhenhua's idea was too naive, too simple, and too stupid. He was an employee of a state-owned enterprise, so how could he change his status to become an employee of a large collective?The current employment method is acceptable to others. They are first-class citizens who go to work in second-class companies. Even though you are the one who pays the wages, your social status is not as high as that of others.Now you want others to lower their status, how can they accept it?Besides, the Department of Light and Chemical Industry has no right to dismiss an employee of a state-owned enterprise. This is not something that can be settled with a mere notice.

The idea of ​​the light and chemical department is that it is enough for your Hanhua company to get the factory area, and these 300 workers still retain their official positions. It is tacitly understood by everyone to work here, so why not do it?But Lin Zhenhua couldn't accept this method. The 300 workers on the production line were not under his control, which was really uncomfortable.To put it bluntly, what should I do if one day Qiu Qingyang came to make some demands?You know, these 300 people are all Qiu Qingyang's employees in name.

Lin Zhenhua did not act recklessly. He stayed in Xunzi Factory for a full month. While guiding production, he communicated privately with Xunzi's key employees to understand their attitude towards giving up their status as employees of state-owned enterprises and joining Hanhua Company. Intention.After fully understanding everyone's demands and doubts, Lin Zhenhua played a set of combined punches.

First of all, Lin Zhenhua agreed to maintain the status quo according to the arrangement of the Department of Light and Chemical Industry. All employees of Xunzi Factory can work in the status of dispatching labor from Hanhua Industrial Company as in the past.The significance of such a commitment lies in stabilizing people's hearts and avoiding mass incidents.

Later, Lin Zhenhua announced that Hanhua Company accepted Xunzi's employees as official employees of Hanhua Company, provided that they voluntarily resigned from Xunzi.Official workers and dispatched labor workers continue to maintain the "equal pay for equal work" policy promised by Lin Zhenhua in terms of wages, but there will be a world of difference in the benefits enjoyed by the two.

People outside the circle can't understand things like welfare.The difference between a good company and a bad company is often not reflected in wages, but in benefits.In those days, the wages of the fourth-grade workers in any enterprise were the same, whether they worked more or less, and whether the business was booming or not.But when it comes to welfare, the difference is too obvious.

From the perspective of Hanhua Company, employees can reimburse how much they can pay for visiting relatives, cold drinks, warming fire, nutrition for children, and filial piety for the elderly... Each of these items is three or five yuan, which does not seem to be true. How eye-catching.But adding it up, it costs 80 yuan a year, which is worth two months' wages.

The employees of Hanhua Company can distribute two sets of work clothes a year, all of which are made of polyester card fabric, and the colors are optional.In fact, most workers can't wear out a set of work clothes for a year at all, and these clothes can be changed as children's clothes.Employees of the company also have the right to purchase two sets of electric fans at cost price. You can use them as gifts to relatives and friends, or you are willing to sell them at a higher price in the market. In short, the difference between the prices is the income in your pocket.Calculated in this way, it will cost 200 yuan.

If these benefits are not enough to impress the employees, Lin Zhenhua also has a more powerful weapon, which is housing.
