Chapter 309 The Ambition of Deputy Mayor Wang

"General Manager Lin, it's not that simple."

In the office of the deputy mayor of Luzhong Municipal Government, Wang Xurui said to Lin Zhenhua with a gentle smile on his face.

As Ma Shengfan had introduced to Lin Zhenhua, the Deputy Mayor Wang was a white-faced scholar with gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He looked gentle and refined, and he always smiled before speaking.However, Lin Zhenhua felt uncomfortable looking at this fake smile, wishing to punch that smiling face to reveal its true meaning.

More than half a month has passed since the meeting between Lin Zhenhua and Ma Shengfan.During this half month, engineers and executives from Hanhua Heavy Industry inspected the equipment, technology and internal management of Luzhong Machine Tool Factory in detail. the situation presented.Everyone agreed that Luzhong Machine Tool Factory has great potential for development. If capital can be injected into it and Hanhua Machine Tool Company's technical reserves so far can be shared with it, this old machine tool company will be able to regain its new life.

During this period, Ma Shengfan and other leaders of Luzhong Machine Tool Factory also conducted a serious inspection of Hanhua Heavy Industry.When they saw the brilliant performance of Hanhua Heavy Industry, especially the large amount of technological achievements stored in the laboratory jointly established by Hanhua Heavy Industry and the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Huaqing University, they immediately expressed their support for the joint venture between Hanhua Heavy Industry and Luzhong Machine Tool Factory. To revive the "Luji" brand.

Lin Zhenhua's preference for machine tools is a complex brought from his previous life.From the moment he crossed over, he thought about how to make use of his professional expertise in his previous life to make China's machine tool industry develop faster and better.Before that, he made simple gear hobbing machines and submerged arc welding machines by himself, and used old machine tools to transform the simplest CNC machine tools with Liu Xianghai to realize imitation five-axis linkage processing. These are his favorite things.

With the platform of Cen Youjun's Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory, Lin Zhenhua established a machine tool accessories company to produce some machine tool accessories such as automatic tool changers, and now has a small reputation in the international machine tool market.He has always wanted to find an opportunity to enter the machine tool market, and now this opportunity has finally come.

Prior to this, Lin Zhenhua had given a lot of funding to the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Huaqing University, and established several laboratories in the headquarters of Hanhua Company, specializing in the research of machine tool technology.At present, a large number of scientific research achievements have been formed in numerical control technology, precision manufacturing, measurement technology, new materials, etc. As long as a platform can be found, these achievements will immediately bear fruit.

Before that, Cen Youjun had also searched for relevant partners, but some machine tool companies in Jiangnan Province and the surrounding areas were either too small to provide a platform for cooperation, or they were just getting along and had no motivation to cooperate with others.Lin Zhenhua also thought about entering this market directly by himself, but reason told him that it was unrealistic to start without a foundation.The machine tool industry is an industry with thresholds, and a lot of experience in production and sales cannot be formed overnight.

Now the opportunity has finally come. Luzhong Machine Tool Factory has a good production foundation and a well-known domestic brand. It is an ideal partner.And this partner is precisely facing operational difficulties, which meets the conditions of "taking advantage of the fire" as Xiang Zhe often said.Such a partner, rather than letting the Japanese company buy it for nothing, it is more valuable for Hanhua Heavy Industries to eat.

After a period of contact, Lin Zhenhua and Ma Shengfan negotiated a cooperation intention in private, and then they will submit it to the Luzhong Municipal Government for approval.In Ma Shengfan's words, the previous matter belongs to free love, and if you really want to become a couple, you have to get the mother-in-law above to nod.Arranged marriages are no longer fashionable, but to marry a girl, parents must agree to it, right?

Wang Xurui is the parent officer of Luzhong Machine Tool Factory.

"Our factory was originally directly managed by the province. Later, it was reformed. The province delegated power, so our factory was transferred to Luzhong City. In fact, my rank is also at the deputy department level, which is the same level as Wang Xurui. It's just that he is the official of the parents, and our company is the official of the grandson." Ma Shengfan said to Lin Zhenhua in advance.

Having said that, Ma Shengfan really didn't pay much attention to a deputy mayor at the deputy department level.In Lin Zhenhua's eyes, it is normal for a cadre of this level.Lin Zhenhua has come into contact with too many cadres at the deputy department level. He Haifeng and Liu Xianghai are both at the department level now. In his eyes, they are nothing more than an old He and an old Liu.

"The rich are the masters. If the city government leaves our company, it will be poor enough to sell pants. What the hell?" Lin Zhenhua said nonchalantly.In Xunyang City, Mayor Hong Yu'an was very polite to the leaders of Hanhua Heavy Industry. He called them the God of Wealth when they met. This is the benefit of being rich.

Ma Shengfan laughed and said: "That's right, that's right. In the past, when our factory was doing well, the city leaders were polite when they saw me. Of course, Wang Xurui hadn't come yet. Now our factory is not doing well. From time to time, I have to borrow some money from the city, and the mayor's face is ugly."

"It's okay. After our cooperation is successful, the city leaders will have to smile at you." Lin Zhenhua said confidently.

After preparing all the materials, Lin Zhenhua and Ma Shengfan went to the city hall to meet Wang Xurui.As soon as Lin Zhenhua introduced himself, Wang Xurui made a look of admiration and said enthusiastically: "Oh, it turns out to be General Manager Lin. I have admired you for a long time. You are able to visit our Luzhong City. It is true that we have 800 million people in the city. The glory of the people."

Lin Zhenhua felt that the hairs all over his body were standing on end, and he couldn't help but secretly praised Ma Shengfan for his foresight. At lunch, Ma Shengfan asked him to eat less, which seemed really right.Otherwise, he would have been so disgusted by Wang Xurui that he would have vomited.

"Uh, Mayor Wang, I don't seem to be that great, hehe, hehe." Lin Zhenhua replied with a half-smile.

"Great, absolutely great." Wang Xurui said affirmatively, "The reform and opening up requires entrepreneurs who are brave enough to pioneer like General Manager Lin."

"This...Mayor Wang, let's get down to business." Ma Shengfan couldn't take it anymore, and he was really reluctant to be represented by Wang Xurui as one of the 800 million people for no reason.

"That's right, Director Ma and General Manager Lin, you are all very busy people, let's talk about business, talk about business." Wang Xurui followed suit and immediately returned to the topic.

"Mayor Wang, it's like this. A while ago, didn't the city keep contacting our factory for a joint venture? Recently, Jiangnan Hanhua Heavy Industry Group, which is on the side of General Manager Lin, visited our factory. Our factory is very interested and proposed to form a joint venture with us. I accompanied General Manager Lin this time to discuss this matter." Ma Shengfan explained the purpose of his visit concisely.

Hearing Ma Shengfan's words, the smile on Wang Xurui's face froze a little. He looked at Lin Zhenhua, then turned back to look at Ma Shengfan, and said in a displeased tone: "Director Ma, isn't this matter already settled?" Did you come down? The city government office meeting has also been discussed, and now there are only some details left. Why have you changed again?"

Ma Shengfan said: "Mayor Wang, after all, we haven't signed a contract with the Japanese company, and we are still in the stage of contacting each other. The reason why our factory entered into a joint venture is also because the city feels that we are a burden and cannot carry it. We need to find a burden. General Manager Lin and the others have already understood our situation, they are willing to accept our factory, and the conditions offered are much better than those offered by Japanese companies.”

"This involves a country's credit issue." Wang Xurui said, "We have been in contact with Japanese businessmen so many times, so we have to talk about credit, right? We have repented for no reason, what will people think of us? We Qilu people have always been It’s very trustworthy, it’s not good to go back and forth like this.”

"Mayor Wang, this has nothing to do with Xinyi, right?" Ma Shengfan said depressingly.

Lin Zhenhua interjected: "Mayor Wang, I don't think there is any need to worry about this. In the business field, you can do what you want. There is no negotiation saying that you must buy if you ask for a price, or you must sell if you quote a price." Yes. When Luji chooses a joint venture, it should be based on the bid of the other party. We can give Japan a reciprocal right. If they bid higher than our Hanhua Heavy Industries, they will naturally get the opportunity for a joint venture. If they If the price is low, then there is nothing to say."

Thus, there was the scene at the beginning of this chapter, Wang Xurui told Lin Zhenhua with a gentle and flat smile: things are not that simple.

Wang Xurui said that he has admired Lin Zhenhua's name for a long time, which is really not a polite remark.As a deputy mayor in charge of industry, he pays attention to a lot of information on a daily basis. He has heard a lot about the names of Hanhua Heavy Industry and Lin Zhenhua.Because of this, he was very polite to Lin Zhenhua.Because he knew that he could not afford to be an official in front of Lin Zhenhua, just like he could not afford to be an official in front of Ma Shengfan.Playing official authority can only be effective on those who are different from oneself. In front of people of similar level, playing official authority is not only useless, but often may be slapped in the face.

"Mayor Wang, can you tell me what is not so simple?" Lin Zhenhua also said to Wang Xurui with a smile.Before this, Ma Shengfan had already told him that what Mayor Wang wanted was political performance, and the political performance was only 200 million US dollars. Lin Zhenhua really didn't lack for this.

Wang Xurui did not directly answer Lin Zhenhua's question, but instead asked: "General Manager Lin, you and the factory director Ma must have fully discussed it. How do you plan to cooperate with Luzhong Machine Tool Factory?"

"We plan to invest 1500 million yuan and nearly 200 technical patents to acquire 51% of the equity of Luzhong Machine Tool Factory, and retain the factory name and product brand of Luzhong Machine Tool Factory. The corporate burden after the partnership." Lin Zhenhua said.

"According to the plan we originally discussed with the Japanese, the Japanese paid more than 200 million U.S. dollars as resettlement expenses for retirees and resigned employees. Now we are discussing the plan with General Manager Lin. The resettlement expenses for these people will continue to be paid by The factory bears the burden, and the 1500 million yuan of funds can be used for the technological innovation of our factory, which is equivalent to sending charcoal in a timely manner for our factory." Ma Shengfan added.

Wang Xurui nodded and said: "This condition is indeed good. No wonder Director Ma is so enthusiastic. However, General Manager Lin, you must understand the difficulties in our city. Some things are not just what we want to do. How to do it. The municipal government has the consideration of the municipal government. We are not only responsible for a factory, but also responsible for 800 million people. Therefore, we look at the problem from a different angle from the perspective of the enterprise... You understand ?"

Lin Zhenhua wanted to make Wang Xurui laugh out of anger, why does this guy like to talk about 800 million people so much?He directly filtered out Wang Xurui's high-sounding words, and said bluntly:
"Mayor Wang, Director Ma has also communicated with us about our Luzhong City's difficulties. Our Luzhong City has the task of attracting investment. This is also an open matter, and we can fully understand it. We have considered it. , Part of the funds for the acquisition of the shares of Luzhong Machine Tool Factory can be paid in US dollars. As for the amount, please ask Mayor Wang for instructions. We should think of a way for the amount of 200 million US dollars, and it should be available.”

What is bastard's aura, bastard's aura is not pretended, but must be supported by real strength.Hanhua Heavy Industry has made a lot of foreign trade orders in recent years. Although more than half of the foreign exchange received has been handed over to the country, the remaining part is tens of millions. This is the guarantee that Hanhua Heavy Industry can import a large number of foreign advanced equipment.Taking out 200 million U.S. dollars from these foreign exchanges to make political achievements for Mayor Wang is just a trivial matter.

If Mayor Wang is still not satisfied, Lin Zhenhua can afford 300 million or even 400 million.Such things as foreign exchange are treasures in the eyes of governments at all levels, but they are worthless in Lin Zhenhua's eyes.On the Internet in later generations, countless experts have said that the U.S. dollar is just waste paper printed by the U.S. government, and it is extremely stupid for China to collect foreign exchange.Of course, this was when China’s foreign exchange reserves were quite sufficient, and the experts suddenly changed their minds. Before that, their point of view was: Can a country be considered a big country without several trillion yuan of foreign exchange reserves?
Let me just say something here, in fact, it is very easy to become an expert, that is, no matter what China does, you have to prove it is wrong.For example, when China sells oil, you say that China is selling the wealth of future generations.When China bought oil, you said that China's energy lifeline is in the hands of others.If China neither sells nor buys oil, you can still say that China is closed and lacks international awareness.What is a brick house, isn't it just a guy who smashes people with bricks all day long?

After Lin Zhenhua expressed his attitude, he was only thinking that Wang Xurui would be ecstatic, and even bowed down.Unexpectedly, Wang Xurui was only slightly taken aback, then showed that flat smile again, and said, "General Manager Lin, you made a mistake, what we value is not the dollar."
