Chapter 464 Investment is Risky

"Director He, I don't know much about the situation of Hunbei Forging Press. However, workers are sometimes emotional, and what they say may not be completely reliable. I dare not say that all the leaders in our Hunbei City enterprise It’s tough, but most of them are good.” Yu Hanqiao had no choice but to explain to He Haifeng.

Everyone heard what Chen Qing said just now.If what Chen Qing said is true, then the problem of muddy forging is far from a shortage of funds, but a problem of corruption in the cadre team.If the leading cadres in an enterprise misbehave, no matter how much money is invested, it will be a bottomless pit.

This kind of thing is getting darker and darker, and Yu Hanqiao didn't dare to tell He Haifeng that Guo Guibao was fine.On the contrary, as the head of the Hunbei City Labor Bureau, he walked frequently with the leaders of a large factory like Hun forging, and he knew in his heart that Guo Guibao had a serious problem.

Now that she knew this, Yu Hanqiao could only adopt the strategy of practicing Tai Chi.He neither said that Guo Guibao was okay, nor that Guo Guibao really had a problem, but said with a sloppy eye that most of the corporate leaders in Hunbei City were good.This "majority" is a matter of no evidence. How can you, director, pull out all the business leaders and screen them again?
It is not once or twice that He Haifeng has encountered this kind of thing, so he naturally would not express his opinion on the spot, but just nodded and said noncommittally: "I have heard and seen a lot of things at Hun Forging Press today. Come here, let's go back first."

Speaking of this, he reached out to shake Li Genyuan's hand and said, "Master Li, I'm sorry to bother you today, thank you for your advice."

"It should be, it should be." Li Genyuan said humbly, and then he seemed to inadvertently ask: "Director He, have you arranged where you live? Where do you live?"

He Haifeng said: "It's all arranged. The Hunhe Hotel is arranged by your city government."

"Oh, Hunhe Hotel, that place is nice." Li Genyuan nodded.

On the car back to the hotel, the atmosphere was rather awkward.Both Lin Zhenhua and He Haifeng had soy sauce expressions on their faces, as if the scenes they saw today had nothing to do with them.But Yu Hanqiao, who was in charge of escorting, didn't know that He Haifeng would definitely not take this little dispute between Guo Guibao and Chen Qing lightly.The heartless Yuan Yunmei babbled a few words when she first got into the car, and then she shut up angrily when she saw Yu Hanqiao's expression was wrong. However, she never understood what was wrong with her. where is it.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Yu Hanqiao took He Haifeng and Lin Zhenhua to their respective rooms and told them that he would invite them again when it was time for dinner.He Haifeng thanked him and then sent him away.After Yu Hanqiao returned to the car, she gave Yuan Yunmei a scolding, which is another story.

As soon as Yu Hanqiao left, Lin Zhenhua arrived at He Haifeng's room.He Haifeng expected that he would come, so he had already brewed two cups of tea and waited for him. Seeing him coming in, he pointed to the sofa for him to sit down, brought him another cup of tea, and asked, "How is it, Xiaolin?" , What do you think about today's matter?"

The relationship between Lin Zhenhua and He Haifeng can be regarded as close to a certain extent.If it were someone else, I'm afraid there would be no chance to make a cup of tea for He Haifeng, but Lin Zhenhua could just wait for He Haifeng to make tea for him.He took a sip of tea and said, "Old He, I think the matter of mud forging is not easy."

"Tell me about it." He Haifeng said.

"When we talked with Li Genyuan today, I felt that he didn't say something. I remember I asked Li Genyuan if investing some money can make Hun Forging Press turn profitable, and he answered very hesitantly." Lin Zhenhua said.

He Haifeng said: "It was Yu Hanqiao who said for him that funding is the main problem."

"Hehe, it seems that everyone is staring at the money in the hands of you, the leader of the State Planning Commission." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.

He Haifeng laughed at Lin Zhenhua in turn and said, "They made a wrong idea. In fact, you, Chairman Lin, are the richest."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Honestly speaking, I wouldn't care too much if the investment of more than 2000 million yuan can bring Hun Forging Press back to life. If our group is squeezed out, it will be no problem to squeeze out three to five billion yuan of liquidity. The key is , Can the money be invested in it to have any effect?"

"Isn't the answer to what Chen Qing said already given?" He Haifeng said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Actually, I was already thinking about this issue before watching the rivalry scene between Chen Qing and Guo Guibao. After listening to Chen Qing's words, I became more convinced. Behind every loss-making enterprise, there must be There are swarms of moths. Even if a company with a strong foundation like Hun Forge encounters difficulties in operation, if the leadership is effective and the workers can help each other, at least it will not be as bad as it is now."

"Xiao Lin, have you ever heard of a popsicle theory?" He Haifeng asked.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

He Haifeng said: "This theory was put forward by several scholars who studied the reform of state-owned enterprises in the Academy of Social Sciences. They believed that the current state-owned enterprises are like a popsicle. Under the original system, this popsicle was frozen in the Although the ones in the refrigerator are rigid, at least they will not melt. Now that the old system has been broken and the new system has not been established, it is equivalent to putting the popsicles in the open air. Over time, the popsicles will become a little bit It melted away a little bit."

"That's right, Jiang Shidian used to be like this." Lin Zhenhua said, "It was a pretty good company, which caused people like Niu Beisheng and Jin Jianbo to go bankrupt and close down, and more than half of the state-owned assets were lost."

He Haifeng said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. This popsicle theory has another meaning, that is, this popsicle melts there, and no one will make a sound. But if anyone wants to take a bite, put it If you eat it, you will commit a big taboo."

"It's better to dissolve it than let others take a bite. This logic... is really speechless." Lin Zhenhua understood the metaphor in He Haifeng's words.

This was the case back then. State-owned enterprises were losing money year after year, and their assets continued to drain until they became insolvent.Everyone sees this kind of thing, but they don't say anything.Many companies are losing money. As long as the responsibility for the loss is pushed to the country or the policy, everyone will have no responsibility.But the disposal of state-owned assets is different. Whether it is to restructure a state-owned enterprise or sell it directly, it is a very sensitive political issue. If you are not careful, you may become the target of attacks by others.

Under such circumstances, many officials chose to do nothing, watching the popsicles melt without taking any measures.

"I came to the Northeast this time to make up my mind. Seeing the situation in the Northeast, my determination became clearer. Instead of letting these state-owned enterprises slowly decline, it is better to cut the mess quickly and keep some of them. Hopefully, other companies will be brought directly to the market, and those who have the ability to prevent the popsicles from melting will take over." He Haifeng said.

"I'm one of them, right?" Lin Zhenhua said with a wry smile, "Old He, to be honest, after inspecting Hunbei these days, I really lack confidence in taking over Hunbei's enterprises. As the saying goes, investment has risks, and entering the market You must be cautious. The water in Hunbei is really muddy enough, I am really worried that I will be able to retreat completely."

"Your worry is justified." He Haifeng said, "I also regret it now. If I knew that things in Northeast China were so complicated, I shouldn't have let you get involved. Seriously, Xiaolin, you Hanhua Group You have done a very good job, and if you continue to develop, it will become an important cornerstone of the national economy. If the overall development of your group is affected in order to take over the enterprises in the Northeast, I cannot forgive myself."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old He, why do I feel that your words are a bit aggressive?"

"Hehe, is there?" He Haifeng smiled slightly, "Xiaolin, what I said is the truth. I have seen the situation in Hunbei. In two days, I will continue to go north to Jilin and Heilongjiang. Investigation. I want to keep you in Hunbei, and you can consider whether you can merge several large companies in Hunbei. However, let me explain in advance that I fully respect your choice whether to merge or not, and there is no intention of forcing it. "

Lin Zhenhua said: "I really need to reconsider this matter. However, I also have one thing to explain in advance. If I want to annex an enterprise in Hunbei, the state must give me sufficient support. First of all, the current leaders of the enterprise , I will not keep any of them, and dismiss all of them. Then, for those who are capable and have a good reputation among the masses, I can consider re-employing them;

"This condition, I can say hello to the relevant departments of Hunbei City for you, but I can't guarantee whether they will accept it. After all, these people are their cadres, and they will protect their shortcomings." He Haifeng Said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "If they can't agree to my conditions, then I have no choice but to clap my hands and leave. If such a group of leaders stay, how much property can I have for them to ruin? I think Hunbei City also has to consider its own achievements. The question is, they don’t want these companies to turn losses as soon as possible?”

He Haifeng sneered and said, "Xiao Lin, you are still inexperienced. Do you think the officials of Hunbei City really want the company to turn around as soon as possible?"

"Of course..." Lin Zhenhua blurted out, "Old He, you don't think they still want the company to lose money, do you? If they don't care about turning losses around, why bother to flatter you all day long?"

He Haifeng said: "They flatter me because they know that I came with turnaround funds, and they hope to get some more funds from me. But after getting the funds, they will not use the money for turnaround, and even they I also hope that the company can continue to lose money, do you know why?"

"I see." Lin Zhenhua sighed, "As long as the company is still losing money, they can continue to ask the country for money. This kind of money that comes at no cost, it is naturally very enjoyable to spend."
