Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 135 The water is deep

Speaking of the Bac Ninh Meat Factory, everyone in the vicinity of Bac Ninh knows it.

In the 80s, this state-owned enterprise was very powerful.

Beining Meat Factory is affiliated to Beining No.[-] Shang.

It is responsible for the meat supply of the entire Bac Ninh and surrounding areas.

The Meat Factory not only has a slaughtering plant, but also a meat processing plant. It is an old state-owned enterprise with nearly a thousand employees.

But as the times reached the mid-to-late 80s, its life was not so easy.

During the reform and opening up process in Bac Ninh, many small meat processing workshops emerged at the historic moment, occupying a large part of the market.

The only ones that can make a profit now are slaughterhouses.

This is due to national policy.

According to the country's slaughter management regulations, all commercial pigs sold by farmers must be delivered to the slaughterhouse, and pork sales points directly operated by supply and marketing cooperatives and meat joint factories must be wholesaled from the slaughterhouse, otherwise it is illegal.

If the industry and commerce find out, they will be punished.

Under such protection, pigs raised by farmers around Bac Ninh must be sold to slaughterhouses unless they are eaten by themselves.

Other meat sales outlets must also wholesale pork here.

This ensures its profits.

But other processing plants, apart from processing sausages and kielbasa, don't have much to offer.

The state-owned enterprise has reached the point where it is borrowing money to pay wages.

Shen Yang took Lu Changhua to the Second Commercial Bureau of Beining City first.

The director of the Second Commercial Bureau was very familiar with Shen Yang. The two shook hands and exchanged greetings for a while, then introduced Lu Changhua, and then talked about the purpose of their visit.

"Oh? A meat factory. This is one of the most troublesome enterprises for us now."

Director Shang Guoqiang sighed, poured hot tea for the two of them, and then they started chatting.

"There are two branches below the meat factory, one is a slaughtering plant and the other is a processing plant."

"The slaughterhouse can barely pay wages, but the processing plant can't. Now they only work for half a year, and they have to borrow money to pay wages."

"So far, we have borrowed 80 from the bureau. If we don't change it, we won't be able to afford it."

"How about we go to the scene and have a look?"

Shen Yang suggested.

"Okay, I'll give them a call."

Shang Guoqiang made a phone call and asked the Secretary of the Director of the Meat Joint Factory to wait in the office.

The two jeeps headed towards the Bac Ninh Meat Factory.

The meat factory is far away from the city, to the east of Qinghua Tool Factory.

This is a down-and-out place, and the smell of the slaughterhouse won't be blown into the city by the wind.

A gravel road leads directly from the edge of Qinghua Tool Factory to the Meat Factory.

The meat factory occupies a very large area.

The processing plant not only has a processing workshop, but also a cold storage.The slaughterhouse is further east.

The jeep came directly to the gate of the meat joint factory.

Seeing that there were two jeeps, the guard let them go.

As soon as you enter, there is a big courtyard.

There is a circle of poplar trees planted around the courtyard. Each tree is tall and lush, with a height of more than ten meters.

A bungalow more than 50 meters long is located on the north side of the yard.

The jeep drove directly here and stopped at the gate.

There were two people standing at the door, one tall and one short, one thin and one fat.

Shang Guoqiang got out of the jeep in front, and the two of them walked a few steps closer to shake hands with Director Shang and exchange greetings.

As soon as Shen Yang and Lu Changhua got out of the car, Director Shang brought them over and introduced them to them.

"This is Director Shen from the Provincial General Office, and this is Lu Changhua, Xiao Lu, our young entrepreneur from Beining."

"Oh, welcome, welcome."

The tall, thin middle-aged man is Zhou Wei, the secretary of the meat factory, and the short, fat one is the factory director Zheng Qiang.

Both of them were worried about the unexpected visit from the bureau today.

The Second Commercial Bureau has long been clamoring to reform the meat factory.But in the past two years, there were too many units that needed to be reformed, and it was not their turn yet, so the two of them just muddle along.

In fact, they had already discussed the future of the meat factory.

If changes must be made or changes must be made, they will find a way to raise money and contract out the meat processing factory.

Before that, the meat joint factory would definitely not be able to make a profit.

This is their wishful thinking.

Processing factories that had little business to begin with, under their control, cut their operating hours by half and borrowed money from the bureau to pay wages.

"Let's go to the workshop first."

"Okay, let's go to the workshop first."

Zhou Wei and Zheng Qiang led the way first, while Shang Guoqiang followed with Shen Yang and Lu Changhua.

There was no one in the processing workshop, and there were flies flying on several pieces of machinery and equipment.

Looking at these equipment, many are rusty.

There was a rancid smell in the workshop.

Shang Guoqiang's face was ugly, and Shen Yang also frowned.

Zhou Wei and Zheng Qiang coughed awkwardly and pretended not to see it.

Lu Changhua walked around the workshop and found nothing to see.

The mechanical equipment is also very simple.

It's a grinder, a mixer, a sausage machine, etc.

As for the canning production equipment he wanted, there was none.

The workshop is quite large, covering six to seven hundred square meters.

It's just that the factory building is a bit old and it's not yet a sterile workshop.

The workshop is connected to a large refrigerated warehouse.

The cold storage was not turned on and there was a smell inside.

"How long has it been since you started working?"

Shen Yang asked.

"Well, it's been more than half a year."

Several people visited several workshops and the situation was basically similar.

They returned to the office.Let Zheng Qiang introduce the details of the meat factory.

"Our meat joint factory has three processing workshops with an area of ​​[-] square meters, six warehouses, three normal temperature warehouses and three cold storages."

"There are three food freezer trucks and 460 employees."

“How many administrative staff are there?”

Lu Changhua asked suddenly.

"Uh, let Secretary Zhou answer this."

"Ahem, there are a lot of administrative staff, 83 people. Mainly office, labor, logistics, workshop management, etc."

None of the people present spoke.

Everyone knows that there are too many non-production personnel.

"How many retirees are there?"

Shen Yang asked.

"There are 640 eight retirees in the entire meat processing plant."

"Where's the slaughterhouse?"

"This is the number of retirees in the entire factory."

Zhou Wei quickly explained.

"How many employees are there?"

"There are 280 people in the slaughterhouse."

"What products do we have now?"

"There are sausages, but they're all discontinued."

After understanding the situation, Shang Guoqiang didn't want to stay here and took Shen Yang and the others away.

Zhou Wei and Zheng Qiang both let out a sigh of relief and finally got over it.

This is the current situation of state-owned enterprises.

There is a large proportion of management personnel, few front-line personnel, many retired personnel, and few active personnel.

How can enterprises develop with such a burden on enterprises? !

Returning to the Second Commercial Bureau, Shang Guoqiang's heart was heavy.

"You have also seen that the meat factory is no longer able to operate normally."

"Comrade Xiao Lu, are you interested in contracting?"

"Haha, Director Shang, how can I contract with such a company's current situation?"

"Yes, I also know that this situation is indeed difficult, but we can sign a contract as long as these employees can pay their wages."

"Director Shang, the burden is too heavy, the pressure is too great, and the interpersonal relationships here are complicated. I really have no confidence."

Lu Changhua was originally interested in contracting or joint venture, but now it seems that it would be better to build a new factory.

Not to mention anything else, just these two secretaries and factory directors, as long as they don't leave, Lu Changhua will not be able to command people movingly!

Besides, as a self-employed person, I would never be able to make sense of being mixed up with such a state-owned unit.

Originally, I didn't mean to take advantage of the country, so why do I still do this? !

"Xiao Lu, I think it's really not suitable for you to contract. Can you consider leasing?"

Shen Yang suggested.

"Lease? What's the leasing law?"

Director Shang asked.

"It means renting the space of the Meat Factory to Xiao Lu, the workshop and so on, and letting Xiao Lu use it, and he will pay the rent. As for the employees, if there are suitable ones, they can use them, and if they are not suitable, forget it."

"Xiao Lu doesn't have to bear so much pressure. Anyway, our workshops and warehouses are idle, so if they are idle, they are idle. Wouldn't it be better to rent them to him?"

hiss~
Director Shang took a breath.

He originally thought about asking Xiao Lu to revitalize the meat factory, but he didn't know that he was unwilling to do so.

He also understood Lu Changhua, and he wouldn't have paid to suffer.

"Xiao Lu, what do you think?"

Shen Yang looked at Lu Changhua.

"It depends on what Director Shang wants."

"I don't have any objections. As Director Shen said, it's empty anyway, and you'll still get some rent if you rent it out. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."

Lu Changhua feels that it is cost-effective to rent a factory and workshop, and the limited funds can be used in other aspects, which is a good thing.

But the specific situation depends on the negotiation situation.

"Director Shang, I'll go back and discuss it with my family. Your bureau also needs to have a charter. We'll talk about it in a few days. What do you think?"

"Okay, let's talk about it next week."

Both parties left their phone numbers.

Lu Changhua invited Shang Guoqiang to have dinner at Boiling Fish Village.

The old businessman agreed with a smile and said he would arrive in the evening.

Shen Yang and Lu Changhua stood up and said goodbye.

On the way, Shen Yang asked: "Xiao Lu, are you unwilling to rent?"

"Leadership is not unwilling, but afraid of resistance."

"Look at their current situation. The secretary and factory director have turned the company into this state. They are still going their own way without taking any measures to turn things around. This speaks volumes."

"what is the problem?"

Shen Yang asked with a smile.

"Either they have the intention to transfer Paipai Butt and leave, or they have other agendas."

"Well, that's what it means."

Shen Yang nodded.

"You said the old merchant didn't see it?"

Lu Changhua asked curiously.

"Haha, it is their principle not to tell the truth when you see it. Who is the fool these days?!"

"Actually, their current advantages are factories and workshops, as well as skilled workers, and nothing else is good."

"If I have sufficient funds, I don't want to mess with them at all."

"You, then just take advantage of him. This can be discussed!"

The two of them galloped towards Boiling Fish Village.
