Chapter 224 Director Jiang takes office
Just as Jiang Hui was preparing to go to Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory to formally hand over the work, accompanied by personnel from the First Machinery Department and other related departments, Linda was far away in the United States. Received the letter written by Jiang Hui before.
Linda, who was still debating whether to fly directly to China, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, the price of crude oil futures reached the 20% increase rate set by Jiang Hui. Linda sold all Jiang Hui's crude oil futures contracts in strict accordance with the agreement.
The initial investment of US$4 million, even after deducting some handling fees for Merrill Lynch, still made a profit of almost US$8 million.
Jiang Hui suddenly became a multi-millionaire.
Even for Linda, an account of 12 million US dollars is considered a proper big customer.
It is definitely a pity for Merrill Lynch to let such a large customer just sit in his account without investing.
"No more futures investments in the future?"
"Divide all the funds into three parts and invest in IBM, Apple and Intel respectively?"
"Without his permission, do not perform any operations after buying?"
After reading Jiang Hui's letter, Linda fell silent.
She felt that she couldn't understand any of the decisions in it.
For example, the price of crude oil futures is still rising, but Jiang Hui chose to withdraw completely, and it seems that he will never touch crude oil futures again in the future.
As for stocks, the stocks chosen are quite special.
Although Merrill Lynch's internal analysis also believes that the future prospects of computer-related industries are worth looking forward to.
But this approach of putting eggs in one basket is obviously not in line with Linda's investment ideas.
Even if Jiang Hui is divided into three stocks, the essence has not changed.
Just like in later generations, when you invest in the Chinese stock market, you buy the stocks of ICBC, Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China and China Construction Bank. Is this considered diversified investment?
In the eyes of professional investors, this is completely a single investment.
"Austin, it's a bit inappropriate to show you the letter directly, but the content of the letter is probably what I just told you."
After thinking about it, Linda felt that she still needed to make an appointment. Come out to Austin and have a chat.
She had no way to contact Jiang Hui. Even if she could, she felt that she would not be able to convince Jiang Hui.
The other party is so stubborn, especially after making a successful investment in crude oil futures, he will probably become even more stubborn.
“The funds in my account will be processed in the same way as Jiang Hui. I will transfer an additional amount of funds.”
Austin was honest this time and was ready to fully follow up on Jiang Hui's investment decision.
Anyway, Jiang Hui's choice this time seemed much more normal to Austin than the last time.
Big companies like IBM and Intel sound more reassuring.
Then he will definitely follow suit.
Even if you follow the wrong one, the cost is very limited.
If there is a surprise, you might achieve financial freedom ahead of time.
“Are you so optimistic about these three stocks?”
Linda used to be relatively confident in Austin’s vision, but now she sees that Austin actually chooses to follow Jiang Hui, I was also a little confused.
"At present, there are no particularly big problems with these three stocks, so I choose to believe Jiang Hui."
Austin did not explain much.
This is actually a gamble for him.
However, what Linda told him also made him more interested in what happened after Jiang Hui returned to China.
He thinks it is necessary for General Motors to set up an office in China. On the one hand, it is to see if it can export some cars to China for sale. On the other hand, it is to inquire about various policies and market changes in China. In order to look for business opportunities later.
Anyway, this investment does not cost a lot of money, so you can give it a try.
This way it will be much easier for me to know more about Jiang Hui in the future.
...
Just when Austin was thinking about setting up an office in China, the American Embassy was also very concerned about the reform of factory management in China.
Although the scope of this reform is still very weak in the eyes of Smith and others.
But for the Chinese people, its strength is already great and has subverted many perceptions.
"Woodcock, that Jiang Hui signed a factory contract with the First Machinery Department, the official Castle Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, the contract period is three years."
"This is a precedent for China's factory reform."
Smith is now specifically responsible for collecting information related to Jiang Hui, and then reporting directly to Woodcock.
Due to cooperation with China on aid projects to Algeria, Woodcock, who was originally going to return to China this year, continues to work in China to facilitate communication between the two parties.
“Isn’t Jiang Hui’s development in Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory very smooth? Why did he choose to take the risk of contracting the factory at this time?”
Woodcock’s comments on Jiang Hui’s development in Capital Automobile The situation in the manufacturing plant has always been of great concern.
He even knew that Jiang Hui became the deputy director of the R&D Center of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant some time ago.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Jiang Hui would leave the factory and take the risk of contracting a small factory.
This decision definitely surprised many people.
"I am still inquiring about the specific reasons, but this news is very accurate."
It is not surprising that Smith would have such questions about his ambassador.
He himself had the same question.
“Pay close attention to what happened after Jiang Hui contracted that factory. I feel that this is likely to have a greater impact on Huaxia’s future factory reform.”
Woodcock I still have a good eye, and I am very keenly aware of the meaning behind this reform.
China has now become more and more active in making some economic-related reforms, which is a scene that Woodcock is happy to see.
Of course, it would be best if the pace could be bigger.
"Previously, General Motors and AMC were very positive about some information related to Jiang Hui. I will inform them of this situation later."
As the American embassy in China, their A large part of the job is to provide information-related support to large domestic companies.
The shareholders behind these large companies are the real owners of America.
"Well, a young Chinese man with such a high technical level has made such an unexpected decision. It is indeed worth telling General Motors and AMC this information."
"It may not be determined in the future. There will be some further cooperation possibilities between them.”
Woodcock has come into contact with a lot of Chinese people in the past few years, but not many of them left a deep impression on him.
Jiang Hui is definitely one of them.
……
Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory.
This factory, which was established in the 1950s, now naturally knows that the destiny of its factory has undergone a major change.
Due to the characteristics of this era, workers had a high status, and there were no other typical precedents for factories in society to lay off workers or fire workers, so even if the factory was contracted, everyone's mood was still relatively stable.
After all, the personnel from the relevant departments have told them that after the factory is contracted by Jiang Hui, their benefits will not decrease, but will only increase.
Wages may even rise.
In this case, everyone’s opinions are naturally not that big.
But some management personnel are more confused.
"Chang Li, the new director will take office tomorrow. I asked specifically about him. Although he is very young, he is still a famous figure in the capital's automobile industry."
"Even at a young age, he is already He has published books such as "Project Management" and "Car Maintenance Guide" and is a powerful person."
"It is said that he is responsible for the design of the new BJ212 that can be seen on the street from time to time."
< br>Chang Hongjian is the director of the final assembly workshop of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory. His business ability is very good, but it has nothing to do with him. Basically he can only stay in this position and there is no way to transfer to other factories.
Relevant people such as the factory director and chief engineer have been transferred to work elsewhere in advance.
The people with the highest positions now are deputy factory director Li Zifu and him, the workshop director.
“The more powerful a person is, the more he has his own ideas and will not easily listen to other people’s opinions.” “I hope he can really lead us to turn losses into profits quickly, otherwise the First Machinery Department will If Bian won’t allocate funds to us starting next year, the factory will really have a big problem.”
Li Zifu has been working at Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory since then, and he is very familiar with this place. Very emotional.
Of course he hopes that the factory where he has worked all his life will really decline.
"Since Director Jiang was able to design a new car for the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, he also designed a 4MT manual transmission for the Capital Gear Plant, and also guided the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Plant to develop a new generation of engines."
"This It shows that his technical strength is absolutely very high. It is estimated that there is no one more powerful than him in the entire Capital Automobile Factory."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to become Capital Automobile at such a young age. The deputy director of the R&D center of the manufacturing plant is a department-level cadre."
When Chang Hongjian said this, Li Zifu couldn't help but nodded.
This is indeed the truth.
It seems like a good thing that such a powerful number one person is willing to contract the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory?
The premise is that when he comes, he will not directly get rid of several of their management teams.
“We try our best to do the workers’ work well and let everyone cooperate with Director Jiang’s future work. We all work together to get things done, otherwise it will be no good to anyone.”
< br>Li Zifu couldn't find any better way for the time being, so he could only take one step at a time.
……
"Xiao Jiang, go to the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory to hand over tomorrow. Have you figured out how to appease the workers?"
Zhu Jiansheng has been busy with the large-scale mass production of Hummer military vehicles during this period. He is very interested in Chaoyang Motorcycle. I only know a little bit about the car factory.
Of course, this is also based on his confidence in Jiang Hui's work, otherwise it would definitely not be this attitude.
“Workers are actually the best to appease. As long as they know that they are still workers of the country and their wages have increased, then everything will be easier.”
Jiang Hui has two lives His experience as a human being and his grasp and understanding of the human heart are relatively deep.
For grassroots personnel, it is more reliable to stop talking about feelings and just talk about something practical.
"Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is estimated to have a loss of 80,000 yuan this year, although the First Machinery Department has made it clear that you are not responsible for this loss."
"But you signed a contract with the First Machinery Department The contract is to make an annual profit of 80,000 yuan in the next three years. The difference between one plus and one minus is not a little bit."
"If you give the workers a wage increase under this situation, The loss is likely to be even greater."
Zhu Jiansheng looked at Jiang Hui a little worriedly.
He didn't mean to exploit the workers, but he was worried that Jiang Hui would not be able to fulfill the quota stipulated in the contract.
That would definitely be a very bad result.
“It doesn’t matter. If we don’t have enough funds, then we can bring in other shareholders justifiably.”
“I will come up with several plans at that time. People in the factory can raise funds themselves, or they can Choose to support the introduction of investors.”
“Anyway, all conditions are open to all employees. You choose which option to support. Even if the relevant departments have opinions or someone reports something in the future, they will be able to withstand it. Consider.”
Jiang Hui is destined to turn Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory into his own industry.
Even if you don’t hold 100% of the shares at the beginning, you will definitely have to do so in the future.
He has no intention of allocating shares to employees for at least twenty years.
Of course, dividends are another matter.
“The factory has been losing money for three consecutive years. I guess no one is willing to choose to raise funds, right?”
When Zhu Jiansheng said this, Jiang Hui immediately said: "Then it would be best. When the time comes, I will come forward to purchase part of the shares, and the foreign-funded company under Linlin's name will buy 49%, and the remaining part will be kept temporarily to avoid giving to a group of people." The machine department brings too much excitement. "
Jiang Hui plans to buy 20% to 30% of the shares by himself. Combined with the 49% of the shares controlled by Zhu Lin, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory will be completely controlled. Jiang Hui had it in his hands.
Even if someone wants to come and pick peaches, they won’t be able to pick them.
"Are you taking too big a step if you do this?"
Zhu Jiansheng was a little worried that Jiang Hui was walking too fast and would be attacked.
Although China has been talking about reform and opening up for two years, it is very difficult to change many concepts.
Many people will not be able to accept these views even ten years later.
“Since I have chosen to cooperate with the First Machinery Department to contract the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory at this time, I am destined to be at the forefront of reform in the future.”
“If the steps are too small, On the contrary, it will disappoint those who support us.”
Jiang Hui is ready to serve as a pioneer of reform and become a banner for reform.
Although there are certain risks in this approach, after being deeply tied to the company in Hong Kong City, it can be regarded as a talisman in this era.
The most important thing is to plan in advance, so that you can enjoy more benefits in the future.
Not to mention other things, if you wait until after 1992 to start working alone, it will be very difficult to absorb the various technologies and talents after the fall of the polar bear on a large scale.
Because your stall is not spread out, people will not work with you at all, and you have no place to accommodate these people.
But things are different now. In another ten years, the strength of the factory controlled by Jiang Hui will definitely be different from what it used to be.
When the time comes, if you have the foundation and money, you will have no problem if you want to take a good bite of fat from a polar bear.
Many things do not need to rely on Jiang Hui's own output, but can smoothly overtake the polar bear in corners.
“What you said makes sense. When the time comes to immigrate to Hong Kong City, I think we should live there from time to time.”
“If the time is right, you can live there in Hong Kong City. Also buy a house.”
“In this way, we can better utilize the role of foreign-funded companies.”
Zhu Jiansheng is now able to accept Zhu Lin's immigration to Hong Kong City. Anyway, the people of Hong Kong City will also be Chinese in the future, and no one dares to use this to attack Zhu Jiansheng.
"Well, tomorrow I will find an opportunity to go to the port city in person and get all these things done by then."
Jiang Hui would do this without Zhu Jiansheng's reminder.
The port city of this era is also full of opportunities.
After setting up a company there, it must not be completely regarded as a leather bag company, but it must also exert some influence.
...
“Today, Leader Zhou, Bureau Qin and others from the First Machinery Department personally accompanied you to Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory. It seems that the department really takes this matter very seriously.”
When he went out in the morning, Zhu Lin straightened Jiang Hui's collar again.
Today is an important day. Director Jiang will finally take office officially.
Although it is only a factory with more than 200 people, tall buildings have risen from the ground.
After having a team of more than two hundred people, it is not impossible for it to grow in the future and make it more than 2,000 or more than 20,000 people.
Even Jiang Hui has already designed the main drawings of the new products to be developed next.
“This kind of factory contracting is unprecedented. The First Machinery Department must have been under some pressure, so naturally I hope I can succeed.”
“It can be said that now is the time to develop Chaoyang Motorcycles. When the manufacturing plant is at its best, the First Machinery Department is willing to help if it can."
"In a few years, the situation will be completely different."
Jiang Hui chatted with Zhu Lin for a while, and then set off with Zhu Jiansheng.
At such an important moment, Zhu Jiansheng must follow Jiang Hui to the scene to take a look.
His titles as a member of the Capital Institute of Technology and the dean of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering still have some effect.
"Well, hurry up and set off. Don't let the leaders of the First Machinery Department arrive by then and you haven't arrived yet. That would be bad."
Zhu Lin surrounded Jiang Hui After turning around, I felt everything was perfect.
At this time, it is not the time to rub shoulders.
Jiang Hui did not hesitate, picked up his briefcase and left the courtyard.
The Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory is not far from the Siheyuan. It takes less than ten minutes to drive there.
However, when they arrived at the factory gate, Jiang Hui and the others did not go in directly. Instead, they waited for the leaders of the First Machinery Department to pass by.
Whether it's a fox pretending to be a tiger or a leader's support, Jiang Hui will definitely not be polite to the resources he can utilize.
