Chapter 226 Factory Director, there is no money in the account!

Jiang Hui moved very quickly.

In the afternoon of the same day, Hou Guoming was appointed as the director of the newly established R&D center and director of the production management department.

At the same time, Jiang Hui convened a meeting with the heads of various departments in the factory.

“Director, there is no money in the account!”

When it was Finance Minister Lin Ying's turn to speak, she opened her mouth and brought bad news to Jiang Hui.

It is only October 1980. Although Jiang Hui's contract has come into effect, the assessment tasks will start on January 1 next year.

For the remaining two months of 1980, the relevant funds were normally allocated by the First Machinery Department.

But the First Machinery Department is also short of money now, and many factories below are applying for funds.

Although Jiang Hui could also go to Qin Hao and Zhou Jian at this time, he always felt that it was not the case to ask for money from the ministry as soon as he took office.

Fortunately, Jiang Hui himself wanted to wait until Zhu Lin's company in Gangcheng was established to form a joint venture with Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory. Now there is no money in the factory's account, which is a good excuse.

“It’s hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. The factory has no money. Whether it is purchasing new equipment or investing in new products, it is very difficult.”

“Do you have any ideas?”< br>
Although Jiang Hui has made a decision in his heart, there are some things that are not so good after all when they are said directly from his mouth.

“Director, how about we go to the Machinery Department to apply for a fund?”

This is something Li Zifu often did in the past, and now his first reaction is naturally to ask for money from the Ministry.

“I heard that some factories can borrow money from banks. Or should we borrow money from banks first and pay it back later when the business conditions improve?”

Relatively speaking, often Hongjian's suggestion is relatively reliable and innovative.

However, borrowing money is still difficult for many people to accept.

Unlike later generations, if you think you can borrow money, that's your ability.

"Director, there are more than 200 people in our factory, and the monthly salary alone is almost 10,000 yuan."

"Not to mention long-term considerations, even if we calculate it by the end of next year, it will still be still There are 14 months’ salary to be paid, which is 140,000 yuan.”

“The factory will also introduce a new product. At that time, it will definitely have to introduce some new equipment and find a supporting factory to open the mold. Making new parts."

"The purchase of new equipment and new testing instruments alone may cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, or even more."

"As for new ones. I think the product development and production preparation funds will cost at least several hundred thousand yuan.”

"Based on this calculation, it is estimated that the factory will need nearly 1 million yuan of funds to fully revitalize it."

"With our continuous losses, it is estimated that no bank will lend us money, right?"

Hou Guoming knew that Jiang Hui was planning to establish a joint venture, but before he formally brought up the topic, he had to break everyone's other illusions.

Otherwise, everyone may not be able to agree on the establishment of a joint venture by then.

Although Jiang Hui is the director of the factory, it is difficult to have his own way if there are too many people below who oppose it.

Especially when you are just starting out, it is easy to leave a bad reputation.

“Banks are unwilling to lend us money, and the First Machinery Department certainly does not have so much funds to allocate to us.”

“I heard that the SAIC project is difficult to fund. It is possible that it will be cancelled. "

"In this case, how can we still have funds for our factory?"

Chen Chenxing also stood up and expressed his opinion at this time.

"Or should all employees contribute a sum of money and the factory borrows it from everyone?"

"After the difficulty is over, the money and interest will be returned to everyone?"

Hou Guoming deliberately proposed a plan that was impossible for everyone to accept, first to eliminate the possibility of everyone opposing the joint venture later.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Zifu said immediately: "Director, Director Hou, the factory has been very difficult in the past few years, and few of the workers are relatively well-off. I don’t think it’s feasible to borrow money from everyone.”

Not to mention others, even Li Zifu himself is not willing to lend money to the factory.

Others are paid to go to work, but if they have to pay to go to work, what does that mean?

So he could imagine that after this plan was introduced, it would definitely be resisted by many people and even cause trouble.

“It is estimated that this plan will be difficult to implement and will be easily criticized.”

Finance Minister Lin Ying also does not support this option.

No one has extra money these days.

Especially families with wives and children almost always have little money to spare.

Even if you have it, you are reluctant to spend it.

“If there is no money, then the situation of the factory will fall into a vicious circle, and the future development prospects will be relatively pessimistic.”

Hou Guoming said with a deliberate frown.

The others also looked a little sad after hearing this.

"Director, I have a friend who works in the capital airline catering. The original operation of their factory was very average and even suffered losses."

"But after cooperating with the company in the port city this year, the situation has changed. It will be different immediately.”

“The other party brought funds and advanced equipment, and even the chef was brought over from Hong Kong City.”

“Now one. A month’s salary is said to be equivalent to several months’ salary of many factory workers.”

When Chen Chenxing said this, everyone’s eyes lit up.

If he had mentioned this from the beginning, everyone would probably be worried a lot.

But even the plan to raise funds has come out, and the joint venture does not seem to have such a big impact.

Especially since I heard that wages and benefits have improved after the joint venture, it is even more worth looking forward to.

“I have also heard about this. Capital Airlines Catering has indeed cooperated with a company in the port city, and its performance seems to have become very good all of a sudden.”

Li Zifu, as Chaoyang Motorcycle The deputy director of the manufacturing plant is naturally very concerned about many things happening outside.

In particular, the capital's airline food produces a variety of delicacies, which is more likely to arouse heated discussions among the people.

It is rumored that the bread they make is very delicious, and many foreign-related restaurants in the capital order bread from them.

“Capital Air Catering specializes in providing meals to airlines, and it has fixed customers.”

“So the performance has changed quickly after the joint venture, and we can find suitable joint venture partners.”

“But the situation of our factory is more complicated than theirs. Will any companies from Hong Kong or foreign countries be interested?”

Chang Hongjian's question can be regarded as asking the thoughts of many people.

The joint venture seems to be a good choice, at least for the current Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.

But there must be someone who appreciates it.

"Factory Director, you have visited the United States before and have met some foreign friends. Do you know any foreign companies that are interested in investing in our factory?"

Hou Guoming said this As soon as they said it, both Li Zifu and Chang Hongjian began to realize something.

Is it possible that the new factory director has already found a joint venture partner, and this time he is here for the joint venture factory?

If this is really the case, then it seems possible to achieve the various goals after the factory reform?

However, when a joint venture partner is introduced, the situation will become complicated.

It seems that this kind of thing is not something they can participate in.

“I’ll try to contact you.”

Jiang Hui didn't say much, only said that he would push forward.

"Director Hou, isn't your brother in Hong Kong City? Can you ask him to help see if any companies in Hong Kong City are interested?"

Chen Chenxing also intervened.

In this regard, Hou Guoming naturally said that he would work hard.

Slowly, the current management of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory has acquiesced in the joint venture.

If anyone objects, then come up with a better plan.

"Director Hou, please discuss with the Finance Department and other departments to see how much funds are needed in the factory to introduce a new product. Then I will report to the First Machinery Department to introduce foreign companies. It’s a joint venture.”

Although I am the director of the factory, the factory still belongs to the state.

For a joint venture, it must be approved by the First Machinery Department.

And this is also considered the first joint venture company under the Automobile Bureau of the Ministry of Machinery and Industry, so it will definitely take time to discuss it.

Report it in advance now, and when the company established in the port city officially arranges for people to come over to contact you, things will go much faster.

......

"Jiang Hui, was it okay to go to the factory today?"

As soon as Jiang Hui got home that night, Zhu Lin began to care about today's events. Condition.

Although she also supported Jiang Hui in contracting the factory, this was the first time this happened.

No one knows how the situation will develop.

“Everything is going smoothly. There is a leader from the Machinery Department in charge, and no one dares to jump out and cause trouble.”

“Besides, the factory has been losing money for three consecutive years, and everyone wants to change their minds. They are also different from workers in other factories. "Contracting a factory that is operating at a loss has its disadvantages, and naturally it also has its advantages.

Especially for Jiang Hui, the fact that the people in the factory don't bother is more important than the current profit.

Besides, the sharper the contrast between before and after, the more powerful you become.

"That's good, but if the establishment of a joint venture is brought up, there will probably be more people who oppose it, right?"

Zhu Lin knew that he would soon have something in his name There is a new company in Hong Kong City and it is about cooperating with Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.

She was worried that this matter would eventually go wrong.

After all, although joint ventures already exist in China, they are definitely considered rare and many people have not been exposed to them yet.

"This matter was formally discussed today, and no one objected."

Jiang Hui briefly told Zhu Lin about the situation of today's meeting, so that she could put down her worries.

"It seems that you arranged Hou Guoming and Chen Chenxing into the factory, and the effect is very obvious."

Zhu Lin is not stupid. After listening to Jiang Hui, he knew that Chaoyang Motorcycle Why does the management of the manufacturing plant support the joint venture?

After the joint venture, wages can increase.

If there is no joint venture, either consider raising funds or go to superiors to ask for fees.

The latter is obviously not that easy to do.

In this case, it is better to try a joint venture.

“Two people are still not enough. Let’s see if we can arrange for a few more people to go to the factory later.”

As a leader, the most important task is to manage people well.

Compared with people who are not familiar with each other, it is definitely better to manage people who you know better and know better how to arrange things.

“When the situation of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory improves, more people will be willing to go.”

Zhu Lin knew that there was nothing he could do to help in this matter. A lot, so I can only comfort Jiang Hui first.

While the two of them were discussing the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, many people were also discussing things at home.

“Dad, Xiaofang’s family doesn’t agree with us being together.”

Li Xuewen is the chief of the personnel department of Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant. His rank is not high, but it is not low either.

Normally speaking, his income level is relatively high in this era.

But I can’t handle having so many children at home.

The key is that the boss, who has just returned from going to the countryside, missed the opportunity to recruit workers in the factory and has not yet arranged a job.

For those who do not have a job, they are definitely at a disadvantage in the marriage market.

Even if your family situation is good, others will look down on you.

Unlike later generations, as long as your family conditions are good, you will have no problem eating your old age every day.

“Why?”

Li Xuewen frowned, a little sad.

My eldest son is the most sensible. He has been doing a lot of things like looking after his younger brothers and sisters since he was a child.

At that time, educated young people went to the mountains and countryside, and he was among the first group.

Now I am in my twenties, but I can’t even find a job.

No wonder Xiaofang, a middle school classmate, did not agree with their marriage.

“Why else?”

“I think I have no job!”

Hearing what his eldest son said, Li Xuewen felt very uncomfortable.

“We will buy nothing for the wedding. Xiaofang will not let her suffer when she comes to our house.”

“It’s useless, Xiaofang’s mother said so , Unless I have a job, she will never agree to this marriage!"

Li Xuewen:...

That night, Li Xuewen tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep.

"The boss's marriage cannot be delayed, otherwise it will be even more troublesome in the future."

"I will go to the factory to apply for retirement tomorrow and let the boss take over my shift."

Although I am only a few years old. He was only in his early forties, a time when he was in the prime of life.

But for the sake of his son, Li Xuewen had no better choice.

“Even if you ask the boss to take over, he can only enter the personnel department as an ordinary employee, and it is impossible for him to take over your position as section chief.”

"When the salary is not as high as yours, doesn't it mean that our family's income has dropped?"

After hearing this, Li Xuewen's wife was very confused.

The son's job is naturally very important, but the family's income is equally important.

When you are not a family, you don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and none of your children are married yet.

Two of them are still in school.

In this case, if the family's income drops significantly, then the standard of living will directly drop significantly.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Xiaofang's family will definitely have no objection to letting the boss join the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant."

"I will find a job then. ”

Li Xuewen quickly thought about what he should do.

“Looking for a job? In this current situation, how can it be so easy to find a job?”

"If you really can find it, just ask the boss to find it yourself."

Hearing what his wife said, Li Xuewen was a little undecided at first, but now he immediately had an idea and said: "Do you still remember Jiang from our factory? Hui? He has now contracted the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory and brought two team leaders from our R&D center with him."

"I am going to go to the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory to see him. It doesn't matter if he is willing to let me work there, even if the salary is lower."

Hou Guoming and Chen Chenxing gave up their jobs at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory and chose to go to Chaoyang Motorcycle with Jiang Hui. Manufacturing factory, this incident caused quite a stir in the factory.

Li Xuewen, as the head of the Personnel Department, naturally knows it very well.

And he also knew that if he chose to go to the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, he could retain his position at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory and come back at any time in the future.

But neither Hou Guoming nor Chen Chenxing had any reservations, which showed that the other party believed that he could live a better life after going to Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory than now.

Although Li Xuewen didn’t know where their confidence came from.

But considering Jiang Hui's excellent performance in the past, he felt that he could take a risk.

The most important thing is that he has no better choice.

"I've heard you say this too, but Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory was in a very bad situation in the past. After you follow through, can things get better?"

"Who knows, it's an opportunity after all. . ”

In the end, the couple finally reached a consensus.

Of course, they didn’t tell their eldest son until the matter was completely settled.

Lest people’s joy be in vain.

The next day, Jiang Hui combined some information compiled by Hou Guoming and others and went directly to the First Machinery Department to discuss the joint venture with Qin Hao.

"Xiao Jiang, you have just taken office on your second day, and you are going to make such a big move?"

Qin Hao naturally knows the current situation of the joint venture.

When General Motors came to negotiate before, the topic of joint ventures was mentioned.

Although there are already other precedents, there are still a lot of troubles involved in establishing a joint venture.

The most important thing is, is anyone willing to enter into a joint venture with such a poorly run factory?

Qin Hao found it a bit difficult.

"There is no way. To bring Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory back to life, a lot of funds are needed."

"It is impossible for the Ministry to have such financial support. Our factory cannot handle it ourselves. Then we can only consider attracting foreign investment. "

" Bureau Qin, I am going to give up 49% of the shares to cooperate with others in exchange for the funds we need. "

When Jiang Hui said this, Qin Hao immediately retorted: "According to your statement, the funding gap this time has reached 1 million yuan. It would even be better if we could attract more funds."

"You If you exchange 49% of your shares for this investment, wouldn’t it be equivalent to the value of your factory being 2 million, or even higher?”

“Just sell your old equipment to others for 200,000?” I guess no one wants the factory, right?”

“As for the workers, they are not worth mentioning. They are completely a burden.”

Qin Hao obviously doesn’t think highly of Jiang Hui. This plan.

What is the investment value of an inconspicuous motorcycle manufacturer?
