Chapter 41: The Considerations Behind
It was quite a long way from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to the municipal government, and it took some time for Wei Yonglin to come. While waiting for Wei Yonglin, Lu Zhenghong started chatting with Zhou Heng.
"Director Zhou, how much loan does Linyiji owe the bank now?" Lu Zhenghong asked.
"It's more than 40 million in total." Zhou Heng replied.
"So many!" Lu Zhenghong pretended to be surprised.
Lu Wei intervened in just the right way and told Lu Zhenghong the situation of Linyi Machinery. Lu Zhenghong expressed his regret repeatedly, and then asked Zhou Heng: "So, what are the plans for Director Zhou after taking over? I don't know much about corporate management, but I also heard that corporate production needs liquidity support. In the current situation of Linyi Machinery, I'm afraid it's very nervous, right?"
"That's true," said Zhou Heng, "This is also something I want to ask Mayor Lu for help. In the next step, we consider expanding our business scope and developing some marketable new products. I'm afraid we need to ask the bank to provide support."
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Lu Zhenghong frowned his eyebrows into a lump.
Lu Wei said: "Director Zhou, as far as I know, the bank's monetary base will only be tighter next year and next than now. If you want to find a bank loan, it will be very difficult. In fact, the municipal government has been helping Yiyi to find a way to solve the problem of fund shortage in the past. Director Zhou has just taken office and may not know much about these situations."
Zhou Heng thought about it and turned his head to look at Tang Zifeng, and found that Tang Zifeng was also giving him a knowing look. Zhou Heng knew it in his mind, and it turned out that the problem was here.
"Secretary Lu, you said that the municipal government has been helping us find solutions in the past, but I don't know what specific solutions are? I just arrived at the Bingyi machine and I really don't know much about these situations." Zhou Heng said.
Lu Wei said: "In fact, Linyi Machinery is a typical beg for begging for rice with a bowl of gold. The existing factory of Linyi Machinery is located in a downtown city. Our municipal government once asked a professional organization to evaluate that the land value of the 1,350 acres of factory area of Linyi Machinery alone is 100 million yuan. If Linyi Machinery is willing to move the factory to the suburbs, it will also purchase 1,350 acres of land, which will not even be used for 20 million yuan. This will add 80 million yuan of working capital, which is enough to complete the production transformation of Linyi Machinery."
“…”
When he heard Lu Wei say this, Fan Caihong on the side couldn't help but want to interrupt. Damn, you are starting the price. When the original leadership team negotiated with the municipal government, the price offered by the municipal government had already refunded to the free allocation of 1,500 acres of land, and at the same time compensated 100 million yuan. You are bullying Lao Zhou for the first time and planning to blackmail the free allocation of land.
Tang Zifeng stopped Fan Caihong with a clear eye and quickly pretended to be happy and said to Zhou Heng: "Director Zhou, there is such a good plan. Why have we never heard of it? If we can get 100 million yuan in funds, at least we don't have to worry about losing money in the next five years when we go to the machine. This is indeed a good idea."
Zhou Heng looked at him with a difficult face and said, "I'm afraid the ministry may not be able to pass this matter."
Tang Zifeng said: "It's up to man. Now I can't even pay the salary when I go to the machine, and the ministry is helpless. If we can propose such a plan, maybe the ministry still thinks it is an innovation."
"I'm afraid this matter will be discussed for a long time."
"That's certainly, but we'd better apply to the department immediately, so that we can leave some time for discussion."
"or……"
Fan Caihong sat next to him, looking at the young and old talking enthusiastically, and couldn't help but be surprised. Please, I told you last week whether this matter is good. Why do you seem to know just now? It would be fine if Tang Zifeng, a gangster, pretending to be stupid. After all, you old Zhou is the factory director. You have been the director of the department for more than 20 years. Why was it that Tang Zifeng ruined it? Or was your Beijinger's tricks that made me, Linhe, unable to understand?
Lu Zhenghong and Lu Wei were secretly happy. The municipal government has been coveting the Linyi Machinery for a long time. It has been negotiating with the former team of Linyi Machinery, but failed to reach an agreement because the other party offered too high a price. This time, I heard that the former team of Linyi Machinery was collectively dismissed, and the department sent a new factory director. Lu Zhenghong and his staff discussed this matter. Some staff members believed that the new team of Linyi Machinery was likely to accept the relocation plan for three reasons:
First, the machine has ended its limits, and there is no other way out except to relocate and sell land;
Second, I heard that the new team of Linyiji is of transitional nature. As long as the profits are turned around, they will be transferred back to the department. As a temporary team, they are more likely to accept this condition of drinking poison to quench thirst;
Third, if the new team does not understand the situation in Linhe, they may not be able to know the true value of the land of Linyiji. The municipal government can easily reach a deal with the other party at a lower price.
This time, the Municipal Industrial and Commercial Branch intercepted the gold car and repaid the payment for the goods to Linyi Machine. In fact, it was the instruction of a staff member under Lu Zhenghong. After Lu Zhenghong learned about this, he adopted a tacit attitude. The staff member believed that only by blocking all the hopes of breaking Linyi Machine could force the new team of Linyi Machine to make a decision to cut off the arm of a hero. If Linyi Machine gets the 1 million yuan payment and takes a breath, so that the new team has time to fully understand the situation, the municipal government will force Linyi Machine to submit, and the difficulty will be increased.
If the original team of Linyiji was replaced by Linyiji, the city would not do this easily. Because the original team had a close relationship with Linhe City and Dongye Province, there were countless channels to put pressure on the Industrial and Commercial Branch. A subordinate enterprise was a giant, and even if it was burdened with debt, it still had considerable energy. Lu Zhenghong had to consider it again and again if he wanted to take action against Linyiji.
Now that Linyiji has changed a new team, Lu Zhenghong has no idea about this new team. This move also has the meaning of "testing", that is, to test Zhou Heng's ability and attitude through a small event to determine the future cooperation model with Linyiji.
Now it seems that Zhou Heng and the assistant director of the factory, named Tang Zifeng, seemed to be really impressed by the city government's plan. They knew nothing about the land value of Linyi Machinery, and they didn't seem to care about its real value. Tang Zifeng said it very clearly. He only cared about Linyi Machinery's money and would not be short of money for him in the next five years. As for five years, he had already been transferred back to the capital to be promoted. What does Linyi Machinery's life or death have to do with him?
Haha, if this is the case, then you might as well give them a face, let the Industrial and Commercial Branch relax and intercept less of their payment for goods. As for giving them back 1 million, it is impossible, and they have to be uncomfortable, otherwise how could they compromise?
Just as he thought of this, a staff member outside the door reported that Wei Yonglin, the president of the Industrial and Commercial Branch, had arrived. Lu Zhenghong ordered him to be brought in, and then introduced him and Zhou Heng and others to each other.
"It turns out it's Director Zhou, I'll be lucky!" Wei Yonglin was quite polite, holding Zhou Heng's hand and greeting him repeatedly, while the bucket waist was slightly bent, showing a humble look. The leader of Linyiji still has some status in Linhe City, and Wei Yonglin dared not look too rebellious in front of Zhou Heng.
When it came to shake hands with Tang Zifeng, Wei Yonglin's attitude became much more awesome. After shaking his hand, he patted Tang Zifeng on the shoulder and said, "Young and promising", as if he was a superior.
As for seeing Fan Caihong, Wei Yonglin tended to become a strange uncle. He held Fan Caihong's little hand for a long time and enthusiastically invited Fan Caihong to come to him for more time. He just asked someone to get a few top-quality goldfish...
After this greeting, everyone sat down separately, and Lu Zhenghong took the lead in talking about the main topic. He told Wei Yonglin about Zhou Heng's request, and on behalf of the municipal government, he expressed his intention to actively support the loss-making enterprises and hoped that the banks would cooperate. After all, he changed his mind and said that the government could not interfere in financial work. After all, austerity of money is the established policy of the central government, and the final decision of this matter should be made by the bank.
"Our bank must strictly follow the instructions of Mayor Lu." Wei Yonglin first expressed his loyalty, and then made a turning point as expected:
"However, the head office has never had any strict requirements for us this year. The loan amount has been reduced by more than half. The loans issued in the past must be recovered on schedule. We are under great pressure. Mr. Ning, who was on the first round this morning, went to me and I have already introduced this situation to her. It is not that we do not support the operation of the company, but that the national policy has requirements. As a municipal branch, we cannot work against the national policies."
When he said this, his eyes kept glanced at Lu Zhenghong's face, hoping to get some hints from Lu Zhenghong. Lu Zhenghong's face was expressionless, his eyes were looking at his nose and his nose were in a sign of becoming an immortal. He believed that Wei Yonglin could grasp the right measure. He only needed to come out to smooth things out when the two sides could not reach a consensus, so as to give Zhou Heng a face and maintain the pressure on the next opportunity.
Zhou Heng was already mentally prepared for Wei Yonglin's attitude, and he said:
"Governor Wei, we, President Ning, have reported to me about the difficulties of the bank today. The country has a requirement to tighten the money supply, and we can understand the responsibility of President Wei. However, I believe President Wei is very clear about the situation at the moment. The factory has not paid wages for several months, and the original leadership team has been collectively dismantled, which has caused the cadres and workers in the factory to be disturbed.
