Chapter 111: Heart to Heart
Although Zhang Lisheng and other members of the preparatory team arrived in Donghua today, they had agreed to rent a small building on the north side of Nanyuan Hotel as a temporary office space before coming here, and rented three cars from Nanyuan Hotel for temporary use.
After using the banquet, Sun Yalin stayed at Zhuxi Hotel, and Zhang Lisheng was sent back to the city by a driver; Yang Haipeng now has many social engagements and is difficult to control drinking, so he also has a full-time driver and takes Zhao Dong back to the city.
Chen Huai waited for Chen Dan to rest before driving to the hospital to pick up Xiao Li back; Xiao Li took the bus to visit Kou Jing after school and was always with him. Yang Chengming, Kou Jing's injury had stabilized and was about to be transferred to the town health center for further maintenance after observation for another two days.
When I drove back to Meixi Town, I saw a car parked at the entrance of the alley. I only saw that it was Chu Yiliang's Nissan when I got close.
Chen Huai turned the car into the alley, Chen Dan and Xiao Li got out of the car and went back to their house first, and Chu Yiliang's car followed in from behind, as if he was intentionally not to directly break through Chen Huai and Chen Dan's affair...
Chen Huai opened the car door, watched Chu Yiliang get out of the car and walk over, and said with a smile: "Chu hasn't drunk enough, and he hasn't even been chatting. He doesn't go back to sleep in the middle of the night?"
"Leaving Zhuxi Hotel, I think there is still work to report to Secretary Chen." Chu Yiliang said with a smile.
"Come in and sit there, but there is no tea in my room. Mr. Chu, don't dislike it." Chen Huai said, wondering if Chen Dan would be embarrassed to bring hot water, otherwise there would be no way to make tea.
Chen Huai took out the key and went to open the door. Seeing Chu Qiang then got out of the car, opened the trunk and was about to come over with two boxes of Wuliangye. Chen Huai stopped and said to Chu Yiliang: "Xiao Chu is working under my hands, so I won't tell any empty words to Mr. Chu. If you come in empty hands, I will be a friend who can talk to you. If you feel embarrassed to enter my house with empty hands, then everyone will go back to bed, it's so late..."
Chu Yiliang smiled awkwardly and signaled his son Chu Qiang to put the things back into the trunk of the car.
Chen Huai turned on the light and turned on the heater, and the air in the house was not so cold. In addition to two single sofas, he dragged a chair and asked Chu Qiang to sit down.
"I have only been working in Meixi Town for three months, but before I came here, I had some understanding of the situation in Meixi Town," Chen Huai Fenyan pointed it out to Chu Yiqiang, saying, "Whether it is contracted or opened a private factory, the operation of the blanket factory in Meixi Town cannot be said to be the best, and Mr. Chu, you cannot be said to be the one who makes the most money. On the weaving and dyeing factory, I have considered taking back the contract rights; and Blanket Factory, I hope Mr. Chu, you can become bigger and stronger. Why is it? I think Mr. Chu is clear in his heart..."
Chu Yiliang nodded, but did not respond.
Chen Huai will be the secretary of the new town party committee. He is not satisfied with the weaving and dyeing factory. Whether behind the scenes or in person, he should teach two lessons.
Zhu Yiliang cannot just talk about other people’s bad things behind his back.
"Whether it's business or an official, you have to have a bottom line in doing things," Chen Huai said. "I have asked Xiao Chu to inform the people about the issue of the weaving and dyeing factory discharged sewage to the Tongtang River. If there is no rectification during the Spring Festival, I will ask for the contracting rights of the weaving and dyeing factory to be recovered. The town cannot turn the entire Tongtang River into a black ditch for the contract fee of hundreds of thousands of yuan per year. I heard that Mr. Chu paid out his own pocket two years ago to build a sewage treatment pool for the blanket factory. I think this will make Mr. Chu more vision than others..."
Zhu Yiliang did not expect that before he gave a penny of gift, Chen Huai looked at the advantages of running a blanket factory.
Chu Yiliang couldn't see what Chen Huai's personality was hidden under his official power, but he was moved when he heard Chen Huai say this late at night and said, "I just don't want the villagers to stumble on the back and scold him..."
"In addition to this, employees' welfare is paid according to the rules. They are not comparable to Mr. Chu in Meixi Town," said Chen Huai. "Before I came to Meixi Town, I heard that Mr. Chu was a little unintentional: instead of giving the money to the country, it would be better to take out some money and make more friends with taxes, industry and commerce and government officials. I also know that Mr. Chu is not so popular with other private bosses in Meixi Town, because Mr. Chu pays enough taxes, and compared with Mr. Chu, it will be more difficult for others to leak. Before I came to Meixi Town, when I heard these things, I felt that Mr. Chu is a truly visionary entrepreneur. If the government wants to expand taxes, it also needs to vigorously support entrepreneurs like Mr. Chu to develop the local economy..."
In China, private enterprise bosses are always down in front of government officials, even a small clerk can give you a look. Chu Yiliang has been in business for more than ten years and has suffered a lot in this. This is also the main reason why he is very righteous and is always careful in front of officials and let his son Chu Qiang work in the government agency.
Zhu Yiliang didn't know what to say for a moment. In the past, he thought that Chen Huai was young and powerful, but after arriving in Meixi Town, he should be an arrogant and arrogant young official. Moreover, Chen Huai had a strong backstage, had real talents, and was indeed qualified to be arrogant and arrogant.
Chu Yiliang had spent a lot of thought to get closer to Chen Huai before, and then suddenly realized that maybe he was too cautious and delayed the time he heard Chen Huai say this.
Although Chen Huai is only two or three years stronger than his son Chu, and is about twenty years younger than himself, Chu Yiliang stood in front of Shen Huai and had no psychological advantage in age at all. The maturity and heart-to-heart show by Chen Huai can completely touch his heart.
"Secretary Chen's words of excessive praise just made me feel ashamed." Chu Yiliang said.
"I think I've already said everything. Mr. Chu was guarding the entrance of the alley in the middle of the night. I really have any work to summarize. I guess he can tell you all, right?" Chen Huai smiled. Zhu Yiliang's secular and smartness are just like other private enterprise bosses, and even more sleek, but he has a bottom line in doing things and is much more upright than others. He throws his son to government agencies and leaves production and market management to those with experience and ability to take responsibility. He has a vision and more sensible business than others.
Even if the gift was not delivered, with Chen Huai's previous words, Chu Yiliang didn't have much concern and said, "I'm still working in the blanket factory when I report to Secretary Chen..."
"You said..." Chen Huai changed into a cigarette, and he said this in his heart, hoping that Feng Yiliang could pour out the words out of his heart.
Chen Huai is confident and capable, and he also believes that Zhu Yiliang is capable. Two capable people, guard against each other and test carefully, can only play a role of one plus one less than two, rather than more than two. This is not the situation Chen Huai hopes to see.
Therefore, Chen Huai has been looking forward to having an in-depth conversation with Zhu Yiliang and a chance to have a heart-to-heart talk. Before, he was just the deputy secretary and there would be no chance. Today, Zhu Yiliang bumped into him, so Chen Huai didn't want to delay the opportunity anymore.
"Before I contracted the blanket factory's machinery and equipment, it was replaced in 1984, but it was not the best at that time. By this year, these equipment could still operate, but compared with other factories, it was much behind, which greatly affected efficiency. In addition, the domestic wool prices fluctuated greatly, and the goat wool resources in Donghua City were not sufficient, and dozens of factories were competing for it. If our factory wants to further develop the blanket weaving, it was greatly restricted. In some big cities and abroad, cotton textiles were very popular. I thought that if the factory wanted to expand production, I could try to start from this..." Jun Yiliang said his thoughts.
Chen Huai nodded and said, "Mr. Chu has a very keen market vision. My view on the prospects of the blanket factory is the same as Mr. Chu. I know that Mr. Chu wants to invest money to update equipment and to start and modify new products, but the blanket factory only has two years of contracting rights. Even if the contract contract is re-signed, it will be signed every five years. Chu is worried that once the contract rights are changed, the funds invested in the facilities will be wasted?"
"Hey!" At this time, Chu Yiliang really felt a sense of radiance and comfort when talking to Chen Huai, and he also truly realized that Chen Huai really had extraordinary knowledge and ability. It was not a lucky chance to be able to rectify the steel plant. He thought that the so-called meeting of confidants in ancient times was probably the same. Of course, Chu Yiliang also considered each other's identity and status and suppressed his excitement and said, "I really admire Secretary Chen. I do have this worry."
"This is a disadvantage of the current contract management system," Chen Huai said. "It is precisely because of the contractor's concern that the contracted factories are seriously restricted in production upgrading and expansion, and local economic development is suppressed. On the other hand, the contractor is more willing to use factory facilities consumingly during the contract period, which is actually unnecessary losses from the state and collective... Mr. Chu, since you are here, you must have considered the problem of the blanket factory. Speaking of it, the town will seriously consider it."
"Just as for the blanket factory, I hoped to sign a longer-term contract, ten or fifteen years," Chu Yiliang said. "Today I heard Secretary Chen chat with President Zhang of Yexin Bank, and I was inspired. According to the real assets, I personally invested in buying the blanket factory. I wonder if the town will consider my plan?"
"The asset office calculates the total asset value of the blanket factory is four million," Chen Huai asked. "President Zhu, you took out four million to the town. How much money do you have to invest in production?"
The threshold for private enterprise loans in 1993 was extremely high, and it did not mean that funds could be borrowed with assets as collateral. As for the overall economic policy of the country, it also insisted on developing with the whole people and collective economies as the core. The phrase "private economy as a supplement" will take several years to be included in the overall economic development policy.
In addition, banks also have different interest rates for enterprises of different natures.
Not to mention the gray cost behind it, the official lending rate in 1993 was 10%-16%. As a township enterprise supported by cities and counties, Meixi Steel Plant can obtain preferential interest rates lower than 10% from banks, while the actual interest rate of private enterprises loans from banks is rarely lower than 16%, which is almost between 20-25%. Such a high financing cost is also a bottleneck that restricts the development of the private economy in the early stage.
Chu Yiliang knew that Chen Huai was quite proficient in the economy, so he didn't hide it and said, "There are only less than one or two million left, or he can borrow one or two million from banks and other places..."
Chen Huai nodded. Ju Yiliang was able to save six or seven million yuan in his early years since he started doing business and contracted a blanket factory for three or four years. It was already quite considerable in 1993. After all, the domestic reform and opening up has only been more than ten years.
"I'll tell you a plan, Mr. Chu, please go back and think about it." Chen Huai said.
"Secretary Chen, you said."
"After New Year's Day, the country officially promulgated the Company Law. I wonder if Mr. Chu had seen it." Chen Huai asked.
"I've seen some." said Ju Yiliang.
