Chapter 299 Reminder
Song Yuanchao had actually anticipated what Zhang Jianguo wanted to talk to him about. The changes in Tengfei Factory would inevitably affect the team. When discussing with Li Daqi, Song Yuanchao reminded Li Daqi to communicate with Zhang Jianguo in advance, especially to discuss how to separate the team and Tengfei Factory before making a decision.
After all, the team is now affiliated with Tengfei Factory, and nominally it is also part of Tengfei Factory. However, the team is different from the factory. The team's own funds and business are completely independent, so it is relatively easy to separate the team from Tengfei Factory.
Compared with the fleet, Tengfei Factory does not have this advantage.
You should know that the initial start-up capital of Tengfei Factory came from the school-run factory, and the old employees in the factory including Li Daqi, Xiaoqi and others also transferred from the school-run factory to Tengfei Factory. From this point of view, it is destined that Tengfei Factory has an intricate and inseparable relationship with the school-run factory in terms of original funding sources and personnel relations.
From this point of view, Tengfei Factory is going to be transformed from a collective to a state-owned enterprise. Although Li Daqi's opinion is important, from the perspective of the essence of the enterprise, if the higher authorities are really determined to intervene, the account will not be settled at all. This is also the main reason why Song Yuanchao advised Li Daqi to make a drastic decision and get out of it directly, and use this incident to take back the Li family's house.
"Did Daqi tell you everything?" Song Yuanchao asked.
"He told me to re-register the fleet immediately and separate it from the factory directly. And this matter needs to be done quickly, preferably within these few days, and after it's done, the factory will..." Zhang Jianguo said this, with a somewhat gloomy look on his face. Although he did not work in the Tengfei Factory, because of the connection between the fleet and the factory, and the fact that their offices were so close to each other in the past, he already had some feelings for the Tengfei Factory from the bottom of his heart.
He had seen the rapid development of Tengfei Factory over the past year, but now Li Daqi wanted to hand over the factory, which made him feel a little bit unacceptable. In his opinion, this was simply nonsense. For a good factory, what difference did it make whether it was collective or state-owned? It was nothing more than jealous of the popularity of Tengfei Factory, and used this as an excuse to drive Li Daqi away and put this piece of fat meat into his own pocket.
Zhang Jianguo is not Li Daqi. He has worked in state-owned enterprises for many years and was once a driver in a small car team. He knows a lot about the dark side that the sun never shines on. Although Li Daqi didn't elaborate on some details when he talked to Zhang Jianguo about this, Zhang Jianguo already knew what was going on and was very angry about it.
"The fleet is easy to handle. It was contracted from the beginning, with formal contracts, and the ownership of the vehicles is also under the name of individuals." Song Yuanchao nodded and said, "But this matter should be done as soon as possible, the sooner the better. At present, it is not difficult for the fleet to register as a collective enterprise. Uncle, you have to be careful with the subsequent operations, and don't leave any handles for people to catch."
Zhang Jianguo nodded. Although Song Yuanchao did not directly answer his previous question, his words had already shown that the future trend of Tengfei Factory was irreversible.
"Alas, such a good factory, who knows what will happen after the leadership is changed. If it is replaced by someone who can't work and can only play tricks, I'm afraid in the future..." Zhang Jianguo couldn't help shaking his head.
"This kind of thing is inevitable. It will happen sooner or later. It's not a bad thing if it happens now. It's better than having this kind of problem when Tengfei Factory grows to a larger scale in the future." Although Song Yuanchao felt a little sorry for the outcome of Tengfei Factory, he was much calmer than Zhang Jianguo and the others.
After the reform and opening up, due to policy and historical reasons, such things are indeed not uncommon, especially after those state-owned or collective enterprises have rapidly developed to a certain scale under the leadership of the boss, many problems of one kind or another have emerged.
In fact, the reason is very simple. For example, an outstanding entrepreneur takes over a company that is almost bankrupt, and then works hard to revive the company. He spends several years or even more than ten or twenty years working hard to grow the company from small to large, and eventually becomes a leader in the industry.
When an enterprise grows to this scale, and the annual benefits it obtains and the taxes and profits it pays are in the millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, as a manager of the enterprise, no matter how pure your original intentions are, what will the entrepreneur himself think when faced with the current situation?
In other words, this enterprise is built entirely by his own outstanding ability, vision and hard work. As the soul of the enterprise, without him, there would be no development and current scale of the enterprise. He controls the direction and decision-making of the enterprise, but in terms of the property rights of the enterprise, the enterprise does not belong to him. Whether it is state-owned or collective, the entrepreneur is just a manager, who only gets a meager salary every month, plus some bonuses at best.
The total amount of money is certainly much more than that of ordinary employees, but it is a very small part compared to the huge profits created by the company. In this case, who can be psychologically balanced?
Come to think of it, they generate hundreds of millions of profits a year, but only receive tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars in salary and bonus each year. Compared with those foreign and private enterprise owners, the gap is really too big.
When people have this idea, they will naturally feel strong dissatisfaction and do things that are sympathetic in theory but absolutely illegal in law.
From the mid-to-late 1980s to the entire 1990s, many famous entrepreneurs fell from power for this reason. The most representative of them was Lao Chu, who was known as the Tobacco King.
Lao Chu's downfall is a tragedy of the times and the starting point of an industry king's rise from glory to fall. Although he himself had many problems in this matter, from the perspective of historical reasons for corporate property rights and unreasonable distribution of benefits, it was also one of the main reasons that prompted him to take this path.
Song Yuanchao understood this very well, and it was for this reason that Song Yuanchao advised Li Daqi to give up Tengfei Factory directly.
Although it was a pity to give up the Tengfei Factory, after all, this factory was entrusted with Li Daqi's hard work, and it was Li Daqi who built it and developed it to its current scale. But even so, what? From the nature of the enterprise, this factory is inherently flawed. Even if there is an opportunity to restructure the enterprise in the future, it will cause big trouble if it is not careful.
In addition, Song Yuanchao reminded Li Daqi at the beginning about the operation and sales of the factory. Many important sales channels were in their own hands, and everything from product licensing to export business was controlled by Xiangjiang Shenghua Company. Most of the profits were directly intercepted by outsiders instead of remaining in the Tengfei Factory account.
From this point of , Song Yuanchao and his team did not suffer any loss in the process of relying on the development of Tengfei Factory. They made a lot of profits in less than two years, and the amount of profits has far exceeded that of Tengfei Factory itself.
"It seems that this is the only way..." Zhang Jianguo sighed. This matter was not something he could decide. Song Yuanchao was right. A blessing in disguise. Besides, a short pain is worse than a long one. Giving up Tengfei Factory now might not be a bad thing. If he insisted, it would bring trouble to Li Daqi.
Just like himself, he criticized the relatives of the factory leader just because of work, and then he was bullied and directly demoted from the small car team to the workshop as a front-line worker. If it weren't for Song Yuanchao's help and advice, Zhang Jianguo might be sweating in the workshop wearing work clothes now, working hard for a month and only earning a few dozen yuan in salary. How could he have such an income today?
"Okay, I'll find someone to do it tomorrow, so that we won't be in a rush and won't be able to handle it in time." Nodding, Zhang Jianguo stood up and said that this matter had to be done immediately and must be completed before the new leader arrives.
"By the way, uncle, I have something to tell you." Seeing Zhang Jianguo preparing to go downstairs, Song Yuanchao stopped him.
Stopping and looking back, Zhang Jianguo showed a questioning look.
"You know I bought a house, right?"
"I know. I was the one who accompanied Daqi to handle the formalities that day." Zhang Jianguo nodded.
"It's like this. After the matter at Tengfei Factory is settled, I plan to let Daqi go to Pengcheng. The new factory in Pengcheng has been built. I have been contacting people to redesign the house and prepare the subsequent construction plan. I originally wanted Daqi to help me look after the construction, but now..."
Before Song Yuanchao could finish his words, Zhang Jianguo understood what he meant and said with a smile, "I see. You want to be the supervisor? Leave it to me. I'll take care of it after the fleet is re-registered. I promise to do a great job for you."
"Thank you, uncle."
"Why thank me for such a small thing? My family members are talking about this." Zhang Jianguo waved his hand and said with a smile.
"In a few days, I will meet with Professor Pan from Tongji University. By the way, it is Professor Pan who I am entrusting. He is a friend of one of my teachers and was recommended to me by my teacher." Song Yuanchao explained first, and then said, "Professor Pan is making preparations now. I will go to see the site in a few days. When the preparations are completed, I will ask you to meet with me. We can have a detailed discussion about how to repair it later, the interior decoration and furniture, etc. It will also facilitate communication between you when I am away."
Zhang Jianguo nodded: "Let's arrange it this way. Let me know when the time is right. I'll go with you then."
"By the way, uncle, have you ever considered buying a house? Haozi and Xiao Pingping are growing up, and our house is not big to begin with. It's crowded for your family of five, and I'm afraid it will be even more crowded when the children grow up. You have money now, so why not find a better house and buy one?"
"This..." Zhang Jianguo thought about it. He had never really considered buying a house. After all, very few people bought houses in this era. There were only two ways to improve their conditions. One was to get a house from the company, and the other was to go to the door of the Housing Authority and write a sign and wait for people to come and exchange houses.
Zhang Jianguo didn't need to think about the former. If he was still a driver in the small car team of his original unit, maybe this was possible. Now Zhang Jianguo had already applied for unpaid leave. Now his own fleet is booming, so he can't go back to his old unit, right?
Besides, even if Zhang Jianguo returned to his old unit, he couldn't go back to the car team, and could only work in the workshop. There were many colleagues in the unit who had difficulty finding accommodation at home. Based on seniority, plus his status as an ordinary worker in the workshop, who knows when it would be his turn. In addition, he had already offended the factory leaders and their relatives. If he returned, he would be fine if he didn't make trouble for them every day, but as for housing? Don't even think about it.
Zhang Jianguo did not consider changing houses. Why should he change houses when he lived well here? Even if he wanted to change houses to a bigger one, he could only move to a house across the river or near the suburbs. In this way, although the house was bigger, it would be inconvenient to live in, especially for the children, who would have to change schools. The current school was a good school in the city center. How could he move his children to the suburbs?
After careful consideration, Song Yuanchao's suggestion was not bad. He had seen the house that Song Yuanchao bought. It was an old villa in the French Concession, which was inhabited by people of status in the past. Ordinary people would never have even thought about buying such a house.
Now that Song Yuanchao has bought that house, maybe I can also look for a house near his. Even if it is not as good and big as Song Yuanchao's house, at least I can get one that is no different from the one I live in now.
Moreover, with the house in hand, it will be needed for Xiao Haozi to get married and start a family when he grows up. In the past, the Zhang family relied on him alone to support the family. His wife did not earn much in a month working in the street, and she had no money at all.
But things are different now. I estimate that I earn more than 200,000 yuan a year, and my wife Sun Xia earns about the same amount from her clothing business on Maiyang Road. It is easy to come up with money to buy a house.
