Chapter 317: Anxiety
Lin Yuhang got up and left without saying a word.
"Brother Yuhang, don't go..." Director Chen quickly grabbed him.
"Not leaving? Why not?" Lin Yuhang turned around and asked, "5 million? That's crazy, right? Look at my 100-plus pounds and see if they're worth that much. Or you can find a knife to chop me up and sell me in the market."
"Brother Yuhang, don't be so impatient. I haven't finished what I want to say yet." Director Chen said hurriedly.
"It's useless to talk about this. Are you kidding me? How much is the total annual output value of the Eighth Factory? When we were fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the land, we didn't do it the way you do."
Lin Yuhang was very angry. It was true that Factory No. 8 had made a lot of money from the warm cup packaging. The total gross profit of Factory No. 8 for the entire warm cup packaging product was about 1.8 million. After deducting expenses and losses, the final profit was just over 1.6 million.
But the money had already been put to good use. When Lin Yuhang decided to stop producing warm cup packaging products, he allocated funds to upgrade the production equipment of the eighth factory. He also led the technical department to develop a new product, ginseng royal jelly. In addition to the subsequent raw material procurement, inventory preparation, sales, advertising and other investments, the original 1.6 million yuan was basically spent by Lin Yuhang.
Now, although ginseng royal jelly is selling well in the market and the profits are very lucrative, the new product has not been launched for long after all. The entire Factory 8 has only recovered less than 3 million yuan so far, and these funds still need to be invested in reproduction.
Ginseng royal jelly is different from previous products. Previous products only targeted the Yanjing market, and at most the surrounding areas of Yanjing.
However, ginseng royal jelly, which is used as a health product, faces the national market, and one can imagine how big the national market is.
In order to capture the national market as quickly as possible and maximize profits, what Factory Eight needs now is to increase production for further market promotion. Therefore, Lin Yuhang has already made arrangements for the current profits. This money is used to expand production and not a single cent can be touched.
Now Director Chen asked for 5 million? Not to mention that Factory 8 couldn't come up with 5 million, even if it could, Lin Yuhang wouldn't do it.
With 5 million, how much can the Eighth Factory do? Expand production to occupy the market, thereby obtaining dozens of times the profit. Unless Lin Yuhang is stupid, he will agree to Director Chen's request.
"Brother Yuhang, don't be angry, don't be angry..." Director Chen's expression was also very difficult. When his superiors gave him this task, he knew it was a difficult task. 5 million! Don't even mention whether the Eighth Factory can take out this money. Even if it can, if he is Lin Yuhang, he will not do it.
The 5 million today is not the 5 million in 20 or 30 years. After the 21st century, the purchasing power of money has become lower and lower, but it is different now.
At present, 5 million is definitely a huge sum of money. Calculated based on the wage base and purchasing power, 10 yuan in the early 1980s is roughly equivalent to 1,000 to 1,200 yuan in purchasing power in the early 1920s of the 21st century . Of course, this calculation is not very accurate, but it is roughly the same.
Let's calculate it based on 1,000 yuan, the ratio is one to one hundred, which means that 5 million today has the purchasing power of 500 million in the future. Such a huge sum of money is simply an astronomical figure.
"I'm not angry? How can I not be angry?" Lin Yuhang waved his right hand: "Who came up with this idea? That bastard came up with it on the spur of the moment? Did he drink too much fake wine at night and didn't wake up during the day? Brother Chen, tell me who this guy is, and I'll go talk to him."
As he spoke, Lin Yuhang's face turned red and he looked like he was ready to fight to the death. Director Chen was shocked. Lin Yuhang was really anxious.
Director Chen would naturally not tell Lin Yuhang who came up with this idea. You have to know that Lin Yuhang has been to the battlefield and fought the Japanese devils in the south with real swords and guns. If he really gets angry, something big will happen, and this matter is not Lin Yuhang's fault.
Lin Yuhang has been the director and secretary of the Eighth Factory for only half a year, but in this short period of time, Lin Yuhang has led the Eighth Factory from its original situation to its current state. The entire industry, including everyone in the bureau, knows exactly what the Eighth Factory was like back then. If it weren't for the support from above, the Eighth Factory would have collapsed long ago.
In fact, when Lin Yuhang arrived, Factory No. 8 had almost collapsed. It couldn't even pay the employees' wages and medical expenses. The original factory leaders were eager to leave this place as soon as possible. In everyone's eyes, Factory No. 8 was a quagmire. Once you get in, even if you have great abilities, there is nothing you can do.
But everything changed after Lin Yuhang went to the Eighth Factory. He first used his own channels to get a bank loan, solved the difficulties of salary and medical expenses reimbursement, and stabilized the hearts of all the employees in the factory. Then he took advantage of the policy and cleverly developed a warm cup packaging product, which immediately opened up sales and turned the accumulated inventory into a hot-selling product, thus turning things around.
When the warm cup packaging products were selling well, Factory 8 suddenly stopped selling this product. When Lin Yuhang decided to stop production and sales, he encountered a lot of opposition in the factory. However, with the prestige he had built up and the support of some factory cadres and employees, the decision was still forcibly implemented.
The voluntary withdrawal of Factory 8 made other factories inexplicably excited. Some people even laughed at Lin Yuhang behind his back, saying that he was a fool and that everyone in Factory 8 was short-sighted.
In their opinion, only a fool would suddenly end such a good product. How could they make such a decision? But no one expected that when Factory 8 safely withdrew from the market, other factories would rush in and compete viciously with each other, causing the profits of the good products to plummet.
Not long after that, the higher authorities issued an administrative order, which instantly caused a groan. In this way, all the factories involved, except for the eight factories that withdrew early, were caught in the net, resulting in heavy losses.
At this time, the Eighth Factory, which had long since withdrawn from the warm cup packaging product, suddenly launched a new product - ginseng royal jelly. This product was a huge success as soon as it was launched. Now TV and newspapers are broadcasting (publishing) advertisements every day. When people mention ginseng royal jelly, the first thing they think of is Yanjing Chinese Medicine Factory Eight.
The Eighth Factory is now thriving and is far from the lifeless appearance it had in the past. With the hot sales of the two products of the Eighth Factory, especially the ginseng royal jelly that is now sold all over the country, the products are in short supply every day. The employees of the Eighth Factory have straightened their backs and are proud of their identity as employees of the Eighth Factory when they walk outside.
In addition, the benefits have promoted the income and welfare of employees, which are tangible benefits for everyone. All these are changes brought about by Lin Yuhang. It can be said that if there was no Lin Yuhang, the factory director, the Eighth Factory would definitely not have the good life it has today.
As the director of the management office, Director Chen admires Lin Yuhang from the bottom of his heart. Such a young, promising and capable factory director has a bright future. Perhaps in a few years, Lin Yuhang will have a broader future and space. It is possible that Lin Yuhang will become his boss in ten years.
Lin Yuhang's family background is there, how can you not make friends with such a person, but also make enemies? This is also one of the main reasons why Director Chen was enthusiastic about Lin Yuhang from the beginning.
"Brother Yuhang, don't be anxious. Just listen to me slowly." Pulling Lin Yuhang to stop him from leaving and forcing him to sit on the sofa, Director Chen handed him another cigarette and lit it for him personally, saying earnestly, "This matter is just as you said, brother. To be honest, when I heard this suggestion, I felt sorry for you! What kind of bad idea is this? It's just a stupid idea that was thought up on the spur of the moment!"
Director Chen cursed a few times in response to Lin Yuhang's previous words. Seeing that Lin Yuhang's expression had eased, he continued, "But you also know that some leaders are like this. They have been high above the masses for a long time and are unaware of the sufferings of the world. But then again, since the leader has made a suggestion, we subordinates have to do it anyway, right? We should change the leader's wrong views at work and turn bad things into good things, right?"
"Also, don't blame me for saying something unpleasant, Yuhang. You are still young. Some things are not only matters of principle, but also require a sense of the overall situation. Although the leader's suggestion is a bit excessive, it also takes the overall situation into consideration. From this point of view, it is not completely wrong, right?"
"Now that the Third Factory is in such a mess, it is impossible not to save it. We can't just watch it collapse, right? Huang Baogui is responsible, this is his personal problem, but the employees of the Third Factory are innocent! We can't just watch them suffer and not even have food to eat, right? In addition, the retired employees of the Third Factory are also in the same situation. Brother, you have experienced these things, wasn't it the same for the Eighth Factory? If the Third Factory collapses because of this reason, how can we leaders feel good about it?"
Director Chen's words were not without reason, and Lin Yuhang's anger gradually subsided, but the problem was that he would never pay 5 million. Not to mention that Factory Eight simply could not come up with the money, even if it could, Lin Yuhang would have to think twice.
Although Lin Yuhang did not come from an enterprise, he had been the factory director and secretary for more than half a year. The studious Lin Yuhang had some understanding of the enterprise. In addition, Lin Yan studied economics, so after work, Lin Yuhang took Lin Yan's university textbooks and read them carefully, and learned a lot about economics and enterprises.
Besides, Lin Yuhang is not stupid. Even if Factory 8 has the money, he is willing to support Factory 3. But can he get the money back? It would be strange if he could get it back!
In the eyes of the superiors, the subordinate enterprises are all like brothers, and they are all state-owned enterprises. It is natural to help brothers in need, and the support is naturally free. It is impossible for state-owned enterprises to be divided between you and me, right? Therefore, the money spent is destined to be thrown away like meat buns to dogs, and it is simply a dream to want to get it back.
