Chapter 322: Factory Sale
Han Sishu didn't believe what Hu Qiongfang just said, thinking it was something she came up with herself.
He actually guessed it right.
These words were definitely not thought up by Hu Qiongfang; they were told to her by her beloved daughter.
However, Hu Qiongfang did not intend to let Han Sishu know that these words were told to her by Jiang Tian.
After all, people's minds are like this. Of course, you should teach your daughter to be as smart as possible. It's better for the daughter-in-law who marries from outside to be as dumb as possible, so that she can be easily controlled by her in-laws.
Although the Han family did not have much decision-making power in Han Jisong's marriage, Hu Qiongfang did not want the Han family to label her daughter as "scheming" and "difficult to mess with" now.
So she smiled calmly and agreed.
Han Sishu felt unwell.
Has he really become arrogant in the past two years?
Even a businessman like Hu Qiongfang who had never worked in the system could see the big pit hidden behind this food factory. How could he, who had worked in the system for so many years, almost step into it? !
No! It seems that this cannot be entirely blamed on him. The main reason is that their Shuangfeng Town is too poor. The only major income in the past two years was the demolition payment when the 336 Provincial Road was widened and demolished. In addition to the bonus for participating in the demolition work, he bought a car for the town and renovated the town government building. It seems that there is not much left.
No wonder the whole town wants to take this food factory back.
Even if they take it back and sell it for hundreds of thousands, as Hu Qiongfang said, after deducting the loan to the credit union, the wages owed to the workers, and the payment to the source supplier... Shit! With this calculation, let alone a surplus, they might even have to pay a lot!
Han Sishu took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said to Hu Qiongfang:
"President Hu, what you said is not a trivial matter. So, I will hold a meeting with the town to discuss what to do about this matter."
"Once we have discussed this, I will invite you over then so we can sit down and talk?"
Hu Qiongfang nodded good-temperedly.
Before leaving, he did not forget to remind his future uncle-in-law:
"Then the town must hurry up and hold this meeting."
"I heard that the food factory pays wages on the 25th of every month. Today is the 22nd, and there are still three days left. The workers are clamoring for wages again..."
Han Sishu:!!!
His intuition was right, this food factory was a hot potato.
Hu Qiongfang dropped a bomb and ran away, almost shocking the entire Shuangfeng Town Government.
What's the matter?
Isn’t it said that the old food factory can be sold for at least hundreds of thousands?
How come after Hu Qiongfang's calculations, not only would they not be able to make any money from taking back the food factory, but they would even have to lose money on it?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Han Sishu rubbed his temples and decided to get rid of this blame that might hinder his promotion.
"Everyone, stop arguing. There are only three days left before the next salary payment at the food factory. In my opinion, this matter cannot be delayed any longer!"
"If we delay it any further, for every month we delay, we will have to pay an extra month's salary and owe an extra month's worth of foreign debt and interest."
"How about this, let's end this meeting today. Everyone go back and think about it. We will hold a meeting to vote by secret ballot at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"What? Recorded voting? Why does it have to be recorded?"
"Yes, wasn't voting done by secret ballot before?"
The conference room suddenly became lively.
Han Sishu glanced at the leader, who nodded slightly. He coughed and tapped the table with his notebook.
"Please don't misunderstand me. Remembering the names is not to bring up old scores with those who agree or disagree, but to facilitate the next step of selection."
What are you selecting? The meeting room immediately fell silent.
I don’t know why, but I always feel that this selection is not a good thing.
Han Sishu smiled and thought that Hu Qiongfang was really a smart person. If she hadn't reminded him, Han Sishu would not have thought of using a secret ballot to separate those who were in favor and those who were against.
Then, use "public opinion" to decide the direction of this matter.
In this way, no matter what the final result is, it has nothing to do with him as the mayor.
However, deep down in his heart, Han Sishu was already inclined to throw away this hot potato of the food factory.
Although Mayor Han has been keen on boosting the economy since taking office, he is not stupid. Why would he do a business that is obviously likely to lose money?
In fact, even if Hu Qiongfang had not come to him, Han Sishu's original plan was to take over the food factory, package it a little, and sell it at a good price.
But he didn't expect that the deficit behind such a large food factory was so huge.
If the price offered by Hu Qiongfang had not been too low, he would have wanted to bypass the democratic vote and directly persuade the leaders to sell the food factory.
Putting aside other things, just look at the ability of Hu Qiongfang and her daughter to make money. Once this food factory is in their hands, it will most likely be like Jiang Tian's mooncake factory and make a lot of money in the future.
By then, although the food factory is not collectively owned, the tax revenue and jobs it creates for the town every year will be considered their political achievements!
Han Sishu is keen on economics, but his main purpose is to accumulate political achievements.
But now he suddenly realized that as long as he sold the factory to someone who was truly capable and talented, he wouldn't have to work hard, as others would work hard to help him achieve political achievements. So why would he bother?
Put the right people in the right positions. This was the first sentence his father taught him after he entered the official career, and Han Sishu has always kept it in mind.
Han Sishu felt that Hu Qiongfang and Jiang Tian, mother and daughter, were the best candidates to take over the food factory in his mind at the current position.
"Everyone, listen to me first. The reason why we are using a secret ballot this time is because we need to decide whether to sell the food factory or continue to run it ourselves based on the results of this vote."
"Tomorrow our voting method is this. Everyone writes down their names first, and then ticks or crosses under their names. Ticks mean that you agree to sell the food factory, and crosses mean that you disagree."
"After the voting is over, we will organize a vote count on the spot. Based on the voting results, if the majority of people agree to sell the food factory, then we will sell it!"
"If the majority of people are against it, then we will select a few comrades from those who vote against it to go to the food factory to take charge of the operation."
"What?!" The conference room exploded again.
Han Sishu secretly rolled his eyes in his heart.
I knew it would be like this!
Everyone was very knowledgeable when it came to how to run the economy.
If you let them open a factory and make money on their own, wouldn't they still become as cowardly as this?
She is not as courageous as Hu Qiongfang, a woman.
