Chapter 654 First setback
Judging from Wang Xian's words, he strongly suggested that the acquisition of Changhe Automobile Factory was not just for the technical workers and equipment of this factory, but also for the hope of establishing good relations with the local government.
After all, Changhe was originally one of the few medium-sized enterprises in Changchun City, and many people rely on it to make a living. Once it goes bankrupt, it will lead to an increase in the unemployment rate in the city. This is what the administrative team of municipal fu fears the most.
It is different from the original Red Dynasty in time and space. The mayor here has to go through the election. If the economic problems cannot be solved well, I guess not to mention re-election, I might be knocked down one day.
At the same time, Wang Xian also continued to explain that the benefit of acquiring Changhe is also the ownership of a land with very objective appreciation potential.
"Once our company acquires Changhe Automobile Company, I think our car mass production and production line layout can be selected separately. For the original factory site of Changhe Automobile Factory, we can completely change the land use procedures and prepare for the future real estate tide. As long as the real estate really prospers, I believe that the cost of acquiring the Changhe Automobile Factory can be fully earned from that piece of land."
In fact, Chen Yongmian had guessed Wang Xian’s meaning just now. Now, after hearing what he said, it confirmed his guess.
"Oh? Then, where do you think the location is the most suitable for our production base?" Chen Yongmian asked again.
"Haha, is that more important? It's the automobile production workshop of Changchun City's former Machinery Factory No. 1, which is separated from us by a wall?"
"Yes! Why didn't I expect this?"
Hearing Wang Xian say this, Chen Yongmian slapped his thigh. Obviously, he agreed with Wang Xian's idea very much. When Wang Xian saw the boss's meaning, he obviously agreed with his point of view. His face couldn't help but turn red with excitement. He continued to talk to Chen Yongmian.
"This Changchun Machinery Factory was once glorious before. Their original automobile production department was famous nationwide. It turned out that they had produced transport trucks, buses, small shuttle buses, agricultural machinery vehicles, and even engineering vehicles. What's more, they had specially undertaken orders from the troops and produced military vehicles."
"Although their bankruptcy is a pity, they actually left a very rich legacy. Some time ago, when I had nothing to do, I went to the automobile production department of Changchun Machinery Factory next door to see it. To be honest, the place is really good, covering an area of 150,000 acres."
"And the planning of this factory was originally designed by Japanese experts in the 1930s, and their skills were very solid. Even now, it is not out of date. From the raw material storage workshop, to the stamping workshop, to the welding and assembly workshop, and to the assembly workshop, all have been carefully planned. The distance between the workshop is maintained very well. It is definitely of great help to production efficiency."
Wang Xian kept explaining to Chen Yongmian, obviously he was very satisfied with the legacy left by the old machinery factory.
"I also went to see the maintenance of the workshops of the factory, because they were all built in the 1930s and the materials were very kind. Those production workshops are different from the current steel structure production workshops. They are all red brick walls. In addition to the roof a bit worn, they need to be replaced with a light-transmitting steel structure ceiling with better light-transmitting, and there is almost no need to change it. The insulation facilities inside and the ground maintenance are also very good. I think it will not be a problem even if it has been used for fifty years. As long as our equipment is in place and after two or three months of debugging, I guess it will be able to mass-produce it."
When Wang Xian said this, his face was already full of red, and Chen Yongmian was so happy that he kept patting his thighs. Both of them were attracted by the heritage of the Changchun Machinery Factory. If they could win it, it would be worth it.
If we can take over the original automobile production department of the Nanyang Machinery Factory, it will be able to greatly accelerate the progress of their automobile mass production.
Changchun Machinery Factory No. 1 was previously a military vehicle manufacturer run by the Japanese, mainly providing certain mechanized troops for the puppet Manchukuo troops. Of course, the supply of the Japanese invading China was the top priority.
Later, in the Sino-Japanese War, Japan collapsed across the board, and the factory did not have time to move away, but it was cheaper. According to the wartime system at that time, all these industries were confiscated by the military, and the civil servant team that came to take over administrative affairs took over, responsible for the specific operation.
Until July 1946, after the war was lifted, the government officials sent by the central government no longer had the privilege of governing local governments, but instead elected representatives from the local government.
This Changchun Machinery Factory can naturally be auctioned off. It is originally a state asset, so government officials cannot rely on it and occupy these state-owned assets.
On the other hand, if these industries cannot be properly handled, it will indeed cause a negative impact on the local economy. Therefore, the government plans to auction the factory, and part of the income will be included in the local finances and part of it will be handed over to the central government.
Not only that, units that want to participate in the factory bidding must also be responsible for the work arrangements and welfare payments of the factory workers. However, in the face of the two-year tax-free preferential policy, these conditions are still acceptable, and many people even flock to them.
Originally, the main business of this company was military production, and even the civilian products were included, it actually provided services to the army. Now that the war is over, according to the constitution, the government cannot continue to interfere in the business management of the company, which made Chen Yongmian get a big advantage.
Although this company is forced to go bankrupt, its assets are also valuable. If you want to get it, you won’t have a certain amount of capital investment. There are not many individuals or organizations that can afford these former state-owned enterprises.
Chen Yongmian was happy because of Wang Xian’s proposal, while Wang Xian was happy because of Chen Yongmian’s enlightenment and generosity. You should know that not every boss likes the employees below, and he is so self-decisive.
Chen Yongmian didn't know anything at all. He was very open-minded. Working with such a boss gave Wang Xian a real sense of accomplishment in working hard for his career.
"Okay, Wang Xian. This plan and idea are really good. So you guess how much does it cost to take down the automobile production department of Changchun Machinery Factory next door?"
Chen Yongmian is a straightforward person. With a decision, he will never be dragged on.
"According to my estimate, 30 million to 50 trillion yuan of funds should be enough. After all, the place has been abandoned for a long time, and the facilities and equipment inside are very old. Moreover, the factory is really full of weeds, and the geographical location there is not very good for the real estate industry. No one can make any ideas about where to go. Even if someone wants to do something, they can't afford such a price. After all, the place is too big. If the price is too low, the city will never agree."
"Okay, you can make a risk assessment report immediately and then do this immediately. Try to take down these two pieces of land at the same time, don't be afraid of spending money. Your boss, I'm not short of money, the difference is time. We are competing with time. Do you know? I hope that our car will be available in April next year..."
When Chen Yongmian thought of being able to bring the car he designed to the market as soon as possible, he felt aroused. Money is not a problem for him now. Time is the big problem.
"I understand! I understand the boss, I'll do it now."
Wang Xian was also very straightforward. After getting Chen Yongmian's permission, he immediately went out with decisiveness. The company's current registered capital is 100 million yuan. Now, some of the expenses for paying workers are basically placed in the bank, which is a huge waste.
Wang Xian went out to buy the car production department of Changhe Automobile Factory and Changchun Machinery Factory, and Chen Yongmian had to sit in front of the computer and began to design new models.
After all, as a car factory with great ambitions, it is impossible to produce only one car. Faced with consumers with increasingly picky tastes, you must prepare more models for consumers to choose from.
Five days later, Wang Xian, who was extremely efficient in his work, brought back good news to Chen Yongmian. As soon as he entered the office, Wang Xian was caught by Chen Yongmian and asked questions.
"How is our acquisition plan going? It's already January, aren't there yet?"
Chen Yongmian felt very anxious about the acquisition.
"Well, the acquisition of the old factory of Changchun Machinery Factory has been basically completed. The Land Bureau has given approval documents, and a total of eight million was spent. That factory belongs to us. The property certificate and other items before New Year's Day should be obtained. This land cost a total of eighteen million. In the end, the Land Bureau and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission also sold and handed over the original factory area next to us."
"Compared with the main factory area, that piece of land is much cheaper. Because the area is relatively small, it is only 50,000 mu for 2 million yuan. Therefore, this acquisition cost a total of 200,000 mu, and we will take a total of 200,000 mu of factory area."
Wang Xian began to report to Chen Yongmian about the progress of the acquisition.
"Yeah, okay, don't worry about the bigger place, the bigger the better."
Chen Yongmian was not afraid of big places. For him, he was confident that he would make his factory bigger and bigger, so the more spare storage land, the better.
"This is great. I will contact the suppliers in Liuzhou immediately and ask them to send all the machinery and send all the training and commissioning personnel. You will immediately organize people to start cleaning the site there, replace the roof with transparent steel roofs, and have you found all the production personnel to be trained?"
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, the manpower has been found, and the roof has also started to move. The steel roof has a simple structure and is relatively solid. It is not as powerful as the foundation and the brick and tile house, which is affected by the weather. Now the manpower is arranged to work. It is estimated that it will be completed on January 20 next year, which is before the Spring Festival."
Wang Xian's work made Chen Yongmian feel relieved. To be honest, Chen Yongmian was very glad that he had chosen the right manager during this period. With him helping to manage the factory himself, he could devote himself to R&D work and save a lot of his energy.
"But we are in some trouble with the acquisition of Changhe Automobile Factory?" Wang Xian changed his mind and looked puzzled.
"Oh? What's going on? Tell me." Chen Yongmian's expression also became solemn. The acquisition of Changhe Automobile Factory is a top priority for them. Because this concerns whether their new car will be available for sale next year.
"Originally, we had a good negotiation with the Land Bureau and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and we even entered the stage of substantive negotiations from the initial intention, but I don't know where a Longfa company suddenly came into contact. Judging from their intentions, they actually wanted to intercept the truth."
Wang Xian said that he was not happy here. In the early stage, for the acquisition of Changhe Factory, he didn't know how many trips the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and Changchun Municipal Fu office building were invited to dinner. He didn't know how many red envelopes were distributed, but the emergence of Longfa Company has now made the acquisition situation confusing.
"What? What Longfa Company? What does this company do?"
When Chen Yongmian heard that someone wanted to intercept the fool, he got angry on the spot. What a bullshit Longfa Company, where the thing came out, actually wanted to put the chopsticks into my job?
What was originally natural, but now there is a sudden disruption in this situation. How could Chen Yongmian not get angry?
Seeing that his boss was in a very bad mood, Wang Xian quickly reported the information he had found to avoid being angry with Chen Yongmian.
"I also learned about this Longfa Company through the side. This company is a newly established company with a registered capital of 8 million yuan. It is in the real estate industry, but its background seems to be very complicated. The general manager and chairman, Zhao Zhanhu, is a native of Changchun. He used to be a street gangster, but later he started his career in the film and entertainment industry during the puppet Manchukuo period."
"Before our army occupied Changchun, he responded positively, so after the city was broken, it not only was not liquidated, but it grew rapidly. Now it has started to engage in real estate again. However, I heard that he has a very good relationship with several officials in the municipal government. It seems that there are many shares of the second-generation men of the Northern Military Region officials in his Longfa Company."
Wang Xian is worthy of being a veteran in the mall. He is indeed a skill in collecting intelligence. In just a few days, he has already figured out the details of Longfa Company.
"No wonder?"
After hearing Wang Xian's introduction, Chen Yongmian had a rough understanding. If it weren't for the water in it, how could this Longfa compete with their Pegasus Power Group? You should know that if you are purely competing for financial resources, the Chen family really doesn't believe that there are several companies in China that can compete with it.
Now that money can't be done, it must be that there is something wrong with the relationship with the person in charge.
"Then what is their purpose of purchasing this land?" Chen Yongmian frowned, pondered for a while, and then asked again.
"It's still necessary to ask? They are real estate companies, so of course they won't buy Changhe and build cars. They must have also taken a fancy to the land of Liuhe Automobile Factory, and they plan to use it for real estate development."
Wang Xian sneered and said, obviously he was very annoying to such a disruptor.
To be honest, the land at Changhe Automobile Factory is optional for them. After all, they are not a company specializing in real estate. For them, that site is of course better if they have it, and it doesn't matter if they don't have it.
However, the reason why they were willing to spend 10 million to acquire Changhe Automobile Factory was to establish good relations with Changchun Municipal Government and facilitate the future development of the company.
"What is the attitude between the municipal government and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission?" Chen Yongmian asked again.
Although Changhe Auto Company is a private enterprise, the factory has been mortgaged to the government since Changhe's boss owed huge gambling debts and was unable to repay them. Moreover, the central government can also withdraw a portion of the proceeds from the auction of such assets and pay them into the state treasury, which is why the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission participates.
"The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the municipal fu, of course, hope that those who are at high prices will get it. After all, in their eyes, this Liuhe Automobile Factory is a burden. The city is divided into two opinions. One group hopes that we can take over. After all, when I acquired Liuhe, my intention was very clear. We were just to produce cars. So these people hope that we can replace Liuhe and continue to survive. The other group is only concerned about the economic revenue generation this year. They also think that those who are at high prices should get it. As for what they do after getting this piece of land, they don't care."
Wang Xian was very angry when talking about this. You should know that among the many people who oppose the acquisition of Pegasus Power, many of them have received his red envelopes.
Although Hualian politics is fairly honest, it is really hard to ban the red envelopes. As long as it does not affect the official affairs too much, the country and the people can still tolerate it.
However, now Wang Xian is not angry with these people who have received red envelopes and are not doing anything and are in opposition.
"Well, that's it! Then I'll go and inquire about the news at noon, and we'll discuss it when we come back."
Originally, Chen Yongmian didn't want to find the acting mayor of Changchun City because of this matter, but now it seems that it is impossible to find it. The acquisition of Changhe Auto has always been a concern for him, and he must take down the Changhe Auto Factory as soon as possible.
After Wang Xian finished his reply, he went out, while Chen Yongmian sat in his boss's chair, staring at the snow outside the window, and staring at the long time.
The snow outside the window was getting heavier and colder.
Chen Yongmian turned around and looked at the Pegasus Power Group he founded with one hand and one step at a time. It was a lie to say that he was not proud of it. Even if he was born in a wealthy and noble family, he was carrying unimaginable pressure from others, especially in this era, the idea of a son inheriting his father's business was extremely common.
Chen Yongmian, who was proud by nature, naturally did not want to be the prodigal son, so he ran far away to this far north and run his own career.
As he expected, his father Chen Ze's influence had not reached this land yet, giving him room to breathe freely. However, the price was that Tianyu Group could not scare those competitors here, which made Chen Yongmian very depressed.
The road ahead is not a smooth road...
