Chapter 987 The Mayor of Baise
Liao Yi smiled sadly and said, "Director Meng, you have your freedom, and I am ready to accept the court's investigation at any time. However, the government's ban has been issued, and I feel very pleased that I don't want to see the core technology of Longyuan Group fall into the mouths of the Liu father and son."
This is not only because of the previous holiday, but also because of another plan in Liao Yi’s mind.
"If this is the case, then what else can we say? Sorry, everyone, I don't want to listen to such a meeting anymore, so I will say goodbye first." Meng Shaole stood up angrily, saluted his colleagues in the conference room, then picked up his bag and walked out.
Liao Yi watched Meng Shaole walk out of the conference room, turned around and said to everyone, "Okay, since everyone has nothing else to do, then today's meeting will be here. Please trouble you."
The directors stood up sadly and bowed to Liao Yi. He Yiqing walked at the end. When everyone left, he walked to Liao Yi and said to him: "Chairman, please don't mind. Some things are not something we can change."
Liao Yi patted He Yiqing on the shoulder and said, "Old He, thank you. I don't plan to shirk my responsibilities. I will make a statement to the shareholders. What you said just now is very good. We have regretted it now. We are too pursuing profits, which makes our company no longer have absolute technical advantages. Unfortunately, those later directors did not accept the company's original business philosophy at all."
"This is not something we can worry about." He Yiqing's respect for Chairman Liao Yi comes from the bottom of his heart, and it still remains the same until now.
Liao Yi also said lonely: "Yes, this is not something we care about anymore. The old era has ended. The new century is coming soon. In this century, I don't know who can laugh to the end."
Standing behind Liao Yi, the technical director Li Xiaomin didn't say a word. He knew that the company has reached this point now. There is nothing to say.
Liao Yi has submitted a bankruptcy application to the court, and soon there will be a special bank to handle specific matters related to the company's bankruptcy and auction. The country will send people to take over the laboratory of Longyuan Group and transfer all the core technical information and precision equipment. This is a matter that has been decided long ago.
The only thing Li Xiaomin is now confused is that Chairman Liao Yi once tried his best to persuade him to stay, and there seemed to be other plans.
Three days later, Longyuan Group, which had been established for 25 years, officially declared bankruptcy. Its assets will be auctioned by banks. This incident has caused widespread controversy in the entire industry. After all, it is a large company with a history of more than 20 years.
The establishment and development of the Longyuan Group is in line with the rise of the China Federation and has made countless contributions to the revitalization and prosperity of the country.
But it is such a company with outstanding achievements that has declared bankruptcy. At this critical period when the economic momentum is about to develop rapidly, this has caused many people's concerns.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the bankruptcy of Longyuan Group is not only poor management, but the trade blow of Xinghua News Agency is the main reason.
Secondly, the Hualian government also played an extremely disgraceful role in it, and did not give help because of the past achievements of Longyuan Group. Instead, it stood by and watched the entire group fall down.
The purpose is to take the key technologies of Longyuan Group into their own hands, and now their goal has been achieved.
However, Liu Yongzhuo, the initiator of this incident, focused his target on new targets and took advantage of his own background to gallop in the economic and industrial fields.
In a tea room with a quiet environment, Liu Yongzhuo invited the mayor of Liuzhou City Zuo Yue and several senators from the city council to discuss issues about future economic development strategies.
Among them, there is a talk about the goal of Huayang Heavy Industry's new round of business war, which is not someone else. It is someone else, and it is Jiuding Company, a veteran company similar to Longyuan Group.
Jiuding Company's qualifications are almost as old as Longyuan Group. It is also one of the most companies that Zhong Yang secretly established in the early days. These companies are not controlled and operated by Zhong Yang. He just invested in shares and some core technologies at the beginning, and then he simply enjoyed dividends.
Moreover, Jiuding Company is currently controlled by Tianyu Group and is a subsidiary of Tianyu Group. Liu Yongzhuo is really surprised that he wants to fire at such a company.
"Will your Huayang Heavy Industry's overall development plan be affected?" Mayor Zuo Yue felt a little upset when he heard Liu Yongzhuo's plan.
Liu Yongzhuo smiled relaxedly: "The impact is not great. We did not intend to use Tianyu Group as a competitor in the near future. Our number one imaginary enemy is Jiuding Company."
"Haha, I find that your appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Jiuding Company is one level bigger than Longyuan Group. I think its annual output value is over 10 billion yuan. Can you eat it?" Zuo Yue said. His work scope is originally related to safety issues in the economic field, so he also knows a little about the situation of these well-known domestic companies.
Liu Yongzhuo also agreed with Zuo Yue's words: "Jiuding is indeed very strong, but over the past few years, it has been going downhill. Not only is our Huayang Heavy Industry, but many of our domestic electromechanical companies have competitive relationships with Jiuding Company."
"As the technical level of most of our country's medium-sized enterprises continues to improve, the market of Jiuding Company is gradually being eroded by us. I believe that if we spend a while, Jiuding Company will definitely be dragged down by us."
In the general impression, the larger the scale of a company, the more difficult it is to be defeated. In fact, this is an illusion. Large enterprises have difficulties with large enterprises. First, the larger the company, the greater the fixed cost, which requires sufficient business to ensure the profit of the company.
Second, large companies are often more clumsy, and it is very troublesome to make business adjustments. Their ability to adapt to the market is far less than that of small companies.
To destroy a large enterprise, it does not need to completely occupy its market. As long as it erodes 30% of its market, its own cost will be enough to crush itself.
Huayang Heavy Industry previously squeezed out Longyuan Group and did the same. In fact, Longyuan Group still retained some markets until it went bankrupt, but these markets were no longer enough to support the cost of Longyuan Group.
In this way, Longyuan Group will have to go bankrupt. The same is true of Liu Yongzhuo's approach to defeat Jiuding Company.
In fact, Tianyu Group and Xinghua News Agency have long been aware of similar problems, so they have carried out industrial restructuring and divided their assets into relatively powerful and mutually connected medium-sized enterprises to avoid similar risks.
At the same time, franchise companies have been absorbed to expand their strength and influence.
Only enterprises of the size of Jiuding Company or Longyuan Group will encounter such problems. Their assets are just enough to be called large enterprises, but they are difficult to divide, so that once a certain share of the market is lost, they will face the risk of bankruptcy.
Jiuding Company is a large equipment manufacturing enterprise, and its products involve machine tools, chemical equipment, power generation equipment, steel rolling equipment, etc. Due to its strong technical strength, its products are highly competitive in the domestic and international markets.
In recent years, with the gradual rise of equipment manufacturing industry for China's small and medium-sized enterprises, Jiuding Company has been attacked by these small and medium-sized enterprise products in both domestic and international markets. Yes, from the perspective of Jiuding Company, the products of these small and medium-sized enterprises can indeed only invade it, and are far from hitting the point of attack.
The equipment provided by domestic small and medium-sized enterprises is at least ten years different from Jiuding Company in terms of technical level, and the quality is also incomparable.
But one of the major features of these products is that they are cheap. In addition, there is another point that the requirements for the environment are far lower than similar products of Jiuding Company.
For example, if it is also a coal-fired boiler, small and medium-sized enterprise products do not have any special requirements for the quality of coal. They are almost both soft and hard. Jiuding Company's boiler is much more delicate. Users have to spend extra money to pre-screen and clean the coal.
As the price of both soft and hard, the service life of boilers produced by small and medium-sized enterprises is only half that of Jiuding Company's boilers, and the thermal efficiency is more than 20% lower, and there is no need to mention pollution.
For wealthy customers, of course, it is more worry-free to choose Jiuding Company boilers, but for some customers with relatively tight funds, it seems that boilers produced by small and medium-sized enterprises are also a good choice.
Faced with the invasion of cheap products from small and medium-sized enterprises, Jiuding Company had to give up some low-end markets and eliminated some products that could no longer be profitable. Such concessions have not hurt Jiuding Company's muscles so far, and therefore have not attracted the attention of Jiuding Company's senior management.
In the view of Jiuding Company's senior management, small and medium-sized enterprises can only make small fuss on low-end products. As a equipment manufacturing giant, what's the harm in giving up some low-end products? You must know that high-end is the most profitable place.
Jiuding Company does not care about the competition between small and medium-sized enterprises, but Liu Yongzhuo regarded Jiuding Company as his next goal to deal with. He believed that as long as he kept snatching the market from the other party, no matter how inconspicuous the share he snatched, it would be enough to make Jiuding Company die without a burial place.
"I heard that you have always been watching this Jiuding Company. I'm afraid the hatred between you and it is not just formed now, right?" Zuo Yue asked with a smile. He is the mayor. Whether the plan of Xinghua News Agency and its large number of franchise companies is successful or not, it will be a good thing for the economic development of Liuzhou.
Liu Yongzhuo was not as relaxed as Zuo Yue. "That's right, our Xinghua News Agency had already put it on my blacklist more than 10 years ago. The earliest time was at the Guangzhou Equipment Exhibition, where he snatched a large order from us."
Xinghua News Agency used to be in logistics and transportation and overseas trade, and it was not until the last seven years that it had been full of energy to enter the industrial field and seek development.
However, Jiuding Company has repeatedly obstructed it. Although Tianyu Group has always been in a competitive state with Xinghua News Agency, other Tianyu Group franchise companies are just a formality, and no one is sincere in trying to get along with the Liu family.
Only this Jiuding Company is the most unpretentious and has repeatedly troubled Xinghua.
However, it is no wonder that with Xinghua News Agency's strong capital and operating strength, once it gains a foothold in the machinery manufacturing industry, the first one to have no way to survive is Jiuding Company.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see how Jiuding Company was eaten by your Huayang Heavy Industry." Zuo Yue said with a smile.
The purpose of Zuo Yue coming to the tea room to meet Liu Yongzhuo was naturally not just to meet a younger generation, but to have many other tasks to do. Liu Yongzhuo asked him to come to the meeting for something that Xinghua Club had planned more than ten years ago, that is, to invest in Baise.
Guangdong and Guangxi provinces are the places where China joins its roots. Whether it is economic development or social welfare system, they are at the top level in the country. But this does not mean that there is no poverty or backwardness here. For example, Meizhou in Guangdong Province and Baise in Guizhou Province are both well-known poor areas in the country.
As the mayor of Liuzhou City, Zuo Yue is also very concerned about the surrounding brother cities, not for anything else. Even for his own economic development, he needs a wealthy neighbor beside him, right?
If there are poor counties and cities around, Liuzhou will not have much prospects no matter how well it develops. Because the economy needs circulation to be vibrant. Instead of doing business with other people from faraway across provinces and cities, it is better to revitalize the economy of the surrounding areas first. A prosperous economy will inevitably drive strong consumption capacity.
This will inevitably make Liuzhou the ultimate beneficiary, and economic complementarity is very important.
"Yongzhuo, let me introduce you to you. This is the new mayor of Baise City Yue Huanshan." Behind Zuo Yue, a middle-aged man walked out. His simple clothes made him look more like an honest farmer than an elected mayor with a noble status.
"For the first time we met, hello, I am Liu Yongzhuo from Huayang Heavy Industry." No matter what the other party's image was, Liu Yongzhuo still stood up and saluted to show respect for the other party.
The elected mayor of the Chinese Federation. This position is still very intimidating. No matter how many connections and wealth Liu Yongzhuo has, at least in terms of face, he must respect the country's political order.
"Hello, General Manager Liu, I have also heard of your Daming Huayang Heavy Industry. With the achievements you have made in your hands, many people really amazed. It is indeed a young and promising person." Yue Huanshan's words came from his heart, not to flatter him.
"Mayor Yue. What you said is a little exaggerated. As far as I know, I just took over Huayang Heavy Industry, and it was not up to him alone. The person who manages Huayang Heavy Industry now is the deputy general manager An Haoyu hired by the company, who is a management talent from the United States."
Liu Yongzhuo is still as modest as me, he is not the kind of person with a striking personality.
Yue Huanshan Da disagreed: "What you said about the talents from the United States may be very outstanding, but they are all talented people. You, Liu Yongzhuo, are handsome people. This is completely different from the role of handsome people. In addition, your contribution is not only to strengthen Huayang Heavy Industry. I have heard that many enterprises in the Southwest Industrial Belt are supported by you."
"Your Liu family is a family of two heroes. Today, you are a tiger father without a dog son. As early as the late 1930s, your father Liu Haoran held a supplier recruitment activity in Guizhou Province, which was explicitly to train suppliers for Xinghua Club, but in fact it was a business incubator. Now there are many large enterprises in the southwest of you, and they were recruited by Xinghua Club at that time."
"Mayor Yue is really familiar with our family's affairs." Liu Yongzhuo smiled bitterly. After hearing Yue Huanshan say this, Liu Yongzhuo also felt that his Liu family has made great contributions to the development of the Southwest Speakers. The old man has studied all the causes and consequences, and if he wants to refute it, it is really hypocritical.
Rich people are treated differently in front of different people. Although Yue Huanshan, as the head of a city, is also a manager of two million people, he has some incomparable feelings in front of Liu Yongzhuo.
If it were government officials in wealthy areas along the coast, they would be very polite to the boss of a large enterprise group like Liu Yongzhuo, but their attitudes were at least equal and would not be so humble.
Just like He Yongnian, Zuo Yue and others, they can treat Liu Yongzhuo as younger generations and look down from high to bottom. This is actually because strength determines the mentality. Without such strength, Baise naturally cannot support the dignity of Yue Huanshan.
Officials without money are almost the same as those without hair.
"I heard Mayor Zuo say you are looking for me, but I don't know if there is any specific thing? Otherwise, I will work at noon today, so let's find a quiet place to eat and chat?" Seeing that lunch time was coming, Liu Yongzhuo also suggested at the right time.
"That's great. Actually, this should be said by me. But am I afraid of delaying General Manager Liu's time?" Yue Huanshan asked carefully.
"Mayor Yue, don't call me General Manager Liu. You should call me Xiao Liu like Mayor Zuo. Other adults call me that. In front of you seniors, I dare not be arrogant." Liu Yongzhuo smiled and appropriately showed his humility.
This is neither flattery nor alienation, but a potential etiquette for dealing with people.
"Well... well, then I'll call you Xiao Liu. I always heard that Liu Yongzhuo is approachable. When I saw him today, it was true. Just your calluses are tempted by my old monkey. To be honest, I came from an authentic factory, a worker, team leader, workshop director, factory director, and never skipped a single step."
"Later, I left the company and became the director of the industry, and then I entered the government. Because I was low in education, older and had no room for development, I simply went to participate in the mayoral election. I didn't expect that I was really elected." Yue Huanshan still did not change his nagging temperament, which really looked like a factory master.
Perhaps it is this simplicity that has won the support of voters. To be continued...
