Happy Tycoon

The nephew's unintentional words made Li Long's mind suddenly come alive.

My nephew doesn't know much about the current situation of the National Cotton Factory. After all, this kid studied in the UK for two years, and after returning, he flew all over the world. In the past, six of the ten adults in the family worked in the National Cotton Factory. It's a matter in the factory, but now, no one in the family works in the National Cotton Factory, so my nephew's current situation of the National Cotton Factory is limited to hearsay from other people.

But his nephew didn't know, but Li Long knew the current situation of the National Cotton Factory very well.

This factory used to belong to a large state-owned enterprise. It was established in the late 1950s and has a history of 60 years. In the prosperous days before, the employees of the National Cotton Factory were a group of people envied by the entire Tianqu City residents, with high wages, good benefits, and housing allocation. But now, the market is obviously much better than it was more than ten years ago, but the situation of the factory is going from bad to worse.

During the heyday of the factory, there were nearly 7,000 employees in the entire factory. All the equipment in the workshops in the entire factory area were in continuous operation 24 hours a day, and the workers also operated in four shifts and three times. The cotton yarn and cloth produced are all national inspection-free products, and the supply exceeds demand.

But now, there are less than a thousand employees left in the huge factory, and they are still struggling. The gauze produced is sold at a loss, and no one wants it. Moreover, the factory is now completely entrusted by Hengfeng Textile.

You must know that the current Hengfeng Textile used to be Tianqu No. 2 Cotton Mill, commonly known as Second Cotton Mill.

But it's really a turn of events. Ermian, who couldn't even turn on the equipment, could only look up at the National Cotton Factory from a low place, and now he has become the trustee of the National Cotton Factory. Moreover, most of the elite personnel of the National Cotton Factory were forced to resign from the National Cotton Factory and then transferred to the embrace of the Second Cotton Factory, which played a vital role in the rapid development of the Second Cotton Factory.

In fact, the National Cotton Factory is not completely hopeless. It is mainly because of the management that the National Cotton Factory has been burdened with heavy debts. Naturally, they couldn't keep up with the demand of the market, which formed a vicious circle, which eventually led to the current dying situation.

Li Long knew very well that in fact, the National Cotton Factory still has a lot of background, because the National Cotton Factory has a huge background, which is the skilled workers it has cultivated for decades.

The most critical technical work in a cotton mill is not the spinning or weaving workers, but the maintenance workers in the workshop. These security workers are the most fundamental technical support for a cotton spinning mill.

If a cotton spinning factory has a group of security workers with sufficient technology and experience, then these security workers can keep the equipment running in an optimal state at all times, which can greatly reduce the probability of defective gauze, and can also improve Improve the working efficiency of textile machines and cloth machines and reduce losses in all aspects.

In other words, if the security workers of a cotton spinning factory are strong enough, as long as the leader of the cotton spinning factory is not brain-dead and does not steal things from his house, then it will be difficult for the cotton spinning factory to close down.

But it is a pity that the Tianqu National Cotton Factory has a large number of security workers with extremely strong skills and experience, but such a strange situation that is about to close down has appeared for the first time, and the situation here is self-evident .

Li Long didn't know anything else, but what Li Long knew was that those leaders who had been the leaders of the National Cotton Factory for more than 20 years had their own cotton textile factories in their hometowns, and the benefits were quite good. Moreover, some sons and daughters of the former leaders have made a lot of money by throwing gauze upside down!

This is something that Qushi all over the world knows, but these former leaders are now living in peace and tranquility.

But this has suffered for the workers who grew up from the national cotton factory. As a last resort, many highly skilled security workers in the National Cotton Factory were forced to resign from the National Cotton Factory, and then went to the south or other cotton mills to find jobs. Among them, even Li Long's eldest brother-in-law, who is also Yang Jing's uncle, once did this.

Back then, Yang Jing's uncle was a well-known expert in air-jet loom technology in the entire National Cotton Factory. What about now? Because I am getting old, I can no longer do this kind of physical work from the south, so I can only rely on the little salary paid to the bank as a security guard to barely pay for the pension insurance. For the car dealership, it is estimated that Yang Jing's uncle is still working as a security guard for the bank.

There are still many people like Uncle Yang Jing in the National Cotton Factory. Several of Li Long's elementary school classmates are now working for private cotton textile factories in the south. With their own skills, they have all become masters in those factories. There is even a very good buddy of Li Long, who has become the vice president in charge of technology in a private company in the south by virtue of his technology, and he still has shares!

There were also some security workers who were poached by Ermian, which is now Hengfeng. As a result, Hengfeng's technical strength was greatly improved immediately, and the competitiveness of its products in the market was greatly improved.

Therefore, these skilled and experienced old security workers are the foundation of a factory.

Moreover, Li Long also knew that these old skilled workers who went out to work had a deep affection for the National Cotton Factory. Even the buddy who was the vice president of technology in the south, every time he came back to a party and drank, he would express his emotions—— If the National Cotton Factory can recover, I promise to come back to work immediately.

Maybe many people would think it impossible when this guy said this, it’s a bragging comparison, but who would know that a person is floating thousands of kilometers away from his hometown in the south, his parents, wives, children and friends are not around, he is not used to eating and drinking, and the climate is not good Adapt, although they make a lot of money, they are like duckweed without roots. Who can understand their inner suffering?

If they were twenty years younger, they definitely wouldn't say such things, but most of these people are in their forties. This kind of wandering that can make money outside but can't give them the feeling of home is actually their worst. A thing of fear.

Although the current equipment of the National Cotton Factory has long lagged behind a lot, these are not problems. The current factory building of the National Cotton Factory is not too backward. As long as a sum of money can be found to replace the equipment, and if all these skilled workers can be found back, even if half of them are recovered, the National Cotton Factory may soon be brought back to life. .

Of course, the prerequisite for doing all this is to have a sufficient start-up capital.

Thinking of this, Li Long looked at his nephew, and wanted to say something, but hesitated for a while, and finally sighed without saying anything.

Yang Jing could see everything on the old uncle's expression, and finally saw that the old uncle hesitated for a while and did not speak. Yang Jing knew that there were some things that he should say by himself instead of letting the old uncle bring it up.

Uncle, are you tempted by my proposal just now?

Li Long took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, Nonsense, can you not be tempted? If it is possible to take over the National Cotton Factory, I really want to give it a try. Those private cotton factories in the south The textile mills are booming one by one, and I don’t believe that the country’s cotton mills can’t recover.”

After a pause, Li Long heaved a sigh of relief, Look at Ermian. Ermian had already declared bankruptcy before, but it turned into Hengfeng when it was taken over privately. How prosperous is Hengfeng now? I say man, you say me If you take over the National Cotton Factory, can you bring the National Cotton Factory back to life like Hengfeng’s Mr. Lu?

Yang Jing thought for a while and said: Uncle, you can't do this on your own. But if you can find someone who is capable enough to help you, and you have to accept my investment for you, then the country It is not difficult to bring a cotton factory back to life.

real?

Well, anyway, I don't think it's a difficult task. Uncle, do you know where the modern cotton textile industry originated?

Hehe, I really know this. It's in England, to be precise, it's in Manchester, England, the city where Manchester United is located.

Yang Jing nodded, That's right, the world's first steam-driven spinning mill opened in Manchester in 1781, and then, under the pulse of the European Industrial Revolution, as of 1853, Manchester had a total of many There were 108 cotton mills, and the cotton yarn and cloth produced in Manchester at that time accounted for 80% of the world's output, so Manchester was also named the Cotton Capital!

Manchester's cotton textile industry has been brilliant until the twentieth century, but later, Manchester's cotton textile industry began to decline. By 1980, the last cotton textile factory in Manchester was completely closed. The cotton textile industry that had flourished for nearly two centuries Also completely left Manchester. However, as far as I know, in the past few years, in Tameside, Greater Manchester, which is the site of the former Tower factory, a brand new cotton mill was re-established. This new cotton The textile factory adopts the Zurer ring spinning machine produced by the Germans, specializing in the production of ultra-fine and compact cotton yarns with combed counts of 60 and above, targeting the high-end cotton yarn market, and has achieved quite good returns.”

The old uncle nodded, That's right, I've also heard a few buddies talk about this. At present, high-end products in the global cotton spinning industry are becoming more and more popular, so if I take over the National Cotton Factory, I will definitely We will specialize in high-end cotton yarn and fabrics. High-end products represent high profits.

Seeing that the old uncle was really tempted, Yang Jing smiled and said, Uncle, if you really want to do it, I will fully support you! Among other things, how about giving you an interest-free loan of 100 million US dollars first? Loan! With this money, you can change it at will, whether it is an intelligent ring spinning machine or an air-jet vortex spinning machine. Looms, even multi-phase looms and magnetic weft insertion looms, you can change them at will! Whether it is Japanese or German, or Italian or Belgian, as long as you match, you can enjoy Buy it! How about it, uncle, do you accept this proposal from your nephew?

The old uncle rubbed his hands together with a smile, looked at Yang Jing and said, Why don't we try?

Yang Jing chuckled and said, Uncle, just try it! Your nephew has nothing else, but it's no problem to provide you with enough funds.
