Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Fortunately, although the tractor factory was located in a remote place, there was the home of a notary office staff member nearby, so it did not take too much time to invite the staff.

While the two parties were still discussing certain details, Director Wu's assistant quickly ran to the nearby notary office to invite the necessary staff.

On the way, the notary asked, "I heard that you are going to sell the tractor factory?"

He felt very puzzled. After all, although the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was doing well, the old state-owned enterprise was clearly declining, and it was almost impossible to find anyone willing to take over at this time.

In response, the assistant glanced at the other party and replied, "Why would I come to you if I didn't want to sell it? Am I going to treat you to a meal?"

"Our new factory director will come from the steel mill."

"Are you talking about the Red Star Steel Mill?"

The notary staff showed shock on their faces.

The news about the Red Star Steel Mill had already spread throughout the city. At first, he thought he had misheard and checked it over and over again.

The assistant was annoyed by the questions and nodded quickly.

"Yes, it is the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Hurry up, our factory director is waiting for the contract to be signed."

"Then hurry up, this is a historic moment!"

The staff of the notary office rushed out one after another without being urged.

Although Su Chen took over the Changhong Tractor Factory, he could not guarantee that he could bring it to glory, but at least it would not face bankruptcy like before.

At this moment, the staff of the notary office were extremely excited.

If he could have witnessed this moment, it might have become one of the most famous moments in history.

The two ran into the tractor factory one after the other, and the assistant took the notary office staff directly to the conference room. As soon as they arrived, they happened to see Su Chen and Director Wu finishing reading the contract and preparing to sign it.

Witnessing this scene, the staff immediately got to work and quickly started the notarization process.

After all procedures were completed and both parties signed and confirmed the documents, Changhong Tractor Factory officially became an asset under Su Chen's name.

Only then did Director Wu finally feel relieved and completely relaxed.

He no longer had to worry about the tractor factory failing and workers being forced to lose their jobs.

From now on, these worries will no longer appear. Under Su Chen's control, the future Changhong Tractor Factory should become more and more prosperous. Yang Xue witnessed this series of processes and was filled with astonishment and sour emotions.

Although she was an accompanying staff member of Yu Su Chen and did not participate in the decision-making, she still felt incredible that Su Chen had really bought the factory. The fact that the two of them only walked around the factory for a short time and made a major decision to land the contract still shocked her.

Although Yang Xue is not a flower that lives under protection, she also understood the strength of this factory by following this factory transfer journey.

This factory currently has a workforce of less than 300 people, but it is fully equipped with all the necessary production equipment and its employees have excellent technical capabilities. If it can receive large orders, annual revenue of over 100,000 yuan will be a no-brainer.

Such a powerful factory could be acquired with only 500,000 yuan, and it was a full controlling stake. This was simply too good a deal!

Yang Xue was even more amazed that Su Chen actually had such ability.

She had heard about Su Chen taking over the steel mill before, and learned that the liability contract he signed had very high requirements. If the steel mill went bankrupt under his management, he would not only have to bear the economic losses but also be held accountable. It was for this reason that this high-quality factory was sold to him at such a low price.

If Yang Xue had known about this opportunity, she might have tried to take over. However, even if Yang Xue really got the Red Star Steel Mill, it would not be easy to fully fulfill those conditions. Only by using the background of the Yang family could the goal be achieved.

After all, it was extremely rare for someone like Su Chen to be able to give a steel mill a new lease of life. It was precisely because of this that Yang Xue admired him even more.

If the tractor factory also adopted the same contract method as the steel mill, Yang Xue would naturally understand why it only cost 250,000 yuan to buy it. However, the tractor factory contract signed by Su Chen currently has a clause without any responsibility. This means that even if Su Chen buys it and immediately resells it to someone else, there will be no problem.

As we all know, the buying and selling of steel mills is strictly prohibited, and no matter how they are operated in their hands, they must create profits for the steel mills.

Yang Xue was really puzzled by this. Had everyone in the tractor factory lost their minds? Why would they agree to let Su Chen take over the entire factory at such a low price?

However, even if she pondered over this question again and again, she still had no answer. In fact, the answer was very simple.

There was a reason why Director Wu chose to trust Su Chen and why the tractor factory employees agreed. It was because Su Chen successfully turned the situation around.

After he reached an agreement with the steel mill, he did bring a happy life to the workers in the steel mill, and there were continuous overseas orders. This gave the workers hope for the future. This is why the people in the tractor factory were willing to believe in Suchen.

If someone else had taken over the company, it would have been impossible for him to gain the same trust from Director Wu and all the other employees. After all, Su Chen was well-known and had strong abilities.

Because of this, money is not the most important factor in the eyes of Director Wu. He hopes to ensure the happiness of the workers while selling the factory.

All the employees of the tractor factory were eager for Suchen to lead them into a brighter life. That was why even such a young and energetic new manager was accepted by everyone. After signing the contract, Suchen carefully kept a copy.

"Director Su Chen, now the Changhong Tractor Factory is under your management. I hope you can lead it to prosperity." Director Wu looked outside with a nostalgic look.

His eyes fell upon an old and well-decorated tractor statue, which was the symbol of Changhong Tractor Factory. This scene brought back his memories of the time when he first took over Changhong Tractor Factory.

At that time, Changhong Tractor Factory was a well-known and powerful enterprise with more than 3,000 employees. Although it was still relatively small compared to large units such as steel mills, it was more than enough to maintain the production tasks of tractors, and the tractor factory at that time actually manufactured tractor equipment.

However, the situation has deteriorated in recent years, and even today, the factory director, who is watching the scene outside, is filled with mixed emotions.

Su Chen replied with a smile.

"Please rest assured that the tractor factory will prosper under my control." Then he shook hands with Director Wu tightly.

Then he said, "I'm going to talk to my new colleague now."

Director Wu nodded and followed him into the factory.

Now when Su Chen walked into this area, he was no longer a guest, but the owner of this factory. Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of all employees.

Employees at the tractor factory stopped their work and the entire production line stopped.

·………Request flowers……

"Hello, comrades."

Su Chen found a seat and stood on a table.

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the employees in the tractor factory looked at him.

"My name is Su Chen. I don't know if you have heard of me. I used to be the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. From now on, I will also be the new director of the Changhong Tractor Factory."

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers were heard in the venue. Obviously, the old employees of Changhong Tractor Factory were very happy to finally welcome a new leader.

Su Chen had to stretch out his hands and press down to let the employees calm down before continuing:

"I know everyone is feeling a little unhappy right now. But please rest assured, after the tractor factory restarts, your treatment will gradually approach the standards of the steel rolling mill, and all the current benefits for old employees will remain unchanged."

Su Chen looked around and found that the current production line was small and most employees were doing nothing. The main reason was that the factory received very few orders, so it could not guarantee normal production.

Therefore, the current situation does not meet the standard of full resumption of work. Even if the parts are being produced in the factory, he estimates that they can only be used to repair a "Dongfanghong 28" tractor parked outside the factory.

After hearing that there was still room for improvement in their treatment, the workers asked Su Chen with increasing excitement:

"Will we be paid by the piece like our fellow workers in the steel mill?"

“Will the incentive policy of getting 1% of the profit share for innovative products be effective for us?”

“Will our wages be paid on time in the future?”

All the workers' questions instantly came to Su Chen's ears.

Seeing this, he gestured for everyone to calm down, and then explained patiently.

"The answer is of course yes. As long as we work together, the salary standards of the tractor factory will be comparable to those of the steel mill."

But he also pointed out: "This requires a process and depends on the gradual improvement of the factory's future production efficiency. It will not be achieved overnight."

The purpose of such a statement is actually that Su Chen does not want his employees to be completely dependent on him from the beginning. Because compared with the mature steel rolling mill, the newly built tractor factory still faces many unknowns and areas that need improvement.

If he had promised the highest pay at the outset, it would have likely created a passive and lazy attitude and produced many people who would have tried to deceive.

Su Chen knew the workers' complex mentality, and not all of them served the company with a loyal belief.

Therefore, through such a step-by-step approach, we can ensure that the factory operates while slowly winning people's hearts and minds.

When the day comes when all the workers are grateful to him for their ever-increasing treatment, the tractor factory will truly get on track and become Suchen's core industry.

Before this, the tractor factory workers had never dared to imagine that they could enjoy the same treatment as the workers in the steel mill. They were not aware of Suchen's plans. The workers were very happy that they would receive a higher salary and would not be fired again. When they received Suchen's promise, the ecstatic cheers seemed to overturn the roof of the factory. Suchen was the only factory director in the city and even in the whole country who had successfully made a state-owned manufacturing plant grow and prosper. And the promise he made was also of immeasurable importance.
