Material Empire

In front of Shen Chuanming, Liu Jie, Yu Kexiu and others certainly could not say that he was lying. In fact, it is common practice for the government to apportion to enterprises, and Jintang is no exception. For example, for any celebration in the city, all companies must provide sponsorship; when it comes to large-scale events, the city will also send personnel from various companies to serve, and it must be free of charge. In the past two years, the business conditions of various enterprises in Jintang were not good, and the city government could not find any fat sheep if they wanted to apportion the apportionment. Also for this reason.

Mayor Shen has always been very supportive of our company. It is rare to apportion this kind of thing. Of course, as a company in Jintang, we will take the initiative to share the city's worries when we encounter something. This is definitely not a distribution. Yu Kexiu said in a snappy manner, and whoever heard these words, there was a hint of no money here.

Liu Jie also said: Old Yu is right. Our leaders in Jintang have always supported the work of the company, especially Mayor Shen, who has always opposed the random apportionment to the company. So there is no need for Mr. Qin to worry.

It turns out that's the case. Qin Hai pretended to be stunned when he heard what Yu Kexiu and Liu Jie said, and said, It seems that I still don't know enough about Jintang. Please criticize Mayor Shen. I believe Mayor Shen’s governance philosophy, however, if one day Mayor Shen is promoted and goes to the province or the central government, will there be any changes? Since we want to set up a business in Jintang, it must be For those who hope to become a century-old enterprise, I don’t know if Jintang City can give us a long-term commitment.”

Shen Chuanming's face was a little ugly. He could see that Qin Hai was not a character easy to deal with, but he couldn't find any flaws in him. It is human nature for people to set up businesses here and hope for a stable environment. As the deputy mayor, he must make a promise to the other party. If Jintang's situation was better, he might still be able to put on airs and bargain with Qin Hai, but now Jintang's economic situation is very bad. Seventy to eighty percent of the tens of thousands of workers are on the verge of being laid off or laid off. He couldn't help being reserved anymore.

What kind of long-term commitment does Mr. Qin need? Shen Chuanming asked.

Qin Haidao: These days, I have also learned about the situation of various enterprises. I know that in enterprises such as Hongguang Factory and Jinnan Factory, employees can only pay 50% of their wages, and the wages of retired workers are also in arrears for a long time. Only 30% can be issued. Our plan is as follows:

For retirees, we hope to establish a fund to ensure that their pensions can be paid in full. After the country establishes a comprehensive pension insurance system in the future, the money from this fund will be used to make up for the insurance premiums they owed in the past, so as to ensure that they can be included in the country's unified pension insurance system.

How do you know that the country will establish a unified pension insurance system? Shen Chuanming asked in surprise. He has also heard about the reform of the insurance system, but he doesn't know exactly what it will look like. Listening to what Qin Hai said now, it seems that the country will incorporate the retirement benefits of enterprise retirees into an overall system. He wonders where Qin Hai's foresight comes from.

Qin Hai smiled slightly and said, I have some business contacts with several ministries and commissions of the state. I got the information from them, and of course it's not accurate.

So that's the case. Shen Chuanming nodded and stopped asking, but said, Well, Mr. Qin, please continue.

Qin Hai went on to say: Because the wealth created by these retirees in the past has been handed over to the state, their retirement funds should also be borne by the state. Since the current government does not have such a special fund to protect their retirement wages, we believe that It should be possible to build this fund by selling the assets of the businesses. Simply put, we are willing to pay for the assets of these businesses, but a portion of that money should be earmarked for housing the retired workers of these businesses.”

This... Shen Chuanming was stunned. Qin Hai's proposal is quite reasonable. If the business cannot continue, according to the bankruptcy law, you can file for bankruptcy and sell the assets to institutions willing to contribute. However, the money from the sale of these assets cannot be completely taken away by the government, but should be used to resettle the retired workers of the enterprise. This practice is very common in later generations, but it was a pioneering work back then.

It is precisely because this is a pioneering work that Shen Chuanming hesitates. The country's assets are sold, and the government can't get the money in the end. This feeling is very disappointing.

Mr. Qin, you want to merge our Jintang enterprises. We can agree to this merger within the scope of the policy. But how the government uses the funds you used for merging enterprises is not your investment. It’s a question that businessmen should consider. The government has government arrangements, so it has nothing to do with you, right?” Shen Chuanming said.

Qin Haidao: Mayor Shen's point of view, I don't agree with it. Take the Jinnan factory as an example, there are 200 retired workers in the whole factory, and they all made contributions to the Jinnan factory. If we merge the Jinnan factory, But it can’t guarantee their happiness in their old age. Let’s put it bluntly, the factory manager will feel sorry for these old workers. For the Jinnan factory, we must take into consideration the security of retired workers, and if the city government cannot solve this problem, we will never dare to take over.”

Shen Chuanming turned to look at Zeng Zhiqiang, and asked, Director Zeng, do you think President Qin's request is appropriate?

Zeng Zhiqiang's eyes flickered a little. He didn't know whether Shen Chuanming supported Qin Hai's idea, so naturally he didn't dare to express his opinion easily. He coughed in embarrassment, and said to several factory managers: Do you guys have more say in this issue? What do you think about this?

Yu Kexiu took over the conversation without hesitation and said: Personally, I agree with Mr. Qin's proposal, and I am very grateful to Mr. Qin for being so considerate for the 200 retired workers in our factory. I, Yu Kexiu, Xiu’s ineffective management caused the company to suspend work and production, and workers’ wages could not be guaranteed. I asked the city leaders to punish me.

But I would like to say that the current situation of the Jinnan factory has nothing to do with the retired workers. They have made their due contributions. Now is the time for us to consider how to protect their lives in their later years. In the past year, I have been struggling with this problem. Today, I heard Mr. Qin say this, and I suddenly understood. I request the city government and Mayor Shen to give full consideration to Mr. Qin's suggestion.

Qin Hai's suggestion was obviously made after discussing with Yu Kexiu, Liu Jie and others. They were just putting on airs here, acting for Shen Chuanming, Zeng Zhiqiang and others. Hearing Yu Kexiu's statement, the other factory directors also spoke one after another. The core content was one: support Qin Hai's proposal.

Shen Chuanming was no different. In front of the factory directors, he couldn't completely deny everyone's opinions. He nodded and said, Since everyone shares this point of view, I will report your opinions to the municipal party committee, and the party committee of the municipal party committee will discuss and decide. However, don't worry, no matter what the final result is, the retirement of each of your companies The city will fully consider the problems of workers, and we cannot let these old workers have no protection in their later years.

Qin Haidao: Thank you, Mayor Shen. I want to make a special statement. The reason why we make such a request is entirely out of the need to accept these companies, and it is not to interfere with the policies of Jintang City. Therefore, we hope that this fund will The earmarked funds can only be used to pay the salaries of the retired workers of these enterprises, and they cannot be used in one big pot, and are used equally for all enterprises in the city. We need a promise from the city on this point.”

Shen Chuanming's face turned greener. Just now, he was a little moved by Qin Hai's suggestion to use the proceeds from the sale of the enterprise to establish a pension fund for retired workers. He felt that this was a good solution to the wage problem of retired workers in the city. But Qin Hai's addition shattered his wishful thinking.

If you sell a few businesses, you can get millions of dollars. The money is used to guarantee the wages of the retirees of these companies. It can be managed for decades, but if it is used to pay the wages of all the retirees in the city, it will take half a year. I can't support it. For Shen Chuanming, what he wanted to solve was the city's problems. As for what to do in half a year, he could leave it alone. But Qin Hai's thinking is the opposite. He only cares about the companies he has acquired and the affairs of the city, and has nothing to do with him.

The way is different, not to conspire with each other, this is a thought that came to Shen Chuanming's mind. He felt that he had been too tolerant of Qin Hai, so that the other party was so pressing every step of the way, leaving him no space at all.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Qin Hai coldly, and said, Boss Qin is really a person who does great things, and he knows so much about the government's work, so he gave us such a good suggestion. However, you are an enterprise, and we Those who work in the government may have different perspectives on issues. Hongguang Factory and Jinnan Factory are all enterprises owned by the whole people, and their assets belong to the whole people, not to individual enterprises. The income from the sale of state-owned assets should be paid by There has never been a saying that the government uses the funds as a whole, and there is no such thing as earmarking funds for special use, and I ask President Qin to understand this point.

Mayor Shen, I don't agree with your statement. Before Qin Hai could say anything, Yu Kexiu stood up abruptly, and said such a sentence unceremoniously.

Director Yu, what do you disapprove of? Shen Chuanming narrowed his eyes, and his tone was already a bit annoyed. Qin Hai is a foreign investor, so it is not easy for him to lose his temper. Yu Kexiu is just a factory manager under his control, but he dared to contradict him like this, how could he not show his anger.
