Chapter 507 Parting on Unhappily
In the county magistrate's office, in front of a solid wood table.
Guan Hai looked angry and aggrieved: "Old Li, do you know how much effort I put into getting this opportunity? I was snatching food from a tiger's mouth! I finally managed to grab a big piece of meat, and you're trying to sabotage me. How can you face the trust of the country and the Party, and the thousands of employees in our radio factory?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in the old factory director's eyes, but he still said firmly, "I know what you mean by Gangcheng Huantai Group! We have more than 1000 employees in our city, and Huantai simply cannot take them all in."
A few years ago, Jiangxi Province conducted its first pilot project of a joint venture between a state-owned enterprise and a foreign company. The results are not yet visible, but it has opened up new avenues for Liaoyang Province.
Liaoyang Province sent a team south to attract investment, and Gangcheng Huantai Group was one of the companies that was brought in.
Guan Hai said with exasperation, "This is a necessary sacrifice. It's already quite good that Huantai Group didn't make any higher demands."
What he didn't say was that major changes in the country's direction require sacrifices, and for a factory to revive, there must be gains and losses.
Otherwise, who has the Midas touch to save Changhong Factory while it's burdened with so many problems?
Guan Hai said earnestly, "We have more than 1000 employees and more than 1000 families. We should save as many families as we can. We can't all just wait to die."
The old factory manager, however, said, "I think we should give young people a chance. Boss Lin's suggestion is excellent..."
"Come on, Lao Li, you wouldn't happen to have some shady deal with that young girl, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Aiguo glared at him angrily: "Who are you talking about?!"
Guan Hai then noticed Lin Aiguo and suddenly realized that Lin Aiguo was Boss Lin's father.
It is indeed excessive for a father to speak ill of his daughter in front of her.
Guan Hai crossed his arms over his chest and kept his mouth tightly shut, but his violently heaving chest revealed his anger and dissatisfaction.
The county magistrate looked at the "Economic Report" in his hand and immediately felt overwhelmed.
This report shows that Lin Xiaohe has a thorough understanding of the economy of Anning County, and that young people have their own unique analytical perspective, which is very thought-provoking.
Clearly, Lin Aiguo wanted to use this report as a stepping stone to get a job for his daughter, Lin Xiaohe.
The county magistrate lowered his eyes. Whether this work report was truly written by Lin Xiaohe was still up for debate.
But it's surprising that Lin Xiaohe was able to get through to the factory director of Changhong.
The factory director of Changhong Factory is stubborn, but he is highly experienced and has a lot of prestige in the factory. He is definitely not the kind of person who can be corrupted by sweet talk.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate put aside his previous thoughts and smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, alright, you are all veterans of Changhong Factory, you've known each other for decades, and you all know what kind of person the other is. Since you're all doing this for the good of the factory, let's listen more and observe more."
After all that back and forth, there was still no conclusion regarding the future plans for Changhong Factory.
The former factory director proposed appointing Lin Xiaohe as acting factory director for a six-month internship, but the county head suppressed the proposal.
Guan Hai's idea of having Changhong Factory and Gangcheng Huantai Group jointly establish a new company was also suppressed by the county head with the excuse that "the county cannot make a decision on this matter."
The idea that Lin Aiguo wanted to use that report to secure a position for Lin Xiaohe was completely unfounded.
The three of them left the county magistrate's office together, humming at each other, and ignoring each other.
The road leads to heaven, everyone goes their own way. Leaving the county magistrate's office, Guan Hai felt increasingly resentful.
He went to great lengths to get in touch with Huan Gang Group. They didn't really want the Changhong factory; they just said that as long as Guan Hai could convince the government and the factory, they would be willing to invest.
Guan Hai immediately reported the situation to the deputy county head in charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission's restructuring.
After pondering for a moment, Deputy County Head Liang Wanguo told Guan Hai to wait for your news, as he was preparing to organize a meeting.
Meanwhile, in order to get Lin Xiaohe appointed as the contract-based factory director of Changhong Factory, the old factory director went all out and invited his old comrade-in-arms to dinner.
The other party is a member of the enterprise restructuring team in H city, Liaoyang province, and has influence in this regard.
As luck would have it, both parties chose to dine at the Lao Mo Hotel in H City.
When Lin Xiaohe and the old factory director passed by private room 2013, they saw Guan Hai raising his glass through the open door.
"I only did a little work today, it was a small hardship. All the leaders usually serve the people of the city, which is a great hardship. Being able to serve the leaders is also a way of indirectly serving the people. I should thank you for giving me this opportunity to learn and practice. I'll do it, you can do as you please."
Everyone in the private room burst into laughter, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
It must have been a leader who said, "Xiao Guan speaks very eloquently!"
Lin Xiaohe clicked her tongue; these were words she couldn't possibly utter even if she racked her brains.
Therefore, we need to find another way to achieve our goal.
The old factory director's expression grew increasingly solemn.
If you can find city leaders, you can find Guan Hai too.
It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious.
In private room number 2018, Lin Xiaohe and her companion waited for about 15 minutes before an elderly man with gray hair, wearing an executive jacket, standing straight, walked in and gave the old factory director a warm hug.
"Goodness, you've finally decided to come to the city. Don't rush back, stay a few more days, I'll make arrangements for you!"
The old factory director didn't stand on ceremony with his comrade-in-arms, and said with a wry smile, "How could I be in the mood for eating and drinking in the city? Guan Hai is single-mindedly trying to get Changhong Factory to form a new joint venture with Gangcheng Huangang Group. According to the example of Jiang Province, isn't this just getting rid of a burden? We still have more than 300 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in our factory. Do you think the capitalists in Gangcheng would be willing to take them in?"
"Old Li, I have to criticize you. These days we're talking about a market economy and diversified development, so stop bringing up capitalists all the time. It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat."
The three of them took their seats.
The old factory director opened a bottle of baijiu and poured the other person a full glass: "If there were no other hope, I certainly wouldn't object. But now, I've found a new leader for Changhong Factory, Boss Lin Xiaohe! Don't underestimate her because she's young, but her business acumen and strategic vision are something I can confidently say that no young cadre in the entire Anning County can compare to her!"
Only then did the other party turn their gaze to Lin Xiaohe, who revealed a big smile, bright and confident, a rare flamboyance within the system.
The old factory manager was still there, praising Lin Xiaohe: "Three new Pang Donglai Selected Supermarkets have opened in Anning County. I personally witnessed how Boss Lin got the supermarkets up and running in just one week. The business was booming! It not only boosted the income of the surrounding farmers, but also revitalized the retail market in Anning County."
"I have had in-depth discussions with Mr. Lin about the Changhong factory. Mr. Lin has a series of rectification measures and future development strategies for the Changhong factory. I think this is the real enterprise reform and embracing the market."
