Chapter 219: Verbal Warfare
"Secretary Yang. I don't bother you. Xu Jie just left for a while. The door pushed. Qiao Ruihua walked in with a heavy face. He asked in a deep voice.
Yang Weiguo's brows furrowed slightly. But he got up with a smile and said, "Hehe." Mayor Joe is here. Great work. What do you think. The workers of the Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant were persuaded to go back. He said. He beckoned Qiao Ruihua to sit on the sofa on the side. and asked the secretary Xie Jing to take out his good tea and brew it for Qiao Ruihua.
"It's all back." Qiao Ruihua sat on the sofa a little tiredly. He sighed heavily. said: "Actually, we workers. They are all very considerate and understanding of people. If not, there is no way. They're not going to come here and cause us trouble. Let's be honest. When facing them. I'm really guilty as the mayor. I feel very uncomfortable. ”
Yang Weiguo felt a little disdainful in his heart. You've only been here for a few days. Guilty of something. Isn't this insinuation, pointing at mulberry and scolding Huai. But there was no discoloration on his face. I took a sip of the water from my teacup. Only then did he say in a deep voice: "The steel mill has come this far. All our leading cadres have unshirkable responsibilities. But now is not the time to talk about responsibility. Rather, we should find a way to solve these problems as soon as possible. ”
Of course, Qiao Ruihua also understood. You haven't been in Wuxi for a few days. I have not been in Wuxi for a long time. These are all issues left over from history. None of us is responsible. But they all have obligations. There is no need to tear each other down in such matters.
But now Qiao Ruihua doesn't want to talk to Yang Weiguo quickly. He said bitterly, "yes." We can wait. But the tens of thousands of workers in the steel plant can't wait. This mess is like a cancer. If you don't make up your mind to rip it off. It will bleed pus and sores. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to clean up. ”
"I just heard about it today. There are many retired veteran workers. He worked in a steel mill all his life as a revolutionary. dedicated his youth to his children and grandchildren. When I got old, I fell ill. But the factory has not reimbursed them for medical expenses for more than two years. Meantime. Employees in the factory. This year, I only got three months' salary. And it's not all full. Life is clumsy. It is said that there is an employee. Because there is no money to pay for the child's tuition. I was forced to almost jump into the river. We shout every day to serve the people. But this problem can't be solved. Isn't that a great irony? ”
"yes." Yang Weiguo was also very emotional. Knocked lightly on the table. He said decisively: "Promote the restructuring of enterprises in difficulty. Through a variety of effective ways to help enterprises out of the predicament. From top to bottom, it's the climate. We must urge the high-tech zone to speed up the work process as soon as possible. The restructuring of Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant will be implemented. ”
Qiao Ruihua groaned for a moment. said: "I think on the issue of the restructuring of the steel plant. We should also learn more and analyze more. That's the only way. The restructuring will not be loud. The rain is small. In order to go through, go practically, and go fast. It also walks in a standardized manner. ”
"Oh." Yang Weiguo's face froze. He asked with a smile: "It looks like you have a restructuring plan for the high-tech zone." Not very recognized. ”
"It's not disapproving either." Qiao Ruihua said: "The restructuring plan reported by the high-tech zone. Looks good. But I've been thinking about it for the past few days. Why is it necessary to introduce foreign enterprises to merge and acquire in the restructuring? In addition to selling state-owned assets at a low price. Are we really helpless? There is no better way. ”
Yang Weiguo said with a smile: "We have to solve the problem." The best approach is, of course, pragmatic and operational. Take the current situation in steel mills. We want to get them out of the predicament through government support. Not an easy task. Problems of the enterprise. Or should it be solved by market means. Mergers and acquisitions are emotionally difficult to accept. But it's not unacceptable. There are similar successful cases of restructuring in other places. There will definitely be labor pains of restructuring. But this kind of practice of daring to break the routine and dare to cross the thunder pool. But it can allow us to really revitalize the enterprise. Fundamentally solve the problem of steel plants. ”
"M&A is not the same as selling state-owned assets at a low price. Through restructuring. Not only have state-owned assets not increased in value. On the contrary, it has shrunk dramatically. What is the difference between this and giving favors to people with state-owned assets. It is clear that it is the practice of dividing up state-owned assets in the name of restructuring. It's no wonder that the workers at the steel mill are so resistant. Qiao Ruihuaping said this. There was some uncontrollable anger and indignation on his face.
"Mayor Qiao's words seem a bit alarmist." Yang Weiguo smiled slightly. He took a sip of water from his teacup. said lightly: "I have also seen the plan." Guoxing Group's acquisition of Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant was made with real money. It is not a matter of selling state-owned assets at a low price. Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. Last year, it was audited and evaluated by the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The current asset value is 700 million. The debt is as high as 1.1 billion. is seriously insolvent. In this case. Guoxing Group is willing to take over. And they are willing to take on all the debts of the steel plant. That's already pretty good. And the introduction of advanced management experience and production technology. Do not completely break the original pattern. Our restructuring is to exist in name only. ”
Speaking of which, in the end. Yang Weiguo glanced at Qiao Ruihua. said, "Of course. If only Mayor Joe had a better idea and approach. For the best, of course. Our Purpose. It's not just about finding a lower cost in comparison. Better results. Is it a solution that is more beneficial to both business and government? ”
"It's a bit of an immature idea. I want to communicate with Secretary Yang. Qiao Ruihua didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction in Yang Weiguo's words at all. Homeopathic said: "In my opinion. The reason why Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant has come to this day. The reasons are manifold. But the most fundamental point. It's not a human problem. It's that production equipment and technology can't keep up with the development situation. As long as we can give blood transfusions to the steel mills. Invest in upgrading and improving production equipment and technology. It's sure to rejuvenate the business. ”
Yang Weiguo said with a noncommittal smile: "What Mayor Qiao said is not unreasonable. As far as I know, though. Early last year. The city government once lent more than 70 million yuan to the bank. It is used for the renovation and support of steel plants. But what about the result. More than 70 million yuan was sunk into the sea. Not even a penny left. But the situation at the steel mills has not improved in any way. Now the bank comes to the door every day to ask for money. You say that the root cause of the steel mill is not a human problem. But in my opinion. It's a human problem. Don't completely change your thinking. No amount of money can fill this bottomless pit. ”
"Since we can't do it. You have to let it go. Leave it to the enterprise to do it boldly. It's a skill to break the rules. The courage to innovate is a realm. Guoxing Group has experience. There is technology. There are funds. There is also the market. His entry. It will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. I believe. It can also drive a series of upstream and downstream enterprises to rejuvenate together. In the process. Even a very small number of workers have their interests undermined. I think it's also acceptable. Reform will come without a price. As long as our government does a good job of dealing with the aftermath. All disadvantages can be minimized. ”
Qiao Ruihua shook his head and said, "Secretary Yang." I think you're a little too superstitious about these foreign-funded companies. True. These businesses have their own unique features. can be the essence of the enterprise. It determines their profit-seeking behavior. If it is unprofitable. Do not exploit the surplus value of the workers. How could they come all the way to our Wuxi? Of course. If they come to Wuxi to invest. We are, of course, raising our hands in favor. It is necessary to turn state-owned assets into private assets. In the name of restructuring. Theft of state assets. Secretary Yang. That's going to be scolded. ”
"As long as it can bring benefits to workers. It can bring fiscal revenue to the government. It can bring development to the local area. State-owned and privately owned. What does it matter? Besides. According to the scheme of the high-tech zone. We also hold a 49% stake. State-owned assets have not shrunk or depreciated. On the contrary, it will continue to increase in value as the enterprise regains new opportunities. In this way, we are responsible for state-owned assets. Rather than watching it get less and less. But he didn't dare to do anything. Yang Weiguo said-for-tat. He was previously the deputy mayor in charge of industry and investment attraction in a coastal city. It is known for its strong promotion of enterprise restructuring. There are more than 100 large and small state-owned enterprises that have led bankruptcy, closure, and transformation. Naturally, I don't take state-owned enterprises or state-owned enterprises so seriously.
Qiao Ruihua raised his eyes. He said earnestly: "Secretary Yang." It's dangerous for you to say that. State-owned assets. To dominate the economy. This is the country's major policy. We cannot simply sell off the state-owned enterprises that are in temporary difficulty. It can be solved by other means. Why do you have to choose to sell? Not to mention the vast number of workers. Even if it's me. I can't accept it in my heart. In case the workers make another disturbance. The consequences will be dire. ”
Yang Weiguo pondered for a moment. said, "Okay." Since Mayor Joe, you insist. Then come up with a specific plan. We'll talk about it in a few days. ”
Qiao Ruihua smiled. said, "Okay." I'm going to let people prepare. Come up with a plan that is most beneficial to all the workers in the steel plant. Strive to solve this stubborn problem once and for all. If successful. It can also be used as a model. Promote to other enterprises. ”
After Qiao Ruihua went out. Yang Weiguo rubbed his temples with a little headache. Of course he understood what Qiao Ruihua meant. He took advantage of the momentum of today's protests by the workers of the steel mills. It's high-sounding. It also occupies the commanding heights of morality in a high-sounding manner. Yang Weiguo couldn't say anything. But. He didn't believe that Qiao Ruihua could really come up with a better plan.
But you can't be sure. How could Qiao Ruihua be so enthusiastic and toss.
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. Yang Weiguo grabbed the phone on the table and dialed Lin Chendu's number. Angrily asked, "Twilight." Where are you now. What the. The gate of the municipal party committee and municipal government. Then why didn't you just ...... Hehe. You'd be able to think about it. That's right. There is no problem with Guoxing Group. That's fine. You hurry up and go to the Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant to have a look. What the hell is going on. I think there's something wrong. You. Keep a snack ......"
