Material Empire

"Xiao Qin, you have made a lot of noise these days."

In the office of the deputy governor of the Anhe provincial government, Chai Peide said to the visiting Qin Hai with a smile.

"Which thing is Governor Chai referring to?" Qin Hai asked with a smile. It wasn't that he was pretending to be stupid, but that he had tossed about too many things, and he really didn't know which thing Chai Peide was referring to. .

"Of course you made a fuss in Jinnan." Chai Peide said, "Good guy, it's all on China TV. Then, more than a dozen ministries and commissions of the country jointly issued a document asking all localities to strengthen environmental protection in the process of economic development. I heard that The central government is also planning to propose a one-vote veto system for environmental protection, regardless of the economic development level of each region, as long as the environmental protection standards are not met, the performance of the local government will be disqualified, which will put a curse on us.”

"Isn't this a good thing?" Qin Hai replied.

Qin Hai is aware of the situation that Chai Peide mentioned. That was after he reported the Jintang incident to Wang Hongsheng, Wang Hongsheng specially arranged for people to go to Jintang to investigate, and then submitted a report to the central government, and jointly launched a special report with China Television. The leaders of the central government attached great importance to this matter, and made a long comment in Wang Hongsheng's report, so more than a dozen ministries and commissions jointly issued a document.

"A good thing is a good thing." Chai Peide said, "Who doesn't want to have economic development and green mountains and green waters, just like the public service advertisement that your sister endorsed said that people and the environment will develop harmoniously. But environmental protection is It costs money. Provinces like our Anhe Province, whose economic development level is in the middle reaches of the country, have very tight investment in environmental protection, let alone those provinces with worse economic conditions. You don’t know, I have a meeting in Beijing At that time, what did the leaders from other provinces say?"

"How do you say it?" Qin Hai asked curiously.

Chai Peide imitated the appearance of other officials, and said: "When they saw me, they asked: Old Chai, I heard that Qin Hai is a model you raised? I said: Where is it? They also said: This Qin Hai has made us suffer. We finally introduced a few companies, which are just a little bit polluted. Now we don’t know how to deal with it. Or, you let your Qin Hai come to us. To invest and build a few non-polluting enterprises here is to give us a compensation."

"Uh... I owe them something?" Qin Hai pretended to have a bitter face and said, "Environmental protection law is a law formulated by the state, so what does it have to do with me? Besides, isn't improving the environment a part of people's livelihood? "

"You can't have your cake and eat it too." Chapeide concluded, he changed the subject, revealing his true intentions, and said, "You can't control the affairs of other provinces. Anhe is your hometown, and it was you who started it." You can’t just ignore the basics. Our province can strengthen pollution control, shut down polluting enterprises, or order them to rectify, but you, Chairman Qin, will be responsible for the losses caused.”

"How are you responsible?" Qin Hai asked.

Chai Peide stretched out a finger and said, "This year and next two years, invest at least 1 billion yuan in Anhe every year, and the results must be quick, jobs and profits can be generated in one or two years."

"One billion a year, and it will be effective immediately, Governor Chai, you are embarrassing me." Qin Hai said embarrassment, but the expression on his face was extremely relaxed, and there was no embarrassment at all. .

"Haha, I know, this matter may be embarrassing for others, but for you Xiao Qin, it's just a trivial matter. You Xiao Qin has never disappointed anyone." Chapeide said with a smile.

Chai Peide and Qin Hai are old acquaintances. At the earliest time, Qin Hai was just a young worker under Ning Zhongying, and Chai Peide was the dignified deputy mayor. He had the dignity of some elders and chiefs in front of Qin Hai, and most of his conversations with Qin Hai were taught and praised. tone. Over the years, Chai Peide watched Qin Hai grow from nothing to become the chairman of a large enterprise with assets exceeding tens of billions, and the psychological gap between him and Qin Hai narrowed unknowingly. Even today, although he still calls Qin Hai "Little Qin" one by one, he does not dare to treat Qin Hai as an ordinary subordinate or junior.

Qin Hai said a few words politely, then put away his teasing expression, and said to Chai Peide: "Governor Chai, you are right. Anhe is not only my hometown, but also the headquarters of Daqin Group. We should do more things for Anhe. Today and tomorrow Two years, with an annual investment of 1 billion yuan, this matter is difficult or difficult, and the key lies in what kind of support the province can give us."

Chai Peide knew that Qin Hai was going to talk about the real thing, so he also put away his smile and said seriously: "What kind of support do you need, feel free to ask, as long as it is in line with the policy, the province will definitely give you the green light."

"We want to merge Anhe Electric Factory, can the province agree?" Qin Hai asked bluntly.

"Anhe Electric Factory?" Chai Peide frowned, "Isn't your group engaged in materials? Why do you want to merge Anhe Electric Factory?"

Qin Hai didn't hide anything, he said: "We are planning to launch a new rare earth permanent magnet material recently, which is mainly used in the production of permanent magnet motors. We hope to invest no less than 1 billion yuan to improve its production capacity after merging Anhe Electric Factory. Production capacity, producing a full range of permanent magnet motors."

"Invest 1 billion yuan in Anhe Electric Factory!" Chapeide's eyes widened, "Do you know what the original value of Anhe Electric Factory's assets was?"

Qin Hai smiled slightly and said: "I know. The original value of Anhe Electric Factory's assets was about 200 million yuan, and the current value is no more than 50 million yuan. However, the factory's debts are also more than 40 million yuan, and the annual loss is more than 10 million yuan. If If the merger is not completed this year, the factory will be insolvent by next year."

"So, you came prepared? That is to say, even if I don't mention the matter of asking you to invest, you still have to mention the matter of the Anhe Electric Factory with me, is that so?" Chapeide calmed down at this time , he understood the purpose of Qin Hai's visit to him, and at the same time he became somewhat interested in Qin Hai's plan to annex Anhe Electric Factory.

Anhe Electric Factory was also a well-known large-scale state-owned enterprise in Anhe Province back then. Its products include various types of electric motors, and it has some technical strength. In the past few years, due to the lack of innovation in products and the lack of innovation in the products under the conditions of the market economy, the operation has become more and more difficult, and it has suffered losses for years. It has become a long-standing enterprise in Anhe Province.

As the deputy governor in charge of the economy, Chai Peide is naturally very familiar with Anhe Electric Factory. He has personally visited the factory several times and held meetings with the factory leaders to discuss ways to turn around losses. It's a pity that the leaders in the factory didn't have any self-motivation at all. When they saw the deputy governor coming, they just complained blindly, hoping that the province would give them money and policies, but they couldn't come up with any effective strategies to turn losses around.

At present, there are hundreds of thousands of loss-making state-owned enterprises like Anhe Electric Factory all over the country. The policy orientation of the state is to let these enterprises go to the market to make a living. The price is sold to foreign capital or private enterprises.

Anhe Province also thought about selling Anhe Electric Factory, and indeed some foreign businessmen came to negotiate. However, these foreign businessmen saw the embarrassment of Anhe Electric Factory, and the conditions they offered were very harsh. They hope to get the equipment and land of Anhe Electric Factory, but they are unwilling to bear the more than 40 million debts that Anhe Electric Factory currently bears. In addition, in terms of employee placement, the conditions of these foreign businessmen are also difficult to accept. If their conditions are followed, less than 500 people in Anhe Electric Factory will be able to stay, and the remaining 3,000 employees and thousands of retired workers will be lost. It's completely left to the government.

Because various conditions could not be negotiated properly, the sale of Anhe Electric Factory was shelved. Those foreign businessmen and private enterprises who intend to annex this company are not in a hurry. They plan to wait until the Anhe Electric Factory collapses a little bit before making a move. At that time, the price they have to pay will be even smaller.

Chai Peide has always worried about the affairs of Anhe Electric Factory. Once Ning Zhongying came to Hongze for business and came to visit Chai Peide on the way. Whether Sino-British intends to merge this enterprise. Chai Peide remembered that Ning Zhongying's answer at the time was that Daqin Group focused on material production and had little knowledge of motors, so it would not consider merging Anhe Electric Factory. Unexpectedly, when things turned around, Qin Hai actually came to the door to ask for a purchase.

"Hehe, Governor Chai, didn't you propose to our Factory Manager Ning that we want our Daqin Group to merge Anhe Electric Factory? We are also anxious for the leadership and want what the leadership thinks, so we reluctantly propose the acquisition. If Governor Chai thinks it's inappropriate, then just pretend that I, Xiao Qin, haven't been here." Qin Hai said, and put on an appearance that he was about to get up and leave.

Of course Chai Peide knew that Qin Hai was bluffing. Acquiring a company was not something that could be taken for granted. Since Qin Hai opened his mouth, it was naturally after careful consideration, and he would not change his mind just because of one or two words from Chai Peide.

However, despite this, after hearing Qin Hai's statement, Chapeide still had to make some gestures. He smiled and said, "Look at what you said, you are willing to solve problems for the province. This spirit is worth learning. Anhe Electric Factory is The key enterprises in the province have good quality employees, strong technical strength, and a certain brand awareness at home and abroad. We have always attached great importance to such enterprises.

If an ordinary company wants to merge Anhe Electric Factory, we will definitely not agree. However, if you Daqin wants to merge, we will definitely support it. Tell me, on what terms are you going to merge Anhe Electric Factory, and what are your plans after the merger? "
