Not long ago, on the playground, Gu Wenyuan threatened that Ji Su would cry and beg him, but two days later, Mu Zechen came to tell him that Ji Zheng was missing and seemed to be involved in another case. It would take time to investigate, so he asked him to wait a few more days. A few days later, the night before yesterday, Mu Zechen suddenly came to the villa in person and said that Ji Zheng's case seemed to be suspicious, and Minghua Group should not be too deeply involved, so he asked him to let it go. Gu Wenyuan lost his temper, and Mu Zechen was helpless, and he couldn't bring up Gu Shitong to pressure him, so he finally agreed to do his best.
Gu Wenyuan didn't think it was a big deal. Ji Zheng was just a small deputy factory director. With the strength of the Gu family in Qingzhou, they could throw three tons of sewage on him. The key was whether Mu Zechen was serious or not. He had a lot of respect for this number one figure under his father, but after all, he was just a family servant, so his respect was extremely limited.
After Wen Liang and the others left, Gu Wenyuan, who was so angry that his brain was burning, immediately called Mu Zechen and shouted, "No matter what method, find Ji Zheng. I must see him in prison, now, immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, there was a hint of worry in Mu Zechen's eyes. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then pressed a few very familiar numbers on the phone. When he pressed the last "6", his finger stopped in the air.
After a few minutes of hesitation, Mu Zechen slowly put down the receiver.
However, the reality is so ironic that if he had made this call, it might have changed the outcome of certain things.
On Saturday morning, Wen Liang and Li Shengli went to the hospital to pick up Tan Xue, and the three of them took a taxi straight to No. 19 Middle School. The East District is still very desolate, with a much wider view than the city center. There are few high-rise buildings, and the residential buildings are mainly bungalows and two-story buildings. The roads are narrow, but they are fairly smooth. Many shops have just been built on both sides of several main roads. The coming and going of people also reveals a bit of vigor and vitality and the atmosphere of an upcoming rise.
Farther away, the harvested fields were like women without makeup, lacking beauty. Stacks of straw were everywhere, and from time to time, burning straw emitted black smoke, and the sky turned gray in an instant. Li Shengli turned his head from the passenger seat and complained: "In summer and autumn, there are always fires everywhere in the East District. Sometimes the thick smoke can cover the entire sky. Many people have respiratory diseases because of this. Alas, when will the government pay attention to it and stop people from burning straw?"
In the minds of Qingzhou people in 1995, the East District was still a suburb. Little did they know that one or two years later, it would become one of the most prosperous areas in Qingzhou and even in Jiangdong. Wen Liang smiled and said, "You are really concerned about the country and the people, and you have thought about it before the central government. Don't worry, this problem will be solved sooner or later. However, farmers work hard to farm, and the piles of straw must go somewhere. If they are not allowed to burn, what should we do?"
Li Shengli thought for a while, but still had no answer, so he laughed: "If I had a way, I would have been the municipal party secretary a long time ago. Why would I get up early and work late, and work so hard?"
Wen Liang shook his head and sighed, "You, don't let Xu Yao hear this. If you want to usurp the throne, drag him out and chop him off as soon as possible..."
Tan Xue's pretty eyes turned around the two of them, and she felt very strange. She had met Li Shengli once before, and it was he who went to the hospital to give 2,000 yuan two days ago. Tan Xue always thought that Li Shengli was Wen Liang's elder, but he was very respectful to Wen Liang when he spoke, completely equal and even humble. However, Tan Xue was a peaceful person, and although she felt strange, she didn't ask any questions.
After getting off the bus near No. 19 Middle School, Li Shengli took Wen Liang and Tan Xue directly to a newly built storefront. The area was twice that of the Bayi Store, but the rent was much cheaper than that store, only 2,000 yuan a year, and it could be paid in quarterly installments. The three of them looked around, and Wen Liang made the decision on the spot, signing a three-year agreement and paying one year's rent first.
Tan Xue finally understood that Wen Liang seemed to be the boss of this Qinghe soy milk shop, and he was the one who made all the decisions and plans. So when Wen Liang gave her some advice on the decoration later, Tan Xue was much calmer, listened carefully, and kept it in mind.
"Specifically, it's bright and soft, highlighting the fashionable and grand style. I will find a professional decoration team to come over in the next two days. Sister Tan, please take care of it here."
Tan Xue nodded and said nervously, "It's not that hard, but I have no experience in catering. If you suddenly ask me to run a store, I... I'm afraid I can't do it well."
"At the beginning, Uncle Li would come over more often to check on you. If you have any questions, just ask him. Don't worry, running a store is both difficult and easy. We have an operating charter that covers everything from operations to management. As long as we strictly follow the charter, there won't be any major problems."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Qinghe's ultimate goal is to realize a fool-proof way of opening a store. Anyone with healthy limbs and an IQ above ten years old can build a successful life according to the Qinghe model."
Li Shengli's eyes lit up: "This can be used as our promotional slogan, but it needs to be modified..."
Tan Xue took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and said: "I will try my best and will not let you down!"
On Sunday, the decoration team recommended by An Baoqing started construction. The construction drawings were the result of Wen Liang and three designers' repeated research, and they are definitely leading the trend of this era. Tan Xue personally took care of everything, from the purchase of decoration materials to the whereabouts of a screw. He stayed at the site every day except for sleeping and even eating. His disheveled appearance startled Wen Liang and Li Shengli who came to check on him from time to time.
Tan Xue started her first job in Qinghe Group seriously. Who could have thought that this girl would reach a position that would amaze many people in the near future.
While Wen Liang was preparing to open the second store, Qinghua Factory also came to the end of its life. This enterprise, which had brought countless glory and memories to Qingzhou over the past few decades, was about to usher in its most tragic appearance.
Monday, October 30th.
After nearly a year of planning, Qinghua Plant officially declared policy-based bankruptcy. The so-called policy-based bankruptcy means that the state implements policy protection for bankrupt state-owned enterprises, stipulates the identification of bankruptcy property, the order of debt repayment, and provides a large amount of financial support to enable it to exit the market smoothly. To put it bluntly, the enterprise loses money and the state finances pay for it!
During this year, countless hidden activities were born in the reflection of light and darkness. According to the relevant requirements of the Bankruptcy Law of 1986 and the Optimization of Capital Structure Plan adopted by the State Council Document No. 59 in 1994, Qingzhou, as one of the 18 pilot cities, must obtain the consent of the mayor's office and relevant departments such as the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission and the Planning Commission for the policy-based bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises. Then, the departments and units such as finance, banking, labor, audit, taxation, state-owned assets management, land, and trade unions will participate and set up a working body for unified coordination.
Just the first step is so difficult, which shows how powerful Zhou Yuanting is in Qingzhou. If Xu Fuyan had not formed an alliance with Zuo Jing through Wen Liang, he would be helpless even if he had the means to turn the world upside down.
The next step was to audit whether the company was making losses and whether it had any unpayable debts due. After the active efforts of accounting experts from the finance, audit and other departments, the Qinghua Factory, with total assets of 700 million yuan, was audited to have negative assets of more than 300 million yuan.
This provided data support for Zhou Yuanting's attempt to force the Qinghua Plant into bankruptcy, but in fact, its greater role was to create the most favorable conditions for Fan Hengan to take over next.
In order to achieve the goal of low-price transfer, further debt divestiture is needed. As the largest creditor, the state-owned bank must apply to the Merger and Bankruptcy Office under the State Economic and Trade Commission to obtain the debt write-off quota of the capital structure optimization plan, so as to write off the huge amount of loans to Qinghua Plant as bad debts.
For this policy alone, on December 31, 2009, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission issued the "Notice on Summarizing the Work of Policy-based Closure and Bankruptcy of State-owned Enterprises", which summarized the amount of bad debts written off through policy-based bankruptcies in the reform of state-owned enterprises over the past 13 years. The number is staggering - 387.2 billion yuan.
Where did the money go? The most widely circulated saying in later generations is: The reform of state-owned enterprises in the 1990s was the pain of the country, but also a grand feast of wealth and opportunities for private enterprises!
From the perspective of a prophet, the reforms that were strongly promoted in the mid-1990s to achieve a soft landing of the economy were the ideas and policies of the top leaders that were more suitable for the Republic under the current social background, but unfortunately, they were not the most suitable for the Republic. With the extremely developed wisdom of finding bugs, countless adventurers made a lot of wealth from the loopholes in the policies, while those who should have been properly resettled began another life.
It is ridiculous and lamentable that the top leads but the bottom does not follow the lead!
After the Qinghua Plant declared bankruptcy in the morning, before everyone had recovered from the shock, after a short lunch break, at 1:00 p.m., in the Peony Hall on the second floor of the Minghua Hotel, Mayor Zhou Yuanting, Deputy Mayor Liu Sheng in charge of industry, Director of the Economic and Trade Commission Jiang Dongping, Director of the Planning Commission Tang Kuan, Director of the Qinghua Plant Yuan Dazhui, and the main leaders of the Finance Bureau and the bank attended the signing ceremony for the acquisition of the Qingzhou Chemical Plant by Antai Industrial Co., Ltd.
Antai Industry is affiliated to Fan Hengan’s Antai Group!
Zhou Yuanting made a speech at the ceremony, emphasizing that the municipal government has clarified the specific use of the transfer amount in the form of a red-headed document, and will give priority to the resettlement of Qinghua Factory employees. Through a series of practical solutions, several major issues that employees are more concerned about will be thoroughly resolved, such as economic compensation, management of retired personnel, continuation of various social insurance relations, handling of serious illnesses and work-related injuries, and wage arrears for employees.
At the same time, the municipal government will take various measures such as job transfer training, job introduction, self-help production, and labor export to properly arrange for the re-employment of employees of bankrupt enterprises and encourage the majority of employees to find their own way out. … ”
He said a lot of nonsense, but he didn't mention why the details of retaining and rehiring the original employees were not involved in the negotiations with Antai Industry. And the transfer amount was only 7 million!
Yuan Dazhu and Fan Hengan signed their names on the contract, and the audience burst into warm applause. Just when everyone thought that this acquisition would end perfectly, a group of people pushed the door open and walked in.
