After school, I called Zuo Yuxi and learned that she had just returned from Yunshui. Xu Fuyan was hosting a banquet tonight to entertain Yan Jize, and she was going to attend, so I didn't ask much. But from her tone, the efforts of the two of them last night were not in vain. Yan Jize was very interested in the proposal with detailed content and perfect measures, and he could even say that he praised it highly.
Given the character of the King of Hell, it is not easy to listen to him praising someone!
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang leaned against a roadside electric pole, thinking about which task to deal with first. He was quite busy now, and sometimes his mind would become dull and confused when all the tasks were intertwined. Whenever this happened, he would eagerly hope to have a capable secretary to help him arrange everything.
Of course, having a secretary do things when there is something to do and having a secretary do things when there is nothing to do is just the vulgar taste of some shameless middle-aged uncles. As Uncle Wen is, he naturally disdains to be in the same boat with them.
The cell phone started beeping. Wen Liang looked at the name and a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that he had an answer to what to do next.
"Director Ji, hello..."
Although the equity swap agreement had been signed long ago, such a sensitive transaction still made all parties involved cautious, striving to make the cooperation less controversial and less risky in the future. So during the month that Wen Liang was away from Beijing, Ji Zheng, on behalf of Xinxing Chemical, had been discussing specific cooperation matters with Qingtou and Qinghua Plant, from the sharing of equipment, manpower, and scientific research resources by both parties, to the composition of shareholders' meetings and management, to the establishment of communication mechanisms and permanent departments. The rules and regulations, every aspect, were extremely complicated.
In the gradually mature market system of later generations, any issue involving joint ventures between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises would be a matter of endless disputes, not to mention in this era of crossing the river by feeling the stones? Hua Zhishao led her consulting team to travel between Guanshan and Qingzhou every day. It is said that she changed tires four times a month and was in a bad mood. Every time she called, she quarreled with Wen Liang to increase the share ratio, protesting that the salary was not enough to cover the efforts.
However, He Xihua had been lured over step by step by Wen Liang a while ago, and he had made a lot of efforts in front of and behind people. In addition, Xu Fuyan had personally promised Wen Liang, the city's support was very strong, and Wen Huaiming of Qingtou mediated. The new director of Qinghua Factory, Lu Jie, was also an old subordinate of Ji Zheng, and had a strong willingness to cooperate and full of sincerity. Therefore, all parties worked together. Although the road was rugged and difficult, fortunately, there were green lights all the way. In a month, there was already a prototype of cooperation that looked like a real thing. Under the current institutional constraints, it was extremely fast!
After all the hard work, they came to this point. Recalling the past, Ji Zheng, Hua Zhishao, Wen Huaiming and other people who knew the whole thing suddenly realized why Wen Liang had gone to such great lengths to lay out such a big plan. Of course, he was preparing for a rainy day and had long anticipated this situation. That's why he used Xinxing Factory to tie up He Xihua, used Linzhuang Reservoir to put pressure on Xu Fuyan, used Wen Huaiming to guide Qingtou's sight and direction, used Ji Zheng and Lu Jie, a pair of good friends, to achieve zero docking, and used Hua Zhishao's McKinsey background and expertise to promote the integration of the two sides.
So, step by step, he finally pulled the Qinghua Factory, which neither Gu Shitong nor Fan Hengan could get involved in, into his camp, leaving others speechless and convinced.
Each of his steps seemed unintentional, but in fact was extremely clever, like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace. There were so many schemes and calculations involved, and if you savor them carefully, it's chilling.
Although Wen Liang was in the capital, he would call Ji Zheng and Hua Zhitiao every two days. He was well aware of all the matters and had everything under control.
At the same time, the final restructuring plan of Qinghua Plant was approved by the Provincial Planning Commission, the Department of Finance, and the State-owned Assets Management Bureau, and was also reported to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government for study and approval. This leading chemical enterprise, which was once brilliant but almost dying, and caused a great storm from Qingzhou to Lingyang and then to Guanshan within a year, finally cut off the enterprise system of the post-planned economy era that lasted for decades, and began to carry out in-depth and comprehensive reforms under the leadership of Qingtou. By initially establishing a modern enterprise system, realizing the separation of government and enterprises, introducing a shareholding system, reforming the labor, personnel and distribution systems, stimulating the subjective initiative and creativity of enterprises, and establishing and improving supervision mechanisms and perfecting reward and punishment methods, it attempts to find a way to rebirth in a swamp full of thorns.
Qingtou has clarified its status as a state-owned asset investment entity with its 50% equity, and has implemented equity management of the state-owned assets in the restructured Qinghua Plant in accordance with the law - this is very important. It can be said that in this very distinctive country, if you want to do things, and do big things, you must first ensure that the color cannot be changed, or when it is necessary to change, you must try to change it as gently as possible, without making a sound.
Xinxing Factory exchanged 5% of its equity for 15% of Qinghua Factory's shares. Excluding the 5% held by the management and the 0% subscribed by employees, it has actually become the second largest shareholder and has sufficient say in Qinghua Factory.
The reason why Ji Zheng made this call tonight was for the so-called right to speak.
It should be noted that after the promulgation of the Company Law in 1999, it underwent three large-scale revisions in 1999, 2004, and 2005. Of the 219 articles in 13 chapters, only 20 articles remained unchanged, and the rest were added, deleted, and amended. It can be said that it was basically pushed back to start over, and only then did the later Company Law have a more rigorous legislative system and legal structure. But even so, when it comes to the huge monster of state-owned enterprises, there are still many implicit or implicit rules that affect the implementation and execution of the Company Law.
Not to mention that it is only 1996, the Company Law is just a framework, and the reform of state-owned enterprises has just begun. How to safeguard one's legitimate rights and interests in cooperation, and even to compete for the right to speak at certain decisive moments, has become an issue that needs to be highly valued.
Wen Liang has considered this issue. Whether for his own interests or for the development of the Qinghua Factory, he needs enough power to influence the decision-making of the Qinghua Factory.
After agreeing on a place with Ji Zheng, Wen Liang called Wen Huaiming again. After a while, the call was connected and he asked, "Are you busy? Are you going to the dinner party for Yan Jize tonight?"
Wen Huaiming was obviously busy, and he was too lazy to ask where Wen Liang got the news. He said, "I'm going to invite the heads of the four major banks to dinner tonight, so Secretary Xu won't be attending. By the way, where are you now? You're getting more and more outrageous. You've been gone for more than a month without even calling. Your mother is furious. Be careful when you go home."
Speaking of this, Wen Liang immediately got a headache. No matter how powerful he was outside, he was still powerless in front of Ding Mei. He said with a bitter face: "Dad, please help me, what time can you get away? I'll wait for you to come back together..."
Wen Huaiming chuckled and said, "I can't help you with this. You figure it out yourself. I'm busy here. Just tell me what's going on. It's rare for you to call me. You're not afraid of being beaten by your mother, are you?"
Wen Liang also smiled, knowing that he could not hide his thoughts from his father, and said: "Ji Zheng is treating us to dinner tonight, how about we kill him?"
Wen Huaiming pondered for a while and said, "Tell me the address. I'll go there after I accompany the people from the four major banks. You two can eat first and don't have to wait for me!"
On the way to the hotel, the sky suddenly darkened. Thick clouds covered most of the sky. Within a few minutes, it began to rain heavily, and for a while, we couldn't even see the road clearly.
Such heavy rains are rare in April. Wen Liang drove slowly. Qingzhou's infrastructure was not very good. Once it rained too quickly, the road would be seriously flooded. Not being able to see the road conditions clearly was not a big deal. The most feared thing was that the manhole covers would be washed away, and accidents would happen if one was not careful.
After turning a crossroad, through the rain curtain, one could see the huge gold-plated letters on the roof of a building: Songlan Clothing City. Wen Liang had been here once before when he accompanied Ding Mei to choose a store. It was raining so hard today that he turned several times and passed by Songlan without noticing. Just as he was thinking about whether to stop by to see Ding Mei, a girl rushed into the rain from the gate and was instantly soaked. Three or four men ran out from behind her. They chased after her for a few steps, but when they saw that the rain was too heavy, they retreated. One of them yelled at the girl from behind, "You can't make it to the fifteenth if you run away on the first day. I'll count to three. If you don't come back obediently, I'll go upstairs and smash the shop that your little sister just opened!"
The girl had already run far away, only two or three steps away from Wen Liang's car, but she didn't notice the car, let alone the people in it. When she heard the man's words, she stopped abruptly, turned her head and let the rain hit her face, and shouted: "If you have anything to say, come to me. If you dare to touch my sister, I will fight you to the death!"
The man spat at her and said obscenely, "With your thin body, you can only serve men in bed. Fighting hard? You are not worthy! I will count to three. Do you think I dare to smash it? One, two..."
The girl's back was shaking all the time, her hands tightly clasped together, and when the man was about to say "three", she stomped her feet and said, "Okay, I'll go with you..."
The window of Daqie was opened, and Wen Liang's gentle voice was like thunder into the girl's ears: "Stand still, let them smash it!"
The girl was completely stunned, and she turned her back to Wen Liang, not moving at all.
"three!"
The man pointed his index finger at the girl and laughed, "Alright, you know whores are disloyal. I'm going to smash your sister's store and show her what a heartless person you are!"
He waved his hand, and a group of people walked into the building fiercely. The girl stomped her feet again and prepared to go back. Wen Liang spoke again: "Bemi, stand still!"
The girl turned around suddenly. Her wet body was curvy and not as graceful as she should be at her age. Her face was pale and a few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks. The rain was pouring down.
"Who are you? Why do you care about me?" (To be continued)
