There was finally news from the Nanyang Canning Factory. Manager Lu of the non-staple food processing factory finally relented. 7 million yuan, not a penny less. After Li Haidong reported the matter to Lu Yiwei, Lu Yiwei could accept the price. He was ready to meet the greedy and lecherous Manager Lu in person.
Under the arrangement of Li Haidong, the meeting place was chosen at a high-end hotel in Nanzhou City. After Manager Lu and Lu Yiwei met, they did not show much surprise. Instead, they smiled and said, "Yiwei, they say that you are a person who can do great things. From the beginning, I knew that you were behind the scenes. Seeing you today, it is true. Haha."
Lu Yiwei laughed and said, "Li Haidong is my brother. If his company wants to develop, I should naturally do my best. It seems that I have nothing to do with it, right?"
"Haha …" Manager Lu hit Lu Yiwei's chest and said, "Don't play dumb with me. With your little tricks, I can definitely see the soles of your feet from the top of my head. But you can rest assured that we are only talking about friendship. As for cooperation, I will only talk to Haidong Company. "
Lu Yiwei smiled but didn't say anything. Manager Lu was a smart person. After the table was seated, Cao Xiaolei, who was following behind, said, "Director Lu, it seems that this is the first time we have drunk together?"
Cao Xiaolei's intention was obvious. It was to tell Lu Yiwei that he did not betray him. Lu Yiwei smiled indifferently and said, "I didn't drink, but I almost got beaten up because you blocked the mayor's door. Haha."
Cao Xiaolei looked surprised and scratched his head. "It turns out that Director Lu still holds a grudge. When did it happen? You still remember it. Today's meal is on me. Take it as an apology."
Manager Lu said with relish, "Xiaolei, speaking of this, I have to say a few words about you. Director Lu is an upright person. After so many years, when have you heard any rumors about Yiwei's relationship with men and women? No! Not one bit! Your wife sprained her ankle. He was kind enough to take care of her for you, but you're biting the hand that feeds you. Aren't you a little too petty? "
Cao Xiaolei quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Manager Lu's criticism is right. I was petty, but it's all Wei Guoqiang's fault. He asked someone to call me when he didn't know what was going on. I was so angry at that time that the following things happened. But I really have to thank that. If it wasn't for that, Director Lu and I probably wouldn't even know each other now. Now we've become sworn friends. Don't you think this is fate? "
"Haha …" Manager Lu laughed heartily and nodded. "That's right. Life is like a drama. It's just so coincidental. However, everything is about luck. This fully shows that Yiwei doesn't care about you. He's a man of character. As a matter of fact, he let bygones be bygones. He transferred your wife from the township to the Creation Defense Command and handed her over to you. You probably wouldn't be able to do it even if you were exhausted, right? "
"Yes, yes, yes. In that case, I really should thank Director Lu. Let's not talk about anything else. Today, I want to have a drink with Director Lu." Cao Xiaolei said gratefully.
After the meal was served, the topic naturally shifted to the canning factory. Manager Lu said, "Yiwei, you should know the current situation of the non-staple food processing factory in the government office. It should have closed down long ago! The leaders of the county have talked to me many times and asked me to come up with a way to put this matter on the agenda as soon as possible. But this matter is not easy. Let's not talk about other things. Let's talk about the employees. There are hundreds of workers in the processing factory. If it closes down, where do I arrange for them? This is the biggest headache. Now, the processing factory basically doesn't have any income. It basically relies on the existing storefront rental to maintain. Even so, it's not enough to pay for the employees' pension insurance, let alone wages. It hasn't been paid for several years. The employees also know the current situation. In the beginning, they were clamoring for wages. But now, they have basically stopped. They are praying that the processing factory can pay for their pension insurance now.
"Back to the canning factory. This subsidiary company was established in 1979. At that time, it was very popular. It can be said to be the signboard of Nanyang. At its peak, it had more than 200 employees. But now, it can't keep up with the situation. Secondly, there is no technical support. Thirdly, the raw material supply is insufficient. It can't be compared to the canning factory in Dongzhou City. The decline of the canning factory is inevitable. Since I took over, it has been a mess. In 1998, two-thirds of the employees were laid off, and the production has been stopped for many years.
"This is how our lives should be. How am I supposed to clean up a mess? I can't just ignore it. At this time, Hai Dong came to me and wanted to buy over the canning factory. I thought about it for a long, long time. In the end, I agreed to get rid of this burden. Up until now, we have a preliminary agreement. Did Hai Dong discuss this with you? "
After listening to Manager Lu's complaints, Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "Basically, I don't have any opinions. However, Hai Donglai has to make the final decision. He is the legal representative of the company. I can't make the decision."
Manager Lu saw that Lu Yiwei still refused to admit that he was the legal representative of the company. She shook her head. "Yiwei, you are not honest. Even now, you still refuse to tell the truth. If this is the case, I don't think there is any need to continue this discussion." After that, she pretended to get up and leave.
Lu Yiwei grabbed Manager Lu and said, "Manager Lu, this is not about the truth. Is it important who is the legal representative?"
Manager Lu raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Of course not. But I want to know who is negotiating with me."
Lu Yiwei rolled his eyes and said, "Since Manager Lu said so, then I will tell the truth. The one buying the canning factory is not Hai Dong, nor is it me. It is someone else. As for who it is, you don't need to know."
Manager Lu was enlightened. "That's what I said! Let me put it bluntly. I believe that you, Lu Yiwei, have millions in your hands. But I don't believe that you can take out millions in one go. Alright, since the other party has entrusted this matter to you, then I will talk to you! "
After brushing Manager Lu off, Lu Yiwei said, "Manager Lu, let's talk about the conditions."
Manager Lu glanced at Cao Xiaolei, and Cao Xiaolei immediately understood. He cleared his throat and said, "Director Lu, let me put it this way. Buying a cannery is a big deal. It's not like buying cabbages on the streets. There are a lot of interests involved. First, the land department. You have to transfer the land use certificate. Next, you have to go through the city construction department. Third, you have to satisfy all the requirements of the employees. Lastly, the county. You have to get the County Mayor's signature. This will be a lot of work. "
"Let's not talk about other things. Let's focus on the benefits of the workers. If you want all the workers to agree, you must show your sincerity and let them accept this fact. The most direct example is the pension insurance. You will have to pay for it on their behalf. Also, the factory belongs to the collective, and everyone owns it. You will have to give them an explanation. There are 56 workers in the canning factory, and each of them will be compensated 100,000 RMB. That's 5.6 million RMB. As for the land, the market price is 6,000 RMB per mu, and 100 mu will cost 600,000 RMB. Also, this is mature land. You have underestimated this price. Also, a series of procedures, gifts, and favors will cost another 1 million RMB. It's not even enough. There are still some miscellaneous matters that need to be settled, and it will cost at least 1 million RMB. Manager Lu's offer of 7 million RMB is not expensive at all. You have gotten a bargain. "
Lu Yiwei quickly calculated in his mind. He knows that this Manager Lu is a shrewd person, and he might be able to get a lot of commission from this deal. Nodding his head, Lu Yiwei replied, "I'm a straightforward person, and I will not bargain with you on the price. I will give you whatever you want, not a single cent less than 7 million RMB. But since this is a cooperation, I also have my conditions. "
"Alright, tell me your conditions!" When Manager Lu heard how straightforward Lu Yiwei was, his heart was throbbing with excitement. No matter what, he must not let this' God of Fortune 'fly away.
Lu Yiwei's thoughts were clear as he replied, "Firstly, we must conduct a staff meeting and obtain their approval. Everyone must sign the contract, and this is a matter of principle. If you can't do it, then there's no room for discussion. Furthermore, there must not be any falsification, and I will not be responsible for any conflicts in the future. "
"Don't worry about this. The canning factory's employees already have this thought, and they will definitely be overjoyed if they get the money." Manager Lu immediately replied.
"Secondly, the canning factory's debts must be cleared before the contract is signed. This is also a crucial issue, and I don't want to be in a mess after I take over." Lu Yiwei continued.
"You don't have to worry about this. The canning factory only owes over ¥300,000, and it will be cleared before the contract is signed." Manager Lu guaranteed.
Nodding his head, Lu Yiwei continued, "Thirdly, you will be in charge of all the procedures, and I will not ask about it. Don't even think of getting the County Head to sign it. I can tell you right now that it's impossible! I have never made any request to County Head Zhang, can you do it? "
Manager Lu was also an influential figure in Nanyang County, and he had his way with relationships. "I can also agree to this. I will get Xiaolei to handle all the procedures, and I will personally resolve any problems. I guarantee that I won't trouble you."
"Alright, that's all." Lu Yiwei suddenly thought of something and added, "That's right! We must get the contract notarized to prevent any future problems. "
Hearing Lu Yiwei's cautiousness, Manager Lu squinted his eyes and smiled. "Chief Lu is indeed the secretary of the Mayor. You are meticulous and meticulous. Sure, we will do as you say!"
