Another worker stood up and said, "Director Lu, I've only been working for five years. I'm not as long as him. If I don't want to work in the coal mine, how much compensation can you give me?"
Lu Yiwei said with a clear mind, "You belong to the fourth category. Of course, there is a solution for this. The new company will give you a sum of compensation. As for the amount, there will be a special liquidation agency to verify it. "
A worker representative with a disability stood up and said, "What about my situation? I have made outstanding contributions to the company. You can't just leave me like this. "
Lu Yiwei said, "Your situation is a little special. We will definitely consider it. If you are willing to stay in the company after the restructuring, we will arrange a suitable position for you according to the relevant regulations. If you are not willing, we will follow the four categories mentioned above."
Most of the workers were still confused and did not know what he was talking about. At this moment, a young man stood up and said excitedly, "Director Lu, I am a permanent staff member. If we are dismissed just like this, how can I live?"
Lu Yiwei looked at Bai Yuxin and asked, "May I ask which department you are from?"
Tao Anguo, the mine manager, who was sitting on the podium, said, "This young man is from the engineering department. He graduated from Xijiang University and was recruited by the university three years ago. He is the technical backbone of our coal mine."
Hearing that he was from the same school, Lu Yiwei could not help but feel a little sympathy. They were both university students, but after graduating, he did not have the enthusiasm for the big city like others. Instead, he was willing to dedicate his youth to the barren mountains and rivers. This choice required a lot of courage. Thinking of his choice back then, Lu Yiwei was filled with emotions.
Lu Yiwei pushed his glasses up and said, "What's your name?"
The young man said timidly, "My name is Xiao Yang. I studied civil engineering in university."
Lu Yiwei continued, "Alright, Xiao Yang. To be honest, we are schoolmates, but I am from the Chinese department. Back then, I had the same dream as you. I fantasized about making a career, but in the end, I chose to go back to my hometown. This is the opposite of my dream. I can see that you also have a dream, and I'm very touched that you chose to come to Shuyang Coal Mine. Since you are an intellectual, I don't need to talk too much to you. Enterprise restructuring is irreversible, and you should be able to understand the significance of this decision. You have professional knowledge. I believe that as long as you choose to stay, the company will definitely put you in an important position after the restructuring. Are you satisfied with my answer? "
Tears welled up in Xiao Yang's eyes as he said, "Director Lu, since we're schoolmates, I have something to say in my heart. Just as you said, I have the knowledge and skills. Even if I'm fired, I can still survive. But have you ever thought about it? Most of the people in Shuyang Coal Mine are farmers nearby. They don't have any education, but they have endless strength. They've dedicated their lives to Shuyang Coal Mine. If you just let them be laid off like this, what ability do they have to survive? How are we going to feed our family? "
Bai Yuxin finally spoke, "Friend, your worries are what everyone else is worried about. Regarding this problem, we have repeatedly discussed and studied it, and we will give everyone a very good solution. Just as Director Lu said, there are four solutions and a form of shares. I feel that the County party committee and the county government are doing the best for the workers. Nanyang is poor, unlike the southern cities, which have a wide variety of enterprises. Therefore, it's very difficult to divert workers. Under the current circumstances, there are only these few solutions. As long as there is a better solution, we will spare no effort to think for the workers. Nanyang needs to develop, and what we are doing today is to push forward Nanyang's development step by step. I sincerely hope that everyone can understand the painstaking efforts of the County party committee and the county government. "
There was another silence, a bone-chilling silence.
After the meeting, everyone left without saying a word. They were like comrades who had to part ways. They knew that the day would come sooner or later. Instead of leaving tragically and sadly, it was better to quietly choose a way to leave in the future.
These days, Shuyang Coal Mine seemed to be infected with the plague. Every worker was listless and on edge. No one mentioned the restructuring, but they were thinking about it all the time. After all, it was related to their future. However, the strange thing was that they thought the workers would make a big fuss and even go above their level to appeal to the higher-ups, but such a thing did not happen.
It turned out that the mine manager, Tao Anguo, who was afraid of causing trouble, thought of a good idea. He said that if anyone dared to obstruct or destroy the restructuring, the new company would stop paying all kinds of insurance and pensions, and they would not be given priority in employment. This move was indeed effective. Everyone swallowed their anger and accepted this reality.
After the preliminary work was ready, Bai Yuxin and Lu Yiwei returned to the County party committee and reported the recent preparations to the County Head, Zhang Zhiyuan. After listening, Zhang Zhiyuan made the decision on the spot and said, "Start the restructuring of Shuyang Coal Mine!"
Very soon, the accounting and law firms hired from the Provincial Capital started working. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Finance Commission, and Audit Commission were all in place and started checking the assets. Just when everything was going smoothly, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and became a roadblock on the road to change.
It turned out that Shuyang Coal Mine had been insolvent for a long time and owed a lot of money. The largest was from the bank, and it was more than 20 million yuan. Not only that, when the companies that had business dealings with Shuyang Coal Mine heard that they were going to be restructured, more than ten companies popped up and blocked the door to ask for money.
The bank representative was very determined. "We can do the restructuring, but we must pay off all the loans. Otherwise, we have the right to sue Shuyang Coal Mine in court to protect our rights."
The other companies were also furious. "Shuyang Coal Mine owes us so much money. If we just do the restructuring, who are we going to ask for money in the future?"
These requests were all reasonable, and it was not appropriate to not solve them. Bai Yuxin had experienced the restructuring before, so he was very calm. He instructed the others. "Let's talk about it when it comes to it. The restructuring cannot be stopped. I will settle the rest." Bai Yuxin had a clear idea of the future direction of Shuyang Coal Mine. He was confident that he would succeed.
As for the distribution of shares, Lu Yiwei did not know how the county would decide. When he asked Bai Yuxin, he smiled and said, "There are some things that we cannot control. The final decision still needs the county to make. County Zhang will naturally have a solution for this."
A few days later, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared at Shuyang Coal Mine. Only then did Lu Yiwei know that this group of people was here to participate in the restructuring of the company. But what surprised him was that the leader of this group of people was his university classmate, Li Chunni.
As mentioned earlier, Li Chunni married a tycoon because she was pretty after graduating from university. She became a full-time wife and enjoyed the life of a noble. A person's life was always full of drama. There were too many uncertainties when it came to controlling the future.
Li Chunni was also surprised to see Lu Yiwei here. But there were others around, so she could only suppress her excitement and inspect the company. During the inspection, the two of them did not say a word, but they communicated with each other through their eyes.
In the following meeting, Lu Yiwei found out that Li Chunni was the CEO of a company called Baikang in the provincial capital. This was completely different from what he knew. Li Chunni was dressed in plain clothes and was very low-key. But from the quality of the fabric, it was quite high-class. She wore a sparkling jade necklace around her neck, platinum earrings on her ears, and a ring on her finger, which was inlaid with a huge diamond. At the same time, she was carrying a luxury bag in her hand. From the beginning to the end, it would cost at least a few hundred thousand yuan.
It was said that the outside world was exciting, but that was not the case. In Nanyang County, you might think that you were living a good life, but once you went out and compared yourself, you would realize that you were just a country bumpkin. That bit of money was not worth mentioning in front of others. From this point of view, Li Chunni was undoubtedly successful.
Li Chunni, who was wearing heavy makeup, had an extraordinary way of talking. She asked a few key questions, and all of them were of a high standard. After getting a satisfactory answer, she left the rest to her subordinates. She sat there and peeked at Lu Yiwei, who was sitting at the side, uneasily. Lu Yiwei could feel the warmth from Li Chunni. But in this kind of situation, Lu Yiwei deliberately avoided eye contact and "focused" on listening to County Head Zhang Zhiyuan's speech.
During the meeting, both parties exchanged opinions, and the other party proposed a relatively harsh cooperation proposal. They wanted to fully acquire Shuyang Coal Mine and promised to repay all debts. At the same time, the county should show the greatest sincerity. Not only did they want to reduce the land fees, but they also wanted to reduce the taxes as much as possible.
Of course, Zhang Zhiyuan did not agree. His opinion was that the taxes could be reduced, but the land fees could not be reduced by a single cent. In addition, the county must own 35% of the shares of Shuyang Coal Mine.
This proposal was strongly opposed by the other party. They thought that they could sign the cooperation proposal today, but both parties refused to give in, so they could only stop the negotiation. As the county, of course, they did not want the "God of Fortune" that they had painstakingly invited to fly away. They could only change the topic and invite them to the county to hold a banquet to welcome them.
Regarding the company's visit, Zhang Zhiyuan had reported in advance to Deputy Mayor Su Qiming. But when Su Qiming heard that it was a small, unknown company, he put on airs and used other work as an excuse to ask Zhang Zhiyuan to accompany them.
At the banquet, even though Zhang Zhiyuan showed great sincerity, the other party still did not give in and insisted on his own opinion. The negotiation was on the verge of collapse. In the end, both parties agreed to find another time to sit down and discuss in detail, and the negotiation ended on bad terms.
