Li He asked, "So you're saying that we're the second largest shareholder?"
Jin Lin and Qi Hua nodded in unison and replied, "Yes."
Li He asked, "What did the city say? Did they raise any objections? After all, we're the major shareholders. They can't ignore our opinions. "
Qi Hua said, "We only met with the leaders of the factory. As for the leaders of the city, we didn't see any of them. According to the news, they're still in a meeting, but there might be a result soon. That's because some leaders have already gone to Fujita Machinery Co., Ltd to inspect it and they're very satisfied with the results. Now that Four Sands has stopped production for more than a year, the workers are making a lot of noise."
"Fujita?" Li He felt that he had heard of this name before. He continued to ask, "You didn't convey the intention of our Dida Group to acquire it?"
He was more dissatisfied with these two people. They didn't even get in touch with the leaders of the city. This matter was not handled well.
"According to CEO Guo's instructions, I've been to Zichuan five or six times in the past year, but every time I went to the city government, I couldn't meet the main leaders. Even when I went to the Asset Management Bureau, I was stopped," Qi Hua said shamefully and nervously.
Li He was bored to death as he lit a cigarette and asked, "Did you find out why this Japanese Benzene company is so important in the city? Did this Japanese company offer some good conditions? "
Qi Hua said, "The terms they offered weren't good, and could even be considered harsh. They don't intend to fully acquire Four Sands, nor are they going to take over Four Sands' debts and employees. They want to form a joint venture with Four Sands. They'll sell all the products produced by the joint venture, and they'll take about 3% of the technical commission."
"They can accept this kind of agreement?" Li He couldn't help but sneer. There was once a home appliance company in Wuxi that was scammed by Panasonic, and it wasn't just one or two companies. It was simply too many to count.
Qi Hua cleared his throat and said, "Fujita Machinery Co., Ltd. isn't big. It has about fifty to sixty employees, and its annual output is about two hundred million. It's a typical medium-sized company, but it's backed by the Japanese Fujita Group, which is one of the top ten chaebols in Japan and also one of the world's top 500 companies. If Zichuan can have a top 500 company …"
"Alright, I understand now." Li He sighed. The political considerations were more important than the economic ones.
And Fujita?
Now, he finally remembered!
Weren't the things in Old Zhu's hands snatched from them?
Enemies really do not meet each other!
The weather gradually became colder. In recent days, it had been gloomy and gloomy. No one knew where the sun had hidden itself, giving people an oppressive feeling.
What was even more depressing was that every day, there would be a large number of workers blocking the entrance of the Four Sands factory. Some were holding banners, some were shouting slogans. They were simply asking for their wages and to go back to work.
Among the onlookers, there was no lack of people throwing stones and smashing windows. It was a complete mess.
The police were mobilized, and the entire city was under martial law. The traffic in Luoyang City was basically paralyzed.
Li He wasn't in a hurry to meet anyone in the past few days. He wandered around and roughly figured out the situation.
The best hotel in Zichuan was called Haitian Hotel. It was only four stories high and was a joint venture between China and Hong Kong. From eating to karaoke, it was a one-stop service.
At this moment, Li He was sitting in the private room of the hotel, drinking tea leisurely.
"Director Li, Factory Manager Zhao is here." Qi Hua brought a person to the door. He smiled and said to the person, "Factory Manager Zhao, this is our Director Li."
"Hello, Factory Manager Zhao. I've heard a lot about you." Li He stood up and extended his hand.
This Factory Manager Zhao was in his forties. He was tall and had a horse-like face. He didn't look at Li He, nor did he have any intention of shaking hands with Li He. Instead, he looked around the private room. "Aiya, I haven't been here in a long time."
"You must be joking." Li He's hand was raised awkwardly in mid-air. It had been a long time since someone had humiliated him like this. However, he didn't mind and pointed to the chair. "Factory Manager Zhao, please take a seat."
"You think I'm joking?" Factory Manager Zhao sat on the chair casually. "If it was in the past when the factory was doing well, I really wouldn't care about this kind of scene. But now, a phoenix with feathers is not as good as a chicken. I can't even get a bill to eat in this kind of place."
Li He shook his head and smiled. It was very reasonable to let some people get rich first because some people's brains were always stuck in the crack of the door, and he couldn't understand it …
Just like Factory Manager Zhao in front of him.
"Factory Manager Zhao, have some tea." Qi Hua poured a cup of tea for Factory Manager Zhao. After pouring the tea, he saw Li He waving at him. He tactfully left the private room with Jin Lin.
Only Li He and Factory Manager Zhao were left in the private room.
After the dishes were served, Li He asked, "Factory Manager Zhao, what would you like to drink?"
"It's the same familiar taste and the same familiar formula." Factory Manager Zhao opened the Maotai next to him and poured himself a cup. He took a sip happily.
He turned a blind eye to Li He.
"Factory Manager Zhao, let me drink with you." Li He raised his cup.
"I'll drink." This time, Factory Manager Zhao was very polite and didn't refuse.
"Factory Manager Zhao, a straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. I think you know why I asked you out, right?" Since Factory Manager Zhao didn't even want to do a superficial job, Li He didn't want to pretend to be polite.
Factory Manager Zhao saw Li He lighting a cigarette and didn't give him one, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he took a cigarette from the cigarette box on Li He's table and said slowly, "You're a big group, I know. You're famous, and you have a lot of connections. I know that. After all, I was the one who made the joint venture with you, but …"
He paused, looked at Li He, and said with a smile, "Isn't there an old saying that a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, and a local official is better than a local official. This is the crystallization of the ancient wisdom, and we have to learn it in depth …"
"Local snake?" Li He sneered and asked, "It seems that Factory Manager Zhao is going to support the joint venture?"
Factory Manager Zhao said with a smile, "It's good to have a joint venture. We can bring in advanced technology, first-class management, expand the scale of the enterprise, and increase the efficiency of the enterprise. With the efficiency, everyone's rice bowls will be guaranteed, and the workers won't make trouble every day. You don't know how much trouble I get!"
Li He raised his cup and said with a smile, "Factory Manager Zhao is indeed a man of noble character and unquestionable integrity! Your pursuit of work for the public is worth learning from! If the joint venture factory is established, and you don't have a place to go, our big group will welcome you! "
"I appreciate your kindness, but how can I not have a place to go, I …"
