Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Speaking of this, Ren Jie was also willing to risk his life and continued to talk: "The country can save them for a while, but can it save them for the rest of their lives? These millions of industrial workers should be the country's precious wealth, but because of those corporate leaders Failure to do anything will become a burden to the country. If the skills are not as good as the people, they should be eliminated by the market. Mergers, reorganizations, and even bankruptcies are inevitable. If a large state-owned factory with more than [-] employees loses its hematopoietic mechanism, it will all rely on the government and banks. With a blood transfusion, he can even bring down a city’s finances!”

Ye Anbang became anxious upon hearing this, and quickly scolded: "Ren Jie, don't go too far. Today we are only talking about technical protection!"

He Jianye waved his hand, signaling Ren Jie to continue. Ye Anbang winked at Ren Jie anxiously.

Ren Jie just pretended not to see it and continued: "Of course, Director Wu's concerns are not unreasonable. The state certainly cannot turn a blind eye to these enterprises with backward production capacity and technology. It cannot shut down, stop, merge, or transfer across the board. It will prescribe the right medicine according to the actual situation." , give them several options."

He Jianye asked with great interest: "What are the ways out?"

Ren Jie said clearly: "First, implement the factory director responsibility system. For enterprises that have suffered long-term losses and have backward production capacity, the factory directors will resign and replace them with people who have the ability to turn losses into profits, and appropriately delegate power to them. Secondly, , some small machinery companies that cannot keep up with their technology and production capacity should tap their potential internally, try the contracting system, and completely push them to the market. Those companies that are really unable to bear their own profits and losses and operate normally should be shut down or merged into large and medium-sized companies with leading technologies. Third, technology within the system will no longer be shared, and whoever develops it will profit. We should establish and improve intellectual property protection, create a healthy competition mechanism, and encourage the paid use of new technologies and processes developed by others."

In the huge conference room, there was a sudden deathly silence. Ye Anbang and Zhou Xiaohan had worried looks on their faces. Ren Jie was going to poke a hole in the sky before he would give up!

But Ren Jie knew very well in his heart that the wise old man had returned to the center of power. In a few years, the separation of state-owned enterprises and the merger of the two systems would lead to a pilot project. He said that The likelihood of conviction is slim.

He Jianye did not applaud, nor did he stop Ren Jie's bold remarks, but he was already stirred up in his heart. With his position, he had access to some high-level information, and some of the state-owned enterprises that had become a burden to the government were used to carry out investigations. Regarding the intention of piloting reforms, this young man’s views actually coincide with the ideas of some knowledgeable people above, and what he said seems to be more thorough...

He Jianye pondered for a long time and did not give any opinions on Ren Jie's remarks. Instead, he turned to discuss with Wu Kai in a low voice for a while and said: "The ministry agrees in principle with Jiangcheng Machinery Factory's application not to promote the carburizing process for the time being. Are you ready?" With gear samples and accurate technical parameters, we will coordinate with comrades from the Honghe Provincial Bureau of Commerce Import and Export Company to try to get some overseas orders."

Half a month later, the minutes of this symposium were placed on the desks of senior leaders in the form of internal reference...

---------------

On June 6, several young people gathered at the intersection of Huancheng West Road and Qingnian Road. These young people held a stack of hand-painted leaflets in their hands and were distributing them to passers-by.

There are a few big words written on the flyer: The Sequoia Hotel will have a grand opening on June 6. Within three days of the opening, all purchases (except drinks) will be buy one and get one free, with no limit.

The detailed address and business hours of the Sequoia Hotel are simply marked below. Attentive passers-by also found a line of small words at the bottom: The final interpretation of this event belongs to the Sequoia Hotel.

Regarding the name of the hotel, Liu Yan and Lu Han discussed it for a long time. The names they came up with were almost without exception, and they all had the characteristics of being outdated in this era. In the end, Ren Jie made the final decision and used the row of redwood trees in front of the hotel. tree as the name of the hotel.

Although it has not yet opened, the Sequoia Hotel's alternative decoration style has already attracted the attention of passers-by: all four stores have been opened, and the two middle storefronts facing the street only retain a low wall of less than one meter, all decorated like a department store. The glass display window is made of leftover materials that Ye Ming and Lu Han picked up in the machinery factory. They are welded into a rectangular door frame. They are pasted with light blue thin cloth and installed with two light tubes. A simple neon light frame is made. It’s done.

Interior decoration and rent have consumed almost all the money the educated youths earned during this period. The price of ceiling fans, which were still considered a luxury item in this era, forced Ren Jie to temporarily reduce the number of private rooms to five, totaling nine in the lobby and private rooms. The ceiling fan cost more than 1000 yuan.

The money was spent like water. Except for Ren Jie, almost everyone felt distressed, especially Lu Han and Liu Yan. They felt mixed with uneasiness and gratitude. They secretly vowed to run the Sequoia Hotel well!

Ren Jie defied public opinion and hired four waiters and two kitchen helpers. In addition, he hired a retired guest house master with a high salary. For the seven people and Liu Yan, the monthly salary alone was more than 4 yuan.

On June 6, the Sequoia Hotel, which had been prepared for a long time, finally opened. Ren Jie was not polite and asked Lu Xiyao and Zhou Ying to put on beautiful clothes that they usually couldn't bear to wear, and stood at the door of the hotel as welcome guests.

It has to be said that as the capital of Honghe Province, an old industrial city like Jiangcheng still has a certain amount of spending power. Starting from ten o'clock in the morning, people started to come into the store to dine, but most of them were a family of three or four, ordering a few tomatoes. Home-cooked dishes such as scrambled eggs, shredded pork with green peppers, and shredded potatoes in vinegar, plus rice, the per capita consumption is only about one yuan. The consumption ratio of hard meat dishes such as chicken, duck, fish, etc. is still low.

After each payment is made, the hotel will send out a self-made coupon of equal amount. From July 7st to July 1th, you can spend another equal amount for free.

This ordinary buy-one-get-one-free marketing method of later generations was surprisingly effective in this era. The hall of more than 200 square meters was almost full.

In this era of centralized purchasing and marketing, where supplies are in short supply, consumption levels are indeed pitifully low. Lunch was busy until around 01:30, and including the consumption of two private rooms, the turnover was less than 300 yuan.But Liu Yan and others were overjoyed with this kind of turnover. In their eyes, 300 yuan was already a huge sum of money.

The dinner business was obviously much better than at noon. The five private rooms were booked early. The unit price and per capita consumption have gone up a level. At the end of the day, everyone was tired and had sore backs and legs, but after hearing the news on the first day of opening, When I heard the news that the sales exceeded 700 yuan, my physical fatigue disappeared and was replaced by a smile on my face. Although I lost money and made money during the opening promotion, it was finally a good start.
