The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Zheng Fei didn't expect Lin Zhiyuan to ask such a question. He thought for a while, "Many textbooks say that the purpose of enterprises is to make maximum profits..."

He didn't know what Lin Zhiyuan meant, so he only said half of what he said.

Lin Zhiyuan continued to ask: "So, does Mr. Zheng think that the fundamental purpose of China's enterprises is to make maximum profits?"

Zheng Fei thought about it seriously, "I think it's more or less the same. Without profits, a company can't survive, and there's nothing else to talk about."

"So Mr. Zheng thinks that the same is true for state-owned enterprises in China?"

Zheng Fei seemed to understand the reason why Lin Zhiyuan asked three times in a row, "Mr. Lin, I also came from a state-owned enterprise. Of course I know what you mean by asking. The burden of state-owned enterprises is indeed heavier."

"Mr. Zheng, at the peak of Le Gang, the total number of employees reached 400,000, accounting for one-fifth of the entire city's population. If technology allows, a large number of equipment is used to replace labor, which will inevitably cause a large number of workers to be laid off..." Lin Zhiyuan Holding up two fingers, "We assume that modern equipment replaces half of the labor force. Can you imagine? Two hundred thousand people in a city cannot find jobs. What does this mean to the city?"

Zheng Fei was speechless. As the boss of a private enterprise, Lin Zhiyuan obviously did not consider these issues, but he could also imagine the terrible scene.

"Chaos, disorder, people will ignore the law, steal, rob, kidnap, and even kill in order to survive. The city will become a jungle, and even those who keep their jobs will have no sense of security."

Lin Zhiyuan stared into Zheng Fei's eyes and said to him seriously, "State-owned enterprises must develop and make progress, but the greatest significance of the existence of state-owned enterprises is to protect the bottom line of cities and regions. , to put it more seriously, it undermines the country and the nation."

"Mr. Zheng, leather steel has also carried out large-scale technological transformation and equipment upgrades in the past few years, which has caused many workers to leave their original jobs, but we have adopted many methods to allow these workers to still have an income, such as We established a life cooperative company to recruit some workers who lacked skills and were old and frail, and let them do some jobs within their capabilities, such as security, cleaning, and canteens. In addition, we expanded the scale of commercial companies and dairy groups to do our best. Recruiting laid-off workers..."

Lin Zhiyuan spread his hands, "Mr. Zheng, you have also seen that a company as large as Yangcheng Branch only has three thousand employees. This number of employees has reached the advanced level of steel companies of the same level in the world because it is a brand new company. , without any burden, but the Legang headquarters cannot. It also bears the important responsibility of maintaining social stability. We must reduce staff and increase efficiency slowly, otherwise chaos will occur if it is too fast."

Lin Zhiyuan continued to stare at Zheng Fei, "Mr. Zheng, as far as I know, Guowei Company started with switches. You also started little by little, from the initial agent to assembly and later to your own research and development. Then let me ask you , What is the purpose of investing huge amounts of scientific research funds every year? Is it just to make money? Are there any other reasons?"

Zheng Fei straightened his back involuntarily.

Of course there are other reasons, many, many, but in the final analysis, it may just be to fight for a breath.

Lin Zhiyuan did not ask any further, because the effect had been achieved.

After finishing the meal, Lin Zhiyuan said the last words, "Mr. Zheng, running a business in Shenzhou is not just about making money. I believe you feel the same. Well, I still have to go to work, so I won't I’ll accompany Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng, remember to contact me when you come to Yangcheng in the future. I think we can be friends.”

Lin Zhiyuan left, and Ren Fei looked at his back and fell into deep thought.

Lin Zhiyuan is completely different from the state-owned enterprise leaders he knew in the past. This young man has a big chest!

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the people from Guowei completed their work. They did not stop in Yangcheng and returned directly to Shenzhen City.

Yu Xiaojuan was very disappointed and went to Lin Zhiyuan to complain, saying that she might not be suitable for this job. After searching for so long, she still couldn't find a project that satisfied Mr. Lin.

"Xiaojuan, who says I am dissatisfied? I am very satisfied. Guowei is a once-in-a-lifetime good project. It is even more developed than Dichang and Wangyi." Lin Zhiyuan gave Yu Xiaojuan full recognition, which made her The confidence has been restored.

"But, Mr. Lin, I see what Mr. Zheng means. He is very resistant to our investment."

"There's nothing you can do about it. Remember Di Factory? Didn't Mr. Wang reject us at first? Be patient and it will be better if it succeeds. It doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed. This is to be a venture capital investor."

On October 5th, Lin Zhiyuan, who finally had some free time, organized a golf round and invited Sun Bida from Yangqi Group, Pang Zhiyong and Zhu Junliang from Yangcheng Construction and Yangcheng Urban Construction to participate.

One of these three companies is an automobile manufacturer, and the other two are construction companies. They are all large consumers of steel and will be major customers of the Yangcheng Branch in the future.

Lin Zhiyuan has an idea, that is, to hold a signing ceremony at the commencement of production on November 18th and form a strategic partnership between enterprises with these major customers.

On the green golf course, Lin Zhiyuan explained the matter and was immediately recognized by the three bosses.

The benefits of strategic partnership are mutual, and Yangcheng Branch can use this to defeat other competitors and become the exclusive steel supplier for these enterprises.

Similarly, these three companies can also obtain high-quality steel products at lower than market prices from the Yangcheng Branch.

This is a win-win cooperation.

There is another very important reason. These three companies are all local companies in Yangcheng, and the Yangcheng branch is a steel company supported by the Yangcheng government. If these companies purchase steel from other places, the Yangcheng government certainly does not want to see such a result.

After settling these three Yangcheng companies, Lin Zhiyuan began to contact large-scale construction companies in eastern Guangdong and several neighboring provinces. The more partners there are, the better the future sales of the Yangcheng branch will be.

For this reason, Lin Zhiyuan even went on a business trip for several days to visit these large construction companies door to door.

After one lap, the effect was unexpectedly good.

These construction companies all treated Lin Zhiyuan with high-standard reception standards. The boss personally accompanied him and was very enthusiastic. When Lin Zhiyuan expressed his thoughts, he received a positive response.

The boss of the first construction company in eastern Guangdong even held Lin Zhiyuan's hand, "Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, if you don't come to me, I still want to find you! There are no large steel companies in eastern Guangdong. Before we All the construction steel used has to be purchased from other provinces. The journey is long and inconvenient, and the freight is expensive. We have been waiting for you to officially start construction!"

Lin Zhiyuan immediately sent an invitation to Guangdong First Construction to attend the opening ceremony of the Yangcheng branch on November 18. At the ceremony, the two companies formed a strategic partnership.

"Mr. Lin, I wish you all the best. I will definitely attend on time when the time comes."
