If you cheat, money will follow

A few days later, Wolfgang and Wendelin returned to Germany.

The two parties generally reached consensus on options trading and signed a framework agreement.

The next step is to carry out further formal consultations and negotiations under the framework agreement.

Because when it comes to cross-border options or equity transactions, in order to adapt to the laws of the relevant countries and various rules and conditions, both parties will entrust investment banks, accounting firms and law firms to carry out negotiations.

Personnel involved in investment banks, accounting firms, law firms and other institutions are required to sign confidentiality agreements.

This is bound to be a difficult process, so I won’t go into details.

End of March 08.

Zheng Peng drove Chang Le in his A6 to the Jiangzhou Agricultural Machinery Factory in the northern suburbs of the city.

Zheng Peng casually parked his car on the wasteland outside the agricultural machinery factory and said, "Chang Le, why did you come to this place when you have nothing to do? What is there to see in this place?"

Chang Le said: "I heard from people in our school that the scenery here is very good, so I came to take a look."

Zheng Peng said: "The scenery is great? Isn't this nonsense? What kind of scenery is there in this wilderness? Do you think I believe it or not?"

Chang Le said: "It's up to you, believe it or not."

Zheng Peng shrugged his shoulders, took out a box of cigarettes, handed one to Chang Le, then lit one for himself and took a puff:

"For now, I believe you are here to see the scenery. But you have found the right person. I am quite familiar with this area. Back then, this area was considered my hidden dragon land."

Chang Le smiled and said: "Land of the Hidden Dragon? You can just brag about it. Do you live here?"

"Why did I lie to you? Although I don't live here, every corner here has traces of my struggle. These traces were made by my brothers and I with punches and kicks. Later, when the children of the agricultural machinery factory saw me, they hide."

Chang Le said: "Oh, then should I call you Brother Haonan?"

Zheng Peng said: "This nickname is appropriate. When I was famous, Chen Haonan had not been on TV. If he was on TV, the name of Brother Jiangzhou Haonan would definitely be with me."

Chang Le said: "Okay, you are awesome. Brother Haonan, since you are so familiar with this place, please introduce it."

Zheng Peng nodded: "Okay, then I will give you a good introduction to my Hidden Dragon's Abyss place."

"I'm telling you, don't look at this place as desolate now. But back then, when I was very young, this was the absolute entertainment center of Jiangzhou, and its status is equivalent to the current financial center."

"In its earliest days, this agricultural machinery factory did not produce agricultural machinery. It was a military factory serving third-line construction, specializing in the production of core parts for various military vehicles."

"Different from the location selection of other third-tier factories, other third-tier factories follow the principle of "backing, dispersion, and concealment" and are hidden in the mountains, claiming to be a small world. Because this factory is not a unit that particularly needs to be kept secret, the products it produces are not It is not a confidential product, so the location was chosen in the northern suburbs of Jiangzhou."

"The most glorious period of this factory should be the 80s and 90s. Because the supply of auto parts exceeded demand and the funds were very abundant, a large number of supporting facilities were built in the factory area. Schools, hospitals, shopping malls, clubs, libraries Everything is ready.”

"The workers' remuneration is also very high. Back then, my father's monthly salary was more than 30 yuan, while the average worker's salary here was more than 80 yuan a month, and there was a bonus of more than 500 yuan at the end of the year. You said you were rich or not."

"If you have money, you will definitely spend it. Restaurants, discos, shampoo shops and other sensual places outside the factory area spontaneously gather together. There are too many to mention, and it is very lively."

"However, the good times did not last long. In the new century, the international situation has changed, economic development has become the top priority, and economic construction has become a top priority. There is no need for so many military factories and parts factories, so this factory naturally has no stable plan. Orders, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.”

"First, the jurisdiction was transferred to local jurisdiction, and the business line was transferred from military to civilian. Because of rigid management, backward technology, products that could not keep up with the development situation, and high costs, it was naturally not recognized in the market and faced long-term losses. "

"Then, Jiangzhou still invested money to save it, hoping to reverse the situation through technological transformation and upgrading, but with little success. The backwardness in management methods cannot be solved by money."

"Even if we later switch to the production of agricultural machinery, it will be the same. We cannot compete with private enterprises, and we have long relied on local blood transfusions to survive."

"After that, the new management wanted to go bankrupt and reorganize, introduce external funds, and transform into a civilian joint-stock enterprise. However, they encountered strong opposition from the employees of the agricultural machinery factory, who gathered to petition many times. The bankruptcy and reorganization plan was shelved, and production has been suspended to this day."

Chang Le asked: "How many unemployed workers are there in this factory?"

Zheng Peng thought for a while and said: "The specific number is not clear. Except for those who are retired and those who have left their jobs to make a living, there are probably at least more than 400 people. Why do you ask this? Chang Le, you don't want to buy it, do you?" ?”

Chang Le said: "No way?"

Zheng Peng said: "Of course not. Let me tell you the truth, this factory is a big pit."

Chang Le asked: "Big pit? Why?"

Zheng Peng said: “The main reason is that employees’ demands are complex and difficult to reconcile, and it is difficult to reach consensus.”

"And besides the fact that the birth certificate is worth a little money, this factory has no equipment, no technology, and no employees..."

"The capable and skilled workers have long gone to work in the sea and moved out of here. The rest are either those whose physical conditions do not allow it, or those who are indolent and idle. Why did you buy it?"

Chang Le said: "Haha, you can't say that. After all, they have all contributed to development, so it is normal to have some requirements."

Zheng Peng said: "That's where the problem lies. Those who really made a contribution didn't ask for much and were reasonable. Instead, it was the young people who were idle and asked for exorbitant prices. I fought so many fights here, how could I not clear?"

"Let me tell you, it's not that no company wants to take over. There were companies with similar ideas to you a few years ago."

"A coastal automobile manufacturer sent people here specifically to inspect the company. They were interested in the full set of production qualifications and wanted to acquire the company as a whole, but in the end they gave up."

"Why give up?"

"The main reason is that the requirements are too high and placement is very difficult."

"The acquisition of state-owned assets is not included in the calculation. After the enterprise is acquired, it has to bear more than 10 various expenses such as employee buyout expenses, insurance expenses, demolition expenses, resettlement expenses, transition expenses, etc. These expenses add up to a very large number. .”

"What's even more demanding is that in addition to resettlement costs, some employees also require priority in taking up jobs after the new factory is established. How did the agricultural machinery factory collapse? Who in Jiangzhou doesn't know?"

"When the boss of that company heard these demands, his face turned green and he turned around and left. Then he turned around and bought a factory with a similar situation in the next province. The cost was only about 1/5 of the budget here."

"I heard that the people who made these demands were beaten up by their own people, haha."

After hearing this, Chang Le said with a smile: "This is indeed a bit difficult to handle. Let's go in and have a look."

After five years of suspension of production, the house sign of Jiangzhou Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing Factory has become dilapidated.

The red paint on the large iron gate of the factory is peeling off, revealing yellow-brown rust.

The name of the factory, which is supported by an iron frame above the iron gate, is missing 9 out of 4 characters, leaving 5 characters scattered horizontally and vertically.

Zheng Peng took Chang Le around the door and came to the side.

There is a small door on the side.

When the two were about to pass through the small door, a little old man wearing a gray sweatshirt and waving a cattail leaf fan came out from nowhere and stood in front of them. While waving the cattail leaf fan, he asked with an unkind expression:

"Hey, hey, who are you? Why are you barging in? Don't you know this is a production center? Can you just enter?"

After saying that, the old man picked up a cardboard box from the grass on the side and placed it next to the small door.

On the carton, there are eight big characters written crookedly: Important production place, no idlers allowed to enter!

"I'm telling you, let's put it in the past. If you just break in without reporting anything, you will have to be arrested and tortured."

Chang Le: "..."

Zheng Peng was well prepared. He took out an unopened pack of Huazi from his pants pocket and stuffed it into the old man's hand, and then said with a smile:

"Uncle, I'm sorry. We are art students in Jiangzhou. We heard that the scenery here is very good and the architecture is also very unique, so we wanted to come and see it and learn about it."

"Collecting wind?" The old man looked at the Hua Zi in his hand, which was as red as fire. His face immediately relaxed and he smiled brightly. With a seasoned technique, he naturally brought the Hua Zi to his nose. After taking a sniff, he put it into his mouth with satisfaction. bag.

"It turns out you are an art student. You told me earlier to go in. The scenery of our Jiangzhou Agricultural Machinery Factory is one of the best in Jiangzhou."
