The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan walked around the factory. As they knew, there was nothing valuable except a pile of old sewing machines. These sewing machines were all medium-speed machines and were sold as second-hand sewing machines. , it only costs 200 yuan each, and for 20,000 yuan, you can package all the machines in the factory.

In the warehouse, in addition to a pile of cotton bras from more than ten years ago, there are also more than a dozen boxes of high-quality fake collars. No one wants these things even if they are given away.

Even the fabrics in stock were pitifully small. Zhang Chen was surprised and asked Director Cao, how do you buy fabrics?

Factory Director Cao said that he would send buyers to Keqiao to buy two or three horses at a time. We have such a quantity, and thanks to the style your little Ge helped us design, we don’t have much inventory.

The little Ge that Director Cao was talking about was Ge Ling. According to their original rental agreement, the two families were in a cooperative relationship. Ge Ling and the others would occasionally help them design some underwear. Because there were no hard and fast rules, the design center never He didn't regard this as an important task, and Zhang Chen didn't bother much.

Now it sounds like this factory is still relying on these things that Ge Ling and the others designed casually. Zhang Chen felt a little guilty when he heard that, and felt that he could have helped them more.

Zhang Chen estimated from the materials they used that the output of this factory, that is, the output of a small workshop, could be completed by four or five workers in his own factory. Why would sixty trucks be needed? The profit of this thing , how could it be possible to feed so many people?

Zhang Chen could only feel sadder the more he looked at such a factory.

Zhang Chen and Director Kan said to Director Cao that we should discuss this matter when we go back.

Director Kan said yes, I hope it can be done soon. There are tasks coming down from above. What I want to deal with is not this factory.

Zhang Chen said yes, I will definitely give you an accurate answer before I leave Shanghai.

After getting in the car and driving back, Liu Ligan said it was a pity.

Zhang Chen asked doubtfully: "What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that I thought of developing in Shanghai half a year late. Didn't you listen to what Director Kan said? He still has many factories like this. If we had come to look for them half a year ago, we might have found some good treasures. .”

"Not now?"

"It won't work if you have a land acquisition and storage center. All land for commercial housing must come from them. Even if you are allowed to demolish this broken church, you can only build factories here. If you want to build commercial housing, your land will If you want the Land Acquisition and Storage Center to collect and store it, you can then go to the auction to sell it."

"Fuck, isn't this robbery? I want to build commercial housing on my own land, and I want them to get in the way?"

"Yes, otherwise why would Meng Ping be forced into desperation? As long as there is a slight gap, he can also exploit it. Without this one-size-fits-all approach, the land will not be able to proceed."

Zhang Chen didn't understand and asked: "Why?"

"That's not easy. If I like a piece of land, I'll change the shareholders of the company as before, and then say we want to build commercial housing ourselves. What's the difference between this and before? Isn't it a transfer by agreement?"

Zhang Chen thought about it and nodded, feeling that this made sense.

"So factories like this in the city are becoming less and less valuable. Apart from being collected and stored by the collection and storage center, they have no other use."

"By the way, then Factory Director Cao and the others, why don't they just let the collection and storage center do the collection and storage?"

"Don't say that this church can't be demolished. Even if it can be demolished, the collection and storage center is not stupid. How can it want this land? It's only an area of ​​​​two acres. According to the price of the collection and storage center, it is only three or four. One hundred thousand, what do they do with this money?"

"Go to hell." Zhang Chen sighed, "That's a sure thing for me. If I buy it, I'll be taken advantage of. If I don't buy it, judging by their tone, it won't be long. If someone else buys it, I It’s a question of whether we can keep our specialty store.”

"That's right, that's why they said those words." Liu Ligan nodded.

The two returned to the Peace Hotel, and Tan Shuzhen and the others also came back. Liu Ligan told Tan Shuzhen what happened here, and Tan Shuzhen also felt a headache when she heard it.

"Zhang Chen, so it's hard to keep this specialty store?" Tan Shuzhen asked.

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "According to what they mean, even if we sell it, we won't be compensated."

Since this happened, they had to stay. After discussion, the four of them decided that tomorrow Lin Shuwan would take Xiang Nan to North to play in Yu Garden and the Chenghuang Temple, while Tan Shuzhen would go to Huaihai Middle Road to open their store with Xiaomi. Check out the market conditions of nearby houses and see if there are any other houses available for rent, so you can have a backup plan.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan went to Xujiahui Road to find out the housing prices near the second store. They needed to know how much these two stores were worth.

In any case, this is not a good thing for Zhang Chen. The future of their specialty store is uncertain. Zhang Chen wanted to call and tell Xiao Zhao about this, but he thought about it and decided not to call. He would wait until tomorrow to see it.

At around nine o'clock the next morning, Zhang Chen, Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen set off for their respective destinations.

At noon, Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan returned to the Banmutian store on Huaihai Middle Road. Tan Shuzhen was waiting for them in Xiaomi's office. The two parties reviewed what they had learned and worked out the details of the two houses. The value should be more than five million, definitely not more than six million.

Another piece of bad news is that there are currently no stores of more than 200 square meters available for rent near Huaihai Middle Road. If they want to move half an acre of land, they have no choice but to move away from this street.

Zhang Chen felt like his head was going to explode. He finally got through the second half of 1997 and the first half of 1998. It was only in the second half of last year that business began to return to normal. He planned to have a big harvest this year. Unexpectedly, just after this year, what I encountered was not a bad luck, but a sap.

"How much did you spend on decorating this store?" Liu Ligan asked.

"More than 1.2 million." Zhang Chen said with a bitter smile, "You also know what this place used to be like. I almost renovated the whole place."

"If you want to move, you have to take into account the loss caused by the suspension of business in the intervening months, which is hundreds of thousands." Tan Shuzhen said.

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "What's more, if we move to a new place, our old customers will basically be gone."

"These Shanghai people are really smart." Liu Ligan said, "I think they have already thought of what we thought. They also know how much this old factory is worth. They didn't listen to Director Kan saying that the price is one Aai Ai higher. , this Ai Ai is two million, they are betting on whether you, Zhang Chen, will be forced to accept it for these two million."

Zhang Chen sat there, thought for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "It seems that I have to accept it. There is no other way to go. Otherwise, the actual loss may be far more than the two million."

Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen thought about it, and it seemed that there was no way out.

Liu Ligan comforted Zhang Chen and said, "It's okay. Isn't the house price going up? It seems that you are at a loss if you buy it today. You might make a profit in the future, just like your Qunying Garment Factory."

"Who can say what will happen in the future?" Zhang Chen smiled bitterly.

Tan Shuzhen picked up the phone on the table, put it in front of Zhang Chen, and said to him: "Zhang Chen, please make a call."

Zhang Chen raised his head and looked at her, wondering: "Who should I call?"

"Call Director Kan and tell him that the fixed price is seven million. If you agree, we will sign an agreement. If you don't agree, we will start preparing for the out-of-business sale tomorrow." Tan Shuzhen said.

Zhang Chen thought about it and had no choice but to do so. He dialed Director Kan's phone number. As soon as he said hello, Director Kan, Tan Shuzhen took the phone from Zhang Chen's hand. Tan Shuzhen said to the person on the phone :

"Director Kan, I am Mr. Zhang's assistant. Our company held an emergency shareholders' meeting this morning. We agreed to acquire all the assets of your Chaoyang Underwear Factory, but the highest price we can accept is seven million.

"If you agree, we can sign the agreement immediately. If you don't agree, we will start preparations for closing down the business. At the same time, we will pursue the Chaoyang Underwear Factory's liability for compensation through legal procedures."

There was silence on the phone for a while, then Director Kan asked:

"What's your last name?"

Tan Shuzhen said her surname was Tan.

"Assistant Tan is also in Shanghai?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang and I are together."

"Well, Assistant Tan, can you and Mr. Zhang please work hard and come to our bureau in the afternoon so that we can communicate in person again."

Tan Shuzhen said yes.

Tan Shuzhen put down the phone, Liu Ligan nodded and said, it looks like there's something going on.

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said: "Yes, otherwise they wouldn't have invited us to communicate. I estimate that they will raise the price a little bit, but it will definitely not be 8 million."

"Then I need to call Xiao Zhao right away."

As Zhang Chen spoke, Liu Ligan laughed. Zhang Chen asked, "Why are you laughing?"

"You finally learned how to discuss matters with your wife." Liu Ligan laughed.

Zhang Chen cursed: "Get out!"

Tan Shuzhen was surprised and asked: "Why does Xiao Zhao call her your wife?"

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan smiled and did not explain.

Xiao Zhao received a call from Zhang Chen and heard Zhang Chen tell her everything. Xiao Zhao sighed and said, "Well, there is nothing we can do about it. Just buy it. It's up to you."

Liu Ligan and Tan Shuzhen are both around. If these three people have no other way, what else can they do.

Xiao Zhao thought.

…

The three of them arrived at the Industrial Bureau and found Director Kan's office. Director Cao was already waiting here. Director Kan asked everyone to go to the conference room and also called in a deputy director. The results of the negotiations between the two parties were finally Zhejiang Banmutian Clothing Co., Ltd. purchased the Shanghai Chaoyang Underwear Factory as a whole for 7.3 million yuan.

Zhang Chen immediately called Zhao Jingjing and asked her to bring a complete set of original company information and seals, as well as a national acceptance bill of 7.3 million yuan, and ask the second cargo to send her to Shanghai tomorrow morning.

Zhang Chen will sign an agreement with Factory Director Cao tomorrow to go through the industrial and commercial change procedures and change the legal person shares of Shanghai Chaoyang Underwear Factory into Zhejiang Banmutian Clothing Co., Ltd.
