Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Director Wang became even more interested when he heard the words "the authorities are obsessed with it":

"Then Mr. Zhao, tell me quickly, I really need your guidance now!"

Zhao Zhuo was originally here to discuss business, so he did not refuse and said slowly:

"Actually, have you ever thought about the most critical question, which is why canneries don't make money?

Is it because the cans don’t taste good? Because the output is not enough or too much? Is it because the quality of the cans is not good?”

Zhao Zhuo cited several examples in succession, and Director Wang shook his head without exception.

Director Wang said doubtfully:

"It seems... none of these are the main reasons."

Zhao Zhuo nodded heavily:

"Yes! These are not the main reasons!

The main reason is that the management system of the state-owned cannery factory is rigid, the response speed of all aspects of production and sales is too slow, and it can no longer keep up with the changes of the times and the market!"

Hearing this, Director Wang suddenly enlightened:

"That's right! Mr. Zhao, you really woke up the dreamer with just one word! That's it!"

With that said, Factory Director Wang started to tell Zhao Zhuo as if he was complaining:

“Our factory is not making money now, not because everyone stops eating canned food, but because the canned food we produce simply cannot keep up with the market’s needs!

For example, I estimate that this summer will be relatively hot, so I would like to buy more yellow peaches in the spring and make canned yellow peaches. Sales will definitely be very good in summer.

However, the production quantity of the cannery for each month of the year has been booked long ago, and I have no way to make changes. If I want to make changes, I have to report to the superiors. But after the report is approved,

, Needless to say whether we agree or not, the yellow peaches have already been sold out!"

When talking about these things, Director Wang felt helpless.

I saw him continue to say:

"For another example, a new kind of fresh fruit has recently appeared on the market. The cycle is very short and it will be sold out within a few days. So if you buy a large amount and make it into cans at this time, you will not have to worry about selling it.

However, I still can't make the decision, and I have to report it to the superiors. By the time there is a reply, the fruit has already been taken off the market!

There are countless similar things..."

After Zhao Zhuo listened silently to Factory Director Wang's complaint, he did not express his opinion, but asked instead:

"In this case, Director Wang, can you make changes?"

Hearing this, Director Wang immediately lowered his head helplessly like an eggplant beaten by frost:

"cannot."

This is the helplessness of state-owned factories: in many cases, the problems are understood, but they cannot be solved at all. Some people with a good attitude can still mess up. Those who are enterprising like Factory Director Wang can only watch.

Be anxious.

So, Zhao Zhuo said calmly:

"Now I have a way to solve the problem you mentioned."

Hearing this, Director Wang subconsciously asked quickly:

"What can I do!"

Zhao Zhuo said slowly:

"Sell the factory."

Hearing this, Director Wang was immediately startled:

"What? Sell it! This won't work! This definitely won't work! Our factory is a state-owned asset, and selling it is illegal and criminal!"

Upon hearing Director Wang's excited reaction, Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly, knowing that he had misunderstood what he meant, so he smiled bitterly and said:

"What I mean by selling is not to let you take the money and run away! What are you thinking here!"

After hearing this, Director Wang's face calmed down slightly:

"Then what do you mean?"

Zhao Zhuo explained:

"What I mean is that I can spend money to buy half of the shares of the cannery and then operate it independently, which means that all business measures are unrestricted and completely autonomous."

Director Wang's face calmed down even more when he heard that he was just buying shares.

What Zhao Zhuo said next made him excited:

"In addition, after buying shares, I can agree on a minimum dividend amount with the factory. For example, although the cannery is no longer making money and can only barely guarantee not to lose money, after I buy shares, I can guarantee that the cannery can make three yuan per year.

One hundred thousand.

If I make less than 300,000 yuan, then I will give the cannery half of the 300,000 yuan in dividends every year, which is 150,000 yuan.

And if the money earned exceeds 300,000, for example, 400,000, then I will give the factory a dividend of 200,000..."

After some explanation, Director Wang finally understood what Zhao Zhuo meant.

Then, he hesitated and couldn't help asking:

"Mr. Zhao, do you have money to burn?"

Zhao Zhuo was not dissatisfied when he heard this, because he knew that Factory Director Wang really couldn't understand this kind of business method.

After all, for a factory that has long since stopped making money, you only need to pay half of the shares to get a considerable amount of money, and there are also huge dividends every year. This would be incredible to anyone.

So Zhao Zhuo said calmly:

"I do have some money, but I won't throw it away casually. The reason why I dare to propose such a method is that I am sure that I can really make money from this cannery!"

Hearing this, Director Wang couldn't help but be shocked by Zhao Zhuo's heroic spirit.

Then, Zhao Zhuo glanced at Factory Director Wang:

"By the way, if we can successfully invest in shares, then the position of director of this cannery factory will be yours, Director Wang, and your salary will be doubled!

And if you have any new business ideas in the future, as long as they are reasonable, I will definitely support them.

All in all, you will have a chance to fulfill your ambitions!"

Hearing this, Director Wang suddenly became more interested. He asked tentatively:

"Hey, actually it doesn't matter if it's a salary or not, as long as it's not paid. It's just the so-called right to operate independently, can you really give it to me?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded affirmatively:

"A gentleman's words are hard to follow."

After receiving the guarantee, Factory Director Wang also became interested, so he hesitated and said:

"Then I'll ask the superiors for instructions first to see if this can be done."

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

After saying that, Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun sat down and drank tea by themselves.

Factory Director Wang made a phone call with a complicated expression.

After some communication and exchanges with Director Wang, he finally put down the phone, took a long breath, and then said to Zhao Zhuo with some surprise:

"Mr. Zhao, it's done! There are already several poorly managed state-owned factories that have sold their equity and management rights, so we have learned from the past, so it is not difficult to operate."

Zhao Zhuo nodded when he heard this. He also estimated that there would be a precedent for similar things at this time, so he brought it up.

After all, if this kind of thing is brought up too early, it is likely to be regarded as an attempt to embezzle state-owned property. And if it is done too late, there will be a huge loss of profit margins.

All in all, timing is important.
