Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 230 The Outstanding Bird (two chapters in one)

By the standards of a village-run enterprise, the efficiency of Shenfutun Chemical Plant is very good.

However, when doing business, it has always been easier for a partnership than to divide money.

There are too many companies. In the early stages of development, the partners are very united. Everyone works together to develop and grow the company.

Once a business develops and profits are made, when it is time to divide the money, it is often the time when partners have conflicts, and many even part ways.

Li Weidong has been in the shopping mall for so many years and has also done business in partnership with others. He has seen many similar situations.

At the beginning of the establishment of Shenfutun Chemical Plant, Li Weidong invested 100,000 yuan in shares, and came up with formulas such as softeners and deck glue. At the same time, he also personally found customers for Shenfutun Chemical Plant. It can be said that Shenfutun Chemical Plant Being able to make money depends entirely on Li Weidong.

At that time, Li Weidong took 50% of the dividends. Although the people in Shen Futun were jealous, they had nothing to say.

After all, the formula was given by Li Weidong, and the customer was found by Li Weidong. Without Li Weidong, Shen Futun could only continue to produce laundry cream. It can be said that the Shen Futun Chemical Factory at that time was completely in Li Weidong's hands.

In the past two years, Li Weidong has completely handed over the operation of Shenfutun Chemical Plant to the Shen family and his son. He has done nothing himself and is just waiting for dividends at the end of the year. This makes the people of Shenfutun feel that the village has suffered a loss. !

Why should Li Weidong take 50% of the profits if he doesn't do anything?

And with the development of the domestic textile industry, more and more Raschel blanket production lines have begun to be launched.

In the late 1980s, domestic machine tool companies were able to manufacture Raschel warp knitting machines, which also enabled domestic textile companies to begin to enter the production field of Raschel blankets in large numbers.

There are more and more companies producing Raschel blankets, and the demand for textile chemical raw materials such as softeners and deck glue is also increasing.

It is foreseeable that the profits of Shenfutun Chemical Plant will continue to grow. At this time, if more money is given to Li Weidong, some people will be unwilling. They feel that Li Weidong has taken away what should belong to them. money.

To put it simply, the current Li Weidong no longer brings economic benefits to the Shenfutun Chemical Plant, and has no use value, so the people in Shenfutun want to kick Li Weidong out of the chemical plant.

In fact, it is just killing the donkey.

As for the truth, as Shen Zheng said, whether the villagers wanted to drive away Li Weidong, or Shen Zheng himself wanted to drive away Li Weidong, it is unknown.

I saw Shen Zheng put on a very embarrassed expression, and then said: "Weidong, I really embarrass you by asking you to withdraw your shares, but if I don't do this, the people in the village won't be willing to do it. Brigade Secretary, you always have to explain to the villagers, right? So you have to understand my difficulties."

Shen Zheng said, pointed to the money on the table, and continued: "You took 100,000 yuan to invest in the shares, and now I give you 250,000 yuan to withdraw the shares, which means you have not suffered any loss. And this In the past two years, you have made a lot of dividends from the chemical factory, right? In general, you have also made a lot of money from the chemical factory."

Shen Zheng didn't mention the value of the softener and other formulas at all. He didn't know whether it was intentional or he didn't think the formulas were valuable at all.

"This is because I don't work and get paid for nothing!" Li Weidong looked at the five large bundles of RMB on the table with a smile on his face.

In future generations, all business operators will welcome investors who only pay money and do nothing but wait for dividends. For business operators, the most annoying thing is that investors rely on their own shares to spend all day long. Pointing fingers.

However, in the 1980s, Li Weidong wanted to be a quiet investor, just paying dividends and not doing anything, but he was rejected!

"Forget it, forceful melons are not sweet. Since people like Shen Futun want to leave me to live alone, then I shouldn't bring trouble to myself."

Thinking of this, Li Weidong said: "Second Uncle, since the words have come to this point, then I will accept the money and withdraw the shares! This will prevent Second Uncle from having a hard time doing things in the village."

Shen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Before he came, he was very worried that Li Weidong would not withdraw his shares, and the two parties were relatives. If they really broke up over this matter, they would not be able to save each other's face.

I didn't expect Li Weidong to be so happy. In just a few words, he expressed his willingness to withdraw his shares.

However, Li Weidong continued: "Second uncle, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. There are a few things I have to figure out before I withdraw my shares."

"What's going on?" Shen Zheng asked warily, fearing that Li Weidong would find excuses to go back on his word.

Li Weidong asked: "Second uncle, does the Shenfutun Chemical Plant currently have any debt disputes?"

"Debt dispute?" Shen Zheng shook his head slightly: "Is it because you owe someone else money and haven't paid it back? No such thing."

"There are no other disputes, right? For example, are there any disputes with the villagers in this village or with other villages?" Li Weidong asked next.

"How can we have any disputes with our own village-run enterprises?" Shen Zheng paused and then said, "Why do you ask these questions?"

"It's like this. If the company has debts or disputes, as a shareholder, you have to bear certain responsibilities. So I will first confirm whether there are any disputes in Shenfutun Chemical Plant. In this way, if I withdraw my shares, there will be no There will be some unexplained responsibilities." Li Weidong said.

"Weidong is the one who can make money from foreigners after all. He is just thoughtful!" Shen Zheng nodded.

Li Weidong continued: "Second uncle, we will sign a withdrawal agreement in a moment. Your Shen Futun Chemical Plant currently does not have any disputes. Let us also write that after I withdraw my shares, I will also sign a withdrawal agreement with Shen Futun Chemical Plant." The chemical plant has nothing to do with it, so let’s write it down. If it’s written clearly in black and white, I can take away the two hundred and fifty thousand with confidence.”

"No problem! Brothers have settled accounts. Although we are relatives, it is better to sign the contract seriously." Shen Zheng answered.

…

After the contract was signed, Li Weidong collected the money and planned to treat Shen Zheng and his son to a homely meal. However, Shen Zheng and his son probably felt guilty and left after some refusal.

After sending Shen Zheng and his son to the door, Li Weidong also let out a sigh of relief as he watched their figures disappear into the distance.

"Whether it's a withdrawal of shares, this kind of small chemical factory run by a village will definitely be a troublesome thing in the future! It might not be a bad thing to get rid of this burden as soon as possible." Li Weidong murmured to himself.

Chemical plants have a very serious problem, which is pollution, which is unavoidable.

Large chemical plants in later generations installed various environmental protection equipment, but they were still serious sources of pollution. For small chemical plants, it was even more difficult to avoid pollution.

Moreover, the pollution caused by chemical plants is different from that of other enterprises. The pollution caused by many enterprises is mainly the emission pollution caused by burning fuel. For example, when enterprises burn boilers, they will emit harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and pollute the air.

However, pollution from chemical plants is not just as simple as polluting the air. Chemical plant emissions can also cause chemical pollution, destroy the ecological environment, and cause direct harm to people's health.

The production of textile chemical raw materials such as softeners and deck glue will naturally have an impact on the environment. At the very least, the wastewater discharged from the reactor will be directly discharged into rivers or fields, which will definitely cause pollution.

Village-run enterprises such as Shenfutun Chemical Plant cannot afford industrial sewage purification equipment, so they can only discharge sewage directly into nature.

Li Weidong does not want to be involved in this kind of environmental pollution. This is not because Li Weidong is so keen on protecting the environment, but because it is a very troublesome matter when it comes to environmental issues.

For example, if a piece of land is polluted by chemical sewage, it may take decades to treat it; another example is if a river is polluted by chemical sewage, the entire downstream will indeed be implicated.

The most troublesome thing is the harm caused by pollution to people. For those who get sick or develop cancer due to pollution, the cost of treatment in terms of time and money is very high. Even if the people are cured, the polluting companies will be scolded. If he cannot be cured, he will become a sinner for the ages. In short, he will not be a human being inside and out.

In addition, those arrogant environmentalists are even more difficult to deal with. Once they get entangled, they are like chewing gum stuck to their buttocks. It will be embarrassing if they are not dealt with, and it will be embarrassing if they are dealt with.

Therefore, Li Weidong always felt that small chemical plants were not a long-term business.

If he had not been able to find a suitable softener for the production of wool car seat cushions, Li Weidong would definitely not have cooperated with Shenfutun Chemical Factory.

In the early stages of economic development, technology was poor and the foundation was weak. In order to obtain economic benefits, it was inevitable to sacrifice the environment.

To put it another way, if you don’t sacrifice the environment, you will have to remain poor; if you sacrifice the environment in exchange for wealth, and then embark on the path of pollution first and then treatment, it may sound like the gains outweigh the losses, but at least you will no longer be poor.

So back then, Li Weidong could only ignore the pollution caused by chemical plants, because conditions were limited after all.

Now that Li Weidong is rich, of course he doesn't want to have anything to do with pollution. Li Weidong really doesn't like the chemical plant's annual dividend of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

So when Shen Zheng came to ask Li Weidong to withdraw his shares, Li Weidong thought about it for a while and agreed.

In order to prevent himself from being involved in the trouble of chemical plant pollution, Li Weidong also specifically wrote in the withdrawal contract that there would be no disputes with the chemical plant and that Li Weidong would have no connection with the chemical plant after withdrawing his shares. In this way, even if the chemical plant polluted If it affects the environment or causes someone to get sick, Li Weidong has no responsibility at all.

If you were a positive person with a holy heart, you would probably try your best to protect the environment and develop some sustainable development plans.

However, Li Weidong is not a virgin bitch. He is selfish and greedy like ordinary people, and he also has a bottom line that he sticks to. Li Weidong does not expect that he can change time. For him, it is enough to live and do things with a clear conscience!

…

At the Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory, Li Weidong held some drawings in his hand. The words on the drawings were all written in Japanese.

This drawing was sent by someone from Xizhi Electric, and it shows the latest design of the egg steamer.

Xizhi Electric requires that the electric stove factory make samples according to the drawings. If the samples are qualified, then the next batch of OEM orders will be based on the new styles on the drawings to manufacture egg steamers.

Looking at the drawings provided by Xizhi Electric, Li Weidong was silent for a long time.

"This is the real industrial design capability! When can I have such a design team?" Li Weidong sighed.

Li Weidong couldn't help but think of second-hand inventor Lu Jianli, who was the only talent under him with design and R&D capabilities. However, Li Weidong's top talent was not even qualified to compare with Xizhi Electric's professional product design team.

"Actually, my egg steamer also borrowed a lot of designs from later generations. It's no worse than the one on the Xizhi Electric drawing! Could it be that Xizhi wants to tell me to just do OEM work honestly and don't even think about designing it?

Products? Haha, I’m overthinking it too, in Xizhi’s eyes, I’m just a little ant.”

Thinking of this, Li Weidong curled his lips. Now, in the field of home appliances, he is not at the same level as Xizhi Electric. A mere township enterprise is not a threat to a large multinational company like Xizhi Electric.

"An industrial design team cannot be built in a day or two. If I remember correctly, there should be no industrial design major in domestic universities now!" Li Weidong thought to himself.

Industrial design is also a mechanical major. This major officially appeared in the "Undergraduate Major Catalog of General Colleges and Universities" in 1993. That is to say, before 1993, there was no industrial design major in domestic universities.

The major was established in 1993, and it will take 1997 at the earliest for undergraduates to graduate. In other words, professional industrial design talents will not enter the workplace for the first time until 1997.

Many people in later generations say that Chinese companies do not pay attention to product design and do not engage in research and development of new products. In fact, it is not that companies do not want to engage in design and research and development, but that they really do not have talents in this area.

To become a mature product design developer, a bachelor's degree graduate must have ten years of work experience. The first batch of industrial design talents graduated in 1997, which means that after they mature, China should

The Olympic Games are held.

"We can't rush the design team. We don't have such conditions in China at present. I can only take it step by step. I can't eat a big fat man in one bite." Li Weidong thought to himself.

At this moment, the phone on Li Weidong's desk rang, and Li Weidong immediately picked up the receiver.

"Director, Director Yang Yong of the District Civil Affairs Bureau is here. He said he has something to ask you. He is in the reception room now!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Li Weidong stood up and walked to the reception room.

Yang Yong is a chubby middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and a very honest appearance. He looks like a little bear.

After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Li Weidong spoke: "Director Yang is here this time. What instructions do you have?"

"Director Li, you are laughing at me, how dare I give you instructions!" Yang Yong laughed, and then said: "Actually, I came here today to beg for help from you!"

This answer was already within Li Weidong's expectation. When people from the civil affairs department came to the company, they most likely came to ask for sponsorship.

Just listen to Yang Yong continue to say: "Our country has just established a fund to assist out-of-school teenagers in poor areas. I wonder if Director Li has seen this news?"

"Are you talking about Project Hope?" Li Weidong asked immediately.

"Project Hope? Yes, the document issued by the above also said that this is a long-term 'Project Hope'." Yang Yong continued: "In recent years, our country has made great achievements in economic development, but

In poor areas, backward education still restricts economic development. At present, there are still 200 million illiterate people in our country. In many poor counties and districts, basic education faces many difficulties and is struggling..."

"Okay, Director Yang, we are not outsiders. You don't need to introduce these situations. I have read them in the newspaper. Let's just talk about it!" Li Weidong interrupted Yang Yong.

"Okay, I'll just tell you what's going on. This fund to aid out-of-school youth in poor areas has just been established and is raising funds through multiple channels. Our grassroots civil affairs department also received a notice to raise funds, so I came to see Li

Now that I have become the factory director, I hope that Director Li can donate generously and dedicate some love to the out-of-school children in poor areas." Yang Yong said.

"It is a good thing to help out-of-school children in poor areas continue to complete their studies and improve the educational conditions in poor areas! I must donate this love." Li Weidong smiled slightly and then asked: "As for how much to donate,

Director Yang, I would like to ask, how much has the company in our district donated at most?"

"Fifty thousand yuan!" Yang Yong replied without hesitation.

In the 1990s, the average monthly salary of state-owned enterprise employees had reached 200 yuan. At that time, a household with 10,000 yuan was no longer a rarity. If a husband and wife were both in a state-owned enterprise, their two-year salary would be almost equivalent to the creation of

A household worth ten thousand yuan.

However, 50,000 yuan is still a lot of money. You can buy a house in Pudong New Area and still have some leftover.

Li Weidong thought for a moment and then said: "Then I will also donate 50,000 yuan! After all, our electric furnace factory is only a township enterprise, and there are many large state-owned enterprises in the district. It is not convenient for us to be too public in this kind of thing, so we follow the highest standards

Donate.”

When he heard that Li Weidong wanted to donate 50,000 yuan, Yang Yong's face suddenly burst into laughter.

"Director Li is indeed generous. On behalf of the children in impoverished mountainous areas, I would like to thank Director Li for his generous donation!" Yang Yong said hurriedly.

Li Weidong is unambiguous about his dedication to Project Hope, and he is also capable of donating more money.

However, considering that this is a charity event organized by a collective, Li Weidong feels that it is better not to stand out. You can donate more money, but you must not stand out from the crowd. Just being on par with other companies is enough.

After all, there are many enterprises in the district, and many of them are state-owned enterprises with a long history. In front of so many big brothers, there is no need for the electric furnace factory to stand out.

If the younger brother donates more than the elder brother, then the elder brother will lose face! Later, he will bear grudges, but he did bad things with good intentions.

When it comes to donating money to a collective organization, donating more or less is not good. For example, if a leader donates 1,000 yuan, and if you donate 2,000 yuan, wouldn’t it slap the leader in the face?

For example, if colleagues in the same department all donate 500 yuan, and you donate 1,000 yuan, it is also a slap in the face of your colleagues. Your colleagues will think it's a good idea to show off your family's wealth, right?

Therefore, it is a safer way to donate according to others.

…

Donating money to Project Hope is a good thing, so the district should naturally focus on publicizing it.

So a few days later, Li Weidong was called to the district to participate in an on-site donation meeting.

Leaders of companies in Dongcheng District who had donated a lot came to the scene, and Yang Yong introduced the process of the donation meeting to everyone one by one.

"Factory directors, when you are asked to take the stage, you will hold your donation sign, go to the podium, and then take a photo with the leader. The leader will issue you a certificate of honor. This is the specific process. As for your donations,

Our Civil Affairs Bureau has already prepared the sign for you."

As Yang Yong spoke, he said to a clerk behind him: "Bring over the donation signs and distribute them to the factory directors."

The clerk nodded, and then brought a box. Inside the box were large thick cardboards, almost one meter long and half a meter wide, with red paper pasted on them, and large characters written with a brush on the red paper.

Li Weidong took a closer look and found that the format and content on these red papers were all the same. They were basically XX units or factories donating XX yuan.

The clerk handed out the cardboard, and after a while Li Weidong also took the thick cardboard with the words "Donate 50,000 yuan to Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory".

"The calligraphy written in calligraphy is quite large. When I take pictures later, I can see it clearly." Li Weidong thought to himself.

At this time, a person next to him said: "Oh, Director Li is so generous. He donated 50,000 yuan."

The speaker was the leader of a state-owned enterprise in Dongcheng District. Li Weidong subconsciously looked at the cardboard in his hand, which read a donation of 30,000 yuan.

"Why did he only donate 30,000 yuan? With the scale and efficiency of their business, they must have donated 50,000 yuan!"

Li Weidong thought to himself, but he said: "Education is the basis of a century-old plan! Everyone is doing something for children in poor areas. It doesn't matter how much money you have, as long as it comes from your heart."

Then Li Weidong started to look at the cardboard in other people's hands.

"Twenty thousand, twenty thousand, fifteen thousand, thirty thousand, twenty thousand, ten thousand, fifteen thousand, twenty-five thousand, thirty thousand..."

Li Weidong discovered to his surprise that other people's donations were up to 30,000 yuan, and none exceeded 40,000 yuan.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that the top company donated 50,000 yuan? How come I'm the only one who donated 50,000 yuan!"

The next second, Li Weidong realized that he had been deceived by Yang Yong!

Yang Yong said that companies in the district would donate more than 50,000 yuan, which was obviously a lie. In order to get Li Weidong to donate more than one yuan, Yang Yong deliberately exaggerated the number.

In Yang Yong's view, if he said a figure of 50,000, Li Weidong would have to donate 25,000 anyway!

But I didn't expect that Li Weidong was so down-to-earth and didn't negotiate the price. He directly donated 50,000 yuan to Project Hope.

"This Yang Yong looks honest and honest on the surface, but I didn't expect to be so cunning! Also, this guy's acting skills are quite realistic. When I asked him about it, he didn't hesitate at all and said 50,000 yuan.

! I also have a responsibility. I just thought about donating to the Hope Project and didn’t ask in detail."

Li Weidong looked around helplessly. The sign in his hand that donated 50,000 yuan was indeed outstanding.

"I don't want to be the one in the spotlight, but I am the one in the spotlight! This is great. I have stolen the limelight from other factories, and I will definitely offend a lot of people! Forget it, donating to Project Hope is a good thing, so just treat it as

Let’s stand out once and for all!”
