Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan's business jet took off from Kobe New Airport and flew directly to Xinjing Longcheng International Airport without stopping. Due to the weather, it took a slight detour on the way. It was rainy and snowy when entering the country, so it was slower than planned.

The time is about ten minutes late.

Fang Mingyuan already knew before coming to Xinjing that Wu Yongjiang would greet him at Xinjing Longcheng International Airport. After all, the cooperation between JFE Steel Co., Ltd. and Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Corporation to acquire Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. is currently only an intention, and on this issue

, Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company has more say. He came to Xinjing this time to talk to Wu Yongjiang, not only Gaoxian Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., but also Deguang Electronics Group's investment in Qingshan Province and future Russia

Only Wu Yongjiang is well aware of issues such as exports from the border areas, so that he can better cooperate with the Qingshan Provincial Government in the future. After all, in this three-acre land, the Fang family's influence is still very weak.

However, when he stepped off the business jet and saw the people under the gangway, Fang Mingyuan was still surprised. Although he had not met formally, since he planned to open up the situation in the three northeastern provinces, the information of the main cadres in these three provinces, Fang Mingyuan

I also did my homework in advance.

"I'm really flattered to be able to alert Governor Zhi to come in person!" Fang Mingyuan took the initiative to extend his hand and said. The first person standing under the gangway was none other than Zhi Hejun, the second-in-command of Qingshan Province. This surname is relatively popular in China.

If it is rare, Fang Mingyuan will naturally remember it more deeply.

▼Zhi Hejun took Fang Mingyuan’s outstretched hand and said, "Young Master Fang is too polite. You are a distinguished guest that our province cannot even invite. It is appropriate to welcome you." Standing behind him

Wu Yongjiang, with a somewhat incomprehensible look in his eyes, came to greet Fang Mingyuan. It was Zhi Hejun who came on his own initiative and did not say hello to him beforehand. Although, with Fang Mingyuan's current influence at home and abroad, Zhi Hejun came here on his own initiative.

It wasn't too much to come to pick him up at the airport, but it still made Wu Yongjiang feel a little strange.

"This is not the place to talk. I know Mr. Fang doesn't like to be high-profile, so only Lao Wu and I are here. If we have anything to say, we can discuss it in detail on the road." Zhi Hejun chuckled, "I'm old now.

I just can't stand the cold." Zhi Hejun said this, so Fang Mingyuan and Wu Yongjiang naturally had nothing to say. Everyone quickly got in the car.

"Master Fang, I want to thank you this time. If the Qinxi Airport Group Company hadn't taken over the Qingshan Provincial Civil Aviation Airport Group Company, the province would have been unable to open the pot." Zhi Hejun said proactively, "This time the Carrefour Group

It has also played an extremely important role in stabilizing the social order of Qingshan Province. On behalf of the Qingshan Provincial Committee and Provincial Government, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Fang."

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "The governor is too polite. Taking over Qingshan Civil Aviation Airport Group Company is also an important part of the future development of Qinxi Airport Group Company. Carrefour Group, as the leading enterprise in the domestic retail chain industry,

It also needs to have a sense of social responsibility, which we have always valued since its inception."

"It's true. When domestic commodity prices were adjusted back then, commodity prices in various places soared, but commodity prices in Pingchuan County were stable. At that time, they were among the best in the country." Wu Yongjiang said with a smile.

"What Deputy Governor Wu said is that we also made a lot of efforts for this at the beginning, but later we also received a lot of rewards for it." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. "This also made us more determined to do this.

The determination of a socially responsible business.”

"Yes, Carrefour Group is indeed a socially responsible company. It has set a lot of examples for other companies in the industry in terms of cracking down on counterfeit goods, ensuring consumers' rights and interests, and stabilizing prices."

He Jun nodded and said, "I also hope that in the future, the companies under the Fang family can give more boost to the economic development of Qingshan Province. Mr. Fang came here this time for Japan JFE Steel Co., Ltd. and Liao Provincial Steel

Did you come here about the group company's cooperative acquisition of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd.? The province attaches great importance to this matter. If you have any difficulties, just raise them, Mr. Fang, and the province will do its best to meet your reasonable needs."

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Since the governor said this, I won't be polite. There are indeed many aspects that require the cooperation of government departments."

"You're welcome, Mr. Fang. You came to Qingshan Province to invest and help us develop the economy, expand employment, and improve the economic income level of the local people. You have solved many problems for us, and of course we will provide help for your normal business operations.

"Zhi Hejun waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Currently, Japan's JFE Steel Co., Ltd. and our Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company are negotiating with relevant departments. I believe the two leaders are well aware of the current situation of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. The production capacity is not high and the products are still at the low end.

The production technology is still at the level of the 1970s and 1980s, and the personal professional quality of workers needs to be improved. Although it is still slightly profitable, the future profit prospects are not optimistic." Fang Mingyuan said bluntly.

"Master Fang's evaluation is spot-on! In just a few words, the shortcomings of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. were clearly stated, which is irrefutable." Wu Yongjiang said with a wry smile. As he is in charge of industrial production, he has no doubts about Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd.

The current situation is naturally quite understood.

Fang Mingyuan pressed his palms softly and continued: "If the two leaders thought that I intended to use this to lower the purchase price, then unfortunately, they guessed wrong. Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. should be worth whatever it is, Liao Province

The Iron and Steel Group Corporation and JFE Steel Co., Ltd. will not pay more, but the amount they should pay will not be a penny less than the province." Zhi Hejun and Wu Yongjiang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. They really thought that Fang Mingyuan

They wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the purchase price of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. A company worth tens of millions of yuan was acquired for just a few million yuan. They had seen similar situations countless times.

"I just want to tell the two leaders that the foundation of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. is too weak, even worse than Guangyao Steel Group Company, a private enterprise. So if our acquisition is successful, then in order to ensure the future development of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd.

If the products are competitive enough, reforms must be carried out. At that time, I hope that the province can view the reform measures of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. from a long-term perspective and an overall perspective, instead of being limited to one moment and one place." Fang Mingyuan said.

, "Of course, if possible, I will also fight with JFE Steel Co., Ltd. to make the reform more moderate."

"Master Fang means... there may be a large number of layoffs?" Zhi Hejun couldn't help but frowned.

"If you say it's a layoff, it's still a layoff. If you say it's not a layoff, it's not a layoff." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "I will lay off a thousand of the existing employees of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd., and then I will recruit another 1,200 people. What do you think I will do?"

Is this considered a layoff?" The current employees of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd., whether they are the negotiators of JFE Steel Co., Ltd. or Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Company, believe that most professional qualities are not enough to meet the needs of the new company in the future, although

The new company will definitely provide training to its employees, but not everyone can meet the standards they recognize through training. Therefore, in the future, the new Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. will definitely lay off some existing employees and recruit new employees. But

From the perspective of social order and stability, the local government and the provincial government hope that Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. will retain all current employees after the acquisition. Therefore, it is difficult for the two parties to reach an agreement on this issue.

Zhi Hejun frowned. Fang Mingyuan was right. He laid off 1,000 people and hired 1,200 more. Is this considered layoffs or recruitment? But he also understood why the province and the local government were struggling with this issue.

Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. is located in Tumen City, Gaoxian Prefecture, Qingshan Province, and Gaoxian Prefecture is an area where ethnic minorities are concentrated in the country. A large proportion of employees working in Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. are ethnic minorities, and it is close to the border, which is relatively sensitive.

.

But Fang Mingyuan's meaning is also very clear. After the acquisition of Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd., the existing employees will be retrained and qualified ones will be put on the job. If they still fail to meet the standards after training, it goes without saying that the new Gaoxian Steel

Co., Ltd. is a private enterprise, and it will definitely not support idle people. This seems fair, but because the technologies and products currently used in Gaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. are relatively low-end and backward, the professional quality of the employees recruited is very low.

...Haha, everyone knows that even after training, it is difficult to say how many people will be able to meet the standards of the new enterprise. Maybe a large number of people will be fired and then re-recruited.

"That's why we need the cooperation of the local government. For those employees who are dismissed because they do not meet our standards, there must be policy preferences and technical training to help them find suitable positions again." Fang Mingyuan said seriously, "If we talk about these fundamentals

If employees who fail to meet the company's standards remain in the factory, on the one hand it will be unfair to those employees who meet the standards, and on the other hand there will be production hazards, because Xingaoxian Steel Co., Ltd. will completely eliminate the current production lines and products."

"Comprehensive elimination?" Wu Yongjiang said with some surprise. The production line of Gaoxian Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. was only put into operation in 1995. It was a new machine at that time!

"Yes, total elimination!" Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "This time I talked with the person in charge of JFE Steel Co., Ltd. in Japan, and he meant the same. They are currently contacting other overseas steel plants to see if there are any

Who is willing to acquire it?" (To be continued...)
