Xu Zhenming and the three of them are all young people, and they share a lot of topics. They talked and laughed and came to the office building of the township government in Honghe Township.It was Vice Mayor Jiang in charge of industry who was in charge of receiving them and led them into a small meeting room.

In the meeting room, there were only two clerks from the township government, and the mayor Lin, who presided over the contract, had not yet come.

"Let's take a look at the "Agreement on the Transfer of Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory"! The head of the township Lin is in a meeting and can only come to preside over the signing negotiations later!"

Deputy Mayor Jiang handed Xu Zhenming a stack of printed contract documents.

Xu Zhenming is mechanical, but he is not very proficient in law.In his view, professional things are naturally done by professionals.So, he handed the contract documents he received to He Lu and Wang Zhuoya who was with him.

"How can this be done? How can all the employees of Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory be handed over to Xu Zhenming for resettlement? The issue of factory land use rights is also very vague! This agreement cannot be signed!"

Wang Zhuoya has a pungent personality. Seeing that there are loopholes in the cooperation agreement, she went crazy on the spot.

He Lu's personality is much more stable.She took out a notebook, and while copying the issues in the cooperation agreement, she frowned and shook her head.Xu Zhenming likes her character.

Seeing that the two big women who knew the law had seen the problem, Xu Zhenming also opened a contract and began to read it word by word.The more he looked down, the uglier his face became.

It turned out that the transfer agreement drafted by the Honghe Township Government was very different from the previously announced tender documents, and many of the terms became very harsh!

Is the Honghe Township Government going to regret it?Are you not going to sell Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory?

Thinking of this, he took out the bidding documents from the briefcase and compared them with the transfer contract in his hand.

Not long after, He Lu has read the contract text.Turning her head, she whispered to Xu Zhenming's ear to explain many unfavorable clauses in the contract.

A burst of jasmine scent hits, but Xu Zhenming has no intention to appreciate it.He frowned, thinking about the gains and losses if he gave up the deal.

"Other terms can be resolved through negotiation. With regard to the triangle debt of Honghe Town Agricultural Machinery Factory, Mr. Xu, you must be careful!" At this time, He Lu reminded Xu Zhenming repeatedly.

Several loans owed by the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory to the Agricultural Bank have expired, with a total of more than 280,000 yuan; and Honghe Township Textile Machinery Parts Factory owes Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory more than 290,000 yuan.

This is a typical triangular debt problem in the 1990s, and the township government intends to transfer the debts and debts of the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory to Xu Zhenming.

In the early days of reform and opening up, such situations were common!

In the 1980s, it was popular to pay off debts, and to use debt repayments to settle accounts; in the 1990s, triangular debts were popular, and several units without business connections even wiped each other's accounts.When some state-owned enterprises and township enterprises are restructuring, the takeover party has to bear the creditor's rights and debts.

However, the creditor's rights of Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory are bad debts.Because the current situation of Honghe Township Textile Machinery Parts Factory is not optimistic, and it is about to close down.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming picked up the text of the terms that He Lu had drafted for him and read it carefully.Then he asked with a serious expression:

"Mayor Jiang, we have already sorted out the inconsistencies in this contract with the bidding documents. Please have a look! We are more puzzled: Why does the township government change the terms of the bidding content?"

Vice mayor Jiang clearly knew the inside story, and his face was embarrassed.He was about to reply when Lin Xiangchang, who presided over the contract, strode into the meeting room.

"I'll answer your question!" Chief Lin said with a smile.Immediately, he lighted a cigarette without rushing, and after a few eloquences, he said, "These terms are determined after collective discussion at the office of the mayor. For now, these terms are in line with the current actual situation!"

After hearing these words, Xu Zhenming's heart trembled.In other words, if he is unwilling to sign this cooperation agreement, the Honghe Township Government does not care, and will treat this tender as a stale bid, either by bidding again or inviting again.

How can you vomit the meat in your mouth?

The short-term interest is plant and equipment, which can guarantee the development of the enterprise; the long-term interest is land, which can be exchanged for a large fortune in the future.When these benefits are obtained, other problems are not a problem!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming said with a wry smile: "Lin and Jiang! The current contract text is seriously inconsistent with the tender documents. As the winning bidder, we can sue the Honghe Township Government!"

While talking, he deliberately looked at the two beauties beside him.

Both Wang Zhuoya and He Lu studied law.Both of them nodded with serious expressions, and handed their business cards to the leaders present.

The leaders present knew this well and knew this for a long time, so their expressions naturally remained unchanged.

Only Deputy Chief Jiang's brow twitched a little.He still hopes that Xu Zhenming can accept the mess of the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory, so that he can lose his burden as soon as possible.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, you are the first candidate to win the bid, and we will respect your opinion and negotiate with you. If we can't agree, we will deal with the bidding in this bidding! We will not harm the national interest!"

At this time, the head of the township Lin spit out a mouthful of white smoke and spoke on behalf of the township government with a smile.

He said this so brightly that none of the leaders present would express any objections!Xu Zhenming would not maliciously guess the starting point of the head of Lin, and it was useless to think about it.He suddenly changed his style, smiled modestly, and said with a relaxed expression:

"We are aware of the difficulties of the township government. In order for the two sides to cooperate friendly, we are still willing to discuss with all the leaders here! Hope to continue this cooperation!"

The leaders present all hope that there will be no problems with this contract, including the head of Lin Xiang who presided over the contract.They are ready to start a posture and negotiate with Xu Zhenming one by one.

"Leaders, before the negotiation, let me state in advance: we must attach the bidding documents as an attachment to the text of the contract! I like this, and you have to suffer from it!"

Xu Zhenming was afraid that this assignment contract would have problems in the future and proposed preventive measures.

He did this with profound meaning.Later, when township and village enterprises were restructured, economic disputes of one kind or another appeared.He didn't want to be the same!

Fortunately, everyone present has no objection to his opinions.

After more than an hour of arguing, the terms of this contract text have finally been finalized!

During the period, both Wang Zhuoya and He Lu kept reminding Xu Zhenming: The Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory is too burdensome, and there are so many formal employees. Why?

Xu Zhenming believes that there are countless predicates, as long as you grasp the big and let go of the small.He had a calm expression throughout the negotiation process!

Regarding the land of the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory, the township government made a promise: it will complete the land transfer procedures for Xu Zhenming in early 1995.With this alone, Xu Zhenming has actually won.This piece of land was expropriated by a real estate development company more than ten years later, valued at hundreds of millions.

Regarding the placement of employees at the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory, Xu Zhenming made a concession: In addition to the retired employees, he plans to take over all other employees.In the early 1990s, retired employees were not under the control of the Labor Bureau, and the company was responsible for raising wages and medical security.This burden is a bit heavy, Xu Zhenming certainly cannot accept it!

As for the loan from the Agricultural Bank and the debts owed by the textile machinery parts factory, Xu Zhenming gladly accepted and prepared to pay the Honghe Township Government more than 10,000 yuan again.However, the Honghe Township Government wanted to guarantee the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory under his name.He wants to take a loan of 350,000 yuan from the Agricultural Bank, one to return the old accounts, and the other to start the operation of the factory.

In fact, Xu Zhenming's Dragon Card account now has more than 200,000 yuan in cash.However, he intends to use this money for emergency relief, and generally he does not want to use it.

Xu Zhenming basically controls the pace of negotiations.The leaders of the Honghe Township Government also believed him, and the two parties finally finalized the terms of the contract.The typist in the township government office hurriedly printed out the text and handed it to the mayor Lin and Xu Zhenming for signature confirmation.

After signing the agreement, the leaders of the Honghe Township Government were very happy: they finally got rid of the heavy burden of the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory; they did not make much concessions on other terms, which was in line with national policies.

Xu Zhenming is also very happy: He really owns his own factory.In recent years, private enterprises in Nan'an are still relatively difficult. Without the development zone to provide land and factories, it is difficult to develop and grow.

As for the former employees of the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory, it is not a burden to him, but an aid to the development of the enterprise!

In recent years, people in NA have a conservative mindset, and they all like to find a stable job.Nan'an Iron and Steel Group is their first choice, followed by state-owned enterprises.There is really no way, they will consider working in private enterprises.

After getting the contract, it is already time to leave work.

When the three came outside the township government compound, Wang Zhuoya asked curiously: "Naruko! Why did you give in? You have lost so much, at least hundreds of thousands!"

"There are more than 60 employees in Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory who need to be resettled. On average, each person spends 5,000 yuan to buy off the seniority, and it will also cost more than 300,000 yuan!" He Lu also said in a regretful tone.

Just now, the two of them had persuaded Xu Zhenming many times in the meeting.As legal advisers, both of them have done a good job.

Xu Zhenming grinned and said, “Workers are not burdens, and they don’t need to buy out their seniority to relocate them. On the contrary, they are the creators of social wealth. I think it’s a blessing to suffer a loss, and it’s okay to suffer a loss for these workers. They will help. I made my money back!"

He Lu and Wang Zhuoya still didn't understand Xu Zhenming's explanation, and shook their heads.

Seeing this situation, Xu Zhenming laughed and said, "Two beautiful women, I will invite you to dinner tonight, and get drunk and relieve your sorrow!"

He Lu shook his head, "Mr. Xu, you are welcome. I have to prepare documents when I go back. The court will be held tomorrow morning!"

"Boss Ho! You fight harder than me!"

Seeing this, Xu Zhenming smiled and joked.

He Lu's personality is a bit introverted, with a blushing smile.Immediately, she activated her Santana, and disappeared from the eyes of Xu Zhenming and Wang Zhuoya.

"Sister Zhuo Ya, I invite you to dinner!"

After watching He Lu leave, Xu Zhenming suddenly turned his face to invite Wang Zhuoya.

Wang Zhuoya was taking a peek at Xu Zhenming and was caught upright.She blushed and said in a panic: "No, no! Naruko, if you are willing to invite me to the opera, my sister is still willing!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhenming made a fainted posture: "Sister! Just forgive me! For me, watching an opera is not as good as listening to the sound of machine tools!"

"No fun! Dumb goose!"

Wang Zhuoya turned her head away pretending to be angry.She knew that Xu Zhenming had said this deliberately and was politely rejecting her suggestion!

After Wang Zhuoya was sent away, Xu Zhenming returned to the office building of the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory and gave the contract text to Sister Han, who had not yet finished get off work, and said: "Sister Han! Notify all employees of Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory that it will arrive at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Come to the factory for a meeting!"

Sister Han laughed and said, "Little Xu! Sister Xu should call you Mr. Xu from now on!"

"Yes! Secretary Han!" Xu Zhenming smiled.

At around nine o'clock in the morning of the second day, all the employees of the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory had arrived at the factory office building.I heard that my factory was about to resume production, and the employees who hadn't found a decent job arrived early in the morning.

At its peak, Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory had more than 120 employees. In addition to retired employees, there were more than 90 people.Most of these workers are residents in the market town of Honghe Township, and some are farmers in Honghe Township.

In the 1980s, farmers with registered permanent residence in rural areas wanted to work at the Honghe Township Agricultural Machinery Factory. At least they were junior high school graduates and some were high school graduates.

After the agricultural machinery factory ceased production, the employees in some ways were looking for a relationship and transferred. Some went to work in the Nan'an Iron and Steel Group, and some went to work in the city's state-owned enterprises.

Almost all the more than 60 employees who came to report today have nowhere to go.Among them, Wu Yan from the Sales Department, Li Lan from the Accounting Department, and Sun Chao from the Technical Department are the most prominent. They are all high school graduates and they are all young.

After reading the information of the three of them, Xu Zhenming is ready to focus on training them and cultivate reserve talents for the development of Yiming Company.When all the employees stood still in the large conference room, he said loudly:

"All the employees of the Agricultural Machinery Factory, first of all welcome you to join Yiming Company. Yiming Company is going through the registration procedures and will be the superior management unit of Honghe Town Agricultural Machinery Factory..."

He spoke concisely and read out the company's goals, labor discipline, wages, etc. aloud.Finally, he introduced Yiming's management team Han, Ma Jimin, Director Liu, Song and others to everyone.

After Xu Zhenming finished his speech, these employees were not calm.

Because they have to sign a three-month internship labor contract with Yiming Company. During the internship period, their wages will be halved and all will participate in on-the-job training.After the internship period expires, they have to pass an assessment before they can take up the job, and they are paid the same as the old workers in the machine repair workshop.

"I have been a lathe worker for more than ten years, and I can drive the bed with my eyes closed. Why do I need an internship? Why do I get half of my salary?"

"That is, which master dare to teach me the skills? Your boss has a dark heart. If you want to deduct our salary, just say it!"

"I'm quitting! I heard that Nan'an Iron and Steel Group is hiring again recently, and I'm going to register for Nan'an Iron and Steel Group's exam!"

In the conference room, these employees who had just come to report were all yelling as if they had exploded.

They all opposed the new regulations announced by Xu Zhenming!
