Chapter 64 Needless to say, I bought it
"Hello, Mr. Lin!"
As soon as the middle-aged man saw Lin You getting out of the car, he immediately came up to meet him.
Lin You also walked forward quickly and took the initiative to extend his left hand to him.
The man was stunned for a moment, then with a sincere smile, he stretched out his remaining left hand and held it with Lin You.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you to come out to greet you."
"Mr. Lin is willing to take over this factory. It's a big help. He should come out to greet you." The middle-aged man's name is Zhou Jingzheng, who is the owner of this factory.
He was very calm about the difficulties encountered by the factory, "Besides, there are only a few steps to go."
"Then can I trouble you, Mr. Zhou, to take us in and have a look?"
"Yes, let's go this way!" Mr. Zhou led Lin You and Yue Pengju into the unmanned factory, carefully introducing Lin You to them as they walked.
Lin You soon discovered that the situation in this factory was far better than he expected.
According to the boss's introduction and Lin You's observations, the factory's equipment is actually not bad.
Upgrading the equipment not only cost the factory all its savings, but also borrowed a lot. The old employees of the factory also devoted themselves to regular maintenance of the equipment. So even now, the factory's facilities are fully sufficient.
The only problem is - I can't get the order.
The transition from a state of war to a state of peace brings profound and long-lasting pain.
The demand for armaments has dropped significantly, and the birth of new industries has been far slower than the rate at which a large number of factories have gone bankrupt.
Boss Zhou is a retired soldier due to injury, and many of the technical staff in this factory are veterans.
Even according to Boss Zhou, before the factory became unmanned, most of the workers were retired soldiers. However, the situation in the factory continued to deteriorate, and many people without technical skills left voluntarily to find their own way out because they did not want to be a burden to everyone.
went.
However, the reduction of employees could not save the factory. There were no orders and it was unable to make ends meet, and it could not afford the equipment loan.
If it weren't for the general respect for veterans in Daxia society and the policy support, the factory would have been repossessed and auctioned to pay off debts.
So there are only two problems that need to be solved to buy this factory, one is to pay off the bank loan, and the other is to take over the existing employees.
Boss Zhou was very candid: "Mr. Lin, this is the situation. I won't hide it from you. Not all those who stay in the factory are skilled workers. There are many old employees who have been in the factory for half their lives, and their skills can no longer keep up.
Times have changed, but I promised when I took over the factory that I would not give up on anyone."
"I have tried my best. I just want to at least keep the factory going until these old people retire. They can get their pensions smoothly and have security for the rest of their lives." At this point, his eye circles were a little red, "But I
The ability is really limited, and now the factory can no longer even pay their pension insurance."
After a pause, he said with some difficulty: "I really have no choice."
"The factory still owes 60 million to the bank for loans. If you can guarantee not to fire employees and allow them to retire safely, then you only need to come up with another 50 million, and the factory will be yours."
This is indeed a fire sale. If it weren't for the difficulty of selling the equipment and assembly lines, the loan could be paid off just by selling the equipment. Unfortunately, it cannot be sold, and once sold, the factory will lose the qualification to continue operating.
Everyone has to break up.
Lin You took a rough look at the hundreds of employees left in the factory. Most of them were fifty-five years old and above. Perhaps less than half of them were actually technical staff, and nearly half of them had varying degrees of experience.
disabled.
“How much are these employees paid each month?”
"Including the insurance that needs to be paid, everyone adds it up, which is about 650,000 per month."
"650,000." Lin You repeated in a low voice. He thought about the 1 billion in the company account that had not been spent yet. Then he thought about the nearly 10 million in deposits in his personal account. It didn't sound like much.
And considering that there are nearly a hundred people, the income of skilled workers must be much higher than that of ordinary employees. After deducting the pension insurance paid, many of them may only earn 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a month.
Lin You couldn't help but think of a statement he had seen before -
Two million can actually buy out many people's lives.
Seeing Lin You fall silent, Zhou Jingzheng thought he was too much, so he gritted his teeth and said, "It can be lowered a bit. I'll tell them and everyone will understand."
"No need, I bought the factory." Lin You stopped thinking about it and made his decision immediately.
"Ah?" Lin You's decisiveness made the middle-aged man a little dazed.
"But I have a request."
"you say."
"I hope you stay and become the director of the factory. How about that?"
"Ah?" Zhou Jingzheng didn't expect this request, "Of course it's no problem."
If he continues to be the director of the factory, he can also take better care of these old employees.
"The money will arrive early tomorrow morning." Now that Lin You has made a decision, he will naturally not hesitate any longer. After all, this is a critical period and time is precious.
"There are three things you need to do."
"Please tell me!" Zhou Jingzheng's tone was full of determination. As long as the factory and these employees could tide over the difficulties, he would do anything.
"First: pay off the loan. Second, increase the salary of technical talents by one-third, and provide an additional subsidy for disabled employees, so as to increase the total monthly salary to 800,000."
Lin You has already learned that in order to help the factory tide over the difficulties, technical employees have gone through two rounds of salary reductions, and even the second round was proactive.
Now that he wants to buy this factory, he must not let the technical talents suffer any more.
But you can’t mention too much at once for no reason. You still have to achieve some results before improving.
"Finally, adjust the production line and prepare to start work!"
"No problem!" Zhou Jingzheng's eyes were wet and he was excited. "I'm going to call everyone together to let them get to know the new boss and announce the good news by the way?"
"No, no, no." Lin You quickly waved his hand and refused, "It's not necessary, you can just carry on as usual. I'm going to arrange the lawyers and contracts. I'll be here today."
"Okay." Zhou Jingzheng ignored Lin You's refusal and sent Lin You to the car all the way. He still stood there and waved his hand to the car that was driving away for a long time.
Done! Lin You fisted and palmed each other, quite satisfied.
We already have our own factory, will the space carrier be far behind?
Of course, of course, one has to be down-to-earth in life, and for now, of course, we are still producing Yunmeng’s virtual reality game console.
Originally, he thought this would be a troublesome matter and asked Qin Songyun to discuss the next factory first. But he didn't expect that he would take care of Yunmeng's own factory so quickly.
Then you have to inform Qin Songyun to slow down the steps.
No matter what, you have to fill up the production load of your own factory first. According to Lin You's estimate, the weekly production capacity of Zhou Jingzheng's factory is probably less than 1 million units.
Now it will take some time to adjust the production line, smooth production and increase production capacity.
But this is not a problem. It is much simpler to expand production capacity based on the original factory than to build a factory from scratch.
In the factory, Zhou Jingzheng had already excitedly announced the good news to the old employees in the factory.
"Mr. Lin decided to buy the factory and help the factory pay off the bank loan, and the order problem was also solved!"
"Not only will the factory not close down, but it will soon be revitalized. It will soon start operating at full capacity and resume production!"
"No one will be laid off!"
“Salary increase for all technicians!”
“Additional subsidies for disabled employees!”
"Production goes smoothly and all employees get bonuses!"
"Our hard days are coming to an end!"
The cheers in the factory instantly filled the sky, and many people even turned their heads and secretly wiped away tears.
Zhou Jingzheng watched all this and felt extremely grateful to Lin You.
————
In contrast to these grateful employees, NetDragon's Lieyan project team is full of resentment.
And quite a few of them no longer intend to endure it any longer.
Including Fan Rui, four middle managers and eighteen subordinates knocked on the door of the human resources department office with their resignation letters.
