Chapter 309: Women are not allowed to stay in college

Li Jilin has been very busy recently.

In addition to presiding over the daily work of Liansheng, he is currently focusing on two things.

The first is about Liansheng's overall contracting and operation of the Jiangchuan State-owned Cannery. He needs to conduct a survey of the 46 municipal and district canneries. These contracted canneries will later be processed by Liansheng to expand production capacity and then reorganize and merge.

There is a game involved here, because if you want to revitalize the city's canneries through contracting and management, you will inevitably need huge amounts of money to resolve historical debts and invest huge amounts of money to push the 46 canneries back into operation. Naturally, Liansheng has to pay this money, so Zhang Yunqi unceremoniously put forward a lot of demands. After accepting these 46 canneries, the profits generated will be divided 46-5 between Liansheng and the municipal government. The government needs to reduce or exempt all local taxes and fees including income tax and business tax for the canneries within years. In addition, Liansheng reserves the right to acquire part or all of the assets of the canneries during the contract period.

The contract conditions were quite harsh, so Mayor Yang Jiarong brought together the heads of 46 canneries and Li Jilin to hold a coordination meeting.

With the mayor in charge, there can be no quarrel, but the factory managers have many different opinions. The situations in each factory are different. Many factory managers attribute the failure of their factories to the market squeeze by Liansheng. Of course, the failure of a factory to survive does not mean that the factory manager cannot survive. The factory is not valuable, but the land is valuable. People's hearts are different. These factory managers have many ideas.

Liao Gang, the director of Jufeng Food Cannery, is a middle-aged man with a greasy head and a fat brain. He spoke rather sharply at the meeting: "Boss Li, I have two questions. The condition for Liansheng's contracting and operating is to reduce or exempt all taxes and fees levied by local finances. Isn't this just digging a piece of the city's fiscal revenue? Liansheng reserves the right to acquire part or all of the assets of the cannery during the contract period. Is this going to follow the old path of Longjingyuan and take the high-quality land? I know that Longjingyuan is now in a turmoil. Liansheng acquired Longjingyuan just over a year ago, and it wants to close the old factory area to free up the high-quality land. The employees are quite dissatisfied."

No matter what purpose Liao Gang had, his question was still very reasonable, but the contract conditions were set by Zhang Yunqi, and Li Jilin knew his boss quite well. Since he said so, he must do so.

Liansheng's contracting and management requires the reduction or exemption of all taxes and fees levied by the local finance. Li Jilin thinks there is nothing wrong with this. Running a business is not charity. Liansheng has to invest such a large amount of money to fill the hole, and the government should give preferential policies.

As for taking the cannery's prime land, this is certainly the core purpose, but since it is a contract operation and does not involve property rights, it cannot be said to be stealing state-owned capital. Even if the city government reserves the right to acquire part or all of the cannery's assets during the contract period, it is impossible for it to easily include the vacated prime land. Moreover, the factory directors can express their opinions on whether these canneries should be contracted and how to contract them, but they have no say. The final decision will still be made by Yang Jiarong.

The second matter was even more complicated. Receiving laid-off workers from the state-owned factories in Jiangchuan City was a major problem in the process of restructuring state-owned enterprises, and it was quite complicated. But for those state-owned enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy, this was a great thing. For a while, Li Jilin's office became a tourist attraction for many heads of municipal and district state-owned enterprises.

At such a critical juncture, a fire broke out in the backyard of the Longjingyuan Cannery, and the workers caused trouble, resulting in the shutdown of the production line. Li Jilin had not expected this, and he did not have the energy to take care of it at the moment. The person in charge of the production and operation of Longjingyuan was the deputy director Liu Huaqing, who was Liu Zicheng's father.

When Li Jilin received the news that day, he rushed to Longjingyuan. After calming down the troubled employees with his earnest words, he held a meeting with Zhang Yunqi and the middle and senior management of the factory.

It was already early morning when I got home.

My daughter Li Yufei was still awake, sitting on the sofa watching TV. After school this afternoon, she saw herself surrounded by employees. This seemingly well-behaved daughter actually rushed up and pushed the employees away, loudly asking them what they were doing.

Thinking of that scene, Li Jilin still felt sad and relieved.

What made him, as a parent, alert was that the girl was escorted home from school today by a boy. If it was an ordinary classmate, he would not have taken it too seriously. But the boy drove a luxury car and was not at all nervous when meeting him, a parent. He was definitely not an ordinary child, which made him worried. But now his daughter has grown up and is very thoughtful, so some things are not easy to say out loud.

"Director Li, you haven't had dinner yet, I'll cook noodles for you." Li Yufei saw her father coming back, put down the remote control, got up and took a pair of cotton slippers for him to change into. Li Jilin was so busy that he was too hungry. Thinking about the many things that Liansheng was dealing with, he had no appetite, but when he heard his daughter say this, he smiled and said, "I'll go downstairs by myself, you go to bed quickly, it's so late, and you have to go to school tomorrow."

Li Yufei walked to the kitchen: "Then I'll help you."

Li Jilin thought about it and probably knew that his daughter had something to say to him. Coincidentally, he also had something to say.

Li Jilin followed in with his hands behind his back. Li Yufei was wearing an apron and preparing to cut onions. Li Jilin smiled and said, "Yufei, I remember one time your mother asked you to cut a bunch of onions to make fried rice cakes. You cried so hard that you never touched onions again."

"It's all a trivial matter from a long time ago. What's the big deal about shedding a few tears for the one you love?" Li Yufei tilted her head and smiled sweetly: "By the way, Director Li, why do people in the factory have such strong opinions about the closure of the old factory?"

Li Jilin smiled and said, "Closing down the old factory means that everyone has to go to the remote Yunxi Village to work. How can there not be a lot of objections?" After a pause, he continued, "But this is not the key point. The company has long expected this. The key point is what to do with the old factory after closing it. Developing commercial real estate is of course the most profitable way. Many people inside and outside want to do this, but if they really do this, it will not only be a big objection, but will also arouse public anger. The workers' unrest this time is a lesson for us."

Li Yufei stopped cutting green onions. She seemed to be unable to hold back. "I don't understand. Doesn't Longjing Garden belong to Zhang Yunqi? What right do others have to criticize and interfere with what he wants to do? Do those uncles and aunts who are making trouble in Longjing Garden know how to write the word 'gratitude'? If it weren't for Yunqi's help to bring Longjing Garden back to life, they should be on the street now..."

Li Jilin waved his hand to interrupt Li Yufei: "You shouldn't be so extreme."

Li Yufei insisted: "It's extreme, but it's true."

Li Jilin was a bit helpless about his daughter: "Although Longjing Garden was insolvent at the beginning and the entire acquisition process was legal and compliant, no matter what, in the eyes of others, Liansheng acquired Longjing Garden without paying a penny. If Zhang Yunqi develops the real industry down to earth, creates jobs, increases farmers' income, and promotes the development of Jiangchuan's real economy, then there will be no problem. But if he engages in commercial real estate development, he will definitely be accused of stealing state-owned assets."

Li Yufei put down the kitchen knife: "Do you think Zhang Yunqi is such a person?"

Li Jilin opened his mouth, and suddenly he couldn't help but wonder, why would his daughter be so serious with her biological father for an outsider?
Yufei was never like this before.

Hey, girls can’t be kept at home when they grow up.

He originally wanted to ask about the boy who drove her home in a luxury car today, but now it seems completely unnecessary.

"You know what kind of person Zhang Yunqi is better than I do." Li Jilin walked to the coal stove, boiled water and cooked noodles, and said meaningfully: "How about this, invite him to have a meal at home tomorrow?"
