Chapter 249: Convincing the Mayor [3400]

Listen to Lu Yang say this.

The expression on Xu Changping's face finally relaxed.

It's not about cutting orders.

As the deputy mayor in charge of economy, he is now walking on thin ice.

We must focus on the economy.

Maintaining stability for laid-off workers must also be addressed.

It is not a good idea to walk on one leg. If you manage the economy well, it will naturally be a political achievement and your resume will look good. But if something is disclosed in the process and a big mess occurs, then in one sentence: stability is above all else.

It would be enough to wipe out all the political achievements he had worked hard for over the years.

Not only that.

From then on, his resume was tarnished.

"If you can't even maintain stability, who would dare to promote you and risk being implicated by you?"

"right???"

There is no doubt that with such a result, his career would basically be over.

That’s why there is an official slang called “Do less and make fewer mistakes; do nothing and make no mistakes; do more and make more mistakes”.

This sentence is particularly suitable for mediocre people, commonly known as official scoundrels.

Xu Changping is still in his prime, in his forties, with ideals and ambitions. He does not want to be a mediocre person, nor does he want to be just a bureaucrat.

But even so, he didn't want to risk his career.

A great man once said it well.

We must do both things well and both hands must be strong. We must do both to maintain stability and to develop the economy. We must seek development in stability. This is the right way to go.

So I just saw him, silent for a while.

Probably analyzing how true or false Lu Yang's words above are.

Without letting Lu Yang wait any longer, he asked him, "It will cost a lot of money to buy the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory. It is not cheap. The factory area is there, and the location is in the city. There are already many eyes watching, and even I can't help you.

In recent years, there have been repeated rumors that the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory is going to be restructured. The municipal government is also in favor of this and has held meetings to study the issue more than once or twice. Why has it failed time and time again?
Does the city not want to get rid of this burden?

neither.

Because of its special nature.

When the Welfare Cotton Mill was founded, it was not intended to make a profit.

It is entirely for the public good.

This factory was established at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China in response to the superior's care for disabled and mentally retarded people and to meet the employment needs of disabled and mentally retarded people in cities.

There are historical reasons for this.

The difficulty facing it now is that if it wants to reform, it cannot avoid one unit.

That is the Disabled Persons’ Federation.

The Disabled Persons’ Federation requires that no matter how the Welfare Cotton Textile Factory is restructured, whether it is reorganized or completely sold off, the people who will move in in the future must be individuals or organizations.

The government must provide a safety net and protect the rights of people with disabilities.

1: No employee may be fired without reason.

2. If the factory continues to suspend operations, the municipal government will provide a minimum living allowance. If the factory resumes operations, the company must pay the disabled workers on time, and the monthly salary must not be lower than the average level over the years.

3. You may not, for any reason, resell the factory, file for bankruptcy, or change the nature of the enterprise.

Let me explain the third point to you. The third point is to prevent some people from wanting to fish in troubled waters. After taking over the factory, they turn around and file for bankruptcy, close the factory, lay off the workers, and finally get rid of the burden, leaving only the valuable piece of land.

Don't underestimate the Disabled Persons' Federation.

This road is now almost blocked.

As far as I know, many people have considered taking over the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory, but after learning about the three red lines drawn by the Disabled Persons' Federation, they all backed off.

You need to think carefully about this.”

After saying so much, there are only two key points to sum up.

Is the money enough?
Responsibility, are you ready to take it?
This is not playing house.

Behind every two hundred deaf-mute disabled female workers, there are often at least two hundred disabled families.

If you don't have the courage to take responsibility.

It is best to give up as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to regret it.

After hearing this, Lu Yang frowned slightly.

I didn't expect that there was such a secret behind this.

It seems that not all people are fools, lacking foresight and not understanding the future value of the city government and the surrounding large amounts of land.

There are still many people with foresight.

But they were all scared away.

That was Lu Yang's chance.

There are both pros and cons here.

On the positive side, if he starts the acquisition of Fuli Cotton Textile Factory now and the news gets out, there shouldn't be too many people competing with him, Lu Yang.

Maybe someone would laugh at him and call him a fool for bringing trouble upon himself.

On the downside, if the acquisition is successful, Fuli Cotton Textile Factory will become Lu Yang's wholly-owned factory. For Lu Yang:

It is correct to solve the problem that some raw materials may be bottlenecks.

When the factory is expanded, another garment workshop will be opened to solve part of the problem of insufficient production capacity. Especially now that it involves cooperation with Mou Qizhong, all the winter clothes that will be used to replace large aircraft in the future will be made in this workshop of the disabled factory.

This is Lu Yang's plan, and it is correct and can be implemented. But if the real estate industry booms in the future and the land price rises rapidly, Lu Yang wants to sell the land and move the factory to the suburbs.

That won't work.

With these three red lines in place, if he is not careful, and someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of them, Lu Yang might be condemned by thousands of people.

So what can we do?

Unless the government collects the taxes themselves, then Lu Yang won't have to take the blame.

Lu Yang thought for a moment, then said, "Money is not a problem. As for the workers, I am confident that I can digest them internally. Although the machines in the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory are now outdated, the fabrics, weaving methods, colors, and tie-dyeing techniques are all outdated, but it doesn't matter. In a short period of time, I can digest all the fabrics it weaves internally and sell them to Big Brother in the north, so I still want to give it a try."

Make quick money.

Not shabby.

In the future, when we have more money, we can naturally upgrade the existing textile machines and replace them all.

After all, there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by money.

As for being worried about Mou Qizhong and not coming to him for cooperation?

This is not a problem either.

There are bargains at hand.

There are clothes suitable for the people in the north who are the big brother. They are cheap and of good quality, but the feel is a bit poor, the workmanship is a bit rough, and the style is a bit outdated. But what does that matter?
These few years.

Those who take advantage of Big Brother's illness and suck his blood will not be despised.

Get the message out.

Pull the thing over.

When the time comes, just use the sack to hold the money.

Lu Yang just didn't want to take risks, nor did he have to become a smuggler himself. Although it is said that officials will not investigate unless the people report it, everyone does this these days. Some capable people can even charter a train carriage. They all show their magical powers, as if as long as they can get some good things back from Big Brother, they are all good children. As parents, how could they punish them?
Right?

The truth is this.

But not pursuing it now does not mean that the stain has disappeared, nor does it mean that it will not be pursued in the future.

If you offend anyone in the future and someone wants to find fault with you, this will be a ready-made opportunity.

If Lu Yang had not been reborn, he might have taken the risk.

It's the herd mentality.

Everyone is fine, it's impossible that they're only checking on me, right?
But since he was a reborn person, there was no need for that. Even in the late 80s and early 90s, if he did not go to the north and suck blood from the Russian bear, he could still achieve a huge increase in his wealth through other means.

Seeing Lu Yang is so confident.

Xu Changping stopped trying to persuade him: "Okay, I agree in principle. You can acquire the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory. But my agreement alone is not enough. You still have to go to the Standing Committee and have everyone vote by raising their hands. Only after everyone agrees can your acquisition process begin.

and,

In addition, you'd better personally comfort the current management of Fuli Cotton Textile Factory and the disabled deaf-mute workers, and provide them with protection through practical actions, and show them that you can bring them a new life, rather than a worse life than the current one. Otherwise, if any of them report to the municipal government or oppose the government's sale of the factory, then your acquisition will definitely not be successful."

Lu Yang nodded and said, "What the leader said is right. My uncle Meng also taught me this."

Xu Changping smiled and said, "It seems that great minds think alike. If there is a chance, I would like to sit down and have a good chat with your stepfather."

Lu Yang quickly said, "Of course there is no problem. There will definitely be opportunities in the future. If I didn't know that you were busy, I would have invited you home tonight."

Xu Changping nodded at Lu Yang and said, "You, I don't know who you learned this skill of being so slick and flattering from. You are not a civil servant and are not in the system, but you have learned all the flattering skills of the system. If I hadn't seen that your business is quite successful, I would have advised you to just give up the civil service exam and join the system to mix in the officialdom. I guarantee that you will soon become a veteran in the officialdom."

I don’t know whether this is a compliment or not.

Lu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"If you say that, leader, I will be ashamed to stay here any longer. How about I leave?"

Having said that, he pretended to stand up.

Xu Changping would not indulge him. He waved his hand like he was chasing away a fly and said, "Go, go, go, go, go and do your own thing. I have a meeting this afternoon and I don't have time to chat with you here. I have a lot of documents to approve later."

We have already finished talking about everything that needed to be discussed. Instead of chasing people away, they are keeping them here. Are they planning to give them lunch for free?
Just in time.

Secretary Tang brought over two cups of freshly brewed tea.

Lu Yang picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. The tea was a little hot to his mouth, so he couldn't help but grimace and even stick out his tongue.

Then he sat down angrily.

Hey, I'm not leaving yet.

Xu Changping shook his head. As the deputy mayor, he would not act like a child like the young man in front of him.

Stay if you want.

Stay as long as you like.

He gave Secretary Tang, who was a little overwhelmed, a look and said, "Go and get all the documents that need to be signed. If anyone wants to see me, please postpone it to the afternoon. Boss Lu must be hungry and wants to stay for a meal. When you are done, go to the cafeteria and order some dishes. I will accompany Boss Lu to have a simple meal in our office cafeteria."

Look, this is the pattern.

As the deputy mayor, he can still afford a simple meal.

Lu Yang curled his lips.

I saw Secretary Tang was about to go downstairs.

"never mind."

"I won't eat."

"You are busy this afternoon, but I am not idle either. I have an appointment with Chief Engineer Jiang Wanli to install a color TV subtitle machine for our city's central hospital. I can't break the appointment for the first time, so I'd better use this morning to go to the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory to take a look. I don't want to make a fool of myself before I even understand the actual situation. Let's go, Mayor, you are busy."

Is the food in the government offices delicious? Lu Yang doesn't know.

However, getting too close to some politicians, not knowing how to restrain oneself, and showing off in public is definitely not what a businessman should do.

Before Lu Yang was reborn, he had heard this saying: Be close to the government and stay away from politics!

He thinks it makes sense!
