"Secretary Yang, I didn't disturb you." Xu Jie had just left for a while when the door opened and Qiao Ruihua walked in with a heavy face and asked in a low voice.

Yang Weiguo frowned slightly, but then stood up with a smile and said: "Haha. Mayor Qiao is here. Thank you for your hard work. How is it? The workers at Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant have persuaded them to go back." As he said this, he called Qiao Ruihua aside. Sit on the sofa and ask secretary Xie Jing to take out his good tea and make it for Qiao Ruihua.

"We've all gone back." Qiao Ruihua sat on the sofa a little tiredly. He sighed heavily and said, "Actually, we workers are very considerate and understanding of others. If it wasn't true, there would be nothing we could do. They are determined not to come here and cause us trouble. To be honest, when facing them, I, the mayor, really feel guilty and feel very uncomfortable."

Yang Weiguo felt a little contempt in his heart. You have only been here a few days. How guilty are you? Isn't this an insinuation, pointing fingers at Sang and Huaihuai? However, there was no strange color on his face. He picked up the water in the tea cup and took a sip. Then he said in a deep voice: "The steel plant has reached this stage. All our leading cadres have unshirkable responsibilities. But now is not the time to talk about responsibilities. Instead, we should find ways to solve these problems as soon as possible."

Of course Qiao Ruihua understood the implication. You have been in Wuxi just a few days, and I have been in Wuxi not long ago. These are all issues left over from history. None of us are responsible, but we all have obligations. In this kind of matter, we are all responsible. No need to tear each other down.

But now Qiao Ruihua didn't want to talk to Yang Weiguo. He said sadly: "Yes. We can wait. But tens of thousands of employees in the steel plant cannot wait. This mess is like a cancer. If we don't make up our mind to dig it out, If you drop it, it will cause pus and sores, and then it will be even more difficult to clean up."

"I just heard today that there are many retired old workers who have worked in the steel factory for a lifetime of revolutionary work. They have dedicated their youth to their children and grandchildren. They have become ill in old age. But the factory has not reimbursed them for more than two years. I have paid my medical expenses. At the same time, the employees in the factory have only received three months' salary in total this year, and they have not been paid in full. They are struggling to live. It is said that one employee has no money to pay tuition for his children. I was forced to almost jump into the river. We shout to serve the people every day, but if this problem cannot be solved, wouldn't it be a huge irony..."

"Yes." Yang Weiguo was also very emotional. He knocked on the table lightly and said decisively: "Promote the restructuring of enterprises in difficulty and help enterprises out of difficulties through various effective ways. This is the general climate from top to bottom. We must Urge the High-tech Zone to speed up the work process as soon as possible and implement the restructuring of Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant."

Qiao Ruihua pondered for a moment and said: "I think we should know more and analyze more about the restructuring of the steel plant. Only in this way can the restructuring be smooth and smooth. Practical, walk fast, and walk in a disciplined manner.”

"Oh." Yang Weiguo's face froze and he asked with a smile: "It seems that you don't agree with the restructuring plan of the High-tech Zone."

"It's not that I don't agree with it." Qiao Ruihua said seriously: "The restructuring plan reported by the High-tech Zone looks good. But I have been thinking about it these past few days. Why does restructuring require the introduction of mergers and acquisitions by foreign companies? In addition to selling at a low price Apart from state-owned assets, we are really helpless. There is no other better way."

Yang Weiguo said with a smile: "To solve the problem, the best way is of course to be pragmatic and operable. Taking the current situation of the steel plants, it is not an easy task to get them out of the predicament through government support. Enterprise problems should still be solved through market means. Although mergers and acquisitions are emotionally difficult to accept, it is not unacceptable. There are also cases of successful restructuring in other places. There will definitely be pain in the restructuring. But this kind of courage Breaking the rules and daring to cross the threshold can allow us to truly revitalize the enterprise and fundamentally solve the problems of the steel plant."

"But mergers and acquisitions do not mean selling off state-owned assets at a low price. Through restructuring, state-owned assets have not increased in value, but have shrunk significantly. What is the difference between this and giving away state-owned assets as favors? It is clearly the actual carving up of state-owned assets in the name of restructuring. No wonder. The workers in the steel plant will have such strong resistance." Qiao Rui Huaping said this, with some uncontrollable anger and indignation on his face.

"Mayor Qiao's words seem a bit alarmist." Yang Weiguo smiled slightly and took a sip of water from his teacup. He said calmly: "I have also seen the plan. Guoxing Group's acquisition of Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant is to spend real money. It's not like selling state-owned assets at a low price. Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant was audited and evaluated by the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission last year. The current asset value is 700 million, and the liabilities are as high as 1.1 billion. It is seriously insolvent. Under this situation. Guoxing Group is willing to take over the business. It is also willing to bear all the debts of the steel plant. This is already very good. Without introducing advanced management experience and production technology and completely breaking the original pattern, our restructuring will exist in name only."

At the end, Yang Weiguo glanced at Qiao Ruihua and said: "Of course. If Mayor Qiao has better ideas and methods, of course it would be the best. Our purpose is not to find a lower-cost solution. .Is it more efficient? A solution that is more beneficial to both enterprises and the government?"

"I have some immature ideas. I want to communicate with Secretary Yang." Qiao Ruihua didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction in Yang Weiguo's words. He took advantage of the situation and said: "In my opinion, the reason why Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant has come to this day is due to many reasons. But the most fundamental point is not a human problem. It is a problem that production equipment and technology cannot keep up with the development situation. As long as we can inject blood into the steel plant and invest in updating and improving production equipment and technology, the company will definitely be able to rejuvenate. active."

Yang Weiguo said with a noncommittal smile: "What Mayor Qiao said is not unreasonable. But as far as I know, at the beginning of last year, the city government loaned more than 70 million yuan to the bank for the renovation and support of the steel plant. But as a result, more than 70 million yuan was lost in the sea. Not even a penny was left. But the situation of the steel plant has not improved at all. As a result, banks are now coming to your door every day asking for money. You mentioned the fundamental reason for the steel plant. It’s not a human problem. But in my opinion, it’s a human problem. If we don’t completely change our thinking, no amount of money will be able to fill this bottomless pit.”

"Since we can't do it well, we have to let go and leave it to companies to do it boldly. Breaking the rules is a skill. Being brave in innovation is a state. Guoxing Group has experience, technology, funds, and market. His Entering the country will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes to the Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. I believe that it will also drive a series of upstream and downstream enterprises to rejuvenate together. In this process, even if the interests of a very small number of workers are damaged, I think it is acceptable. There is no price for reform. As long as our government does the corresponding follow-up work, we can limit all disadvantages to the minimum range."

Qiao Ruihua shook his head and said: "Secretary Yang, I think you are a little too superstitious about these foreign-funded enterprises. It is true that these enterprises have their own uniqueness. But the nature of the enterprise determines their profit-seeking behavior. If there is no profit, If we don’t exploit workers’ surplus value, why would they come all the way to Wuxi? Of course, if they come to Wuxi to invest, of course we are in favor of it. But we must turn state-owned assets into private assets. Borrow Stealing state-owned assets in the name of restructuring. Secretary Yang. Some people will scold you."

"As long as it can bring benefits to workers, bring fiscal revenue to the government, and bring development to the local area, what does it matter whether it is state-owned or private. Besides, according to the plan of the High-tech Zone, we also hold 49% The equity of the state-owned assets has not shrunk or depreciated. On the contrary, it will continue to increase in value as the enterprise regains new opportunities. This is the only way to be responsible for the state-owned assets. Instead of watching it become less and less, but nothing. Dare to do it." Yang Weiguo said tit for tat. When he was the deputy mayor in charge of industry and investment promotion in a coastal city, he was famous for vigorously promoting enterprise restructuring. He led the bankruptcy, closure and transformation of state-owned enterprises of all sizes. Baijia. Naturally, they don’t take state-owned enterprises or state-owned enterprises so seriously.

Qiao Ruihua raised his gaze and said earnestly: "Secretary Yang, it is a bit dangerous for you to say this. State-owned assets must occupy a dominant position in the economy. This is the country's major policy. We cannot deal with state-owned enterprises that are temporarily in difficulty. Simply sell it. It can be solved through other ways. Why must we choose to sell it? Let alone the majority of workers. Even I can't accept it in my heart. If the workers make trouble again, the consequences will be It’s unimaginable.”

Yang Weiguo pondered for a moment and said: "Okay. Since Mayor Qiao insists, then come up with a specific plan. We will discuss it at the meeting in a few days."

Qiao Ruihua smiled and said, "Okay. I'll let people prepare. Come up with a plan that is most beneficial to all workers in the steel plant. Try to solve this stubborn problem once and for all. If it succeeds, we can also use this as a model." .Promote it to other enterprises.”

After Qiao Ruihua went out, Yang Weiguo rubbed his temples with a headache. Of course he understood what Qiao Ruihua meant. He took advantage of the momentum of the steel plant workers' petition and demonstration today. He spoke in a high-sounding way and occupied the moral high ground. Yang Weiguo also It was hard to say anything. However, he didn't believe that Qiao Ruihua could really come up with any better plan.

But if he didn't have a 100% certainty, how could Qiao Ruihua be so enthusiastic about it?
