Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 146 Is this a business war?

Xu Zhiquan took a big red apple from the table and handed it to his son with a smile:
"Teacher Xu, please stop keeping us in suspense. Do you have any ideas?"

Xu Chen took the apple with a smile, took a big bite and chewed it, and said:
“For example, Changsheng Chemical is relatively easy for decision makers to give up.

Due to historical reasons, Guangming Machinery Factory is very close to the city center and has a very good location.

I think this is also the reason why we were targeted by two other real estate companies at the same time.

There are two or three large residential communities around the machinery factory, as well as a primary school and a kindergarten.

Not to mention that the machinery factory already has staff dormitories and related facilities.

If at this time, there was news that a chemical plant was going to open nearby, what would the nearby residents think?
In recent years, there has been a lot of news related to the chemical industry.

Chemical plant explosions, emissions that contaminated drinking water, lung disease, etc....

In fact, considering building a chemical plant in the city is irresponsible for the safety of residents..."

After Xu Chen finished his brief talk, he smiled and started eating the apple in big bites.

The three people in the room fell silent.

Xu Zhiquan and Fang Jun had completely understood it, but were still pondering it.

Yang Congxin said:

"Since the city has allowed a chemical plant to participate in the restructuring of the machinery factory, it must have been discussed before, right?"

Xu Zhiquan shook his head:
“That may not be the case. Perhaps allowing them to participate in the communication meeting and come up with a plan is itself a process of argumentation.

The chemical plant still makes money, can generate tax revenue and create jobs for the city, and the city is probably still considering it.”

Yang Congxin:
"But what if the demonstration is finally passed?"

Fang Jun said:

"Teacher Xu Chen means that they won't be allowed to argue."

Yang adjusted his black-framed glasses again: "Huh?"

He thought about it carefully, and finally figured it out. He whispered:

"You mean to leak the news that a chemical plant might be built next to the machinery factory...

Let the people oppose it?"

Xu Chen smiled and said:

“Yes, anyone would be worried if a chemical plant were to open next to their home.

What's more, there have been so many news in the past two years, and something just happened in the nearby Laicheng.

If the people come out to oppose and the media hype it up, Changsheng Chemical may not need to participate in the argumentation process.

Then, of the two companies that are currently being considered, one will be eliminated directly..."

Xu Zhiquan and Fang Jun looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Yang Congxin adjusted his black-framed glasses again and said:

"Is it still possible... to do this..."

It is obvious that Director Yang is a pure "technician" and his ideas are relatively simple and honest.

He has never participated in such business competitions and may only want to impress the leaders with his own proposals...

I never thought that there could be such a private, behind-the-scenes operation to target competitors first.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little "childish" in his heart:

“Is this a business war?”

In fact, in Xu Chen's previous life, this chemical plant did not eventually take over the machinery factory. It seems that after discussion, the city and the review committee finally rejected the acquisition plan of this chemical plant.

Xu Chen's current push for public opposition can help the city save energy on argumentation.

But it's a pity that the mysterious person behind Changsheng Chemical may be disappointed in advance...

……

Xu Chen ate the apple and continued:
"If this is to be done, it must be done quietly and cannot have anything to do with our family.

In fact, it doesn't have to be too complicated. Just find a way to inform the residents nearby about the possible opening of a chemical plant nearby.

The common people will spread the news to ten people, and then to a hundred people, and then they will come out themselves to express their opposition.

This kind of thing that concerns life and even survival, anyone would be angry and oppose it, and even want to cause trouble. "

Xu Zhiquan nodded:
"Don't worry about the chemical plant. I'll find a solution..."

He didn't elaborate, so no one asked any further questions.

Fang Jun looked at Xu Chen: "What about the other two families?"

Xu Chen thought for a moment:
"The other two are real estate developers, right?"

Fang Jun: “Yes.

Fengrong Real Estate is still a focus of attention at present. It has Hong Kong capital background and strong financial strength.

They should be able to come up with a lot of acquisition funds this time. After they acquire the machinery factory, they will definitely develop real estate projects, but the specific methods were not discussed in detail at today's communication meeting.

Xixi Culture and Tourism is engaged in tourism real estate, and so far, the review committee has not paid much attention to it.”

Xu Chen flipped through some documents on the table before speaking again:

"In the plan we prepared, in addition to the old factory renovation plan and future production and operation plan, there is another very important one that needs to be supplemented."

He pondered for a moment and continued:
“The restructuring of the machinery factory still leaves a big problem, which is the placement of existing employees.

The closure of the machinery factory means they will be laid off as well..."

Fang Jun nodded: "That's right, so each company's plan has a special compensation plan for the old employees of the machinery factory.

The acquisition price we gave also includes this part of the cost.”

Xu Chen shook his head again:

"It is not enough to just ask for compensation. In fact, laid-off workers may not want that little compensation, but a decent job..."

Xu Chen remembered very clearly that the machinery factory in his previous life was sold to Fengrong Commercial, and a large number of employees of the machinery factory were laid off.

After all, Fengrong Commercial is engaged in real estate development and cannot absorb so many former employees from the machinery factory.

The laid-off old employees have all received a certain amount of compensation, which should be quite good.

But a few years later, some laid-off workers from the former machinery factory jumped out again.

The biggest reason is that their subsequent work problems were not actually solved.

A group of former "state-owned enterprise" employees found it difficult to find suitable jobs to make a living in Tiancheng after being laid off. They could only do some small business or open small restaurants.

Income and life have become extremely unstable.

And this may also be the breakthrough for Dongchen Shares this time.

Xu Chen continued:

"Both real estate developers, Fengrong and Xixi, were unable to solve the resettlement problem for the former workers of the machinery factory and could only offer some compensation.

The city and the review committee will certainly still take future stability issues into consideration. After all, there are hundreds of laid-off workers and hundreds of families behind them.

We are planning to build an electric car factory, and the reason we want to acquire the machinery factory is because we are attracted by the original assets of the machinery factory.

These assets include the original factory buildings, equipment, production lines, and naturally also this group of skilled former employees of the machinery factory.

It can be said that among the competing companies, only Dongchen Shares and the future Chenfeng Technology can perfectly solve the problem of these laid-off workers. "

Yang adjusted his glasses again, nodded and said:
"Xu...Teacher, you are right!"

He had silently changed the way he addressed Xu Chen to "Teacher Xu".

“In fact, in the past two or three months, the old employees of the machinery factory were very nervous.

Especially a group of relatively young people are all worried about their future after the machinery factory goes bankrupt.

Many of the people in the machinery factory are serious college and junior college students.

I have enough ability and quality, but I was laid off in Tiancheng, and I don’t know what I can do after I leave.”

Xu Zhiquan lit a cigarette, nodded and said:

"Xu Chen's idea and reminder are very crucial!

Employment and layoff issues are related to stability.

It is definitely something the city is paying close attention to, and the review committee cannot avoid it this time.

We can indeed help the city relieve its worries!
In the current plan, this content is indeed not specifically discussed.

The resettlement of the old employees of the machinery factory may be an important advantage for us to take over the machinery factory..."

Xu Chen nodded and continued:
“Of course, there is still some room for maneuver at the execution level.

Before the electric car factory is up and running, Chenxin Seedlings can also serve as a transition.

Anyway, the nursery company is very short of workers right now.

If you are willing to take compensation, just take the money and leave.

Those who are willing to stay can first work in the nursery company. The barriers to entry there are not too high, so it won't be a problem to ask my third uncle to train them.

Of course, if the electric car manufacturers are doing well in all aspects, they can also make the transition directly.”

Yang sat up straighter, looking obviously excited:

“It is true that most of the workers in the machinery factories can directly transition to the electric vehicle factories.

A few days ago, I went to visit Jiangsu Province with Mr. Xu. I visited the production line of the electric car factory...

The old employees on the production line of the machinery factory will be uniformly trained for a period of time, and there will be no problem in grafting over! "

Fang Jun thought for a moment and said:

“In terms of re-employment of old employees, those two real estate companies really can’t compare with us.

Ultimately, they acquire land, build houses, sell houses or rent houses.

It certainly can’t solve the employment problem of the old workers in the machinery factory…

Yang Congxin showed excitement:
“That chemical plant could have provided employment for a number of people, but we secretly killed it beforehand!

After Mr. Xu’s analysis, we were the least favored and had the lowest probability of being selected…

How come it seems to be the most suitable one now? "

Xu Zhiquan laughed:

“Our advantages go beyond this.

If the electric car factory is successfully established, it will not only solve the layoff problem of old employees of the current machinery factory, but also create many future jobs for the city.

These are also things that the city and leaders attach great importance to!
And these are not problems that the two real estate companies can solve.

To put it bluntly, those who engage in real estate are emptying the wallets of ordinary people and leaving after making a quick buck.

Only those who run businesses in a down-to-earth manner like us can create jobs and lasting profits for Tiancheng!"

After the three of them discussed for a while, the atmosphere in the meeting room became relaxed.

This was in stark contrast to the depressed and gloomy mood when Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen just came in.
