Chapter 1298
Yang Xun had already eaten before coming, but facing the warm invitation of the Song family, he didn't refuse and stayed to eat and drink with them.
Yang Xun, this kid, was clever by nature. Having been running around outside for half a year, he spoke even more pleasantly. He flattered the Song parents so much that they were very happy, saying things like Brother Xiao Hui is a university student, Sister He Xiaoping is also a university student and will be back soon, the Song family has talent, and the children of He Xiaoping and Xiao Hui will definitely not be bad in the future, and so on.
He also talked about some things he saw and heard in the Northeast, talking about the local customs, the impact of reform and opening up on that side, and so on, talking eloquently and with a bit of humor.
In general, he barely had one ten-thousandth of the skill of Wang Mouren...
However, he still couldn't hide his thoughts; his purpose was written all over his face, and even Song Yunhui could see it.
After dinner, the three of them smoked and ate watermelon in the yard.
Song Yunhui asked: "Yang Xun, do you have something on your mind?"
Yang Xun felt awkward; he didn't expect Song Yunhui to see it, so it went without saying for Wang Yan.
So he clapped his hands: "Brother Xiao Hui is really smart. It's like this: I heard that the situation in Jinzhou is quite good, and I want to go to Jinzhou to open a stall to sell some goods."
"Sell what?" Song Yunhui asked.
Yang Xun turned his head to look at Wang Yan: "Brother-in-law..."
Before he could continue, Wang Yan waved his hand to interrupt him: "There are many things sold in Jin Ling, and they are all very popular; we don't lack sales channels. The current production capacity is already fully utilized, and orders are flying in like snowflakes; we don't worry about sales at all.
Are you thinking of selling Jin Ling's clothes and daily necessities?"
"Yes, Brother-in-law, you see it very accurately." There was hope in Yang Xun's eyes.
"Impossible." Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Our clothes, daily necessities, and all the needs related to the people's livelihood—food, clothing, housing, and transportation—must be placed on the best shelves. If it weren't for the fact that it hasn't been fully opened up yet, the Jin Ling Group would have sent people to various places to open specialty stores themselves.
Why? Because Jin Ling is building a brand, and from the very beginning, we must establish the style of the Jin Ling brand. If the goods are wholesaled to you for retail, that would be a devastating blow to our Jin Ling brand.
At present, our clothes, shoes, hats, and daily necessities are the most expensive. Is it because these things are really worth that much money? Foreign things are also expensive; is it because they are worth that much? No. It all stems from blind obedience, thinking that we are backward and foreign things are good. Thinking that other factories are backward and Jin Ling's things are good.
If our goods appear on unknown stalls, it would completely waste the four years of effort of the people of Jin Ling, and we would never be able to establish the Jin Ling brand again, and we would never be able to sell them at a higher price than others.
Do you know what the consequences are? It's a large-scale reduction in the welfare of the people of Jin Ling. People all want to be better and definitely don't want to be worse. When that time comes, the spirit of Jin Ling will also dissipate, and the great situation will be overturned overnight."
"Uh..." Yang Xun didn't know what to say.
Wang Yan could see that Yang Xun didn't have such a high understanding, and he was a bit disapproving. Even Song Yunhui next to him was the same; he also frowned, thinking about Wang Yan's words, trying to figure out the relationship.
The words were easy to understand, but it was just that both of them thought that a massive Jin Ling wouldn't be so affected by these things. After all, there were other industries that were also very profitable. It was a question of severity.
But in fact, Wang Yan wasn't lying to them. After all, clothes, daily necessities, and the like were in the most direct contact with the masses, affecting the national recognition of the brand. Once the brand's added value is built and the assembly line is opened, it's all money.
And these food, clothing, housing, and transportation support most of the factory workers in the county. If the added value is gone and the earnings are less, something big will really happen.
But Wang Yan didn't say anything more; he was in a good mood to explain it at all...
"Brother-in-law, I don't understand. Since the conditions in our county are so good, why not let those who come to do business open shops?" Yang Xun was very puzzled.
"This is the result of the county's discussion. On one hand, the policy hasn't been finalized, and on the other hand, it's the distribution problem in our county. You open a shop and make money; should you be given welfare? How much? If you lose money, how is it calculated? Another point is the management problem. Where do your goods come from? Is the quality good? Is the hygiene standard? Is it safe and harmless to the human body? How to supervise if you are greedy for money and use inferior goods?
Now everything is operated by the factory, managed uniformly, and various materials are purchased uniformly, directly supervised and reviewed at the source, maximizing the protection of the life and property safety of our Jin Ling people. Coupled with our factory's supervision, inspection, and reporting system, fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the masses, it is enough to guarantee the safety of service, hygiene, taste, accounts, and other aspects.
You want to make money and want to use the convenience to make money from the factory,
I heard that the country is going to abolish the people's communes, but our Jin Ling, even if we have established the Jin Ling Group Company and implemented a modern company management system, is essentially still the big pot of rice.
At most, we have introduced more pay for more work and less pay for less work. In our Jin Ling, this is correct, and our people are living very well. Even people with intellectual disabilities playing with dogs at the entrance of the village can eat their fill and eat meat."
Wang Yan held up two fingers with a cigarette, "So you want to get rich, I didn't stop you, and I also provided you with some convenience. But you can't set your sights on Jin Ling, trying to incite me to do this kind of big thing. Yang Xun, you're not tall enough, and your head isn't that hard. Just this once, no next time."
"Brother-in-law, I'm not..."
"No need to say so much, and don't panic. I didn't say I was going to deal with you. You, your thoughts are still shallow, and you're young, so it's understandable. Just pay attention in the future."
Wang Yan said, "I think besides wanting to sell Jin Ling's goods, you also want to affiliate in Jin Ling, right? This matter is simple. Tomorrow you go to the factory office; there are standard contracts there, in triplicate. You keep one, the factory keeps one, and the county keeps one. Just sign it directly."
"So simple?" Yang Xun couldn't believe it, "There's a standard contract?"
"In the past two years, the policy has become more and more relaxed, and you're not the only one with thoughts. But you are indeed the first in the factory to do business yourself. However, in the last half year, no less than a hundred people have left to do business. Some went to the Northeast like you, some went to Beijing, some went to Shanghai, and some went to Guangdong Province.
There are always those who do well and want to expand further, so there is a need for affiliation. Jin Ling will treat everyone in Jin Ling well, and we hope they can make a name for themselves outside. So we provided the greatest convenience; affiliation is a small matter. It's all handled by our county coming forward to connect and get them out. There are also those who lack money for expansion, and the factory also provided some funds."
"Everyone has it?" Yang Xun's eyes widened.
"It should be that the actual execution in each place is different." Song Yunhui said, "Just like Jin Ling, two years ago, a street was specifically designated for individual households to set up stalls, and now a market is specifically built. If it were put in other places, these people would at least have their things confiscated, be locked up for ten days or half a month, and have to pay a fine."
"That's how it is."
Wang Yan nodded with a smile and then said, "Yang Xun, our county is the vanguard of reform and an advanced model enterprise in the country. Whether it's me, or the leaders of the factory and the county, we are constantly learning. Many things are difficult to handle in other places, but they are all easy to solve in the county. At the same time, we will also conduct targeted research after receiving feedback from those who have left.
In the final analysis, we always want the people who go out from Jin Ling to have strong thoughts, rich spirits, and wealth, hoping that they can all live a good life outside."
Behind the simple words, major decisions of the Jin Ling Group were hidden. But unfortunately, neither Song Yunhui nor Yang Xun understood.
Wang Yan didn't lie to them; this was a major event that the factory had specifically held meetings to study, and it was also a major event that would determine the future.
Just last month, after finishing the work of the new batch of university students joining the job and all tasks were successfully carried out, a high-level Jin Ling meeting was specifically held around the fact that more and more people were going out to do business and more and more troubles were coming back.
Now in Jin Ling, the factory is the county, and the county is the factory. County affairs are factory affairs, and factory affairs are also county affairs. So the so-called high-level Jin Ling meeting is for the main leaders of the factory and the county who have the final say to hold a small meeting of less than twenty people to work together.
The opportunity for the meeting was because someone was selling goods outside and was caught. They couldn't scrape together the money to pay the fine, and the family members were blocking Wang Yan and wanting to kowtow.
In addition, there were also those who were cheated when going out to do business, had no money, couldn't go home, and directly found the local Public Security Bureau to connect with Jin Ling. Thus, one after another, it became a severe problem.
It's not that leaving Jin Ling means leaving the collective. As long as the household registration is in Jin Ling, they are a part of the collective. Then finding the collective when there is a problem is useful, and the collective must manage it; it won't work if it doesn't.
So rules need to be set and decisions need to be made.
After three days of discussion, the meeting finally decided to establish a new department under the factory office of the Jin Ling Group, named the Jin Ling People's Development Office, aiming to provide convenience and solve troubles for the Jin Ling people who leave Jin Ling to do business.
At the meeting, Wang Yan once again put forward various problems that Jin Ling would face in its future development, and then introduced the shareholding system and the foreign "investment" method.
That is, the Jin Ling People's Development Office will conduct full investigation and evaluation of the entrepreneurial projects of Jin Ling people who are starting businesses outside. Those with prospects can invest a certain amount of money and occupy a certain share. For those without prospects, research the risks fully and provide a certain amount of personal credit loan support.
And the funds for investment and credit are the staff welfare, medical, and pension funds retained by the factory. This money has long existed. When we first started making money, this money was already reserved. The factory couldn't take all the money out for construction, so this money belonged to the factory's capital.
Just like the national team will take social security funds out for investment, Jin Ling is also doing this operation to realize the appreciation of money and ensure profitability.
Most people held an opposing attitude because they didn't understand and were afraid of losing money. This money was too much, and the stakes were too high; no one dared to move it easily.
But Wang Yan dared; he had this authority, and Jin Ling was now his one-man show.
However, he didn't really make it a one-man show, but allocated five million in funds to temporarily pilot the operation.
Regarding this, other leaders had no opinion. Once upon a time, let alone the textile factory, even the life of the county would be taken by these five million. But for today's Jin Ling, five million is just sprinkling water; it's all small money.
The annual output value has already turned to hundreds of millions; this is the confidence of the people of Jin Ling.
In this era, the total annual output value of the whole country is only over two hundred billion US dollars. Jin Ling has achieved one-thousandth of the national total output value in four years, and foreign exchange earnings have already exceeded fifty million US dollars.
Now Jin Ling's foreign trade business is no longer as simple as before, relying only on selling clothes and a small number of water-jet looms. Now, besides clothes, there are more textile machinery, agricultural machinery, alloy materials, sanitary napkins, gauze, masks, and other special operation textiles, all of which have harvests. It is expected that this year's foreign trade income will be even higher.
In fact, Jin Ling now no longer relies on the platform of the Canton Fair, but directly connects with foreign customers. However, the Canton Fair is still attended every year; we always have to expand more customers and make more money.
Combining the above, the current Jin Ling Group is four words: rich and powerful.
Thus, the Jin Ling People's Development Office was listed. At the same time, in order to facilitate business handling, a report was also submitted, copied to the provincial and municipal levels, and sent directly to Beijing, requesting the establishment of the Jin Ling People's Bank.
The current capital turnover is all in the credit cooperatives in the county. Jin Ling wants to abolish the credit cooperatives, establish a bank, and take in savings business. In this way, the Jin Ling Group can leverage again in the future, directly using the people's money to develop. Of course, this is also just normal bank operation. It is the Jin Ling Group borrowing money from the bank to develop Jin Ling, then paying the bank interest, and then paying interest to the Jin Ling people who save, which is normal capital circulation.
After this set of operations, by the era of big capital competition after the new millennium, the Jin Ling People's Development Office will have another name: Jin Ling Capital!
Yang Xun was directly told a few words by Wang Yan, and the whole person became honest, and his rolling eyes became peaceful. The next day, he ran to the factory office building and found the factory office to handle the affiliation, received his own contract, and inquired in detail about loans and investment matters, and he had a plan in his heart.
Song Yunhui also went to Yang Xun's home to visit Yang's mother and found that Yang's mother's mental state was indeed much better, her complexion was ruddy, her speech was powerful, and her walking was also vigorous.
Yang's mother never left the textile factory in her words, thanking Factory Director Wang in one sentence, thanking the factory in another, and then thanking the Party and the country in another. Her thoughts were absolutely firm.
Song Yunhui knew that Yang's mother used to be the women's director in the village and was also active in ideological study, but he really didn't expect that Yang's mother had reached this point now.
Listening to Yang's mother talking endlessly about the affairs in the clothing factory, talking about the sisters who worked together, talking about the future of Jin Ling, and looking at the brilliance in Yang's mother's eyes, he only felt that his good brother-in-law was truly amazing.
He also truly felt the role and importance of ideological education. He believed that as long as Yang's mother was there, then as long as everyone on the business line that Yang's mother could reach would definitely be supervised by her. And there were so many such people in the Jin Ling Group with over a hundred thousand staff...
No matter what, the Yang Xun family had truly changed their fate and lived a good life. Song Yunhui was sincerely happy; he knew the difficulty of Yang's mother...
After staying at home for half a month, Song Yunhui was leaving.
Wang Yan drove him to the station and took two boxes out of the car: "Work hard, hurry up and find a partner. The old couple doesn't say anything, but they are all thinking about it. You should pay more attention yourself."
"Brother-in-law, why are you also being so nagging."
"You think I'm willing to manage you? Isn't it that I can't disobey my wife's orders? There are four people in your family, and three of them have their hearts on you. I'm a son-in-law living in the wife's house, so shouldn't I also put in some effort?"
Song Yunhui was amused by the son-in-law living in the wife's house: "Okay, I will definitely work harder and strive to bring someone back next year for you to see."
"Go, pay attention to safety on the road. If there are robbers, give them money. As long as the green hills remain, don't worry about firewood."
"Wish me well, I'm leaving, you hurry up and get busy."
Song Yunhui waved his hand, turned around, and dragged the box into the station...
In order to facilitate management, the current Jin Ling Station no longer allows people to go to the platform to see people off, and the waiting hall also strictly checks tickets. This is to protect the people's property to the greatest extent and put an end to pickpockets.
It has an effect, but it's not that thorough. Jin Ling is simply too rich, and all kinds of monsters and ghosts have come to join in the fun, and people's greed is endless, so it's hard to control.
When he, Wang Mouren, was a railway police officer, he had caught them to such an extent, but the thieves on that train still couldn't be caught completely...
Jin Ling continues to develop, and the county town in front of us has already expanded a large area, but it doesn't look very good.
It is mainly because the construction of staff housing is too slow. Even if it has reached the point where hundreds of buildings are under construction at the same time, it is still too slow to supply a population of more than two hundred thousand.
At present, only a small half of the people have been solved, and more than half still need to be solved. But the plan for the rural population to move into the city has still not stopped. The people who move into the city live in board houses, but board houses cannot accommodate as many people as buildings; they are not expanded vertically, but horizontally.
If you stand high, the current Jin Ling is a small half of the place with low buildings arranged in an orderly manner, and most of the area is board houses piled together densely as far as the eye can see.
Of course, although they are called board houses, the actual situation is still relatively good. Thanks to the southern region where it is located, although it is a bit cold in winter, people won't freeze to death. The factory's supply of quilts is very sufficient, and then some coal is issued for heating. Even if the board houses are leaking wind everywhere, there won't be poisoning. After surviving the coldest two months, everything will be fine.
There is liquefied gas for cooking, large public toilets in the surrounding area for going to the toilet, and many bathhouses for bathing. It's just that the space is a bit small, but the earnings are high, the food is good, the work is easier, and there are more entertainment activities, which makes up for these small flaws.
More and more houses are being built, and they are being built faster and faster. Everyone has high hopes and can persevere.
Urban planning and management is a discipline, and in this regard, Jin Ling's leading cadres all lack relevant experience.
Experts were invited to plan before, but in terms of management, there are still many shortcomings. Especially since the urban population has exceeded one hundred thousand, some small problems have become concentrated big problems, which have become prominent...
