Chapter 131

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu arranged for the workers' families, returned to the factory, and came to Gu Bing's office. They didn't expect Qian Zhen and Yan Guohai to be there too.

"Waiting here?" Zhou Andong sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

Yan Guohai smiled and said, "I didn't sleep well last night. It's like when getting married and entering the bridal chamber; a bit nervous and very expectant."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed out loud. Qian Zhen asked, "How much money have you prepared?"

"Seventy thousand!" Immediately after, Yan Guohai hurriedly explained, "I borrowed from all my relatives and friends to scrape together this much."

Zhou Andong smiled slightly. There might be borrowed money, but Yan Guohai had been the head of the supply and marketing section for so many years; if he didn't have forty or fifty thousand in his hands, he would have been a section head for nothing.

It's just that these were all things of the past, and he wouldn't go looking for trouble to investigate this. In the future, with shares in hand, the year-end dividends would be more and more. He believed Yan Guohai was not stupid and would know how to choose between the future and money.

Zhou Andong asked Qian Zhen, "Uncle Qian, what about you? How many shares are you prepared to buy?"

Qian Zhen said, "Twenty-eight thousand!"

Zhou Andong sighed inwardly. Qian Zhen had worked in the winery for almost a lifetime, and he only had twenty-eight thousand in his hands; it was estimated that there must be borrowed money in this.

"Ding-a-ling..."

The bell for getting off work rang. Several people didn't move. After waiting for ten minutes, Zhou Andong stood up and said, "Let's go, don't let the workers wait too long."

Several people left the factory and saw Zuo Peiming's car driving over. Zhou Andong and the others greeted them. They didn't expect Cheng Zhanjun to also get off the car. However, except for the driver, there were only the two of them; they didn't even bring a secretary.

"Leaders, why are you here?" Zhou Andong shook hands with the two.

Cheng Zhanjun smiled and said, "Winery reform, today is the main event; I must come and see. But we will just sit below and watch; we won't disturb your work."

Zhou Andong smiled. "Let's go, I hope there will be a seat for you below."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Zhanjun was somewhat confused.

Zhou Andong said, "You'll know when you get there."

Cheng Zhanjun was very curious in his heart, but he didn't ask, instead sighing and saying, "Looking back at these ten-plus years of state-owned enterprise reform, I found that walking step by step, it has always been moving forward along a main line, which is to constantly adjust the interest relationship between the government and enterprises, with the goal of mobilizing the enthusiasm of enterprises.

But, after doing it for more than ten years and making quite a few explorations, although certain results have been achieved, there is one problem that cannot be denied, which is that no article has been made on the property rights relationship of enterprises."

Cheng Zhanjun glanced at Zhou Andong beside him. "The first time I met you, we talked a lot. You gave me great inspiration and also made me determined that I must carry out deep reform of state-owned enterprises.

It cannot be that after changing back and forth, the enterprise is still state-owned. So many enterprises, so many big and small things, the government has to manage them all; the heart is willing but the strength is insufficient. Workers are nominally the masters of the enterprise, but in reality, they have no connection in terms of property rights, and they cannot mobilize the enthusiasm of workers.

Also, just like you said, there is a lack of real entrepreneurs. Some factory directors ruin a factory and then transfer to another enterprise to continue being a factory director. After ruining a few factories, they go to be a bureau chief or even a county magistrate. They are called 'ever-defeated generals' by the common people. This is absolutely not allowed."

Zhou Andong suddenly asked, "Zhang Deyou resigned; where is he prepared to be transferred to?"

Cheng Zhanjun snorted coldly. "He resigned, so he resigned; there is no place to arrange for him."

Zuo Peiming said, "The Huwang Town Winery was acquired; the contract was signed yesterday. You want to merge the county and town wineries below, so you have to hurry up. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the rise of private economy, such acquisitions will definitely not be few in the future."

Zhou Andong's heart stirred. "What is the name of the person who acquired the Huwang Town Winery?"

Zuo Peiming thought for a while. "Seems to be called Zheng Qianhua; I just glanced at the document, it should be this name."

Zhou Andong blinked. In his previous life, Gao Qingkui and Zhang Deyou acquired the Jiangzhou Winery through this woman named Zheng Qianhua.

He didn't expect that in this life, because of himself, those two old guys failed to seek the Jiangzhou Winery and acquired the Huwang Town Winery through this woman again.

Hearing the name Zheng Qianhua, Yan Guohai's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Zhou Andong, wanting to say something, but with Zuo Peiming and Cheng Zhanjun present, he held it back.

When they walked into the Cultural Palace, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and then applause sounded like a tidal wave. Especially seeing Cheng Zhanjun and Zuo Peiming also coming, they felt more confident in their hearts, their faces flushed with excitement, and they clapped even more vigorously.

And Cheng Zhanjun finally understood why Zhou Andong said there was no seat for him. The families had all come, old and young, dark and dense. Of the four aisles, three were full of people; the aisle they were walking in was estimated to have been left specifically. There was also the open space more than ten meters wide in front of the stage, which was also full of people.

Zhou Andong smiled and said, "Secretary, now you know why I said there was no place for you to sit below."

Seeing such a scene, Cheng Zhanjun was also very excited, and so was Zuo Peiming. This proved that the reform was still very popular with the workers.

Several people went on stage. This time the table was placed in the center of the stage, and several large stacks of printed contracts were placed on the table.

Zhang Zhanhai and Yao Jun led more than twenty people from the security section to stand by, and there were also several female comrades from the labor union responsible for guiding the workers to sign contracts.

The finance section had also made preparations, and the two money-counting machines borrowed from the bank were placed on the side.

Many people might not know that the money-counting machine was actually invented by our country. At this time, the mechanical function was greater than the electronic function, and it could count electronically, but the anti-counterfeiting function was still in the primary stage.

It would take three or four years, that is, about six years, for a large number of large enterprises specializing in the production of money-counting machines to appear, and institutions and departments specializing in the research of money-counting machines also appeared.

Cheng Zhanjun and Zuo Peiming automatically sat on the very edge. Zhou Andong didn't stand on ceremony either, sitting in the middle position, looking at the expectant eyes below, suddenly smiled, picked up the microphone, and said.

"Is everyone's money ready?"

"Ready!" The shouting was deafening, almost lifting the roof.

"That's good!" Zhou Andong said. "However, before signing the contract, first announce the adjustment and appointment of the factory leadership team." After finishing, Zhou Andong handed the microphone to Gu Bing.

Gu Bing took the microphone and took out a list. "Former Deputy Factory Director Qian Zhen, transferred to Jinli County Branch Factory to serve as Factory Director. Former Supply and Marketing Chang Kezhang Yan Dahai, transferred to Jinli County Branch Factory to serve as Deputy Factory Director. Former Labor Union Director Jian Qiu, serves as Deputy Factory Director of the General Factory, in charge of logistics work. Former Jinli County Branch Factory Director Du Chunlai, transferred to the General Factory to serve as Deputy Factory Director, in charge of production and sales work..."
