Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong walked out of Hongqiao Airport and got into a taxi.

"Sir, where are you going?" the driver asked in a non-standard Mandarin.

"Go to Dafu Rubber Factory." Li Weidong glanced at the driver and said to his heart that the taxi masters in this big city are really different, and other places still call "comrade", but here they are called "sir".

After all, this is still 1992. Words such as "Mr." and "Ms." are still relatively trendy, and probably only people in the Pearl River Delta region can adapt to such titles.

"Sir is an overseas Chinese, right?" The driver's master was a little chatty.

"How did you see it?" Li Weidong asked with a smile, and he was not in a hurry to deny it.

"You are so young, and you are alone, so you must be an overseas Chinese! All our leaders who can go abroad are leaders, and the youngest are in their 40s. It is impossible to be as young as you."

Li Weidong couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Master is really knowledgeable!"

Li Weidong satisfied the raging reasoning heart of the driver, while the taxi driver went all the way and sent Li Weidong to the Dafu Rubber Factory.

After getting out of the car, Li Weidong looked around and couldn't help sighing: "City center, this place doesn't engage in business, but it has opened a rubber factory. This is a good place for nothing."

As an old-fashioned national enterprise that existed in the 1930s, the site of Dafu Rubber Factory is naturally located in the core prime location of the city.

It’s just that the core areas of the city in that era were not lacking in all kinds of old, broken and small ones. The same is true of Dafu Rubber Factory. The old factory buildings are full of the vicissitudes of the times. The vibe of the decade.

Li Weidong walked around the door of the transfer room, handed a cigarette to the uncle as usual, and then said, "Master, my name is Li Weidong, from Qinghe, I'm looking for you, Director Wang."

The uncle Ai answered and glared at Li Weidong, then, looking at the face of the cigarette, he picked up the internal phone on the table and called the office.

Seeing the mannerism of the janitor, Li Weidong asked casually, "Master, isn't the efficiency of your factory not bad?"

"That's for sure!" The janitor nodded: "We make tires for cars, do you know Santana? That tires are made by us!"

Li Weidong nodded secretly. In the early 1990s, more than one-third of state-owned enterprises in China lost money, one-third of state-owned enterprises broke even, and less than one-third of state-owned enterprises were able to exert force. Whether the doorman or the staff, they are all arrogant.

Li Weidong waited for a while, and then Director Wang walked out with several people in a hurry.

"Director Li,

It's really you! "Director Wang greeted me with a smile, and then said jokingly; "Director Li, are you here to ask me for rubber shoes?" "

"Not only to ask you for rubber shoes, but also to send you rubber raw materials!" Li Weidong replied.

"Let's talk inside!" Director Wang invited Li Weidong in.

This Dafu Rubber General Factory looks bad from the outside, all of which are old factories, but when you walk in, the environment is still very good. It's all something unique to the old factory.

The newly built factory area will use all the space as much as possible, and often there will not be so much greenery, and there will be no big trees that are decades old.

Walking into the office area, it gives people a new look. Although it is also an old building, the rooms inside are very spacious. There can be more than a dozen desks in one room, which is in line with the buildings from decades ago. style.

After the guests and the host were seated, the two chatted a few times, and then began to talk about serious business. Li Weidong took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Director Wang.

"This is a note approved by Director Song of Huanghai Petrochemical. With this note, you can go to Huanghai Petrochemical to buy 700 tons of butadiene and 300 tons of styrene." Li Weidong said.

Previously, Li Weidong had already obtained 70 tons of butadiene and 30 tons of styrene for Dafu Rubber, which was regarded as a gift for Director Wang. Now Li Weidong has brought 700 tons of butadiene and 300 tons of styrene slivers. fulfilled its promise.

Li Weidong helped Huanghai Petrochemical to buy equipment, and asked Song Jinlong to open a note of several hundred tons of rubber raw materials, which is a matter of one sentence.

However, for Dafu Rubber Factory, these raw materials are enough for them to produce 400,000 tires. If it is not used normally, Dafu Rubber Factory will not have to worry about the supply of raw materials in the next year or two.

Director Wang took the note like a treasure, checked it carefully, and carefully put it away.

"Director Li, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, our factory would have stopped production." Director Wang said.

"Isn't that true? I heard that the country has increased the original import of petrochemicals to supplement domestic demand." Li Weidong said.

"Imported raw materials, after all, are expensive. It will also increase our production costs and reduce profit margins. We will not import the original unless it is a last resort." Director Wang replied.

Li Weidong said: "Director Wang, we had an agreement before, I will help you get the raw materials, you Dafu factory can sell the brand Feiyue to me. Now I have brought you the raw materials, so Feiyue this brand?"

Director Wang immediately said: "Director Li, don't worry, I, Lao Wang, are not the kind of person who doesn't believe what he says. I also said about the Feiyue brand at the meeting of the factory team, and everyone has no objection. Now that you have brought us the raw materials, the Feiyue brand is yours! When you have time, let's go through the handover procedures."

"Let's not rush the handover procedure, let's talk about the price first! How much is your Dafu factory going to sell for Feiyue's brand?" Li Weidong asked.

"Money?" Director Wang was stunned for a moment and said, "You have brought so many raw materials to our factory, but you have helped us a lot, how can we ask you for money again!"

Director Wang thought that Li Weidong's request for Feiyue's brand was itself an exchange of personal connections. Li Weidong made connections and helped Dafu Factory get raw materials, and Dafu Factory gave Feiyue Brand with both hands, which is equivalent to a kind of transaction.

In the process of this transaction, the personal connections Li Weidong paid are valuable in themselves and can be regarded as the cost of purchasing Feiyue brand, so Director Wang did not consider the price of Feiyue brand at all.

Director Wang's idea is not wrong. Looking for someone to entrust a relationship or to go through the back door should benefit others. Otherwise, who is willing to help you?

Li Weidong also understood what Director Wang meant, but he did not accept Director Wang's kindness. Li Weidong shook his head and said: "Director Wang, one yard is one yard, I said at the beginning, I want to buy your Feiyue card, since it is to buy, you must pay for it, this is the rule of doing business. !"

"That's fine, Director Li, if you have to give money, then give it a little symbolically, it doesn't matter how much." Director Wang said.

"It seems that Director Wang wants me to make an offer!" Li Weidong thought about it for a few seconds, and then said, "I am willing to pay 500,000 to buy the Feiyue brand from your factory!"

"What? Five hundred thousand!" Director Wang was immediately stunned.

"What's the situation? Give it to him for nothing, he doesn't want it, he has to spend money to buy it! You can spend it as much as you want, it's enough to pay a token 1,800 yuan, and it's 500,000 yuan all at once! This is not Why don't you send money! This Li Weidong looks quite normal, and he has the ability to get rubber raw materials, how can he be a stupid son of a landlord's family!" Director Wang secretly thought.

Li Weidong went on to say: "Director Wang, 500,000 is a lot. Although your Feiyue brand used to be very brilliant, they have now been discontinued. If you change it to someone else, you can't give you this price."

"Not much, not much at all! I think it's too much!"

Director Wang was just about to say, you can just give a few thousand dollars, 500,000 is really unnecessary, but he swallowed it when he said it.

The stupid son of the landlord's family took the initiative to send money, wouldn't he be more stupid than the stupid son!

Li Weidong continued: "Director Wang, the 500,000 yuan is the cost of buying out the entire Feiyue brand. After we sign the contract, I will pay the fee, and the Feiyue brand will no longer have anything to do with your Dafu factory. You In the future, Feiyue shoes can no longer be produced, and Feiyue shoes can no longer be authorized to others. We have to clarify these first, and also write them in the contract.

Li Weidong first took a precautionary shot in advance, lest there will be a bunch of Leaping shoes in the future.

"I understand everything you said!" Director Wang nodded.

"Well, since Director Wang has no opinion, the price of 500,000 yuan is set like this. I will find someone to sign the contract in two days!" Li Weidong said.

"No problem, I welcome Director Li anytime!" Director Wang said, there was still a trace of regret in his eyes.

I can't bear to deceive the stupid son of a landlord's family!

...

A few days later, Li Weidong came to Dafu Rubber Factory to sign a transaction contract for the purchase of the Feiyue brand.

To the surprise of Director Wang, in addition to the contract, Li Weidong also brought two lawyers and two notary office staff.

"Sign a contract, why do you need to be so excited!" Director Wang secretly thought.

The lawyer was still very formal. He took out a small tape recorder, picked up the contract, and explained it to Director Wang one by one. He didn't finish explaining one, and asked Director Wang if he understood.

After confirming that Director Wang understood the contents of the contract, both parties sealed and signed it.

Immediately afterwards, notaries appeared and began to notarize the contract for the transfer of the Feiyue brand.

As early as 1980, the Ministry of Justice issued the "Notification on the Gradual Restoration of Domestic Notary Business", and since then various places have resumed notary business one after another.

At that time, the notary office was not independent, but was co-located with the court. At that time, the notary office mainly handled foreign-related marriage, adoption notarization, foreign-related death notarization and so on.

In the 1990s, China ushered in a wave of studying abroad, and the main business of the notary office was to serve people studying abroad. There were almost no notarizations for contracts like Li Weidong.

Looking at the staff of the notary office filling out the forms for notarization business, Director Wang couldn't help sighing.

"Isn't it just signing a contract, this stupid son of the landlord's family has a sense of ceremony!"
