Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

The front page headline of a local newspaper in Qinghe was the news of the start of the Tuanjie Road Bridge repair project.

Looking at this report, Ding Youliang didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

Ding Youliang knew very well that this report was almost a death sentence for the heavy machinery factory. As the former director of the heavy machinery factory, Ding Youliang once led the heavy machinery factory to glory.

Now seeing that the heavy machinery factory is no longer able to survive, Ding Youliang naturally has mixed feelings in his heart.

Recalling that back then, when I was still a young boy, I was assigned to a heavy machinery factory. Then I started as an ordinary technician and rose to the position of top factory director. I also obtained a scientific and technological research plan from the country and created the heavy machinery factory. The most powerful era.

Thinking of this, Ding Youliang's eyes couldn't help but become moist. . For him, the heavy machinery factory is not only a company where he once worked, but also his youth and a place where he once fought passionately!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Ding Youliang shouted to come in, and Li Weidong walked in.

"Old Ding, what are you looking at? Why are the circles under your eyes red!" Li Weidong noticed something strange about Ding Youliang.

"It's nothing, I just think of the past and my heart is filled with emotion!" Ding Youliang said.

Li Weidong glanced at the newspaper on Ding Youliang's desk, saw the front page headline, and guessed that Ding Youliang was probably thinking of the heavy machinery factory, and he could not help but feel some affection for his children.

"Is it because of the suspension of production at the heavy machinery factory?" Li Weidong asked.

Ding Youliang did not deny it, he said; "After all, I have been in the heavy machinery factory for so many years, and I still have some feelings for it."

"I understand how you feel. I also grew up in the compound of a transportation company. I took over my father's class as soon as I graduated from junior high school. When the transportation company was in decline two years ago, my mood was similar to yours now." Li Weidong He spoke comfortingly.

Ding Youliang said: "After all, there are thousands of employees in the heavy machinery factory. If the heavy machinery factory closes down, I am afraid that their jobs will be lost. There are still very outstanding technical workers among them. Can we accept them by then? Part of it can be considered as giving them a bite to eat.”

Li Weidong knew that Ding Youliang was interceding for those employees! He smiled slightly and said, "As long as you can work, we welcome everyone. But you are in a hurry to make a conclusion on this matter. Isn't the heavy machinery factory closed down yet?"

"Even if it hasn't gone bankrupt yet, it's imminent. The Tuanjie Road Bridge can't be moved, and their products can't be shipped out at all, so they can only wait to die." Ding Youliang said.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Li Weidong sighed lightly and then said, "The heavy machinery factory can still relocate the entire factory!"

"This is possible, but it is very difficult and requires astronomical amounts of financial support."

Ding Youliang paused and then explained: "When I was the director of the heavy machinery factory, I had the idea of ​​relocation more than once, and I also conducted special discussions and research, but in the end it was nothing.

With the scale of a heavy machinery factory, the relocation cost would be too high if the entire plant were to be relocated. First of all, the land requires at least 150 acres, which always costs a lot of money.

In fact, this 150 acres of land is not too much. The key is to find a suitable place. As you know, the site occupied by the current heavy machinery factory has always been a geomantic treasure of our Qinghe City.

Let us give up this Feng Shui treasure land and move to another place. If the location is not very good, won't we suffer a loss? Everyone in the factory is definitely not willing to do it. Therefore, even if you want to relocate, you have to choose a good place before everyone is willing to do so.

The second is the issue of employees’ commuting to and from work. The heavy machinery factory was established relatively early and has a relatively large number of employees, so the scale of the family home in the factory is also relatively large. If the factory is moved, commuting for thousands of employees will become a problem.

Large factories will definitely move to the suburbs, and then employees will have longer commutes to work, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to their lives. For example, for some dual-career couples, both husband and wife work in the factory, so they definitely don’t have time to take care of their children at noon.

Therefore, employees are relatively resistant to the relocation. Every time we hold a meeting to discuss the relocation, the employee representatives will definitely express their opposition, and in the end we can only shelve it. "

"There is still no urgency to move!" Li Weidong smiled, and then said: "When you were the director of the factory, the company's profits were good, and everyone was enjoying the hot food, so naturally they were unwilling to move.

It’s different now. Heavy vehicles cannot be used on the Tuanjie Road Bridge. If the heavy machinery factory is not relocated, it will have no choice but to die, and the workers will lose their jobs by then. Between going farther to work and losing their jobs, I believe workers will know how to choose.

As for the funds for relocation, don't forget that the current heavy machinery factory is owned by Volvo. With Volvo as a big backer, hundreds of millions of funds should be able to solve it. "

Ding Youdian nodded: "If I had Volvo as my backer, I would have chosen a good place to build a new factory and expand the scale.

It's just that now the land in the industrial park has been occupied, and it is difficult to find a whole 150 acres of land for the heavy machinery factory. "

Fukang Engineering and Fukang Agricultural Machinery were the first companies to come to the industrial park, and it was easier for them to secure a relatively large piece of land. With the arrival of Fukang Engineering and Fukang Agricultural Machinery, other supporting companies have also come here.

In the following years, the planned scale of the export industrial park was expanded several times. However, this was a period when China's manufacturing industry was booming, so the expanded industrial park was quickly filled up.

Although some open spaces can still be found in the industrial park, they are not very large, at least there is no entire open space of more than 150 acres for the use of construction machinery factories.

There was also a map of Qinghe City hanging in Ding Youliang's office, so Li Weidong walked up and said: "In our industrial park, heavy machinery factories can't come. They can only build factories elsewhere. Guess Guess where they will choose?”

Ding Youliang also walked to the map and said: "First of all, it is definitely not too far from the current site of the Heavy Machinery Factory. Most of the employees of the Heavy Machinery Factory live in their families' courtyards. If the distance is too far, it will be very difficult for employees to go online. It’s inconvenient, so I think the new factory site should be within ten kilometers of the old factory site!”

In 2000, the urban areas of many medium-sized cities were only a dozen kilometers from east to west. It took a dozen or twenty minutes to drive into the suburbs, so a distance of ten kilometers was already considered very long. It's far away. Maybe many people would rather change jobs just for the ten kilometers away.

Li Weidong said: "I will relax another five kilometers and calculate it as fifteen kilometers. Fifteen kilometers is about this long on the map! Let's see if there is a suitable place within this range."

As Li Weidong spoke, he drew a circle with a radius of fifteen kilometers on the map, centered on the heavy machinery factory.

Ding Youliang looked at the area marked by Li Weidong, and then said: "The west side is definitely not possible. Wouldn't your wholesale mall be built in the west? In the future, shopping malls will be built in that area, focusing on trade and logistics, so they should not go there. Planning such a large industrial land.

The north is also impossible. The city's latest plan calls for a new district to be built in the north, and all municipal government agencies, hospitals, normal colleges, health schools, zoos, and museums will be relocated to the north in order to optimize the layout and spatial structure of the urban area.

By then, the municipal party committee, government agencies, universities, cultural institutions, etc. will all be in the north, and industry will definitely not be planned in the same area. I just admired the cultural relics from the museum and was influenced by culture. When I went out, I saw a row of excavators passing by. How disappointing! "

"Yes, all government agencies and institutions don't want their offices to be surrounded by factories." Li Weidong smiled and nodded, and then said: "Then only the east and south are left."

"It's not very likely to go to the south. After all, there is a railway blocking it, which would be too much of a hindrance." Ding Youliang said.

At that time, China was not an infrastructure madman. It did not have the excellent bridge construction technology of later generations. A railway crossing it could seriously hinder the development of the city.

Ding Youliang's eyes finally fell on the east, an area on the east bank of the Qinghe River, and then said, "I think this place is pretty good, and it is very suitable for a heavy machinery factory to build a new factory area."

Li Weidong looked up and found three words on the map where Ding Youliang was: Bai Dun'er.

"Baidun'er" is a place name. The urban expansion of Qinghe City has not yet reached this area, so this area is still a rural area. It is divided into three villages, namely the former Baidun'er Village and the middle Baidun'er Village. and Houbaidun'er Village.

Seeing that where Ding Youliang was pointing was Bai Dun'er, Li Weidong's eyes flashed, and his face showed a half-smile expression.

Ding Youliang went on to explain: "The land in Baidun'er is not very fertile, and the agricultural output value has never been high, so most of the villagers there have gone to the city to work. It is actually very cost-effective to plan Baidun'er as industrial land. Yes, and the three upper, middle and lower villages of Baidun'er can also get 150 acres of land.

Another important point is the close distance. Although Baidun'er is on the east bank of Qinghe River, it is not far from Tuanjie Road Bridge, with a straight-line distance of less than three kilometers. If we don’t go in a straight line, it’s only four to five kilometers.

Currently, only heavy vehicles are not allowed to pass through Tuanjie Road, but ordinary vehicles and motorcycles can still pass through as usual. If you start from the heavy machinery factory's courtyard, it's almost one kilometer to the Tuanjie Road Bridge, a little more than one kilometer to cross the bridge, and another four kilometers to Baidun'er.

This adds up to a distance of six to seven kilometers. If you ride a bicycle, it will only take half an hour. Motorcycles and cars will be faster. This is also more convenient for employees of heavy machinery factories to commute to get off work. "

Li Weidong nodded: "For heavy machinery factories, Baidun'er is indeed a good place to build a new factory! I said, Old Ding, you didn't think much about it, just said Baidun'er, has it been long ago? Have you done your research?

"To be honest, when I was the director of a heavy machinery factory, I felt that Bai Dun'er was very suitable for building a new factory. We held several meetings to discuss it at that time. If it hadn't been for the objections of the employee representatives, the heavy machinery factory might have been moved. Went to Baidun'er," Ding Youliang replied.

"We had a meeting to discuss it? Didn't we leave the minutes of the meeting?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

Upon hearing the words "meeting minutes", Ding Youliang immediately shouted: "Oops! Meeting minutes! How could I forget this matter!"

The minutes of the meeting at that time were all archived by the Archives Department. Now Zhang Tao only needs to look through the minutes of that year to know that I have conducted a comprehensive survey on the new factory site.

Zhang Tao didn't have to do anything. He just looked at my research results and knew that Baidun'er was the best place to build a new factory! oops! I should have destroyed all these materials when I left. Now, Zhang Tao got the advantage! "

Ding Youliang had an annoyed expression on his face. After all his hard work, he was now making a wedding dress for his competitor. Naturally, he was in a terrible mood.

Li Weidong smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Old Ding, don't worry, it's a blessing in disguise, and this matter has not yet been resolved. At least 150 acres of industrial land, from planning to approval, When it comes to land acquisition and construction, it requires a complicated process, and we have plenty of opportunities to stumble! ”

At the same time, in the conference room of the heavy machinery factory, Zhang Tao summoned a group of his subordinates to discuss the relocation of the entire factory.

"We can't stay in this place on Tuanjie Road any longer. We can only wait for death. Now we have only one option before us, which is to relocate the entire factory!"

After Zhang Tao made this decision, he looked at everyone and continued: "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell us. Let's work together to solve the current problem."

The chairman of the labor union in the factory was the first to speak: "Director, before you came, we actually discussed the relocation of the entire factory, and we discussed it more than once, but in the end nothing came to an end.

A very important reason is that the workers' opposition is relatively loud. After all, the family home is here, and everyone is used to working in the factory as soon as they leave home. If the factory is moved, commuting to and from work will become a problem.

Especially for some dual-income families, both husband and wife work in our factory. If the distance to work is relatively far, there will be a lot of inconvenience in life. "

"Is life inconvenient? That's easy! Just quit your job and don't do it!" Zhang Tao snorted coldly, and then said, "I just said, if you stay here, you will be waiting for death. They want to die, but I don't want to! I don't want to move. , everyone get out of here!”

The chairman of the union stopped talking. After all, the construction machinery factory has reached a stage of life and death. At this time, don't worry about the inconvenience of life. Survive first.

Another person spoke again: "Director, our factory is so large. If the entire factory is relocated, it will require a lot of funds. How should we solve this funding problem?"

"Ask Volvo for money!" Zhang Tao snorted coldly and said with confidence; "Since Volvo has acquired our factory, they have to take care of our life and death! To put it another way, if we stop production, Volvo's investment will also have to It’s all in vain. I’ll report it to Volvo and ask them to allocate several hundred million to help us complete the relocation!”

Someone else said, "Director, where should we move? If the entire factory is to be relocated, a large piece of land will be needed. It must be 140 to 50 acres!"

Moreover, Volvo has shipped some of its production lines, and 140 to 50 acres of land may not be enough. In addition, if production increases in the future, it is estimated that 200 acres of land will be needed.

We need to find a place where we can get 200 acres of land, preferably not too far from the current factory site, so that it will be more convenient for employees to go to work. "

Zhang Tao smiled confidently, and then said, "I have found a place to move to, it is Baidun'er on the other side of the river!"

No pop-ups, timely updates!
