BYD's battery factory near Changyang Valley has broken ground and does not even plan to rest during the Chinese New Year, and strives to start production next spring.

The district leaders despise the battery factory before, but now they have a 180-degree turn.

The reason is nothing more than that there are too many laid-off workers in the jurisdiction, and laid-off and re-employment have become the first political task of leaders. A battery factory and a mobile phone case factory, as long as they settle here, they can solve the re-employment problem of one or two thousand laid-off workers.

I heard that Shenzhou Technology plans to build a motherboard factory, the district leaders are extremely enthusiastic and send special personnel to help with the procedures.

This is just a microcosm of the laid-off wave in 1998. From 1996 to 2002, millions of state-owned enterprises went bankrupt and nearly 40 million state-owned enterprises were laid off. At the same time, 20 million workers in township collective units in various places were unemployed - this is just registration data, and there are countless people who have not registered.

Nowadays, the prices of building materials resources such as coal, steel, and cement have also plummeted, and countless related companies have gone bankrupt, and there are also a lot of foreign companies that have been cheated and withdrawn.

This starts in 1992. Due to the rapid economic development, the scale of domestic infrastructure is huge, and the prices of various basic resources are soaring. Foreign capital is profitable and invests wildly in China's steel and coal industries, and various large-scale projects are also launched in China.

This year finally collapsed, with too much production and oversupply.

A large coal mine in a certain province with an investment of tens of billions of yuan was cut in 1996. It has not started construction yet, so it is really hard to dig out the coal and cannot be sold.

99% of those foreign steel companies that invested huge amounts of money to China have suffered losses to varying degrees, and many have not even made any investments back. Now all those who can withdraw have begun to withdraw, and those who cannot withdraw can only be rotten there, and I hope someone can come and take over it quickly.

Song Shumin is still waiting and watching. His cement plant is still in the plan. He will only be launched when the government releases the exact news. If it can't wait long, the two sessions will be held and the specific departments will discuss for a while, and the golden age of China's funds will be approaching.

The central government decided to expand infrastructure construction, in addition to driving industrial development and expanding domestic demand, it is also solving the urgent problem, because coal mines, steel companies, and building materials companies everywhere are almost starving to death! Even the complete openness and support of the real estate industry is also a factor that can consume a large amount of backlog of resources and materials.

...

Song Weiyang walked around the factory and returned to the general manager's office and asked: "How is Xiaolingtong's sales recently?"

Shen Fuxing said: "I went crazy during the New Year's Day event, and then it stabilized. By the way, the telecommunications department again reported that the business opening plan for the third batch of cities was invalid. Although there were no explicit regulations, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications delivered a call and no new Xiaolingtong business will be opened in provincial capital cities within the next year."

"It can be imagined that the leadership of the telecommunications department is under great pressure." Song Weiyang said.

Shen Fuxing said: "I am discussing with the telecommunications department to bypass provincial capital cities and select medium-sized cities with relatively developed economies. And they have to open one by one, and one city will be opened on average in two months. You can't open too much at once, so as not to attract criticism again."

Song Weiyang asked: "Is anyone here to fight Qiufeng, such as wanting to earn a share of the shares or something?"

"There are many people who fight Qiufeng, but there are no ones who talk about investing," Shen Fuxing said with a smile. "After all, the policy is unclear. Maybe one day the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications will ban Xiaolingtong."

"How is Rong Huaili doing?" Song Weiyang asked.

Rong Huaili is the head of the procurement department of Shenzhou Technology and was transferred from Xifeng Company. For Shenzhou Technology, which can only be assembled now, the procurement department belongs to the first department, with a lot of power and a lot of oil and water, which makes people envious.

Chen Fuxing smiled and said, "This person is quite regular and is really capable of doing things."

"More rules" means "not being too greedy". If you want to find a purchasing person in charge who is not greedy in China, you will definitely not be able to find it, whether it is a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise. The evaluation of "can do things" shows that Rong Huaili not only has his own "rules", but also allows specific purchasing personnel to "accord".

The DJI company, which produces drones, has a chaotic internal management and is even more indescribable in purchasing. In the end, it actually brought the technicians to take the blame, which made it known to everyone in the country, ruining its good reputation.

Song Weiyang doesn't want his Shenzhou Technology to become like DJI.

Song Weiyang said: "Let Rong Huaili form an inspection team to inspect several high-end SMT manufacturers in Japan. Academician Ni will help contact some technical talents and even invite cadres from the Beijing TV Equipment Factory. That cadre participated in the introduction project of the patch machine. He is more familiar with the market and asked Rong Huaili to listen to this person's opinions. Also, you send a confidant to be the deputy to Rong Huaili and try to minimize the purchase price."

Chen Fuxing asked: "What treatment should Academician Ni asks for help?"

"This is a trivial matter, you can do it yourself." Song Weiyang said.

Chen Fuxing smiled and said, "Then each person will give you $500 in shopping money, and some people will give you $300 more quietly."

Song Weiyang said: "I'm so stingy. Each person costs $1,000, and some people pay an extra $500 at their discretion. These are all goods in their stomachs. If you make a good relationship, it would be better to be able to poach the cadres of the Beijing TV Equipment Factory to Shenzhou Technology. I heard that this person graduated from a technical secondary school and was in the workshop management department. He has been doing installation for more than ten years. If he could dig him over, he would be the deputy director of the motherboard factory and be responsible for production management."

Although it is no longer uncommon to go abroad these days, it still makes people yearn for it. Even if Shenzhou Technology doesn't give a penny, those people are happy to travel abroad for free. They are definitely very happy to pay 1,000 US dollars (more than 8,000 yuan) to shop, and they are absolutely happy. They can buy some Japanese goods and get a lot of face.

Chen Fuxing said: "It should be possible to dig it up. The traditional electrical appliance business is not easy to do now. I heard that one-third of the TVs produced in China last year could not be sold. The life of the Beijing TV Equipment Factory is also very difficult. As long as we give the position of deputy factory director, the person will most likely be moved."

The two were discussing the construction plan of the motherboard factory, but suddenly it became noisy outside.

Chen Fuxing called the secretary and asked, "What happened?"

The secretary didn't know, so he quickly said, "I'll go and ask."

A few minutes later, the secretary ran back and reported: "A woman in her 50s came to find a job. Her colleague from the Human Resources Department asked her to come back after the Spring Festival. We had no recruitment plan before the New Year. She insisted on leaving and knew about foreign languages ​​and computers. Her monthly salary was only 800 yuan, and she could do whatever she wanted."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "This is so strange. I am in my 50s and know about foreign languages ​​and computers. I only have a salary of 800 yuan. Call her over!"

The secretary quickly brought a woman. In addition to having more lines at the corners of her eyes, she really couldn't tell that she was in her 50s. She was dressed in a fashionable and decent manner, and had a faint perfume smell on her body.

"Do you know foreign languages?" Song Weiyang suddenly asked in English.

The old woman immediately replied in English: "I used to be a foreign teacher and taught Russian in college. Russian is no longer popular and taught myself English. Later, I worked in a Japanese company for three years and also knew some Japanese, but I could only communicate daily. I am both very good at English and Russian, and I can also work on computers. I only have a salary of 800 yuan, so I can be an ordinary clerk. I guarantee that my typing speed is not inferior to that of young people."

"No, you know three foreign languages ​​and computer office work, how can you come here to do 800 yuan?" Song Weiyang asked.

The old woman said, "I resigned from Shanghai Foreign Studies University in 1986. I first worked in a Japanese company, and then in a British company. My monthly salary was 6,000 yuan. The senior executives of the British company are all British people. No matter how hard I work, I can't get promoted. The monthly salary of 6,000 yuan is considered the highest, and I am quite satisfied. As a result, last month, the British company suddenly went bankrupt. I am older, in my 50s, and no one wants to find a job everywhere."

Shen Fuxing said: "Since you used to have a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, you shouldn't have to rush to find a job. Why can't you wait for us to recruit after the New Year?"

The old woman smiled bitterly: "I spent all my savings from working in a foreign company for more than ten years to my son to study abroad. My son returned to China the previous year and also joined a foreign company. At the beginning, he could get more than 4,000 yuan in a monthly salary, but it had increased to 5,000 yuan last year. As life was getting better and better. So when I got married, I bought him a house in the city, with a loan of tens of thousands of yuan, and thought that I could repay the loan at will. As a result, my son's foreign company also collapsed, and my foreign company also collapsed. Not only did I owe the bank mortgage, but also owed relatives some down payment for buying a house. If I don't look for a job quickly and can't afford the loan, the bank will take back the house!"

Song Weiyang asked: "Shenghai's foreign companies have gone bankrupt a lot?"

The old man said, "It's up, especially after New Year's Day, one after another."

Well, it was only early 1998. Not only did state-owned enterprises usher in a wave of bankruptcies, but Shenghai's foreign companies also closed down countless times.

In addition, there are countless private enterprises in various suburbs of Shenghai, and they have been one of the main forces of China's exports since the 1980s. Now they are falling faster because they are heavily reliant on exports, and the Asian financial crisis has ruined them.

State-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and foreign enterprises are competing to go bankrupt. The dilemma of China's economy in 1998 is far more difficult than expected.

Song Weiyang said to Shen Fuxing: "Arrang a suitable job for this elder sister."
