Luo Zhiyuan was silent for a moment. Just when many people thought he might be speechless, he suddenly smiled and said loudly: "Secretary Guo, before I answer your question, can you answer me a question?"

Guo Weiquan also smiled, "Please speak with Mr. Luo."

"Secretary Guo, for example, if you bought a sedan worth 50,000 yuan, then after you have used it for many years, can you still say that this car is worth 50,000 yuan? If you sell it to someone else for 50,000 yuan, is anyone going to want it?" Luo Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

Guo Weiquan was stunned and then returned loudly: "Of course not."

"Since that's the case, by the same token, the existing assets of the two state-owned wool mills have been operating for decades, aging, wearing and depreciating, and their market value has long depreciated significantly. It must be pointed out that after the two wool mills went bankrupt and closed one after another, the remaining value of the existing assets is just a number on paper. If it cannot be revitalized and no one takes over, then it is actually worthless."

"Let's talk about those equipment. The market situation in the domestic textile industry is so serious now that it is obvious that it cannot continue to maintain production. Since it cannot be produced, these equipment and machines are just a pile of scrap iron. To be honest, it is useless for us to stay. Even when the scrap is processed, it will cost - if the city recycles it as a state-owned asset, we welcome it with both hands!"

Luo Zhiyuan's voice was generous and powerful, and he waved his hand suddenly, and his gestures were frozen in the air.

"If anyone is willing to take over, we are willing to transfer it at an extremely low price, so as not to let people say that we have taken advantage of the country's wealth. Is there any? You can sign up on site. I promise here that you will definitely keep your word!" Luo Zhiyuan immediately made another joke.

There was a burst of laughter immediately on the scene, and the originally tense and dull atmosphere was adjusted to make it easier and cheerful.

Chang Shuxin sat on the stage and couldn't help but smile. Only then did he stare at Luo Zhiyuan deeply and carefully look at his appearance. It was not until this moment that Luo Zhiyuan attracted his real attention.

He is adaptable to the situation and is at ease, and is good at grasping and controlling the rhythm when facing the question. He is so calm, so demeanor and eloquence that he appears in a young man in his 20s. How can he not attract attention!

This kid is not simple. If he enters the officialdom, he will definitely be a good seedling. Chang Shuxin said intimately that there were more things in his eyes.

An Zhiru smiled unexpectedly, tapped the table with his hands, and then turned around and talked with Chang Shuxin.

Guo Weiquan's face turned red, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he still smiled gracefully, "Thank you, Mr. Luo for your answer. I am very satisfied. It's because I was not considering it carefully and neglected this issue."

Luo Zhiyuan smiled and nodded. Seeing that this person was honest and clear-headed, he was obviously not deliberately making things difficult for him, but raised such questions based on some concerns about the loss of state-owned assets. Therefore, he not only did not feel disgusted or hated Guo Weiquan, but instead felt that this person was somewhat unique and left a deep impression on him.

Luo Zhiyuan's few words casually resolved an invisible discourse crisis. Although Luo Zhiyuan's explanation was somewhat suspicious of changing the concept, he finally carried out a complete self-certification of innocence, which eliminated the suspicion in many people.

Applause sounded from the audience.

Tang Xiaolan clapped excitedly, and looked at Luo Zhiyuan with a more gentle look, implying a bit of heat. Facing Guo Weiquan's mouth, even if her person was on stage, she would not be better than Luo Zhiyuan.

Lin Meijuan sat there with complicated eyes, her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and she couldn't tell what it felt like.

At this moment, even if she felt rejection and resistance in her heart, she could not help but admit that this young but outrageously mature man on the stage had a much higher quality than ordinary people in all aspects. He was definitely a hidden dragon. When the time came, it would soar into the sky.

...

A man in his forties, wearing a black cold-proof suit, hesitated for a moment, grabbed the microphone and spoke in the local dialect and whispered: "Mr. Luo, my name is Zhang Weimin. He was the former director of a workshop of Sanmao Factory. On behalf of all the employees of the two factories, I would like to ask a question."

"You said." Luo Zhiyuan waved his hand and smiled.

At this moment, he was more relaxed and fluent on the stage. The original draft and response plan he had prepared were not used. It was all up to him to perform on the spot and adapt to the situation. He knew that this should be the last questioning question. After the employee representative asked, the public questioning meeting could be successfully concluded.

Zhang Weimin pondered for a moment, "Mr. Luo, our two factories used to have more than 3,000 employees. Last year, most of them were laid off and self-finding. Now there are about 1,000 people waiting for employment. It can be said that these people are waiting for rice to be cooked. If they don't have a job, they will go hungry. But we know that the maximum number of employees placed in the restructuring plan is 600 to 800. So, Mr. Luo, how are the new company planning to arrange the remaining few hundred people?"

As soon as Zhang Weimin said, many old employees from the two factories in the audience applauded warmly, and even stood up to cheer and shouted. To be honest, the thousand people who are waiting to take up their posts are to put it bluntly, and they all have great desire for the new company. However, according to the plan, a small number of them will still be eliminated and not placed, which no one wants to see. Obviously, if someone gets resettlement and someone doesn't get resettlement, the remaining people will definitely be making trouble.

This is the case in China. It is not a problem with the lack of food but unevenness. No one can eat, and it doesn’t matter if they are hungry. But if someone eats meat and drinks soup, the problem will arise. This is the reason why the big pot rice in state-owned enterprises is difficult to completely eliminate.

This is something Han Dajun and Xiahou Mingli have been worried about, and it is also a problem that the city has to face with caution.

Chang Shuxin turned her head and looked at Luo Zhiyuan, and said in her heart: Let's see how this young man answered.

Luo Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around the audience and said in a deep voice: "I know that there are many comrades in the two factories present. First of all, please forgive me. Because the capacity of the new company is limited, the maximum number of employees we have to place in batches cannot exceed 700 or 800 people. But please rest assured that as long as the company becomes bigger and stronger in the future, we will first consider absorbing employees of the old factory. As for the current problem, for this part of employees who do not have positions to place, we have such a suggestion: It is recommended that everyone retire internally in advance, receive their monthly salary refund, or find a way out or wait for employment."

"The two factories have established internal withdrawal offices and are responsible for managing their respective internal withdrawal employees. They are not considered internal institutions of the new company, but the salary and benefits of the internal withdrawal employees are borne by the new company."

Zhang Weiming rubbed his hands. Before he could say anything, Xiahou Mingli took over the conversation and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Luo, after the new company was established, our two factories will no longer exist. There is no problem with establishing a retirement office and management personnel in the internal withdrawal, but who will bear the retirement cost of this part of the retired employees?"

Luo Zhiyuan smiled indifferently: "The retirement cost of retired employees is of course borne by your respective equity dividends. Of course, the specific operating rules need to be formulated under the guidance of relevant departments in the city... This is equivalent to using state-owned assets that have been revitalized and value-added after revitalization to relieve worries for some employees who have made great contributions and sacrifices to the national construction and give them certain living guarantees - I say so, can Secretary Xiahou understand?"

Xiahou Mingli and Han Dajun looked at each other and felt relieved. In fact, this was exactly what they thought. However, they didn't count when it comes to state-owned assets dividends. If they apply for a report to the Light Textile Bureau and the city, they might not be able to approve it. However, it would be different if Luo Zhiyuan "explained" it in public. Since Chang Shuxin did not object, the city would not disagree. As for the Light Textile Bureau, I believe that no obstacle can be set up.

Chang Shuxin cleared her throat and smiled faintly, "This is also a way of thinking. I will instruct the relevant departments to conduct sufficient research and formulate an internal withdrawal resettlement plan that satisfies the employees. Please rest assured that the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attach great importance to the resettlement of old employees and will never let it go."

At this moment, a passionate applause suddenly broke out from the audience like a storm.

Almost all the attendants and their families stood up with excitement and applauded desperately.

Luo Zhiyuan smiled and bowed to the audience calmly.

...

The questioning will be a huge success. Looking at the overwhelming positive public opinion propaganda of major media in the city on the second day, it is enough to show that the city's attitude has not changed. Such a major event cannot be promoted without the approval of the city. Since it is promoted, there is only one result: the city not only agrees, but also hopes that the results will be achieved sooner, the faster the better.

Anbei Daily even posted a major report on the front page of the headlines-

The title is: Two state-owned wool mills have come out of the "winter", and the subtitle is "Kangqiao Industrial Company has launched asset restructuring for 'Sanmao' and 'Yimao', revitalizing state-owned assets, and relocating some employees."

As a newly established and distributed urban newspaper, the report of Anbei Evening News seems to have different focusses. It focuses on Luo Zhiyuan himself, calling him a "coming young entrepreneur" in the report, and posted a photo of Luo Zhiyuan himself standing on the stage with a full-minded look.

Tang Xiaolan walked into Luo Zhiyuan's office with two newspapers with a smile, placed it on his desk, pointed at the brilliant photo of Luo Zhiyuan in the newspaper and smiled: "Zhiyuan, you have become famous this time, which is equivalent to your personal interview... I just answered several calls, and many business owners have suggested that they want to meet you for a meal."
