"Correct, a batch of factories and land."
Secretary Yang Xiaoqing said with a smile, "After the previous batch of state-owned factories were merged and integrated, there was a lot of surplus land and factory buildings. However, these were state-owned assets and could not be easily transferred into the pockets of ordinary people, so they have been shelved.
If I'm not mistaken, your ambitions, young Wang, are not limited to the present, and you will definitely need to develop in the future. Therefore, I can authorize the sale of this land and factory buildings to you...
Of course, you will still have to pay for these factory buildings and land, and public assets cannot be sold at a low price. But I will not let others take advantage of the situation to inflate prices and make you a scapegoat."
Secretary Yang spoke eloquently, and Wang Yu's heart felt a surge of excitement.
The Secretary's words could be summarized in one sentence: Wang Yu could buy a batch of factories and land that were public assets at a reasonable price!
This was a very significant level of support! After all, not everyone was qualified to acquire public assets.
Moreover, even in a transaction, the price would often be very high. As for the reason... well, those who understand will understand.
Therefore, the Secretary's speech was full of sincerity, and not everyone could enjoy such treatment!
"This..." Wang Yu's face showed a struggle.
It had to be said that Secretary Yang's conditions were very tempting. With a large amount of vacant factory buildings and land, he could directly expand his factory. His previous plan was to acquire those bankrupt or near-bankrupt factories. The large-scale repayment of debts today was actually to show others the cash flow of his factory, in order to facilitate future acquisitions.
But now that the Secretary had made such an offer, there was an even better option. After all, state-owned factories and land might not be the cheapest, but they were definitely the best.
If he could acquire them, it would be a very profitable deal!
"State-owned factories have many excellent technical backbones and production operators, which are not comparable to a mere private automobile factory like yours.
Moreover, for the funds to purchase land and factory buildings, I can introduce you to banks for low-interest loans, as excellent enterprises always need a certain degree of support within a reasonable range. This will give you more ample funds for development."
Secretary Yang had a serene smile. It had to be said that his conditions were very tempting, making Wang Yu's heart burn with desire.
He was indeed lacking excellent production and R&D technical personnel at the moment. All the R&D and product development work in the entire factory relied on him to personally handle, to the point where he wished he could split himself into eight to get things done.
After all, although he had a mind full of advanced technical theories, the craftsmanship and equipment of this era were still very backward. Some designs needed to be repeatedly modified to be converted into products that were practical.
For example, there were only ten CNC machine tools in Jiangyang County, all of which were very scarce and highly sought after. And these were still ten-year-old technologies!
For example, the portable music player that Wang Yu was currently developing was constrained by the technology of the magnetic heads, forcing him to rely on importing parts from overseas. Although this allowed him to produce the first batch of samples, the production process was not only troublesome, but also very costly, making it impossible to meet Wang Yu's standard of affordable and practical domestic products.
For domestic products to flourish, they naturally had to be cheap and easy to use. High prices were for earning foreign exchange from foreigners!
He had been thinking about how to solve this problem, but a pile of other matters kept him from being able to spare the time.
If he had a team of excellent R&D personnel, he would only need to provide the general direction and ideas, saving much more time and energy!
As for the importance of excellent production operators, it went without saying; they were often national treasures!
Thinking of this, Wang Yu's face showed a look of interest.
"What do you say, young Wang?"
Secretary Yang calmly took a sip of tea. He didn't believe Wang Yu would refuse.
"Since the Secretary has spoken, I naturally will not disappoint you." Wang Yu thought for a moment, "However, my factory is small and may not be able to accommodate too many esteemed individuals. Therefore, I hope you can agree to a few things."
"Oh, speak freely."
"First, regarding the personnel I accept, I need to personally vet and screen them. I don't want incompetent people who just loaf around to come and freeload." Wang Yu spoke first.
"That's no problem." Yang Xiaoqing nodded without hesitation.
Anyway, those people in the state-owned factories were now supported by the county. There wasn't much difference between those who loafed around and those who were capable. On the contrary, it would be easier to deal with the remaining useless individuals after the truly capable ones left.
"Second, I hope, as you said, that I will have full autonomy in managing these personnel. I don't want my factory to end up having to entertain a group of masters."
"That's natural. Once their work relationships are transferred to you, they are your people. As long as you don't fire them arbitrarily, you can do whatever you want with the rest."
Secretary Yang did not hesitate on this point either.
"Third, and the most important and troublesome matter." Wang Yu took a deep breath. "Secretary, I am deeply grateful for your care. I will purchase the factory buildings and land at 30% above the market price, in full, so as not to make things difficult for you. As for bank loans, forget it. Wang Yu will only do what he can afford. I don't want the factory to become a slave to financing in the end."
Wang Yu said this resolutely.
How many real enterprises in later generations died at this step? Loans and financing, only to become puppets of capital in the end.
Therefore, since his rebirth, he had set a goal for himself: no financing, no loans, and to focus on producing good products with a solid foundation!
"Oh? Is that so?"
Secretary Yang was somewhat surprised. He clearly hadn't expected Wang Yu to proactively offer to increase the price, and even refuse the preferential terms of low-interest loans.
This was a condition that many factories and enterprises would search for with a lantern and still not find!
However, after thinking about Wang Yu's previous decision to proactively increase the prices of all parts supplies by 30%, he, Yang Xiaoqing, immediately understood.
This action, which many people would consider foolish or crazy, of giving money away proactively, was...
But in Yang Xiaoqing's opinion, this was a very brilliant move, indicating that his vision was not limited to immediate small gains.
And now, this proactive price increase further demonstrated the other party's breadth of vision and overall perspective. He seemed to be losing out in the short term, but he would only gain more in the future!
"Of course, I still have another request that I would like to humbly ask Secretary Yang to help coordinate."
Wang Yu spoke again.
"What conditions? Tell me." Yang Xiaoqing looked at Wang Yu with admiration.
"The Dongzhou Industrial Expo next month will be held in our province. I have some confidence in my factory and want to participate." Wang Yu did not hide anything and directly stated the matter between him and the Machinery Industry Association.
"Is that so... it might be a bit difficult!" Secretary Yang appeared hesitant and reluctant this time.
