Chapter 45 Bidding for the Cannery
I nodded and smiled at Director Mu and sat back on the seat. He sat in the front row. I found that he secretly glanced at me from time to time. Of course I don’t know what he was thinking.
I thought several units would come to bid no matter what, but I finally found that only Director Mu and I had submitted the bid. I was wondering.
The canning factory has 100 acres of land. Although this factory is not big, this land is worth a lot of money! It is not impossible to use it to do other transactions without canning. Why is no one interested? Is there something tricky inside?
I couldn't figure out the reason. Maybe I know too little about the canning factory. Since I'm here, I have to wait for the result to see what's going on. If there are really some irreconcilable contradictions, I might give up.
It was not until 9:00 that seven or eight people came to the ** platform and announced the start of the bidding meeting.
Deputy County Mayor Huang presided over the meeting. He first introduced the current situation of Minli Canning Factory. What he said was very simple, similar to the information published online. Then the county decided to carry out bankruptcy reorganization, bid for the public, and made it clear that the winner could operate other projects.
This is exactly what I want. If I continue to produce canned fruits, I will not be able to expand my business scope due to restrictions.
After being confirmed by Deputy County Mayor Huang, there were only two bidders. Director Mu bought the bid in his personal name, while I bid in the name of the Shigou Village Characteristic Ecological Company.
Originally they could have announced the winning results directly, but Deputy County Mayor Huang said that because there were only two bidders, we asked us to discuss the development plan after winning the bid on the spot, and the bidding team then conduct research and decisions.
Director Mu was named first and went to the ** platform for introduction.
His name is Mu Zhiming. He is 40 years old. He has worked in a canning factory for 20 years and has been the factory manager for 5 years. Due to market reasons, canned fruits have become obsolete foods, and their development prospects are bleak, which has led to losses in the factory and is already insolvent.
Taking advantage of bankruptcy, he wanted to change the fate of the cannery. If he wins the bid, he will use social recruitment to raise funds. First, he will consider internal employees and use the money to repay bank loans, social security arrears, workers' wages, and merchants' arrears.
The canning factory is located on the east side of Huangtu County, with two main roads to the east and north, and the geographical location is quite good. He plans to develop the canning factory's land to build at least four high-rise buildings. According to the current market for commercial housing, he can make a lot of money. Then he allocates the money earned to the employees who raise funds, and the employees can get a lot of income, at least ten or eight years of life will be fine.
There are now more than 300 employees working in canning factories, most of whom are over 50 years old and basically retired after 10 years. At that time, they had already received pensions, so their lives were naturally guaranteed. If he did this, he could ensure that all employees retire normally.
His conclusion is that real estate development is the best choice for canning factories at present.
Sparse applause rang out.
Next I will take the stage to explain my development plan.
I didn't talk much like Director Mu, I only said three points.
1. Canning plants are still canning plants, but they only need innovation, improvement, transformation, and creation of their own unique products to adapt to the market.
2. I will pay off all the debts of the cannery, including bank loans, social security arrears, workers' wages and supplier's arrears.
3. All registered workers will have proper arrangements. Of course, I clearly stated that I would compete for employment, and I gave a three-month period. For the elimination of incompetent employees, I hope the county will help relieve their worries and give them the treatment of bankrupt enterprises.
I talked on stage for up to two minutes. The conference room was quiet and even a needle could be heard. About ten seconds later, Deputy County Mayor Huang took the lead in applauding. The initial applause was also sparse, and later became enthusiastic.
I walked off the stage with applause and found that the most exciting thing was the more than a dozen people sitting around Director Mu, accompanied by continuous cheers. **The leaders on the stage stopped applauding, and their hands were still slapping, and even several ups and downs formed several climaxes.
Deputy County Magistrate Huang took the lead in applauding again. Perhaps his hand hurt a little, so he signaled everyone to stop.
"Everyone will have a break first, the bidding team will discuss and study, and then announce the winning results later."
A group of leaders left the conference room.
The conference room suddenly became lively, and someone came to me and began to inquire about my situation, my origin, and even my agricultural company.
When I answered their questions one by one, I found that Director Mu turned his head to look at me, and his eyes seemed to be filled with resentment.
When he finished his speech just now, there were only sparse applause, and the results of the speeches between the two sides formed a sharp contrast, and he seemed very angry.
Of course I don’t care about his thoughts. Since we are all bidders, we are naturally competitors, and there are joys and sorrows.
Those who are curious about me have never heard of my Shigou Village Featured Ecological Company. I smiled slightly and did not explain. I don’t know who they are, and I don’t want to reveal my details too early.
Regarding their questions, I hummed and responded to them on the surface.
Someone asked, how do I treat employees of the company and how do I survive the fittest?
Actually, I just have a way of thinking about these things. I haven’t figured out the specific plan yet. Bai Luoxue came up with this idea for me. Regarding the specific plan, I have to wait until the bid is won before planning it in detail. I think too early. Wouldn’t it be useless to not win the bid?
Seeing that I was talking less, someone was keen and stopped asking more questions. One of them seemed to be very interested in me, indicating that he was a worker in the canning factory. He attended the bidding meeting as a worker representative to supervise the fairness of the bidding on the spot and ensure that the bidding is open and transparent, and there is no undercover operation.
When he said these words, he was relatively low, almost whispering in my ears, only I could hear them myself.
I understand, he is preventing Director Mu from listening.
I smiled faintly and didn't say anything, after all, the bidding results have not been announced yet. I may be a passerby and may not win the bid. It would be detrimental to them if I talked too much with their employees.
At this time, I found that Director Mu looked at these people with greater resentment. These people ignored his expression, as if they didn't care whether he was happy, sad or hatred at all, just pretending that he didn't exist.
Chapter completed!
