Chapter 208: Fighting local tyrants to divide the land

When they heard that they were going to pay the debts, everyone was silent. Some people lowered their heads, as if they had encountered a difficult problem during the exam, saying that I would not be able to do this question; The students did not listen to the lectures and were wandering in vain.

Li Weidong looked at the performance of the people left and right, and then looked at Xu Zhilong, secretly thinking, this Xu Zhilong may be a little naive. With the economic situation in 1989, it is not easy for companies to pay for their debts.

Moreover, Li Weidong does not think that only one Xu Zhilong can solve the problem of triangular debts of enterprises in the region.

The triangular debt is not only a problem of non-payment of the debt, but also the issue of the industrial structure. In the early 1990s, the state introduced a lot of measures to solve the triangular debt. The triangular debt was finally cleared.

Now, without paying a penny, just relying on a document to set up several debt-clearing working groups, trying to clear the triangle debt problem, is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Everyone was silent, Xu Zhilong ate the door behind closed doors, and he had to say: Masters, there is an old saying in China that you owe your debts and pay your money, it is only right and right! Your debts are always a fact, right?

In this case, you should pay back the money as soon as possible. We have become a triangular debt clearing team, so I can assure you that whichever company pays off its debt first, the clearing team will give priority to helping him recover the debt!

The reaction given by everyone is still that I can't do this question, and what the teacher is talking about.

In desperation, Xu Zhilong had to be named.

Director Lu, tell me, your mold factory owes the triangular debt to those companies in the district, when are you going to repay it!

The director Wu, who was named, looked a little embarrassed, but he couldn't continue to play stupid. He had to say: Leader, our factory mainly owes money to the steel mills and aluminum factories in the district. As for the debt repayment, the factory The funds here are really tight recently, I'm afraid it won't be able to turn around for a while!

Funded? Your tax payment in the last quarter increased by 5% year-on-year! This shows that your business volume is increasing and your profits are also increasing. How can you be short of funds? Xu Zhilong asked.

Well... Director Lu pondered for a while, then found a new rhetoric: It is a fact that the business volume has increased, and it is true that the profit has increased, but our payment for the goods has not been recovered, so the funds will be tight. . Leader, you also know that other companies owe us money!

Which company owes you money? Xu Zhilong asked immediately.

It's mainly a few machinery factories, such as agricultural machinery factories, electrical machinery factories, hardware factories... Director Lu paused, then said: Leader, can't the district help us recover the arrears? You help us. If the factory asks for these arrears, we will have the money to repay the aluminum factory and the steel factory.”

After hearing this, Li Weidong, who was watching the play next to him, didn't even laugh.

Xu Zhilong hopes that the company will take out the money first and exchange the debt, so that it is possible to revitalize the entire triangular debt. However, what the company thinks is that others will exchange the money owed to me first, and then I will pay it back.

The triangle debt is like this, no one is willing to pay back the money first, because the one who pays the money first feels that he is at a loss, and therefore the triangle debt will fall into an endless loop.

Xu Zhilong's expression was a little embarrassed. He looked at another person and said, Director Jiang, tell me about the situation of your factory!

The main companies that owe our factory are...

I want you to tell me,

Your company's arrears! Xu Zhilong interrupted Director Jiang's words.

Director Jiang had no choice but to answer: Our factory owes some money to the coal company in the district, and the lime factory and the reagent factory also owe them part of the payment.

In fact, we really want to pay back the money, but the working capital in the factory is really tight. Wages of workers, maintenance of equipment, and electricity bills are all expenses.

If you overcome these difficulties, you can get through it, but if you repay the debt, the factory will not be able to get the extra money! Of course, if the district can get the one million that the plastic factory owes us, we will have the money to pay the debt.

The factory directors explained their situation one by one, and the meeting became a complaint meeting. Everyone is talking about how difficult it is for their business, and they are all emphasizing that the reason why they have no money to pay their debts is because other companies also owe them money.

Xu Zhilong's face gradually turned ashen. He called this meeting to solve the triangular debt problem, not to listen to everyone's complaints!

Moreover, the situation described by these companies seems to be more difficult than the other, as if the relevant departments should come up with some money and pay it back to the companies to solve their difficulties.

Director Li, tell me about your factory! Xu Zhilong finally called Li Weidong.

Li Weidong leaned forward and said, The situation of our factory is slightly better than that of your brother companies. At present, no company owes our factory money, so our factory does not need the district to help us collect debts!

Oh? Xu Zhilong's eyes lit up, thinking that he had finally found a breakthrough.

All the factory managers in the past were crying poor, and they all said that the factory had no money to repay the debt because other factories also owed them money. Now I have managed to catch someone who doesn't need to be charged, just in time to cooperate with the triangular debt clearing work in the district.

So Xu Zhilong asked, Since no company owes you money, your factory should have plenty of funds. Can you come up with a sum of money and pay back the money owed to other companies first!

Li Weidong smiled slightly: The leader said just now that debts are repaid. I agree! I have always adhered to this principle in the process of running the company, so our factory has never owed money to others.

Don't owe money? Xu Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and he didn't believe what Li Weidong said.

Li Weidong nodded seriously: Our factory doesn't have any debt problems, and we didn't even borrow a cent from the bank!

That's unlikely! Xu Zhilong questioned his face.

So when Li Weidong said that his company had no debt, Xu Zhilong would definitely not believe it.

Not only Xu Zhilong, but also other factory managers around him didn't believe that operating a business in that environment at the time, how could there be no triangular debt!

Li Weidong had no choice but to explain: The products of our Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory are all sold at the Canton Fair, so we also receive foreign trade orders, and the payment for goods is paid to the state's account first, and then we go to the factory. To settle the foreign exchange and exchange the money into RMB, it can go to the account of our factory.

Of course, it is also possible for foreign businessmen to owe their debts, but when it comes to foreign exchange matters, the foreign economic and trade department of the country will naturally pursue it, so I don’t need to worry about it. So there is no debt problem in our factory.

Uh... Xu Zhilong's face became embarrassed again.

He thought he had found a breakthrough, but he didn't expect this to be a master who didn't owe money! What they do is foreign trade orders, and the payment for goods is directly requested from the foreign trade department, and it will not be mixed into the domestic triangular debt mess!

Next, the meeting returned to the rhythm of the complaint meeting. In short, it was a sentence, asking for money or not!

Xu Zhilong was getting more and more depressed. He thought that he could inject the first fund to clear the triangular debt through the big taxpayers in these districts, but once the first fund was injected, the companies would repay each other, and the triangular debt problem would also be a problem. It can be solved.

Unexpectedly, none of these companies cooperated, and no one was willing to pay first.

It seems that the second plan must be used! Xu Zhilong swept his eyes to the crowd, his eyes inadvertently stayed on Li Weidong for a moment.

...

Li Weidong came to the electric furnace factory early in the morning. After stopping the car, he threw his gray head and dirt face into the yard for fun. Li Weidong left on foot and went straight to an open space in the west of town.

Today happened to be a fair in Xiangyang Town. There would be a lot of vendors gathered in that open space, so Li Weidong decided to go shopping.

In the rural market, everything is sold, such as food, clothes, daily necessities, and small furniture made by farmers. I don’t know if they are real or fake family antiques. Some people even set up pots and make dumplings and steamed buns on the spot. Sell.

Li Weidong strolled around the market for a long time, eating and drinking, and bought two beef hoof bones from a beef stall before returning to the electric furnace factory.

This cow hoof bone was bought for the disgraced. The two dogs were not neutered. Now is the time to be energetic. In order to prevent them from getting involved, I decided to give them two cow bones, which are enough for them to chew on. Play for a year.

As soon as Li Weidong walked to the gate of the electric furnace factory, he saw Ma Zhongyi hurried out.

Brother Ma, you are going out! Li Weidong said.

I'm going to meet you at the fair! Ma Zhongyi paused, then said, I just received a call saying that Xu Zhilong is coming to inspect!

Xu Zhilong? What is he doing here? Our factory doesn't have the problem of triangular debt. Li Weidong frowned slightly and said solemnly: It seems that this is a bad visitor!

In recent days, Xu Zhilong has been inspecting enterprises in the area. Said to go to inspect, in fact, to do the work one by one, I hope that all enterprises can cooperate with the triangular debt clearance work.

Xu Zhilong went to work in the company in person, and the various factory managers were not easy to refute Xu Zhilong's face.

Li Weidong had heard a little about this. However, the matter is not about hanging up high, and there is no triangular debt problem in the electric furnace factory, and Li Weidong did not pay too much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhilong came to the door on his own initiative.

...

In the conference room, Li Weidong personally brought the tea to Xu Zhilong.

This is the tea I brought at the Canton Fair. It is specially used for export. You can taste whether it suits your taste. If you think it tastes good, take two boxes before you leave! Li Weidong said with a smile.

Although Li Weidong is not very familiar with Xu Zhilong, he is a leader after all, and he has to do enough superficial work.

It's free if you take it away. If this tea should be quite expensive, I'll drink a few more cups at Director Li's place, and I'll be satisfied! Xu Zhilong picked up the teacup, took a sigh of relief, and nodded immediately: It is indeed true. Good tea!

After the two exchanged a few words, Li Weidong asked: The leader is here this time, I don't know what instructions you have.

Xu Zhilong put down the teacup and continued: I can't talk about instructions, I have visited some companies in the past two days, and I have also learned about the debts of each company, and at the same time, I have also cleared some of the triangular debts.

In this regard, the companies I visited are still relatively cooperative. For example, the abrasives factory has paid back the money owed to the aluminum factory; and the printing factory has also returned 200,000 yuan to the paper factory. owed money...

Xu Zhilong listed several repayment cases in one go.

It seems that the work of cleaning up the triangular debt in the district has been carried out in an orderly manner, and it is very effective. This is because of your well-headed Xu District! Li Weidong gave Xu Zhilong a high hat.

The main thing is that the enterprises in the district are willing to cooperate. Xu Zhilong paused, and then said: Director Li, I came to you this time because of this triangular debt.

Leader, our factory doesn't owe money to others. Of course, other companies don't owe us money. This triangular debt should have nothing to do with our factory! Li Weidong said.

Although your factory does not have the problem of triangular debt, you are also an enterprise in the district after all. Now the district is cleaning up the triangular debt for the sake of the economic development of the whole district. I very much hope that Director Li can give some help to the best of his ability. Xu Zhilong said. .

How can I help? Li Weidong asked with a smile.

I just heard Xu Zhilong say: This triangular debt is nothing more than that I owe you money, you owe him money, and he owes me money, but as a result, everyone is reluctant to take out the money first to repay, and eventually an infinite loop is formed. If one of them is willing to repay, then the triangular debt problem will naturally be solved.”

Li Weidong smiled noncommittally, neither agreeing nor disapproving.

Xu Zhilong went on to say: So, if you want to solve the triangular debt problem, the most important thing is money. As long as a sum of money goes into the triangular debt, the entire triangular debt can be revitalized. Director Li, I came to you this time, just to talk to you about it. You borrowed money!

When Xu Zhilong mentioned money, Li Weidong had already guessed Xu Zhilong's purpose.

Since Xu Zhilong came to the door in person, for the sake of future relationship, Li Weidong more or less wanted to give others some face.

So Li Weidong said: Leader, since you have spoken, I will definitely support your work, so let's get the accountant to prepare 50,000 yuan to help you clear up the team to solve the triangular debt problem. In the afternoon I'll send it to you. You don't have to rush to repay the money, until the triangular debt is almost cleared up.

Li Weidong knows that the triangular debt problem cannot be solved with money. If the money is borrowed, it is estimated that the meat buns beat the dog, and it will never be returned! I don't know if it's the year of the monkey and the month of the horse when I pay back the money. So Li Weidong didn't plan to get the money back, so it was treated as a charity.

In Li Weidong's view, 50,000 yuan is a lot for Xu Zhilong's sake. In 1989, 50,000 yuan was considered a huge sum of money, and it topped 50,000 yuan.

However, when he heard that it was only 50,000 yuan, Xu Zhilong immediately shook his head: Director Li, there are hundreds of companies in our district, and this 50,000 yuan is only enough to revitalize one or two companies!

Li Weidong's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect Xu Zhilong to want more.

So Li Weidong asked, Xu District, how much do you plan to borrow from me?

Xu Zhilong stretched out five fingers: At least five million!

Five million? Li Weidong smiled coldly: Leader, your joke is not funny.
