Chapter 920 Factory Closure

The moment he saw this middle-aged man, Su Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he had never seen this person before.

Su Qishan's reaction was not small. He immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said, "Director Liu, why are you here at this time? Come in and sit down quickly."

The middle-aged man was carrying something in his hand. Su Ming glanced at it after closing the door. He saw a box of Xiangfei pears, a box of sugar oranges, some apples and the like, which should cost one or two hundred yuan in total. look.

"Lao Su, this is your son, right? He's already a young boy. Is he still in school now?" After the middle-aged man sat down, he glanced at Su Ming, then said with a smile.

Su Qishan also came over to sit down and said, "Yes, I am in my third year of high school this year. Director Liu, have you eaten? Why don't we eat some together?"

"Thanks----"

Su Ming handed him a cup of tea. The middle-aged man said thank you politely, and then said, "No, I've already eaten at home. I went to celebrate the New Year at noon and drank a lot of wine. I didn't eat at all in the evening." Not much less.”

Su Qishan smiled, and then said: "Director Liu, I don't know what's wrong with you coming here so late at night."

Anyway, Su Qishan didn't believe that he came here specially to pay New Year's greetings. He was just an ordinary employee of the factory. Where did he get the qualifications for the factory director to come to pay New Year's greetings in person? There must be something going on.

Sure enough, Director Liu had something to say in his heart. He had probably been thinking about how to say it since he entered the door.

Su Qishan's words gave him a chance to speak in time, so Director Liu said: "Qishan, you must have been working in our factory for many years, you are the oldest employee in the group. What do you think about the current situation of our factory?"

This question seemed a little unclear, and Su Qishan couldn't figure out what he meant, so he said: "Director Liu, you also know that I am not very good at telling lies, so I will tell you Tell the truth."

"That's for sure, of course you have to tell the truth." Director Liu nodded and said.

So Su Qishan continued: "Our factory used to be very brilliant in Ningcheng. It supported many people. It was even the most developed enterprise in Ningcheng at that time."

"But things are different now. After the reform and opening up, various companies have continued to rise, but our factory has gradually declined due to some internal reasons."

Su Qishan even felt a little sad when he said this, and said: "There is no vitality in the factory now. We can't recruit young workers. Only the elderly like us are left hanging around there. I heard that the factory's performance is not good either." , it should have been in a state of loss, right?"

Regarding these operating issues of the factory, Su Qishan, an ordinary employee, must not know much about it, but he can roughly guess that given the current state of the factory, it is probably always in a state of loss.

Factory Director Liu nodded, with an indescribably complicated expression on his face, and then said: "It's not just a loss, it has not been profitable for many years, and the factory can no longer survive."

"What?"

When Su Qishan heard this, he was completely surprised, and then said: "Director Liu, our factory has survived so many years, are you saying that it will no longer be able to operate anymore?"

"That's right!"

Factory Director Liu nodded and said, "The factory has been on holiday for a while. You don't know it during this time. In fact, the city has already held a meeting to study this issue."

"The theme of the meeting is relatively clear. Our factories have gradually been unable to keep up with the pace of economic development. Ningcheng City is currently optimizing the industrial structure. It is inevitable that backward factories like ours will be eliminated."

Factory Director Liu continued: "With losses for so many years, coupled with the many scandals that have occurred, the city's patience has come to an end. Maybe after the year, they will gradually file for bankruptcy and start closing factories."

In fact, there are currently many large state-owned factories in China.

In the last century, it was very popular, but with the development of the economy and the rigidity of the state-owned enterprise mechanism, it gradually began to decline.

To give a very simple example, basically all of the large state-owned steel plants in China are losing money. You will lose money for every piece of steel you produce. This is also related to the current sluggish economic environment. .

However, even if you lose money, you cannot stop production, because each of these large factories has tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of workers. What will happen to these workers if they stop working? Too many layoffs will cause serious social problems, so it is The state has been subsidizing.

This is actually the situation at Ningcheng Machinery Factory where Su Qishan works. The government has been providing subsidies. Maybe the government's patience has run out now.

If a factory occupies so much land, it doesn't matter if it can't produce any benefits, and it has to pay a lot of money every year. It would be strange if the government suffers.

Moreover, all the workers in the Ningcheng Machinery Factory who have the skills and connections have basically left. Currently, there are about one or two thousand workers left in the factory.

The number of people is not very large, and if the factory is closed, these people will be within control.

Su Qishan had countless thoughts in his mind, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. He said, "Do all the workers in the factory know about this?"

"I don't even know. I don't dare to say it at all. Let's first let everyone have a good New Year before we talk."

Director Liu continued: "Old Su, I came to you today for this very reason."

"You have been in the factory for so many years, and you still have a good mass base and good popularity. After the new year starts, you will find time to announce this."

Factory Director Liu said: "I'm afraid that the workers will be too excited by then, so you may need to cooperate with the factory to avoid vicious incidents."

After hearing this, Su Qishan finally understood why Factory Director Liu came to the door. It turned out that he came for this purpose. However, he did not express his position immediately. Instead, he said: "How does the city decide on the placement of workers?"

"A resettlement fee will be distributed to each person to be used for everyone's re-employment. As for the resettlement issue, in fact, after the factory closed down, we were all laid-off workers. How could we be resettled?" Factory Director Liu said.

"But what's the use of just giving a sum of money? Everyone has no job and no source of livelihood?" Su Qishan said.

Factory Director Liu was also helpless: "There's nothing I can do about it. I've tried to make the resettlement fee as large as possible. In fact, there are difficulties in listing, so we can only deal with it this way."
