Chapter 361 Everyone Shouts for Beating

Several major media outlets intensively reported on the chaotic price war in the machine tool industry. This situation did not attract much attention at first. After all, machine tools are only a niche industry, and companies such as Xiayi Machine Tool, Qingbei Machine Tool, and Qianyan No. 1 Machine Tool are all large enterprises. For the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises, the competition between them is simply a fight between gods and gods. No longer relevant.

But as the reports gradually deepened, and the commentators' articles became more and more sharp, some sensitive people finally realized that the wind was going in the wrong direction and began to become nervous.

"Lao Li, have you read this article? I think it has something to say."

In a teahouse in Ruigang, Ye Yongfa, chairman of Xinta Mold Company, said to his old friend Li Yongfu, chairman of Fumei Kitchen Products Company. What he held in his hand was a central-level newspaper, which contained an article about the Xia Yi machine tool price war incident.

"This should be something that Gao Jinsheng did." Li Yongfu said with a bit of schadenfreude, "This bastard used to cause trouble in Ruigang, and everyone was afraid of him. Now he has brought it to the head of the country, directly He was named in the newspaper, I'll see how he ends up."

Ye Yongfa shook his head and said: "Old Li, you didn't see the problem. In the past few days, I have been paying attention to the newspaper articles, and I feel that something is wrong. If this matter continues to develop, I am afraid that Gao Jinsheng will not be the only one. Human affairs will be blamed on us."

"Involving us? How is this possible?" Li Yongfu was startled, sat upright, stared at Ye Yongfa, and asked in shock.

Ye Yongfa said: "A few days ago, the newspapers just said that Xia Yiji ignored the overall situation, blindly engaged in price wars, and disrupted the market. Later, it was said that behind Xia Yiji was the Jinsheng Group, and it was also mentioned that this Jinsheng Group is our Private enterprises in Jingnan.”

"So what, we have more private enterprises in Jinnan. Don't the provincial leaders still say that our Jinnan is the vanguard of reform and opening up and is at the forefront of the country's private economic development?" Li Yongfu said.

"That's the problem." Ye Yongfa said, "Today's article is very explicit. This commentator said that the private economy in Jingnan can develop so well, and it cannot do without national policies. Open support from all over the country. The state supports the development of the private economy in Jinnan in the hope that the private economy in Jinnan can become a boost to the country and become a horse in China's Troika.

"But the various actions of Jinsheng Group make people have to raise a question: after the development of Jingnan's private economy, will it feed back the entire country, or will it backfire on the entire country."

"Backlash?" Li Yongfu didn't understand the word at first.

"It means to bite back." Ye Yongfa explained.

"Bite back, how is this possible..." Li Yongfu said halfway, his face suddenly turned pale: "Mr. Ye, what does it mean when the newspaper said this?"

Ye Yongfa said with a dark face: "What else could it mean? Think about it, Gao Jinsheng acquired Xia Yiji, and then engaged in a price war, driving the old state-owned factories such as Qingji and Qianyiji to bankruptcy. How can the country go bankrupt?" Don’t have any ideas? Gao Jinsheng can afford the price war because of the money he earns in Jingnan.

"People's newspapers are now asking this question, why are your private enterprises in Jinnan so good? Is it because the state allows you to make too much money?

"Let me read you this passage from the newspaper: ... If the private economy in Jinnan, which has been developed with the support of national policies, not only fails to serve the overall situation of national economic development, but instead becomes an obstacle to national economic development, then this kind of Is there a deviation in the policy?”

"Fuck! Fuck, Fuck! I rely on his father Gao Jinsheng, I rely on his Gao Jinming!"

Li Yongfu used several bad words in a row. It seemed that he could not vent his inner anger without swearing like this.

"Mr. Ye, this is obviously Gao Jinsheng's own suicide. How come we are all here in Jinnan? According to the meaning of the newspaper, it means that the policy given to us by the country in Jinnan is too good, and we want the country to take it back. No?" Li Yongfu asked.

"That's what I mean." Ye Yongfa said, "Do you know why I'm nervous now?"

"Mr. Ye, it's impossible for the country to withdraw its policies, right?" Li Yongfu said timidly, "It's no different now than it was a few years ago. Hasn't the country been talking about pursuing a market economy? And the year before last, we also joined the WTO, and the newspapers said The policy in the future will definitely become more and more open, and it will be impossible to take it back.”

Ye Yongfa sneered: "When did the country say that it would withdraw its policy? But if we Jinnan people commit suicide and make the country unhappy, the superiors should close some loopholes, such as imposing foreign trade restrictions and restricting raw materials. , will you feel uncomfortable if you limit your electricity use?"

"But this way, the country will collect less taxes." Li Yongfu was still making his final struggle. He actually didn't want to argue with Ye Yongfa, but wanted to find some comfort for himself.

Ye Yongfa said: "Do you think China only has one province, Jinnan? Can the country give some good policies to Mingxi? Can it give some good policies to Xiahai? The effect of the policy will be very different depending on whom it is tilted slightly. To put it simply, the highway that our province is planning to build needs approval from the National Development and Reform Commission. As long as the National Development and Reform Commission delays it for us for a year or two, think about how much your company will lose."

Li Yongfu was dumbfounded.

His company makes kitchen supplies. Now the competition in this industry has reached a fierce level. In addition to product design, quality, price, advertising, etc., logistics speed is also the key to the success or failure of the company. Nowadays, highways are being built everywhere, and several are planned in Jingnan, one of which passes through Ruigang.

Li Yongfu has evaluated that if this highway is built, his company's product transportation time can be shortened by two days, which will be of great help to him in competing for foreign markets. On the other hand, if this highway is delayed in being completed and his competitors have the convenience of transportation, he will be at an extremely disadvantageous position in the competition.

So, will it be difficult for the National Development and Reform Commission to delay the application for a highway for one or two years?

The answer is of course no.

Except for highways, the situation is the same everywhere. Electricity, communications, bank loans, etc. are all held by the state. If the state really feels that the private entrepreneurs in Jinnan are not of the same mind as the state and intends to suppress the arrogance of private enterprises in Jinnan, it would be too easy to manipulate these places. And this means that everyone's jobs will be destroyed.

"Gao Jinsheng, that bastard! I will fight with him until death!"

After understanding this section, Li Yongfu almost had the urge to chop off Gao Jinsheng with a 50-meter sword. Of course, he just thought about this kind of thing in his mind and would never dare to put it into practice.

"This article is a message to people like us." Ye Yongfa patted the newspaper gently with his hand and said to Li Yongfu.

"What are you shouting?" Li Yongfu didn't understand.

"Let's take sides. Either we stand with Gao Jinsheng, or we stand against Gao Jinsheng."

"Then there is no need to choose. We must be on the opposite side of him. But, Mr. Ye, did the newspaper say how we should take sides?"

"The newspaper didn't say it clearly, but the meaning is very clear. That is, we private enterprises cannot wait and see in silence at this juncture, we must publicly stand up and express our stance." Ye Yongfa said, "I can see that the country is building momentum in the newspaper this time , not just for Gao Jinsheng, but to beat all of us and make us be more honest and not imitate Gao Jinsheng."

"So that's it." Li Yongfu nodded and said with a look of sudden realization: "I'm also surprised. If the country wants to deal with Gao Jinsheng, there is no need to mobilize troops like this. Just say hello to the Ruigang Municipal Government. Just sending someone from the industrial and commercial, taxation, firefighting, sanitation, etc. departments here is enough to make the entire Jinsheng Group worse than dead. Why do you have to say so much in the newspaper?

"We have been making trouble for a long time, but these words are meant for us. In fact, when did I, Lao Li, dare to go against the country? I am a farmer. At the very beginning, I was detained by the police for four or five years because I was regarded as a speculator. That time, I lost my courage a long time ago. Even if someone lends me the courage now, I wouldn’t dare to do such a thing."

Ye Yongfa said: "This is not necessarily true. When Gao Jinming was working in a factory earlier, he was also arrested. I guess Gao Jinsheng might have gone to prison to deliver meals to his father. Do you think he could not remember these things? But later, as his company grew bigger and he became rich, he became bolder.”

"Gao Jinming can't control him now." Li Yongfu said, "No one in Ruigang can advise him now."

"Then don't persuade me." Ye Yongfa said, "Let's just do our own thing."

"How to do it?"

“We have to invite some people to issue a joint statement saying that we private enterprises will always stand with the country, safeguard the interests of the country, and support the development of the country. Anyone who hinders the overall development of the country is the enemy of our Ruigang entrepreneurs. "Ye Yongfa said.

"But in this case, we will offend Gao Jinsheng to death." Li Yongfu said.

"so what?"

"This guy is a dog. He will bite whoever he catches. Mr. Ye, your company is big and he can't do anything to you. If a small company like mine offends him, it will be very troublesome in the future."

"Don't worry, the superiors will definitely not let him go this time. This mad dog will definitely turn into a drowned dog. You, Lao Li, are not even afraid of a drowned dog, are you?" Ye Yongfa said easily.

"Haha, that's not the case. If it's a drowned dog, then everyone will definitely shout and beat him up. I have to buy a stronger stick first."

Li Yongfu laughed loudly. He seemed to have seen Gao Jinsheng's unlucky appearance, which made him very happy.
