Chapter 440: Buy It Directly

Li Xiuhai must understand this truth, but he can't think so much at this stage.

Besides, from a practical point of view, it is better to have a last burst of light for a while than to linger on with a dying breath.

Even if the factory goes bankrupt in the end, at least it will not be any worse for the workers in the factory.

Even if Li Xiuhai is not the factory director, anyone else will be willing to rent the factory to Zhou Yan.

The only difference is that if someone else becomes the factory director, not only will he collect rent from Zhou Yan, but the workers in the factory will also be laid off in advance, so that the factory can last longer.

If the electronics factory really lays off a large number of people, Zhou Yan may not rent these buildings. After all, in that case, strong medicine will not work.

After the matter was settled, Li Xiuhai was in a good mood. He leaned on the sofa holding the tea Zhou Yan poured for him and said, "Teacher Zhou, what are you going to do after renting these buildings? Will it be the same business as before?"

"The film studio is going to set up a new department. It was originally planned to work in Building No. 3. Since we are going to rent those three buildings now, let the new department move into these buildings. In addition, the music studio will expand its scale."

Zhou Yan not only plans to move the TV drama department to the new building, but also the music engineering department to the new building, leaving the current building empty and completely reserved for the piano youth orchestra.

The orchestra is getting bigger and bigger now, and more and more places are needed. The folk music band does not have a dedicated rehearsal venue now, and can only eat the leftovers of the orchestra.

Li Xiuhai sighed, "The scale of your studio is getting bigger and bigger, and the key is that you have good benefits."

"The benefits are okay, barely enough to maintain it." Zhou Yan said modestly.

Li Xiuhai smiled. He heard that Zhou Yan's studio has an annual revenue of tens of millions.

When Li Xuhai heard the rumor, he was also shocked, because in Li Xuhai's opinion, Zhou Yan's studio didn't have many people, the cost was very low, and with so much revenue, the profit must be very high.

Their electronics factory has so many people, but now the annual revenue is not so much. The key is that the cost of their electronics factory is very high, and they are in deficit every year.

Why do state-owned enterprises have to reform now? Isn't it because the efficiency is not good and the factory can't afford the welfare of so many people?

The rumor that Li Xuhai heard was not false at all. Zhou Yan's studio must have a revenue of tens of millions a year.

Of course, the revenue of the studio mainly comes from himself.

If his own income is removed, the profit of the studio is very small at the end of the year.

However, the situation is getting better and better. The Piano Youth Orchestra used to lose money, but this year it has achieved a profit. Although it is not much, it has been able to achieve a virtuous cycle.

For Zhou Yan, he is very satisfied that the orchestra can not lose money.

When he created this orchestra, he did not think about making money.

The mission of the orchestra is not to make money, but to promote his music. Without the Piano Youth Orchestra, how could Zhou Yan have so many tours?

It is far less convenient to find other orchestras than to support one's own orchestra, and the effect is not as good as one's own orchestra.

The level of the Piano Youth Orchestra may not be as good as many other orchestras, but when it comes to playing Zhou Yan's music, no other orchestra can compare with them.

In addition, the music engineering department has performed very well this year, and the department's income is increasing every month.

After drinking a sip of tea, Li Xiuhai sighed, "I don't know if I can still see it when your new department is ready."

Hearing this, Zhou Yan said in surprise, "Director Li, are you going to adjust your job?"

Li Xiuhai nodded, "Well, I will go to Huainan at the beginning of next year, and I can spend another year in Yanjing."

"Is it so far?"

"Well, it is quite far. If nothing unexpected happens, I will move my family."

Leaving Yanjing and going to a small city like Huainan, this job transfer is not very good.

However, judging from Li Xiuhai's expression, he did not seem to be depressed by the transfer, and even felt a little relieved.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It seems that this is a promotion?"

"It can't be said that you are not paying attention, so you should not know that the Huai Mining Bureau is planning to restructure. If nothing unexpected happens, the plan will be determined next year and implemented the year after. The Huai Mining Bureau has been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Coal Mines for nearly ten years, but the Ministry of Coal Mines plans to be abolished, so the Huai Mining Bureau will also be transferred to the jurisdiction of the provincial government and complete the restructuring at the same time. I used to be a chemistry major, and going to Huai Mining is also a professional counterpart, and there are many places where I can display my talents."

Li Xiuhai was also in a good mood, so he talked more with Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan also understood that Li Xiuhai's going to Huai Mining just happened to catch up with the restructuring, and he estimated that there would be many opportunities.

Moreover, Li Xiuhai is from Yanjing, and his position is guaranteed when he goes to Huai Mining.

The key mining industry is stable, and there will be no pressure in the short term.

"There will be a time to ride the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean. Then I wish you a long-lasting career, Director Li." Zhou Yan smiled.

"Thank you."

In fact, the news revealed by Li Xiuhai also made Zhou Yan determined that the electronics factory would not last long.

However, Zhou Yan also had to find a chance to find out if the higher-ups had any other plans for the electronics factory.

Don't let him get too excited now. If the higher-ups come up with a targeted plan and assign the factory to other units, he will be left with nothing.

So after Li Xiuhai left, Zhou Yan called Huo Siqi.

First, he called the landline number of Qizhi Company. They said that Huo Siqi was not there. Zhou Yan then called Huo Siqi's mobile phone and then contacted Huo Siqi.

Huo Siqi was quite noisy over there. After answering the phone, he asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"Brother Siqi, it's me, Zhou Yan."

Huo Siqi smiled and said, "Third brother, why did you call me?"

"Are you busy over there? Isn't it convenient for us to chat for a while now?"

"Nothing inconvenient."

Huo Siqi was talking over there, and the noisy voice gradually disappeared, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Two things. The first one is that my TV drama department is about to be established. You can feel free and bold to look for TV dramas."

"Didn't I tell you this? I don't know much about the film and television industry, so I just trust your vision. I'll rely more on you to choose scripts in the future. Otherwise, Qizhi will only provide the money in the future. Leave everything else to your studio.”

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "This won't work. Qizhi still needs to open a film and television company. We have to work on both sides, otherwise it will violate our original intention of setting up the company."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but you have to worry more about the establishment of the film and television company."

"That's no problem, after all, I am also a shareholder."

"This is the first thing. What is the other thing?" Huo Siqi asked.

"It's like this. Isn't my studio here at the electronics factory now? Their factory director came to my office just now. We chatted for a while. From what he revealed, their factory probably won't last long."

"This is normal. Many factories are in bad shape right now, and it's not just one of them. What do you think?"

"I want to take down the electronics factory."

"Put it down..." Huo Siqi pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone, "It's not a big problem, but I want to remind you that it's okay to order it, but you have to be willing to spend money, and you can't just think about it with nothing."

"This is natural. I won't lose a penny of the money you should pay."

Huo Siqi smiled and said, "That's right. Brothers are not short of money now, so we can't do this kind of thing to give people an excuse. If you are willing to give money, this matter will be easy to handle. Don't wait for the electronics factory." It went bankrupt, haven’t you already rented two buildings? Let’s just switch to renting and buying them.”

"Is this possible? No resistance?"

"If you were last year, no, even in the first half of the year, it wouldn't work. But now the situation has changed a bit. Now in this limelight, it's not a big problem. There will be major policies introduced next year, and privatization will intensify. By then, you have to have money to put electronics into the market." It’s easiest if the factory purchases it directly.”

Zhou Yan must believe what Huo Siqi said.

He originally called Huo Siqi to ask Huo Siqi to help him keep an eye on it. He didn't have any other plans at the electronics factory, but he didn't expect Huo Siqi to do it for him in one step.

If that's the case, he's already starting to build his musical base.

"If you say so, I know what to do."

"It's just an electronics factory, so you need to be more courageous. We don't do things by taking advantage of others. To be honest, if you could spend the money to buy the electronics factory now, you would really help the country solve its troubles."

"I can't really buy an electronics factory. There are so many workers and it's hard for me to arrange it."

The problem with electronics factories lies in their people. It doesn’t cost much to acquire an electronics factory. But after the electronics factory is acquired, what should the workers in the factory do? Are they dismissed directly?

Zhou Yan is not a philanthropist, but he still spends money to support these workers.

If the electronics factory is acquired and the people are laid off, wouldn't he be the one to bear the infamy?

The best thing would be for the electronics factory to close down immediately, and wait until everyone is dismissed before he takes action.

Huo Siqi smiled and said, "You also need to know more about your family's industry. Didn't your family open an electronics factory in Yanjing? Optimize the workers in this electronics factory and move some of them to your electronics factory. , Wouldn’t everyone be happy? Or, simply let your second brother come forward and buy this electronics factory, and then move some people there and lay off only a few people. Wouldn’t this solve the problem? "

Zhou Yan knew that his family had property in Yanjing. When he was filming "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", Zhou Hong went to Yanjing for this matter.

But he really didn't know what industry it was. He didn't expect that there was an electronics factory.

This surprised Zhou Yan. It stands to reason that the Zhou family has developed so well in Pengcheng. Pengcheng must be the first choice to open an electronics factory. Why do they have to go so far to Yanjing to open a factory?

As for Huo Siqi's proposal, he felt that it might not be reliable.

Even if the Zhou family has an electronics factory in Yanjing, how big is its scale? Are workers needed at this stage?

It can't be said that their factory doesn't want workers. He has to send people there. Doesn't that mean he pays for the workers himself?

"My second brother is also very busy, so I'd better not bother him with this matter."

"Okay, that's what I'm telling you. Anyway, it's not a big problem if you want this factory. I'm not in Yanjing now. I'll ask you about it when I get back."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Siqi. When you come back, I'll treat you to a drink."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

…

After talking to Huo Siqi, Zhou Yan did not rush to take action. Instead, he first started renting the buildings he had negotiated with Li Xiuhai. As for the resale, he planned to wait for further news from Huo Siqi before doing so.

As for Huo Siqi's proposal, Zhou Yan didn't consider it again.

But two days later, Zhou Hong called.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Hong said, "I heard that you want to take over the electronics factory?"

As soon as he heard Zhou Hong's words, Zhou Yan rolled his eyes. He didn't expect Huo Siqi to be so loud, so he turned around and told his brother about it.

Now that Zhou Hong took the initiative to call and ask, Zhou Yan did not hide anything and nodded, "Yes, I have this idea. I am planning to wait until the factory closes down and the workers are dismissed before I take action."

"How long will it take? And if no one takes over the factory, how can we promote the demobilization of workers? We have no way of knowing whether there will be changes in the process. What if another factory comes along and wants to acquire the electronics factory? ? Is it possible not to let them sell it?”

Zhou Yan nodded secretly, of course what Zhou Hong said made sense.

"I think..."

Before Zhou Yan could finish speaking, Zhou Hong said, "Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it. Just think about the expansion of the studio, and plan any renovations in advance."

"Actually, I don't have to have this factory. Yanjing is such a big place. It's not impossible to find another place, and the cost may be much lower."

"Yenjing is indeed big, but there are not many places as good as now. Your current place is very close to the Yanjing Film Institute and the Yanjing Studio, and not far from your academy. If you move to other places, there will be no It’s so convenient. And you’ve already paid a lot there. If you move out, wouldn’t a lot of the things you invested in be wasted?”

Zhou Hong's words made Zhou Yan unable to refute. If possible, of course he still wanted to stay here.

He has also inspected other places, but they are not as good as here.

"Don't think too much about it. It's not troublesome for us to acquire an electronics factory. I can also arrange for those workers. Not only can you get the factory, but you won't be stigmatized for layoffs. Wait for my news."

After saying that, Zhou Hong hung up the phone.

Hearing the beeping busy tone from the phone, Zhou Yan sighed slightly. He really didn't want to trouble his family with this matter. It wasn't that he was angry, but he just didn't think it was necessary.
