Chapter 217 The Current Status of Trading Companies
Weng Suyi, who recently took office as the mayor of Biyun Township, is very happy because Biyun Township has achieved such excellent results.
First, there's GDP. The total has already exceeded 90 million. With four months left until the end of the year, it would be too easy to increase it by another 10 million.
Secondly, fiscal revenue is also very high, approaching 90 million, and will definitely exceed 90 million by the end of the year.
At that time, she, as the township head, will deliver the best results in the entire Handong area.
She will also become a rising political star in Handong because of this achievement.
Weng Suyi did not take the county-wide promotion of vegetable planting and crayfish farming seriously.
Biyun Township was the first in Yunmeng County to engage in vegetable cultivation and crayfish farming, and it has achieved remarkable results.
Even if we do nothing, these two tasks are still number one in the county.
Moreover, next year, she will take over as the Party Secretary of Biyun Township and become a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee.
At that time, even Qi Tongwei, the deputy county head, will be inferior to her.
Therefore, when Qi Tongwei convened the agricultural work meeting, Weng Suyi did not attend the meeting; instead, she sent Zhu Xinqin, the deputy township head in charge of agriculture, to the meeting.
Moreover, Zhu Xinqin told her after she returned that Qi Tongwei did not ask her why she did not attend the meeting.
In other words, Qi Tongwei also knew that he couldn't offend her.
"Huang Zaiming, what's going on with the trading company? Didn't we tell you to hand over 1000 million yuan?"
Why hasn't it been handed over yet?
A few days ago, she asked the trading company to hand over 1000 million yuan, but several days have passed and the township finance department has not received the money.
So, Weng Suyi dialed the phone number of Huang Zaiming, the chairman and manager of the trading company.
After their new party and government leadership took office, they replaced all the leaders of the trading company.
In addition, all the original sales staff of the trading company were dismissed.
Their wages are too high; the township government previously gave them too much commission.
In the past, when trading companies were first established, they were given very high commissions in order to develop rapidly.
In less than a year, each of them earned more than 100,000 yuan, and many people have already complained.
If this continues, the lower-level cadres may quit.
To prevent this from happening, the township dismissed all of the trading company's original sales staff.
"Mayor Weng, the trading company isn't doing well right now and can't come up with the money!"
Huang Zaiming said helplessly.
He was very happy when the township appointed him as the chairman and manager of the trading company.
After all, the trading company was incredibly profitable, earning 1.25 million in less than a year.
This is a remarkable large enterprise in Jingzhou.
However, the actual situation was not as good as Huang Zaiming had imagined.
The trading company's performance has been very poor in the past few months, and its only remaining funds were handed over to the township government in July.
The trading company is now unable to even pay the normal construction costs for its office building and warehouse that are under construction.
The staff of the current trading company has basically been replaced.
After the high commission rates were eliminated, sales quickly dropped.
Because of low wages and no commission, sales staff don't work hard to sell products.
"Is the trading company not doing well? Is it running out of money?"
How can it be!
The trading company is doing poorly and has no money. Where did the 8500 million yuan they previously paid come from?
Weng Suyi simply didn't believe it. She knew how much money the trading company made; it was Biyun Township's money-printing machine.
If the village is short of money, just ask them for it.
Qi Tongwei relied on trading companies to accomplish so much in the past.
"Mayor Weng, the trading company did make a lot of money in the first half of the year, but that's because there was no competition with us, so the profits were very high."
The situation is different now. There are more than a dozen companies in Jingzhou doing the same thing as us, and their profits have decreased significantly.
Another issue is that the sales staff are new and not yet familiar with the business, so sales haven't picked up yet.
Huang Zaiming said that the situation has changed, and it is no longer the era when there was no competition and profits were higher.
Another issue is that the sales staff are not yet familiar with the process.
There's one more thing he didn't mention: the sales staff didn't sell the products properly.
"Huang Zaiming, these are not excuses!"
The township government assigned you to this position so that you could manage the trading company and make money for the township.
I'll give you another half month. After half a month, you must hand over 1000 million yuan to the township.
Otherwise, you can get out!
Weng Suyi said seriously that if Huang Zaiming fails to complete the task, he will have to get out of here.
If he doesn't do it, plenty of others will.
Trading companies are not private companies, but government-owned enterprises, and those who work there are considered state cadres.
Especially Huang Zaiming's position, which is that of a deputy section chief.
Although it may not seem important to Weng Suyi, it is highly valued by the cadres in Biyun Township.
After all, no lower-level cadres were promoted during the recent reshuffle in Biyun Township.
Those cadres who were originally promoted have also been transferred.
Weng Suyi believes that as long as the opportunities are given to the lower-level cadres, they will definitely work hard and do a good job in the trading company.
Moreover, trading companies are not difficult to manage; Xiao Fan and Liu Haiyang manage them very well, don't they?
They were all promoted from lower-level cadres.
"I'll try my best!"
Huang Zaiming said that he now regrets it.
I should never have become the chairman and manager of the trading company. It seemed like a cushy job, but it turned out to be a trap.
A slight misstep can lead to a lot of trouble.
The exorbitant profits of the past are gone; instead, there are competitors everywhere.
Meanwhile, the villagers were envious of the sales staff's high wages and restricted their wages.
Under the old model, even with fierce competition, salespeople would still work hard to sell products.
After all, they get a commission when the products are sold.
But not anymore. Anyway, whether they sell a lot or a little doesn't really matter to them, since they don't get a commission.
Not just try your best, but absolutely must!
"Huang Zaiming, if you can't handle this, tell me sooner rather than later, and the township will arrange for someone to replace you immediately!"
Weng Suyi shouted angrily, "Who did Mei Hongjie find? They're completely unreliable!"
After hanging up the phone, Weng Suyi went to Mei Hongjie's office and explained what had just happened.
"Secretary Mei, the township is about to achieve its GDP target of 100 million yuan and become a 100 million yuan township, but Yi Company is sabotaging it at this time."
What do you suggest we do?
Weng Suyi had just threatened Huang Zaiming, but she wouldn't dare to make such a decision lightly if it came to getting rid of him.
Huang Zaiming was, after all, Mei Hongjie's man, and Mei Hongjie was from the province and was a man of Liang Qunfeng, the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee. He couldn't afford to offend him easily.
"Mayor Weng, I'll call Huang Zaiming and tell him to cooperate with your work!"
Mei Hongjie said that he took the position of Party Secretary of Biyun Township because he wanted credit for the township's success in becoming a billion-yuan village.
At the same time, they suppressed Qi Tongwei and prevented him from achieving anything.
Otherwise, why would they leave the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission and come to the townships of Yantai City?
It's no longer possible to suppress Qi Tongwei or prevent him from achieving results; he must keep the credit for the billion-yuan township project.
"Yes, Secretary Mei!"
After speaking, Weng Suyi left.
"Huang Zaiming, what's wrong with you?"
"Why are you making excuses and delaying the tasks assigned to you by Township Head Weng?"
After Weng Suyi left, Mei Hongjie called Huang Zaiming.
