From bankruptcy to rebirth, with many efforts, a zombie enterprise that has been shut down for 5 years has been reborn
Abandoned factory roars again
Reading tips
Just as Yan Jialing did not expect that she would eventually become an investor, Yang Jian did not think that she would return to the factory building in the ravine after 5 years. When the abandoned factory buildings again roared with machinery, many villagers returned to the factory and became workers. Those workers who had left the factory then returned.
On the afternoon of July 1, a tool truck loaded with goods was driven into Tushan Village, Xiayang Town, Yongchun County, Quanzhou, Fujian Province. Villager Tu Jianzhi sat on a wooden low stool at the door of his house and told the Worker Daily reporter: "It must be Our factory in the ravine ditched another'big guy'."
For several months, every day, such a large and small tool car drove into the village. In the memory of Tu Jianzhi, I saw that so many tool cars in the village were built by Fuyuan Zinc Industry more than ten years ago. Factory. He told reporters that at that time, this enterprise was the “money bag” of the village. Nearly 100 villagers in Tushan Village worked in the only zinc ingot production enterprise in the province, and each person earned an average of 3,000 a month 10 years ago. Multiple. Later, due to poor management of the enterprise and the collapse of international zinc prices, the factory was forced to suspend production in early 2015, and the workers left, but the creditors came to the door. Since then, Tu Jianzhi no longer sees tool carts full of thousands of kilograms of zinc ingots in this ravine, and villagers in the original factory have switched to work odd jobs and started farm work.
After the Spring Festival, Tu Jianzhi heard from the village cadres that the factory bankruptcy and reorganization finally came to fruition. He found that many villagers returned to the factory and became workers, and those tool carts came back!
Reformed, difficult and "magic"
Since seeing Yan Jialing, her cell phone has not stopped. On the one hand, there are special staff in the local town every three or five days. She is busy sorting out the remaining problems that need to be coordinated by the local government; on the other hand, she has 40 or 50 workers scattered in various functional workshops. Coordinate with various departments at any time to solve the problems in plant repair and machine maintenance installation.
This situation has lasted almost since she signed up as an investor in Fuyuan Zinc's reorganization in July last year. "Originally I was a creditor, but now I have become an investor." Yan Jialing said with a smile that the experience of participating in bankruptcy reorganization can be described as "magic".
Since 2007, Yan Jialing has a supply relationship with Fuyuan Zinc Industry. Her enterprise is responsible for rough ore sorting, while Fuyuan Zinc Industry is responsible for ore smelting and purification. When the factory shut down in 2015, Fuyuan Zinc Industry owed more than 10 million yuan of debt to Yan Jialing. In addition to the debts in Yan Jialing's hands, Fuyuan Zinc also has 27.17 million yuan of priority debts including employee wages, taxes, and bank guarantees that need to be paid off.
Seeing the announcement of bankruptcy and reorganization, Yan Jialing originally signed up with a "try it" mentality. According to her recall, there were a total of three prospective investors who signed up at the time, but she was the only one left when the deposit was paid. In order not to let the deposit float, she was "pushed" to participate in the whole process of bankruptcy reorganization.
The process of reorganization is not the same as she imagined. Due to the lack of vascular maintenance in the factory area after the production shutdown, there are hidden safety hazards in many workshops and warehouses. A large number of equipment was rusted and damaged due to rain, and some people said with a smile: "Yan Jialing bought a pile of scrap copper and iron."
In addition, due to the fact that there are as many as 423 creditors, and the relationship of creditor's rights is complex, the reorganization of Fuyuan Zinc Industry was at a deadlock.
In order to revitalize this zombie factory and promote industrial transformation, Fujian Yongchun County established a working group with the deputy county head as the team leader. Xiayang Town selected more than 10 staff who are skilled in investment promotion and judicial work to form a special class, the government and the court, etc. Multi-sectoral establishment of a joint meeting system to jointly promote the reorganization of things. On the basis of collecting and collating Fuyuan original documents and materials through multiple channels, and publicly hiring audit and evaluation agencies to objectively restore Fuyuan Zinc’s assets, liabilities and financial conditions, they customized a set of traditional announcement recruitment for Fuyuan Zinc The reorganization method combined with the online auction of equity to solve the remaining problems caused by the long-term vacancy of the factory area. The new version of the reorganization plan was implemented under the full supervision of the court and won the trust and support of creditors.
Right now, there is only one way left for Yan Jialing-to restart Fuyuan Zinc Industry.
Return, hurt and happy
Just like Yan Jialing did not expect that she would eventually become an investor, Yang Jian did not think that she would return to the factory building in this ravine after 5 years.
On March 16, Yan Jialing, who had no ore smelting production experience at all, found the phone of Yang Jian, the former chief engineer of Fuyuan Zinc Industry, from the salary distribution form in the hands of bankruptcy administrators.
At that time, due to the epidemic situation, Yang Jian was still at his hometown in Xiangtan, Hunan. After receiving the call, he wrote a letter to Yan Jialing overnight and proposed three conditions for returning to the factory for resumption: quality measurement and cost and profit calculation should be timely and accurate ; Do not engage in family business, all management systems must be implemented in place; to protect workers' production rights and interests, pay attention to workers' labor efficiency.
Yang Jian told reporters that as a chief engineer in 2007, he participated in the design and plant construction of Fuyuan Zinc's wet smelting production process. When he resigned in 2012, he left a sentence: "I am willing to give up the plant I built by myself."
In Yang Jian's view, the factory in this ravine is close to the mine source and adjacent to the port. The downstream industries of zinc processing in the surrounding area have a unique advantage. The biggest cause of bankruptcy before is the poor management.
After receiving the autograph, Yan Jialing immediately agreed to all the requests. With her strong invitation, Yang Jian drove all the way from Xiangtan to Yongchun. Along with him were dozens of Hunan workers who had left the factory that year.
The roof tiles of the plant were lifted, the anode and cathode plates were corroded, and the steel structure workshop became a dangerous building... Facing the abandoned plant in front of him, Yang Jian didn't have the time to be sentimental, so he took the workers to start a huge restoration project.
Reorganizing the mixing system, installing intelligent automatic pots, buying electrolysis robots... Behind the five-year production shutdown is the continuous updating iteration of production equipment, Yang Jian has calculated an account, and restarting Fuyuan Zinc needs 200 million yuan in flow funds.
In order to speed up the reorganization process, with the support of the local government’s multi-faceted investment promotion, Yan Jialing received financial support from Taiwanese partners, and each piece of "big guy" costing ten million yuan was then transported into Tushan Village and operated in the workshop. Got up.
Yang Jian sighed: "The process of rebirth is destined to be difficult, but painful and happy!"
Restart, starting with the worker
Also returning to Fuyuan Zinc Industry is villager Tu Xusheng.
"What does it mean for you to restart the factory?"
"It means the happiness you can see!"
Tu Xusheng, who was busy repairing the motor in the workshop, responded to the reporter's question and gave an answer in his voice, his eyes full of energy.
He told reporters that there are 4 people in the old factory dormitory, and workers in the new factory can enjoy suites for 2 people; the old factory has been working for half a day in exchange for sweat and a face, the greening in the new factory has been started, and the automation equipment has been installed. There was less sweat, and the gray on my face was gone...
As far as Tu Xusheng is concerned, the days when the factory closed down are the days of drifting. In 5 years, he worked odd jobs to make money. Now that the factory has restarted, he can make money in the workshop 1 km away from home.
According to Zhang Yannian, secretary of the Party Committee of Xiayang Town, with the promotion of the county and township governments, the reborn Fuyuan Zinc Industry is expected to be fully restarted at the end of the year. It is expected that the annual production capacity will exceed 40,000 tons, which will create nearly 300 local jobs post.
"The workers came back and there was life in the factory." Yan Jialing said: "With the roar of the rumbling machine in the ravine, I am confident that more workers will come back to this desperate situation. Reborn factory."
