That bowl of "popular stuffed skin" should not be a memory.
Shareholders' disputes closed down for half a year? The public is worried that this half-century-old snack bar may fade out of the list of "old brands"
The once brilliant popular snack bar is now closed.
Because of the dispute between shareholders, the well-known "Volkswagen" among Lanzhou citizens has been closed for half a year. Long-delayed disputes may lead to the disappearance of this flavor snack that has existed in Lanzhou for half a century from one of the few "time-honored" enterprises. People can't help asking, what happened to this old shop?
"Where did the popular snack bar move?"
"I have to answer several people the same question every day. How do I know? " When I mentioned why this popular snack bar was closed, the merchants next to it answered impatiently. He told reporters that since the public snack bar closed in September, several merchants around 20 1 1 have to answer the same questions from customers almost every day.
On March 19, the reporter went to a popular snack bar at the entrance of Tianhou Palace on Zhangye Road Pedestrian Street. Looking through the window of the locked snack bar, the plaque of "money" on the wall was covered with dust, and the chopsticks tube filled with sanitary chopsticks was placed on the dusty indoor table. There are several washbasins scattered on the ground, silently telling the loneliness of people going to the house.
As for why it closed, the person in charge of another merchant said: I heard that it was because shareholders disagreed, which made the operation unsustainable: "Lanzhou's famous snacks are among the best. If there is any contradiction, we can't let such a good brand go away. "
Not only that, on the Internet, "Where did the popular snack bar move?" Doubts are everywhere. Some netizens left a message: I recently walked through Zhangye Road and found that Volkswagen Nianpi was closed. I can't tell you what it feels like. This shop has been open since my parents were young, for at least forty or fifty years. I don't know why it is closed. Like an old acquaintance who left forever. What a pity! I hope the old brand will be old forever!
Disputes between 23 shareholders
It is understood that Lanzhou Volkswagen Snack Department is a joint-stock cooperative enterprise established by the original Lanzhou catering service company Zhangye Road Catering Store Volkswagen Snack Department. Approved by Lanzhou No.2 Commercial Bureau and Lanzhou Finance Bureau with 1998, the total share capital is 320,000 yuan, which is quantified to each employee in the name of qualification shares and seniority shares, and 23 employees become shareholders of the restructured enterprise.
The dispute began on May, 2065438 1 14, when Volkswagen Snacks was re-elected at the fifth general meeting of shareholders, because some shareholders were dissatisfied with the current executive director during his tenure. At this meeting, 12 shareholders voted to elect the executive director and supervisor, and then a situation of two factions of shareholders was formed.
According to insiders, some shareholders pointed the finger at the four-point behavior of the executive director, thinking that he had never presided over the shareholders' meeting during his seven years in office, which led some shareholders to know nothing about the business plan, investment plan and profitability of the snack bar in recent years and did not enjoy the due profit dividend; The registered trademark of "Volkswagen Gaodan" which should belong to the enterprise belongs to the personal name of the executive director; Arranging relatives to work in snack bars without the consent of the shareholders' meeting; Without going through any formalities, he took the qualified shares of 1 1 shareholders reflected in the book as his own.
However, some shareholders think that the EGM was convened by the supervisor without notifying all shareholders in advance, and some shareholders who participated in the EGM expressed untrue wishes. They think that the election resolution produced by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting is invalid and put it into legal channels. After the civil judgment of Chengguan District Court and Lanzhou Intermediate People's Court, the election resolution was revoked.
In fact, the dispute between the two sides has not subsided because of the court's decision, but has become more and more deadlocked, bringing the operation to a complete standstill. It is understood that since the election of new executive directors and supervisors at the fifth general meeting of shareholders, the new executive directors and supervisors have taken over the daily management of Lanzhou Dazhong snack bar and continued to operate normally. Until 20th11September14th, Lanzhou Intermediate People's Court made a final judgment, ruling to revoke the resolution of the fifth shareholders' meeting election and upheld the original judgment. According to this judgment, the executive director of the snack bar locked the door of the snack bar on September 22, on the grounds that the lease of the pavement had expired. At this point, Lanzhou Dazhong snack bar closed down.
The Articles of Association were not amended in 14.
Facing the problems existing in snack bars, Huang Xiuping, the supervisor of snack bars who advocated the removal of the executive director in this dispute, attributed the reasons to the imperfect enterprise system, the lack of supervision mechanism and the weak consciousness of shareholders to safeguard their own rights and interests. "Most of the 23 shareholders have only junior high school education, and they are not very clear about modern enterprise management and shareholders' rights and obligations, which directly leads to excessive power of the executive director. In the past seven years, as a shareholder, at least I didn't get the dividend I deserved, so in May of 20 1 1, I called shareholders to hold a general election. " Huang Xiuping pointed out that the reason why she proposed to re-elect the executive director was that she was worried that only six of the 23 corporate shareholders, including the executive director, were currently working, and most of them would retire in the next five years. If the articles of association of the enterprise are not amended in the general election, the enterprise will become a private enterprise with the retirement of all employees. The executive director has arranged for two relatives to enter the enterprise one after another and put the registered trademark in his name.
There is no clear evidence to confirm Huang Xiuping's statement, but it can be seen from the articles of association of Lanzhou Volkswagen Snack Department provided by him that the articles of association were established in 1998 and have never been revised during the operation of 14 years. Huang Xiuping himself admitted that the contents of the articles of association were originally copied from the articles of association of other state-owned enterprises in Lanzhou at that time, and were not applicable to the development of snack departments. As for why the company was still named as a "snack bar" at the beginning of its establishment, Huang Xiuping said that it was because the registered capital at the beginning of the reorganization could not meet the requirements for establishing a joint-stock company, and no one put forward this requirement in the following years.
"After the court decided to cancel the resolution of the fifth shareholders' meeting, we published a statement in the newspaper at the end of 201February, hoping that 23 shareholders could sit down calmly, solve the problem clearly and open the facade as soon as possible. But in the end, 1 1 shareholders were absent. "At the end of the interview, Huang Xiuping said that in addition to legal channels, he hoped that an objective and fair third party would intervene to mediate the dispute, otherwise the problem would be difficult to solve, and when to open the door would be in the foreseeable future.
Later, the reporter contacted and interviewed the former executive director of the snack bar by telephone, but he refused several times on the grounds of business trip.
For the dispute of the mass snack bar, Huang Xiuping pinned his hopes on the government departments. Subsequently, the reporter interviewed the provincial and municipal commercial departments. The relevant person in charge of the commercial department of Lanzhou City said that after the restructuring of 1998, the snack bar has become an independent and self-financing joint-stock enterprise, and as a government department, it has no right to interfere in its daily business affairs. While recognizing this statement, the relevant person in charge of the Food and Beverage Service Department of the Provincial Department of Commerce said that he was aware of the controversy in the mass snack bar. However, since the incident is still in the stage of legal proceedings, it is not easy to ask questions. However, if the dispute between the two parties leads to the closure of this time-honored enterprise, the business department will intervene in the investigation.
The once glory of "high burden on the masses"
Nan Xueliang, an old employee who is one of the shareholders of the snack bar, is deeply saddened by the problems in the popular snack bar: "This store has been an advanced unit of Lanzhou Catering Service Company before the restructuring. Contradictions between shareholders can be resolved through litigation. Don't let the hard-created brand disappear like this. "
Nan Xueliang, 65, recalled the booming business of snack bars. He told reporters that this popular snack bar, which started in the 1950s, has always been a famous snack bar in Lanzhou, especially a plate of stuffed skin and a meat pie with a high load, which is the signboard of this store. "When I 1965 took part in the work, the popular snack bar was in the west of Jincheng Theater. At that time, that place was also called Beijing Shopping Mall. The snack bar is a door panel room, and the tables and stools are made of wood. " Nan Xueliang still remembers that the Wang suit shop, Lanzhou photo studio, Lanzhou shoes and hats shop and Lida western restaurant opposite the snack bar are also doing brisk business.
"Before the official opening at 9: 30 in the morning, people were already waiting in line with rice bowls and lunch boxes. There was a long queue before the peppers were fried. After the ticket sales stopped at 5: 30 pm, it took half an hour to catch the stuffed skin plate by plate for the customers with tickets. " Although he has retired for five years, Nan Xueliang remembers his female colleagues who put four or five plates of skin seasoning on their left arm when they are busy. "At that time, all state-owned catering enterprises were required to participate in the night market and set up stalls in front of the door, selling them from 7: 00 pm to 10 pm, selling twists and candy cakes." Gao, another employee, said that the patties sold in the snack bar are still skills learned from Ann, and now the pie with the size of big pie is also improved from the original big pie.
"Although there are many facades selling all kinds of stuffed skins in Lanzhou, this popular snack bar has always inherited the ancient rules and practices of making stuffed skins. In particular, it is a dead rule to make five plates of stuffed skin with a catty of flour and a catty and a half of water. Seasoning is also made of sesame paste, red pepper, salt and vinegar, which requires the seasoning to be sticky. After the customer has finished eating, there should be no remaining seasoning on the plate, and all seasoning should be stuck to the stuffing skin. Today, Nan Xueliang recalls that in the late 1970s, snack bars began to sell stuffed skins at a high load. The price of a plate was 90 cents for two food stamps, while the price of stuffed skins before closing was 3.5 yuan per plate.
