My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 470 Power Problems
"Minister, if that's the case, why should we join in?"

The director expressed his puzzlement. Since being in a group can't make their lives better, it's better to maintain the status quo. At least their current standard of living has far exceeded that of most people.

"No big picture at all!"

Minister Li couldn't help but sighed.

"In the past few years, we can still live by selling rags. When the rags are sold out, the good times will come to an end. There is no food. How can we hold on?"

As the saying goes, there are still three thousand nails in a bad ship.

But no matter how rich the family background is, they can't resist only going out but not going in. It won't take long for them to walk into a dead end and have to save themselves.

Sitting and eating is not a long-term solution.

Going out is the only way out.

Of course, the director is also aware of the current predicament, but he just ignores it subconsciously. Most of the time, people only focus on the present and rarely have long-term plans.

He is very satisfied if he can survive until retirement safely.

His approach is very popular in the Southern Dynasties, even Minister Li is no exception, except for the minister's wife, other relatives are not around.

Letting go has become the truest portrayal of their group of people. After all, in the current environment, from top to bottom, everyone is very confused about the future and can only take one step at a time.

"Minister, it's still your vision."

The director said sincerely.

Minister Li lit a cigar: "Director, listen to me. Given the current situation, we must follow the trend and not sail against the current. Only in this way can we find a way out."

"I understand."

"Okay, let me remind you one last time, the replacement work in Guanyue District must be completed as soon as possible, without leaving any hidden dangers."

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed."

……

In a blink of an eye, it's Saturday, February 2th.

Xu Dong finally took the time to come to Jinchangan Building. After the Quick 8 Hotel was acquired, he simply moved the company here under Dad Xu's suggestion.

"Old Xu, you are finally here. The company has accumulated a lot of things in the past two days, and you need to make a decision in person. There is also a recruitment matter, and you also need to conduct an interview."

Mr. Cai and others have been busy with the preparatory work of the low-cost apartment since they came back from the Southern Dynasties.

Although Xu Dong gave the other party a lot of autonomy, some important matters, especially those involving capital transactions, required him to nod and agree.

"Isn't my dad here? It's the same when you look for him." Xu Dong wondered.

"Hey, Mr. Xu is busier than us. He is usually at the bakery, and we don't meet each other at all. He called and said that you are in charge of everything in the company."

President Cai smiled wryly.

Xu Dong rubbed his chin. The bakery is undergoing a second round of major expansion. No wonder Dad has no time. Compared with the major events of the bakery, the Kuai 8 Hotel is really not worth distracting.

"Okay, there's no need to rush the recruitment. It's enough to recruit a few helpers for the time being. After the renovation of Hancheng University is completed, we will start large-scale recruitment."

A low-cost apartment with tens of thousands of beds requires a large number of employees.

Although the most grassroots employees can be recruited locally, it is more appropriate for the main management to be held by locals, so that it is not easy to be overshadowed.

"Old Xu, there is no need to rush the recruitment, but you must participate in the design plan of the apartment. We really can't make up our minds about some plans."

Mr. Cai quickly explained.

"Really? The preliminary design plan is out?"

Xu Dong followed the other party into a small conference room.

"It came out yesterday. It is already equivalent to a large-scale living community. It is very suitable for low-cost apartments and does not need much renovation."

"Okay, you call all the people here, let's have a closed-door meeting today, and try to finalize the reconstruction plan."

"That's exactly what I mean, just wait a moment, I'll call other people to come over." Mr. Cai quickly agreed.

Xu Dong waved his hand, letting the other party do as he pleases.

In less than 10 minutes, the small conference room was full of people. There were nine management members in the original Fast 8 Hotel, and there were exactly ten people including Xu Dong.

Before the meeting started, Mr. Cai first introduced Xu Dong to everyone. This was the first time everyone met the big boss behind him.

Xu Dong said a few inspiring words symbolically. The conclusion is that the company has a bright future, and everyone should work hard. Everyone here is a veteran of the company, and the company will not treat those who work hard.

"Clap clap clap..."

Regardless of whether it was sincere or false, the applause was very enthusiastic, and everyone seemed to be full of energy.

Immediately afterwards, the meeting began.

Mr. Cai prepared PPT and schematic diagrams in advance, so that Xu Dong's eyes would not be dimmed.

The first big problem is water and electricity supply.

Xu Dong frowned and said, "Isn't there a power plant in downtown Hancheng?"

"No, but there are near the port, only [-] kilometers away from the urban area, which belongs to the non-combat zone, and the infrastructure is relatively complete."

"It's still a little sensible!"

"It is estimated that there is no way. If there is no continuous blood transfusion from the port, the two sides will not be able to support today."

Xu Dong nodded, and then ordered: "Since there is electricity in Renchuan Port, it's enough to take a line there. It doesn't mean we have to build a power plant ourselves, right?"

"Old Xu, in fact, the investment in the power plant is not as high as imagined, and the profit is very considerable." Mr. Cai tried to persuade him.

"Stop it." Xu Dong directly refused, "It's not like the power plant will be fine once it's built, and it also involves coal burning and power transmission, so we can't intervene."

He himself works for an electric power company, and the water here is very deep. Given his family's background, he didn't dare to set foot in it lightly.

President Cai was a little disappointed.

"But, let's apply? People may not agree? And the cost of the [-]-kilometer line must be indispensable."

Xu Dong waved his hand: "It's not urgent, we'll talk about it after they cease fighting, and then someone will help us solve these problems."

"We can only wait for the situation to change."

Soon it was noon, Xu Dong called his father and got a box of bread from the company cafeteria.

It's the first time I come to the company, I have to think about it, and it can be regarded as winning people's hearts.

"Everyone take whatever you want, don't be shy!"

"thank you boss!"

The employees are very happy, it seems that the big boss is very nice, and everyone is full of confidence in the future.

"Don't call me boss, I'm from the same generation as you, you can call me Lao Xu, or Brother Dong."

"Brother!"

The young people shouted one after another.

Some older employees are no exception. Life is forced, and there is no shame in flattering the boss.
