My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 488 Huge Advertisement
The action above was very fast, as if it had been "premeditated". Only two hours had passed, and the propaganda offensive outside was already overwhelming.

Along the way, huge posters were hung on the exterior walls of many buildings, and the contents of the posters were all related to the Asia-Pacific Treaty without exception.

One of them is very representative.

The content of the poster is fourteen palms clasped together, and there is a line of explanatory text below:
"Unbreakable Alliance!"

After arriving at the company, Xu Dong was immediately invited into the conference room.

"Clap clap clap..."

The employees applauded heartily.

Xu Dong waved his hand and joked with a smile:
"Don't be ridiculous, no matter how good you shoot, I won't give you a salary increase."

Mr. Cai looked embarrassed: "Old Xu, what you said doesn't count, we have fixed the salary increase."

"Oh, so you all want to go to Hancheng?"

Xu Dong was a little surprised.

"Three times the salary, I don't think anyone will refuse."

Especially in the current economic depression, it is too difficult to find a high-paying job.

"Okay, it's not urgent, let's have a meeting first."

President Cai personally handed over a document.

"This is the list of supplies. Fortunately, we bought it early. I just heard some rumors. Many merchants are waiting and watching. Maybe there will be another wave of price increases."

Xu Dong took over the document: "The price increase is inevitable. I even suspect that the reason why the Asia Mutual Treaty was signed so quickly is to solve the problem of overcapacity."

"It makes sense. Generally, factories have thousands of workers. If so many factories close down, it will be fine. No matter how hard the higher authorities try, they will not be able to solve the unemployment problem of so many people."

President Cai agreed.

Xu Dong glanced at the documents roughly, and found that there were mainly some decoration and building materials, as well as hundreds of thousands of pieces of various furniture and household items.

In order to purchase these materials, a total of 300 more than [-] million yuan was spent.

Currently there is 7 million left in the company account.

"Is there anything else missing?"

"It's enough for the time being. With this batch of supplies, we can open the low-cost apartments and fill up the rest slowly."

President Cai replied.

There is not much money left in the company's account, and it will last for a month or two, especially the labor expenses, which are a bit stressful.

Xu Dong closed the document and nodded in satisfaction:
"How's the engineering team going?"

"There are three companies currently negotiating. I thought it would take several months, so don't worry too much. Now it seems that it will not work. It must be determined in these two days."

"Which three companies did you talk about?"

"Let Director Lu report this. She is the main person in charge and knows better than me."

Xu Dong looked at Director Lu.

Director Lu turned on the projector.

"boss……"

Xu Dong waved his hand: "I told you earlier, you don't need to be so polite when you call me Lao Xu or Brother Dong in the company."

He himself has a public office and does not want to give people facts.

"Cough, old Xu, these three construction companies are Yanjing Eighth Construction, Liaozhou Construction Engineering Group and Chia Tai Group. Among them, the first two are state-owned enterprises, and the latter one is a private enterprise.

Among the three, Chia Tai Group had the lowest quotation, only 730 million yuan, and the construction period was the shortest, with the project completed in [-] days.

The other two quotations are similar, one is 850 million and the other is 8 million. Both of them promise to complete the project within one month. "

"Did they have other requests?"

If it's that simple, it's impossible for Director Lu to delay until today without making a decision.

"That's right, CP Group requires a [-]% advance payment, and also needs our help to solve the problem of food for the workers. It is difficult for them to apply for the large-scale export of grain.

Yanjing Eighth Construction asked us to prepay [-]% of the project cost in advance. The original request was for the entire project cost. After a long time with them, they were willing to reduce it by [-]%.

As for Liaozhou Construction Engineering, they only ask for a [-]% advance payment, but they hope that we can help solve the employment problem of some employees' family members. "

Xu Dong frowned, sure enough, no one was easy to get along with, it was all troublesome things!

"Is there no other choice?"

Director Lu smiled wryly and said: "Very few, construction companies with the qualification to go abroad are scarce, and our side is only a small project, many companies are unwilling to accept it, for fear of accidents."

"Mr. Cai, what's your opinion?"

"I suggest choosing Yanjing No. [-] Construction. Comparatively speaking, they have the least trouble."

Xu Dong had a headache: "What if they deliberately delay the construction period? Or ask for a temporary increase in the project budget? After all, we are a private company, and it would be too disadvantageous to file a lawsuit with them."

In fact, what I was most afraid of was delaying the construction period.

Sometimes one step at a time, one step at a time!

"I agree with Lao Xu."

Director Lu quickly agreed.

"Then we can only choose Liaozhou Construction Engineering. It just so happens that the company will expand its enrollment in the future. At most, we will give them [-] places." Mr. Cai said helplessly.

Xu Dong asked Director Lu: "Are these places enough?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. I listen to the other party's opinion. At least fifty starts."

"They're pushing the envelope."

Mr. Cai said angrily.

Fifty employees accounted for almost one-fifth of the total number of employees. If these people were grouped together, how would they manage the company?

More importantly, the company has long decided that grassroots positions are basically recruited locally, and they cannot afford three times the high wages.

Xu Dong sighed and said: "Chia Tai Group will not consider it for the time being, let's choose Yanjing No. [-] Construction, Mr. Cai, you will go to visit tomorrow in person and try to overwhelm the advance payment by [-]%.

If it really doesn't work, it's probably 50,000% or 500,000%. By the way, add a reward clause, and reward them with [-] yuan for completing the work one day earlier, with a cap of [-]. "

"Yes, I will go tomorrow."

President Cai immediately agreed.

At this time, Vice President Yu tried to ask:

"Old Xu, when shall we leave for Hancheng?"

This is the most concerned issue of the field personnel.

Xu Dong thought for a while and replied: "Well, the company will send a three-person working group to find out the current situation in Hancheng. If conditions permit, we will start shipping materials immediately."

"Old Xu, I want to go there in person and leave tomorrow."

Vice President Yu volunteered.

"That's fine." Xu Dong nodded, "However, you guys will leave one day later. Last time, Minister Li wrote a letter to my dad. This time, we have to respond to a letter because of emotion and reason."

This letter was not written casually, and I had to find someone to review it after writing, so as not to cause any misunderstandings.

"No problem, then we will leave the day after tomorrow."

"You go to Manager Ji tomorrow to apply for a box of bread as a subsidy for your business trip, and I will call him."

Xu Dong was not taken advantage of, the main reason was that he needed to take some small risks on this business trip. People from the Southern Dynasties were notoriously proud of themselves. The signing of the Mutual Asia Treaty might touch some people's sensitive nerves.

"Okay, let you spend the money!"

Vice President Yu said happily.

The big boss is as generous as ever!

President Cai and Director Lu are also full of envy.

Next, or before the old problem, how to solve the power supply.

"Old Xu, what about the electricity problem?"

"Buy a few diesel generators to deal with it first, and wait for Hancheng to start the reconstruction work, and then come to think of a solution. This matter is not something we can solve by ourselves."

"That's all."

……

Time passed quickly, and when Xu Dong inadvertently looked out the window, he realized that it was getting dark.

He stretched involuntarily.

"It's getting late, let's be here today!"

Mr. Cai glanced at the phone:
"Old Xu, it's not yet seven o'clock, we can stay for another hour."

Building a low-cost apartment from scratch, and on such a large scale, there are too many things involved, and it cannot be discussed in a day or two.

Xu Dong shook his head: "The meeting is endless, if you don't go back, the family will call to remind you! Okay, everyone get off work, today is considered overtime and double salary."

"Thank you brother."

"Boss atmosphere!"

"By the way, Vice President Yu, just wait."

Xu Dong patted his head, almost forgot to explain something.

"Old Xu, what's the matter?"

"Go to an advertising company tomorrow and ask them to design a huge rental advertisement, the kind that hangs on the wall."

"How big is it?"

"Let's make it ten meters by ten meters. When you arrive at Renchuan Port the day after tomorrow, buy an advertising space and hang it up. Everyone who enters the port can see it."

He was suddenly inspired by the huge posters he saw in the morning.

"It's so big? I'm afraid it's too late in one day?" Vice President Yu complained.

"If it doesn't work, just put it together with a white cloth, and then write with paint. Anyway, it's not raining now, so I'm not afraid of fading."

Xu Dong directly suggested.

"I've made a note, and there is another question, how long will the advertising space be rented for?"

"Let's rent it for a year first!"

A year later, even if the low-cost apartment is not full, it will at least be well-known, and it doesn't matter whether it is advertised or not.

Vice President Yu specially found a sticky note and wrote down the big boss's requirements one by one.

"When traveling on business, you must pay attention to safety!"

Xu Dong finally reminded.

"I will."

After leaving the company, Xu Dong arrived home within ten minutes.

"Dad is back, grandma, dinner is ready..."

Dabao yelled loudly.

The little guy is already hungry.

Xu Dong went to the bathroom to wash his face first, and then patted the dust on his body. The turn of winter and summer is the season of high incidence of sandstorms.

"Is the meeting over?" Dad Xu asked casually.

"It's over, everything is arranged."

"When will it be over?"

"The day after tomorrow." Xu Dong took the water glass from Lele's hand, "Dad, didn't Minister Li from the Southern Dynasty wrote you a letter with his own handwriting, should we reply too?"

"That's the reason, but I don't know what to write?" Father Xu said distressedly.

"It's okay, there are so many people in the company, just find a good pen to help you write, and then ask Mayor He for advice, it's almost enough."

"Do you want to show Mayor He?"

Dad Xu was puzzled.

"Well, the identity of the person is there, we'd better be more cautious, just send an email, there is no need to make a special trip."

"Well, when do you want the letter?"

"There is no rush, just leave it to me before tomorrow night."

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
