My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 78 Rent Office Buildings
Sunday, October 10nd, today is the triplets' two-year-old birthday.

On last year's birthday, Xu's mother thought that the triplets were too lucky and should be suppressed. In addition, Xiaobao happened to be hospitalized again, so she did not hold a catch-up banquet.

Make up for it this year anyway.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong went to the pastry shop in Panjiayuan to order a birthday cake for the triplets.

When Xu Dong explained his intention, the waiter of the pastry shop apologized: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, we are out of cream right now, so we can't make cream cakes for the time being."

Whether it is animal cream or vegetable cream, there is a big shortage on the market now. Since the beginning of last month, all cream products have been stopped in pastry shops.

"Is there a birthday cake without cream?" Xu Dong asked again.

It doesn't matter whether the birthday cake has cream or no cream, the key is the sense of ceremony.

"Yes, we can also make egg cakes and chiffon cakes here."

The waiter was afraid that Xu Dong would not understand, so he took out his mobile phone and pulled out a few pictures of the finished product.

Xu Dong glanced at it, pointed at a cake and said, "Just choose this one, how much is it?"

"Okay, Mr. Xu, this is a chiffon cake, how many inches do you need?"

"Five or six people eat, what size do you need?" Xu Dong thought about it and asked.

The waiter immediately replied: "I recommend that you choose an eight-inch one, which is just right for four to six people."

"Okay, just choose the eight-inch one, how much is it?"

"The price of an eight-inch cake is 4000 yuan."

Xu Dong nodded: "It's still the old rules, two Fuxing cigarettes, you can mix the extras with other snacks. When will I come over to pick up the cake?"

After more than two months of continuous increase, the price of Fuxing Cigarettes has risen from the original 250 yuan per pack to the current 320 three yuan.

An increase of nearly three percent.

Xu Dong himself never thought that the cigarette market in the capital would be so hot.

"It can be after 12 noon. You are our old customer, and we will give priority to fulfilling your order."

"Then I'll come back in the afternoon, please!" Xu Dong said politely.

After ordering the birthday cake, Xu Dong went to the store area and the stall area to shop around, and bought a total of five chickens, three pounds of spare ribs, two pounds of tofu, ten pounds of fresh mushrooms, and finally some dried seafood.

arrive home.

Yang Lina hugged Xiaobao and immediately asked, "Have you ordered the cake yet?"

As a mother, she would hate to see her child suffer a little bit of grievance, not to mention that this is the first birthday of the triplets, so it can't be overemphasized.

"Once ordered, go pick it up after lunch. I'll handle errands, you can rest assured."

After speaking, Xu Dong entered the kitchen with two bags in both hands.

"cluck...cluck..."

Xu's mother was very happy when she heard the chickens crowing. After this period of accumulation, the number of air-dried chickens at home finally exceeded [-].

Of course, Xu Dong spent about 400,000 yuan to buy the chicken, and it is estimated that this is his last chance.

After New Year's Day, the food supply will be fully tightened. By then, let alone chickens, even people will learn to starve.

"Have you bought chicken?"

Xu Dong shook the bag and said, "I'm lucky today, I bought five."

"Let your dad kill them all later, and save the biggest one for a chestnut roast chicken at night." Xu Ma ordered.

"Okay! Mom, I also bought three catties of spare ribs and two catties of tofu, as well as some fresh mushrooms and dried seafood, all in a bag, remember to take them out and put them in the refrigerator."

"I can't forget, Mom has a good memory!"

Xu Dong found Xu Dad here, and the father and son cooperated to kill all five chickens, and the chicken blood alone received a bowl full of the sea.

Today is the birthday of the triplets. In order to celebrate the birthdays of the three precious grandsons, Dad Xu took a rare day off.

You must know that in normal times, even on weekends, Dad Xu is always open, and his work enthusiasm is more than a hundred times stronger than that of Xu Dong.

"Dad, has the warehouse been rented yet?"

Dad Xu began to pour boiling water into the basin, ready to pluck the chicken feathers, "It's rented, but not a warehouse, it's an office building, on the fifteenth floor of Jin Chang'an Building."

"Office building? How do you remember renting an office building?" Xu Dong asked with a frown.

In his impression, although the rent of office buildings is not as expensive as that of shops, it is not cheap either.

"Of course it's because it's cheap."

Dad Xu explained with a smile: "There are a lot of vacant office buildings now, and the prices are really cheap. After I asked Ma Jun, we still felt that renting the office buildings was more cost-effective, and the warehouse conditions were a little worse."

"How much area did you rent? How much is the rent?" Xu Dong asked.

Dad Xu put down the electric kettle and replied: "The total is 463 square meters, and the monthly rent is 10,000 taels, which is 2000 yuan more expensive than our store."

When Xu Dong rented the original supermarket, the rent was 20,000 yuan per month.

Later, because the business was not good, the landlord not only waived the rent for two months, but also voluntarily reduced the rent by half, on the condition that the lease be renewed for at least one year.

Xu Dong calculated the time for the housing reform, and then renewed the lease with the other party for one year.

"So cheap?" Xu Dong asked in surprise.

It seems that not only did the prices of office buildings not increase due to inflation, but they also fell a lot. It can be seen that the current economic environment is indeed too sluggish.

"No matter how cheap the price is, it's better than not being able to rent it out. There is a saying that if you don't lose money, you make money!"

"It makes sense, so how many years did you sign a contract?"

"Three years, rent is paid once a year, no deposit."

Hearing this, Xu Dong finally felt relieved, not just paying in one go.

And the price is so cheap, even if it is a loss, it will be a loss of tens of thousands of dollars at most. With the economic strength of the old Xu family, there is no pressure at all.

Xu Dong licked a handful of chicken feathers, and then asked, "When will you move in?"

"After the National Day, the office building is mainly responsible for maintenance and warehousing, and sales are still on the storefront."

There is still a week before the National Day, so the time is very generous.

"Dad, did you take the opportunity to get yourself a general manager's office?" Xu Dong joked with a smile.

Dad Xu waved his hand, "your dad, I don't do those stupid things. It's good to have an independent office, but I can't see the employees. I'm always worried."

"What's wrong?" Xu Dong wondered.

Is it because you are afraid that the employees will be lazy?This is too sloppy!
"You don't understand! Our company is still small, and I, the leader, should not feel alienated from my subordinates.

We should be one with them, come from the masses, go to the masses, and the most important thing in running a company is not to forget the original intention. "

Dad Xu's words made Xu Dong stunned for a while, and he didn't know where he came from.

These words seem to be fine on the surface, but in fact they are empty words and clichés. If they are really used in reality, it is guaranteed that Mao will not use them.

Xu Dong, as a former laborer, has worked for more than 30 years in his past and present lives.

These 30 years have taught him a truth, don't talk about ideals and future with migrant workers, but talk about salary is the most realistic and most popular.
