The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

The first Monday after handover.

Monday was originally the daily meeting time. A production meeting was held in the morning to sort out the production status of the previous week and then decide on the work for this week.

Before the meeting was over, the union had already counted all the letters in the mailbox, and the report was handed over while the leaders were in the large conference room on the first floor.

“When the houses were not delivered, everyone was sitting on the Diaoyutai, but now that they see others taking advantage of the situation, they are getting anxious~!”

Two letters were randomly selected, both about the handover of houses in Hongxing Community. One was inquiring about the delivery time of the remaining buildings in the first phase.

Another one was about the concern for the second phase of the factory's construction and when they could start fundraising. The full content of the letter was to say that the second phase of houses should be put up for "pre-sale" as soon as possible and "open for sale" as soon as possible, as they couldn't wait any longer.

"What does this prove? It proves that the factory workers are more enthusiastic about the second phase of the family housing project. I feel novel when I see such beautiful houses!"

Chief Engineer Shen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, spit out the tea leaves, and then began waving the hand that was holding the teacup lid.

It’s not like any of the middle-level cadres present here have ever been to a leader’s home. It can be said that this kind of house is only afforded to leading cadres.

The Red Star Factory took the lead in improving the living conditions of its employees, raising them to such a level that those who had raised funds earlier were able to move in first. Those who were holding on to their money and waiting would be anxious.

In this era, there are many people who are thinking about saving money, and they hold the money they have saved with great difficulty through frugality.

Some people are reluctant to spend it, some people cannot spend it, and without tickets, they go to the black market to buy it at a high price, and they are so heartbroken that they can't sleep at night.

The successful fundraising of the first phase of the project was inseparable from the sand table made by the woodworking workshop, which allowed some people to take out their savings.

Now those who were the first to try new things live in high-rise buildings, and the employees who have money in their hands are watching them with envy. They can only blame themselves for not being brave enough in the first place. If they want to move into the new houses too, they have to wait another year.

"It's much better than the staff quarters in the factory. You haven't seen it. Now, people cook in the staff quarters by setting up stoves in the corridors. They use public washrooms and public toilets. There are so many families on one floor that people have to queue up to use the toilet in the morning!"

Liu Guangqi put the cap on his pen and explained the difference between the two residential buildings, and everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.

Liu Haizhong is in charge of the factory’s family compound. Since the handover of the houses until now, Liu Guangqi often hears him describe the rather chaotic order in the factory’s family compound during dinner, which also gives him a headache.

Whether it is a house in the staff quarters or a house in the factory, in the final analysis, spending money and raising funds is equivalent to buying a house of your own, and you are not at a loss.

"Not only do you have to wait, but in winter, your butt will be frozen and uncomfortable~!"

The cadres present have all participated in the fund-raising. Those who paid early have already moved in over the weekend, while those who paid late will have to wait for a month or so. Anyway, they can all move into their new homes before the New Year. Seeing these statistics, many workers who are concerned about the second phase of fund-raising could not help but shake their heads.

They have more sources of information than grassroots workers, receive better wages and benefits, and have more money on hand. They don't have to compete with employees for housing, only to be criticized later.

"Okay, some workers have a hard time at home. No matter how talented I am, I still have to make the cake. Only when others have tasted it, will they think of following suit~!"

Others can complain, but Li Feng can't. As he said, it's difficult for workers too. Some have many mouths to feed at home, and the money is really saved by the teeth. After all, fundraising is a large amount of money, so it's not wrong to be careful and save.

What if you pay the money but can’t get the house? That’s money you’ve saved up for many years, so it’s normal to worry.

"Since the workers have taken the initiative to ask and sent so many letters, it proves that they are very eager. Then our leadership must come up with a reply quickly to appease the employees who have not had time to raise funds. At least production should not be affected. Let all the employees of our factory live a promising life. This is what all of us cadres should do~!"

When workers report problems, cadres and leaders must solve them. This is the purpose of Li Feng setting up the union mailbox, and it is not for people to see. Through the mailbox, problems can be reported in a timely manner, and cadres can solve them in a timely manner, so that he can sit in this position safely.

"Here in the Finance Department, Chief Accountant Fan, please get your team to calculate the second phase construction budget and work overtime. It would be even better if we can start collecting money by the end of the year. You can work a little harder so that the workers can spend the New Year with peace of mind~!"

"As for the Materials Department, be ready to connect with the Finance Department at any time and make preparations for the second phase of fundraising. Once they have processed it, you should be able to issue invoices at any time and have the workers go to the Finance Department to pay. Don't let the situation of two people raising funds for one room occur again if the room number sales control work is not done well~!"

"For the maintenance department, coordinate with the project department on site to keep abreast of the progress of the remaining buildings in Phase I. If it doesn't work, extend the time given by the project department by a few days and post a notice at the gate~!"

Li Feng assigned the tasks one by one. In the conference room, because of this extra topic, the sound of pens rubbing against paper could be heard again.

Chief Engineer Shen was calm and composed. After the production meeting, he felt completely relaxed. Red Star Community was a project that Li Feng was in charge of. It had nothing to do with him and he didn't need to supervise the implementation of the work. At this moment, he was the most relaxed.

"Oh, that's right~!"

As if he had thought of something, Li Feng added something after solving the workers' problem.

"The second phase of housing delivery has begun. Our family quarters have been named Red Star Community. The community director has been appointed by the street office. Considering that most of the residents are employees of our factory, management also requires our factory to contribute~!"

"Director Jiao, I have talked to Comrade Liu Haizhong from your workshop. He is a seventh-level worker and has prestige among the workers. He also has experience in the management of the family compound and is willing to obey the organization's arrangements~!"

Upon hearing what Li Feng said, Director Jiao from the forging workshop quickly closed the cap of his pen and glanced at Liu Guangqi from the security department. Since Secretary Li said so, the meaning was very clear.

"No problem. The workshop agrees to let him go. It won't affect production. But, Chief Liu, your father has gone to the neighborhood community. Our workshop has lost a good teacher~!"

The fancy sedan is carried by everyone. Lao Liu is considered a veteran in the forging workshop and has trained many apprentices. Director Jiao knows his character very well. How could he not agree to manage people?

Facing Director Jiao's gaze, Liu Guangqi gave a bitter smile. He knew about this, but he couldn't stop it. His father had already set his sights on the position of deputy director, and even ten oxen couldn't pull him back.

He has moved out now. Once his father's salary is reduced, the ones who will suffer are Guangfu and Guangtian, the two unlucky brothers.

The key point is that his father is still thinking about raising funds for a house in the second phase, preferably on the most expensive first floor.

"Okay, let's do this for now. The meeting is adjourned. Principal Jiang, come with me~!"

Jiang Xianda, who was originally preparing to go back to the driving school, suddenly had a black question mark on his face when he heard Li Feng's name.

Only Guo Dapiezi put the notebook on his waist, patted Principal Jiang on the shoulder with a weird look, which made Jiang Xianda's hair stand on end.

After careful recollection, he didn't do anything out of line recently. At most, he violated the rules and accepted some students from other provinces, but that was still for the purpose of making more profits.

In the second half of the year, the driving school will have to cut costs quickly again as the second phase of family housing will be built, and the things for the year-end evaluation and awards will all have to be purchased at the driving school's expense.

The Red Star Factory could have built such a big business thanks to his great networking skills as the principal and his ability to attract students from everywhere. Through that group of college students who learned to drive for free, the factory started to "advertise" in universities like a virus.

Returning to the office upstairs, Li Feng turned on the electric fan and looked back at the old section chief who followed him in, with an indescribable look on his face.

"My Principal Jiang, you really know how to give me difficult questions. What's going on with Qin Huairu in Workshop 1? What's going on with the machine repair factory? What's going on with you and Director Liu of the machine repair factory?" (End of this chapter)
