Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 119 is to give you money!

There is no doubt that the housing prices in Shanghai are cheap now.

Especially after Cao Yukun made a trip to Hongkong and even learned about the housing prices there, he felt that the rebirth novels he read in his previous life were not wrong.

To be honest, for most ordinary people, if you are reborn, all you need to do is buy a house.

The capital and the Magic City are the two places you can choose from. Throw all your money into buying houses, and pick the good, big, expensive, and scarce ones - this is really the safest thing that ordinary people can do!

If you sold them in 09 or 10, the premium would have been dozens or even hundreds of times!
If you can hold out until 16 or 17, the premium will surely be over times - in today's Shanghai, the cheapest old single-family houses covering more than one acre of land can be as cheap as yuan. They are all good houses in the core area of ​​the old city. Twenty years later, if you say they are worth million yuan, they should be easy to sell, right?
If the best situation comes, it can even easily exceed 100 million!
Of course, Cao Yukun wanted to buy a batch of such old houses, but he really didn’t expect their prices to increase in the future - for him now, the price increase is actually too small.

He has been in business before, and he knows that whether it is industry or commerce, in this age where gold is everywhere, as long as you have ideas and can work hard at it, and can achieve some results in the end, the return and input-output ratio will be incredibly high!
You can make more money by doing anything than buying a house and waiting for ten or twenty years to sell it!
The reason why he wants to take back the house now is because he actually... wants to raise Hu Zihong.

Even though there are always quarrels every time I'm with her.

Her temper would pop up from time to time, as if she couldn't live without quarreling with Cao Yukun. However, in Cao Yukun's heart, this woman gave him her first night, so, since he could see the future clearly, he certainly had the responsibility and obligation to help her plan a better route.

Her tea restaurant is certainly a very good business in this day and age. According to her own calculations, the net profit after deducting all expenses last year was more than 180,000 yuan. This year, she will have no problem making over 200,000 yuan. However, it is a waste for her to show up in public all day long just for this little bit of money.

She has been in the underworld before, so she is neither lacking in courage nor sophistication. She can use tricks and can guard against treachery - so let her tinker with the house!
Take out a few million to set up a property management company, and start by buying old villas. Give her money and time, and let her patiently renovate and polish each building one by one. Anyway, it's nothing more than finalizing the plan and supervising the construction. Even at this stage it won't hinder her from opening a restaurant - clean up a batch of houses and start renting them out. Suppose she spends five million to buy ten houses, and then invest another two to three million for her to renovate, the total cost will be eight million. She can get back one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand in rent a year, that's enough to make her worry-free.

We can even use one or two old houses to open a high-end private hotel when the time is right!
The domestic economy will become more and more prosperous, there will be more and more wealthy people, and more and more bosses will come to places like Shanghai for business exchanges and negotiations. By that time, the bosses will like this kind of old villa with its own private garden, which is exquisitely decorated.

As long as the bosses like it and feel it will be prestigious to meet guests living in the house, then the price is fine and you can decide it at your own will!
In addition, high-end business banquets and private dishes can also be handled!
In short, although in this era, being able to open a mid-range tea restaurant in Shanghai and earn more than 200,000 yuan a year like Hu Zihong is a wonderful life that many people dare not even dream of, Cao Yukun still wants to help her find a more comfortable path.

The real explosion of the catering and hotel industries did not begin until around 2000. This is directly linked to the national wealth level, but it doesn’t matter. Start practicing in advance, lay a solid foundation, lead your own team, and then after a few years, if you can get it right, you can completely cut into this track - if you can’t get it right, then you can’t get it right, the house will appreciate in value anyway!
After I briefly explained this idea to her, she actually became interested.

"You mean to say that I will be in charge of these houses from now on?"

"Yes, renovate it, rent it out, generate cash flow, and then I'll find someone to mortgage the property and business. 100% mortgage is no problem. I'll take out million to start this company. When the time comes, you can run the business while using the mortgage money to buy houses, renovate them, rent them out, continue to mortgage, and continue to buy!"

"Can you make money like this? The interest on the loan is very expensive!"

"Don't be afraid of losing money! As long as you have the house, you will never lose money! Besides, I invested money in the company, so even if it loses money, it's still mine. What are you afraid of? After you lose all the money, I can continue to invest in you, right?"

"Really? That's what you said! All the money you make belongs to me!"

"Well, if you lose, it's mine, and if you make money, it's yours!"

"Akun, you are so nice to me..."

"Nonsense! Of course I'm nice to you!"

…………

The next day, Ah Hong Tea Restaurant closed down. A sign said that the proprietress was moving and the restaurant was closed for one day.

She called all the employees in her restaurant to her newly acquired big villa. Cao Yukun also brought Tao Mingqi and Xue Chengliang with her. They were busy and lively for the whole morning and officially moved in.

The next morning, Xue Chengliang and Tao Mingqi arrived early. After Cao Yukun had breakfast, he sent Tao Mingqi back to continue to stick to his post and to handle the car transfer. He then got in his newly acquired Mercedes-Benz and headed for Fuping County.

Mercedes-Benz is great, fast and stable.

I chatted with Xue Chengliang in the car, and he said that Director Tao rented a house near the port, and currently it is mainly the two of them who live there. The staff of other companies' offices in Shanghai are all locals and college students, and the company does not provide accommodation - he said the accommodation is quite comfortable, and that Director Tao treats him very well.

When the car was about to enter Fuping County, he discussed with Cao Yukun again, saying that his family was in his hometown and could no longer stay there because they had offended a group of local bullies. It was better for him to be at home, as those people were somewhat afraid of him, but once he was not at home, those people would always come to cause trouble.

He discussed it with the old squad leader, who told him not to fight with those people over there and suggested that they move their family over, rent a house in the county town, and settle down there.

Hearing this, Cao Yukun nodded. Before he could even begin to ask for help, he said, "That's great. Let's do this! I don't know who's in your family. If your child needs to go to school, I'll find someone to help you get a student registration. If you're willing to work in the factory, you can go there. If you're not old enough or don't want to work in the factory, you can just clean the garden for me and watch the door! Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"

Xue Chengliang was a big man. He didn't say anything for a long time after hearing this. Finally, he gently agreed, "Hey! I understand, boss! Thank you!"

…………

I went back home first.

Because I knew that Cao Yuke had been sent to his hometown during the summer vacation.

At the same time, I also knew that I would be away for more than a month, and my parents, grandparents actually missed me very much - no matter how urgent the work at the factory was, we could not delay our reunion.

The body of the Mercedes-Benz is a bit wide, so you have to be careful when driving around corners when climbing the mountain, but you can still pass smoothly. Seeing Cao Yukun coming back, Cao Yuke was the first to go crazy, but he ignored the Mercedes-Benz worth millions. He was anxious about something else. "Brother, you are finally back. Second brother is too stupid. He didn't catch a single rabbit in the bamboo cage he made!"

Cao Yukun laughed out loud.

So before the family reunion lunch, Cao Yukun took Cao Yuhui, Cao Yuke and little girl Cao Yumin to make a new bamboo cage. Then he took them up the mountain and taught them how to put the cage down.

This year, Cao Yuhui took the high school entrance exam. He did well and the results are out. He was admitted to the No. 1 High School in the county, but he was not admitted through the main line. He was admitted through the secondary line. Compared with other students who were admitted through the main line, he has to pay an extra 280 yuan in training fees every year - but this is already great. Ma Zhongchitu's high school entrance exam results that year were really...

…………

The next morning, Cao Yukun got up early and drove straight to the beverage factory in his Mercedes-Benz.

As soon as this Mercedes-Benz made its debut, it shocked the entire factory.

The private enterprise in the county is quite developed, and there are many wealthy bosses known to everyone, but the two richest ones are: Song Hongxing drives an Audi and bought a Fuhao for his son Song Yuhuai, and Xie Zhaofang drives a very luxurious extended version of Cadillac. His eldest son is in his twenties and is already married, but he only drives a Santana.

Among the bosses at the county level, generally no one can reach the level of driving a Mercedes-Benz.

Absolutely the first one!
Moreover, the styling of this generation of the Hutou Benz is really domineering, almost perfectly meeting the Chinese people's psychological positioning of "large sedans". If it suddenly drove into the factory at this time, it would certainly be extremely eye-catching. The boss made money and bought a luxury car!
Then…the boss came back and fixed the problem.

"Yeah, yeah, I understand what you're talking about."

"Okay, I basically understand what you mean. I'll find a way to solve this problem right away."

"Oh, I see. Actually, I roughly understand what you said on the phone before. No problem, it's a small matter. Now that I'm back, I'll find a way to solve it for you in the next few days."

"Come on, sit down, sit down, and talk..."

It was completely different from the previous on-site office meeting that Cao Yukun held after returning from a trip to Hongkong. That time, everyone sat together, but Cao Yukun did not preach any big principles. He met with everyone one by one and directly assigned tasks, responsibilities and powers to individuals, and explained them clearly face to face.

But this time, Cao Yukun called people to his office one by one to talk.

Persuade when necessary, comfort when necessary, encourage when necessary, and make promises when necessary!
It was still one-on-one, but this time, there was no one else present.

I met more than a dozen people in one go, and listened to everyone patiently, or at least let them express their dissatisfaction, suggestions, expectations, etc....and then it was noon.

The middle-level managers in the factory gathered together in the restaurant for a meal. They were not allowed to bring alcohol during work, so they did not drink alcohol and drank water instead. With a few words from Cao Yukun, the slightly stiff atmosphere on the scene was quickly dissipated - the work intensity suddenly increased to a very high level, and the work pace suddenly became very fast, which made the entire management team, which had been comfortable for so long, quite uncomfortable. They were reluctantly mobilized, and immediately faced frictions in all places and links that quickly emerged, expanded, and intensified.

In the past, everyone just followed the routine, and the factory just barely survived. To put it bluntly, we were just in the same boat, so what kind of conflict could there be? But now, it's no longer possible!

You're telling me there's no raw material? What were you doing before? I need it in my workshop right now, and you're telling me there's no raw material? You're telling me, do we have to stop production if there's no raw material? What about the production plan? The ships at the port are all booked. Who can I blame if I can't produce it?

Damn it, pay them the money! If you don't pay them, they won't ship the goods. The workshop is waiting for raw materials! If the production is delayed and the work is stopped, who will be responsible?

If there is money in the account, I don't need you to tell me? Do you know how many goods have been shipped out recently and the payment has not been received? How powerful am I? I can make money for you!
If you can’t get the payment back, ask for it back!

The payment deadline has not come yet, do you understand? How can I ask for payment when the goods have just been shipped four days ago? The goods may not have been shipped yet in Shanghai! You should wait at least ten working days before asking for payment! I don’t need to urge them to pay after ten working days, they will call me! Why don’t you just explain it to your supplier?
Come, come, explain to him and see if he will listen! Nowadays, triangular debts are everywhere. If you don't pay, it's useless to say anything!

And so on, blah blah...

Unconsciously, contradictions accumulated, and the friction and impatience between each other increased.

And this is just a small thing...hey, there are a lot of them anyway.

To tell the truth, Cao Yukun has no immediate solution to these problems.

He has realized that the beverage factory needs a capable and decisive director to lead the team to deal with these things. However, before finding this person, he needs to calm down the incidents one by one. After several experiments, he has found the most effective way is -

"Starting from this month, you, including the workers, will get a pay raise!"

"If the factory business is good and the boss is getting rich, then everyone should get paid more!"

"Based on everyone's performance over the past month, as well as their work ability and work attitude, Assistant Huang Jiaying will be responsible for conducting an evaluation of all the cadres and workers in the factory, with the cooperation of the Human Resources Department. Starting from this month, those with strong work ability and good work attitude will receive a 30% salary increase! Those who are slightly worse or very good will receive a 20% salary increase! Even the worst ones, as long as they have not been fired, I will give them a 10% salary increase!"

"Also, this is not the final number. Before the end of the year, I will evaluate again, still based on work ability and work attitude, still 10% to 30%! After this increase, it will continue to increase!"

"Not just this year, as long as the factory's performance is good, as long as everyone works hard and can make money for me as the boss, we will conduct evaluations at least once a year, or at most twice. I want to personally review the evaluations! Increase wages!"

"It's not for anything else, just because the factory made money, I just want to give everyone more money!"

In an instant, the small restaurant, which was seated with more than twenty people, fell silent.

Only the boss's two words, as loud as a bell, echoed in succession - "Raise the wages!"

"Raise the price again!"

“The price goes up every year!”

"Anyway, I just want to give you more money!"

Suddenly, at some point, someone behind a screen took the lead and shouted, "Okay!"

Then, there was a sudden cheer from outside, and then thunderous applause.

At this moment, inside the staff restaurant behind a screen, everyone suddenly started clapping vigorously!

"it is good!"

"thank you boss!"

"Long live the boss!"

"Boss, you really are Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

"Boss, I wish you can marry ten beautiful wives!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"
