My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 820 Shouldn't Pyongyang be the best?
Before they even got off the bus, the two local girls from Beijing were already exclaiming in amazement!
"This building is really amazing! I've really broadened my horizons today thanks to you!"

"Manager, is our company capable of building a building like this? Our leader assigned this task to me, so I have to ensure it's completed, right?"

"Oh my gosh, what did I just see...?"

What a commotion!
No wonder the two girls were excited.

This 20-plus-story television production building is a rare sight in Pyeongkol at this time.

Technically, it wasn't a problem. When Jiangzhou Design Institute met Rang Weidong, they had already planned to build a building of more than 20 stories. Rang Weidong's plan was something that Lao Geng and his team had thoroughly understood and continuously adjusted and replicated after they had studied Jiangzhou Design Institute's plan.

Firstly, during the era of welfare housing allocation, such high-rise residential buildings were costly and not suitable for individual work units to build themselves. Secondly, supporting facilities such as elevators, central air conditioning, and fire protection were inadequate.

Therefore, even Heijō is rarely seen.

The newly completed 20-plus-story building in Zhuan'ertai is sure to be selected as one of this year's top ten buildings.

The television production building is not so eye-catching; it also features a neoclassical style with a black and brown stone podium and white ceramic tiles on the main building, giving it a dignified and elegant appearance.

Especially the pyramid-shaped black spire, coupled with the overhanging eaves, gives it a Chinese style from a distance, and it is indeed very classy.

The specially designed parking lot is a distinguishing feature; many national government buildings don't even have this feature nowadays.

There are various cars on display now, and the Jeep CJ is the most dilapidated and the most unusual.

When Wei Dong got out of the car, he looked around and skillfully scanned all the license plates. Damn, these people are so talented and resourceful that they came here so early in the morning... no, did they stay here?

In the end, we integrated Super 6 Hotels here because we wanted a complete and mature management system.

But upon entering the hotel through the rather simple and bright entrance at the side rear of the building, Wei Dong couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

As the most affordable budget hotel under the Wanmad brand, Super 6 has a rather simple decor and emphasizes cleanliness and superior service in both Shanghai and Shenzhen.

It does not use luxury as its selling point.

But this Pingjing store seems to be the one that Wei Dong brought to Xu Rao and the others for the first time, where he boasted about having access to stone quarrying channels, and that's what makes it high-end.

Then he handed the matter over to Lao Geng and Wu Shengyun, and then he stopped worrying about it.

Now that you've walked in, damn it, it's a replica of the White Building!

It was doubled!

The entire area is decorated with stone, exuding an air of extravagance!

Don't these guys have any sense of the bigger picture?

Do you really think that you have to use the best of everything when you go to Beijing?
There are countless varieties of stone, and the one Wu Shengyun was looking for was the nationally renowned white stone.

Then, that damned guy, following the development of the Yangtze River basin, found that notorious black market production area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Okay, now the ground is black stone, polished with cloud-like white lines, containing quartz, and it shines so brightly that the two girls from Beijing were so surprised when they walked in that they jumped around like they were playing hopscotch and dared not put their feet down!

The walls are white, but not the pure white of before. Wu Shengyun seemed to have mentioned that he named the newly developed mine "Panda White".

It's pure white with black stripes mixed in, and the black and white texture really looks like panda skin!

Wang Zhiwen couldn't help but reach out and touch it curiously: "This isn't just paint, is it?"

Fortunately, the lobby manager here was selected from students at Heijing High School and had also received news that the boss was coming.

While politely welcoming the inspection team leader with a smile, she was also furious and kicked the slovenly guy from the film academy: "It's true, it's all true, we never fake anything from our family!"

Seeing how agile she was even in high heels, Wei Dong could only quickly advise her: "Don't beat up customers. No matter how familiar you are, they are still customers. Were the CEOs of the other companies staying here last night?"

The girl from Ludong immediately retorted irritably, "What nonsense! They live here every day and insist on taking up the boss's office. They're all shameless cowards!"

As long as Wei Dong observed that there was no bullying or abuse of women, he was fine. He then solemnly instructed, "Speak Mandarin at work. You need to reflect the high-end, sophisticated, and classy image of our hotel and company..."

The college graduates treated him like an older brother, and immediately chuckled in agreement. The two staff members at the front desk, a man and a woman, also laughed along.

The two food preparation girls sidled up and chuckled, "Can we come work here?"

Wei Dong helplessly suggested, "Does your Second Deputy system have its own guesthouse? Do any of your brother units need accommodation when they come to Beijing? Why don't you set one up yourself? We are a private enterprise, not a guaranteed job."

The two girls listened intently, their eyes darting around, seemingly unsure whether they were analyzing secure jobs or noting down new business opportunities.

Taking notes was not as effective as Wang Zhiwen taking Wei Dong's small camera and taking pictures along the way.

As Wei Dong led them from the magnificent, narrow lobby to the even smaller elevator shaft, the sight of the mirrored elevator doors opening made them gasp in amazement.

This was also Wei Dong's idea. The elevators produced in Jiangzhou were all made of thick, bulky, bent steel plates. They could have just been painted blue. But Wei Dong insisted that they at least change it to a smoother paint job.

Later, when the elevators in Building 5 of the Shanghai-Haikou Railway were being renovated, he requested that the entire interior be covered with mirrors.

Since we don't have high-quality mirror-finish stainless steel sheets, we use real lenses to create the effect.

So the two girls couldn't hear the elevator operator's report to Sweetie; they were completely absorbed in adjusting their hair amidst all the mirrors. Love it!

The fact that elevators are not fully automatic is precisely what reflects the reality of this era.

Many people have never ridden an elevator, and elevator operators even serve as floor screening and surveillance cameras.

Without a hotel room number, you cannot go down to the elevator floor.

Why bother with an IC card floor management system? We can just use people.

The report states that floors one through seven belong to Jin Zhuoqun, including offices and a TV shopping mall. Over the past few months, there has been a constant flow of people, including all sorts of strange and unsavory characters.

Especially on the seventh floor, there are often some glamorous women coming and going!

Then, only floors 13 to 21 were left for Wei Dong, but other people, after seeing the hotel under renovation, suggested that Wei Dong take over its management.

So, apart from keeping the 18th floor as the office floor for Dongsheng Trading and the 19th floor as a restaurant, the rest were all renovated into hotel rooms.

Wei Dong jokingly arranged to renovate the 23rd and 24th floors into business suites and even larger luxury suites.

It's just to distance ourselves from any ulterior motives you might be up to. We're on our own floor; at most, the hotel is just helping with cleaning and maintenance.

The elevator operator said no, but these guys just hang out in your office all day, doing nothing but playing and eating, and they even leave unpaid bills!
This profoundly reflects disdain for the lazy and gluttonous class.

Looking at the indignant elevator operator, Wei Dong thought it was alright; it was just a matter of hanging up a bill at the restaurant.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the eighteenth floor, the two food service girls exclaimed, "Oh my gosh!" Right in front of us in the elevator lobby was a large, three-dimensional sign that read "Dongsheng Trade," which looked very impressive.

Then the open-plan office area unfolds, revealing dozens or even hundreds of people bustling about in "modern" semi-high cubicles.

When everyone saw their leader come out, they all popped their heads out and stood up, applauding enthusiastically to welcome him!
This is the empire that Wei Dong and his team conquered.

Moreover, as the earliest established branch in Beijing, it not only manages the branches and sales companies throughout the northern region, but also bears the important responsibility of supplying management and technical personnel to other parts.

Therefore, they are aware of the situation regarding the introduction of two major automotive industry chains, foreign trade, real estate, and contract manufacturing in Shanghai, electronics, ports, and aircraft carriers in Shenzhen, and hotel companies in Guangdong.

I feel genuine admiration and pride now.

They also know that they have the option to participate in these projects.

Wang Zhiwen had clearly never been here before, so he lagged behind a few steps to take photos and record the event.

Wei Dong felt as if he were inspecting his troops. He took a few steps, patted the outstretched hand, and noticed that everyone was rushing over.

She stopped abruptly and raised her voice: "This is my first time visiting the upgraded headquarters of Pingjing Company..."

Everyone immediately stood still and fell silent, allowing Wei Dong to catch a glimpse of the branch office manager and Yu Xiaoqiu coming out from the supervisor's and manager's offices, while a group of outstanding individuals emerged from the largest double-door office, exchanging winks and glances.

He disregarded everything else and addressed all the members in a loud voice: "This is not your place to retire and die; it's merely a starting point. The Yuezhou branch has taken over all work related to the national hotel system, and we must continuously train hotel management talent to send to various regions. The Shanghai branch has expanded its foreign trade to Japan and Citibank, and is also assisting the automotive industry chain in returning to China, as well as handling customs and container operations at ports and wharves. Jiangzhou is our main production and manufacturing base. What about Pingjing? What should Pingjing do?!"

If these words were spoken in the dreary atmosphere of a workplace in the morning, the seasoned veterans who have been following the same routine for years would just chuckle and continue as before.

It's extremely rare for even a tiny fraction of talents to be brought to fruition.

Because every screw in a huge machine must be made in a specific order.

Only in the wildly growing private enterprises, especially in the early stages of reform, is anything possible.

Moreover, these are all outstanding university students, a gathering of excellent talents from all over the country who have come to Beijing.

Their eyes were sharp.

Anyway, the two girls who were preparing side dishes were so surprised that they stopped being so carefree. When they looked back in astonishment, Wei Dong felt a surge of pride and magnanimity, and they leaned against the wall and whispered to each other.

The college students didn't even look at them, and one after another they asked, "Can I work in foreign trade? I've majored in, taken electives in, and taught myself three foreign languages!"

"I want to join a hotel company; I'm very interested in the hotel companies here!"

"I am confident in leading the automotive industry well; I interned at Pingqi!"

Wei Dong was satisfied: "Yes, our advantage is that anything is possible, but one person can't do it alone. I need your support, and you also need to lead your teams to fight and achieve results. So I hope you can recruit and draw on your own teams from the university campuses in Pingjing and come to me to talk about what you can do. I will also continue to hold various work meetings in Pingjing!"

He grabbed a piece of chalk from the side and quickly wrote down on the blackboard next to him: domestic sales, foreign trade, automobiles, computers, electrical appliances, clothing, semiconductors, hotels, real estate construction, shopping malls and supermarkets, sports. Actually, he wrote it down as he thought of it, and finally added docks and ships.

I actually wanted to write about Hong Kong, but that would be too shocking, and there are still a lot of people watching from there.

He quickly grabbed a piece of chalk and circled two people together: "Try to notify the sales members in major universities that starting tonight, I will be giving a detailed explanation of one project every day at the university student employment center where the sanitary napkin factory used to be. Everyone is welcome to lead a team to learn."

Everyone shouted "Yes!"

The outstanding individuals gathered at the entrance of the large office had various expressions on their faces.
