Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 942 Shenshui Bay

Things suddenly piled up, and Xiaowei felt like he didn't have enough time.

Now, besides feed and furniture, I have to manage everything else, and the pressure on me is constantly increasing.

This is also the main reason why Xiaowei decided to hand over the management of the shopping mall, supermarket, convenience store, and open-air market to Manager Zhang today—he lacks the necessary skills. Having a good mind and having real ability are two completely different concepts. Ability is a combination of experience, knowledge, intellect, and personality, with experience and knowledge accounting for more than half.

If you lack the ability, leave it to someone who is capable. Just keep an eye on the direction, manage the finances, and maybe get a little involved in human resources management. You still need to learn from others in terms of business operations. This is the understanding that Xiaowei has come up with during this period.

If you lack the ability, then just do what you can do and don't get too involved in things you don't understand.

The food factory has Xie Xiaolong, the school has Shan Hongmei and a few others, the business has Manager Zhang and Vice President Chen, and the purchasing has Sister Liu. That's all there. Just take care of the logistics and ensure their welfare and benefits so they can work with peace of mind. That's better than anything else.

I'll leave the restaurant to Sister Jin and coordinate with her. The hotel will bring back a manager from Hong Kong, and with Li Na's cooperation, there shouldn't be any problems. Then I'll focus on investments, including commercial and residential real estate, warehouses, cargo transportation, and house sales.

Xiao Wei opened his notebook again, picked up his pen, and wrote down his thoughts.

The car sales department also needs a serious overhaul. Although we've sold quite a few cars with Grandpa Liu's help lately, and are even waiting for the manufacturer to supply more, this isn't our own achievement. We need to select someone to form a team.

By the way, we need to increase the variety of cars; let's get some nicer ones.

The expansion of the convenience store and cake shop also needs to be handled by ourselves. This matter can be entrusted to Chen Huijian to build a dedicated site selection team. It would be great if Yu Qiu could come; it seems his family matters won't be resolved anytime soon. What a pity.

This marriage certificate for Shan Hongmei absolutely cannot be issued.

Jin Jie and Li Na don't have boyfriends yet. Should we try to find out about them indirectly? They're not getting any younger. Li Na is okay at 22, but Jin Jie is already 25. If they don't start dating soon, they'll really become old maids. Won't her family have any objections?

We still need to build the transit base in Fengtian first, and then slowly move down to other places. It's pointless to build it elsewhere if we don't build it here.

As for the fleet, I'll have to talk to the military about that. I'm not considering establishing my own fleet for the time being. The maintenance, repairs, fuel depot, personnel recruitment and management, obtaining all the necessary permits and licenses, and dealing with relationships with transportation authorities in various regions—it's simply not worth it.

And the brewery, that needs to be put on the agenda.

Sister Liu said she would recommend a few people for management positions. This would require preparing an employment contract, and she wanted them to indirectly learn about the company's strength, background, benefits, and reward/punishment system. This task was entrusted to Li Na to assist Sister Liu.

We need to conduct a marital and reproductive survey of all current employees, establish a family planning office, and organize several internal social events for unmarried employees. We also need to determine the number of preschool children and set up a kindergarten.

Xiao Wei put down his pen, lit a cigarette, and walked to the French windows, looking at the scenery below. There were already quite a few construction sites in this area, turning the once sturdy vegetable gardens and houses into patches that looked like they'd been gnawed by dogs. It was easy to imagine that in two or three years, this area would be devoid of vegetable gardens and old-style houses, replaced by densely packed high-rise buildings. It would probably be a sea of ​​slab-style buildings.

Should we build an employee housing complex? We could gather all the employees from Fengtian together to live, and establish an employee kindergarten. There are elementary, middle, and high schools in the surrounding area, so it's a good place. Plus, having everyone gathered together would make family planning work much easier.

In those days, family planning was an overriding national policy, and it was strictly enforced. Employees who violated family planning regulations could have consequences for the factory or even the company, including fines, public reprimands, and tax repercussions.

There was also healthcare; during this period, all state-owned enterprises had their own hospitals or medical welfare systems.

Although private and privately-owned enterprises do not offer such benefits, and the government does not mandate it, why not talk to the hospital and set up a clinic or outpatient department here, so that employees can get discounts on medical treatment, and the company can provide subsidies for serious illnesses based on seniority or different positions?

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about building an employee housing complex in this area. What do you think?"

Chen Hui walked to the window and looked down: "The space is alright, but how are we going to divide it? Are we just giving it away for free?"

Xiao Wei said, "How about a discounted price, like a collectively funded housing project? It can be deducted from wages. Let Geng Hui and the others calculate the specific amount. Is that feasible? I think it's easier to manage if we centralize everything, and everyone's feelings towards the company will be different. Also, it's easier to manage family planning matters. We can build kindergartens and clinics, convenience stores, and provide all the necessary living amenities."

Chen Hui asked, "All employees?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's definitely all the employees. Is it really worth building a residential complex just for a food factory?"

Chen Hui lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and said, "Sure, it doesn't cost any money, and it can help the newcomers settle down."

Xiao Wei said, "Why don't we build the brewery here too? We could poach some people from Snow Beer and Longshan Spring, would that work? How much space would that require?"

Chen Hui said, "The brewery won't be here. But poaching people is definitely an option. Where else would we get people? The Heping area is basically settled. We'll get the entire area south of Shenshui Road, from Wulihe Stadium all the way to Gongnong Bridge, on the condition that we build a riverside park of no less than 500 acres based on the Longwang Temple, with entertainment, leisure, and sports as the themes, and rebuild a group of Liao Dynasty buildings."

Xiao Wei walked to the front of the map and looked at it: "How big is it?"

Chen Hui pointed it out to Xiao Wei and said, "From Hunhe Bridge to Gongnong Bridge, only the Wulihe Stadium was built along this section of the river. The rest of the area is empty, with only a few dozen households. In the past two years, the river embankment has been repaired and some trees have been planted. The entire area is more than 3,000 mu, and the stadium occupies more than 600 mu. The Dragon King Temple is here, and the entrance to the South Canal is here. The original site of the building to be rebuilt is here. The exterior drawings are in the archives."

Xiao Wei asked, "How much would it cost to buy land?"

Chen Hui said, "It's over 100 yuan per square meter. Heping and Shenhe are the two most expensive districts in Fengtian, there's nothing we can do about it."

Xiao Wei said, "That's normal, the commerce is thriving. Even though those old houses on Taiyuan Street are about to collapse, they still cost over two or three thousand yuan per square meter."

Chen Hui turned to look for an ashtray, flicked off some cigarette ash, and said, "I think it's a good deal. It's worth doing. How much does a park cost? It's cheaper than land, right? Besides, once it's built, will you even bother measuring it?"
