After lunch in the cafeteria, Lin Mai was about to go home.
I plan to rest at home for a while and then go to the Land Bureau in the afternoon to buy land and build a family community for the employees.
Taking advantage of the fact that land is not difficult to acquire now and is cheap, we have solved the housing problem of the current factory employees.
After a few years, the land was changed to an auction system, and land prices continued to rise, and it would be impossible to build houses for employees.
When Lin Zhi passed by a table of female workers, he heard one of the middle-aged female workers say: "Have you heard that our garment factory will be recruiting workers after the Chinese New Year?"
Several other female workers shook their heads and said, "I've never heard of it. Where did you hear about it?"
"I forgot who said it, it should have come from the Human Resources Department."
The middle-aged female worker from before said: "If the garment factory really recruits workers after the Chinese New Year, I will ask my eldest daughter to stop studying, participate in the recruitment, and work in the factory.
Even if you work as an apprentice, you can still earn about fifty yuan a month with a guaranteed salary. During the peak clothing season, earning a hundred yuan a month is nothing."
A round-faced female worker said to her: "Sister Lanhua, your eldest daughter is only fifteen years old. It's too early for you to let her go to work to make money."
Lanhua said plausibly: "Why is it so early? You are already an adult at the age of fifteen, why can't you go out and make money?
People of our generation are all getting married at the age of fifteen.
This is a good time for today's children. They can still go to school at the age of fifteen. At that time, we couldn't even dream of it."
Everyone nodded.
A female worker said to Lanhua: "My girl is two years older than your eldest girl.
If the garment factory really recruits workers after the Chinese New Year, I will also ask my girls to participate in the recruitment."
Several other female workers tried to persuade her: "Your girl's grades are so good, it's a pity to let her go to work!
If you are admitted to university, you will become a cadre in the future, so don't be short-sighted."
The female worker said: "I'm not short-sighted. How can it be so easy to get into college?
Do you think that everyone is our Mr. Lin and got admitted to Qingdao University in just one test!
It’s too difficult to get into college, so it’s better to get a good job early than anything else.”
The other female workers nodded repeatedly when they heard this.
When Lin Mai heard this, he said: "Currently, the garment factory has no plans to recruit workers, so don't go by hearsay."
None of the female workers noticed that Lin Mai stood near them and eavesdropped.
Everyone was shocked when they suddenly heard Lin Mai's voice.
Lin Mai continued: "We won't hire anyone under the age of 18, and we won't hire anyone without a junior high school diploma.
So don't think about stuffing underage children into factories.
If you have children at home, try not to let them drop out of school and study hard.
I will set up a corporate reading fund later.
Those who are admitted to technical secondary schools, technical schools and high schools will be awarded three hundred per student, and those who are admitted to university will be awarded five hundred."
After saying this, she left.
The female workers all patted their chests.
A female worker said: "Fortunately we didn't say anything bad about Mr. Lin just now, otherwise it would have been embarrassing if we were caught."
Another female worker said: "Mr. Lin has already said that we will not recruit minors or people without junior high school education or above.
Stop thinking about things that are not available, let your children study hard, and maybe they can get a scholarship."
…
Lin Mai hailed a taxi at the factory gate and went home.
When passing by the head office, I suddenly saw two familiar figures.
One is Tao Zhiyun and the other is Fang Zhuoyue.
The two were talking, laughing, and feeding each other.
Lin Mai stared straight at him, when did these two people get together?
She originally wanted to stop the car and call them to ask what happened, but she was afraid of Tao Zhiyun's embarrassment. After thinking about it, she suppressed her growing curiosity.
I also understand why she cooks delicious food, and Fang Zhuoyue will never come back like before, even though he is far away.
What’s good food when there’s beauty?
Back home, Grandma Fang asked Lin Mai concernedly if she had had lunch.
Lin Mai said she had eaten, went upstairs and called Chen Feng.
The two talked on the phone for about half an hour before hanging up.
The two people talked on the phone mainly about the two real estate projects in Hong Kong.
Chen Feng said that in Hong Kong, pre-construction properties can be sold as soon as they are ready. He also wanted to start selling two properties before the year and asked Lin Mai if it was possible.
Although it is not yet 1984, the Hong Kong property market has begun to pick up, so it is natural to open the market at this time.
The Hong Kong property market will enter a bull market after the Chinese New Year, and this is the perfect time to test the waters.
Lin Mai asked Chen Feng to leave her two sets of large apartments on the 16th floor of a building called Antai in Kowloon Port, preferably door-to-door.
Chen Feng was a little puzzled: "Why do you want two large apartments? Even if you and your wife come to Hong Kong, one apartment is enough for a short stay."
Lin Mai said: "Just do as I say."
She also told Chen Feng not to sell the shops on the first to fifth floors of the two properties, but only to rent them out.
The locations of the two properties are so good, the shops will definitely be easy to rent.
Even if she lays down in the future, relying on the shops in these two real estates, she will still earn an astonishing monthly income.
After talking about work matters, Chen Feng suddenly whispered: "Maizi, I'm sorry~"
Lin Mai was stunned: "Okay, why don't you tell me you're sorry?"
"I used the wrong plateau."
Lin Mai smiled with relief: "No one makes mistakes sometimes.
You and I are both mortals, not gods. If you have anything to blame yourself for, I can solve it."
Lin Mai comforted him for a few words and ended the call.
As soon as she put down the receiver, the phone started ringing loudly.
She picked it up and answered it. The call was from Fang Zhuoran.
He asked Lin Mai who she was talking to just now. After talking on the phone for such a long time, he called several times but couldn't get through.
Lin Mai told him frankly that she was just discussing work matters with Chen Feng.
The couple talked on the phone.
Happy time always flies by.
Lin Mai felt that he had not chatted with Fang Zhuoran for a few minutes, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
She reluctantly hung up the phone and took a taxi to the Land Bureau.
As soon as I entered the door, I met Director Wang of the Land Bureau.
During the Chinese New Year last year, Fang Zhuoran took her to pay New Year greetings to Director Wang in order to expand her network.
So Lin Mai knew Director Wang and greeted him with a smile.
Director Wang still has some impressions of Lin Mai.
She is so beautiful, everyone who sees her will have some impression.
What's more, she also has a prominent status - the largest tax payer in Jiangcheng.
Director Wang asked in an approachable manner: "Are you going to the Land Bureau to buy land?"
Lin Mai smiled and nodded.
Director Wang took her directly to his office and asked: "What do you want the land to be used for?"
Lin Mai told the truth.
Director Wang said: "I have three pieces of land here, let's see if you like them."
After that, he took out three documents from the drawer and handed them to her.
Lin Mai looked at the documents for the three pieces of land.
Two plots of land are located in the urban area, and the other is located on Gutian Road.
Although Gutian Road is also an urban area, it looks very desolate compared to other areas.
In the eyes of many old Hankou residents, it is the suburbs, or simply the countryside.
In fact, if there is no traffic jam, it only takes half an hour by bus from Gutian Road to Xinhua Road.
This is already a very close distance in Jiangcheng.
Although the land in Gutian is good, there are better ones.
Lin Mai did not hesitate to choose a piece of land near Xinhua Road.
This piece of land is closer to the factory, making it easier for employees to commute to and from get off work. It is better than the one on Gutian Road.
Anyway, the price would be the same no matter which piece of land she bought, so she would definitely choose a good location.
After she selected the land, Director Wang said with a smile: "After all, he is the boss of Wantong Group. He is very wealthy. He buys the most expensive land to build collective housing for his employees."
Lin Mai was dumbfounded: "Aren't all land prices the same? Why did the one I picked become the most expensive?"
Director Wang smiled and explained to her: “When we first started selling land, we were crossing the river by feeling the stones and didn’t know much.
The land prices in urban areas are always the same, while those in suburbs and rural areas have different prices.
Now that you have some experience, you know that land is divided into sections.
Therefore, the selling prices of land in different areas are different, which is different from before."
Lin Mai nodded in understanding and took the documents on the three pieces of land and read them again.
She simply bought two pieces of land, one in Gutian and the other near Xinhua Road that she originally chose.
After buying the land, she went to Jinxiu Garment Factory and Food Factory and told the Human Resources Department that she had bought two pieces of land.
One is from Gutian and the other is from Xinhua Road.
Ask the workers for their opinions on whether to build a family community in Gutian or on Xinhua Road.
In Gutian, the cost of building a community for family members will be lower because the land is cheap, and the workers will have to pay less to raise funds.
The land on Xinhua Road is now very expensive, so the cost will be higher, and the workers will have to raise more funds.
When he returned home in the afternoon, Gao Yuanzhong called and told him that the police station had sent over the medical expenses of the migrant workers who shot his family with water cannons in the light factory.
He also sent several old men and women to live in Factory Manager Hu's house.
Director Hu's wife and children were terribly annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.
Lin Mai said coldly: "Let Director Hu's wife and children go crazy."
She still hasn't asked for the money for the project, and she has trouble sleeping and eating.
The next day, the Human Resources Department fed back the workers' opinions to Lin Mai, saying that most of the workers agreed to build the family community on Gutian Road. After all, they could save hundreds of dollars in fund-raising fees.
Besides, Gutian Road is not very far from the factory. You can reach the factory in less than an hour by riding a bicycle.
We had a free working meal in the factory at noon, which saved us from the hard work of making lunch at home. Everyone thought it was pretty good.
The matter of building a community for family members was thus decided.
Lin Mai specifically looked at the housing requests filled out by employees.
Almost all of them are small units with two bedrooms and one living room, and then there are units with one and a half bedrooms and one living room.
The so-called small apartment with one and a half bedrooms and one living room refers to an apartment with a bedroom of ten square meters and a bedroom of three square meters that has just put a double bed.
There are very few employees who want a large apartment with three bedrooms and one living room.
These days, due to family planning, families in cities are basically living in families of three.
Not to mention two bedrooms and one living room, even a small apartment with one and a half bedrooms and one living room is enough for a family of three.
But Lin Mai felt sorry for the employees.
They did not seize this opportunity to build a raised house and buy a large apartment at a low price. If they want this opportunity in the future, they will never get it again.
After commercial housing became popular, the high housing prices made it out of reach for ordinary people.
On another piece of land on Xinhua Road, Lin Mai plans to build commercial housing and a residential complex for sale.
Although Plateau Zhong suffered a big setback in the light factory family community.
However, the commercial housing complex built on the vacant land of the light factory that Chen Feng bought sold very well in Plateau.
Good market conditions are one reason, and the marketing plan jointly planned by Gaoyuan Zhonghe's planning department is also good.
It can be seen that there was still a certain market for real estate in Jiangcheng, especially Hankou, in the 1980s.
Wuchang is famous for its cultural and educational industry, and Hanyang is famous for its industry. Whether it is state-owned units or schools, they all have separate houses.
People in these two towns may not be very willing to buy houses, and they are all waiting for free welfare houses from their work units.
But the situation in Hankou is different.
Hankou is the commercial center of Jiangcheng.
There are not many state-owned units. After the reform and opening up, there are many self-employed people doing business, and there are more households worth 10,000 yuan.
These self-employed people have no one to allocate welfare housing to them, so they have to pay for it themselves.
Therefore, the houses in the Wantong Land Group were selling well, so Lin Mai dared to buy land in Hankou to build commercial and residential buildings and sell them.
Lin Mai arranged the use of the two pieces of land with Gao Yuanzhong and his deputy, Manager Mo, and asked him to arrange manpower to start construction now.
After the residential complex built on the light factory land bought by Chen Feng is sold out, it will be connected to the commercial residential complex on Xinhua Road, so there will be no room for sale.
After arranging two pieces of land, Lin Mai went to the city government again.
There is no way she would just let it go without getting her project money back.
The city leaders still want to avoid her? That's impossible.
