Qian Guotai took the land deed and house deed of Sanjin Courtyard in Beijing from his handbag and handed them to Chu Xiangqian.
Chu Qianqian was stunned. He didn't expect that this thing would be delivered to me on Hong Kong Island.
It seems that the superiors still take me very seriously.
I took it and looked at it, feeling secretly happy.
The three-in-one courtyard at the front door is truly heirloom. In a few decades, this house will be worth at least a billion.
And with this kind of house deed and land deed, you don’t even have to worry about property rights for the next 70 years.
Qian Guotai couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the smile on his face. It seemed that this boy was really a money addict.
But then I thought, as long as Chu Xiangqian is willing, even if he buys ten such houses, his superiors will approve it for the sake of his achievements and foreign exchange.
He continued with a smile, "Although this courtyard has been set up for you, in order to keep it confidential and low-key, the senior leader did not let anyone decorate the courtyard. However, after cleaning and tidying up, it will be no problem to move in."
At the same time, in order to reduce trouble, I have also arranged for your uncle Shi, Yixian Tian and Lao Jiang to entrust the store to look after the warehouse, be a doorman and an antique salesperson.
From now on, they will stay in the same unit as your master. Not only will they have to take care of and adapt to the situation, they will also not have much work to do on a daily basis. "
Chu hurriedly thanked Xiangqian, and then heard Qian Guotai continue, "Also, we have arranged for a middle-aged doctor and a nurse who have been practicing for 26 years to follow your uncle Gong Ruomei all the way.
When they arrive in the capital, there will be national experts to treat her and nurse her back to health. "
Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that although this kind of reward seemed worthless, it still felt good to be taken seriously.
Incidentally, it is also a kind of affirmation of oneself by the superiors.
And Uncle Master and the others have the job of entrusting the store, which is the establishment of public institutions.
At least before 1966, no one would bother them.
Even if they kept a low profile for ten years, no one would notice these old men and women.
Chu Xiangqian put the house deed and land deed into his pocket, and actually put them in the warehouse of Novice Village.
He smiled and said to Qian Guotai, "By the way, the 592,000 kilograms of grain cost a total of HK$240,000, of which 100,000 was donated by Baifanyu.
Remember to talk to the big boss about this, lest someone help us but not even get a name.
Also, Baifanyu said again and again that this matter should be kept confidential. "
After Qian Guotai was surprised, he nodded naturally.
Baifanyu's identity is indeed a problem. He became worried and asked, "Is a person like Baifanyu trustworthy? Will he doubt your identity?"
Chu Xiangqian said this on purpose.
"I don't have the means to buy that much grain myself, and instead of buying grain from Nanyang merchants, I might as well buy it from Baifanyu, which has already landed, passed customs, and been stored in the dock.
Plus, didn’t I build a market next to the fire station? Buying food is considered reasonable.
However, in order to show that I am definitely not a red party person, I brought a little girl from Monopoly the day before yesterday, who was almost sold to a big man in the city by her own mother, to live in the Peninsula Hotel. "
Qian Guotai was stunned, and the first impression in his heart was not that of anger.
Instead, he secretly thought that the little girl must be very beautiful.
Then he rolled his eyes and said, "I will only report this matter to the big boss. It is up to you whether Lan Lan and the Xue family will talk about it or not.
But from a work perspective, as long as it's not a principled mistake, you make the decision yourself. "
After saying that, Qian Guotai began to complain about Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Director Cao Guanglin. If Director Cao had applied for Chu Qianqian to join the organization at the end of last year, he had passed it.
Chu Xiangqian is now a party member, and he is qualified to restrain Chu Xiangqian.
But now that he has no official position and is not a member of the organization, let alone admonishing, even preaching can only be done as a friend and uncle.
In the end, Qian Guotai could only comfort himself by thinking that Chu Xiangqian was a young man after all, and it was normal for him not to be able to control his love affairs.
Besides, he has now become a Hong Kong citizen. According to the current laws of Hong Kong Island, there is no problem in taking four concubines, let alone four.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no need to pay attention to whether Chu Xiangqian made a mistake.
Then he asked worriedly, "You don't want to marry that girl here on Hong Kong Island, do you?"
Chu Xiangqian shook his head hurriedly, "I will only marry Lanlan in my life. Besides, I just pity Feifei's life experience. If I don't rescue her from the rich family, she might die in the walled city that day."
Qian Guotai cursed in his heart, knowing that Chu Xiangqian was talking nonsense. In the final analysis, he was still tempted by beauty.
Chu Xiangqian was secretly happy. The big boss would definitely help him improve the script and compile a script that would make the audience sympathize with him and have no choice but to deal with Feifei.
After he and Lan Lan get married and come to Hong Kong, there will be other women. As long as Lan Lan is taken care of, the Xue family's acceptance will be much higher.
After the matter was discussed, Chu Xiangqian had no intention of continuing to chat with Qian Guotai.
He flicked the remaining two-thirds of the cigar into the sea, said hello and walked to the Peninsula Hotel.
Qian Guotai shook his head helplessly, and when he saw Chu Qianqian casually throwing away the 5 Hong Kong dollar cigar, he secretly thought that this kid had really changed a lot.
Normal cigar lovers use special cigar cases to store the remaining cigars when they can't finish smoking.
When you want to smoke, take it out and light it.
Fortunately, after thinking about it, if I could earn 200 million a month, I wouldn't care about a small sum of 5 or 10 yuan.
We continued fishing for half an hour before packing up and leaving.
Chu Qianqian returned to the luxurious suite of the Peninsula Hotel, entered the bathroom, and entered the Novice Village. He used the remaining steel from the previous iron cage and spent 10 silver coins in the blacksmith shop to make a swing stick.
After trying it carefully, the products produced by the game are strong and durable.
Then I spent another 50 silver coins to make 5 spare ones.
Then he came out of the bathroom and patted Feifei's buttocks, which was sticking to his side.
"I'm going to the newspaper office in a moment. How about if you have nothing to do, you can go to the newspaper office a few hundred meters away and work as my secretary?"
The Peninsula Hotel is also in East Tsim Sha Tsui, only three to four hundred meters away from the small building of the newspaper office.
Moreover, as his secretary, he usually doesn't have much to do, and his status in the newspaper office is neither high nor low, which is indeed suitable for a novice like Feifei in the workplace.
When I go to the newspaper office one day, if I have nothing to do, I can have an office romance, or even do something I like in the office.
When Feifei heard that she was going to be Chu Xiangqian's secretary, she immediately nodded and agreed, regardless of whether she was qualified or not.
Not long after, the two drove to the newspaper office. Chu Xiangqian first took Feifei to his office and began to tell her what she needed to do.
After a while, He Yisheng knocked on the open door with some documents, "Boss, if you are free, I would like to report to you the sales situation in the past few days."
Chu nodded forward and told Feifei, "Pour two cups of coffee for Editor He and me."
After that, he pointed at Feifei and said to He Yisheng, "This is my personal secretary, she will work here in the newspaper office from now on.
After that, he pointed at Feifei and said to He Yisheng, "This is my personal secretary, she will work here in the newspaper office from now on.
However, Feifei doesn’t know anything and didn’t even go to high school.
It's okay to leave small things to her, but don't ask her for big things.
Also, ask your secretary to teach her how to do things, otherwise she will be my secretary and not only will I have to teach her how to do things in the end.
Or even some small things require my help to complete them. "
He Yisheng understood immediately upon hearing this that the boss had found a lover whom he liked but was not prepared to entrust him with important responsibilities, and he did not even give him a chance to interfere in the business.
Letting her come to the newspaper office is just to pass the time for a job, and by the way, she can also be the eyes and ears.
He Yisheng didn't mind at all about his eyes and ears, and even thought it would be abnormal if Chu Xiangqian didn't do this.
By then, he would be even more stressed because he didn't know whether Chu Xiangqian truly believed in himself, his ability, and his character, or whether he was watching silently from the sidelines and testing himself.
"Don't worry, boss, I will instruct the secretary and everyone in the newspaper office. Miss Feifei represents you."
Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, while Feifei, who was pouring coffee, was excited and filled with joy.
"By the way, the salary offered by the newspaper to Feifei is only 100 yuan, and I will give her pocket money."
He Yisheng's eyes lit up. If Feifei gets a normal job and even a low salary, the newspaper employees will talk less.
And with such little money, Feifei's enthusiasm to get involved and interfere with the newspaper was gone.
After all, unless you are a career maniac, no one will work hard and get less than one-tenth of what your man gives you.
"Understood, boss." After saying that, He Yisheng began to seriously report on the affairs of the newspaper office.
Feifei curled her lips and watched Chu Qianqian muttering "cheapskate" before honestly bringing over two cups of coffee.
Then I heard He Yisheng say that the newspaper company had increased its sales from only 10,000 newspapers to 30,000 newspapers per day.
Just from these 30,000 copies, based on the newspaper’s selling price of 20 cents and the cost of 13 cents, the daily income of the newspaper has reached 2,100 yuan.
That’s 63,000 a month.
The newspaper's previous 100 people had monthly expenses of 20,000 yuan. Even if the number of reporters was expanded to 50 according to Chu Xiangqian's request, the expenses would only be around 30,000 yuan.
Even if the number of employees exceeds 200 in the future, the monthly expenditure will only be 40,000.
In other words, the newspaper company is already making a profit just by selling newspapers.
If you include advertising fees, you can easily earn 50,000 yuan a month.
No wonder the next ten or twenty years will be an explosive period for Hong Kong’s newspaper industry.
Those newspapers that sell 100,000 yuan a day can have more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a month in advertising fees alone.
That’s an income of three to four million a year.
Chu Xiangqian said to He Yisheng with satisfaction, "Editor-in-Chief He, we will strive to stabilize the daily sales of 50,000 copies by the end of the month. At that time, we will give you double wages.
If the number of copies exceeds 80,000 by the end of the year, I will use the name of the newspaper to buy a piece of land and build a residential building.
When the time comes, sell them to outstanding employees at cost price.
At the same time, employees who apply for rent only need to pay 20% off the market price to move in.
Moreover, after working for 5 years, you can buy a house at the cost price when the residential building was built.
However, whether they buy after construction or after five years, employees must have worked at the newspaper for ten years, otherwise they will have to make up the difference based on the house price at the time of resignation. "
He Yisheng was ecstatic at first, but after a few seconds, he silently calculated in his mind that the boss did not lose money in building the building, but he could easily lock in the employees for 10 years. This deal was indeed very cost-effective.
Not to mention morale and so on, if employees want to change jobs, or other newspapers want to poach people, the cost of poaching people will rise all of a sudden.
It is impossible for other newspaper companies to build houses and sell them to employees at a low price.
He Yisheng secretly sighed that Chu Xiangqian was really shrewd, but when he thought about it carefully, he had to thank and admire him.
After all, this is actually for the benefit of employees.
Moreover, it has solved the housing problem that Hong Kong people are most concerned about and attaches great importance to. The cohesion of the newspaper in the future will definitely be the first in the newspaper industry on Hong Kong Island.
At the same time, his work enthusiasm and combat effectiveness are definitely among the best.
Maybe it would be much, much easier to poach people from other newspapers.
"Boss, don't worry. For the sake of the house, I think everyone at the newspaper will go all out. We will be able to stabilize the newspaper's daily sales at more than 80,000 copies before the end of the year."
Chu Xiangqian was also comparing his accounts in his mind. There were still a little more than seven months before the end of the year. During this period, the daily sales were more than 50,000, and the newspaper would make a profit of about 40,000 to 500,000 in this half year.
This money is actually enough to be used as the first batch of funds for selling land and building buildings.
When the residential building is completed, it will take about two years at least.
In the past two years, the sales volume of 80,000 copies was enough to bring the newspaper a profit of at least more than 2 million yuan a year.
In other words, even if 200 houses of 4 or 50 square meters are built, the newspaper's two-year profit will actually be enough to cover the cost of building the building.
Once the newspaper really starts buying land and building buildings, and the employees become more active, maybe next year the newspaper's sales will reach 200,000 or even 300,000 copies per day.
Chu Xiangqian thought carefully and realized that he really had this confidence.
After all, in the real world, Oriental Daily sells 300,000 copies a day, and it only took more than 2 years after a comprehensive revision.
It even maintained above 500,000 copies for a time, and at its peak, it reached 580,000 copies.
If the expectations can be realized, let alone building a staff building, it will be no problem to buy the land around the newspaper and expand the warehouse, independent printing plant, or even an office building with more than ten floors.
Moreover, Chu Xiangqian had no intention of allocating funds from the newspaper.
He Yisheng left Chu Qianqian's office excitedly and went to talk to the senior management about the matter.
Feifei quietly closed the door of the office, hurriedly walked to Chu Qianqian, sat down on his lap, put her arms around Chu Qianqian's neck and asked to please him.
"Husband, I am also a member of the newspaper company. Can I also buy a staff room?"
Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at the girl, "Are you stupid? Now you have 1,000 pocket money every month, why are you still thinking about building a house that will take two or three years?
Can't you save money for the first half of the year, raise enough down payment to buy a house, and then use your pocket money to slowly pay off the loan?
If you only buy a house of 4 or 50 square meters, it will only cost around 20,000 in Causeway Bay.
Or buy a small store less than ten square meters for about 10,000.
Not only can you buy it with a year's pocket money, but the salary from the newspaper office and the remaining pocket money add up, and you still have three thousand pocket money every year.
Two or three years later, when the staff room is built, you will already have a suite and a front room in your hands. "
