Zhou Yuan decided to buy some land in the south. As the city developed faster and faster, the land price was also rising very fast.
Therefore, acquiring land is the top priority now. As long as you have land, you have the initiative in development.
The subsequent development of the company will be guaranteed.
This is what Zhou Yuan thinks now.
Zhou Yuan was planning to expand southward, so he came to the south for inspection again, starting from the early 1990s, after the chief designer gave a speech in the south.
The pace of reform and opening up in the south has clearly accelerated, and it is no exaggeration to say that urban development is changing with each passing day.
The rapid development of cities is actually closely related to real estate. The most intuitive aspects of urban development are roads, bridges and houses.
First, the road was widened, becoming wider and straighter. Then, houses rose up on both sides, one after another, and the floors became higher and higher.
From the initial fifth or sixth floor to the eighth floor, then to the tenth floor, then to the twentieth or thirty floors, and finally even dozens of floors.
There are also bridges. The south has a dense network of waterways, with many rivers of varying sizes.
When building roads, bridges need to be built across rivers, so bridge engineering is also a top priority in urban construction.
However, bridge construction is generally undertaken by specialized bridge companies. Zhou Yuan mainly contracts to build roads and other urban infrastructure, as well as airports, railway stations, docks, etc.
Now his company is engaged in field work on difficult engineering projects such as bridges, culverts, and submarine channels.
Everything else can be taken on, but if it is a very large project, it is generally not something that can be taken on by one company alone.
Several companies divided the work and cooperated to undertake projects in their respective areas of expertise.
Zhou Yuan, the company has now gradually begun to make a strategic shift from simply contracting projects to independently developing residential buildings.
Therefore, as the company grows larger, it needs more and more talents.
For this reason, he said to the third brother Liu Yiming: "Third brother, the company has grown in size, and the burden on your shoulders is not light."
"Don't worry, boss. I can handle it no matter how heavy the burden is. I exist to shoulder the burden for you and be the pillar of the company."
Liu Yiming laughed after he finished speaking.
He was telling the truth. Over the years, Liu Yiming had grown from an ordinary bricklayer to the second-in-command of the company. That was no joke.
Although he only has a high school education, he is actually a correspondence college graduate majoring in construction engineering.
They are also graduates of business administration and planning majors for high-end corporate talents.
It is precisely because on the one hand we acquire experience and technology from practice, and continue to explore and learn.
On the other hand, I continue to absorb nutrition from books and schools, and improve myself step by step. As the company grows and develops, my own growth will also increase.
His positions kept changing and he eventually became an important figure in the company.
Zhou Yuan trusts him very much, and he is also loyal to the company. As brothers, the two often communicate privately.
He spoke without restraint, and some things went far away. He even taught Liu Yiming step by step to improve his management skills.
As the times develop faster and faster, the company has entered a critical development period, so Zhou Yuan feels it necessary to have a good chat with this guy again.
Seeing this guy now full of confidence, Zhou Yuan patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "That's awesome! You speak with such confidence!
This is exactly what I want, but confidence is one thing, and working carefully and not being proud and complacent is another.
It is not easy to be modest, prudent and conscientious.”
"Boss, I know you taught me how to do this. If there's anything I don't understand, I can just ask you. You call me the boss, so I have nothing to be embarrassed about, right?"
"You're right to think so. We are brothers. If you have any pressure or difficulties, you should tell me. I can share them with you."
Zhou Yuan patted the guy again, smiled, and said, "You've been working hard these past few years. Who made you meet a boss who likes to be a hands-off boss, right?"
"If I'm not the boss, what am I supposed to be? If I do everything, am I still the boss?"
Liu Yiming also laughed out loud. The two of them patted my shoulder and I patted your shoulder.
They look like heroes who think alike and sympathize with each other.
As the second-in-command for a thousand years, Liu Yiming certainly knew what the boss was thinking. Besides money, this guy also liked women.
I travel everywhere when I have nothing to do, sometimes under the guise of investigation, with colorful flags flying outside.
However, Liu Yiming also knew that as the boss of the group company, he had so many brothers under him who helped him make money, and his pockets were so bulging.
In fact, these are nothing. They are free and easy and have the capital and means to do so.
But I don't have the capital and I own very few shares in the company, all of which were given to me by the boss.
In addition to managing the company diligently every day, there is a risk of being fired at any time.
Brothers are brothers, work is work. If you don’t have the ability to manage the company well, what else are you doing if you don’t leave?
For a large group company, not to mention rent, water, electricity, and other equipment consumption, the monthly salary is a considerable amount.
If the company does not make money, the consequences will be disastrous.
Except for Liu Yiming, the other brothers are actually the same.
Including Wang Xiaohua, Zhou Quan, and Ouyang Xiaomei.
They started the business with Zhou Yuan and are considered the company's veterans. They all have some shares in the company, but not much.
So he is one of the shareholders, but he still makes a living by his own ability.
Although they have been making continuous progress over the years, they sometimes feel a lot of pressure on their shoulders when facing such a large enterprise.
Liu Yiming is responsible for the overall situation. Except for finance and strategic investment, which are under the boss's control, everything else is under his control.
Wang Xiaohua is responsible for engineering contracting and construction, which is the most arduous part and also the company's core business, so the burden on Wang Xiaohua's shoulders is not light.
Zhou Quan is Zhou Yuan’s cousin. He is in charge of personnel and logistics, including the maintenance, management, leasing, and repair of mechanical equipment.
Ouyang Xiaomei was usually responsible for a single project before, and was a project manager.
Now Zhou Yuan is planning to transfer her to the position of quality management director of the company. Before the transfer, Zhou Yuan also had a talk with her.
Now Ouyang Xiaomei is Liu Yiming's wife, and both husband and wife are capable people and right-hand men of the company.
So he attached great importance to them. In addition to buying a very nice house for them in the provincial capital, he also provided each of them with a car.
"Xiaomei! Has work been going well recently?"
Zhou Yuan felt that this was a very appropriate opening remark.
Because of their previous relationship, Zhou Yuan felt a little embarrassed whenever he faced Ouyang Xiaomei alone.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he usually will not be alone with Ouyang Xiaomei. He knows that although this woman is capable, she has a bad temper and was once deeply in love with him.
So now it has become a thing of the past, and she is already his brother's wife, so it is better for the two of them to have less contact with each other in normal times.
"Is that a greeting, Boss?" Ouyang Xiaomei rolled her eyes at someone, then pouted and said, "In your eyes, I've always had a good life."
