Suddenly, the weather became colder and winter came.
But it's not just the weather that's getting colder, it's also the entire real estate industry.
Everyone tried hard to acquire land before, but now it is all in their hands. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, so everyone is inevitably panicking.
But Zhou Yuan is different. He is reborn. How could he know that this wave will take one or two years to pass? He has already made sufficient preparations.
He was ready to start acquiring land at this time, as the land he had acquired before had almost been developed.
What should be sold should be sold, what should be rented should be rented. There are not many existing houses on hand, and almost all the funds have been recovered, so there is sufficient cash on hand.
So after waiting for this time, it was time for him to take action.
However, before he could make a move, someone came to him. The person who found him was Zheng Qiang, who was both his competitor and friend.
That day, Zhou Yuan was leisurely drinking tea in his office. Since the industry entered a cold winter, many of his businesses had been completed and no new ones had been started.
So he told the company's employees that everyone had worked hard over the past few years, and everyone could see the current situation, which was very bad.
So I decided to temporarily close the company. Those who want to go home can go home to reunite with their wives and elders, and spend a few days together as a family.
You have made a lot of money in the past few years. If you don't waste it, you should be able to live a decent life, right?
Don't be anxious, take this opportunity to adjust your mindset, slow down, and take a good rest.
After a few days of happy and peaceful days, get your body in shape. Once we're through this, and the situation improves, we'll start an all-out attack again. By that time, you'll be tired again.
The employees had mixed feelings when they heard this. They were of course happy to go back and rest, but they would not be paid for the rest.
Many people would rather work and make money. When they have free time, they are afraid that the company will collapse.
So some people asked worriedly: "Boss Zhou, you want us to go back and rest. We want to rest, but what if we have no work to do?
Every family has its own family, young and old, and everyone needs to eat, so they can't sit idle."
"What's wrong with you guys? Didn't you feel tired and wanted to rest?"
Zhou Yuan glared at everyone and said, "Don't think I don't know that when you were tired before, you all kept complaining and wanted to play because you felt too tired. Now I tell you to go back and play, but you still complain. What are you complaining about?
They say you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you play well, you'll naturally make less money. It's impossible for me to play well. If I still pay you so much money every day, how can the company survive?"
Zhou Yuan's words made everyone look at each other in surprise. In addition to knowing that the boss was powerful, they also knew that the company was private.
It is impossible for you to support idle people, and you can't afford it. The company has thousands of people, and their salaries are huge every month.
I have no income, but I still get paid. I guess the company will be finished in a few months.
Of course, there are also people who do not go to work but still receive their salary. These are the company's executives and core personnel who have made great contributions to the company.
For example, Liu Yiming, Wang Xiaohua, Zhou Quan, and Ouyang Xiaomei, etc.
They are now lying in the company waiting for food. They are Zhou Yuan's right-hand men. Of course, they still get salary even if they don't go to work, and it is very high.
But for other middle and lower-level staff, Lu Yuan announced that they would pay half of their salary during the holidays, so that no one would go hungry.
Of course, piece-rate workers are not included in this range. You can go back and rest, and work when there is work. By the end of the year, you can earn the same annual salary as you do now, so don't worry.
No one believed Zhou Yuan when he said this. How could he earn a year's money in just half a year?
Is there a lot of work ahead? It looks like there's nothing at all. Who knows what's going to happen?
Later everyone found out that the boss had not lied, and almost two years later, the entire industry suddenly recovered.
Large-scale infrastructure construction is underway everywhere, and skilled workers and manpower are needed everywhere. Due to the shortage of manpower, prices have started to rise.
Labor wages increased a lot, so the workers must have earned more money than before. In addition, there was a lot of work and they often worked overtime, so they did earn a year's worth in just half a year.
Of course, this is all later.
At present, everyone is very skeptical and worried, wondering when this wave of market conditions will pass?
Zheng Qiang was the first to be hit. He had been trying desperately to acquire land in order to compete with Zhou Yuan.
Later, there was not enough money to develop it, so it was delayed.
Zhou Yuan was different. After Zhou Yuan took over the land, he immediately asked a design institute to design it, and then started development.
Generally, it doesn’t take too long. Once the product is developed, we immediately apply for a pre-sale certificate and start pre-sale. With the concerted efforts of all employees of the company, the progress is very fast.
In addition, he has a good reputation, and his house sales are much better than those of others in the same period.
My brother was very lucky. I didn't make much money, but at least I got through this most difficult time.
Although Zheng Qiang got the land, the development was delayed again and again because he had no money and had to raise funds everywhere.
Many people foresee that times will be tough in the future and do not plan to invest, so it is difficult to raise funds.
Without the funds, the project naturally could not be advanced and was consequently delayed.
If they have sufficient funds, they can store the land and not rush to sell it. After this wave is over, they can develop it.
The key is that there is no money, the situation is urgent, employees need to be paid, and the company is facing survival danger.
There is no place to make money anymore, and the only way out is to sell the land in hand.
This was something Zhou Yuan had planned long ago, and it was something he had been longing for.
So when Zheng Qiang called him for help, hoping to take over the land and mobilize the funds.
Zhou Yuan pretended to be helpless and said, "Boss Zheng, thank you for remembering me. Who would dare to ask for land at this time?
You have no money, I have no money, and everyone's life is hard!"
Of course Zheng Qiang knew about Zhou Yuan's situation. They were in the same industry and were also competitors.
They see how someone's company is running.
So now Zheng Qiang regrets it very much, thinking that he was a step slow and ended up being trapped, while Zhou Yuan developed quickly and almost developed all of it and turned it into cash.
Now we have plenty of money and live a wealthy life. Although the company is facing some difficulties, it can generally overcome the difficulties smoothly.
Their lives are much more difficult, as they already have high leverage and their cash flow is very tight.
After this cold winter, the money I had was almost gone.
I have no money, but I have to pay employees’ salaries every month, and I can’t miss out on rent, water, and electricity.
It is said that a penny can kill a hero. With such huge expenses for the entire company, as a boss, it would be strange if I am not anxious.
So Zheng Qiang asked in a pleading tone, "Mr. Zhou, don't I already know your situation? I'm begging you, okay?"
After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
