Zhang Xudong looked carefully up and down the three-story hall, trying to figure out how to renovate it properly.
"Brother Hai, don't touch this floor. I won't use all these offices.
It's just that large conference room needs to be rearranged.
All the conference tables inside were replaced with rows of desks.
A large blackboard should be hung on the front wall to turn this place into a large classroom.
From now on, you will have to take two hours of cultural classes every night.
Everyone should learn to read first, both Chinese and English.
After learning to read, everyone should also learn some professional knowledge and skills.
No one can live a life of fighting and killing.
If they can learn some other skills, even if they don’t work in the security company anymore, they can still find other jobs for their brothers.”
Hu Minghai was moved after hearing Zhang Xudong's words and said:
"Boss, I thank you on behalf of my brothers!
You have been so thoughtful for us.
From now on, the lives of my brothers and me belong to you, and Huaqing will be our home.
From now on, whoever wants to harm you, or whoever wants to harm us Huaqing, we brothers will kill him even if we have to fight to the death."
"Brother Hai, as long as we become stronger and stronger, we can intimidate more and more people.
We work together, and one day, when everyone hears the word "Huaqing",
There is only envy in my eyes, and I dare not have any unreasonable thoughts."
Zhang Xudong instructed Hu Minghai on all the changes needed inside and outside the building, left him some money, and then returned home.
He went to find his second uncle, and seeing that he had woken up, he told him about John's investment and his own arrangements for the guild.
After hearing this, Sima Langyue said:
"Dongzi, I've been busy these past two or three months since you left, but I just couldn't get the job done right.
I am really old and behind the times and cannot keep up with the new situation.
I really don't have the ability to run this Huaqing Company.
This still depends on you. You should be the head of the family from now on, and your uncle will just take care of the logistics for you."
Zhang Xudong smiled and said, "Okay then, we'll each invest $10 million, and we'll split the remaining shares equally."
Sima Langyue certainly agreed to Zhang Xudong's investment, but did not agree with his way of distributing the shares.
After a quarrel between the father and son, Sima Langyue made the decision as the elder.
The two of them each contributed 10 million US dollars, and Zhang Xudong held 50% of the total shares.
Sima Langyue holds 35% of all shares.
Sima Langyue's reason was that not only was this money earned with the help of Zhang Xudong.
The vital essence was also provided by Zhang Xudong, and the entire company's planning was proposed by Zhang Xudong.
Therefore, he needs to take more shares.
Seeing that his second uncle was determined to do so, Zhang Xudong stopped caring about it.
Anyway, my second uncle's 35% stake will be worth a fortune in the future.
After discussing the shares, Sima Langyue breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Dongzi, once I handed this matter over to you, I felt relieved.
I bought a vacant lot in Chinatown, over 60,000 square feet, which is about nine acres. I wonder if it's enough for you?"
Zhang Xudong asked, "Uncle, how much did this acre of land cost? Is there any other land available nearby?"
Sima Langyue said: "We bought commercial land, and the average price of the land was $160,000 per acre.
There are shanty towns all around, and if you want to buy it, the price will be higher, maybe $200,000 per acre."
Zhang Xudong asked, "Are all the people living in the shantytowns there Chinese workers? Do they own the land?"
Sima Langyue shook his head and said, “Most of the people living there came here in recent years.
Most of them paid rent, and the ownership of the land was in the hands of some white people.
Those white people didn't want to live with us Chinese, so they didn't build houses there.
They rented the land to Chinese who couldn't afford to buy houses, and asked them to build shacks to live in temporarily."
Zhang Xudong listened and thought for a while before saying:
"Second uncle, after our Huaqing Building is completed, the surrounding area will also become prosperous.
By then, the price of those lands will be higher.
I want to buy all that land now, but I wonder if they will sell it?"
“They have wanted to sell it for a long time, but no Chinese could afford it.
No white people were willing to buy land and build houses in Chinatown.
If we offer to buy those lands, they should be very happy.
It’s just that resettling those Chinese workers is a problem. They are all our people, and we can’t leave them without a place to live!”
After listening to this, Zhang Xudong thought for a moment and said:
"Let's buy the land there first.
If that doesn't work, buy some residential land, build some tube-shaped buildings and rent them to those people.
Why do I think we still need a construction company?
We have so many fellow villagers without formal jobs, and the construction industry could use a lot of people.”
After listening to Zhang Xudong's words, Sima Langyue sighed and said:
"You, a Chinese youth security guard, haven't even figured out your job yet, and you're already thinking about getting involved in construction.
I can take charge of this construction company for you, but you also need to find some technicians who can read blueprints and carry out construction!
We don't have such talents here, why don't we hire some white people?"
"Uncle, let's try to hire Chinese people in our company.
If those foreigners come here, they will probably become the masters, and we won’t be able to serve them.
I'm going back to Hong Kong City in the next few days and I'm going to recruit some people from there.
Once you've recovered, get moving. You still have to take care of the mess at home."
"I'm going to work on the building design tomorrow. How many floors do you want this Huaqing Building to have?"
Zhang Xudong said without hesitation:
"We want the highest level of earthquake-resistant design, so we can build the floors as high as possible.
If we can build it high enough, we will even have guesthouses, hotels and office buildings.
But we must keep at least three layers for our own use.
The first and second floors facing the street will be designed as shops, and the inside will be designed as sales areas.
Let them handle the other floors and come up with a plan first.
We can find several companies to work on this design plan, and use the one with the best plan.
It seems we must have our own team.
Second uncle, please contact some headhunting companies. We are looking for some managers.
If there was anyone, even the heads of HR and finance would have been contacted as well.”
After Zhang Xudong chatted with his second uncle for a while, he felt that there were more and more things to do.
It seems that I have to go back to Hong Kong as soon as possible.
