Chapter 473 Contact
Time passed quickly and it was already the twelfth lunar month. After resting in the hospital for more than half a month, Lu Jianchuan was finally able to be discharged.
Lu's father returned to Shanghai on the day Lu Jianchuan woke up. He had no choice but to go back because he had been promoted to the secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee half a year ago.
Now is the critical juncture for putting things right, and there are some things he has to go back and make the final decision on personally.
The rest of the people went back a little later. Originally, Lu's mother wanted to stay a few more days, but when she saw the young couple being inseparable every day, she felt very disappointed.
Mother Lu just sighed and said, "Well, they should go back early so as not to bother others here."
Lin Siqiao didn't think much of it at the time, but after they returned to the family compound and settled down, she realized that what her mother-in-law said was not an exaggeration at all.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Lin Siqiao always felt that after Lu Jianchuan was injured this time, he seemed to become particularly dependent on her. Not only did he circle around her during the day, but he also had to hold her in his arms before he could fall asleep at night.
Considering that he was a patient and it was winter, Lin Siqiao let him go.
After a heavy snowfall, the temperature gradually began to warm up, and the family compound was officially unsealed on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Thinking that they would be returning to Shanghai in about a week, Lin Siqiao began to arrange the work he had accumulated.
Before leaving Hong Kong City, Lin Siqiao told Li Jiachen and the others that she would call them every half a month or so.
As a result, I lost contact for more than two months, and I had no idea how they were doing with the things I had asked them to do.
Thinking of this, Lin Siqiao drove to the long-distance telephone building early the next morning.
The first person she contacted was Xu Weijie.
Xu Weijie also read some of the news about what happened in the mainland, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried because there was no news about Lin Siqiao for two months.
"Boss, is everything going well over there?"
Lin Siqiao did not hide it. "There was a small problem, but it has been resolved now. How about you? How are you doing recently?"
After a few pleasantries, Lin Siqiao asked about the terminal operations.
Before leaving, she specifically told Xu Weijie two things, the first of which was the traffic problem near the dock.
The road conditions in the port city are relatively good nowadays, but the road conditions in the suburbs are not much better than those in the mainland. If there is a typhoon or rainy day, large transport vehicles will not be able to enter and exit the port at all.
Therefore, this has also affected the business of the port to a certain extent.
How could the other port managers not know such a simple truth? However, road construction is usually funded by the government.
The wharf is not profitable to begin with, so who would be willing to pay out of their own pocket to repair it?
Besides, there are not many containers entering and leaving the port city every day. What’s the use of building a good road if no one comes?
Xu Weijie has no right to control what others think.
Anyway, that's what Lin Siqiao ordered, so he just has to do it.
"Boss, we got the approval for the road construction last month. Now the construction team has started. It is expected to be officially open to traffic in June this year."
Lin Siqiao nodded. This speed was much faster than she had imagined.
"So how is the construction of the harbor rest room going?"
This is the second task that Lin Siqiao assigned to Xu Weijie. This rest room is similar to the airport service area near the airport. The only difference is that all the services here are free.
These days, those working in the ocean shipping industry, from the boss to the crew, actually earn much more than people think.
To put it bluntly, they are not short of money, but who can resist the temptation of free things?
In later generations, these were common means of attracting customers at the docks, and Lin Siqiao’s main focus was just on the information gap.
Now, by spending a little money, you can make Huaxing stand out among the many docks. This deal is still very cost-effective.
So she not only wanted to build it and make it free, but also let everyone in Hong Kong know about it.
When Xu Weijie heard that Lin Siqiao wanted to do it for free, he actually refused in his heart.
After all, the company still owes the bank more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in loans.
Building the road here will cost a lot of money. If we also provide free food and accommodation to the crew, it will be difficult to sustain with the current revenue capacity of these two docks.
However, Lin Siqiao was particularly persistent on this matter.
In addition, Li Jiachen kept brainwashing him, and Xu Weijie was assimilated unknowingly.
The current situation is that the advertisement has been released.
One third of the main part of the port lounge has been built. If decoration is included, it will take about June or July to be completed.
Speaking of this, Xu Weijie remembered something.
"Boss, last month the port city government sent someone to negotiate with the company. They want to buy the wasteland near the dock. As for the price, they are willing to pay 30% more than the previous transaction price."
"Oh, next time you encounter something like this, just tell them two words: No sale!"
He wants to buy her land worth tens of billions by increasing the price by 30%. What is he thinking?
After saying almost the whole thing, Lin Siqiao hung up the phone, and then she contacted Li Jiachen again.
There's nothing wrong at the head office.
However, Li Jiachen reported a good news to Lin Siqiao, that is, this year not only is there a bumper harvest of pineapples in Hawaii, but the vegetable farms in California are also in abundance.
So far, the company has earned more than 5 million US dollars from retail sales alone.
This is not the most important thing. What is important is that Hawaii’s island agricultural tax subsidy has been put on the agenda.
Butler Bill asked around and found out that the subsidy rate here is much higher than that in California.
Including the money from California, Li Jiachen estimates that the company can get at least tens of millions of US dollars in tax subsidies this year alone.
Lin Siqiao was naturally happy about the sudden increase in income. In her work, she was always clear about rewards and punishments. She would not deduct a single cent from what the employees deserved.
Look, when the employees on the other end of the phone learned the specific amount of their year-end bonus, they were so happy that they almost blew the roof off.
Lin Siqiao covered her ears with a smile. After the employees calmed down, she gave Li Jiachen a few more instructions.
Ask him to transfer the dividend money from Hong Kong City and various embassies as soon as possible.
Li Jiachen nodded, "Got it, boss."
"Okay, that's it."
All the company's affairs have been arranged, and Lin Siqiao breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, she went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the performance report she had prepared.
