Every company needs a few trusted confidants. Gu Yurou is currently just his company manager. She doesn't owe him anything, and he doesn't owe her anything either. At most, he trusts her, but he can't call her his confidante because their relationship has always been that of employer and employee.
Fang Lin is different. Dong Qing has been kind to her, and he believes she will help him wholeheartedly.
Fang Lin said, "There shouldn't be any problem. I'll submit my resignation this afternoon and give you an answer at my house tonight."
Fang Lin also wanted to leave the bank and find a different job. Working at the bank was too long and not free enough. Basically, she spent the whole day dealing with customers and handling various business.
After get off work, she's either working overtime, attending meetings, or doing training and studying. She spends at least half of her 24 hours a day working, but the salary is pitifully low. Otherwise, Gu Yurou wouldn't have changed careers two years ago.
Dong Qing had been kind to her, and Fang Lin felt she had to quit her job and go to the company to help Dong Qing no matter what she thought about, so she readily agreed.
"Alright, Manager Gu, please tidy up the bedroom and settle in. I'll head back now."
After saying goodbye, Dong Qing and the two left the house.
In the afternoon, Dong Qing walked into the new office building. The new office building was very rational, with each department having its own independent office.
The top floor has the general manager's office, the deputy general manager's office, the manager's office, and the deputy manager's office. Below that are the offices of the department managers.
The company's office area is clearly divided into different levels, and there is no sense of chaos in management after the move. The entire company has entered a standardized management mode.
There are reception rooms, meeting rooms, etc.
Dong Qing walked into the general manager's office, where his second sister, Dong Ermei, was arranging the documents that had just been moved there that morning.
Two brand-new telephones were placed on the desk, one an outside line telephone and the other an inside line telephone.
Dongqing Investment installed an internal telephone system within the company. The company's internal telephone network, along with those of the pig farm, bean product factory, machinery factory, tricycle factory, department store wholesale market, farmers' market, and the company's office building, forms an internal telephone network. All numbers are four digits and can be dialed directly within the company.
The company has professional telephone technicians who specialize in wiring, answering, and repairing telephones within the company premises.
Of course, every company executive has an internal phone line at home, and this afternoon we will be able to connect the internal phone lines to Gu Yurou and Fang Lin's homes.
Chen Hong's family had an internal telephone line. When the line was set up, there were slots for each line, and each line could connect to several phones. All you had to do was run a wire from the junction box into the house to connect a telephone. The telephone technician could get it done in an hour.
When an outside call comes in, the switchboard will transfer it. If you need to make an outside call, the switchboard will directly transfer it to the outside line. The telecommunications company has invested a lot of money in this.
This fully illustrates the growth of a company. In the 1980s, there were really not many companies that invested in installing internal telephone lines in county-level cities.
The company purchased five mobile phones at once: one for Dong Qing, one for Li Yuzhu, one for Dong Ermei, one for Manager Gu Yurou, and one for Factory Director Chen Hong. The other factory directors were not provided with mobile phones.
In those days, mobile phones were very expensive, and not every company leader could afford one.
Communication has generally improved. My sister-in-law, Li Yuzhu, also got a mobile phone this year. Now she can take orders directly and contact customers in a timely manner. With a mobile phone, she can go anywhere without fear. It's so convenient to carry it with her.
Dongqing asked, "Second Sister, how's the recruitment for the comprehensive wholesale market and the agricultural wholesale market going?"
Dong Ermei said, "Especially for the department store wholesale market, we have invested a lot of advertising money in TV stations in other provinces and cities. Recently, we have received a lot of feedback from merchants, and they will come to negotiate and sign contracts soon."
Furthermore, the advertising investment in the wholesale market is particularly large, and the company's funds have been noticeably tight recently. You need to think of a solution quickly, otherwise the cash flow will break down.
Dong Qing said, "I'll handle the funding. How much is the land per mu (unit of land area) here now?"
Dong Ermei asked, "You're not thinking of selling the land, are you? Land prices are rising very fast, already reaching 7,000 yuan per mu. Land prices here are constantly skyrocketing. It would be such a waste to sell the land now."
That's often how it is; the more expensive the land, the less willing they are to sell, which causes land prices to skyrocket.
As the saying goes, old crops are strange; the more expensive they are, the less they will sell. That's the reason; they are hoping for an even higher price.
Dong Qing said, "I know that. There are no plans to sell the land for the time being."
In the 1980s, Dong Qing did not plan to attract foreign investment. The financing plan entered the 1990s. He would only start financing when the land in Pengcheng was developed into an urban area and a large amount of funds were raised to start construction there. Now he can only hold on to it.
Dong Qing came out of her second sister's office and walked into the manager's office, where Gu Yurou was also arranging her files.
Dong Qing took out six thousand yuan from his bag and handed it to Gu Yurou, saying, "Manager Gu, you used to live at the company and didn't need any transportation. You don't even own a bicycle now. Take this money and go home early. Buy a motorcycle this afternoon. Also, tell the telephone operator to connect the internal phone to your home."
Subordinates usually don't refuse benefits offered by their boss. Gu Yurou simply said thank you. The thank you sounded simple, but it warmed her heart.
It's 1987 after all, and 6,000 yuan is no small sum. An ordinary worker would need at least five years to earn that much. If Dongqing didn't get that much money, she really couldn't afford a motorcycle.
Her monthly salary was almost entirely spent on her mother's medical treatment; in this day and age, only one family truly knows the hardships of the other.
After Dong Qing left, Gu Yurou finished organizing the documents in the office, called the telephone operator, gave them her address, and asked them to come to her house to answer the phone immediately. Then she took her bag and left the office.
Gu Yurou indeed doesn't own a bicycle and has to walk to and from get off work.
The mobile phone was too big to fit in her bag, so Gu Yurou had to carry it in her hand as she walked.
In those days, having a mobile phone was a symbol of status. Gu Yurou was beautiful, and carrying a mobile phone on the street attracted a lot of attention, with envious glances from everyone she saw.
In this day and age, it's more stylish and enviable for a beautiful woman to walk down the street carrying a mobile phone.
She walked back to the factory's residential area, where the two telephone operators had already arrived.
They took the telephone line and two telephones off the tricycle and went upstairs with Gu Yurou.
Gu Yurou took out her key from her bag and opened the door.
Fang Lin was at work and not at home, so she had the staff install an internal telephone in the living room and another one in the bedroom, making it much more convenient for her to answer calls while she was sleeping at night.
Then run the telephone line downstairs and open the junction box.
Before answering the phone, you need to find the number. Use the public telephone handset to contact the switchboard, lock the two wires, press the telephone line onto the terminal block, lock the junction box, and go upstairs.
