As word spread, Han Yixian's apartment designs gradually became known, revealing that the family-oriented units included separate kitchens and bathrooms. Everyone who heard about them longed for such spaces, dreaming of living in a spacious, bright, and fully equipped home.
Therefore, the dormitory building has attracted much attention since its construction began.
During dinner, Liu Gang brought up the pharmaceutical factory's discussion about the dormitory building.
He Yuhan said, "It seems that no matter what era, people value houses very much. Many people believe that only by owning their own house can a home be considered a home."
Gu Qishen said, "Judging from the room layouts you mentioned for the dormitory building, the cost of building it must be much higher than expected, right? After all, the building area has increased considerably."
Han Yi nodded and said, "That's for sure. But the pharmaceutical factory has a lot of land, so building more dormitories won't hurt. Although it may seem a bit extravagant now, the young, single employees will get married and have children in the future, and if the housing is too small, it will quickly become overcrowded. That's also a destabilizing factor. I'm thinking about the future."
Another common problem in tenement buildings is that people often cook in the hallways, which are already quite narrow and are often cluttered with various household items, especially cooking stoves. This poses a significant fire hazard. My current building design eliminates this problem; nothing will be allowed to be placed in the hallways.
The pharmaceutical factory is now profitable, so funding isn't an issue. This dormitory building is part of the factory's assets.
Upon hearing Han Yixian's statement, Gu Qishen laughed and said, "You're absolutely right. Nowadays, there are no restrictions on the number of children people can have. If they keep having children one after another, in less than ten years, this two-person household can become a large family."
Han Yixian said, "Labor and material costs are cheap now, so building more dormitories and providing better living conditions will attract talent. This factory needs talent to continue operating. I'm just planning ahead."
Once the dormitory buildings are completed, our pharmaceutical factory can fund the county to build kindergartens, schools, etc., as long as the children of our factory employees are given priority in admission. This will not only solve the living difficulties of our employees but also save money for the county and create employment opportunities.
Gu Qishen nodded and said, "Your idea is forward-thinking. I'll have them learn from your pharmaceutical factory when they build dormitories and other facilities at the machinery factory. The machinery factory is doing very well now. If they can't pay the workers higher wages, they can improve their living conditions. It will also attract talent. Your idea is excellent. I'll talk to them about it later."
"But since your pharmaceutical factory is funding the construction of schools, why don't you build them yourselves? Wouldn't that make management easier for you, and make it more convenient for your employees' children to attend school?"
Han Yixian said, "If these public facilities are all managed by pharmaceutical factories, they are likely to become an inescapable burden for pharmaceutical factories in the future, so we must prevent this from the beginning. It is not a good thing for a factory to have a lot of complicated departments; it may drag down a company."
Gu Qishen listened and pondered for a while before nodding and saying, "What you said makes sense."
