The local people are happy with it; they don't care about compensation, it's just a small amount of money. The main thing is that they can exchange it for food ration coupons, which will ensure their livelihood.
No need to farm; the government provides grain and oil. If you're lucky, you might even get a job as a factory worker.
These are the dreams of so many farmers!
After the 1990s, it took more than 10,000 to several tens of thousands of yuan to change from an agricultural household registration to a non-agricultural household registration.
It varies from city to city; it's called the city expansion fee.
Most of them are people who came from the villages to do business in the city and are unwilling to go back because it is very inconvenient not to have a city household registration.
We need to pay tuition fees for our child's schooling, as well as fees for temporary residence permits. The most troublesome thing is that my wife has to go back to her hometown every six months for gynecological checkups.
This is because they are afraid you will have too many children in other places.
If you can't go back to the Women and Children's Hospital because of work, they will send a car to take you back, and they will cover all the gas and road tolls.
Everything else is negotiable; just pay the money and it'll be fine.
Therefore, people working or doing business in other cities especially need a city household registration. This is how the urban expansion fee came about.
Later on, you can register your household registration by buying a house.
The High-Tech Zone has a lot of land available, and when it comes to land permits, everyone is lining up to voluntarily request land acquisition. There are no holdouts.
Anyone who refuses to relocate is looked down upon and considered crazy; sometimes money can't buy a household registration. Getting one requires connections and favors.
Now that we're handling it for you, we've saved you so much trouble. The expropriation fee isn't even enough to cover the cost of bribes and favors.
With the land and documents in hand, and without needing to pay the initial construction fees in rice, the first and second construction teams began digging trenches to prepare for construction.
These past few years, the first and second-tier construction workers have gotten very rich from the rice (a metaphor for high-level, often corrupt officials), and they have very close relationships with people in the rice-producing infrastructure sector. They invite them out for meals every now and then.
The rice project is settled according to the progress of the work. As long as the work is completed according to the contract, you will be paid a portion of the payment. There is never any delay.
Of course, it must be done after quality inspection.
Those who are first- or second-level construction engineers know the rules of the rice (a metaphor for a high-paying job): even if you start work today and complete 30% of the work on the second day, the money will arrive on the third day.
That's how fast it is.
Most construction companies only charge a start-up fee and site entry fee when starting a project. After that, they might not pay you even if 50% of the work is done. As for the progress payments in the contract, just take a look at them.
Few construction companies that follow contracts are good. They all fall apart in a vicious cycle.
Half a month later, construction began on the staff housing, with five districts starting construction simultaneously, involving the construction of hundreds of buildings—a massive project.
The vast majority of workers were happy after learning about the housing allocation conditions, with only a small number complaining about the unfairness.
Those who complain about unfairness are mostly the poor performers. Normally, if these people still have the same performance after another year, they will be asked to leave.
These days, getting fired or anything like that doesn't do you any good for your reputation.
If they ask you to resign voluntarily and look for another job, when they ask why you didn't work at DaMi anymore, you can make up any reason, such as the environment being bad or you not being able to adapt, to give yourself a way out.
Dissatisfied? What a fuss! Sorry, we can't raise the price anymore.
Pack your things and leave. As for being dissatisfied, you can file a complaint with the labor bureau or go to arbitration, but those systems are still incomplete.
Besides, the relevant departments don't want to get involved in something as big as rice. Rice is currently building employee housing, and they don't have many apartments for their staff anyway!
Many people don't own a house, so the leaders of the High-tech Zone often visit the rice factory and try to get close to Director Li, implying that they want to release a batch of housing units.
Many organizations may not have the capacity to build houses, but they do have some kind of slush fund, which allows them to buy a few houses and distribute them.
Back then, Old Li's factory made promises to many companies that once the new staff housing for the machinery factory was built, they would allocate a certain number of units as a form of exchange.
Factory Director Li chuckled and said, "It's still uncertain how much we'll get. After all, there's still a portion that requires payment. Those who can't pay will definitely have some left over, and you'll have to make up the difference. We'll see, we'll see."
That's how things were handled, but Director Li couldn't make the final decision! He went to report to Xing Baohua.
"Uncle Li, please take a count and see how many apartments are needed. We'll provide a few as a gift to the relevant units. The value will be around 100,000 yuan per apartment, as I mentioned. If they think it's too expensive, then refer to our housing allocation conditions. Our own employees will all be allocated apartments at this price. If they get a discount, it would be unfair to our own employees!"
"If they don't have the money, we can help introduce them to a bank for installment payments, and their company can pay for it."
Factory Director Li understood what he meant. He said he could provide a batch of houses if he spent money, but the price was too high, which was tantamount to a polite refusal.
You should know that the cost of building a house is only ten or twenty thousand yuan, so selling it for thirty thousand yuan feels like the seller is really greedy.
Besides, Xing Baohua is selling a unit for over 100,000 yuan. After all, central Shandong can't compare to those big cities. It's called a third-tier city now, but in reality, we live at a fourth-tier level.
Prices are very low; for a family of four or five, food and drink expenses are only around thirty yuan.
Factory Director Li spread the word, and it resulted in a lot of people from other units criticizing him. "You could buy three houses this expensive! Did you use gold or silver for your 100,000 yuan house?"
Of course, some people buy them after making prior arrangements. As for the master, the level is slightly higher.
The concepts of fully furnished apartments and move-in ready apartments don't exist in this era.
Xing Baohua plans to make the houses, which cost over 100,000 yuan, worth their price, with some being fully furnished and others ready to move in immediately.
Of course, there are different levels. Those who can live in fully furnished rooms are high-level employees, elites, and outstanding staff.
To ensure employees can focus on their work and avoid taking time off to shop at home furnishing and appliance markets, which wastes their time and energy, the rice headquarters will arrange everything for you.
