Chapter 18 Company Vision
In the real world, Lin Ruoyan was already hypnotized after reading just two pages of the vernacular version of "Zizhi Tongjian," so she went to her study and found a Kangxi Dictionary for help. After all, the original text contained many uncommon characters, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to read it all, and even if she did, she wouldn't know what they meant.
Maybe her son also used this hypnosis? She read a few pages, and she didn't know if her son was sleepy, but she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes at all.
She had originally planned to wait until her son was asleep so she could figure out how to spend more money the next day or the day after, but ended up falling asleep in a daze. It's not good for her son to be too smart. At five, his bedtime reading is "Zizhi Tongjian." In a few years, she might not even be able to read him a bedtime story.
The next morning, Lin Ruoyan had breakfast with her son and went into the city alone.
The owner of the large courtyard house flew back from abroad and arrived last night. However, in order to save time, he arranged to meet in the morning to complete the transaction. If all goes well, he will fly out of the country that night.
So she also actively cooperated with the owner's time. With Qin Shuang's assistance, they followed the same method and completed the contract signing and transfer procedures in the morning.
The homeowner had originally insisted on a 100,000 yuan discount. After all, it was rare for a buyer like Lin Ruoyan to pay in full cash. He had no idea that Lin Ruoyan had a daily spending limit, so how could he afford to pay less for the courtyard house? After much persuasion, Lin Ruoyan suggested adding a clause to the transaction contract, stipulating that the homeowner would be responsible for the disposal of any interior furniture left in the courtyard house, so the payment could not be reduced.
The owner had only visited the house once after reclaiming it. Born in the countryside where his father had been sent to forced labor, he had never lived in the courtyard and held no attachment to it, nor did he believe the shabby bricks and tiles held any value. It was now a desolate place, and he hadn't planned to take anything from it. He was more than happy to have the buyer help him clean up the mess.
Lin Ruoyan thought that adding this sentence was legally appropriate. It could not only satisfy her desire to spend an extra 100,000 yuan legally, but also make the homeowner feel at ease and not lower the price any further.
Unexpectedly, the homeowner felt really bad and secretly paid off the entire 120,000 yuan agency fee. Originally, in this era, the agency fee was paid in half by both the buyer and the seller. Lin Ruoyan accidentally spent another 60,000 yuan less and had no choice but to give the agency fee to Qin Shuang in a big red envelope.
How could Qin Shuang, who had just joined Miss Lin's company, dare to accept it? This was a year's salary for a regular white-collar worker, so he refused it no matter what.
So the seller and the agent were very satisfied with the transaction, only Lin Ruoyan felt lost. How could there be any money that could not be spent? Forget it, Qin Shuang had become her employee anyway. She would give him a higher salary and a monthly bonus, so she could always make up for the money she didn't spend here.
When it came to the issue of salary, she had to start thinking about the company's vision.
During lunch, Qin Shuang mentioned that she'd been trying to improve the real estate company's structure the previous day. She could handle the usual departmental staffing arrangements, considering there were so many real estate companies both domestically and internationally to reference. The only thing Qin Shuang wasn't sure about was her boss's expectations for the company.
This vision is actually the core of corporate culture. With this vision, company regulations, employee handbooks, etc. can be developed without deviation.
Lin Ruoyan thought about it and it made sense. She had to make it clear in advance what kind of company she wanted. So after lunch, she took Qin Shuang to a high-end cafe, ordered the most expensive coffee and snacks, and started talking about this matter.
Qin Shuang was very professional and took out a notebook and a recorder to take notes, making it seem like he was interviewing a big shot.
Lin Ruoyan thought about the vision of the real estate company she worked for. It was beautifully written, and while the core idea was about the blessing of working 996 or 007, it was very appealing. She didn't think she was good enough to come up with something similar. It was indeed a brain-intensive task. Should she let her assistant do it? She just needed to explain her philosophy clearly.
So she asked seriously, "Have you ever thought about finding a job that pays well, has minimal work, is close to home, where you can get off work on time, have Saturdays and Sundays off, don't have to work overtime on statutory holidays, and if you need leave, it will definitely be approved, and your salary won't be deducted?"
Qin Shuang nearly dropped his pen and notebook in shock. This...wasn't it a working man's dream company? But, this was clearly just a dream. In reality, it was probably only possible for highly profitable, industry-monopolistic state-owned enterprises like tobacco and electricity, right? Could this be Ms. Lin's vision for her company?
Lin Ruoyan said: "Yes, I hope my company can give employees this feeling. Although it is not easy to guarantee something like working close to home, I will try my best to meet other requirements."
"So, we are really a real estate company?" Qin Shuang stayed up late yesterday to read the articles of association of many real estate companies, especially those of well-known domestic real estate companies. It seems that all private companies have a single day off, only working hours but no off-get off work time. Business trips are eager to squeeze out the employees' pitiful personal time, forcing you to get up early and go to bed late to meet the requirements of arriving at the business trip location on time during working hours.
But after thinking about it, Qin Shuang also understood that the company's vision is a beautiful fantasy that employees need to work hard to realize.
Only bosses who can paint a rosy picture can attract people, and everyone will work together to achieve that goal. As for how many years it will take to achieve it, that's another matter. If the company's performance is truly so good that everyone can earn money without doing anything, like some large state-owned enterprises with resource monopolies, then of course they can work from nine to five, read the newspaper, drink tea, and take time off whenever they want.
"I understand." Qin Shuang wrote quickly and did not raise any more objections to this question.
Next, Lin Ruoyan needs to give clear instructions on the setting up of the department.
Lin Ruoyan thought that since she had rented an entire floor of offices of almost 1,500 square meters, she had to at least fully equip all the departments of a real estate company. The human resources, finance, and logistics that a regular company would have were definitely there, as well as the development department, cost department, design department, engineering department, and sales department that a real estate company would have.
However, a serious real estate company wouldn't have established so many departments before acquiring land. At most, they'd have a title, often a bare-bones department head. How could they possibly have so many people working in the design, engineering, and sales departments before they even acquired the land? As for the HR department, why would they even have one if the president already had an assistant?
A design department might be needed before and after acquiring land, so the engineering department might only need a director with engineering expertise. The sales department might even consider seeking free advice from the sales company. During the book's time, professional sales companies were commonplace, saving real estate companies money compared to hiring their own staff. Furthermore, these companies often provided free upfront project advice to secure future sales contracts. With a more professional sales company that also included planning, the client could even avoid the need for a design department.
A real estate company is just being established, and who knows if it will fail after just one hit. If it doesn't make money, you can't afford to support your own sales department. An external sales team with professional sales and planning services is no match for them. The sales company already has a clientele, so they can just assign a few of them to your project.
However, this streamlined structure wasn't what Lin Ruoyan wanted. How could such a small staff consume the high human resources she had anticipated? She was determined to establish all the above departments, ideally recruiting them within a week and starting to pay salaries this month.
