My courtyard shelter

After discussing the business, the dinner ended hastily. Xu's father asked Ma Jun to drive the car back to the courtyard. He still needed to listen to the opinions of his family, especially his youngest son. Read М

Xu Dong was holding Xiaobao in his arms. Seeing his father coming back, he hurried forward and asked:

"Dad, how is the business negotiation going?"

Xu's father teased Xiaobao and said casually: "Let's go inside to talk, don't let the child get sunburned."

After entering the house, Xu Dong handed his youngest son to his wife and made a cup of tea for his father.

Xu's father took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then recounted the details of the dinner.

"Plant factory..." Xu Dong touched his chin and thought.

Plant factory, a key project among national key projects, must have an extremely broad future prospect. After all, with more than one billion yuan in the country, it is not enough to build more plant factories.

"What do you think, should this contract be signed?" Xu's father asked.

"We can sign it, but can you guarantee that you can keep the cost down, Dad?

If we can't make money, we might as well maintain the status quo. At least we can make a million yuan a year, which is not a small amount." Xu Dong answered carefully.

Dad Xu sighed and said, "How can the cost be controlled so easily? Labor wages are the biggest part. How can we reduce this? If we reduce it further, people will run away."

"Can we use machines to replace labor? It's worth spending more money in the early stage." Xu Dong suggested.

Dad Xu said unhappily, "What are you thinking about? We are doing second-hand repairs and rely on skilled workers. Do you still want to drive people away?"

"Can you lower the recycling price?"

"That's even more impossible. The market price is there. If we lower the recycling price, the sellers are not without legs. They won't change to another one, right?"

Xu Dong was completely helpless now, and spread his hands: "Dad, what do you think?"

"I want to give it a try. At worst, I will work for three years in vain. Anyway, my family doesn't lack this little money." Dad Xu couldn't hide his excitement.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Dad Xu nodded: "On the way back, I discussed with Ma Jun that we plan to change the company's sales department to the marketing department and expand the staff tenfold.

Next, we will send all these marketing specialists to the small counties below to run business.

The news in small counties is relatively closed, and even with the freight, the recovery cost is lower than that in the capital."

Dad Xu had this idea mainly because of the previous meat selling incident. The reason why he suffered a big loss was because of the information gap.

"Isn't it too risky to play so big?"

Xu Dong admitted that his father's plan was feasible, but the risk was also not small, after all, the salary pressure was too great.

Dad Xu waved his hand and explained:

"It's not risky. For a team of more than 200 people, as long as one-fifth of them can succeed, they can recover all the losses.

Besides, the unemployment rate is so high now, I think everyone will definitely work hard, and no one wants to go against money."

Xu Dong was speechless. In terms of business, his experience is far worse than that of Dad Xu, and he can't argue with him at all.

"Dad, since you have made up your mind, just go for it. Just in case of losses, you must stop in time."

"You don't need to remind me. I won't joke about our family's future." Xu's father looked very confident.

...

The next day, Xu Dong just arrived at the company and received a photo of the contract signing on the spot from his father. Xu's father smiled happily and looked very ambitious.

The next half month.

Xu's father's work became busier. He often worked overtime every two or three days. Xu Dong almost became his father's exclusive driver and was often ordered to pick people up from the company late at night.

Through occasional chats, he knew that his father's plan seemed to be successful. The company's turnover this month almost doubled tenfold.

The only regret is that the profit did not increase much because of this. The bulk of it was taken away by employees and Qixing Xia Chuang.

On the first weekend of November, Xu's father rarely got off work and went home on time.

Xu Dong was killing a chicken in the yard. He had finally bought this chicken from Panjiayuan and used two boxes of yogurt that was about to expire.

"Dad, why did you come back so early today?"

Dad Xu couldn't hide his smile.

"Third brother, I have good news for you. From today on, the 14th and 15th floors of Jinchang'an Building belong to our company."

"Is your company hiring again?" Xu Dong asked in surprise.

Dad Xu nodded: "We hired 200 new employees today. The original office area definitely can't accommodate them. The landlord happened to have a discount, so we rented two floors."

"Is the rent still paid once a year?"

"Now it has been changed to every three months. After all, the two floors together are more than 3,000 square meters, and the rent pressure is not small." Dad Xu replied.

"Why did you recruit so many people at once?"

"The marketing department is working too hard, and the maintenance department can't keep up. In order not to affect the progress, we can only recruit a group of new people first."

Xu Dong asked curiously: "Dad, how many people are there in our company now?"

"Including me, there are 575 people in total."

Dad Xu has reason to be proud. A few months ago, there were only him and Ma Jun in the company, but now there are more than 500 employees, all of which are inseparable from his hard work.

"Is there a problem with the order from Qixing Xia Chuang?" Xu Dong asked with concern.

The rapid expansion of his own company is completely based on the other party. As long as there is a little disturbance from Qixing Xia Chuang, Dad Xu's capital chain will be broken immediately.

Unless Xu Dong is willing to make a move, the only way out is bankruptcy.

"It's fine. Manager Yuan has called me several times, hoping that we will continue to work hard and strive to double the supply." Xu's father said confidently.

Xu Dong nodded secretly. In the current environment, the country is centered on production, and there shouldn't be any moths at Qixing Xia Chuang.

Dinner.

Xu's father was in high spirits and took Xu Dong to drink a few glasses of wine. Xu's mother rarely stopped him this time. It might be the first time she saw her husband so happy.

"Old Third, we are moving away from the old store. What are you going to do?"

Xu Dong thought about it and shook his head and said, "I still have to go to work here, and I don't have time to open other stores. I can't use it at all. Why don't you use it as an employee dormitory for your company?"

The old store is not far from Jin Chang'an Building, and it takes less than half an hour to take the bus.

"It's okay, but it's a bit too wasteful." Xu's father said regretfully.

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and said, "That can't be helped. The contract has been signed and will not expire until July next year!"

"What a waste of money!" Xu's mother said angrily.

"Gao Ta Tian..."

Da Bao imitated his grandmother's words.

Xu's mother turned from anger to joy: "Haha, my Da Bao is the most sensible. He has been in harmony with grandma since he was a child. He is much less troublesome than your father and grandfather."
