Revival Road

Chapter 22 The Property Market and the Book Market II
Golden Olive has existing houses with all five certificates, but they are all above the sixteenth floor.My mother has a fear of heights, so the floor is not ideal, but the price is acceptable, not to mention Yanjing's bizarre house price, it is Binjiang, the average price has already exceeded 4000 yuan, and the sales lady quoted a price of [-] yuan, which made Tao Tang feel relaxed.

Accompanied by the sales lady, Tao Tang took a look at the environment of the community. It was not bad, not worse than his community in Binjiang.The floor area ratio of Golden Olive Community is relatively generous, and the greening is also considered good, especially the comprehensive building and private garden exclusively for owners, which makes him very satisfied.The European-style complex has a gym, a chess and card room, and restaurants of high quality.My mother, who likes to play cards to pass the time, has a good place to go, and the old couple is quite comfortable strolling in the garden after dinner.

Tao Tang interrupted the sales lady's endless sales promotion, "I want a set below the fifth floor, if you don't have one, forget it."

"Then you wait a moment, you can have a cup of tea first, the weather is hot enough today." The sales lady managed to catch someone who seemed to really want to buy a house, how could she let her go so easily.

Ten minutes later, the sales lady came back, "Sir, there is a large apartment in Block C that meets your requirements...it is on the fourth floor, would you like to see it?"

"How big is it?"

"166. The house type is definitely good... Shall I show you?"

"The area is a bit big...well, let me take a look."

After seeing it, he decided to buy it.Three bedrooms and two halls, with a storage room that can be transformed into a cloakroom.It is better to have a larger apartment size. When the parents come back, there will naturally be more family gatherings, so a larger apartment size is more suitable.Only daily cleaning is difficult, but that's not a big problem.

"The structure of the house is not bad, but there are a few points: first, the unit type is east, which is not ideal; second, the owner of this building has already moved in, which has brought trouble to the decoration; third, the underground parking space is gone. ? This is also a problem..." Tao Tang said slowly.

"What's your name, sir?"

"My name is Tao."

"Mr. Tao is not a local, is he?" The sales lady listened to Tao Tang's very standard Mandarin, "We prefer the side set here. To tell you the truth, the price of this house was increased because there was an extra second guard." The windows are well ventilated, and there is an extra balcony. This house has actually been sold, because the original owner had to check out because of some problems at home. Decoration? There is no problem at all, our company has a professional decoration company, We promise to let you move in as soon as possible. As for the underground parking spaces, I need to find out. You see, there are many parking spaces on the ground, which is very convenient. Renting one is even more convenient. It only costs 240 yuan per month, and only 8 yuan per day. "

"If I buy the house in full, how much discount will I get?" Tao Tang interrupted the girl's chatter.

"Full payment, you can get a 96% discount." The sales lady was visibly happy.

"Is it less? In fact, you made a mistake. I am a native of Hiraizumi. I will not accept your discount." Tao Tang picked up his handbag as if to leave.

"My authority is so great. If you really want to buy it, sir, I will ask the leader for instructions."

"Well, I have to think about it, let's talk about it." Tao Tang knew that there was no rush, and it was only a few thousand dollars more.

"Then you leave a phone number? This is my business card."

"Okay." Tao Tang took the business card handed over by the girl, and reported his mobile phone number to the sales lady.The girl didn't seem to believe it, so she called immediately, and she was relieved when she heard Tao Tang's cell phone ring.

In fact, there is no one to discuss, the right to decide is yours.I decided to buy a house for my parents a long time ago, of course in Hiraizumi, and now I finally have the conditions.Tao Tang looked at his watch, it was still early, and asked the sales lady who sent him out: "Do you know where the biggest bookstore in the city is?"

"Isn't Mr. Tao from Hiraizumi? Why do you still ask this?" The sales lady said with a smile, "everyone from Hiraizumi knows about the Baita Road Book Market."

"I'm really from Hiraizumi, from the Red Star Factory, but I've been out for many years."

"Really? I'm a child of Red Star, that's even better." The girl immediately crawled over.

"Since they are all Red Star people, then you can get more discounts for me, and I will take the house." Tao Tang smiled, left the Golden Olive Sales Department, raised his hand to stop a taxi, and went to the Baita Road Book Market.

The sales lady who claimed to be a child of the Red Star was right. The bookstore on Baita Road is really big enough. The three-story building with a strange structure is densely packed with bookstores that can be discounted. Tao Tang suspected that they were all pirated copies. A few, I think the quality of the books is okay.Moreover, the book market has obvious classifications.So he found several professional bookstores that he liked, and finally, he selected a few hardcover notebooks of Tang and Song Dynasties and two books on economics, and prepared to pay after careful inspection.

"It's really you? Mr. Tao, hello." A girl in a red shirt beside me called out in surprise.

Tao Tang was stunned for a moment, he didn't know this charming looking girl.

"My name is Chen Yan, and I'm the secretary of the factory office." The girl introduced herself.

"Oh... are you here to buy books too?"

"I have nothing to do on Sundays, I like to go to the book market to kill time... These are all the books you chose? I didn't expect Mr. Tao to like history... "Shui Shui Jiwen", written by Sima Guang?" Chen Yan saw that Tao Tang bought all history and Economic books, including an English version of "Internet Age", her English is not very good, and it is impossible to read such original foreign language books, "Oh, Mr. Tao is so amazing."

Tao Tang didn't answer the call, paid the bill, asked for the invoice, and said to Chen Yan: "I'm leaving, you can choose slowly."

"Wait, I'm fine too." Chen Yan chased after him, "Mr. Tao, can I take your car back to the factory?"

"I came by taxi. That's fine, let's go together."

"Taxi? Why don't you need a car? Don't you have a special car?"

"Why do you need a car?" Tao Tang stopped a taxi with his hand, and got into the back seat habitually. Chen Yan followed with the book she just bought, and Tao Tang had to give way.

"Red Star Factory." Chen Yan said to the driver, "Ah, Mr. Tao, are you okay?"

"It's okay, go home. What major do you study?"

"G University Chinese Department... Mr. Tao, why do you want to conduct a questionnaire survey? Do you want to know what the employees think?"

"That's right..." It is estimated that Chang Wenhai handed over the task of compiling the questionnaire to the general manager's office (the company does not have an independent party committee office), and Zhang Xingwu handed it over to this little Secretary Chen, "Secretary Chen, just want to ask May I ask you, as a young employee, what is the most concerned issue right now?"

"The first is of course looking forward to a salary increase. If it wasn't for the low salary, I wouldn't bother to go to graduate school."

"How much is your monthly salary?"

"2200, at the current price level, how can I spend it?"

"Are you a factory boy?"

"No. If only it would be fine, you can go home to make a living. Mr. Tao, you can eat in the big cafeteria, and you will see immediate results. The food is much better. The singles are looking forward to your frequent supervision."

"How much is enough for food every month?"

"At least eight or nine hundred... This is us girls. There must not be enough boys. They have a lot of parties."

"Oh. Have there been many college students coming to the factory in recent years? Are there many job-hopping?"

"A hundred or ten people come every year, right? At least a third of them run away within two years. Unless you talk about someone..."

"Then, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Not yet..." Chen Yan actually has a boyfriend she likes, but she didn't say anything.

"Oh. Besides salary, what else do you care about?"

"Of course it's a house. How can you get married if you don't have a house? Right? By the way, Mr. Tao, I heard that the factory will be relocated?"

"I haven't heard of it. How much would it cost to buy a medium-sized old building in the factory? Can I buy it?"

"Since the rumor that the factory will be relocated, the price of the old house has risen immediately. It is difficult to buy, but it is easy to rent."

"Oh. What do the workers think about the relocation of the factory? Are you willing?"

"Support it, why not support it? Of course there are some who don't support it. They think the environment of our factory is good."

"So, do you think relocation can solve the company's problems?"

"You asked too profoundly, I never thought about it..."

"You can try to think about it. You work in a factory, have more contacts with leaders, and attend more meetings. You should have a broader horizon than grassroots college students. Secretary Chen, the company is not a company run by one person. Only when everyone cares, can the company be successful. develop……"

"Okay. Can I report to you directly after I think about it?"

"of course can."

While speaking, he had reached the gate of the factory, and the driver was unwilling to enter, so Tao Tang had no choice but to get out of the car, and stopped Chen Yan who wanted to pay, "There is no reason to ask you to pay."

Look at your watch, it is a quarter past eleven, and there is still some time, "I'll go to your bachelor building to have a look."

"That's great... I've been in the factory for almost three years, and I haven't seen the company leaders come to inspect the bachelor building yet."

The single building is not far from the east gate of the factory. It is a four-story brick-concrete building. Because it is Sunday, the building is relatively quiet. There is a small sports field in front of the building. There are more than a dozen young people active. One group is playing basketball. , another group is playing badminton.

When Tao Tang entered the building, the light was a little dark, the sanitation was poor, and cigarette butts were everywhere.Tao Tang entered the bathroom on the first floor, and couldn't help but wave his hand to fan the stale air.

"The sanitation is too bad, what happened? Is there someone who cleans it?"

"Yes, clean up about once every two or three days." Chen Yan, who was waiting in the corridor, said.

"Which floor do the girls live on?"

"Of course it's the top floor. Mr. Tao, please come and visit my dormitory. Please don't criticize too much." Chen Yan has an outgoing personality and has no fear of Tao Tang.

"It's inconvenient. I know young people like to sleep late. How many people live in the dormitory?"

"There were originally three, but one just left."

"Is there a TV?"

"Where is it? There is a public TV on each floor, and there are always fights for it."

"What about WiFi? Is it convenient to surf the Internet?"

"good."

"Is there a reading room?"

"Yes, on the third floor. But there are too few books and magazines."

"Where is the laundry room? Is there a public laundry room?"

"No."

"What about taking a shower? How to solve it?"

"Go to the big bathhouse."

"Xiao Chen, this is your home. You should take the initiative to improve the hygiene. I see that you are all well dressed. How can you have such a strong tolerance for the environment?"

"There are always people who don't realize it..." Chen Yan was a little embarrassed.

Tao Tang smiled gently, turned around and left the corridor, and came to the side of the badminton court.

"Secretary Chen, someone from home brought you delicious food?" shouted a small boy watching the match from the sidelines.

"Don't talk nonsense! This is our new chairman and general manager, Mr. Tao is here to visit you."

The singles suddenly panicked.

"Playing with you. I just came to see you." Tao Tang smiled and looked at the young people on the field.

"Mr. Tao, come and play?" A young man who was playing just now handed over the badminton racket.

"I didn't change my shoes."

"Can I wear mine? It's a new one today." The young man immediately knelt down and untied his shoelaces.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try." Tao Tang took off his leather shoes, handed over his jacket, phone, keys, books, etc. to Chen Yan, and put on the young man's brand new Li-Ning sneakers.

"Who's coming?" Tao Tang stretched his lower back.

"I, I'll play with you." Another tall young man snatched the badminton racket. His name is Meng Fan, and he is recognized as the number one player in the single building.

Meng Fan didn't expect that the new Mr. Tao would be good at this skill. The first serve showed his skills, and the placement was extremely tricky. He was a little careless and tried to rub the ball up. Too late to react.

Immediately came cheers from the sidelines.

The next performance was wonderful, much more exciting than the pair just now, it was a bit quasi-professional, and there were many rounds, especially Tao Tang's handling of the near tennis, which made the college students watching the match shout and applaud .

"I didn't expect Mr. Tao to be so powerful..." Chen Yan murmured.

Tao Tang's niece Wu Xiaowei was sent by her mother Tao Meiling to pick up her uncle. A young girl answered the phone, saying that Mr. Tao was playing in the single building.Xiaowei ran over and saw that uncle was really playing badminton.

"Oh, oh, come on, uncle." Xiaowei slapped her hands vigorously to encourage Tao Tang.

After playing for about a quarter of an hour, Tao Tang succeeded in taking advantage of the opponent's powerful smash and ended the game, "I am willing to bow down! The young man played well! What's his name?" Tao Tang stretched out his hand to the opponent.

"Meng Fan, Mr. Tao, you are the master, and your skills are much better than mine. If there is a formal competition, I may not win." Meng Fan said with a smile.

"Haha, I am Cheng Yaojin's three-handed axe. After a long time, my physical strength can't keep up." Tao Tang looked at his watch, "I won't delay everyone's dinner."

"Mr. Tao, I hope you will visit the cafeteria often...Mr. Tao, this is a rare opportunity, please tell us a few words." Meng Fan invited.

"Then, let me criticize you a few words. Just now I took a quick look at the next floor, and the sanitation is too poor. The management of the property company must not be in place, but the single building is not the property, but your home. Can you Can't we organize the singles, take turns to be on duty, and manage our own nest?" Tao Tang said to the singles who gathered.

"Okay! Follow Mr. Tao's instructions." Meng Fan immediately expressed his opinion.

"If it's done well, I'll withdraw the cleaning of the single building, and the money saved will be used to improve the conditions for you, such as adding books to the reading room, such as renovating the shower room and laundry room on each floor, do you think it's good? ?”

"Of course. Mr. Tao really set up a shower room for us?" Chen Yan was overjoyed.

"Look, my hair is half gray, how dare I lie to you?" Tao Tang smiled.

"Long live Mr. Tao!" Chen Yan cheered, and the boys and girls applauded.

"Haha, it's really childish..." Tao Tang wiped off his sweat, "There is one more thing. The factory will send out a questionnaire next week. Everyone has it. I hope you will take it seriously. Secretary Chen can introduce you to the specific situation. You can also write what you want to say but not on the questionnaire. I will see it.”

"President Tao, your relatives are looking for you." Chen Yan handed over the items that Tao Tang gave him just now.

Tao Tang saw Xiao Wei.

"Xiaowei? Haha, I'm a big girl. I don't know her anymore. Let me introduce to you, this is my niece Wu Xiaowei. Let's go, goodbye." Tao Tang waved to the singles and took Xiaowei's hand gone.
