My Courtyard Refuge

Rapid Expansion

After discussing the business, the dinner ended hastily. Dad Xu asked Ma Jun to drive the car back to the courtyard. He still needs to listen to the opinions of his family, especially his youngest son.

Xu Dong was holding Xiaobao in his arms, and when he saw his father came back, he hurried forward and asked:

“Dad, how’s the business going?”

Father Xu teased Xiao Bao, and said casually, “Let’s go indoors and talk, don’t get the child sunburned.”

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

Dad Xu took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then explained in detail what happened at the dinner.

“A plant factory…” Xu Dong stroked his chin and thought.

The plant factory, a key project among the national key projects, will definitely have a bright future. After all, there are more than one billion plants in the countryFactories are not enough.

“What do you think, should this contract be signed?” Father Xu asked.

“It’s okay to sign, but Dad, can you guarantee to keep the cost down?

If you can’t make money, it’s better to maintain the status quo. At least you can make a million a year, which is not too little. “Xu Dong replied after deliberation.

Father Xu sighed and said, “The cost is not so easy to control. The wages of labor are big. How can this be reduced? If it is lowered, all the people will run away.”

“Can machines be used instead of labor? It is worth spending more money in the early stage.” Xu Dong suggested.

Dad Xu said angrily: “What are you thinking? We do second-hand repairs and rely on skilled workers. You still want to drive people away?”

“Can the recycling price be lowered?”

“This is even more impossible. The market price is there. Let’s lower the recycling price. It’s not that the seller has no legs, so he won’t change?”

Xu Dong was completely at a loss now, and spread his hands together: “Dad, what do you think?”

“I want to give it a try. At worst, I will work for three years for nothing. Anyway, the family does not lack this little money.” Father Xu couldn’t hide his excitement.

“Have you made up your mind?”

Dad Xu nodded: “I discussed with Ma Jun on the way back, we plan to change the company’s sales department into a marketing department, and expand the staff tenfold.

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

The information in the small county is relatively closed, and even with the freight, the recycling cost is lower than that of the capital. ”

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

“Isn’t it too risky to play so big?”

Xu Dong admitted that his father’s plan is feasible, but the risk is not small, after all, the wage pressure is too great.

Father Xu waved his hand and explained:

“It’s not a risk, if a team of more than 200 people succeeds, all the losses can be recovered.

Besides, now that the unemployment rate is so high, I think everyone will definitely work hard, and no one wants to struggle with money. ”

Xu Dong was speechless. His experience in business was far worse than Father Xu’s, and he couldn’t speak to him at all.

“Dad, since you have made up your mind, let go and do it, but if you lose money, you must stop in time.”

“You don’t need to remind me, I won’t joke about our family’s future.” Dad Xu seemed very confident.

…

The next day, as soon as Xu Dong arrived at the company, he received a photo from his father of signing the contract on the spot. Xu’s father smiled happily and looked full of ambition.

the next half month.

Xu’s father’s work has become even busier. He often works overtime every three days. Xu Dong has almost become his father’s special driver, and he is often ordered to pick up people at the company in the middle of the night.

Through occasional chats, he knew that his father’s plan seemed to have succeeded, and the company’s turnover this month had almost doubled tenfold.

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

On the first weekend of November, Dad Xu came home from get off work on time.

Xu Dong was killing a chicken in the yard. This chicken was bought from Panjiayuan with great difficulty, and he used two boxes of expired yogurt.

“Dad, why did you come back so early today?”

Dad Xu couldn’t hide a smile on his face.

“Third brother, I have good news for you. From today, the fourteenth and fifteenth floors of Jin Chang’an Building belong to our company.”

===Section 68===

“Your company is hiring again?” Xu Dong asked in surprise.

Father Xu nodded: “Today we recruited 200 new employees at once, and the original office area must not be able to accommodate them. It just so happened that the landlord had a discount, so we simply rented two floors.”

“Is the rent still paid annually?”

“Now it has been changed to pay every three months. After all, the two floors add up to 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 to reserve.”

Xu Dong asked curiously, “Dad, how many employees does our company have now?”

“With me, it’s 575 people.”

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

“Is there any problem with the order from Qixing Xiachuang?” Xu Dong asked concerned.

The rapid expansion of his own company is entirely based on the other party. As long as Qixing Xiachuang’s side is a little troublesome, Dad Xu’s capital chain will be broken immediately.

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

“Well, Director Yuan has called me several times. I hope we will continue to work hard and try to double the supply.” Father Xu said confidently.

Xu Dong nodded secretly. In the current environment, everything in the country is centered on production, and there should be nothing wrong with Qixing Xiachuang.dinner.

Xu’s father was in good spirits on happy occasions, and took Xu Dong to drink a few glasses of wine. Xu’s mother did not stop him this time, and it may be the first time to see his wife so happy.

“Old man, we are going to move out of the old shop, what are you going to do?”

Xu Dong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, “I still have to go to work here, and I don’t have time to open other stores. I don’t need them at all. Why don’t I use it as a staff dormitory for your company?”

The old store is not far from Jinchangan Building, and it takes less than half an hour to take a bus.

“It’s okay, but it’s a bit too wasteful.” Father Xu said regretfully.

Xu Dong smiled wryly: “That’s nothing to do, the contract has been signed, and it will only expire in July next year!”

“It’s a waste of money!” Mother Xu said angrily.

“Cakes are sweet…”

Dabao learned from grandma’s words.

Xu’s mother turned her anger into joy: “Haha, my eldest treasure is the most sensible. He has been with grandma since he was a child, and he is much more worry-free than your father and grandpa.”
