Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi stabilized the rear area and then prepared to go to the UK for a business trip.

Mainly three things.

First, divorcing Shi Jinglin and going directly to London would be more efficient than entrusting a lawyer to handle the entire process.

Second, the new season of European football has begun. Manchester United has undergone major changes, including a new head coach. Under the new generation, Boss Zhou has reason to support Klopp on the spot.

Third, Manchester United was severely cheated by Tottenham on the transfer of Modric, asking for at least 5 million euros more in transfer fees.

Zhou Buqi didn't intend to let Levi take advantage of this matter. If he refused to give in, he would have to fight for it himself.

Why not go to Tottenham's youth training team and find some good prospects?

Players in the youth training team also have contracts with the club, but it is not a formal professional contract. It is easier to poach people. You can directly pay the players a high salary and then pay a liquidated damages of hundreds of thousands of pounds, and the poaching is successful.

Before leaving, there is one more thing to take care of.

Because this time I went to the UK, I planned to take a new person out to see the world. This is a good thing and a way to train employees. Ability is often closely related to vision and knowledge.

However, there are a total of 9 new young and beautiful secretaries. How to choose?

Someone is interested.

One girl even called Sun Wanran to inquire about the big boss's preferences in beauty. The meaning was self-evident, that is, she was recommending herself.

The most important thing is that this girl is the youngest of the nine secretaries. She is only 19 years old this year. Her name is Li Shuruo. She is a junior intern and is currently studying broadcasting and hosting at Communication University.

Although he is young, he is not timid.

Zhou Buqi didn't know who this Li Shuruo was at all. He just knew that the new batch of little secretaries were all of high quality. They each had their own merits, and each one had countless charms.

He planned to go back to the company to meet her, and then criticize and educate her. At such a young age, don’t think nonsense and do all that nonsense!

Back at the company, Ning Lu came over to report, "I recommend you to meet someone."

"well."

Zhou Buqi sighed, and he could only force himself to do good things, so let's meet her.

Two minutes later, Ning Lu came over, with two people beside her.

Vice President Guo Dan and another young girl.

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled.

Shocked!

Isn't it?

Is this Li Shuruo?

Are you kidding me?

Her appearance is too average. In my impression, among the new batch of secretaries, there is no one with such low looks... She also has an average figure. She is wearing a secretarial uniform, but there is really no three-dimensional appearance.

Sun Wanran quickly added that it was Guo Dan's secretary Zhang Yiqiu.

"oh."

Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more at ease. He entertained them warmly and everyone went to sit down in the small reception room. There must be something serious to discuss.

After sitting down face to face, Guo Dan said softly: "The rental subsidy policy launched by the company is very good. I have received feedback here and the response has been very enthusiastic. However, this kind of thing treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, the housing problem for employees is very difficult."

Guo Dan turned to look at Zhang Yiqiu, "Tell me about your personal experience."

"Then..." Zhang Yiqiu looked at the big boss cautiously, "Did I say that?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Okay, let's analyze it together."

Zhang Yiqiu said: "The house I rented before was a one-bedroom apartment of less than 60 square meters. The building was more than 30 years old. The wires, water pipes, and wooden floors were aging. As long as you stepped on the floor, you would make a squeaking sound. But it’s close to the company, so I rented it for 2,400 yuan last year.”

"This is expensive enough."

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly.

This Zhang Yiqiu is Guo Dan's secretary. Her monthly salary is about 8,000 yuan, and one-third of her salary is used to rent a house. Fortunately, the company has launched a housing subsidy policy that can provide some help.

Zhang Yiqiu continued: "However, I usually get off work late, so the wooden floor attracted complaints from my neighbors. They all mocked me, saying that young people today have a chaotic life and do not let others sleep at night, which is a lack of social ethics."

"Are you from the old capital city?"

"Um."

"This kind of old building is quite troublesome. Even the kitchen and bathroom are shared." Zhou Buqi has seen some of them and understands them fairly well.

Zhang Yiqiu nodded lightly, "Yes, when I moved in, I found that the environment there was very bad, so I spent more than 1,000 yuan to have someone paint the walls, remove the mold spots on the walls, and buy new ones. The furniture...well, it's all second-hand. But I don't have much money, and I really can't afford to replace the floors. Then in April this year, I started looking for a house and wanted to move out."

Ning Lu was very emotional about this, "No young person can rent a house with a smile."

She was so touching.

After she graduated from college, she quickly went to bed with the big boss. One of the important reasons was the house. She was fed up with living in the small rented partition.

Sun Wanran provided her with an opportunity, so she moved in to live in an apartment with her, and then naturally ended up with the big boss. Then, she and Sun Wanran moved directly from the apartment to the big boss's house.

Fortunately, judging from the results, it was quite satisfactory.

This Zhang Yiqiu obviously does not have such good luck.

"Yes, I have to look for a house next. The price of renting a house has increased a lot this year. My budget has also been adjusted to 3,000 yuan, but I still can't find a suitable house. There are many houses. As soon as I walk into the corridor , there are damp and dim corridors, uncleaned stairs, and messy wires half hanging from the ceiling.”

Zhang Yiqiu looked very sad.

Guo Dan explained: "The price of renting has risen sharply this year, mainly due to the impact of group buying, and many start-up companies have emerged around it. Every additional company will give second landlords and intermediaries one more reason to increase prices. Not only Housing prices, and even prices in nearby restaurants, cafes, and movie theaters, have gone up.”

Zhou Buqi now had a deep understanding.

No wonder Spotify plans to build a headquarters campus in Stockholm, but is boycotted by local mass demonstrations. No wonder Ziweixing plans to build a headquarters campus in Queens, New York, but encounters collective opposition from local labor unions and residents.

Having large companies settle there can indeed bring vitality to the local economic development.

However, the high income and consumption of large companies will also cause serious damage to the normal life of the local area, and may even cause many elderly people who have lived in the area their whole lives to leave and live elsewhere.

Ziweixing's headquarters park was chosen in this location, connecting the Zhongguancun Electronics Park that is separated from the north to the south in Chaoyang, turning it into a unified, overall large science and technology park that can be managed synchronously.

This is a good thing.

The effect was immediate. In the past few years, at least hundreds of technology companies were born here. Similarly, it has also had a great impact on daily life here.
