Chapter 341: Room Allocation
Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin did not go out for a honeymoon after they got married. In that era, there was no such thing as a "honeymoon". Even travel marriages only became popular in the mid-to-late 1980s. Nowadays, people get married by holding a lively wedding banquet at home and then taking a few days off.
Rowling didn't know that her tape had come out. Luo Yang and Song Yuanchao had already listened to her tape, and Song Yuanchao spoke highly of Rowling's tape.
Rowling has a great voice, and her voice is very recognizable. With the guidance of that teacher, she made rapid progress. It is no exaggeration to say that this tape is carefully crafted.
Except for two songs provided by Song Yuanchao, the rest were carefully selected by Pacific Company. Both the songs and the performance methods are very suitable for Rowling's style. Moreover, compared with the original singer, Rowling's performance is not deliberate imitation, but has its own distinctive characteristics.
If nothing unexpected happens, this tape will be a big hit. According to the news from Pacific Company, it will be officially launched in a week. Song Yuanchao believes that it won’t take long after it is launched, and many people across the country will know Rowling’s stage name - Xia Ye.
The day after their wedding, Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin went back to their parents' home as per custom. Then, taking advantage of the fact that the National Day fell on a Thursday, they went to several scenic spots near Yanjing for two days. On October 5, the first Monday after the National Day, Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin ended their wedding leave and returned to work.
As soon as he arrived at the office, all of Lin Yuhang's colleagues who met him along the way congratulated him enthusiastically. Lin Yuhang also smiled and took out the wedding candies he had prepared long ago from his bag and distributed them to everyone.
Everyone was eating wedding candy, and someone even asked with a smile when they could eat Director Lin's wedding eggs, which caused good-natured laughter to be heard all around.
Because I was handing out wedding candies along the way, I arrived at the office much later than usual.
After entering the office, Lin Yuhang first cleaned it with a rag. There was a thin layer of dust on the desk as he hadn't been there for a few days. After wiping it, he boiled a kettle of water and made a cup of tea. He just sat down and was about to look at the production statistics of the past few days, but before he could take a closer look, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, and the factory director and two deputy factory directors came in.
"Haha, you guys came at the right time. Come, come, my wedding candy, everyone can have a share. By the way, Old Lu, please help distribute this package of wedding candy to each office later. There are also a few packages of wedding cigarettes. Come, take a package each." Seeing them coming, Lin Yuhang stood up with a smile and took out the wedding candy and cigarettes that he had prepared long ago from his bag.
"Congratulations!" The three of them smiled and bowed to congratulate Lin Yuhang. Director Lu took the big bag of wedding candy on his own initiative and said that he would distribute it to everyone later.
"Do you have something to talk to me about? Come and sit down..." Lin Yuhang handed the wedding candy in his hand to Director Lu, and then took out a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes.
You have to smoke wedding cigarettes, even Deputy Director Gao, who doesn't smoke much, lit one with a smile.
"How is it? I've been away from the factory these few days. Is everything okay?" Lin Yuhang asked with a smile while smoking.
"There is no problem with production. Products are still in short supply and demand is still far from each other. Everything is good, not just slightly good but extremely good." The older Deputy Director Yan said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good. I was planning to go to the workshop to take a look later and then meet you guys after that. I didn't expect you to come first." Lin Yuhang breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was his wedding vacation, Lin Yuhang was still thinking about the factory's affairs when he was at home, fearing that some problems would arise in the factory when he was away. Now Deputy Director Yan's words made him feel relieved.
"This is all thanks to you, the factory director. If you hadn't come to our factory and carried out drastic reforms, how could our factory be so prosperous today?" Director Lu of the factory office flattered him with a smile, and the two deputy factory directors nodded repeatedly.
Before he could finish, Lin Yuhang waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. The factory is not good just because of me. If it weren't for you, Lao Gao, Lao Yan and everyone else's cooperation, I wouldn't be able to use my abilities. And Lao Lu, as the director of the factory office, you are the steward of our factory. The whole factory depends on you to coordinate. The three of you are all heroes of our factory!"
Lin Yuhang's words touched the three of them, but also made them feel a little guilty.
After all, when Lin Yuhang first came, the three of them had doubts about whether Lin Yuhang could turn the tide. However, they were different from the previous factory directors and secretaries. As old employees of Factory Eight, they did not have any background. Although they knew that Factory Eight was getting worse day by day, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to stay in Factory Eight.
In addition, Lin Yuhang, the factory director and secretary, is too young. You should know that the oldest leader in the factory, Deputy Director Yan, is already in his early fifties. Compared with Lin Yuhang, who is less than 30 years old, he is more than 20 years older. He is inferior to Lin Yuhang in both age and qualifications.
When Lin Yuhang took office, he first reorganized the Eighth Factory. Although no one directly opposed or opposed this decision, the cooperation of these three people was limited. Moreover, when Lin Yuhang proposed to use the only funds in the factory, including the money obtained through loans, to invest in warm cup packaging products, they raised doubts at the factory meeting, but finally it was reluctantly approved because of Lin Yuhang's determination.
But no one expected that Factory 8 would become a big hit with its warm cup packaging products, thus allowing Factory 8 to get out of the mud and begin to get rid of the terrible situation it was facing.
But later, even though the warm cup packaging was obviously very good and the product was selling well, Lin Yuhang suddenly decided to stop selling the warm cup packaging, abandoning this promising product in one fell swoop. Instead, he used all the money he had worked so hard to earn to invest in ginseng royal jelly, a new product with an unknown future.
They all strongly opposed his opinion, it is always better to make products that are familiar to you than to make new ones. Why not continue to work on the good products when you have them? Why spend so much money on ginseng and royal jelly? Isn't this a risk? If the new products don't work and the old products are replaced by others, then the Eighth Factory, which has just recovered, will fall into the same predicament as before.
Deputy Director Yan's opinion can be said to represent the thoughts of many people in the factory at that time. Many people did not understand Lin Yuhang's real intention. Although Lin Yuhang finally forced through this decision and directly stopped the production of warm cup packaging and switched to the more adventurous ginseng royal jelly products, there were many people in the Eighth Factory who were not optimistic about this.
I will not repeat what happened afterwards. Factory No. 8 luckily escaped the disaster, and its new product, ginseng royal jelly, became extremely popular in the national market. The entire factory worked overtime around the clock to produce the product, but still could not meet the demand. As truckloads of products were sold and payments were deposited into the factory account, Factory No. 8 made huge profits from this product, and the entire factory received tangible benefits.
Thinking back to everything that had happened before, whether it was Deputy Director Yan, Deputy Director Gao, or Director Lu, they all felt extremely ashamed, and at the same time they were full of admiration for Lin Yuhang.
"You came here today...?" After chatting for a few words, Lin Yuhang finally remembered the business and asked.
"Oh, that's right. Didn't you talk about building a house before National Day? The plan has been drawn up. Would you like to take a look?"
"It's out? So soon?" Lin Yuhang was a little surprised. Looking at the smiling faces of Director Lu and the two deputy factory directors, he immediately reacted. Building houses is a big deal. The Eighth Factory hasn't distributed houses for so many years. Now the Eighth Factory finally has money. Since the factory meeting has decided to build houses for employee benefits, everyone naturally hopes that it will be done as soon as possible.
Lin Yuhang took the plan from Director Lu and took a closer look. The plan was well done and the address had been chosen long ago. In fact, this piece of land was allocated to Factory No. 8 many years ago, but Factory No. 8 had no money so the house had never been built. By the time Lin Yuhang took over, there was no need to worry about building a house. The money in the factory account might not be enough to buy some cement to pave the ground, let alone build one.
The area for building the house is not very big, with enough space to build two tube-shaped buildings. The design was completed several years ago, but it has not been implemented due to lack of funds.
However, this time Lin Yuhang directly overturned the previous design of the tube-shaped building and adopted the design of a new type of public housing. In his opinion, if you want to build it, you have to build it better. Although the tube-shaped building is practical , it is somewhat inconvenient in life. Moreover, the Eighth Factory is not short of money now, so of course you have to choose a better one.
The new public housing design chosen for this construction is two new six-story public housing buildings, which are two stories higher than the original four-story tube buildings.
There are four households on each floor, connected by a semi-open corridor. The corridor is in the middle, with two households on the east and two households on the west.
The four units have different layouts. The units at the east and west ends are small two-bedroom units with kitchens and bathrooms inside. The about ten square meters larger than the two units at the east and west ends.
The areas of the four suites range from 47 square meters to 68 square meters respectively. Together with the public area, each floor is about 265 square meters. The entire apartment is very neat, and the independent doors and windows are much better than the previous tube buildings.
There are two buildings, one with 24 households, for a total of 48 households. There is also a garden on the first floor. Of course, the area of the garden cannot be very large, only about ten to twenty square meters, but such a structure is already very good in this era.
Lin Yuhang looked at the plan carefully, nodding slightly as he read. After he finished reading, he asked, "This plan is good. Have you calculated the cost? How much is it?"
"I've already asked the design institute about this, and it's about 130 yuan per square meter," Director Lu replied.
Lin Yuhang did some calculations and concluded that based on this cost, the investment to build both buildings would be just over 400,000 yuan. This amount of money was nothing for the current Eighth Factory. Moreover, building buildings in the north had to take heating issues into consideration, so the construction cost was relatively higher than in the south. If this building was built in the south, the construction cost per square meter would probably be less than 100 yuan.
