Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Wang Qiang described the entire reception building from inside to outside according to what was written in the notebook.

The marketing manager also took notes of some important content.

"Mr. Wang, according to your idea, this project is not small."

Wang Qiang laughed and said, "If it were a small project, we wouldn't come to your place."

If you just need some simple repairs, you can just find an outside engineering team to do it.

"That's true. I'll have someone go to the archives and retrieve the original design drawings. With the original drawings as a reference, the designer can work much faster."

"As for how to do it specifically, you are professionals. We can cooperate with you on anything you need. There is no problem for us. There is just one thing: we hope you can move quickly and produce the design drawings as soon as possible. After all, the construction period does not wait for anyone." Wang Qiang reminded.

"That's no problem, Mr. Wang, please rest assured, we will do it as soon as possible."

Wang Qiang stood up and stretched out his right hand: "That's it for now. I'll wait for your news."

"Pleasant to work with."

It was already afternoon when they left the design institute. When Wang Qiang returned to the reception building, Long Xu had already arrived at the Hongyu Labor Protection Clothing Factory located in Taonan Brigade.

Taonan Brigade is the production team closest to Taihe City, and is also one of the first brigades to respond to policies and independently develop collective economy.

The branch secretary of Taonan Brigade is Dong Lei, a technical secondary school graduate who was assigned to work in the city after graduation.

Originally he had a bright future, but Dong Lei, who was only 20 years old, ignored his family's opposition and resolutely returned to Taonan Brigade.

And with the recommendation of the members, he became the brigade secretary of Taonan Brigade.

After the reform and opening up, the country advocated vigorously developing the economy.

In the name of the brigade, Dong Lei established a clothing factory specializing in the production of labor protection clothing.

Since there was no money, Dong Lei took out the only funds in the brigade's account and called on all households in the village to raise funds and invest.

At the beginning, this garment factory only had a few sewing machines and a few female workers.

In this way, step by step, the garment factory has gradually developed from a small workshop to the current large factory with hundreds of employees.

In front of the factory gate, as soon as Long Xu walked in, he was stopped by the old man guarding the gate.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old man was holding a teacup in his hand and had a red armband on his left arm with the word "Defend" written in yellow on it, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Uncle, I'm from the city's reception building. I'm looking for your factory director." Long Xu looked at the old man and said softly.

"Looking for our factory director?" The old man looked at Long Xu carefully, as if he was trying to identify him.

"What do you want to talk to our factory director about?" The old man continued to ask, intending to let the person in.

"Uncle, I can only discuss my matter with your factory director. Please let me in."

Long Xu was patient and spoke to the security guard in a kind voice.

"That won't do. It's my job to guard the factory gate. I can't let anyone in casually. If you don't tell me what the matter is, I definitely won't let you in."

Although the old man has few teeth, he speaks in a loud and clear voice.

Just as Long Xu was about to speak, two people walked past him from behind.

"Uncle Xu, whose girlfriend is this that you asked to stop her from leaving?" The man said to the uncle with a smile.

"This guy is obviously a sly guy. He clearly came for the girls in our factory, but he insisted on lying to me. Director, don't worry, as long as I, Old Xu, am here, no one can get in!" The old man patted his chest and said confidently.

Factory director?

Long Xu looked at the man next to him.

He has a square face, thick eyebrows, small eyes, dark skin, and a ruffian air.

The clothes he was wearing were very ordinary, even a little torn.

You can't tell at all that this man is the factory manager here.

"Are you Dong Lei?" Long Xu suddenly asked.

Dong Lei was also a little surprised: "I'm Dong Lei, who are you?"

"I'm from Fudu Hotel Service Company. The Municipal Party Committee Reception Building is contracted by our company. You have a shop there." Long Xu said.

"Yes." Dong Lei was startled for a moment before realizing that Uncle Xu had stopped the wrong person. He quickly extended his hand: "Hello, hello..."

"I'm really sorry, but we have a lot of female workers here, and men from surrounding villages often come here looking for marriage partners. Uncle Xu mistakenly thought you were one of them."

After Dong Lei's explanation, Long Xu finally understood why the old man was so serious.

The old man also realized that he had misjudged the person and made a fool of himself.

"You really came to see our factory director. Look at what happened. It's all my fault..."

"It's okay, sir. Next time I come over, you must recognize me and don't treat me as a bad guy anymore." Long Xu said with a smile.

"That's not possible. You look like a serious person, young man." The old man turned away, completely forgetting that I had just called Long Xu cunning.

hehe···

After a burst of laughter, the matter was over.

"Let's go in and talk if you have something to say," said Dong Lei.

Long Xu followed Dong Lei into the factory and looked around the garment factory.

Two factory buildings, built side by side, with a row of low houses next to them, were their destination.

"Please come in."

The furnishings in the low room are like a large conference room, and every corner can be seen clearly at a glance.

There is also a small door on the left.

"I haven't asked for your last name yet?"

"My last name is Long, and my given name is Xu. You can just call me Long Xu."

After taking his seat, Long Xu spoke directly:

"I came here this time mainly to talk to you about your factory renting a shop in the reception building."

"After our company contracted the reception building, we planned to renovate it comprehensively. Your shop is on the first floor and is also within the scope of the renovation, so we have to take the shop back."

"You want to take the shop back?"

After hearing what Long Xu said, Dong Lei's face, which had originally been smiling, suddenly became unhappy.

"Our lease hasn't expired yet, and we've paid the rent in full. Even if you're the general contractor, there's no reason for you to take over our shop before the lease expires, right?" Dong Lei said in a deep voice.

The shop they rented was about 150 square meters in size and sold their own protective clothing. The business had always been good, so Dong Lei was naturally unwilling to take it back.

"Director Dong, what you said is all correct. Please listen to me first and then make your decision."

"Okay, you go ahead." Dong Lei straightened up and looked at Long Xu.

"Our company plans to transform the entire first floor into a shopping mall, changing from a dozen or so shops operating individually to a large space with categorized and planned businesses and an integrated business model."

"We eliminated those irrelevant business projects and focused on the major categories of clothing, accessories, luggage, and electronic products."

"Once this mall is completed, it will become the largest clothing retailer in Taihe City. When people want to buy clothes, the first place they will think of will definitely be this mall. The flow of people determines sales. You all, who have run shops, must understand this principle."

"You have one and a half years left on the lease for this shop, and the total rent you've paid is 800 yuan. If you agree to return the shop, we're willing to give you two stalls in our future new mall and give you a % discount on the rent for five years."
