Chapter 205 Hong Kong Land Auction
As a boss, the skill you must master is to draw cakes!
When a team is just starting out, they need to draw a pie in the sky; when people are not united, they need to draw a pie in the sky; when morale is low, they need to draw a pie in the sky…

The only difference is that some cakes can be eaten and some cannot be eaten, but most of the cakes cannot be eaten. That is, ideals are full, but reality is skinny.

Chen Fan originally wanted to talk about ideals first, but the team’s condition was too bad. After weighing the pros and cons, he thought it would be better to talk about reality first.

Call all the people to the Intermediate Court for a meeting.

There were more than a hundred people standing in the yard, but they were all lazy and did not have the enthusiasm that the working class should have.

Chen Fan didn't care. He looked around and took out a report: "Everyone should know that your relationship is still affiliated with your original unit, but your salary is paid by us."

"This is everyone's salary list in my hand. There is only one copy. Everyone can take turns to pass it around and find out the salary for your position."

Just hand the form out casually and let it pass in disorder. Even if the scene is noisy, Chen Fan doesn't care and lets them discuss however they want.

Chen Fan referred to the income level of similar positions in state-owned enterprises and directly offered three times the salary. This is not just empty talk but real benefits.

In the yard, discussions continued, and employees began to smile. Half an hour later, someone asked Chen Fan, "Is this true?"

Chen Fan smiled slightly and nodded to the man, then he stepped onto the steps and pressed his hands: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Chen Fan. I used to have a nickname, the rogue writer. I think everyone in the office has read my articles."

Hearing this, many people laughed.

Many young people exclaimed in surprise. They have read a lot of Chen Fan's articles, especially "Chen Fan's View of the World", which is most popular among young people.

"This is my daughter-in-law, Xu Jinqiu!"

Anyone who has read "Chen Fan's Collection of Social Commentaries" will remember that this person should be Chen Fan's "legend-like" object.

If you look closely, it is really beautiful beyond words.

"Before introducing the Xu Jinqiu Charity Foundation, I would like to answer everyone's questions first, that is, whether the salary list just now is true and whether it can be cashed."

"Yang Shuqin, Fan Wenfang, Wei Jianbing, please come out for a moment. You are all deputy directors of finance in your original units. Please take a look at the financial status of our fund."

These three are the financial talents that Chen Fan wants.

Originally, only one person was needed, along with a group of financial staff, but Chen Fan was determined to poach people, and if suitable, he would recruit them to work in the company.

The same goes for people in other departments.

Otherwise, why would a fund start up so many people? They were recruited just to make it easier to poach people. Chen Fan even thought about recruiting another batch of people after a while.

Three people came on stage and looked at the fund's passbook. They all opened their mouths wide. There was 3940 million yuan in the account, which was more than many factories.

The exchange rate this year is 1.97, and 2000 million US dollars is exactly equivalent to 3940 million yuan.

At Chen Fan's signal, the three of them loudly announced the amount of money, which caused a burst of exclamations, and also quickly calmed people down. It was no longer like the beginning, when they only felt repulsive.

Chen Fan signaled everyone to be quiet and began to introduce what the "Xu Jinqiu Charity Foundation" does and what everyone will do in the future.

Finally, he emphasized: "I have always believed that only when people's lives are better can they have the ability and energy to help others. By the same token, everyone should get a higher salary."

After a brief introduction, Chen Fan asked everyone to disperse and talk to the heads of each department, who were all deputy leaders of the original unit.

The foundation does not have many departments.

After all, it is a private foundation. Things like a board of directors, an executive committee, a donation department, etc. do not exist, nor are they necessary.

The main departments are the Secretariat, Project Management Department, Finance Department, Publicity Department, Legal Department, Volunteer Service Center, and the most important Supervision Department.

Private charitable foundations use their own money, so Chen Fan has gone to great lengths to supervise it, making sure that every penny is spent effectively.

In the first few days, the charity fund did not have any serious work to do. It just got to know each other, understand what would be done in the future, and the procedures.

From the very beginning, there were two problems that needed to be solved urgently, one was the canteen and the other was the dormitory. These employees were not all from Beijing, and more than half were transferred from other places.

The canteen problem is easy to solve. The front yard of a courtyard with four entrances can be used as a canteen. It is not difficult to hire a few chefs, and it can also solve the employment problem.

Dormitories were more difficult to find, so they stayed in a guesthouse for a few days. Chen Fan vacated a few courtyard houses he had bought before and let the people move in first.

But it's not a good idea to do this for a long time.

Chen Fan thought about it for a while, and went to find Sun Shaojie again. This time, Sun Shaojie was very alert, fearing that this guy would come to cause trouble again, and spoke carefully. "Brother, is it that serious?"

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and knocked on the table: "I really have something good to say about coming here this time. When I asked you for a house before, didn't you mention the idea of a joint venture to develop real estate?"

Sun Shaojie's eyes lit up: "Have you figured it out?"

Chen Fan nodded and said, "I will provide the money, you will provide the people and the land, and we will jointly develop the project. Then we will share the housing, and my share will be used as staff dormitories."

Sun Shaojie was surprised. Can you play like this?
This guy is really generous. He is willing to build a building to provide dormitories for his employees.

However, Sun Shaojie had no reason to refuse such a good thing: "How are we going to get the money? Were we going to take it from the charity fund?"

Chen Fan complained: "I'm not that stingy. I'll get you some more foreign exchange."

"Master Chen, let's be fair!" Sun Shaojie grinned.

"You guys should come up with a plan as soon as possible. I also have a request. We want to build an office building near the community. It will also be included in the plan. We can divide it up then."

After finishing his talk, Chen Fan withdrew.

As for my mood, it is naturally very good. What can I say about the money I invested? As long as I can retain talents, I will not lose money.

Building a house doesn’t cost much these days.

Once an employee has worked for a certain number of years, it's no problem to just give him a house. You can't treat your own people unfairly when running a charity fund.

Well... the premise is that it is your own charity fund and you spend your own money.

Unlike some units, which also think that they cannot treat their own people unfairly, they take the money of caring people and not only enrich themselves, but also often press the "love" to the ground and rub it repeatedly.

By the time all the issues were resolved, it was already the end of November. Chen Fan had deployed all the people and it was time to go out to work. The initial stage was to collect data.

The workload of the Volunteer Service Center is relatively large, and it needs to develop volunteers in selected areas, which is closely related to the subsequent development of the charity fund.

"Chen Fan, am I being too wasteful?"

Xu Jinqiu felt a little embarrassed. He had invested 2000 million US dollars just to establish the charity fund, and then he had to build staff dormitories, which was also not a small amount of money.

"Forget what we said before? The charity fund is to create a good reputation for our family and build a protective shell. How can it be a waste of money?"

Chen Fan pinched his wife's face with both hands and pulled it a little harder: "If anything happens to our family in the future, we can bring you out. You will be a protective umbrella."

"Go to hell, you really take me for a fool."

Xu Jinqiu slapped his hand away and kissed him on the lips. This man really thought she was stupid.

It’s true that building a good reputation is important.

With Chen Fan's temperament, he will spend money, but not blindly, and certainly not spend energy. He is so lazy that he doesn't even bother to manage the company.

After all, it’s all because of myself.

Chen Fan was willing to invest heavily because he liked it and felt a sense of accomplishment. He has been busy with his work recently. He was not so concerned when the investment company was established.

"When you look back in a few years, you will find that the money was well spent."

Chen Fan smiled, hugged his wife, and changed the subject: "I'm going to Hong Kong in a few days, are you coming?"

Xu Jinqiu leaned in his arms and said, "I haven't seen my elder sister and Yuanyuan for two months. I'll stay a few more days this time. I still have to ask for leave from school."

"This trip will take about a week."

"So long?" Xu Jinqiu was surprised. If Chen Fan had no important business, he would usually stay in Hong Kong for two or three days and go there once every half a month.

"Zhou Wenya sent a telegram saying that there will be a land auction in Hong Kong. There are several plots of land in good locations. Let's see if we can get them."

Chen Fan went there to pick up bargains.

There have been a lot of land auctions in Hong Kong in the past two years, and many of them have failed to sell. However, there are still people investing in land with good locations, so there is competition.
