Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

“Our conditions here are a bit harsh, but don't worry, everyone, this is only temporary. The company has currently taken on a large order worth over 10 billion. Once the money arrives, we'll build large buildings and repair the roads. Eventually, whatever they have outside, we'll have here too.”

Xiong Xu walked along, comforting the employees behind him.

Everyone remained silent, focused on walking. It wasn't that they didn't want to acknowledge Xiong Xu, but the road was too rough. A slight misstep could lead to a twisted ankle.

“Chairman, I've always wanted to ask a question. Why didn't you put the company's office location in the city?”

Sun Zecheng walked shoulder to shoulder with Xiong Xu, asking in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.

Xiong Xu pondered for a few seconds and said, “I want to change this place.”

These were Xiong Xu's true feelings.

From a young age, Xiong Xu had dreamed of transforming Shan Xiong Village and developing it into a metropolis. However, after going to college, he realized that this idea was like a pipe dream, as difficult as ascending to heaven, and he gradually forgot about it.

But with the binding of the development system, coupled with the smooth acquisition of 1.2 billion in agency fees and 1.8 billion in orders during this period, this dream unconsciously resurfaced from the bottom of Xiong Xu's heart.

Having this dream again, Xiong Xu no longer considered it a pipe dream. He felt that it could be done, and it was precisely because of this that Xiong Xu decided to place the office location in the village.

Because placing the office location in the village could attract high-quality external population to Shan Xiong Village and increase the consumption power of Shan Xiong Village, Shan Xiong Village would form a virtuous cycle. Fewer people would leave, and more people would come in, and it would gradually develop.

Placing the company's office location in Shan Xiong Village is the first step, and also the most crucial step, in changing and developing Shan Xiong Village.

“Looks like you're also an '养成' (raising) player.” Sun Zecheng chuckled softly.

Xiong Xu didn't deny it.

If Sun Zecheng was an enterprise 'raising' enthusiast, then Xiong Xu himself was a rural 'raising' enthusiast.

“Let's work together, and hope we can both 'raise' successfully.” Xiong Xu said with a smile.

Sun Zecheng smiled but didn't speak.

More than ten minutes later, Xiong Xu led everyone to the foot of the mountain on the west side of the village. Then, they walked a short mountain path of seventy to eighty meters and reached the top of the hill.

Several prefabricated houses were located on these dozen or so hills.

“We'll be... working here from now on?”

“I'm suddenly regretting it a bit.”

Looking at the rocks under their feet, the simple prefabricated houses, and the uneven, winding mountain road, the new employees muttered to themselves. The female employees who valued refinement even felt regret and had the urge to drag their suitcases and run.

This environment was unsettling even for Sun Zecheng, let alone the new employees.

Those who knew would know that they were working here.

Those who didn't know would think they had come to the mountains to herd sheep.

Xiong Xu noticed the changes in everyone's expressions and knew that the environment was indeed poor, so he said, “Everyone, please bear with it for a while. I won't let you suffer for nothing. Before we move away from here, everyone will receive an environmental allowance of 2,000 yuan per month.”

2,000 yuan environmental allowance?

Everyone immediately felt that this place was quite good and that the chairman was quite generous.

“Chairman, how will we solve the meal problem?”

A girl named Zhao Lili asked.

“During this special period, I will send someone to deliver meals to you on time every day. You just have to wait on the mountain for someone to deliver them. The meals will also be free of charge. Before we move away from here, it's all-inclusive.” Xiong Xu said generously.

In difficult times, if you want to retain talent, you can only do so by providing benefits.

Everyone showed satisfaction.

If it was all-inclusive, then the monthly base salary + full attendance + food allowance + environmental allowance would amount to 13,000 to 14,000 yuan per month. And since there was no place to spend money here, one could save at least 10,000 yuan a month.

Thinking about being able to bring over 100,000 yuan home for the New Year, Zhao Lili and other new employees couldn't help but feel motivated and full of energy, and they no longer felt that the environment here was so harsh.

In the following time, Xiong Xu took everyone to the dormitory building, which was located on a mountain behind. Everyone walked another section of mountain road to get there.

When they arrived at the dormitory building, Xiong Xu assigned rooms to everyone. The boys lived upstairs, and the girls lived downstairs, one person per room, all single rooms.

Because it was a prefabricated house, there were no conditions to build a bathroom on the second floor. Therefore, except for the bathrooms in each room downstairs, there were none in the rooms upstairs. Boys needed to go to the public bathroom on the first floor to shower.

Arranging for the girls to live downstairs was also a consideration.

“The women stay here, the men come with me to move furniture.”

After allocating the rooms, Sun Zecheng led five male employees to the truck at the entrance of the village to move things. Xiong Xu also went and called the able-bodied people in the village to help move.

There were too many things.

Beds, tables and chairs, computers, wardrobes, bookshelves, printers, landline phones, and a series of furniture and appliances.

“This is the invoice. I bought 15 beds, 15 wardrobes, 15 sets of desks and chairs, 15 sets of office desks and chairs, 15 Huawei desktop computers, 2 printers, 10 landline phones, and 4 smart water dispensers, totaling 100,000 yuan. Please reimburse me.”

While a large group of people continuously moved things to the company's office area, Sun Zecheng stood at the entrance of the village, took out a stack of invoices, and handed them to Xiong Xu.

Xiong Xu took the invoice, glanced at it briefly, and then directly transferred 100,000 yuan from the company account to Sun Zecheng, reimbursing him in full.

“This is the fastest reimbursement I've ever had.”

Sun Zecheng received the bank transfer SMS and said with a smile.

Xiong Xu put the invoice in his pocket and looked at Sun Zecheng, asking, “Do you have any ideas for your next step of work?”

Sun Zecheng heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said, “Let's get the hardware right first. Tomorrow, I'll contact the telecommunications company to pull a few broadband lines over.”

“I checked the wires in the office area. The wires are too thin and can't support the daily electricity consumption of the office area. I also checked the bathrooms in the dormitory. There are only water pipes, but no faucets or anything. So, the next step is to first get the basic facilities of the network, water, and electricity right.”

“After the basic infrastructure is done, we will build our company's own official website, and then establish the customer service department, finance department, and procurement department.”

“After doing these things, Shan Xiong Breeding Company will be officially on the right track!”

After listening to Sun Zecheng's oral report, Xiong Xu nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand, and patted Sun Zecheng on the shoulder, “Work hard, I have high hopes for you.”

“Don't worry, boss, even if it's not for you, but for the 'raising' plan, I will work hard.” Sun Zecheng said with a smile.

Xiong Xu yawned and suddenly remembered, “What about the labor contracts for these 15 people?”

When the company adds new employees, the labor contracts must be uploaded to the Administration for Industry and Commerce to change the company's headcount data. At the same time, the labor contracts are also needed to purchase five social insurances and one housing fund.
