Chapter 716: Money, Endless Earnings!
As expected by the Merina authorities, with the development of infrastructure construction on the island of Rio, many companies in Merina have received orders from the construction team of the island of Rio. The raw materials produced by the factory are also constantly arriving on the island of Riou.
The cement orders needed for construction alone have led several state-run cement factories to invest in more machinery and recruit more workers. The happiest thing for the person in charge of the factory was that the construction team paid the bills very quickly.
The only headache for the company undertaking the order may be the strict inspection system of the construction team. Once the construction raw materials shipped to the island of Rio fail to pass the sampling inspection, they need to bear the risk of return, and the corresponding order share will also be reduced.
In this case, even the local employees who are usually very casual in their work are also urged by the enterprise administrator to pay attention to the quality of products. If you reduce the share of orders, it is equivalent to giving up the money you get to other companies!
Knowing that Zhuang Haiyang had arrived on Liu Island with the ship again, Wang Yanming and others, who had moved into the staff town, also gathered at the pier to greet them. Zhuang Haiyang, who had just boarded the boat, also looked a little crying and laughing when he saw this scene.
smiled and said, "Squad leader, what are you doing?"
"Isn't that what the brothers miss you? They all want to come and see what good things you brought this time!"
"Dare you not pick me up, but the supplies I brought, right?"
"Pick it up, pick it up!"
In the face of everyone's ridicule and jokes, Zhuang Haiyang can also understand that these Chinese people who work in a foreign country are indeed extremely suspicious of the taste of their hometown. Every time the fleet came, a large amount of domestic supplies would be brought in.
What made Zhuang Haiyang speechless the most was that among the materials transported, there were a large number of spicy strips. Even the person in charge of the fleet has recently ordered a large number of spicy noodles directly from a well-known spicy noodle manufacturer to meet the needs of the workers on the island.
In the eyes of many people, spicy strips are naturally junk food. But the person in charge of purchasing said very directly: "Boss, a large part of these ordered spicy noodles are supplied to shopping malls on the island."
But you would never have imagined that His Royal Highness the Prince came to inspect before, and after tasting this spicy strip, he would ask us to provide him with a box every week. In his opinion, this spicy strip tastes so good that even the old king loves it!"
Facing the smug expression of the person in charge of procurement, what else could Zhuang Haiyang say. It can only be said that foreigners are interested in food and even snacks from China? There is no resistance. Even if it's spicy? It can also become a popular snack in a country.
Every time the fleet arrives at the port, the supermarkets at the various construction sites? will become crowded. Chinese foods such as spicy strips and old aunt hot sauce? have become the object of procurement by local workers. Even, every time you have to limit purchases.
Some workers make money? Naturally, there is also a place to spend money. Compared to the prices of imported stores in the capital, the prices in the kiosks here are higher. And some time ago? Some security guards found that the workers were reselling the supplies to make a difference.
Got the idea? Wang Yanming was also very surprised: "It seems that these workers are quite business-minded!"
After some consideration, the management team finally made a decision. Local employees who leave the island on vacation can carry imported materials from the island must be limited to a certain range. If not? Many employees will switch careers to become scalpers.
Standing at the entrance of the commissary on the construction site? Looking at the local workers who were carrying shopping baskets to purchase, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "During this time, the business of our commissary should be very good, right?"
"Yes! In the beginning, many workers had just started work and had little money in their pockets. Paid? Tend to take money home with them. Now, some workers who have been working for a long time? I have money in my pocket, so I naturally want to find a place to spend it.
Three construction sites at the moment? Each opened a commissary, what to sell? Most of them are department stores from China. What should the boss know? Melina has a weak local industrial base? A lot of things need to be imported.
Compared with the goods we ship from China, those goods have no advantage in terms of quality or price. In view of this situation, we have just built a staff town, and now we have even built a supermarket!"
Listening to the introduction of the person in charge, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said: "We have done a good job! For local workers, we can provide cheap and high-quality things." For domestic workers, seeing these things will also make them feel that they are not far from home.
In terms of selling price, while ensuring our profits, we also try to pass on profits to workers. You should know that we're not bad for money. It's just that Merina, on the other hand, also needs to remember the corresponding tax declarations and give a little subsidy to the government. ”
"Yes! In fact, the Merina government would love to see that we bring in more cheap and good things! Even the government has invited us to go to a few big cities and open a hypermarket like the staff town. ”
To the surprise of the person in charge, Zhuang Haiyang shook his head very directly and said: "We don't do this kind of thing, let's leave it to others to prepare! Whether it's the royal family, the authorities, or even government officials."
If they want, they are responsible for the construction of the supermarket, and we will pull more domestic goods every time the fleet comes over. While earning some freight, you can also make more contacts. You can't make enough money, you know?"
The elite in charge of business in front of him quickly understood the meaning of Zhuang Haiyang's words, and then said, "Boss, I understand what you mean." I will consult with them on this matter later, and there should be a result soon. ”
As Zhuang Haiyang said, he only runs the business of the island of Rio. As for the business outside the island, it was left to the politicians and businessmen who were good friends with him. It's okay to open a supermarket and give guidance, but definitely don't participate in investment.
When these people make money, they will naturally miss Zhuang Haiyang, and there is no bribery. Everything is done according to business rules, and even if others want to grasp the handle, I believe they can't find any reason.
Next year, the size of the fisherman's fleet will expand again, and the amount of cargo that can be transported at a time will naturally be quite large. For their part, domestic department stores are also happy to open up such a large market and dump more goods into Merina.
After looking at the construction site that is still under construction, Zhuang Haiyang found that the projects are progressing smoothly. Among them, the most important ring road, the main road is basically completed, and the rest is the branch road that passes through all places.
The arrival of a large number of engineering teams has also made the island more popular and vibrant. According to the statistics of the management team, the number of local employees working on the island of Rio has reached nearly 20,000 today, and the collateral impact is even more.
In Wang Yanming's words, once the construction of Rio Island is stopped, I am afraid that many enterprises on Rio Island that are now expanding will also face the dilemma of no orders. Regarding his inference, Zhuang Haiyang still disagreed.
He even said very directly: "Infrastructure projects are never-ending for any country." If the Merina authorities can seize this opportunity to complete the layout of primary industrialization. If there is no order from us in the future, we can also provide national orders.
Just for us to transport trees, many tribes that used to have poor roads are now building roads suitable for vehicles. If the state is willing to invest in building a concrete road, how much construction raw materials will be consumed?"
As far as I know, the government's fiscal deficit seems to have improved a bit this year. But overall, they run a deficit every year!"
"It depends on whether we can make a push next. If it can attract a large influx of international tourists, it will inevitably force the Merina authorities to carry out the corresponding infrastructure. Let these tourists stay longer in Melina.
Compared to our island of Rio, there are not many places suitable for sightseeing in Merina. It's just that a lot of infrastructure construction seems to be relatively backward. You can't even find a place to eat and stay, so how can you attract tourists?"
"Oh yes!"
agreed with Zhuang Haiyang's point of view, and Wang Yanming didn't put this kind of thing at ease. In his words, that's what President Melina needs to think about, so what does it have to do with them?
It's just that it didn't take long for Zhuang Haiyang, who invited a group of senior management executives to dinner, and quickly made the decision to take a vacation in batches. Give all managers two days to hand over their work before they start their vacation.
Knowing that the shortest time was half a month's vacation, many managers were happy: "Long live the boss!"
"When it comes to the Spring Festival, you won't say that. This Spring Festival, I should spend it in China. Therefore, this vacation is also regarded as an early Spring Festival holiday. You can't do this job without people, so you should seize the opportunity.
However, this year, if the management stays on duty, the company can provide round-trip air tickets for family members. The staff town is completed, and your family will come over, and you will not have to worry about having no place to live. It's entertainment, a little less. ”
"That's not bad! With your family by your side, it's actually the same for the Chinese New Year there. Even here, because everyone celebrates the New Year together, maybe the scene will be more lively. At least the local workers seem to be looking forward to it!"
This year's Spring Festival, your planning department will make a good plan and strive to make the Spring Festival more lively, so that more local workers can also participate. Let them also know how lively our Spring Festival is!"
Planning such an event is nothing more than investing more money. For Zhuang Haiyang, compared with the funds invested in the construction of Liu Island, the money for organizing an event is trivial!
When the first high-level executives took the plane to leave with a happy face, the island of Rio did not come to a standstill because they left. In fact, the configuration of the management team is one and two pairs, and one and two people are responsible, which will not affect the work at all.
As the boss and owner of the island, Zhuang Haiyang spends very little time on the island every day. The team members in charge of security gradually knew that the boss, who went out early and returned late every day, ran to the sea in style.
Although every time I see the boss come back, I look exhausted. But when he goes to the sea the next day, Zhuang Haiyang will become refreshed again. This speed of recovery also makes the security team members curious, what is the boss doing in the sea?
