At 8:10 a.m. on Tuesday morning, Xu Xincheng arrived at the office, and today will be another busy and fulfilling day.

Today's focus is on following up, refining and finalizing the design of the staff apartment building, the villa building and the three staff restaurants, in addition to several large purchase orders that need to be finalized as soon as possible.

According to Lucy's requirements, first, materials, and office decoration standards, apartment buildings, staff restaurants and other places used materials must be the highest level of environmental protection materials, the whole process of construction can not produce excessive toxic and harmful substances, after the completion of construction can not be left excessive formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful and toxic substances.

Second, household appliances, no matter how expensive, should be equipped with the company's own research and development products in each apartment building and villa building, such as smart air conditioners, smart refrigerators, etc.; if the company has not developed them, all the best brands of domestic household appliances will be purchased.

Third, furniture, all furniture to find the best domestic reputation and quality of furniture manufacturers customized.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the focus of the work was to follow up on other projects in the industrial park, such as hotels, libraries, hospitals, cafes, Chinese restaurants, etc.

In addition, there is a very important work item, which is the budget for the renovation and decoration of each project, and these plans will have to be finalized next Friday. In order to ensure that there are no problems in the general direction, two weeks ago, Xu Xincheng had instructed the finance team to first come up with a preliminary general budget, and only on the premise that there was no major deviation in the total budget could the total budget be detailed into each project.

In the past two weeks, the four members of the finance team have been busy communicating with the companies, checking and accounting, and they instructed the decoration and home improvement companies to make preliminary quotations for the design plans they participated in the bidding, and let the home appliance companies and furniture manufacturers participating in the bidding come up with customization and procurement plans and preliminary quotations.

Based on the preliminary quotations of all the companies, Xu Xincheng and the finance team made a preliminary general budget, which ended up with an extremely astonishing astronomical amount, with a total budget of 3.7 billion yuan.

At present, the design plan and renovation budget of many projects have not been finalized, so this is only a preliminary approximate total budget amount, and the final amount will fluctuate by about 15%. Moreover, this general budget does not include projects such as fully automated factories, laboratories and research institutes, and security systems for which Lucy is personally responsible.

On Thursday night, at 7:30 p.m., Xu Xincheng knocked on the door of Lucy's office, and when he entered, he saw that Lucy had just finished making a phone call and was putting his phone down.

“Hi，Lucy。 Is it convenient now?"

"Convenient. ”

He walked to the desk, sat down, and said: "The general budget of the New Era Industrial Park has come out, and it is only a preliminary budget now, and the more detailed budget will not come out until next Friday, but I think it is necessary to review this budget for you first, so as to ensure that there are no problems in the general direction of the budget, and then we can further refine it." As he spoke, his voice trembled.

"Good. That's the right way to do it. ”

When Xu Xincheng handed the tablet to Lucy, his hands were trembling slightly, he felt that the budget was too high, it was a figure that was completely beyond his imagination.

Lucy quickly flipped through the information, Xu Xincheng noticed that during the whole process, her expression was always very calm, not to mention frowning like him at the moment, she didn't even tremble slightly.

It took her only about three minutes to read the more than 30-page budget, and then she said lightly: "Although this budget is preliminary, it has been done very well." ”

Xu Xincheng said timidly: "Lucy, will this fee be too high? If it is too high, we can find a way to reduce it a little." ”

"In general, there are no problems. You can try, but on the premise of ensuring high quality and high standards, you can't compromise even a little bit on quality and standards. ”

"Okay. He said timidly.

Lucy heard his uneasiness and said, "Steve, what I want to tell you is, don't worry about the cost. Of our total investment of $20 billion, I have set aside 5% for the basic decoration and layout of the industrial park. Up to 6% can be mentioned if desired. ”

"Oh!"

"The reason why I want to invest so much money to renovate and decorate our industrial park is to provide our employees with the best living and working environment, to create a community environment and working environment for co-prosperity, harmony and harmony, and to let everyone find a sense of security, comfort and belonging in us. ”

Xu Xincheng heard this, his heart was shocked, he has been away from home for five years, in the past five years, he has been going all out to work hard and struggle, one of the most important reasons is that he hopes to one day in the big city of Guangzhou, can find a sense of security, comfort, belonging, can find here "home feeling".

"You mean to create a 'home away'?"

"Not exactly, some companies, especially in China, like to advertise that they want to make the company a 'home' and aim for it.

However, after all, a company is a company, it is not the same as 'home', and it cannot be the same, if it is the same, such a company will not be creative and competitive. The market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and such a company, let alone based on the market to win the competition, will even have problems surviving. ”

"Yes, indeed. It's that I didn't think it through. ”

"I'll talk about this matter so much first, and give you a question to think about, which is a small task, and it is a very important small task. Think about it, in the next few years, what kind of organization do we have to build the company into, what kind of enterprise we have to build into it, in order to gain a foothold in today's market, in order to win the cruel competition, in order to achieve our goals and missions?"

Xu Xincheng was shocked in his heart, he knew very well that this was indeed a very important question to think about, which every company must think about and find the answer. It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most critical issues related to the survival and growth of a company.

However, this kind of thinking question is what the top managers of the enterprise should think about, no matter what, it is not his turn to think, however, he changed his mind, Lucy said this, he should just want to give him an exam question, just want to give him a test, just want to see if he can put forward some opinions and suggestions worthy of her reference.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Okay." ”
