Chapter 400: Latest Developments
There is an old Chinese saying that people don't worry about getting less, as long as others are as little as they are. And if you just get less for yourself, but others get more, then it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among those who profit less.
Needless to say, the news of Lai Xiaohu's land acquisition here will definitely spread throughout Xinshi, especially in the countryside, and everyone will be very concerned about these issues. When the time comes for another project team to requisition land, once the money given is less, those villagers are 100% noisy. In their minds, everyone is expropriated farmland, why do people give us so high, you give us so little, are you deliberately bullying us to be honest? At that time, as long as someone makes a fuss, the construction will be delayed for at least half a year. On this kind of issue, which has a bearing on one's own major interests, the characteristic of not suffering from a small number of people but suffering from unevenness is very obvious.
And even if the other party sets the compensation standard the same as Lai Xiaohu's, it will also cause a lot of criticism. Because their township is a little more economically developed than Xin Town, where Lai Xiaohu is located, the better the economy, the higher the compensation standard for relocation or land acquisition, and their economy is better than that of Xin Town, and the natural compensation is higher than that of Xin Town.
It can be said that Lai Xiaohu has invisibly set up a lot of trouble for them, but they still have to bear all this. Lai Xiaohu's side has already signed a compensation contract, and they have already begun to pay compensation. At this time, it is impossible to regret it, they can only silently bear the disadvantages brought by Lai Xiaohu, and at least set the same compensation clause at that time. And the bad thing is that they can't get everything done in just a few days like Lai Xiaohu, and then start construction immediately. According to their progress, it will take at least another three months to start construction, and now the news that they are going to acquire land has already spread. In the past three months, I don't know how many extra buildings or high-value crops will be waiting for them to compensate.
The speed of payment of compensation is much faster than the speed of construction, and people have always acted faster when it comes to specific financial matters.
After just three days, Wu Ou saw that the funds on the books of the town government had been directly reduced by one zero, and there were only a few hundred million of more than one billion funds left, and these funds would definitely have to be spent in the future. More than a billion dollars of money were almost spent in just three days, which made everyone, including Wu Ou, distressed.
In the land of Lai Xiaohu's village, the 1,000 acres of land specially set aside by Lai Xiaohu at this time have begun to build vegetable greenhouses. This time, Lai Xiaohu leased 50,000 acres of land, but only the core 1,000 acres of land was his most urgent need, because he needed to supply vegetables for the new store that was about to open. Although there are only 1,000 acres of land, Lai Xiaohu will use a large amount of energy crystal nuclei to accelerate the growth of the vegetables grown on these lands.
Lai Xiaohu is most concerned about the matter of this thousand acres of land. As long as this 1,000 acres of land can meet the needs of a large number of newly opened branches in a short period of time, Lai Xiaohu will not have to rush the construction of the remaining tens of thousands of acres of farmland.
"By the way, when the time comes, when this is done, make a fence on the side, the kind that needs to be three meters high. Fence off all the 1,000 acres of land. This will be our experimental site in the future, and it will be within the scope of our key secrecy. After taking a look at the scene, Lai Xiaohu said to the person in charge of the construction team.
"Okay. No problem at all. The other party heard this. He nodded vigorously. Anyway, for them, the more things Lai Xiaohu wants to build, the better, and then they can get more wages, and as for Lai Xiaohu's purpose and use, it is completely out of their consideration.
With the construction of the vegetable planting center here, the fate of the three vegetable bases that Lai Xiaohu had built before was also put on the agenda. In Jincheng, Beijing and Shanghai, three vegetable bases have been supporting the normal operation of more than a dozen branches in the three places. In the past, the vegetable bases in these three places needed to be regularly maintained by Lai Xiaohu every year. But in the future, it will be difficult for Lai Xiaohu to pay as much attention to these three vegetable bases as before. If it weren't for the fact that the energy crystal nuclei of these three vegetable bases still had more than half a year to go, Lai Xiaohu would definitely give up these vegetable bases now. It is impossible to recover the energy crystal nucleus after it is used, so in order not to waste it, Lai Xiaohu decided that the three vegetable bases will be used temporarily. However, after the energy crystal nucleus in this place is used up, Lai Xiaohu will no longer maintain this place, in other words, the three vegetable bases will be abandoned at that time.
"And what about the land and people there?" After learning about Lai Xiaohu's treatment of these vegetable bases, He Li asked. In addition to Jincheng's, even the two vegetable bases in Beijing and Shanghai are also under Heli's command. As the person in charge of the vegetable base and the head of production of Lejia Supermarket, He Li is naturally most concerned about the treatment of these bases.
"Those staff in the vegetable base, you can ask for opinions when the time comes, and if you are willing to work in the commercial city, you can transfer them here. If you don't want to work in other provinces, you can discuss with Brother Yang to see if you can stuff some people in the transportation brigade, if it really can't be solved, then dismiss them, and give them a little more compensation when the time comes. After thinking about it, Lai Xiaohu said.
As for the issue of land, Lai Xiaohu was a little reluctant to give up that land at this time. But if he doesn't give up, he really can't use it, those lands are all farmland, and the nature of use has been restricted at the beginning, and Lai Xiaohu can't do anything else except agricultural planting.
After thinking about it, Lai Xiaohu felt that he didn't need to hold those lands in his hands, and it would be a waste of time for a long time, although he valued the benefits of the future appreciation of these lands, but after all, he still needed to wait for several years, Lai Xiaohu felt that he was now a big business, and there was no need to be entangled in this benefit, so he simply said directly to He Li: "You can see those farmlands when the time comes, if someone has a suitable bid, sell them." ”
At noon, Lai Xiaohu received a call from Yin Shuirou, who has been working there for a week in Anhui Province. After Lai Xiaohu arranged it, Yin Shuirou took her luggage and went directly to Anhui Province by train. After getting off the train, Yin Shuirou originally wanted to go directly to work, but at that time she called the regional person in charge of Anhui Province. On the phone, after the other party learned that Yin Shuirou had just returned to Anhui Province and didn't even have time to go home, he directly told Yin Shuirou on the phone that he didn't need to rush to work, he could go home first to visit his family, and come back after he settled down.
The other party takes care of Yin Shuirou so much, it is naturally for Lai Xiaohu's sake. After receiving Lai Xiaohu's call, the person in charge of the Anhui Provincial Region attached great importance to Yin Shuirou. This is the other party who the boss personally ordered to take care of, how can he not pay attention to it.
And Yin Shuirou, who had the permission of the other party, was naturally not polite, and she didn't even leave the train station, so she directly bought another ticket and went home. However, Yin Shuirou didn't stay at home for too long, and on the day she took it home, after only two days at home, Yin Shuirou hurriedly took a car to the provincial capital of Anhui Province to report.
After meeting Yin Shuirou himself in the provincial capital, the person in charge of the Anhui Provincial Region attached great importance to Yin Shuirou by another level. At first, Lai Xiaohu called her and asked her to take care of one of her classmates. At that time, she didn't think much about it, she really thought it was Lai Xiaohu's classmate. But when she saw Yin Shuirou herself, she only had one thought in her mind, so many classmates didn't let her take care of her, how could it be this beauty.
Lai Xiaohu's affair is not a secret in the company. Seeing Yin Shuirou looking so beautiful, the person in charge of the Anhui Province Region immediately thought that this was probably another boss lady.
Attention. The other party directly asked Yin Shuirou to be his assistant. And considering Yin Shuirou's professionalism, she was also specially asked to be in charge of market issues. Yin Shuirou happily accepted this, she thought that this was specially arranged by Lai Xiaohu.
Although Yin Shuirou went back, the number of phone calls between the two people who couldn't meet increased. Of course, in most cases, it was Yin Shuirou who beat Lai Xiaohu, and Lai Xiaohu was as busy as a dog during this period of time. There is no time for such idle work. However, Yin Shuirou has more time, so the market called Lai Xiaohu to talk about his work.
This time, Yin Shuirou called Lai Xiaohu and told her some interesting things when she was conducting market research. Although she was the assistant to the general manager of the region, Yin Shuirou did not stay in the provincial capital most of the time like the general manager. Although Lai Xiaohu arranged Yin Shuirou into the company, he would not keep Yin Shuirou in the company like a vase. No matter how beautiful a person is. If this person has no ability other than a beautiful face, then Lai Xiaohu will not take a second look. So even if Lai Xiaohu takes good care of Yin Shuirou very much, he also puts forward a lot of requirements for her.
The most important of these is that Lai Xiaohu has been telling Yin Shuirou not to stay in the office all the time, and to seize the opportunity to work at the grassroots level to understand the specific market situation.
With Lai Xiaohu's request, Yin Shuirou declined the general manager's request to let him stay in the office, and personally followed the minister in charge of market development to the following different cities to inspect the market environment.
Anhui Province is relatively not particularly developed economically, and in the national urban economic strength ranking, only the provincial capital occupies a place in the top 40 miles of Anhui Province, which Lai Xiaohu values. However, although the Anhui Province only needs to open a branch in the provincial capital, market research cannot be done only in the provincial capital.
For several provinces like Anhui Province, where only one city has opened a branch in the city ranks, and for these provinces, Lai Xiaohu also put forward special requirements for them in view of their relatively small workload, that is, to focus on spreading the influence of provincial branches.
In short, they need to investigate other economically prosperous cities in the province in addition to the provincial capital, and then select some cities with convenient transportation to the provincial capital and strong economic purchasing power as the focus of future publicity. Although there are no branches in these cities, the personnel responsible for market development and publicity must spread the influence of Roca supermarkets to these cities, especially the high-income groups in these cities, so that they know and be familiar with Roca supermarkets, and guide them to go to Lejia supermarkets in provincial capitals from time to time for consumption.
At the same time, this also has the advantage of cultivating a large group of loyal consumers in these cities, and once one day the Roca supermarket expands to these cities, it will be much more convenient.
When Yin Shuirou went, the market inspection of the provincial capital in Anhui Province had been almost carried out, and the number of stores that needed to be opened and the location of the site had been determined. It is the market city mentioned above to find the key publicity in the future.
This is the first time Yin Shuirou has entered a company to work in a real sense, so it is inevitable that there are many surprises, and when Yin Shuirou is fine, she likes to tell Lai Xiaohu about the interesting things she encountered.
After chatting with Yin Shuirou on the phone for half an hour, Lai Xiaohu hung up the phone. Yin Shuirou's phone call can be regarded as a seasoning for his boring work and life, but he is worried that Zhang Ying will find out about his frequent contact with Yin Shuirou, so every time he hangs up the phone, Lai Xiaohu is a little frightened.
Through Yin Shuirou, Lai Xiaohu can basically understand the work progress of Anhui Province in real time, which is also one of the purposes of his phone call with Yin Shuirou. It's a good idea to combine your personal and professional responsibilities in one.
Now the region of Anhui Province has basically negotiated the storefront, and it only takes a few days to sign a contract to buy the store, and then they can renovate and prepare for the opening.
This time, the number of new stores to be opened in Anhui Province was set at three. This was decided after taking into account the economic strength of the provincial capital of Anhui Province and the purchasing power of the locals.
Economically, Anhui Province is not too prominent, and its provincial capital is not particularly high in the national urban economic rankings. Among the top 40 selected by Lai Xiaohu this time, the provincial capital of Anhui Province is only ranked moderately thick, and the final ranking is only 31st. According to this ranking, it is enough to open only two branches under normal circumstances. It's just that considering that this is the provincial capital of Anhui Province after all, it has a strong radiation capacity. So Lai Xiaohu set the number of branches here at three.
Now the number of branches in the capital of Anhui Province is three. In fact, when they first reported it themselves, they reported five companies. In the beginning, this happened in several provinces. After all, if one more branch is opened, then the power held by this region in the future will be aggravated, so when reporting the number of branches that need to be opened, the first few provinces generally report four or five.
Obviously, this number is too much, and the first few reports are those provinces that only need to open branches in provincial capitals, and there are few cities where they need to open branches. The work of the region is relatively easy, so the progress of completing the task is relatively fast, and it is generally these provinces that are the first to complete the task at each stage. And when they reported the number of branches they needed to open in the provincial capital, they invariably overreported.
In this regard, Lai Xiaohu was very angry in his heart. Every city needs to open a few branches, and Lai Xiaohu actually has a rough standard in his heart. Although he didn't go to the scene to check, after all, it is the Internet era, and Lai Xiaohu fully understands the economic situation of those cities through the Internet. The economic rankings of these provincial capitals are all in the middle or medium thick position in the top 40, and only two or three branches are needed to meet the market demand. Even Shanghai is still five branches, and they dare to open five in these cities, is this going to be Lai Xiaohu's fool or what?
Needless to say, at that time, Lai Xiaohu scolded all the heads of these regions, and then personally decided to set the number of branches in these cities at two or three.
And after Lai Xiaohu's previous criticism, the regions that reported later became honest, and they all knew that the heads of the first few regions were scolded, and no one in the back was unhappy.
After that, the number of branches reported by other regions was basically reliable, which was about the same as Lai Xiaohu's estimate. If there is a discrepancy, Lai Xiaohu will also communicate with the local person in charge, and then delete it appropriately.
In general, some regions have now determined the number and location of branches, and at this time it has progressed to the purchase of stores. However, because of the slightly larger workload in some regions, the number of new stores in individual cities within a region has only been determined, and some cities are still under investigation.
Lai Xiaohu knows that the more the work progress of each region will be different, after all, some provinces are only responsible for a branch in a provincial capital, and the work is much easier. In some provinces, it is necessary to open branches in several cities, so the workload is much greater. So in order to be able to open on the same day as much as possible, Lai Xiaohu has also done a lot of work in the back, and for the provinces where progress is slow, Lai Xiaohu can't be too urging, which will inevitably make everyone lower the quality of work. So he could only share their work as much as possible, and then give them more manpower and a little more authority.
In addition to market visits and store work, personnel recruitment is also progressing rapidly. Progress in this area has been relatively consistent across regions. There are few jobs that need to be recruited in large areas with few cities, but the economy here is backward and there are relatively few talents. In economically developed areas, although there are many points that need to be opened and many positions that need to be recruited, there are talents from all over the country here, and there are more choices when recruiting. Each has its own convenience in this regard, so it is rare to maintain consistency in the progress of work. (To be continued......)
