Although the Citroen CX20 sedan is definitely one of the most popular cars in this year, comparable to the later generations of pickle girl artifact Ferrari, which is enough to arouse the envy of most little girls, Xiang Dongfang is obviously not among them.

What she cares about more is actually the mysterious "big event" that Cao Zhiqiang said before.

Fortunately, she didn't let her wait longer, and soon she saw the "big happy event" in Cao Zhiqiang's mouth.

"W-what's this?"

Looking at the small board house in front of him that was painted red, the whole was boxy, and large glass windows were installed on three sides, Xiang Dongfang frowned, obviously he couldn't understand what this red square board house was used for.

"Well, this is called the Little Red Room." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"Little Red House?" Xiang Dongfang blinked, "It's really red." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Okay, the little red house is actually just a nickname, the real name of this thing is called a convenience kiosk!" ”

"Convenience kiosks?" Item Oriental repeated.

"That's right, Convenience Kiosk!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang began to briefly explain the situation of this convenience kiosk.

In fact, the convenience kiosk that Cao Zhiqiang built is a newspaper kiosk.

As early as the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang found that there were already many self-employed bookstalls in various parts of the capital, but they were all open-air stalls, most of them were set up on the ground with burdens, and the better ones were just multiple three wheels, and then set up a folding bed to set up a stall.

This kind of open-air vendor is the mainstream, and as for the newsstand that was common in the previous life, you can buy magazines, snacks, and phone calls, you can't say that there is none, and there is almost none.

Not to mention the newsstand, there are not even a few people who set up a stall with a sun umbrella, so the self-employed people in this period are really hard money.

Not all self-employed people set up stalls, and some have houses, such as phone booths.

But at this time, most of the so-called telephone booths are some houses facing the street with a wall or a window, similar to the situation of a street store.

This kind of commissary is basically in residential areas, but some commercial areas that need a commissary with a lot of traffic, such as the railway station, the entrance of the hospital, the entrance of the school, the entrance of the factory, etc., usually there are very few such fixed canteens, and more of them are mobile vendors.

The prices of individual street vendors are cheap, and they are usually relatively close to their own residential areas, so it is convenient to buy things, and in terms of credibility, they are far worse than Xinhua bookstores and regular department stores.

There's a good chance you'll be able to buy it here today, and the next day you'll be gone.

For street vendors, this kind of open-air stall is also to watch the sky to eat, sunny days are fine, once it is windy and rainy, it is very difficult, usually not out of the stall.

Not to mention the wind and rain, just say that the summer heat is unbearable, and the winter wind is biting, which is not comfortable at all.

It is precisely because of this that the self-employed people who set up stalls during this period are all serious earning hard-earned money.

Perhaps the individual vendors with the front house are pretty good.

It's good, but if you have a front house, you have to have a front house.

How many people have a porter, and how many people have the conditions to be a porter, but disdain to open the door?

That's right, in the capital during this period, there were actually very few shops on both sides of the streets and alleys.

It's not that there are fewer houses along the street, but that there are fewer doorhouses that are willing to open up the walls along the street to do business.

First of all, many houses along the streets and alleys, such as courtyard houses, are mostly the kind of miscellaneous courtyards where many people live together, and the property rights of this kind of miscellaneous courtyards are collectively owned, and you can't just spend money to open the store.

Only when the house is along the street, and the whole house is yours, can you apply to the local neighborhood committee, and if the application is passed, you can smash the wall along the street to do business and open the store.

And this application is approved, generally according to your specific situation.

Generally speaking, if your family has employees of state-owned enterprises and has a normal income, they will generally not agree, and only if your family is really difficult, no one has a formal job, and there is no stable income, you will agree as appropriate.

If anyone can smash the wall and open the store casually, then it won't be messy?

Of course, in the later era, in the era of doing business for all, the application in this area was relaxed for a while, but no matter what, it is not so easy to smash the wall of the residential houses along the street into stores.

If it was really that easy, with the shrewdness of Yan Bugui, the three great masters of the courtyard, he would not have smashed a wall along the street of the courtyard and opened the commissary.

It is true that the management in this area is relatively strict.

The current real estate in the capital is already tight, and the restrictions on the front room are relatively large, after all, there are hidden dangers in the house, etc., which cannot be renovated casually.

But the capital is so big, there are so many people, there are many rich people and knowledgeable people, and the demand for convenience stores is huge.

At present, the number of commissaries in the capital is far from meeting the actual needs of the people in the capital.

Cao Zhiqiang saw this business opportunity at that time, and planned to build a chain convenience kiosk with fixed stalls that could shelter from the wind and rain to fill the gap of the newspaper kiosk, or convenience store.

It is not realistic to buy and rent a house everywhere and build a convenience store, which requires a large amount of money, and it is also necessary to deal with the neighborhood committees and street offices in various regions, which is quite troublesome.

Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang still remembers that in a few years, some places in the capital will start to be built, and many houses will be demolished at that time, and the early demolition compensation will be one.

So Cao Zhiqiang thought of the kind of movable board house that could be moved out at any time.

Originally, he wanted to call it a newspaper kiosk, but when he thought that this kiosk would not only sell magazines, newspapers, tapes, but also snacks, snacks and drinks, and even make phone calls, he simply called it a convenience kiosk, which was regarded as taking out the concept of a convenience store in advance.

There are two main sizes of convenience kiosks.

They are two meters wide, four meters long, and 2.5 meters high.

and a 3-meter-wide, 5-meter-long, and 2.5-meter-high Type 2 room.

The reason why the two specifications are set is mainly to cope with different scenarios.

For example, in some small residential areas with small street space, a type one house with a smaller size is used.

For places with a large flow of people and a large amount of space, such as train stations and schools, use a slightly larger type 2 room.

No matter what type of convenience kiosk is, it is a movable board room with light steel as the skeleton, sandwich panels as the enclosure material, and glass windows on three sides.

This kind of board room uses sandwich panels with thermal insulation performance, plus the ceiling is also made of double-layer hollow treatment, and the glass is also made of double-layer insulating glass, plus there are curtains inside, so it has a certain thermal insulation capacity.

There is such a board house, at least the wind can't blow and the rain can't get wet, so you don't have to worry about the wind and sun.

In winter, living in this kind of board house that can keep warm, the temperature is still okay, much stronger than the open air.

As for summer, you can open all the windows and use the brackets outside the kiosk to open a large awning, which can instantly become a cool stand.

The whole board house is boxy, although simple, a bit like a shipping container, but it is convenient to manufacture and cheap.

This boxy design can be disassembled into parts and transported in batches, or it can be directly installed with wheels at the bottom and pulled away directly with a tricycle, which is very convenient for both movement and installation.

There are also chimney vents reserved in the ceiling, so if you want to get a small heater in it in winter, you don't have to worry about poisoning without a chimney.

In addition, the light vents on the ceiling are hooked to the ceiling fans, which are also prepared in advance, and the lights and ceiling fans can be installed inside.

Of course, the ceiling fan is optional, and you have to add money if you want to install this thing.

Even, Cao Zhiqiang even asked people to make an additional round hole in the wall, which is used to pass the air conditioning duct.

Even if you don't need it for the time being, it's better than nothing, and if it takes a long time, you can use it in the future.

No matter what hole is opened, what chimney hole, the pipe is empty, etc., there is a cover plate, which can be plugged when not in use

In addition, the ceiling and floor are also reserved for wiring access entrances, and if you want to turn on electricity or make a phone, you can easily access wires and telephone lines through these special access entrances, so you don't have to worry about safety because of random wiring.

On the windowless side of the north side, the door is wide open, and it is a combination of two hinged doors.

This kind of two-door hinged door is not only convenient for entry and exit, but also convenient for transporting goods, and even more convenient to escape in case of an accident.

In terms of space, because they are all serious squares, there is still a lot of space.

The smallest type of room has an internal space of nearly eight square meters, not to mention a chair and a bed.

And what about this kind of convenience kiosk, all the glass windows are tin sheds with brackets.

The iron shed outside the glass window can be put away to protect the glass window when it is not in use, and it can be opened when it is used, that is, it can be opened on three sides, which can not only shade the sun, but also expand the space to the outside world.

Take the smallest type of house as an example, don't look at the internal space is only eight square houses, but once all the sheds are opened, there is more room for expansion.

For example, taking out the folding bed in the convenience kiosk and putting books and magazines on it is equivalent to expanding the product display window.

It is large in size, enough to be loaded, can sell books, magazines and newspapers, can also sell snacks, drinks and cigarettes, and can also cooperate with the post and telecommunications bureau to directly pull the phone.

A phone booth like this, normally speaking, two or three people are more than enough to operate, and in extreme cases, in fact, one person is no problem to operate.

Because it is convenient and movable, in addition to being fixed in some places, it can also be temporarily built in some places such as zoos, Beijing exhibition halls, parks and other places.

Anyway, these materials are all lightweight materials, and after testing, no matter whether they are a type one or a type two room, as long as the wheels are installed, a human-powered tricycle can be pulled away, of course, provided that the things inside are not too heavy.

"How's it going, it's good, isn't it?" Cao Zhiqiang, who had simply explained, asked Xiang Dongfang with a smile.

Xiang Dongfang nodded: "It looks pretty good, but what are you asking the machinery factory to make this kind of thing for?" It's not going to be your own recruiter to open a commissary, no, a convenience kiosk, right? ”

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "I really mean that, but I'm not recruiting, but transferring." ”

"Transfer?" Xiang Dongfang blinked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang was about to speak, when he suddenly looked at the middle-aged man in a worker's uniform next to him.

After smiling slightly, Cao Zhiqiang walked up to the middle-aged man, took out a pack of unopened Xiangshan brand cigarettes, and handed them directly to the other party: "Director Xiao, you have worked hard, I have something to talk to my secretary, you see ......"

"Understood." Director Xiao smiled and put away the pack of cigarettes, "In this way, I'll go have a cigarette, you can talk slowly, and call me when you're done." ”

After speaking, Director Xiao walked out of the workshop with a cigarette, squatted at the door of the workshop and smoked a cigarette.

Obviously, the other party is not just walking away, but also guarding the door, to prevent anyone from entering.

However, the other party's coming was as if Cao Zhiqiang was going to do something unspeakable with Xiang Dongfang, which made Cao Zhiqiang a little embarrassed.

After coughing a little, Cao Zhiqiang turned his head to Xiang Dongfang and said: "Don't hide it, I customized these convenience kiosks in the name of Hongguang Publishing House with Hongguang Machinery Factory, and it was Director Li who made the decision."

The purpose of making these convenience kiosks is not only to make money, but also to integrate human resources.

Well, to put it simply, I will put these convenience kiosks in various places with a large flow of people in the capital, and then the people who preside over these convenience kiosks will be drawn from the machinery factory, mainly tertiary workers.

As for this Hongguang Machinery Factory, the production department is actually fine, but the tertiary production is too large.

At present, there are more than 8,000 people in the entire Hongguang Machinery Factory, and the actual workshop workers are less than 3,000, and the remaining more than 5,000 people are almost all tertiary workers of service nature.

In addition to the more useful personnel such as security and transportation, most of the other tertiary industry personnel usually come to the factory to mess around, and even many people are paid for nothing and do not come to the unit to report all day long, which means that the unit spends money to support a group of Eight Banners children.

In this case, it's not that the factory doesn't want to change, but the scale of the tertiary production staff is too large, but most of them have nothing to do.

Let these people come to work, but also drink tea, chat and read newspapers, not to mention electricity, water and tea, but also increase the pressure on the canteen, and have to take care of a meal at noon, it is better to let them not come to the unit, directly at home to get wages, but the consumption is a little smaller.

But this won't work for a long time, so I plan to carry out a reform to let these tertiary industry personnel move and create a little value. ”

Xiang Dongfang understood as soon as he heard it: "You mean, you plan to put these convenience kiosks out, and then transfer the people from the third industry to preside?" ”

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Xiang Dongfang frowned: "But are they willing?"

Going to this kind of convenience kiosk to sell things, although the wind can't blow and rain can't get wet, it's not as comfortable as at home.

You can't force them to go, can you?

If the apportionment is enforced, these people will not be motivated, and they will be separated from the collective and unsupervised, so they are more likely to have accidents. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have thought of these situations, so my solution is to find some relatively reliable people to do the pilot first, and let them go to a good location to preside over the operation of this kind of convenience kiosk."

Listen to me, in today's society, operating a convenience kiosk, the income is much higher than that of ordinary work.

As long as a good policy is formulated, such as the convenience kiosk contract management system, each convenience kiosk is subject to the contract management system of the head factory, and then after making money, pay enough money, and the rest is their own, then the person who runs the convenience kiosk will definitely have a much higher income than normal work.

As long as they find that contracting a kiosk is more profitable, they will be enthusiastic themselves, and they will not be happy to drive him away when the time comes.

Nowadays, people don't have much sense of secrecy, and once someone contracts a convenience kiosk to make a lot of money, they will immediately become a role model.

We don't need to publicize this kind of thing, they themselves will spread ten, ten to hundred.

When everyone understands the benefits of convenience kiosks, they naturally want to contract to operate convenience kiosks.

In this case, we will release the convenience kiosks in batches, and by the way, there will be various audits for contracting convenience kiosks in the future, such as paying a deposit, or conducting qualification exams and service training, etc.

All in all, as long as everyone can realize that doing this is more profitable, they will cry and shout for contracting, and they are not afraid of hard work at all, and they don't need me to forcibly apportion.

As for those real lazy people who don't want to make money and don't want to endure hardship, this kind of person, once they find out, there is always no good fruit to eat in the end, and there is always a way to clean up this kind of person.

After all, we are the ones who make the rules, as long as we make a rule that most people can accept and are happy to accept, and then use this kind of majority rule to clean up the thorns of a very small number of lazy people, is that still a problem? ”
