Throughout December, Ning Weimin felt a little bored, bored because he was relaxed.
Because this month, "Tan Palace"'s turnover began to decline significantly.
But let’s be clear, this is not a mistake in Ning Weimin’s business methods.
Mainly due to seasonal reasons, the number of tourists visiting the Temple of Heaven has plummeted.
After all, it is not the peak tourist season when the climate is suitable. There are very few people who are willing to come to the Temple of Heaven in the middle of winter and enjoy the wind in the woods.
Although there is still a "Sculpture Art Exhibition" at the end of the year to support the Temple of Heaven, it also attracts domestic tourists.
With fewer foreign tourists, the tour groups that travel agencies can send are almost extinct.
As a designated tourist restaurant and a tourist shop in the park that relies on mountains and rivers, it is natural that a major part of the customer base is missing.
Even the Oriole Pavilion in the Summer Palace was similar in this regard, and was also greatly affected, with its sales plummeting.
Only Beihai Fangshan Restaurant is fully occupied because of the special advantage of its geographical location. There is no shortage of guests from ministries and commissions.
Similarly, it is also because the winter in Beijing these days is dry and cold, with temperatures as low as ten degrees below zero.
People are reluctant to come out when nothing happens, and social activities in foreign countries naturally decrease.
In addition, at the end of the year, each unit had to summarize its work, and the accounting tasks were intensified, so there were a lot fewer customers spending public funds.
In this way, if the layers are added up, such a large restaurant will no longer be able to make money.
Everything we do every day is individual business, and it is not easy to maintain capital.
Thanks to the fact that "Tan Palace" also has a convenient dim sum shop, it is still very popular among the people.
It is quite rare to be able to maintain a profit of more than 2,000 yuan every day.
To be honest, under this situation, the daily work and normal operation of the "Tan Palace" restaurant will not have much problem whether Ning Weimin is there or not.
Similarly, the new year’s “Sculpture Art Exhibition” is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Thanks to the participation of the Artists Association, this event has been successfully held for two more years.
Ning Weimin had no plans to innovate at all this year, so he was naturally happy to let go and delegate power.
Therefore, this month, he has more time to rest, adjust his condition, and even do what he wants to do.
In line with the principle of putting others before yourself, the first thing he thought of when he had some free time was that he should express his gratitude to Qiao Wanlin for his support.
You know, when he achieves his personal career.
Qiao Wanlin has done a great job, and will definitely help him even more in the future.
But what makes Ning Weimin feel very sorry is that Qiao Wanlin himself did not benefit much from this matter.
Just removing the word "dai" from the title of Acting Deputy Section Chief is a bit of a waste of work, and it means that all the work is in vain.
Originally, Ning Weimin thought that Qiao Wanlin could be directly promoted to the level of a full-time student, which made him feel somewhat guilty.
He still remembered that it was because he was 100% optimistic about this matter that he tried his best to persuade the reluctant Qiao Wanlin to give up the book market and work hard on this matter.
As a result, everyone is getting rich now, but Qiao Wanlin's efforts are out of proportion to his gains, so he can just be happy about it.
It's really good when everyone is doing well.
If someone feels aggrieved and is an important partner, it is a hidden danger to the career.
What's more, the two of them still have a certain foundation of friendship, which is different from other people's purely utilitarian relationship.
Even if Qiao Wanlin didn't complain to him face to face, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, right?
Therefore, in order to prevent the friendship from fading and maintain the cooperative relationship, Ning Weimin must do something and find a way to compensate.
After pondering over and over again, he finally zeroed in on one thing - the self-built staff building of the Chongwen District Commercial Bureau!
Why would he have this idea?
In fact, it is because as early as 1980, the great man's "Talk on Construction Industry and Housing Issues" was, to a certain extent, equivalent to opening up a small opening for units to build their own buildings and sell them to employees.
So subsequently, in response to the call, units with certain economic strength in the capital began large-scale construction projects and built staff buildings.
But the problem is, compared with what you might get for free, spending one dollar is still a lot.
Everyone is thinking about free room allocation, but no one is willing to pay for it.
So what Ning Weimin means is that since Qiao Wanlin has the right to buy a unit and build a house by himself, but he has money, he can't get a house.
Then it would be better for him to pay for Qiao Wanlin's house.
After buying the house, Qiao Wanlin may choose to move to a new house or stay in the old house. Anyway, just free up a house for him to use for ten years.
Ten years later, he returned the keys to the house and the two were even.
The money he paid does not need to be paid back by Qiao Wanlin at all. It is essentially used as an offset against the rent.
It should be said that Ning Weimin's idea was really good.
Not only can Qiao Wanlin get a house for free, he can also enjoy the government's preferential housing purchase subsidies.
In addition to making up for the apology in his heart, he could also solve his current problem of lack of housing.
This is killing three birds with one stone!
However, his good intentions were not smoothly accepted by Qiao Wanlin at first.
Because Qiao Wanlin is also a shrewd person, he knows that this is an exchange of favors, and of course he has to calculate whether it is a good deal.
Don’t forget, people at this time had more traditional thinking and could only see the use value of the house, but not the appreciation potential of the house.
Qiao Wanlin felt that by accepting this kind offer, Ning Weimin had to pay too much, and he would not lose any practical benefits.
He is not short of a house. If not, he will owe the other party a favor. Of course, this is a loss-making transaction.
So his first reaction was to refuse.
"My house is enough for a family of three, so what's the point of having more? If you help me buy a house, you're just burdening me. Not only do I have to maintain and repair it, but I also have to pay the rent. Besides, I can share it sooner or later.
Why do you have to spend such a large amount of unjust money to cover ten years of rent? You will also suffer a big loss in twenty years?"
This value standard made Ning Weimin laugh immediately.
"Oh, how can I say hello to you? Can't you plan for the long term? A house is probably the most difficult necessity to buy with money right now. To allocate a house, you have to quantify your professional title, length of service, education, and household registration into points, and then
Ranking based on cumulative score. It is pure luck that you were assigned a two-bedroom apartment. It was because the educated youth went to the countryside in the first few years, so you had the opportunity. If you try now, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"If there is a change in the future and it is said that public housing will not be allocated at all, then won't those who get it first get a big advantage? And those who don't get it will suffer a big loss? You just see the little you have to pay.
The rent is paid, why don't you think about it. If you want to install a telephone, the monthly basic fee will be fifteen yuan. Compared with this, the rent is nothing. The housing authority will repair the sewer or heating for you.
, this year’s rent will be free of charge from you. Isn’t this still a good deal?”
"I'm not at a loss either. Don't mention anything else, so what about foreign companies? I do have money and a car to drive, but I have nowhere to buy a house. Do you know how much I spend just renting a hotel every month? I smoke.
To rent that small courtyard in a hotel, you have to give someone 300 yuan a month. Doesn’t this show how valuable the house is?”
"So don't say that the house is useless. That's because you are a full man and don't know how hungry a man is. You don't know how serious other people's lack of housing is. And if you don't lack a house, it's only temporary. Don't your sons grow up and get married?
Really? Let me tell you, that is, foreign-funded enterprises cannot purchase houses. Otherwise, if your company is willing to sell the building to our company, we will be willing to pay double the price."
As a result, Qiao Wanlin was really tempted.
He went back and asked the bureau.
There are two employee buildings available for sale in the bureau. According to the policy, he has to pay one-third of the purchase price and the unit subsidizes two-thirds.
The selling price of this batch of houses is set at 240 yuan per square meter of construction.
That's 80 yuan per square meter. According to his level, buying a three-bedroom apartment of 64 square meters would cost more than 5,000 yuan.
But the key point is that the people in charge of this matter never thought that someone would be stupid enough to actually spend their own money to buy a house.
It was a laugh full of mockery, urging him to pay the money quickly.
When Director Jin found out about this, he advised him to calm down.
It is said that most people are not willing to pay this money and cannot afford it.
If this matter is dragged on for a long time, no one will buy it, and it will be all in vain.
If he has to pay for it, won't he suffer a loss?
All of a sudden, Qiao Wanlin hesitated again.
Fortunately, Ning Weimin saw this matter accurately and made another analysis for Qiao Wanlin.
"Of course you won't suffer a loss. Don't think so. It's really possible to get a score in vain. But in that case, don't forget that you are an associate major and you have only been there for a few days, so you will definitely get a share?
What if it’s not yours?”
"Actually, I think it's best to spend money to buy a house now. First, you can respond to national policies and be sure to get a house. Second, you can also choose a house with a good orientation and a good floor. As long as you spend your own money to buy it,
No one can say anything about you, no matter who you are, because it is fair and aboveboard. If others are envious, they can also pay for it."
"If you think about it in the future, once you no longer need this house, you can continue to rent it to others. This means that you have an extra income guaranteed by drought and floods. Even if you retire, the government will not take this house back. You can live with it.
It can be passed on to children for a lifetime. There is no need to ask people from the housing management department anymore, and there is no debt of gratitude. How appropriate."
"Besides, I'm paying all the money, and the house is in your name, so what can you lose? Don't be afraid that you can't rent it out. I'm telling you a big deal, I will always protect this house for you, and no one will ask me to rent it.
Isn’t that enough?”
Don't tell me, it makes sense.
Just like that, Qiao Wanlin was speechless.
Finally made up his mind to hand over the money given by Ning Weimin.
Perhaps because he was the only one who had the ability to poop with scorpions, the matter went smoothly and he got the key quickly.
He got his wish and got a three-bedroom apartment on the second floor with the best orientation.
However, Qiao Wanlin has no plans to move to a new house.
He felt that his home was quite nice, but he was too lazy to move in the winter.
What's more, this new building is almost unoccupied. It looks like a ghost building at night, and he is not willing to look for this excitement.
So the key was given directly to Ning Weimin.
Of course, Ning Weimin was overjoyed and ran to the new house excitedly to have a look. Hey! It’s even more beautiful.
Because sixty-four square meters is purely indoor area, there are no deceptive "public stalls" these days.
As a result, he finally had his first stronghold that was completely in his own hands, where he could come in and out easily at any time, and where he could store his personal belongings at will.
Not only were the silver plates and jade badges obtained from the seal factory shipped here.
The key is that we can move in the fine hardwood furniture that is temporarily stored in the Temple of Heaven Garden.
He no longer has to worry about the gains and losses of these things that have always been stored in other people's places.
To be honest, thinking about it afterwards, even he thought he had done a great job.
It’s like being possessed by a doraemon, and it’s such a blessing to the world!
Oops, I actually took advantage of everything, so damn helpless!
I can only beat the bed and praise myself a few times, "That's awesome!"
How can you live if others want to compare your IQ with you...
