When the third seven-day cycle planned by Ning Weimin ended, time entered April, when spring and flowers bloomed.
Unconsciously, many cotton players appeared in the capital.
Most of these people were farmers from the northeast, and they were the first vanguard troops from the north to bravely enter the capital.
Relying on this simple craft, they identified the market where people in the capital needed elastic quilt covers and wandered around the alleys specifically.
As expected, not only did they have more work than they could handle.
When they are thirsty or tired, it is convenient for them to go into the courtyard and find a bowl of water to drink.
As a result, the scene of " sandalwood hammers, fir tips, golden roosters crow, and snowflakes falling" began to appear in the old alleys of the capital.
"Thump"..."tap-tap-tap"..."thump"...
In this way, the recurring string music has become a daily accompaniment of life in the capital.
At the beginning of this month, on April Fool's Day in the West, it was also the day when minibuses opened to traffic in the capital for the first time.
Jingcheng Taxi Company held a minibus opening ceremony at Jingcheng Railway Station.
First, there are two mini-bus operating routes - Beijing Railway Station to Beihai, and Zoo to Summer Palace.
The fares are 0.5 yuan, 1 yuan, and 1.5 yuan respectively, which are lower than taxis and higher than public buses.
Not to mention, although the fare is a bit high, it is really convenient for citizens to travel at this time.
Because "small public" stations are widely spaced, fast, not crowded, and can park flexibly according to passengers' requirements, they quickly became popular and became an effective supplement to mainstream buses.
However, for Ning Weimin, the most important meaning of this month has nothing to do with the new changes in people's livelihood conditions in the capital.
Rather, the interior decoration project of the second phase of the "Tan Palace" - the Beishen Kitchen in the Temple of Heaven Park has finally started as planned.
This construction is characterized by the collaboration of multiple engineering teams and the pursuit of excellence in interior decoration.
For example, the gorgeous caisson is the key work of the ancient construction team.
Special interiors such as Bisha cabinets are provided by the woodworking factory and installed by the ancient construction team.
The walls adopt the wallpaper technology of Art Red Light Factory.
In addition to palace lanterns, lighting is the most important means of decoration.
Regarding lighting, Ning Weimin found the company that installed the lighting for the art museum.
It is required to achieve light and dark, highlight key exhibits, and strive to be close to the artistic effect of an art exhibition.
The kitchen and toilet are handled by people from another construction company who specialize in general decoration projects.
The water, electricity, heating and stage are also contracted by professional construction teams.
Needless to say, because the personnel come from many different units, it tests the management and coordination skills.
Who does it first and who does it last is also a delicate calculation like an advanced mathematics problem.
Judging from the overall construction period of two months, this time has to be spread over the heads of each construction team, which is actually not very rich.
What's more, Ning Weimin also found some extra jobs for some construction teams, which made the construction time pressure on these construction teams even greater.
Take the ancient construction team for example. Ning Weimin took their leader to Majia Garden to see the scene.
The ancient construction team is required to prepare a detailed project budget and design drawings for the two courtyards where residents and factories will be relocated, and to restore them as they were before.
Be obedient, the manager of Gujian Team is not stupid.
He only needed to think about it for a moment to figure out what to do.
Since the courtyard is Ning Weimin's private residence, it must be more important to Ning Weimin than the Northern Divine Chef.
Therefore, he did not dare to underestimate the new task in Ma's Garden.
The people sent to measure and look at materials are all elites.
In order to formulate engineering standards, meetings and discussions were held repeatedly.
It was so busy and messy, and it was really more caring than the one at Beishen Chef.
The same goes for the construction team of the construction company. Ning Weimin assigned them more urgent tasks.
The construction company never expected that Ning Weimin would take out six keys at once.
He even urgently asked them to immediately start decorating the interiors of the six suites.
Moreover, the construction period was extremely urgent. Ning Weimin requested that it be completed within three weeks as much as possible. The sooner the better.
This caused the construction team of the construction company to complain and feel that their manpower was suddenly tense.
But who made Ning Weimin a major customer of the construction company?
Besides, it's not like they don't want to pay.
Therefore, materials, labor costs, and even overtime and expedited fees are consumed.
Ning Weimin was willing to pay double the price.
Ning Weimin even provided free cigarettes and tea to the workers, and each worker was given two bottles of Erguotou.
Therefore, it is difficult to shirk responsibility under the heavy reward.
Everyone in the construction company had no choice but to comply with the requirements of this big customer.
Those master workers who never work overtime and work like an uncle are far busier than the ancient construction team.
This time I was really exhausted.
And when they were working, their favorite topic to discuss was, of course, talking about Ning Weimin.
Everyone thinks that the general manager of Tan Palace is too awesome. Even the minister doesn’t have such a big reputation.
Damn, I occupied six apartments in one go. Do you want more in such a hurry?
Those who are given cigarettes and free drinks must pretend to be luxurious at any cost!
Once this house is installed, it will be six palaces!
But the question is, can he live here?
In fact, when it comes to this matter, it is true that the workers have misunderstood it, and it is very strange.
Because the so-called luxury does not exist at all. This is because poverty and backwardness limit the imagination of workers.
What Ning Weimin asked the workers to do was nothing more than painting the walls, laying floor tiles, installing corner moldings, baseboards, ceiling lights, and building kitchens and bathrooms.
Judging from the standards of thirty years later, it is a simple decoration standard that only meets the basic needs of residents.
It's just a huge contrast compared to people these days who have no concept of housing decoration and are satisfied with the standards of cement floors and painted walls.
As for why we are so anxious, there are reasonable reasons.
The main reason is that Ning Weimin is trying to find a way to put an end to the relocation of residents.
You know, in the third seven-day relocation cycle, only a dozen households who requested housing were successfully moved out.
In the end, there were still five or six households left who refused to leave.
After all, housing is too flexible, and the houses Ning Weimin bought had different conditions.
Maybe it’s because it’s a little less interesting compared to the houses other people got, or maybe it’s because I’m still unwilling to accept the conditions of the house.
Anyway, the few remaining households really don’t have houses that they are satisfied with, so even if they give up the moving subsidy, they still have to stay and wait.
Then Ning Weimin is definitely not willing to invest money and time in buying another batch of houses for them to choose from.
Naturally, he had to come up with another idea to satisfy them - to carry out fine decoration.
To put it bluntly, the simplest truth is that goods sell for one piece of skin.
Even vegetable sellers know that sprinkling water on vegetables to make them look fresher will make business better.
In the same way, the same is true for houses.
Thirty years later, many high-end residential complexes actually relied on model apartments to impress customers.
What's more, Ning Weimin not only has an understanding of future life and fashion evolution, but also has the general ledger of the Tan Palace project in hand, which can be combined with the convenience of reimbursement.
There is absolutely no reason for him not to do this. This is his unique advantage.
Facts have also proved that the effect of this move is absolutely outstanding.
Twenty days later, of course all six suites were brand new.
Households who intend to become a key household cannot move forward once they look at the house.
In their eyes, these houses really look like Jinluan Palace.
This even includes the resident who expressed at the meeting that he did not want to move out from the beginning.
He fell in love with it when he saw the first two-bedroom apartment.
He actually ignored the feelings of his neighbors and told all the neighbors in public that this was his life and death, and no one could rob him.
Just like that, within two days, all the residents happily moved out.
When Ning Weimin settled the accounts, it cost nearly 180,000 yuan to move these residents.
But he also lost six school district houses.
In the future, the increase in the price of these six houses will be enough to offset all relocation costs and even make some profit.
If you add in the light of the project funds for the Zhantan Palace project, it should be said that it was wise for him to relocate the residents at this time.
What's more, through this matter, he also formed a very good relationship with the street, housing management office, and police station.
These are all gains.
In short, no matter how you look at it, this is a very cost-effective deal with no worries.
He couldn't help but be satisfied with his "masterpiece" and "means".
Especially when he saw a front-page news published in Guangming Daily, he could not restrain his pride and joy from the bottom of his heart.
Because it was at the "Fujian Provincial Factory Directors and Managers Research Conference", fifty-five factory directors and managers of key state-owned enterprises who attended the meeting jointly issued a public appeal to "please loosen our restrictions."
This appeal was first published by Fujian Daily and was subsequently reprinted by major newspapers across the country.
The key is that in the content reproduced by "Guangming Daily".
In addition to the complaints of Fujian entrepreneurs that "the existing system has tied our hands and feet, and the enterprises are in a situation where there is only pressure, no motivation, and no vitality, and it is really too much to do but not enough."
In addition to their demands for the decentralization of ten other aspects of power including the "factory director responsibility system".
A reporter from "Guangming Daily" also interviewed some entrepreneurs in Beijing along with the article and shared the resonance of Beijing enterprises.
Director Zhou, who was the director of Shougang at the time, made a personal statement after the appeal, expressing his firm support.
He claimed, "Although I manage hundreds of thousands of people and assets worth more than one billion, I still need the Beijing Economic Commission to sign for me even if I approve a toilet."
Think about it, if you are afraid of others comparing yourself to others, how can Ning Weimin not laugh?
To compare with this, the business plan he implemented with the help of the Temple of Heaven Park is so powerful that it is almost limitless.
What level should he be considered? He should be considered a non-staff minister.
Apart from anything else, once the Beishen Kitchen project is completed, it will be enough for him to brag for a lifetime!
