"It's okay." Wang Lin picked up the phone from the room and called Deng Dabao's room.

Before he came, he had already contacted Deng Dabao. Deng Dabao didn't go anywhere in the afternoon and just waited in the room on the eighth floor. After receiving the call, he brought Mao Jinshan down to see Wang Lin.

After a while, Wang Lin's door was knocked.

Wang Lin opened the door and it was Deng Dabao and Mao Jinshan who came.

"Mr. Wang!" Deng Dabao held Wang Lin's hand enthusiastically and shook it hard.

Mao Jinshan bent over: "Hello, Mr. Wang!"

"Come in and sit in. How are you doing here?" Wang Lin took out two cigarettes and handed one.

"The day before yesterday was Sunday. We hired a day in the talent market and got more than 500 resumes submitted." Deng Dabao took the cigarette.

"More than 500 copies? So many?" Wang Lin said, "There are not many districts in Guangzhou. We set up a business point in each district, and each business point is five people, and there are only 40 people."

In the 1980s, Guangzhou was still the old eighth district, that is, the old fourth district, plus the new fourth district, Panyu and Huadu were still counties and had no districts yet.

Deng Dabao smiled and said, "The main reason is that our company is a state-owned enterprise in Shencheng City. It is the first time we have come here to develop, so there are a lot of people who submit resumes. Who doesn't want to work in a state-owned enterprise? Isn't it?"

Wang Lin thought to himself, although our sanitary napkin factory and Shenfang Factory account for only 40%, you must say that this is a state-owned enterprise, and I don’t object.

He first cooperated with Shenfang Factory for the purpose of this "state-owned enterprise holding shares"!

This is not a false reputation, but a real benefit!

Companies with state-owned enterprises that hold shares are more popular in society than those purely private enterprises, can get more preferential and care in policies, and can also be more favored by college and technical secondary school graduates.

Wang Lin said: "Did you arrange an interview?"

Deng Dabao said: "I know you will come today, so I arranged for them to interview in Guangzhou hotel tomorrow. The interview location is in the hotel's small conference room. I have already agreed with the hotel to rent a small conference room for one day tomorrow. We are recruiting people regularly, of course we should be more grand. We can't just hold an interview in the hotel room, right?"

Wang Lin nodded: "Very good. Have you seen the office location?"

Deng Dabao said: "Mr. Wang, Comrade Mao Jinshan and I went around several districts, including the headquarters offices and office locations of various business points. We also had several alternative options. I have recorded the specific address and rent in this small notebook. Please check it out and decide."

While he said, he took out a small notebook, opened a page, and handed it to Wang Lin with respect.

Wang Lin took it and saw that the records were very detailed, including the address, the house sign, the price of renting a house. He even drew a small map to indicate the location of the house.

Deng Dabao’s suggestion is to rent a residential building for office use because it is cheap.

But Wang Lin felt that it was inappropriate. There was not even a decent office in a company's sales area. How could this convince the customers?

With so many companies, they rent hotel rooms as offices. Can’t Ai Qingrou afford to rent it?

The rent price in Guangzhou is more expensive than in Shanghai.

In this era, there was no concept of office buildings.

Until the early 1990s, before the office buildings in Yuexiu District were built one after another, renting hotel offices was a trend.

During this period, influenced by the old trade fair area, Oriental Hotel, Garden Hotel, Huaxia Hotel and other places are important places for business office work.

The rent of hotels back then was more expensive than office buildings in later generations. In the late 1980s, renting offices in Oriental Hotels and other places cost 150 yuan per square meter per month. By the early 1990s, this price rose to 200 yuan per square meter per month.

Later, after the office building was built, the company moved to the office building, and the rent spent was cheaper than that of a hotel.

In fact, there are also expensive areas in Shanghai. The most expensive areas, a store with only one square meter can be rented for several hundred yuan per month!

Of course, no matter where it is, the rent of residential buildings is much lower.

In Guangzhou, the standard room in a hotel is about 20 to 30 square meters. In this way, the monthly rent is three to four thousand yuan.

Wang Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Dabao, you can only rent a hotel room in the district office, not a bungalow. I know the conditions for a bungalow. That kind of place is not suitable for office work. Let's rent a room in the Oriental Hotel as an office."

Deng Dabao was stunned: "Oriental Hotel? That's a five-star hotel! It's ridiculously expensive! It costs several hundred yuan for a room to stay for one night!"

Wang Lin said: "We must establish the image of the company and the brand. This money cannot be saved. Even if we spend 4,000 yuan a month, we must rent an office in the Oriental Hotel. The sales area in South China, like the East China region, will be the best business area. Our headquarters are in East China and South China, and we must pay more attention to the creation of the company's image."

Deng Dabao said: "It's just too expensive! Apart from being expensive, there's nothing wrong with it! It's even more expensive than the Guangzhou hotel!"

Wang Lin said: "The offices in the South China region do not use too many people. Let's rent a 30-square-meter room and decorate it. It is good to use it as an office. Employees can rent a house to solve the problem. There is a reason for the high cost! Just do it like this!"
