It's late October, it's late autumn, and the cold wind is already howling in the north.

Although Shanghai has not yet reached the point where it is too cold, people have already become aware of wearing thick clothes in the morning and evening.

At 7:30 in the evening, it was completely dark, and Lin Fang was already sitting at a dining table in a restaurant, opposite Sun Haiyang.

"Hehe, I thought Mr. Lin was not used to this kind of small restaurant."

Sun Haiyang smiled and poured Lin Fang a glass of white wine.

Lin Fang laughed and said: "Mr. Sun is joking, I also come from a poor family, but I don't have so many arrogant habits.

You can eat anywhere, the main thing is who you eat with.

It's more comfortable to go to a small restaurant with people you know well."

Lin Fang smiled and showed an expression that said, "I like you very much."

Sun Haiyang immediately smiled and said: "Hey, I know Mr. Lin is not the kind of person who looks down on people like me, come and have a drink first!"

With a bottle of wine and a few dishes, two people could enjoy themselves.

After a while, Lin Fang said: "Tell me about the specific conditions of those two venues!"

Sun Haiyang nodded: "The one over in Minhang was originally a small state-owned factory with a smaller area of ​​18 acres. It was originally a paper mill, but now the situation is not good. We plan to convert a large idle warehouse and personal

The workshop is rented out, and the original row of staff dormitories and bungalows can be used as an office location.

The factory area can be used as you like, since they are basically out of production now. The rent is 150,000 yuan per year, starting from five years, plus a 100,000 deposit."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Fang's expression and found that Lin Fang frowned, so he quickly continued.

"The Putuo family was originally a collective enterprise and a soap factory. It stopped production six years ago due to some internal problems.

As a result, the problem was never solved, and over time, the equipment broke down and was eventually completely useless.

This factory can be larger, covering an area of ​​31 acres, which is considered a very good factory in Putuo.

Now Shanghai is vigorously promoting investment. They want to do it, but no one can get big bosses to invest. After all, they have to start it all again. When the few people who came saw the grass in the yard, they all shook their heads and turned around and left.

The rent is relatively cheap. They ask for a rent of 100,000 yuan per year, but I tried it out and found that this is completely negotiable.

They themselves have said that the rent is not a big problem. As long as they can agree to a few conditions, it will be no problem if the rent can be reduced by half."

"Oh, what's the condition?"

Lin Fang was curious.

"The most important thing is to promise to help them solve the employment problem of 500 unemployed young people!"

After Sun Haiyang finished speaking, he looked at Lin Fang and gave a wry smile.

Even he felt that this condition was a bit ridiculous.

Five hundred jobs, that's the configuration of a large factory.

Moreover, these people don’t know anything about the situation, so fools would recruit them directly.

Lin Fang was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "They really dare to say it, what about the other conditions?"

Sun Haiyang was a little surprised that Lin Fang didn't refuse directly.

“The second is that the salary level of these people cannot be lower than the current level of ordinary employees. In exchange, the rent can be paid once a year.

Third, if they continue to recruit people, the employees and children of their original factory will have priority!

Fourth, after the contract ends, the newly built factories and equipment must be left unconditionally and must not be demolished.

Fifth, they hope that the factory will build a building in the original family area within two years to solve the housing problem of the original factory employees. The area of ​​a single room shall not be less than 40 square meters, and the total number of households shall not be less than 50!

If they can agree to these five demands, they can agree to reduce the rent in half!"

Lin Fang thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Let's not talk about other things, did their factory have 500 people at its peak?"

Sun Haiyang also laughed: "Mr. Lin must have noticed that they actually wanted to take this opportunity to sell their quota.

According to my inquiries, their factory had only 216 people at its original maximum number."

Lin Fang nodded: "Well, the biggest advantage of this factory is that it is large enough and can be spread out inside.

The second is to rent everything out, so that you can make all the arrangements yourself after taking over, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles and disputes.

That's it.

As for the rent, to be honest, I really don’t care too much about the money.”

Sun Haiyang's eyes showed surprise: "Is Mr. Lin still more inclined to this factory?"

Lin Fang nodded: "Compared to the factory in Minhang you mentioned, this factory is relatively more suitable for me.

The area is large and I can completely make the decision.

As for the five conditions, the middle three are easy to say, and the treatment of my employees will definitely not be bad.

But the first one solves so many jobs, which is a problem and needs to be discussed carefully.

As for the last one, building a building within two years to solve the housing problem of fifty households is not difficult, but I have to make it cost-effective.

If I take advantage of others for nothing, I won’t do it!”

After Sun Haiyang heard this, he immediately understood what Lin Fang meant. He nodded and said, "In that case, I'll contact their person in charge tomorrow. It's best to make an appointment to sit down and have a chat to see if we can discuss these matters."

Lin Fang shook his head: "You can call them now. If you can, I will go over and talk to them tomorrow. If we can negotiate well, then choose this factory. If not, then go to the one in Minhang!"

I hope this matter will be settled as soon as possible, the site will be cleared soon, and we will be ready for the next step!"

Sun Haiyang didn't expect Lin Fang to be so anxious.

However, he had seen many people, so he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin, you eat first, and I'll go out and make a call right away!"

Sun Haiyang came back about ten minutes later.

"Mr. Lin, we agreed that they will summon some representatives tomorrow and wait for us in the factory!"

Lin Fang nodded: "Okay, we'll meet at the gate of Zhenru Station at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Sun Haiyang nodded.

Then he smiled and said: "Fortunately you didn't mention Shanghai West Railway Station directly, otherwise we might have gone astray."

Lin Fang also laughed.

Originally, he didn't know the difference, he just thought that West Railway Station was West Railway Station.

But last time I heard Wei Zhongmin tell a joke, saying that someone took a train and got off at Shanghai Station. It turned out that the person who got off the train waited until dark at the West Railway Station and no one was there, while the person who picked him up waited outside the station.

It got dark and no one was waiting.

Finally, Wei Zhongmin said yes. The current Shanghai West Railway Station was originally called Zhenru Station, and the original Shanghai West Railway Station has now been renamed Changning Station. However, ordinary people's verbal habits have not changed much, and they often make jokes because of the famous city issue.

.

The next day, Lin Fang arrived at the factory in the morning, held a brief morning meeting, then spoke to Wei Zhongmin, Luo Ming and Chen Shuyun and drove away directly.

By the time the two arrived at the factory, it was already 9:40 in the morning.

The blue brick wall still has some traces of slogans from many years ago. The front is even more mottled. Some places have completely become garbage collection points. Even in the weather in October, the smell is still unpleasant before you get close.

Following Sun Haiyang's car, the two drove finally to a large iron gate.

The street outside the door is spacious, but the large iron door is covered with rust, and the original color cannot be seen at all.

On the other hand, there was still half a house number hanging on the doorpost on one side. Lin Fang spent a long time identifying it but could only make out the three words "Soap Factory" underneath.

Suddenly, two cars parked at the door, which naturally attracted attention. Just when Lin Fang was looking at the broken door sign, the door was opened from the inside, and then a young man in his mid-twenties walked out.

As soon as the young man saw Sun Haiyang, he immediately rushed over to greet him.

"Mr. Sun, you are here. We have been waiting for more than two hours. We thought you wouldn't come today!"

Lin Fang also looked over at this moment. Sun Haiyang nodded and introduced Lin Fang: "This is the big boss I said. Is your Director Chen here?"

When the young man heard that Lin Fang was the big boss, he looked over with a look of astonishment.

"Director Chen is waiting inside. Come in!"

Sun Haiyang then said to Lin Fang: "Mr. Lin, let's go in too!"

Lin Fang nodded and followed him through the door.

Upon entering, Lin Fang was immediately stunned.

There was only a piece of wild grass in front of me. Only a small area seemed to have been cleared by someone, and there were still dense grass roots on the ground.

Even the cement roads were not spared. There were almost weeds sprouting from the cracked concrete gaps.

Although the taller ones have been cleared away, some small grasses have grown in place.

And this was not what shocked him the most. What was most shocking was that there were fifty or sixty people standing here, ranging in age from their twenties to their fifties. There was even one person who Lin Fang felt at least read.

Sixty years old.

The group of people on the opposite side also looked at Lin Fang and Sun Haiyang with burning eyes.

"Mr. Sun, you are finally here!"
