Chapter 13: 12.5% ??equity
When we decided to start construction two years ago, it was already the end of the year. We were waiting for Gu Yi to come up with detailed drawings and construction plans, and the New Year was almost here.
By the time the construction officially started, it was already after the New Year. The foundation was laid ten days later, and the main construction of the one-story and two-and-a-half-story bungalows was completed in just over a month.
Such an astonishing completion speed not only shocked a group of villagers who were prepared to watch the joke, but also surprised Gu Yi's family, Gu Jingnan, and Gu Jingping's disciples.
During this period, they felt that their work was much more efficient than usual, but they did not expect that the three-story bungalow that originally took two or three months to complete actually took just over a month to complete.
.
This kind of achievement greatly enhanced their confidence in following the two brothers Gu Jingnan and Gu Jingping. It turned out that the fast and efficient construction that Gu Jingnan and Gu Jingping mentioned before was really feasible.
"Analysis, this construction was carried out completely according to the construction organization plan provided by Gu Yi. Material and mechanical personnel came to the site in advance, greatly reducing labor waste, and there are detailed nodes for complex structures and reserved, opening, and embedded parts.
The construction drawings and construction methods have greatly improved labor efficiency, avoiding the waste of materials and labor caused by secondary construction, and boldly inserting excavators to speed up progress and efficiency, which not only increases investment, but also saves overall."
"In general, the schedule has been reduced by two to three weeks and the construction cost has been reduced by about 15%. This was achieved even though our preliminary running-in management system has not yet been perfected."
"It can be predicted that after the management matures, the construction team has a better understanding of each other, and more stable suppliers and customers are developed, our profit margins will be even greater."
"Next, after the villa enters the masonry decoration work, we can start to contact me and prepare to take orders."
"First of all, Jinnan and Jinping, you two brothers need to finish the work of the previous employers first, and you have to do it in the name of our construction team, and you have to do it quickly."
"Secondly, in response to the previous situation where material vendors increased their prices, we need to attract more material vendors to form a multi-line supply to prevent us from falling into a passive situation."
At the first family gathering after the main body of the Gu family's villa was completed, Yang Yanzhen was talking eloquently, and the aura of a strong woman that Gu Yi was very familiar with had vaguely appeared.
"There is another place where Gu Yi's help is needed." When she said this, Yang Yanzhen stopped and looked at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi was stunned and turned to look at Yang Yanzhen.
"Gu Yi, since you can make complete sets of villa drawings, it shouldn't be difficult to follow this model and draw several common bungalows in the village." Yang Yanzhen looked at Gu Yi with questioning eyes.
Gu Yi nodded. It really didn't take him much time. He just drew a few sets of standard-sized drawings and adjusted them according to the specific land area. It was enough to negotiate and discuss business.
"Another thing is that once our business starts to develop, the number of manpower will gradually become insufficient. We need to add more manpower to cope with the situation when several construction sites start working at the same time."
"I suggest that you accept some more apprentices, or you can let the few apprentices you have left to lead some apprentices. The personnel trained in this way will be more loyal and cooperate more tacitly."
"At the same time, we should make the management system more formal, such as contracts. So the first thing we have to do now is to give the company a name."
"Do you have any good opinions?" At the end of the talk, Yang Yanzhen asked a question that no one had thought of.
Several people at the table looked at each other, but no one knew what to say, and finally turned their attention back to Yang Yanzhen.
"Don't look at me, I have a high school diploma and I can't figure it out." Yang Yanzhen shook her head and said.
"Don't look at me, I graduated from junior high school." The person who spoke was Gu Yi's father, Gu Jinnan.
"Don't look at me, I can't do it either." Gu Jinping quickly shook his head.
Seeing this situation, Gu Yunsong frowned a little. "If we say that the people in our family are uneducated, they have only been educated for a few years. If we say they are very educated, they are not very educated."
"Although I have read books for a few more years, I still don't have any suitable ideas right now."
"Grandpa! Grandpa! What should we do as a human being?" While everyone was frowning and thinking, a childish and clear voice asked.
"Huh?" The person who asked the question was Gu Yi, and everyone couldn't help but focus their attention.
"Being sincere is the basis of your life." Gu Yunsong pondered for a moment and said.
"Then what's the most valuable thing to do?" Gu Yi asked again, his eyes turning brightly.
"Peace is the most important thing when doing things." Gu Yunsong replied decisively.
A glimmer of light flashed in everyone's eyes, 'faith' and 'he'.
"Xinhe"
"Honesty is the foundation, harmony is the most important thing." Several people slowly chanted these two words, but their eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Then let's call him Xinhe. You have no objection." Mr. Gu Yunsong made the final decision and rubbed Gu Yi's head.
"No comment"
"No opinion, no opinion." Several people said they had no opinion.
Trust and harmony, whether now or in the future, are a theme that will never go out of style. Just like the state-owned construction company China Construction Fifth Engineering Bureau ten or twenty years later, it will also regard the culture of trust and harmony as its own.
The essence of corporate culture.
Xinhe Culture, these two words are now occupied by the small construction team of Gu Yi's family.
Although I don’t know where my construction team will eventually go, I finally want to borrow a good name and hope to borrow some good luck.
"Now that everything is settled, there is one last thing. Although we are a family, since we have decided to start a business, it is very necessary to be financially clear. As for this matter, I think it is up to dad to do it.
Let's decide on the distribution." Although Yang Yanzhen was strong in her previous life, she always respected Gu Yunsong, and this life is no exception.
The family left the most important matters, the distribution of interests, in Gu Yunsong's hands.
"In that case, let me talk about it. The main thing about this matter is that it depends on the efforts of two brothers, Gu Jinnan and Gu Jinping, so you two hold 30% of the shares of the big one."
"Yang Yanzhen will be responsible for daily management and operational development. It is regarded as a management investment, accounting for 12.5% of the shares."
"I will take 15% of the shares for now, and I will naturally return them to you after my death."
"As for the remaining 12.5% of the shares, I decided to leave it to Gu Yi. Do you have any objections?"
"Gu Yi's shareholding based on creativity and technology counts as 12.5% of the shares."
"I believe that if it weren't for Gu Yi's reminder, we wouldn't have thought of setting up this construction team. If it weren't for Gu Yi's support with drawings and plans, we wouldn't have had the chance to take the lead, so the remaining 12.5
% of the equity should be given to him."
"As for my 15% shares, they will be divided into two parts in the future. 10% of one part will be given to the future leader of the company, while the other 5% will be given to another company."
"Brothers have broken bones and connected tendons. I believe you understand my arrangement, and I believe that you are all children who value friendship." Gu Yunsong said with profound meaning.
"I agree." The first person to speak was aunt Yang Yanzhen.
"I agree too." Gu Jinping also said.
Not to mention Gu Jinnan, he is his own son after all.
When Gu Yi heard Gu Yunsong's words, although he was surprised, he was also very calm.
Gu Yi knew that in Gu Yunsong's heart, what he valued might not be tens of billions of companies or hundreds of billions of groups, but what he valued more might be a century-old family and a family legacy passed down from generation to generation.
To do all this, the family needs a spiritual figure who is also a leader, and in Gu Yunsong's eyes, Gu Yi is undoubtedly the best candidate, so the path has been paved for Gu Yi from the beginning.
After the matter was settled, the Gu family set up a few banquets and invited people from all over the country, several people who usually cooperated with each other and had strong connections, and some relatives in the village to have dinner.
I have witnessed the establishment of the construction team, and I hope that everyone can help or introduce the business in the future.
This time Gu Yi's teacher Yang Shan also came. Gu Yunsong personally invited him, and he also meant to stand up for the Gu family.
After all, Gu Yi is his disciple, and it was Gu Yi who started this matter, and Gu Yi was also involved. As a teacher, he naturally has to praise his disciple.
During the dinner, he also personally mentioned the words "Honesty is the foundation and harmony is the most precious" for Gu Yijia's construction team. This is exactly the intention behind the name of Gu Yijia's construction team.
This time, people in the village knew that Gu Yi was studying with Yang Shan. No wonder he didn't go to school.
As a foreigner in the village, Yang Shan has long been known to everyone in the small Yangjiawu.
Everyone in the village also knew that this was a learned man from the city. Judging by his demeanor and his good handwriting, he knew that the old man was not a simple man.
Some people also had the idea of having their children become Yang Shan's students, but they were all rejected. Unexpectedly, Gu Yi became Yang Shan's student unknowingly.
No wonder you don't go to school. If you have such a master to guide you, everyone will know what choice to make.
It seemed that Gu Yi, a student, was still highly regarded by Yang Shan, and she did not hesitate to show up for him to support the Gu family, and even presented him with a pair of handwritten calligraphy.
Although no one here could understand the value of this calligraphy, for this small mountain village, what Yangshan showed them and what they could understand was enough to surprise them.
