Lin Chuan's nod made Yuan Jingye not surprised at all.
Because he knows that what Lin Chuan needs most now is not money, but the protection of his own capital.
That's why he agreed to give away these fire metals so that Yuan Jingye would owe him Lin Chuan a favor.
This favor is priceless and can outweigh the power of money at critical times.
Yuan Jingye smiled slightly and said: "I'm giving this favor to you. You must save it for a critical moment. Hui City is indeed a good place for outstanding people. It is said that your Danmao District is also developing well.
It's a pity that I have to rush back to the Imperial Capital to participate in those scientific research projects, otherwise I would definitely go to Danmao District to see it!"
Lin Chuan always smiles.
I was also very satisfied with the favor Yuan Jingye said.
He really wanted Yuan Jingye to owe him a favor that he could use at a critical moment.
This is something you can't buy with any money.
So, Lin Chuan also smiled and said: "Since you are always in such a hurry to go back, I will no longer try to persuade you to stay. When you have time to come to Huishi again, I will personally show you around!"
Yuan Jingye laughed and said: "I have gained something from my visit to Hui City this time. I will ask Xiang Ren to hand over the other information to you. I also hope that you can send the fire metal to the imperial capital as soon as possible!"
After that, Yuan Jingye was personally escorted by Lin Chuan to the airport and left on a special plane.
But Nong Xiangren stayed, because he wanted to personally inspect and accept the specifications of the fire metal, and there could not be a single millimeter error.
Lin Chuan had nothing to object to, and even invited him to a meal at noon.
In the afternoon, the company held a meeting as usual.
And there is a meeting of all middle and senior management, as well as project managers.
Lin Chuan and Qin Mengying walked into the conference room together. The originally lively conference room suddenly became quiet.
Today is the president's meeting, and everyone is as energetic as the clothes they wear. They smile and watch Lin Chuan sit down.
Lin Chuan also smiled and said: "Let's stop talking nonsense and have a formal meeting. First, let's ask each department to report on their work!"
From the construction department to the cleaning department, the managers of each department carefully reported the department's work status and requirements.
The Construction Department is still carrying out residential and commercial construction according to the plan, and those that are already ready for delivery include the residential complex in Danmao District, the chemical plant, and the large cultural square park in Hui City.
Those that will be put into use soon include the Danmao District Amusement Park and the furniture wholesale market.
What will start immediately is the pharmaceutical industrial park construction project.
Manager Cao Shanchen of the Human Resources Department also reported the current human resources data of the company.
So far, the group has a total of 35,000 employees, as well as middle and senior management. At the same time, Mengying University has also sent the first batch of technical talents to the group who are currently in the internship stage.
This news is what Lin Chuan likes to hear the most.
What companies still lack now is talents, so the more talents, the better.
At the same time, Lin Chuan also proposed a talent replacement plan.
“More and more talents are entering the group to work, which is a good thing, but it also means that these talents will replace workers without skills.
In order to maintain profit costs, the group can basically resign people, especially those without any skills!"
This order shocked Cao Shanchen's heart.
One sentence can change the fate of thousands of people.
The group has developed to the present, and among the 35,000 workers and employees, most of them are unskilled talents, except for those who specialize in manual labor and have no technical requirements.
But Cao Shanchen also understands that this is the future development trend.
People who are uneducated, have no skills, and cannot even do manual labor are destined to starve to death.
And as the number of technical talents increases, the pressure on those people will also increase.
Cao Shanchen tugged on the collar of his shirt in a depressed manner.
I thought that I would have to take the time to learn more technical knowledge, in order to keep my job.
As the meeting progressed, the Finance Department submitted the financial report.
The loss-making projects are still cross-sea bridges, highways, airports, and television factories. Now they also include business buildings and shopping malls.
The most profitable projects are the export of clothing, shoes and hats, electronic products, as well as several major wholesale markets, fire metals, pharmaceutical factories, brick factories, cement factories, and machinery manufacturing plants.
Lin Chuan also frowned a little when he saw this data.
Needless to say, cross-sea bridges and highways are projects that are dedicated to burning money.
Needless to say, the airport is nothing more than a loss-making business. After all, everyone now basically chooses cheap rail transportation when traveling, and not everyone can afford to fly.
Therefore, even if the loss is not a lot, it is acceptable.
As for TV manufacturers, it is understandable and acceptable that they produce in large quantities but sell slowly. After all, TVs are still considered luxury goods in this era.
Things that are popular in Hui City are not so easy to accept in other places.
This also requires a mature process.
But what Lin Chuan couldn't accept was how could shopping malls and business centers suffer losses?
He then looked at Xue Xiaomeng and asked coldly: "Is there anything wrong with the business center?"
Xue Xiaomeng's face turned red when she was named.
If she had a choice, she really didn't want to say anything right now.
But now I have to say it.
"Mr. Lin, the business center is a high-consumption place, and not everyone can afford it. For example, in other cinemas, you can watch a movie for only 20 cents.
But in our movie theaters, it costs 3-5 yuan, and the consumption level in business restaurants is also very high. A customer will spend close to 1,000 yuan for a meal.
The salary of an ordinary worker is only around RMB 50, so that customer was very dissatisfied at the time. However, the usage rate of the office area in the business center is less than 5%, and most of the places are vacant.
So the business center has been incurring expenses to maintain operations!”
Lin Chuan just nodded coldly, and then said: "The business center is a high-consumption place. A movie theater that costs only two cents does not even have a decent chair.
Watching a movie can kill you, either a gangster or a thief, but our cinema is luxurious, quiet and clean, and even the chairs are sofas.
It is indeed expensive to watch a movie for 3 yuan, and it is indeed unacceptable to some people, but there are more people who don’t know whether 3 yuan or 20 cents is better in comparison.
Secondly, you said that customers became dissatisfied after spending 1,000 yuan, right? Then I want to know what the customers ate and drank?
I think it can’t just be a few green vegetables or a few bottles of beer, and they are all clearly marked with prices. How come it’s not too expensive when he orders it, but it’s too expensive when he’s full and full?”
