..."Liu Dong, did you really buy this villa?" Liu Jianqing asked in surprise after browsing most of the manor.
"Well, it's been half a year since I bought it, and it was just renovated some time ago! Dad, let's go, there's still a backyard!"
"Xiaodong, only our family lives in such a big yard?" Song Xiangmei asked in surprise.
"Well, it's just our family! Oh, there may be some servants and bodyguards too!" Liu Dong said.
"You can't live in it. This yard will quickly become as big as our village!"
While talking, a group of six people, including Wang Qiang and Lin Ling, had arrived at the main living area in the backyard!
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Liu Fei couldn't help but admired as she looked at the six large and small villas that could not hide the gorgeous scenery even though it was winter.
"Brother, do these houses also belong to our family?"
"Yes, both!"
"You can live in any building?" Liu Fei said happily.
"Anything works!"
"Great, I want to live in a villa by myself!" After receiving the affirmative reply, Liu Fei immediately announced loudly and happily.
"Then you go and stay. Just don't be afraid at night!" Liu's mother's words immediately brought Liu Fei back to her original shape! Living in a villa by yourself at night is indeed spacious enough.
"Xiaodong, how much did you spend to buy such a big yard?" Song Xiangmei has never forgotten the issue of saving that she is most concerned about.
"Mom, we don't have much money, so just stay calm!"
After taking their parents around six villas, Liu's father and Liu's mother finally chose a 300-square-meter single-family villa in the east. Surrounding this villa are his father's favorite bamboo forest and mother's favorite plum blossoms!
My sister Liu Fei lives in a villa with her parents.
Liu Dong and Wang Qiang chose the central villa because it was far away from their parents’ house, so they didn’t have to worry about other people hearing what they loved doing!
As for Lin Ling, at the request of Liu Dong and Wang Qiang, she chose a villa between Liu Dong and his parents as her residence!
However, a few people only stayed for one night and then returned to Liu Dong's small villa. Because the yard was too big and empty, it was unpopular. No one was used to it! Even Liu Dong was the same, but he wanted to find something suitable and safe.
Being a maid is not an easy job. If you want to fill such a large home, you need to take your time!
Because the company has already started operations after the new year, Wang Qiang has also become busy. As secretary Lin Ling is responsible for coordinating the work of Jiahua Group and Dongchao Group, and the task is not easy either.
Only Liu Dong spent the fifteenth year with his parents and sent them back to his hometown before the start of junior high school. As for Liu Fei, because Liu Dong had already completed the transfer procedures for her, Liu Fei did not need to return to Qingzhou and went directly to
The most famous Shandong Art Middle School in Quancheng!
As a prestigious school in Qilu with a history of 88 years, famous personalities such as Ji Xianlin, Wang Youping, and Sun Sibai have emerged from here. Famous educators such as Ju Simin, Yu Danfu, Huang Yanpei, and Tao Xingzhi have all taught here! Regardless of hardware or hardware
The software is top-notch among Shandong art schools!
After arrangements were made for Liu Fei, Liu Dong's time was slightly relaxed, and at this time he also began to prepare for his trip to Myanmar in March.
So, at the end of February, he drove to the suburbs to inherit the warehouse from Uncle Long, which was used to store raw materials and precious wood! Of course, this is also the jewelry processing center and woodworking processing center of the Dongchao Group! He is based here permanently.
The number of security guards and workers has doubled compared to the first time Liu Dong arrived here! The vehicles and people entering and exiting have also made the originally deserted highway busy!
"Boss!" After Liu Dong's car came to a stop, Zhou Jun, who was responsible for the safety of more than 20 warehouses in the entire factory area, quickly came to greet him.
"Happy New Year, Brother Zhou!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Happy New Year, boss!" After Zhou Jun said, Guan Ping, Wei Xiaofei and Wang Tiezhu, who were next to him, also came up to say hello.
At first, there were only four of them bodyguards in the entire factory. Now the scale has expanded more than ten times to more than fifty people, and almost all of them are veterans through their connections in the army!
After saying hello to a few people, Liu Dong greeted Zhou Jun and walked into the office next to him. Of course, this office is still the same large factory building that is nearly ten meters high, twenty-five meters wide, and nearly eighty meters long!
Liu Dong didn't think much of it at first, but now he thinks this big factory building is becoming more and more inappropriate!
"Brother Zhou, take a seat!...I came here mainly to find out about the company's current material reserves!" Liu Dong said.
After taking over the furniture factory from Uncle Long, Liu Dong separated it from the Dongchao Group and turned it into a specialized material reserve and processing center. Zhou Jun also became the security captain and person in charge of material management of this material reserve center.
!
Basically, Zhou Jun is responsible for registering and managing the quantity of wood, raw jadeite, gold, diamonds, Hotan jade, Nanyang jade, Lantian jade and other soft jade purchased by the Dongchao Group, as well as the quantity of rubies, sapphires, lapis lazuli and other gems put into storage.
Nodding, Zhou Jun, who had already forced himself to get used to computer work, brought Liu Dong to the computer screen, then opened the file and introduced: "Now we have 138 square meters of small-leaf red sandalwood in stock, and huanghuali (sea yellow and Yuehuang).
19o square, chicken wing wood 36o square, golden nan 82 square, old mahogany 56o square, sunken wood 18o square, ebony (Southeast Asian black rosewood) 21,000 square meters, South American black rosewood 345oo square, Southeast Asian red rosewood 234oo square, camphor
189oo cubic meters of wood...!"
After reading it, Liu Dong nodded. He did not replenish the wood during this period, so the quantity of these wood reserves has dropped to varying degrees compared to when he took over from Uncle Long!
"We still have 368 pieces of raw jadeite in reserve, and there are still 134 pieces that have been unlocked but not processed, worth 150 million Chinese coins!"
"The half ton of gold you handed over has been sold. The diamonds are now only 12,000 carats. There are still less than 1200 kilograms of soft jade such as Hotan jade and Nanyang jade. They are urgently needed to be replenished! The reserves of other ruby sapphires, lapis lazuli, agate and other gemstones are only
25oo kilograms, extremely lacking!”
Liu Dong knew that he had not invested much money in purchasing raw materials in the first half of the year, and his energy was limited, so he could not purchase them all in person, so Liu Dong had the idea to set up a department specifically responsible for purchasing. This department is not only
Purchase all kinds of wood, gold and gems needed by Dongchao Group, and also purchase artworks from major auction houses for Liu Dong!
Of course, this matter cannot be rushed, and Liu Dong needs to solve it step by step!
"Boss, I want to make a suggestion!" Zhou Jun hesitated after Liu Dong read the reserve list.
"Okay. Just tell me!"
"Well, there are more and more workers in the processing center now, and they are mixed with the storage center. The safety risks are very serious, so I wonder if the entire factory area can be renovated to a certain extent to separate the storage area and the processing area.
?" Zhou Jun said.
As the security captain, he has a heavy responsibility, especially the gold and diamonds in the reserve center. There are also various gems, each of which is valuable. If any of them is lost, it will be his responsibility, and then he will be considered responsible.
The salary is not low, but you can’t afford compensation!
After nodding, Liu Dong said: "How many workers are there in the machining center now?"
"Manager Zhang is responsible for this, I'm not too sure!"
As soon as Zhou Jun finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a black down jacket with a medium build and a slightly fat figure strode in!
"Boss, you're here!" Zhang Wenjing stepped forward quickly when he saw Liu Dong sitting on the chair next to him.
The person in front of him is the old minister that Uncle Long left to him. He has been responsible for the management of the furniture factory. After he took over, the other person has been working hard, so Liu Dong also has great trust in this person.
"Manager Zhang, please sit down!"
"Hey!" After agreeing, Zhang Wenjing quickly sat down on the chair next to him.
"Manager Zhang, I would like to ask how many craftsmen and apprentices there are in our processing center now?"
"Now after the merger of Baoda Jewelry, the entire processing center is mainly divided into two parts: Quancheng and Zhengzhou. Quancheng already has masters engaged in jade processing and 245 apprentices! There are 134 masters engaged in woodworking and 312 apprentices.
People! There are 85 masters engaged in inlays and 378 apprentices! There are 159 other logistical catering, transportation and administrative staff! The number of apprentices in Zhengzhou is smaller. But there are more skilled craftsmen than in Quancheng, including
There are 256 jade carving masters and jewelry setting masters, and 379 apprentices!" Zhang Wenjing said.
"There are already so many people?"
Seeing Liu Dong's surprised look, Zhang Wenjing said: "Originally there were not so many people, but according to your request, we have reserved some more apprentices!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded clearly. This was indeed his request, in order to ensure the supply of products during the expansion of Dongchao Group. After all, it would take more than a dozen to train a qualified craftsman.
It takes too much time to become a talent in just one year, so it is necessary for Liu Dong to prepare early.
Moreover, it is normal for a master to have two or three apprentices.
So Liu Dong was not prepared to change anything, but the processing center with nearly a thousand people had obviously made the old furniture factory, which was originally quite spacious, crowded. No wonder Zhou Jun proposed to renovate the factory area!
"Let's go and have a look at the factory!"
Then, under the leadership of Zhang Wenjing and Zhou Jun, Liu Dong inspected the entire factory area. At this moment, half of the 32 large factory buildings with a length of 80 meters, a height of 10 meters and a width of 25 meters, four rows and eight rows, were occupied.
It is planned to become a machining center, and it is likely to continue to expand!
Of course, the remaining twenty warehouses are large enough. However, in addition to participating in the stone betting auction, Liu Dong also had to buy the precious stone worth US$120 million ordered from Vichai Sawangsuthi when he went to Myanmar this time.
Wood and gems are shipped back, so they will take up more material storage space.
And just as Zhou Jun was worried, the mixing of processing areas and storage areas is indeed a big problem in terms of safety.
In addition, with the increase in the number of people, the original dormitories behind the factory are no longer enough. Moreover, due to their age and disrepair, these dormitories are more like the tube buildings that were built in the 50s. They are no longer suitable for the living requirements of modern people, so they are urgently needed.
Remodel!
"Manager Zhang, I remember that there is a wasteland behind our factory. When the time comes, you can go to the city government and find out if there is an owner. If not, we will buy it!" Liu Dong hesitated and said.
"Buy it?"
Seeing Zhang Wenjing's surprised look, Liu Dong said with a smile: "Yes, buy it and build a new factory! Then partially transform the old factory into a raw material reserve area, and the new factory will be a processing area and accommodation area!"
"I understand, boss, I'll go tomorrow, no, I'll ask in the afternoon!" Zhang Wenjing said excitedly.
In the past six months, as the manager of the management center, he has received too many complaints and complaints because of the outdated factory facilities!
Similarly, Zhou Jun was also extremely surprised by Liu Dong's words!
"By the way, Brother Zhou, your security department will continue to recruit people and the security team will be doubled!"
"So many?" Zhou Jun said in surprise.
"Well, in two months, a large amount of precious wood and gems will be stored in the warehouse, so the security personnel must be expanded as soon as possible. Also, you have to be responsible for training them. Don't let them degenerate into ordinary people after leaving the army.
At that time, the security of our reserve center became a sieve!"
"Don't worry, boss!"
While several people were talking, a middle-aged woman wearing a dark red down jacket walked over quickly with her head lowered and a hint of sadness on her face.
"Mr. Liu?" Seeing Liu Dong walking between Zhou Jun and Zhang Wenjing, the middle-aged woman looked up and said in shock.
"Dean Chen, you are in such a hurry, do you want to teach the children?" Since Liu Dong took over the furniture factory, he has not banned Uncle Long's charity of adopting orphans, and has even invested more money.
, and also used a vacant factory building behind the factory to build an orphanage, and hired special teachers to teach these children! And the teacher Chen in front of me is the director of the orphanage!
"Yes!" Chen Kaihui nodded. After saying hello to Liu Dong, he was about to leave, but soon stopped. After a slight hesitation, he raised his head and looked directly at Liu Dong and said, "Mr. Liu, can I ask you something?"
Something?"
"Dean Chen, please tell me!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Can you... donate some more money to our orphanage?" After finishing speaking stumblingly, Chen Kaihui's face showed a deep look of embarrassment.
It was really hard for her to ask others for money, but thinking of those poor children, she had to do it no matter how embarrassing it was.
"Okay, no problem!" Liu Dong agreed happily.
