Chapter 1136 - 1138
Gong Ruini complained a bit and thought they’d only go out to play when the winter vacation started.
But no, early in the morning, Zhao Xuran dragged her out of bed.
Yes, dragged. Gong Ruini had never traveled like this before.
Even when they rushed home overnight, she wasn’t this disheveled.
When Gong Ruini woke up again, she found herself lying in the passenger seat.
The most important thing was she realized there were only she and Zhao Xuran in the car.
"Where’s Xiao Zhi and the others?" Gong Ruini yawned. Yesterday, Gong Ruzhi was excited all day about going to the hot springs.
Why weren’t they here now? Did they take another car? Looking out the window at the scenery, Gong Ruini felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Aren’t we going to the hot springs?" Gong Ruini was displeased.
"No, we’re not going to the hot springs." Zhao Xuran cautiously drove the car, wanting to get Gong Ruini breakfast, but couldn’t spare a hand.
"There’s an insulated box in the back with breakfast in it."
Gong Ruini made a sound of acknowledgment as she got out from her blanket, only to be scared half to death by the big package below.
She actually saw skiing equipment, "We’re going skiing?"
Oh my, although there’s snow outside Beijing, it’s not easy to find a place like Northeast for skiing.
Gong Ruini couldn’t remember how many years it had been since she last skied.
"Is there a ski resort nearby?" Gong Ruini’s eyes sparkled.
If they could really ski, it would be big news, "We might consider spending the New Year here."
Only Mr. Zhuge, Mr. Wan, the twins, and Gong Ruzhi haven’t skied.
But young people would likely enjoy this sport; Gong Ruini could foresee how excited they’d be.
"By the way, are there houses nearby?" Gong Ruini remembered there was a ski resort near Beijing, though the environment wasn’t great.
Many people think of going abroad for skiing or Northeast, but being close to Beijing is an advantage.
For example, you can go for a day or spend a weekend without wasting much time on the road, even if flying round-trip, it doesn’t save much time or money.
So for ordinary people, this ski resort has potential.
We can’t always do business with the rich; we need to consider the needs of ordinary people, they’re the main spenders of the future.
"Yes, we’re looking at houses this time, and if possible, we’ll build directly." Zhao Xuran was increasingly interested in building houses.
Even though house transactions are few now, the state-owned enterprise’s benefits are gradually declining; what about welfare housing distribution in the future?
Regarding the welfare of state-owned enterprises, Zhao Xuran felt it couldn’t sustain.
This poses a huge issue: when kids grow up, how will they marry?
Without welfare housing, they’ll have to buy houses, and that’s when house building will boom.
With so many people nationwide, just in Beijing alone, selling houses to them is a huge income.
Also, the graduates staying in Beijing working for foreign enterprises, foreigners are here to make money, they’ll pay employees high wages, but they won’t agree with state-owned enterprise benefits, especially house building.
"Ni Zi, what if we acquire land in the center of Beijing to build houses for those working at foreign enterprises?" Those people earn high salaries but live in ordinary places.
If there are better houses that reflect their status, Zhao Xuran thought they’d definitely be tempted.
Not bad, progress. This is building houses based on customer needs, "I think it’s feasible."
"We can find a design company in Hong Kong." Gong Ruini recalled the pitiful house designs there, "But we must stick to our ideas."
"Absolutely." Although Zhao Xuran hadn’t been to Hong Kong or experienced its cramped living, from what he heard from Hong Kong people, he was quite shocked by the housing situation there.
"Housing there is expensive, fitting more people into limited space results in odd designs." Zhao Xuran could understand.
But this is our signature, "We can’t mess it up."
Gong Ruini nodded continuously, since it’s their brand, it can’t have issues, or there’d be no future.
The key issue is, "Is there enough space in the city center?" Gong Ruini really didn’t want to negotiate with the original residents.
Otherwise, they’d spend a lot, with a few families holding firm, even if time would bring them richer rewards.
Then it becomes a big joke, definitely ridiculed by peers endlessly.
"And do we have enough money?" In the future, acquiring land, after sketching house and community designs, houses could be pre-sold, easing financial pressure.
But now they’re pioneers, even lowering house prices wouldn’t prompt many to buy; they’d have various worries.
Even if someone buys, she’s unwilling; raising house prices later, people would compare earlier prices.
Might as well make houses increasingly costly, showing good houses should be bought early.
If they think it’s expensive, they shouldn’t buy; even renting would fill their pockets with rent income.
Sell houses after thirty years, that profit outweighs bank interests.
"We have enough money, we can owe some things." Zhao Xuran wouldn’t allow others to owe him money, but he could owe them.
Strong, Gong Ruini didn’t think this was a problem, companies eager for business often agree to credit sales; it’s public money anyway.
Ensuring quality, keeping money longer lets them manage more and better projects, earning more.
Only fools would disagree, "We must do this."
"Owe as much as possible."
"Good quality ensures future collaboration."
Otherwise, how could they convince suppliers to rush deliveries? Gong Ruini regretted they hadn’t thought of this during factory construction.
If they had, the factory could’ve been bigger and better, avoiding large bank loans.
Even with low interest, it’s still money. She couldn’t think further, or she’d collapse.
Seeing Gong Ruini’s conflicted face, Zhao Xuran knew she was pondering lost interest money.
This girl, if they hadn’t built so many factories, would anyone willingly offer credit?
"We’re private, not a state-owned enterprise." Zhao Xuran calmly pointed out where they lacked.
Ahhh, she forgot this. Even well-established private enterprises still seem unreliable to many.
Only with diverse operations will agreements happen; otherwise, if one folds, what then? It’s not yet time to use any means for business.
