Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Ting'an found five or six comrades who had come earlier to help them settle in. The environment was similar. There were twelve rooms on each floor of the six-story building facing north and south. Each room was more than 20 square meters, with a cement floor and bunk beds. It could accommodate four people. Even the walls had not been painted with white putty yet.

The south side faces the factory site, which is noisy and dusty, so the dormitory on the north side has better conditions.

The group was settled on the third floor, with Zhang Ting'an and his team living on the first floor. The first and second floors were currently occupied by the construction team, and the fourth floor was temporarily set up as their office, storing a large amount of information and equipment.

Zhang Renkang convened a meeting of the Hong Kong Island group on the fourth floor with Zhang Ting'an, Yu Du, Sun Teng and Zhao Yiming.

Zhang Renkang said softly

"Comrades, in accordance with the requirements of our superiors, we will now set up a leadership group for the China Automobile Group to unify the leadership of our work in Hong Kong."

"Comrade Zhang Renkang is the Party Secretary of China Automobile Group and the Chairman of China Automobile Group."

"Comrade Zhang Ting'an, serves as deputy secretary of the Party Committee Group and externally serves as general manager"

"Comrade Yu Du, member of the Party Committee Group, externally serves as Chief Engineer"

"Comrade Sun Teng, member of the Party Committee Group, externally serves as the general commander of the construction"

Sun Teng is the Chinese representative transferred by the Ministry of Industry to be in charge of the construction of the China Automobile Industry Group. After all, Zhang Renkang and Zhang Tingan are laymen in the field of construction, and the acceptance work still needs professional talents.

"Comrade Zhao Yiming, member of the Party Committee Group, externally as the Manager of the Foreign Affairs Sales Department"

Zhao Yiming is a comrade from the Hong Kong Office. He was previously responsible for negotiating and communicating with the Hong Kong government and local forces. Now the structure and production methods of China Automobile Group in Hong Kong are very different from those in China.

They need to find customers and sell after completing production. They need a person who has connections with various forces and has certain communication skills.

That's why the superiors transferred Zhao Yiming from the Hong Kong Island Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Zhang Renkang.

After Zhang Renkang announced the appointment, he smiled and said

"Today is the first party group meeting of our Huaguo Automobile Group. Although the conditions are simple, the results and the future are indeed bright."

"I think we should keep this small cement room as it is. After a few years, we will grow and become stronger. This will be a great history that records the first step."

Zhang Tingan and others laughed and turned to look at

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

“Although it is not as good as the Red Boat, this is the Red Boat of our China Automobile Group, carrying the expectations of the country and the people, and also carrying the future of my country's automobile industry.”

"For the next work, my opinion is that Comrade Zhang Ting'an will be responsible for the ideological construction and guidance of the team, and cooperate with Comrade Sun Teng to complete the acceptance and follow-up work of the factory construction."

"Of course, Comrade Yu Du should also take more care of the workshop production and other related facilities."

"This is not China. We must fully demonstrate the spirit of our Communist Party members and pay attention to the way we communicate."

Several people nodded. Except for Yu Du, they all lived in Hong Kong Island or had gone through many work negotiations and had experience.

The workers here don't really care whether you are a leader or not, especially since most of them communicate in Cantonese. Most of Zhang Renkang's group are from the north, so there are certain difficulties in language communication. In addition, they are used to the idea of ​​equality for all and workers first in China, but in Hong Kong they are very angry about the idea of ​​money first and that human life is not as important as money.

This kind of conflict in concepts often leads to unnecessary conflicts in Hong Kong Island.

Just like Sun Teng had a conflict with several local construction team contractors in Hong Kong Island in the early stage. The cause was that a worker was fired from the team because of illness and weakness. What was even more hateful was that he was not even paid.

Sun Teng questioned the contractor who led the team and wanted to help the workers get their wages, which almost caused a fierce conflict between the Hong Kong team and the construction team.

In the end, it was Zhang Ting'an and Mr. Huo, who happened to be here to discuss the transportation of materials, who stepped in to temporarily suppress the situation.

The Huo family paid the worker back wages, and under the pressure of the Huo family, all construction teams held a meeting and decided not to delay or deduct workers' wages, otherwise the construction site would not cooperate.

This also made the people who were addicted to the prosperity of Hong Kong Island feel the conflict between beliefs and concepts for the first time. People here may really be worse than a dog.

(Hong Kong Island in real times was even more cruel, and saying that people were worse than dogs was an exaggeration)

"Give everyone two days to rest, and then start working according to the work assignment plan."

"Comrade Zhao Yiming, come with me tomorrow to meet the head of the He family and the popular Li Jiacheng."

After the meeting, Zhang Renkang went straight to the construction site. Zhang Tingan was responsible for familiarizing the team members of Hong Kong Island, so Sun Teng accompanied him to visit the construction site and introduce the deployment of the factory area.

"The dormitory area where we are located is in the southern part of the factory. It is planned to have five staff buildings and one cadre building, which can accommodate more than 2,800 employees and 36 cadre apartments planned in the cadre building."

"To the north is the planned workshop area and test site. To the east of the workshop, a 12-story office building is planned to be built, facing the east gate and the square between the east gate."

"The northernmost area has a warehouse, a medical office, and an exhibition center. It is also the location of the sales department. Currently, there are six people recruited by Manager Zhao who form the foundation of the sales department."

"Look here"

Sun Teng pointed to the newly excavated foundation and explained

"This is the office building we planned. It was originally planned to be a 22-story building. Later, the designer referred to foreign architectural design experience and proposed that we use two 12-story office buildings, connected by a corridor in the middle, and the top floor will be capped as a sky garden."

"Mr. Huo and Ms. Lou were very interested in this plan. Later, Director Zhang thought about it again and again and agreed to this plan."

Zhang Renkang looked in the direction Sun Teng pointed.

This location is right in the middle of the entire factory, slightly to the west. Concrete is being poured into the foundation, and the steel bars have already been buried.

Smiled and said

"The back of here is the western workshop production area, right?"

Sun Teng nodded and explained

"Yes, according to the first phase of the project plan, we will complete the construction of Workshop No. 1 within four months, and complete the equipment debugging and circuit."

"The canteen should be located on the second floor of the office building, but the building will not be delivered until the end of next year. So we temporarily built a temporary canteen on the west side of the workshop. The land was purchased with additional funds from Mr. Huo."

Zhang Renkang frowned and said in surprise

"You mean the Huo family bought an additional piece of land on top of the existing land?"

Sun Teng nodded and said

“It is nearly one hundred acres in size.”

"But it has nothing to do with the factory. This is the personal behavior of the Huo family."

"I heard that the Huo family is planning to develop a commercial complex similar to the department store in Sijiu City, with more functions."

Zhang Renkang was full of admiration. He didn't expect these people to have such a keen vision. The factory hasn't been built yet, and there is no plan for the development of this area, but they have already discovered the potential for the future.

The Huo family has laid out a money printing machine in the future.

Zhang Renkang didn't build this place as a production factory at all. This is the Hong Kong Island R&D center of China Automobile Group. The people here are either engineers and senior technicians, or white-collar workers and high-income groups.

And from the perspective of the Hong Kong Island government's plan, this area will become Hong Kong Island's new economic engine, an industrial and commercial center that is no less powerful than the current Victoria Bay Area.
