Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

When we arrived at the lumber mill, we saw the big iron gate was locked with a thick chain. Opposite the gate was a row of factory buildings, estimated to be about 500 to 600 square meters. On the right stood a two-story building, which should be the office.

Across the yard, there is a large wooden shed, which occupies a large area and is filled with wood. The whole place looks quite decent, but the yard is overgrown with weeds and looks a bit abandoned.

"Who are you looking for?" An old man with gray hair and a slightly hunched back walked out slowly from the small gatehouse.

"Uncle, do you recognize me? I was here a while ago." Zhang Gong was waving at the old man enthusiastically.

"Oh, it's you kid, what's the matter?" the old man asked casually.

"Uncle, we want to rent this place. Can you open the door and let us take a look?" Zhang Gongzheng smiled and said, "Just take a look and don't cause any trouble to you." As he spoke, he handed over a pack of cigarettes.

"No, no!" The old man declined, but he had a good impression of Zhang Gongzheng and thought that the young man was smart and capable, so he took out the key and opened the door, smiling, "This place has been empty for more than a year. It's rare for someone to come. I'm very happy that you are here."

Zhou Qi also had a good impression of this old man and felt that he was not as confused as Zhang Gongzheng had described before.

With a clang, the chain was untied, and the old man led everyone inside, introducing the place: "This used to be a lumber mill, but it was later closed down... There were warehouses, workshops, offices, and a canteen. The machines have been sold, but everything else is still there. The tables, chairs, and benches are all usable, and the kitchen utensils are complete, so you can cook at any time."

Perhaps it was because he accepted the cigarettes from Zhang Gongzheng, or perhaps it was because there were not many people to chat with on weekdays, but the old man started talking and talked nonstop.

After a round tour, I found that the warehouse and workshop had a suitable height. Without the machines, there were some scattered and empty spaces left. Words echoed, and the windows all around were bright and well ventilated. Although they had not been used for more than a year, the air was a little stuffy, but there was no smell of mold.

Over in the office building, just as the old man said, everything is still there, including old sofas, desks, chairs, and even a small canteen where people can cook by just making a fire.

Overall, it can be used immediately after a little tidying up.

"Uncle, do you know how to rent this land and how much is the rent?" Zhou Qi asked.

The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm not sure about this. This land is under the jurisdiction of the State-owned Assets Department. You have to go there to inquire. But I vaguely remember that it is rented on an annual basis. The annual fee is not low, probably tens of thousands of yuan. By the way, what kind of business are you planning to do?"

"I'm planning to open a small company and sell some things." Zhou Qi smiled and asked, "Uncle, besides us, has anyone else come here during this period?"

"No, this is the first time in more than a year!" the old man replied.

"Okay, thank you, sir. We won't bother you any more. We'll leave first."

As soon as they left the lumber mill, Zhang Gongzheng couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Qi, what do you think of this place?"

"It suits my taste." Zhou Qi replied.

"See, I told you. I ran all the way after receiving your order. As soon as I saw this place, I was sure. I am the only one who understands Brother Qi's thoughts!" Zhang Gongzheng smiled proudly, "Brother Qi, you said you want to start a company. What kind of company do you plan to open? Also, what position are you going to assign me once the company opens?"

Starting a company is no small matter.

Once the company is established, he will be a veteran figure. In addition, with his friendship with Zhou Qi, his monthly salary must be at least fifty dollars, so his position is naturally not low, so he was anxious to inquire.

Zhou Qi had long expected him to ask this question, and he probably had this idea in his mind for a long time.

"Director of Dispatch, how does that sound?" Zhou Qi said with a smile.

When Zhang Gongzheng heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

His father worked in the grain warehouse for half his life before he became a dispatching director. Now he could be on equal footing with his father right away. The thought of doing so made him feel happy.

But then he changed his mind and asked, "What about Jun Ge and Qin Quan? What are their positions?"

Zhou Qi understood his little thoughts, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Jun is different from you. He does not participate in the daily management of the company. To be precise, he is my personal assistant.

As for Qinquan, he is mainly in charge of finance. At present, the core of the company is just the three of us: you, me, and Qinquan. As the dispatch director, you have a heavy responsibility. You are responsible for almost half of the company's operations. I have high hopes for you, so you have to work harder. "

The operation of half a company?

Isn't this obviously referring to the position of deputy manager?

"Brother Qi, you are too modest. Why not just let me be the deputy manager?" Zhang Gongzheng said with a smile.

"Okay, you can be the deputy manager." Zhou Qi patted him with a smile and continued, "But our company is not established yet, and we have to spend money everywhere, such as renting a lumber mill, which is a huge sum. How about you invest some money in it?"

Zhang Gongzheng's face fell a little when he heard this, but he still didn't give up. He rolled his eyes and said, "How about I use the advance of one year's salary to invest?"

Want to get rid of nothing?

You think quickly.

"That's fine, but one year's salary is not enough. How about this, I'll advance you three years' salary. If you agree, I'll draft the contract right away." Zhou Qi proposed.

Three years’ salary for nothing?

Fifty dollars a month, that’s eighteen hundred dollars for three years, which is not a small amount.

"Well, I'd better give up. The company has just started and I need some experience. The job of dispatch director is quite suitable for me. I think it's great." Zhang Gongzheng waved his hand and said.

"Okay, that's it." Zhou Qi patted his shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "It seems that I have to take the lead again, but we are brothers. As long as you work hard and make achievements, it is only a matter of time before you are promoted to vice president."

"Is it true?" Zhang Gongzheng's eyes flickered with hope.

"How could I lie to you?" Zhou Qi said with a smile, "Tell me, between you and Qin Quan, who is more qualified to sit in the position of vice president?"

"It must be me!" Zhang Gongzheng was full of confidence.

"That's right. If you want to sit on that chair, you have to fight for it now. Even if I intend to promote you, everyone has to be convinced." Zhou Qi said earnestly.

"Brother Qi, don't worry, I will never let you down." Zhang Gongzheng patted his chest and vowed, "From now on, you are my real brother, I will hit you wherever you point your finger."

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you have to change your attitude. You can't just do whatever I say. You have to think ahead of me and be ahead of me in many things. You are a veteran of the company, you have to have this awareness. In short, the interests of the company come first."

"Like the goods in the warehouse..."

"As the dispatch director, shouldn't you be solely responsible for loading and shipping? Do I need to say anything more? If I say one more word, you'll be embarrassed."
