"Looking back on the past, we are filled with emotions. Today, we are confident. Looking to the future, we will sing loudly! Next, we will invite General Manager Feng Feng Yu to give a speech. Everyone, please give him a round of applause! "
After Li Mingde gave a passionate speech, he took the lead to applaud.
Feng Yu waved his hands: "Thank you for your applause. In the past year, we had achieved great things. We can say that we had created the most glorious year for the Machinery Company since the Machinery Factory was set up. Of course, this glory will continue. Let's put it simply. Last year, I had made money from my investments. This money is because of everyone's contributions. So, this year, I will apply to the City to buy the land north of our factory. We will build a new apartment for all of you! "
Hua hua hua ~ ~ ~
The applause was twice as loud as before. All of the workers were very excited. This was related to their personal interests. How could they not be happy? Especially those youngsters. They had long wanted a new house. If they were squeezed into a 30 square meter house with their parents, how are they going to live after they got married?
"Now, there are two choices. First, we will still build these old dormitories. The Machinery Company will own the property rights, and all of you will only have the right to live there. Once you resign from the company or are fired, the company will take back your dormitory. Second, we will take a portion of the construction costs, but this house will belong to all of you. All of you can buy and sell it freely. Even if you all leave the company one day, this house will still be yours! Which option do you all choose? "
"Second option! We want our own house! "Someone shouted.
"Yes. Second option, we want our own house."
The welfare housing system had been implemented since the early 1980s. The individual will pay a portion of the cost, and the unit will subsidize the rest. The property rights will belong to the individual. The advantage was that the house will belong to the individual and can be bought and sold freely. It was much bigger than the ordinary dormitories. There were even 3 bedrooms for 3 generations to live under one roof.
"Ok. I know what all of you want. Then, we will use the second option. We will raise funds to build the welfare housing. There are two choices for the welfare housing. Two bedrooms and three bedrooms. Two bedrooms are smaller and suitable for a family of 3. Three bedrooms are bigger and suitable for 3 generations. But at the same time, three bedrooms are more expensive. "
"Two bedrooms."
"Three bedrooms."
The workers all craned their necks and shouted, but this time, there was no consensus.
"Since everyone has their own needs, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments can be built. When the time comes, everyone will have the resources to subscribe. Those who meet our criteria will have a spot. The criteria will be announced later. Everyone can submit their applications and hand them over to the team leader. Then, they will be sent to our union. There's another problem. Should we build an old-fashioned, low-rise building or a high-rise building like the one in the city center with elevators? Speaking of which, the cost of a short building and a tall building are about the same. "
The eyes of the employees below lit up. What? They could even live in high-rise buildings with elevators? We workers can also live in such a good house?
"Tall buildings, tall buildings are good."
"Short buildings are good, but what if the elevator falls down?"
"Everyone else didn't fall off, but you did? You've never taken a lift to work. "
It seemed that no one could agree on this, but Feng Yu still had a way.
"Alright, I understand everyone's wishes. I will also make a list later. We will consider it comprehensively and ensure that every employee can live in the most satisfactory housing. Next, I will announce a piece of good news. Our workers' hospital will be converted to a shareholding hospital. We will buy the most advanced equipment from the rest of the world and hire experts and professors. The City Government had agreed! "
The workers began to applaud again. This was also something that was beneficial to them. How could they not be happy? So what if the hospital was restructured? Anyway, they did not have to spend a lot of money to see the doctors. Also, the doctors were more skilled and had better equipment.
General Manager Li had said that the hospital will not need the Machinery Company's subsidies in the future. This will help the Machinery Company reduce their medical bills. This was a good thing.
"Lastly, although we had built a new factory last year and our funds were tight, it will not affect everyone's Lunar New Year. This year will be the same as last year. All of you will get an extra month's salary as a year-end bonus! "
The applause got louder. Some workers were cheering for General Manager Feng and General Manager Li. Li Mingde was so happy that his face was full of wrinkles.
"Do you all know why we are holding our workers' meeting at the City's Cultural Palace? It is not only because there are not enough seats there. There is another important reason. We had invited the performers from the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe to bring an exciting program to all of you. General Manager Li, let's carry these tables down ourselves. We don't want to disturb everyone. "Feng Yu smiled and said.
"Ok. I am also waiting to sit down and watch the program."
The workers below roared with laughter, and as the curtains opened, applause rang out.
… …
At night, the workers returned home and told their families about today's news. After that, they discussed with their families what to do.
The next day, the workers saw the company's notice to all the departments and workshops. All of them were excited.
"Eh, did you see that? We are giving up our old dormitory, and we can even use it as a discount. My family must be living in a bigger house. My parents are retiring, and I am getting married. They can help me take care of my children in the future."
"It's a pity that I can only buy two houses. Why didn't my parents work at the Machinery Factory in the past?"
"That is still better than them. They need to work for at least 3 years before they can apply. They had only been here for less than a year. I wonder if they will still have such a good apartment when they have reached the age limit. "
… …
"Look at this. The old dormitory will be vacated and can be used as a single dormitory. Can we also apply for this?"
"Are you stupid? The new apartment will be coming down this fall. Why are you still staying in a single dormitory? You can apply for a bigger house. "
"But I am not married yet. I am not qualified to apply for a bigger house."
"You and Lingling should get married quickly. Both of you are working for more than 3 years. You should be qualified. Also, both of you can apply together, and the discount will be higher. Both of you only need to use some of your savings to buy a new apartment. This is a high-rise apartment with elevators in the city center. Even those government agencies in the province do not have such good apartments! "
"That's right. You can also use the apartment vacated by your parents. You can also apply for a bigger house. Uncle Li's family has the advantage of this rule. His son is working in the City Government, and his parents are eligible. Their children are not taking over his job, and they can use some savings to buy a two-bedroom apartment. With elevators, it will be more convenient for them to go up and down the building. "
The terms were very detailed, but none of the employees felt that it was unreasonable. The higher-ups also promised that there will be one Welfare Apartment every year. Everyone will have the chance to use it, and there was no hurry. Everyone ignored the fact that they can also apply for the old dormitory. With elevators, it was spacious and bright. Who would want to buy those old dormitories?
The Machinery Company's employees were very happy. In the whole city, no, even the whole province did not have such good conditions. This year was too blissful!
Li Mingde could not help but sigh. General Manager Feng always had his ways to make the employees follow his wishes … …
