Chapter 1440

Gu Qing nodded in agreement: "When the Chairman started the reform, I was very expectant, but I didn't expect that in just two short years, the winery would develop to such a scale.

Not to mention distributing dividends to employees, just the fact that we are distributing so many benefits for the New Year is something we wouldn't have dared to think about before."

Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette: "The days ahead will get better and better."

Gu Qing smiled: "I believe this. As long as the Chairman is here, it would be hard for these days not to be good."

Yao Jun asked: "For the employee housing, after the fifteenth, we'll draw lots. How will the price be set?"

Zhou Andong said: "This is welfare housing; the price must be reasonable. Moreover, a portion of the funds came from the money from selling Yuxi Real Estate, which belongs to all employees."

Gu Qing said: "Selling to employees at cost price, about three hundred per square meter. In addition, there is the property management fee; we collect five mao, the winery reimburses three mao, and the individual bears two mao."

Zhou Andong asked: "For the commercial part, how much do you plan to sell per square meter?"

Gu Qing pondered and said: "Six hundred to seven hundred should be about right."

"The vision is too small," Zhou Andong said very calmly: "The pricing should be over twelve hundred."

"What?"

It wasn't just Gu Qing; even Yao Jun was startled.

At six to seven hundred, it's not certain how many will be sold.

At twelve hundred per square meter, which sucker are you going to sell it to?

In the capital, except for those few well-known high-end residential areas, the housing price is only a little over one thousand.

In this fourth-tier small city of Jiangzhou, pricing it at twelve hundred—who gave the Chairman this courage?

Seeing the shocked expressions of Gu Qing and Yao Jun, Zhou Andong smiled.

"We are not short of money; we don't need to rely on selling houses to recover funds. So, if someone buys, we sell; if no one buys, we hoard them."

Gu Qing wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally couldn't help but say: "Although inflation has been very severe in the past two years, and prices have been rising constantly. Housing prices across the country, especially in the capital, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou.

Because of the impact of the bursting of the Hainan real estate bubble, they started to return to normal in the second half of last year. Maybe there will still be growth, but this process will be very long. Is it really reasonable for us to hoard houses like this?"

"What you said makes a lot of sense," Zhou Andong nodded: "After all, we are a real estate company, hoarding land is very reasonable, but hoarding houses seems a bit counterproductive.

However, the price I set is not without purpose. After the Sky Garden and the surrounding supporting facilities are built, I will carry out large-scale publicity.

Even if we can't sell them all, we definitely won't be unable to sell a single one. Especially real estate sales, this thing is also a long-term process. It's impossible to build them and sell them all in one or two years."

"How to publicize?"

Gu Qing didn't understand how to publicize so that houses at over one thousand per square meter could be sold. Could it be that there would really be fools coming to buy them?

"Keep it secret for now," Zhou Andong said with a smile: "You'll know when the time comes. I guarantee that there will definitely be people buying houses at over one thousand."

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, Gu Qing became even more curious, as if many ants were crawling, itchy and uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but want to know, but Zhou Andong just wouldn't say, leaving her very helpless.

At this time, another group of employees pushing bicycles walked over from the opposite side.

"Chairman!" a middle-aged man shouted: "President Gu, Yao Zong, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year!" the three of them replied with a smile.

"Chairman," another employee asked: "Will next year's dividends really be more than this year's?"

"Yes!" Zhou Andong said affirmatively: "As long as everyone works hard and brews our wine well, the more we sell, the more dividends there will be."

"Chairman, President Gu, Yao Zong, it's noon, come to my house for a meal."

Another employee lifted the meat hanging on the handlebar.

"When I get home, I'll have my wife stew the meat."

Zhou Andong laughed loudly: "If you stew it all, what will you eat for the New Year?"

"Hey!" This employee said heroically: "I'll just buy more for the New Year. Buying some meat, how much money can it cost?"

"Yes!" Another employee said: "Chairman, President Gu, Yao Zong, go to my house. My mom's cooking is delicious, not worse than a hotel chef."

"Chairman, go to my house."

"President Gu, go to my house."

"Yao Zong, you guys should go to my house."

"..."

A group of people enthusiastically invited the three to their homes for Little New Year, and the three were truly moved.

"Alright, alright," Zhou Andong raised his hand: "Thank you all for your enthusiastic invitations. When we have time, we will definitely go. But not this year; we also have to go home for Little New Year and gather with our families, right?"

"Thank you all."

"Thank you!"

Gu Qing and Yao Jun were very happy and kept thanking them.

As a leader, making employees afraid is easy, but making employees respect and love you is not an easy thing.

Zhou Andong, Gu Qing, and Yao Jun were surrounded and chatted for a while before dispersing.

The three continued to walk toward the warehouse, encountering more and more employees.

A few minutes' walk took more than half an hour.

A long queue had formed at the entrance of the warehouse.

Monkey and the others had just finished collecting their things and were putting them on their bicycles.

Because there were too many things, Old Gong's bicycle kickstand suddenly tilted and fell to one side.

Zhou Andong happened to pass by and grabbed it to steady it.

Old Gong looked up and saw it was Zhou Andong; he was stunned for a moment, and then became a bit at a loss.

Zhou Andong said: "What are you stunned for? Hurry up and put the things on."

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Old Gong hurriedly put the things in his hands on the bicycle and then propped up the kickstand.

"Thank... thank you, Chairman."

"It's snowing, hurry home; the road will be hard to walk on in a while."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "After collecting the dividends and benefits, go home and have a drink, and have a good Little New Year."

Old Gong smiled awkwardly: "Chairman, I'm leaving."

"Go ahead," Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Don't ride the bike; although the snow on the road isn't thick, it's very slippery."

Old Gong didn't speak, pushed his bicycle, lowered his head, and walked forward quickly.

He truly regretted it in his heart, and felt ashamed, because he didn't trust Zhou Andong at the beginning.

He was very resistant to the share subscription matter, thinking that Zhou Andong was cheating them out of their money.

But now that he thought about it, how ignorant he was; he regretted it so much he wanted to slap himself a few times.

Monkey and several others also pushed their bicycles and left; they really couldn't keep their faces on.

Because everyone who knew them would tease them a few times.

Some were joking, while others were truly full of malice.

"The Chairman is here!"

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

"President Gu!"

"Yao Zong!"

Another burst of enthusiastic greetings.

"Hello everyone, hello everyone."

With the dividends and the distribution of such generous benefits, Zhou Andong's prestige among the employees rose by another large margin, reaching its peak; he could be said to be unrivaled for a time.
