Chapter 1583

Zhou Andong, Gu Bing, and Wu Huilin stood in front of the window watching the main gate; in just over ten minutes, the crowd began to disperse slowly.

Wu Huilin said with a smile: "It seems they've accepted it."

Gu Bing glanced at Zhou Andong and snorted: "Regardless of whether the liquor factory reimburses more than half, you're still a profiteer."

Zhou Andong asked: "Do you know why the property companies in Shencheng and Yangcheng are called management companies, while I had Yuxi Property registered as a service company?"

Gu Bing was stunned: "Is there a difference?"

"Of course there's a difference. One is management, the other is service. Property work itself is a commodity, and the owner's property fee is used to purchase property services."

"Property service highlights the word 'service,' embodying the service essence of property work. Property management highlights the word 'manage,' while ignoring the master-servant relationship where the owner is the master and the property company is the assistant."

"It even causes the relationship between the two to be inverted, turning the property company into the master, and the property company and the owners become the manager and the managed, which is extremely wrong."

In 2007, the Property Rights Law was promulgated. In order to regulate the property market and highlight the service essence of property enterprises, it was changed from "property management" to "property service."

It clearly corrected the previously confused relationship between owners and property management, restoring it to the normal legal correspondence, thereby strengthening the status of owners as the owners of the property.

However, many property companies swap concepts, changing their names from management companies to service management companies. Even if they register as service companies, they still can't position themselves correctly, treating themselves as the masters of the residential complex, managing the owners, or even riding on the owners' heads to act like tyrants.

Zhou Andong continued: "The owner is the master of the residential complex; the owner purchases property services, not property management—this is the correct relationship between the two."

"If the property company cannot position itself correctly, treats itself as a manager to manage the owners, or even treats itself as the master of the new complex, the conflict between owners and property management will only deepen in the future."

Zhou Andong's words left Gu Bing and Wu Huilin deep in thought.

Because in Xiangjiang, property companies are also management companies.

And Zhou Andong had redefined property management.

"I can't control other people, but under my watch, property management is a service enterprise. Only in this way can the relationship between property management and owners develop in a healthy direction."

Gu Bing laughed: "That still doesn't hide the fact that you're a profiteer. Why should the property fee be fifty cents?"

Zhou Andong glanced at Gu Bing: "From now on, all enterprises under the Yugong Group must be handed over to Yuxi Property for service."

He doesn't want to make black-hearted money from the owners, but from the enterprises, this money must be made.

Gu Bing's face turned black immediately: "For security, we have Jindan Security; for cleaning, we have our own employees. We don't need property services."

"I am the Chairman." Zhou Andong smiled: "What I say goes."

Wu Huilin said with a smile: "Outsourcing security and property services isn't bad either; it saves worry."

"Look!" Zhou Andong looked at Gu Bing with disdain: "Now you know why your wife can serve as the Group President while you can only be a beer factory director. Putting ability aside, just in terms of vision, you can't compare."

"Work is over!" Gu Bing pulled Wu Huilin: "Let's go."

Zhou Andong laughed out loud: "I'm going to Qian's place to mooch a meal."

The news that the Yugong Liquor Industry employee building had topped out and that the number drawing would be the day after tomorrow spread quickly.

In the industrial park, at the Jiang Xiaobai main factory, Qian Zhen sat in his office, looking helplessly at the few people in front of him.

One was the Executive Vice General Manager and Deputy Factory Director Jiang Hongshan, and the other was the Marketing Vice General Manager Zhao Ming.

There were also the General Manager's Office Director Chen Li, Human Resources Department Minister Zhao Tengyu, and Finance Department Minister Feng Qihai.

Except for Zhao Ming and Jiang Hongshan, who were promoted from branch factories, all of these people were poached with money.

Because Jiang Xiaobai and Yugong Liquor Industry were not far apart, just diagonally opposite, less than a hundred meters away.

Work had already ended, and they had all left the office building, and then they heard the employees around them talking.

The Yugong Liquor Industry employee building would have its number drawing the day after tomorrow, and they couldn't sit still, so they all ran over to find Qian Zhen.

"The old employees of the liquor factory are about to live in a building, and an elevator building at that. And this spring, the branch factory employee building will also start construction. We, Jiang Xiaobai, have been split off, like abandoned children."

The one speaking was Chen Li; she wasn't very old, just thirty-five or thirty-six, not very tall, but very beautiful.

"Our biological parents don't want us anymore; if you, this adoptive father, don't care about us either, then we won't be able to live."

"Exactly!" Jiang Hongshan was just over forty, thin and tall, looking very scholarly: "You are a director, and in front of Chairman Zhou, you are the only one who can get a word in. If you don't care, this matter might drag on indefinitely."

Qian Zhen said helplessly: "We'll go talk to Director Wu about this tomorrow first, that's fine, right?"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The office door was knocked on. Qian Zhen checked the time; work was over, who would be coming back?

"Come in!"

Zhou Andong pushed the door open and walked in: "Oh, so many people."

"Chairman, you came at the right time." Qian Zhen pointed to the five people in front of him: "They have something to ask you."

As soon as the five heard this, the expressions on their faces suddenly became very colorful, and the looks they gave Qian Zhen were very resentful.

Leader, we don't play like that. We came to you so you would go talk to the Chairman.

Zhou Andong looked at the few people; he was more familiar with Jiang Hongshan, and he had only met the others once before the New Year.

The five people's expressions were all a bit unnatural, and Zhou Andong looked astonished.

"What's the matter, so hard to say?" Zhou Andong looked at Jiang Hongshan: "Old Jiang, you say it."

Being named, Jiang Hongshan bit the bullet and said: "It's about the employee building. Yugong Liquor Industry's employee building is already drawing numbers, so we came to ask Director Qian when Jiang Xiaobai's employee building will be built."

"Just this?" Zhou Andong shook his head with a smile: "I thought it was some big deal, seeing you guys acting all shy and not daring to speak."

Qian Zhen held back his laughter and looked at Chen Li: "Director Chen, tell the Chairman about your 'orphan theory'."

"'Orphan theory'?" Zhou Andong looked at Chen Li with great curiosity.

Chen Li's face turned red, and like a little girl, her expression became very shy.

"I was just talking nonsense."

"How is that talking nonsense?" Qian Zhen continued to twist the knife: "I thought it sounded pretty good."

Chen Li looked at Qian Zhen with increasingly resentful eyes; anyone who didn't know the situation would definitely misunderstand.

Zhou Andong did misunderstand, and he looked at Qian Zhen with deep meaning, a look that made Qian Zhen shiver.

This old man suddenly felt like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet, and he immediately changed the subject.

"Chairman, when will Jiang Xiaobai's employee building be built?"

Zhou Andong was very curious, but since Chen Li wouldn't say and Qian Zhen had changed the subject, there was nothing he could do.

"I came over just for this matter."
