Chapter 417: The work unit raises funds to build a house (fifth update)
Fang Minghua no longer worries about Li Li.
The girl has already grown up and has her own ideas. No one can decide the path she wants to take for her.
But Song Tangtang was very concerned about this matter, and Fang Minghua was helpless.
Zhao Hongjun and Song Tangtang were specifically responsible for the affairs of Shengshi Company. He didn't ask too many questions. He still focused on the editorial department.
After going to work in the afternoon, Bai Miao knocked on the door and came in. During the time when Fang Minghua asked for leave, Bai Miao was temporarily responsible for the salary of the editorial department.
"Editor Fang, the circulation of our magazine last year was calculated, it was about 4.2 million, and the average monthly circulation was 350,000."
Fang Minghua smiled slightly after hearing this. .
Fortunately, the three-year distribution target was completed in one and a half years.
“How will readers react to the magazine’s price increase?” Fang Minghua was concerned about this issue.
In November last year, the magazine decided to increase the unit price of each magazine from the current 47 cents per magazine to 50 cents per magazine starting from January this year.
In recent years, prices have been rising year after year, and costs have also increased. Even if the price is increased to the current price, it can only be a small profit, and it all relies on magazine advertising to make money.
"Prices have risen so fiercely this year. Other magazines have the same price every year. Our current price can be considered a conscientious price. What is there to complain about?" Bai Miao said.
"That's okay."
"Editor Fang, I heard from Munchun that you are going to compile a collection of poems published in our "Yanhe" and translate them into English for publication. Published abroad?" Bai Miao suddenly asked.
Did the news spread so quickly?
"I have such a plan, what's wrong?" Fang Minghua asked.
"Didn't you ask me to edit the essence of "Yanhe"? After the editing is completed, I can also translate it into English and try to get it published abroad!" Bai Miao said.
It turns out that before going to Hainan, Fang Minghua arranged a job for Bai Miao: in addition to publishing the 1987 volume of "Yanhe", as the person in charge, he also had to take the lead in editing the 1980-1987 The essence of "Yanhe". The best novels published by Yanhe over the years will be selected and edited into essences for publication. At the same time, albums of avant-garde novels and excellent poetry will be published one after another.
In a word, it would be a pity not to just throw the published literary works aside, but to use different methods to attract new readers to achieve both social and economic benefits.
Fang Minghua did not expect that Bai Miao actually wanted to translate it into English and publish it abroad.
Of course it’s a good thing.
That’s right.
“Don’t say this in a hurry. Let’s wait until you finish editing.” Fang Minghua did not agree immediately.
“Don’t worry, I will take it out as soon as possible.”
After everything that needed to be said was said, Fang Minghua noticed that Bai Miao was sitting on the sofa with no intention of leaving, so he asked: "Bai Miao, do you have anything else?" House? How did you consider this matter? "
It turns out that since the "Yanhe" magazine built a three-story family building in 1981, it has been in a tight situation, so it has not A family building was built.
The unit's personnel are frequently transferred, and many new employees do not have houses. In the past, some old employees also lived in the upper floors of the tube, so the calls for the unit to build houses are getting louder and louder.
In the past two years, the magazine's economic performance has improved. Last year, it made a surplus of more than 400,000 yuan, plus the previous profit of about 600,000 yuan.
Several leaders of the unit gathered together and decided to buy a piece of land near Xingqing Road, raise funds to build a house in the name of the unit, and then hand it over to developers for construction.
This form is very common in this era. The Planning Commission family building where Fang Minghua’s parents live is now built in this form. It’s just that the proportion of public and employee contributions varies from unit to unit.
The leaders of the magazine have negotiated that the unit will contribute half and the employees will contribute half. The area of the suites will all be three bedrooms and one living room of 80 square meters. They will be queued according to their position and length of service, but the final result of the allocation of houses has not yet been released.
This is what Bai Miao asked.
"Say Bai Miao, what are you worried about? As the deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine, you are still worried about not having your share?" Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Hey, floors. Floors are very important!" Bai Miao said. You guy!
Fang Minghua glanced at him.
"Okay, let me tell you in advance that you seem to be on the fourth floor of the east unit."
Fourth floor? !
Bai Miao suddenly became happy.
As the saying goes, gold is worth three and silver is worth four. This house seems to be the next best thing!
Bai Miao left happily.
Fang Minghua shook his head and picked up the file.
Go home for lunch. Now Song Tangtang simply doesn’t come back at noon in order to avoid the children. Parents, sister Fang Mingli, and son Fang Le, the family gathered around the table to eat.
Lele can now eat pasta, grabbing the steamed buns in her hand and gnawing wildly. Fang Minghua doesn't care, as long as he doesn't choke.
Mom Zhang Fenglan feeds Lele steamed eggs with a small spoon. The little guy eats the steamed buns and eggs very deliciously.
"Xiaohua, is your company raising funds to build houses now?" Zhang Fenglan suddenly asked.
"Yes, didn't I tell you a long time ago? For a house with three bedrooms and one living room, the rent is half for the unit and half for the individual. The individual contribution is about 12,000." Fang Minghua answered while eating.
In the past two years, prices have risen sharply, and house prices have also begun to rise. Now the price per square meter has reached 300 yuan.
"Brother, when will your house be repaired?" My sister Fang Mingli interrupted.
"It is estimated that it will not be until the second half of this year at the earliest." Fang Minghua replied, then looked at her sister: "Do you want to live there?"
"Yes." Fang Mingli was shy. Next: "Jianjun and I are discussing getting married, but there is no house in our institute. The most we can do is give you a single dormitory for marriage, or we can rent a house by ourselves, so I want to use your house. Brother, that half We pay for the rent ourselves!”
“You? Your and Jianjun’s combined salary is less than 500, so you don’t want to eat or drink?” Fang Minghua asked. .
Fang Mingli was speechless.
The unit efficiency is not good.
However, these days, the efficiency of various scientific research institutes and military factories is generally poor. What if Factory 786, which is a military factory, had no choice but to switch to producing Yellow River color TVs a few years ago?
But their institute does not have such conditions. Several key members of the institute have already left, and they have all gone to the south.
Seeing his sister like this, Fang Minghua smiled and said, "Okay, just live in peace and don't think about anything else."
"Thank you, brother, you are so kind!" Fang Mingli smiled happily.
"I only have a sister like you. If I don't do good to you, who will be good to you?" Fang Minghua said, "I'll pay for your dowry! I'll buy you all the color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines!"
"That's okay. No!" Mom intervened: "We have all bought it, what does the man have to pay for? He doesn't have a house, so he picked up a girl from us for nothing!"
"Mom, you also know that Jianjun's family is in a rural area. Not very good! I don’t want a color TV, refrigerator, or washing machine, as long as I have a house to live in." Fang Mingli argued.
"How about that? How can I wrong you? Look at the young people in the city getting married now. If they don't buy the four big things, who will get married?!" My mother said plausibly.
Fang Minghua was shocked after hearing this.
I bought it for my sister, but my mother refused to let me buy it and asked the man to buy it.
The man’s family is in financial difficulty. The girl is very understanding and doesn’t want these big things, but my mother doesn’t agree.
Hey.
Forget it, don’t mix in, let the ladies The two communicate.
