Chapter 417 Units Raise Funds to Build Houses (Fifth Update)

Fang Minghua no longer worried about Li Li's affairs.

The girl had already grown up and had her own ideas. No one could decide for her what path she wanted to take.

But Song Tangtang was very concerned about this matter, and Fang Minghua could do nothing about it.

Zhao Hongjun and Song Tangtang were in charge of the affairs of Shengshi Company. He did not ask much, and his mind was still on the editorial department.

After work in the afternoon, Bai Miao knocked on the door and came in. During the time when Fang Minghua was on leave, Bai Miao was temporarily responsible for the salary of the editorial department.

"Editor-in-Chief Fang, the circulation of our magazine last year has been counted. It is about 4.2 million copies, and the average monthly circulation is 350,000 copies."

Fang Minghua also smiled slightly after hearing this.

Fortunately, the three-year circulation target was completed in one and a half years.

"What is the reader's reaction to the price increase of the magazine?" 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 copy to 59 cents per copy starting from January this year.

In recent years, prices have been rising year by year, and costs have also increased. Even if the price is raised to the current level, it can only be a small profit, and the magazine relies entirely on advertising to make money.

"This year, prices have risen so fiercely. Other magazines have changed their prices every year. Our current price is also a conscientious price. What is there to complain about?" Bai Miao said.

"That's fine."

"Editor-in-Chief Fang, I heard from Muchun that you are going to make a collection of poems published in our "Yanhe" and translate them into English for publication abroad?" Bai Miao suddenly asked.

The news spread so quickly?

"I have such a plan, what's wrong?" Fang Minghua asked back.

"Didn't you ask me to be responsible for editing the essence of "Yanhe"? After editing, it can also be translated into English and strive to get it published abroad!" Bai Miao said.

It turned out that Fang Minghua arranged a job for Bai Miao before going to Hainan: in addition to issuing the 1987 bound volume of "Yanhe", he, as the person in charge, also took the lead in editing the essence of "Yanhe" from 1980 to 1987. The best novels published by Yanhe over the years are selected and edited into essence editions for external publication. Meanwhile, albums of pioneer novels and excellent poetry are published one after another.

In a word, the published literary works cannot be thrown aside. It is a pity to use different methods to attract new readers and achieve both social and economic benefits.

Fang Minghua did not expect Bai Miao to translate into English and publish abroad.

Of course it is a good thing.

But...

"Don't rush to say this, wait until you have selected it." Fang Minghua did not agree immediately.

"Don't worry, I will get it out as soon as possible."

After saying everything that should be said, Fang Minghua found that Bai Miao was sitting on the sofa and had no intention of leaving, so he asked: "Bai Miao, is there anything else?"

"Hehe. Editor Fang, isn't the unit going to raise funds to build a house? What do you think about this?"

It turned out that since Yanhe Magazine built a three-story family building in 1981, it has never built a family building again because the funds have been in a tight state.

The unit has frequent personnel transfers, and many new employees have no houses. In the past, some old employees also lived in tube buildings, so the call for the unit to build houses is getting louder and louder.

In the past two years, the economic benefits of the magazine have improved. Last year, it actually made a surplus of more than 400,000 yuan, plus about 600,000 yuan in the past.

Several leaders of the unit discussed and decided to buy a piece of land near Xingqing Road, raise funds in the name of the unit to build houses, and then hand it over to the developer for construction.

This form is very common in this era. Now the Planning Commission family building where Fang Minghua's parents live is built in this way, but the proportion of government and employees is different in each unit.

The leaders of the magazine discussed that the unit would pay half and the employees would pay half. The area of ​​the suite is 80 square meters for three bedrooms and one living room. The queue is based on the position and length of service, but the final result of the allocation of houses has not yet come out.

This is what Bai Miao asked.

"I say, Bai Miao, what are you worried about? As the deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine, are you still worried that you will not get a share?" Fang Minghua laughed.

"Hehe, the floor. The floor is very important!" Bai Miao said.

You guy!

Fang Minghua glanced at him.

"Okay, then I'll tell you in advance that you seem to be on the fourth floor of the east unit."

The fourth floor? !

Bai Miao was immediately delighted.

As the saying goes, the third month of the year is the best, and the fourth month of the year is the best. This house seems to be the second best!

Bai Miao left happily.

Fang Minghua shook his head and picked up the documents.

Go home for lunch at noon. Now Song Tangtang simply doesn't come back at noon to avoid the children. Parents, sister Fang Mingli, and son Fang Le, the family eat around the table.

Lele can eat pasta now, grabbing the steamed bun in his hand and chewing it wildly. Fang Minghua doesn't care, as long as he doesn't choke.

Mom Zhang Fenglan used a small spoon to feed Lele steamed eggs. The little guy ate it deliciously with a mouthful of steamed bun and a mouthful of egg.

"Xiaohua, is your unit raising funds to build a house now?" Zhang Fenglan asked suddenly.

"Yes, didn't I tell you a long time ago that for a three-bedroom and one-living room house, the rent is half for the unit and half for each person, and each person pays about 12,000 yuan." Fang Minghua answered while eating.

In the past two years, the price of goods has risen sharply, and the housing price has also started to rise. Now the price per square meter has reached 300 yuan.

"Brother, when will your house be repaired?" Sister Fang Mingli interrupted.

"It will probably be the second half of this year at the earliest." Fang Minghua answered, and then looked at his sister: "Do you want to live there?"

"Yeah." Fang Mingli said shyly: "Jianjun and I are planning to get married, but we don't have any house in our institute. The most we can do is to give you a single dormitory after we get married, or you can rent a house by yourself, so I want to use your house. Brother, we will pay for the other half of the rent!"

"You? The salary of you and Jianjun is less than 500 yuan. Are you not eating or drinking?" Fang Minghua asked back. .

Fang Mingli was speechless.

The unit's performance is not good.

However, these days, the performance of various scientific research institutes and military factories is generally poor. Otherwise, the 786 factory, which is a military factory, had to switch to the production of Yellow River color TVs a few years ago?

But their institute does not have this condition. Several backbones have left the institute and all went 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 nice!" Fang Mingli smiled happily.

"I only have you as my sister, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" Fang Minghua said, "I will buy your dowry! I will buy you a color TV, refrigerator, washing machine, etc."

"That won't do!" Mom interrupted, "We have already bought it, what will the man pay for? He doesn't even have a house, so he picked us up for nothing?!"

"Mom, you know, Jianjun's family is in the countryside, and the conditions are not very good! I don't want a color TV, refrigerator, or washing machine, I just want a house to live in." Fang Mingli argued.

"How can that be? How can I let you down? Look at the young people in the city getting married now, who would get married without buying the four major items?!" Mom argued.

Fang Minghua was overwhelmed by what she heard.

I bought it for my sister, but Mom wouldn't let me, and asked the man to buy it.

The man's family is in financial difficulty, and the girl is very considerate of not wanting these big items, but Mom doesn't agree.

Oh.

Forget it, don't get involved, let the two women communicate.
