Faced with Lin Feng's belated suggestion, Qu Qiongying rolled her eyes at him before saying:
"I'd prepared for this long ago and had already contacted the top leaders of more than a dozen nearby towns, including those across the border in Guang Province.
They were also very supportive of our recruitment plans and said they would arrange for officials to notify the villagers.
However, I think we should start taking the construction of the company headquarters and dormitory buildings seriously.
Although we can currently find a place on Xiaohe Town's main street to serve as an office building and rent houses in town as dormitories,
as the company develops rapidly, this ultimately won't look presentable, nor will it help us attract talent by providing superior working and living conditions."
"Is that so?"
Lin Feng rested a hand on his chin and fell into thought before making a decision.
"Since we're building, let's solve the problem in one go so we won't have to build again later. Set the construction budget at one billion yuan.
Our company headquarters doesn't need to be very tall, but it must cover a large area. Land in our rural townships is cheap anyway.
Of course, one billion yuan probably won't be enough to build a headquarters with a huge footprint, but it will be enough to finish the exterior and gradually renovate the interior according to our needs.
As for the dormitory buildings, they need to be comfortable. We can't shortchange our outstanding workers and management staff."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Qu Qiongying instinctively frowned. The company had not even officially risen to prominence, yet it was already launching large-scale construction projects. That was hardly a good sign.
But then she remembered that the company would be collecting tens of millions in patent licensing fees
