If you can't collect the property management fees, then don't bother doing it.

  Fang Fei was just a young nurse who had just started working, with a salary of only a few thousand yuan. Although her father was the hospital director, they were not a wealthy family that spent money lavishly. Five hundred thousand was definitely a large sum for her.

  If it were an ordinary person, raising a huge sum of money would be a big worry, but Liu Ziguang seemed to be in no hurry at all, waving his hand and saying: "Never mind, I have my own way, by the way, what brings you here?"

  Fang Fei pouted: "Can't I come find you just for fun?"

  Liu Ziguang realized he had misspoken and quickly changed his words: "I can, what do you want to play? I'll take you there."

  Fang Fei smiled again and picked up a bag of oranges in her hand, saying: "Actually, there's nothing much. I just happened to pass by the orange seller on my way home from work, so I bought some to give to Uncle and Auntie to try. It's not that I came looking for you, this bad person."

  Put down the tangerine and Fang Xi patted her clothes: "Okay, I should go now. There are guests coming home today, so I need to head back early."

  Liu Ziguang also stood up and said: "Then I'll see you off."

  The mobile phone suddenly rang, and after answering it, it was a call from the company, saying that the leader of the headquarters came to inspect, and asked Director Liu to hurry back.

  "Go back to your fur, I have something on." Liu Ziguang hung up the phone.

  Fang Fei's expression turned stern as she said: "This won't do, you're a leader after all. I'm going back, don't bother seeing me off, hurry back to the company."

  Liu Ziguang had no choice but to push his bicycle out and send Fang Fei to the entrance of the alley, while he rode his bike straight to the company.

  When he arrived at the company, the meeting had already begun. Liu Ziguang walked into the conference room and casually sat down in a chair against the wall, propping up his legs. At the oval-shaped round table, General Manager Gao glanced at Liu Ziguang, then whispered something to the bald-headed man beside him. The bald-headed man also gave Liu Ziguang a meaningful look.

  This meeting was of a high specification, with the general manager of Zhicheng Property Company attending along with the heads of various departments and several middle-level leaders from the group. The theme of the meeting was how to increase collection efforts and make a beautiful comeback.

  Zhisheen Group is very large, with major subsidiaries in development, engineering, advertising, and property management. From land acquisition to construction to sales and then to property management, the group provides a full range of services for the entire real estate industry. At this time when the real estate market is booming, the group's performance is rising day by day, but only the property management sector is not satisfactory.

  Zhicheng Group's Garden Series, Zhicheng Garden Phase I where Liu Ziguang is located is the earliest and largest project, with over 100 buildings of various sizes, tens of thousands of owners, it's like a small town. The supporting facilities in the community are not bad, the greening is also good, but the property management fees can't be collected.

  There are many reasons why property fees cannot be collected, mainly due to poor management. Many apartments in the compound have been converted into dormitories, with three rooms becoming collective accommodations. The living environment is chaotic, with frequent changes of residents, including some low-quality individuals who litter and engage in fights and loud music at midnight. Despite repeated visits from the police station, these issues persist. Most residents are dissatisfied with this situation and refuse to pay property fees as a result.

  There is also a worrying security situation, although the community has dozens of security guards, but under the management of Bai Team Leader, they are slack and soft, floating on the surface, timid and afraid to do things. If managed strictly, homeowners make trouble, if not managed, homeowners complain again. There have been several disputes between homeowners and security guards in the past, except for the last two times, most of which ended with the security guards losing. Scenes of thugs chasing and beating community security guards are not uncommon. Thieves and burglars sneak into the community, steal vehicles, and break into homes to steal things that happen from time to time. With this level of security, it is understandable that homeowners do not want to pay property fees.

  These are the two main ones, and some special cases, such as particularly arrogant landlords who have no normal reason to refuse payment, or long-term vacant houses that cannot be found.

  The property management fee for Zhicheng Phase I is 2 yuan per square meter. For a house with an area of 120 square meters, the monthly fee would be 240 yuan. With 100 buildings, mostly mid-to-large-sized units, and 8,000 households, the average monthly fee per household would be around 200 yuan. This translates to 1.6 million yuan per month, or 19 million yuan per year. Such a large cash flow is crucial even for the Zhicheng Group.

  However, due to poor management, the property fees can only collect about sixty percent, barely enough to maintain the company's operation, far from reaching a profitable level. For a long time, the group has been resentful about this matter, and this meeting is to issue an ultimatum.

  Before the end of the year, if the property management fee collection rate is not raised to more than 80%, everyone will be waiting for layoffs.

  The deputy general manager means this, giving the last chance, if not, then all will be replaced, no one will be left. Of course, people like Gao do not need to worry, they have someone backing them up and can be transferred to other branches at any time without changing their position, still enjoying good food and drink. However, it's different for other employees, especially those temporary workers such as security guards, cleaners, gardeners, electricians, who only have the option of being laid off.

  "If the tax collection rate is less than 80%, then sorry, including you, General Manager, everyone go home." The deputy general manager frowned, waved his hand decisively and forcefully, General Manager nodded solemnly in agreement. The employees attending the meeting were silent and began to think about their own interests, the first branch company was on the verge of collapse, this time it's likely that their rice bowls would be smashed.

  "That's done with the task, how will the group express it." Suddenly a lazy voice came from below, everyone turned their heads to look, and it was Liu Ziguang who had arrived late.

  "If we reach 80%, all of you can stay and continue to develop in the Zhicheng Group." The deputy general manager stared at Liu Ziguang, very dissatisfied with this young man.

  "What if we exceed our targets?" Liu Ziguang asked leisurely, placing his hands behind his head.

  The deputy general manager tilted his head to one side, listened to the personnel department's colleagues say this silly greenhorn's information, and coldly said: "If it reaches 90%, I will propose to the old general manager to give you a collective raise. If it reaches 95% or more, I'll come here again and kowtow to you in public!"

  "Alright, I have no problem with it." Liu Ziguo nodded and stopped talking.

  Then the colleagues from the group's human resources department and finance department spoke, roughly the same as what the deputy general manager said. The group has locked down the files of the first phase branch company colleagues, if they can't complete their tasks, they will all be terminated, this is a formal decision made by the board of directors of the group, it's not a joke.

  The meeting ended, and Gao Zong and Bai Dui Zhang sent the leaders out. The rest of them surrounded Liu Ziguo, asking him what to do in a flurry of questions.

  The property company, in addition to the security department, also has a customer service department, engineering department, cleaning department and greening department, as well as a comprehensive financial room and other logistics institutions. There are many middle-level cadres, big and small, but now they have all lost their minds and regard Liu Ziguang as a lifesaver.

  Gao Zong is a complete waste, only knowing how to give gifts to his superiors, with work abilities that are completely muddled. At the moment of life and death, even those people he promoted couldn't care less about him, they all gathered around Security Department Director Liu's side. Who doesn't know that this Director Liu has a wide network of connections, knowing both good and bad people? A while ago, he single-handedly chased after over a dozen people with a large cleaver, chopping them at the entrance of the residential area, leaving a pool of blood everywhere for all to see. Later on, he even received an award for being a good citizen, and the TV station came to our company to interview him. Moreover, just now, he publicly boasted about his abilities, if someone like this isn't the backbone of the organization, then who is?

  Liu Ziguang was also infuriated by the 500,000 yuan debt. He spoke harshly in public, but he wasn't really helpless. Looking at the expectant eyes around him, he said: "If you want to keep your rice bowl, everyone must listen to my command and do what I say."

  "Director Liu, as long as we can complete the task, whatever you say goes!"

  "Liu Ge, go ahead and speak, we're listening!"

  Liu Ziguang nodded: "Alright, let's act together."

  ……

  Actually, since Liu Ziguang became the Minister of Public Security, the security situation in the community has improved greatly. First, the situation where property owners bully security guards no longer exists. The fat guy from Building 16 who opened a fake BMW store was beaten and hospitalized after beating up a security guard and still hasn't been released. And that day at the entrance of the community, the security guards chased away more than a dozen gangsters with knives, it's all over the community now. With such fierce security guards, who dares to cause trouble?

  Liu Ziguang also made a statement on the way, whoever dares to fight and cause trouble in Zhicheng Garden, if you don't give your brother face, then don't blame your brother for not giving him face either. One by one, all of them will be dealt with, this word spread out, who would still dare to come and cause trouble, the security guards are fierce, it's not worth it.

  With a leader like Liu Ziguang, the security guards' morale has improved compared to before. They are very serious about their work attitude, and they don't allow vagrants or scavengers into the community. The registration of vehicles entering and leaving is very strict, and the night patrols are meticulous. As a result, theft cases have disappeared, which is also appreciated by the residents of the community.

  However, it's still not enough. To efficiently collect property fees, they also need to take drastic measures to deal with group renters and nail households that owe rent. For the sake of everyone's livelihood and to live up to their parents' expectations, Liu Ziguang is also going all out.

  There are many group renters in the neighborhood, and the property company has also conducted surveys and statistics. They basically have a grasp of the situation, but they can't control it. The key to group renting lies with the homeowners themselves. These people buy houses just to divide them up for rent and make money. Usually, this kind of person is only interested in collecting rent and doesn't care about anything else. They hide elsewhere and only appear when something happens, and are very good at making excuses and causing trouble.

  However, they met Liu Ziguang, who first called the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, Song Jianfeng, saying that he wanted to rectify the phenomenon of small rental groups in the district and hoped that the police would give strong support.

  If an ordinary person had said such a thing, Song Jianfeng would not have paid any attention to it, but Liu Ziguang was different. Without Liu Ziguang's heroic feat of killing the bandits, his position as deputy director would not be so secure. Now there are already hints from above that after Old Ma retires, he will be promoted to a full position.

  Liu Ziguang made a phone call, and Song Jianfeng immediately approved it, strongly supporting it. The phenomenon of group renting is also one of the issues that the police are concerned about, which is related to the overall social security situation and is very important. Since the property management side has decided to take tough measures to rectify the situation, the police will naturally cooperate fully.

  Song Jianfeng made a phone call to the local police station, asking them to send someone to follow the property management of the community and clean up the shared rental households. This way, Liu Ziguang's cleaning action had an official background and was justified.

  Putting down the phone, Song Jianfeng thought for a moment and felt that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of this chance to promote the entire Jiangbei City's rectification of group rentals, eliminate hidden dangers in social order, and definitely get a good social response, which would be very beneficial to his official career.

  He picked up the phone book and started looking for the numbers of the leaders of the Administration for Industry and Commerce, Taxation Bureau and Urban Management Bureau.
