Putting rocking cars in the community?

After this incident, the property owners finally believed what Manager Xu had said.

“My owners, I will spoil them!”

“No one can make my owners suffer!”

Manager Xu thought this way, and he acted this way!

And he succeeded!

After this, everyone realized that the Property Manager truly considered the feelings of the owners, so they started actively offering suggestions.

For example, issues with clutter in stairwells, or strangers entering the Residential Complex.

Of course, these were all long-standing, difficult problems.

And unlike before, some could be considered conflicts between owners, which the Property Manager couldn't unilaterally resolve.

So, Xu Ning needed to refer to the practices of other Property Managers and come up with win-win solutions.

At the morning meeting today, Xu Ning, Xu Jiafei, Captain Zhao of security, and several Property Managers began discussing several demands from the owners.

“Who has a good way to solve the problem of clutter piled in the stairwells?” Xu Ning asked first.

The few people looked at each other, their expressions hard to describe.

This truly was a long-standing, difficult problem.

Shoe racks by the door, a pair of shoes on the ground, various other items beside them, and the platforms between floors were even worse, with some people even collecting trash and piling it there.

Don't assume that just because people live in such a nice Residential Complex, no one collects trash; some Old ladies actually enjoy it, and their children can't persuade them otherwise.

If their children can't persuade them, what can the Property Manager do?

You know, all this clutter in the stairwells affects fire safety.

Don't think this impact is small.

Indeed, there's no impact when no fire occurs, but once a fire breaks out, it truly becomes a death warrant.

The Property Manager wanted to clean it up, but each time, it led to complaints from the owners who piled up clutter.

And owners who didn't pile up clutter were also very dissatisfied with this.

“How about we regularly invite the fire department for inspections?” Captain Zhao, seeing that no one was speaking, quietly raised his hand and suggested.

Fire inspections are certainly good, but the fire department is so busy that they can't come often, so this is very unrealistic.

Xu Ning shook his head and fell into deep thought.

He was gradually understanding human nature; in fact, many things people do are tied to their self-interest.

And if it's tied to self-interest, it can be entirely solved through self-interest!

“How about this: regarding the unauthorized installation of shoe racks and arbitrary placement of shoes in the stairwells, we will send out a survey to all owners.”

“Our Property Manager can install uniform-style shoe cabinets near each household's door in a place that doesn't obstruct passage.”

“This way, it's both aesthetically uniform and minimizes safety hazards!”

“If over 95% of owners agree, we will officially implement it!”

“Furthermore, regarding the issue of piling up clutter in the stairwells, this is what I'm thinking.”

“We will regularly inspect the clutter in the stairwells, and those who pass the inspection every time can get a 5% reduction in property fees!”

“Although it's not a huge amount, it's still several hundred yuan.”

“For those Old ladies who collect cardboard, this is definitely more profitable than collecting cardboard; I believe they can all figure out this calculation.”

“In this matter, the Property Manager absolutely aligns with the interests of the vast majority of owners.”

“As for the stubborn few, the Property Manager can only forcibly clear it, and they won't be able to make much of a fuss.”

Although doing this would lead to dissatisfaction from a small number of owners, relatively speaking, it would earn widespread praise from the vast majority of owners.

Moreover, for such self-serving owners, no matter how much you do, they may not genuinely appreciate you.

Xu Ning could still calculate this account clearly.

Hearing Xu Ning's idea, the few people all nodded.

Indeed, for now, this was the most appropriate way to handle it.

The only problem was that it would affect the Property Manager's income.

If over 90% of owners complied with the rules and received a 5% reduction in property fees, then the Property Manager would likely collect hundreds of thousands less in property fees.

Furthermore, installing a shoe cabinet for each household would also be a considerable investment.

Even if they weren't indoor furniture and didn't require exceptionally good materials, they wouldn't be dirt cheap.

Assuming 300 yuan per shoe cabinet, with over 1800 households in the entire Residential Complex, that's another 500,000 yuan!

A large sum had already been invested in the bus; if they kept investing like this, Haoding Property Management might become the first property management company to operate at a loss.

Other Property Managers make a fortune, yet you're actually losing money?

Wouldn't that make them a laughingstock in the industry, an absolute joke!

“Manager Xu, this is quite an investment!” a Property Manager said, plucking up his courage.

Xu Ning nodded calmly; this was indeed an investment.

But he wasn't afraid of spending money; what mattered was owner satisfaction.

Once owner satisfaction increased, everything else would be fine.

“Alright, let's proceed with this!” Xu Ning said with a firm attitude.

Who made him the boss? Even if the plan seemed unreasonable to others, it had to be carried out.

As soon as he left the office after the meeting, he heard the front desk calling someone.

“Manager Xu, someone is looking for you.”

Xu Ning looked at the front desk in surprise and saw someone standing there.

“Hello, you must be Manager Xu, right?”

“My surname is Zhang; just call me Old Zhang!”

Seeing Xu Ning walk over, the person enthusiastically approached to introduce himself.

Xu Ning was puzzled but still shook his hand, “Hello, hello.”

He had thought the other party was there for the several billboards in the park.

“It's like this, Manager Xu.”

“I'd like to cooperate with the Property Manager and place some children's coin-operated ride-on toys in the Residential Complex.”

“You know, the kind where you put in a one-yuan coin, and the ride-on toy plays children's songs and rocks.”

“Don't underestimate these things; the profit is quite substantial.”

“Each machine can bring in dozens of yuan every day.”

“I'll provide the machines, your Property Manager provides the space and electricity, and then we'll split the profits fifty-fifty.”

“What do you think, Manager Xu?”

The other party stated his intention with anticipation; he believed Xu Ning wouldn't refuse this offer.

Because this kind of income often became the Property Manager's private income.

At this moment, however, Xu Ning couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, feeling a bit suspicious.

“This Residential Complex has been here for four or five years; why are you only now thinking of placing them?”

This question seemed to remind the other party of something unpleasant, and his expression wasn't very good.

“It's all because of that guy named Bao, the owner of the convenience store at the west gate!”

“Originally, I had already placed them in the Residential Complex, and I was making good money every day.”

“He saw it and got jealous, so he also set up several machines outside his convenience store.”

“If it were fair competition, that would be one thing, but that guy secretly sabotaged them; the few ride-on toys I had in the Residential Complex needed repairs every few days!”

“It was too much trouble, so I simply withdrew them!”

“Now that his convenience store is out of business, I'm thinking of placing them again.”

“After all, it's not just about making money; if there are no ride-on toys, the children in the Residential Complex won't have anything to play with!”
