Ning Weimin and Kang Shude were chatting in Shilin, but no one heard them except them.
Although Ning Weimin did learn a lot from the old man's words, it was a great gain for him personally.
This even gave rise to higher business goals and a new business plan.
But I still have to say that this is a very regrettable thing.
Because their conversations involve these catering companies, the relevant persons in charge can also hear their remarks about catering operations and their opinions on Chinese and Western food.
I am afraid that at this particularly critical time, many business issues can be suddenly understood and many business mistakes that should not have occurred can be avoided.
Then maybe some unsatisfactory situations will be completely changed, and many helpless regrets may be avoided.
But unfortunately, this has never happened.
So history is still running on rugged curves according to its original trajectory...
"Jingle Bell……"
Goubuli's main store, the phone in the manager's office rang again.
He Dong, who was the person in charge of Goubuli in Jinmen at the time, raised his head.
However, sitting at his desk, he frowned while looking at the phone and didn't want to answer it at all.
Because he can basically guess who made the call and why.
He didn't want to agree to this person's request at all, so he might as well not accept it.
But the problem is that the phone is so patient and keeps ringing.
The noise made him upset, and he finally had to pick up the phone.
"Hello, is this Manager He?"
The person on the microphone spoke in an official accent. "I'm Zhao Changrong, what's going on with you? I've been waiting for you all morning. Why didn't you come? You changed your mind about everything you agreed to do. Do you still have organizational ideas? Also
Don’t you take me as your superior seriously?”
"Oh, Director Zhao, please don't get me wrong. I encountered an unexpected situation. Today, our store is very busy. My steamed bun conveyor belt is broken again. I have to deal with these urgent issues.
.When I get busy, I will..."
"Don't try to find objectivity for me. What you are talking about is all nonsense. Do you think you can get away with it? Ah, I promoted you to manage this store, is it because I asked you to give me a ring?"
"No, I really don't mean that. I know that when you promoted me, you just asked me to do a good job in this store. I have not betrayed your trust. Our store has completed all the indicators, and it is also good.
All were overfulfilled. What was due to the bureau was also paid. Compared with the same period last year, our turnover in January increased by 62%, and the average employee excess share income increased by 52%. We
The newly added box packaging and flexible packaging in the store are very popular for customer convenience. The daily turnover has exceeded 10,000. The situation is not a small good but a great one. We are also planning to develop and open branches in other places. The report has been submitted early.
Waiting for your approval..."
"Okay, okay, don't show off your merits to me. You have done a good job, so you shouldn't raise your tail. Let me ask you, do you not understand the spirit of your superiors' instructions? Can you still do a good job in the future?"
"Oh, my good leader. Just don't force me. You are right. I should pay attention to the spirit of the superiors' instructions. But I can't be divorced from reality. Let me tell you, you can increase everything at will.
The price, but our buns are really not suitable for price increase. Because it is a civilian product, it must be affordable for the common people. Think about our old mayor, he created so many time-honored brands together.
This store is obviously led by "Sansheng" and is the main technical body. Why is it called "Goubuli" in the end? Isn't it because the name is down-to-earth and close to the common people? You said such a price increase?
How can we still get close to each other? Who will eat it if it’s too expensive?”
"I said, why are you so stubborn? One moment after another. In the past, Goubuli was only known to us locals. Now, it is famous throughout the country. Even Sihanouk and Ho Chi Minh have eaten your steamed buns. That's
If the steamed buns served on the state banquet table are still the same as ordinary steamed buns? Of course they have to be different. I didn’t ask you to raise the buns more. Can you raise the buns by five cents for every two buns? I don’t believe it. You raise the buns by five cents.
If you pay a cent, no one will eat it. So many foreign tourists come to our Tianjin every day, are they willing to go in vain just because it costs only five cents? As the saying goes, the emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married..."
"You can't say that. Foreign tourists will definitely buy it, but what do our local folks think? There are pros and cons to fame. I'm afraid that people will poke my spine. Besides, haven't we already made profits?
Is there a contract responsibility system for operating operations with lump sums, excess shares, and responsibility for profits and losses? To raise prices or not to raise prices? Can our superiors stop interfering in this kind of business direction issue?"
"You fart! What's wrong with the high prices of brand-name products? Why are they poking your spine? Who is interfering? Look, you are so crazy! Let me tell you! Even if you are contracted, you will always have to accept the leadership of your superiors.
, accept the command from your superiors! Otherwise, it’s unclear whether you can continue to work. Don’t forget, this contracting system still has the word ‘trial’. I won’t bullshit you anymore, aren’t you too arrogant? I’ll invite you.
You can’t move, right? Well, I’ll call you now and don’t think about your store’s foreign investment, as your superiors won’t approve it.”
"Hey, no, director, don't be angry. I really don't want to go against you. Let's discuss the matter and reason with each other. If nothing else, you have to give me real power when you use me. Otherwise, you will be beating me.
How can I order others with my face?"
"Don't be ungrateful. Everything now depends on economic benefits. Didn't you hear that sentence? Look down at the money, look up and look forward. Only by looking at the money can you look forward. If others want to increase prices, the Price Bureau will still
I don’t agree. As a result, your superiors gave you the green light. This kind of great good thing that you dream of has become a embarrassment to you? Let’s be honest, this is because you are embarrassing me, okay? Let me remind you that you are like this
An uncooperative attitude. Not only are the bosses unhappy, but the people below you are also complaining. You should listen to what the masses say about you. How to command others? First of all, you can't go against the big guys. I'll give you one last day.
Come to me tomorrow after thinking about it..."
The phone was hung up.
He Dong sat in his seat in a daze for a while, then stood up with a sigh.
Then he pretended to be calm and walked out of the office to inspect the work.
When Clinker walked around to go to the toilet, he heard complaints from the employees inside.
"...I really don't know what you're thinking? You can make a lot of money, but you're still not happy about it. There are still such stupid Ben'er Ben'er in the world. Why aren't the prices of things going up now? There's something wrong with you..."
"Pull him down. He is not stupid, but too smart. Think about it carefully. In the first period of time, contract contracts were canceled everywhere. Why? Because there are too many rewards to be distributed to the contractor according to the contract.
The superiors dare not implement it. I think Manager He is also afraid that this kind of thing will happen again and that his own reward will be yellowed, so he deliberately suppresses it..."
"Well, according to what you say, this Manager He is really scheming. He is bringing trouble to us just for his own sake. If the price of buns increases, it will be all net profit, and our bonus will increase immediately.
A big chunk."
"Hey, that's right. We still have foreign investment. Why open a branch in other places? Just so that we don't have to pay for it. Let me tell you, we have to respond well to the boss, and we can't let this Dana He change our store.
Cheng Yiyantang. Why do you work so hard every day? Isn’t it just to earn more bonuses? Why should he stop me? What a toy he is!"
He Dong, with stars in his eyes, leaned against the wall.
He wakes up early and stays up late every day for work, sleeping at most five hours. At this time, his body is as soft as noodles.
He didn't expect that Director Zhao would really say it, and the employees below him really didn't understand him at all, and even had a huge misunderstanding.
For this reason, for the first time, he doubted the need to persist.
Could it be that... I... was really wrong?
At the same time, Director Zhao Changrong Zhao who had just ended the call with He Dong.
In his office, he discussed the business direction of Shilin with Cheng Baozhong, the future successor of Shilin.
"Hey, Baozhong, you are an old man from Shilin, and you are also an excellent chef. You know all aspects of the store best. Your superiors intend to promote you this time and plan to let you take over the old manager's job.
Son. I just want you to have a good technical level and have prestige among the employees. But how to change the current depressed situation in Shilin, you have to come up with a practical method."
Cheng Baozhong looked excited and grateful. He really regarded Director Zhao as his noble person and tried his best to show it.
"Director Zhao, I would like to thank my superiors for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. Then I will talk about my thoughts. I think that the responsibility for our current operating difficulties in Shilin does not actually lie with us. Why? Because our
There’s nothing wrong with the taste of the food, it’s absolutely authentic, just like in the past.”
"But why no one comes? Mainly because of two points. First, in our area, wages are too low. We are not as good as the capital, nor as good as Shanghai. There are many foreigners, and there are also many rich people. We have opened several
Western restaurants are not worried about customers. We locals can only afford pancakes, fruits and gaba dishes. At most, we can buy some Goubuli and come for noodles. There are very few restaurants. When it comes to reputation, Qi Shilin is the place where everyone has it.
You know, how many people can afford such high-end authentic Western food? Everyone can just buy some bread, coffee and sugar."
"The second point is that the foreign-invested Orchid Flower Fast Food is so unscrupulous and has taken away a lot of our original customers. It turns out that before they opened, Qi Shilin's business conditions were pretty good. After all, we are here in Tianjin.
This is a Western restaurant. But since they opened, our business has plummeted."
"I've been to their place, and the set meal with tomato sauce and prawns costs three yuan and five cents. It also includes a bowl of Russian borscht, a plate of kimchi, and three ounces of rice with seven or eight prawns in sauce.
, about 12 centimeters long, it is indeed not expensive and quite affordable. This is the price for a dish in Shilin."
"They also have French pork chops, German burgers, Italian meatballs, and American hot dogs, all of which are set meals. They also come with egg soup and hot and sour soup. Is this a fake?
Western food. Western food is cooked in Chinese and deep-fried. You always tell me, can borscht be eaten with just rice? What the heck! Young people just don’t know how to cook it. To put it bluntly, they are
They are passing off inferior products as good ones, defrauding customers and disrupting the market..."
Director Zhao couldn't listen anymore and couldn't help but wave his hand.
"Okay, you've already mentioned the difficulties. Just tell me what you plan to do in response to this situation. But I have to declare first that Orchid Orchid is a foreign investment project designated by the city. There's nothing I can do about it. You can't
I want to label people randomly and hope for unrealistic good things."
Cheng Baozhong was struck by what he said, and he couldn't help but gulped and laughed dryly.
"Director Zhao, I also know your difficulty. If you want to put it this way, there are only two ways. First, we can't just focus on local customers, we must try our best to win the patronage of people who are on business trips from other places.
What do I mean? Qi Shilin is famous. Who doesn’t want to try such authentic Western food? So our superiors must not favor one thing over another and only promote Goubuli. We, Qi Shilin, are also representatives of Tianjin catering. We need
See it in newspapers and even on TV."
"Secondly, in order to win over young customers, I also want to buy something elegant and fashionable. I heard from a few friends that there is a music cafe in the south, which is especially popular with young people. So I also plan to invite
Some actors from our song and dance troupe sing in the restaurant on the second floor of Chishilin. They sing some popular Hong Kong and Taiwan songs. You need to buy a separate ticket for this, which is five yuan a piece. I think that doing this will not only attract more guests
You can earn more money by eating Western food."
Director Zhao pondered and nodded slightly.
"Baozhong, I didn't expect you to have some ideas. These two ideas of yours sound interesting. As for the first condition, I can agree to it now. I should do more publicity for you. That's not true at all.
The problem is, this is a music cafe. I have to apply for it on your behalf, hold a meeting to discuss it, and listen to the instructions from my superiors. After all, dance halls were banned just a few years ago, and I'm afraid of violating the policy. Oh, that's right.
, don’t you have any other plans? For example, do you want to adjust the price downward? Since customers can’t afford it, would it be better to lower the price?”
"Huh? Price reduction?" Cheng Baozhong looked incredulously, then shook his head like a rattle.
"Director Zhao, why should we lower the price? We have never lowered the price! Qi Shilin is an authentic Western food! It is the only one in the country, there is no other semicolon! As the saying goes, the emperor's daughter does not have to worry about getting married. How about lowering the price?
It’s such a loss of status! Don’t worry, as long as my superior agrees to these two conditions, I guarantee that after I take over the contract, I can get Qishin Lin out of business difficulties and return to full capacity!”
Director Zhao looked at the confident Cheng Baozhong and couldn't help but feel more confident and nodded approvingly.
"Okay, this is how young people should be, and reform requires this. Well, dare to think, dare to do, and be ambitious. Baozhong, do your best in the future. I am very optimistic about you."
