January 29, 1968, the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, is the traditional Chinese festival Spring Festival and New Year's Eve.
As all walks of life continue to take holidays, the sales of two stores in Central and Causeway Bay have hit new highs this week.
"Titanic" that Zhang Zhonghua placed in the store has also become popular all over Hong Kong Island. Many guests who came to cfc for dinner were deeply attracted by this book and couldn't get a copy. They could only participate in the activities according to Zhang Zhonghua's rules.
lottery.
Of course, there are also rich bosses who directly invite everyone in the company to dinner and scrape together enough consumption quota to get a copy.
Many publishing companies also approached Zhang Zhonghua, hoping to get authorization to publish this book, but they were all rejected by Zhang Zhonghua.
Not to mention the pitiful manuscript fee, there are only three million people in Hong Kong Island who have one copy, and the manuscript fee is only a few hundred thousand.
Furthermore, someone has already won CFC through lottery, and some people even spent a lot of money to get it. If Zhang Zhonghua publishes it again, his reputation will be ruined.
Zhang Zhonghua's performance disappointed many people who wanted to buy this book, and also made many people more interested in the book. They came to CFC to eat hamburgers just to read a book.
In the morning, Zhang Zhonghua arrived at the office area on the second floor of the Central store early because CFC would close at 4 p.m. and he had to make arrangements for the Spring Festival.
"Boss, do we really have to close for the day on the first day of the new year?"
"Of course, this has been decided a long time ago! Is there any problem?"
Zhang Zhonghua looked at Zheng Juan in surprise.
"Boss, I don't think we need to stop business at all. It's no problem to open during the Spring Festival. In previous years, all the shops here in Central will be open normally on the first day of the new year. There is no need for our CFC to close."
Zheng Juan advised Zhang Zhonghua with a bit of sincerity. You must know that there are two stores in Central and Causeway Bay. In the past, the daily profit was more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. On this day of the Spring Festival, there must be a profit of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. 30,000 dollars were lost in vain.
Block profits are a shame.
"Hey, Manager Zheng, let the employees celebrate the New Year with their families and have a reunion dinner. You can earn money at any time, but the New Year only comes once a year. It doesn't matter if you take a day off.
From the second day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, please change the two shifts to three shifts. We now have enough manpower, and you can also take a proper rest during this period."
Zhang Zhonghua shook his head and said to Zheng Juan.
Nowadays, the staff of the three stores plus the staff of the Microcity store are more than 200 people. The restaurant of Hong Kong Island University has also been suspended, and the staff has been strengthened to the other two stores. It can be said that it is very wealthy.
Hong Kong Island has a three-day holiday for the Spring Festival holiday, but in the Everbright service industry, the more people take the holiday, the busier they are, and the busier they are, the more leisure they have.
Many people rely on the three-day Spring Festival holiday to make a lot of money, but they should not be too cold-blooded. Money can be earned at any time, but reputation cannot be earned at any time, and the most important thing about CFC is humanistic care.
"Boss, my classmate can come to work in the second year of junior high school. She is from the Chinese University like me. How will her treatment be determined after she comes?"
Zheng Juan had no choice but to stop persuading Zhang Zhonghua. She understood that Zhang Zhonghua was thinking about CFC Everbright employees, but as a professional manager, she still had to persuade her, so she mentioned the second thing.
matter.
"Well, if she comes to be your assistant, she will be paid according to the store manager's salary first, and then we will establish a complete salary system after the CFC restaurant is on the right track. Regarding the salary system, we are still too rough now, you wait for your
classmate……"
"Shirley Hu!"
"Yes, Hu Shirley. After Hu Shirley arrives, you two will study the salary system of our CFC. It will be greatly expanded next year. The salary system cannot be so confusing anymore."
"Okay, boss! Do you have any salary requirements?"
Zheng Juan recorded the things arranged by Zhang Zhonghua on her notepad, and then asked Zhang Zhonghua about the requirements for the salary system. This was to ask Zhang Zhonghua to set a standard. Then she started planning based on this standard.
"As for our salary system, I have only one requirement: basic salary plus bonuses and commissions. We must be at the highest level in the service industry in Hong Kong, on par with big hotels, so that people will be proud to come to work at CFC
.”
Zhang Zhonghua expressed his thoughts without hesitation.
Zheng Juan couldn't help but rolled her eyes. It was indeed the case. However, she did not raise any objections. Compared with the profit of each lesson of cfc, this employee salary is a drop in the bucket.
And wouldn’t her salary be higher in this way? Asking to lower her salary?
I am Zheng Juan.
Workaholic.
but.
I am Zheng Juan.
Not stupid.
"By the way, boss, don't forget to prepare the lucky money for the Chinese New Year. The amount here on Hong Kong Island usually doesn't exceed 1 Hong Kong dollar per person, so don't make it too much."
Zheng Juan reminded Zhang Zhonghua again, and then said a little uneasily.
This is something that every company and even every elder must have for the younger generation. It is still very different from the red envelopes in mainland China. The most important thing is the intention, not the amount of money.
"Yes, I understand. I'm ready."
When Zhang Zhonghua said this, he was thinking of the spectacular scene when Brother Ma was distributing red packets in his previous life. The downstairs was densely packed with people. He would have to experience it one day.
As for Hong Kong Island and Guangdong Province, there are red envelopes in Guangdong Province. Zhang Zhonghua has seen a lot of them on the Internet in his previous life. The red envelopes in the north are worth hundreds or even thousands, but here in Yangcheng they are only five.
If you pay ten yuan, having dozens of yuan is already considered a big deal.
"Li Shi" is also called "Li Shi", which means good fortune and good luck. This is a habit in Guangdong Province and Hong Kong Island.
Whether it is the super rich with billions of dollars or the general public, the profits distributed are mostly 1 yuan or 2 yuan, and the maximum amount does not exceed 10 yuan. In this era, it is probably even less.
The boss of the company distributes bonuses to his employees regardless of size. Every employee is the same and it is not linked to performance or length of work.
Just like having New Year's Eve dinner and New Year's Eve dinner with them, it can create a feeling of a big family, increase employees' sense of belonging to the company, and make the relationship between employees and the company closer.
During the New Year, in addition to giving out red chips to employees, elders give out red chips to their children, when going to restaurants to eat, they give out red chips to waiters, and they also give out red chips to unmarried friends. All kinds of things are done to wish good luck.
It was soon 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The two stores that CFC was currently operating were officially closed for the holidays. After checking the stores and locking the doors, all the employees took the red chips distributed by Zhang Zhonghua and went home happily.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the business peak was approaching, CFC decided to take the holiday and let its employees go home for the New Year. Although many tourists who wanted to eat CFC were a little disappointed. However, CFC's humanistic care was fully displayed in front of the people of Hong Kong, so that
Hong Kong Island residents’ favorable impression of CFC has increased significantly.
After handling the company's affairs, Zhang Zhonghua also drove to the Lou family. His only relatives and friends in Hong Kong Island were the Lou family, so he could only celebrate the New Year at the Lou family.
Zhang Zhonghua is going to visit several suppliers after the new year, as well as his senior brothers.
After living in Hong Kong Island for more than half a year, Zhang Zhonghua also had a general understanding of the customs of the Spring Festival on Hong Kong Island, so he gave full play to the Chinese people's good habit of doing as the locals do when they are in the country and lived according to the customs of Hong Kong Island. However, many customs of Hong Kong Island are still very interesting.
For example, the custom of not getting a haircut during the first lunar month is also a custom in Hong Kong Island, so the business of getting hair done in barber shops on Hong Kong Island is often extremely booming. The word "hair" for hair is the same as the word "fa" for making a fortune. Hong Kong Islanders only get their hair done during the Spring Festival.
If you don’t know how to cut your hair, the homophonic pronunciation of “haircut” is “hair reduction”, that is, to reduce the chance of getting rich or the loss of money.
In the north, not having a haircut during the first month is because a haircut during the first month will kill the uncle. However, the reason for not having a haircut during the first month is a misinformation. This custom originated around the time when the Qing government issued an order to shave hair in 1644.
Not cutting one's hair means "reminiscing about the past", which is a custom that has been circulating since the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Qing Dynasty ordered all citizens to cut their hair. In order to commemorate the Ming Dynasty, some people did not cut their hair during the first month to express "reminiscing about the past".
"Old", but he could not openly confront the Qing government, so he was mistakenly called "dead uncle" due to homophonic pronunciation, so there was a saying that "his uncle died by cutting his head in the first month", which has been passed down to this day.
However, neither the south nor the north can get a haircut during the first lunar month, but Zhang Zhonghua's hair has grown again, so he has no choice but to wait until the first lunar month to get a haircut.
"Ahua, you are finally back."
Lou Xiao'e said very happily when she saw Zhang Zhonghua coming back.
"Ahua, are everything arranged in the store?"
Lou's mother asked.
"Everything has been arranged. We will take a day off and let all the employees go home to celebrate the Chinese New Year."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Well, that's right. During the Chinese New Year, we can't let employees not even have a reunion dinner. Everyone celebrates the Chinese New Year together, and the money they make is not bad."
Lou's mother said very pleased.
Around six or five o'clock in the afternoon, Lou Zhenhua also returned home, and everyone started making dumplings and making rice cakes together.
"There is a fireworks show in Central tonight. After dinner, should we go over and have a look?"
In the cooking room, Father Lou suddenly said.
"Are you still going? You forgot about last year's Chinese New Year. There were so many people there in Central. It was so crowded and unsafe. Xiaoli is pregnant again now. What if something happens?"
Lou's mother worriedly looked at Liu Xiaoli who was sitting on the sofa playing with Lou Yongjia, and Lou Xiaobao who was reading comic books.
"Haha, mom, don't worry. A few days ago, my dad asked me to rent a yacht. Let's sit on the yacht and watch on the Victoria Sea. No matter how many people there are, we can't be crowded."
When Lou Yongjia heard his mother's words, he told Lou Zhenhua's arrangement.
Lou Zhenhua was quite proud of his arrangement. If he hadn't arranged for his son to rent a yacht in advance, he might not have been able to rent it.
After all, we are people with status, so how can we squeeze in with everyone else? We must be high-end and classy.
"Renting a yacht in advance? That's okay. You old man knew that I would make a fool of myself and didn't say anything in advance.
"
Lou's mother said and rolled her eyes at Lou Zhenhua.
Everyone was chatting and cooking. The time soon came to seven o'clock and the meal was ready.
Everyone gathered around the table and started eating.
"It's been half a year since I came to Hong Kong Island, thanks to Uncle Lou for your help. Thank you all very much, and I'd like to toast to you all."
Zhang Zhonghua was blinded when he first arrived in Hong Kong Island. The Lou family helped him with everything. Many of the suppliers of his cfc restaurant were introduced by Lou Zhenhua.
"Don't be polite as a family."
Lou's mother recalled that in the past six months, Zhang Zhonghua had been busy with various things every day. In a short period of time, he had reached a monthly profit of close to one million, which was a miracle.
"Next year, I am also planning to buy a villa. Then we can live closer. The villas here are really good."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
"The environment here is indeed very good. I heard that the rural areas in the New Territories are backward. Many places there are not as good as those in the mainland. Some people live in houses that are similar to thatched houses. When it comes to the rainy season, I can't imagine how to survive.
.”
Lou's mother said she couldn't understand how Hong Kong Island, a relatively developed place, could be so poor and backward.
"The best thing about Hong Kong Island is the main island. The Kowloon Peninsula is just okay. The New Territories are not developed yet and there is indeed a big gap between them and other places. It will be better in a few years when development occurs there."
Lou Zhenhua said.
After dinner, everyone took the car and rushed to Central. Well, Lou Zhenhua, Lou's mother, Lou Xiao'e, Lou Yongjia plus Zhang Zhonghua, a group of seven people took the car to the pier and boarded the rented yacht.
It was almost half past eight by the time their yacht arrived at Victoria Bay.
At this time, Central was already crowded with people, and the traffic was severely congested. More people could only stay on the other side, because there were so many people on the main island, and the entire police department was mobilized to not allow more people to board the island.
The yacht is floating on the sea, looking at the brightly lit Victoria Harbor, and feeling the sea breeze blowing on my face from time to time. It is very comfortable and my mood is extremely comfortable.
There are already many yachts on the sea, and many people come to Victoria Harbor on fishing boats. The sea is also quite lively, and everyone is waiting for the fireworks show.
Zhang Zhonghua thought of last winter, when he was still in Sijiu City, as if he was guarding someone, and the biting cold wind was really... Thinking of how cold it was in Sijiu City, he couldn't help but shudder, or Hong Kong
The island is warm.
He was quite emotional about his six months in Hong Kong Island. Although he was not a rich man now, he could still be considered a small boss.
If there were a personal wealth ranking list that included everyone, with his millions in cash and CFC’s brand value and formula value, he would be able to enter the 100,000 list even if he couldn’t be in the top 10,000.
Zhang Zhonghua lamented that he has been as busy as a dog for more than half a year every day. He has never met any tycoons in Xiangjiang. Brother K. His level is still too low, and he is still far away from the circle of those tycoons.
I still have to keep working hard!
"It's still comfortable to be on the sea. The scenery on both sides of the strait is really refreshing and the buildings are also beautiful."
Lou Xiao'e felt the pleasant sea breeze and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hong Kong Island is, after all, an international metropolis. Last year, Hong Kong's GDP reached US$2.7 billion, and its per capita GDP was US$700. This is higher than the GDP of most countries. It is normal for cities to be well developed!
"
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Which country has the highest GDP in the world?"
After Lou's mother came to Hong Kong Island, she learned a lot of terms that she didn't know before, such as gdp.
"I know that the highest GDP in the United States is US$816.7 billion, with a per capita GDP of US$4,336; the UK's GDP is US$113.1 billion, with a per capita GDP of US$2,058."
Before Zhang Zhonghua could speak, Lou Xiao'e answered directly.
