By the end of October 1984, the daily turnover of "Polar Bear Restaurant" had reached the 6,000 yuan mark.
Because almost all the money is spent on motivating employees, hiring famous chefs, and selecting ingredients.
The restaurant has successfully eliminated most waste and theft by relying on its strict management system.
Therefore, in terms of profit, their profit is 20% higher than that of "Yili Fast Food", which has a daily turnover of up to 7,000 yuan.
This means that the annual profit of "Polar Bear Restaurant" has reached at least one million yuan.
There is no doubt that it has become the most profitable store under "Polar Bear Service Company".
Judging from the consumption level at the time, this was definitely an incredible business miracle.
It can even be said that Hong Yanwu has built "Polar Bear Restaurant" into a restaurant brand that belongs to the service company and is well-known in Beijing.
This is just like the "Xilaishun" that became popular due to the famous halal chef Chu Lianxiang.
It's also like the "Kangle Restaurant" founded by female chef Chang Jing.
In this way, not only the financial pressure caused by the service company's preparation for building the building has been greatly alleviated.
Hong Yanwu also successfully reduced his labor intensity and returned to normal levels.
"Zhang Dashao" also has several old friends with whom he can chat.
The factory leadership team is particularly satisfied with Xiao Zaoer's increasingly high level.
The employees are also full of praise for the "Fushunzhai" sauce beef, which is only available in house, and the various "shaomai" at "Duyichu".
Everyone is really satisfied and there is no one who doesn’t praise it.
This result is absolutely perfect.
But the benefits spread out from this are actually far more than that.
Because you must know that this wave of retirement is not limited to Qinxing, it is a similar situation in other industries.
So Hong Yanwu simply took the initiative to collect antiques and recruited talents extensively.
The most important thing is the traditional trade of industrial arts and crafts.
Whether it is jade, ivory carvings, bone carvings, carved lacquer, material utensils, gold lacquer inlays, filigree inlays, metalwork products, etc.
Or folk toys such as Easter eggs, painted sculptures, brocade boxes, Juan sculptures, carved porcelain, shadow puppets, woolly monkeys, and mane-maned lions.
Hong Yanwu wants it!
And the more prestigious and reputable the person, the more generous he is at the price.
Specifically, he flexibly adopted two methods to remunerate these masters.
One is to teach skills in a class, with guaranteed harvests during droughts and floods, half a day a day, and a salary of one hundred and fifty.
If qualified technical personnel are trained, a bonus of fifty yuan will be given per person.
The main purpose is to help Longkou Village cultivate technical backbones and develop tourism products.
The other is that he acquires the works completed by the masters themselves.
This is a job where you can make a lot of money by negotiating prices alone.
The master craftsmen can either choose their own materials and express themselves, or they can provide the raw materials and specify the theme.
In short, as long as you have real skills, you can earn as much money as you want, there is no upper limit.
Hong Yanwu was very smart in his thinking. There were only multiple benefits to doing this, and there was no loss at all.
First of all, in terms of folk toys, they are the toys that can quickly become tourist commodities.
Take the brocade box as an example, it is an ancient gift box, let alone whether it can be sold or not.
In order to preserve his many cultural relics, calligraphy, paintings, seal stones and antiques, he first needed a large number for his own use.
Secondly, in addition to jewelry boxes, antique boxes, handicraft boxes, and four treasure boxes for the study.
This craft can also be used to make small dressing tables, as well as shoulder bags, small wallets, portable cosmetic bags, photo frames and pen holders, document baskets, etc.
Therefore, it has the attributes of practicality, exquisiteness, low cost, portability and national characteristics.
It's impossible for tourists not to recognize it.
Secondly, let’s talk about the tall and sophisticated ones.
According to the price he gave, the master craftsmen in the handicraft factory could earn several times more than if they had worked for the public.
But no matter how expensive it is, it is not a terminal market after all, so it is still more cost-effective than going to the handicraft factory to buy it like he did in the past.
Moreover, given the age of the old masters, their skills have already been matured.
He paid half of the salary upfront and gave him fewer restrictions on creation.
So with a happy mood, the enthusiasm of the master craftsmen will naturally increase, and what they make will definitely be the best among the best.
The chicken blood stones and Tianhuang high-grade aniseed in his hands can only be crafted by a famous master so that they will not be ruined.
Also, don’t forget, he still has a roomful of “river treasures”.
For those deflated gold pots, cracked gold bowls, broken silver bottles, dull jewelry, and broken porcelain, this is the best opportunity to repair them.
At the same time, he can also shoot separate videos for master craftsmen in different professions, trying his best to preserve the images and related skills and knowledge.
He fully entrusted this matter to Song Pingping.
Ask her to be the director, rope in their cameramen, and produce video materials for the craftsmen.
Song Pingping is not afraid of getting tired and is very happy.
Because at the price given by Hong Yanwu, she would soon be able to buy a "little country turtle".
It's a great way to make extra money, and you can also practice your business, so why not?
There is no doubt that this is what brings these old craftsmen home.
Because to be honest, when people get older, they no longer enjoy eating and drinking.
We are all ordinary people. In addition to taking medicine, how much money can we spend on ourselves?
I'm just running for the kids.
From a personal point of view, except for those whose families are really poor, all senior chefs desire "fame" more than "profit".
What's more, their generation is uneducated and has little chance of writing books and talking about it.
Then you can leave a vivid personal image, and with the help of technology, you can express your life experience and unique skills in the camera.
It can almost be said that Hong Yanwu achieved the perfection of life for them.
Therefore, none of the masters were unhappy, and they all wanted to take pictures of themselves first.
Everyone is very cooperative and knows everything.
But no one is in a hurry about this matter, and it must be considered comprehensively based on physical condition and age.
There is no other way, who knows how old you are?
There are many things that cannot be said well, so this is the safest way.
Of course, these things also bring an additional benefit.
Those are the houses that Hong Yanwu bought, and they will be put to good use now.
He no longer has to worry about repairing the house and letting it go to waste.
He took out eight or nine small courtyards by category and asked the ancient construction team to clean them up quickly, preparing to set up separate workshops one by one.
To put it bluntly, he cooperated with Longkou Village and opened eight or nine handicraft factories in one fell swoop.
Although they are all miniature, the number of people together is not even half the size of the Longkou Village Handicraft Factory.
But these are masters from all walks of life, equivalent to technical research institutes and training schools.
In any industry, only R&D and technology are the real foundation and foundation.
Therefore, despite the sudden increase in expenses, he still feels proud that "all the talents in the world are under my control".
Finally, it is worth mentioning that Hong Yanzheng’s master, the old carpenter Wang Hanping, will also retire at the end of this year.
So as soon as Hong Yanwu heard about this letter, he immediately came to visit.
Wang Hanping was hired on a long-term basis with a salary of 300 yuan to help him repair wooden furniture.
Not to mention the ones he bought earlier, the ones shipped back from Jincheng alone were enough for Master Wang to spend a year or two.
At the same time, the most amazing thing is that this kid really dared to be "unfilial" and actually caused trouble for his own mother.
For no other reason than that, his own father was busy doing business and was enjoying himself.
But no one came to appraise and register those things in Jincheng.
So this kid is planning and calculating, no one else can count on him, and he can only rely on Wang Yunlin.
Sure enough, as he wished, a mother would not fail to help her son, and Wang Yunlin was also willing to go to her parents' house to take care of him.
So from then on, the old lady would go back to Wanyan Mansion for two or three days every week.
But at this point, it’s time to talk about Hong Yanzheng, he is the most unjust and unfair.
Just because of this matter, he felt awkward in his heart and had a big opinion against Hong Yanwu.
Why?
Because it was his master who repaired the furniture, and his mother who cleaned up the toys.
These two people are also very responsible. They get on with the job as soon as they receive it. Weekends are a must-go.
Then as an apprentice and as a son, can he still be idle?
I have to go to work with him, help the master, and help my mother move things.
Good guy, the third child doesn't give a penny to him. He is a useless force and he is a big loser.
Can you still have no complaints?
But on the other hand, Hong Yi is the most beautiful.
Because his third uncle directly decided that his father would die in the half-acre garden during the weekend.
I still have to rely on my mother to take care of things at home.
This week he had a chance to take a breather and have a relatively relaxed day.
To be honest, he really wanted to say something to his third uncle.
Your great kindness will be unforgettable to my nephew!
