Lao Tan indeed groomed Zhou Xiaomei as his successor.
This is not because they are related, but because Zhou Xiaomei has this quality. First of all, she has a good image, has her own aura, and has the energy of a strong woman. She is dedicated to her work and is honest.
The whole group is convinced.
She is calm-minded, does not panic when faced with problems, and has the demeanor of a general. She has a good personality, is warm-hearted, has an excellent reputation among employees, and has a mass base according to the national standards for selecting cadres.
He is well-received for his precise and measured handling of external affairs.
The most important thing is to have a strong mind. If you train for two years, you can take on the important role of Ah Qiao.
Of course, when Lao Tan talks about cultivating successors, he does not only refer to himself, but to the entire management team. In the words of management - when a leader has no successor, the company will have no future and will have no future.
Today, if you can be valued by your boss as a manager, it depends on your excellence and ability. When you become a manager, it is no longer how good and capable you are, but how good the employees are under your management, creating
How many achievements have you made, have you brought out successors like you, so that the company can develop and have successors?
Of course, many managers regard teaching apprentices to starve their masters as their experience and psychological bottom line, and do not let their subordinates surpass them for the sake of official status. Although they can maintain their position for a while, their development stops here.
Everyone likes to be a leader, but before becoming one, one must know what a leader is.
Leaders, leaders and mentors can not only lead the team forward, but also serve as role models and cultivate talents.
As the New Year's Day bell rings in 2017, people bid farewell to the busy and harvest-filled 2016 and enter a new year.
January 5th, Thursday, is the eighth day of winter in the lunar calendar, and there is a slight cold.
The small banquet hall on the second floor of the Central Kitchen Store on Yunxia Road in the south of Suzhou City is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. This year's annual meeting of Aqiao Catering Group will be held here.
Let's see who's there.
Needless to say, Yanhua and Lao Tan, Zhang Yu, Yanzi and their family of three rushed back from Hainan yesterday and arrived here early today.
In the provincial capital, under the leadership of Zhang Li and Zhang Xiangdong, there were store managers and chefs from various stores, as well as three cooperative store owners from Fushun, Jinzhou, and Anshan, as well as the financial director of the headquarters, Sister Xu, and the dumpling director Wang.
Hong, service supervisor Xiaofeng and kitchen director Zhongqing.
Here in Inner Mongolia are Zhou Xiaomei, Wang Shulan, store managers, chefs, kitchen director Yang Zhijun, service supervisor Tu Yaqi Qige, and Jining store owner Huang Lijuan.
The annual meeting was held in Suzhou, and Gu Yi and Qiao Shan naturally became the hosts.
Currently, there are five stores opened in Suzhou, and two are under preparation. Qiao Shan plans to open another store after this year and plans to close it. She plans to carefully manage her five stores and no longer expand.
Gu Yi's plan for next year is to open three stores and start developing in Hangzhou at the same time.
At this rate, Aqiao will be able to spread all over Suzhou and Hangzhou in two years. Of course, this is an ideal plan. No one can predict what will happen in the middle. It may be faster, or it may be aborted.
As cheerful music played, 20 waitresses selected from five stores in Suzhou, dressed in Jiangnan water town costumes, kicked off the annual meeting with a beautiful dance.
Then, Chief Financial Officer Xu Jie reported on the operations in 2016. We will not describe it in detail here. Overall, the total turnover of the 32 stores was 280 million, and the overall gross profit margin was 51%.
The interest rate is 14% and the income is considerable.
Next is the reward based on merit. The regional manager, store manager, chef, kitchen director, and service supervisor all received heavy red envelopes. The joy and excitement in their hearts can be seen from the smiles on their faces.
You will get something if you put in the effort. The earth is never stingy in its generosity to workers. Enterprises will always give satisfactory feedback to those who are loyal, dedicated and capable.
Lao Tan did not participate in the entire awarding process. He just sat quietly in the audience and watched, with a smile on his face and moisture in his eyes.
His mood was excited and gratifying. How should I put it, watching a small dumpling restaurant grow from scratch, and then after five years of ups and downs, it has grown to an annual turnover of more than 200 million today. One can imagine the hardships involved.
.
As a founder and executive, can you not be excited?
Ten or twenty years ago, he was just a poor boy who came out of the countryside and went to a strange city to make a living. He wanted to get rid of poverty and no longer be poor, earn money, marry a wife, start a family and start a business, and not make his mother worried.
Although I was also very ambitious, I didn't expect to achieve what I have achieved today, or in other words, I didn't even dare to think about it.
Twenty years, how many twenty years are there in life? To be honest, if you do well, even if you are not successful, you can still be considered successful in your career.
Although the current Aqiao cannot be compared with those well-known catering companies, it is young and has just started, with a promising future and broad prospects.
Yanhua, who was sitting next to Lao Tan, was in the same mood as Lao Tan at the moment - excited and happy.
Calculated in terms of enterprise value, she has now entered the ranks of moderately successful entrepreneurs and is the envy of people. If Ah Qiao's thirty-two stores were sold now and its brand value was added, she would already be worth tens of millions.
Rich woman.
Multi-millionaire woman, is this what she has thought about?
To be honest, she had never thought about it at all, not even in her dreams.
Things in the world are often like this. Don't think too much, keep a normal and kind heart, be serious, and persist in doing it, and the rewards will often be unexpected.
It seems accidental, but in fact it is inevitable.
When you understand the pros and cons of life, money becomes insignificant, and the beauty and value of life are more important.
Lao Tan and Yanhua may not really understand these principles, but they are walking on this road, doing things under the guidance of their hearts, and they feel very happy.
It's normal.
We might as well review Yanhua's original idea of opening a restaurant. At that time, she and Yanzi just wanted to open a small restaurant and did not want to make much money, just enough to spend.
At that time, the amount of money I could spend was only 3,500 to 5,000. I didn’t even dare to think about 10,000. I even thought that as long as I could do something without losing money, I should just learn from experience.
At Lao Tan's suggestion, I opened a dumpling restaurant and increased the investment from tens of thousands to more than two hundred thousand. To be honest, I was frightened at the time, thinking that I could just recover the cost.
People who are not greedy have a generous heart and know how to be content.
Do ordinary things with a normal heart, and keep your original intention and happiness will come naturally.
To be honest, it is not easy for people to maintain their original intention when it comes to money, but if they do, they will definitely be blessed with profound blessings.
Ah Qiao succeeded and made money. What is commendable is that the two women were not deceived by money. They remained the same as before. At most, they thought it was interesting and the hard work was not in vain.
In Yanhua's words, a net income of 200,000 yuan a year is enough, which is much more than originally expected.
Of course, the actual income is more than this, but I just don’t care.
Because you don’t care, you dare to invest, and you dare to give up most of the profits, so that partners and employees who follow you can benefit. This leads to win-win development and more profits.
To give a simple example, this was what Yanzi said when Yanzi and Zhang Yu quit management.
She said that our sauerkraut stuffed dumplings cost sixteen yuan a plate. If we try hard to sell them for seventeen yuan, the customers won't say anything, but it would be better if we sell them for fifteen yuan for one yuan less. The one dollar given up is the cost, and the one dollar recovered is the cost.
Double your profits and reputation.
After she finished speaking, Yanhua and Lao Tan were greatly shocked. They didn't expect that she, who was so careless, would have such powerful insights.
"Don't look at me with admiration. When you first opened a restaurant, you just wanted to make pocket money. I didn't expect to earn so much. If you earn more, you should understand a truth - not all profits are directly proportional to the price of vegetables.
The profits don't all come from the price of the vegetables.
How have we earned our money over the years?
To sum it up, let’s just mention it.
Give away costs to customers and improve benefits to employees. I didn't accept it at first, but now I accept it.
If you don’t compete with customers, you will get profits; if you don’t compete with employees, you will get profits.”
Yanzi’s words show that the issue is thought-provoking. (To be continued)
