As soon as I took the medicine prescribed by the old Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing, the phone rang. It was Zhang Li.
Zhang Li said on the phone that Zhang Xiangdong had been in business for a month on the first day of the new year, and the wages were paid the day before yesterday. Yesterday, five store managers, six chefs, eight supervisors, and more than 30 employees resigned and were ready to come back to work.
To be honest, Zhang Xiangdong thought of people resigning, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people.
He and his wife Qin Lili made preparations in advance, so everyone who resigned was approved and their wages were paid.
Zhang Li accepted all the people who came back according to Lao Tan's instructions and arranged them to various stores.
"It's easy to arrange the supervisors and employees, mainly the store manager and chef. We won't need that many at once," Zhang Li said.
"It doesn't matter, we can arrange it." Lao Tan said: "Changsha needs a set of people, Suzhou has opened two stores and needs two sets, and the Central Kitchen store in Beijing needs one set. There is nothing left."
"They are all from other places. Some people like to go there and some don't," Zhang Li said.
"It's okay. You ask Zhongqing to make arrangements. He has a way. By the way, is he in Beijing now?" Lao Tan asked.
"Well, in Beijing." Zhang Li said.
Lao Tan thought for a while and said: "This is the case. You and Zhou Xiaomei should talk about it and see what she thinks."
"She is now in Hohhot. We talked on the phone. She was not sure and asked you." Zhang Li said.
"Oh------just do as I say." Lao Tan said.
This result was what he expected. Most of the employees have feelings for Ah Qiao and will definitely come back. They have to make arrangements when they come back. Although there is some pressure on wages, they are all old employees who are skilled in the work and are well prepared.
After Lao Tan finished talking to Zhang Li on the phone, he immediately called Zhongqing and asked about the decoration status of the Beijing Central Kitchen store. After learning that the kitchen had already started, he asked Zhongqing to go back to the provincial capital and arrange the assignment of the chef.
"Go back and talk to Xiaohui and Xiaolong. This time we will open a store in Changsha, Xiaohui's hometown. Do they want to come?" Lao Tan said.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to them." Zhongqing added: "Boss, this guy Zhang Xiangdong is unreasonable. I heard that he wants to expand his business. As long as there is a Qiao Dumpling Restaurant, he will open it on the first day of the new year and start a fight with us.
"
"Really?" Lao Tan asked, and then said: "It's a good thing, I hope he does this. Only with competition can there be motivation. It is best to make it like KFC and McDonald's, monopolizing the market."
"He started building a central kitchen," Zhongqing said.
"Okay, this guy has a lot of sense and is a man of action." Lao Tan said.
"Prepare to recruit people from our family."
"You can't dig him away." Old Tan said confidently: "Don't worry, if you can train him as an opponent, you will have a way to defeat him. I guess you know this better than me.
Let him run for two years, so that we can have a comparison. Ah Qiao's background over the years is not something he can do just as he says. If it is a healthy competition, we will win-win with him. If it is vicious and ignored, it will be a dead end.
"
Hotels are not afraid of crowds. The more clusters, the better. But we cannot engage in price wars or malicious marketing, as this will only harm ourselves.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield but not a battlefield. Integrity wins the world at all times.
The next morning, Han Jun called Aunt Du yesterday, the landlady, and her daughter was here.
This is a beautiful girl with a tall figure and a decent professional attire that makes her even more charming.
"Hello, Manager Han, my name is Bai Jiaqi. My mother said you need two houses as staff dormitories?" Bai Jiaqi asked politely.
"Yes." Han Jun replied with a smile.
Bai Jiaqi's beauty is indeed stunning, but it seems to have little impact on Han Jun. Not surprising, after working in a hotel for a long time, I can see all kinds of beauties, and I have immunity.
"There is an apartment nearby, with an area of 180 square meters. I used to do vocal training classes, but the neighbors found it too noisy and moved the place. Now that I have nothing to do, I will take you to have a look." Bai Jiaqi said.
"Oh, let me ask first, how much is the rent?" Han Jun asked.
"Eighty thousand."
"Is this expensive?"
Han Jun plans to rent a house for RMB 60,000. At this price, he can rent two pretty good houses in the provincial capital, and the area is large enough.
"I'll show you the house first, and negotiate the rent if you like it. If not, I'll find it for you," Bai Jiaqi said.
The apartment building is behind the Changsha Building. It is a bit quiet and old-fashioned. The house is on the 11th floor, the top floor, with a separate door, a corridor in the middle, and three rooms on each side. Each room has an independent bathroom, and a water heater can be installed.
Taking a bath is what Han Jun cares about most.
Nowadays, three things are essential in employee dormitories: water heater, washing machine, and WLAN.
When employees are tired after a long day, it is most comfortable to take a hot shower after get off work. There is a washing machine for washing clothes, and now none of the children use a washboard, and neither do the adults.
The most important thing is to have an Internet connection. Without it, you are isolated from the world.
Han Jun fell in love with it at first sight. He was alone on the same floor. Where could he find it? The rooms were sufficient and independent, with three men and women each, which was just right.
It’s just the rent------
"Manager Han, how do you feel?" Bai Jiaqi asked, seeing that Han Jun was already moved.
"Well------very good." Han Jun nodded.
"I think it's just right for you to use as your dormitory. It's hard to find a house like this in the entire district," Bai Jiaqi said.
"It's just that the rent is a bit expensive." Han Jun told the truth.
"You get what you pay for. It's cheaper to rent two rooms separately, but it's not as convenient and it's hard to manage. This is the top floor, a separate floor. Your hotel gets off work late, so it hardly disturbs the residents, right?" Bai Jiaqi said.
.
"That's true------"
"Then why are you hesitating? Eighty thousand is not much."
"Can it be lowered?"
"cannot."
Seeing Bai Jiaqi's resolute attitude, Han Jun wanted to avoid her and talk to the landlord, so he asked, "Can I talk to the landlord?"
"I am the landlord." Bai Jiaqi said very calmly, with a trace of imperceptible pride on her face.
"Are you the homeowner?" Han Jun asked in disbelief.
Bai Jiaqi didn't say anything. She opened her bag and took out a red leather housing certificate. She opened it and asked Han Jun to look at it. Han Jun saw that it was indeed the real thing, except that the name on it was Bai Jiaqi's mother, Aunt Du.
"Did you reply to the letter this time?" Bai Jiaqi asked after taking back the house certificate.
Han Jun scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Do you think this will work? I've rented the house for 80,000 yuan. I'll give you 60,000 yuan in cash and a 20,000 yuan VIP card. You and Aunt Du and Uncle Bai have a lot of entertainment.
I always eat out. Although my house is a dumpling restaurant, it can’t compare to a big restaurant, but it’s definitely unique and I guarantee you’ll be satisfied. How do you like it?”
Bai Jiaqi smiled like a blooming flower. She looked at Han Jun with big talkative eyes and said, "You are quite good at marketing. Tell me, what are the benefits of the VIP card?"
“20% off on dishes, excluding drinks.”
"That's it?"
"Priority is given to booking a private room. You and your family members will receive a big gift on your birthday, and the birthday banquet will be free of charge. There will be luxury gift packages on May Day, November, Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Day, and Spring Festival.
My VIP cards are not easily issued. Each store has ten places. You are the No.1 in the entire Changsha District."
"This is worth considering," Bai Jiaqi said.
"You mean you agree?" Han Jun asked.
Bai Jiaqi said: "It's noon now, I just had a steamed bun in the morning, and I didn't even have time to drink the porridge before I came to you ------"
"Look, if I didn't tell you earlier, I wouldn't have eaten anything in the morning. Come on, please." Han Jun said immediately.
