In 2011, the Year of the Rabbit, the day after the heavy snowfall, the first snow of this winter fell quietly.
In the morning, the sky became overcast, and the whole sky was gray and depressing. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the overcast became even deeper, and it was so dark that it looked like it was about to fall.
Snowflakes as big as copper coins began to fall, and soon the whole sky and earth became completely white. Just like at night, the cars driving on the road turned on their headlights, and there was a layer of white snow on the street.
Snowflakes are flying in the air.
The entire provincial capital is a world of snow.
Zhang Li had a day off today. She went to her sister's house to see her nephew in the morning. She didn't have dinner at her sister's house. She came home before the snow fell to prepare some hot pot for herself.
There are slices of meat in the refrigerator and seasonings are ready. I bought a few vegetables and enoki mushrooms when I went upstairs. While I was washing the vegetables, I thought it would be boring to eat alone, so I was going to call Lao Tan to ask what he was doing. If he had nothing to do, he could come over and eat something.
Tuesday, not busy, plus it's snowing.
Lao Tan was indeed not busy and was quite angry.
At noon, Lao Feng came, led a few guests, and chatted with Lao Tan for a while after dinner.
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, the implication behind his words was that Lao Tan almost always has the final say in the dumpling restaurant, and the employees all obey him. If Lao Tan quits, the business would be in trouble. Of course, he said these words with Lao Tan in his arms.
Lao, I mean there would be no dumpling restaurant without Lao Tan. The dumpling restaurant is what it is today, and Lao Tan is indispensable.
Then the conversation changed, and he implicitly said that a chef and stuffing mixer should be trained, so that if Hua Qing or Wang Hong quit, there would be no successors. He said that he had a friend's sister who used to be a foreman in a restaurant, and she could come over.
Serve as Li Shuang's deputy and train him, so that if Li Shuang quits, someone can take over.
Those who understand need not say much, this is obviously a showdown.
Lao Tan told Lao Feng on the spot that he could rest assured that even if he left, he would not give up his job and would make sure everything was connected before leaving. In addition, he should tell him that he was not that kind of person.
He didn't know if this was what Yan Zi meant, but he thought not.
Let’s take a look at Yanzi and Yanhua.
During this time, the two of them have made a lot of progress through study in the training class. Not to mention changing people, at least they are different from before.
Even though I was a boss before, I still have a strong housewife vibe about me, which can be seen at a glance.
Now the whole person's temperament has changed. For example, the same piece of clothing used to look ordinary when worn on me, but now it is different. There is an indescribable feeling, as if it has taste and inner things.
During the training, the two found that what they learned was very close to what they were doing in the dumpling house. The teacher talked about theory, and the dumpling house was in practical operation. In this way, the two got twice the result with half the effort and made rapid progress.
I have met many friends in the training class, especially those who are restaurant owners. I feel envious when I see people making their restaurants bigger and bigger through learning and continuing to develop.
Through communication, I learned that they started from a small restaurant, and through painstaking management, they gradually became bigger. Until today, I found that management like before was no longer outdated, so I went out to study, recharge myself, and learned advanced management.
The method is to continue your career after returning home.
Among them are some female bosses who are good at catering in provincial cities. Seeing that they are worth tens of millions, they are still learning, and they are very modest. They know that they still have a lot to learn, and they are just getting started.
As the saying goes, learning makes people progress. Through learning, the two of them learned what catering is and how to make catering. They also understood what qualities and what kind of structure a good boss needs to have.
All learning is for application.
Knowledge is not power, using knowledge is power.
The two of them clearly knew that Lao Tan contributed a lot to the Dumpling House becoming what it is today. They knew that the future development of the Dumpling House would depend on Lao Tan. This was an indisputable fact.
After realizing this, the two of them planned to increase Lao Tan's salary and plan to give him shares.
Before they opened a dumpling restaurant, they were just housewives, relying on the man to make money to support the family. The old man would take all the big ideas. Now, although they have opened a restaurant and are ostensibly the bosses, they still have to talk to the old man when making major decisions.
Let's discuss it.
After Yanhua told Lao Deng about her idea with Yanzi, Lao Deng expressed his agreement and support, thinking that this should be done. He works all day long and cannot help Yanhua. The only thing he can do is to pick up customers in the store, and there is no need to do so now.
, the dumpling restaurant is famous, many people in the factory go there on their own.
Besides, I don’t know much about catering, so there should be someone like Lao Tan to help with the cooking. Just like their work section needs someone like him who understands management and has comprehensive skills to lead it.
On the other hand, Yanhua and I have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and they trust each other. Especially after Yanhua made a mistake, he forgave him a lot, which made him cherish Yanhua even more. I hope Yanhua can do something, and
I hope Yanhua will do better and better. If my wife does a good job, she will have face.
This is what Lao Deng thinks, but not Lao Feng.
We already knew what Lao Feng was thinking.
When Yanzi told him about He Yanhua's plan, Lao Feng directly opposed it and said that opening a store would be enough, and he did not support continuing to open a store.
"Lao Tan's salary is already high enough now, and there is no need to increase it. Let me forget it, you and Yanhua can each earn 300,000 yuan a year. If you give Lao Tan more shares, you two will have nothing left.
Besides, he didn’t invest,” Lao Feng said.
"Then I haven't invested yet, it's all your money." Yanzi said a little unhappy.
"Aren't we a couple?" Lao Feng said.
"This is what you said, when will you get the certificate?" Yanzi took the opportunity to ask.
This touches on Lao Feng’s pain points.
Now he was thinking more than before, not only about the short life of the old Feng family's wife, but also about his own family property.
My wife who gave birth to my children didn’t get anything, so I left early. I’m still a little worried about Yanzi, a half-way couple. If I divorce him one day after receiving the certificate, will I get a share of the family property? Although pre-marital property notarization can now be carried out.
, but if I really do it, it will be embarrassing for me, a dignified village secretary.
Also, the swallows will no longer follow me.
The two did not discuss the matter again, but there was no doubt that there was a gap between them.
Since Lao Feng did not agree to give Lao Tan a salary increase and shares, Lao Tan's salary was still 6,000 yuan.
I don’t have any opinions on these old friends, and I don’t know anything about it. I work at the dumpling restaurant mainly for Yanhua’s sake, and my old friend of more than ten years must help. If Yanzi opened it alone, he might help to finish the business.
Then he left. After all, six thousand yuan was too little for him.
But what Lao Feng said today made him unhappy, and he had the idea not to do it anymore - what else would he do if he didn't trust him?
I was angry and naturally in a bad mood, and with the snow falling, I felt a little depressed.
Zhang Li called and asked for hot pot. He was looking for someone to drink with, so he readily agreed, poured a pound of wine into a wine jar, explained it to Li Shuang and Hua Qing, and then left the store.
There were very few pedestrians on the street, and the snowflakes were quite big. They fell softly on my body, and I didn’t feel a trace of chill.
The day before yesterday, that is, a week after the fallen uncle was admitted to the hospital, his son did not come. The old lady came to the store. She said a lot of thanks and apologized to Lao Tan for her son. At the same time, she gave him 1,000 yuan.
Tan confiscated that much, leaving only five hundred.
Seeing the old lady Lao Tan couldn't help but think of her mother.
I went back once during the August Festival, and my mother could still sit in the yard and pick up corns. I stayed at home for three days, but I didn’t stay enough. I had no choice. The dumpling restaurant had just been open for more than three months. I couldn’t let go, so I became anxious and panicked.
's back.
As I walked, I thought, now the dumpling restaurant is on the right track, Hua Qing can cook in the kitchen, Li Shuang can handle the front desk, it doesn't matter whether I am here or not, I have time to go back to my hometown to spend a few days with my mother. It happens to be the slack time in winter, so a few sisters can come
Take a look at home, I haven’t been there for several years.
How can a person live without his parents?
How can we not have biological sisters?
When I feel depressed, I want to have a drink with my friends. When I feel tired, I miss home. That is the warmest place.
After making this plan, the desire to go home became stronger, and my heart felt hot, thinking that it would be better to get home now.
When it fell on my head, the snowflakes on my face melted quickly, and I felt cool and comfortable. Looking at the sky, streets, and pedestrians that were completely covered in white, I felt inexplicably kind, and even a little moved.
My thoughts quickly returned to the dumpling restaurant. Before going home, I had to arrange my work as if I would no longer work here. The first was to train Hua Qing, Li Shuang, and the kitchen staff; the second was to pave the way for no longer working here.
He thought about it carefully.
Now that the dumpling restaurant has been opened, the business will not fluctuate greatly. If he does not open a branch, it will be the same whether he is there or not. Of course, it will be better if he is there. Everyone just looks at him as if he has a backbone, and his work is easy.
Come on.
In fact, this is also my shortcoming. I have not cultivated a successor who can stand alone. This is a management shortcoming. I am good when I am here, but I am a mess when I am not. The only advantage is that I can intimidate the boss and have a challenge.
Capital.
But this is definitely not conducive to development, it is not good for the hotel, and it is not good for the people under your management. People have been following you for several years, but they still have no chance to get ahead? So you have to make them powerful.
How awesome?
Go to exercise and practice. You will provide support behind the scenes, correct what is wrong, and praise what is right. Just a little bit will do. When they grow up completely, they will become great themselves.
Also, Lao Feng can no longer trust him if he can say these words. Now it seems that the conflict is concentrated on himself and has nothing to do with Hua Qing and Li Shuang. Withdrawing the dumpling restaurant and leaving it to them is a happy situation for everyone.
Li Shuang, Huaqing's wages are not low, and will increase soon according to the points system. They work very well here, and they will have no problem supporting their families.
Yanhua and Yanzi are very nice to everyone, and they get along like sisters. After they leave, they feel safe working here, and they can work in the long run, which is the most important thing.
The boss should arrange the younger ones well.
Also, if Yanhua and Yanzi want to open a branch, I will still help them.
But judging from the current situation, there is little hope. It is obvious that Lao Feng does not plan to open a branch and has already had differences with Yanzi, Yanhua and Lao Deng.
What can I say, it's easy to do business but hard to make friends.
If you lose money, you will fall apart. If you make money, everyone has their own agenda. This is the weakness of human nature.
