Not only did Toshio Okayama, Nakamura, and Takeshita from Ogawa Machinery come, but Masahi Tomita from Maeda also brought two people with him.

So far, the foreign personnel of the two joint venture companies have all been in place.

Ren Minglu, the manager of Ogawa Machinery, and Sun Yuanfei, the manager of Maeda Water Supply, have already arrived.

The two were talking to the foreign personnel, and Tang Xue was acting as an interpreter on the side.

Several people from Ogawa Machinery had dealt with Tomita Masahi and Li Hucheng when they were in the East, and they were already acquaintances.

"Saburo went out to play by himself, and Miss Tamako went to Europe. We don't need them to do anything, we start training tomorrow. ”

"Today I will arrange accommodation for you first, according to the Chinese tradition, the guests who come should be warmly entertained, so a welcome banquet will be held for you in the evening. ”

"I'll take you to your residence in a while, then go to the police station to register, and then go to the foreign affairs office in the ancient city to register. ”

"Take your luggage and go to your lodgings first. ”

On this occasion, in fact, Tamako Ogawa and Saburo Takahashi should be present.

However, these people probably knew the virtues of those two losers, and they didn't say anything, so they picked up the box and followed Li Hucheng, Ren Minglu, Sun Yafei, Ma Shaoyun, Tang Xue and others to the back.

The residence of these people is a row of houses vacated after the merchants of the first phase of the original specialty city moved out.

One room for each person, deliberately remodeled and renovated. Each accommodation has a bedroom and a small living room, equipped with furniture, a telephone and a television.

Wooden floors are installed on the floor, wallpaper is placed on the walls, there are bathrooms in each room, flush toilets and water heaters are installed.

At the end of the hallway, there is also an electric water boiler.

There is a kitchen and dining room at the other end, and a chef is hired to cook for the food. There is also a handyman who takes care of the cleaning.

Although the conditions are not as good as the hotel, they are here to work, not to enjoy, and this condition and treatment are actually very good.

The house is for nothing, and the food expenses are paid from the two companies, and the food fee is 15 yuan per person per day.

According to this standard of food expenses, the monthly food cost per person is 450 yuan, which is almost three times the salary of the cadres in Guanshan Township. Refer to the prices of Guanshan and the ancient city. In fact, the bar is already very high.

This was negotiated with Saburo Takahashi and Tamako Ogawa, and the two also looked at the rooms, and finally wrote the terms in the contract.

This is done in order to avoid disputes.

Masahi Tomita also participated in the talks at the beginning, and he was also clear about the terms and conditions of accommodation. Now that it's here, I didn't find anything wrong.

Each room is the same, a group of six people chose their own room, and they checked in smoothly. Putting down the luggage, Li Hucheng took them to the kitchen.

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is Chef Sun. He has formal training, is a national second-class chef, has a qualification certificate, can cook Chinese food, and can also cook some oriental food. ”

"Every Saturday night, he'll talk to you about the recipe for the following week. You can suggest changes to the recipe to your liking. If you disagree, it will be up to Master Sun to make the final decision, and no one will have any objections. ”

"Of course, if you are willing to do it yourself and want to cook your favorite food, you can also do it with Master Sun's permission. ”

At this point, Li Hucheng didn't expect these people to do it themselves.

Oriental men are a bit machismo, and many women work as stay-at-home wives, and men don't cook much in the kitchen.

I don't cook at home, and I probably don't go to the kitchen when I get here.

The so-called difficult to reconcile, it is easy to have problems when it comes to eating.

The reason why they have to be given this choice is to keep their mouths shut and not always be picky about food. If you don't like the food, make it yourself.

"The twenty-fifth day of each month is the settlement date for food expenses. A month's food affairs, the variety, quantity, price, value purchased, how much is consumed, and how much inventory is in stock, there will be a table summary, and after the settlement is completed, it will be posted in the corridor and announced to you. ”

"You can monitor whether you meet the required food standards based on the settlement. If you have any doubts, you can ask Master Sun and ask him to explain to you. ”

"If you think that the chef has deducted your food expenses, you can complain to Manager Ma. We will investigate and let you know the results. ”

After listening to Li Hucheng's words, Okayama, Tomita and others nodded their heads again and again in approval.

As important technical and managerial personnel, these people will live in Guanshan in the future, and whether the cooperation between the two sides is smooth or not is of great importance.

The problem of eating seems to be not big, but if you have to eat every day, if you don't get it right, there will be disputes and quarrels. If they are not satisfied with the food, they may even think that the chef has deducted their food expenses.

The procurement of food is responsible for the Sanjian canteen, and the chef is only responsible for processing and production. The process of separating procurement and processing is implemented.

The chef doesn't have a chance to deduct the cost, but he can't guarantee that he won't deduct the ingredients at all.

At this time, the best way to make the cost of food public and let the people who eat supervise it is the best way.

More importantly, a set of management systems has been established, and there is a set of standard processes for processing, which is very formal.

For the Orientals who are strict and disciplined, this is also in line with their values and habits.

In fact, the food is just a microcosm of the cooperation between the two sides.

The two sides have different values, different customs, different living habits, different living standards, language barriers, and poor communication.

Although the two sides have reached cooperation now, there may be many conflicts and contradictions in production and life in the future.

At this time, there must be a set of mechanisms to solve the problem.

That's why Li Hucheng spent so much effort on the issue of the canteen.

For this point, Yu Danning and Lu Tisha both thought that he was making a big fuss, thinking that the food standard of 15 yuan a day was not good, what to eat? Who would be picky?

This is the fault of empiricism, thinking only from one's own point of view.

In fact, it would be naïve to think only from an emotional and moral point of view, and to feel that you are doing things in good faith in exchange for the kindness of the other person.

Many times, good intentions don't necessarily come with good returns.

Not to mention the food cost of 15 yuan a day, even if it is 50 yuan a day, there may be problems if there is no effective mechanism and system to restrain it.

The food thing is still a small thing, and the cooperation in production in the future is a big thing.

Li Hucheng even predicted that in the future, in production, the two sides would often quarrel, and even fights were possible.

Cooperation is not a simple thing, and it takes a long time to run in before it can reach a smooth level.
