For the vast majority of Europeans and Americans, Christmas is the most important festival of the year, which is equivalent to the importance of the Spring Festival to the Chinese people.

Therefore, when there are still three days before Christmas, schools, enterprises and institutions have begun to take a holiday, and even some units that still need to work have already made arrangements for the holiday.

In addition to the important festival, Christmas is also the traditional peak shopping season in Europe and the United States, and all major shopping malls have put "off" or "sale" signs in prominent positions in stores, and citizens are also gearing up to buy them.

According to the estimates of some business weeklies, the retail sales of goods in major European and American countries during the Christmas season generally account for about a quarter of annual sales, which is a bellwether for the European and American economies.

The vigorous Christmas shopping season did not have much impact on the Xiao family, because they did not expect this discount to maintain their family's expenses, let alone go to the mall with ordinary citizens to rush to buy.

Of course, Xiao Feng and his wife still took time to take Nini and Yu'er around Wilcher Avenue and bought a lot of things, which was too addictive to shopping.

…………

December 19th is just an ordinary Friday, but for the employees who work in Fantasy Manor, it has a different meaning.

This is their first year working at Fantasy Manor, and Xiao Feng will give their employees a holiday on this day, and most of them can arrange their own vacations except for the necessary security guards.

Therefore, when Xiao Feng summoned all the staff to gather in the small cinema in the manor at three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was very excited with joy on their faces.

At present, the employees working at Neverland are mainly divided into several large groups, and the total number of people has reached a staggering 300, which is already the size of a small business.

Liu Yi, who retired from the Huaxia Security Bureau, headed the manor's security department. Retired special forces from Huaxia, the United States, Rakshasa and other countries were recruited to provide all-round security for the manor and the members of the Xiao family. This part of the staff has a large number of 54 people because they need to work in three shifts 24 hours a day.

Of course, the salaries of these GIs are not low, nearly $500,000 a month. It's not something that the average rich can afford.

In addition, Xiao Feng also provided these security personnel with equipment such as bulletproof audis, helicopters, automatic weapons, etc., and the investment in this area also exceeded 10 million US dollars!

In the United States, because of the proliferation of guns and the potential for terror, terror, attacks, and other factors, the ultra-rich attach great importance to security and are willing to spend a lot of money to ensure safety.

For the super-rich, problems that can be solved with money are not a problem!

Taking the Xiao family as an example, about 20 million RMB is allocated from the family foundation every year for security work. Round-the-clock protection for important family members.

Taking Xiao Xiao Xiao, who is alone, as an example, when she was busy developing the 'Mengyao Coffee' industry in China, two female special forces protected her 24 hours a day, and strived to be foolproof!

At the same time, including Xiao Tao, Yang Hao, Xiao Qiang and others, as long as they leave the group headquarters, they will also be accompanied by corresponding security personnel.

As for 'Ginkgo Village', safety is not an issue!

Because of the 'Jinghu Sanatorium', the Huaxia Security Bureau has a squadron stationed in 'Ginkgo Village'. There is even a transport helicopter and helicopter gunship on standby at 'Ginkgo Airport' at all times.

In a sense, Ginkgo Village is one of the safest places in the world!

Mark William as Xiao Feng's butler. He led a large number of employees, including gardeners, cooks, drivers, handymen, and assistants, and their presence was mainly to provide a full range of life services for the Xiao family.

The number of employees in this part has reached 20, but their salaries are relatively low, and Xiao Feng only needs to pay about $50,000 a month for this. Of course, Mark William's $300,000 annual salary is not among them, and the salary of a top butler has always been expensive.

'Dream Winery' is Xiao Feng's key project for the next three years. Therefore, he specially mobilized elite soldiers from China, and hired some grassroots employees from Los Angeles to form the main body of the winery. The 'Dream Winery' led by Xiao Li currently has 20 permanent employees, which is naturally more than enough to take care of 100 acres of wine grapes. (The previous article is a bit wrong, and the area of the winery is written as 1,000 acres.) But it doesn't affect the reading, and it will be positive in the future!)

In the future, when it is time to harvest and brew, there will be no problem in recruiting temporary workers or transferring people from within the group to help.

The salaries of the winery's employees are paid through the winery's account, and will not be paid directly from Xiao Feng's private account like the security personnel and service personnel, which is also one of the traditions of the Xiao family, with a clear distinction between public and private!

At present, due to the increasing number of personal affairs and corporate account transactions, the professional accountants and lawyers who work with Xiao Feng have a large team, and they are managed by Xiao Feng's Ma Xiaotian.

At present, the largest proportion of employees working at 'Dream Manor' are the staff of the flagship store of 'Dream Restaurant', with a total of more than 200 people!

In order to present Chinese cuisine and various top ingredients of 'Jinghu Group' to the world in the City of Angels, after the delivery of 'Dream Manor', Xing Wenjun has led a huge team to enter 'Dream Manor'.

In addition to adjusting and decorating the main building and annex building of the manor to meet the operational requirements of the restaurant, various advanced kitchenware and luxury tableware have also been delivered to the 'Dream Manor' from all over the world.

Taking the dining table as an example, the rare white stone from the mountains of northern Italy was widely used in statues of human figures as early as the Renaissance, such as Michelangelo, Rodin and other masters. The dining table made of these white marbles, after seeing the careful polishing and carving, is undoubtedly the best dining table in the world.

In addition, rare wood from Tianzhu, Southeast Asia and other places is also specially processed in the processing plant to ensure that customers can enjoy the best experience during the meal.

All in all, the entire 'Dream Restaurant' is as luxurious as possible from the decoration of the dining environment, the dining table, the tableware, the tableware, and even the napkins used.

After all, the main potential consumers of the future 'dream restaurant' are celebrities, politicians, celebrities, and high-ranking officials from all over the world. For these people, money is not an issue, as long as enjoyment is in place!

At the same time, Xing Wenjun is also under the instruction of Xiao Feng, waving checks to hire top chefs all over the world, from the eight major Chinese cuisines, Chinese pastry masters to Western food masters and Western pastry masters, constantly enriching the kitchen and heritage of the 'Dream Restaurant'!

The success of the 'Dream Restaurant' main store has also made it quite famous in the industry. Nowadays, a relatively considerable salary is offered, and there is naturally an endless stream of applicants.

After nearly half a year of intense preparations, all the preparations for the flagship store of 'Dream Restaurant' have been prepared and are waiting for the opening on New Year's Day.

This Christmas, in order to reward these hard-working restaurant employees, Xiao Feng also decided to give everyone a 10-day holiday, and wait until the 29th to return to the restaurant to prepare for the opening.

Therefore, the employees who received the notice to come to the entertainment center were in a good mood and met old friends. It's all about getting together to chat and talk about vacation plans.

"Lao Xing, how do you arrange this holiday?" Xiao Li and Xing Wenjun knew each other when they were in 'Ginkgo Village', and now they are even more familiar.

Although Xiao Li is Xiao Feng's cousin, and he comes forward to take charge of the important industry of 'Xiao Clan's Winery', he will not put on a stand of the Xiao clan in front of Xing Wenjun.

You must know that Xing Wenjun was Xiao Feng's legal assistant when he was in China, and he was also Xiao Feng's right-hand man after coming to the United States. The booming business of the 'Dream Restaurant' highlights his abilities.

In the six months since the opening of the main store, the restaurant has welcomed an astonishing 200,000 customers. Achieved revenue of 100 million US dollars, setting a small record!

Xiao Li knew that before the 'Dream Winery' had made achievements, his status in the 'Jinghu Group' was much lower than that of Xing Wenjun.

"Fly to China during the holidays!" Xing Wenjun didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "The children are about to forget me, I have to go back and see." The restaurant is open for business during the Spring Festival, and you can't get out!

Xing Wenjun is 33 this year, and it has been almost six years since Xiao Feng followed, and his son Xing Bin is only two months older than Yu'er, but because of Xing Wenjun's work. Always gather less and leave more.

Xing Wenjun has decided to bring his wife and son to Los Angeles next summer, and the family of three will settle here in the future. With his current annual salary of $600,000 a year and various bonuses and subsidies, he can live a comfortable and comfortable life in Los Angeles.

"Drive along Coastal Highway No. 1 with a few guys from the winery to San Francisco, there are a lot of fellow villagers and acquaintances there, everyone get together!" Xiao Li frowned at the mention of this, and he was so happy that he couldn't help it.

In the United States, car culture is a deeply rooted concept, driving a car is a common thing to do, and now Xiao Li also has the opportunity to try it, so he is naturally looking forward to it.

Although Christmas is not a festival for Chinese people, the clansmen and villagers from Ginkgo Village can take advantage of this holiday to get together and have a few drinks!

Just when the two were chatting, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao entered the cinema, and everyone's applause immediately rang out, expressing a warm welcome to the boss and the boss.

At the beginning, Lao Mei was not very suitable for this kind of corporate culture with a strong Chinese color, but as time went by, Lao Mei was not inferior to the sycophants!

Sometimes I have to sigh that Franklin is really a king, an egg, and can make people change their position in minutes!

"Thank you very much for your hard work in the past six months!" Xiao Feng's opening remarks were quite concise, saying: "Before the Christmas holiday, I will give you the 2014 year-end bonus, I hope you will have a happy holiday and recharge for the next stage of work!"

The enthusiasm of the employees almost tore off the roof of the movie theater, and everyone was so happy that they received bonuses!

Lao Mei does not have the habit of handing out cash, so whether it is bonuses or salaries, they are distributed to employees by accountants through bank accounts.

Because the 'Dream Manor' is not profitable yet, the amount of the year-end bonus is not very large, that is, two months' monthly salary, but this still makes the grassroots employees quite happy.

You must know that the salary of 'Jinghu Group' is not low, and in the context of this general economic environment, there are very few companies that can issue a two-month salary and year-end bonus.

"In addition to the security personnel on duty in the manor, all employees can freely arrange 10 holidays, and they can return to the manor on the 29th to report for duty!"

The meeting before this holiday was not long, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao were not long-winded people, and the manor was still in its infancy for half a year, so there was no way to talk about things like commending the advanced. The reason why Xiao Feng wanted to hold such a staff meeting was nothing more than to let the tradition of 'Jinghu Group' be continued in the United States, and the corporate culture would be branded into the bones of every employee.

In less than an hour, the first staff meeting of "Dream Manor" ended, and the employees quickly dispersed after congratulating and saying goodbye to each other!

Some employees, like Xing Wenjun, who were going back to China to visit relatives, hurriedly asked the driver to take them to the airport, where they would take the flight back to China this evening. As for the return ticket, executives like Xing Wenjun are reimbursed in business class, and ordinary employees are only treated in economy class.

Chinese employees working in the United States have the opportunity to return to China once a year to visit relatives, and the group will reimburse the round-trip air tickets.

As for those local employees in the United States, they couldn't wait to drive their cars away from the manor and go straight to major shopping malls and supermarkets to buy frantically, which is similar to the reason that Chinese people buy New Year's goods.

Xiao Li and several other employees who plan to drive to San Francisco's 'Miracle Farm' are also inspecting their vehicles and preparing various materials and documents for travel, which is also in an orderly manner!

As for Xiao Feng's family, they are also packing up and preparing to go to the 'Dream Ranch' for Christmas, and there is no snow here in Los Angeles, so there is no festive atmosphere at all.

Xiao Feng had already given the service staff a holiday, and even the housekeeper William was driven back by him to accompany his family, so Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao had to do many things themselves.

However, neither of them is an imbecile, although they are usually served, but they themselves will not drop the chain at critical moments.

Early the next morning, Liu Yi and the remaining security personnel drove Xiao Feng's family to a small airport in the suburbs of Los Angeles, where the Nini and the crew were already waiting.

After saying goodbye to Liu Yi, Xiao Feng's family flew into the blue sky and went to the 'Dream Ranch' for a vacation! (To be continued......
