【Chapter 765】 The Beginning of Dreams (Ask for Subscription!) )
Zhang Qian's name is ordinary, there are not 10,000 girls with this name in the whole of Huaxia, but at least 8,000, such a name really can't attract the attention of others.
Zhang Qian, who came from an ordinary background, usually wears dirt stalls, combs two big braids, and wears a thick black-framed glasses, looking no different from the village girl in the eighties and nineties.
Zhang Qian, who is from the mountainous area of Qiannan, knows that her family is in difficulty, in addition to supporting herself to go to college, she also has a younger brother with excellent grades who will take the college entrance examination next year, so she will naturally take the initiative to help the family share the burden.
After entering Haizhou Foreign Chinese College, Zhang Qian went out to tutor most of her spare time in addition to completing her schoolwork and group activities. Fortunately, her English foundation is very good, her teaching is patient, and she has caught a few old customers and studied for four years in college.
Otherwise, based on the per capita income in the mountainous area of southern Qiannan, it would not be easy for Zhang Qian, who has a poor family, to live in a high-consumption city like Haizhou for four years.
Approaching graduation, it was a crossroads in Zhang Qian's life, and two choices were placed in front of her, making her hesitate.
When you return to your hometown in Qiannan and apply for the local civil service examination, you can take care of your parents and family nearby, but you may also spend your life in peace; If you stay in Haizhou as a 'sea drifter', you may soar into the sky, or you may do nothing and be scarred!
Until mid-June, Zhang Qiandu hadn't made up her mind yet, and she just followed her classmates to submit resumes at various job fairs, but she kept falling into the sea.
You must know that Haizhou is not only one of the cities with the highest concentration of colleges and universities in the country, but also attracts outstanding college students from all over the country because of its strong urban charm and economic development vitality. Every year during the graduation season, Haizhou is occupied by a large number of fresh graduates, who want to survive in this bizarre metropolis.
Zhang Qian is good in addition to spoken English. Japanese can also meet the needs of daily communication, but there is no other strength, and her image is too ordinary, which is often ignored by the interviewer.
In recent years, better employers are looking at the top, staring at master's and doctoral degrees and even returnee elites. For students of the average undergraduate, it is basically ignored.
Of course, Zhang Qian is also hesitant about those units that are too poor, after all, most of these companies give very low salaries and long working hours, so there is really not much room for development.
Just when Zhang Qian was a little desperate and was already preparing to pack up and plan to go back to her hometown in Qiannan to have a look, she received an interview notice from 'Mengyao Coffee', a subsidiary of 'Jinghu Group'.
Zhang Qian is no stranger to 'Jinghu Group'. Because in the past two years, she has received a first-class scholarship from the 'Ginkgo Foundation' every year, 10,000 yuan per year, which has greatly alleviated the financial situation of Zhang Qian's family.
'Mengyao Coffee' Zhang Qian has heard that it is a top-notch coffee produced by 'Jinghu Group', which sells for 2000 RMB per kilogram, which Zhang Qian usually can't imagine.
A few days ago, Zhang Qian saw the staff of 'Jinghu Group' setting up a booth at the job fair to collect resumes, and she voted for one with the intention of giving it a try. I actually got an interview notice.
Although Zhang Qian usually walks between school and tutoring students, she is not a nerd who doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window. Naturally, I know that the salary package of 'Jinghu Group' is quite good.
It's just that Zhang Qian has been entangled in struggling in Haizhou or returning to her hometown to take the civil service exam, and she didn't think of joining the 'Jinghu Group' at all. If it weren't for the fact that she happened to see the logo of 'Jinghu Group' at the recruitment site that day, Zhang Qian would have missed it.
The next experience made Zhang Qian feel a little dreamy, and she interviewed for one or two rounds, and finally Xiao Xiao, the CEO of the same age as her, made the decision to hire Zhang Qian.
And that's not all. Xiao Xiao, who positioned Zhang Qian as an assistant, first took Zhang Qian to transform her image, discarding the ugly and clumsy black-framed glasses and replacing them with contact lenses; The big braid was slightly scalded, and then dyed a little maroon, and the whole person suddenly became angry.
Next. Xiao Xiao also privately paid for Zhang Qian to buy a few sets of medium-priced professional suits and high heels, which immediately turned Zhang Qian's sparrow into a phoenix at the end of the day!
Zhang Qian is naturally a little at a loss for the boss's love, after all, she has just entered the company and has not made any contributions.
If it is replaced by a male boss, I am afraid that Zhang Qian will be frightened and run away; As for Xiao Xiao, she shouldn't be Lala, after all, she has a handsome and handsome mixed-race boyfriend.
In Xiao Xiao's words, Zhang Qian will be an important figure in 'Mengyao Coffee' in the future, and her image represents the corporate image, and she must not be sloppy at all!
Thinking about it, Zhang Qian also accepted Xiao Xiao's arrangement, which also made her work hard after the establishment of the company and employee training, and soon won the support of her colleagues.
In fact, Zhang Qian didn't know that the list of people who won the first-class scholarship of the 'Ginkgo Foundation' across the country was in the hands of the senior management of the 'Jinghu Group', and once they put their resumes into the recruitment system of the 'Jinghu Group', they would always be taken seriously.
After a detailed investigation of Zhang Qian, 'Jinghu Group' made an A-level qualification assessment, believing that if Zhang Qian is trained, she may become an outstanding talent in her own right. Otherwise, how can there be a fresh graduate who has just entered the company and will serve as an assistant to Xiao Xiao.
With the continuous expansion of 'Jinghu Group', the construction of the talent resource pool is also in full swing, after all, the development of the group needs the support of a large number of talents. Compared with large state-owned enterprises and established private enterprises, the newly rising 'Jinghu Group' is not very attractive to outstanding talents, except for the slightly better employment environment and salary package.
The reason why the 'Ginkgo Foundation' launched a nationwide grant and scholarship program is nothing more than planting a seed in the hearts of some outstanding students and patiently waiting for the time to sprout.
Zhang Qian is the first outstanding graduate to be included in the 'Jinghu Group', but she will not be the last!
…………
In July, Zhang Qian was busy with the company's decoration, store layout and staff training, all of which were completed in just one month.
As Xiao Xiao's assistant, Zhang Qian is also the first time to come into contact with such a tricky job, but fortunately, she has a stubborn personality and has good endurance and acceptance, and quickly adapted to this busy life.
The longer she worked at Mengyao Coffee, the more Zhang Qian felt that this was a promising company, which could be seen from its impeccable requirements for every detail.
Of course, the wealth is also an important reason!
Taking the 'Mengyao Coffee' flagship store as an example, all the furnishings are the world's top products, especially those tableware, and the price is even more staggering!
Hermès's top-of-the-line cutlery, a set of coffee cutlery is $300, which has to sell at least 20 cups to recoup the cost.
In addition to the world-famous brands used in furniture, furnishings, electrical appliances and tableware, all the waiters' clothes are hand-made by old tailors in Haizhou, which is much more expensive than the medium brands on the market.
In Xiao Xiao's words, the people who can come to the 'Mengyao Coffee' flagship store to drink coffee are all high-income people with a lot of money and high taste.
As the assistant to Xiao Xiao, the executive president of 'Mengyao Coffee', and the first manager of the flagship store, Zhang Qian, through the company's internal financial report, found that the group had invested nearly 200 million RMB in the flagship store alone.
The 1,400-square-meter store area of the flagship store is discounted by 140 million, plus decoration, equipment purchase and staff training, etc., and when it opens, a full 200 million yuan will be thrown out!
With a net profit of 100RMB for a cup of 'Mengyao Coffee', it is very short, and the flagship store must sell at least 2 million cups of coffee to recover the cost, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Zhang Qian.
After all, judging from Zhang Qian's life experience, no one would be willing to spend 188RMB here to drink coffee, unless he has a fever with too much money!
However, the grand opening of 'Mengyao Coffee' surprised Zhang Qian, and countless entertainment celebrities and super-rich people appeared in 'Mengyao Coffee' to talk cordially with Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiao's family.
At this time, Zhang Qian realized that the Xiao family was the richest family in China, and its connections and courage were not something that a little girl in the mountains could understand.
The popularity of the next 'Mengyao Coffee' has completely exceeded Zhang Qian's imagination, from opening at 10 o'clock in the morning to closing at 2 o'clock in the morning, the flagship store is basically crowded, and during the peak period, there is even a legendary thing like a number plate!
In the hearts of consumers, it is actually very easy to guess that the more rare things they want, the more they want to get, 'Mengyao Coffee' is so popular that they can't taste it, it's really faceless.
At this time, delicacy has retreated to second place, and it is more of a psychological need.
However, when the delicious taste of 'Mengyao Coffee' conquered these consumers, it in turn prompted customers to positively promote 'Mengyao Coffee', forming a virtuous circle!
Zhang Qian also did not expect that she was photographed by some reporters at the opening ceremony and posted on the Internet and newspapers as news materials, which aroused all kinds of suspicions among her classmates.
People who are familiar with Zhang Qian didn't expect that Zhang Qian, who originally looked dirty, turned into an ugly duckling and turned into a white swan, standing between a group of dignitaries and nobles, which is really incomprehensible.
For a while, the rumor that Zhang Qian was taken care of by the rich after graduation began to circulate in the circle of classmates, and even some good people even called Zhang Qian's home, lest the world be chaotic!
For the conservative and traditional Qiannan Mountains, Zhang Qian's possible behavior was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, which suddenly plunged the entire Zhang family into a burst of despair.
Zhang's father, Zhang's mother and Zhang Qian's younger brother Zhang Lan didn't inform Zhang Qian, so they took the train from Qiannan to Haizhou, wanting to pull Zhang Qian home!
The ridiculous thing happened! (To be continued......) R1292
