Chapter 0042 - Vacation
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population grew greatly, not just because of the phrase "there is strength in numbers." slogan. It's also really related to this year's boring nightlife.
In a year where there is no TV, night market, and no other entertainment venues except for movie theaters, at night, the conditions are good, a little bourgeoisie, or make an appointment with the person you like, watch a movie, or have a bedtime romantic park date.
Occasionally, you can see a few young men and women getting together somewhere in the park, playing pop music such as Teresa Teng, bouncing around. Let Zheng Zhishang also understand a little, why in the 21st century in his previous life, so many aunts liked square dance.
Thirty years after these little Chinese New Year's Eve, they will not be at the age of square dancing.
Most people still choose to wash and go to bed early. As the saying goes, people who are full of warmth and lust and energetic toss vigorously until they are tired and fall asleep. And the lonely men and women, lonely sleepless, tossing and turning, thinking about finding a companion as soon as possible, warming the bed to chat, and starting to think about lifelong events at a young age.
Zheng Zhishang admits that he is evil, but in this era, the nightlife can basically be said to be none, don't think about it, even a lot of entertainment activities or something, it is really pitiful.
Originally, tonight, Zheng Zhishang thought that at least it wouldn't be so early, so he lay down on the bed before nine o'clock and coaxed the little girl Lin Yu to sleep. At least after nine o'clock before going to bed.
Helplessly, Aunt Wu and Wu Yajuan's mother and daughter, this guest, started talking and nagging with Grandma Huang, and seemed to have forgotten that Grandma Huang, Zheng Zhishang, and the little girl Lin Yu were going out. As the host, Zheng Zhishang, the guest has no intention of leaving, and it is not easy to catch up.
I had to laugh and talk all the time, and cope.
finally sent the mother and daughter away, but it was already past eight o'clock. At this point, it will be a little late to go to the neighbor's house. I still don't know if Grandma Wang, Second Master Hong, and Third Master Chen are asleep at home? In the end, I had to give up.
After washing up early, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, Grandma Huang said, "Star, today is a holiday, come back early." Under the advice of concern, Zheng Zhishang took the little girl Lin Yu out together.
Zheng Zhishang took Lin Yu first, and went to an old fast food restaurant to check the work of everyone in the store.
Although Zheng Zhishang was just passing by and stopped by to check, from the store manager Yu Mei to the ordinary employees, they were all worried and nervous.
It's not because this is the first time Zheng Zhishang has come to inspect the work, but because the old store is because whether Zheng Zhishang goes to the new store or goes to Grandma Zhong's house to take classes, he can pass by. Therefore, when problems are found, criticism is also the most.
Even several times, the store manager Yu Mei and the deputy store manager Chen Degui were selflessly deducted a bonus by Zheng Zhishang in accordance with the rules and regulations of the store because of inadequate management, which made the two lose a little. What's more, the nine people who first followed Zheng Zhishang have now become management.
Only the two were always criticized by Zheng Zhishang, but they became the most unbearable of the nine, which also made the two of them very uncomfortable. even put a lot of thought into it, and learned from Wang Yimei, Chen Xiaonan, and Hong Aiyue. Even the manager of the new store, Wang Ximei, and the deputy manager Sammo Hung, learned from Yu Mei and Chen Degui.
Keep improving your abilities. Even though all employees are trained, there are still people who make mistakes when they end up on the job. For those who refused to change their ways, they were all dismissed in the end.
So far, not only three new employees have been fired, but even one old employee has been dismissed.
Although these people, after leaving a family, quickly found a job in other snack bars, restaurants or something, but that treatment naturally cannot be compared with a fast food. People are comparative, the same job, the quality of treatment, is the most important factor that determines the retention of employees.
This also makes the employees in the store dare not ignore the rules and regulations of the store and strictly abide by them, so as not to violate the rules and regulations of the store, be fired, fined bonuses or something.
What scared Yu Mei and others even more was not only Zheng Zhishang's daily inspection, but even Wang Qimei, Hong Aiyue, and Chen Xiaonan often came to the store to inspect their work.
This is also Zheng Zhishang's request, the office should regularly and irregularly go to the following stores to inspect the work, not only the financial inspection of each point, but also all the work of each point to find problems in time and solve them.
After all, a fast food now, although a fast food now has only two branches, Zheng Zhishang still hopes that there are some things that can set a tone in the early stage of entrepreneurship, before any bad habits are generated, so as not to be at a loss for problems in the future.
It is precisely because of this strictness that a fast food can quickly get on the right track after a short period of management chaos.
Looking at Yu Mei's worries, Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but smile helplessly, and said: "Sister Yu Mei, today is the Midyear Festival, and Sister Yu will send the gifts to the employees this time, have you notified the employees who are resting in shifts?" ”
Yu Mei was not only relieved when she saw that Zheng Zhishang was just asking about the festival, but nodded with a smile: "Well, it has been notified, I told them last night, and I will come to collect it in person in the afternoon, and I will sign it." ”
"Well, by the way, how many of the employees in the store are not ready to go home to the country, have you registered?"
Yu Mei was slightly embarrassed, and said: "Xingxing, only five of them have come to register and can't go back, and there are still a few to consider, and the others are ready to go home for the New Year." ”
"Hmm...... Well, hand in the list to the office by noon. My sisters and sisters arranged the left-behind employees to celebrate the holiday at night. Zheng Zhishang explained Yu Mei, and left with the little girl Lin Yu.
The Midyear Festival, that is, the 15th of July, is after all a traditional festival of the Chinese people, and during this period, although there is no provision for traditional festivals, there must be a holiday or something. However, considering that the employees in the store are all locals of Xiamen, and the locals are religious and worship ghosts and gods. This traditional festival is very important.
After the discussion of Zheng Zhishang, Wang Qimei, Chen Xiaonan, Hong Aiyue, Yu Mei, Wang Ximei, Sammo Hung, Chen Degui and others, it was decided to give employees a holiday, and at the same time, Zheng Zhishang also distributed holiday gifts in accordance with the practice of some public institutions in his previous life.
I also prepare some holiday gifts of meat, fruit or something for every employee.
Let those employees who are going home for the New Year happily go home and have a holiday with their families. As for those employees who don't want to go home, after registering and counting, depending on the situation, the store will arrange it uniformly, and everyone will have a lively holiday in the store.
This can be regarded as some small means for Zheng Zhishang to envelop employees, after all, a family is developing too fast, except for Wang Qimei, Chen Xiaonan, Hong Aiyue and other earliest employees, many new employees do not have any belonging to the store, but just come for the high salary and excellent treatment in the store.
In this case, as long as someone offers a higher salary and treatment, these employees can easily change jobs. As a small businessman, I naturally don't want my carefully trained employees to change jobs in the future and become a help for my competitors. It is also necessary to take some necessary means of entrapment.
At least for now, the effect is still there, so that many new employees have a sense of belonging to the family. What's more, when these people return home, it is a good kind of propaganda in itself.
After listening to the financial and work reports of Wang Qimei, Chen Xiaonan, and Hong Aiyue during this time.
Zheng Zhishang pondered for a while, looked up at the three of them, and said: "According to the reaction of other snack bars, many things in our store, they are also starting to imitate, although the taste is not as good as ours, but these snacks, barbecue and other methods are also very simple, as long as they try a few more times, they can completely master it." ”
Wang Qimei, Chen Xiaonan, and Hong Aiyue are also in charge of the marketing department, so they also have some understanding of the changes in some snack bars in the market.
Let's talk about Zhongshan Road, these snack bars nearby, since last week, there have been three have been closed for rectification, almost all of the snack bars, either openly or covertly to a fast food inspection, steal some snacks in the store, barbecue practices.
In particular, the excellent juice, fried chicken thighs, fries, and fried chicken wings sold by a family are even more effortless. There are even a few restaurants that have been able to make it after watching and tasting it.
Zheng Zhishang can't avoid this situation, after all, there are some things that have really low technical content, as long as the seasoning is appropriate, the heat is well controlled, and the time to vent carefully to ponder, you can get it out, and even develop and innovate on the basis of the reason.
As far as Zheng Zhishang knows, fried chicken thighs and chicken wings have several different flavors in KFC, and now the two flavors of spicy and crispy are made by the family, as for the other flavors, they are still trying, and they are not mature and can be served on the table.
As for the juice, it is affected by technology, flavoring, and formula, and what can be made today is still very simple. After all, a fast food is not a factory specializing in beverage processing, and it is impossible for one to have a lot of money like Wahaha and Master Kong in the previous life, carry out product research and development, and make more than a dozen or twenty kinds of fruit juice drink products.
"I will ask all store managers to pay attention to it in the future and strengthen the management of the kitchen." Wang Qimei pondered for a while and said:
Zheng Zhishang smiled and said: "The kitchen is to strengthen management, which is just an auxiliary, and the most important thing is our own product research and development, innovation and development." Therefore, the preparation and establishment of the product research and development department is also necessary. Sister Xiaonan and Sister Aiyue are mainly responsible for this, and Sister Aiyue will assist the two of you financially. ”
"Well, it's a good ......" Hearing Zheng Zhishang's words, Chen Xiaonan and Hong Aiyue were also a little excited in their hearts.
Although the office has long had a product research and development department, there have always been only two people, and since the establishment of this part, it has only been a few things to coordinate the kitchen, and it has not played much role. On the contrary, the two of them do more work in the marketing department.
Wang Qimei hesitated slightly, and said: "Xingxing, if the product research and development department is set up, Xiaonan and Aiyue will not be able to help me take charge of the marketing department together, and I will not be busy alone." ”
"Xingxing, in fact, under the current policy conditions, it is impossible for us to open a second branch, can the marketing department be able to let it go now......" Chen Xiaonan said hesitantly:
Listening to Wang Qimei's words, Zheng Zhishang was also slightly stunned, but there are still too few people in the office, although the marketing department is not much use today, when this department was established, the main thing was to cultivate marketing planning talents for the future.
After hesitating for a while, he shook his head and said: "Although we can't open a second branch under the current policy conditions, the marketing department is not only responsible for opening a branch marketing plan, but also responsible for market research and analysis. And I always feel that it won't be long before the state relaxes restrictions in this regard. ”
"Well, marketing and product development, these two departments. Sister Xiaonan, Sister Xiaonan, Sister Aiyue, the three of you discussed and came up with a charter, we are studying it carefully, first set up the shelf of the marketing department, and prepare the product research and development department, these two things are not in a hurry to complete, and we must be fully prepared. ”
"Hmm" When the three of them saw Zheng Zhishang say this, they also bowed their heads together.
"And the store below has already sent a list of left-behind employees, I looked at it, there are a few more than I expected, fifteen people are not going home for the holidays. Do you have any good ideas? Looking at the three of them, Zheng Zhishang asked again:
Wang Qimei pondered for a while and said, "Otherwise, the two stores, let one continue to operate this evening, and let the employees who stayed behind all go to the old store." ”
Zheng Zhishang waved his hand and said, "This is not good, I said that everyone will have a holiday, and let the people who stay behind work overtime, and there will be no employees to stay in the store for the holiday in the future." ”
"In fact, we can give some subsidies, of course, if you don't want to go to work, you don't have to be reluctant, it's voluntary." Chen Xiaonan said again:
Hong Aiyue hesitated for a while, and pondered: "This is a bit more than worth the loss, today's holiday, everyone will not eat out, and after eating, no one will walk around the street, there are no customers in the business, and there is an additional subsidy." ”
Zheng Zhishang looked at the three of them, frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "The old store will continue to be open tonight, and the employees who are willing to go to work will work overtime at double pay tonight, and the employees who are not willing to go to work will let them arrive at the store on time when they eat in the evening." In addition, the management who stayed behind to work overtime tonight was also calculated as triple the overtime pay. In the future, when it comes to festivals or something, let's do it like this. ”
Zheng Zhishang said that between the three people, he didn't say anything.
Because some employees stayed behind tonight and did not go home for the holiday, it was natural that the management needed to stay and organize. Originally, Zheng Zhishang wanted to spend a holiday with these left-behind employees. It's just that I think about Grandma Huang and making sacrifices to my father and grandmother.
Finally, I asked Wang Qimei, Chen Xiaonan, Hong Aiyue and the wishes of the four store managers and deputy store managers. In the end, Wang Yimei and Sammo Hung took the initiative to stay, giving up the opportunity to go home for the holiday.
