Early the next morning, Lu Yuxin's second brother drove a car and took Lingling and me to the Crystal Palace.

Originally, I meant to let the couple sit in the front and sit in the back seat by themselves, but seeing Lingling's meaning, I really wanted to sit in the back with me, not to mention anything else, I was afraid that she would move her hands and feet in the back and be embarrassed by her husband, so I simply walked to the co-pilot's seat and sat down, and Lingling had to sit in the back boringly.

After coming to the hotel, I asked Lingling to call the professional manager over and tell him what I meant, and he was slightly stunned after hearing it.

"Mr. Zhang, I think your idea is tantamount to reducing the taste of the Crystal Palace, our goal has always been the city's high-end customers, you now have to take the road of mass catering, while the taste is reduced, it may not be able to usher in the market."

I explained: "Looking at the various incomes of the Crystal Palace in the past few years, we mainly played the marginal ball of the policy, and the income from entertainment projects is very large, but the catering has not been good, although our consumption of a private room can sometimes be worth the wedding banquet and the college banquet of other people's ten tables, but those are many debts, and we have to send people to ask for accounts at the end of each year, and some accounts have not been collected for three or five years." The reason why I engage in popular catering is to not owe any debts, and the profit can be less, but the funds can be returned quickly. ”

Of course, there are two other reasons I didn't say, one is that I may have to go abroad at any time; The second is that I have already become the target of national security surveillance, if I continue to do business in administrative enterprises and institutions, in case there is a disturbance, don't do anything about the national security side, the police will come to the door again, and if I get a procuratorate or something, I will be the rhythm of death.

It can be seen that this middle-aged manager has a wealth of experience, if it weren't for my high position, he wouldn't have put me in his eyes at all, although when we met, he kept a professional smile on me, but he didn't like to see him, I guess it was a matter of time before he resigned.

Sure enough, he said to me without humility or arrogance: "Mr. Zhang, the phenomenon you said is a common problem faced by all high-end customers, but fortunately, there are many service projects in our Crystal Palace, although the catering is not profitable, but it constitutes an organic service chain." I don't know if you have ever thought that once the taste of our catering has dropped, it may affect other items, such as bathing, massage, and hotel accommodation, because the popular catering will cause a mixed flow of people in and out, thus restricting the emergence of those high-end customers. ”

I really didn't think about these problems he said, but I couldn't tell him the problems I was afraid of, and I could only use high-pressure means when I couldn't convince him.

"I know what you mean, but don't forget one thing, the reason why the chairman invited you to come over is because you are a master in the catering industry, and your task should be how to do a good job in the hotel, and you can't shirk the responsibility for your poor management because our hotel is a supporting part of other projects."

He was stunned for a moment, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Mr. Zhang, the chairman invited me to come and gave me the target to try to maintain the status quo. ”

"The problem is that I need to change now."

"I don't have a problem with Zhang always changing for the better, but I don't think it's appropriate to covet some immediate benefits at the expense of lowering the overall taste of Crystal Palace. I think Mr. Zhang should also know very well that in any place in the city, as long as we talk about our Crystal Palace, people will give us a thumbs up. ”

I smiled: "It's like a person in a designer suit who doesn't have a penny in his pocket, and a person who carries a snakeskin bag on his back and has a bag full of money, do you think I want to be a person who wears a designer and gets a thumbs up behind his back and has empty pockets, or does he want to be a person who doesn't know what to do with his money?" ”

He was stunned for a moment again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, to be honest with you, I have been doing public catering all my life, and I am also very famous in this city, and many hotels have high prices. If Mr. Zhang insisted on taking the path of mass catering, then I would have to resign. ”

"No problem." I said decisively: "I can understand you, you have only two choices for strategies that are different from your own philosophy, either obey or leave. If you do choose to leave, I don't make it difficult for you. ”

He looked at me stunned for a while, probably not expecting that I was so bold at such a young age, and I didn't even have the intention of keeping him.

In addition, because I am too young, I am afraid that in his heart, he still thinks that I will rely on him, and seeing that I am confident, in addition to my strategy being different from his philosophy, I am afraid that there is also an element waiting to see my jokes. ”

After a long while, he said, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, when do you think I will make a handover with you?" ”

"No, you can just hand over to Lingling, I only care about the business strategy, regardless of the specific affairs."

"Okay." He hesitated for a moment, and then proposed: "Then do I leave at the end of the month, or do I ......?"

"You can leave after the handover. Of course, the salary is paid until the end of the month, and in addition, all the promises made by the chairman to you in the past, such as bonuses and commissions, will be given to you in a lot of money. ”

He was a little unwilling, but he had nothing to say, so he had to let out a long sigh and said to Lingling instead: "Vice President Lingling, let's go to the office to handle the handover, right?" ”

Lingling glanced at me, I nodded at her, and they immediately went to the office to handle the handover.

Looking at their backs, Lu Yuxin's second brother said to me: "Brother-in-law, I think you are too rushed, you ......"

"Why do you call it brother-in-law again? Didn't you say okay, it's called my country building outside? ”

"Oh, then I'll change my name to Mr. Zhang in the future. Mr. Zhang, maybe you have this kind of character, but after all, you are too young, for these older subordinates, I think you should be low-key. ”

"What, you think I'm too unkind?"

"No, how can you say that? The people in the business field are very sleek, let's just talk about the Li Mantian in the past, don't look at his extensive connections in the provincial capital, and when he encounters some things in society, he is also ruthless, even killing them all, but he is very polite to the people around him. ”

"No, I think I'm very polite to him, and I've been communicating with him calmly, without losing my temper or speaking loudly. You also heard that his philosophy is different from mine's strategy, and I can't keep him to discipline him every day, right? The resignation was proposed by him himself, and I agreed to it smoothly, is there any problem? ”

Lu Yuxin's second brother smiled: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know what to tell you, after all, I am not the material to be the boss, I have opened a small shop in the past, and I only invited one or two part-time workers, even then, I am polite to those two part-time workers, and treat them as relatives of my own family." Of course, Crystal Palace is so big, all the employees add up to almost a thousand, and you can't think of them all as your relatives, but for executives, I think you should still focus on wooing. ”

"No, I understand what you said about wooing and bribing, the problem is that he has to leave by himself, and it is completely different from my philosophy, like this, do I still need to win him over?"

He then laughed: "I didn't mean that, maybe you were right to agree with his resignation, but what you said made me feel uncomfortable." Otherwise, Lingling knows more about these aspects than I do, and you'll hear what she has to say later. Anyway, I always feel that the person who is the boss should be talking the opposite, and the opposite is the opposite. ”

Although his education level is not high, but I have learned from social experience, and my views on many things are absolutely beyond my reach, and I sincerely ask him for advice: "What is the right thing to say, the other thing is to say?" ”

"Let me tell you this, if you want to add money to someone and get promoted, you can criticize him first and point out his shortcomings so that he can improve in the future. If you want to fire someone and punish him, you should first put his merits on display, and then in some way imply that although he has done a lot of work, the mistakes he has made are fatal, so that he himself willingly accepts your various punishments, because in his opinion, you are reluctant to punish him, but you have to punish him. ”

"," I reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, although I may not be able to do what you said, it's not so tactful, but it's a wise saying, and it's too boring to let you drive." So, from now on, you will be my assistant to the general manager, how about it? ”

As soon as my words fell, my phone rang.

Because my mobile phone is newly bought, only Lu Yuxin and Lingling know, I guess it should be Lingling who encountered some problems when she was doing the handover. When I took out my mobile phone and looked, it was actually Lu Yuxin calling.

I immediately clicked on her mobile phone number, and without waiting for her to speak, I preemptively said, "Wife, what do you mean?" How long have I been away for a while, and you came to check on the phone? It's useless to check, most of the employees of Crystal Palace were picked by you, it can be said that there are groups of beautiful women, and I am laughing among the flowers now! ”

"Don't talk to me!" It is conceivable that on the other end of the phone, she must have glared at me, and then said: "You are really talented, you only worked for an hour, and you fired the manager who knows the most about the business in our company, do you know how many people poached him at the beginning?" I still relied on my identity as a sister, and I got him here with both hard and soft, but you're good, you don't understand anything, just let him go. ”

"I'll go, you're so well-informed, isn't it Lingling's call to you? Hey, I'm the general manager now, Lingling should listen to me, she's your undercover agent in front of me, believe it or not, I'll even open her later? ”

"You know it, do you think you can build the Crystal Palace on your own?" Lu Yuxin sighed: "It was the manager who called me, and he meant to tell me that it wasn't that he was leaving, it was you who forced him to leave, and wasn't he afraid that I would go back and trouble her?" You can think about whether he can go or not, if not, I will leave him behind, and let him listen to you for everything in the future. ”
