Chapter 56: A Day Tour from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand
As soon as he woke up, Don Juan seemed to say goodbye to yesterday and plunged into a new life, not as negatively affected as we thought.
His smile is still the same, he still works hard, and he still has the same passion for making money, at least when I saw him.
In the afternoon, he collided with Don Juan in the company's aisle, and he rushed back to check in after lunch.
Now, in order to deal with those "ghost employees", the company's management requires all positions, including business personnel, to clock in the afternoon. Ghost employees are those who just show up when they come in the morning and then flash out and don't see anyone for the whole day.
These people, under the guise of doing business, take private work or part-time jobs outside all day long, and the company is waiting for the basic salary and a little welfare every month, and the worst three or five months to complete the probationary assessment period; There are also masters, who have been here for more than a year, and they can also do some performance every month, barely on the verge of passing the assessment, and have been hanging here with half a breath left.
Don Juan put one hand on my shoulder and asked, "Tu Turtle, do you have something to do in the afternoon?" ”
"Whatever the risk, the main thing is done in the morning, and I am ready to make another phone call or two after I go to work in the afternoon."
"Let's go, come with me to collect money, it's a smell here alone. The call can be made tomorrow or from a mobile phone. His tone seemed to have been predetermined.
I said, "What? Where are you going to be afraid of being alone? ”
"Hehe, it's the Oriental Kitchen School that asked me to advertise, you should accompany me to play a little bit." He smiled so kindly that he couldn't bear to refuse.
Who told me to say that it was okay, so I had to go with us, and I should go to a new place to take a look.
Speaking of which, it is also a scenic spot on the famous local "New Malaysia-Thailand" tourist line in Star City, Star City people often say that rich people go to overseas "Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand" popular route travel, and people who don't have much money to go far can also visit our Star City's own "Xinkaifu-Mawangdui-Taiping Street".
Oriental Kitchen School is located in the northwest corner of the city in a relatively remote place called Xinkaifu, which belongs to the edge of the city, and there is no commercial form here. The largest number of them are some decaying state-owned units, which are not densely populated, and the main residents are the workers and their families who used to work in the old factories here and the vegetable farmers on the outskirts of the city.
As a result, it has always been a relatively poor area, with a dilapidated road full of potholes for more than ten years. The two-lane road, which was built many years ago, is now unrecognizable, with only bare loess and pebbles left in many areas; If you're not an indigenous person here for many years, you can hardly imagine that this was once an asphalt road.
On a sunny day, it seems like a dusty desert to drive by, but now in this rainy season, the road beneath our feet is a muddy swamp.
I sat behind Don Juan's motorcycle, and every time I passed a puddle, I had to lift my feet high so that I wouldn't get my shoes and pants wet with the sewage mud paddles.
I said to Don, "I know why you called me to come with you, you walked such a long way alone, and no one spoke too much, right?" ”
"Clever." He smiled and said, "It's just the right time for those of you who are used to being a powerful media to experience the hardships of our tabloid advertising." ”
"He does an issue of TV, radio, film and television newspapers, and it is not a full-page, half-page, or a column every week, how much money can he have? As for running so far? Why don't you want them to pay the advertising money to the company's account on time? I asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, then I'd rather run by myself, a small private boss like them is a little bit of a private boss, they all pay cash directly, don't even open tickets, do you know?" Don Juan blinked. The "apostrophe" in Xingcheng dialect is simple and refreshing.
Seeing that I still don't quite understand, Brother Huang continued: "In the first few issues, I also sent the newspaper on the day of the advertisement to check out every time, and then I got acquainted with this boss Zhang, and I came to get the money every week, and it didn't matter if I brought the newspaper or not, maybe he remembered that the content of the week was the same anyway." ”
"Then you don't advertise at all, right? Turtle, you will make a big profit, 100% profit. "I was a little surprised.
"Smart, I'm right again, and my braincase is still quite smart. That's what I do sometimes. Of course, it's not every issue.,That's too obvious.,It's basically an ad every other week.。 Because I found out that Boss Zhang himself didn't read the newspaper at all. ”
I advised him: "You have to do this kind of trick of killing chickens and eggs, and you have to do a long-term business." If you make a few more friends, he won't be with you for a long time in the future. Besides, what if it's discovered? ”
He said vigorously: "Our commission level is so low, I can steal a month's profit to be worth a year's formal commission income, like I have done it a few times, which is equivalent to signing a long-term contract with him for several years, haha." Who knows how many years has he been doing this for a small private business? Maybe it's going out of business. ”
That said, it seems to be reasonable. I thought to myself that this ghost cub was getting bolder and bolder, but I didn't bother to argue with him anymore.
After more than an hour of bumpy trekking, we finally arrived at the gate of the Oriental Cooking School.
When I came in, I saw that this was the site of an old state-owned enterprise. Private bosses like to rent such a ready-made office area, one is a big place, and the other is cheap; Now many old factories are in a state of shutdown or semi-shutdown, and they are also willing to rent out some space and make some expenses.
The students of this kitchen school came to ****, and I heard that there are also people from other provinces who come to learn Hunan cuisine, and they are faced with practical problems such as arranging accommodation and on-site teaching. Of course, it is not possible to rent a classroom in a primary or secondary school, as is the case with some small training institutions that claim to be foreign language schools.
The place rented by Oriental Kitchen School is the original 701 factory, which mainly produces electronic accessories, and the original scale is not small, but in the mid-90s, the benefits were not good, and most of the employees went back to seek their own development.
The original staff dormitory and staff canteen here are very practical with a little renovation.
