Chapter 131: Year-end party
As we approached the end of the year, the weather became colder.
However, for the people of Bonta City, this winter has been much better than usual.
Because of the increase in income, the magic air conditioning of heating and cooling, which was still a little unattainable for most families last year, has become within reach.
Although the new generation of cooling and heating magic air conditioner of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has added a new function, which can achieve regular heating by putting in a certain amount of ultra-small pieces of magic crystals, the price has not changed, and it is still the same as last year at 30 gold coins per unit.
So after entering the winter, many families took out the salaries they had saved for several months, gritted their teeth and bought one or even several magic air conditioners from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After these magic air conditioners are installed at home, I enjoy the warm air flow blowing out of the air conditioner, and feel that the whole house is no longer as cold as in previous winters, and the slightest pain when everyone buys the air conditioner disappears without a trace in an instant.
Every day after work, you can feel the warmth as soon as you enter the house, which is a great comfort for everyone.
If you go to take a shower after dinner and enjoy the comfort brought by the abundant and convenient hot water supplied by the Xinfei brand magic water heater, it will expel the fatigue of the whole day, and the night's sleep will be extraordinarily deep and thorough.
At this time last year, the various magical machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were still novelty in the eyes of most people in Bangta City, but now only a year has passed, and the people of Bangta City have become completely accustomed to all kinds of magical machines appearing in their lives, and they are even inseparable from these magical machines.
Now if you boil water to cook and bake bread at home and still use firewood to make a fire, it will only mean that your family is outdated. Needless to say, it will feel like I can't hold my head up among relatives and friends.
In the past, when young people in Bonta City got married, the man would prepare some messy necessities for the marriage. Guarantee that you will be able to enter a normal life quickly after marriage.
But now, if a young man gets married, he doesn't have a few corresponding magic machines at home. Then the girls really don't want to marry you.
Of course, there is a difference between magic machines.
Compared with the magic kettle, automatic magic rice cooker, magic lamp and other gadgets, it is obvious that the magic air conditioner and magic water heater are more popular.
Even if it's a magic freezer that you don't need in winter, that's just as good.
Being able to buy a magic freezer in the middle of the winter at least proves that you're ready for the summer with your wife, isn't it?
In the same way, in addition to the difference between magic machines, there are also differences between the same magic machines.
For example, if you buy a new brand of magic bread, it proves that you are very sincere.
And if it's a magic bread maker of other brands. That can only say that you are stingy.
Although the new flying brand magic bread machine is a little more expensive, it is not much more expensive than other brands of magic bread machine, and the quality of the new flying brand magic bread machine is good, and the appearance is more beautiful, so why not spend so much money to buy the new flying brand?
As a result, the number of girls who demanded this gradually increased, and not only the people of Bonta City, but also several surrounding cities gradually reached a consensus.
If you want a better life, you must have magic machinery at home.
And if you want a good magic machine, it must be a new flying brand.
"So to speak. During the year of this year, our new flying chamber of commerce has been a great success, and now not only the people of Bonta City and several surrounding cities have already recognized our new flying brand magic machines, but even people in other parts of the kingdom have also begun to gradually accept the storage of magic machines. Get to know us at the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi said this loudly, and then raised the wine glass in his hand. "Come, let's toast to this year's hard work and success!"
"!"
Countless hands were raised in the air. Countless wine glasses clashed together, and then were poured down by countless mouths.
Here is the scene of the year-end summary meeting of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
According to the practice formed last year. At the end of each year, Xu Yi gathers the workers and all the leaders of the chamber of commerce for a meal at the factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Summarize the work of the Chamber of Commerce this year.
And because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now has an additional production base in the Falling Rain Valley, and all the workers in the entire Chamber of Commerce have more than 4,000 people, so even if Xu is willing, there is no way to gather all the workers together in one go.
So tonight's year-end banquet at Sanchiton Manor only brought together all the human workers in the Chamber of Commerce.
And the year-end banquet of those dwarves and elven workers will be held until the next time Xu Yi goes to the Falling Rain Valley.
Even so, there are now close to 3,000 people attending this year-end banquet, filling the largest open space in Sanchiton Manor.
For this year-end party, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce invited more than 100 chefs and several times the number of assistant chefs to meet the demand, and spent a budget of nearly 10,000 gold coins for this purpose.
However, these expenses are also worth it in Xu Yi's view, because such activities are very helpful in cultivating the cohesion of the workers and increasing their loyalty to the chamber.
There is a shortage of manpower everywhere in Bangta City, and the workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very popular with other chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery because they have worked in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Since the beginning of winter alone, more than 100 workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have been poached by other chambers of commerce with high salaries.
There is even a chamber of commerce that frantically offers an astonishing high salary of more than 30 gold coins a month for a worker who poached the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Although the chamber of commerce was soon sanctioned by the Bonta City Magical Machinery Business Association and obediently dismissed the worker, this made a bad start and aroused Xu Yi's vigilance.
He could use his position as the president of the Bonta City Magical Machinery Business Association to sanction the Chamber of Commerce that went too far, but if it didn't go too far, such as the Chamber of Commerce that offered workers a slightly higher but not outrageous salary, he wouldn't have a good reason to sanction it.
And that's just within the boundaries of Bunta City. If it was the Chamber of Commerce outside Bangta City that used a salary of thirty gold coins or even more to poach the workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then Xu Yi was powerless to stop it.
And the workers are not so important. The important thing is the researchers at the Academy of Magic.
Evita had mentioned to Xu Yi a few days ago that a chamber of commerce in Anweimar City had contacted her privately. gave her a super high salary of fifty gold coins a month and an annual bonus of no less than two hundred gold coins, and wanted her to work in that chamber of commerce.
Although Evita refused, Xu was not sure that the other researchers at the Academy of Magic would not.
Therefore, this year-end party was held not only to improve the loyalty and cohesion of the employees of the Chamber of Commerce, but also to take the opportunity to express that the treatment of all members of the Chamber of Commerce will be gradually improved.
Sure enough, Xu Yi had just finished announcing this decision, which immediately caused bursts of deafening cheers.
As long as the workers who have worked in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for more than three months, they know that this president will never make a promise to the workers lightly.
But as long as he promises something. But there is nothing that has not been achieved.
Now that he said that he would gradually improve everyone's treatment, he would definitely improve it.
Seeing Xu Yi sit down again amid the cheers of everyone, Heinze, who was sitting next to him, sighed and said: "Xu Yi, the salaries that our Chamber of Commerce gives to the workers are high enough, and if you mention it again, although it is acceptable, it is not a way to go on like this, do you say, Sebas?"
Sebas nodded slightly. There is no need to take out any account books, just open your mouth: "According to statistics, the salaries paid by the Chamber of Commerce to all employees last month have exceeded 100,000 gold coins. And that's not even counting the various benefits including bonuses and holiday gifts, if added as well. Last month, the total amount spent on employees' salaries has exceeded 120,000 gold coins. ”
"Look, you have to give 100,000 gold coins for a month's salary alone, aren't you enough?" Heinze immediately turned his head and looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes. "Don't forget. Last year, our chamber of commerce didn't sell 100,000 gold coins in a month!"
Xu Yi laughed, and he didn't bother to sigh for Heinze's little family anger that could never be changed. He shrugged his shoulders at Kennard and said, "You see, I've always told you that I'm under a lot of pressure as a president. Do you see it. The vice president and the treasurer are putting pressure on me. ”
Kennard smiled slightly, and said to Heinze and Sebas: "Vice President, Director Sebas, although the salaries for the workers are high, the profits of our Chamber of Commerce are also getting higher and higher, isn't it? Compared with last year, the monthly profit of our Chamber of Commerce is now several times more than before, right?"
Sebas nodded and replied, "Yes, if you don't include the proceeds from the sale of cement production technology last month, the total profit of the Chamber of Commerce has exceeded 700,000 gold coins. Aside from various expenses, the final net income exceeded 500,000 gold coins. ”
Hearing this number, Heinze's eyebrows, which had been tangled, relaxed, drank a glass of wine, smiled and sighed: "Alas, I think it would be good if I opened that grocery store and could earn a hundred gold coins a year." Now he has become the vice president of a chamber of commerce that can earn 500,000 gold coins a month. This life is really unpredictable......"
Seeing Heinze's appearance, Xu Yi and the three of them were a little funny.
Kennard couldn't help but laugh and said, "Vice President, you have to thank you for meeting the President, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have the life you have now, right?"
"Well, I've always been grateful to Xu Yi. Heinze nodded earnestly. "If he hadn't chosen me to partner with him to sell magic fans, how would I have the opportunity to express this sentiment now. ”
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "If it weren't for your consent for me to put the magic fan in your grocery store and sell it, I wouldn't have been able to make the first money, would I?"
"No, the magic fan will definitely be discovered, so it's the same wherever you put it. At the end of the day, I was lucky enough to let you choose me. Heinze said solemnly.
Xu Yi laughed: "Okay, I feel that I am old in the past, you are not yet fifty years old this year, and it is not too late to come and tell me this in twenty years." Let's go back to the question just now, about improving the treatment of employees, in fact, there is not only a way to increase the salary, but also more ways to make them feel the benefits of staying in our chamber of commerce, so that they do not change jobs at will. ”
"It seems that you already have your own ideas, so let's talk about it and let everyone study it. Kennard laughed.
Xu Yi nodded and said, "First of all, we must continue to maintain the current step-by-step salary increase system, and let all employees understand." The longer you stay with the new flying chamber of commerce, the higher the salary will be. Secondly, I decided to introduce a pension system......"
"Pension?" Heinze looked at Kennard and Sebas. "What is this?" (To be continued......)
