When he made such a lawn, Li Fei didn't think too much about it. I just felt that the front of the door was bare, lacking some green. In addition, the new commercial street is low and the national highway is high, so make such a lawn to avoid passers-by walking on the edge and the risk of falling.

As for why the slope was built, it was just that the seller emphasized that the iron tree was most afraid of standing water, and said that it was best to grow well at the bottom of the overhead, so that some half bricks were piled on the ground first, and then the brick pile was covered with soil. In order to avoid the embarrassment of the mound like a tomb mound, it was piled up into a dirt slope, so that it would stretch like a mountain undulating and not be dull. As for why the iron tree was chosen, it is because the iron tree grows slowly and is evergreen all year round. There will be no shelter from the hotel building, and there will be no trouble with falling leaves.

Li Fei said that it took a lot of trouble to transport these two two-meter-tall iron trees from Guangdong. Eight porters were hired just to get out of the car, and the gangplank was hitched up from the ground to the car. If there were cranes, this kind of thing would be a piece of cake. But there were no cranes at that time.

Listening to Li Fei's reason, Zhang Ziyang said to Gao Zhengxin that he was called unintentional insertion.

Li Fei said humbly, it can be regarded as a crooked beating. However, listening to Mr. Zhang's words today, I can be regarded as having some understanding of feng shui knowledge. It seems that Mr. Zhang is a master!

After speaking, he didn't look at Zhang Ziyang, but just smiled at Gao Zhengxin.

Gao Zhengxin was originally a very face-saving person, and when he saw Li Fei praising his friend, he felt happier than boasting about himself.

Mr. Li, you don't know, Gao Zhengxin said that our Zhang is always a top student of Wuhan University.

Li Fei used the word "oh" to express his heartfelt approval.

Li Fei said to Gao Zhengxin, I still have a morning meeting, I won't accompany you, you don't have to worry about today's bill. Li Fei got up and said goodbye.

How do that sound like words!

Although Gao Zhengxin was humble in his mouth, he was still very happy in his heart and admired Li Fei's ability to behave.

Li Fei said, what's not like it? Without you, we wouldn't know where our hotel would be!

The business of the hotel is like a child who grows up quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the clothes are too small. There were only two people in the purchasing department, and Ma Ke was in a hurry many times, and I couldn't stand it, so hurry up and help me add people!

Due to the special position of the purchaser, it is not suitable to recruit directly from the outside, so it is arranged internally. Marco said he had only one request: this man must be loyal, reliable, and able to endure hardships!

Yang Yue smiled and said, you are a request, right?

When Song Bo nominated Zheng Baiwen, He Fei said angrily: How can you do this? Isn't the department the same as the bad people? No way!

Zheng Baiwen is an employee of the laundry room under the housekeeping department, who has been a soldier, joined the party, and is honest.

Song Bo smiled and said, why do you have to talk like this? Pull out one, and you'll make up two when the time comes. Okay, right?

When Zheng Baiwen walked into Song Bo's office, he felt uneasy. He works in the laundry room and is even afraid of the supervisor, let alone the manager of the human resources department. In fact, the supervisor treated him like his own child, and never said a word of importance to him. But he was just afraid of her.

What Song Bowan didn't expect was that Zheng Baiwen didn't agree. For a position like a purchaser, which many people can't ask for, he actually reacted coldly.

I'm going to talk to my family. He said, "Why do you want to transfer me alone, but can't you transfer others?"

Zheng Baiwen's family is in rural Xiangzhou. The family saw that he was born thin, and they were afraid that they would not be able to do farm work, so they let him learn the tailoring trade. After a few years of being discharged from the army, I was hesitant to do tailoring or not.

That day, I went to my aunt's house in the city to play, and saw the recruitment advertisement of Perfume Galaxy Hotel on TV. The advertisement says that the salary is high and the treatment is good. With the idea of trying my luck, I went to the Labor and Personnel Bureau to report a name.

The entry fee is ten dollars. It's not a lot of money, but it's not a lot either. It turned out that his salary as an apprentice tailor was only four yuan a day. Since paying the money, Zheng Baiwen's mentality has changed. Ten yuan is not as heavy as a stone, not as light as cotton, so it is not light or heavy, and it is not light or heavy.

He specially went to the Perfume Galaxy Hotel to take a look at the scene. When I saw a tall building with gray and white exterior tiles already standing there, I felt much more at ease.

The family was worried that he had been deceived, especially his mother. She said that you can't find a job with high wages and good treatment through the back door, how can there be such a cheap good thing? My father also said that craftsmen can't die of hunger in a famine year, and nothing is as reliable as doing crafts. Don't think about those foreign things.

But Zheng Baiwen really doesn't want to be a tailor anymore. When you are an apprentice, you have to do not only do work, but also help the master with household chores. There are many ways to live during the New Year's holidays, and there is no rest. The most annoying thing is that customers are picky, one will say that the waist is big, the other will say that the legs are fat, and a piece of clothing has been changed and changed. People are tired, and their hearts are tired.

On the day of the interview, Zheng Baiwen took the first bus to the city. Seeing others in groups, or friends or family together. Only one of himself, alone.

After receiving the application form, he hesitated again and again, but still filled in the word "tailor" in the specialty column. The interview took place in a three-story old building in the backyard of the Perfume Star River. Later, the senior supervisor of the laundry room told him that it was a guest room building built in the later period of the Chengnan Hotel. There are washrooms and public toilets on each floor. It was still too much back then.

Song Bo, who wore a beige jacket, stood at the entrance of the old building, and he was the form verifier. Zheng Baiwen specially wore a pair of high-heeled running shoes, and for insurance, he put three layers of insoles on the soles of his feet. The job notice requires a male height of more than 1.68 meters, and his height is only 1.67 meters. Standing in front of Yang Yujia, he felt that Yang Yujia was taller than him. Yang Yujia is in charge of measuring his height. Her pair of big eyes impressed Zheng Baiwen.

The walkway was covered with bundles of carpet. When you enter the interview room, you have to climb over the carpet. Zheng Baiwen was about to peek in through the crack in the door, when suddenly the door opened, which really startled him.

It was his turn to go in, and he saw a row of people sitting behind a row of tables. Later, I learned that the one sitting in the middle was Li Fei, the general manager of the hotel. Several others are department managers at the hotel.

After simply asking a few questions and telling him to stand up and walk two more times, the interview was over. Later, when I asked others, they said that they were interviewed like this. He didn't understand what the point was.

Someone teased him and said that the question was to see if you could play your tongue; Walking is to see if you are looped legs. He thought badly, although his legs were fine, his tongue was a little flicked when he spoke.

When he was asked what he had said, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember it at all. It was a blank slate. Only a conversation with the general manager he still remembers clearly. The general manager said, will you tailor? He said, uh. But his voice was very small, as if he was speaking to himself.

After the interview from the Perfume Star River Hotel and walking on the new business street, Zheng Baiwen was a little depressed. After thinking about it, the ten yuan was wasted! Welfare lottery tickets are being sold next to the commercial building, and Zheng Baiwen wants to try his luck. If the luck is good, it means that there is hope for recruitment; If you have bad luck, you won't have to talk about it.

He bought an eight-dollar lottery ticket. If you want to get it, you can't leave eight. Scratched it open, and it was a Phoenix bicycle. There was a burst of ecstasy in my heart, and people suddenly had spirits as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Many years later, Zheng Baiwen became his own boss and drove a Mercedes-Benz car, and the Phoenix bicycle has long since disappeared, and Zheng Baiwen sometimes thinks about it. Did you win the lottery or did the word "tailor" bring you good luck?

His tailoring skills played a big role in the hotel's early days. The pillowcases and quilts in the guest rooms are sewn by the laundry room staff. It's like Nanniwan large-scale production, do it yourself, and have plenty of food and clothing.

The hotel only bought a sewing machine. The other sewing machines were brought in from their own homes. Zheng Baiwen tied his sewing machine to the back of the Phoenix bicycle obtained by the lottery, and stepped on it from his home in the countryside to the hotel, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Soon after arriving at the procurement department, Wu Bing, the purchasing supervisor, saw that Zheng Baiwen was not the honest person others said he was. On that day, the two went to Wuhan together to purchase goods and had to load goods in several places. Wu Bing asked Zheng Baiwen to call a truck. The negotiated price driver later changed his hexagram and refused to leave without adding money.

Zheng Baiwen had no choice but to agree. When the freight returned to Xiangzhou, Zheng Baiwen was only willing to settle the bill at the price agreed at the beginning. The driver said angrily, how can you talk and not count? Zheng Baiwen said, is my words not counting, or are you talking not counting!

The driver was stunned for a long time, but he only thought he was unlucky. Later, Wu Bing said that he should still give it to others what he promised. Just two hundred dollars.

Zheng Baiwen argued, how can the hotel make money if the expenses are bigger?

Wu Bing saw that he had raised the problem to the level of the hotel's profit and loss all of a sudden, and it was not easy to say any further.

After Zheng Baiwen was transferred to the procurement department, He Fei has been urging Song Bo to make up for people. Song Bo showed Li Fei the summary table of vacancies in various departments.

Departments are understaffed, especially the food and beverage department. According to Song Bo's statistics, the total number of vacancies reported by various departments is 58. It accounts for more than 20% of the existing employees. Li Fei asked Song Bo, is it really so many people?

Song Bo shook his head in confusion. I don't think so. He said that now it is the hungry wow (crow) who is calling, and the full wow is also calling. The staff is relaxed, the employees are relaxed, the work is better, and the department is of course the more the merrier.

Li Fei was a little worried, how could he stand the sudden increase in so many people, and the salary rate did not fall but rose. The problem is that now the financial accounts are just being able to close the accounts. The first few months were still in the red. Unless interest and depreciation are not accrued, it is not okay to not accrue interest and depreciation at all.

The concierge brought the day's newspaper and placed it on Li Fei's desk. Said there was a letter from the general manager inside.

Song Bo understands the general manager's distress: saying that the burden is too heavy! Such a good business is not profitable.

Li Fei took out the letter and read it, and at the same time explained to Song Bo, you go to implement it one department at a time, seek truth from facts, and see how many people need to be added.

Song Bo promised, put away his notebook and prepared to leave, but before he could go out, he was stopped by Li Fei.

Song Bo turned around and saw Li Fei reading the letter with a solemn expression.

Li Fei handed over the letter, and Song Bo sat on the circle chair by the window to read it. The sun shone obliquely through the window and fell brightly on the letterhead. Song Bo pulled the curtains to avoid the direct sunlight. Through the pillar of sunlight, Li Fei saw a flock of dust dancing in front of the gloomy background.

After reading the letter, Song Bo checked the envelope repeatedly. A white-paper envelope of the most common and cheapest; an eight-cent gray stamp; The payment is the details.

Where did it come from? Song Bo asked.

I just delivered it with the newspaper. Li Fei replied.

The language is vicious, Mr. Song said, and it should be possible to find out who wrote it.

The letter was signed by a family member.

Li Fei asked: How many temporary workers are there in the management department now?

Song Bo replied that except for the supervisor, foreman and a few old employees of the company, the rest were almost all temporary workers. It should be five or six people.

The letter said: In the past, it was said that the landlord capitalists were ruthless and did not care about the lives of the poor, but I think you are now worse than the landlord capitalists! They all do the same job, and you artificially divide them into regular and temporary workers. It is because they are temporary workers, and they are only paid 200 yuan a month, which is half less than that of regular workers. And there is no labor insurance, no welfare, and the bonus can only take half of the other person's. If you are sick, you are not allowed to ask for leave, and if you don't go to work, you will be dismissed if you are absent from work for three consecutive days. Which law do you have? Look at their hands, they're washing the dishes! How can you be so ruthless? Didn't you be raised by your parents? Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?

A truck drove along the highway, with a rumble mixed with a shrill hiss. The screams were hysterical and heartbreaking.

The letter also said, of course, you can say that if they are tired, tired and have little money, they can quit their jobs. If they go today, you can recruit someone else tomorrow. You strangled them to death. Knowing that no matter what, they didn't dare to quit their jobs. They need two hundred dollars. Because they want to live!

Reading this, Li Fei felt the pain of being stabbed in his heart.

You claim to be born at the bottom, and you take fairness and justice as your social ideals; In the preface to your handwritten employee handbook, you portray Galaxy Perfume as a warm, harmonious, fair and superior family; You say that their hard work will be treated with extra respect.

And in actual behavior, you divide people into three, six, nine, and so on, so that they cannot be paid equally for equal work, and let them live in the reality of humiliation and sorrow.

Turns out you're also a liar!

You can defend yourself by saying that you are just a businessman, not a philanthropist. You can buy something for half the price, and there's no reason to pay the full price. But is it true that there is only one goal left in the enterprise?

What kind of society do we really need? What kind of society can we build? If there is no fairness and justice in this society, what is the meaning of the existence of this society?

Li Fei called Huang Kanghua and asked him to read the letter as well. Ask the dishwasher if he knows if his hands are rotten. Huang Kanghua said he hadn't heard of it. Shen Mingyue, the director of the management department, was called on the spot, and Shen Mingyue said, I told you about the last time I made a report to buy rubber gloves.

Did you tell me? Huang Kanghua couldn't remember it.

Do you still have rotten hands when washing dishes with gloves? Li Fei asked Shen Mingyue.

There are too many dishes. Shen Mingyue said that wearing gloves washes slowly, and sometimes they simply take off their gloves to wash. Not long ago, I was also scratched by a missing bowl handle, and the wound hurt as much as salt. Shen Mingyue said and stretched out her right hand: Just now.

Li Fei leaned in to take a look, and sure enough, it had just scabbed, and there was still a circle of red meat around the scab.

Huang Kanghua told Li Fei that Master Shen always took his subordinates to do it together.

Shen Mingyue said that although these employees are all mothers at home, they are sometimes like a child in front of me. Coax them, say nice things to them, and they will be happy.

Do temporary workers have a big problem with their wages? Li Fei asked Shen Mingyue.

Shen Mingyue said that there must be opinions. But the hotel only gave this condition, they came voluntarily, what can be done?

Are they sick and can't take leave?

There are too few people, and a little illness can only ask them to persevere. Besides, they don't want to take leave, they only do one day's salary for one day, who pays them for leave?

How can we improve their work intensity?

When it opened, I reported to Manager Huang and bought a dishwasher. Guangzhou Cultural Holiday Hotel is equipped with a dishwasher in each kitchen, and we have three kitchens, only one can be bought. placed on the second floor. There were more bowls on the first and third floors, so we lifted them up and down. At that time, the funds were so difficult, and the opening was pushed again and again, where was the money to buy a dishwasher.

How much does it cost to buy a dishwasher? Li Fei asked Huang Kanghua.

Huang Kanghua said that before the opening, I asked when I went to Guangzhou to buy kitchenware, and it was about tens of thousands of yuan.

Your department will make a report first, and I will ask the finance department to do an investigation.

Shen Mingyue was so happy that she clapped her hands like a child, and said in a loud voice, great!

Li Fei called Song Bo and went to the scene with Huang Kanghua to visit the dishwasher. They were listened to. Most of the dishwashers are young and middle-aged women, who only know how to work hard, and they are always like motherless children. Suddenly receiving such a huge attention, one by one was overwhelmed with happiness.

At the subsequent meeting on employment and wage adjustment, the hotel management made two resolutions: first, equal pay for temporary workers and regular workers; The second is to determine the sales wage ratio of the department based on the wage content of the existing 100 yuan sales. Departments may decide on their own employment quotas, but they will not increase wages if they increase their staff, and they will not reduce wages if they reduce their salaries.

After the two decisions were communicated, new problems arose in the department.
