Chapter 12: Ruthless
The pace of life in Hong Kong can be described as very fast, at first Lou Xiao'e's mother and son were somewhat uncomfortable, but fortunately, all the things outside were covered by Zhou Ming alone, and Lou Xiao'e, a stupid daughter-in-law, did not need to work too hard.
"Brother Ming, when are we going to open our weekly diary?" Lou Xiao'e helped Zhou Ming take off her coat, and looked at Zhou Ming suspiciously.
"October 1st! A day of celebration for the whole world. Zhou Ming said with a smile on his face a festive day, presumably every Chinese person will like it.
"Haha, it's a good day."
"Xiao'e, you have to step up your learning of Cantonese now, otherwise it will be very troublesome to communicate with a mouthful of Beijing films."
"Good! With you as a good teacher, my Cantonese has improved very quickly. ”
Zhou Ming's Cantonese level really shocked the stupid Lou Xiao'e, because in her impression, Zhou Ming was a chef with superb cooking skills, and she never dreamed that Zhou Ming was still proficient in Cantonese.
Now Zhou Ming not only relies on Lou Xiao'e and her two children, but also makes Lou Xiao'e and her children live in happiness every day, and at the same time becomes a treasure chest in Lou Xiao'e's eyes.
……
During this time, in addition to being busy with store decoration and procurement, Zhou Ming's main job was to hire employees for training, knowing that the Hong Kong catering industry in this era did not have any sense of service, so Zhou Ming was very concerned about the training of employees.
"Boss, I don't think it's necessary to be so strict with training, do I?" The store manager hired by Zhou Ming, Ah Xia, looked at Zhou Ming with a look of embarrassment and explained.
"Ah Xia, you don't understand! Nowadays, the competition in Hong Kong's catering industry is very fierce, and it is still necessary for us to improve our service standards if we want to stand out quickly. Zhou Ming will not compromise on the quality of service, which is also the foundation of the future development of "Zhou Ji".
"But...... It's too harsh, and employees will feel uncomfortable. ”
"It's best to be able to take it! I really can't accept it, so I can come and go freely. ”
"This ...... All right! I'm going to do the work of the employees. ”
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is still the case for Zhou Ming, a man with bugs, to know that site selection, decoration, procurement and staff training are all complicated, so Zhou Ming's daily workload is very large.
In particular, staff training can be said to be the most troublesome thing, and the lack of service awareness has almost become the characteristic of Hong Kong small restaurants, so it is still very difficult to change the thinking of employees.
"Store manager, why is our boss so difficult to serve?" A male employee named Ah Qiang looked at Ah Xia and complained.
"Ah Qiang, the salary of other people's restaurant employees is only 200 yuan, but our restaurant is as high as 260 yuan, what do you think the extra 60 yuan is for?" Since she understood Zhou Ming's true attitude, Ah Xia, who is the store manager, also has a bottom line.
"However, such strict requirements are too troublesome, and they don't let us quarrel with the guests, which makes us really serve the guests as God!"
"That's right! The owner means that the guests are God, and no matter what the reason for the dispute, the staff is not allowed to quarrel with the guests. ”
"Humph! I don't want to do such an aggrieved job! I saw Ah Qiang angrily change his work clothes and leave directly.
"Who else? Although Zhou Ji is a newly opened shop, everyone must abide by the rules here, and if you can't accept it, you can leave with Ah Qiang. The store manager Ah Xia looked at the other employees disapprovingly and asked, which also made all the employees see their attitudes.
"I'll go too!" "I'm not doing it anymore!"
"Anything else?" The store manager Ah Xia naturally knew Zhou Ming's intentions, and he didn't care about these people who left him.
“……”
Then several employees left one after another, and finally the remaining employees saw that their bosses refused to compromise, and they could only obediently accept strict training for their wages.
Then Zhou Ming signaled to the store manager Ah Xia to continue recruiting, and the newly recruited employees saw that the old employees were so obedient, so they naturally became honest.
……
On October 1, 69, this is a good day for the whole world to celebrate, Zhou Ming's first career "Zhou Ji" opened, and then opened the door to welcome guests under the noise of gongs and drums and firecrackers.
The lively scene of "Zhou Ji" attracted many curious diners, after all, curiosity will always exist everywhere, and the new decoration style and delicious and convenient food of "Zhou Ji" immediately satisfied diners.
"Well, the food at this Zhou Ji is really good, and it looks exceptionally clean."
"Yes! You can see that their kitchens are all bright files, and we can see it clearly from the outside. ”
"It seems that this weekly diary will be my cafeteria in the future."
"Me too."
At this time, I saw a generous and decent waiter come over, and came directly to the two beauties and introduced, "Two beautiful girls, we have opened a new store in Zhouji, and we have launched a special membership card discount activity, and you will get ten yuan if you charge 50 yuan." ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! If the two beautiful girls are interested, you can go to the cashier counter to find out, and this is our event flyer. ”
"Okay! We'll take a look later. ”
"Two beautiful girls, I'm sorry to disturb your meal! Happy dining to both of you. ”
When the waiter left here to go to the other guests, the two beauties showed surprised expressions, "I didn't expect the service in their store to be so good." ”
"Definitely! Such a service attitude is rare in Hong Kong. ”
The exquisite decoration, high-quality dishes, taste quality and attentive service immediately made "Zhou Ji" an instant hit, and soon became one of the hottest restaurants in the vicinity of Wong Tai Sin District, and the number of member registrations on the first day alone was a huge number.
"Brother Ming, how can our store's turnover be so much in a day? It's almost 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened in astonishment, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
"Actually, it's nothing! The main thing is that member recharge accounts for more than half. ”
"Brother Ming, but I still feel too terrifying, isn't this close to three million a month."
"Haha, that's why I came to Hong Kong, according to my plan, I will open at least six chain stores within a year, and the stores will be purchased in full."
"Brother Ming, if you buy them all, it will take up funds, right? I feel that it is more cost-effective to rent a house. ”
"Xiao'e, Hong Kong's property market will become more and more prosperous, and such a large-scale purchase of shops is also a kind of investment real estate."
"Alright! If the funds were really not enough, I sold the jewelry left by my parents. ”
"No, you don't! With such a large turnover, it is very simple to go to the bank for a loan. ”
"Well, too."
