Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Facing everyone's worried gazes, Wang Dong didn't waste any words and said bluntly: "Of course, we'll go find the street."

"There are more than 100 jobs, and the minimum wage is 30 yuan per month, which is higher than the salary of regular workers in the steel mill. If the restaurant business is good, there will be dividends."

"Director Zhou of the subdistrict is worried every day about finding jobs for the educated youth who have returned to the city in his jurisdiction."

"We will provide him with more than a hundred jobs at once. As long as Director Zhou is not stupid, he will definitely support us unconditionally in recruiting workers in the street."

“The only problem is that our restaurant is a private enterprise, not a state-controlled factory. I guess a lot of people will look down on our restaurant.”

"But there will definitely be no problem in recruiting more than a hundred workers."

"Then it will depend on what choices those educated youth returning to the city make."

"As long as they are willing to trust our restaurant and work diligently and not slack off, I guarantee that they will get the compensation they deserve, which will be much higher than working in a factory."

"Let those educated youth who returned to the city and did not choose to work in our steel mill regret it to death."

"As for technical positions like chefs, we'll have to rely on Dashan and Zhuzi to help recruit people."

"The treatment I offer is definitely better than what they offer in other factories."

"After my assessment, chefs who have reached the ninth-level chef standard can enter the restaurant as ordinary chefs, with a monthly salary of fifty yuan plus 0.2% of the bonus."

"Cooks who reach the eighth-level chef standard can become sous chefs after entering a restaurant, with a monthly salary of 75 yuan plus 0.3% bonus."

"Cooks who reach the seventh-level chef standard can become head chefs after entering a restaurant, with a monthly salary of 100 yuan plus 0.4% bonus."

"Cooks who have reached the level 6 chef standard can become sous chefs after entering a restaurant, and their salary and benefits are the same as Zhuzi's."

"If you can convince chefs of level 5 and above to join the restaurant, I can give them the title of honorary head chef, specializing in cooking some important dishes and training apprentices in the kitchen, with the same salary and benefits as Dashan."

"As for the remaining kitchen helpers, vegetable cutters, and food processors, they will receive a salary of thirty yuan per month plus a 0.1% bonus."

"I roughly calculated that after the kitchen is fully staffed, the monthly dividends will add up to about 10%."

"Next, let's talk about the front hall."

"The average waiter's monthly salary is thirty yuan plus 0.1% bonus."

"There is one team leader for every 20 waiters, with a monthly salary of 50 yuan plus 0.2% bonus."

"Each level has a deputy manager, who must have a high school education or above, with a monthly salary of 75 yuan plus 0.3% bonus."

"There is one manager for each level, with a monthly salary of 100 yuan plus 0.5% bonus."

"The dividends for all front office managers and waiters are controlled at around 15 percent."

"For the remaining security, purchasing, human resources, and finance departments, I will arrange for specialized personnel to take over, and at the same time give them a 10% dividend."

…………

The office of Street Director Zhou.

Upon learning that Wang Dong was coming to see him, Director Zhou waited directly at the door of his office to welcome his arrival.

Because Wang Dong has helped him so much during this period.

Two five-story buildings were built on the original site of the courtyard, and the interior was decorated.

In the past two or three months, an average of hundreds of young people have been working there every day.

The subdistrict construction team only had a dozen workers, and the rest were mostly young people recruited from the educated youth who returned to the city. They were paid 25 yuan a month, which greatly eased the employment pressure of the educated youth who returned to the city. Even he, the subdistrict director, was praised by the district.

So when Director Zhou met the rich man Wang Dong again, even though Wang Dong was no longer the deputy director of the logistics department of the steel rolling mill, his respect for him was still from the bottom of his heart.

There's even a little bit of anticipation.

He knew that Wang Dong was the kind of person who would not come to visit someone unless he had something important to do.

He must have come to me suddenly to discuss something with me. Maybe it was the more than 100 workstations that Wang Dong promised me before that were settled.

"Comrade Wang Dong, I've been looking forward to seeing you here for a long time, and finally you are here..." Director Zhou said to Wang Dong with a smile on his face.

"I heard from the construction team that the two buildings passed the inspection three days ago and were handed over to you..."

"I don't know when your restaurant is going to open, and how many waiters you will need..."

"The street will definitely cooperate fully and ensure that it does not affect the opening of your restaurant."

Wang Dong saw through Director Zhou's thoughts at a glance and immediately responded, "Director Zhou..."

"Soon."

"I came here today to deal with the waiters, the vegetable cutters, the kitchen helpers, and the food preparers."

After that, he took out the job quota that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and continued to say to Director Zhou: "After statistics, I need a total of 169 returned urban youth."

"But some positions have higher requirements and only graduates with high school education or above are eligible to take them."

"I hope Director Zhou can help me solve these shortfalls within three days."

"In three days, I will conduct a one-week pre-job training for all employees in the hotel."

"If you pass the training, you can be transferred to an intern and start working. After the three-month internship period, you can be hired as a full-time employee."

"If we find during the training and internship that someone is not suitable for the position, or is cheating in the position and cannot meet our hotel's requirements, we will definitely dismiss them."

"But we will still pay him his salary during his internship and training period."

"After all, I want to expand this restaurant, and I will definitely not let its reputation be ruined by some illegal activities."

Director Zhou quickly glanced at the data on the list and his face lit up with joy.

In the past few months, there has been a steady stream of educated youth returning to the city to look for work.

However, because the number of jobs provided by factories in the area is very limited, Director Zhou has an increasing number of returned educated youth looking for jobs, and the number has exceeded 500.

Now with more than 160 jobs provided by Wang Dong, one third of the pressure on his shoulders can be relieved immediately.

Without more than a hundred educated youth returning to the city hanging around the streets every day and wasting their time, the public security in the area would continue to improve.

Thinking of this, Director Zhou's face immediately lit up with joy. He looked at Wang Dong and answered very confidently: "Comrade Wang Dong, don't worry..."

"It won't take the street three days, at most two days, to recruit all these one hundred employees for you."

"I plan to organize a job fair at the street square tomorrow afternoon. I will have someone reserve a few tables for you and recruit people directly at the job fair."

"There are more than 500 unemployed returned educated youth in the subdistrict, and we can definitely recruit more than 160 people." (End of this chapter)
