Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

After hearing the treatment Wang Dong promised, Ma Xingwen did not respond immediately. Instead, he faced Wang Dong's expectant gaze and asked seriously: "Boss Wang..."

"Are you sure that after I arrive at the hotel, I will earn more than 100 yuan a month?"

Wang Dong answered confidently: "I am sure..."

"Even if you don't believe me, you should believe my father-in-law..."

"He used to be your platoon leader. If I didn't have the ability to offer you a high salary, I believe that given my father-in-law's character, he would definitely not have called you over."

After receiving Wang Dong's definite answer and seeing that the old platoon leader Chen Dehui also gave him an affirmative answer, Ma Xingwen's only remaining concerns disappeared and he made a prompt decision: "If you can really pay me more than 100 yuan a month, I will go to the steel mill and resign tomorrow..."

Wang Dong smiled and replied: "Why would you quit a good job?"

“Aren’t we still able to sell workstations now?”

"Your job is as a security officer, a regular worker in the steel mill. If you sell it, you can get at least 600 yuan in return."

Ma Xingwen's eyes lit up and he replied, "I understand. I'll go back and deal with this matter now."

"I will go to work at the hotel the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Wang Dong continued: "Then I will call you Captain Ma from now on..."

"As I just told you, the entire security team is divided into four teams, with a total of 40 security personnel."

"Ordinary people have no deterrent power as security guards. Captain Ma, you retired as a platoon leader, so you must know a lot of comrades. Many of them were not cadres when they retired and did not have jobs, so they are now working as farmers in the rural areas around the city."

"So I need you to help me fill the vacancies for these 40 security guards and team leaders."

"In addition to being a retired soldier, the other party must also be an honest person."

"I opened a restaurant to make money. Every customer who comes to eat is a god. I must serve them well. If there is a conflict with a customer, I must persuade them to stop fighting and never escalate the conflict."

"If the other party has a bad temper, don't go to the security team. Otherwise, you won't get paid, but instead cause trouble for the restaurant. It's not good for anyone."

"Of course, even if we are honest, we still have to be ruthless like a soldier."

"When we meet guests who come to our restaurant, we must greet them with a smile, so that they feel like they are in the spring breeze, have a good time eating and having fun, and finally pay and leave happily, so that they feel that no matter how much money they spend in the restaurant, it is worth it."

"But if you encounter those hooligans who come to the restaurant to cause trouble, you have to expose your ruthless side, and it would be best if you could make them retreat."

"If the other party insists on causing trouble in the restaurant, then I will take them down as quickly as possible, so as not to affect the guests' meals, and call the police immediately, hand those people over to the police, and deal with them through the law."

Although Ma Xingwen is an honest man, he is not a fool, otherwise he would not have become the platoon leader in the team.

I immediately understood the implicit meaning of Wang Dong's words.

At the same time, he promised: "Boss, don't worry."

"I do have many retired comrades who are farming in the rural areas around the city. If the hotel really pays each security guard more than 40 yuan a month, I believe those people will rush to work in the hotel."

"I'll find a way to contact them in a moment, and I guarantee that I can get you 40 security guards within three days."

…………

Six or seven days passed in a flash. After ten days of training, the hotel's more than 100 employees finally became competent.

The uniform waiter uniforms, uniform security uniforms, and uniform kitchen uniforms make people feel particularly comfortable.

Looking at the more than 200 employees standing neatly in front of him by department, Wang Dong's face was full of anticipation.

If nothing unexpected happens, this hotel at your feet and the more than 200 employees in front of you will be the starting point for the gradual development and growth of your own commercial aircraft carrier.

He cleared his throat and said proudly: "Employees..."

"I am your boss, Wang Dong..."

"Everyone should have memorized the various rules of the restaurant, so I won't go into details here."

"Dongjun Hotel will officially open at noon tomorrow."

"I just want to say one thing to you all."

"In order to increase everyone's enthusiasm for work, I have taken out a total of 35% of the profits as dividends for everyone. Even if you are just a small waiter or a kitchen helper in the restaurant, you will get dividends at the end of the month."

"If the restaurant's daily profit exceeds 500 yuan, everyone standing here can get a 50-cent dividend, and some can even get 5 yuan."

"If the restaurant's profit exceeds 1,000 yuan, everyone standing here can earn at least 1 yuan per share, which adds up to 30 yuan a month, equivalent to a month's salary for many employees."

"In order to get more salary and to make a good life for myself and my family, I hope everyone can seize this opportunity and work hard in the hotel."

"The more money I make, the more money you will earn."

"If I earn less money, or even if the restaurant closes due to poor management, not only will your income decrease, but you may even lose your job."

"Of course, if someone disobeys orders during work and is caught by your team leader, deputy manager, or even manager, the first time will be a warning, the second time will be a salary deduction, and the third time will be dismissal. I will not show any mercy to you."

"After all, the salary I offer you is higher than that of many state-owned factories."

"Since you are getting a high salary, you should work hard for me."

"As far as I know, there are still a large number of educated youth who have returned to the city and cannot find jobs..."

"As long as I give the nod, the restaurant can easily hire hundreds of people. There is no need to worry about not having jobs for me."

"So I hope everyone can cherish this opportunity to make money, work hard, and make money together."

Wang Dong originally wanted to give Yu Li a manager position.

In the original plot of "Siheyuan", Yu Li opened a restaurant and did other things. She was very successful in the play, which shows that she was a very capable woman.

But when she learned that the position of deputy manager in a hotel must be one with a high school degree or above, and she only had a junior high school degree and had never managed anyone during her work in the steel mill and had almost no management experience, she decisively gave up the position and decided to start as a team leader and then work her way up step by step after gaining management experience. Otherwise, even if Wang Dong asked her to be the front desk manager, she would not be able to convince others.

Although she was only a team leader in the front hall and was in charge of only nine waiters, her monthly salary was still 50 yuan. With the profit sharing, she could earn at least 80 yuan a month, which was still more than twice as much as working in the kitchen of a steel mill.

Yu Li was still very satisfied. (End of this chapter)
