National Tide 1980.

Liu Jiye's attitude clearly showed that he was trying to smooth things over. He did not show any loyalty as a loyal dog should have, which obviously could not satisfy Gong Mingcheng.

"Why? Even you are so afraid of him? I know that the old director in the past valued this Ning very much and admired him very much. But after all, isn't he just a person who manages the industry for our Temple of Heaven? Besides, no matter how capable he is, he is not your boss. Why are you afraid of him?"

"This...this..." Liu Jiye rolled his eyes, not knowing how to accurately express Ning Weimin's special status, or fully describe his importance to the Temple of Heaven Park.

I was so anxious that I just said what was most important to me.

"You may not know that Mr. Ning has a special situation. He is not only a very important senior manager of Pierre Caton, but also the God of Wealth for all of us."

"God of Wealth? You are exaggerating."

Liu Jiye smiled disdainfully, "I know that this Ning guy just has some business talent. You want to tell me that it was his opening of the Temple of Heaven Restaurant and the various activities he organized that led to the Temple of Heaven's prosperity today, right? Okay, even if he has some credit, don't forget that the cultural resources that belong exclusively to the Temple of Heaven are the core of the problem."

"A good cook cannot cook without rice. If there is no Tiantan, what else can he do? Don't always think that Tiantan only provided some houses and a little money and is just one of the three shareholders. Let me tell you, among all the cooperative projects, Tiantan actually contributed the most resources."

"Without our gardens, without our historical status, without our reputation, he would not have been so successful in anything he did. He is just a smart man who knows how to explore and utilize our resources. In my opinion, he is actually taking advantage of us..."

Liu Jiye listened to Gong Mingcheng talking incessantly, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

He couldn't tell whether Gong Mingcheng's logic was right or not, and his mind wasn't focused on these things.

But there was one thing he knew he had to tell his leader, so he couldn't help but interrupt Gong Mingcheng's rebuttal.

"Leader, Mr. Ning gives everyone bonuses every year. If he is unhappy, it will be difficult for everyone to get the money. I don't know how many people will have objections..."

After all, Gong Mingcheng was a newcomer, and he was disdainful of the old director's previous management methods.

Although he knew something about Ning Weimin, it was the old director who took the initiative to tell him and give him instructions.

There are many things involving insider interests and details of cooperation that are not fully explained at all.

He was also perfunctory, and his attention was all on how he came to the Temple of Heaven to seize power and money.

He felt that since he had come to the Temple of Heaven, he must be the only one in charge, so why should he care about other people's feelings?

I would never take the initiative to ask the old principal.

So it’s not surprising to hear confusion at this time.

"What? You said he gave bonuses to the people at the Temple of Heaven? What do you mean by that?"

"It means exactly what it says. President Ning is giving us money. All those above the section chief level are included, including the director, deputy director, deputy secretary, and union chairman. Now that the old director is gone, you should also receive this treatment in the future."

"Me? Why should I take the money he gives me? Explain yourself clearly. Why does he give bonuses to our people? And what money does he use to give them?"

The more he listened to this, the more it seemed wrong. There was even a light flashing in Gong Mingcheng's eyes, and he felt vaguely excited, as if he had found a breakthrough.

"Hey, this matter has to do with a series of agreements reached between President Ning and several investors when he opened a restaurant in Japan. One of the provisions states that President Ning will be responsible for the profits and losses of the overseas restaurant. But if the overseas restaurant is profitable, 5% of the restaurant's profits will be taken as a personal reward for President Ning."

"But no one expected that restaurants in Japan are so profitable. Not only did the Tokyo branch break even in the first year of its opening, but in the second year, which was last year, the profit of a single store was almost 700 million yen. This is more than 20 million RMB at the official exchange rate, and it would be doubled if it was privately exchanged. In this way, the commission that President Ning received according to the agreement, even at the lowest exchange rate, conservatively calculated, would be more than 1 million RMB by the end of the year."

"So when President Ning invited a domestic delegation to visit Japan last spring, he took the initiative to discuss with several investors. First, he said that the amount of the bonus would be very high by the end of the year, and he was afraid that if he took it away, he would be criticized. Second, domestic employees working in Japan work much harder than Japanese employees, but their income is less than one-fifth of that of Japanese employees. The gap is too big and affects everyone's work mood. So for the sake of unity, he decided to share the bonus with several investment units and Chinese employees working in Japan."

"As expected, President Ning distributed the money to everyone when he came back this time. We at the Temple of Heaven received 500,000 yuan, the park leaders received 100,000 yuan, and the rest was distributed to our employees. The people who received the least were the two forest rangers who were at home due to chronic diseases and applied for sick leave. They also received 500 yuan."

Liu Jiye became more and more excited as he spoke. Not only was his tone excited and full of saliva, but there was also a hint of admiration in his voice.

You can tell at a glance that he must have taken a lot.

On the other hand, Gong Mingcheng was stunned.

what?

Can personal commissions reach millions?

This is an astronomical figure that people in China cannot even imagine.

And this person is actually willing to take out such a large sum of money and share it with everyone?

Not only did he lose such a large sum of money, but he also had to take on the responsibility for nothing. He had never heard of such a thing before.

Unable to figure out what this was all about, hesitantly asked, "Is this true? Did Manager Ning really take the initiative to propose this? Did he really take out all the money and divide it up? Even to the Service Bureau and Pierre Caton? Didn't he keep any for himself?"

In response to this, Liu Jiye answered very readily and nodded with certainty.

"Yes, it's true. It should be 500,000. So all the units are grateful to Mr. Ning. Mr. Ning didn't keep the rest of the money. It seems that he distributed it to the people working in Japan. Those people not only became rich after returning, but also very grateful. Now everyone in Dangu Restaurant works very hard, hoping to go to Japan once in a while. As for how much Mr. Ning kept for himself, who knows? However, no matter how much he kept, I don't think anyone would have any objection..."

Hearing this, Gong Mingcheng couldn't help but take a breath.

I thought to myself, this guy is really too bold.

He actually dared to accept such an astronomical sum of money in his own name and even distributed it privately to other people.

However, this guy does have some courage and ability.

Not to mention that he is very good at making money, he is also willing to throw out millions of dollars to win people's hearts. Who dares to criticize him?

He can do whatever he wants when he is abroad. He has the capital to be willful.

What's the point of eating dirty and not eating dirty? Aren't you arrogant? As long as he doesn't surrender to the enemy and sell out his country, no one dares to say anything bad about him.

Looking at Gong Mingcheng's intriguing expression, Liu Jiye also felt relieved and expressed his understanding of the breath he took.

He waited for a while and continued to ask, "Director, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Gong Mingcheng came to his senses at this time and immediately understood what Liu Jiye meant.

If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine to offend him, but this Ning Weimin is different, he is really weird.

From the fact that he was not content with the status quo, after founding the Tan Gong Restaurant in Beijing, he took the initiative to go to Japan to work hard, and opened several branches in a short period of time, we can know that he is capable and ambitious. Especially from the fact that he dared to make the astonishing move of giving millions of commissions to others, we can see his courage and calculation. It is impossible for such a person to be manipulated at will.

Apart from other things, the issue of sharing the benefits also involves the Service Bureau. Even if he intends to use this matter to target them, it is not a good idea to make a fuss about it now, otherwise he will offend a lot of people...

Well, perhaps this was the main reason why the old director had repeatedly reminded him to maintain a good relationship with this person.

In addition to being wary of this person's ability, the old man probably also has the concern of being grateful to the person who gave him the favor. Maybe this Ning has some other leverage over him.

Hey, it’s a good thing that old guy still pretends to be serious in front of me.

Today I found out that he is not a vegetarian monk.

Isn't this also receiving benefits from others?

Gong Mingcheng frowned when he thought of this. After all, he had just arrived and hadn't yet completely established his footing, so he just wanted to pick on the weak.

Now that he found out that the other party was not a persimmon, and was most likely a hairy walnut, he felt that he needed to think about it carefully.

So he decided to be cautious and not be too careless, and asked Liu Jiye about Ning Weimin's specific situation.

"Then...what kind of person is this Ning?"

"What do you mean? Appearance, temper, or..."

"From all sides, just speak freely about what you know. Tell us everything."

"Oh, that's right. Mr. Ning is not very old, but he has extraordinary knowledge. Almost all the money-making things in our Tiantan are his ideas. He is confident in everything he does, and you can't go wrong by listening to him. So everyone is very polite to him and respects him. In addition, he is a good friend, not snobbish, very generous and kind. I have never seen him get angry with anyone or get impatient. In particular, his friends are of all levels, including celebrities, professors, painters, foreigners, small vendors, rickshaw pullers, and doormen. Our Tiantan Sun Wufu, the fishmonger Gu Sier, and the rickshaw puller Luo Guangliang are all his friends from poverty. In addition, Mr. Ning is very handsome and has a good figure. I heard that he was originally a male model for Pierre Cardin, and later went to Japan and married a celebrity as his wife, the heroine of "Kamata March" and "Li Xianglan" Matsumoto Keiko..."

These situations made Gong Mingcheng even more surprised. After all, the old director had only talked to him about the work of the Temple of Heaven. The old man would not talk nonsense like Liu Jiye.

The new situation was totally beyond Gong Ming's expectations. He no longer had the slightest desire to touch this troublemaker or to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Okay, I understand. Let's leave the account book issue alone for now. I'll talk to Manager Ning face to face someday. Oh, by the way, didn't you say that we have an annual trip to Japan for inspection? Then you can contact Manager Ning first to see how to arrange the trip to Japan this year. How many people can go, and I'll consider the right candidates."

"Yes." Liu Jiye, who was reporting, didn't care. He didn't have to take any responsibility anyway. He quickly asked for instructions to get out of the situation. "Then, Director, if you don't have any instructions, I'll go and do my work..."

"Go."

Just like that, their conversation ended.

However, when Liu Jiye left, Gong Mingcheng was silent for a long time and his face became gloomy.

For no other reason than that he felt he had been careless.

Since we were not in the same circle before, I only thought of Ning Weimin as someone who was good at dealing with people and could match the old director's temper, but I didn't know much about his detailed situation and didn't take it to heart.

But now he obviously found that this person's situation was rather complicated.

This may be related to how he will display his talents in the Temple of Heaven Park in the future and whether he can successfully realize the progress of full control of power. He must figure it out before making any move.

Who would have thought that the old principal was not exaggerating at all.

It is surprising that such a large Temple of Heaven Park is actually made prosperous by such a non-staff member.

Previously, his attention was focused on the heads of various important departments of the Temple of Heaven Park, and not on these partners at all.

After all, I was here for too short a time and didn’t have time to see more. I never expected that there was a god hidden in the Temple of Heaven Park.

And this guy actually married such a beautiful Japanese star, he is so lucky...

Imagining the appearance of Matsumoto Keiko in the movie, Gong Mingcheng couldn't help but relax and leaned back in his chair with a lustful look.

However, looking at the spacious and high-end office environment in front of him, he soon lost interest in indulging himself in imagination.

To be honest, he really didn't like the existence of such a person who had such a huge influence on the Temple of Heaven.

This is the crime that deserves death.

I don’t know what the old man was thinking when he brought in such an outsider to dilute his authority.

He couldn't stand it. There could only be one person who was the most powerful in the Temple of Heaven, and that was him.

So when the conditions are ripe, he must not leave any trouble for himself...

But now, since this guy is so capable, and dealing with him will make many people suspicious, it seems like a good idea to let him continue to work hard for me and earn money.

Especially since this guy has opened so many branches overseas, from this perspective, it would be a shame to kill such a goose that lays golden eggs.

It is better to treat him as gently as possible. Even if you cannot truly conquer him, you can at least confuse him and enjoy the fruits of his labor first.

As for how to kill him, the safest way is to bury a nail.

It doesn’t matter if we can’t check the accounts, as long as we have our own people inside, everything will be fine.

Moreover, domestic profits are still a small part now. It is better to find out his profits abroad, which are the fattest meat.

Humph, Mr. Ning! No matter how capable you are, you are still a money-grubber. You really don't know how much you weigh.

I just don't believe it. Are you so clean when you are abroad?

If you had been away for a few years, you would have been able to marry a female celebrity. God knows how much money you had embezzled from the Japanese Dangu Restaurant.

Just wait, until I know you inside and out, and if I don’t do something to you, I’ll write my last name backwards!

Yes, and that Zhang Shihui, I will stew you, the stupid dog who can't recognize the situation, together with you. Let's see if you are honest or not! (End of this chapter)
