Reborn in 2000: I just want to love a few people properly.

Xu Bo's words were somewhat convoluted, leaving the employees completely bewildered.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Xu Bo lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and continued in a more determined tone:

"Hai Lao Lao currently only has one store, but in the future, it will become a leading brand in the national catering industry!"

"So, from today onwards—" Xu Bo looked around at everyone, his voice steady and powerful, "I hope everyone can treat Hai Lao Lao as their own home, and together we'll make this home bigger and stronger!"

Hearing Xu Bo's words, everyone couldn't help but want to laugh, so they all lowered their heads to suppress their laughter. They had heard managers brainwashing and making empty promises before when they were working, but they had never seen anyone speak so confidently as Xu Bo.

However, Xu Bo's behavior was much better than the manager who had forced them to do some kind of money-grabbing dance before. Nevertheless, one of the older women mustered up the courage to speak up.

"Boss, we know all that you're saying, and we'll definitely treat this job as our career. So, what kind of training do we need?"

Xu Bo remained silent, his face ashen, and continued speaking.

"so--"

Xu Bo raised his voice and said solemnly, "Next, I will sign a contract with each employee."

"Employees who have worked for a full year will be eligible for stock options!"

The group of aunties who were trying not to laugh didn't quite understand what equity incentives meant, but the three college students naturally did. They were immediately shocked, looked up sharply, and stared at Xu Bo in disbelief, as if trying to confirm whether what he said was true.

Xu Bo repeated it again.

"Employees who have worked for a full year are entitled to equity incentives, receiving 0.8% of the profits of a single store as equity dividends."

"That means that after one year, you will be able to take away 0.8 percent of the profits from this store."

If you didn't know what equity incentives were just mentioned, now that I'm telling you it's about receiving money, everyone will understand.

The suppressed laughter on everyone's faces stopped, and they slowly raised their heads, their eyes filled with the same shock and disbelief as the three college students.

Xu Bo, never one to shy away from making outrageous statements, continued to escalate the situation.

"As I just mentioned, Hailaolao will continue to expand, so when the next store opens, I will bring in the best and brightest from here. At that time, your status will also change, becoming 'core service positions' or 'store core team'. You will no longer just enjoy profit-sharing rights, but you will be able to participate in the core operation of a store."

"Let's all think about it first."

After speaking, Xu Bo sat down. Gu Lin, Yu Haoqi, and Du Qinglong walked over at this time. The two boys looked at Xu Bo in disbelief, unable to believe how he came up with such a complicated process.

Only Gu Lin looked at Xu Bo with complicated eyes. He had brought up this idea at dinner last night. When he first mentioned it, she found it complicated and hard to understand, but after thinking about it all night, she gradually figured it out.

"What about Wang Yan? What was he thinking?" Du Qinglong asked, frowning. If he remembered correctly, Wang Yan had invested the most money.

"I'll take six months, he'll take four. He'll just lie in his dorm sleeping and wait for me to bring him money back. I'll be in charge of all the strategic planning for the store."

Xu Bo gave Gu Lin his email address and asked her to go to the nearby print shop and print out all the contracts related to these matters.

For just these few words, he transferred another two thousand yuan to that lawyer, Ma.

He was supposed to do these things himself, but he drank too much yesterday, so Gu Lin sighed when she saw Xu Bo looking embarrassed, and pushed open the door to leave.

Those waiters clearly had their own concerns.

They were originally residents of the surrounding area, hoping to find some odd jobs here, but they never expected that Xu Bo would suddenly try to trap them.

However, the temptations of this trap are too great, and no one wants to leave easily.

A few people felt indifferent and didn't want to be tied down, so they explicitly rejected Xu Bo's equity incentive offer.

After discussing it, Xu Bo and Gu Lin finalized the salary.

Those who enjoy equity incentives receive a base salary of 400 yuan per month and a full attendance bonus of 100 yuan.

Those who do not receive this benefit receive 500 yuan per month, plus a 100 yuan bonus for perfect attendance.

The difference was only one hundred yuan a month, which was considered a lot at that time, and the salary and benefits were also quite generous.

Just as the group was discussing, Bai Feifei walked over first and said to Xu Bo, "I want to sign this contract."

Xu Bo nodded. She had talked to Bai Feifei about this a few days ago, and Bai Feifei's reaction today was within Xu Bo's expectations.

Not long after, Gu Lin pushed open the door and came in, holding a thick stack of contract documents, but the one on top clearly made Gu Lin panic.

"What is this!" Gu Lin took out a document and slammed it on the table in front of Xu Bo.

Xu Bo glanced at it, shrugged, and said calmly.

"You're the manager, even if you only work part-time occasionally, I still need to give you the corresponding rights."

"We agreed before that I would give you two thousand yuan a month, plus ten percent of the profits."

"Then I thought about it again. If the monthly turnover reaches a certain amount, you can get two percent of it, and if it goes up, it's three percent. It's specified in the article. You can see for yourself."

"Does anyone have someone they like? No rush, you can take them home first and let your family and friends see them. If they like them, then you can sign and take them back."

Xu Bo clapped his hands and said loudly.

At the same time, they started handing out the contracts they had, just like the people handing out flyers at the school gate.

Soon each waiter had their own serving.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Xu Bo realized that no one would sign anything today except Bai Feifei, which was expected. He calmed himself down, glanced at his phone, and saw that it was 8:40. He needed to get to the small auditorium at 10:00, so he had to hurry.

"Let's not waste any more time, let's begin the training."

Finally, we've arrived at today's main topic. Xu Bo began to personally demonstrate how an excellent Hailaolao waiter should behave when guests enter.

"You don't necessarily have to bend your waist to ninety degrees, but you must make your guests feel our hospitality."

"You must have good eyesight. It's not a big deal in this weather, but in winter, if a guest wears glasses and their eyes are fogged up as soon as they enter the room, you must inform the staff behind them to hand them a glasses cloth when they are seated."

"This towel isn't folded neatly enough; it needs to be folded corner to corner and edge to edge."

A little while later, Xu Bo's devilish nature was finally revealed. Even Gu Lin felt that Xu Bo was too meticulous about details, even calculating exactly how many teeth to show when he smiled.

The younger students learned relatively quickly, but it was tough on the women in their thirties and forties. However, they were secretly encouraged when they thought about the equity incentives that Xu Bo mentioned.

If I can provide good service, I might be the next store manager. After all, Gu Lin, a young woman in her early twenties, is able to get more bonuses.

"Keep looking for waiters, don't stop. Find some young and strong ones. These older ones won't last long. After this transition period, if anyone resigns, just give them their money and let them go."

While the waiters were practicing, Xu Bo quietly approached Gu Lin, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something cold and hard.
