Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1278 The Bet Payed Off

Feng Geng raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, he felt a little discouraged and defeated.

A bunch of immature kids impulsively started a company, knowing nothing and having nothing at all; they hadn't even finalized any projects yet. This was completely different from what he had imagined before he came. It was far worse than he had envisioned.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Geng licked his lips and asked, "May I ask about the company's shareholders and its financial situation? Of course, it's fine if it's inconvenient."

Xiao Wei said, "The company's shareholders are companies, Guolin's tourism company and our tourism real estate company in Haikou. There are no individual shareholders. As for funding, it depends on the needs. Since the project hasn't been finalized yet, the company has only prepared a little over two million yuan for operations."

Wu Guolin said, "You don't need to worry about the funding. What you need to consider are what Xiaohui just mentioned. We'll take care of the funding."

Feng Geng nodded, considered for a moment, and said, "From what I understand, the relevant departments here are quite demanding in terms of bribes and favors, and they even directly interfere in engineering projects. The process of obtaining permits is also not very smooth. I don't know if you are aware of this."

Du An'an said, "We'll handle these things. You just need to focus on your own job. Xiao Hui just said that we won't be here most of the time, so you'll be in charge of everything here from now on. Just focus on doing your job well."

Xiao Wei said, "You will definitely be involved in the planning and design, but overall we will be responsible. The construction will be handled by the military. You will provide your opinions and suggestions on future entertainment projects."

Feng Geng felt a little relieved; it wasn't too outrageous, and there was still some plan in place.

"May I ask about my compensation and benefits?"

Xiao Wei said, "We are a private company, and you've been here for quite a while, so you should know that we don't have those hidden problems that state-owned enterprises have. The probation period is three months, with a salary of 1,500 yuan. The company will build a canteen and provide accommodation."

After probation, the salary is 2200 yuan, with an annual management bonus of 3%, increasing to 5% after three years. Relevant financial, personnel, and management systems are in place; you can provide feedback based on the actual situation here.

Feng Geng thought for a moment and asked, "How do we solve the transportation and communication issues?"

Wu Guolin said, "We have all the cars and other amenities you need. Pagers will be reimbursed based on actual expenses."

Xiao Wei said, "Think it over carefully. You have to figure this out yourself. If you come, do a good job. If you don't, just say so. Don't come and leave after a few months. It will make everyone feel bad."

Liu Jiaming said, "Please help us with things at our company for now. Once everything is sorted out, we'll give you a small bonus for your hard work. You won't be shortchanged."

Feng Geng asked, "Will the travel agency be based in Kyoto from now on? Can I recommend someone?"

Wu Guolin said, "Oh right, you used to work at the Kyoto Tourism Bureau. Sure, recommend someone capable. If they do a good job, I'll give you a bonus."

Feng Geng said, "Okay, when do I start work?"

Xiao Wei said, "Anytime. That's the situation right now. The company has only hired a few people, so you can start right away. First, streamline the company's internal operations and get the cafeteria up and running. As for accommodation, you can just move in."

To be honest, the salary offered isn't high. Salaries in eastern Guangdong and Hainan, especially in the real estate industry, are currently among the highest in the country, with 3,000 to 5,000 yuan being common, and tens of thousands being frequent. However, with the real estate market crash and the decline in land and housing prices, industry salaries have been significantly affected.

Feng Geng didn't have many other thoughts at the moment. His main goal was to get this job, earn a little over a thousand yuan a month, which would alleviate his current financial difficulties and allow him to send some money home. Who could predict what the future held?

Being a manager here is much easier than going out to carry bricks, and I have food and lodging provided.

He had a tough year, doing all sorts of jobs, even carrying cement on construction sites. With the real estate market crash, all industries were severely affected, and it was difficult to find decent work.

Xiao Wei called Shi Li over and handed the contract to Feng Geng: "Take a look. If you think it's okay, you can sign it and start working."

Feng Geng had been here for several years and had done a lot of work, but this was the first time he had been asked to sign a contract. This rekindled his hope for the company. Perhaps it wasn't as bad as it seemed, and maybe it really was an opportunity.

Back then, the labor market was in complete chaos. Nobody cared or asked questions. There were no contracts for working in private companies; everything was just talk.

After carefully reading the contract, Feng Geng solemnly signed his name on it.

The contract is made in quadruplicate, with each party holding two copies, all of which have equal legal effect. Xiao Wei handed the contract to Shi Li and said to Feng Geng, "From now on, we'll be colleagues. Welcome, Manager Feng. I hope we can have a pleasant working relationship in the future." He stood up and shook hands with Feng Geng.

Several people went over and shook hands with Feng Geng. Chen Hui asked, "Where are you living now? Do you need a car to help you move over?"

Feng Geng said, "I'm renting a place on the outskirts of the city, in a farmer's house. Don't laugh at me, but I can't afford to live in the city anymore."

Xiao Wei said, "Let's go, take a look at your office, get to know the other employees, then take your car back, move your things over, and start work. Hurry up and get all the departments set up. Oh, and before the cafeteria is ready, everyone will get a ten-yuan meal allowance every day, paid along with their salary."

Feng Geng followed Xiao Wei towards the main office and asked, "What standards do we use for the cafeteria?"

Xiao Wei said, "Just make sure the employees eat well, and don't be extravagant. There aren't any standards. You're the general manager, so you just need to make the decisions."

The two men went to the office prepared for the general manager, and then went to the large office where the employees worked to meet everyone. Feng Geng was then officially in charge. His first task after taking office was to go back and move.

Qi Hui and Geng Fengjun are currently the company drivers. There's nothing particularly important to do, so this arrangement is just for now.

These days, there aren't many people with private driver's licenses. It takes more than a year to get one and costs over ten thousand yuan, which is not something everyone can afford.

With the general manager in place, Xiao Wei and the others immediately felt a sense of relief. That evening, they treated the entire company to a meal to welcome General Manager Feng to the company. After that, the guys handed over all their responsibilities to Feng Geng and were finally free of any worries.

As Feng Geng lay on his bed in his new dormitory that night, flipping through the company's documents, he realized that he had almost been fooled by Xiao Wei. It wasn't that there weren't projects; on the contrary, they were massive projects—over a thousand acres of land, including the beach, with a planned investment of over 300 million yuan.

"Damn, I made the right bet!" Feng Geng felt a surge of excitement.
