Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 512 Let the little girl go?

Chen Hui said, "Xiao Wei, don't worry about them. Let's go. We'll talk about them after their job transfers are settled."

Geng Hui turned to Chen Hui and asked, "Am I getting transferred too?"

Chen Hui said, "I've already talked to my mom. It's simpler for you than for Lao Xia. The banking system isn't under the government's jurisdiction, so it's just a matter of my mom saying a word. She said to let you stay at the People's Bank for now."

Xia Maosheng said, "Then Xiaowei, you don't need to worry about me. Geng Hui, you don't need to reply. I can do whatever I want. You go about your business."

After a few steps, back at the guesthouse, Xiaowei didn't go upstairs but got straight into the car. As he started the engine, he remembered something and said to Chen Hui, "Don't forget about the school. Buy 500 yuan worth of stationery and schoolbags, and have Chen Xiao and Geng Hui distribute them to the students, starting from the lower grades and working their way up. Don't give them to the school; distribute them personally."

Chen Hui gave an OK sign. Xiao Wei then said to Xinghai and Liu Liu, "Pay attention, think it over. Call us if anything happens." The two agreed, and the Omega slowly started up, disappearing into the distance under the gaze of several people.

Liu Liu said to Xing Hai, "Have you noticed that Xiao Wei has become much quieter?"

Chen Hui put his arm around Liu Liu's shoulder and said, "That's because we're not comfortable with it. It means we're not going to act yet. Keep it up, buddy. Come on, I'll take you guys to Wu'ai. It's less crowded there now. Normally, you have to go around four or five in the morning to stock up, and they close around ten. Old Xia, wanna come?"

Xia Maosheng said, "Let's go, it's boring to stay here. Let's buy some summer clothes, Xinghai and the others need to change their clothes too."

Geng Hui said, "You guys go ahead, I'm not going to squeeze in, I can't buy clothes anyway. I'll go find Aunt Wang, there's an office here, Aunt Wang and I will discuss setting up the finance department, Chen Hui can give us some money, we need to buy a lot of things."

Chen Hui asked, "How much?" and walked towards his car.

Geng Hui said, "It'll cost at least a few hundred yuan, including ledgers, calculators, pens, and some small items like document bags, boxes, staples, pen holders, trash cans, scissors, and awls. Can you pick two people from your restaurant to come over? They should be decent, preferably with a high school education."

Chen Hui took 10,000 yuan out of the glove box and handed it to Geng Hui, saying, "Are you transferring people from the restaurant? Why don't we wait a bit? We'll recruit people in the next few days, and we can bring a few over together, okay? Li Na needs people too. How are we going to pay the people transferred from the restaurant? We can't pay them the same here as at the restaurant, can we?"

Geng Hui asked, "How much do your restaurant's waiters/waitresses earn?"

Chen Hui said, "The basic salary is three hundred, but there are many other sources of income over there, such as bonuses and commissions. All sorts of miscellaneous income can easily amount to a little over a thousand or seven or eight hundred a month. It's impossible to earn that much here. Four hundred yuan is the most you can get."

Geng Hui said, "It makes me want to work as a waitress. The maximum salary here is three or four hundred, which is higher than the average salary for an average citizen."

Xia Maosheng said, "I think you and Aunt Wang need to first figure out the entire company's salary system, including basic salary, grade-based salary, position-based salary, performance-based salary, bonus system, reward system, commission and subsidies, and job benefits. Right now, there are only a few people, and if there aren't any standards, things will easily get chaotic when the company grows."

Chen Hui said, "That's right. For this part, let's use Geng Hui's ICBC payroll system as a template. You and Aunt Wang can refer to the parts we have now and modify them to make them as balanced as possible. We'll implement it as soon as the company is established. As for HR, how about I talk to Li Na this afternoon and have her come over? Let's set up the general affairs department and get HR sorted out first. We need to assign positions."

Xia Maosheng nodded and said, "I think it's a good idea. Once these two pieces are formed, the rest will be easier. You guys take these two pieces and get them roughly done, then let Xiaowei make the final decision."

Xinghai said, "If we're hiring, how about people from our area? They're all capable, hardworking, really."

Liu Liu said, "Forget it, it's so far away, where would we stay? All that money would be gone if we went through all that trouble, and everything here costs money."

Chen Hui looked at Xia Maosheng, who thought for a moment and said, "I think factory workers, restaurant assistants and general laborers are all fine, but we have to be selective about waiters. I think if we had a group of people from Xiaowei's hometown, it would be very stable. They would definitely be easier to work with than city kids, and we would feel more at ease with them."

Chen Hui said, "I feel the same way. Once the company is up and running, let's recruit a group from Xiaowei's county, mainly high school students and people from Xiaowei's village. Xinghai, when you go back this time, go around and ask around to see how many people want to come. Tell them that they'll get at least 300 yuan a month, with room and board included."

Xia Maosheng said, "We need reliable people, don't bring any troublemakers. Someone like Zhang Fu is definitely not suitable. Also, don't mention Xiao Wei's situation, just say that you can find work. We're hiring more women than men here, so keep that in mind. And find more tall and pretty girls, they earn more."

Chen Hui said, "Why don't we just contact the county high school directly? As long as they're under 25, they're fine with it."

Xia Maosheng said, "They're all that old, they must be married by now, right? Is that even possible?"

Chen Hui said, "We're just setting some conditions; whether they come or not is their own decision. Are you trying to steal it?"

Xia Maosheng nodded and said, "That's true, alright then."

Xinghai scratched his head and said, "How many people can we use in total? There will definitely be quite a few. With this opportunity, food and lodging are provided, and people would definitely be willing to come for a salary of three or four hundred."

Chen Hui laughed and said, "How many young people are there in your village, no, in your county? And they have to have gone to school, at least junior high, right? They have to be between sixteen and twenty-five years old, how many can there be? Don't worry, we can arrange for everyone who can come, and we might not even have enough."

Xia Maosheng said, "We're about to open four or five restaurants and a large food factory here. We'll definitely need five or six hundred workers in total. We'll open more later. If the people who come here do well, they'll have the opportunity to become foremen or managers in the future."

Xinghai was startled and said, "Five or six hundred people? My God, how much must their salaries be per month? You guys are really rich."

Chen Hui said, "By the way, we need to find some guys like Ga Zi, honest and good at fighting, reliable ones. The starting salary is 500 a month. I'll take as many as you can find. It would be even better if they were soldiers."

Xia Maosheng looked at Chen Hui and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Hui said, "Fighting, what else can we do? Look at what happened in Andong last time, and now with the water cave. We're not short of money, it's safer to bring some people with us when we go out. Besides, as we open more shops in the future, we'll need a few people to keep things under control, right? You expect a bunch of young girls to step in?"
