Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 876 Promotion

Xiao Wei said with a smile, "Hongliang's side is so much more worry-free; we don't have to worry about anything."

Xia Maosheng said, "By the way, shouldn't we shout loudly?"

Xiao Wei said, "Don't call her. Li Bing is making a fuss. Let him stay home and keep her company. After Li Bing gives birth, I plan to put her in charge of the food chain management and have her oversee things in Zhongjie."

Chen Hui said, "Actually, Yu Qiu is a good comrade, and Shan Hongmei is also good, reliable. It's just that I don't know what they're really thinking. Hey, Yu Qiu hasn't come back yet, has he? It's been more than half a year, haven't you asked Shan Hongmei about it?"

Xiao Wei said, "I didn't ask. We've been busy ever since the school moved here. Actually, Shan Hongmei is basically the principal of our school now. She's the one who's making all the arrangements. I think it's great, and she likes it, so let her keep doing it. Let's finalize her official title and raise her salary."

Chen Hui said, "Let Wei Yun be the manager of the hotel management company; that girl is capable. The office will be located on Zhongjie Street."

Xia Maosheng said, "I think the manager should be Sister Jin, but it's okay to let Wei Yun be in charge normally. That girl isn't as reliable as Sister Jin. Let Sister Jin hold the reins for two years."

Xiao Wei said, "That's fine. Let Li Na and Sister Jin find their own successors and hand over the general affairs office and personnel department. If they become vice presidents, they can still manage these departments, which will make things easier for them and give them more time to manage external affairs."

Chen Hui said, "That's about right. There's still time. Once everything here is built, we'll have found enough people to use it. These next two years will be all about poaching and training people. As for Lao Wu, you still have the shopping mall area. Li Na is managing the one that's open now. You need to come over immediately and take over that business. We can take our time with the property management."

Li Xing said, "Damn, everyone else worked their way up from the bottom. Li Na and Sister Jin have been with Xiao Wei and Xiao Hui from the very beginning. You, on the other hand, are a manager right away. Let me tell you, pay attention, don't mess this up."

Huang Laowu laughed and said, "Definitely not, just you wait and see."

Xiao Wei said, "I won't talk to you about salary and benefits. The company has its own financial and salary/benefits system, and we'll follow that. The office will give you the documents when you arrive. Also, take a good look at the job description and related regulations. I'm telling you, if you don't pass Li Na's evaluation, there's nothing I can do."

As soon as the door opened, Li Na and Sister Jin walked in hand in hand. Li Na said, "What are you talking about me for? I heard you nagging me as soon as I got to the door."

Chen Hui said, "You two are talking about good things, but do you have anyone on your side? Hand over what you're doing now."

Xiao Wei said, "Hand over the office personnel and general affairs departments. You will all become vice presidents of the group. Li Na, you will still be in charge of personnel and the office, and also serve as the chairman of Rose Hotel. Sister Jin, you will be in charge of general affairs and property management, and also serve as the general manager of Anji Restaurant Management Company. Let Wei Yun be your deputy."

Sister Jin was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What is property management? When did this department come into being?"

Xiao Wei said, "We'll build it right away. From now on, the shopping mall and all our buildings and residential areas will be under the property management. This is Huang Laowu; he'll be the head of the property management department and also the mall manager. And what's your name, Laowu? We still don't know your real name."

Huang Laowu said, "Don't you know? Xiao Liwen said that my name is Huang Yaowu. Laowu is just a nickname people give me. I only have one brother."

Xia Maosheng said, "Actually, Xiao Liwen is quite capable. That girl has a pioneering spirit, but she's too young. I guess her family can't let her go out."

Xiao Wei said, "Let's forget about it. She's just a child who never grows up. She just needs to take care of Longcheng. We can open two more stores in Longcheng, and we can also consider opening a store in the shopping mall. We can leave everything to her then."

Xia Maosheng said, "Right now, the food factory there is only supplying the store with what it has. It can't produce anything more. They've stopped making steamed buns and such. I heard that some people outside are learning to do it. I wonder what the situation will be like after this place is built next year."

Xiao Wei said, "It's normal for people to learn how to do it. No business can stop others from doing it. Everyone does their own thing, and in the end, it all comes down to who gets what. We have Sister Shang, so we're not worried. It's just a bit of a pity that Sister Zhang and Sister Shang can't come. Especially Sister Shang, she's really a master."

Chen Hui said, "If you put Li Bing in charge of food management, what will happen to Chef Li?"

Xiao Wei said, "Master Li handles the technical aspects, which doesn't conflict with his work. He designs new products, teaches students, and is responsible for resolving all the technical equipment issues in the store. The store manager and other staff will receive regular training, and Master Li will be in charge of all of that."

Xia Maosheng said, "Once the hotel opens, it will definitely have Western food and pastries. Chef Li can be in charge of the entire pastry department."

Chen Hui asked, "Will the pastry shop be open to the public then?"

Xiao Wei said, "We definitely need to reach out to the public. People still trust high-end hotels and feel that they are classy. It's also a form of publicity. Whether we make money or not is secondary."

Li Xing asked, "Isn't that competing with yourself? You run a cake shop here."

Xiao Wei said, "They are different. The customer groups are different. Cake shops cater to ordinary people, while hotels cater to wealthy and high-class people. There is no conflict."

Chen Hui turned to Li Na and Sister Jin and asked, "How was today?"

Li Na said, "I've got the personnel roster back, and Sister Jin has checked the materials. Aunt Wang and the others are still checking the accounts over there; they'll probably be staying there tonight, which is a hassle. My side is the most relaxed. The chairman and vice president of the supply and marketing cooperative have left. I plan to hold a big meeting after I finish checking the accounts to decide on the remaining middle-level managers and employees."

Sister Jin said, "The Hong Kong people have all the accounts for the materials and stuff. I just checked them and got the ledgers back. Right now, the key is to stabilize morale and quickly arrange personnel, right? Also, the Hong Kong people are clearly not happy. You need to go over there quickly and meet with them to talk. Actually, I feel like this whole thing is a bit unethical; you handled things behind their backs."

Chen Hui said, "We're doing business with the supply and marketing cooperative, it has nothing to do with the Hong Kong people, so their anger won't affect us. We can do the business today and meet again tomorrow or the day after, right? Shouldn't we try to smooth things over? We'll see then, if their attitude is good, we'll continue cooperating, if not, then it's over. I've thought it through, if it doesn't work out, I'll go to Hong Kong and find a partner, there are plenty of hotel management companies there."

Xiao Wei turned to look at Chen Hui and said, "Oh, your tone has changed. Where does this confidence come from?"

Chen Hui chuckled and said, "I called my mom, and she said it's a small matter. If necessary, she'll contact them in Hong Kong. My dad has friends there too." He paused for a moment, then continued, "My mom said that Changyun is just a small company in Hong Kong, without any particularly important resources. It's just that because it's in Hong Kong, it has some contact with the hotel industry, and then it hired a few half-baked industry insiders and came over."

Xiao Wei said, "Even if they're not familiar with it yet, they've been working here for so many years and they're already familiar with it. They also understand our market situation very well, you understand? Now we're recruiting people from Hong Kong. They may be very professional, but they don't understand our market at all. The possibility of them not adapting to the local environment is too high. After all, this is the mainland market, which is completely different from Hong Kong and other countries."

Chen Hui said, "That's true, okay, let's talk about it first. By the way, the beer equipment is arriving, what should we do with it?"
