Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 986 It's not a big deal if it's only 18,000.

Hao Xiaodong said, "We need three main operators, six assistant operators, three plumbers and three electricians, specifically boiler operators and electricians. Make sure you get them all right. Also, get two or three repairmen, all of them for oil-fired boilers. We need to confirm this."

Xia Maosheng wrote it down and said, "Dong-ge, give the phone to Xiaowei."

Hao Xiaodong handed the phone back to Xiao Wei, and Xia Maosheng said, "Where am I supposed to get it?"

Xiao Wei said, "Lao Wu said the housing bureau, you can ask them, or have Uncle Wang ask them. They say there are quite a few laid-off workers now, we'll hire them. They have to be experienced."

Xia Maosheng said, "Okay, I'll ask." He then hung up the phone.

Xiao Wei asked Hao Xiaodong, "What's the difference between what I said and what you said? We both agree that a stoker isn't good enough, right?"

Hao Xiaodong said, "It's feasible, but the cost will be high. There's a huge difference in wages between the boiler operator and the plumber/electrician. If you bring over twenty boiler operators, you'll have to pay them half again as much each month."

Huang Laowu chuckled as he lounged on the sofa, saying, "Brother Dong, you don't need it. Xiaowei isn't short of ten thousand or eighty thousand yuan."

Xiao Wei said, "I didn't understand, but now I know."

Hao Xiaodong said, "That's it. Xiao Bo and I will take turns leading the shifts; he'll lead the day shift and I'll lead the night shift."

Xiao Wei said, "You two will be class monitors, both working the day shift. After that, we can just appoint a group leader for each class."

Huang Laowu asked, "Two squad leaders?"

Xiao Wei said, "Not only that, we'll need one more person. In the future, we'll need three boiler teams here in Fengtian, maybe even four. Then there will be one for each of the following cities. In two years, I'll have several hundred boiler teams under my command."

Hao Xiaodong said, "There's nothing to worry about later. If we're not in a rush, we can train them ourselves and they can just get a certificate later."

Xiao Wei said, "What you're saying sounds pretty scary. Are you confident you can train them yourself?"

Hao Xiaodong laughed and said, "There are a few things that aren't dangerous, even driving is dangerous. This thing depends on the person; a careless personality definitely won't work, you have to be attentive. The operation itself isn't difficult, just remember a few key points, the main thing is a sense of responsibility."

Chen Hui said, "The same rice is cooked by a hundred different people. You cook it differently, but it's all the same ingredients, cooked the same way. Some people cook it well, and some people cook it badly."

Xiao Wei asked Chen Hui, "Yeah, I'm wondering about that too. Why do you think that is?"

Chen Hui said, "You're just not putting your heart into it. You can't get anything done well if you're not focused. Dong Ge, how old are your kids? Why haven't you mentioned transferring schools?"

Hao Xiaodong said, "I'm ten years old, and Xiaobo is eleven; we're both in third grade. I'm thinking of sorting things out first, there's no rush."

Xiao Wei said, "I'll have someone pick up your relocation permit tomorrow. You can handle the paperwork yourself, okay? Go find Liu Huasheng in Longcheng. Didn't you meet him? Kid, go report for duty tomorrow. It's Wednesday today, let's postpone it for two more days."

We're going on a business trip tomorrow and might not be back for over a week. Please take these few days to settle things at home and familiarize yourselves with everything. My sister-in-law is coming to the factory to report for duty tomorrow; we're short-staffed. Please take care of things at home from now on; my sister-in-law might be quite busy.

Hao Xiaodong said, "Okay, whatever you say goes. I'll do whatever you say."

Xiao Wei called the police station and the school to explain the situation. Transferring household registration and changing schools can be incredibly difficult if you don't have connections, but if you do, it's really no big deal—just a matter of getting a stamp.

Huang Laowu said, "Have they finished talking? What about me? What will happen to me?"

Chen Hui said, "Go to Li Na's place to register, fill out the forms and stuff, then go downstairs and just pick any room as your office. Li Na will give you the department setup and job descriptions; familiarize yourself with them first and get the department set up. The company photo will take a few more days to come."

By the way, the Freedom Market area is temporarily being managed by Manager Zhang of the Trade City. You just need to focus on your own business, understand all the company's properties, create a file, and record the rent and area of ​​each location.

Every location needs a management team to handle security, sanitation, vehicles, garbage, water and electricity, fee collection, equipment and facility maintenance, daily order management, and dealing with water, electricity, and sanitation departments. When we open a new location, your team needs to be there first.

Huang Laowu said, "Damn, it feels like being a nanny? None of us even own a house!"

Xiao Wei said, "That's about right. It's both management and service, but mainly service. Houses are everywhere, and you'll need them in every city in the future, so this part is quite crucial. You need to adapt quickly and build up your team."

Old Huang's face twitched as he said, "I knew that rushing in wouldn't end well. Where am I supposed to find so many people? Are they in every city? They might as well just kill me."

Xiao Wei said, "The personnel group recruits centrally, while your team is basically all veterans. Then you just need to recruit a few girls from various places. Your main job is to get this business running smoothly, establish rules and regulations, build up the team and assign tasks as soon as possible, and then supervise, inspect, allocate personnel, and handle problems."

Huang Laowu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to travel a lot for work from now on?"

Chen Hui said, "Isn't it good to go on business trips? You can travel around and see the sights. If you feel you have any trustworthy friends you can call to help you, it's easier to get things done if you have a few acquaintances."

In the future, factories, hotels, office buildings, and all our residential communities will need to have security guards, like the military, standing guard and patrolling, both day and night. And things like elevators, streetlights, corridor lights, public restrooms, and other public facilities will all need to be properly managed.

Maintaining cleanliness is essential, followed by collecting fees for water, electricity, sanitation, heating, and management. Managing bicycles and cars within the area, and addressing issues like residents throwing or piling things away, are all relatively easy tasks, just tedious and involve a lot of space.

Hao Xiaobo asked, "Then, why don't the shops in the mall have security guards?" The bruises on his face hadn't completely faded, but the swelling had gone down, and he looked quite dark.

Xiao Wei said, "Yes, but it's not under Lao Wu's jurisdiction. We have a security department that's responsible for the security of the mall stores and headquarters, including the security of employees on business trips."

Huang Laowu said, "Doesn't this sound different? It's like they're a cut above me."

Chen Hui said, "They're fundamentally different. You're just putting on a show of providing services, while they're fighting and arresting people. How can they be the same?"

Huang Laowu rubbed his face: "Damn. This is so shameless."

Xiao Wei said, "Lao Wu, you need to change that. You talk too much. You need to tone it down. You're managing a company now."

Huang Laowu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll change. I'm gay, and I whistle a lot. I'll change, I definitely will."

Chen Hui said, "From now on, our neighborhood will be full of rich people and officials. You'll get into trouble if you whistle, understand? And don't put on airs in front of your own people. Putting on airs is for outsiders. Putting on airs in front of your own people is called being a bully at home. Only a coward is a bully at home."

Huang Laowu said, "That's an insult! Am I that kind of person?"

Xiao Wei said, "You're alright, but you need to manage your subordinates well. As the number of people increases, their backgrounds will become more diverse. I suggest that you use veterans as your leaders in various regions; at least you can be sure of their discipline."
