The idea of ​​setting up a "music cafe" on the second floor came up from Hong Yanwu.

It took a full twenty days before the renovation, recruitment, training, and search for a person in charge started before the business was opened.

There's no way around it. There are too many things to do and too many distractions to deal with. This is already considered fast.

I won’t say much about the two candidates for the person in charge.

Hong Yanwu made the decision after many considerations and investigations.

But even recruiting workers is a troublesome thing, because it involves more human relationships.

To be honest, in mid-May, as soon as the service company showed this intention, it caused a commotion among the company and the factory.

If nothing else, the service company earns more and is already famous.

People in the factory either want to be transferred in themselves, or they ask their relatives to come.

And the service company's own people also don't want their wealth to flow into the fields of outsiders.

I have relatives at home who are unemployed young people or fresh graduates who feel there is no hope of getting into college.

They also looked for Shui Qing and Hong Yanwu privately, hoping to take care of them.

The most troublesome thing is that the heads of all departments in the factory have this idea.

Even the deputy secretary licked his face and greeted Shui Qing, hoping to take care of his nephew.

Think about it, if you don't handle this well, it will be easy for people to hate you.

Not to mention it will affect the unity within the company and make employees feel depressed.

If it doesn't work well, it will damage relationships in all directions.

After that, doing things with the factory would not be so smooth.

So the commotion caused by this incident made Shui Qing feel a little scared and had a headache.

Fortunately, Hong Yanwu was not even able to handle this matter smoothly.

By the time "the takeout window was clear," he had basically figured out what to do.

The first is to consider the cost-effectiveness for employees and make a drastic decision first.

There is a bottom line for recruitment that must be adhered to, and that is only young men under the age of twenty-four.

Neither women nor older people are required, which will eliminate 60% of the favor.

Secondly, there is no need to consider the human feelings of ordinary people in the factory. They are best dismissed.

Since there are no side effects, just refuse it directly. This will get rid of 15% of the human burden.

It is indeed a bit powerful to do this, but what can we do?

The general trend of society is such that we cannot deliberately go against the grain and let the store bear unnecessary burdens.

Third, on the contrary, the favors of the heads of various departments in the factory must be sold, but they must try their best to deal with them.

Hong Yanwu's specific method was to "expose his own shortcomings" while fully agreeing, so that the other party could retreat on their own.

For example, which boss has personnel needs in this area?

Well, first print a copy of the company's reward and punishment system to them, and ask them to take it back and show it to anyone who wants to come.

If your relatives still want to come after seeing it.

Then take them to the store to experience the real busy and strictly managed work conditions.

In the end, I had to make it clear in person that I would start working the evening shift in March and have a break in case of rainy days.

The money will never be short, but the work is also tiring.

At this point, if the other party can still maintain the courage, then accept it without saying a word.

Because if you don't do it well, you may not be able to do it well.

In the worst case scenario, we can't continue to support ourselves the same way.

Fourth, you must be considerate towards your employees and do not hurt your own feelings.

But there is one thing. Service companies will never directly hire relatives of existing employees.

This is to facilitate internal management in the future and reduce the human factor in blood relationships.

So after everyone explained clearly, Hong Yanwu took disguised measures and arranged for the relatives of these employees to work in the factory.

Of course, it will definitely be better than the situation these young workers were in when they entered the factory, which reassures everyone.

Like Zhu Zhenfan and Zhang Shuping's biological brothers, Li Xiaodong's cousin, and his "butt-faced" cousin.

There were about ten people, all arranged in this way.

No one didn't understand, but they were very moved.

Because everyone knows the company's difficulties, and also knows that the company has gained favors for everyone. If they had to rely on themselves, such an outcome would be impossible.

Apart from anything else, it would be nice to become a worker in our factory.

How difficult it was for them when they first entered the factory.

So after returning to Bao Dui'er, there were only six or seven people who finally joined the company through various favors.

As for the remaining twenty-odd people, they are all good young men who fully meet the needs of the company and have good conditions.

Speaking of which, fortunately, the factory has set up an instant noodle workshop.

Because Factory Director Yang has already recruited a group of people from outside, even though it is said that the assessment is strict and no backdoor methods are used.

But in fact it is still impossible to completely eliminate it.

In this way, there are some people who are in good condition in all aspects but cannot enter an instant noodle factory.

Instead, Hong Yanwu took advantage of it and was hired into a service company.

If the whole account was really calculated, he would still have made a profit.

Of course, compared with personnel matters, it is more difficult to make progress in the renovation project.

Let me make it clear first, this is not because the Infrastructure Department is not cooperating or not doing its best.

In order to cooperate with Hong Yanwu, the chief of the infrastructure department not only stopped all the work inside the restaurant, but also added more manpower.

As for the people working down there, they often have a lot of exposure to the store.

I smoked cigarettes in vain, drank tea in vain, and even had two meals from Hong Yanwu, but I still worked hard without any effort.

The key is that these days, not only are construction materials very limited, but people engaged in this industry also have limitations in their cognition and knowledge.

To put it bluntly, the Infrastructure Department has built many houses, but almost all of them are of the same standard.

It's great, the bricks on the floor are better, the walls just have to be puttyed a few times.

I have never seen a master with so many fantastic ideas as Hong Yanwu.

Therefore, Hong Yanwu requested to lay outdoor wooden floors on the second floor area and stairs, and build a simple wooden pavilion and bar counter.

Whether it's materials or workmanship, they feel very embarrassed.

Later, Hong Yanwu went to his elder brother's factory to get the wood.

Mr. Shan’s daughter, Shan Xiangyun, who works in the Forbidden City construction team, was also invited to serve as technical director.

Only then did the Infrastructure Department know how to get started with this job.

Hong Yanwu also had to make adjustments based on the actual situation again. He saw that the decoration was so troublesome.

The "affordable area" that I had planned to keep has been cancelled. Let's just wear it all and don't have to worry about it twice in the future.

But the most annoying thing is the outdoor light box advertising.

The light box advertisements in Beijing appeared around 1980.

This novel form of advertising was not widely used initially and was mainly concentrated in business places such as commercial streets and hotels.

Needless to say, having such a self-illuminating advertising sign at night would be extremely cool on the streets of Beijing, where the overall environment was still dark at that time.

Since Hong Yanwu wanted to open an entertainment venue open at night, it was necessary to create a facade with the style of a ten-mile foreign market to attract people.

But because outdoor advertising was a monopoly industry at that time, the project quotation was too high.

The service company requested to produce two two-square-meter single-sided light box advertisements and two sixty-centimeter-diameter protruding double-sided round light boxes. The Municipal Gongmei Service Advertising Company actually quoted a sky-high price of more than 6,800.

Oh my god, this is enough for the entire service company’s basic salary for four months. It’s worth several large tile-roofed houses and half a car.

The problem is that to be honest, this seemingly "high-end" thing is actually not a big deal.

It's nothing more than a waterproof, insulated, heat-dissipating light box frame, plus a fluorescent tube and light box film.

Even a master like Hong Yanwu who never batted an eyelid at "killing people with a knife" was also shocked by the price.

Yes, there were no inkjet printers at that time, so relying on printing technology to produce patterned light box films was probably really high-tech.

But Hong Yanwu treated the other manager to a meal through Xiao Heping, who had worked at "Gongmei".

At that time, I said that no pattern was needed, and I just asked for a few artistic calligraphy on a white background.
