When will I have a long tassel?

The term "Zhuge Liang Meeting" is very popular in the system. It originates from the saying "three stooges are worth one Zhuge Liang". It is actually just a staff meeting to brainstorm ideas.

There are more than 30 employees in the East District store. Excluding those who are on leave and those who need to work at the counter, there are a total of seventeen or eight people here. Zheng Bin's manager's office couldn't accommodate so many people, so he moved the meeting to a corner of the warehouse.

As soon as the meeting began, Zhang Jianyang said straight to the point:

"Dear masters, Assistant Tang has brought us instructions from Director Zhou. Director Zhou hopes that our labor service company can change its business concepts and expand its ideas, not only to turn losses into profits, but also to become the most profitable department in the whole factory. .

Just now, Assistant Tang and I went to the East District Food Market and had an in-depth discussion with the food market employees. Inspired by Assistant Tang, the chefs at the East District Market put forward many rational suggestions, which can have a very good effect on improving the operation of the market.

"Among them, a plan put forward by Master Hong Liu, the person in charge of the East District vegetable market, was fully affirmed by Assistant Tang. Master Hong believes that the market can change its business model, abandon the model of purchasing and selling by itself, and rent stalls to farmers in the suburbs. Let these suburban farmers come to the factory to sell vegetables for the convenience of the masses.

"Assistant Tang and I calculated that if we rent out stalls, the Eastern District Food Market alone, in addition to paying the current employees' wages and water and electricity expenses, can also turn over nearly 200,000 yuan in profits to the company a year. This is a Very big change.

"Assistant Tang asked us to use our brains, learn from the experience of the East District market, actively analyze the problems existing in the operation of our East District store, use our brains, and work together to find a purpose that will not affect the convenience of the people and can achieve a turnaround. A way to hand over profits to the company. Think about it, is there any good way?"

Having said this, he patrolled the entire place for a week, but what he received was a bunch of indifferent expressions. Most of the employees in the labor service company are family members of factory employees, mainly women. They don't know how to work together. After hearing Zhang Jianyang's convoluted words, they didn't bother to think about it. Many aunties took out their sweater needles and balls of thread and began to knit sweaters attentively.

"Hey, hey, what's going on with you?" Zheng Bin couldn't explain it away. He pointed at a few women knitting sweaters and scolded: "Did you hear what Manager Zhang just said? It's working time now. If you put away your sweaters and do private work during working hours, your wages will be deducted, do you know?"

Sure enough, the women stopped and hid all the thread and other objects in an instant. However, before Zhang Jianyang could breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered that they had already taken out melon seeds from somewhere. After giving in to each other, they started to eat melon seeds.

"What are you..., Huang Liting, why don't you tell me first, don't you usually like to talk?" Zheng Bin was so angry that he couldn't do anything about these people. He is not a family worker, but a regular employee sent by the factory. He usually hangs out among these women and is often annoyed by them. In desperation, he had no choice but to start ordering, and he chose Huang Liting, the female worker in the store who usually likes to give advice.

Huang Liting is a young woman in her early 30s. Her clothes are more fashionable than other women, and she is a little more pretty. Especially in her eyes, Tang Zifeng can even feel some rippling. Hearing Zheng Bin call her name, Huang Liting put down the melon seeds, smoothed her hair and asked:

"Manager Zheng, what do you want us to say?"

"That's what Manager Zhang said just now. What do you think?"

"Ideas? No, I think Manager Zhang is very wise. Yeah, Assistant Tang is even wiser."

"Assistant Tang asked us to brainstorm and come up with some plans to improve the operation and management of our East District store. Can you take the lead and propose a few?"

"Plan?" Huang Liting looked at Zhang Jianyang and said, "Didn't Manager Zhang just tell you how to do the market? Then let's learn from it and rent out each counter, and we can make money sitting there."

"That's right, let's just make money by renting out the counters." Other women also agreed in a disorderly manner.

After all, Zheng Bin has been a store manager for several years, and he still clearly distinguishes the difference between a store and a food market. He hesitated and said: "Well... the situation in our store is still different from that of the market, so we can't copy it completely."

"Then I have nothing to do." Huang Liting said simply, "I am just a dependent with no job and no education, so I can't think of any good solutions. I heard that Assistant Tang is a top student at Renmin University, so there must be many solutions. Otherwise, just ask Assistant Tang to come up with a solution, and we'll just do it."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Tang Zifeng, and Tang Zifeng felt a Qiantang tide rushing towards him, which made him kneel down.

This sister-in-law is really a divine person.

Tang Zifeng muttered secretly in his heart. He coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said, "I don't have any good ideas. I have a few questions that I want to ask Manager Zheng first. I don't know if it's appropriate or not."

Zheng Bin quickly expressed his position: "Assistant Tang, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Tang Zifeng asked: "I would like to know how many employees our East District store currently has?"

"There are 38 people in total."

"What is the typical salary of employees?"

"It used to be 70 yuan a month. Now the economic situation in the factory is not good. We haven't paid wages for two months."

"So how much gross profit does the store make in a year?"

"This is not easy to calculate. We purchased some goods but never sold them, so the money was stuck in inventory. Calculated based on the goods sold, our annual purchase-sales price difference is about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. "

"So, your income is enough to pay wages?"

Zheng Bin smiled bitterly and said: "How can we pay wages? We have put so many goods on the shelves, it is all money, and we have to pay interest. Some food has expired and has to be disposed of, and these losses must be accounted for." In terms of costs. Add in water, electricity, gas, etc., and we still have a net loss throughout the year."

Tang Zifeng nodded, then suddenly turned his head to everyone and said, "Everyone has heard that our store's annual gross profit is 50,000 yuan, but when all expenses are calculated, it exceeds 50,000 yuan, so our store has a net loss. Yes. If I give you a policy, as long as you can turn the store into a profit, the factory will use 20% of the profit to give you bonuses. Are you willing to give it a try?"

"What do you mean?" Several female workers raised their heads in surprise and asked. What Tang Zifeng said before, they heard it in one ear and out the other, and didn't take it to heart at all. But Tang Zifeng's last words were about giving bonuses to everyone, and they all heard it, so they couldn't help but inquire about the details of bonuses.

Huang Liting looked at Tang Zifeng with big bright eyes and asked: "Assistant Tang, you mean that if the gross profit of our store can increase to 100,000 yuan next year, then you will spend at least 5,000 yuan to pay us. Bonus, right?”

"The premise is that your costs cannot increase. For example, the account for inventory cannot increase, utility bills cannot increase, and the number of employees cannot increase." Tang Zifeng said.

"Oh." Huang Liting responded and then said nothing.

After Huang Liting interpreted it this way, others understood it and started talking among themselves. A bonus of 5,000 yuan is divided equally into more than 100 yuan per person, which is not a small amount of money. No one wants to make this money. However, the prerequisite for making this money is to increase the store's gross profit by 50,000 yuan, which is a bit difficult. You know, the store's gross profit per year was only 50,000 yuan before. Now it is not easy to double it.

With the stimulation of profit, everyone's enthusiasm increased, and soon some people began to make rational suggestions, such as extending business hours, increasing product types, being more friendly when customers come to buy things, etc. From what they said, everyone's service attitude seemed to be a bit unsatisfactory before. Is the rule "no beating or scolding customers" also posted in the middle of the store?

"Xiao Huang, please say a few words." Someone noticed Huang Liting's silence and began to greet her.

"That's right, Xiao Huang usually has the best ideas. Please tell me how we can make an extra 50,000 yuan." Others started making noises together. It seems that this young woman named Huang Liting has some prestige in the store, and the few words she just said were much more organized and clear than other employees.

Huang Liting looked at the crowd, suddenly smiled lightly, and said, "What's so hard about making an extra 50,000 yuan a year, but only if I can have the final say."

At this point, she turned to Tang Zifeng again, stared at his face and said: "Assistant Tang, do you dare the factory to contract the East District store to me? If the factory agrees to let me contract it, it will reach more than 100,000 yuan next year. The gross profit, after deducting wages, water and electricity, is at least 30,000 yuan in profit to be handed over to the company."

"contract?"

Everyone was shocked. The first reaction of the employees was to turn to look at the manager Zheng Bin, because Huang Liting's idea was simply trying to seize Zheng Bin's power. Can Zheng Bin tolerate it? Zhang Jianyang and Zheng Bin subconsciously turned to look at Tang Zifeng, wondering what Tang Zifeng thought of this.

Tang Zifeng narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Liting, feeling very emotional. When he met Huang Liting's eyes just now, he realized that this woman was not simple, but he didn't expect that she had such a big heart and wanted to contract the East District store. From the decisiveness in her words, Tang Zifeng could guess that her idea was definitely not a whim just now, but had been planned for a long time.

There must be a brave woman under the heavy reward.
