commercial street
I took the elders shopping until after four o'clock in the afternoon.
There was also news from the 4S store that the car had a license plate and could now be driven there.
"Dad, father-in-law, we are almost done shopping. The staff at the 4S store sent me a message saying that the car has been registered and we can drive away."
"Oh? Let's go then."
Upon hearing this, Albert Su immediately replied, obviously impatient to get into his luxury car.
Even if he tried his best to suppress it, there was no way to completely suppress this excitement.
Take the elders back to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.
The salespeople inside immediately came to greet Su Youwei after seeing him.
"Mr. Su, the Mercedes-Benz S400 and Mercedes-Benz GLS you purchased have already been issued license plates. Here is the key."
While the salesman was talking, he also handed over the key.
"Okay." Su Youwei nodded slightly, then handed the keys to his father and father-in-law.
"Youwei, what about our car?"
After getting the car key, Albert Su thought of a question.
They drove here. Now that the car has driven here, how do they drive back?
What to do next?
Sell?
Although they now have luxury cars, they were really reluctant to sell the car that had been with them for many years.
For a man, a car is no less than a second wife.
Over time, you will develop feelings for the car.
"In this case, I'll find someone to drive it back to the villa, and I'll find a place to put it in at the same time. If I sell it, I won't get much money. How about keeping it as a souvenir?"
Su Youwei took the initiative to suggest that he knew what a car that had protected the family from wind and rain for many years meant to a man.
That's extraordinarily different.
Just like the daughter-in-law who accompanied him when he was starting from scratch.
But now that you have money, trading in a luxury car is like a yellow-faced woman trading in a college student.
Of course, this is just a metaphor.
He didn't intend to let his elders drive the car back.
When the car goes back and is parked in my hometown, if some acquaintances want to use it, they might ask to borrow it.
It’s hard to refuse if you refuse.
But you can't borrow a car casually. If something happens, you won't be able to fix it.
It would be a lot of trouble to drive back to my hometown and park it, so it would be better to park it here.
My father and father-in-law occasionally wanted to watch it, just to reminisce about it.
“Okay, then follow your decision, in-laws, what do you think?” Albert Su agreed.
"I think it's okay." Yang Hong worked at the construction site and knew Su Youwei's thoughts.
If you stop here, you can indeed save a lot of trouble.
But he also thought that if Su Youwei found a place to park, it wouldn't be more expensive than their fare for a few years, right?
Considering that every inch of land is so valuable, it’s not impossible.
After thinking about it, his son-in-law will naturally make arrangements, so he doesn't need to worry so much.
After discussing the solution.
Everyone drove their cars back.
My father and father-in-law also drove their brand new cars.
Su Youwei noticed that when they sat on it, they were all smiling.
With two old cars, he asked the people at the 4S shop to help him drive to the villa.
At the same time, he also sent a message to Liu Mingfeng, asking him to find three garages to park the three old cars he had replaced.
He has one car, his father has one car, and his father-in-law has one car.
I'll probably just look at it when I'm feeling nostalgic in the future, so I might as well find a three-car garage to park it in instead of occupying the garage of my villa.
The garage of the villa is used to park commonly used vehicles.
After making arrangements, the family returned to their residence all the way.
Inside the Mercedes-Benz S400.
Albert Su put his hands on the steering wheel.
He has been driving for many years and is an experienced driver, but he prefers to keep both hands on the steering wheel.
He was carrying close relatives in his car, and putting his hands on them would give him a greater sense of security.
This is also a personal habit.
Albert Su opened the window, and suddenly wanted to open the window a little to blow in the wind, so he rolled it down smoothly.
In an instant, a chilly wind blew in.
Oops!
"Hey~ Why did you open the window?" Ye Xiu asked from the passenger seat.
"Ahem. I want to experience what it feels like to sit in a million-dollar car and blow the wind." Albert Su explained awkwardly.
"." Ye Xiu rolled his eyes at his old man: "Hurry up and close it!"
Albert Su quickly closed the window.
After a while.
"Old lady, you think our life is complete now."
"This brat has grown up. He is no longer the brat that still needed us to lead him around and clamored for us to hold him."
"Yes, my son is promising."
The old couple in the car were very happy. All the things that were weighing on their minds were gone and they felt much more relaxed.
If there is a definition of perfection in a person's life, it would probably be family harmony, good health, wealth and freedom, and the hope that one's children will be successful and have children and grandchildren.
These conditions, in a sense, they have now achieved.
In the evening, Li Xin led many staff members to deliver clothes to Su Youwei one by one.
After taking away my own, my wife's and Yangyang's, there were still many.
That belongs to my elders.
Taking Li Xin with him, Su Youwei went to the Five Seasons Hotel.
Send clothes to elders.
According to Li Xin's preparation, each person has five sets of winter clothes.
There are a total of thirty-five sets, worth more than three hundred thousand, with an average price of nearly ten thousand per piece.
This price range is slightly worse than private customization.
After delivering the clothes to his elders, Su Youwei sat for a while and then returned home.
At nine o'clock in the evening, he checked the work report sent by Li Chuanwen as usual.
The revenue data of the eleven new stores has been rising steadily. It has now reached 700,000 a day, which is on an upward trend. There are no surprises.
Good Times has not made any moves and seems to be preparing for long-term competition with the butler service.
It is impossible to have a monopoly on something that everyone can do.
The most important thing is to accumulate customers in the early stage.
Now that Good Time has completed this step, there is no need to continue to burn money and compete with the butler service.
Then Li Chuanwen has negotiated cooperation with two schools.
The process was smooth and the results were great.
Judging from the results of the negotiations with the two schools, it will not be a big problem to cooperate with more schools in the future.
In other words, the issue of ordinary employees has basically been solved.
The next thing that needs to be addressed is management.
At present, the management of housekeeping services is still lacking.
If you want to solve it directly, you can directly recruit some talents with management experience.
In the current environment of massive layoffs and unemployment, it is not difficult to recruit some talents with management experience.
But after thinking about it for a while, Su Youwei didn't plan to do that for the time being.
First of all, in fact, the management required for butler service is not too high-level. Supervisors and store managers need a little training to understand the operation of butler service and understand management knowledge.
It's easy to get started, and if you choose from within the staff, it will be quick to train.
Even if you recruit some talents with management experience, it will still take time to adapt.
Combined, it's actually pretty much the same.
And if you promote your own employees, it will have a good motivating effect on other employees.
Secondly, the current expansion of butler services is actually very fast. If it is faster, even if the talents can keep up, his funds are limited, and he is bound to not be able to make too much progress at one time.
In less than half a year, fifteen stores were opened.
This may not be comparable to the giants, but based on his current expansion model.
After a while, the number of stores will be larger, and the speed of cultivating talents will be faster.
With more stores, we can train talents faster.
Then he will definitely make money faster. When the time comes, there will be no shortage of talents, and he will definitely not be short of funds.
When the time comes, opening more stores will be a matter of his words.
Precisely because he knew this, Su Youwei did not recruit store managers or supervisors.
In his work report, Li Chuanwen explained that while reaching cooperation with the school, he was also asking about subsequent expansion plans.
Su Youwei thought about it and decided that he really needed to explain this to Li Chuanwen.
After having a clear plan, Li Chuanwen could arrange the next things.
However, now that more and more stores are served by butlers, it is time to promote regional managers.
After thinking about it, he sent some messages to Li Chuanwen.
Su Youwei: [The subsequent expansion plan will first be prepared according to the scale of fifteen stores. The current fifteen stores must reserve talents. When store managers, supervisors, and employees are almost fully reserved, we can then discuss the opening time of new stores. . 】
Su Youwei: [As the number of stores increases, it is also time to formulate the assessment of regional managers. There will be one manager for every fifteen stores. The fifteen stores that are currently operating normally will need one regional manager, and the fifteen new stores in the future will also need one. If there is a regional manager, then promote two more first. 】
Su Youwei: [The regional manager will ask the store manager to conduct a fair and impartial assessment. If you are capable, you can do it. If you are not capable, you will be the store manager first. For subsequent expansion, the construction, management, and operation of new stores should be left to the regional manager. You can As the general store manager, you can’t worry about everything yourself. 】
Su Youwei told Li Chuanwen his idea, and his meaning was very clear. If the regional manager wants to do it, he must be capable.
If he is not capable enough, his brother-in-law cannot directly become a regional manager.
Management is already involved in the lifeblood of the enterprise and cannot be messed with.
Li Chuanwen: [Understood. 】
Li Chuanwen responded briefly, but the answer was an answer, and his work began next.
In addition to these two things, Li Chuanwen also mentioned how to arrange things during the New Year holiday.
Under normal circumstances, their butler service requires someone to stay behind even during the Chinese New Year to continue completing orders.
If you do this, you will need to pay more to make employees stay willingly.
Housekeeping service is indeed special. For service-type jobs, generally the shop cannot be closed even during the Chinese New Year and needs to provide normal services.
But Su Youwei didn't want to be too conventional.
It's not a bad idea to take a holiday. When everyone insists on employees going to work, if they choose to take a holiday and make an announcement, it might be a different kind of advertisement and make customers pay attention to their company.
The most important thing is that most people are looking forward to being reunited during the New Year when they are wandering away all year round.
He can also afford to close the store for a period of time.
So why not let your employees have a good year?
After thinking about it, I decided to let the employees decide this matter themselves and see if many people are willing to stay and work during the New Year.
If there are more, we can continue to open stores during the Chinese New Year.
If not much, just take a holiday.
After thinking about it, Su Youwei informed Li Chuanwen of his decision.
Ask him to conduct a survey among employees to see what they think.
A few days later, Liu Mingfeng sent a message.
Liu Mingfeng: [Mr. Su, the villa has been tidied up and can be moved in normally. 】
Su Youwei: [Okay, okay, you can find a nearby hotel to book fifty tables for me and hold a banquet. The price per table can be no more than ten thousand. 】
Su Youwei: [In addition, contact some buses. I will give you an address and time. When the time comes, the bus masters will go there to pick you up. 】
Liu Mingfeng: [Okay. 】
As for the number of people, Su Youwei has already counted the relatives who are coming.
Maybe a little more than Su Youwei expected.
Su Youwei is buying a house in Pengcheng, which can be said to be a big deal. It is much more powerful than buying in the county or city.
Moreover, Su Youwei chartered a car to pick him up and drop him off, and the banquet was held in Pengcheng.
It showed that Su Youwei was really prosperous. Whether they were really congratulations or just wanted to look familiar, there were many people coming.
According to current statistics, 326 people have agreed to come.
However, for banquets, the more people come, the more respectable the host will be, which is a good thing.
It is just a place to serve wine and it has made a fortune, so it should be more grand.
Even if a homeless person comes to eat and drink, Su Youwei will still ask the hotel to arrange a table!
People compete for a breath of air, and Buddhas compete for a stick of incense. If you don't make it public when you are rich, then when will you make it public?
As for your fear that your relatives will find out about your wealth, and then a bunch of relatives will come to you for help and borrow money?
Su Youwei has his own code of conduct for this.
If the relative who comes really needs help, has a good relationship, and the two families have contacts and have helped each other, then help should be given.
If the relatives who come here are not easy to reach and rarely interact with each other, but now that they know that their family is rich, they will lick their faces and try to get some benefits.
Su Youwei only had two words: No way!
He really doesn't like to be bound by various rules and relationships. It can also be said that he likes "real freedom."
In order to make money, he can only do some jobs that he doesn't like.
But he has always followed his own rules when it comes to dealing with interpersonal relationships.
There is going to be contact, and on the premise of mutual respect, if you need help, help him if you can.
That kind of relationship is average, and if you feel confident asking him for help, he won't even bother.
The so-called "it's hard to talk to relatives" means that it's hard to say harsh words and it's hard to save face.
But Su Youwei will not lose face when it comes to relatives who are indifferent.
If the other party can be shameless, then what else does he have to worry about?
True freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but being able to say no to things you don’t want to do.
next day
Butler service
Li Chuanwen also held a meeting to ask the store managers below to conduct a survey on their willingness to work during the New Year.
Zhang Baolin asked in the group: [General store manager, do you need to do ideological work for employees to make them as willing as possible? 】
Well, Zhang Baolin has gradually become a qualified store manager.
Li Chuanwen: [No need, just let employees fill it out by themselves. The company follows employees’ opinions. 】
