Cao Zhiqiang didn't believe Xu Huizhen's compliment at all.
And from Xu Huizhen's eyes and expression, Cao Zhiqiang also knew that the other party must have misunderstood him and thought that he was attracted to Xu Jingping.
But then I thought about it, it was okay for the other party to think so.
If he didn't think so, he might not be able to spend it if he wanted to send money to Xu Jingping in the future.
Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang figured it out. With Xu Jingping's character, if he directly gave her money, she would definitely not accept it.
At this time, someone needs to persuade her.
There is a high probability that Xu Jingli will not be able to do it. After all, judging from some signs, she seems to have a good impression of herself.
Therefore, if Xu Jingli is asked to persuade her sister to accept her kindness, even if she does it reluctantly, the effect will not be good.
This Xu Huizhen is different.
Xu Hui is really Xu Jingping's mother, and she obviously loves money.
As long as she shows enough strength, she, as a mother, should not object to her giving Xu Jingping benefits.
And even if it doesn't work out in the end, she, as a mother, would probably be happy to spend money on Xu Jingping.
As a small businessman, you must be a bastard who doesn't make money when you are cheap.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang decided not to waste time with Xu Jingping, but instead started with Xu Huizhen.
As long as Xu Huizhen is dealt with, it will not be difficult to deal with Xu Jingping.
"Auntie, you are joking." Cao Zhiqiang smiled at Xu Huizhen, "It's not that I want to praise your second daughter, but I think she has great potential and is someone who can really do great things.
This kind of person, even without me, will get ahead sooner or later.
After all, it is gold and sooner or later it will shine. "
"Hahaha." Xu Huizhen covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh, President Cao really knows how to praise people."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled again: "Well, let's not talk nonsense. Since I am optimistic about your daughter, what do you think of this?
As for the new hotel, you will contribute 500,000 yuan and I will contribute 5 million yuan, and then you will personally own 10% of the shares, auntie.
At the same time, I will serve as the chairman of the board, your aunt will serve as the general manager of the hotel, and Xu Jingping will temporarily serve as the deputy general manager.
Three years later, based on Xu Jingping's performance, the board of directors will vote to decide whether Xu Jingping will serve as general manager.
During the voting, I personally will not take a stand. It all depends on your rating.
In terms of specific operations, I will not directly intervene unless you need my help.
Of course, this doesn't mean that I don't care about anything.
Before the hotel opens, I will give the hotel a quota to be a foreign-related hotel, so that the hotel can become a real foreign-related hotel.
I have some connections with the Peiping Design Institute. I can ask experts from the design institute to help with hotel decoration issues.
By the way, I will also discuss with my friends in Xiangjiang and ask them to hire a group of professional hotel managers from Xiangjiang to help you manage the hotel, improve the quality of management, and train your service staff.
When you all learn the advanced experience there, then it will be entirely up to you to take over.
In other words, what I do is preparation before opening.
Once the hotel opens, you have the final say on how it will be run.
However, don't think that this is okay.
I will arrange supervisors to supervise your operations, and the accountant and cashier must also be ours.
Therefore, you'd better not do anything illegal.
After all, the hotel I want to build is a state-owned enterprise, which is protected by law. If there is any internal corruption problem, if it is serious, you will be jailed. "
"How is that possible?" Xu Huizhen immediately laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will never do such a thing that pokes your spine."
"I believe you, Auntie." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly.
After a pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Auntie, you don't have to worry about any autonomy issues.
Actually, the reason why this first hotel was affiliated with a publishing house and became a state-owned enterprise was determined by the current situation.
After all, given the current situation, it is easier for state-owned foreign-related hotels.
Furthermore, you have no relevant experience before, so it is still very beneficial to go to a hotel as a state-owned enterprise to practice.
But don't be discouraged.
Times are moving forward, and policies will inevitably change.
When the private economy becomes more prosperous, I will open more foreign-related hotels. By then, I will be able to operate hotels as private enterprises.
We can even become bigger and stronger and turn the hotel into a brand chain, just like the Marriott Hotel Group.
What? Never heard of Marriott? It doesn't matter, have you heard of Hilton Hotel Group? Never heard of it?
Have you heard of the Peninsula Hotel? "
After confirming that Xu Huizhen had heard of Peninsula Hotel, Cao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Also, at this time, Chinese people have very little information and know very little about large foreign hotel groups.
So probably not many people know about Marriott Group or Hilton Group.
On the other hand, some people in Beijing know about the Peninsula Hotel in Xiangjiang.
Because at this time, the management team of Jianguo Hotel in Peking was composed of Peninsula Hotel staff from Xiangjiang.
Because of this, currently, among the hotels in Beijing, only Jianguo Hotel has the highest service quality.
In comparison, even the more famous Peking Hotel is not as good as Jianguo Hotel in terms of service quality.
There is no way, the service team of Peking Hotel is still using the old state-owned enterprise system. Compared with the management team introduced from Peninsula Hotel, the service quality is indeed far behind.
This is mainly a question of concept, not a question of method.
Service methods and methods can be learned, but if the concept cannot be changed, the service quality will not improve.
We used to be used to eating from one big pot, and we always emphasized that working people are equal, and the more service-oriented industries, the more they were forcibly promoted.
The result of this is that the majority of service staff are indeed more motivated, but what follows is that they are unwilling to bow their heads and their attitudes are getting worse and worse.
To put it bluntly, in the vast service industry at this time, whether they are bookstore salesmen, shopping mall salesmen, or waiters in big hotels, everyone has their noses turned upward. Many people feel that their jobs are amazing. Even the manager dared to show off his face.
The reason is very simple, that is, the employees of these units are all state-owned enterprises and cannot be fired casually unless they make major mistakes of principle.
In other words, if your immediate superiors, such as managers, do not have the right to fire employees, nor do they have the right to perform performance appraisals, then who of the employees below will be afraid of you?
They are no longer afraid of you, how do you still expect to be able to manage them well? How high do you expect their service to be?
Of course, the expressions of these service staff also vary from person to person.
If you treat ordinary people, of course they will have a bad attitude and look down on you.
But if you are a foreign guest, an overseas Chinese, or a senior leader, they will immediately become as warm as the spring breeze, making you feel at home.
This is why during this period, even though it was a foreign-related hotel, the perceptions of ordinary Chinese, as well as the perceptions of foreigners and senior leaders, were completely different.
Take Cao Zhiqiang as an example.
In the early days, Cao Zhiqiang stayed at the Peking Hotel because it was closer to the Siheyuan.
But the service attitude at the Peking Hotel is really hard to describe.
Later, it was Cao Zhiqiang who gave him enough money, a deposit in advance, a letter from his employer, and a private bribe to the front desk, so that he could successfully check into the Peking Hotel.
However, when he went to stay at Jianguo Hotel later, he didn't have so much trouble at all. He only needed to pay a deposit and he could check in directly.
Moreover, the waiters at the Jianguo Hotel, because they were from the Peninsula Hotel, did not have the consciousness of looking down on others. Even if they did not know Cao Zhiqiang's specific identity, they were very kind to him and served him with a smile throughout the process.
This is not the case at Peking Hotel. The service industry there is basically poker-faced and there is no service with a smile at all.
The Peking Hotel is already one of the best hotels in Beijing. It is like this here. You can imagine the service attitude of other hotels.
However, once you are a foreign guest, their faces are completely different, and they smile subconsciously.
The way they tell whether you are a foreign guest or not is also very simple, by looking at whether you are well-dressed and whether you can produce foreign exchange coupons or foreign currency.
Those who are well-dressed and can take out foreign exchange coupons or even settle in foreign currencies must be foreigners and must be well served.
On the other hand, the Chinese can look at them through their nostrils.
Cao Zhiqiang was not angry about this, because he knew that this was the characteristic of this era.
Let alone Peking, it’s the same everywhere.
Only with the deepening of reform and the reform of the service industry, especially when people can resign at will, can these shortcomings be gradually improved.
Of course, if that's the case, the customers will be happy and the hotel's top management will be happy, but the bottom-level employees will be unhappy.
Because at that time, the bottom employees in the service industry will have to bow their heads and pretend to be grandsons again.
Later, in the service industry, there was a famous saying, "The customer is God."
On the surface, customers are God, and we want to improve service quality and make customers feel at home.
But in fact, the subtext of this sentence is that those who serve God must pretend to be grandsons.
Therefore, there is no real fairness. It just depends on which class of people are happy.
If the people here are happy, the people over there will be unhappy, and vice versa.
However, Cao Zhiqiang prefers the era when the customer is the god compared to the era when the service staff is the uncle.
At least, in that era of capital where customers were God, only rich people like him could get higher enjoyment.
Otherwise, just like now, you can't get enough happiness even if you have money, and you still make shitty money.
Cao Zhiqiang has always felt that the biggest problem with the previous big pot meal was that it suppressed human nature and desires, which led to low demand.
Once demand slumps, supply will also slump, and production will naturally not increase.
Therefore, the essence of the market economy is actually to stimulate people's desires and make them run desperately to satisfy their desires.
What is involution?
Involution means fighting and competing with each other!
If everyone lies flat and doesn’t want to compete or work hard, then who will consume the consumer goods they produce?
With no one consuming, production will fall, which will be reflected in an economic downturn or even collapse, and then there will be an economic crisis.
This has been the case in China before. The state has tightly controlled various industries, elevated the status of women and service personnel, and overemphasized the equality of all people, resulting in forcibly suppressing everyone's desire for consumption, and thus keeping economic development relatively sluggish.
However, once we relax a little, everyone's desire to consume will rebound instantly.
Why are those household appliances such as color TVs and refrigerators so expensive nowadays, yet the supply is always in short supply and they are hard to find anywhere?
Isn’t it just that the desire to consume has risen?
In the same way, no matter how expensive the price of foreign-related hotels is, there are still people who are willing to spend half a year's income to try it out here just to experience it and then go out to brag about it.
If you are in the 21st century and you are asked to spend half your annual income to stay in a high-end hotel for one night, this is simply a disease.
In short, this is the best of times.
Because there are so many opportunities, it can be said that there are opportunities to make money everywhere.
Of course, the more you make, the more you lose.
Anyway, when it comes to going to sea, everyone depends on their ability.
Whatever you make is yours, and any loss is yours, too. Your employer will not cover the costs for you.
"Wait a minute, President Cao, I think I understand."
After being slapped with a piece of cake by Cao Zhiqiang, Xu Huizhen frowned and said: "You mean, the foreign-related hotel you are opening now is actually just a test of the waters, and it also gives us more experience.
When the hotel is ready and we have relevant experience, you will invest in us separately and support us in opening another foreign-related hotel.
At that time, you will invest in the new hotel as a private person, but your shareholding ratio in the new hotel will not exceed 50%, and you will also ensure that our mother-in-law’s shareholding ratio exceeds 50%. Fifty-one, become the absolute majority shareholder of the new hotel? "
"Yes, that's it." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "That's what I mean."
Xu Huizhen continued to frown and said, "Then what are you planning?"
"What are you trying to do?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and suddenly turned to look at Xu Jingping.
Xu Jingping, who was listening quietly, was stunned, suddenly his face turned red, and then he lowered his head subconsciously, not daring to meet Cao Zhiqiang's eyes.
Seeing this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, then turned his head again and said to Xu Huizhen, who was full of suspicion: "What am I trying to do? You will know it later, but now, I'm sorry, it needs to be kept secret!
In short, you will definitely not suffer from my plan. Is this enough? "
Xu Huizhen's expression changed, and then she asked: "Do you really plan this?"
"If you don't believe it, I can write you a letter of guarantee." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly.
"That's not necessary." Xu Huizhen immediately smiled and waved her hand.
Well, she said this because she knew that this kind of guarantee was useless and had no legal effect at all.
When the time comes, Cao Zhiqiang will regret it and refuse to invest. Do you really want to ask him for investment with the so-called guarantee letter? Isn't that a joke?
So this kind of thing really depends on sincerity and credibility.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Huizhen nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Huizhen sighed deliberately and said:
“I’m old and can’t compare to you young people.
President Cao is young, promising and well-informed, and he must be thinking further than me.
In this case, then I will listen to you and do exactly what you say! "
"Then it's settled!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I will ask Xiao Xu, oh, Xu Jingli, to hand over the specific plan to you.
Of course, Vice President Chen will discuss the specific operation with you, Auntie.
Of course, during this period, Ms. Xu Jingping will also be involved. After all, she will be the deputy manager in the future. "
After smiling at Xu Jingping again, Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, that's it for today. It's time for me to go. If we have a chance next time, let's have tea together."
