DAY 133 Return

Through Zhu Jiahua's relationship, he got a plane ticket, and the latter personally sent him to the airport to watch him board the plane, then turned around and left. The flight of several hours was fleeting, and the plane landed at Baiyun Airport. Lu Li lived in Yangcheng for one day. The next morning, Li Zhengrong drove to Pengcheng and entered Hong Kong.

There was nothing to say on the way, and I returned to the Fangdi Hotpot Restaurant in Jiulong City. Just after two o'clock, there were still customers in the store. Li Tiehan and Li Xueqing leaned on the side with their elbows on the silver table, and were talking to Gu Zhong in a low voice. During the period when Lu Li returned to China, the business in the store was handed over to Gu Zhong and Xu Yunjian.

There were also a few young men and women wearing white shirts, vests and trousers walking around from time to time. These were all employees recruited by Gu Zhong. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have already mastered the key points of work. "Hey?" Li Tiehan raised his eyebrows and saw Lu Li walking in, "Xiaoxiao, are you back?"

"I'm back." Luli handed him the travel bag and patted him on the shoulder, "I've been working hard these days."

"It's okay, we don't have to run back and forth like you. By the way, how about the family?"

"I'll talk later," Lu Li smiled at Gu Zhong and said, "A Zhong, I've troubled you these days."

"If you don't know, Brother Li treats me as a brother, so I will naturally have to work diligently." Gu Zhong replied in a proper manner, "Brother Li, this is the account for the past nine days. Do you have a look?"

"I'll wait a moment to see." Luli looked at the men and women in uniform, "A Zhong, I'm very satisfied with this."

"Um?"

"Those are these people?"

Gu Zhong nodded with a smile, straightened his tongue as smooth as possible, and said in Mandarin: "I didn't say anything. Come here, I'll introduce you to you. This is the boss of our hot pot restaurant. Lu Li. You can call him Li Ge or the boss in the future."

"Brother Li (Boss)." The uneven voices of three or five young people rang out, "Don't call me Boss, call me Brother Li, so that I won't be confused in the future. By the way, where is Xu Yunjian?"

"He's upstairs."

"Oh?" Luli asked in a very surprised look, "There are finally guests upstairs?"

"Yes, but so far, it's still limited to the second floor, and there are not many people. Alas, he's down." Gu Zhong said, and there were footsteps on the stairs. Xu Yunjian heard the news and rushed down, "Xiaoxiao. Fuck! I think you have to wait for the New Year to come back."

Gu Zhong and others laughed in unison, but they felt strange again: Xu Yunjian was the only guy who dared to laugh in front of Lu Li! Others wanted to learn, but they never dared! "Who told you to come back after the New Year? Don't talk so much nonsense, is there anyone upstairs?"

"There are two tables. Please wait for a while, I will go up and greet you, and then come down to talk to you after someone leaves."

Seeing him rushing upstairs without looking back, Lu Lizhan smiled, "Ah Zhong. I told you before leaving, asking you to take good care of this kid. Why are you still so irritable?"

Gu Zhong saw that he was in a good mood, so he might as well joke with him, "You can beat him up, Brother Li, you know Brother Jian's temper, except for you to say a few words. He stares at all of us when we talk. If you don't believe it, wait for a while and let him come down. Look? Is his eyes bigger than before?"

Everyone laughed! "What you said is too unrestrained, right?"

"Not at all, just watch it yourself."

After laughing for a while, Lu Li shook his head. Although Xu Yunjian was his best friend, this habit of not listening to advice was really bad. I had to persuade him when I found time, "Oh, here I come." Li Xueqing quickly walked to the dining table and whispered a few times, "Okay, please wait."

After paying the money, several guests came out one after another. Two waiters carried the hot pot, cleaned the tables and chairs, and took the tableware to the kitchen to wash. Soon, the store returned to peace, "Brother Li, if you are tired, go upstairs to rest, I will give you the account."

"Let's see here." Lu Li said: "I'll have something to say to everyone after a while." He sat down and opened the account book. It was Gu Zhong's handwriting, and the income and expenditure were recorded in very detailed detail. In this regard, Gu Zhong did better than him. The purpose of each income, the quantity of materials purchased, and the unit price were recorded one by one. As for income, it was even more so. Even the occasional tips were recorded.

He also looked at it very seriously. After reviewing it for a while, he stopped, "A Zhong, I don't know much about this tip. Does Chinese restaurants also give tips?"

"It depends entirely on the guests themselves. If he thinks that the enjoyment is very comfortable and the service is very good, we will not be able to tell. Brother Li, is there any problem?"

"No. I just don't understand. So, in what proportion is the income from tips distributed?"

"Generally speaking, it's 82. I get 80% of it, and restaurants earn 20%."

"There is no record of the specific name of the employee who received the tip?"

Gu Zhong nodded and said with apologizing: "Yes, this is the account. If you add too many names, I am worried that it will cause chaos. But Brother Li doesn't worry, I have another special record book, and every record is recorded on it."

"You go and get it to me."

Gu Zhong was not sure, so he took another record book. When he opened it, he found that the words on it were much smaller, which was not much different from a new one. There were very few people's names written: Meng Xiaofei, Guo Chunhan, and Jiaju. Among them, Meng Xiaofei received three tips, and the other two were one. The total number was only more than one hundred Hong Kong dollars. "Call all the people in charge of the first floor service."

After a while, three men, four women, seven young men, stood in a row, Luli sat upright and looked at them one by one, and asked, "Who do you don't understand Mandarin? Tell me in advance and I'll let Ah Zhong translate for you."

Several people looked at each other, but five of them couldn't understand. They raised their hands timidly, "Stand the majority? Then forget it, listen to A Zhong's Cantonese. Here I would like to give you a piece of advice. I can understand it, but I don't know how to speak. So I hope you guys can learn some Mandarin as much as possible. You don't have to speak, but you must be able to listen, so as to prevent us from being disagreeable for speech."

Listening to Gu Zhong's translation, a few boys in the crowd showed disdainful expressions. Why do they say so much nonsense? Isn't it just to establish authority? "I just saw A Zhong's tip account. No matter how much it is, it is the result of your labor. I'll tell you here that the tip income store will not take a coin from it. Any tips that anyone gets because of good service belong to their own."

“…”

Luli took the expressions of these people in his eyes. It was funny in his heart. Is it the most economic interests that touch people? Don’t look at the income of more than 20 yuan, which is also valuable to them! Thinking about it seriously, it is not unreasonable. The tip is entirely because of the judgment of the customer on the service. It has nothing to do with the store. If one fifth is deducted for no reason, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction. "The following is bad news. The so-called setting rules when entering the door. Here I think it is necessary to warn you that I give a lot of salary here, and even if I am a leader in the same industry, the same goes for rewards. My requirements are two. First, when doing business and entertaining guests, you must cheer me up. If you find someone fishing at work, no one will speak mercilessly. I will pay you a bill immediately and you will leave immediately."

"...Secondly, I do not allow anyone to lie to me. Anyone who lies with me, I will be dismissed without management. In this matter, anyone will face him (Cantonese, meaning not to give face)."

Luli paused for a while and let these young people digest their words, then said: "The bad news is good news. I am an old guest of your Hong Kong people. I have not been here for a long time, and I don't know the customs here yet, but I know one thing, that is, every New Year, bosses will send a red envelope to everyone. I am no exception. At the end of the year, I will give each person an extra month's salary as a red envelope according to the working period of all of you; at the same time, I will set such rules, and I will handle this every year in the future. Simply put, 24 months' salary will be paid every six months."

After saying this, everyone from the second Li was smiling! It was equivalent to having two months of salary last month? Where can I find such a good thing? On the contrary, Gu Zhong frowned: Is this a waste? Take Meng Xiaofei as an example. Her monthly salary is only HK$2,800, and doubled it will be 5,600. Such an income is no less than the ol in Zhang Dadong's law firm!

When everyone gradually dispersed, he sat opposite Luli, "Brother Li, I am not questioning your decision, but isn't that too much?"

Lu Li smiled unanimously, "A Zhong, I understand your thoughts, but I just said that there is reward for your efforts, and the opposite is true. Moreover, before I came back, I lived in Yangcheng for a day and discussed with my friends that from next week, the continuous stream of beef and mutton will be imported in large quantities here. I plan to set up this stall outside the hot pot restaurant and sell fresh mutton and fresh beef from the mainland. What do you think?"

Gu Zhong frowned and thought for a while and said, "If it were retail, there were different shops in every residential and residential area in Hong Kong; if it was wholesale sales, Hong Kong people usually go to Diamond Mountain in Wong Tai Sin District, where..."

"I know, I know, I have been there too. Not only have I been there, I also visited a gentleman named Guan. Speaking of which, it was not really a pleasant meeting." He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he recalled the old things.

His smile seemed quite strange to Gu Zhong. Just as he was about to speak, there was suddenly an extra person around him, which was Xu Yunjian. "Are you finished?"

"There is another point. I asked Amao to do it. Xiaoxiao, how is the family?"

"Everything is pretty good, oh, I remember, Lao Si? Come here." He called Li Xueqing in front of him and said, "Lao Si, you have a day off and go home the day after tomorrow."

"Hey? What's wrong with me?"

"It's not a big deal, but I said at the beginning that we will all become versatile in the future. In other words, not only can the two stalls at home be able to be able to hold them up, but also take turns to take care of them in Hong Kong. I have already said hello to Cao Xun. After you go back, he will handle the handover with you. If you don't understand anything, ask him as soon as possible, or ask Liang Wei."

Li Xueqing frowned with regret. Compared with Hong Kong's ever-changing development areas, Tianjin (Tianjin) is like a slum in Yuen Long, Hong Kong. He really doesn't want to go back like this. "Xiaoxiao, let me stay for a few more days, right? So the Chinese New Year is approaching, so I'll go back? I'm also familiar with the matters in Tianjin, and it takes less than a few days to hand over the handover with Lao Cao."

"No! If you ask you to go back, you will go back. Do you think working on Binjiang Road is enough to deal with it after working for a few days? There are still many things around. The most important ones are some units that are related to us, such as the yamen gates such as industrial and commercial, branches, and food factories in Hedong. These people and land must be taken with you. When the two sides meet, they will introduce you to them. In the future, you will be responsible for maintaining it. To be honest, it is already a bit late now, and do you still want to wait until the New Year is approaching?"

"Then, aren't Zhang Qing and his sister-in-law still there?"

Luli slapped the table and was furious! "What's wrong with you? Well, my words are useless now, right?"

Seeing that he was really angry, how could Li Xueqing dare to speak? He lowered his head and stepped back a little, and said stutteringly: "You... Brother Li, don't be angry, I don't listen to you. I... How dare I not listen to you?"

Such words have a strong sense of grievance, how can Lu Li not hear it? "Li Xueqing, if you are reluctant to leave a colorful world like Hong Kong, you can do it. I will pack my luggage now, accompany you back to Tianjin, hand you over to my uncle and aunt, and then if you want, come back by yourself. Hong Kong is such a big place, how about you? As long as you say a word, we brothers and I will set off immediately!"

"No, no, Xiaoxiao, Lao Si didn't say I didn't listen to you?" Li Tiehan was frightened by this storm-like anger, and persuaded him, "Lao Si, I'm sorry for Xiaoxiao, hurry up, why are you standing there?"

Li Xueqing blinked his eyes and squeezed out a sentence for a while, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, I'll just listen to you."

"You go upstairs to pack up your things quickly, and let Erdanzi and Xu Yunjian accompany you to Pengcheng tomorrow, and then you go home immediately. When you get home, you are happy to go to Binjiang and say, "If you are not happy, just let it go!" Lu Li waved his hand in disgust, "Go upstairs, don't sway in front of my eyes!"

Li Xueqing was sad and endured humiliation, but was more aggrieved. He accompanied Li Tiehan and went upstairs without looking back.

Luli was very angry. Looking around for a week, everyone who had contacted his eyes shrank and lowered their heads, "What should I do when I do? I'm just doing this? I'm a business, not a place to raise my uncle!"

Everyone immediately dispersed like birds and beasts. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
