1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Okay, here's a bowl of hot rice wine." Lu Hao nodded.

He found an empty seat and sat down.

The decoration in the store is very novel, and the tables and chairs are all brand new, simple and clean. After a while, Chen Linjiao brought a bowl of hot rice wine and placed it in front of Lu Hao.

He also sat next to him.

Lu Hao took a spoonful of rice wine and looked up at her, "You've gained some weight."

Chen Linjiao is much plumper.

"Ah? Isn't it ugly? Then I'll eat less in the future." Chen Linjiao touched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

She didn't expect Lu Hao to suddenly comment on her appearance.

After thinking about it carefully, I seem to have eaten more recently.

"It's better to be fatter. I was too thin before, just like Xiao Min. It's better for a woman to be a little plumper, so that she can feel better." Lu Hao said.

Being thin makes you look good on camera, but if you really want to look good on camera, in reality it’s all just bones, so it’s better to be slightly fatter.

"How do you feel?" Chen Linjiao was very surprised.

"Think about it yourself." Lu Hao finished the rice wine in the bowl in two gulps and handed the empty bowl to Chen Linjiao, "I'll go next door and take a look."

Next door is the KFC store.

The two best locations on the first floor are one for KFC and one for Nini Breakfast. The two shops are next to each other.

There is a glass door next to Nini's breakfast shop, and after opening it, there is a KFC store.

The store is busy at the moment and there are quite a few customers.

"boss."

"Brother Ho."

As soon as he entered the store, a clerk greeted Lu Hao. The more restrained ones called him boss, while the more cheerful ones directly called him Brother Hao.

All the employees in the store were the ones he had previously sent to train at KFC’s domestic headquarters. After the KFC store was renovated, the KFC headquarters came over to do a trial operation for a period of time before handing the store over to him. These employees who had been trained at KFC’s domestic headquarters Employees have also been arranged to come in.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I will prepare red envelopes for you during the Chinese New Year. If you want to resign recently, please wait a little longer and wait until you get the red envelope before resigning." Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Only a fool quits his job. It's great to work here. Others can't get in even if they want to."

"I have meat to eat every day, and my life is very good."

Several store clerks heard his words and smiled.

Indeed, no one wants to quit their job. What Lu Hao gives is a basic salary plus commission. There is a basic salary every month. If the sales are good, there will be commission. The commission is not low.

During the training at KFC's domestic headquarters, they saw how powerful KFC was and how good the business was. When they returned to Jiangcheng and worked at the KFC Jiangcheng store, they thought the business would be worse than that at KFC's domestic headquarters, but they didn't expect the business to be better. Not bad!

Moreover, when we were at KFC's domestic headquarters, there was no air conditioning in the store, but here in Jiangcheng there is air conditioning, which can be turned on 24 hours a day.

When they entered the store to work on the first day, Lu Hao also gave them red envelopes. It was almost the Spring Festival, and there were still red envelopes. Whoever left would be stupid!

In addition, food ingredients are also strictly controlled. Each ingredient has a specified shelf life. If it exceeds the shelf life, it will be discarded. If it is not sold out every day, employees can take it back and eat it themselves.

This is all meat!

Very rare.

After walking around the KFC store, Lu Hao went to the office area on the first floor.

This is where internal employees work and rest.

He opened the door and walked into Zhang Zhigang's office.

In the office, Zhang Zhigang was smoking with his legs crossed, and there was tea on the table. He was very comfortable. When Lu Hao came in, he was humming happily.

"You are living a good life. A single office makes you so happy." Lu Hao said with a smile.

Zhang Zhigang has long been clamoring for a separate office so that he can hold meetings. It sounds good to him. There was no space before. After the Wanjia Plaza was built, the space was available.

Manager-level managers all have a separate office, while supervisor-level managers are in one office. There are also locker rooms and rest rooms for employees.

It's quite complete.

"Brother Hao." Seeing Lu Hao, Zhang Zhigang immediately stood up and handed Lu Hao a cigarette respectfully. "I'm so happy. I finally have my own office. I'm not afraid of your jokes, Brother Hao. These days I I always have a sway when I walk, and I show off to everyone I see, and I want to drag them into my office to take a look, especially when I meet people I know from the past who have a much better life than I do. It's better. They used to pity me and thought it would be bad for me to work in the private sector, but now they envy my life and ask about my salary."

"I put the salary down, but it's still much higher than them. And that's not counting daily bonuses, welfare commissions, etc. If you include these, it's not just a star and a half higher than them, but much higher. Many times more.”

Most people work just for wages. As for their ideals, that can only be discussed after they have had enough to eat and drink.

"After the Spring Festival, it will not be many times higher, but dozens of times higher." Lu Hao said with a smile, "The better the business, the higher your salary will be."

"Dozens of times higher?" Zhang Zhigang made a rough estimate in his mind and looked at Lu Hao in disbelief, "It's really dozens of times higher. It's more than 1000 yuan a month."

"Yes, that's right. On average, it's more than 1000 yuan a month." Lu Hao nodded.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Zhang Zhigang was stunned. After a while, he immediately rushed to Lu Hao and said, "Brother Hao, is what you said true? Don't you regret it?"

1000 a month, and a household worth [-] yuan in one year!

"What's there to regret about this? Didn't I tell you earlier? The more I make, the more prosperous my business is, and the more you get. Now all businesses are on the right track, and it can be said that they are on the right track. In the new stage, like Wanjia Plaza, various merchants have settled in and are in trial operation. The business is very good. There are a lot of customers coming to Wanjia Plaza every day. It is better than the business of Wanjia Department Store before. It is still prosperous. The same store in other places may only have a daily turnover of 100 yuan, but after moving to Wanjia Plaza, the daily turnover can be 200 or even 300 yuan, which has doubled to 2 times. This was still years ago. During the Spring Festival, we will still have a wave of activities. Merchants will also hold activities and publicity everywhere. That will be the real business, and business will only be better than now." Lu Haodao .

"But we rent out most of the shops, and the rents are fixed. Their business is good, so it has nothing to do with us. It's just that it has something to do with Jiangcheng City, and they pay more taxes." Zhang Zhigang said.

Most of the shops in Wanjia Plaza are rented out, but only some remain and are run by themselves, such as KFC and several other shops.
