Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Cao Wei didn’t like holding meetings in his previous life.

Most of the time, most meetings are pointless.

He believes that unless the content of a meeting is closely related to most people, it is meaningless to hold it. Meetings to encourage others are even more meaningless. Joining a company and feeling its culture is not something you can achieve by just saying "come on, come on, work hard".

The company's corporate culture is built up step by step, from top to bottom.

Therefore, he has very little time to actually hold meetings.

Except for a few more important things.

For example, he would hold a special meeting to talk about employee benefits and career advancement opportunities.

As for the achievements of Samadhi Building, most of the time they would announce them at the end-of-year party, just to make the group happy. Based on the achievements of Samadhi Building over the years, as well as the slightly strict system, the internal culture of Samadhi Building has actually begun to emerge.

"Ahem, hello, hello." Cao Wei tapped the microphone and made sure there was no problem.

Let out a sigh.

"Hey, I haven't held a meeting for two or three years. I used to think this place was empty, but now it's so crowded that there's no room for people to sit.

"Boss Cao, when are you going to expand the headquarters?"

Someone from the audience shouted out in delight.

"Yes, yes."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The headquarters of Samadhi Tower, judging from the past, was quite good, but compared to today, it is not so good.

"Don't worry, let's wait a few years. Our family has some connections in Hong Kong. Let's see if we can get some impressive design drafts."

Cao Wei responded and revealed some small news.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the 8090s and s were generally considered a time when everyone worshipped foreign things.

Bell-bottom pants, small speakers, these so-called fashion factors all came from Hong Kong.

"Ahem, that's enough, be quiet." Cao Wei's voice became louder.

The scene immediately fell silent.

"Today, we are not here to discuss whether the Samadhi Tower headquarters should expand, but to talk about what happened a few days ago. I believe everyone knows what happened. It doesn't matter if you don't know. I will repeat it to you here. Just two months ago, a gang targeted our Samadhi Tower, so one of their gang members joined our Samadhi Tower."

"He was a cook in the cafeteria. His cooking skills were pretty good, and soon he became a third cook. After becoming a third cook, he started to persuade everyone to play cards. As time went by, nearly ten chefs in our Samadhi Building spent hundreds of thousands of dollars playing cards."

"Ah?!"

Most people actually know what today's meeting is about.

But they never expected that this matter would be so outrageous.

Hundreds of thousands?

God?!

What are you doing?! Are you tired of living?

This is the Samadhi Building, where the salary is high. If this were to be placed outside, there would be an uproar.

"Hundreds of thousands! Comrades, is this too much money and nowhere to spend it?!" Cao Wei's voice suddenly rose several degrees and he took a deep breath.

The scene was completely silent.

"Let me first tell you the result. All the masters who participated in the gambling will be fired and will be required to pay compensation. HR is already going through the process. From now on, if you find this kind of thing in the company, I don't care whether you make a big fuss or play it by the penny, you will all be fired, no exceptions!"

“This is one.”

"Also, let's talk about the second point. I had already said this in the early 80s. At that time, the salary in our Samadhi Building was not low. I was afraid that someone was targeting our people. As it turns out, someone was indeed targeting us back then, but no one was fooled. Today, someone was fooled, and there are more than one person. I think I should talk to you about this."

"Many people may think, it is clearly someone else who set up the trap and cheated our own people, what are you talking to me about here?" At this point, Cao Wei paused, looked around, and then said: "This idea is wrong. Everyone knows that the people in our Samadhi Building make money. In the past few years, the TV and newspapers have reported a lot about our Samadhi Building. I can teach you not to be fooled, but I can't teach those who are targeting you to tell them not to target our people. If I had that ability, I would let Xiao Ri commit suicide as soon as possible to apologize for my sins."

When Jing Yu heard this, she couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Whether it is the daily life or the previous words.

There is not much possibility of making a bad guy become good.

"Of course, this is not the point of holding this meeting today. The point is that I found that many of you are arrogant. Since the opening of Samadhi House, we have always adhered to the principle of being an ordinary person. You are ordinary people, and I am also an ordinary person. Some people may not accept it. If I were an ordinary person, how could I have the ability to build Samadhi House."

"I'll tell you, it was luck. Everyone who has been at Samadhi Restaurant from the beginning knows that Samadhi Restaurant is the first purely private restaurant in our city. It was even reported in the newspapers at the time. In addition, the craftsmanship of the chefs was pretty good. Slowly, slowly, it became popular. Ultimately, the reason why it was able to take off was because of the good policies from above."

"We were lucky to catch up with the 'reform and opening up'. As the first one, the higher-ups gave us an opportunity to work hard. We, the old guys, worked hard and built up Samadhi Tower. To this day, most of the rules in Samadhi Tower actually have only one core content - hard work pays off. As long as you work hard, you can slowly become a chef from cutting vegetables, and as long as you work hard, you can slowly become a salesperson from a waiter. Each route has a relatively complete promotion path."

"After you advance to the final level, you can choose to go out and do it yourself. Samadhi Tower will also strongly support you. But all of this is subject to one prerequisite: you have good luck enough."

"Yes, I was lucky enough. You may think that everything you have today is the result of your own hard work. I will tell you that it is not the case. It is a combination of hard work and luck, with luck accounting for a much higher proportion. Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, ask your chefs and see what the conditions were for chefs in the past to really learn. Waiters, ask your team leaders and group leaders, did waiters have this opportunity in the past?"

"I hope you will think about this question carefully. Was it really your hard work that got you to join Samadhi Tower? No, it was just that you were lucky. It's the same for me. I am one of the luckiest people in the world. I happened to open Samadhi Tower at the right time."
