meeting room.
Ye Weixie called all the salesmen back for a meeting, including Wu Xiaozhen and two shop assistants.
He originally wanted to arrange for the four newly recruited people to go to Yangcheng, but then he thought about it, maybe the previous people also wanted to go?So just notify them all.
As for whether there are any extra people to sign up, we will see when the time comes.
There are also four new recruits.
According to his original plan, he planned to recruit only two people, a store manager and a deputy store manager, and the rest of the salespersons would be recruited locally in Yangcheng, but after discussing with Yu Qinghe, he still felt that it would be more appropriate to recruit two more.
One is that it can be cultivated as a reserve cadre, and the other is that it can improve the sense of competition, otherwise future generations will be lazy after a long time, which is not conducive to development.
The most important point is to achieve mutual checks and balances. Otherwise, if they are far away, they will be beyond their reach and prone to problems.
After all the people arrived, Ye Weixie got straight to the point, "Everyone should have heard more or less that our store in Yangcheng, Yuyan Yuyan, will open on New Year's Day, and before that, we need to get all the staff ready."
"So I asked you to come here today to ask if you are willing to go to Yangcheng."
After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the various expressions on everyone's faces, and turned directly to Hu Rui, asking Hu Rui to introduce the situation of the Yangcheng store to everyone.
Twenty minutes later, Hu Rui asked after finishing speaking, "Do you have any questions?"
Qin Yu among the four raised his hand, "What was our past position?"
Ye Weixie: "It depends on your performance."
The other party was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Hu Ruidao: "After the opening of the new store, there will be a three-month inspection period. During this period, the candidates will take turns to take on the role of store manager. As for how long it will take, it depends on the final number of applicants."
"Finally, it depends on everyone's overall performance. The first two are the store manager and the deputy store manager. The rest can stay as salespersons. Of course, if you don't want to do it, you can leave."
"Are these the only options?" someone asked.
"Yes, if we don't want to stay, can we come back to Jingcheng to do it?"
"No." Hu Rui said, "There are only so many positions. Since you have decided to go to Yangcheng, it means that the position in Jingcheng will be filled by someone. It is impossible for us to wait for three months with an empty position."
"So please think seriously." Ye Weixie said.
"What is the content of the investigation?" Wu Xiaozhen asked suddenly.
Hu Rui glanced at the other party and said, "The content of the assessment will be kept secret for the time being."
"This……"
Immediately, they started whispering.
"I want to assess, but I don't know what to assess, what should I do?"
"Actually, you can be a salesperson, right?"
"Then why do you have to run so far? Why don't you just stay in Jingcheng?"
"The wages are high over there."
……
tuk tuk-
Ye Weixie suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the table, the meeting room fell silent instantly.
He looked around and said, "I will announce the content of the investigation after the final dust settles, but I can reveal one thing, that is, sales will be one of the content of the assessment. As for the proportion, I cannot announce it for the time being."
"I know it's hard to make a decision, so everyone can think about it slowly."
Hu Rui added: "Starting today, the registration will be valid within five days, and there will be no waiting for expiration."
"There is another point," Ye Weixie said as if he just remembered, "The store manager is not static. After officially taking up the job, there will be a quarterly assessment. If the two consecutive assessments fail at that time , the store manager will also be replaced.”
Who will be responsible for the replaced store manager is beyond words.
Sure enough, after saying this, everyone's eyes lit up.
There is still a chance.
Hu Rui just watched helplessly as everyone was excited at first, then confused, and finally felt as if they had been beaten.
He couldn't help feeling that the boss was indeed the boss.
"Dismiss!"
Back in the office, Ye Weixie confirmed the specific schedule with Hu Rui again.
Half an hour after everything was done, Ye Weixie stretched his waist and said, "Go out and do some work, and call Manager Zheng for me."
"Okay." Hu Rui nodded and quickly left the office.
Two minutes later, Zheng Hui came over.
When Ye Weixie saw the person, he was startled.
He knew that due to the surge in orders recently, everyone was very busy, and Zheng Hui, who was in charge of the company's chores, was not too far behind, and his work was trivial, so he often worked overtime until eight or nine in the evening.
Ye Weixie persuaded him not to work so hard after meeting him once or twice, but probably because of the past, he didn't listen to the other party, and wanted to work hard for the company every day to make him feel better. .
He was also worried that the depression in the other party's heart would not dissipate, and it would become a bad depression after a long time, so he didn't persuade him anymore, thinking that it would be good to talk for a while.
But now it seems that Zheng Hui is on the tip of his horns.
If things go on like this, people may become useless.
"Your dark circles are so heavy that you can drip ink." Ye Weixie got up to pour water for him, and asked at the same time, "How long has it been since you had a good rest?"
"No way." Zheng Hui opened the chair and sat down and said, "I've been too busy recently."
Seeing Ye Weixie pouring water for him, he stood up again to grab the cup, "I can do it myself."
Ye Weixie sideways dodged, "No, you sit down."
His volume and tone did not change, but after being the boss for a long time, he inevitably had the aura of a superior, so although Zheng Hui was reluctant, he finally sat down awkwardly.
Ye Weixie didn't miss the disappointment that flashed across the other's face.
Yu Qinghe was right, from the day they became superiors and subordinates, their friendship could no longer be equal.
He sighed in his heart, and pretended that he didn't see anything, put the cup in front of Zheng Hui, then opened the chair and sat down, and said, "Didn't you ask you to hire an assistant last time? You haven't hired anyone yet." ?”
Zheng Hui lowered his eyes to get the cup, took advantage of the situation to suppress the strangeness in his eyes, and said, "It's so easy to recruit an assistant."
It depends on what kind of assistant to recruit, Ye Weixi thought.
If Hu Rui is as omnipotent and can do everything, of course it will not be easy.But if you just need someone to process documents, answer a phone call, or send notifications, it's easy to find someone.
He hesitated for a while, but finally chose to speak directly.
He looked at Zheng Hui and asked, "Is it difficult to recruit, or is it not going to be recruited?"
Zheng Hui didn't expect Ye Weixie to ask such a straightforward question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "Of course it's not good..."
It's a pity that Zheng Hui couldn't continue talking here, because he met Ye Weixie's eyes.
Ye Weixie's peach-blossom eyes are undoubtedly good-looking, round and energetic, and there is a deep emotion in them when he focuses on people.But this time, Tao Hua's eyes were full of jokes.
It seems to be saying - let me see how long you can pretend?
Zheng Hui just got stuck, and once some words get stuck, it is not so easy to continue.And with Ye Weixie looking at him like that, how could he continue talking?
In the end, he could only shut his mouth embarrassingly.
"Stop talking?" Ye Weixie glanced at him and said, "Stop talking, then I will talk."
Zheng Hui was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, "I haven't stopped, I..."
Just started but don't know how to continue, saying that I can't think about it for a while?Or does he not need an assistant?
Ye Weixie sighed, it seems that what happened last time still framed him.
Finally, he thought about it, and he straightened his expression and spread out: "Brother Zheng, I know what kind of person you are, and you also know what kind of person I am if you want to come, we don't need to come to those fake people, what can you say?" Just say it."
Zheng Hui didn't speak.
Still hesitating when seeing people, Ye Weixie simply added fuel to the fire, "It was already tiring to meet people talking nonsense outside. Now it's just the two of us here, besides the superiors and subordinates, we are also Friend, so don't make me guess."
"Or what did I do wrong that made you unhappy?"
"No." As soon as Ye Weixie said these words, Zheng Hui couldn't sit still, and quickly explained, "Nothing, I just can't pass the test in my heart."
Last time he said that he would be punished, but in the end he was only deducted a few months of bonuses, and the rest of the punishment was not given at all, which made it difficult for him to sit in the position of "Manager Zheng" with peace of mind.
Sure enough.
Ye Weixie pondered for a while, and asked, "What do you think of me treating Chu Jun?"
"Very good." Zheng Hui said.
So good that everyone thinks it's a bit too much.
For Chu Jun to do such a thing, it stands to reason that it would be light to expel him directly, but Ye Weixie did not do so.
Not only did he not fire people, but he also asked people to resign themselves.In the end, when Chu Jun left, he also gave the previous commission to the other party, and finally gave him a letter of recommendation.
Even he couldn't see it.
It can be said that such a boss is only seen in his life.
Ye Weixie said: "Since I can be so good to Chu Jun, why can't I be good to you? Could it be that Brother Zheng feels that you are not as good as Chu Jun with me?"
"Or, do you think I don't know right from wrong?"
"No." Zheng Hui shook his head in denial.
"Then why can't you pass the test in your heart?" Ye Weixie asked: "Human Chu Jun can accept it with such peace of mind, why do you think it's not possible?"
"This..." Zheng Hui was dumbfounded by the question. He wanted to say something different, but he couldn't tell what was different.
Seeing that it was useful, Ye Weixie insisted, "Do you think it makes sense?"
Zheng Hui nodded subconsciously, "Yes."
Ye Weixie immediately said: "That's right."
"If you really feel sorry for me, then don't think about it so much in the future. It is the last word to work hard for me. But let me say it first, what I want is a long-term job, not for you to overdraw your health and work hard .”
"Don't be able to work for me for three to fifty years at that time, but in the end I can only work for a few years because I am too tired, then I will lose a lot of money."
Zheng Hui originally wanted to say that he was not that fragile, and that it was no big problem to work overtime for a few days, but seeing Ye Weixie's expression of "Don't let me suffer", the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Okay, I see, I will pay attention to rest in the future."
"That's right. A combination of work and rest is the long-term solution." Speaking of this, Ye Weixie remembered the last time he talked to Yu Qinghe about team building when he was in Yangcheng, but he met Song Yan later. , has been busy.
In the end, I ran out of skills and forgot about it.
Thinking about it now, he said, "Speaking of which, I just have something for you to do."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Hui immediately said, "Say it."
Ye Weixie said: "Recently, there are a lot of orders, and everyone is very busy, so I want to find a time to organize everyone to go out and relax together, like a day trip to the park, so it should be considered as a team building."
"Oh, team building is team building. Generally speaking, some activities or games can be organized to enhance the cohesion of employees and make everyone feel more belonging to the company."
Worried that Zheng Hui didn't understand, he gave another example and said, "It's like when it was hot in the past, didn't I often buy soda and ice cream for the female workers on the production line?"
"Did they get a little closer to the company after eating my food?"
It was the first time Zheng Hui heard this kind of statement, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he was right. The female workers on the production line really didn't say anything to Ye Weixie.
I didn't see the last time I heard that there was a problem with the raw material, and they recommended a small manufacturer.
Oh, it is now the factory invested by Ye Weixie and Yu Qinghe.
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Zheng Hui said.
Ye Weixie nodded, "Then you make a plan and give it to me when the time comes."
"No problem." Zheng Hui quickly wrote down everything.
Ye Weixie didn't ask until someone stopped writing, "Have you memorized it all?"
Zheng Hui nodded, "Okay."
"Then let's get down to business now." Saying this, Ye Weixie opened the drawer and took out a piece of drawing paper.
Hearing the business, Zheng Hui immediately sat upright.
Seeing Ye Weixie take out the drawing paper, he thought it was his new drawing, but when the drawing paper was spread out in front of him, he realized it was not. Just as he was about to see what it was, he heard Ye Weixie say: " Here's my organizational chart."
Zheng Hui was taken aback, "Organizational chart?"
"Yes," Ye Weixie turned the drawing paper in a different direction, motioned Zheng Hui to move closer, and then pointed to the position listed above and said, "I am the general manager, and I am mainly in charge of sales and purchasing, as well as the design department."
"You are the deputy general manager. You are mainly in charge of personnel administration and finance. But now that our company is small, administration will be put under the personnel department first, and we will talk about it when the company expands in the future."
In fact, he originally wanted to assign procurement to Zheng Hui's side. After all, the other party was from procurement. He wanted to say not to waste this talent, but in the end he thought about it and forgot it. It is unreasonable to put procurement and administration together.
When Zheng Hui heard that he was the deputy general manager, he subconsciously refused, but he was relieved when he thought of what Ye Weixie said before.
Just like what Ye Weixie said, just work hard and don't think so much about what you have and what you don't have.
At this moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong, "Where's the production department?"
"That's what I want to say," Ye Weixie said, "Because there are many things under the production department, there are not only production lines to manage, but also quality inspection and warehouse management, and there are two factories, so I plan to recruit A deputy general manager will be in charge of this area."
"But this is not a good move." Zheng Hui directly pointed out the difficulty.
In order to manage the production of the two factories well, one must have rich experience and be able to hold people down, otherwise it is easy to act like a monster.
Ye Weixie also understands this truth, the vice president is not an ordinary employee, and it is really not easy to recruit the right one.
He thought for a while, and said, "So you see if there are any uncles you knew before who want to change jobs or who are laid off are suitable candidates."
Zheng Hui recalled it, but he really didn't remember it.Of course, it may be that he is a junior so he doesn't know. Finally, after thinking about it, he asked, "Do you mind if I consult my dad?"
Worried about Ye Weixie's worries, he added: "Don't worry, I dare not say anything else. In principle, my father is still very reliable."
Ye Weixie smiled and said: "Of course I believe Mr. Zheng, then I will leave this matter to you."
"it is good."
"Then you take care of your own assistant." Ye Weixie explained again.
Zheng Hui smiled and said, "I know."
"Then first."
"Ah."
After Zheng Hui left, Ye Weixie suddenly found himself idle.
Now that there are too many people, the work has been subdivided and there is a special person in charge. Even if it is a phone call, Hu Rui will help him filter it in advance.
After sitting for a while, he found that there was really nothing to do, and he was really lazy and didn't want to work, so he simply packed up his things and left early.
Also, Yu Qinghe's new factory was completed a few days ago, and he hasn't seen it yet. Since he has time today, he just went for a stroll and gave the child a surprise by the way.
Oh, and it could be a shock, too, if the child does something wrong on the sly.
After putting away his things and saying hello to Hu Rui that he had something to go out, Ye Weixie left quickly.
"boss?"
Ye Weixie was stopped by someone as soon as he left the factory door.
He looked back and found that the one who stopped him was none other than Xu Yuan, the designer who had just been recruited not long ago.
Xu Yuan is 34 years old this year, with an oval face and long curly hair. She looks very fashionable in a camel-colored windbreaker, a white sweater and jeans, and boots on her feet.
"Teacher Xu?" Ye Weixie looked around calmly, not understanding why Xu Yuan was here, but he didn't ask directly, but asked, "Are you busy?"
"It's okay," Xu Yuan explained with a smile, "it's just that the office is a little stuffy, and I feel a little dizzy from drawing pictures, so come out to get some air."
"Thanks for your hard work." Ye Weixie said, "But it's cold now, you can breathe, but don't catch a cold."
Xu Yuan had a quiet smile on her face, "Thank you boss for your concern, I'll go back right away."
"Okay." Ye Weixie waved his hand, "Then I'll go first, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Xu Yuan watched Ye Weixie's back disappear behind the trees before turning back to the office.
Now that the weather is cold, Ye Weixie didn't take a taxi and took the bus directly.
Recently, he has been riding a lot in the car, and he is not as dizzy as before, but he still feels a little bit occasionally. For example, now, the person sitting in front of him does not know what he is carrying, and he feels a little uncomfortable because of the sour smell.
Fortunately, the two sides are not far from each other, and it took only four or ten minutes to get there.
After getting off the bus, I walked for a few minutes before seeing a large warehouse.
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of goods, the big iron gate occupies one wall, but there will be no goods, so the big iron gate is not opened, but only a small one-person-wide iron gate on the big iron gate.
Ye Weixie walked over and knocked on the iron door, "Is anyone there?"
Hearing the voice inside, someone quickly came out to check, "Looking for... Boss Ye?"
???
Ye Weixie was taken aback by the shout of 'Boss Ye', and was about to see if he knew someone, when the other person turned around and shouted inside, "Hurry up and tell the boss, Boss Ye is here!"
Following this shout, there was a burst of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong footsteps coming from inside, "I'm going!!!"
"Hurry up!"
Ye Weixie: ...
He suspects that these people are up to something bad, and he has proof.
"Hey," the young man who just poked his head out to look around quickly ran out around the table, and said with a smile, "Boss Ye, please come in."
Ye Weixie walked in suspiciously, "You know me?"
The young man evaded his eyes and said, "I heard about it from Boss Yu before."
He didn't dare to say that the first thing they do when they join the job is to recognize people with Ye Weixie's photo, and they must be able to recognize them at a glance.
Ye Weixi didn't believe it at all, "You can recognize me after hearing about it?"
"This..." Before the young man could find an excuse to fool around, he saw Yu Qinghe running down the stairs in two steps at a time. He was relieved immediately, "The boss is here."
"Brother!" Suddenly hearing Ye Weixie's arrival, Yu Qinghe was both surprised and delighted, and ran down quickly, so when he got in front of Ye Weixie, he was still panting, "Why are you here?"
Ye Weixie looked at him with a smile and asked, "Can't I come?"
"No, my local brother can come whenever he wants." Afraid of Ye Weixie's misunderstanding, Yu Qinghe hurriedly explained, "I just want to ask if my brother is in the company? Why do you have time to come?"
Ye Weixie: "Come check the post."
He spoke righteously, but it was a pity that he was recognized before he even entered the door.
The young man at the side froze when he heard Cha Gang, turned around and ran, "Boss, I remembered that I have something to do first." After speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
"..." Yu Qinghe.
Ye Weixie smiled and said, "Does it seem like there is no silver 300 taels here?"
"..."
Yu Qinghe touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, then changed the subject neatly, and said, "Brother, do you want to go shopping? Or go upstairs to my office to rest for a while?"
There are still many people nearby, Ye Weixie didn't make things difficult for him, he thought for a while and said: "It's rare to come here, let me go for a stroll."
"it is good."
Yu Qinghe took Ye Weixie around the warehouse.
The place is really big, and Ye Weixie's management is very strict. Every kind of goods is strictly required to be placed in a designated place, and all kinds of cartons and boxes are neatly stacked.
There is also a registration card for entering and exiting the warehouse, the date and quantity, and the person who handled it are clearly written on the side.
However, if the scale is larger, it will not be enough to use all manual labor.
"Is there a warehousing system in place now?" he asked.
Ye Weixie glanced at Ye Weixie in surprise, he didn't expect his brother to know this, but thinking about the company's affairs, the other party read a lot of books, it seems that it is not surprising to know.
He nodded, "Yes, there are already, but they are abroad, not in China."
Ye Weixie pondered for a while after hearing the words, and said: "Can you introduce it? I can ask Paul for you. Their family produces cosmetics, and their demand for storage should be greater than yours."
Then, without waiting for Yu Qinghe's answer, he made a final decision, "Well, I'll ask you next time."
Yu Qinghe smiled, "Okay."
After viewing the warehouse, Ye Weixie followed Yu Qinghe upstairs again.
After entering the office, he purposely rummaged through the old accounts and asked, "Did you do something bad behind my back before? Otherwise, why did everyone react so strongly when I came?"
Yu Qinghe didn't have the nerve to say that he was remembered by others, so he touched the tip of his nose and said, "The people below are ignorant, I'll talk about them later."
"Don't change the subject," Ye Weixie said, "Did the person who came up just come here to inform you? Be honest, be lenient when you confess, and be strict when you resist."
Yu Qinghe said helplessly, "Brother, I really didn't do anything bad."
He was worried that Ye Weixie would come one day, and the people below would offend him if he didn't know him, so he asked all the new employees to get to know the big boss behind him first.
Yes, because Yu Qinghe is a minor, Yu Qinghe's company is now registered under Ye Weixie's name.
It's just embarrassing to say this now.
"Brother, I didn't do anything bad. And look," Yu Qinghe motioned Ye Weixie to look around. The office was just built, and there was nothing in the office except documents and some simple desks and chairs. "What bad things can I do? "
"It's better not to." Ye Weixie sat on the sofa by the window, "Otherwise I will spank your ass."
"..."
Yu Qinghe's ears turned red unconsciously, he pursed his lower lip, pretended to pour water and turned his back, and when he turned back, his face had returned to normal, "Why do you come here when you have time?"
"Come out for a stroll today if you're not busy." Ye Weixie took the cup and held it in his hands to keep warm without drinking it. "It happens that I can't make up my mind about something, so I'll ask you."
Yu Qing and Wen Yan sat down opposite him, "What's the matter?"
Ye Weixie said: "Didn't I say that I wanted to go to Lucheng to open up wasteland? But now that the inventory is exhausted, I'm a little hesitant to go, but the place has already been rented."
At that time, I was worried that it would be difficult to do it temporarily, so I asked Hu Rui to book it. I didn't expect it to be difficult now.
"Is the rent expensive?" Yu Qinghe asked.
Ye Weixie shook his head, "It's okay."
Because the location is actually not very prosperous, and the development level of the city itself, the rent is not that high.
"Then don't worry about it." Yu Qinghe said, "Isn't the store in Yangcheng going to open soon? After you finish this side, you can think about the other side. And I think you should consider it in the province instead of thinking about such a far away place." Open one in the city?"
It's not that Ye Weixie had never thought about opening a shop in the provincial capital, but first, he felt it was unnecessary because it was only a two-hour drive from Jingcheng to the provincial capital; second, he didn't have so much energy.
But if Lucheng doesn't do it first, you can consider opening a mid-to-high-end store in the provincial capital like Yangcheng.
"Then let me think about it." Ye Weixie said.
But thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible. Anyway, the experience and goods are ready-made now, and it will be enough to reproduce it when the time comes.
It's the shop...
He hesitated between asking Huang Yunna's father, Huang Zhi, and looking for it by himself, and finally decided to look for it by himself.
In the afternoon, Ye Weixi stayed until Yu Qinghe finished his work before going home together.
After dinner at home, Yu Qinghe was busy reading, Ye Weixie had finished his studies recently, and was busy painting for the time being.
He didn't think about Zheng Hui until he went to bed.
Although he fooled Zheng Hui away today, as long as he goes back and thinks about it carefully, he will know that the logic he gave is not completely rigorous, so it is still easy to get into a corner.
Forget this, at worst, he will give enlightenment again.
But what makes him feel troublesome is that he feels that Zheng Hui has lost the enthusiasm he had when he first wanted to start a business.
He is also working very hard now, even desperately, but in fact he is very dull. He was full of vigor before, and he did not hesitate to quit his job to take over as the factory manager in order to start a business.
But after only half a year, the other party's passion is gone.
Ye Weixie felt that this could not go on like this, otherwise Zheng Hui might stop here in his life.
He thought about his choice of words, briefly told Yu Qinghe what happened today, and asked what should be done better.
Yu Qinghe didn't think it was a big deal, "It's not exciting. It's enough to stimulate it."
Ye Weixie was taken aback, "Stimulate it? How?"
Yu Qinghe: "Why did he start his own business in the first place?"
Ye Weixie hardly had to think about it, and said, "Because his father didn't agree with his development philosophy."
"Isn't there someone to choose?" Yu Qinghe said.
Ye Weixie frowned and thought for a moment, "You mean, let his father come and stimulate him?"
Yu Qinghe pulled the quilt for Ye Weixie, and whispered: "Do you think there is anyone better than this?"
Ye Weixie thought about it, there really wasn't one.
"Then I'll talk to Mr. Zheng another day."
"Ah."
"That's right." Ye Weixie shrank back into the bed and said, "I want to hire a vice president of production recently, if you know someone, you can introduce me to..."
Before the last word was finished, someone had already fallen asleep.
Yu Qinghe hilariously tucked the quilt up for him, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
It was only in the middle of the night that he was suddenly awakened by the heat, and only then did he realize that someone who had wrapped himself up like a silkworm baby before going to bed had somehow run into his bed.
His limbs were even more tightly wrapped around him like an octopus.
Yu Qinghe couldn't push the person away, he would moan and get angry if he tried too hard, and finally he could only let him lie on his stomach.
In the darkness, Yu Qinghe smiled silently.
Sweet dreams, bro.
The author has something to say:
Ye Weixie called all the salesmen back for a meeting, including Wu Xiaozhen and two shop assistants.
He originally wanted to arrange for the four newly recruited people to go to Yangcheng, but then he thought about it, maybe the previous people also wanted to go?So just notify them all.
As for whether there are any extra people to sign up, we will see when the time comes.
There are also four new recruits.
According to his original plan, he planned to recruit only two people, a store manager and a deputy store manager, and the rest of the salespersons would be recruited locally in Yangcheng, but after discussing with Yu Qinghe, he still felt that it would be more appropriate to recruit two more.
One is that it can be cultivated as a reserve cadre, and the other is that it can improve the sense of competition, otherwise future generations will be lazy after a long time, which is not conducive to development.
The most important point is to achieve mutual checks and balances. Otherwise, if they are far away, they will be beyond their reach and prone to problems.
After all the people arrived, Ye Weixie got straight to the point, "Everyone should have heard more or less that our store in Yangcheng, Yuyan Yuyan, will open on New Year's Day, and before that, we need to get all the staff ready."
"So I asked you to come here today to ask if you are willing to go to Yangcheng."
After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the various expressions on everyone's faces, and turned directly to Hu Rui, asking Hu Rui to introduce the situation of the Yangcheng store to everyone.
Twenty minutes later, Hu Rui asked after finishing speaking, "Do you have any questions?"
Qin Yu among the four raised his hand, "What was our past position?"
Ye Weixie: "It depends on your performance."
The other party was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Hu Ruidao: "After the opening of the new store, there will be a three-month inspection period. During this period, the candidates will take turns to take on the role of store manager. As for how long it will take, it depends on the final number of applicants."
"Finally, it depends on everyone's overall performance. The first two are the store manager and the deputy store manager. The rest can stay as salespersons. Of course, if you don't want to do it, you can leave."
"Are these the only options?" someone asked.
"Yes, if we don't want to stay, can we come back to Jingcheng to do it?"
"No." Hu Rui said, "There are only so many positions. Since you have decided to go to Yangcheng, it means that the position in Jingcheng will be filled by someone. It is impossible for us to wait for three months with an empty position."
"So please think seriously." Ye Weixie said.
"What is the content of the investigation?" Wu Xiaozhen asked suddenly.
Hu Rui glanced at the other party and said, "The content of the assessment will be kept secret for the time being."
"This……"
Immediately, they started whispering.
"I want to assess, but I don't know what to assess, what should I do?"
"Actually, you can be a salesperson, right?"
"Then why do you have to run so far? Why don't you just stay in Jingcheng?"
"The wages are high over there."
……
tuk tuk-
Ye Weixie suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the table, the meeting room fell silent instantly.
He looked around and said, "I will announce the content of the investigation after the final dust settles, but I can reveal one thing, that is, sales will be one of the content of the assessment. As for the proportion, I cannot announce it for the time being."
"I know it's hard to make a decision, so everyone can think about it slowly."
Hu Rui added: "Starting today, the registration will be valid within five days, and there will be no waiting for expiration."
"There is another point," Ye Weixie said as if he just remembered, "The store manager is not static. After officially taking up the job, there will be a quarterly assessment. If the two consecutive assessments fail at that time , the store manager will also be replaced.”
Who will be responsible for the replaced store manager is beyond words.
Sure enough, after saying this, everyone's eyes lit up.
There is still a chance.
Hu Rui just watched helplessly as everyone was excited at first, then confused, and finally felt as if they had been beaten.
He couldn't help feeling that the boss was indeed the boss.
"Dismiss!"
Back in the office, Ye Weixie confirmed the specific schedule with Hu Rui again.
Half an hour after everything was done, Ye Weixie stretched his waist and said, "Go out and do some work, and call Manager Zheng for me."
"Okay." Hu Rui nodded and quickly left the office.
Two minutes later, Zheng Hui came over.
When Ye Weixie saw the person, he was startled.
He knew that due to the surge in orders recently, everyone was very busy, and Zheng Hui, who was in charge of the company's chores, was not too far behind, and his work was trivial, so he often worked overtime until eight or nine in the evening.
Ye Weixie persuaded him not to work so hard after meeting him once or twice, but probably because of the past, he didn't listen to the other party, and wanted to work hard for the company every day to make him feel better. .
He was also worried that the depression in the other party's heart would not dissipate, and it would become a bad depression after a long time, so he didn't persuade him anymore, thinking that it would be good to talk for a while.
But now it seems that Zheng Hui is on the tip of his horns.
If things go on like this, people may become useless.
"Your dark circles are so heavy that you can drip ink." Ye Weixie got up to pour water for him, and asked at the same time, "How long has it been since you had a good rest?"
"No way." Zheng Hui opened the chair and sat down and said, "I've been too busy recently."
Seeing Ye Weixie pouring water for him, he stood up again to grab the cup, "I can do it myself."
Ye Weixie sideways dodged, "No, you sit down."
His volume and tone did not change, but after being the boss for a long time, he inevitably had the aura of a superior, so although Zheng Hui was reluctant, he finally sat down awkwardly.
Ye Weixie didn't miss the disappointment that flashed across the other's face.
Yu Qinghe was right, from the day they became superiors and subordinates, their friendship could no longer be equal.
He sighed in his heart, and pretended that he didn't see anything, put the cup in front of Zheng Hui, then opened the chair and sat down, and said, "Didn't you ask you to hire an assistant last time? You haven't hired anyone yet." ?”
Zheng Hui lowered his eyes to get the cup, took advantage of the situation to suppress the strangeness in his eyes, and said, "It's so easy to recruit an assistant."
It depends on what kind of assistant to recruit, Ye Weixi thought.
If Hu Rui is as omnipotent and can do everything, of course it will not be easy.But if you just need someone to process documents, answer a phone call, or send notifications, it's easy to find someone.
He hesitated for a while, but finally chose to speak directly.
He looked at Zheng Hui and asked, "Is it difficult to recruit, or is it not going to be recruited?"
Zheng Hui didn't expect Ye Weixie to ask such a straightforward question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "Of course it's not good..."
It's a pity that Zheng Hui couldn't continue talking here, because he met Ye Weixie's eyes.
Ye Weixie's peach-blossom eyes are undoubtedly good-looking, round and energetic, and there is a deep emotion in them when he focuses on people.But this time, Tao Hua's eyes were full of jokes.
It seems to be saying - let me see how long you can pretend?
Zheng Hui just got stuck, and once some words get stuck, it is not so easy to continue.And with Ye Weixie looking at him like that, how could he continue talking?
In the end, he could only shut his mouth embarrassingly.
"Stop talking?" Ye Weixie glanced at him and said, "Stop talking, then I will talk."
Zheng Hui was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, "I haven't stopped, I..."
Just started but don't know how to continue, saying that I can't think about it for a while?Or does he not need an assistant?
Ye Weixie sighed, it seems that what happened last time still framed him.
Finally, he thought about it, and he straightened his expression and spread out: "Brother Zheng, I know what kind of person you are, and you also know what kind of person I am if you want to come, we don't need to come to those fake people, what can you say?" Just say it."
Zheng Hui didn't speak.
Still hesitating when seeing people, Ye Weixie simply added fuel to the fire, "It was already tiring to meet people talking nonsense outside. Now it's just the two of us here, besides the superiors and subordinates, we are also Friend, so don't make me guess."
"Or what did I do wrong that made you unhappy?"
"No." As soon as Ye Weixie said these words, Zheng Hui couldn't sit still, and quickly explained, "Nothing, I just can't pass the test in my heart."
Last time he said that he would be punished, but in the end he was only deducted a few months of bonuses, and the rest of the punishment was not given at all, which made it difficult for him to sit in the position of "Manager Zheng" with peace of mind.
Sure enough.
Ye Weixie pondered for a while, and asked, "What do you think of me treating Chu Jun?"
"Very good." Zheng Hui said.
So good that everyone thinks it's a bit too much.
For Chu Jun to do such a thing, it stands to reason that it would be light to expel him directly, but Ye Weixie did not do so.
Not only did he not fire people, but he also asked people to resign themselves.In the end, when Chu Jun left, he also gave the previous commission to the other party, and finally gave him a letter of recommendation.
Even he couldn't see it.
It can be said that such a boss is only seen in his life.
Ye Weixie said: "Since I can be so good to Chu Jun, why can't I be good to you? Could it be that Brother Zheng feels that you are not as good as Chu Jun with me?"
"Or, do you think I don't know right from wrong?"
"No." Zheng Hui shook his head in denial.
"Then why can't you pass the test in your heart?" Ye Weixie asked: "Human Chu Jun can accept it with such peace of mind, why do you think it's not possible?"
"This..." Zheng Hui was dumbfounded by the question. He wanted to say something different, but he couldn't tell what was different.
Seeing that it was useful, Ye Weixie insisted, "Do you think it makes sense?"
Zheng Hui nodded subconsciously, "Yes."
Ye Weixie immediately said: "That's right."
"If you really feel sorry for me, then don't think about it so much in the future. It is the last word to work hard for me. But let me say it first, what I want is a long-term job, not for you to overdraw your health and work hard .”
"Don't be able to work for me for three to fifty years at that time, but in the end I can only work for a few years because I am too tired, then I will lose a lot of money."
Zheng Hui originally wanted to say that he was not that fragile, and that it was no big problem to work overtime for a few days, but seeing Ye Weixie's expression of "Don't let me suffer", the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Okay, I see, I will pay attention to rest in the future."
"That's right. A combination of work and rest is the long-term solution." Speaking of this, Ye Weixie remembered the last time he talked to Yu Qinghe about team building when he was in Yangcheng, but he met Song Yan later. , has been busy.
In the end, I ran out of skills and forgot about it.
Thinking about it now, he said, "Speaking of which, I just have something for you to do."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Hui immediately said, "Say it."
Ye Weixie said: "Recently, there are a lot of orders, and everyone is very busy, so I want to find a time to organize everyone to go out and relax together, like a day trip to the park, so it should be considered as a team building."
"Oh, team building is team building. Generally speaking, some activities or games can be organized to enhance the cohesion of employees and make everyone feel more belonging to the company."
Worried that Zheng Hui didn't understand, he gave another example and said, "It's like when it was hot in the past, didn't I often buy soda and ice cream for the female workers on the production line?"
"Did they get a little closer to the company after eating my food?"
It was the first time Zheng Hui heard this kind of statement, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he was right. The female workers on the production line really didn't say anything to Ye Weixie.
I didn't see the last time I heard that there was a problem with the raw material, and they recommended a small manufacturer.
Oh, it is now the factory invested by Ye Weixie and Yu Qinghe.
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Zheng Hui said.
Ye Weixie nodded, "Then you make a plan and give it to me when the time comes."
"No problem." Zheng Hui quickly wrote down everything.
Ye Weixie didn't ask until someone stopped writing, "Have you memorized it all?"
Zheng Hui nodded, "Okay."
"Then let's get down to business now." Saying this, Ye Weixie opened the drawer and took out a piece of drawing paper.
Hearing the business, Zheng Hui immediately sat upright.
Seeing Ye Weixie take out the drawing paper, he thought it was his new drawing, but when the drawing paper was spread out in front of him, he realized it was not. Just as he was about to see what it was, he heard Ye Weixie say: " Here's my organizational chart."
Zheng Hui was taken aback, "Organizational chart?"
"Yes," Ye Weixie turned the drawing paper in a different direction, motioned Zheng Hui to move closer, and then pointed to the position listed above and said, "I am the general manager, and I am mainly in charge of sales and purchasing, as well as the design department."
"You are the deputy general manager. You are mainly in charge of personnel administration and finance. But now that our company is small, administration will be put under the personnel department first, and we will talk about it when the company expands in the future."
In fact, he originally wanted to assign procurement to Zheng Hui's side. After all, the other party was from procurement. He wanted to say not to waste this talent, but in the end he thought about it and forgot it. It is unreasonable to put procurement and administration together.
When Zheng Hui heard that he was the deputy general manager, he subconsciously refused, but he was relieved when he thought of what Ye Weixie said before.
Just like what Ye Weixie said, just work hard and don't think so much about what you have and what you don't have.
At this moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong, "Where's the production department?"
"That's what I want to say," Ye Weixie said, "Because there are many things under the production department, there are not only production lines to manage, but also quality inspection and warehouse management, and there are two factories, so I plan to recruit A deputy general manager will be in charge of this area."
"But this is not a good move." Zheng Hui directly pointed out the difficulty.
In order to manage the production of the two factories well, one must have rich experience and be able to hold people down, otherwise it is easy to act like a monster.
Ye Weixie also understands this truth, the vice president is not an ordinary employee, and it is really not easy to recruit the right one.
He thought for a while, and said, "So you see if there are any uncles you knew before who want to change jobs or who are laid off are suitable candidates."
Zheng Hui recalled it, but he really didn't remember it.Of course, it may be that he is a junior so he doesn't know. Finally, after thinking about it, he asked, "Do you mind if I consult my dad?"
Worried about Ye Weixie's worries, he added: "Don't worry, I dare not say anything else. In principle, my father is still very reliable."
Ye Weixie smiled and said: "Of course I believe Mr. Zheng, then I will leave this matter to you."
"it is good."
"Then you take care of your own assistant." Ye Weixie explained again.
Zheng Hui smiled and said, "I know."
"Then first."
"Ah."
After Zheng Hui left, Ye Weixie suddenly found himself idle.
Now that there are too many people, the work has been subdivided and there is a special person in charge. Even if it is a phone call, Hu Rui will help him filter it in advance.
After sitting for a while, he found that there was really nothing to do, and he was really lazy and didn't want to work, so he simply packed up his things and left early.
Also, Yu Qinghe's new factory was completed a few days ago, and he hasn't seen it yet. Since he has time today, he just went for a stroll and gave the child a surprise by the way.
Oh, and it could be a shock, too, if the child does something wrong on the sly.
After putting away his things and saying hello to Hu Rui that he had something to go out, Ye Weixie left quickly.
"boss?"
Ye Weixie was stopped by someone as soon as he left the factory door.
He looked back and found that the one who stopped him was none other than Xu Yuan, the designer who had just been recruited not long ago.
Xu Yuan is 34 years old this year, with an oval face and long curly hair. She looks very fashionable in a camel-colored windbreaker, a white sweater and jeans, and boots on her feet.
"Teacher Xu?" Ye Weixie looked around calmly, not understanding why Xu Yuan was here, but he didn't ask directly, but asked, "Are you busy?"
"It's okay," Xu Yuan explained with a smile, "it's just that the office is a little stuffy, and I feel a little dizzy from drawing pictures, so come out to get some air."
"Thanks for your hard work." Ye Weixie said, "But it's cold now, you can breathe, but don't catch a cold."
Xu Yuan had a quiet smile on her face, "Thank you boss for your concern, I'll go back right away."
"Okay." Ye Weixie waved his hand, "Then I'll go first, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Xu Yuan watched Ye Weixie's back disappear behind the trees before turning back to the office.
Now that the weather is cold, Ye Weixie didn't take a taxi and took the bus directly.
Recently, he has been riding a lot in the car, and he is not as dizzy as before, but he still feels a little bit occasionally. For example, now, the person sitting in front of him does not know what he is carrying, and he feels a little uncomfortable because of the sour smell.
Fortunately, the two sides are not far from each other, and it took only four or ten minutes to get there.
After getting off the bus, I walked for a few minutes before seeing a large warehouse.
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of goods, the big iron gate occupies one wall, but there will be no goods, so the big iron gate is not opened, but only a small one-person-wide iron gate on the big iron gate.
Ye Weixie walked over and knocked on the iron door, "Is anyone there?"
Hearing the voice inside, someone quickly came out to check, "Looking for... Boss Ye?"
???
Ye Weixie was taken aback by the shout of 'Boss Ye', and was about to see if he knew someone, when the other person turned around and shouted inside, "Hurry up and tell the boss, Boss Ye is here!"
Following this shout, there was a burst of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong footsteps coming from inside, "I'm going!!!"
"Hurry up!"
Ye Weixie: ...
He suspects that these people are up to something bad, and he has proof.
"Hey," the young man who just poked his head out to look around quickly ran out around the table, and said with a smile, "Boss Ye, please come in."
Ye Weixie walked in suspiciously, "You know me?"
The young man evaded his eyes and said, "I heard about it from Boss Yu before."
He didn't dare to say that the first thing they do when they join the job is to recognize people with Ye Weixie's photo, and they must be able to recognize them at a glance.
Ye Weixi didn't believe it at all, "You can recognize me after hearing about it?"
"This..." Before the young man could find an excuse to fool around, he saw Yu Qinghe running down the stairs in two steps at a time. He was relieved immediately, "The boss is here."
"Brother!" Suddenly hearing Ye Weixie's arrival, Yu Qinghe was both surprised and delighted, and ran down quickly, so when he got in front of Ye Weixie, he was still panting, "Why are you here?"
Ye Weixie looked at him with a smile and asked, "Can't I come?"
"No, my local brother can come whenever he wants." Afraid of Ye Weixie's misunderstanding, Yu Qinghe hurriedly explained, "I just want to ask if my brother is in the company? Why do you have time to come?"
Ye Weixie: "Come check the post."
He spoke righteously, but it was a pity that he was recognized before he even entered the door.
The young man at the side froze when he heard Cha Gang, turned around and ran, "Boss, I remembered that I have something to do first." After speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
"..." Yu Qinghe.
Ye Weixie smiled and said, "Does it seem like there is no silver 300 taels here?"
"..."
Yu Qinghe touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, then changed the subject neatly, and said, "Brother, do you want to go shopping? Or go upstairs to my office to rest for a while?"
There are still many people nearby, Ye Weixie didn't make things difficult for him, he thought for a while and said: "It's rare to come here, let me go for a stroll."
"it is good."
Yu Qinghe took Ye Weixie around the warehouse.
The place is really big, and Ye Weixie's management is very strict. Every kind of goods is strictly required to be placed in a designated place, and all kinds of cartons and boxes are neatly stacked.
There is also a registration card for entering and exiting the warehouse, the date and quantity, and the person who handled it are clearly written on the side.
However, if the scale is larger, it will not be enough to use all manual labor.
"Is there a warehousing system in place now?" he asked.
Ye Weixie glanced at Ye Weixie in surprise, he didn't expect his brother to know this, but thinking about the company's affairs, the other party read a lot of books, it seems that it is not surprising to know.
He nodded, "Yes, there are already, but they are abroad, not in China."
Ye Weixie pondered for a while after hearing the words, and said: "Can you introduce it? I can ask Paul for you. Their family produces cosmetics, and their demand for storage should be greater than yours."
Then, without waiting for Yu Qinghe's answer, he made a final decision, "Well, I'll ask you next time."
Yu Qinghe smiled, "Okay."
After viewing the warehouse, Ye Weixie followed Yu Qinghe upstairs again.
After entering the office, he purposely rummaged through the old accounts and asked, "Did you do something bad behind my back before? Otherwise, why did everyone react so strongly when I came?"
Yu Qinghe didn't have the nerve to say that he was remembered by others, so he touched the tip of his nose and said, "The people below are ignorant, I'll talk about them later."
"Don't change the subject," Ye Weixie said, "Did the person who came up just come here to inform you? Be honest, be lenient when you confess, and be strict when you resist."
Yu Qinghe said helplessly, "Brother, I really didn't do anything bad."
He was worried that Ye Weixie would come one day, and the people below would offend him if he didn't know him, so he asked all the new employees to get to know the big boss behind him first.
Yes, because Yu Qinghe is a minor, Yu Qinghe's company is now registered under Ye Weixie's name.
It's just embarrassing to say this now.
"Brother, I didn't do anything bad. And look," Yu Qinghe motioned Ye Weixie to look around. The office was just built, and there was nothing in the office except documents and some simple desks and chairs. "What bad things can I do? "
"It's better not to." Ye Weixie sat on the sofa by the window, "Otherwise I will spank your ass."
"..."
Yu Qinghe's ears turned red unconsciously, he pursed his lower lip, pretended to pour water and turned his back, and when he turned back, his face had returned to normal, "Why do you come here when you have time?"
"Come out for a stroll today if you're not busy." Ye Weixie took the cup and held it in his hands to keep warm without drinking it. "It happens that I can't make up my mind about something, so I'll ask you."
Yu Qing and Wen Yan sat down opposite him, "What's the matter?"
Ye Weixie said: "Didn't I say that I wanted to go to Lucheng to open up wasteland? But now that the inventory is exhausted, I'm a little hesitant to go, but the place has already been rented."
At that time, I was worried that it would be difficult to do it temporarily, so I asked Hu Rui to book it. I didn't expect it to be difficult now.
"Is the rent expensive?" Yu Qinghe asked.
Ye Weixie shook his head, "It's okay."
Because the location is actually not very prosperous, and the development level of the city itself, the rent is not that high.
"Then don't worry about it." Yu Qinghe said, "Isn't the store in Yangcheng going to open soon? After you finish this side, you can think about the other side. And I think you should consider it in the province instead of thinking about such a far away place." Open one in the city?"
It's not that Ye Weixie had never thought about opening a shop in the provincial capital, but first, he felt it was unnecessary because it was only a two-hour drive from Jingcheng to the provincial capital; second, he didn't have so much energy.
But if Lucheng doesn't do it first, you can consider opening a mid-to-high-end store in the provincial capital like Yangcheng.
"Then let me think about it." Ye Weixie said.
But thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible. Anyway, the experience and goods are ready-made now, and it will be enough to reproduce it when the time comes.
It's the shop...
He hesitated between asking Huang Yunna's father, Huang Zhi, and looking for it by himself, and finally decided to look for it by himself.
In the afternoon, Ye Weixi stayed until Yu Qinghe finished his work before going home together.
After dinner at home, Yu Qinghe was busy reading, Ye Weixie had finished his studies recently, and was busy painting for the time being.
He didn't think about Zheng Hui until he went to bed.
Although he fooled Zheng Hui away today, as long as he goes back and thinks about it carefully, he will know that the logic he gave is not completely rigorous, so it is still easy to get into a corner.
Forget this, at worst, he will give enlightenment again.
But what makes him feel troublesome is that he feels that Zheng Hui has lost the enthusiasm he had when he first wanted to start a business.
He is also working very hard now, even desperately, but in fact he is very dull. He was full of vigor before, and he did not hesitate to quit his job to take over as the factory manager in order to start a business.
But after only half a year, the other party's passion is gone.
Ye Weixie felt that this could not go on like this, otherwise Zheng Hui might stop here in his life.
He thought about his choice of words, briefly told Yu Qinghe what happened today, and asked what should be done better.
Yu Qinghe didn't think it was a big deal, "It's not exciting. It's enough to stimulate it."
Ye Weixie was taken aback, "Stimulate it? How?"
Yu Qinghe: "Why did he start his own business in the first place?"
Ye Weixie hardly had to think about it, and said, "Because his father didn't agree with his development philosophy."
"Isn't there someone to choose?" Yu Qinghe said.
Ye Weixie frowned and thought for a moment, "You mean, let his father come and stimulate him?"
Yu Qinghe pulled the quilt for Ye Weixie, and whispered: "Do you think there is anyone better than this?"
Ye Weixie thought about it, there really wasn't one.
"Then I'll talk to Mr. Zheng another day."
"Ah."
"That's right." Ye Weixie shrank back into the bed and said, "I want to hire a vice president of production recently, if you know someone, you can introduce me to..."
Before the last word was finished, someone had already fallen asleep.
Yu Qinghe hilariously tucked the quilt up for him, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
It was only in the middle of the night that he was suddenly awakened by the heat, and only then did he realize that someone who had wrapped himself up like a silkworm baby before going to bed had somehow run into his bed.
His limbs were even more tightly wrapped around him like an octopus.
Yu Qinghe couldn't push the person away, he would moan and get angry if he tried too hard, and finally he could only let him lie on his stomach.
In the darkness, Yu Qinghe smiled silently.
Sweet dreams, bro.
