Chapter 636: Release some catfish to liven up the water

At 8:00 AM, I arrived at Mr. Chen's office on time. Qing Ruo and Ning Jing arrived earlier than me. Ning Jing got up and made tea for me.

Mr. Chen walked from his desk to the middle of the sofa and sat down opposite us:

"I couldn't sleep last night, so I called you three early in the morning and asked you to come to a meeting. You have to change this habit. If you can't sleep yourself, you will disturb others' sleep too." He shook his head helplessly.

"However, it's easier to change a country than a person's character. It's also more difficult to change. As we get older, we tend to be more stubborn and impatient. Whatever we think of in the morning, we want to realize in the afternoon."

Mr. Chen sighed a few times before getting to the point:

"As you all know, this year's tourism is retaliatory. It's New Year's Day, and everyone is open to welcome visitors, but we're just watching the money go unpaid. Let's discuss when our attractions can reopen."

As if they had agreed on it, Qing Ruo and Ning Jing agreed in unison that May Day would be best. For one thing, some projects, like the island, were still under construction. Staff training was a long process, and there was also the Spring Festival holiday, which meant a seven-day holiday.

Mr. Chen looked at me dissatisfied. He seemed to be calling for help and said, "Let's ask Master Wan for some advice. He has a lot of ideas."

I knew Mr. Chen wanted it as soon as possible, so I said, "May 1st is too late. I suggest early March."

Qing Ruo said, "It's too hasty."

I shook my head. "Okishima, the water market doesn't need to be open now. Besides, it's May Day and the temperature isn't too high. There's no need to wait until all the construction is completed before opening."

This has two advantages: first, it allows for earlier arrivals, and second, it lets tourists know we have other projects. It's like a handsome guy looking at an island owner. He sees you're beautiful at first sight, and then hears you graduated from a 211 or 985 university. He thinks, "This woman is not only beautiful, but she must be smart too."

Ningjing smiled.

Qing Ruo rolled her eyes at me and said, "Just talk about work, why do you always like to drag me into this?"

I said, "It's too boring. If you were happy, you wouldn't be so stubborn as to insist on waiting until May Day."

Mr. Chen said, "Shanhong's suggestion is good. Water sports are meant to make money in the summer."

I continued, "Speed ​​up the training. We'll only have one day off for New Year's Day, and the training will end the day before New Year's Eve. During this time, we'll pay overtime wages."

After the Lunar New Year, it was up and running quickly. We started debugging in February. We invited people to experience it. We then identified any deficiencies and made adjustments.”

At this point, I rolled my fingers and said, "It opens on March 10th."

Qing Ruo and Ning Jing were both startled.

Mr. Chen said, "If you need money from Yishanhong, come to me. But if you can't open on time, I'll come to you."

Qing Ruo said, "Then Master Wan will have to personally give a mobilization speech. Three women make a scene, and 80% of female comrades sometimes can't control their speech."

I said, "Okay, gather everyone this afternoon and I'll give them a boost."

Mr. Chen said, "Let's not discuss this any further. Shanhong will stay, and you two can go back."

Qingruo and Ningjing left.

Mr. Chen handed me a cigarette and asked, "Are you sure?"

I picked up the cigarette, paused on the coffee table, lit it, took a puff, exhaled a stream of smoke, and said:

"The trainers Qing Ruo hired are all scholars. They speak very slowly and only focus on academic matters. So the speed is not fast. I think we can pay the trainers as agreed and have people from our company teach the classes instead.

What's with the chopsticks in your mouth? Learn to laugh. That's all bullshit. Laughter should come from the heart. How can you laugh from the heart? It's just that the money is high and the staff can't stop laughing.

Mr. Chen couldn't help laughing.

I said, "Let our hotel's lobby manager and foreman take the classes. Secondly, I will compile lesson plans for the cultural courses and let them read them in their spare time.

This way, we can still have holidays on time. But after the Chinese New Year, when we go back to work, I will assess them. If they fail, I will not let them go and force them to study on their own."

Mr. Chen said, "That's a good idea."

I said, "After the New Year, we'll focus on practical application. All employees will be on duty and we'll conduct a trial run. We'll conduct a comprehensive inspection of the operation. As for the personnel, we'll recruit 100 people from the public, using a registration process and then a lottery to select the 100 people."

These 100 people were named the "100-person experience group" and chose to visit the island on Saturdays and Sundays to experience the island. Afterwards, they held discussions to identify gaps and address shortcomings.

It's just an emotional experience, a personal customization of these two projects, and I'll find two people to experience it myself. Because this is our flagship program."

Mr. Chen said, “You mean February is the month for experience correction?”

"Yes. As for the current tourism, you should talk to Shiyu and Taoist Chen. Develop tourism in Taiyi Mountain."

Chen Xiaoxia, the PR director, is quite good. I instructed her to create a plan, which I'll have her submit to you for review later."

Mr. Chen said, "You make light of important matters and always hit the nail on the head."

I grabbed a cigarette from the coffee table and said, "I'll give you one."

The two of them started smoking.

I said, "Mr. Chen, there's something I feel I must say."

He looked at me.

"A request, a suggestion."

"you say."

I explained my intention to open a studio and the location I had rented. Then I said, "Once Daughter Island opens, I'll resign. That's my request."

Mr. Chen didn't say anything for a long time.

The atmosphere is very depressing.

I said, "I'm not leaving. I'm still a consultant to the Rising Sun Group. I'm here whenever you need me. My idea is to pursue the great path and take on a few apprentices."

Also, I think I have good cultural planning skills, and opening my own studio will help more people make informed decisions.”

Mr. Chen put out his cigarette and asked, "A suggestion?"

"You like to use old people too much. I have said before that you should train new people, but you are still a little nostalgic. I have been in the company for five years, and there are still a few old comrades.

Qing Ruo is quite good, but you entrusted her with important tasks, leaving her no time for romance. Ning Jing, it was only after your trip to Vietnam that you discovered her worth. I brought Shi Yu here.

Looking around, there are few available people, but is that really the case? Not entirely. I think people like Manager Wei are available, and I can also trust Manager Ai, the key account manager. Chen Xiaoxia is fully capable of handling things on her own, and Wu Xiaosong is young, so I'm confident in promoting him.

By moving people, their positions can be filled by others. You're imitating Zhuge Liang, doing everything yourself. But when President Deng opened a hospital in the Philippines, he didn't even go there. He assigned someone named Xiao Liming to take full charge, and he spent his days drinking tea at home.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I'll never forget your kindness in supporting me, so I dare to offer this advice. I've long considered you a brother, so I speak from the heart."

Mr. Chen sighed, wiped his eyes with a napkin, and said after a long while:

"Shanhong, you're right. Absolutely right. Because you and Lao Xiao are close friends, and you know my history well. I still have a certain underworld air about me. I only trust people I've known for a long time, and I'm not good at promoting young people or newcomers.

How do you think these people are going to be used?"

"Tanhuali has entered a stable state. There's no need to keep a general like Lao Xiao stuck in a job where he just lays bricks every day. He should be made the Executive Vice President and take charge of the overall affairs.

Qingruo was taken out to take charge of tourism.

Manager Wei was transferred from the Sunrise Hotel to take charge of Daughter Island. Since it was almost entirely staffed by women, a man had to be assigned to manage it.

Manager Ai from the key account department serves as the general manager of the hotel.

Chen Xiaoxia was selected to replace Lao Xiao in the third place.

Wu Xiaosong is the assistant to the general manager and is in charge of the company's entire marketing, including tourism marketing, real estate marketing, and mineral water marketing.

Promote Wen Jing to Deputy Director of the Public Relations Department, acting as Director."

Mr. Chen had no objection to the previous adjustments, but he kept shaking his head at the sudden appointment of Wu Xiaosong as Assistant General Manager and Wen Jing as Deputy Director.

I said, "You think you're too young, right? I think the Sunrise company is too old. If we don't introduce some new talent, it'll become a stagnant pool. If you don't like it, why don't you become a top salesperson? You'll get a promotion, too."

Mr. Chen said, "Shanhong, you've requested to resign many times, and I'm letting you go. You've been a great help to me both professionally and personally."

You have nothing to regret, but the compensation I paid you was too little. You must keep it confidential and not tell anyone in the company, including Lao Xiao.

Third, I need to think carefully about the company's personnel adjustments."

I said, "Okay then. I'm going to Daughter Island now to have lunch and have a meeting this afternoon."

Mr. Chen stood up and shook hands with me tightly.

Finally, he shook it three times before letting go.

I got out of the sunrise, got in the car, and let out a long breath.

I've finally said everything I need to say. Whether he listens or not is his business. But I, Wan Shanhong, must get things done and build Daughter Island into a good place.

Walk--

The car left Xuri, drove out of the city, and sped towards Daughter Island.
