After comforting the employees in the office, Chu Yinyin took Chen Yan to the office next door.
Since the company started very smoothly, with Allen Chu's generous membership purchases and Chen Yan's transfer of money to the company's account, the company's early funding problems were perfectly solved.
So Chu Yinyin stopped being so stingy and rented another office to serve as her own office and a conference room for the company's regular meetings.
"I plan to pay the company's five social insurances and one housing fund at the highest standard. The provident fund contribution rate in Qindao fluctuates between 5% and 12%. Most companies pay the minimum of 5%, which is unfair to employees. Therefore, I require the HR and Finance departments to pay 12%."
Chu Yinyin asked Chen Yan to sit on the sofa, poured him a cup of tea, and then said, "The payment ratio of the five social insurances will also be paid according to the highest value. This approach will probably increase our employment costs by about half.
If an employee's fixed salary is 10,000 yuan a month, we need to pay a total of 15,000 yuan in salary plus insurance every month. But I think this money is worth spending, as it provides a guarantee for the employees' livelihoods."
Chen Yan nodded and said, "Of course, we are not those black-hearted capitalists. When the company already has a clear monetization method and monetization prospects, it is meaningless to deduct the labor costs of employees. We should give them the full treatment and pay them in full.
"We shouldn't offer salaries that disrupt the market, but we should at least ensure that our employees earn top-tier salaries within their respective industries and positions. We should make our employees proud to be part of our company and ensure that they all live a decent life. This is what we should do."
Chu Yinyin agreed, "I think so too. If the company is truly in the most difficult period of its start-up, then we can only treat our employees to the best of our ability and ensure survival first. But our situation is obviously not like that, so there is naturally no need to be so fussy about employee treatment.
I originally thought you wouldn't agree with my idea, and I even prepared a set of speeches specifically for you to convince you. But I didn't expect you to be more visionary than I thought. At least in your attitude towards employees, you are far more decisive than many so-called famous entrepreneurs."
Chen Yan was speechless. "You're saying that, as if I'm the kind of stingy person who won't spend a penny. It's not like I haven't worked before, so how could I not understand their thoughts? Who really wants to work? It's all because of life's pressure."
There are indeed some people who possess ideals and a fighting spirit, who want to gain experience through work, with the ultimate goal of starting their own business and becoming trendsetters of their time. But such people are so rare, so few and far between.
The vast majority of people work simply to earn money to support themselves. So, you absolutely can't discuss ideals with your employees. Almost all of them would rather not work. Everyone works so hard, so why make things difficult for them?
Chu Yinyin smiled and said, "You're right, but the butt determines the head. A person's thoughts are determined by his position. Normally, since you're a boss, you'll have the boss's mindset and are unlikely to put yourself in the employees' shoes. Of course, it seems you're not that kind of person now. I was just being petty."
Chen Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "What about you? After all, I've always been a hard-working worker. I can naturally empathize with the hardships of ordinary workers. But you're not like that, right? Given your family background, you should have lived in an extremely comfortable environment since childhood. Your job after graduation was arranged by your family, and you became a leader at such a young age. How can you understand the hardships of ordinary workers?"
Chu Yinyin shrugged and said, "I just have a good life, but I'm not completely out of touch with the real world. Information is so widespread these days, and whether you're in the upper or lower classes, there are only barriers to living, not barriers to information acquisition.
Things like the ancient times, where poor people imagined the emperor carrying a golden hoe and tilling the land, would never happen in modern society. You can understand the thoughts of those working people you mentioned by watching more short videos. What's so difficult about that?
Chen Yan gave Chu Yinyin a thumbs-up and praised her, "Not bad, very perceptive. So, may I ask, what is it that Miss Chu can't tell me over the phone, but must wait until I get to the company to tell me in person?"
Chu Yinyin sighed and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that it's rare for me to get through to you on the phone, so it's a good opportunity for you to come to the company and take a good look at the employees I've hired. Otherwise, you wouldn't see anyone from morning to night, and the employees wouldn't even know who the boss of the company is. That would be too unreasonable."
Chen Yan coughed dryly and said embarrassedly, "Thank you for your hard work, but the company belongs to both of us. It doesn't really matter whether they see me or not. After all, they are all employees you recruited, and they are responsible for your work. It's enough for them to know you."
Chu Yinyin shook her head and said, "That's not the case. If a company wants to operate for a long time, it needs to establish its own corporate culture. Many companies like to talk about the so-called wolf culture, but I don't agree with that. The key to wolf culture is to allow the wolves to eat meat.
A wolf that consistently eats meat is a true wolf. If you feed the wolf shit every day, you're just a dog. Many small companies, despite their small size, have numerous problems. I don't want our company to become like that. I want our company to be more welcoming, like a big family.
Since this is a big family, you are naturally the head of the family. As the head of the family, you must shoulder the responsibilities of the head of the family. You can't just be a hands-off boss. If you have time on weekdays, you should come to the company to check it out. Also, my father will be coming to Qindao tomorrow."
"Ah? Ah! Your dad is coming to Qindao tomorrow? Why so sudden? Didn't he say he would be here in a while?"
Chen Yan was caught off guard by Chu Yinyin's turn.
Chu Yinyin said helplessly, "I originally said I'd finish everything I had on hand before coming here, but my dad was so impressed by our company's products that he decided to purchase an annual membership on behalf of the company. He then held a brief meeting with the company's top executives. Immediately after the meeting, he canceled all other plans and booked a flight to Qindao."
