After hearing Zhang Xudong's question, Dunzi scratched his head and said:
“We now have fifty-three brothers joining the company.
These are young men between the ages of 17 and 24.
The president asked the older people to stay at the dock or do other jobs.
We have been training every day during this period, and everyone has been training very seriously."
Zhang Xudong nodded after hearing this, as long as he knew that training was enough.
Don't do nothing all day long, just eat and sleep, sleep and eat. That will only make you sick.
"Where did you train? What did you train for?"
"Master, we go running every morning.
After running, they would lift stone locks to build strength, then those who practiced swords and spears would practice swords and spears, those who practiced sticks would practice sticks, and those who knew how to box would practice boxing."
Zhang Xudong was speechless after hearing what Dunzi said. Is his second uncle still using the training method of the old army?
It would be weird if qualified security personnel could be trained in this way.
However, he did not point out the shortcomings of this training in front of these people. He could not let his second uncle lose his prestige.
Zhang Xudong changed the subject and said:
"Daily training is essential. Only when everyone has practiced their skills well can they avoid being at a disadvantage when something bad happens.
Dunzi, what are your current salary and benefits regulations?"
Dunzi said happily after hearing what Zhang Xudong said:
"The president said that everyone will be paid $100 for the time being. That's much better than us doing hard labor, right?"
Zhang Xudong nodded and said:
"One hundred dollars a day is not bad. It's not a small amount. I think everyone can save some money."
Dunzi and the others were stunned after hearing Zhang Xudong's words, and then quickly said:
"My dear cousin, you misunderstood me. I meant a hundred dollars a month, not a hundred dollars a day.
Those educated people working in big companies only earn around 200 yuan a month.
How can we, who can barely read, dream of such a high salary?
Zhang Xudong knew there was a misunderstanding when he heard it, so he continued to ask:
"One hundred dollars a month, is that enough for the family? How are everyone's meals?"
"My dear cousin, one hundred dollars is enough for the family.
We used to carry bags at the dock or do odd jobs. Not only did we earn very little money a month, but we also had no work from time to time.
Now, not only do I get a fixed salary every month, but the company also provides medical expenses and pensions if I get injured or die.
Now many people envy us and want to work in our company."
Several people were talking to each other with proud faces.
After they all quieted down, Zhang Xudong continued to ask:
"How are we going to get food and lodging for everyone? Do we have a temporary base?"
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, Dunzi said:
“Except for the brothers who are on duty at the dock and here during the day, everyone else is exercising in the courtyard of the guild hall.
When it’s time to eat, we take turns going home to eat.
At night, except for the brothers who took turns on duty, everyone else went home to sleep."
Zhang Xudong frowned after hearing what Dunzi said.
This kind of management is really a gang style, free and undisciplined, and a mess.
In such a group, he survives entirely by relying on his personal charm as the boss.
Just like those wolves, once the wolf king has problems,
This group either has internal strife, faces disintegration, or is swallowed up by others.
Zhang Xudong sighed deeply. It seemed that his second uncle really couldn't run this company.
You have to do everything from the beginning step by step.
"Master, why are you squatting here with them? It would be embarrassing if outsiders saw you."
Zhang Xudong was thinking about his problems and feeling worried when Hu Minghai's voice rang out from behind the crowd.
"Brother Hai, have you rested well? That's nothing, just chatting with the brothers.
Brother Hai, how many people can be accommodated in the Chinese Workers' Hall? Just calculate it by assuming they all have bunk beds.
Is there a place to cook inside? Is it big?"
Hu Minghai was a little confused when he heard Zhang Xudong's question, but after thinking for a while he said:
"Master Cousin, if we renovate the guild hall a bit and convert everyone's rooms into bunk beds, it could probably accommodate about 120 to 130 people, right?
If we put beds in the large conference room, it can accommodate more than 30 people.
There is no ready-made kitchen in our guild hall.
However, the yard behind the building is quite large.
We could build a few rooms along the backyard wall to serve as kitchens.”
Zhang Xudong nodded and asked, "Does this guild hall usually have many people visiting it?
Can we rent it for a year or two?"
The young men all laughed when they heard this. Hu Minghai glared at them and then said:
"My dear cousin, this guild hall is actually the president's personal property.
Normally, we are the only ones who go there, and only when there is something important will we call some representatives to hold a meeting.
The rest of the time, everyone is busy making money to support their families, so who would waste time coming here?"
Zhang Xudong stood up and said:
"That's easy, Brother Hai, take me around.
Let's think about how to renovate the clubhouse. This will be our company's temporary headquarters.
Brother Hai, are you usually the one leading these dozens of people?"
"Yes, Master Cousin, when the president is busy, he lets me take them on duty and train."
Zhang Xudong said as he walked:
"Brother Hai, since we have established a formal company, we must formalize our management in the future.
Other companies can be established slowly later, but the security company must be established immediately.
After the hall is renovated, the security company's staff must be increased to more than 100 people.
I'm going to give you a training plan, and you must train strictly according to the plan.
In the future, all will be subject to semi-militarized management.
From now on, my brothers will eat and live in the company and can only go home during the monthly holidays.
If you need to leave for special reasons, you must ask for leave and report it.
This is how everyone’s salary will be for now, but the company will provide for their food and accommodation.
Uniforms and casual clothes for all four seasons are also custom-made and distributed by the company.”
Zhang Xudong talked about his future arrangements one by one as he walked.
Hu Minghai hesitated for a moment and said:
"Master, you have benefited from arranging this for the brothers.
But you and the president will spend a lot more.
Will this make us a burden to you?"
Zhang Xudong shook his head and smiled and said:
“It costs a bit more, but it’s a necessary investment.
You will see the benefits of doing this later.
What you are going to do later is to find a few chefs with good cooking skills to come to the company.
We are also looking for chefs to renovate the guild hall and build the kitchen and canteen."
