"Why?" Lin Xue also sensed the difference and asked, puzzled.
"If it's a matter of salary, then I really can't afford to give you such a high salary, sister-in-law."
If a person earns 300 a month, how much less money does she have?
"It's not just about money; salary is only one aspect. There are other reasons as well."
"Just like you said, my shop's employees are all given time off. They have one and a half days off every week. They just need to let me know in advance. Does your shop have that?"
"Not only that, my employees also receive year-end bonuses in addition to their salaries and bonuses, and I also give them red envelopes during holidays. Do you get one?"
"I also encourage everyone to speak up. If you have any good suggestions or ideas, as long as they are beneficial to the store and can be implemented, I will let them try them. Would you?"
"Furthermore, I will ask for their opinions. If there are any things I do poorly, or things I do poorly in the store, I will correct them. Do you do that?"
Song Lili's series of questions really stumped Lin Xue, because she didn't have any of them!
She wished everyone would keep working and couldn't stand seeing them rest. Anyone who rested would be criticized.
There were no red envelopes or rewards!
Asking for opinions? Absolutely not. Employees can't have opinions about her.
Therefore, Lin Xue had no words to say and could only remain silent.
"Lin Xue, if you put yourself in the shoes of an ordinary person, and had a boss like you in your shop, do you think you'd be happy?"
"Your working hours are already longer than other industries, and you don't allow your employees to rest when they're not busy, nor do you give them a raise. Do you think you'd be willing to do that?"
"That's why they don't last long. Haven't you ever considered that it might be your own fault?"
"The outcome of an event is never determined by a single factor."
"I don't deny that there are employees like you just described, but not everyone is like that!"
"Their frequent resignations are largely due to you, because they simply cannot handle such a workload."
"Others are paid the same wages, but their jobs are easier than yours. Why would they choose your shop?"
If Lin Xue weren't one of their own, Song Lili wouldn't have bothered saying all this.
Such people are like digging their own graves, ultimately leading themselves to their own doom.
How can you run a shop if you don't have employees?
Furthermore, employees will share information with each other; if you have a bad reputation, no one will want to work for you in the future.
What kind of shop would you still be running back then?
Now, both of them fell silent. Song Lili gave Lin Xue time to process what had happened.
“Lin Xue, sometimes you should be willing to spend money. There’s never enough money, and you can never earn enough. Be generous to your employees, and they will work hard.”
There's no future in Lin Xue's shop; only housewives would choose to go there.
The two stores have significantly different employee compositions.
Song Lili is young, energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate about her work, and is willing to work hard for it.
What about Lin Xue's shop? Most people are just getting by, as long as they get paid and can supplement their household income, they don't care about the future.
Another important point is that Song Lili's employees are all educated, although their levels vary, but each of them has received an education.
Having read books and having a flexible mind will lead to different ideas, some of which are really good.
Song Lili was also willing to give them a chance to showcase their abilities.
By comparison, anyone can see which store has a better future.
Perhaps this is what attracts college students to come here.
"Sister-in-law, I..." Lin Xue listened attentively; she took Song Lili's words to heart.
Back then, Song Lili guided her in doing business. She knew Song Lili was skilled in this area and kept Song Lili's words in mind.
Imagine what Song Lili just said: if she had a boss like herself, she would find that she wouldn't want to work in such a place either.
Not only is the work exhausting and the pay low, but the boss is also unpleasant. Who would want to do that?
Seeing that Lin Xue had realized what was going on, Song Lili sighed and said, "If you're content with just this one store, then your current management isn't a big problem, except that you'll have to frequently change employees."
"But if you want to expand further, this definitely won't work. What do you think?"
If Lin Xue's goal is simply to keep this one shop, then giving it away a little wouldn't be a big problem.
But if it continues to develop...
"Sister-in-law, I came here today to ask you for your opinion on whether it's appropriate for me to open a branch store now."
So, does this mean they want to continue developing?
"If your store is in this state now, then it's definitely not suitable. You can't even manage this one store well, and everything will fall apart without you. How will you find the time to manage another store in the future?"
"Then... then what should I do?" Lin Xue wanted to make changes and wait until it was suitable before opening a branch.
"Okay, I'll tell you, but you probably won't remember much anyway. Why don't you come to my shop and take a look?"
"Why don't you come and stay at my shop for a few days and see how it works? I think you'll know what to do then."
"I'll have Da Da keep an eye on your shop for you. I'll also go check on it when I have some free time."
To be honest, it wasn't as memorable as what I saw.
"Okay, I'll go take a look." Lin Xue said, somewhat dejected.
"Although my shop isn't the best, there are still things you can learn from it. Watch carefully; management isn't an easy task."
Otherwise, why would anyone bother to study it systematically?
"Okay," Lin Xue said as she left, looking quite dejected. Song Lili ignored her; she should reflect on her actions.
That evening, Song Lili told Zhang Shengtian about it, so that he would be prepared and agree when Lin Xue told him.
"I understand, then I'll go and visit for a few days." Zhang Shengtian nodded after hearing this, without saying anything more.
Lin Xue, his daughter-in-law, has changed somewhat since she started her business. She's still quite nice to him, though.
He would also take care of the children when Lin Xue was busy, and he wasn't uncomfortable helping out.
Sure enough, Lin Xue approached Zhang Shengtian the next day, and Zhang Shengtian readily agreed.
Lin Xue went to the hot pot restaurant, and Song Lili went to watch over Lin Xue's snack shop.
I really don't feel at ease if there's no one watching over Lin Xue in this shop right now.
The main problem is that employees have grievances against their bosses. Sometimes, even if there are problems, employees won't tell their bosses.
Therefore, I still need to keep an eye on it; I can't rest easy until the reforms are done well.
When Song Lili arrived, she was immediately overwhelmed. How did Lin Xue usually behave? Why was she such a mess?
The employees' uniforms are not uniform, and they don't wear masks or hats when entering the operating room. Aren't they afraid that their hair will fall in?
