Chapter 226: The State-Owned Hotel is in a Panic (Seeking Gold Votes)
"Director, what should we do now? If this continues, our state-owned restaurant will really lose money."
The waiters in the state-owned restaurant are also very anxious, because many people in other units have been forced to lay off one after another. If business continues like this, their state-owned restaurant will definitely lay off employees. It is hard to say who will be laid off, everyone could be affected.
Xie Guangyuan, the director of the state-owned restaurant, was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling. "You ask me, how do I know what to do? Don't you know how to think of a solution together? Whenever something goes wrong, you ask me. Do you think I am omnipotent? Can I solve all your problems, right?"
In fact, Xie Guangyuan didn't want to get angry, but he was so depressed during this period that he couldn't hold it back for a while.
"But Director, what can we do? We are all following the rules and regulations. I don't know how that restaurant can attract so many customers. I have checked it out. Their food prices are much higher than ours. Although they don't require tickets, our state-owned restaurant is more affordable. I can't figure out how they win."
The waiter felt very aggrieved. He took the initiative to ask the director to find a solution for the sake of the state-owned restaurant. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by the director.
Xie Guangyuan sighed, "Don't say you can't figure it out. I can't figure it out either. The price is so high, why would so many people go there to eat? Do these people have too much money to spend?"
The other waiter opened his mouth, but ultimately did not say what was in his mind.
But his action was still seen by Xie Guangyuan, who became a little impatient, "Just say what you want to say, don't hesitate there."
"That director...my family also went to Yanhuo Restaurant to eat before. After I went back, they kept telling me that the food there tasted especially good. I was wondering if it was because of our food..."
The waiter knew that this would definitely offend the chef, but he still said it. He didn't want to offend the director more than the chef.
Although he could skip this topic directly, he didn't want to be unemployed.
As expected, the chubby chef immediately got angry after hearing this, "What do you mean by that? You mean I can't do it. If you think I can't do it, why don't you do it?"
"No, Chef Du, I never said you couldn't do it. I just think the dishes at Fireworks Restaurant are more novel. Shouldn't we also be innovative and come up with something unusual?"
"Do you think it's easy to research a dish?" Chef Du was very unhappy.
"Oh, this is not my specialty. I'm just giving you a suggestion. Please don't be angry with me." The waiter was also a perceptive person and apologized quickly.
Although I don't think so in my heart, the person you should never offend in a state-owned restaurant is the director, and the second person you should never offend is the chef.
After all, being a cook is a technical job, and if they put some shade on you in front of the boss, you're doomed.
"Humph! You guys don't even think of a way to promote yourselves but you push the problem onto me. Let me tell you, I've seen other people promote their restaurants everywhere before they open. Shouldn't we do some promotion here as well?"
Chef Du threw the question back to the waiter.
Anyway, the blame for the poor business of state-owned restaurants must not be placed on oneself, no matter if it is a waiter, a chef, or even a manager. Once you take the blame, your career will probably be over.
"Okay, stop arguing. We need to think of a solution. What you said makes sense. No matter what, there must be a reason why they can make a good business. Whether it's publicity or dishes, we have to put in some effort."
Although he said so, Xie Guangyuan also knew that it was not easy to do these two things well.
At this moment, he wished that the restaurant across the street would go bankrupt as soon as possible, and it would be best if it made losses every day. As long as that restaurant went bankrupt, someone would definitely be able to set up their state-owned restaurant again.
Once he had this idea, Xie Guangyuan couldn't sit still.
After waving his hand to let everyone around him disperse, he sat in a daze. Since there was no business now, he had time to think about a strategy.
When the others saw that he was standing there with a frown on his face, they all hurried back to do their own things. Even if they had nothing to do, they would still find something to do to avoid getting into trouble and being scolded for no reason.
After a while, Xie Guangyuan patted the table, with a smile on his face, "You guys go to work, I have something to go out for."
"Yes, Director."
"Have a nice day, Director."
A group of people said hurriedly.
Xie Guangyuan went straight back home to his wife.
"Find a few people to go to the fireworks restaurant not far from our state-owned hotel and find some trouble."
Xie Guangyuan's wife was confused, "What do you mean? Why do you do this?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just do what you are told to do."
"They haven't offended us. Do we need to treat them like this?" Xie Guangyuan's wife was a little confused.
"You know nothing. You women are just short of knowledge. Do you think it's okay if they don't come to provoke us? Do you want to see your man lose his job? Do you know that many state-owned enterprises have begun to lay off employees, and some state-owned enterprises have directly closed down. Do you know the consequences of unemployment? Now our family is supported by my salary alone. Once I lose my salary, you mothers will starve to death."
Xie Guangyuan's wife felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. After all, although she didn't go to work, wasn't it hard for her to stay at home and take care of the children and the elderly?
Every time her husband says something like this, he simply wants to say that she doesn't make any money and is supported by him, but if it weren't for taking care of the children and the elderly, she could also go out to work.
You should know that she had a formal job before she got married, but she sold that job because it was inconvenient to go to work after she got married and became pregnant.
Although she sold the job for a good price at the time, she had less and less say in the family since she lost her stable income.
Your parents-in-law can give her whatever they want, but you have to use all kinds of words to stimulate your own man from time to time.
Xie Guangyuan's wife felt more and more depressed the more she thought about it, but she had to admit that once her husband lost his stable job, life in their family would become extremely difficult.
