Chapter 285: New Year Holiday
Soon it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Chen Jintao decided to give all the workers a holiday on this day, regardless of whether they were in the hotel or the factory. All of them could have a holiday from this day until the sixth day of the New Year, which was equivalent to everyone having a full 10-day holiday, and these 10 days of holiday were paid. As soon as the news spread, Chen Jintao received a lot of flattery.
What made everyone even happier was that Chen Jintao personally visited the hotel and the factory and distributed the New Year's red envelopes prepared for all employees.
In addition, Chen Jintao ordered a batch of grain and oil early in the morning in order to provide benefits to employees during the New Year.
These things plus the red envelopes given to employees will definitely cost a lot of money, but if you want to do big business, you must expand your horizons.
Only when employees are loyal to them can they produce better work, and with it better business. Shen Jintao has always seen this very clearly.
As expected, after the New Year benefits offered by garment factories and restaurants were publicized, everyone developed a favorable impression of these two industries.
Especially the families of those employees, they feel that their families have got a great deal, after all, they would not get such good treatment if they worked in a state-owned factory.
Although private enterprises are not iron rice bowls, as long as you do a good job, you will not be fired without reason. The employees' families are urging them to work hard and not make mistakes and get fired, otherwise where can they find such a good job?
The employees are even more clear about this, because only they themselves know how great it is to work under Shen Jintao.
All managers are not the kind of people who are difficult to talk to. As long as they work hard, they will get the corresponding respect.
Moreover, everyone has equal opportunities to compete. As long as you do your job well, you will have the opportunity to be promoted and get a raise. This is not like working in a state-owned unit where it is difficult to get a chance to be promoted. Even if there is a chance for promotion, it is only given to those who have connections. However, since the garment factory added a men's clothing area and a children's clothing area, many people have been promoted one after another.
Moreover, the benefits and wages that this promotion brings to everyone are also different, and the hotel has also been notified that someone will be selected to be the manager of the new store after the new year. Although those who are already married probably won't go to such a far place, there are still single young people in the store.
The hotel can provide accommodation for everyone, so no one would not want to get more salary.
Nowadays, if you tell others that you work in a garment factory or a restaurant, you will attract a lot of envy.
Even the homes of unmarried young girls have many more visitors, whose purpose is nothing more than to be introduced to a partner, which is also a benefit of having a job.
After the restaurant and the garment factory officially closed, the whole family felt much more relaxed and finally got to have some free time to play.
Shen Jidong and Huo Dongsheng were also very interested in catching seafood, so Shen Jintao basically accompanied them during this period of time.
Huo Beichuan also got a few days of vacation. Although it was not long, he was able to spend a good New Year at home before returning to the army.
I definitely don’t have time to go back to my hometown this year, but fortunately, most of my family members are here, Shen Jidong and Huo Dongsheng are back too, so it’s still a reunion year.
On New Year's Eve, Chen Jintao got up early to prepare the things needed for the New Year's Eve dinner, and Huo Beichuan also took the children to decorate the house.
Now it is completely different from previous years, and the atmosphere of the New Year is even more intense.
Couplets can be pasted directly, and there are also some exquisite window grilles and lanterns. After they are arranged, the two courtyards are full of joy. It is red at a glance, which makes people happy.
This is probably a common problem among Chinese people. Everyone likes the strong red color, which is a symbol of good luck and represents a prosperous new year.
The two families live so close to each other that they will definitely celebrate the New Year together, regardless of who goes to whose house, so the preparations were made directly at Shen Jintao's place.
As for the other brothers of the Xu family, they were not invited to celebrate the New Year together. They would also celebrate the New Year in their new house this year, but the children got together and had a lot of fun.
Dabao and Erbao have grown up a lot now. Although they are relatively young among the children in the Xu family, they are as smart as Dabao and Erbao, and they have the potential to become the leaders among the children.
Huo Beichuan was quite satisfied with this and said directly, "Their father was the leader of the children in the village when he was young, so they can be regarded as inheriting their father's business."
Chen Jintao scoffed at her man's statement. She really thought it was something particularly glorious. After all, Liu Guifen had talked a lot about Huo Beichuan's embarrassing childhood stories.
However, Dabao and Erbao are both very sensible children. They will not bully others casually. The family is very relieved about this.
It was also before the New Year’s Eve dinner that Shen Jintao realized that her younger brother and brother-in-law had really done a lot of things.
Seeing with their own eyes the big red envelopes they took out, not to mention the others, even Shen Jintao and Huo Beichuan were a little surprised.
The two of them prepared big red envelopes for their parents and their eldest and second child respectively. Just by feeling the thickness of the red envelopes, you could tell that there must be a lot of money in them.
Liu Guifen and Xu Xuemei wanted to ask the children what kind of business they were doing during the holidays from the beginning, but they thought that the children were grown up and had their own plans, so they held back and did not ask. Now they could not hold back any longer.
It was not until this time that the two told the truth to their families.
It turned out that during the summer vacation, the two of them took a train to Guangzhou, bought a batch of electronic watches directly from there, and then brought them back to Beijing to sell.
No one would dislike such a fashionable thing as a watch, especially if it is an electronic watch. It looks much smarter than any watch I have seen before.
Moreover, the price was much cheaper than the watches sold in department stores before. It became a trend for a while and many people rushed to buy it.
After making the first money, they did not stop there, but went to Guangzhou again. This time they brought back a lot of rare things, of course, the most important of which were electronic watches.
After school started, the meaning of this watch reached its peak. As a college student, the benefits of owning a watch are self-evident. Being able to see the time clearly can help avoid being late.
Since they were both good students with excellent academic performance and good conduct in their respective schools, the teachers turned a blind eye to their private small business, and the two of them earned their first pot of gold in their lives.
After they said a number, Huo Chenggong and Shen Jianmin's eyes turned red with envy. Young people's brains are really useful.
After the two of them had done the business, each of them actually earned more than a thousand yuan. You have to know that in that era, people with a monthly income of ten thousand yuan would be reported in the newspapers.
