"In addition to that, there's an extra perk: afternoon tea twice a week. The boss recently opened a beverage shop called Xu's Lemon Tea, and now we can get two free cups of lemon tea every week. This perk can also be given to friends or family."
“.”
At this point in the video, the man pressed the pause button, looked at General Manager Wei with confusion, and asked helplessly, "What does this video you showed me have to do with the three community residents changing their minds?"
"You can continue."
Wei Zong's right hand reached over the man and landed on the phone screen. The progress bar was quickly dragged, and Huang Ying and Zhong Qiu disappeared from the frame, replaced by Xu An's young face.
In addition to the Haishi Disabled Persons' Federation, we have also established cooperation with the Disabled Persons' Federations in surrounding cities, such as Dongqing City, Jiangyuan City, and Zhuzhou City. We have recruited six members from each city's Disabled Persons' Federation. To date, Xu's Catering has provided stable jobs for thirty-two people with disabilities.
According to statistics from the Shanghai Disabled Persons' Federation, as of October 2012, there were 70,000 certified disabled persons in Shanghai. Among them, 23,000 were able to work and live normally, but only 4,000 had stable jobs.
Xu's Catering promises that as the company grows, it will recruit more people with disabilities in the future. Every purchase you make at Xu's Catering will contribute to its growth.
The video paused again at this point. The man looked at Xu An's face and felt a toothache. This kid wasn't playing by the rules! He was actually playing the emotional card!
Mr. Wei had no idea what the man was thinking. After seeing the man pause the video, he said angrily:
"After the interview aired, residents of the three pilot communities were discussing it, feeling that Xu's Catering was a conscientious company. It not only helped people from impoverished areas outside the region sell their unsold agricultural products, but also provided stable employment for people with disabilities. It's a good company."
After venting his dissatisfaction and helplessness in a rapid-fire manner, General Manager Wei lowered his voice and asked, "Should I find some people to do something behind the scenes?"
"No!" the man interrupted President Wei loudly. He wanted to tell him to mind his own business, but when he met President Wei's questioning gaze, he couldn't help but sigh and vaguely explained, "The city leaders have spoken; we can't have cutthroat competition!"
The city leaders have spoken!
Upon hearing this, President Wei was startled. The little thought that had just arisen in his mind vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of indignation. He said:
"So, are we just going to watch Xu's Catering win the 'Two Yuan Lunch' order? With so many communities in Shanghai combined, that's twenty to thirty thousand boxed meals a day! How many companies and enterprises would we need to partner with to get that many orders!"
"Xu's Catering is too small to handle so many orders; they'll eventually have to give them up. Now our opponent isn't Xu's Catering, but Jinxiu Hotel. As long as we can outmaneuver them, we've won. Besides, we still have 30% support, and a third of the orders isn't a small amount."
After saying this, seeing that President Wei still looked displeased, the man sighed again, patted President Wei on the shoulder, and said, "This vote is only held once a year. This year was really rushed. Next year, when we've established ourselves more firmly, we'll plan more carefully."
Conference room at Haishi Hotel.
"Our design focuses on a floating hotel and restaurant with an exceptional 270-degree panoramic view."
"A detached villa over the sea, each with its own private hot spring bath."
"We use the above techniques to channel the heat generated by the hot spring to the mudflats."
“.”
Ah-ha--
On the surface, Xu An was looking down at the design plans on the table, but in reality, he was just using the act of looking down to cover up his uncontrollable yawn.
Since the public tender for the [Seaside Hot Spring] project, Xu's Catering has received a total of 37 bids. After a rigorous selection process, six design companies stood out and came to the bidding meeting with their design proposals.
However, Xu An never expected that those seemingly good design sketches would become so bizarre after they were actually transformed into design schemes and 3D models.
For example, in the first case, the word "hot spring" was so prominent in the tender document, but the studio actually ignored the word "hot spring" and focused on the sea view, giving Xu An a modern version of buying the box and returning the pearl.
Secondly, the seaside villas and private hot spring baths sounded really high-end and were quite well designed. Xu An even looked at them with some longing. The only regret was that, according to the budget of eight million that Xu An gave, he could only build a maximum of three of the luxury villas in the plan.
Thirdly, a perfectly good seaside hot spring has been turned into a common seaside hot spring, or even a land-based hot spring, through this series of operations, which is even more outrageous than buying and redeeming the pearl.
The person currently presenting the design concept on stage is the head of the fourth design agency. The proposal is conventional, with no major flaws but also no standout features.
After listening to four design proposals in a row, Xu An's expectations had been almost completely worn down. He even began to doubt whether he was going in the wrong direction, whether he should not have bothered with bidding, and whether he should have honestly found a design company to cooperate with and obtained the desired design effect by constantly revising the design proposals.
After the fourth design presentation concluded, Xu An flashed his standard smile and raised his hands to begin mechanically clapping.
Amid applause, the fourth speaker stepped down from the stage, and the fifth speaker stood up from his seat, walked to the front of the conference table, inserted a USB drive into his laptop, opened a PowerPoint presentation, picked up the microphone, scanned the audience, and finally focused his gaze on Xu An. After taking a deep breath, he began his speech.
