Chapter 458: Different Treatments for Different Situations
Shen Qing answered all the questions one by one: "Yes, it is eight cents. I will give you six cents and you can keep two cents, or you can keep all of it.
The next eight cents are last month's dividends. If business was good last month, I got this amount. If business is even better this month, it will go up. If business is not as good as last month, it will go down."
"Wages are fixed, but dividends are not. Winter is the peak season for hot pot, so the wages are higher during these months. When the weather gets warmer in spring, even if business is slow, you should be prepared for no dividends."
Everyone was so excited that their bodies were shaking slightly.
I heard clearly what Shen Qing said about there being no dividends after the weather warmed up, but I didn't care much.
Last month I made eight cents, and even if I only had that for the whole year, I'd be satisfied. Besides, the boss said that if business was good before the New Year, there would be dividends.
The guys promised, "Boss, don't worry, I will work hard and not let the customers find any faults!"
The boss said that just working hard is not enough, and you also need to be attentive to retain customers.
Service is crucial.
The woman helping in the kitchen followed up, "Boss, me too! Keep the food clean!"
The boss said that cleanliness and hygiene of the dishes are the most important and we must not be careless!
They may not be able to do other things, but they can wash, pick and cut vegetables and do it very well.
The girls in the pastry shop hurriedly said, "Boss, we must make more cream egg cakes while ensuring the quality."
The boss said that deliciousness is the key. It is useless to make more or faster. If the food is ruined and doesn’t taste good, you will lose money instead of making money if you buy it back. It is very likely that you will lose this customer, and the customers around her will also be easily affected.
Taste is especially important!
Shen Qing reminded them again that they could only talk about wages to others, not dividends.
Six hundred coins was not considered a high wage in the capital, and was even a bit low. The third-class maids in the wealthy families all earned this much. But if the dividends were included, it was a completely different story. Even the first-class maids and personal servants only earned about one or two taels of silver per month, not to mention the helpers in other shops.
Everyone nodded heavily!
This time, the boss didn't need to say it explicitly, they all knew the interests involved.
The dividends must not be disclosed to anyone, how much is this dividend that makes people jealous? If they want to squeeze out their positions, they will probably trip them up and set traps, which will only bring trouble to themselves.
If this job is gone, the boss can immediately find someone to fill it. Where can they find such a good job?
Not to mention such a good thing, it’s hard to even find a job to make a living!
After Shen Qing finished giving the instructions, he asked the fourth brother to divide the work.
Jiang Xiangbei opened the backpack he was carrying and took out a bunch of copper coins he had prepared long ago. He said loudly, "Everyone is treated the same. Line up in an orderly manner to receive them."
They all have their own cabinets with locks, locks on their doors, and locks on the backyard doors. Plus, there are people coming and going in the yard all the time, so there's no need to worry too much about thieves coming in.
Except for a few elderly women who deposited all the silver and money with Jiang Xiangbei, the others happily took them back and kept rubbing them.
Shen Qing could understand the joy of counting money. After all, she would count her belongings from time to time at night and fall asleep counting the silver.
After quickly distributing the food, the two of them went to the spicy hot pot shop without any delay.
The waiter from the spicy hotpot shop arrived later and was obviously frightened when he saw Shen Qing and Jiang Xiangbei, especially Shen Qing.
They knew that this was the biggest boss, and the four bosses they often saw on weekdays had to listen to her and obey her absolutely. She was the one who could decide whether they went or stayed with just one word. They came to inspect suddenly today, fearing that they would be dissatisfied if they were not careful.
Everyone was waiting for instructions in fear.
Shen Qing changed his words and said, "It's only been twenty days since the shop opened. Originally, we agreed to distribute dividends once a month, but since Weilu Xiaozhu was exactly one month old yesterday, I've moved yours up to yesterday as well, so that both companies can distribute on the same day going forward."
There is no need for one to send it first and the other to send it later. The person who sends it later will be anxiously waiting and will have no focus on working.
When they heard that it was about paying wages and dividends, everyone looked up in shock.
The boss finally came over, but instead of giving them orders or checking around, he gave them money?
Shen Qing then told the amount and dividends.
Because it was only twenty days, the wages were only four hundred coins per day, and the dividend was six coins.
When they heard about the six-cent dividend, everyone's expression was exactly the same as the people in Weilu Xiaozhu!
They only worked for twenty days, and they got a dividend of six cents. No, it has nothing to do with how many days they worked, but it has to do with the amount set by the boss!
If you work somewhere else, you may not even get six cents in wages even if you work for two or three months!
Many people in the team were crying, and some were choking and unable to speak.
Jiang Xiangbei panicked and hurriedly tried to comfort her, "It's a happy occasion, why are you crying? You can buy whatever you want to eat or buy after you get the money."
Shen Qing understood why they were crying.
The guys in Weilu Xiaozhu were all slaves of the Sumu family. With the Su family supporting them, their lives were hard, but few of them died of hunger.
They earn money and go home to improve their lives. If they earn more, it is icing on the cake. If they earn less, they may go hungry or cold, but it will not kill them.
The people in the spicy hot pot shop are different. They are all citizens of Blackwater City. They are poor and miserable. If they don’t work hard, they will starve to death or freeze to death!
The money they earn is used to save their lives. The more money they earn, the greater the chances of their families and even relatives surviving.
Now that I hear that I can earn one or two taels of silver a month, how can I not be excited to the point of crying?
Sure enough, the next moment, one of the workers choked up and said to Jiang Xiangbei, "Master Si, we have only worked for twenty days, and you gave us one or two taels of silver!
This tael of silver could buy 260 kilograms of grain, which, together with the food at home, was enough to feed the whole family for the entire winter.
If I can still earn this much next month, I can buy some new cotton clothes for my family.
You can continue to buy food next month and no longer have to worry about being hungry during the lean season.
Next month, maybe I can help the relatives who visit me so they can survive...”
The others nodded and pulled up their sleeves to wipe away their tears.
The boss gave so much money as he said. For them and their whole family, it was like a new life!
Shen Qing suddenly said, "You don't have to deduct two cents from your salary, and you can even get an advance on your wages before the New Year. We have a team going to Blackwater City at the end of the month and can help you deliver the money. Ling Yi will arrange for people to distribute it to your family members.
If you are willing, you can come and register."
She suddenly felt that different things should be treated differently and not generalized.
Jiang Xiangbei turned to look at his mother in surprise, then quickly reacted and said, "Yes! As long as you can trust me!"
