They suddenly calmed down again. They remembered how they had been taking advantage of the organization by not doing any work and receiving wages. They blushed deeply. They had been taking advantage of the organization!
Ke Meiyu chuckled and waved her hand, "Everyone gets one. Consider this compensation. We'll be posting recruitment and training information at the factory gate later, so please inform each other."
Everyone nodded, moved.
Ke Meiyu kept her word and immediately distributed three months' salary to everyone on the roster.
The group began to inquire about finding odd jobs at the construction site.
The construction of hotels, office buildings, and other facilities is only a matter of time. Before the travel agency is opened, Ko Mei-yu still has a lot to do, such as recruiting workers, contacting businesses, and finding tourist attractions.
For the former employees of the chemical plant, they were also very busy. After the meeting that day, they received three months' basic salary. It wasn't much, and there were no subsidies or bonuses like before, but it wasn't a small amount either, since they hadn't been working.
The moment they received the money, they didn't resent the fact that they wouldn't receive any money for the next few months. Instead, they were grateful for the company's humane approach. It was okay if they didn't receive any money before the company was built; they could find odd jobs.
Moreover, not only them, but also family members who are not currently employed can join in!
After working for just one week, they received their wages, which were almost half of their basic salary. Having tasted success, everyone worked even harder.
Then, notices started being posted at the factory gate from time to time, such as "Wanted to recruit tour guides." The notices listed many conditions, with high requirements for appearance and education. Anyone who passed the assessment would undergo six months of closed training.
There is a stipend during the training period, including room and board. Upon completion of the training, a certificate of completion will be issued by the organization. Once the organization is established, I will lead the team, and the salary will be a base salary plus bonuses and commissions, which will be quite lucrative.
As long as it requires a certain level of education, it's considered a good job by everyone, so when they get home, they start mobilizing all their relatives and friends.
There aren't many college students, but there are plenty of high school students these days.
With many companies currently operating at full capacity, some college graduates are still unemployed. Therefore, they are not picky at all and readily apply for each round of low-level screenings.
Tour guides need training, and other staff members also need to receive basic professional training.
People have a high level of loyalty to their jobs, which stems from the fact that Xia Huaren enjoys a comfortable life and has no intention of changing jobs. As long as they work hard in their positions and their salaries keep increasing, they are even less likely to have other thoughts.
Waiters, cleaners, drivers, security guards, cooks, purchasing agents, electricians, and sales clerks were soon recruited one after another.
The long-time employees of the chemical plant filled out the forms based on their preferences and special skills.
This is somewhat similar to choosing a school and major in the college entrance examination, with first, second, and third options, as well as the option to accept being assigned to another major.
While everyone was filled with novelty, they also felt apprehensive and nervous. They had even higher expectations for their new workplace.
All training has been launched. After inspecting the training and finding that it was not far from her requirements, Ke Meiyu began to move on to the next step.
She sought out folk artists, such as those skilled in sugar blowing, paper cutting, New Year paintings, embroidery, pottery, tea ceremony, magic, acrobatics, and so on.
If Ke Meiyu wants to do something or persuade someone, she will use all her resources and be persistent.
She hired most of the best folk artists in Kyoto, and persuaded them to take on more apprentices by appealing to their emotions and reasoning.
Ko Mei-yu offered these artists two ways to collaborate: first, they joined Xia Hua Travel Agency, receiving a base salary plus bonuses; second, they contributed their skills as equity while Xia Hua Travel Agency contributed land and publicity as equity, sharing the profits.
In addition to these talented individuals, Ke Meiyu also searched all over the country for people who could make delicious and authentic local delicacies.
Of course, there are also some chefs with exceptional skills, which adds an extra layer of brilliance to their dishes, making them even more rare and precious.
By the time the manpower was almost fully recruited, the hotels, travel agency branches, and headquarters in various locations were nearly completed. All sorts of decorations and supporting facilities were stored in warehouses, ready to go.
Ke Meiyu first sought to discuss with relevant departments, highlighting the advantages of her travel agency, the benefits it could bring to the people, the number of jobs it could create, the attraction of domestic and foreign tourists, and the boost to economic development, etc.
After some discussion and negotiation, Xia Hua Travel Agency can enjoy discounts on various transportation and attraction tickets that are lower than those offered by other companies if it can achieve a certain sales volume each quarter!
Moreover, during off-peak tourist seasons, there are promotional activities for attraction tickets, including package tickets, monthly tickets, quarterly tickets, and annual tickets.
After Ke Meiyu and her team worked tirelessly for more than half a year, news of the opening of Xia Hua Travel Agency suddenly exploded across various media channels in December 1982. Announcements of grand opening discounts and special offers were made, promising that guests could enjoy all-inclusive meals and accommodations for the price of admission tickets and transportation…
They mention things like how many early arrivals will receive a small gift, and what kind of complimentary services will be provided for groups of a certain size.
Yingyan Company had just completed a major project and made a lot of money when Ke Meiyu used it to replace all the streetlights in Kyoto with beautiful and festive Chinese knots. Each Chinese knot was inscribed with auspicious blessings, such as the hope for peace and prosperity for the country and the motherland, as well as some encouraging words.
Of course, the Chinese knot tassels are all adorned with the name, phone number, and address of Xia Hua Travel Agency...
Xia Hua Travel Agency offers a wide range of services, including not only the usual travel agency programs but also different routes and sightseeing programs for tourists from home and abroad, as well as tourists from the city and surrounding areas who are familiar with Kyoto.
