Return To 1977 Chapter 939: Paradise

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Hong Yanwu came up with the idea of ​​setting up a "music cafe" on the second floor.

It took twenty days to open the business until the renovation, recruitment, training, and search for the person in charge began.

There's no way around it. There are too many things to do and too many distractions to deal with. This is already considered fast.

I won’t say much about the two candidates for the person in charge.

Hong Yanwu made the decision after many considerations and investigations.

Even recruiting workers is a troublesome thing because it involves more human relationships.

To be honest, in mid-May, as soon as the service company showed this intention, it caused a commotion among the company and the factory.

If nothing else, the service company earns more and is already famous.

People in the factory either want to be transferred in themselves, or they ask their relatives to come.

And the service company’s own people also don’t want their wealth to flow into the fields of outsiders.

I have relatives at home who are unemployed young people or fresh graduates who feel there is no hope of getting into college.

They also contacted Shui Qing and Hong Yanwu privately, hoping to take care of them.

The most troublesome thing is that the heads of all departments in the factory have this idea.

Even the deputy secretary licked his face and greeted Shui Qing, hoping to take care of his nephew.

Think about it, if this matter is not handled well, it will be easy to attract hatred.

Not to mention it will affect the unity within the company and make employees feel depressed.

If it doesn’t work well, it will damage relationships in all directions.

After that, dealing with the factory will not be so smooth.

So the commotion caused by this incident made Shui Qing feel a little scared and had a headache.

Fortunately, Hong Yanwu was not even able to handle this matter smoothly.

When "the takeout window is clear," he has basically figured out what to do.

The first is to consider the cost-effectiveness for employees and make a drastic decision first.

There is a bottom line for recruitment that must be guarded, that is, only young men under the age of twenty-four are required.

Neither female nor older, this will eliminate 60% of the favor.

Second, there is no need to consider the human feelings of ordinary people in the factory, they are best dismissed.

Since there are no side effects, just refuse it directly. This will get rid of 15% of the human burden.

It is indeed a bit powerful to do this, but what can we do?

The general trend of society is such that we cannot deliberately go against the grain and let the store bear unnecessary burdens.

Third, on the contrary, the favors of the heads of various departments in the factory must be sold, but they must also try their best to excuse them.

Hong Yanwu's specific method is to "expose his own shortcomings" while fully agreeing, so that the other party can retreat on his own.

For example, which boss has personnel needs in this area.

Well, first print a copy of the company's reward and punishment system to them, and ask them to take it back and show it to anyone who wants to come.

If your relatives still want to come after seeing it.

Then take them to the store to experience the real busy and strictly managed work situation.

In the end, I had to make it clear in person that I would start working the evening shift in March and have a rest in case of rainy days.

The money will never be short, but the work is also tiring.

At this point, if the other party can still maintain the courage, then accept it without saying a word.

Because if you don’t do it well, you may not be able to do it well.

The worst case scenario is that we can continue to support ourselves in the old way.

Fourth, you must be considerate towards your employees and do not hurt your own feelings.

But there is one thing. Service companies will never directly hire relatives of existing employees.

This is to facilitate internal management in the future and reduce the human factor in blood relationships.

So after everyone explained clearly, Hong Yanwu took disguised measures and arranged for the relatives of these employees to work in the factory.

Of course, it will definitely be better than the situation that these young workers were in when they entered the factory, which reassures everyone.

Like Zhu Zhenfan and Zhang Shuping's biological brothers, Li Xiaodong's cousin, and his "butt-faced" cousin.

About ten people, all arranged in this way.

No one didn’t understand, but they were very moved.

Because everyone knows the company's difficulties, and also knows that the company has gained favors for everyone. On their own, there is no chance of such an outcome.

If nothing else, it would be nice to become a worker in our factory.

How difficult it was for them when they first entered the factory.

So, there were only six or seven people who joined Bao Dui'er and finally got into the company through various favors.

As for the remaining twenty-odd people, they are all good young men who fully meet the company's needs and have good conditions.

Speaking of this, fortunately, the factory has set up an instant noodle workshop.

Because Director Yang has already recruited a group of people from outside, even though it is said that the assessment is strict and there will be no back door.

But in fact it is still impossible to completely eliminate it.

In this way, there are some people who have good conditions in all aspects but cannot enter the instant noodle factory.

On the contrary, Hong Yanwu took advantage of it and was hired into a service company.

If the whole thing was calculated, he would still have made a profit.

Of course, compared with personnel matters, it is more difficult to make progress in the renovation project.

Let me make it clear first, this is not because the Infrastructure Department is not cooperative or dedicated.

In order to cooperate with Hong Yanwu, the chief of the infrastructure department not only stopped all the work inside the restaurant, but also added more manpower.

What about the people working down there, because they often get a lot of credit from the store.

I smoked cigarettes for free, drank tea for free, and even had two meals from Hong Yanwu, but I still worked hard without any effort.

The key is that not only are construction materials very limited these days, but people working in this industry also have limitations in their knowledge and knowledge.

To put it bluntly, the Infrastructure Department has built many houses, but they are almost all of the same standard.

It's amazing, the bricks on the floor are better, the walls just have to be puttyed a few times.

I have never seen a master with so many wonderful ideas as Hong Yanwu.

So it was Hong Yanwu’s request to lay outdoor wooden floors on the second floor area and stairs, and to build a simple wooden pavilion and bar counter.

Whether it is materials or craftsmanship, they feel very embarrassed.

Later, Hong Yanwu found a way to get the wood from his elder brother's factory.

We also invited Mr. Shan’s daughter, Shan Xiangyun, who works in the Forbidden City construction team, to be the technical director.

The Infrastructure Department now knows how to get started with this job.

Hong Yanwu also had to make adjustments based on the actual situation again. He saw that the decoration was so troublesome.

The "affordable area" that was simply planned to be retained has been cancelled. Let's just equip the whole game and don't have to worry about it twice in the future.

But the most annoying thing is the outdoor light box advertising.

The light box advertisements in Beijing appeared around 1980.

This novel form of advertising was not widely used initially and was mainly concentrated in business places such as commercial streets and hotels.

Needless to say, having such a self-illuminating advertising sign at night would be extremely popular on the streets of Beijing, where the overall environment was still dark at that time.

Since Hong Yanwu wants to open an entertainment venue open at night, it is also necessary to create a facade with the style of a ten-mile foreign market to attract people.

But because outdoor advertising was a monopolistic business industry at that time, the project quotation was too high.

The service company requested to produce two two-square-meter single-sided light box advertisements and two sixty-centimeter-diameter protruding double-sided round light boxes. The Municipal Gongmei Service Advertising Company actually quoted more than 6,800 yuan. sky-high price.

Oh my god, this is enough for the entire service company’s basic salary for four months. It’s worth several large tile-roofed houses and half a car.

The problem is that to be honest, this seemingly "high-end" thing is actually no big deal.

It is nothing more than a waterproof, insulated, and heat-dissipating light box frame, plus a fluorescent tube and light box film.

Even a master like Hong Yanwu who never batted an eyelid at "killing people with a knife" was also shocked by the price.

Yes, there were no inkjet printers at that time, so relying on printing technology to produce patterned light box films was probably really high-tech.

But Hong Yanwu treated the other party's manager to a meal through Xiao Heping, who had worked at "Gongmei".

At that time, I said that no pattern was needed, and I just asked for a few artistic calligraphy on a white background.

But the other party still only took a small step back, only agreed to pay more than 800 yuan, and insisted on 6,000 yuan.

The reason given is that it is difficult to maintain light box advertisements, and most of the money is maintenance fees.

And he said very disdainfully that he had never heard of anyone offering a discount on making light boxes.

Big shopping malls are still busy. They have to wait in the queue for such a small job, at least for a month.

This is a bit arrogant and the store is bullying customers.

Yes, Hong Yanwu was so angry that he stopped doing it.

When I get back, I will think about ways to become self-reliant.

Not to mention, even after the death of Butcher Zhang, he still refused to eat pigs with hair on them, yet he was stunned to find out.

As for the light box frame, it’s hard to find an alloy one, but it can be made of wood.

Anyway, just use three months, as long as this period of time is not bad.

Is it difficult to maintain light boxes? Then I won’t maintain it, just throw it away after use, and make a new one next year, okay?

Also, the light box film commonly known as "milk white film" is the most critical thing, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it.

We have glass, just apply a layer of paint, and the light transmittance is not bad at all.

As for the advertising patterns and artistic calligraphy above, it’s not difficult for us. We have Xiao Heping.

Does a company as big as "Polar Bear" still lack art talents?

Hey guys, with this, the problem of this light box is completely solved.

Hong Yanwu relied on these few tricks to make him look more beautiful.

The two main light boxes with a height of two square meters on the two stairwells were painted with white paint as the base by Xiao Heping.

A blue block in the shape of a drink box is highlighted and written with Chinese and English variant art characters - "Ice Age" and "IceAge", which can be regarded as the name of the music cafe.

Another blue block in the style of a polar bear logo is highlighted with the words "music, drinks, snacks, and fast food" written in it, which is a reminder of the business content.

Not only does it look eye-catching and western-style, but it also has a coolness to it.

The patterns on the two circular light boxes protruding from under the eaves are even more stunning. One is wine and coffee, and the other side is soda and ice cream.

The other one is lunch meat and sausages, the other one is snacks and fruits.

The painter couldn't be more professional, and he's even more annoying than the real thing.

At this point, add additional lights throughout the venue.

There is no need to go near at night. If you look at it from a distance, you will feel that this is a paradise filled with all the beautiful things.

Especially for nearby residents, they not only spent more than 20 days witnessing various changes in the exterior of the store.

During this period, we also experienced table tennis matches, open-air movies and other activities to benefit the people.

In their hearts, they will even feel this way.
