Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

After three glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the private room became lively.

After pouring the wine, Gao Dapeng did not leave. He pulled a stool and sat opposite Wang Changlin.

The three of them drank one cup after another.

During this period, Wang Changlin and Gao Dapeng talked a lot about their time guarding the border on the prairie. Li Youcai could see that the comradeship between the two was indeed very deep.

"Brother Youcai, let me tell you, back then, I was also a famous sharpshooter. Every year during target shooting, I was always one of the best in the entire company. If you don't believe me, ask my old squad leader."

Gao Dapeng's face was red from his neck to his face, and he looked like Guan Gong without a beard.

My tongue became stiff when I spoke.

"Thinking about it, I really miss the time when I was guarding the border. Although it was hard, it was really happy."

"Look at now." Gao Dapeng sighed and shook his head.

"What happened now? Are you treated unfairly? Such a big hotel lets you be the manager. You are close to the water and the moon is the first to be seen. Many people envy you but they can't even envy you enough." Wang Changlin's mouth was also full of alcohol.

"Why should I be envious? I'm almost at the end of my job. I don't even know if I'll still be able to be a manager next year."

Gao Dapeng put down his wine glass and looked depressed.

"What do you mean?" Wang Changlin asked.

"You can see it, no one's eating here. For a restaurant this big, only three or four tables are open all day long. The turnover isn't even enough to cover the cost of preparing the food."

"Forget paying the company. Every month I have to shamelessly go to the company and ask for money just to pay the employees."

"They were always in a bad mood and were criticized at every meeting."

"This job is so frustrating!"

Gao Dapeng became angrier as he spoke. He filled his cup with wine and took a big gulp.

Wang Changlin heard this and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but such a big restaurant has no customers, can't you find out the reason?"

"I looked for them. How could I not look for them?" Gao Dapeng sighed. "Those guys out there, do you think I want them? I can't help it. They're all educated youth who returned to the city. The company forced them in."

"They don't do any work all day, just get together and have sex. These are all bad habits picked up in the countryside."

"You can't say it yet. If you do, the noise will be louder than yours."

"I can't shoo them away, and they won't listen no matter what I say. Even if I ask them to sweep the floor, it depends on their mood. I can't even get someone else to do it."

"What can I do?"

Gao Dapeng is telling the truth.

Essentially, the purpose of sending educated youth from the city to the countryside was to alleviate the employment pressure caused by the first population peak.

But in reality, the number of jobs in the city has not increased as a result, and in some areas it has even decreased a lot.

As the population continued to grow, new employment conflicts arose between the returning educated youth and the new population.

The issue of employment placement has once again become a difficult point.

The same is true in Teng County. A large number of educated youth who returned to the city are unemployed. Based on the idea of ​​finding a job for as many people as possible, all units are overstaffed.

Two people do one person's work.

It is common to see eight people squeezed into a guard room that can only accommodate three people.

As a subsidiary of the catering company, Beiwei Restaurant was also crammed with a large number of educated youth.

This is why there are more waiters than diners in a restaurant.

After hearing Gao Dapeng's complaints, Wang Changlin felt the same way.

The same goes for the aquatic products company, where the number of staff has doubled.

Fortunately, the performance of the fishery company has always been good, and the conflicts are not that intense.

Wang Changlin was also worried about Gao Dapeng, but he had no good solution in mind.

"Why don't you find another leader? No customers will come to eat if the service is so chaotic and poor."

"I've searched eight hundred times, to no avail. It's not just my restaurant, there are three or four others with similar problems."

Li Youcai sat beside and listened for a long time, and gradually an idea came to his mind.

"Actually, there is a way to solve this problem." Li Youcai suddenly said.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Changlin and Gao Dapeng looked at Li Youcai almost at the same time.

"Brother, if you really have a way, you will be my brother from now on!"

Gao Dapeng looked at Li Youcai with anticipation, just like a person who fell into the water and was about to drown, and wanted to grab the straw to try, regardless of whether it could save his life or not.

"Comrade Li, do you have a solution?" Wang Changlin was also surprised.

Li Youcai's face remained calm as he held up two fingers. "There are two ways, one fast and one slow. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Brother, stop keeping us in suspense. What's the difference between fast and slow? Just listen to whichever one works better." Gao Dapeng said anxiously, unable to hold his temper.

Wang Changlin also said, "Comrade Li, tell me everything. How is the fast method and how is the slow method?"

Li Youcai put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Manager Gao, how much is the basic salary for your waiters? And how much is the bonus?"

“基本工资20块5毛，奖金8块5毛，每个月正好30块钱。”高大鹏立马回道。

"The quickest way is to stop the bonuses for the existing waiters and, under the guise of service training, pull them out and find somewhere else to house them for a while. Those who disobey will be directly reported back to the catering company for violating company regulations."

"Take advantage of this gap to recruit another group of people. Don't give them regular positions, just pay them as temporary workers. Tell them that those who provide good service will be given priority for regular employment. Use the bonuses saved to support these temporary workers."

Gao Dapeng read Li Youcai's words carefully.

"The bonus is only eight dollars and fifty cents. Even if it's a temporary job, why would anyone come?"

"Of course. Think about how many people are out of work right now. Besides, if you do well, you can get a permanent job. A formal job is quite attractive."

Without waiting for Li Youcai to answer, Wang Changlin spoke first.

"That's not how it works. You have about 10 waiters here now. Even if you only hire half of them as temporary workers, that's two people's bonuses supporting one temporary worker. At 17 yuan a month, how can you not recruit anyone?"

"That's right! Why do I need so many people? Aren't four or five enough?" Gao Dapeng slapped his forehead and suddenly came to his senses.

Gao Dapeng added, "But this isn't a long-term solution. Once these people find out, they won't let it go."

Li Youcai said disdainfully, "So what if they know? You understand the competition for the job? If they're not convinced, they can compete with those temporary workers in service. As long as they do a good job, they can still return to their original positions. But if they can't compare, then they're not as skilled as them, so they should go back for further training."

Roll? That’s easy.

"Okay, okay... this idea is simply great!"

Wang Changlin listened to Li Youcai's idea and applauded by clapping his thighs.

While being surprised, he also looked at Li Youcai with even greater respect.

This idea is absolutely amazing! How did he come up with it?

Gao Dapeng is the hotel manager and has every right to conduct training. Since it is a training period, bonuses are naturally not required.

All steps are within the scope of power and can appropriately resolve the current situation.

high! It’s really high!

"Comrade Li, can you please also talk about the slow method you just mentioned?" Wang Changlin looked at Li Youcai expectantly.
