Metropolis: I’m Really Not A Prodigal Son

Jia Shoufu took out a piece of paper and began racking his brains to plan how to spend money.

The company spends nothing more than a few dollars.

Employee wages, company hardware, company benefits, etc.

Employee wages already require Ma Teng to recruit the best employees.

The company's hardware, including computers and servers, has already been arranged for purchase.

That leaves company benefits.

Jia Shoufu suddenly remembered that he had left the company several times.

I found that Ma Teng and many people were working overtime.

Thinking of this, he called Ma Teng in.

"What time do you get off work these days?"

Ma Teng said: "I didn't think about it, but it was probably late at night when I left."

"Is it late at night?"

Jia Shoufu asked in surprise: "You don't want to die?"

Ma Teng said helplessly: "There is no way, the number of Penguin registrations is increasing rapidly every day."

"Are you working overtime because you are too busy with the work?"

Ma Teng said: "It used to be, but now that we have hired more than 10 people, the pressure has been relieved a lot."

Jia Shoufu patted him on the shoulder, "I ask you now to go to and from get off work on time. From now on at Penguin Company, we must put an end to the bad habit of working overtime."

Ma Teng was stunned, "Mr. Jia, some jobs can't be finished without working overtime."

"I don't care, that's your problem. You can hire people or solve it through other problems. Overtime is not allowed anyway."

After all, Jia Shoufu’s purpose is to lose money.

If this kind of overtime work continues and the company cultivates a group of hard-working people, that will be a bad sign.

He must kill this sign while it is still in its infancy.

When it comes to employee health issues, Jia Shoufu had an idea.

"How do employees get lunch now?"

Ma Teng said: "The company provides lunch subsidies, but most employees eat at small restaurants near the vegetable market."

"A hotel nearby?"

Jia Shoufu has passed by it several times and knows that small restaurants in wet markets are all fly houses.

But the food is cheap, which attracts a large number of nearby workers to go there for lunch.

Jia Shoufu said: "You find a clean hotel chef, and the company will provide lunch from now on."

Ma Teng was stunned again, "Mr. Jia, this will increase a lot of costs. We are still in the startup stage..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jia Shoufu: "We can't suffer the employees even if they are suffering."

"That's it. It's settled. You go and implement it."

Ma Teng was about to walk out of the office with a puzzled look on his face.

"etc."

Ma Teng turned back and looked at Jia Shoufu.

Jia Shoufu said: "You told me today that the number of Penguin registrations exceeded 10 million?"

"Yes."

"Let me tell you that tomorrow afternoon for half a day, the company will have a team building dinner to celebrate the moment of breaking through 10 million."

Team building is a good opportunity to spend money. You can eat delicious food yourself and spend money unexpectedly.

Jia Shoufu applauds her wit.

Ma Teng walked out of the office dumbfounded.

At this time, he happened to meet Zhang Ye, another founder of the company.

The two were once college classmates and business partners, and they have gotten to know each other very well over the years.

Zhang Ye saw Ma Teng's dumbfounded look and asked doubtfully, "Mr. Jia gave you a problem?"

Ma Teng nodded, then shook his head.

His behavior confused Zhang Ye, "What's wrong with you?"

So Ma Teng told him the request made by Jia Shoufu.

Zhang Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Mr. Jia is really unfathomable."

Ma Teng looked at him with confusion, "How did you tell that he was unfathomable?"

Zhang Ye explained: "First of all, we are not allowed to work overtime."

"It seems to affect work, but in fact Mr. Jia indirectly reminds us that we need to change our working methods and increase work efficiency."

Ma Teng recalled that he had been working overtime for a while, and most of his head was a mess, and his work efficiency was poor.

It seems like we should really take a look at whether there is something wrong with the way we work.

“What about employee lunches?”

Zhang Ye said: "Health is one aspect. I think this is because Mr. Jia wants us to communicate more."

"Have you noticed that many times when we are working, a lot of work is wasted due to poor communication?"

"Mr. Jia provides working meals just so that everyone can get together and communicate more while eating."

Ma Teng suddenly realized: "What about the team building dinner?"

"I estimate two points. First, many new people have joined and are not familiar with each other."

"Mr. Jia wants them to quickly integrate into Penguin technology."

"The second point is to tell these newcomers that Penguin Technology is a promising company on the pretext that the number of registrations has exceeded 10 million."

"In this way, employee morale will be high, the company atmosphere will be good, and efficiency will be higher."

Ma Teng suddenly realized, "Then why doesn't Mr. Jia just say it directly and insist on playing riddles?"

Zhang Ye explained: "I guess Mr. Jia is trying to protect your face."

"The second thing is to hone us and make us aware of our shortcomings."

Zhang Ye patted Ma Teng on the shoulder, "Don't underestimate Mr. Jia because he is young."

"Can someone who can spend so much money at such a young age be a simple person?"
