National Tide 1980

When we all do something together, there is nothing better than having partners who can trust each other and understand each other.

Although this trust and consideration are conditional.

But as long as he can do things without constraints and constraints, Ning Weimin will also appreciate his kindness and feel gratified and satisfied.

Just like this consultation and discussion on the decoration plan of No. 87.

The process was quite smooth, with almost no tug-of-war, and the decision was made quickly.

The Temple of Heaven Garden and the District Service Bureau gave the green light without any conditions, which can be said to have greatly exceeded Ning Weimin's psychological expectations.

No one knows better than him how advanced his ideas and designs are.

Although he has business experience accumulated in his previous life and a vision for the future, he has no actual catering management experience.

So it is completely taken for granted, and some business standards and management models from thirty years later are put into today out of thin air.

However, the management of catering business involves all aspects and is the most comprehensive business.

Even for him, it is not easy for him to grasp the appropriate scale when faced with such a rather complicated plan.

It cannot be too far ahead so that contemporary people cannot accept it conceptually.

And we cannot ignore the actual situation, regardless of the cost, and just copy it from the brain.

How can we make reasonable plans that are in line with the current environment?

This is definitely not an easy task.

To be honest, Ning Weimin originally expected to encounter some resistance.

And regardless of whether these doubts are reasonable or not, after weighing the pros and cons, he may make certain compromises or concessions in order to take care of the emotions of his partners.

In the end, I didn't expect that everyone would believe him so much.

Although he obviously had concerns and worries in his heart, these partners finally allowed him to implement his ideas in full.

There is no doubt that this is both an inspiration and a pressure, which deeply spurred him.

To this end, in order to succeed, Ning Weimin will of course be more cautious and strict with himself, and will be even more careful in operating the following steps.

Lest what you end up with is a noisy and messy freak with luxurious elements piled up, a big nondescript joke.

Then he has betrayed everyone's trust in vain and owed a debt of gratitude that he cannot afford to repay.

So in the next few days, Ning Weimin began to implement the plan in a bold and bold manner, without the pride and freedom of the sea.

Instead, he closed the door of the office, carefully considered the rationality of the plan, discussed the implementation details of the plan, and calculated various expenditures related to the plan.

Together with the deputy director and Qiao Wanlin, he did almost nothing in three days.

That is to discuss again and again issues such as construction costs, equipment costs, as well as future management costs and passenger flow consumption quotas.

Even when they ate together in the canteen of the Temple of Heaven Garden at noon, they couldn't help but whisper.

So much so that in the eyes of the leadership team of the Temple of Heaven, the deputy director was a little out of touch with the collective.

But the deputy director doesn't care much anymore.

Because of Ning Weimin's ambitious ambitions, his seriousness in asking questions, and the importance he placed on his work experience, he was busy and happy.

It's like I suddenly found the feeling I had when I first started working in early 1957.

At that time, people had clear goals and unified thoughts, in order to surpass the United Kingdom and catch up with the United States.

But now they are all working for the future of the joint venture restaurant.

For some reason, he, who was already in his forties, was actually excited by two young men who were much younger than him, and he rekindled his ambition to do something big.

So don't look at the fact that some people are joking about the deputy principal in private, saying that he hangs out with young people all day long and almost thinks of himself as a young man.

But even the deputy director himself has to admit that the spiritual rejuvenation is real.

After three days of closed-door meetings, another three busier days came.

Ning Weimin began to take chartered cars all over the city to look for catering units under the Service Bureau.

Take the initiative to understand and calculate the costs of various tableware, kitchen equipment, and even decorations.

Because of the relationship with the service bureau and the call from Qiao Wanlin, it was easy for Ning Weimin to obtain these data from the catering units in the district, and the integrity and authenticity of the data were also guaranteed.

The managers of those time-honored brands in the area tell everything they know.

Qiao Wanlin and the deputy director went to discuss the construction costs with their preferred construction parties according to Ning Weimin's plan.

Since the measurement work of Beishen Kitchen has been completed, Qiao Wanlin also has a rough design sketch.

Both aspects of construction accounting work can be done more accurately.

The result was not unknown, but I was really shocked when I calculated it.

No matter Ning Weimin, the deputy director, or Qiao Wanlin, no one expected that there was a big gap between the actual expenditure and their original plan, and it exceeded the budget!

For example, Ning Weimin, in addition to the construction and decoration expenses he can think of.

Such as personnel training, curtains and towels, furnishings, kitchen utensils and stoves, cups and dishes, in addition to transportation costs.

There were actually all kinds of expenses that he couldn't even imagine.

For example, boiler air conditioning, tableware loss, kitchen cleaning, washing and dry cleaning, etc.

Due to the social situation, the deputy director and Qiao Wanlin encountered the problem of rising prices of building materials.

The ancient construction team said that the roof of the ancient building must be insulated.

But because the price of tin has increased recently, and the price has almost doubled, the price of the "tin quilt" used for the roof has naturally increased accordingly.

The construction team working on the renovation of No. 87 complained that such a style can be achieved in engineering, but decorative materials and lighting fixtures are difficult to find.

If you deal with it casually, the smell won't come out at all.

The most critical thing is that both construction teams said that because more and more construction sites have broken ground in Beijing recently, building materials have become increasingly scarce.

Although the prices set by the state have not changed, these things are no longer easy to obtain.

If you want to successfully get the approval from the Materials Bureau, you have to pay a lot of social expenses.

Therefore, they all ask for the construction fee to be raised, otherwise they will not be able to do it.

As a result, if you calculate it this way, not counting other situations that will arise later, you will have to pay at least an extra fifty or sixty thousand.

So now the deputy director and Qiao Wanlin were confused and did not dare to act rashly.

They are all afraid of falling into a huge bottomless pit of funds, and they are worried that this matter will never end again.

So they all advised Ning Weimin to just put the ancient buildings on hold and wait and see.

But Ning Weimin really didn't dare to wait.

It’s not that he doesn’t listen to the advice, it’s that he knows better than anyone else that the price increase for building materials has only just begun.

I am afraid that Beijing will soon turn into a large construction site with full bloom. It will be good if the country can suppress the surge in prices.

There is absolutely no chance that building material prices will fall again.

Of course, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, so just pay more if you have more money.

What's more, Ning Weimin has already thought about the Northern Divine Chef countless times.

The future glory of the entire restaurant is almost entirely tied to the Feng Shui treasure land of Beishen Kitchen.

He knew very well what things could be compromised and what things could not be compromised, what things should be done first and what things could be put off.

The most certain thing now is that Beishen Kitchen must start construction as soon as possible. One more day of delay is equivalent to one less day of making money.

If a place like Beishen Kitchen were not used to deceive the Japanese and take real money out of the kid's pockets, it would be a waste of money.

So Ning Weimin didn't hesitate long before he took the initiative and signed the approval.

Add money!

This is a matter of urgency. Let's break ground first and get things done later.

By then there will really be big holes in other areas.

At most, we can just find a way from the turnover of Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall.

As for investment rights and interests, Ning Weimin does not intend to use this to gain more rights and interests.

He made it clear to the deputy director and Qiao Wanlin that if funds were insufficient in the future and he needed to advance money, it would not count as an increase in investment.

Instead, it is regarded as a temporary loan for the joint venture restaurant project.

He will report it to the head office again and won't let everyone suffer.

Needless to say, this was the favor that Ning Weimin returned to Director Tiantan and Director Jin.

This matter was spread through the mouths of the deputy director and Qiao Wanlin.

Of course, the director of Tiantan was very pleased, and he and the deputy director sighed.

"Comrade Xiao Ning is really good. Let's not talk about his ability to do things. The key is to be courageous and responsible. He is also reasonable and knows how to behave."

"Now I really believe that there will be no problem if he is given full responsibility for the restaurant. If he can't manage it well, then others will certainly not be able to manage it either. Is that true?"

"Such a young man has a bright future. But why did he end up in a foreign-funded enterprise? Oh, what a pity..."

The deputy director said, "This Ning Weimin is pretty good, but then again. If he were in a state-owned unit, at best, he would be a regular student now. He wouldn't have such an opportunity to display his abilities so early. "

"For example, if he is from our Temple of Heaven, no matter how much you value him, you cannot let him be the leader in charge of this restaurant. That would be tantamount to harming him."

"Let me tell you, foreigners dare to employ people and are able to employ people. They do not stick to any style and do not care about seniority. We really can't compare with this. But they are also too ruthless in employing people and are a bit eager for quick success and instant benefit. They never think about how to cultivate the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Cultivate your subordinates well..."

The same goes for Director Jin, nagging Qiao Wanlin.

"Manager Xiao Ning shocked me again this time. With so much money, he dared to make the decision on his own. It's amazing! No wonder people say that old-style capitalism is great. Look at the decisiveness of this rich man! It seems that he does it The experience accumulated through hundreds of years of business is really not just bragging. If we compete with them in business, then we will go to the battlefield with naked children. It all depends on the conscience of the other party..."

However, Qiao Wanlin only agreed with half of what he said.

"Yes, our rigidity in management is a weakness, but foreign capital may not be invincible when it enters the mainland. They still cannot do without us and are at the mercy of our policies. Ning Weimin also told me that they are the ones who can find us for cooperation. Fortunately, many things have been smooth from now on. And foreign capital has to use our people to do things. I can guarantee that Ning Weimin is by no means a comprador in the old society. This guy is still very friendly and has been taking the initiative to help. Considering our interests..."

These words made Director Jin nod his head.

Qiao Wanlin did see aspects that he did not see.

And the way it is expressed is clever and not embarrassing.

"Yes, you are looking at the problem from an outside perspective, and you see problems that we are not aware of. Yes, we also have advantages. Once we both rely on each other, we have to show sincerity to the other party. Besides, , that colleague of yours is indeed a good person, and he knows how to be courteous, so I’m not worried about him. But it depends on the person’s character..."

Director Kim is not a naive person.

Although I feel a little worried about the sincerity of foreign investors who are only interested in profit.

But when Qiao Wanlin mentioned the concerns of foreign parties, he really understood them.

What's more, Ning Weimin's affairs were done well.

As long as Pierre \u0026 Co. doesn't replace him, the investment should be nothing to worry about.

I don’t know why there is such a coincidence in the world. In fact, at the same time as Director Jin and Qiao Wanlin were talking.

Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant and the American Chrysler Motor Company finally ended four years of arduous negotiations and decided to sign a joint venture agreement.

As for the reason why the two parties were finally able to resolve their serious differences and many concerns, it was actually because someone said almost similar words to the leaders responsible for approving the joint venture agreement.

Thus, the first automobile company in my country's automobile industry was born.
