Rebirth: War on the Honest

521. Sir Wei and Chen Shimei

Early autumn in Jiangcheng is extremely romantic, especially on Zhongshan Avenue. During the National Day, young couples holding hands are always indispensable in the cafes and dessert shops on the streets.

At the end of Seven Days of Fun, Wen Jue was finally freed from his busy work and took Gu Yun out for shopping.

Zhongshan Avenue was built in 1906 and is the most important commercial traffic artery in Old Hankou. From Yunjin Road in the southwest to Huangpu Street in the northeast, it runs through the entire central area of Hankou. It is lined with Western buildings and has a strong commercial atmosphere.

Just on this famous avenue, a new dessert shop called Yinliwei opened.

Wen Jue, who loves desserts, has a regular exercise habit, which is the secret to why she doesn't look fat no matter how much she eats.

"I've never quite understood how you found this kind of dessert shop that just opened and costs so much when you're working tomorrow?"

Compared with Wen Jue, Gu Yun was not that interested in desserts. He sat down on the stool and waited for Wen Jue to place his order.

"It's a good thing that you are still the boss of Xiaojushu. In such a newly opened and petty bourgeois store, people will come to check in, but sometimes it's me and sometimes it's someone else."

Wen Jue was browsing the dessert list and looked up at Gu Yun with a smile.

The waitress from the dessert shop just came over. She was holding a polaroid camera, a pen and colored sticky notes, and asked Gu Yun and Wen Jue: "Our store has a blessing wall event. After participating, you can get a 10% discount on this order. Also,

A small gift is given to you, do you two want to participate?"

Following the waitress's fingers, Gu Yun turned around and saw a wall on the left side behind him. There was a magnetic whiteboard in the middle of the wall, with many photos and colorful sticky notes fixed on it by magnets, filled with blessings.

Seeing Gu Yun's eyes on the magnetic whiteboard, the waitress lost no time in saying: "In addition, if you participate in our store's couple photo event, you can get a 50 yuan voucher for our store and a permanent 20% off membership card."

After speaking, the waitress's eyes swept over Gu Yun and Wen Ju's faces, waiting for their responses.

In fact, as soon as the two sat down and prepared to order, the waitress locked eyes with them.

Their shop owner was a female returnee from overseas, and her husband was an elite. The female shop owner got bored working as a full-time housewife at home, so she spent money to open this pastry shop on Zhongshan Avenue.

In a place like Zhongshan Avenue, every inch of land is precious. Although the goods sold in this store are not cheap and the customer flow is OK, the store is rented. In addition, the boss told the master not to cut corners on materials, and after excluding labor and other costs, so in fact

Not very profitable.

It was only later that the shop assistants realized that the boss did not expect this shop to make money, but wanted entertainment and feelings in his free time. Everyone even suspected that the female boss and her elite husband might have met in a pastry shop.

In particular, the female boss’s note wall and photo wall, which are full of Korean and romantic drama styles, give the store staff a headache.

Because the female boss is very picky about couple photos, if one of the two couples is not good enough in appearance or temperament, they will not be allowed to be on the photo wall, and it is strictly prohibited to do anything like killing someone.

In order not to leave the wall and blackboard empty, the female boss assigned tasks to everyone. Photos should be posted on the wall every month. If the task is not completed, no salary will be deducted. If the task is completed, bonuses will be added.

There is actually a loophole here...

You can ask familiar relatives and friends to take photos, and not only can you get bonuses, but you can also get vouchers and discount cards.

Just after opening, someone found this loophole and put it into practice.

Once, the boss's wife, who had always been very talkative, found out for some reason and without saying a word, she fired the two employees who had committed fraud without leaving any room for maneuver.

Since then, everyone knows that this bonus is not easy to get, so it is better to get it for real.

Wen Jue and Gu Yun, from their looks and temperament to their clothes, pale in comparison to the handsome guys and beauties who were originally on the wall, so the waitress immediately came over to ask.

It would be a pity not to use such customers for publicity.

Gu Yun smiled and took the gel pen handed from the waitress: "It's okay to write a note, but as for taking pictures..."

The waitress smiled and handed the note to Gu Yun. Seeing that the beautiful girl next to him didn't express her opinion, she thought she wanted to ask for her opinion.

She took the initiative to bend down and said to Wen Jue: "Beauty, take a photo with your boyfriend. Love is as sweet as a cake. Of course you have to take a photo to record it. I can give you one more as a souvenir."

Gu Yun said nothing and lowered his head to write on the note. Wen Jue pursed his lips and looked out the window at the busy street.

"Do you want to take a picture?"

How could Gu Yun not recognize the hidden meaning of Wen Jue's words? He nodded immediately: "Okay, remember to wash two more for us."

After hearing this, the waitress immediately said: "Quickly, you two sit closer...yes...look at me...smile...ok...don't move for now, I will take another picture for you."

Top-level beauties, no matter what angle they take the photos from, they look very casual.

The two walked to the wall together, Gu Yun was responsible for hanging the photos, and Wen Ju was responsible for pasting the notes written by Gu Yun.

[I am shouting for you in the starlight of the sea of people, my best years are all related to you.——gy&wj]

After posting the note, Wen Jue looked at the words on it and suddenly smiled: "Are we like high school students who just fell in love?"

In most people's minds, perhaps only middle school students write forever and love on sticky notes during adolescence.

Mature men and women have learned to be calm and restrained early on. They refuse to reveal themselves in their relationships, like hedgehogs putting away their soft bellies.

Gu Yun used a magnet to press the photo to the most conspicuous place on the whiteboard and began to look at the other photos on the whiteboard.

He looked at it and replied: "What's wrong with being a high school student? It's not shameful to express your love."

"Then should I write one too?"

Wen Jue ate the dessert in small bites, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.

Before Wen Jue could take the initiative to speak, the waitress waiting next to her handed over a new gel pen and sticky notes.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When opening a business, there are not that many cooperative customers like Gu Yun and Wen Ju.

Most people don't have such confidence in their appearance and expressive ability, so they will inevitably have some resistance to this kind of public photography and expression.

Wen Jue took the pen and paper, his eyes were wandering, as if he was thinking about what to write.

[If your leather shoes hurt your feet, you can sit on the bench wearing bear socks and blow the evening breeze and chat with me. You are a man and my little prince.——to gy]

When Gu Yun put the note on the whiteboard, the girl looked at his back, her pretty face like a peach blossom filled with red clouds.

A twenty-year-old girl is the age when she is most yearning for and most likely to be immersed in love. If the note paper were not short and delicate, Wen Jue could write a short essay casually.

After walking out of the dessert shop, Gu Yun and Wen Ju walked into a nearby cinema and watched "Operation Mekong" for the third time during the National Day period.

In the evening, Gu Yun took Wen Jue for a big meal, which relieved her from the fatigue of many days of work with ample company.

...

At ten o'clock sharp, Wen Ju's study room in Century Jiangshang Community.

After making love with the lover he hadn't seen for a few days, Wen Jue took a quick bath while humming a little tune, and then went into the study to read documents for a while.

Ten minutes later, Gu Yun opened the door and walked in, making complaints.

"Can't you tell that our little princess has become a workaholic now?"

I just handed in my homework, and after taking a shower, I disappeared. Anyone else would be a little surprised.

Wen Jue chuckled: "No way, I'm asking you to have a good rest, I'm afraid you'll torment me again after I take a shower."

"We don't even take a break during the National Day. How is the company doing now?"

Gu Yun took a few steps forward and pinched Wen Jue's snow-white shoulders exposed outside her pajamas with concern.

"Our company looks gleaming from the outside, but when you walk in and take a quick look, the structure is actually not stable."

Wen Jue put down the document in his hand and replied.

Gu Yun increased the strength on his hands with interest: "How long have you been in power and you have gained something so quickly?"

Wen Jue sat up straight, looked at Gu Yun and said seriously: "Let me ask you a question first. Have you ever thought about what you would do if your core management suddenly changed jobs?"

Gu Yun pondered for a long time and did not answer immediately: "If you have any other questions, ask them together and I will answer them together."

Wen Ju continued: "How can employee loyalty, engagement, cohesion, and enthusiasm be maintained?"

"Any more?"

Gu Yun really felt this time that Wen Jue had indeed grown rapidly during this period since he officially became the leader.

In the past, she only had to do some detailed execution work, and she had the towering tree of Gu Yun behind her to give her strong support.

But now, she has to make all the decisions alone. As long as she doesn't want to lose the business she built from scratch with her lover, she has to give her 100%.

Wen Jue replied: "I have actually already solved the issue of coffee justice. What I want to ask about is your other industries."

"What exactly?"

Gu Yun asked.

"I see that you have been making plans in various places over the past two years, with great ambitions, but in the top-level design of the group's corporate development, you have not found any long-term incentive plan."

Gu Yun now knew what the core issue Wen Jue wanted to express.

Equity incentives.

Gu Yun had thought of this as early as the beginning of his business, but he pushed it back again and again.

The reasons were: first, the business was very scattered at the time and the organizational structure was not fully formed; second, he did not have the right people on hand to do the job, and he himself did not understand it well enough.

And Gu Yun knows that equity incentives are a double-edged sword full of lethality.

If it is done well, the wealth will be scattered and people will gather together. If it is not done well, the wealth will be scattered and people will be scattered.

Especially compared to listed companies, there are no relevant laws and regulations for the equity incentives of unlisted companies to refer to, and their complexity and difficulty may be even more complicated than those of listed companies.

Now, after Wen Jue, a financial professional, officially took charge of a company, she raised this question. Can she solve this problem?

Afterwards, Wen Jue threw the document in his hand to Gu Yun, who read it for a few minutes and his eyes lit up.

Wen Jue's biggest influence after becoming the leader was that under Hua Shiyuan's suggestion, she took the lead and solicited the opinions of her father Wen Qingshan to design an equity incentive plan for Coffee Justice.

In terms of expertise in this area, Wen Qingshan, who has been working hard in the field of finance and investment for decades, is the top one.

In fact, after he became the chairman, Wen Jue discovered that Gu Yun, the "chairman", was actually the executive director.

In many branches of the Paradise Group, there are only two shareholders in total, one with the surname Gu and the other with another surname.

While other surnames hold a very small proportion of shares, Gu Yun is often the absolute majority shareholder.

In Wen Qingshan's view, it is simply unimaginable for a company to achieve its current scale without turning core layers into partners and finding ways to eliminate the "part-time job mentality" of the management and backbone layers.

As an old father, it is obviously inappropriate to talk about this with the young and energetic Gu Yun, but there is no problem in using it as an example to teach his daughter.

Gu Yun looked at this scientific equity incentive plan word by word and had to admire the wisdom and experience of his future father-in-law.

Many of the things in this plan can even be directly used by the Paradise Group.

For example - some modern management tools, whether it is 360-degree evaluation, performance appraisal or management by objectives, etc., the ultimate goal is to hope that employees will have higher enthusiasm, stronger sense of responsibility, do things well and achieve results.

It can be said that the ultimate goal of management is to fully mobilize employees' enthusiasm, initiative and sense of responsibility. The most direct and effective solution is to let employees be their own bosses.

Another example - retail giant Wal-Mart stipulates that as long as employees have worked for the company for one year and work more than 20 hours a week, they can receive an average bonus of 5% of their annual salary.

But the dividends are recorded in the account first and cannot be withdrawn until the person leaves the company. Since the dividends are paid in the company's stocks, and the stock price soars, many managers become millionaires when they retire, and even many ordinary employees become millionaires.

And this directly forms a virtuous circle: employees work hard - the company performs well - employees get more bonuses - employees work harder, and stability, loyalty and cohesion are higher.

While reading the documents and exchanging details with Wen Jue, Gu Yun suddenly asked: "What major did your dad study?"

Wen Jue was slightly startled: "My dad is actually not a major in the financial investment field. He learned many things from my mom."

"oh……"

"Oh what?"

Wen Ju rolled his eyes at him.

His family knew about his family affairs, and Wen Jue had long been indifferent to the relationship between his parents.

"Your father is too much."

Gu Yun stuck out his tongue. Although what the old scumbag Wen Qingshan did was a bit like the modern version of Chen Shimei, he really had nothing to say to his daughter.

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't be like my dad."

"That's impossible. Uncle and I are not the same type at all."

Gu Yun shook his head and quickly dispelled Wen Jue's doubts.

"make it clear."

Wen Jue raised his head, his delicate eyebrows slightly raised.

"Your old Wen Tou, at most he is just Chen Shimei."

A smile appeared on Gu Yun's lips unconsciously.

"Well...what about you?"

Wen Jue did not deny it and continued to ask.

"Me, I think I look more like Wei Xiaobao."

Gu Yun cleared his throat and scratched his head with the hand that was massaging Wen Jue, looking a little embarrassed.

"Okay, don't pretend anymore, right? Do you still want to marry seven wives?"
