Chapter 20 Good news from Nintendo

There was a soft knock on the door, and then Lin Lian walked in softly with a bowl of soup. Having been Fang Mingyuan's secretary for so long, Lin Lian naturally knew that Fang Mingyuan liked to be clean when he was working. She didn't know how he managed it.

I have developed this habit. At home, I don’t like sitting on the sofa or the boss chair, but I just like sitting on the window sill. For this reason, the window of this room was specially renovated.

These days, although Lin Lian was still busy with the opening of the Beijing branch of Fang's Restaurant, she also noticed Fang Mingyuan's frown from time to time - it was obvious that he had encountered some difficulties. At such a young age, he had to act like an adult,

Lin Lian's heart aches when she thinks about fighting for her family in society. Thinking about how at this age, although her family was not wealthy, she still lived a carefree life despite not understanding the hardships of the world.

.

When she came to the capital, Mr. and Mrs. Fang specially summoned her and repeatedly told her to take good care of Fang Mingyuan, especially to pay attention to his health. Fang Mingyuan was still in the stage of growing up.

And sleep must be ensured. Lin Lian naturally took the instructions of the old man of the Fang family to heart. So these days, even if Lin Lian is tired when she returns home, she will try her best to make some midnight snacks for Fang Mingyuan and the others. In the kitchen

I often cook chicken soup, although most of the meat is cheaper than Chen Zhong, Wei Xingguo and Liu Yong.

When Fang Mingyuan heard the noise, he turned around and saw that it was Lin Lian. He quickly jumped down from the window sill, stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Sister Lian, when it's done, just ask me to come over and drink. You don't have to bring it to me every time."

.”

Lin Lian avoided his outstretched hand and said repeatedly: "Don't take it anymore, it's hot!" The aroma of the freshly cooked chicken soup made people's appetites whet their appetite.

"Sister Lian, sit down and talk. The decoration of the restaurant is almost done. When do you plan to open it?" Fang Mingyuan asked casually.

"Well, it's coming to an end. In another half month, everything will be ready." Lin Lian sat across from him and said with a smile. She watched a store slowly reveal its true appearance in the design in her hands.

, that sense of accomplishment filled her heart with joy. A year ago, even if I beat her to death, she would not have thought that she was also a manager in a restaurant in the capital.

Although the name of Fangjia Restaurant's branch in Beijing is still Fangjia Restaurant, its area and layout are completely different from those branches in Qinxi Province. The entire three-story building was bought.

Coming down, excluding the kitchen, outside the workroom, there is a business area of ​​more than 400 square meters, which is enough to accommodate hundreds of customers to dine in the store at the same time. And the service staff in the store, add up to seventy or eighty people.

With such a scale, let alone Fengyuan, even in Beijing, in 1990, it was considered one of the leaders in the industry.

"Have you already recruited the executive deputy manager?" Although Lin Lian will hold the position of general manager of the branch, her regular job is still Fang Mingyuan's secretary, so the store still needs someone who can stay in charge for a long time.

Senior management. According to Fang Mingyuan, in addition to some of the chefs and waiters, the Fang Family Restaurant also had two accountants who were transferred from Qinxi, and the rest were recruited in the capital.

"Well, he will officially report to the store tomorrow." Lin Lian could not hide her joy in her words. Although she was not handling the affairs of the restaurant alone, she still felt the pressure on her shoulders.

It's very big. The arrival of this standing deputy manager can relieve her of a lot of routine work. So she, who has been too busy to take a break these days, can finally take a breather.

"Master Fang, all the cadre positions in this restaurant have been filled, but there are still more than a dozen vacancies for the waiter position. Should we recruit another group of people from Qinxi?" Lin Lian asked tentatively.

.The young women in the capital have such a high vision. It has been nearly half a month since the recruitment of waiters. There are not many local young women of the right age in the capital who have come to apply, and those who can sign employment contracts are all

They are not available in the suburban counties of the capital, the fourth district of the city, or even the eighth district of the city. And the conditions provided by Fang Family Restaurant are definitely among the highest salaries among their counterparts in the capital.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, and this result was not beyond his expectation. The citizens of the great country under the emperor's feet have this innate arrogance. They are not willing to do this kind of job of carrying dishes and washing dishes.

There is nothing surprising. After all, in 1990, the employment situation was not as severe as it was in the previous life. Although it was very convenient for him to recruit young women from Qin Xi Fengyuan, the Fang Family Restaurant is now in Qin

It is also a well-known catering chain company in the Western Province. Not only does its employees have high salaries, but they also have good benefits. Therefore, every time they recruit workers, they are carefully selected. To recruit more than a dozen people, it is not a matter of Lin Lian's words. But

Fang Mingyuan didn't want to do that.

If a company really wants to take root in a place, it must recruit a large number of local people. This is a rule verified by the experience of countless companies in previous lives. Moreover, the capital is so big, just open a branch in one district.

, then at least eight stores need to be opened. It is impossible to recruit middle-level cadres for every store opening, right? Moreover, employees who have jumped jobs and become middle- and upper-level cadres will not be easily recognized by the employees. Secondly, they will not be recognized by the employees.

After being cultivated by the company, the recognition of the corporate culture is not high, and it will take a certain amount of time to integrate into the company. Regarding the first branch of Fangjia Restaurant in Beijing, Fang Mingyuan values ​​​​more its signboard and training functions.

.The waiters recruited from Qinxi Province and the young women from the capital will all be candidates for middle- and high-level cadres in the newly opened branches of Fang Family Restaurant in the future.

"Then relax the conditions and recruit some laid-off female workers under the age of forty with good image. Let them be responsible for hygiene and cleaning this area full-time." Fang Mingyuan is not discriminating against older women, but the reality of the catering industry in China.

The decision is made. The more high-end hotels and restaurants are, in addition to kitchen and health personnel, only middle- and high-level cadres can use older women. The front desk, waiters, and doormen must all use young women. Otherwise,

, will affect the passenger flow. Who made the saying "beautiful and delicious" so popular in China?

Even foreign fast food such as McDonald's and KFC strictly enforced this rule when they first entered China. The employees responsible for collecting cash were astonishing. Two thousand years later, due to their status in the Chinese fast food market,

After it was already as stable as Mount Tai, this standard was lowered. By the year 2010, there was no need to mention it.

Fang Mingyuan still remembers very clearly that in his previous life, two thousand years ago, there was a Chinese fast food that was very popular in China. At that time, there was also a branch of it in the capital. Fang Mingyuan went there once. The store was an old lady in Yishui, and the store was also

KFC is not as bright as McDonald's. Although the quality and taste of the food are good, compared with the KFC next to it, the gap between the two is simply clear. As a result, within half a year, this Chinese fast food store changed

It became McDonald's, and Fang Mingyuan has never seen this brand in Beijing since then. Since Beijing cannot recruit enough waiters in a short period of time, it will accept some of the laid-off workers. This can be regarded as a modest contribution to reducing the number of unemployed people in Beijing.

"Laid-off female worker?" Lin Lian was a little surprised, but her father himself had a similar experience. He naturally sympathized with these people who could only earn the minimum wage and were invisible unemployed, so she nodded in agreement. From Beijing

The economic situation is naturally much better than that of Fengyuan, but the generally poor economic situation of state-owned enterprises determines that there must be laid-off female workers in the capital.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment. In his previous life, the problem of laid-off workers first appeared in the late 1980s and early 1990s. At first, it was not called laid-off. In some places, it was called "leaving work without pay", and in other places, it was called "unemployed in the factory."

Some called it "long vacation", "two jobs" and so on. It was not until the mid-to-late 1990s that the problem of laid-off workers began to emerge as a socio-economic phenomenon and attracted widespread attention from all aspects of society. In order to solve this problem, the country

To solve the problem, many related policies including tax exemptions, industrial and commercial registration discounts, administrative fee discounts, and credit preferential policies were introduced. During that period, companies that could effectively help the government solve the problem of reemployment of laid-off workers would receive support from government officials.

Pay special attention. Fang Mingyuan once read an article in his previous life, which was calculated based on statistics from the government's labor department. In 1993, the number of laid-off workers nationwide was approximately three million, and by 1997

In 2001, there were more than 10 million people, in 1999, it was more than 20 million, and in 2001, it was close to 30 million people. As for how much water was included in this report, Fang Mingyuan was no longer too lazy.

Go and think about it.

Although Fang Mingyuan's parents in his previous life had never been laid off, they had been worried about it. He still clearly remembered that there was a period when his parents were always unhappy, sighing and hissing, and his father had a particularly bad temper at that time.

, just like a drug, it ignites on fire, and sometimes gets angry with himself for no apparent reason. Later he found out that during that period, the factory was clamoring to lay off workers in large numbers. And the uncle had been in his previous life.

In this life, he was laid off early and could only find odd jobs outside to support his family. In this life, although his parents and uncle no longer have to worry about this, Fang Mingyuan still plans to help these people as much as possible.

"Sister Lian, you will draft a notice in a few days, requiring all future domestic industries that have laid off workers to recruit laid-off workers in positions that they are qualified for. Then send it to my uncle.

Just don’t move. For the newly created posts in the future, after satisfying the needs of military and police personnel, let him strictly implement them in Qinxi."

Lin Lian's face showed a look of surprise. As Fang Mingyuan's secretary, she is now considered a middle- and high-level cadre of the Fang family industry. After more than a year of training, study, and when she was in Hong Kong, Yu Qiuxia sent someone

With his careful guidance, Lin Lian is no longer the factory girl with a narrow vision.

What is surprising is that the Fang family industry will definitely bear a big burden. Most of the employees who are difficult to be laid off are older, mostly in their forties and fifties. These people have worked in the factory for many years and have developed

They have a lot of very bad problems in the eyes of Lin Lian who has experienced the trip to Hong Kong. It will probably take a lot of time to make them adapt to the rules of the Fang family industry. Moreover, these people are old after all, regardless of their hands and feet.

Neither the sharpness nor the reaction speed of the brain can be compared with that of young people. And after they have completely adapted, it will not be far away from their retirement. Rather than recruiting these people, in terms of cost and efficiency, it is actually better

It's really better to recruit young people with more plasticity.

Fortunately, given Fang Mingyuan's status in the Fang family, this document, which is more like an order than a notice, will definitely be implemented by Fang Bin without compromise. With the development speed of the Fang family's industry, within a few years,

It will definitely be able to absorb a large number of laid-off workers in Qinxi Province. In this case, it will be more or less a compensation for these people who have contributed their youth to the country, at least allowing them to have income to maintain a normal life. And Fang Mingyuan is taking the lead in helping laid-off workers.

Employees, with his influence in the future, more people will surely join this ranks. That kind of pitiful life is just over a year away from Lin Lian, and she is still deeply aware of it.

Remember, I was helpless at that time.

"Master Fang, I thank you on behalf of those poor people!" Lin Lian stood up and bowed deeply to Fang Mingyuan. Fang Mingyuan turned slightly sideways and accepted her gift half-heartedly.

"Sister Lian, didn't I tell you that if you don't want Fang Shao Fang, you can call me Mingyuan." Fang Mingyuan said helplessly. This was not the first time he had raised this issue.

"There's no need to thank you. What I can help is just a drop in the bucket." Fang Mingyuan shook his head repeatedly. Thinking of that figure of 30 million, anyone must have a headache.

Lin Lian smiled sweetly and said: "Young Master Fang's words reminded me of a story. This is what I heard in Hong Kong. When the tide goes down, there are always some fish and shrimps left on the beach. There is a boy, and he leaves

On the beach, throw the fish and shrimps you see into the sea..."

Fang Mingyuan has also heard this story. Someone advised this child that the sea is so big, the beach is so long, and there are so many fish and shrimps left on the beach every day due to low tide, what is the point of doing this? Who cares?

?The child picked up the fish one by one, threw them into the sea and said: "It will care. It will care too, they will all care."

Fang Mingyuan and Lin Lian looked at each other and smiled, doing more or less, as long as they had a clear conscience.

Fang Mingyuan looked at his watch. Zhao Ya and the others should be back soon, and asked casually: "How is Lin Rong doing lately?" School has started now, so she should have been back early, but she hasn't been seen here.

Report in.

Lin Lian smiled and said: "It's okay. She called me and asked me to go to her university to play. How can I have such leisurely time now? I heard from her that two days before coming back from Lishanlin, Hou Ming found someone again.

More than eldest sister."

"Hou Ming?" Fang Mingyuan sounded familiar to this name, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"That's the eldest sister's original fiancé. Later, he came to my house to break up and ask for a bride price." Lin Lian sneered. Fang Mingyuan suddenly remembered it. He didn't have a deep impression of Hou Ming, but he had a deep impression of his father Hou Ming.

Aiguo and the shrew remember it quite clearly. He asked them to pay nine thousand yuan, but that money was later given to the orphanage.

"What does he want from your eldest sister?" Fang Mingyuan had a bad impression of the Hou family and couldn't help but frown.

"What else can I do? Tell my eldest sister that it was not his intention to break off the engagement, but was forced by his family. He also said that he still can't forget my eldest sister after more than a year and wants to get back together. He asked my dad to kick her out." Lin Lianyi

He said with contempt on his face. At first, the Lin family did not approve of the marriage between the eldest sister and Hou Ming. After the divorce, their impression of the Hou family was even less. Now the Lin family has a house, and Lin Rong has also gone to the capital to attend university.

, the whole family has good jobs and lives a prosperous and fulfilling life. The Hou family wants to get married again. How can such a good thing happen?

Regarding the Lin family's family affairs, Fang Mingyuan couldn't say much. Love is the most unreasonable thing, and it's rounder than fucking football!

At this moment, the phone in the house rang. It was an international long-distance call. It was from Aso Xiangyue. She reported the good news to Fang Mingyuan. Both Nintendo and Sega were negotiating with the company and wanted to introduce "Zuma" and "Bubble Bobble" to the game.

Their handheld game consoles go.

"Handheld game console?" Fang Mingyuan then remembered that Lao Ren's GB was already on the market last year, and it seems that Sega will also release a handheld game console this year.

"They all want to own these two games exclusively on the handheld console, but currently, Sega's bid is higher." Aso Kasuki shouted excitedly on the phone. Over the past year, she has become a big player in the Japanese gaming industry.

As Fang Mingyuan's works continue to sell well, the Japanese in the gaming industry no longer have any discrimination against her because of her gender - as several of her works have become hits in Japan and internationally.

As the agent of the author of a best-selling game, the Japanese, who admire the strong, were naturally very polite to her.

However, Aso Xiangyue is not an idle person. In the past year, she brought back nearly millions of dollars in income to Fang Mingyuan just from licensing various game images. Naturally, she herself also made a lot of money.

Fang Mingyuan quickly turned his head. Both companies wanted to monopolize it, so of course they had to choose Nintendo. When Nintendo's handheld console was at its peak, it could be said to be unstoppable. It was not until Sony released the PSP that it became a threat.

Its status, but it is still the well-deserved leader in the handheld market.

"Aso, don't worry about Sega. Their handheld consoles will definitely not be able to compete with GB in the future." If you choose the wrong console for a good game, the consequences will be self-evident.

"Aso, I have an idea. Can you help me talk to Nintendo? I want the production license for the Famicom!"
