Chapter 1252 Distributing Money

"I understand, of course I understand."

The old director was the first to say, "Well, what Manager Xiao Ning said makes sense. After all, we are a socialist country, and Tan Gong is jointly run by several of our units. The principle of distribution is distribution according to work. We can't let the Japanese devils who take the capitalist road outperform us. Manager Xiao Ning has reason to do this. I agree with his starting point and I fully understand his difficulties. Especially in the face of complex and changing situations abroad, it is reasonable to take emergency measures. Even if there are some minor flaws in the work, it is not a big deal. I reiterate that Manager Xiao Ning is a hero of our Tan Gong Restaurant. There is no doubt that it is a great achievement. No matter how you put it, it is not easy for Manager Xiao Ning or our domestic employees to run the Tan Palace branch overseas so well and to obtain such huge profits. It is definitely worthy of recognition and praise. However, whether the practice of giving high bonuses is impeccable, whether it can continue to be implemented, and how much bonus is reasonable, need to be discussed in depth. What the final rules should be, I am afraid we still have to wait until we return to China to discuss and discuss, so that we can have a specific opinion. Manager Xiao Ning should also understand our difficulties in this regard. "

Deputy Director Jin of the Service Bureau also said, "Yes, yes, the success of the Tan Palace branch in Tokyo, Japan, is all due to Manager Xiao Ning. Originally, several of our units opened such a restaurant just to make life easier and give everyone more bonuses. Unexpectedly, we dug out a golden baby with a hoe. Now, let alone full warehouses of surplus grain, we have even established ourselves in Tokyo. Who did we rely on? It was our Manager Xiao Ning. Frankly speaking, it is understandable that Manager Xiao Ning sees and wants to solve the problems. This is due to his superior business quality. Being able to think about the interests of domestic employees is enough to prove that his ideological awareness is very high, and he deserves the trust and reliance of several of our investors. In fact, I personally think that the income gap between Chinese and Japanese employees is too great, which will affect morale. But this problem is indeed not that simple. It involves policy direction and has a wide range of impacts. This approach is a bit ahead of its time, so whether it can be sustained as a long-term solution may not be determined all at once. The importance of this should be clear to all of us present, right?"

The two people leading the inspection team set the tone immediately.

To put it bluntly, the old director and Director Jin took the initiative to express their opinions and cleared Ning Weimin of all responsibility in this matter in person.

But there is one problem that cannot be solved.

This matter is of great importance and will affect the entire body. Neither of them has the courage to guarantee or give Ning Weimin a pass to distribute high bonuses privately.

After all, Ning Weimin gave too much money to his subordinates, to the point where it could make people suddenly rich.

Too many people are jealous of these domestic employees who work abroad and bring back huge sums of money. It is no exaggeration to say that the public is outraged and is attacking them in droves.

Moreover, this pressure comes from top to bottom. It can be said that anyone who has not benefited from it does not want to see this happen again.

I have long been accustomed to the fact that all Chinese people are the same.

Although people may be dissatisfied with a life lacking changes and opportunities, few people want others to get rich before them and become the first person to achieve financial freedom.

So even though I was willing to support Ning Weimin from the bottom of my heart, I also understood that what he was doing was right, and I even felt quite sympathetic towards the situation where he was forced to do so.

However, neither the director nor Deputy Director Jin dared to publicly affirm all of Ning Weimin's actions without reservation.

Because they understand better the power of opposition, the frightening nature of people's words, and the danger of fighting the majority with the minority, no one wants to become a tragic figure like Wang Anshi.

  They can't just stand against the majority, right?

You have to leave yourself some wiggle room so that you can deal with this matter more conveniently.

They can't even guarantee what specific results they can achieve by going back to appease those who have objections.

This is also their difficulty.

Needless to say, everyone else naturally agreed with the words of the director and the bureau chief, nodding frequently.

Logically speaking, Ning Weimin should have stopped at this point.

After all, the hidden danger in his body has been solved, and he will definitely not be held responsible for it anymore.

  At this time, there is no need to show off your personality or try to be unique!

There is no need to smash other people’s friendly arrangements in front of them!

But in fact he chose to push further.

It's not because he is so stupid that he is completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter, does not understand the many concerns of the two leaders, and ignores the contempt of others.

It’s because in order to solve the problem, the means he prepared were not just to play the victim, he also had constructive solutions.

"Yes, the leaders should go back and study and discuss this carefully. After all, this is a major issue that concerns whether our Tan Palace Restaurant can develop smoothly overseas. If we don't fully consider all aspects of the issue, it will be difficult to get a proper solution."

Ning Weimin first affirmed the two leaders' statements, and then said, "However, I personally have some additional suggestions for the leaders' reference. Although I dare not say that the problem will be solved once and for all, it can at least temporarily maintain the situation from collapse and ensure the development needs of the Altar Palace. I also hope that the leaders present here can give me some advice to see if it is feasible."

The director and Deputy Director Jin looked at each other, somewhat stunned.

"You said."

"Just now the two leaders said that the impact is too wide, and I also understand the complexity of this matter. It is not the quantity that is a problem, but the inequality. This problem is the real difficulty of this matter. It is simple to say and can be summarized in one sentence, but because this situation exists in multiple dimensions, it is very difficult to solve. For example, the huge income gap exists not only between Chinese and Japanese employees, but also between our domestic employees and those who come to foreign countries. It is also difficult to look at this problem from the perspective of the Altar Palace and our several investment units. I can understand the thoughts of most people. Obviously, everyone is tied to the same boat and is working hard for a goal. But when it comes to distributing the benefits, we can't just take care of these employees who go abroad and ignore others, right? This is also a question I have been thinking about. How can we satisfy everyone? How can we strive for a relatively fair distribution method and maintain the unity of our common interests..."

Ning Weimin's words pointed directly to the core issue without any hesitation, proving that he had indeed considered it carefully and was confident.

Now not only the director and Deputy Director Jin were puzzled, but other members of the inspection team also became interested and stopped being perfunctory and became focused.

You know, cutting and dividing cakes has always been a headache.

Even when the company distributes oranges, some people complain that their own are small and others' are big, let alone the distribution of benefits such as real money.

No one could have imagined how Ning Weimin could do this.

Director Li, who always makes mistakes, couldn't help but interrupt. "Of course it would be great if it were that way, but it's too difficult. Manager Ning, you just said that this problem exists not only between domestic employees and foreign workers, but also between the distribution of interests within the Palace and the investment units. How can they all be coordinated? How is that possible?"

Ning Weimin just smiled at Director Li's questioning. "...In fact, for the employees of Tan Palace, the solution is relatively simple. It is enough to rotate positions, both at home and abroad. Anyway, the Japanese work visa is only three years, you three years and I three years, the best ones will be selected, and the qualifications and merits will be appropriately considered. That's enough. The only difficulty is that we only have one store in Tokyo now, and there are not enough positions, so the solution to the problem is to expand the scope of business and open branches. As long as we have enough overseas branches, everyone can take turns, which will not only calm the public anger, but also gather people's hearts and make everyone more motivated. Isn't it?"

It's true, this is true. When everyone heard it, many people couldn't help but nod their heads.

Even Director Li felt relieved and basically agreed with this point of view.

"Well, that seems to be the case. Manager Ning, you are really amazing. You are afraid that we will not agree with you opening a branch, so you always take the opportunity to analyze the interests for us. I finally understand that the conflict of interests between domestic and foreign employees can only be resolved by opening branches, and the overseas inspection quotas for our investment units also depend on opening branches. In this case, let's do as you say, and I, Old Li, agree with you."

But he was not stupid, so he listened carefully and asked, "Hey, besides this measure, Manager Ning, do you have any other ideas? Just now you seemed to have said that this is only a solution between the internal employees of the Palace and the employees going abroad, which is relatively simple. The relatively complicated one must be to resolve the conflict of interests between the Palace and the investors..."

"Yes, Director Li is right. It is not easy to resolve the conflict of interests between the Altar Palace and the investors." Ning Weimin was very happy to have Director Li as his supporting actor. "I think that even if there are quotas for overseas inspections that can be rotated, it may not be enough to balance the relationship between the parties. Because compared with the direct profits of these employees going abroad, just going abroad for a few days is still a disadvantage for the leaders of our investment units. Then we have to think of other ways until a balance is reached."

“How can we achieve this balance?”

An official from the Temple of Heaven Park couldn't resist his curiosity and interrupted to ask.

"Give me money!"

Ning Weimin just uttered two simple words, but the effect was amazing.

Now the scope of "you look at me, I look at you" has expanded to the entire inspection team, and almost everyone is getting nervous.

"What? Manager Ning means... to give money directly? Like the way we treat those people from the Altar Palace who go abroad? Do we get a share too?"

Some people suspect that there is something wrong with their ears and need to confirm it in person.

Ning Weimin responded without hesitation, "Yes, we will reward people based on their merits and distribute according to their work. The hard work of the people going abroad needs to be rewarded with bonuses, and the same is true for the various supports from the investment units. The success of the Altar Palace is inseparable from everyone's contribution. Since everyone has worked hard and made money, why should only the front-line personnel get the money? Of course everyone should get a share. For our investors, although it is impossible to cover everyone, at least the cadres with positions should get a share, because these people play the biggest role. Otherwise, what's the point of making money? This is my opinion."

"But, it's true in theory, but there is no such system. The higher authorities will never approve such a thing. This is called misappropriation of collective property and abuse of power for personal gain. And it's too eye-catching, right? Even if the district government doesn't ask, the people will not agree." Someone raised the most realistic difficulty.

However, Ning Weimin had his own considerations on this question since he first decided to do so, and he was not stumped by the question.

"If the main road doesn't work, we can take a detour. It doesn't necessarily violate the system. Please don't forget that the bonuses for the employees of the Tan Palace come purely from my personal commission. Just like what we agreed on in the contract, I should get 5% commission, which is 22.5 million yen. The ownership of this money belongs to me personally. In the final analysis, I give this money as a bonus, which should be regarded as my personal gift. Didn't the catering and retail industries in our capital city start the contract system a long time ago? This does not violate the policy."

Ning Weimin's words were so powerful that they seemed to strike a bell in everyone's heart, and finally made everyone clearly pay attention to a crucial point - he used his own commission to pay bonuses to employees.

Needless to say, this is fundamentally different from using public funds to give bonuses to everyone.

Although the amount of commission is huge, it far exceeds everyone's cognition.

To be honest, whether Ning Weimin should have taken so much commission would have made the grassroots cadres of several investment units jealous and caused a lot of trouble when the time came to divide the money.

But now, this money, which legally belongs to Ning Weimin as personal wealth, was taken by him without permission and given to the employees of the Altar Palace. It has become the most likely outlet for solving real problems.

Who could have imagined this?

Things in this world are so magical.

So the members of the expedition team, who had been able to remain calm, seemed to have suddenly discovered a new world.

They couldn't help but start talking about it.

However, that’s not all, Ning Weimin hasn’t finished speaking yet.

Not caring about the already chaotic scene, he actually poured more fuel on the already burning fire.

"There is another thing I can tell you. This year I got more than 20 million yen in commissions, and this is only based on the operating income for eight months. Since the operation of Ginza Dangu is gradually getting on the right track, even if we don't open a branch this year, I am confident that the profit of the Tokyo branch can double. In other words, this year, according to the contract, I should get at least 40 to 50 million yen in commissions. To be honest, when we signed this agreement, none of us would have thought that Dangu Restaurant would make so much money by opening a branch in Tokyo. Even I didn't expect to make such a big profit. So this amount of money is a bit scary at the moment. Thinking of everyone's support and help to me, I feel a little embarrassed to put it all in my pocket. It happens to be now. Faced with this difficult problem, why not just take it out and divide it among everyone? Generally speaking, it will be half on each side. The hard-working employees of Tan Palace in Tokyo will get money, and the investment unit will not suffer any loss. As for me personally, it is actually nothing. As long as everyone agrees, we can do it. It does not violate the system, and it fulfills the commercial contract agreement, and it is also conducive to everyone's unity. Isn't it a win-win situation? If one day in the future, the scale of the system is enlarged and is enough to solve the problems we are facing now, then we can discuss what to do again. What I mean is that we should do our best to ensure the development and expansion of Tan Palace. As for other things, as long as everyone has a tacit understanding and can maintain unity, it will be enough for the time being. Time is also a way to solve problems. "

I heard that Ning Weimin was willing to sacrifice himself for others, and that he was giving up such a huge amount of money.

The big guy couldn't control his emotions any longer, and with a "buzz", he exploded.

"Manager Ning, can you really guarantee that we will achieve such a high profit this year?"

"Manager Ning, are you really willing to share the commission with everyone when the time comes?"

"Manager Ning, this is all your money, don't you feel bad at all?"

"Manager Ning, I support you! Your suggestion is really admirable..."
