The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 346 Rent
Hotel, Old Tan's room.

As soon as he took the medicine prescribed by Beijing Old Chinese Medicine, the phone rang. It was Zhang Li.

Zhang Li said on the phone that Zhang Xiangdong's "New Year's Day" has been in operation for a full month, and the salary was paid the day before yesterday. Yesterday, five store managers, six chefs, eight supervisors, and more than [-] employees resigned and were ready to return to work.

To be honest, Zhang Xiangdong thought of someone resigning, but he didn't expect so many people.

He and his wife Qin Lili made preparations in advance, so those who resigned were approved and their wages were settled.

According to Lao Tan's instructions, Zhang Li received all the people who came back and arranged them in various stores.

"Supervisors and employees are easy to arrange, mainly store managers and chefs, and they don't need that much at once." Zhang Li said.

"It's okay, we can arrange it." Old Tan said: "Changsha needs a set of people, Suzhou has opened two stores and needs two sets, and the Central Kitchen store in Beijing needs one set. There is nothing left."

"It's all out of town, some people like to go and some don't." Zhang Li said.

"It's okay, you call Zhongqing to arrange it, and he has a plan. By the way, he is in Beijing now, right?" Old Tan asked.

"Well, in Beijing." Zhang Li said.

Old Tan thought for a while and said, "This is the case, you and Zhou Xiaomei meet and see what she thinks."

"She is now in Hohhot. We talked on the phone, and she is not sure, so I asked you." Zhang Li said.

"Oh—do as I say." Old Tan said.

This result is what he expected. Most of the employees have feelings for Aqiao and will definitely come back.I have to make arrangements when I come back. Although there is some pressure on wages, they are all old employees and skilled workers, so they are prepared for any danger.

After talking on the phone with Zhang Li, Lao Tan and Zhang Li immediately called Zhongqing and asked about the renovation of the Beijing Central Kitchen store.After learning that the kitchen has started construction, he asked Zhongqing to go back to the provincial capital to arrange for the assignment of the chef.

"Go back and talk to Xiaohui and Xiaolong. This time we will open a shop in Changsha, Xiaohui's hometown. Do they want to come?" Old Tan said.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to them." Zhongqing said again: "Boss, this guy Zhang Xiangdong is not authentic, he heard that he wants to expand his business, as long as there is a Qiao Dumpling restaurant, it will open on the first day of the new year, so he will fight with us. "

"Really?" Lao Tan asked, and then said: "Good thing, I hope he will do this, there will be competition to be motivated, it's better to make it like KFC and McDonald's, and monopolize the market."

"He started to build a central kitchen." Zhongqing said.

"Okay, the boy has a stomach and is a manager." Old Tan said.

"Prepare to poach people from our family."

"You can't dig him away." Old Tan said confidently, "Don't worry, if you can train him to be an opponent, there is a way to defeat him. I guess you know this better than I do.

Let him let go of the horse and run for two years, so we can have a comparison. Aqiao's background in these years is not what he said and done.If it's a healthy competition, we'll win with him. If it's a vicious one, ignore it, it's a dead end. "

Restaurants are not afraid of getting together, the more they get together, the better.But you can’t engage in price wars or malicious marketing, as this will only harm you.

Shopping malls are like battlefields and non-battlefields, and honesty wins the world at any time.

In the morning of the next day, Han Jun called Aunt Du, who was the hostess, and her daughter had come.

This is a beautiful girl, tall and tall, with a decent professional attire and at the same time more attractive.

"Hi Manager Han, my name is Bai Jiaqi, my mother said you need two houses for staff dormitories?" Bai Jiaqi asked politely.

"Yes." Han Jun replied with a smile.

Bai Jiaqi's beauty is indeed amazing, but it seems to have no effect on Han Jun.Not surprisingly, after working in a restaurant for a long time, all kinds of beauties can be seen, and they are immune.

"There is an apartment near here, [-] square meters. I used to hold a vocal music training class. The neighbors thought it was noisy and changed the place. I'm free now. I'll take you to see it." Bai Jiaqi said.

"Oh, let me ask first, how much is the rent?" Han Jun asked.

"Eighty thousand."

"It's expensive?"

Han Jun plans to rent a house for [-] yuan. At this price, he can rent two pretty good houses in the provincial capital, and the area is large enough.

"I'll show you the house first, and if you like it, we can talk about the rent. If you don't like it, I'll find it for you." Bai Jiaqi said.

The apartment building is behind the Changsha Building, a bit quiet and old-fashioned.The house is on the eleventh floor, the top floor, with a single door, a corridor in the middle, and three rooms on each side.Each room has its own bathroom, and a water heater can be installed to take a shower. This is what Han Jun cares most about.

There are three essential things in the current employee dormitory: water heater, washing machine, and WLAN.

When employees are tired all day, taking a hot bath after get off work is the most comfortable.It is convenient to have a washing machine to wash clothes. Now none of these children use a washboard, and neither do adults.

The most important thing is to have a network. No network means isolation from the world.

Han Jun fell in love with him at a glance.Alone on the floor, where can I find it?The rooms are adequate, all independent, three for each male and female, just right.

Just the rent--
"Manager Han, how do you feel?" Bai Jiaqi saw that Han Jun's heart was moving, and asked.

"Well—very good." Han Jun nodded.

"I think it is suitable for you to use as a dormitory. It is hard to find such a house in the whole district." Bai Jiaqi said.

"It's just that the rent is a bit expensive." Han Jun said truthfully.

"You get what you pay for. It's cheaper to rent the two separately, but it's not as convenient, and it takes a lot of effort to manage. This is the top floor, a separate floor, and your restaurant is always late after get off work. It hardly disturbs the residents, does it?" Bai Jiaqi said. .

"That's true--"

"Then why hesitate, [-] is not much."

"Can you lower it a bit?"

"No."

Seeing Bai Jiaqi's firm attitude, Han Jun wanted to bypass her and talk to the landlord, so he asked, "Can I talk to the landlord?"

"I'm the owner of the house." Bai Jiaqi said very calmly, with a slight hint of complacency on her face.

"Are you the owner?" Han Jun asked in disbelief.

Bai Jiaqi didn't speak, but opened the bag and took out a red leather housing certificate, and asked Han Jun to see it.Han Jun saw that it was true, but the name on it was Bai Jiaqi's mother, Aunt Du.

"Did you reply this time?" Bai Jiaqi took back the house certificate and asked.

Han Jun scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said: "Do you think this is okay? I rented the house for [-] yuan. I will give you [-] yuan in cash and [-] yuan in VIP cards. You and Aunt Du and Uncle Bai have a lot of entertainment. I always eat out, although my house is a dumpling restaurant, which is not comparable to a big restaurant, but it definitely has its own characteristics, so you are satisfied, how about it?"

Bai Jiaqi smiled like a flower in full bloom.Looking at Han Jun with big talking eyes, he said, "You are good at marketing, tell me, what's the discount for the VIP card?"

"[-]% discount on dishes, except drinks."

"That's all?"

"Priority is given to private rooms. I, including family members, get big gifts on my birthday, and birthday banquets are free. There are luxurious gift packages on May [-]st, [-]th, Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Day, and Spring Festival.

My family’s VIP card is not easy to issue, each store has ten places, you are the NO.1 in the entire Changsha District”

"It's worth considering." Bai Jiaqi said.

"You mean you agree?" Han Jun asked.

Bai Jiaqi said: "It's already noon, I ate a bun in the morning, and I came to you before I had time to drink the porridge——"

"Look at you, I didn't say it earlier, I didn't eat anything in the morning. Go, please." Han Jun said immediately.
