Yanzi Valley of Jingcheng

Chapter 239 Encountering Him Again

For Xiao Qianxing's joining Guansha Company, Xiao Jie didn't quite agree. He hoped that his mother would be more comfortable after retirement. She could go sightseeing, play in the water, enjoy flowers and birds, as long as she lived a happy life in her old age.

It's just that Xiao Jie knew that he couldn't hold back his mother at all, so he could only keep silent.

In this way, thanks to the joining of Xiao Qianxing, Guan Zhenzhen, Shen Li and Lei Biao, Guan Sha's busy life finally got a little respite.

Apart from the ones under renovation, only a few houses in Yanzigu Apartment have not been rented out. Guan Sha calculated that the occupancy rate is still above 95%. That's right, it's just that it's time-consuming and labor-intensive to select. It needs human eyes to find it, and it needs to be evaluated after finding it.

Walking in the noisy alleys of Yanzi Valley, Guan Sha ordered herself a 12 yuan fast food, 3 yuan for rice, 4 yuan for scrambled eggs with tomato, 3 yuan for fried eggplant, and 2 yuan for green vegetables. Of course, Guan Sha did not forget to pack it. Seaweed egg drop soup, because it is free.

She walked into the new-style community with a takeaway bag, and met sister Tian Meihua and two old men on the way.

One of these two old men dismantled the air conditioner in Guansha’s house in violation of regulations, and the other helped Guansha install the air conditioner back. One was named Lei and the other was named Tian. They are now the owners of Guansha’s Yanzigu apartment.

"Uncle Lei, Uncle Tian, ​​Sister Tian!" Guan Sha greeted politely.

"Are you back? I marinated a pot of duck wings! I know you like it! Come to my house for dinner tonight!" Sister Tian said enthusiastically to Guan Sha.

When Guan Sha heard "Duck Wings", her whole body lit up instantly, "Okay, okay! See you tonight!"

After bidding farewell to Sister Tian and the others, Guan Sha went straight to the shop she rented. The shop was on the first floor of a residential building. The shop was small and simple. Guan Sha regarded it as the only office of Yanzigu Apartment in Qingyang.

Guan Sha sat down and began to eat lunch. There was a lot of tomato and egg oil, and the eggplant seemed too salty, but Guan Sha didn't think it was unacceptable. The excessive amount of oil and salt was just to let the fast food sellers eat more and drink more. Order soup, and if you have enough rice and soup, you will naturally feel full. After all, it only costs 12 yuan, and Guan Sha doesn't complain. Shen Li told her that the boxed lunch on the construction site is more oily and salty than the one in Yanzi Valley.

Guan Sha took out a piece of paper, and wrote down the number "70" on the paper while eating. This is the number of houses currently managed by each housekeeper of Yanzigu Apartment.

Since the butler's work is basically online at any time before 12 midnight, the number of 1:70 is already overloaded for the current butler.

"Other companies work in two shifts, and we have to be responsible for the whole day..." The recruited housekeeper complained to Guan Sha, and Guan Sha could only quickly promise to recruit people as soon as possible.

But the promise is the promise, Guan Sha can't just recruit without screening at all, she still hopes to recruit experienced people, and she is also sure that many housekeepers have lost their jobs due to the downfall of long-term rental apartments, and the work is not good at this time Look, these employees will definitely not be able to escape in the short term.

Guan Sha's recruitment revelations were not only posted on the Internet, but also posted at the door of her shop. She has received a lot of resumes these days, but the job seekers have a relatively short working life, only half a year to a year, and some are completely Without any work experience, Guan Sha will have a big head after reading it.

Just as she was thinking about whether to choose the "tall" from among the "short ones" or wait a little longer, someone knocked twice on the glass door of the store.

Guan Sha was startled, she looked up and saw a man in his thirties standing outside the door, wearing a white shirt, smiling at her.

Guan Sha recognized the man at a glance... The man was none other than Shang Nuo, the former housekeeper of Guan Sha's Room 3428, who was later promoted to business supervisor by Dandan Apartment.

At that time, the Dandan apartment was about to collapse, hundreds of people surrounded the Dandan office building, and the only one who faced all the doubts was this man named Shang Nuo. Guan Sha was deeply impressed by him at the time.

"In this situation, no other employees have come. Why do you dare to come? You are just a part-time worker, right? Are you confident in the company?" Shen Li asked Shang Nuo.

Shang Nuo's answer to this was: "If I wasn't here, wouldn't you guys panic even more? I can at least tell you about the company's current situation here, and try to help you solve problems..."

In addition, Guan Sha still remembers Shang Nuo saying: "As a manager, it is my duty to stand here. Since it is my duty, I must do things well..."

Although Shang Nuo is an adult male with a height of 1.8 meters, under the pressure of the huge crowd at that time, his figure seemed so small, but the words that came out of his mouth were firm and powerful, and this power smoothed the tension of the people present. The uneasy heart of most people.

Guan Sha believes that the downfall of Dandan is definitely not the responsibility of Shang Nuo, a beating worker, but he was the only one who stayed at the critical moment, even though he might be a pawn, even though he could not influence Dandan's future with his own strength. The ending, but Guan Sha just thinks that Shang Nuo is a trustworthy person.

An employee entrepreneur like Shang Nuo couldn't find a job, so seeing that the person standing outside the door was Shang Nuo, Guan Sha was overjoyed and ran out.

"Did you come here after seeing my recruitment?" Guan Sha asked as soon as they met.

Shang Nuo looked at the recruitment notice posted on the glass, and then said after a pause, "Yes, I was passing by. I didn't expect Miss Guan to open a long-term rental apartment."

"Come in, come in!" Guan Sha immediately pulled out the chair and beckoned Shang Nuo to sit.

Shang Nuo was generous, and before Guan Sha could speak, he asked, "How many listings do you have in Yanzigu Apartment?"

After hearing the words, Guan Sha told Shang Nuo about the company's situation without hesitation, and the two also had an in-depth discussion on the development of long-term rental apartments.

Shang Nuo said: "Without capital promotion, the profit margin of this industry is very small. Last year, the competition was too fierce, so Dandan couldn't survive. Before everyone talked about long-term rental apartments, the first step was to occupy the market. The profit is not high. Profit comes second. For the company’s first and second rounds of financing, if you want to find venture capital, people have to look at the market share. Without market share, you can’t tell a story with capital.”

"Yes." Guan Sha agreed deeply, "Those leading companies went public a year ago, and they were very prosperous, but now they are nothing. I have also read their financial reports. They lose billions of dollars every year, and they can lose ten billion in a quarter. Hundreds of millions, but investors are not easy to be deceived, and the stock price has also reflected it, and it has fallen by nearly [-]% within a year."

"This business is really difficult to do, so I admire you very much." Shang Nuo said, "When there is no vicious competition, that is, when I first joined Dandan, the company's house acquisition cost is generally 70%, and the decoration cost is 15%. , the operating cost is 10%, and the tax cost is 5%. The same is true for other companies. There is basically no room for profit. You are actually enough now with 200 sets. many."

Guan Sha also heard from Ren Tianxing about this point of view. The technical term is "diseconomies of scale", that is, the larger the company is, the less it earns. Guan Sha herself feels that this problem cannot be avoided. The profit of the house is not much, and six housekeepers are specially hired to work in two shifts. The salary of each housekeeper is 9 yuan, which is nearly 54 yuan a year. This is only the housekeeper’s expenses.

The current operating cost of Guansha Company has not yet accounted for 10% of the total revenue, but this is only now. What if the scale is larger?Will there be a situation where employee wages increase far more than profits?

Is there any way to reduce the 10% magic ratio of operating costs?
Guan Sha was lost in thought.
