Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 304 Company Planning
The first place Yan Jiekuang went to was Chunfeng Building, which was now managed by Yang Lifen. After being trained by Yan Jiekuang and Wang Qing, Yang Lifen had become independent. When he arrived at Chunfeng Building, in his office, Yan Jiekuang looked at the business situation of Chunfeng Building, which was still as popular as before and gradually moving towards a high-end route.

Yan Jiekuang found Yang Lifen and had a talk with her. One purpose was to understand the situation of the employees, and the other was to rearrange the development plan of the restaurant.

Yan Jiekuang said to Yang Lifen, "I want you to be the catering director of these two restaurants, Wang Yue to be the manager of Chaofengzhai, and Qi Li to be the manager of this store. What do you think?"

Yang Lifen actually thought that she would be promoted, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. She thought it would happen after the accounts were closed this year.

Yang Lifen said, "I don't have any objections, but I have a small problem. In fact, Zhao Yuan and Qi Li are both very mature now, and they are equally matched at work. I'm afraid Zhao Yuan might feel uncomfortable when Qi Li is suddenly mentioned."

Yan Jiekuang laughed and said, "What do I think? I have another job for Zhao Yuan. I have a three-story shop in Xizhimen. There is also a small courtyard at the back. The interior has been renovated. I plan to open another store. Zhao Yuan will be the pioneer of this store. If she does well, she will be the manager of that store. In the future, they will all be your subordinates. I leave this matter to you. The address and key are with Xiaobao."

Yang Lifen was very happy. Now, she was the director of three stores. She immediately said, "Don't worry, Boss. In the city, we are the best in the catering industry. No one dares to say we are second. I promise to run it beautifully."

Just as Yang Lifen was about to get up, Yan Jiekuang said, "There is one more thing. You should be mentally prepared. I am transferring Yang Liwei and his two stupid disciples. I will let Wei Xiaobao take his place."

Yang Lifen felt that this would not have much impact on the restaurant, so she nodded and said she understood, but she asked, "What about the chefs in the new restaurant?"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and said, "The new restaurant will serve Sichuan cuisine. I will find you a chef, Fang Yuan, the eldest apprentice of the famous chef Yu Zhenqing."

Fang Yuan's name is well-known in the catering industry. Yang Lifen didn't expect the boss to be so powerful. She felt relieved, said hello and went out, and then called Yang Liwei to the office.

Yang Liwei still listened to his master very much. When he heard that he was asked to go to Shenzhen to be the catering director and deputy general manager of the shopping mall, he immediately nodded and agreed. Yan Jiekuang jokingly said, "Why don't you go back and report to your mother first?"

Yang Liwei shook his head and said, "My mother said that if I don't listen to you, Master, you will break my legs."

Yan Jiekuang laughed and said, "Okay, you're not leaving so soon. When I leave, you should come with me."

Yang Liwei finally felt relieved and went out happily.

Yan Jiekuang drank some tea and then drove to Chaofengzhai, where he did the same accounting check. After the conversation, Wei Xiaobao knew that he had to stand on his own. In the past, he had two senior brothers watching over him, so he didn’t have any worries. But this time it was different, he had to be independent.

Yan Jiekuang patted Wei Xiaobao on the shoulder and said, "People always have to grow up. You have to be independent in order to keep up with your master, understand?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded heavily, Yin Liguo was laughing beside him, and Yan Jiekuang said to him unhappily: "Learn more about management and teach your apprentices attentively, otherwise your senior brother will become the general manager of the shopping mall, and you will still be a chef."

Yin Liguo felt the pressure coming at him and his face changed instantly.

After Yan Jiekuang arranged all the personnel that could be temporarily mobilized, he contacted Wang Qing and asked him to provide logistical support for these people. He also told Wang Qing that from mid-November to before the Spring Festival, he would go there to conduct a training for middle-level and above cadres, and at that time, he would arrange the venue and logistics work.

In mid-October, Ji Lian's due date was getting closer and closer, so Yan Jiekuang took her directly to Union Hospital to stay there, just in case. Yang Ruiping and he were accompanying her. Yan Jiekuang was now busy taking care of Ji Lian.

In addition to delivering meals, Tian Guixiang takes care of the children at home, and Sun Daming is responsible for the old man's daily life.

On October 20, Ji Lian was sent to the delivery room with her screams of pain. Although she had experienced this once before, Yan Jiekuang was still very nervous. Yang Ruiping kept looking at the red light at the door of the delivery room. After more than two hours, two babies cried in the delivery room. Yang Ruiping was stunned and said, "Double sticks again?"

The red light went out, and two nurses came out holding two babies. They saw Yan Jiekuang at the door and said, "Are you the father of the children?" Yan Jiekuang quickly responded and rushed forward.

The nurse said, "Wait a minute. Congratulations, they are twins. The first one is a brother and the second one is a sister. I'll let you take a look first. We still have to clean up. We'll go to the nursery to see them later. By the way, your wife is fine and will be out soon."

Yang Ruiping and her son's smiles never faded as they looked at the two babies.

Soon, the baby was taken away. After waiting for a while, Ji Lian was pushed out. She was still conscious. Yan Jiekuang went up to her and held her hand, saying, "Wife, you have worked hard. Thank you."

Ji Lian felt weak all over and smiled at Yan Jiekuang. The mother and the child followed Ji Lian back to the ward. Twenty-four hours later, the baby was sent over. Yang Ruiping hugged one and then the other and said, "Third brother, you are amazing. You have four children from two pregnancies. Your family is prosperous."

After hearing what his mother said, Yan Jiekuang's mind flashed with the image of Pian'erye. He turned around and told Yang Ruiping about Pian'erye's return to Sijiu City. Yang Ruiping asked, "Is that the man who looks exactly like your father? Take me to see him one day. Why don't I believe it?"

Ji Lian stayed in the hospital for another three days, and the family was taken back home by Yan Jiekuang. This was mainly due to Ji Lian's strong request, as she really couldn't stand the smell of disinfectant.

When they got home, the children had all gone to school. Tian Guixiang carried the things she had brought back from the hospital. Yang Ruiping held one, Ji Lian held another. Yan Jiekuang supported Ji Lian and they went straight to their bedroom. Ji Lian began her confinement period. When Grandpa Ji saw the two babies, he said, "I have chosen their names, and no one is allowed to take them away."

Yan Jiekuang burst out laughing. He was so happy that he didn't have to name the child, so he readily agreed. Old Master Ji sat in a wheelchair holding the youngest child, grinning from ear to ear. Sun Daming stood at the door. He wanted to see but didn't dare to come in. Yan Jiekuang shouted, "Brother Sun, why are you being so polite to me? Come in and see. Why are you so reserved after staying here for so long?"

Sun Daming said: "No, I didn't. I'm a big shot and I'm afraid of hurting the child."

Yan Jiekuang put the third brother in his arms, and Sun Daming was like being frozen in place, not daring to move. He just held the third brother in his arms with a smile on his face.

Everyone knew that Sun Daming was an honest and simple man, and everyone burst into laughter at once.

After school, the children heard that their younger siblings had filled two of their diapers at once, and the study room in the middle courtyard went into a commotion. They threw their schoolbags and rushed to the backyard, scaring Yang Ruiping, who had come out to throw away his diaper. He quickly shouted, "Stop, stop. Your younger siblings are still young and have just fallen asleep. You can go and see them, but keep your voice down."

The children finally shut up, and Shi Li still covered her mouth with her hand. The four of them tiptoed to the east bedroom.

When Ji Lian saw the looks of the four children, she burst out laughing and waved her hand. The four children immediately gathered around the bed and looked at the two little people sleeping on the bed. No one spoke. Only Shi Li was brave enough to touch the little sister with her hand. After looking for a while, they tiptoed out again, which made Ji Lian laugh.

The four children returned to the study room in the middle courtyard and began to chatter about the assignment of work to the two younger brothers and sisters. Shi Li proudly said, "The younger sister must be mine, because I am also a girl."

When Yan Jiekuang heard this, he burst into laughter and ignored them and went to prepare postpartum meals for Ji Lian.

With the addition of a new baby, the family was filled with joy. At the end of October, Yan Jiekuang arranged for Wang Xuan, his cousin named Xie Wen, and his wife, Huaihua, to go to Shenzhen together. He also called Wang Qing and told him to arrange their lives and not to rush to work, as everything could be decided after he arrived.

The days passed in companionship. When Yan Jiekuang was not busy, he was writing document materials such as the company's management system, process management and job responsibilities. When Ji Lian found out, she asked him to leave a copy at home so that she could read it after she finished her confinement.

The children now have a new habit. They must take a look at their younger siblings before going to school. After school, they must put down their schoolbags and go to see their younger siblings first.

Yang Ruiping went back to the courtyard in the middle of the trip. Yan Jiekuang guessed that his mother was worried about Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng, but she didn't say anything. However, the next day, Shi Xiaoya came with her children and some gifts, saying that it was the second brother's idea. Yan Jiekuang knew that his second brother still couldn't let go of his face.

In the days that followed, Shi Xiaoya came to help from time to time. When Ji Lian finished her confinement, Yan Jiekuang told Ji Lian that he had to go back to Shenzhen as he had a lot of things to deal with there and would not be back until before the Spring Festival. Ji Lian told him to go without worry and that his family didn't need to worry.

At the end of November, Yan Jiekuang set out again and headed straight for Shenzhen. This time, he would set up the company's framework, rent out office buildings, and attract investment in shopping malls.

After arriving in Shenzhen, Yan Jiekuang called Lou Xiaoe and asked her to come to Shenzhen. Ruier took Yan Jiekuang to visit the conference center, which was converted from an auditorium and served as the company's temporary office. There was a large auditorium inside.

The next day, Lou Xiao'e came. Yan Jiekuang held a small meeting with Lou Xiao'e, Rui Er and Wang Qing. These people knew the project best, so they had to reach a unified understanding first.

Yan Jiekuang first explained his arrangements for the three people. Since Lou Xiao'e had shares in this company, Lou Xiao'e was now the executive director of the entire company. When Yan Jiekuang was not around, she would be the person with the highest authority. However, Lou Xiao'e was still the general manager of the project invested by Lou's Group in Shenzhen, and she basically spent very little time here.

Ruier is the president because this is a company registered in the United States, but Yan Jiekuang asked Ruier to change its place of registration as soon as possible, with the Cayman Islands as the first choice, and asked Ruier to form a team of five people, mainly accountants and auditors, and Ruier would be enough as a professional manager.

Wang Qing is the general manager of the company in the mainland. He is responsible for overall management of investment projects in Shenzhen, building relationships with all parties, and forming a rental and sales team.

The next thing is the development of the project and the establishment of the company. The office building of the project is only rented and not sold, and the fifth floor of the podium is a self-operated shopping mall. Of course, most of it is also rented out for investment. The underground floor is a supermarket. Yan Jiekuang has already written the details in the shopping mall plan. The first floor only recruits international brand stores, the second floor is jewelry, watches and electrical appliances, the third and fourth floors are clothing malls, but they are also mainly rented out, and the fifth floor is a food city, which is also mainly rented out.

The rest is the establishment of the company. The company is divided into four parts. The first part is the Finance Department, which is mainly responsible for the financial management, personnel, logistics, etc. of the mall. The second part is the Sales Department, which is now represented by Wang Qing. He will organize the establishment of personnel as soon as possible, the preparation of sales plans, and planning of advertisements. The third part is the Property Department. Two candidates have been selected for this part, one is Wang Xuan and the other is Yang Liwei. Wang Xuan is mainly responsible for the office building, and Yang Liwei is mainly responsible for the mall.

What remains is the real estate development company, which is still led by Yan Jiekuang, Lou Xiaoe, Wang Qing and Ruier, but when setting up a construction company, Wang Xuan will be put in the list first, Lao Liu will be the deputy general manager, and his son Xiao Liu will be the decoration manager.

After Yan Jiekuang finished his presentation, Lou Xiao'e gave a thumbs up to Yan Jiekuang's arrangement, and Ruier also admired Yan Jiekuang very much.

Yan Jiekuang said: "I can't teach everyone step by step, so this time, we will intensively train for two months, and the rest will depend on these people to carry forward the spirit of mentoring. Come, cheers to our future."

The four of them raised their glasses of red wine and shouted "Cheers" together.

In the next two months, Yan Jiekuang was either attending training classes or on his way to training classes. In those two months, everyone made rapid progress. After all, most of them were college graduates, the elites among the elites. In just two months, the company was on the right track and everyone was able to stand on their own.

After Yan Jiekuang announced the holiday, he distributed a certain amount of bonuses. Because it was the start-up phase, the bonuses were not much, only three to five thousand for the middle level and above, and two months' salary for the employees below. Afterwards, Yan Jiekuang led the people who had left Sijiucheng back to Sijiucheng to celebrate the holiday.
