National Tide 1980

The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people.

This was not said by Ning Weimin, but by Mencius. From this we can see the importance of "harmony".

In Mencius' view, the right time and location are the core of strategic layout, while harmony is the key to success.

If the goals of people and people are not achieved, it will be difficult to get things done.

The outcome of a war is like this, and the rise and fall of a country is like this.

If this is placed in modern society, the success or failure of an enterprise and the survival of a company will be even more so.

Therefore, because he understood this truth, Ning Weimin did not dare to treat internal employees or external guests in any perfunctory or hasty manner.

In order for Tan Palace to move towards glory smoothly, he had to be cautious and take it seriously.

It can be said that I tried my best to appease everyone's hearts and win over everyone.

Ning Weimin himself had climbed up from the bottom, so he certainly knew what people who sell work needed.

One is that the mood is smooth, and the other is that one can gain benefits.

So he has to start from these two aspects now.

How to keep your subordinates happy?

As the saying goes, a person's heart is worth a pound of gold.

Of course, it is based on emotion, and the best way is to play the emotional card.

And don’t forget where this is, this is a foreign country, Tokyo, Japan.

These people were willing to follow Ning Weimin with their suitcases, which in itself proved a kind of trust.

The hopes and demands placed on him were nothing more than living up to them.

So regardless of emotions or reasons, Ning Weimin has to establish a personality that makes his subordinates feel that he is trustworthy.

The specific method is that except when encountering any problems at work, he should not panic, but should stay calm when encountering major events.

He also has to pay attention to the needs of all aspects of employees' lives at all times.

Not only should we not treat employees poorly when it comes to food and accommodation, we should even think of problems that employees have not thought of or discovered in advance.

In a word, Ning Weimin must care for these subordinates as if they were his own family.

This is not only true for the regular employees of Tan Gong Restaurant, but also for non-staff personnel.

The two musicians, the noodle master, Xiao Cui, Zhang Qiang and his daughter, are still like this, showing their character.

As for the benefits, first of all, although working in the catering industry is tiring and hard work and is called hard work, there are also some special employee benefits.

This time he came to Tokyo to open a store. In order to maintain the quality of the dishes, Ning Weimin selected raw materials almost every day and led the chefs to test dishes.

The things they choose are all good materials, and some are even extremely precious ingredients.

Even before the restaurant opened, it cost several million yen to try out the dishes, equivalent to a Japanese company's annual salary.

Of course, the things they made couldn't be wasted, so they became employee meals.

It can be said that in the long days before the opening, these people who followed Ning Weimin from China spent every day eating and drinking.

So not long after, everyone gained several pounds.

Zhang Qiang's mother said bluntly, "Oh, there are so many delicious foods here. But the problem is, after we leave here, what will we do when we return to China? It's no longer good to cook by ourselves. This is bad... "

His words made everyone laugh.

In fact, it wasn’t just the people from China who enjoyed the meal.

Soon, even the Japanese employees and dormitory administrators hired by Ning Weimin also benefited.

Those Japanese talents were really satisfied with their food and their stomachs were full after eating. They all sincerely admired the skills of the Chinese chefs!

They suddenly discovered that all the Chinese food they had eaten was fake Chinese food, and the sequelae became more obvious.

Suddenly I felt that the local "Chinese cuisine" in Tokyo was no longer good.

If they could eat like this every day, they might become addicted. Even if Ning Weimin didn't pay them a salary, they would be happy to do it.

But don’t say it, eating like this is really not free.

It is one thing for employees to be happy and have increased cohesion, but there are also actual gains.

Japanese employees have never seen such a generous boss.

They all admire Ning Weimin and are willing to take the initiative to share his worries. They treat their work seriously and meticulously.

Almost all chefs are focused on thinking about how to maintain the traditional nature of palace cuisine while making good use of local ingredients to make Chinese food recognized and loved by Japanese people.

So once the chefs become familiar with the properties of Japanese specialties and Japanese eating habits.

They successfully researched and invented several unique new dishes.

For example, there are many high-quality marine fish in Japan, and I love ramen.

Brothers Jiang Dachun and Xiao Cha, who are good at making river fresh food, learned and used it flexibly and figured out a way to make fish noodles with sea fish.

They use yellow croaker or horsetail fish as the main ingredients. Remove the thorny skin of the fresh fish, chop the meat until it is like a paste, add a certain proportion of starch and salt and knead it into a dough, divide the dough into balls, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large and thin pancake the size of a cattail fan, and then roll it into a roll.

Put the steamer in a steamer and steam it for 20 to 30 minutes, then spread it out. After cooling, cut it into thin pancakes with a knife and dry it in the sun.

It is then processed into slices, cooked and ready for consumption.

Since this kind of noodles is made of flour mixed with fish, the umami flavor is not in the soup, but in the noodles.

So fried, fried, fried, stewed, served cold, no matter how you cook it, it will be delicious.

Less oily, not greasy, quite refreshing, low cost, but without losing the umami flavor, that’s pretty wow!

Even if you make soup noodles, you don’t have to use thick dashi to match it like Japanese ramen.

So much so that this kind of noodles can confuse several Japanese waiters hired by Tan Palace.

They clearly saw that the soup in their bowls was watery, but the noodles tasted great.

Even with their brains, they couldn't figure out where the rich umami flavor came from.

Chef Liu of Vegetarian Liu gave the most accurate evaluation.

The old man said that this kind of fish noodles has a delicious taste. Although it is fish, it does not taste like fish, so it is really unique.

Like the two of them, Xu Chunyan, who is good at making noodles, discovered that the Japanese are particularly obsessed with pot stickers.

She didn't seem to be too "cold" about dumplings, so she improved the traditional dumplings in taste and image.

The first is to make good use of seafood, and secondly, what kind of stuffing should be used and what shape.

The fish meat dumplings are made into fish shapes, the crab meat dumplings are made into crabs, the shrimp dumplings are made into prawns, the sea urchin dumplings are made into sea urchins, the scallops are made into scallops, and the sea cucumber dumplings are made into sea cucumbers. It is a bit like Xiande's long dumpling feast.

Dumplings in various forms are both beautiful and cute, and the ingredients can be distinguished clearly.

Not to mention that the Japanese, who are two-dimensional creatures, liked it after seeing it, even the domestic chefs were full of praise.

Xu Chunyan even learned and applied it, imitating Jiang Dachun and Xiao Cha's method of making fish noodles, and made fish noodle dumpling wrappers, which further enhanced the taste of seafood dumplings.

So even Jiang Dachun couldn't help but give thumbs up, saying that Xu Chunyan invented the "shrimp, soldier, crab, and seafood dumplings", which can be regarded as carrying forward the traditional dumplings.

In short, if you don't mention anything else, just the fish noodles and dumplings, the money Ning Weimin spent on tasting the dishes is not unjust.

In addition to "having to eat" at work, Ning Weimin also spends a lot of money for everyone in his private life.

Not to mention the 50,000 yen per person landing fee and reception banquet when we first arrived here.

Just say that on weekdays, whenever he has the opportunity, he will still find a station wagon and organize everyone to go out and walk around Tokyo to experience the modern life in the city.

I’ve been to a lot of parks in Tokyo, and I’ve seen karaoke, I’ve been to Disneyland, I’ve been on a cruise ship in Tokyo Bay, and I’ve tasted all kinds of snacks and restaurants.

Ning Weimin even bought a lot of Tokyo's local specialties such as tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, and distributed them to everyone on a per-person basis.

Ning Weimin also personally took everyone to the nearby post office and taught them one by one how to write addresses and send international parcels.

The phone in the dormitory has international service enabled so that everyone can contact their families at any time.

Think about it then? He has reached this point, how can these people train him without giving up their shoulders?

In fact, let alone the two musicians and the noodle maker, they were greatly envious of these regular employees of the altar palace.

I feel that they are extremely lucky to have met one of the best leaders in a million, and they are living in a blessed nest.

Even Zhang Qiang's mother could not see how hard Ning Weimin worked so hard, and she was convinced of his character.

Not only did she take the initiative to help him and share some things she could for him, but she also confessed to him something that had been hidden for a long time and violated the original agreement.

Fortunately, after he went abroad last year, Zhang Qiang's uncle took advantage of others and secretly agreed to perform on his niece's behalf.

Although Zhang Qiang doesn't want to go, Zhang Qiang's mother doesn't agree either.

However, due to family ties, the mother and daughter could not refuse Uncle Zhang Qiang's plea in the end. They violated their promise to Ning Weimin and followed these people to "go to the acupuncture points."

But I didn't expect that this time I would actually be on a pirate ship.

Those people came from the land of liars. Acupoint led them to perform at one stop after another, and found various excuses not to pay the performance fee.

Zhang Qiang became tired and sick during the performance. She had a fever and vomiting, but her acupuncture points still forced her to continue to perform despite her illness.

How can Zhang Qiang’s mother do this? When he proposed to return to the capital, these people refused to let him go.

In order to scare the mother and daughter, they also beat up a young actor and lighting engineer in front of them.

Later, thanks to Zhang Qiang's mother finding a friend from a local theater troupe and getting help from the local police, they were able to escape the control of the acupoint and fled back to the capital in embarrassment.

Zhang Qiang's mother felt guilty and blamed herself for this incident.

Originally, he didn't want Ning Weimin to know. In addition to being ashamed, he was also a little worried about breaking the contract and being held responsible.

But seeing that Ning Weimin was convinced that his subordinates could do this, she no longer had any worries and simply made it clear.

"Wei Min, you are really more reliable than Zhang Qiang's uncle. Auntie, I must admit your mistake. This matter was really mishandled. Just do what you say. When the album is recorded, you can When you follow Zhang Qiang into the studio to record songs, no matter where you go, I won't follow you. I can't worry about you."

Look, how about saying "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world"?

This is Ning Weimin's skill as a person.

Stabilizing the internal situation is equivalent to ensuring the operating level of Tan Palace, which is enough to give Ning Weimin peace of mind and no worries.

However, if you want Tan Palace to develop faster and more smoothly, you will inevitably need outsiders to help promote it and use the influence of others to establish Tan Palace's brand image.

The best guests to invite are, of course, companies that have an interest in Ning Weimin.

Companies such as Credit Suisse Bank, Daiwa Kanko, Banwa Industrial Co., Ltd., and Japan's Pierre Cardin Co., Ltd., which are closely related to Ning Weimin's interests in various aspects, whether public or private, will undoubtedly need to Sell ​​him some face.

Sumitomo Bank and OKI, which manufactures ATM machines, have been caught by Ning Weimin. There is no need to cause trouble and make him unhappy until the financial risks of all ATM machines are eliminated.

Nomura Securities, Aoba Real Estate, and Higashi Foundation Real Estate are obviously at a disadvantage in the business relationship between the two parties.

Even people like Director Taniguchi, Rinko Kagawa, and the staff of Eibundang Bookstore and Dadao Trading Company, who have a certain affiliation with Ning Weimin, have the responsibility and obligation to support him, and they can't push it away even if they want to.

However, instead of taking advantage of others, Ning Weimin put etiquette first and honesty first.

He remembered the old man's instructions before leaving, and knew that everyone needs face and respect, which is even more important than the nature of interests.

Therefore, for any company or any person, an invitation is submitted in person, a sincere invitation to express the hope that the other party will come.

This not only reflects the importance he attaches to the invitees, but also reflects his own self-cultivation.

There is a saying that is true, respect is mutual, and how you treat others determines how others treat you.

So Ning Weimin naturally gained the same amount of face.

Those who were invited took the banquet seriously, dressed up and arrived on time.

And almost all companies and guests sent flower baskets as congratulatory gifts. This is why there are so many flower baskets in Ginza Danmiya that they can be placed from the second floor to the first floor, and even on the street.

Of course, if there are only guests from the business community attending the event, it seems a bit insufficient.

So Ning Weimin painstakingly made use of all his contacts and tried every means to add some educated guests to the banquet.

Keiko Matsumoto’s resources in this area are definitely not available.

So Yi Qian, a well-known actor, director, and president under Shochiku Pictures who was close to Matsumoto Keiko, became Ning Weimin's guest.

In addition, there is the president of the "Alido" music production company, the person in charge of producing albums for Cui Jian and Zhang Qiang.

Even the famous Japanese musician and singer Shinji Tanimura.

There is also the famous writer Hiroyuki Itsuki who wrote the lyrics for Matsumoto Keiko's famous song "Love in the Water". He is very considerate of Matsumoto Keiko and also came to support him.

This greatly made up for Ning Weimin's lack of contacts in the business world, adding cultural celebrities to the banquet, which greatly improved the level.

Of course, Ning Weimin can't just point his fingers at Matsumoto Keiko. He has nothing but money.

It is a coincidence that this year happens to be the most prosperous years for Teresa Teng and Weng Qianyu in Japan, and it also coincides with the great progress in cross-strait relations this year.

Under the consensus that "One China must be reunified," the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are now ready to launch peace talks and take the lead in making substantive work for the "three direct links" across the Taiwan Straits, and there are no more political worries.

So Ning Weimin made a special trip to explain and apply to the embassy in Japan. After getting approval, he contacted the brokerage companies of two compatriots from Baodao.

It turned out that they hit it off immediately. The two were also very interested in mainlanders opening a Chinese restaurant in Ginza.

He expressed his willingness to spare time to support fellow villagers.

In the end, Ning Weimin invited Teresa Teng for 1.5 million yen and Weng Qianyu for 1.2 million yen respectively.

Although this money is considered a good reward for these two artists.

After all, Teresa Teng once publicly spread rumors in Baodao a few years ago, saying that her remuneration of US$10,000 for a single day's performance was a rumor.

She said that if she charged so much, the owners of the karaoke and dance halls where she performed would have no profit.

But to Ning Weimin, this little money is nothing.

Even though Teresa Teng was initially worried that he could not afford it and said that she could communicate with the brokerage company for him and lower the price appropriately, Ning Weimin did not take advantage of this small advantage.

If nothing else, this is Teresa Teng, the only Teresa Teng.

Although for Americans, Teresa Teng may not have as many fans as Zhang Qiang, but we ourselves know what this ranking is all about.

After all, he is recognized as a legend in the Chinese music scene on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. His sound is invincible throughout Asia and a classic that will never go out of style.

Besides, Zhang Qiang is still her little crush.

Just like when Momoe Yamaguchi sees Matsumoto Keiko, she has to stand at attention and call her "senpai".

It can be said that inviting Teresa Teng is equivalent to Americans opening a restaurant in Japan and inviting MJ. Isn’t that cool enough?

It's enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.

Of course he can't be too stingy, otherwise it will be disrespectful to a generation of diva, and it will also be a price for ourselves in front of the Japanese.

Absolutely not.
