Chapter 219 Plan to Recruit Assistants
Chapter 219 Plan to Recruit Assistants
Li Erlang suggested selling steamed buns. Cai Chengping shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work in the short term. We don't have enough manpower. The two stalls in the town are so busy that they can't open now. If we add another steamed bun stall, we won't have enough manpower."
Li Yuer also knows that this is the current situation, but they can't go on like this. When they encounter problems, they need to solve them instead of avoiding them.
"Recruit some people." Li Yuer said.
This time, no one objected.
Old man Li put down his chopsticks and said, "Who is suitable to recruit?"
Mrs. Cai thought for a while and said, "First recruit people from our own village, from Tuwozi Village and Fushui Village. Recruit those who have relatives or friends there first. Of course, the prerequisite is that they must be honest, work hard, and have no bad intentions."
"This is a must." Old man Li also agreed. They have been honest all their lives and are most afraid of dealing with those who have ulterior motives and are not kind.
Old man Li thought of his two brothers, and he discussed with his wife, "What do you think of my two brothers?"
Old Mrs. Cai had thought of this a long time ago and said, "Okay, but you can say it yourself. You know some things that may hurt people's feelings if I say them, so we should say the ugly words in advance."
Seeing that his wife agreed, Old Man Li nodded happily, fearing that she would go back on her word.
He had already thought of what to say. He said that there were other people who had invested in the business and that the other party had very strict requirements. If the job was not done well, even relatives would not be qualified.
Fan Xiaojuan said hesitantly, "Mom, do you think we have enough manpower? If we do, my eldest brother from my mother's family can do it, too."
Old Mrs. Cai knew that Fan Xiaojuan's brother from her mother's family was a good person, strong and hardworking. He had the same temperament as Fan Xiaojuan, gentle and not noisy.
He is a good worker.
Moreover, when the Li family was having a hard time during those years, the Fan family helped a lot. Although they didn't have money, they worked hard and were honest people.
Old Mrs. Cai glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she looked normal.
She was really afraid that her eldest daughter-in-law would do something wrong and have contact with the Zhang family again.
The Zhang family is not a good family to deal with. They favor boys over girls and are extremely partial to them. They even take away things from married girls.
Ever since the last New Year's visit, the Li family has basically cut off contact with the Zhang family.
Mrs. Cai looked at Mr. Cai again, "Brother, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Mr. Cai said, "First focus on your end. If there are not enough people, I will help you look for them."
Li Yuer calculated in his mind that the braised seafood stall would need about five people, working in shifts in groups of three, because they did not work one day and rest the next, so five people would take turns. More people would be needed for the seafood barbecue.
The marinade for braised seafood is prepared in advance, and when selling it, it only needs to be heated on a charcoal stove, which does not require someone to watch it all the time.
To thread the skewers, grill the skewers and serve the customers at the barbecue, more people are needed, at least seven, with four people working in shifts to ensure that there are four people on duty every day, and they also take turns to have days off, regardless of holidays. Employees who work on holidays will have their wages doubled.
If you open a steamed bun stall, you need to prepare the fillings of the buns yourself at home, and then you can go to the stall to make them. This way the recipe won't be leaked and it won't be too tiring. Six people are enough, or three can work in shifts.
Li Meir and other female relatives had a shell jewelry business, and they were likely to run into bad people if they showed up at the market, so Li Yuer simply excluded them all.
After the Dragon King’s wedding, Li Yuer didn’t want her family to encounter similar dangers again.
This is just the staff of the stalls. After the shops at the dock are built in a few days, the stalls will continue to be set up, and new shops will open at the dock, not only seafood snacks, but also drink shops. In summer, there are the most merchant ships passing by, and it is also the hottest and most thirsty season, so drinks will definitely make money.
Li Yuer plans to hire more people at once, at least thirty people, to receive training first, and then they can start working directly when the store opens. He cannot recruit people right after the store opens.
Li Yuer said: "I have thought about it and we need to recruit at least 30 people."
Everyone was stunned. "Yu Baoer, thirty people? Are you sure?" Old Mrs. Cai has always been brave and trusts Li Yuer the most, but she is not sure at this time.
She had hardly ever participated in setting up stalls, so she had no idea how big the Li family's business was.
Li Yuer nodded. "Thirty is the minimum, and I'm afraid we'll have to increase it in the future."
Everyone was surprised and a little delighted. The more people they recruited, the more money they would earn. Cai Chengping wrote them down one by one and recorded the candidates in the account based on the results of everyone's discussion, for fear of missing anyone.
Old man Li said, "My brother can send at most four people."
Old man Li has three brothers. The eldest has an only son, and the third has only a daughter, so there are only four sons in total.
Mrs. Cai thought of Li's cousins and said, "Each of the remaining cousins should give one person, but I think we should also give it according to their character. We can't let them feel that they deserve it."
Old man Li knew clearly that his wife was talking mainly about the fourth brother's family.
The fourth child has a somewhat left-wing personality, favors boys over girls, and likes to take advantage of others.
But it would not be a good idea to single out his family for this reason. We can only say it out loud and wait and see.
Li Yuer thought of a solution and said, "How about this, we can formulate a process for selecting partners."
"What is the process for selecting guys?"
Li Yuer explained: "For example, voting and elections, and skill competitions. For example, in making dumplings, you can compete to see who can make the dumplings faster. In elections, employees can vote anonymously to decide who will leave and who will stay.
Those who squeeze in and don't work properly will naturally take advantage of others and cause dissatisfaction among other guys. They will be voted out and we will have the opportunity to kick them out.
If anyone makes trouble, we can take this opportunity to punish them severely and make an example of them. Who can help us stand on the right side? You are not as good as others in the competition, and you were voted out anonymously by everyone. It is so fair, why do you still dare to make trouble? "
"This is a good idea." Mr. Cai praised, "It not only avoids offending people, but also helps select people with high abilities and popularity."
Li Yuer thought to herself: These were the most basic methods of selecting employees by human resources in the previous life, and she was just copying them.
Of course, anonymous voting is not absolutely fair. Small groups are the inevitable product of all companies developing to a certain level, so it is necessary to combine performance, that is, the results of employee performance competitions, to ensure that those with good performance will not be voted out.
Cai Chengping made some statistics and said, "According to this calculation, there are at least fifteen people, not counting Datou and his group."
Li Laosan immediately became a little anxious. They had come all the way here, and Datou and the others had put in a lot of effort. They couldn't just abandon them after they had done their work, right?
"Big Head and his men have been with us the longest, have done the most work and are most skilled, so they can't leave."
Li Yuer said, "Uncle San, don't worry. I plan to let Datou and the others do more work at the dock."
After hearing what Li Yuer said, Li Laosan felt relieved. There were shops all over the dock, and the place was bigger and could provide more training opportunities.
This is not being abandoned, it's being upgraded.
Li Yuer added: "However, once we have found the right people, we will need Datou and his men to lead them for a few days. Once they are stable, we can let them work on their own."
In the end, the Li family decided on eighteen people and the Cai family decided on twelve people.
