Chapter 160: Pre-employment training

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Pre-employment training What made Feng Yiping feel suffocated was not just Ma Jiwei's attitude. It wasn't the first time he had seen an attitude like that. Later, when he was trying to find business and take orders, he had seen worse than that. After all, which salesperson hadn't been pushed out the door a few times?

What made him feel stifled was that Ma Jiwai was also right. A small company that had only been established for less than a year was already thinking about renovating a bank branch. Feng Yiping only considered that he was familiar with the image design of the future bank, but neglected some of the company's shortcomings in terms of qualifications.

At the same time, he was also thinking too idealistically, thinking that if he had a good plan, he would definitely be favoured by the bank. In fact, it's not strange that he thinks simply, because there is an example.

He later saw it, probably this year, and it should be the industry leader of one of the most successful film and television companies in the country, and it is still an advertising company. The founder cloned the image design of a bank in a developed country that he saw while studying abroad and made a CI plan to show the leaders of the Bank of China. It was then adopted by the Bank of China, and the company was then contracted to standardise and regulate the work of all the Bank of China's tens of thousands of outlets across the country. There are probably more than 15,000 of them, tens of thousands of outlets!

Don't kid me, saying that you can only make a few tens of dollars by revamping the image design of a bank outlet. If you want to do this, the bank can't afford to lose that person, so at least you have to get a thousand, and after a thousand, multiply it by ten thousand, or even after a hundred, multiply it by ten thousand. Gee! This is definitely the kind of weed that grows fat without it, and the kind of legitimate windfall that makes people rich without it.

So, Feng Yiping has always been obsessed with the banking sector.

And that's not all. After that advertising company became famous overnight, they received many projects from large state-owned enterprises, such as State Power, Sinopec and other large units with the word 'national' in their names. These are all wealthy and arrogant companies with numerous outlets and lucrative businesses.

Then, of course, their advertising agency immediately ranked among the top three in the country and quickly accumulated a strong original capital.

Feng Yiping originally thought that with the CI of the banks that he knew more than 20 years later, it would definitely be more advanced than their current one and more suitable for our national conditions. However, he overlooked the biggest advantage of the other person's success, which was that the two brothers knew the leaders of the Bank of China!

As for himself, he couldn't even say that he didn't know the director of the branch office at the lowest level.

Moreover, the advertising company only handled the design plan and would not undertake the renovation project. Feng Yiping had wanted both things: to impress the bank with his design plan and then take on the renovation project. Thinking about it, he felt that he had been a bit hasty.

Should he set up an advertising company? This was something that he could really think about, but for this year at least, he decided to forget about it!

Of course you need to make money, but there are many opportunities to make money now, and there is no need to work yourself to death for money. After rebirth once, the important thing is to enjoy every day, and no longer work yourself to death for money.

He also had a worry. Judging from Ma Jiwei's clothes, his father, Ma Jiwei's father, was probably not a very honest person. If he wanted to take over some projects from him, it was inevitable that some bribes would be necessary. Feng Yiping, who was of average means, didn't really mind, but people in the banking industry handled money, and it was hard to guess their appetites. If their appetites were too big, he couldn't afford to give them anything, and he didn't dare to give them anything.

Let's put it on hold for now. In fact, the total market for commercial housing renovations is huge. It's better to plough deeper and harder in this area than spend that kind of cost.

Of course, this line can also be followed up. In terms of specific operations, things like qualifications are not too important. It is also difficult for them to get a package. It must be a second or third package that has been resold several times by other people, and the requirements for their qualifications are not as strict.

Then, during the New Year, let my brother-in-law and the others go and explore first, and then we'll see what happens.

The next day, when they arrived at the small building that housed the decoration company, the exterior of the building had not changed, it was still a bit run-down, but it no longer had a sense of decay, because some people were already working inside.

In addition to the two designers, a finance department had also been set up, with an additional accountant and a cashier. Mei Yiliang had thought clearly about this aspect, and as soon as the company was established, he set about establishing a financial system.

Feng Yiping didn't look at the accounts in detail, as Feng Zhanchang would do that, and he only looked at the statements. This year's gross profit was also in the seven figures. After deducting various expenses, there would be more than enough for his brother-in-law to buy a car, but it would be a bit insufficient to renovate the building.

Mei Yiliang took Feng Yiping to the two designers, who had long wanted to meet his nephew.

This was also the first time the two designers had met the nephew the boss had spoken of, and they were both a little suspicious. Are you sure that the previous proposals were mainly the work of this teenager?

They were sizing up Feng Yiping, and Feng Yiping was sizing them up too.

Chen Xuefeng had all the qualities you would expect from someone from a state-owned enterprise: a little aloof, a little formulaic, and a trace of arrogance.

It is reasonable that someone who has married down from a municipal design institute to your fledgling private company should be a little reserved and distant.

As for the fresh university graduate, Ying Anjie, he doesn't look young. He must have started school late, or repeated a year, and either that or the work he was assigned was very unsatisfactory, or he is very realistic and knows that the most important thing right now is money, so he is here for the high salary.

He didn't have the confidence of Chen Xuefeng, and greeted Feng Yiping enthusiastically, 'Hello, Feng!'

The four of them sat down and immediately started talking about work. Chen Xuefeng held up his cup and said, 'President Mei, these two newly formed renovation teams have too many substandard areas. Sometimes we point out the same mistakes several times, but they still don't meet the standards. This won't do!'

Ying Anjie also said, 'That's true. Many of them haven't yet changed their mindset and are still working according to the standards of construction in the counties and towns below. This is especially true in some of the details, which are not done properly.' Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He thought for a moment and said, 'Why don't we mix these people with the original three teams? This way, the acceptance rate will definitely increase significantly.'

From just a few words, Feng Yiping had a general idea of the two of them. Chen Xuefeng still hadn't changed his mindset much. He saw the problem, but then habitually passed it on. In contrast, Ying Anjie was more proactive and had thought about how to solve the problem.

Mei Yiliang was also a little worried. Although many of the two renovation teams were acquaintances from the original three teams, as soon as he mentioned the idea of mixing them up, the few people who had originally led the teams all expressed difficulties.

This is understandable. They have already got used to working together and are very efficient. If you replace one-third or half of them with novices, the efficiency will definitely drop, and correspondingly, so will the income. Although they are now workers, they still have the mentality of farmers. Who would want to do something that is a disadvantage?

'Take your time. They will have to go through a period of adjustment,' said Mei Yiliang.

'Brother-in-law, I think we should do this: after they finish this job, can we put it on hold? Let both teams come back and renovate our building first, and use it as training.'

Mei Yiliang hesitated a little. After all, doing one more job outside would mean one more income. 'There's no end to business. It's not good to always let them practice on other people's homes. Since we also need to do it ourselves, let's pull them back first!' Feng Yiping understood his brother-in-law's concerns.

'Okay then!' Mei Yiliang reluctantly agreed.

It wasn't that the two designers hadn't thought of this, especially Chen Xuefeng, who thought that the sooner the building was decorated, the more his abilities would be directly reflected. However, they didn't dare to raise this suggestion, as telling the boss to make less money was generally not a happy idea.

'In addition, there will definitely be similar things in the future, so we still need to set a system in place. Mixed teams are really not appropriate, as they not only affect efficiency, but also directly affect the workers' income.'

Feng Yiping, who has also worked as an employee, has a personal understanding of this. A good boss cannot unilaterally emphasise that workers should put the overall situation first and disregard their own interests. For example, they should not mind if their income is reduced by one yuan, and they should think first of the company.

There are also some private bosses who hate it when their employees regard the factory or company as their home as much as they do. The problem is, I have no problem thinking for the company as much as you do, and I don't mind working longer hours than you do, but can you give my family the same treatment?

You can't just expect your employees to feel like owners when they're working, but then not enjoy the slightest bit of family treatment when it comes to pay.

'In the future, new workers will have an internship period of one to two months. During this period, they will only receive basic wages and no commission. They will mainly learn from the older workers. At the same time, both the older worker who is mentoring them and the new worker will be assessed. Workers who only care about their own work will not be allowed, nor will those who cannot meet the standards after one or two months of learning.'

'This is a good idea!' Mei Yiliang slapped the table as soon as he heard it. In this way, the conflict was resolved. The original decoration team would have more free helpers, and efficiency would also increase. Novices would also have someone to guide them, and they would grow up quickly.

'Is this just a bit too long?'

'It's better to take a bit longer!' Chen Xuefeng immediately added.

Haha, it seems that he is not a pedantic person either, and he has figured out the crux of the matter.

'The length of time can be adjusted. A month should be fine, but it shouldn't be too long either.' There was no way Feng Yiping would be born with a black heart.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just a matter of pre-employment training. All companies would do this kind of thing in the future, and many of them would start with three months. On the one hand, it was training, and on the other, it was a way to use extremely low wages to get you to work for them as cheap labour for a few months, wasn't it?

However, when such an idea came from the mouth of a child who had not even graduated from junior high school, it was inevitable that people would be impressed.

Mei Yiliang was used to Feng Yiping's behaviour, but Chen Xuefeng was a little less suspicious. Ying Anjie was even more enthusiastic about Feng Yiping. The boss's nephew not only said things the boss valued, but was also quite capable himself. You can't afford to be rude to him.
