Chapter 161: Knock

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Knock Feng Yiping did this on purpose. To be honest, he was particularly dissatisfied with Chen Xuefeng's work attitude.

At the time, he insisted on advertising in the newspaper for a designer with an annual salary of 50,000, and while there was certainly an advertising element to it, the main reason was to find some talent for the fledgling Jiasheng.

No matter when or where, as long as your two-year salary can buy a big house in the local provincial capital, it is definitely a high income.

From Feng Yiping's point of view, hiring someone with a high salary is not to make them a Buddha. Of course, it is hoped that they can help the company create greater benefits. But looking at Cheng Xuefeng's state, he has not changed at all, still in the same old way as in the institution, and even worse than his performance in the original unit. It feels as if he is positioning himself in a role like 'consultant'.

'I forgot to mention that I also have a stake in Jiasheng Company, but it is currently managed by my father,' Feng Yiping added.

'Yes, they make up the majority,' Mei Yiliang didn't know why Feng Yiping brought this up at this time, but he still immediately clarified.

Feng Yiping said this so that the two people in front of him would not think that the company was in chaos and that just any relative could give orders.

This little guy is actually a major shareholder? Now, including Chen Xuefeng, their attitude has become a bit more proper. Although he was always a little proud when dealing with this small company owner, he also understood that he should maintain a proper level of respect for the person who pays his salary.

'I can see that with your professional talents, it is a waste to have you just work as a site supervisor, but since the company is still in its infancy, I hope you can bear with us for now.' Feng Yiping was used to saying these kinds of things, and when he spoke at this moment, his expression and tone were natural and effortless.

Ying Anjie spoke up first, saying, 'It's fine, this is actually quite good. Going to the site more often and becoming more familiar with the construction team's work will also be beneficial to our designs.'

'Yes, spending more time on the construction site will also be beneficial to us,' Chen Xuefeng also said with a smile, adding that Feng Yiping was no longer just the boss's nephew, and his attitude was completely different.

'However, we still cannot let go of our main work. I think there is one task that we can start working on right now.'

Chen Xuefeng remained leaning back in his chair, while Ying Anjie straightened up.

'The popularity and rise of fine decoration has only been around for a few years in China. To be honest, the orders we get from ordinary people don't have high requirements for design plans. So, what if we tried to come up with some templates in various styles?

For example, for a light and airy style, we need one plan, for a Chinese style, one plan, for a soft style, one plan, for an elegant style, one plan, for an idyllic style, one plan...,'

Feng Yiping kept talking, coming up with more than twenty schemes that he was familiar with. Mei Yiliang opened his mouth wide, Chen Xuefeng and Ying Anjie looked at each other, wondering if there were really so many styles.

Haha, some of these styles haven't really caught on yet, but Feng Yiping just wanted to impress them.

'With these basic schemes, and then based on the specific requirements of the customer and the characteristics of the house, we can make some fine adjustments to these basic schemes, for example, my original modern minimalist style.'

These things are actually done by regular decoration companies, but Jiasheng has not started yet, and my brother-in-law is not aware of this problem.

'Yiping is right, this is good, with these basic designs, the time it takes us to come up with a plan will be greatly reduced,' said Mei Yiliang. He even thought that with these plans, if Chen Xuefeng and the others quit next year, it would not have a big impact for a while. After spending so much money, they have at least left the company with something.

'There are nearly 20 days left until the end of the year. Why don't you two work hard and come up with five designs first? You don't have to do the five specific ones. You can just do whatever is applicable based on the current situation,' Feng Yiping said with a smile.

'But in that case, I'm afraid we won't have time to go to the site during the day,' Chen Xuefeng said.

'That won't work, Chen. I can't oversee four or five construction sites by myself,' Mei Yiliang said.

'Then you look at this...,' Chen Xuefeng looked at Feng Yiping.

'It's the end of the year, everyone is busy, so I'm sorry to trouble you two to work harder and squeeze some time out. Okay, the conditions here at night are not very good, there is not even heating, you two can also take it home to do it,' Feng Yiping looked at Chen Xuefeng without avoiding it.

So what if you were in a public institution, I don't believe you haven't worked overtime. Besides, you are now getting dozens of times the salary you used to get, you should be willing to work a bit more!

Besides, in a private company, overtime is hardly a big deal.

Chen Xuefeng was about to say something else, but Feng Yiping didn't want to hear any more arguments. 'I'll come back before the New Year to see the results. Okay, I won't bother you any more.'

After watching the two men leave the office, Chen Xuefeng sat for a while, then got up to get his work clothes and hard hat. 'Mr Chen, are you going to the site?'

'Can I not go?'

'What about the design plan?'

'I'll go to the library in the afternoon to look up some information. Tomorrow we'll discuss the five options again!' Chen Xuefeng was also at a loss. As an industry insider, he had originally considered Feng Yiping's proposal, but who wants to find themselves more work to do?

As it turned out, this major shareholder who had suddenly jumped in brought it up, and this little guy seemed to know more than his uncle. He really couldn't argue with him, and this was supposed to be something they were going to do.

Besides, it's almost the end of the year, but it's time to pay wages and bonuses. At this time, if you have a falling out with the boss, you're not doing your own pocket any favours, are you?

After leaving the office, Mei Yiliang said to Feng Yiping with a smile, 'Did you come here especially to play the black face?'

'There's no way around it. This Chen Xuefeng in particular, he should have been knocked down a long time ago. Brother-in-law, you should also go and read some books. You're not the same as you were before,' Feng Yiping said. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'Haha, I also feel that there is more and more that I don't understand now, and it's time to learn.'

'In fact, it's not difficult to say. The most important thing is to manage two things well. The first is cash management. The most important thing in all management is financial management, and the focus of financial management is cash management,' which is Feng Yiping's own summary of experience.

'The second is safety management, which must be strictly monitored every day. You are familiar with the site. During construction, if there is even one safety incident, whether it is an engineering accident or a personal accident, our annual profits will be lost. This is especially true if there is a personal accident, and we will not be able to explain to the people back home.'

'I know what to do.'

'Also, in a couple of days, please invite Chen Xuefeng and the others to dinner. If they are very active these few days, then tell them that they will be given computers at the beginning of the year.'

When he said this, Feng Yiping felt another toothache. Returning from more than twenty years in the past to the present, the most unacceptable thing was that these electronic products nowadays were not only poorly performing, but also outrageously expensive.

For example, the best computer you could buy now had a 486 processor, with a clock speed of a few dozen megahertz, no more than ten megabytes of RAM, and a hard drive with a few hundred megabytes would already be considered top-of-the-line.

Not to mention that it is still running the DOS operating system.

'Haha, I was planning to do the same thing. You didn't give Chen any face today. You're giving him a stick and a carrot at the same time!'

Isn't that right? Many of those management and motivational techniques essentially involve giving a stick and a carrot at the same time.
