Ye Fan's expression seemed to be very pleased with his son's actions, as if the child had become sensible and knew how to share his mother's worries.
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but said: "Aren't there just a few salespeople? I can find dozens of reliable ones for you."
"Veteran?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Isn't it better than the ones picked up on the roadside?"
Ye Fan smiled and shook his head: "Your soldiers have been in the army all year round and rarely interact with people from all walks of life. Those who are all-rounded are not as discerning as Dabao. Besides, they have never seen high mountains. They feel like they are working as security guards in our company." Looking at the smoke rising from the ancestor's grave, how can your soldiers think so? They probably think that my company needs him, not that he needs this job."
Every veteran has two options, one is resettlement fee, and the other is employment. If he chooses the former, he will have the confidence to choose a job if he has money. If he chooses the latter, even if it is only a temporary job, it is more decent than a sales job.
If Geng Zhiye suggested that they come to Ye Fan's company, he might really think that Ye Fan needs them. The mentality of needing and being needed is different, which is reflected in the positive attitude of the few people picked up by Dabao at work.
Geng Zhiye couldn't answer, so he asked: "The reform of state-owned enterprises has laid off so many people, but your company still lacks decent sales personnel?"
"Didn't we discuss this a long time ago?" Ye Fan couldn't remember clearly, "From the state-owned garment factory to Chang Guangrong's sportswear factory, some people will feel embarrassed because they no longer have an iron rice bowl. Let them distribute it everywhere. If they receive goods at the door during holidays, they will feel that they have lost face and are sorry for their ancestors.”
Geng Zhiye: “There are also people who don’t care about this.”
"But these people can set up stalls. They have free time to set up stalls, and they don't have to look at the bosses and supervisors." Ye Fan said, "There are also many idle people in the society. Just because he is peaceful does not mean that his friends are honest and kind. I will recruit one. A sheep may attract a pack of wolves. The people Dabao found are all safe, and the probability is the same as the top students in the bad class.”
Geng Zhiye asked: "You are so worried about people outside, so employees are looking for relatives and friends looking for friends?"
Ye Fan: "Before the reform of state-owned enterprises, this was the only way to find salespeople. Now many people are no longer obsessed with state-owned enterprises. I ask people to recruit people from technical secondary schools or colleges."
Now the school still provides distribution, Geng Zhiye asked: "Are you willing to give up the national distribution and come to your company?"
Ye Fan: "I didn't want to do it two years ago, but I have found a few in the past two years. One is a veterinarian, and one can only be a kindergarten teacher after graduation. The reason why they studied these two majors is that they are average in their studies, and they want to be able to study hard. Take a gamble. Unexpectedly, they were laid off before they graduated. They are now working as salespeople while learning how to fix computers.”
"Are they all gay?"
Ye Fan: "There are very few residential areas with elevators now, and lesbians cannot carry the display host up to the fifth or sixth floor."
Geng Zhiye forgot about Ye Fan's computer package: "A gay man becomes a kindergarten teacher? It seems that he really had no other choice at the beginning. Wait, is it just these two?"
Ye Fan pulled him to lie down: "Of course there are more than one. There are three in Hangzhou, one in the central store, and one in the R&D department, who works as a secretary to the director." When he talked about this, he wanted to sigh, "It's so difficult to compete with the country for people. .”
"State-owned enterprises are still stable. The state-owned enterprises will give you 300, and you will give 400. If I were me, I would choose the state-owned enterprises."
Ye Fan: "That's right. But if you give them five hundred, it's not worth it. If they can get five hundred, then the front desk and security guards who have worked for several years will definitely have trouble if they don't get six hundred. If the security guards' wages go up, so will the wages of the R&D department." Go up, otherwise the interns will make fun of me. I am busy all day long and I don’t have overtime pay, so I might as well be a security guard.”
"Why didn't you think of going to the labor market?" Geng Zhiye asked, "Migrant workers must not be afraid of being caught by relatives and neighbors selling computers at the door."
Because their relatives and friends are in their hometown!
Ye Fan: "Most of the people who come out to work these days are with their relatives. They come out only after their relatives guarantee that they will have a job. They don't need to be picked out like the vegetables put out for sale. Besides, the train is so chaotic, they don't dare to come out on their own. . But there are also brave ones. Two maintenance personnel from our company are now In Hangzhou, I came out on my own. At the annual meeting, I heard him say that he only had 20 yuan with him and only a few yuan left after buying the bus ticket. At that time, he wanted to find a job that provided food and accommodation, and no salary. Okay. Unexpectedly, he was lucky and found it after a long search.”
"Your company?"
"Yes. The other one was not so lucky. He spent two days in the labor market and was picked up as a thug. He ran out if he didn't want to die. He ran to a remote place and ran to the talent apartment." A few years ago, Ye Fan's company There is no road built at the door to connect buses, so locals and locals think it is remote. So Ye Fan believed what the employee said was true. But saying he was picked up may not be accurate. Eighty-nine times out of ten, he thought that the person who picked him was a big boss who wanted to make money and was deceived into it.
Geng Zhiye was aroused by her curiosity: "What next?"
Ye Fan laughed: "I want to laugh when I talk about this. He saw the security guard and thought he was a policeman, so he wanted to ask him for help. The security guard thought he was applying for a security guard job, so he said there was no shortage of security guards, but there was a shortage of salespeople. He had nowhere to go. , I don’t have much money on me, so I plan to hide it in my company for a while.”
"Then you stay in the company until you learn how to repair computers and volunteer to go to Hangzhou to support?"
Ye Fan: "He originally planned to make money and go back to his hometown because he was afraid of being found by those people. The talent apartment and company are one or two kilometers away from the street, but the sales office is on the street, and almost everyone who buys electronic products has visited that street. No. He will be discovered in three days. Sales manager, please come up to the security guard. One of them was captured, and the other three were taken to the police station without saying a word. My employee was worried that they would come out to retaliate, and the manager tried to comfort him, but no one dared to leave. Only after revenge did he stay with peace of mind.”
"Where does he get the confidence?"
Ye Fan looked at him with a smile. Geng Zhiye understood: "Me?"
Ye Fan: "I heard that as soon as those people came out, they complained to their boss and wanted to destroy my store. Their boss thought that the manager would be quick and straightforward, as if he was a gangster on the street, so he asked what kind of business he was. On the road, he found out about me. He was worried that I would be killed by the gang, so he took his younger brother to the store to apologize.”
Geng Zhiye was stunned by this direction.
Ye Fan wanted to laugh when he saw this: "I didn't know about this before. I only found out about it when everyone was sitting together at the annual meeting and chatting about nothing. But I also reminded them not to bully others."
"What did they say?"
Ye Fan: "The manager said that everyone only wants money. As long as it doesn't hinder them from making money, they can love whoever they want."
"So pragmatic?" Geng Zhiye was very surprised.
Ye Fan: "They have a pragmatic boss."
Geng Zhiye was happy.
Ye Fan himself was also happy, "To talk about this, we have to start from the early years. At that time, my employees had money and wanted to buy motorcycles, and some wanted to buy big gold chains and watches, so I suggested that they buy a house. They were not happy at first, maybe because they thought I was as busy as their mother. I told them directly that I bought both the office and the store on the street."
Geng Zhiye continued: "You are so good at making money, it must be because you see that buying is more cost-effective than renting."
"Yes! Although I can't understand it, because the rent was low at the time, it was more economical to rent than to buy in those years, but they still listened to me. Now half of the people in the R&D department have houses, and 30% of the people in the sales department have houses. The latest is four I bought it five years ago. At that time, the house price did not exceed RMB 1,000. Now, the cheapest building among them is more than RMB 1,000. The price of a car is more than RMB 1,000. Everyone in the street is envious. Now no one wants to rent a house for 3,000 yuan. This contrast is too strong. The employees who just joined the company last year wanted to have a home in the capital. "Ye Fan wanted to laugh again when he talked about this, "In addition to our own use, that building has six floors and dozens of companies. The people in my company are the most stingy."
Geng Zhiye turned sideways and asked: "What do you mean?"
"The boss of the company downstairs told me that none of them smoke or drink. They wear plaid shirts all year round. Those who don't know better would think that they are all poor boys starting their own businesses." Ye Fan laughed, "They go to the disco and coffee shop after work. In the cinema, my company’s employees go to the cafeteria and either go to work overtime or go back to the dormitory to watch TV after eating. I’m afraid they will spend a penny more.”
Geng Zhiye: "Isn't that Sensen a different kind of thing?"
Ye Fan: "Sensen doesn't go there often. Shensen also took them there, but not long after entering, he couldn't bear it and ran out. Then he promoted it in the company. You can't go near that place. It disturbs people's will and monsters are rampant."
"How is that possible?" Although Geng Zhiye has never been there, it was shown on TV.
Ye Fan said: "It's a bit exaggerated, but to people who are used to being clean, it's just like a bunch of demons dancing around, ghosts crying, wolves howling." Employees who thought their colleagues were too exaggerated went with Sensen, drank a glass of Coke, and came back to talk about it for a week, because one cup can buy a box outside. ”
"A box of Coke doesn't mean much to them. This consumption concept is not worthy of their income." Geng Zhiye sighed, and suddenly remembered something, "If they make money but don't spend it, don't they think life is meaningless? ”
Ye Fan: "Yes. I fly to Hong Kong City twice a year, and every time they ask me to bring something with me. For example, watches, mice and keyboards, graphics cards, etc. These things are easy to get rid of if you want to replace them with new ones after a year or two. . What can you do if you drink cocoa? ”
"Then the boss of your company downstairs is wrong. Your employees are pragmatic and not stingy."
Ye Fan: "I'm not familiar with him and I don't want to explain. He's stingy when he says he's stingy. This is good, so I don't have to worry about my people every day."
"Can you dig it?"
Ye Fan turned to him with a smile: "What do you think?"
"You can't poach them. Unless it's two thousand in your company and four thousand a month in his place. That's not right. It's the management who gets two thousand a month, right? Your company's management gets bonuses. Counting dividends, the monthly salary is four to five thousand. They want to poach Can one get six or seven thousand?”
Ye Fan: "Even if you include dividends of 30,000 yuan a year, they still have to pay 40,000 yuan if they want to recruit people. But those companies only have a net profit of 100,000 yuan a year."
"Spend half of your income to poach people?" Geng Zhiye tutted, "It's unrealistic! But you still miss your people when you know they can't poach them? Are you free?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "There is no conflict between being unable to dig and being greedy."
Geng Zhiye thought about it and said, "That's too far off topic. Are you so satisfied with the few people Dabao picked up that you plan to entrust them with important tasks?"
"Let's see first. After a few years, if their temperament has not changed and they are eager to learn, let them go to the factory to become workshop directors or quality inspection team leaders." Ye Fan said, "Like Chang Guangrong's sportswear factory and law firm, they hold shares If I have a small shareholding, they won’t mess around. I don’t need to arrange for someone to go into the factory where I have a large shareholding. I can’t just rely on them to act on their own initiative.”
Geng Zhiye: "You are so far-fetched." "There are more and more people in the company, and the stall is getting bigger and bigger. I am an octopus and I can't handle it." Ye Fan couldn't help but yawn.
Geng Zhiye was also sleepy: ‘Go to sleep first. We’ll talk about the rest later. ”
The next morning, Ye Fan's house had dinner before seven o'clock. Geng Zhiye and his guards set off first, followed by Dabao, and then Geng Sensen. Ye Fan put away his clothes and shoes, and tidied up his bedroom and study. It wasn't nine o'clock yet. Ye Fan took a shower, put on light makeup, and arrived at the company at exactly nine o'clock.
The floor where Ye Fan was sitting was very empty, so she reminded the secretary to recruit a few more people when the school starts in a few days. They would work in the secretariat for half a year and then be assigned to the personnel department.
The recruitment of new employees in the sales department and the above-mentioned R&D department requires a secretary to run around. The secretary is eager to start up the human resources department as soon as possible. So during a weekend gathering with classmates, she asked her classmates to find out which school had better personnel management talents. The secretary doesn't want to get a few thorns in trouble.
Ye Fan didn't have much to do in the morning, and he probably didn't have much to do in the afternoon either. In the afternoon, he went to the research institute to squat for half a day.
Although Ye Fan's professional level cannot compare with them, Ye Fan has many ideas. In the words of the leader of the institute, if she opens her mouth, they will break their legs. But sometimes scientific research lacks the courage to think. In the past few years, Ye Fan's imaginative thinking has helped them solve several problems, so they don't exclude Ye Fan's inspiration from time to time.
The next day, Ye Fan went to the production factory and stayed there for a day.
Halfway through the dog days of summer, Erbao came back. The little girl seemed to be a different person. She was more stable and her temperament had improved. No one who saw her would regard her as a yellow-haired girl anymore.
In mid-August, Ye Fan and Wei Jianshe took a few people south to pick up the goods, and stopped by the Hangcheng office and the Yongcheng injection molding factory to have a look.
In mid-September, Ye Fan's partners in Hong Kong City returned to Hong Kong, and Ye Fan also took several employees to Hong Kong City. The employees are knowledgeable and help the R&D department purchase a batch of mice, keyboards and other gadgets. Ye Fan buys things for his children, mainly his second treasure.
Ye Fan bought Erbao several brand-name suits and accessories. Two of them were bought in Pengcheng, and the main materials were pearls and colored gemstones.
Erbao liked the pearl earrings, hairpins and brooch very much. Erbao touched his ears and said, "Fortunately, I have ears and eyes. Mom, help me put them on."
Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
Erbao let down his hair and it felt longer: "Mom, should I cut my hair short?"
Ye Fan said: "It's too short and makes people feel uncomfortable. Go to the shoulders. Use a hair dryer to blow the inner buckle to make it look gentle and intellectual."
"Is it so troublesome to blow dry my hair? What if I perm it?"
Ye Fan: "That's okay. Mom will help you find a professional barber later. Otherwise, you'll have to cut it off if it gets burned."
Nanny Xiao Wang nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, my cousin got permed before she came home at the end of last year. She was told to have small curls, but she permed her hair into a chicken nest. Now she can only tie it up. Otherwise, it will be like being permed by a popcorn machine. It’s the same as fried.”
Ye Fan thought of the new receptionist's hair. Fortunately, she had a small face and fair skin, and could still see with her head on her head. Otherwise, she would be too ugly to find a partner.
"Mom, help me find it these days. I'm on vacation."
Ye Fan nodded and called Dong Ying. Her hair was permed well.
The next day, Ye Fan took his daughter there.
When the hairdresser saw Erbao, he suggested that she perm her hair with big waves, just like a Hong Kong female star. Ye Fan said leisurely, "She works in the diplomatic service." The barber immediately did not dare to persuade or encourage him. He was very careful when cutting Er Bao's hair, fearing that he might cut half an inch more.
With her hair styled well, Erbao looks three or four years older. Dong Ying was also there, and was very dissatisfied when she saw this: "Too mature."
Ye Fan: "I am mature and steady. I used to be too student-minded."
Erbao is very satisfied with this: "Mom is right. This is how I imagined myself."
Ye Fan said: "Then we will go home and take a photo as a souvenir?"
When Erbao gets home, he looks for Polaroids. She took a few pictures by herself, and then took her grandma, nanny Xiao Wang and Ye Fan with her. Tired of filming, Geng Sensen came back from get off work and saw Erbao stunned for a moment, and then walked straight towards her.
Erbao's scalp was numb when he looked at him: "What are you doing?"
"She's my sister? I don't dare to admit it!"
Erbao glared at him: "You are poorer than my father."
Speaking of Geng Zhiye, Geng Sensen asked: "Auntie, what is uncle busy with? He is not the head of the military region, so why is he busier than my dad?"
Ye Fan: "Your dad flies around a lot and has endless meetings. Isn't he busy?"
"You're not too busy. I see him every time I go back." Geng Sensen thought about it carefully. Even if he didn't see him during dinner, he would definitely see him before going to bed.
Ye Fan said: "You have to live in the army dormitory, and you can see your uncle often."
"Aren't you being arrogant? If I were my dad's secretary, I would see him all day long." Geng Sensen thought of something, "By the way, I went back for dinner a few days ago, and my dad said that my brother would be here a few days ago." I’m engaged today, so I want you to come together.”
Ye Fan was surprised: "What should I do?"
"My father means that my brother has been with you and my uncle for half of his life. You must go when he gets engaged." Geng Sensen said, "I brought the message. If you don't have time, tell them yourself."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "When you have time. Ask your mother what she was wearing that day."
"Tsk, you should be careful." Geng Sensen said, "Wear whatever you want. It's not like we are rushing to propose marriage."
Yu Wentao couldn't stand listening: "You can't wear red or green."
"My aunt is not stupid, and she will definitely not dress like this. What I mean is that apart from those special colors, my aunt can wear whatever she wants." Geng Sensen saw his aunt's windbreaker, "That's fine."
Ye Fan's windbreaker was milky white: "That's okay."
However, the plan could not keep up with the change. The temperature in the capital dropped before the National Day, and it was a bit cold to wear a windbreaker in the morning, so Ye Fan changed the thin lining into a thin sweater. The sweater was white. Ye Fan didn't want to wear a white windbreaker, so he simply changed into a military green coat.
Ye Fan is tall and has long legs, and even wearing flat shoes does not look short. But the whole family asked her to change into high-heeled leather boots. Ye Fan didn't listen to them and changed into three-centimeter-high black short boots.
Erbao suggested that her mother wear Martin boots. Ye Fan imagined it and shook his head: "It's so cool. It's not like attending an engagement party, it's more like going to war."
Both the Geng family and the bride's family kept a low profile. No outsiders were invited to the engagement banquet, which was just a table at the State Guesthouse. There were six people from the woman's family, four from the man's family, and two matchmakers, which made it six people in total.
At first it was a polite exchange of pleasantries. The matchmaker's wife invited Ye Fan to eat some food, and everyone's attention shifted to Ye Fan. The woman's grandfather seemed to suddenly realize, and asked, "Is your father Ye Jianzhong?"
Ye Fanxin said, you just remembered. Ye Fan had a smile on his face and was a little flattered: "Do you know my father?"
The woman's grandfather only said a few words about Ye Fan's father and then brought it up to him, and began to reminisce about those years. Ye Fan could tell that this old man didn't have as many military medals as her father-in-law.
The old man's son may have realized this, and reminded his father to eat first, and greeted his future in-laws to drink soup with an apologetic look on his face.
Later, there were several episodes that made both families a little unhappy. Ye Fan didn't drink. When she went back, she drove the car. Geng Leilei sat in the passenger seat. When she got in the car, she complained: "Then why is the old man like that? Those who don't know think he is one of the top ten marshals."
Ye Fan: "As long as your father-in-law and mother-in-law can carry it clearly. Besides, you don't have to deal with them in your work, and you don't have to worry about their character."
Geng Leilei: "What if I look for you?"
Ye Fan: "As long as your dad is here, no one dares to cause trouble for me. Big brother, right?"
Geng Zhihua smiled and said: "I have not been in the capital these years, and no one dares to cause trouble for you. Leilei, don't think so much. Whatever ideas I have, I will leave them to you."
Yang Mengxia asked: "Will my daughter-in-law complain about Leilei being cold-blooded?"
Ye Fan: "Whoever owns the family is responsible. If you don't want to be responsible, you don't want to live a good life. If you don't want to live a good life, just leave! What a big deal."
