Chapter 1015: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world
The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony.
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 you cannot achieve the goal of people and people, 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 these words are placed in modern society, the success or failure of an enterprise and the survival of a company will be even more true.
Because of this understanding, 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 smoothly towards glory, he had to be cautious and take it seriously.
It can be said that I have 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.
Firstly, the mood is smooth, and secondly, you can get 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 can be exchanged for a person's heart, and eight taels can be exchanged for half a catty.
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 are 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 must also pay attention to the needs of employees in all aspects of their lives at all times.
Not only should we not treat employees poorly in terms of 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 very tiring and hard, 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, which is equivalent to the annual salary of a Japanese company.
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 This is so bad..."
The 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 were taking advantage of it.
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 the Chinese food they had eaten was all 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 are familiar with the properties of Japanese specialties and Japanese eating habits.
They successfully researched and invented several unique new dishes.
For example, Japan has a lot of high-quality marine fish and loves to eat ramen.
Jiang Dachun and Xiao Zha, two brothers who are good at making river delicacies, learned and used it flexibly and figured out a way to make fish noodles with sea fish.
They use yellow croaker or Spanish mackerel as their main ingredient. Remove the spines from the fresh fish, chop the meat into a paste-like shape, add a certain proportion of starch and salt to knead it into a dough, divide the dough into balls, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large and thin pancake about the size of a cattail fan, and then roll it into a roll.
Put it in a steamer and steam it over high heat for twenty to thirty minutes. When the leaves are cooked, spread them out. After cooling, cut them into thin pancakes crosswise with a knife and dry them 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 frying, frying, frying, stewing, or cold salad, 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 soup stock like Japanese ramen.
So much so that this kind of noodles confused several Japanese waiters hired by Tan Palace.
They clearly saw that the soup in their bowls was bland, but the texture and taste of the noodles were excellent.
Based on 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 a kind of fish, it does not taste like fish, so it is really a unique dish.
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 terms of taste and image.
First of all, make good use of seafood, and secondly, what kind of stuffing 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 the Japanese who are two-dimensional creatures like it, even the domestic chefs are 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 had to 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 spent a lot of money for everyone in his private life.
I won’t talk about the landing fee of 50,000 yen per person for the first time and the reception banquet.
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 packages.
The phone in the dormitory also has international service enabled so that everyone can contact their families at any time.
Think about it? He has reached this point, how can these people train him without giving up their shoulders?
In fact, not to mention the two musicians and the noodle maker 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 Ning Weimin was so worried about his hard work, and she was very convinced of his character.
Not only did he take the initiative to help him and share some things within his ability, but he also confessed to him something that had been hidden for a long time and violated the original agreement.
Damn it, 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 finally could not refuse Uncle Zhang Qiang's plea, broke their promise to Ning Weimin, and followed these people to "go to the acupoints."
But I didn’t expect that this time I would be on a pirate ship.
Those people are 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 was 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.
For this matter, Zhang Qiang’s mother felt guilty and blamed herself.
Originally, I didn’t want Ning Weimin to know. In addition to being embarrassed, I was also a little worried about being held responsible for breaking the contract.
Seeing that Ning Weimin had no worries about his subordinates being able to do this, she 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 take it with you in the future. Follow Zhang Qiang into the studio to record songs. No matter where you go, I won't follow you. "
Look, how about saying "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world"?
This is Ning Weimin’s skill as a man.
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.
Enterprises such as Credit Agricole Suez, Daiwa Kanko, Hanwa Industrial Co., Ltd., and Japan's Pierre Cardin Co., Ltd., which are closely related to the interests of Ning Weimin in various aspects, whether public or private, have no The question is to sell him some face.
Sumitomo Bank and OKI, which manufactures ATM machines, have been pinched by Ning Weimin. Before the financial risks of all ATM machines are eliminated, there is no need to cause more trouble and make him unhappy.
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, the staff of Eibundang Bookstore and Dadao Trading Company, who have a certain affiliation with Ning Weimin, have the responsibility and obligation to support them and want to recommend them to everyone. Can't push it away.
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, the invitation is submitted in person, sincerely expressing 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.
The invited people all took this banquet seriously, dressed up and arrived on time.
Almost all companies and guests sent flower baskets as congratulatory gifts. This is why there are so many flower baskets in Ginza Danguchi that they can be placed from the second floor to the first floor, and even on the street. .
Of course, if there are only these guests from the business community, 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.
Matsumoto Keiko'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 cannot point his finger 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 unified", the two sides of the Taiwan Straits are now ready to carry out peace talks and take the lead in making substantive work for the "three direct links" across the Taiwan Strait, and there are no more political worries.
So Ning Weimin made a special trip to the embassy in Japan to explain and apply. After getting the approval, he went to contact the brokerage companies of the two Baodao compatriots.
It turned out that they hit it off immediately, and the two were also very interested in mainland Chinese opening a Chinese restaurant in Ginza
and expressed their willingness to spare time to support their fellow countrymen.
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 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.
For no other reason than this, 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, and 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 Yamaguchi Momoe saw Matsumoto Keiko, she had 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?
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 divas, and it will also be our own price in front of the Japanese.
Absolutely not.
