Chapter 1175 Red Envelope


January 29, 1987 was the Chinese New Year.

So after meeting their future father-in-law and mother-in-law on January 25, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko should immediately start packing their luggage and get busy returning to the capital for the New Year.

However, Ning Weimin did not come to Japan alone. The Tan Palace Restaurant in Tokyo is already open for business.

The Chinese employees at Tan Gong Restaurant have been working hard in Japan for a year because of him.

It is also time for these people to return home and reunite with their relatives.

Therefore, Ning Weimin could not take care of his own affairs for the time being. As a restaurant operator, he had to arrange the affairs of these employees first.

To this end, he made two arrangements in advance.

First, he decided that starting from January 26th, Tan Gong Restaurant would be closed for the holidays.

It will be until February 5th, a full ten days.

During this period, except for the few key employees such as security officer Zheng Qiang, chef Yang Feng, and restaurant Liu Jianxing, they need to stay on duty with the Japanese employees.

Other Huaxia employees have to go home for the New Year and will not fly back until the eighth day of the lunar month to resume work.

Then the few left-behind Chinese workers will go home to reunite with their relatives.

Of course, it doesn’t seem appropriate to just take a holiday like this and ask everyone to simply pack up and go back.

After all, everyone has worked hard for so long. As the "big brother", Ning Weimin has to deal with these subordinates who work hard for him.

At least there is a representation and an explanation.

And these left-behind employees are not just idle in Tokyo. In addition to taking inventory with local Japanese employees, they have to clean and remove cockroaches, repair and add some equipment.

On the night of New Year’s Eve, a New Year’s Eve dinner must be prepared for Axia and her brothers who cannot return to Hong Kong City.

In short, there are many tasks, and Ning Weimin also has to consider the mood of these people.

It is better than not letting people only give without getting anything in return, and always only focus on spiritual civilization and free dedication.

No matter how hot your heart is, it will cool down sooner or later.

So for this reason, Ning Weimin also made a decision to hold a year-end party for all employees at Tan Gong Restaurant on January 26.

He wants to invite all the employees of Tan Gong Restaurant, including the Japanese couple who manage the staff dormitory.

Then he fulfilled his promise in public, contributed his own dividends, and gave extra year-end bonuses to Huaxia’s employees.

It’s not that he has a noble style, but that the benefits are shared equally. This is the best way for a team to sustain itself for a long time.

Those who eat alone never get far!

What he hopes is not only to win people's hearts, but also to try to even out the gap in remuneration between Chinese employees and Japanese employees and boost morale.

It would be best to take this opportunity to allow Chinese and Japanese employees to deepen their understanding of each other and enhance their relationship.

So when it comes to this dinner party, the most special place, the most shocking and endlessly attractive place for everyone, is not the table full of delicious food and wine.

First, Keiko Matsumoto attended as a Japanese shareholder.

This big star dressed up very brightly and looked stunning. He even came to attend the New Year's Eve party to express his condolences and thanks to the employees of Tan Gong Restaurant.

Moreover, she also appeared on stage as the host and was responsible for presiding over the entire New Year Party process.

The second is on a small table in front of the small stage in the restaurant. There are more than thirty big and thick red envelopes neatly arranged on the table.

Needless to say, these red envelopes will definitely attract the attention of all employees in China and Japan.

Japanese people don’t know what’s inside, they just keep guessing.

The Huaxia employees are on the same page and it’s self-evident.

Everyone was smiling and wondering how much money was inside.

When everyone arrived and before the dinner started, the first process was that Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin announced to the Chinese and Japanese employees this year’s announcement in Japanese and Chinese. business performance.

This year, the Danmiya branch in Ginza, Tokyo, was only open for less than eight months from its opening date on April 18, 1986 to December 31, 1986. However, the total turnover exceeded 1.1 billion yen.

Especially in the last month of last year, because we received more large orders for the New Year's Eve party, we achieved a turnover of 350 million yen in a single month.

As a result, a net profit margin of 40% was achieved throughout the year, and an after-tax net profit of 450 million yen was achieved.

When converted into U.S. dollars, it is more than three million, which is equivalent to more than 20 million yuan in RMB.

In this way, not only the entire investment cost was recovered that year.

Furthermore, Ning Weimin, along with several investors from Taitan Palace, multiplied the original two million yuan they brought over tenfold.

Although it took advantage of the appreciation of the yen, at least half of the profits were earned from the appreciation of the yen.

Not to mention the real estate purchased by Ning Weimin personally in Ginza as a backing.

But this number sounds absolutely shocking!

To put it bluntly, it is not like the profits obtained from legitimate business at all.

In particular, few of these employees have accounting knowledge. From their point of view, they feel that Ning Weimin has simply created a business miracle, which is extremely remarkable.

So not only the Chinese employees stood up and applauded collectively, but also the Japanese employees stood up and responded.

As a nation that likes to suppress the weak and favor the strong, they are also amazed by such business capabilities. They should not only sigh at this exaggerated number.

It can be said that the scene of the New Year's Eve party was full of joy.

Based on this set of data, all employees, top and bottom, no one will doubt that this restaurant will be better in the future and has a bright future.

As a result, there was no need to warm up at all, and the atmosphere reached a climax in no time.

Even Matsumoto Keiko looked at Ning Weimin with excitement and admiration.

You know, she had never inquired about Ning Weimin's business operations, but she was shocked by the specific figures today.

She was already a fan of girls, and now she couldn't help herself. She felt that her lover was really an amazing genius.

In other words, invisible pretense is the most deadly.

With great difficulty, after everyone gradually regained their composure and sat down one after another, Ning Weimin began to report his private accounts.

Based on the original promises of shareholders, he could get 22.5 million yen in 5% dividend.

Today, he wants to fulfill his promise to his compatriots and use 20 million yen to share it with the Chinese compatriots who have worked side by side with him and worked hard together for a year.

After saying these words, the scene was filled with thunder.

Needless to say, everyone who had just sat down stood up again, and they were even more excited than before.

All the Huaxia employees could not help but applaud and cheer, almost tearing down the roof.

Nothing else, their Mr. Ning is so generous!

First, no one expected that there would be so much money to divide!

Second, no one expected that Ning Weimin didn't keep any of this astronomical sum of money for himself, and almost 90% of it was given to everyone!

What kind of leadership is this?

Don’t say you’ve seen it, you’ve never even heard of it.

If you feel this way, you are following the right person.

It seems that I have to meet the Ming Lord, a leader like Chao Gai or Dou Erdun.

Soon it was time for the actual development of red envelopes. People who heard their names came up to the stage to receive money were even more satisfied when they came down and received the heavy red envelopes.

There is no doubt that what everyone is more concerned about is how much money they can get - say one thousand to ten thousand, the last word is the money they get.

In fact, several team leaders can get 600,000 yen, and ordinary employees can get 500,000 yen.

On this trip together with Ning Weimin, each of them made at least 30,000 yuan, and they will have no worries for the rest of their lives.

Who can not be excited by such a simple and crude myth of "creating wealth"?

This is no longer true to the saying, my parents are the ones who gave birth to me, Ning is the one who makes me rich!

To put it bluntly, it’s just like the lines in the skit that Pace performed. "I, Wang Laowu, have never seen so much money..."

No one could look at ease after receiving the dividends, everyone was so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

Yang Feng, Jiang Dachun, Xu Chunyan, Xiao Cha, and Dai Hong, the five team leaders of the kitchen, are all high-fiving each other. This was a method they had learned from Maxim's French cooks to express excitement.

Even as a foreign aid.

Like Master Wu from Emei Hotel, although he tried hard to control his excitement and smiled lightly on the surface, his calloused hands were trembling a little.

Not for anything else, just because he got the most money.

One and a half million yen actually!

This huge sum of money, equivalent to ten thousand US dollars, is enough to ensure that his family will completely turn from poverty to wealth, and everyone will live a good life. A prosperous life that everyone envies.

But he was also a little confused, because Master Liu, who was also a source of foreign aid, how come the red envelope was half less than his?

No matter how conceited he is, he will never think that he really has to get double.

Unexpectedly, before he could ask, Ning Weimin took the initiative to tell him the reason, and actually said this.

"Master Wu, you are different from Master Liu. If you go back to rest, you have to go to Chengde. I promised you there, but I can't let you suffer, right? There is no extra money there. , so I will make up for it for you in advance. If you are willing to come to Japan again in six months, I guarantee that everything will be better than this year. But there is one thing. Don't tell outsiders, otherwise it will be difficult for them to follow the rules here. Especially if it spreads down below, it will cause the army to lose morale, and it will have the opposite effect, to be honest with you, it's me. Here, it’s not easy to tell everyone when I go back. I have to tell them to be strict with their mouths. If anyone asks, just say that it was given by the Japanese shareholders, otherwise all the domestic branches will be in trouble... ..."

Look, how benevolent and righteous, all aspects have been thought of.

This is because he knows that he is at a disadvantage and is not seeking fame or gain, but he still insists on benefiting everyone.

How come there is such a good person? It is so dreamy.

This can happen to me, what is this but luck?

There is really smoke rising from the grave of my ancestors!

Master Wu was really excited and admired him sincerely, but he couldn't show it as it would be beneath the dignity of a chef.

So you need to work hard to exercise restraint and maintain your manners.

In the end, he just held Ning Weimin's hand and said solemnly, "Manager Ning, don't worry, I will definitely come to Japan to work with you in half a year."

This The words are absolutely sworn and the true feelings are revealed.

Just by accident, this old man is a little too strong.

As a result, when he let go, Ning Weimin's hands turned red because he was almost "touched" to tears by his promise.

Master Liu, who came from the source of the material, does not have the emotional burden of Master Wu. The old man has to go back to Tokyo to continue working during the holidays.

So after getting 800,000 yen, he just laughed there and chatted excitedly with Master Wu.

By the way, guess, once the peers and colleagues in their respective units know about this kind of thing.

What expressions will those old guys have on their faces? Will they be jealous of them? Or simply don’t believe it.

As for the two musicians, they were both a master of the show, but they had no time to pay attention to what others thought. Their own minds were almost in a mess.

Because they really didn’t expect that even they would be involved.

Logically speaking, Ning Weimin is willing to pay the Chinese employees of Tan Palace with his own money. This is his own business.

From what perspective, it has nothing to do with them.

They are not even regular workers. Their role in the restaurant is just the icing on the cake, not indispensable. They were originally only envied.

But Ning Weimin did not forget them and gave them a share.

This made the three of them laugh from ear to ear and even their eyes were filled with laughter.

This is a huge asset that they have not even dared to think about.

If this money is brought back to China, everyone will think that it is enough to last them a lifetime!

When they joined Ning Weimin's team, they just wanted to have a chance to go abroad. Now, if they didn't pay attention, they all became rich women.

Especially how old they are, they are all young people who have just left school.

At this moment, the two musician girls couldn't help jumping up and down and cheered, as if they had suddenly become five or six years younger.

Even the noodle maker couldn’t believe it and kept asking others about the Japanese yen exchange rate, fearing that he might have made a mistake.

When it was confirmed that it was correct, the mask maker couldn’t restrain himself anymore.

Immediately he was so happy that he hugged the man who told him that he had indeed made a fortune.

However, this is nothing. In the end, there were two Japanese people who participated in sharing the joy brought by this windfall.

It was the administrator and his wife that Ning Weimin hired to manage the staff dormitory.

Originally, he only hired the husband of the couple, named Keiji Ito.

This person used to be a small owner of a supermarket, but he went bankrupt due to poor management.

Although the retirement age is enough, the pension received is not enough to repay debts, so I can only rely on working to maintain my life.

But later Ning Weimin discovered that the workload was so heavy that he couldn't handle it alone.

After all, he was an old man, so Ning Weimin wanted to hire one more person to share the burden.

However, Keiji Ito took the initiative to recommend his wife Miwa Ito to help.

Because of the gap between men and women, and because the couple hopes to work together, Miwa Ito’s salary requirements are not high.

One third less than men’s salary.

It was naturally a good deal for Ning Weimin, so he agreed.

Unexpectedly, these two people are really dedicated to their work. They are not only responsible for cleaning, but also never lazy.

The key is that he is also very kind to the Huaxia employees, and occasionally cooks some home-cooked dishes for these Huaxia employees to taste.

For this reason, in the minds of the Chinese employees living in the dormitory, this couple is not only very popular, but also has good cooking skills.

Especially Miwa Ito’s mixed spinach, which tastes like home-cooked food, everyone likes it very much.

So when the Spring Festival came, Ning Weimin considered the importance of logistics, and in order to thank and encourage the Ito couple, he also sent an invitation to the two couples to participate in the New Year Party.

And they also gave them red envelopes.

It can be imagined that the old couple must be happy.

They are all bankrupt and in debt. This money can at least allow them to live comfortably for a few days.

Even using it to pay off debts can also relieve a lot of mental stress.

So when they received this money, the reaction of the Ito couple was even worse than that of these Chinese employees.

The couple held Ning Weimin's hand and bowed deeply. His wife Miwa Ito actually shed tears.

Expressing gratitude, saying that Ning Weimin's money can help them pay off some debts and preserve their last bit of dignity.

On the other hand, Ning Weimin was still a little sad on his happy day, and he comforted him again and again.

However, this move also touched those Japanese employees.

To be honest, this aspect of distributing money has little to do with the personal interests of Japanese employees, so they actually don't care.

The kind that doesn't envy or envy.

After all, the income of Huaxia employees is too small compared to theirs. They only get such a red envelope during the Spring Festival, so how can it compare with their twice-yearly bonuses?

Applause and so on, of course, are just superficial behaviors due to the fact that he is holding Ning Weimin's job and giving it politely.

On the contrary, there are some filthy philistine people who still feel a little contempt and ridicule in their hearts.

What I despise is that the Chinese people have too low requirements and are so happy with a little money.

The person he was laughing at was Ning Weimin, an idiot. How can there be such a fool who uses his own dividends to supplement others?

But the administrator couple are Japanese after all.

As the saying goes, a rabbit dies and a fox grieves when something harms its own kind.

The Ito couple’s heartfelt gratitude and Ning Weimin’s approach of treating everyone equally touched many Japanese employees.

Perhaps it reminded them of their parents, or perhaps it reminded them of the day when they would not be able to survive. Such kind deeds and benevolence without any profit purpose also moved them.

From this moment on, their applause became more sincere. (End of this chapter)
