Chapter 127 Job Positions
"Should we give some of the restaurant's shares to Chen Jianghe so he'll work wholeheartedly for us?"
Jiang Meizhuang thought for a moment and then said.
"And he can't take these shares with him. He can only receive dividends while he's still working at our Xiangmanlou Restaurant."
Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's words, Liang Ming's face showed a look of surprise.
Isn't this just "job-based equity"?
It's worth noting that the "job-based stock option" system didn't become widely known and used by the public until almost 30 years later.
It is only the mid-80s, the nascent stage of the transition from a planned economy to a market economy.
At that time, ordinary people relied on the most basic integrity and quality to make a profit in business.
When businessmen invest in building factories, starting companies, or acquiring properties, they typically hold all the shares themselves.
There aren't many joint-stock companies, let alone the "position-based stock" system proposed by Jiang Meizhuang.
"Sister Meizhuang, your idea is truly unprecedented and will never be seen again!"
Liang Ming was amazed that Jiang Meizhuang could come up with such a forward-thinking shareholding system.
Hearing Liang Ming's praise, Jiang Meizhuang blushed and said, "Brother Liang Ming, stop being so glib. Do you think my idea is feasible?"
"Yes, of course it is possible."
Liang Ming said without hesitation:
"We offer our employees a stock incentive program. Employees can only receive specific stock dividends based on their work performance in that position!"
"Once employees leave the company, they lose the share of the reward. This not only motivates employees but also keeps outstanding employees on our business ship. It's a win-win situation."
"We call these shares 'job shares'."
At this point, Liang Ming paused for a moment and said to Jiang Meizhuang:
“Sister Meizhuang, speaking of my Liang Heiya chain braised food brand, it has actually already implemented this kind of share incentive mechanism.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang immediately became curious.
The idea of "job stock" was just a sudden whim of hers, and she wasn't sure if it could be implemented.
And Liang Ming has already put it into use in his industry?
"Oh? Brother Liang Ming, how did you carry it out?"
Jiang Meizhuang immediately became curious.
"It's actually quite simple. When my braised duck shop chain opens new branches, I give the store managers a portion of their positions as shares..."
Liang Ming briefly explained the matter of distributing shares and dividends to store manager Qin Fang.
He called these shares "job stock"!
After hearing the name of the shares, Jiang Meizhuang's eyes lit up slightly, and she said, "What a great job stock! Brother Liang Ming, you really think of the same thing as me."
"Sister Meizhuang, this shows that we are kindred spirits, a match made in heaven."
Liang Ming grinned and said.
"You rascal..." Jiang Meizhuang blushed slightly and glared at Liang Ming reproachfully.
But she wasn't really angry. She changed the subject and said, "Brother Liang Ming, since you also think this position is good, let's find some time to talk to Chen Jianghe about it?"
"No rush. This position needs to be signed, but we can't just sign it casually..."
Liang Ming shook his head, lowered his voice, and whispered a few words to Jiang Meizhuang.
Jiang Meizhuang felt a warm breeze blowing in, her ears itched, and her face involuntarily flushed.
She suppressed her wandering thoughts and, after listening to Liang Ming's words, hesitated before asking, "Can Chen Jianghe complete this test?"
"If he is truly a capable person, he will definitely be able to accomplish it, and I firmly believe that he can!"
Liang Ming said confidently.
Seeing that Liang Ming had said so, Jiang Meizhuang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Brother Liang Ming, I'll listen to you."
At this point, Jiang Meizhuang seemed to remember something and asked Liang Ming, "Brother Liang Ming, are you opening a branch of your braised duck shop?"
"And what's so strange about the name 'Liang Hei Ya'?"
Liang Ming explained, "Liang Heiya chain braised food brand is the brand name I gave to the braised duck shop."
"In the food and beverage business, the most important thing is the signboard. As long as the signboard is catchy and well-known, there is no need to worry about not having customers."
"For example, Ronghualou Teahouse in the provincial capital, Dexing Restaurant in Luzhou, and Quanjude Roast Duck in Beijing."
"I gave my braised duck shop a unique name so that people would remember it. The weirder the name, the easier it is to remember, don't you think?"
"That's true. I remembered your name, Liang Heiya, after hearing it only once."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang nodded and said.
Finally, she pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Liang Ming, you've already opened a branch of Liang Black Duck braised food, and you haven't mentioned it to me once. Do you still consider me your boyfriend?"
Liang Ming knew Jiang Meizhuang wasn't angry, but he still pinched his ear, giving her an apologetic look.
"Sister Meizhuang, I was wrong. My braised duck shop is opening today, and I came here specifically to invite you to the opening ceremony."
"Is Liang Hei Ya Braised Food opening a new branch today?"
Jiang Meizhuang's face showed a look of great interest as she asked:
"Is there anything delicious?"
"Of course! In addition to braised duck, we've also recently launched braised chicken wings, braised chicken frames, braised chicken legs, as well as braised pig's feet and braised beef..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang's eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Liang Ming, stop talking, let's set off quickly and not delay the opening ceremony of Liang Heiya's branch."
Seeing Jiang Meizhuang's impatient look, Liang Ming was both amused and exasperated.
No wonder so many braised food brands emerged in later generations, yet none of them collapsed due to competition.
This braised food is so appealing that even a mature and sophisticated woman like Jiang Meizhuang can be attracted to it; other young people are even less able to resist its temptation.
After making some preparations, the two drove to Liang Heiya's braised food branch.
……
Ten o'clock in the morning.
At the entrance of Liang Hei Ya's branch, red cloth and green headdresses have been hung up, and a lion dance team is performing energetically in front of the door.
The surrounding neighbors were drawn to the lively commotion, and children ran around in the crowd, picking up the red candies that the host had scattered.
The adults ate the sample braised dishes that Qin Fang had the shop assistants put out at the door.
Although the portion was small, everyone could have a bite. In addition, the spicy and fragrant taste of the braised food made many people want to drink water.
"Wow... Is this braised food? It's so fragrant and spicy, it's really good."
"I know this Liang Hei Ya braised food. There's one right outside the county's No. 1 Middle School, and it's doing really well. This one must be a branch."
"I heard that there are discounts for the opening of this branch. I'll buy a pound or two to take home and let the kids try it."
"Buying a pound or two? Your family's struck it rich!"
The onlookers at the entrance were discussing the matter animatedly.
Undoubtedly, this tasting event made many people remember the taste of Liang Hei Ya's braised dishes.
At this moment, Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang also arrived in front of the Liang Heiya branch.
"Qin Fang, we're not late, are we?" Liang Ming asked with an awkward smile.
"Boss, you're finally here! We're about to start picking the greens in three minutes. If you hadn't come, I would have had to open the business myself."
Qin Fang rolled her eyes at Liang Ming and said irritably.
"It's good that you weren't late, it's good that you weren't late." Hearing Qin Fang's resentful words, Liang Ming smiled awkwardly and said.
Jiang Meizhuang, who was standing to the side, found it quite novel to see how well Liang Ming got along with his employees.
In this era, many industries still relied on master-apprentice relationships, with apprentices working for free for three years, resulting in a very low status for individual labor.
In private companies, employees generally flatter their bosses, and it's rare to see someone like Qin Fang daring to roll their eyes at them.
This also shows that Liang Ming, the boss, is very approachable.
"It's time to pick the greens!"
Qin Fang ignored Liang Ming and turned to shout at the lion dance team.
Upon hearing this, the lion dance troupe members all perked up.
"Hey guys, let's get the green!"
With a soft shout from the leader of the lion dance team, everyone in the team took their positions.
One group beat drums and gongs, while another group picked up the golden lion, ready to seize the green.
Their reward today lies in that green hair.
But at that moment, another, more aggressive drumbeat suddenly came from not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a black lion team emerged from the crowd and charged at the golden lion.
Upon seeing the black lion, Liang Ming's expression immediately darkened.
In the lion dance culture of southern China, the black lion symbolizes fierceness and is generally used when challenging other lion dance establishments.
Regardless of which side sent this Black Lion team, they are definitely up to no good!
really.
The next second, a cold voice followed.
"Sun Xiao, the owner of Huifeng Trading Company, has brought the Huifeng Hongquan Lion Dance Team to congratulate Liang Ming on the grand opening of his new store!"
