Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

“No guarantees needed.”

"what?"

"You don't need to guarantee that there won't be any problems." Cao Wei repeated, "First of all, you have to make one thing clear. No one can guarantee that there won't be any problems."

“When problems arise, solving them is the key.”

"Then there comes another question: how to manage it."

"Construction team, are you familiar with it?"

Cao Leyao shook her head.

"How long do you think it would take if you had to understand every process in detail, from raw materials to design, decoration, and even obtaining land to build a house..."

"I have no idea."

"Five years." Cao Wei stretched out his hand and said, "I think that in any industry, it takes at least five years to learn and gain familiarity. A shorter time of three years is not impossible."

"We have breeding, factories, transportation, and construction in our Samadhi Building. We may also open a foreign trade business in the future. How many five years do you think you will have to work in this field? Moreover, even if you are familiar with it, how big is the gap between you and those old people who have been immersed in this industry for decades?"

"Then everything I have done is meaningless?"

"Well, the emperor is a meaningless existence." Cao Wei shrugged: "Think about it carefully, how much do you have? What can you do?"

"I was able to get to where I am today because of good luck. Jingru is also a genius in math. At least, when she was around, there were no mistakes in the accounts of our Samadhi House. And to be frank, there is no other chef in the world who can compare with me. Your sister E brought the first start-up capital."

"And now that the Samadhi Tower is up, the work of the three of us has become easier. Do you know what this means?"

"what?"

"To some extent, Samadhi Tower no longer needs us."

"We are like the pilot. When there is nothing to do on weekdays, we rely on automatic cruise control. Only when something really happens, or when a problem is discovered, will your value be reflected."

"As for whether the people below cheat or not, that's a small matter."

"My value in the early days was my cooking skills, but now it's meeting needs. Because the scale is so large, I have distributed a lot of things. What I care about is not how much money these companies can make, but whether they can realize their ideals and revenge."

Cao Wei sighed: "Only by passing down the satisfaction of spiritual needs from generation to generation can we prevent this ship from going astray, but this is difficult."

"This is a contradiction." Lou Xiao'e also sighed.

Cao Leyao looked confused and didn't understand.

"What your father meant is that the company is gradually moving towards capitalism, and everything is profit-oriented."

"No, we are talking about something wrong." Qin Jingru changed the subject: "Yaoyao wants to know what she should do."

"What should we do? This is easy." Cao Wei chuckled, "Hold Samadhi Tower. All the companies, even those that are separated, will be centered on Samadhi Tower."

"What about the others?" Cao Leyao asked.

"As for the rest, just let them do whatever they want. When filing accounts every year, you can look at the 'financial report' and give more to those who earn more. As for any expansion plans or how they want to do it, let their person in charge do it. Don't worry about it. As long as they can meet the development needs of Samadhi Building, that's fine."

"What if?"

"There's nothing to worry about." Cao Wei shook his head. "From me, to your uncle Wei and your learned brother, they all hope that Samadhi Tower will get better and better. Others will help you keep an eye on it. If there is really a problem, it will be obvious."

"How do you know?"

"It's nothing more than looking at the general trend." Lou Xiao'e interjected: "For example, the government supports business and individual economy, so the profit of opening a restaurant is roughly one restaurant per profit. In the past two years, people began to pay attention to food hygiene issues and set up a special operation team. This will lead to a decrease in the number of restaurants opened during this period."

"Even if it is opened, it will face a series of troubles."

“This is called the general trend.”

"Based on the general trend, we can roughly know the environment they need to face. For example, this year we said we would support the individual economy and offer various policy benefits. If the revenue of other restaurants this year is not as good as last year, then it means there is a problem."

"You have to make your own judgment about the market." Lou Xiao'e raised a finger. "Which industry is thriving? Which industry is gradually changing? What kind of notice do you need to issue for them to deal with this change? These are all problems. When your father said don't worry about it, he meant when the general manager there is of high enough level. Don't worry about it."

"If your level is lower..."

"She can't manage it either."

"Dad~" Cao Leyao was unhappy: "I haven't even taken care of it yet, why are you saying I can't take care of it?"

"You are not familiar with that industry, and neither am I, so I never interfere. I always give whatever is needed, as long as the other party can meet my expectations. If you ask me, don't learn from your sister E and treat everyone as an imaginary enemy."

"Standard Huang-Lao doctrine." Qin Jingru nodded aside.

Cao Leyao felt like her brain was about to explode.

Okay, after talking about this and that, what is the final result?

"Don't you understand? If you don't understand, then learn more. Do it while you are thinking. It's impossible to understand it right away. If you do that, you will become a monster."

"You are quite a monster."

Cao Leyao: …

She felt like she had come here unnecessarily. Not only was she confused by what she heard, but she also got to eat a mouthful of dog food.

gone away.

"Look, why are you talking so deeply? She just wants to know what she should do to be able to bear it, and you have figured out the contradiction here?" Qin Jingru sat on Cao Wei's desk curiously, her little feet swinging.

Anyone who has started a business and thinks carefully will find that the so-called business is the same as the ancient dynasties, pioneering and enterprising. Once the external goals are lost, or once they become stable, there will be one "land annexation" after another, and various forces will be formed.

So, how to solve this problem?

Cao Wei didn't figure out the reason.

He never had the chance to think so deeply in his previous life.

Therefore, he still demolished the Samadhi Building. No matter what, let's develop first, and then talk about other things after the development.
