Chapter 99: Public Manager Fan Jinwu
Beijing Commercial Bureau.
Lin Chaoming, director of the Commerce Bureau, who had just returned to the office from Fengze Garden, was also extremely excited at this time.
Fengzeyuan is one of the best restaurants in the city, and its quality is not much worse than that of the Eight Buildings. After more than a year of hard work, I have finally turned Fengzeyuan into a public-private partnership!
In the old city of Beijing, they finally have a decent restaurant, and they will have a place to receive leaders in the future!
"Fan Jinwu!"
Lin Chaoming directly called over Fan Jinwu, the youngest cadre in their Commercial Bureau.
"Fengze Garden is the first public-private partnership restaurant in our city, and it is of great significance. This restaurant will also become a model for other public-private partnerships. You are young, so I want you to be the public manager and run Fengze Garden well. Are you willing to accept this job?"
Fan Jinwu, who was called over, was confused and even a little flattered.
He didn't expect that the director would assign him such an important position.
"Don't worry, Chief. I, Fan Jinwu, will complete the mission!"
After a brief thought, Fan Jinwu stood at attention and expressed his position directly.
Although the work at the Commercial Bureau was good, Fan Jinwu was also well aware of the importance of Fengze Garden. If he could manage this first restructured hotel well, his future would definitely be promising!
Yes, in Fan Jinwu's opinion, Fengze Garden is such a good hotel, no matter who manages it, it will not be too bad. The reason why the leader arranged for him to manage it is to give himself a chance to gild himself!
After completing the task, maybe I can continue to move up!
Thinking of this, Fan Jinwu became excited.
So, the next day, Luan Xuetang brought Fan Jinwu and gathered all the workers in Fengze Garden into the lobby.
"I called everyone here today to announce something to you all."
Luan Xuetang said to everyone,
"From today on, Fengze Garden no longer belongs to me. Instead, it will be managed by the Commerce Bureau of our Sijiu City. Comrade Fan Jinwu is the public manager sent by the Commerce Bureau. From now on, you can contact him for any major or minor matters concerning Fengze Garden. He will be responsible for everything!"
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the lobby.
No one expected that the famous Fengze Garden would change its owner today.
He Daqing, who was standing in the crowd, was also stunned at this moment.
Although I knew that Fengze Garden would eventually be taken over by the government, I didn’t expect it to develop so quickly.
Alas, I just became a supplier of Fengzeyuan, but the boss has changed.
This incident won't affect future business, right?
While He Daqing was thinking, he saw that Fan Jinwu had already started to speak.
"Hello everyone, I am Fan Jinwu."
Fan Jinwu bowed to everyone and said with a smile,
"Times have changed now. We are the representatives of the grassroots people and we are one family with the workers. So, after Fengze Garden is handed over to me for management, everyone's treatment will not only not get worse, but will be better than before. I hope that everyone will work together to run Fengze Garden better and better!"
I have to say that Fan Jinwu is good at speaking. After his speech, he immediately attracted applause from many chefs and employees.
Yes, they had had many conflicts with the shopkeepers before. Everyone knew that Fan Jinwu represented the public. If that was the case, how could he cheat them!
As for He Daqing, he was not impressed by this.
No matter who is the leader, he is just a cook and he just needs to do his job well. Of course, if it does not affect his supply work, it would be even better.
After a brief meeting, Fan Jinwu dismissed everyone and called Zhao Youliang and Accountant Wang to his office.
A new official has three things to do when he takes office. Now as the manager of Fengze Garden, it is natural for me to have a preliminary understanding of the business situation of Fengze Garden.
"Manager Fan, this is our Fengze Garden's purchase list for the past two weeks. Please take a look!"
"Manager Fan, here are our financial account books for the past three months, please take a look!"
Zhao Youliang and Accountant Wang quickly handed over their respective account books to Fan Jinwu.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Fan Jinwu first glanced through the financial account book. When he saw the sharp increase in turnover in recent month, he nodded with satisfaction.
As expected, it is Fengze Garden. The turnover this month is a huge number!
I manage Fengze Garden myself, and I guess it won’t take long before my superiors can see my achievements.
However, when he saw Zhao Youliang's shopping list, he couldn't help but frown.
"Xiao Zhao, why is your procurement cost so high?"
Although Fan Jinwu had never run a restaurant, he had worked in the Commercial Bureau for a year and knew that there were only two ways to make money by doing business.
On the one hand, increase revenue and expand sales.
On the other hand, it is to save money, that is, to reduce costs.
And now, he saw the opportunity from Fengzeyuan's purchase list.
Fengze Garden's turnover is already considerable, and it is not easy to continue expanding it. But if we can work on the cost aspect, won't the profit increase?
Moreover, the price list on the purchase order is indeed ridiculously expensive.
Thinking of this, Fan Jinwu began to question.
"Manager Fan, you don't know something."
Seeing Fan Jinwu's serious look, Zhao Youliang hurriedly explained,
"The reason why our Fengze Garden is so popular is that, in addition to the superb cooking skills of our chefs, we are very strict in selecting ingredients. The reason why these ingredients are expensive is that their quality is better than those on the market!"
"Haha, they're all eggs, why is there such a big difference?"
Fan Jinwu sneered, touched his nose, and looked at Zhao Youliang with a half-smile.
"If I remember correctly, Zhao Youliang, you and Luan Xuetang seem to be distant relatives?"
The new official took office three fires.
Before coming to Fengze Garden, Fan Jinwu had done his homework on Fengze Garden. He knew exactly who was good at what and what the relationship was between them.
In his opinion, capitalist restaurants like Fengzeyuan not only make money by squeezing and exploiting workers, but also have people like Zhao Youliang who use their connections and positions to seek personal gain.
Otherwise, why are the prices on this material list so expensive!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang suddenly became anxious.
"Manager Fan, what do you mean by that? Although Shopkeeper Luan and I are relatives, I am a decent person..."
However, before he could finish his words, Fan Jinwu interrupted him.
"Okay, I'm not interested in your relationship with Luan Xuetang."
Fan Jinwu said coldly,
"Since our Commerce Bureau is now in charge, all previous matters are no longer valid. Everything will be based on our new standards. The procurement matters are unclear and inconvenient to manage. Isn't it just about getting the best ingredients? What's so difficult about that?"
"From now on, I have the final say on purchasing, and you just have to do as I say!"
Zhao Youliang, "..."
He never expected that the first thing the new leader would do was to blame him. How unlucky!
