Chapter 217: Meijia's Future Development Direction! PUA Employers! Subjective Evaluations!
Tens of millions?
Hearing Su Yang's words, the eyes of the group lit up.
Most of them had only worked in medium-sized housekeeping companies before.
Tens of millions was a massive amount of capital to them!
"Boss, roughly how much base salary can we give them?"
"How much do you think is appropriate?"
Tu Zhiqiang replied with a smile, "Actually, a base salary of two thousand is enough. If we hire formal employees, they'll mainly rely on commissions!"
Su Yang looked toward the other three—Fan Jianlong, Song Shifang, and Geng Huayan—and they all nodded.
Song Shifang added, "Paying for their social security is already quite good!"
Tu Zhiqiang supplemented, "The vast majority of nannies on the market are temporary workers without a fixed salary, and housekeeping companies certainly don't pay for their social security. If there's a base salary, I can sign a batch of relatively professional, high-quality nannies."
"Mhm! That works!"
Su Yang nodded.
Fan Jianlong, Song Shifang, and Geng Huayan also expressed that they could help the company screen for a batch of high-quality nannies.
Even if these high-quality nannies currently had jobs, they could be poached!
After all, they all had connections in the local housekeeping service industry.
Tu Ziqiang asked again, "Also, Boss, can we go to your other companies to promote ourselves?"
"Of course!"
He hadn't expected Tu Ziqiang to already be eyeing the employees of his other companies.
There were indeed people in those companies who could afford nannies!
Nanny salaries in Rongcheng weren't as exaggerated as in other places; generally, they ranged from six thousand to ten thousand.
Fan Jianlong also asked from the side, "Boss, can we go to your gym and promote to the gym's customers?"
"Yes!" Su Yang said curiously, "Have you all checked?"
"We've checked!"
"Checked!"
...
The other executives all nodded as well.
Fan Jianlong laughed, "It's all published on the official website. I think the high-end clients at the gym can definitely afford nannies. Also, those lawyers' incomes should be very high, right? They must be very busy normally."
Song Shifang also said, "And Spark Media—those influencers seem to have decent incomes. If they're busy with work, they might also need nannies to take care of them... They can also help us with promotion!"
Geng Huayan added, "If we recruit people for training, I think we can recruit the family members of employees from the Boss's other companies. These people should be more trustworthy... for example, the family members of employees at the Jiuxiang Food Snack Factory!"
...
In fact, Su Yang had roughly thought of these things before starting the housekeeping company.
He had indeed unknowingly accumulated a large pool of usable networking resources.
Even if he couldn't use them, the housekeeping company certainly could!
However, he hadn't thought of the idea of recruiting employees' family members as nannies!
But Geng Huayan was right; if employees' family members were willing to be nannies,
they would indeed be more trustworthy!
Moreover, her targeting of Jiuxiang Food workers' family members was quite precise.
In China, jobs like being a nanny that involve serving people do indeed seem somewhat inferior!
Generally, only the family members of ordinary employees and workers are willing to do it.
If they had a choice, who would want their mother or wife to do a job serving others?
If his own mother were to be a nanny for someone else... he would also feel upset!
But sometimes, these jobs are very important for those families.
After all, nowadays, it's a bit difficult to support a whole family relying only on the man.
Marriage, buying a car, buying a house, raising a child, various education and training fees—all sorts of expenses!
After finally raising the child, the child might also need to buy a car or a house... It's exhausting just thinking about it!
Furthermore, housekeeping services don't just have high requirements for the practitioners.
In fact, some employers might also have issues!
When encountering a nitpicking employer, service personnel like nannies will indeed be mistreated!
Su Yang could guarantee the moral level of the housekeeping company's service personnel, but he couldn't quite guarantee the moral level of the employers.
Don't think that having money means having morals... that's completely overthinking it!
Some wealthy people treat others even less like human beings.
On the contrary, middle-class families might be a bit better to nannies!
For instance, Jiuxiang Catering often encounters difficult customers.
But the ordinary employees of Jiuxiang Catering just have to endure it and it'll pass; after all, those customers don't live in the shop every day.
But jobs like being a nanny are different!
They might actually live in the home!
To be honest, when his own restaurant employees were made things difficult for by customers, he felt quite unhappy!
He thought for a moment and asked, "If we encounter those nitpicking, troublesome, and ill-tempered employers, we should be able to just blacklist them, right?"
Tu Ziqiang and the others looked at each other.
Good grief!
The housekeeping company's business hadn't even unfolded yet, and the boss was already considering blacklisting employers!
Truly... farsighted and calculating!
Tu Ziqiang nodded, "That is indeed possible!"
"Good!" Su Yang thought for a bit and said, "We must have strict requirements for our employees, but internally we can also rate the customers. If a customer has a long-term partnership and the nannies rate them highly, we can definitely offer some concessions!"
"When they want to hire a maternity matron, we can recommend the best ones!"
"Doesn't housekeeping service also include various appliance repairs, pipe unclogging, and other services? We can give certain discounts to highly-rated customers!"
"I have a gym and hotpot restaurants. Maybe we can give them free gym trial cards and hotpot coupons. Perhaps I can open a high-end Sichuan restaurant to give them better benefits; that would make it seem more high-class!"
"During holidays, we can also consider sending them small gifts. The beef snack gift packs produced by my food company are quite good!"
"I also have an ingredient company and a professional nutritional meal supply company. They should be interested in pollution-free green vegetables, fruits, or nutritional meals, right?"
"I also have a law firm that can provide discounted legal consultation services!"
"Anyway, people who can afford nannies definitely won't be doing too badly financially, right?"
"If they need to find a job, they can also come work at my companies. If their rating is high, their character should be decent... though the salaries my companies can provide might not be high enough!"
...
At this point, Su Yang suddenly noticed that Tu Ziqiang and the others were all staring at him blankly.
"Is there a problem?"
"No! No!" Tu Ziqiang quickly shook his head, "I think the Boss's ideas are excellent!"
"Yes, excellent!" Geng Huayan nodded repeatedly. "This kind of differentiated service that's distinct from ordinary housekeeping companies on the market will make it easier for Meijia to stand out. It can also help the Boss's other companies pull in business!"
"The pollution-free green vegetables, fruits, and nutritional meals are quite attractive!" Song Shifang smiled. "At the very least, they've attracted me!"
Fan Jianlong: "Boss, are you planning to move toward the high-end market?"
"It's not moving toward the high-end market, just providing high-end services to high-quality customers!" Su Yang shook his head and continued, "We not only have to look at the salary offered by the employer but also their character... though that seems a bit complicated!"
"But Boss, offering concessions based on customer ratings might actually affect the employees providing services to other employers," Song Shifang reminded softly. "If other customers find out about this, they might put pressure on our employees. If they don't get a good rating, they'll think the nanny has a problem with them... over time, this rating system might become a mere formality!"
Fan Jianlong nodded, "Boss, Manager Song is right. This matter does need careful consideration!"
"That seems true!"
After Song Shifang's reminder, Su Yang suddenly realized he had indeed taken things for granted.
But he didn't mind; he was just mentioning it casually!
He knew his own limits and never claimed to be some kind of genius!
Generally speaking, he still strongly encouraged his executives to fully exercise their subjective initiative.
Geng Huayan said with a smile, "Boss, I think this rating system can still be kept and implemented!"
Su Yang asked curiously, "How so?"
The others also looked at Geng Huayan.
Geng Huayan said slowly, "We can stretch this rating period to half a year—for example, only evaluating once every six months... We should be mysterious about it, only inadvertently revealing to customers that the rating for high-end clients is very strict, saying it's related to the family atmosphere and the quality of family members. But as long as an employer hires our employees for more than half a year, we upgrade them all to high-end clients... Wouldn't they be very happy?"
Su Yang was stunned for a moment!
This... was playing a bit of a clever game!
Song Shifang pursed her lips and smiled, "Does this count as PUA-ing the employers?"
"This is also a way to raise the class!" Tu Ziqiang laughed. "Actually, high-end services all involve a bit of PUA-ing the customers to make them feel the money is well spent. This also provides emotional value!"
"For long-term employers, we can indeed offer some concessions. In fact, it doesn't matter if they're truly 'high-end' or not!" Fan Jianlong nodded. "And families that can hire our company's employees for long-term housekeeping services should all be considered high-quality customers, as long as there aren't major issues."
...
Everyone chatted with increasing interest, and by the time they snapped out of it, it was already noon.
Su Yang directly treated several of them to a meal!
This discussion was also extremely productive, roughly deciding the development direction of Meijia Housekeeping.
Overall, Su Yang was very satisfied.
At least the abilities of these executives were up to par; they were, after all, hand-picked by him!
And after a round of discussion, Su Yang increasingly believed that the housekeeping service industry had great potential.
No massive giant companies had really formed domestically yet.
It also matched the resources of his other companies, allowing for mutual promotion and development!
After the meal, Su Yang had them go and draft a recruitment list for positions!
If there were suitable low or middle-management roles,
he would prioritize selecting veteran employees from other companies who had outstanding abilities but hadn't received promotions.
Giving capable employees promotions and raises and opening up advancement channels for veteran employees was also quite important.
If there were truly no suitable candidates, then they would recruit from society.
In any case, the business hadn't started yet, so they could take their time.
Back in the office, Su Yang finally opened the system notifications; he hadn't had time to check them just now!
[Ding~ You now own a housekeeping service company. You have your first employee. You have received an achievement reward: 1 Strength Point; the housekeeping service company under your name can obtain a permanent buff.]
[1. Service Effect Enhancement, 2. Housekeeping Service Culinary Skill Enhancement, 3. Housekeeping Service Cleaning Ability Enhancement, 4. Housekeeping Service Caretaking Ability Enhancement, 5. Housekeeping Service Homework Tutoring Enhancement, 6. Communication Ability Enhancement, 7. Affinity Enhancement...]
Without almost any hesitation, Su Yang excluded options 2, 3, 4, and 5.
These kinds of skill effect enhancements weren't particularly useful.
He just needed to hire employees who already had strong abilities!
Finally, Su Yang focused his gaze on Service Effect Enhancement, Communication Ability Enhancement, and Affinity Enhancement!
[Service Effect Enhancement: When your employees provide high-quality service, it is easier to gain the customer's favor.]
[Communication Ability Enhancement: Enhances the communication skills between employees and employers.]
[Affinity Enhancement: Makes employees more approachable and easier to gain the favor of the employer and their family members.]
Su Yang hadn't seen this special buff, "Service Effect Enhancement," for the first time.
The last time it appeared was when the number of Jiuxiang Catering employees surpassed one thousand, and he chose it as Jiuxiang Catering's third special buff.
But this time, it also became one of Su Yang's priority options!
The housekeeping service industry is quite unique.
If the employer thinks you're good, then you're good, even if there are some areas where you didn't do perfectly!
No matter how well you do, if the employer thinks you're not good, then you're not good!
Evaluations are extremely subjective!
