Chapter 1245 - 1247
Sometimes Gong Ruini finds it quite depressing when she thinks about it. You say one or two leaving is because they have their own career plans.
But so many people leaving, that really is an issue with her judgment.
"I’m not stingy, I don’t offer low salaries."
"I even planned that once they can truly stand on their own, I could offer them a share of the school’s profits."
These are things Gong Ruini had thought out long ago; she can’t just eat meat freely while her subordinates only smell it and sip soup.
The idea is good. In this respect, Zhao Xuran can’t say Gong Ruini is stingy. "Did you mention it to them?"
Gong Ruini shook her head, "Mainly because the current expansion speed isn’t considered fast."
"What do you mean by fast?" Zhao Xuran was speechless, given the current situation, he thinks the development is good. At least not only in Beijing, but quite a few places nearby know Ni Zi’s tutorial classes are doing well.
No one knows how many branch schools the tutoring school has opened, "You have to know that tutoring schools are different from factories."
"Opening a factory, not to mention you need technology or whatever, at least whether you build a factory building or rent one, buying equipment and such, the money invested is not a small number." When anyone leaves, could they really set up a factory?
Of course not, they only have so much money on hand. If they really want to set up a factory, they need to find investors.
Then their shareholding would still be little, and they’d still have to listen to others. "They can’t guarantee they’ll definitely make money."
Many people say they’re riding the wave, but how many of those riding the wave ended up making big money?
It’s not that Zhao Xuran looks down on them; it’s just that they really haven’t stood up and shown signs of overtaking.
"Rather than gambling on an uncertain future, they’d be better off following me, I’m not stingy either."
"For instance, when I’ve told them, the factory is private and won’t have welfare housing, but they can buy apartments at a low price, which are their own personal assets. How do you think they will feel?"
Zhao Xuran knows he can’t possibly talk to them about future retirement issues or housing allocation, but he can enhance worker welfare from another perspective.
"Now there are more and more private enterprises, state enterprises aren’t doing well, and the country can’t possibly keep dragging these poorly performing state enterprises forward; reform is inevitable."
"Private enterprises are developing well now, but many have concerns and are unwilling to work for them, mainly worrying about future retirement issues."
"To solve the employment problem for more unemployed workers, I think the country will certainly reform on this retirement issue, maybe similar to abroad." As the factory has developed to this point, Zhao Xuran deeply feels there are significant deficiencies on the worker side.
It’s not about low wages or lack of work, but too many people think state enterprises will at least handle their old-age issues, while Zhao Xuran can’t promise them regarding retirement.
"Many state enterprises actually develop well and feeding active workers is easy, but once you add a huge number of retired workers and a large amount of medical expenses, how many state enterprises do you think can bear it?"
Although Zhao Xuran hasn’t worked in a state enterprise or managed a large state enterprise, he doesn’t really worry; he can discuss this topic with Gong Ruwen.
Gong Ruini listened in a daze. These issues, although not thoroughly erupted, are already showing signs.
Someone who constantly pays attention to economic situations, if Zhao Xuran hadn’t noticed them, Gong Ruini would find it puzzling.
But unexpectedly, he has researched this stuff so deeply, really quite impressive.
"I discussed these matters with Rui Wen and benefited greatly." Gong Ruini was dumbfounded, and Zhao Xuran thought she was wondering if what he said is true.
"However, it seems the higher-ups are researching this matter now, but waiting for them to come up with results will take time." After all, this isn’t a joking matter, even if it says to solve private enterprise workers’ retirement issues.
But actually, there are many issues, "If there’s a solution for post-retirement life in private enterprises, fewer people will go to state enterprises later."
No matter how good the benefits are, it also depends on the efficiency of the state enterprise. If there’s no work to do and people are idling every day, how much can one earn? Private enterprises are busy, yes, but they make more money.
"Even if the state is generous, it can’t keep supporting the loss-making, non-profiting state enterprises. Maybe by then, some factories might directly go bankrupt; those who thought entering a state enterprise would mean a stable life might be completely shocked."
Zhao Xuran couldn’t help but recall the time when he tried to recruit a tech expert, and the person’s contemptuous attitude. Zhao Xuran remembered it clearly.
The person directly rejected the offer to work for a private company. Zhao Xuran wasn’t angry because it’s a two-way choice, but the person’s arrogant manner made Zhao Xuran feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing Zhao Xuran’s grumpy face, Gong Ruini recalled him being humiliated previously and chuckled, "Okay, didn’t you later find someone better?"
"It can’t conceal the injury from being rejected and looked down upon." Zhao Xuran said sullenly, "Well, forget it. Why think so much, what’s the point?"
"I think you should talk to those people about profit sharing; mainly because the investment in starting a training school is small. Low investment, high returns, overall low risk; who wouldn’t be willing to try?"
"Once successful, the money earned can be quite substantial; back then, those who became independent had losses and profits too." Zhao Xuran of course wouldn’t carefully investigate each case.
But it definitely attracts people to keep starting their own training schools because there must be examples of profit, or why would they leave such good jobs?
Gong Ruini nodded, "Actually, the majority failed."
"But some succeeded, right? Investment can be one thousand or five hundred. Do you think it’s pressure for them?"
"Of course, there’s pressure too, it’s also their several years’ wages, but they all think they will definitely succeed and make money."
"I know, mainly when they leave, they could take teachers with them, though core teachers can’t be poached." Gong Ruini felt quite relieved about this.
Luckily, to pull in more teachers initially, she signed contracts with a fairly high labor settlement fee with them, otherwise, they definitely wouldn’t be willing to stay here.
"Then also give teachers a share of the profits."
Giving teachers a share of the profits makes Gong Ruini a bit hesitant because the labor compensation she provides the teachers, when seriously calculated, is not a small amount. If she has to calculate further profit sharing, Gong Ruini feels like these ancients might earn less than the teachers.
Even if Gong Ruini is reluctant, thinking of the school’s miserable state after the teachers get poached, she has no choice but to agree despite her reluctance.
Humph, although the industry we entered has a low entry threshold, it absolutely won’t be in the future. We need to enter high-end sectors that can’t be easily imitated.
