Chapter 155 Reducing Employee Work Enthusiasm

"Which barista wouldn't want to own a coffee shop?"

Su Dan's eyes were filled with fantasy; her dream was to run a coffee shop. Of course, this coffee shop wasn't one of those commercial chain coffee shops, but a true boutique coffee shop.

Every cup of coffee could be made according to the customer's taste, creating different kinds of coffee.

Hearing Teacher Su's answer, Song Xia felt there was a good opportunity.

Boss Chen had sent her here to learn coffee techniques and then return to manage the coffee shop.

However, after a few days of learning, she discovered that if she only trained for a month, she would only learn the most basic things.

It would be fine for opening an ordinary coffee shop, but to open the kind of boutique coffee shop Boss Chen mentioned, it would be somewhat unsatisfactory.

To become a seasoned barista, one needs constant practical operation and training.

And after her one-month training, she would have to start working immediately; there would simply be no time for her to practice and train.

So, after much deliberation, she finally thought of a solution.

Since she couldn't become a seasoned barista in a short time, she would just hire one.

And this Teacher Su was her target.

"Teacher Su, I have an opportunity here for you to run a coffee shop. I wonder if you'd be willing to give it a try?"

"If it's just one of those fast-paced commercial chain coffee shops, then forget it; I'm not interested."

Su Dan looked at Song Xia and shook her head. If it were that kind of commercial chain coffee shop, it would be very easy for her to do if she wanted to.

It would be nothing more than paying a franchise fee and then decorating a storefront; that would basically be it.

"Teacher Su, of course it's not that kind of commercial coffee, but boutique coffee."

"Oh! Are you planning to hire me to be the store manager?"

"It's like this: currently, I am the store manager of this shop. However, if Teacher Su comes over, all matters regarding the shop can be arranged by Teacher Su in the future, and I will just be Teacher Su's student. Furthermore, our boss will open branches, and when that time comes, I can recommend you, Teacher Su, to be the store manager of a branch."

"Moreover, the equipment for the coffee shop hasn't been purchased yet. I don't know much about these things, nor do I know what kind of machines a boutique coffee shop needs to prepare. If Teacher Su comes over, you can purchase coffee machines and other equipment entirely according to your own ideas."

"However, the only drawback is that before Teacher Su becomes a branch manager, you won't have the salary and benefits of a store manager."

Song Xia briefly explained the situation regarding the coffee shop.

As for purchasing the coffee machines and other equipment, Boss Chen had already entrusted it to her, asking her to submit the list of equipment to be purchased before the coffee shop's renovation was completed.

It was just that she didn't know much about coffee-related things, so she wanted to wait until she had trained for a while and understood coffee better before deciding which machines to purchase.

However, if Teacher Su could join the coffee shop, she could completely hand it over to Teacher Su to handle, and relatively speaking, it would be more professional.

Su Dan fell silent upon hearing this.

Her original plan was to work as a coffee training instructor for a few more years, and after saving enough money, invest in her own coffee shop.

However, opening a coffee shop by oneself carries a great deal of risk.

If there really was a boss investing in boutique coffee and letting her be the store manager, that would undoubtedly be the best choice.

After all, the main reason she liked opening a coffee shop wasn't to start a business to make money. Rather, she really liked drinking coffee, liked the process of taking different coffee beans and making coffee with different flavors. She liked the atmosphere of a boutique coffee shop and that slow-paced vibe.

Over the years, she had also looked for a few boutique coffee shops, but undoubtedly, the owners of the coffee shops always acted as the store managers themselves and didn't need any other store managers.

So, Song Xia's proposal just now made her somewhat tempted.

"Although she wouldn't be the store manager, if she went over, she could purchase coffee machines and other equipment according to her ideas, and the arrangements in the coffee shop would also follow her lead. Apart from the salary and benefits, this was basically no different from being a store manager."

"This was undoubtedly the best way to fulfill her dream."

Su Dan thought for a long time before finally looking up at Song Xia.

"I'll think about it."

"Okay."

Song Xia nodded. She didn't think she could persuade the other party directly, but there was plenty of time; she could take it slow.

Time passed, and soon it was the end of October.

Inside the Garment factory office, after Chen Mo simply signed a few documents, he felt somewhat leisurely and had nothing to do.

After this period of hard work, everything was proceeding according to his expectations.

Now, the renovation work was already nearing its end.

After all, there were three renovation teams working simultaneously, so the three renovation sites were progressing very quickly.

"Boss Chen, the workshop renovation is finished. Would you like to go over and take a look?"

Shen Rou walked over and said.

"Oh, the workshop renovation is finished? Let's go over and take a look."

Arriving at the workshop.

From a distance, he could see Jiang Cheng and Li Shen standing at the workshop entrance. Li Shen was holding a mobile phone; he should be filming the environment inside the workshop.

What is there to film in a workshop?

Chen Mo didn't understand, so he took Shen Rou and walked over.

"Boss Chen, hello!"

"Boss Chen, hello!"

Hearing footsteps, Li Shen and Jiang Cheng simultaneously noticed Boss Chen walking over and hurriedly greeted him.

"Hmm, how is the renovation inside?"

Chen Mo nodded slightly, his gaze following the workshop entrance, looking inside.

What came into view was the shiny green floor paint, flat and smooth. Then there were the ceiling lights and the central air conditioning.

"Boss Chen, I have already asked someone to check it, and I also went over to check frequently during the renovation. The renovation is very good, there are no problems."

"I have already contacted the Mechanical Factory. Tomorrow, they will be able to deliver the ordered machines, and then we can put them into the new workshop, and it will be able to operate normally."

Jiang Cheng, hearing Boss Chen's inquiry, hurriedly replied.

Thinking that the new workshop could be put into use tomorrow, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmm."

Chen Mo nodded, lifted his foot, and walked into the workshop, looking around carefully.

His gaze stopped on the clean, empty wall, and he suddenly thought of how to reduce the employees' work enthusiasm.

Thinking of the slogans from the previous sports meet, he could totally use them here.

When the employees see those slogans with negative connotations, they will definitely be able to understand what his intention is.

After walking a circle inside the workshop, he turned and went back.

"Li Shen, come with me to the office. I have something to arrange for you to do."

"All right, Boss Chen."

Upon hearing this, Li Shen followed behind with a joyful face.

Arriving at the office, under Boss Chen's instruction, he sat in front of the desk.

And Boss Chen took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote on it.

After a while, Chen Mo looked at the series of slogans he had written and nodded with satisfaction. These slogans of his were subtle enough, right?

He handed the paper with the written slogans to Li Shen.

"Make the sentences on the paper into slogan boards, then hang them on the workshop walls. The slogan boards must be large, preferably occupying the entire wall, so that when employees are working, they can see the slogan boards as soon as they look up."

"All right, Boss Chen."

Li Shen took the paper and looked curiously at the sentences on it.
