"You have to open a branch and recruit new employees, which gives me a very heavy job." Although Blake said this, his tone seemed very relaxed, and he continued to joke: "I have done so much Live, you have to give me a raise next year!"
"How about I give you a 5% dividend next year after we finish the new store?" Dai Li asked with a serious look on his face.
Blake looked at Dai Li's serious expression and realized that Dai Li was not joking. He was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Li, you are really a generous boss."
Dai Li is very satisfied with Blake's work performance. As a professional manager, Blake has delivered a perfect score in the past period, and the business volume and popularity of the training center have also been greatly increased. From this point of view, it is indeed a right decision to leave professional matters to professionals.
Giving Blake 5% of the shares was Xiao Yunan's suggestion. Xiao Yunan was indeed much better than Dai Li in terms of how to be a boss. Xiao Yunan had the ability to manage a company worth hundreds of billions. She casually gave Li Dai one or two tips, and that was it. It will be enough for Dai Li to use for a long time.
To play the role of a good boss, it is not necessary to do everything personally, nor to have strong professional skills. Learning how to use talents is the key. For a talent like Blake, instead of giving him a salary increase, it is better to give him some shares. With the dividends, he will naturally work harder to run the training center.
The 5% dividend on dry shares obviously also stimulated Blake, and his mood instantly became excited. He just heard him say: "As for the location of the branch, I suggest opening it near the university. If necessary, we can go nearby renting university facilities, such as athletics fields. This can save us a lot of money."
"Okay, let's do what you said." Dai Li changed his voice and continued, "I'm going back to China in a few days, so I'll leave this to you."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door, and then Taylor walked in.
"Lee, do you have time? I want to talk to you." Taylor said.
Blake stood up wisely: "Then I'll go out first."
After Blake left, Dai Li and Taylor were the only two people left in the room.
"Lee, I've thought about it clearly. I plan to open a boxing gym." Taylor seemed a little reserved, but he looked very serious.
Dai Li stared at Taylor in surprise: "Are you going to teach others to box? This is a pretty good idea. With your status as a super boxing champion, you should attract a lot of people."
"No, you misunderstood me. I don't intend to make money. I want to open a boxing gym and teach children in juvenile detention centers to practice boxing for free." Taylor said.
"Like what Anji did to you back then?" Dai Li asked immediately.
Taylor took a deep breath and nodded: "You know, I have been in a juvenile detention center, so I know that the children there are not all bad people. Many of them have lost their parents, so Going down the wrong path. If someone could give those kids the right guidance, they would get better."
"So you want to open a boxing gym and teach them to box and become boxing champions like you?" Dai Li's expression became serious.
Taylor nodded: "Compared to them, I am lucky. I met Angie. He took me out of the labor camp and taught me boxing, so I became Taylor the boxing champion, not Taylor the drug addict, Taylor the smuggler, Robber Taylor... It has been more than ten years since Angie left me, but I understand Angie more and more and everything he did back then. He chose to help me because he didn't want me to go astray or become a A criminal, turned into a scum, and then was put in jail, or was shot in the head in a street shootout. As for whether I can become a boxing champion, it doesn't matter. Practice boxing, it's just that he found a way for me. A serious thing to do, so that I can have something to do and not be idle.”
Taylor took a deep breath again, this time his expression became more melancholy: "So I don't expect to train a second boxing champion, I don't even expect to train a second professional boxer. I just hope Inherit Angie’s last wish and complete what he did not complete. I can find something to do for those lost children, such as formal boxing training, so that they will not be exposed to crime or drugs, at least give them a chance, An opportunity to grow up and be able to support yourself with your own hands without committing any crime."
Dai Li glared at Taylor in surprise. In Dai Li's impression, Taylor was the kind of rough-and-tumble boss with a simple mind and well-developed limbs who acted impulsively and without regard for the consequences. However, at this time, Dai Li discovered that he did not understand Taylor at all, and that Taylor could have such a noble side.
"Taylor actually chose to be Angie's successor after he became famous." Dai Li couldn't help but start to admire Taylor in his heart.
Taylor then said: "Although I am a boxer, I don't know anything about opening a boxing gym, and I don't have the manpower, so I want to ask for your help."
"What do you need from me? Just ask!" Dai Li said.
"After my boxing gym opens, I want to borrow some people from you to at least help me run the boxing gym normally. You know, I won't be able to find suitable talents to manage the boxing gym for a while. "Tyler said.
"No problem, let me think about it..." Dai Li thought about the candidates and then said: "Jones, Payton, and Tiger, you all know these three people, just pick one. These coaches in my training hall Among them, these three are all of good quality and have the ability to take charge of their own business. When I open a branch in the future, I plan to choose one of these three to be the store manager."
"Then lend me Chris Payton! I'm familiar with him." Taylor said.
"You have really good vision... But having said that, if it weren't for Payton, I wouldn't have been caught in the police station, and we wouldn't have been locked up in the same detention room..."
Taylor suddenly interrupted Dai Li: "Can you not mention that incident? It is really a very embarrassing memory for me."
…
The words "Kevin Taylor Boxing Gym" were written on the huge signboard, and there was a cartoon avatar of Kevin Taylor next to it.
"I never expected that Kevin would choose to retire when he was back at the top, and then open a boxing gym, and it was a boxing gym that only recruited those bad boys, and those were troubled kids." Iris As he spoke, he gently patted the back of the hand of an elderly woman next to him.
She is Iris's wife. She was once paralyzed and can now walk with a cane. Today she accompanied her husband to the opening of the boxing gym.
"Iris, Taylor has retired. I congratulate you for retiring again. What are you going to do next?" Dai Li turned his head and asked, "If you are willing, you can continue to stay in my training center. "
"If you want to continue working, what is retirement?" Iris shook his head: "In the past two years, I have received a good salary from Taylor. I plan to use this money to bring my My wife is going to travel around the world. What do you think of the first stop, the Great Wall?"
"Are you going to travel to my motherland? How long do you plan to stay there?" Dai Li asked with interest.
"What do you think of two weeks?" Iris held out two fingers.
"If you just take a quick tour, it should be enough. In two weeks, you should be able to see some more representative scenic spots." Dai Zheng said as he happened to see Chris Payton walking not far away. come over.
"Chris, are you getting used to the new working environment?" Dai Li asked with a smile.
"They are all troubled kids. Almost all of them have been to juvenile detention centers. There are also a few kids with gang backgrounds, but I can handle it. I also grew up in that kind of environment." Payton answered. road.
"That's true." Dai Li patted Peyton on the shoulder, and then said: "Work hard and help Taylor build a boxing gym. When our new store opens in two months, I will retain a store manager. The position is given to you.”
