Chapter 28 The Prototype of the Points System
Congratulations! Thanks to your hard work, your hotel is now ready to open for business.
However, as a perfect hotel and a conscientious owner, your hotel cannot tolerate issues such as delayed salary payments.
Therefore, you need to further refine your hotel's systems before the hotel officially opens.
Task: "Final preparations before opening."
[Task Description: Within three days, based on the current social environment and needs, please develop basic systems for your hotel, including employee salaries, benefits, security, and promotion paths.]
[Task Reward: Further unlocking of system privileges and more functions, providing stronger support and guarantees for the host to create a perfect hotel.]
Wang Xiao recognized every single word in the system, but when they appeared together, he felt a strange headache.
Employee salaries? No, even in this apocalyptic world, do they still have to be slaves to money?
Even though the system is acting up again, the tasks still need to be done.
Wang Xiao commented that getting something for free is indeed addictive!
Judging from the system's usual practices when recruiting chefs in the past.
Relying on distributing paper money that has lost its value as compensation to employees is likely to fail the system's review process.
Simply fooling around won't work either.
To pass the review, one can only formulate rules according to the system's requirements and the current social environment and needs.
In the apocalypse, what's most important? Of course, it's survival!
This is also everyone's greatest need.
How to survive is something Wang Xiao can refer to.
Whether you live like a rat in a sewer or sleep soundly every night amidst constant danger, these are two completely different ways of living.
This disaster came suddenly, and the emergence of mutated zombies is bound to make human survival more difficult. The desire to find a safe place has become a need for many people.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiao decided to entrust this troublesome matter to two people.
With someone in mind, Wang Xiao ate the lunch that Lu Ran had hastily prepared for him while picking up his communicator and making a call.
"Wei Yan, Wei Yan."
Wei Yan, who was explaining the hotel's rules to Li Shu, immediately picked up the communicator and replied, "Boss, I'm here."
"Come to the cafeteria on the first floor, I need to talk to you."
"Okay, boss, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the call, Wei Yan looked at Xue Wu, who had just finished dealing with Yang Hua.
"Uncle Xue, this is a new employee the boss hired. Could you show him around the hotel and familiarize him with its layout?"
Xue Wu nodded and said, "I understand, you can go now."
After handing over the duties to Xue Wu, Wei Yan rushed to the canteen.
Seeing Wang Xiao having a meal, Wei Yan asked, "Boss, what can I do for you?"
"have a look."
Wang Xiao moved a piece of paper in front of Wei Yan.
"What is this?"
With these questions in mind, Wei Yan began to examine the contents of the document.
Employee compensation (temporarily using a points system), employee benefits (extra points), employee security (post-apocalyptic version of five social insurances and one housing fund), employee promotion channels (promotion based on contribution points)...
At this moment, Wei Yan exhibited the same symptoms as Wang Xiao.
He recognizes each word individually, but when they're put together, he gets a headache!
I thought the boss was just obsessed with opening a hotel, but I never expected him to actually do it...
They're probably the only ones running a hotel in this apocalyptic world.
Seeing Wei Yan put on the mask of pain, Wang Xiao's lips curled up slightly, thinking to himself: Even a top student can't do it!
I thought I would understand what he meant at a glance, but it turned out I had to ask him to explain. It was just so-so, not as good as a college degree!
Wang Xiao asked, "Don't you understand?"
After a moment of silence, Wei Yan said, "I think I understand what you mean. You intend to temporarily use points as the currency for transactions during the hotel's operation."
The question is, how do we define the value that 1 integral can generate?
Wait, you're not planning to let me handle this, are you?
Seeing that Wei Yan understood his meaning, Wang Xiao's smile disappeared.
Okay, he takes back what he just said; the comprehension skills of a top student are indeed quite good.
At least Wei Yan's performance has not disappointed him, and he is able to discover such talent thanks to his discerning eye.
Sure enough, he does have an entrepreneurial talent; at least he's never lost when it comes to judging people.
In response to Wei Yan's question, Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Congratulations, you guessed right. This is why I asked you to come here."
The problem you need to solve is to identify the value that 1 point can generate and to make it recognized by everyone.
Also, remember to give me a satisfactory solution within three days.
Ah, damn it...
Although he was mentally prepared, when he heard Wang Xiao say it himself, Wei Yan's last glimmer of hope was completely shattered.
Because this amount of work is far more complex than Wang Xiao described; there are too many factors to consider.
For example, let's take the most basic food as an example.
Can meat and vegetables be valued at the same price? Obviously not.
Besides the fact that the intrinsic value of food is difficult to calculate, its value can also fluctuate depending on time and current circumstances.
It's simply impossible for him to provide a perfect answer within three days by himself!
It will kill people.
Because it's impossible for him to consider all the situations by himself.
At this moment, Wei Yan felt an urge to mutate.
[Your employee, Wei Yan, is experiencing extreme mood swings due to the work you assigned her, posing a risk of suffocation. For the long-term operation of the hotel, we recommend arranging for a psychologist or taking her leave as soon as possible.]
Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow as he read the system's notification.
Such a strong reaction? That can't be right.
Young people need pressure to be motivated!
Indeed, skipping the harsh realities of society meant that Wei Yan missed out on a wealth of valuable experience.
But since the system has already given a warning, it means the situation is still somewhat serious.
After taking a sip of the broth Lu Ran had prepared, Wang Xiao reassured him, "Don't be nervous. It's not like you're the only one doing this. I'll have Zhao Yajun help you. Don't rush things. I only need a first draft. You can refine it later as you like."
Wei Yan gradually calmed down and said, "Boss, I understand what you mean. As long as the points system is confirmed, the issues of employee salaries and employee benefits can be resolved together."
But what about the employee benefits and promotion paths you mentioned later?
Wang Xiao said, "It's very simple. Employee benefits can be based on the pre-apocalyptic five social insurances and one housing fund, with some modifications. For example, if someone is seriously injured while working for the hotel, do you think we should save them?"
Wei Yan replied, "Of course we should save him."
Wang Xiao continued, "But what if saving him requires a lot of resources? And these resources require a lot of points to exchange, but he can't afford them. Are we just going to give up on him?"
This question caused Wei Yan to fall silent.
Because once a hotel implements a points system, the entire hotel will have to operate under an extremely standardized system...
Seeing Wei Yan's serious expression, Wang Xiao also gave his answer.
"Obviously not. After all, others have risked their lives for you. You can't let your subordinates feel disheartened. But even if you really want to help, you still have to give a suitable reason, right?"
Remember what I said before? My hotel is not some kind of charity.
Moreover, doing this has another advantage: we can also recover some of the points.
As points begin to circulate within the hotel, ensuring a balance between the supply and demand of points and goods is a major challenge we need to consider, and these are issues that require continuous improvement in the future.
Wang Xiao's explanation wasn't very detailed, but Wei Yan already had a basic idea in mind.
Wei Yan nodded and said, "I understand. I'll think about it carefully these next few days."
Seeing that Wei Yan understood his meaning, Wang Xiao continued, "As for the final promotion system, there's no rush. I will announce it personally tomorrow."
"Yes."
……
Over the next few minutes, Wang Xiao and Wei Yan had lunch while further discussing these issues, and Lu Ran also offered some suggestions along the way.
Three days is a short time. Although I can't provide a perfect solution, I should be able to fool the system's review.
After some discussion, Wang Xiao bid farewell to the two men and returned to his room on the third floor.
Lying in bed, Wang Xiao opened his personal panel.
